desert. we're building up to a massive showdown in riyadh. >> bit of a grey start in places this morning. some mist and low cloud around, but that should clear most of us brightening up and warming up. just watch out for i or 2 heavy showers across parts of the south. join me later for a full weekend forecast. >> good morning to you. >> good morning to you. >> i'm ellie costello and i'm anne diamond and this is breakfast on gb news. >> and welcome back and thank you. it's so good to see you. >> thank you very much. it's lovely to be back. so good to have you back. >> and the viewers are so excited to see you as well, john andrews, before we even came on air, left us a message on gbnews.com/yoursay saying celebration time, come on, let's celebrate and is back with a big line of party emojis and good morning ellie as well, says john with a thumbs up and jan b's beenin with a thumbs up and jan b's been in touch a minute ago saying welcome back and so very

happy again. >> it wasn't a world cruise that again. i always get i always what cruise are you on now.7 >> what cruise are you on now? >> yeah, exactly. >> yeah, exactly. >> it wasn't i wasn't very well basically. and i've still got the throat, but much better now . the throat, but much better now. it was, i spent most of easter weekend in a&e. oh, because i had, i tell you what, i'm going to one day when i get a proper diagnosis and it's taken this long to even get to try and figure out what happened. but it is definitely something to do with stonkingly high blood pressure. oh, and the paramedics who came to my house, insisted they took me into hospital because , they said at that sort because, they said at that sort of level of high blood pressure, you have to go into hospital. that's right. so we had to find out why , and it just shows, you out why, and it just shows, you know, when ever you go to the doctors now or frankly, whenever you go into a pharmacy, there's always notices up saying if you're over 40 and you've never had your blood pressure taken, get it taken here now, because high blood pressure is one of

the most dangerous things , ever. the most dangerous things, ever. and if you if you act upon it, it's clearly a real problem amongst many people. and if you can act on it soon enough and keep your blood pressure under control, you can avoid a lot of the problems in later life. big problems. and there's no doubt that very, very, very, very high blood pressure was one of the problems i had. and it's taken this long to get things under control. >> well, i'm so glad you're feeling better. feeling much better, feeling much better. thank goodness. and really good to have you back. >> and one of the other things about, i mean, going the last few weeks have just been nothing but tests, mris and pet scans and ct scans and ultrasounds and it's been ridiculous . one of the it's been ridiculous. one of the good sides of that is that while they were looking for what was causing the heart problem, they said , but there's one thing we said, but there's one thing we can say again and again, there's no sign of any resurgence of the cancen no sign of any resurgence of the cancer. well thank goodness. so. yeah, exactly. it's a sort of, a bright edge . what do they call bright edge. what do they call it? a silver edge to the cloud. >> yeah, the silver lining. >> yeah, the silver lining. >> absolutely. so all i can say

is, if you don't keep an eye on your blood pressure, please do. >> so it's a really important message. >> oh my goodness. >> oh my goodness. >> it's very serious. it really is. it's really good to have you back. and so many messages coming through jane term saying welcome back. an and phil reynolds says thank goodness you're back. an people will drive me crazy saying where's an so many people were asking after you an it was going crazy on gb news com slash your say and obviously it's not our business to say where you are or how you are. no >> so i didn't really know. >> so i didn't really know. >> and you didn't know either did you. so we won't say anything just out to out of respect, but we're very happy to see you. >> it's lovely to be back. and that's a change. have your say so now it's. no, it's no longer gb views. gb news. yeah. it's. now you have to go to gp news.com/your say exactly that. there you go. right i've been watching. >> now should we go to our top story. because the labour party are looking to introduce rent controls on private landlords. if they win power at the next general election . the shadow general election. the shadow chancellor rachel reeves, is known to be a fan of the idea.

>> now, you see, that would allow councils to prevent landlords raising rents above a set amount every year. they've trialled it in scotland, but the trials found that it did reduce the supply of housing and it actually forced up new rents. >> well joining us now is political commentator john oxley. good to see you this morning john. what do you make of this. >> it's interesting. >> it's interesting. >> you can obviously see why labour are offering it. it sounds really good. it's the sort of thing people like. but rent controls are really interesting. when you look at what economists say about them. so economists never really agree on very much . so economists never really agree on very much. but so economists never really agree on very much . but there so economists never really agree on very much. but there is one thing that economists all across the profession agree on, which is rent controls aren't a very goodidea is rent controls aren't a very good idea because yes, they're great if you're already in a property and you're renting it and your rent is frozen. but what they do is they take the movement out of the market, they take the incentive away for new landlords. a lot of landlords just sell up and move on. and as well, the other thing it really hits is people having money to

invest back in properties. one of the big problems we have in this country is not just affordability of housing, but in the rental system, especially its quality of housing. its houses are damp. they don't have, you know , updated boilers, have, you know, updated boilers, whatever. and so if you're capping the amount that landlords can take, you're really disincentivizing the idea that you put money back into the property and make it better for your tenants. >> but we do have this enormous problem with availability of affordable rented accommodation . affordable rented accommodation. so if this isn't the answer, what is? >> i mean, quite bluntly, it's having more houses when you look across europe, when you look with international comparisons, we just have far fewer homes built for our population than almost anywhere else. and if you unlock that supply, one of the things is you're getting nice modern homes that meet all the standards we expect and everything else is just kind of playing around at the edges. it's not going to have the same dramatic impact that actually

building the sort of houses, the amount of houses we've been saying we want to try to build for years and just haven't been doing rent controls have remained popular, haven't they? >> with labour grandees . and we >> with labour grandees. and we know that rachel reeves is a fan. why is that? >> i think it's one of those things that it it sounds good. it sounds like a good quick fix. it sounds like a good quick fix. it is popular with renters for obvious reasons. you know, it sounds like something's on your side. and also, let's face it, landlords are not a particularly popular group. they're particularly not very popular among the labour party. so it sounds good. you know, if you're old fashioned labour or young laboun old fashioned labour or young labour, sticking it to the landlords is a very nice popular policy. >> but we live in a time where, as we were all agree, is that there's not enough housing, and i just wonder how moral it is anymore for anyone to be a landlord or to or to own more than one house. i mean, what

what chance do young people have nowadays to even rent a property , let alone own a property, when clearly rents are just too hard? they're unaffordable . they're unaffordable. >> but that's largely driven by mismatch between supply and demand, driven by our lack of houses. i mean, one of the interesting things, again, when you look at international comparisons , britain has comparisons, britain has actually a very low number of second home owners compared with lots of european countries, whether that's having a, you know , holiday home in the forest know, holiday home in the forest like they do in scandinavia, or whether it is people owning properties, multiple properties, it's very difficult question. but ultimately, you know, it kind of depends whether you believe the government should restrict that kind of thing or if you believe in a free market. and i think if you believe in a free market, the real solution is a greater abundance of properties so that anyone can own what they want. >> free market tends to result, doesn't it? in the rich getting ficher doesn't it? in the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. >> but what we've seen over the

last 70 years is we have through the town and country planning act, we have an incredibly restrictive planning system, which really constrains that , which really constrains that, and that is the major driver of our current housing crisis . you our current housing crisis. you know, i think there's a think tank report that says we've built something like 4 million fewer homes than we need, and thatis fewer homes than we need, and that is the biggest driver. >> but on the other side of the coin, these comments from rachel reeves going to exacerbate fears amongst homeowners and landlords , that this is a further war on landlords . they say that they're landlords. they say that they're already victims of tax rates under the conservatives >> yes. and, you know, certainly over the last few years , the over the last few years, the government repeated governments have made it harder, made it less profitable to own multiple homes and to really profit from them. there are some good economic arguments around that, that sort of their money should be invested in doing more productive things. but yeah, if you're a landlord, you're not going to be a fan of these proposals. >> okay. good to see you this

morning, john oxley. thank you very much indeed. >> right. well, let us know your feelings. you already are, tony. tony has just said there just aren't enough homes and it's the poor quality of some new builds. just look at cambridge. some new builds are being knocked down because they were so poorly built. and maybe we need more council houses as well. well, yes. talking and winding the clock back about 50 years now. i feel very old fashioned saying that. but maybe that's how you feel too. do get in touch, should we catch up with the weather now? i think here's alex deakin. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> good morning. welcome to your latest weather update from the met office here on gb news. a bit of a murky start to the weekend for many of us, but most of us will see some warm spells of us will see some warm spells of sunshine today. we're all going to be a few heavy showers around later on. a bit damp and drizzly in parts of the south coast , and drizzly in parts of the south coast, and say some mist and fog around in places to parts of the coast of the northeast. sticking

with that haar throughout, but most areas brightening up good spells of sunshine and then later on, the likelihood of some scattered but quite heavy showers over parts of south wales and southwest england in the sunny spells 20 degrees 21, 22, maybe 23. in a few spots it will be cooler on some north sea coast, particularly in the far north—east where that mist and low cloud sticks around. and there's the threat of these showers turning quite heavy across devon, cornwall, somerset , parts of south wales as well, not everywhere seeing them, but where they do develop could drop quite a lot of rain in a short space of time. the shower is much more scattered further east, a few breaking out to over the hills and mountains of scotland. and there's that mist and low cloud that ha threatening to cling to parts of the coast of the east and the north of scotland, suppressing the temperatures. but in the sunny spells in the west of scotland, in the south, temperatures again getting over 20 c. as for this evening, well, still a few heavy showers around across the southwest , so bear across the southwest, so bear that in mind. for most of us, though, are pretty pleasant summers evening, if you will, the mist and low cloud likely to

thicken up and just drift back inland over parts of eastern england . so again making for england. so again making for a fairly murky, misty start for many of us to tomorrow morning. temperatures holding up in double digits in most towns and cities onto sunday, and again for the vast majority , it's for the vast majority, it's looking like a fine bright day, starting grey and murky and misty. but that mist and low cloud should disappear still 1 or 2 showers across southwest england and again over the mountains of scotland. the mist and low cloud will again cling to some eastern coasts, but for the vast majority again dry, brightening up sunny spells, developing and feeling warm in that sunshine as well. goodbye >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on . gb news. on. gb news. >> hello again. it's 6:12 now. here is a news story that i think will divide opinion in a very interesting way. a secondary school maths teacher is facing a lengthy jail term

because she's been convicted of having sex with two students that she brought home to her home in salford quays. >> well, that's as the 30 year old rebekah jones also gave birth to one of the boy's babies earlier this year. the boys in question were 15 and 16 years old. >> well, we're joined by social justice campaigner winston davis. this is an extraordinary story because we've all been, as we've all been looking at the headunes we've all been looking at the headlines and there's a degree of, well, there's a difference . of, well, there's a difference. if it were a man convicted of having sex and then a baby with one with 15, 16 year old girls. yeah the headlines would be would be paedophile. would be sex pervert. >> he's a rapist. that's it. that's literally it. we would be saying rapist. paedophile has , saying rapist. paedophile has, you know, sex with children and has a baby by them , you know. has a baby by them, you know. but here we're talking about, you know, softly spoken gymnast talking about maybe humanising her and the reality of it is

she's a rapist. but actually in uk law, we can't say she's a rapist because rape is only available to men using their penis inside a vagina or anus or mouth without consent. so women can't . women can't rape legally can't. women can't rape legally by law. they can't rape a man. yeah, so that's why they may not use the word rape inside the articles. because legally, you can't call her a rapist. >> but, i mean, it just shows how unusual it is, though. i mean, that's a terrible thing to say, but it is much more usual to have a male in this situation than a female , which might than a female, which might explain why there's almost a degree of sympathy, there are headunes degree of sympathy, there are headlines that talk about her being very quiet. you know, you'd never have thought feeling lonely and that she's had a baby. and is it right for her to be in prison now and away from her baby? yeah. no. >> it's disgusting. it's like, look, she's she's had a baby. the baby's now been, you know, living with the father's family. she is seeing the baby a few times a week. but you know what,

right? have you got to one take away the. the childhood of this boy taking away his virginity. taken away? you know, maybe some of his life's aspirations. it's like, you know, she literally needs to get the book thrown at her for whatever. you know, we talk about. i talk about a lot. look, i've been in trouble myself with the police as a youngster. i took accountability for it, and i. and i served what i had to serve. but this woman, she needs to take accountability of her actions. you know, she needs to be sent to prison. she needs to be sent to prison. she needs to be thinking about what she's done and sort her life out i >> -- >> and 5mm >> and what about the baby? i mean, i mean, innocent innocent babyi mean, i mean, innocent innocent baby i mean what i mean what story is that . story is that. >> you know, ten, 15 years from now she finds out that gone. >> well the papers are reporting this morning that actually the baby could spend the first few years of their life in prison with this woman. how does that make you feel ? make you feel? >> i think that's completely wrong. i mean, again, sounds unlikely to me if the if the baby's got a family already now. so this is so this is the baby's father. do you know what? so here we are. so i, aside from i

spent seven years in a family court trying to see my eldest son. so i've got a good knowledge of this area and actually, they'll set a precedent. and if the baby's needs are central to this or being met by the father's family in a safe environment, and that's the best thing for what the baby. is it the best thing to be with the father's family in their house, being looked after, cared for, loved for, you know, outside stimulus or to be locked up in a prison? no, don't think so. >> no . if the baby's with the >> no. if the baby's with the baby's father, that is the best family . the best thing. but but family. the best thing. but but if you look at the woman now and again, if it were a man, i wouldn't be asking this question. but is prison the right place for her? she's clearly sick. >> she belongs in prison 100. she's broken the law. she's raped children. >> yes, but is the are there the right sort of services within prison to help her? >> so then this comes back to the conversation about rehabilitation then. yeah, prison is the right place for her. but the emphasis should be on there on rehabilitation. and then the question is, when you've raped a child, can you be

rehabilitated . yeah. rehabilitated. yeah. >> okay. well, winston davis , >> okay. well, winston davis, good to see you this morning. thank you very much indeed. >> do let us know what you think about that one because that's a as i said, it's a really difficult one. and i think it will divide opinion. >> i think it will. it certainly will. i've been really shocked actually at the discourse. i was looking on social media yesterday and just the amount of people being like, oh, the boy is probably loved it. and you know, you just never see if that was if that was a male teacher with teenage girls, you'd never see those sorts of comments. and it really did strike me with this case study. let us know what you think. >> gbnews.com/yoursay right. should we have a look now at some of the other stories coming into the newsroom? this morning? >> and the bodies of three people kidnapped by hamas from a music festival on october 7 have been found in gaza. the israeli defence forces confirmed the three bodies were discovered overnight from intelligence gained by interviewing captured hamas fighters. >> among the three hostages was 22 year old shani luke, whose

twisted remains were photographed on the back of a pickup truck . israel thinks pickup truck. israel thinks about 100 hostages may still be alive, whilst another 30 are now thought to be dead . thought to be dead. >> the government is to bring in protections for schools and teachers . after one teacher was teachers. after one teacher was dnven teachers. after one teacher was driven into hiding by muslim activists, the teacher in question showed pupils a cartoon of the prophet muhammad from the french satirical magazine charlie hebdo during a religious studies lesson. they were forced to move and adopt a new identity with their partner, and four children after a charity exposed them, leading to harassment, and there are now 46 confirmed cases of the waterborne parasite cryptosporidium . cryptosporidium. >> but the water company behind the outbreak are unable to confirm how long residents in south devon will be affected . south devon will be affected. and it means these cases, awful cases of the diarrhoea inducing bug, have more than doubled in less than 24 hours. more than

100 people have also reported nasty symptoms . here's nasty symptoms. here's an interesting one that's come in from one of our lovely viewers. good morning, paul says it's good to see anne back, but question why does gb news seem to think that it's to okay have two women presenters, but not two women presenters, but not two men? gb news has never had two men? gb news has never had two male presenters, especially doing the breakfast slot. they seem to think two women good, two men bad, which is sexist, and they do it quite regularly. and it's funny that because , and it's funny that because, time was that you only ever got your news from two men sitting next to each other. news at ten was always two men. really? oh, gosh. yeah, yeah, it's that long ago. and then somebody somewhere thought, oh, we ought to bring a woman in. and then it became always man and woman, but, you know, your news always used to be delivered by two chaps. oh, there you go. so the sort of pendulum has swung, but it'll swing back in the opposite way.

>> and also, stephen is meant to be sat here today, but he is off celebrating his wedding anniversary. so i am stepping in for him this weekend. so i'm here today and tomorrow. but usually, of course, it would be stephen and anne, which is a man and a woman. yeah. so it's not a permanent fixture is it? >> sorry if you don't like it, but yeah, that's what you've got this weekend, i'm afraid. >> yeah, but do you keep your messages coming in? so many people. really pleased to see you back. and it's so nice. seaside mum says so nice to see you back. and we really missed you.thank you back. and we really missed you. thank you. and phil reynolds says it was an absolute pleasure to listen then to winston davis. i entirely agree with him. >> that's fascinating isn't it. i mean it's a horrible story. this teacher being sent to jail now for having sex or raping, if you like , two of her pupils, you like, two of her pupils, i mean it's a breach of trust in every way you can imagine, isn't it. but the fact that there is now an innocent baby there who will one day grow up to know what these headlines really mean? yeah, it's just awful. horrible >> and the families of those two boys as well, i mean, you can only imagine i was reading some of the details this morning. we

obviously don't know the names of these two boys. they are, they are minors. minors but the family of child a the mother, the boy returned home with a love bite on his neck, and it then transpired what had happened, and she apparently marched him into school and she was beside herself, as she would be. yes, if you found that out . be. yes, if you found that out. and then it was whilst she was on bail for that boy. a charge, that the baby was conceived with. boy two. so it really is just the most horrific case. and you can imagine she has changed those boys lives forever. >> yes, yes, certainly the one who's now a dad. >> he's got a baby age of 15 or 16. >> yeah, but thank god the family have taken the child. i mean, what a lovely family. >> really, amanda churchill says this subject drives me mad. she does belong in prison. yes, she does belong in prison. yes, she doesin does belong in prison. yes, she does in capital letters. >> yeah. catherine says jail is the only place for her. her children should be taken off her. i think she's only got that one. and paul says she probably

only had the baby hoping it would keep her out of jail. don't know about that. well, as we were saying with winston, some of the papers reporting that they think the baby is going to spend the first few years with her mother behind bars. >> but as winston and anne were, i wouldn't have thought so. don't think that. not when the father. >> why should she have any more right to have the baby with her than the father. and if the baby has a loving home with the father and the father's family, then surely that's better? >> well, that's something that a judge is putting at the centre of, of the sentencing. she has already said the innocent baby is going to be her focus, but it doesn't mean that she's going to be let off. and she did say that in her remarks yesterday. so we will, of course, keep you abreast of all of that and the sentencing when it comes on gb news now, you couldn't write this, you couldn't make it up. >> but the tv personality and former presenter of the weakest link, anne robinson , has link, anne robinson, has confirmed her relationship with the queen's ex—husband, tom parker—bowles. yes, the 79 year

old told saga magazine that she's been out of the game for a long time before embarking on the romance. now, tom parker—bowles , married camilla parker—bowles, married camilla back in 1973. that's queen camilla, of course, to us now. and they had two children together before splitting in the mid 90s. >> well, joining us now is royal correspondent and writer michael cole. very good morning to you michael. did you see this one coming. >> good morning ellie. good morning anne. great news. love's young dream. isn't it wonderful anne. >> it is, i mean. >> and you 79 andrew parker bowles is 84. i first knew i first met anne when she was 24, and she was sitting on the edge of a desk at an american airbase in a pink gingham blouse , a pair in a pink gingham blouse, a pair ofjeans in a pink gingham blouse, a pair of jeans and a pair of pink plimsolls swinging her leg. she was working for the sunday times, and we were both covering a story about a lovelorn american airman who who'd stolen

an aeroplane to fly home in america. and of course, over the years, i knew her quite well. i knew both her husbands, charlie wilson, who was the editor of the times, and then he was he launched a paper up in scotland when i was the scotland correspondent called scotland on sunday, and her second husband, john penrose, who was a really nice guy. i did some great stories with him in rome and interestingly, i met tom, tom, tom parker, who is the sun, we got him his first job when i was at harrods. andrew parker bowles came in with his son, and we set him up with his first job. he's now quite a famous food writer. that's the sun. there. we see, parker bowles with his medals. he was, of course , in the he was, of course, in the household cavalry, the head of the veterinary service, of the army and there they are together. and that's not anne, of course. indeed. in fact, i'm not sure who that lady is. that

is, of course, when they were together. there's tom, the sun behind them, and there's andrew. and now queen camilla, of course, the king, the present king, when he was prince of wales, had an affair with mrs. parker bowles, as she then was. but on the other hand , andrew but on the other hand, andrew was said to be very close to prince charles's sister, princess anne. it was always a rumour, never been denied. so you can say they all kept it in the family. they're all very close together. they all, as i was saying, you almost. >> you almost couldn't make it up that, in fact, our strapline has got it wrong there. it's anne robinson has confirmed her relationship with andrew parker bowles. tom parker bowles. >> yeah, well, i did gently correct that. yeah you need to change that doesn't doesn't matter. doesn't matter . we all matter. doesn't matter. we all make mistakes. anyway, it's great to see you back, but i must just, just say, that, when i presented bbc 1:00 news

normally used to have an on when she was the editor of the daily mirror, and as she, she was very interested in what i was doing, and she said, how do you do this? and she wanted to know about the autocue, everything. about five weeks later, she started presenting bbc points of view, and it all went on from there , to, to the greatness. of there, to, to the greatness. of course, anne has had her problems in the past, she entitled her autobiography unfit mother because that's what the judge said to her. she had alcohol problems and she lost the custody of her daughter, who's now, i think, a very successful journalist. so she had her problems, but she kicked alcohol , and she really had her problems, but she kicked alcohol, and she really is quite alcohol, and she really is quite a sober person. and she is not the mean of the queen of mean. i promise you, she is a very engaging person and when she was between husbands, i knew her and always used to invite her to events. she's good fun and i loved her. her comments, she was it was put to her that she was

having an affair with parker bowles and she said yes ,. none bowles and she said yes,. none of your business. which of course is typically her. but i must say there is, you know , by must say there is, you know, by small things, history changes. she came up to suffolk, where i am now, and she was looking at a house, and she and john penrose nearly bought it. but then they discovered there was a pig farm next door. so they thought they wouldn't go ahead. then they bought in gloucester, gloucestershire . and that's gloucestershire. and that's where she's met parker bowles. so the geese saved rome and the pigs so the geese saved rome and the pigs changed history as she's gone down there and she's met andrew parker, who is, of course, a very charming man, he's very much a character out of one of jilly cooper's books. very suave , and i'm quite sure very suave, and i'm quite sure they get on enormously well . and they get on enormously well. and i think all we can do on gb news and love springs eternal, is to wish them well. i certainly do. >> yes, i certainly do. despite

the fact that she was one of the horrors of fleet street every wednesday. do you remember every newspaper had their wednesday didn't they? yes, yes. and you had wednesday. >> wednesday wishes. oh, wednesday. >> wednesday witches . that's >> wednesday witches. that's right. you had jean rook in the express. you had lynda lee—potter in the mail and you had anne robinson in the mirror. and if you were on telly at the time, you used to dread opening the papers on a wednesday morning , because if they would morning, because if they would all go, i must say anne wrote about me and she said i was. >> television news is peter pan . >> television news is peter pan. well, it was a long time ago, so i'm not sure whether i'm still peter pan. more captain hook now. oh it's good to talk to you, though. >> lovely to see you as ever, and yeah, of course, no matter what we think of the wednesday witches and robinson being a key one. oh, it was horrible . one. oh, it was horrible. wednesday mornings were horrible, yeah, but i do think that at her age, having found love is a wonderful thing. i think it's lovely. >> it's so romantic, isn't it? age is just a number. it's wonderful. so we wish them well.

next. welcome back to breakfast. you're all very happy to see. and just wanted to share this one from paula hunt, who says it's so amazing to see anne diamond back. pure class. >> oh, thank you very much. >> oh, thank you very much. >> how nice is that? >> how nice is that? >> yeah, we're very happy to see this. >> after all the nasty things anne robinson used to say about me. >> yeah, we're just hearing it's nice to have something nice. yes. >> it's lovely to see you back. it's also lovely to see aidan magee who is here with us.

indeed. >> good to see you both. >> good to see you both. >> welcome back. anne. thank you. >> what have you got for us? we've got this big fight in the desert. >> dust up in the desert. >> dust up in the desert. >> that's what i thought. i thought i'm a bit lazy. i call any fight that happens in saudi arabia, which is most of them are dust up in the desert. but this one's particularly big, the fight of the century and has been billed as. and every every belt is on the line. we've had a postponement earlier in the year owing to tyson fury's cut on his eye. that would be a risk tonight, we think, oh yes, i'd forgotten about that. >> yeah, so long ago that happened. it was. >> i mean, i'll tell you what, it was a nasty it was a nasty gash. he's saying he's saying that it's fully healed up, i'm sure, from a safety perspective it's absolutely fine. but if you're upset, you have to go for that weakness. you have to. you wouldn't you wouldn't you. and you have to. so it'll be it'll be intriguing. tonight when they step out into the ring, we think they'll enter the ring around about midnight. and our time. >> yes. oh, it's very late, isn't it? so >> yeah. so if i'm, if i'm, if i'm struggling, if i'm falling asleep on the bench tomorrow you'll, you'll understand why. well, forgive me, i have to watch it. you will. >> you'll stay up all night, won't you? >> i'll be asleep at that time. >> i'll be asleep at that time. >> so what will be interesting is the stance that fury takes.

if he's left poor, he's up here somewhere. we know he's worried about the gash and that should, in theory, anyway. give some give some encouragement to us. >> because even if it's healed well, to look at it, it has to be a weakness, doesn't it? >> well, you'd think so. wasn't that long ago either. but look, they have experienced cuts. men around them and they should be able to, to manage it. >> adrian, what about a few days ago when we saw tyson fury on crutches? what was that about? was that all for publicity, do you think? >> yes. i mean, look, he's he's well known for causing mayhem in, in the build up to fight week. he didn't even look at usyk in the eye on the on on thursday at the news conference yesterday he was singing . he was yesterday he was singing. he was singing and he shoved. he was singing and he shoved. he was singing as well. i mean there's a big size difference between these two guys. but having said that, i was looking at the weights here. uzuki's come in at 16 stone six. that's the heaviest he's he's ever been in at in his in his career. he's six foot three tyson fury's six foot nine, 18 stone seven. now that's the lightest he's been in four years. so they kind of met each other in the middle. it's not a catchweight fight because obviously it's a heavyweight bout, but they've kind of met each other somewhere around there. lennox lewis, famous, uk

british fighter of course a undisputed champion. champions the last one we saw, he said that he's worried that with sorry fury's. fury's height and the weight that he's lost on his legs, he could potentially be easier to knock down. but we'll see. i mean, look , this has been see. i mean, look, this has been they they've been posturing for so many, so many years now that we always thought this fight would happen. we saw a glimpse of usyk quality when he dispatched dispatched anthony joshua twice , not once but twice joshua twice, not once but twice in the last year or two. and i think it will be an exciting fight, i really do. >> can we push you for a prediction, i think i think it will go the distance . and i will go the distance. and i think that fury will take it in a split decision . a split decision. >> oh, okay. what's a split decision? >> well, it means a unanimous would mean all the judges a draw, all three. all three judges. if it's unanimous , would judges. if it's unanimous, would have to agree with that one fighter. one. or you could get a split decision, which would mean one believes that, say, for argument's sake. so no knockout. you don't think i can't see a knockout? no, no, i think with the slimmed down, fury might

struggle to knock down, knock down. usyk is incredibly durable. he hasn't fought at home. he's ukrainian, hasn't fought at home for a good few years. he's the guy who goes and beats champions in their own backyard. he's got his mental fortitude, is outstanding. both fighters unbeaten of course. so of course okay. it could be a draw. but as they say in boxing a lot of the time somebody though has got to go, but not necessarily if it's a draw. okay >> so it's a big game. >> so it's a big game. >> so it's a big game. >> so and i think there's a there's a there's a possibility of a rematch as well. whoever whoever whoever loses. >> should we look at the golf . >> should we look at the golf. >> should we look at the golf. >> yeah. scottie scheffler really interesting yesterday. this is the world number one the us pga championship. he's heading to. he's in valhalla yesterday he sees a traffic traffic accident which actually involved a fatality. and in trying to avoid the traffic jam, he, he gets in trouble with the with the police. and so he's charged. he's arrested and charged. he's arrested and charged for second degree assault of a police officer, third degree criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding traffic signals from a police officer. now he has to actually warm up and do his stretching in the cell before then taking to the course

and producing a hell of a round. and he's currently fourth in the leaderboard. and i just think an. you've interviewed lots of sports people down the years. they just think differently about , about life, don't they? about, about life, don't they? and about the challenge in front of them. i mean, i wouldn't be able to concentrate if something like that happened to me. and for the within, within hours. and yet we see sportspeople all the time just shrug all this stuff if their training isn't it. years ago, they discovered that it's the mindset. >> it's all about the mindset. >> it's all about the mindset. >> it's all about the mindset. >> it is, he said. i mean, imagine, imagine that preparation you're stretching in a prison cell before going out and facing the world in an international tournament. he's apologised , you know, there was apologised, you know, there was actually a fatality that somebody was run over by, by bus outside the outside the course , outside the outside the course, and he was trying to make his tee time in the morning to get there. so there was a reason. but the reaction sounds a bit, over the top to say the least. but nonetheless, he's in action later today, fourth in the leaderboard, and he's the world number one. so the spotlight is on him and has to be more careful and responsible about the impact his actions have around the world, i would suggest. >> yeah certainly does. >> yeah certainly does. >> okay. well we'll leave it there and we'll talk more next

time. a big football weekend, isn't it? indeed. >> jurgen klopp's last game? absolutely we've got a title race on the line. so what are you looking at me like that for this? >> i mean i said to anna, i was like, you're so sporty. i feel like, you're so sporty. i feel like you know all about the sports. she's like, no, no, no, i definitely don't. and then here we are. it's a big footballing weekend. we know all about the game. >> it'sjurgen about the game. >> it's jurgen klopp. >> it's jurgen klopp. >> wait he gets i mean i like jurgen klopp i don't know much about him but i love his name. >> yeah i remember he actually you're on duty here this weekend when he, when he when he announced his retirement back in february. and you you said you were quite taken by his charm. >> yes. yes, he was charming. absolutely. >> he's got good teeth. >> he's got good teeth. >> oh, i didn't notice. they're not real. >> how can you not notice? is he single? >> huge. no he's not. >> huge. no he's not. >> no. >> no. >> oh, we could have match made. >> oh, we could have match made. >> all the good ones have gone. >> all the good ones have gone. >> i know, i know, but anyway, it's worth shooting your shot an absolute. thanks, john. thanks very much indeed. do stay with us. we're going to be going through the papers next with cindy yu and winston davis. this

next. welcome back to breakfast with me and anne. we are joined by the editor of the spectator, cindy yu and social campaigner winston davis to go through the papers. very good morning to you both . and, cindy, let's start both. and, cindy, let's start with you, shall we? this is our top story this morning. this is about rent controls . about rent controls. >> yep. >> yep. >> so, rachel reeves on an interview recently basically failed to rule out rent caps . failed to rule out rent caps. and rent caps basically are where the government can say to your local council or local landlords, you cannot raise your rent above the certain level. theoretically, it sounds like a great idea because for tenants they won't be facing 50% rises or something like that . but or something like that. but actually, when you look at the economics of the thing, if something like this does come in, it just makes their it just makes shortage come in, actually, because landlords aren't unable to respond to the market. if there's more demand for it, they can't raise prices like they normally would , and so

like they normally would, and so actually when it has been introduced in other places, it basically just leads to sort of shortage of housing and, and in the long run, you know, landlords don't want to stay in that market. and it leads to a, to a, a smaller supply. now, i think the saving grace in this story is actually when you look at what rachel reeves actually said, it sounds like she's actually very excited about this idea, so slightly taken out of context, i would say that the telegraph has done what she has actually said is where rent controls have happened. it's not always delivered the results that people might want. what i've just said, i think that should be up for local areas. decide there may be a case for that in some local areas, which is what some of the papers have run with. but as a blanket approach, i'm not convinced by that. so i do feel like it's important to say i don't think this is labour policy. >> no, but it is very popular with labour grandees, though, and it is very popular with regional mayors. >> yes, and local councils. so, so in the council that i live in fulham and hammersmith, they've commissioned a report into it. i mean, i wish they did this before my rent went up. exactly. well, that's what i mean . well, that's what i mean. >> obviously everybody's going to say, all right, but

something's got to be done to keep rents reasonable, isn't it? >> listen, i'm all for like , >> listen, i'm all for like, people that are the most needy having, you know, themselves are looked after and rent capping would be great in that respect. but actually we were in a free market economy. and if you're going to incentive wise people to actually buy properties to fuel the economy and then to rent them out, they must they must be making money from it. i mean, obviously, i'd look at the actual conditions of the property more than the rent, making sure that, you know, they've got sufficient heating and electric whatever. and it's in good condition because you've got slum landlords. i'd be looking at more slum landlords and actually capping the rent . and actually capping the rent. that's that's like doesn't make sense. you've got supply, you've got demand. and you know the elasticity of price. it makes sense . sense. >> i think what makes most people utterly sick is in big cities like for instance, london, where you see whole tower blocks of apartments that are empty and it's because whoever owns them and very often they're from abroad , whoever they're from abroad, whoever owns them actually doesn't want the bother of actually letting

them, they just see them as the building itself, as an asset. yeah. >> because they're just land grabbing, you know, we literally, you see, i mean, that should be stopped. that should be stopped. and that's something they should be more focused on. these ridiculously rich, lots of foreign investors , let's say foreign investors, let's say just hoarding land property. i was i was talking to a guy who does a home automation and he's got he said, there's the biggest mansion in in the heart of london has been owned by some foreign investor for the last eight years. it was built and he's done all of it up. he's never seen the guy there once in eight years. and it's worth, you know, hundreds of millions of pounds. it's central prime, prime, central location that should be stopped. that should they should, you know, normal people should then be would be able to afford to live in our city, you know, and also lastly sorry, is the government on building affordable homes. you know, we're not meeting the targets for building affordable homes. i've been saying this for decades now . they're not meeting decades now. they're not meeting that meeting. these build house building requirements . so let's building requirements. so let's focus on that. and then actually the supply would be there. so

then your rent wouldn't get pushed up. >> yeah. and labour haven't actually said anything about that about house building. >> no no i mean one of natalie elphicke the former well the mp for dover who used to be a conservative but recently defected to the labour party, said that house building was one of the reasons that she went to the labour party, that the conservatives weren't doing enough. but labour haven't said anything about it. did you find that quite bizarre in those six pledges that were set out in essex this week? >> did you find it quite bizarre that housing wasn't on the agenda ? agenda? >> not really, because i don't think i think labour will have the same problems with the nimbys. you know, the people who are against more house building and in some ways labour have more concerns like environmental concerns. so one of their recent rules is about, i think it's called nutrient diversity or something like that , basically something like that, basically to make sure that the land that you're building on has enough ecosystem that you're not ruining, and all sorts of kind of environmental rules that the labour party is more likely to. yeah but if labour isn't going to do something about housing, who is ? and i have come to who is? and i have come to expect no one to do anything about housing in this country

because it's such a difficult subject. >> it's such a difficult area that we've got so many factors against us. the cost of materials , the labour shortages, materials, the labour shortages, laboun materials, the labour shortages, labour, skilled shortage, shortage of skilled labour people are just struggling. so successive governments are failing to. to meet this, i said someone's got to take the bull by the horns and actually face it head on and sort it out. >> well and apparently it's not labour and we know it's also, it's not the conservatives because they're not, haven't done anything for years. so who done anything for years. so who do we vote for. >> yeah i think it's important to say as well that keir starmer has got clearly got this kind of ming vase view of kind of going into the election. so he's holding the party right now. he's really, really afraid of dropping it. he's 20 points aheadin dropping it. he's 20 points ahead in the polls and he just doesn't want to screw up. so anything that's controversial , anything that's controversial, which is why today's rent caps headunes which is why today's rent caps headlines are going to be really annoying for them , because this annoying for them, because this is going to scare a lot of voters who are landlords. and that's controversial. they're just steering clear off. but if they get some kind of supermajority, a majority of 100 seats or 200 seats come the next election, maybe they will do more bold things. but then

again, it is keir starmer at the top, and he doesn't strike me as a bold man either. so i think we wait and see. winston should we look at the front page of the times? >> and this is about protection for teachers. free speech on religion. >> yeah. so it's talking about teachers giving protection from claims of blasphemy from religious groups under proposals set out by the government , there set out by the government, there was a report by lord walney, essentially what it's saying is there's been, protests . there's there's been, protests. there's been clashes in schools where there was one up in west yorkshire where a damaged , copy yorkshire where a damaged, copy of the quran was recorded as a hate incident . and then up here hate incident. and then up here in where are we here, up in birmingham. there was a, protest against lgbt teaching and certain groups saying that it was not age appropriate and that basically they shouldn't have been teaching it. and one of the teachers is actually still in hiding as a as a result of it, it's been welcomed by the likes of, suella braverman, and other

mps that the challenge i have with it is that, yeah, definitely 100% teachers should be protected. they don't get paid, really. they are paid well. they're doing a really difficult job in difficult circumstances . but then it's a circumstances. but then it's a case of if we bring in these, these measures. now, what's to say that another teacher with a different point of view will then, you know, influence children in a different way ? children in a different way? that would outrage the general population. and it's like , so population. and it's like, so it's like it's going back to the last story about the capping. it's like, how much control can we actually put in place no matter where, no matter where it is. and i feel, you know, with with children, we spoke earlier. it's so important to protect them. but how do we do that in a way that we don't expose them to other risks ? other risks? >> cindy yu what do you make of it? >> yeah, i think the way i understand the story is just protecting these teachers who do try to kind of teach things about sensitive issues. and, you know, when we talk about groups that are offended, there is one group that keeps getting

offended, you know, muslims in this country, some some muslims, we should say, who are unable to accept cartoons of the prophet muhammad , for example. and that muhammad, for example. and that is what the teacher in batley did wrong , that he showed did wrong, that he showed a picture of the prophet muhammad from the charlie hebdo attack, you know, which ended up in that terrible terrorist attack on those newspaper headquarters , those newspaper headquarters, and the fact that he showed this cartoon, i, you know, the people don't see the irony in this that he is now in hiding with his wife and four young children still in hiding in this country , still in hiding in this country, not for committing a crime, but for showing a cartoon in a religious studies. >> it seems to me at the moment we've got to the point in our society where if you say or do anything, you will always outrageously offend somebody. yeah, it's true that there's a pocket of people in our communities now who just are determined to be offended all the time, and that's part of the, you know, the rubbing along of society that we have to be sensitive and civil to other people, and they're what's important to them. >> i was talking to my brother,

who's a teenager, who's 19, >> i was talking to my brother, who's a teenager, who's19, and i was saying, you know, what do you think about the israel gaza thing? and he actually said, i am afraid to give my opinion on it . i don't talk about it with it. i don't talk about it with my friends because i just don't want to offend anyone. and i think we are training a generation of people who are just holding these things in, not because they don't have opinions or thoughtful things to say, but because they're afraid of offending someone. so i think that's what we've got to be careful of, that people taking offence at everything. but that's a problem on the left and the right. you know, i think i think everyone is guilty of this. >> and it's so difficult for teachers in our schools. i think because they have to navigate all these cultural and social well. it's a minefield, isn't it? >> it's everything. there's so many labels and boxes and you're this and you're that and you're this and you're that and you're this and you're that and you're this and we're this and they're that. and it's like, there's no there is literally none of there is no togetherness. and that i feel is just a huge problem in the whole of this country that you've got. oh, i'm working class, i'm middle class, i'm upper class. you know , you've upper class. you know, you've got whole class division. you know, i've got a racial division, i've got a religious division, i've got a religious division, i've got a religious division, i've got a sexual division, i've got a sexual division with so many divisions ,

division with so many divisions, we can't be held together as one. and that is stopping us as a country moving forward. >> there's an increasing sense of hostility all the time . i of hostility all the time. i don't understand why we can't promote kindness a bit more . promote kindness a bit more. we'd just be kind to each other. it would help. i'd be lovely. talking of gaza, cindy. yeah, this terrible revelation about the bodies of the three hostages who have now been recovered . who have now been recovered. they were they were three of the people who were attacked on october the 7th. >> yeah, absolutely. and all three of them are suspected to have died on that day. so actually, you know, not taken as live hostages and shiny. look, look, of course, it's the most famous one. her distorted body in that horrible social media video. clearly having suffered severe sexual violence, let's say , and the her family is say, and the her family is basically saying we are glad that she's back, that we have somewhere to rest her, the other two hostages, they i think their families didn't know that they were dead. and now they do. and that leaves, you know , over 100 that leaves, you know, over 100 more hostages in gaza. still, with their fate unknown.

>> what do we know of how long has israel or the idf known about? how long have they had these three bodies? i mean, is this news that's just come out or have they chosen to release the news now or what? >> i think the bodies have just been repatriated. and i think the part of that is through israel's gaining of territory in gaza. part of that is the writeup seems to be suggesting, is interrogations with people with hamas forces that they have captured, i dread to think what those interrogations might be like, but which gave them information about the tunnels in which these three bodies were found. >> i was reading i was reading this morning in those tunnels. it is a very complicated operation. and apparently in order to repatriate those three bodies, they started that operation on tuesday . i mean, operation on tuesday. i mean, we're hearing about it today, what we on saturday. so it must have been very complicated. >> it's obviously devastating news. and but you know, for the families , you do wonder if it's families, you do wonder if it's not better to know for sure rather than to have this huge question mark because, well, certainly in charney's case, they knew that she was dead on they knew that she was dead on the day, didn't they? absolutely but but so, so many more

hostages. families will never know what's happened to their loved ones. because actually, you know, i don't think israel is prioritising getting back the hostages in their military operation. that's not the priority. the priority seems to be well, that's why i wondered about the timing of the release of this news, is whether somebody in israel has thought, right, it's about time we reminded the world, and certainly our opposition that that all of this started on october the 7th with this atrocity, winston, what do you make of it? >> do you know what it's like ? >> do you know what it's like? what, cindy was saying about her brother? it's so, so, like, it's tragic, you know, seeing seeing the images , seeing the stories the images, seeing the stories that you're hearing on a daily bafis. that you're hearing on a daily basis . and you're so scared to basis. and you're so scared to have an opinion on any of it because i'm just like, it's the whole thing. just awful. and you, you sit there and you just like i said, you see these images, you see the stories, and the human suffering. and this is it. i just again, i go back and it. ijust again, i go back and i think about the kids and i think about the innocent people

that are involved that are suffering untold , harm and, and, suffering untold, harm and, and, you know, suffering because of something. they have nothing really to do with, you know, the powers that be that are. >> you think how awful it must be to be a child in gaza at the moment. what life chances do you have? it's terrible. can we speed ahead to rishi? yes, to rishi and his wife . akshata. rishi and his wife. akshata. yeah. because their wealth has now soared . and they're richer now soared. and they're richer than the king. >> yeah, they're richer than the king. but actually. >> yeah, they're richer than the king. but actually . and they king. but actually. and they were richer than the king in 2022. two. so 2023 was a bad year for them. but fortunately everything's gone. got better now. so, yes, they've got £651 million of combined wealth and that mainly comes down to rishi sunaks wife's dividends in her father's, it company, which have. so she's got a 50. so the company itself is worth £55 billion, and she's got a huge

stake in that. and of course, this is politically sensitive for them, isn't it? i mean, i used to like to say that the country, the brits don't aren't a jealous people . you know, we a jealous people. you know, we don't care if people are more rich than us telling us what to do. i mean, frankly, that's always kind of been the case. >> but this takes the biscuit. but this really takes the biscuit because i think rishi sunakisnt biscuit because i think rishi sunak isn't playing the good pr game here. >> he's out there wearing suits that are costing £3,000. he's out there wearing loafers that cost hundreds of thousands of pounds. >> he's having a helicopter ride. >> we're running out of time . >> we're running out of time. >> we're running out of time. >> i'm so sorry. >> i'm so sorry. >> i could go on about this break. >> we'll come back to it. this is alex deakin now with your weather. thanks. you >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar , the sponsors of weather solar, the sponsors of weather on . gb news. on. gb news. >> good morning. welcome to your latest weather update from the met office here on gb news. a bit of a murky start to the weekend for many of us, but most of us will see some warm spells of us will see some warm spells of sunshine. today. are going to be a few heavy showers around later on, a bit damp and drizzly

in parts of the south coast and say some mist and fog around in places to parts of the coast of the northeast, sticking with that ha throughout, but most areas brightening up good spells of sunshine, and then later on, the likelihood of some scattered but quite heavy showers over parts of south wales and southwest england in the sunny. spells 20 degrees 21, 22, maybe 23. in a few spots it will be cooler on some north sea coast, particularly in the far north—east where that mist and low cloud sticks around. and there's the threat of these showers turning quite heavy across devon, cornwall, somerset, parts of south wales as well, not everywhere seeing them, but where they do develop could drop quite a lot of rain in a short space of time. the shower is much more scattered further east, a few breaking out to over the hills and mountains of scotland. and there's that mist and low cloud that ha threatening to cling to parts of the coast of the east and the north of scotland, suppressing the temperatures. but in the sunny spells in the west of scotland, in the south, temperatures again getting over 20 c. as for this evening, well, still a few heavy showers around

across the southwest, so bear that in mind for most of us, though, are a pretty pleasant summer's evening. if you will. the mist and low cloud likely to thicken up and just drift back inland and over parts of eastern england. so again, making for a fairly murky, misty start for many of to us tomorrow morning. temperatures holding up in double digits in most towns and cities onto sunday. and again, for the vast majority, it's looking like a fine bright day, starting grey and murky and misty . but starting grey and murky and misty. but that starting grey and murky and misty . but that mist and starting grey and murky and misty. but that mist and low cloud should disappear. still, 1 or 2 showers across southwest england and again over the mountains of scotland. the mist and low cloud will again cling to some eastern coasts, but for the vast majority again dry, brightening up sunny spells, developing and feeling warm in that sunshine as well. goodbye

manchester city are expected to claim a fourth successive league title . title. >> a bit of a grey start in places this morning. some mist and low cloud around, but that should clear most of us brightening up and warming up. just watch out for 1 or 2 heavy showers across parts of the south. join me later for a full weekend forecast . weekend forecast. >> a very good morning to you. i'm ellie costello and i'm anne diamond and this is breakfast on gb news . gb news. so people are very happy to see you back an that's nice , which is lovely. monkey nice, which is lovely. monkey harris has been in touch saying to good see you back, anne. you're a diamond. >> true. do you get that a lot? >> true. do you get that a lot? >> a lot, yeah. >> a lot, yeah. >> does it get annoying or do you love it? >> when i first started out in telly, people just thought it was a stage name as well. >> it's the best name ever. >> it's the best name ever. >> it's the best name ever. >> it's a great name. >> it's a great name. >> i'd marry you just for the surname. >> absolutely. well. and that's why when i got married, i didn't give it up.

>> you couldn't. >> you couldn't. >> and all my sons and my sons are diamonds. yeah, all of them are diamonds. yeah, all of them are diamonds. yeah, all of them are diamonds. yeah. so lucky boys. >> yeah. you know, it's the best name ever. >> and i had i had a message as well, because i mentioned about the fact that i'd been off was a lot to do with stonkingly high blood pressure , and while that blood pressure, and while that wasn't the whole problem and i still yet to get a proper diagnosis as to what was going on, it was an enormous part of the problem, and i didn't realise that i had such incredibly high blood pressure when the paramedics saw it, they sort of went white. oh, and said, well , sort of went white. oh, and said, well, you're sort of went white. oh, and said, well , you're off to said, well, you're off to hospital. and that was that. and it just made me think, because wherever you go nowadays in the doctor's surgery or in a, in a pharmacy, there's always a nofice pharmacy, there's always a notice up about it doesn't matter how young you think you are, you ought to take your blood pressure. it's an easy thing to do. and all the rest of it, and it's clearly an enormous thing. blood pressure. have you ever had your blood pressure taken? >> i haven't, and maybe i should i >> -- >> well, you're not you're not really old enough to worry, but

it's just it's interesting , so it's just it's interesting, so and so in the end, you buy your own blood pressure kit for home. >> well, do you have one for at home? >> oh, yeah. no, they're really good. they're just the cuff basically. and a little thing, and you take it and, and you can keep an eye on it that way. and i just think that maybe there is a lot more, sort of campaigning to be done because that's on you. well, maybe it is . i mean, you. well, maybe it is. i mean, i don't know enough about it, and that clearly got to fight. i i've done like a crash course in the last month, but high blood pressure is a real problem. i probably low blood pressure is as well. but your blood pressure is massively important, and the younger you are keeping an eye on it, the less likely you are to have any big problems later in life. and obviously it impacts absolutely everything the heart is up to and things like that from , from stroke like that from, from stroke right through to heart disease or anything. so maybe we should all be a little bit more blood pressure aware . pressure aware. >> pressure aware. >> well, it's a very important message, i think, to be aware of your blood pressure. and i'm so glad they got a handle of it. yes. it for down you. and i'm so

glad you're here with us and feeling a lot better. yeah and i've just had some lovely views which i'm going to try and find now. barbara, what a lovely surprise. anne diamond. you have been much missed. welcome back. oh thank you. mark says. good morning. so lovely to see ann return. >> and john says, glad to hear they caught your blood pressure in time. ann last year i went to the doctors and they took my blood pressure whilst i was there and it was sky high, but i'd felt all right. there and it was sky high, but i'd felt all right . and then i'd felt all right. and then they put a 24 hour monitor on to me, which i now have blood pressure medication too. so it is a silent killer. i've now bought my own blood pressure monitor . you bought my own blood pressure monitor. you can get them in your local supermarket. they're only about £3,540, and it's quite funny because some of my grandchildren pretend they're doctors and nurses putting it on my arm . oh, so there you are. my arm. oh, so there you are. you've got you've got the awareness going on at home, even for the little ones. so it just shows it's important . shows it's important. >> yeah. so lots of people got a blood pressure story. >> let me know. get in touch. >> let me know. get in touch. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> gbnews.com/yoursay say yes. please do get in touch with us and should we go to our top

story? >> yeah. there's a big view here. >> well how about this then john says hi anna. nellie. perhaps we should consider a national project to build ten millennial cities , possibly under the aegis cities, possibly under the aegis of our king as his majesty's interest in architecture is well known, initiated by an act of parliament. any objections after sitting decisions could be forbidden. you could put one in scotland, one in northern ireland, one in wales, seven in england. built to state of the art parameters, this could be an excellent way to incentivise, incentivise growth and, of course provide housing. i like the sound of that , but would the sound of that, but would anyone be brave enough to actually get it to do it? >> exactly . that's the point. >> exactly. that's the point. >> exactly. that's the point. >> you're making a lot of money, but provide a lot of houses and work and jobs and things like that. >> i'm sure many people would welcome it. let us know what you think. >> 7:05 a secondary school maths teacher is facing a lengthy jail term after she was convicted of having sex with two of the students that she brought home

to her salford quays flat. >> well, that's as 30 year old rebecca jones also gave birth to one of the boys babies earlier this year . this year. >> the boys in question were 15 and 16 years old. >> well, joining us now, former detective chief inspector mike neville. and a very good morning to you. thanks for joining neville. and a very good morning to you. thanks forjoining us. to you. thanks for joining us. it's a shocking story. this but we were we were sort of quite bowled over, by the way . it's bowled over, by the way. it's being reported rather more sympathetically because she's a woman. if she was a man, we would be glad to see her locked up in jail, wouldn't we? >> well, that's right. i mean, the prosecution barrister made the prosecution barrister made the point that, if the teacher was called roger and not, rebecca, then it would be treated in a far different way , treated in a far different way, people tend to sort of see this in some that the boys have had some kind of, good time or something where they are the victims of sexual assault. and so she'll face a lengthy prison sentence, it would seem. >> do you think prison is the right place for her?

>> well, it's a delicate balance, isn't it? because you have, she has a young child, but that would seem to be in care by the sounds of the reporting of this, but the facts are she doesn't go to prison. what kind of message does it send out? because any man who did this would, of course, be jailed for 5 to 10 years. >> yeah, it does seem, extraordinary that we're sort of questioning whether or not she should be in prison where we wouldn't if she were a man. >> however, is it the right place for her? will she? i mean , place for her? will she? i mean, when you read up the story, you just can't help but feel that she's sick. will she get the right sort of rehabilitative care? >> well, i think sometimes we forget that prison is about punishment. and she's committed sexual offences against the two underage children. so one, there's the issue of punishment and secondly, is she is she ill? what is the issues here that thatis what is the issues here that that is something that the, psychologists and psychiatric people in prison can figure out. but i think there must be some

kind of prison time because otherwise it just sends out a bad message to other teachers. >> mike, have you been surprised by the discourse surrounding this story, or is it not something that that shocks you? because, i mean, even looking at the paper in front of me, it's been described as a story of seduction. and then we've had some views in this morning saying, this is every teenage boy's dream. >> well, i suppose that's how it's going to be reported. and that's how people will see it, is that people see if men do it. this is some kind of a predatory thing . whereas the woman thing. whereas the woman teachers involved in all this, andifs teachers involved in all this, and it's seen as some kind of, as you say, some sort of, teenage boys fantasy . but the teenage boys fantasy. but the reality is this it involves a sexual crime against minors and has got to be dealt with as such i >> -- >> yes. i mean, and what whatever happened will always be there and affect those boys lives , and in particular, the lives, and in particular, the child that has resulted as well, i mean, it it's not just, you

know, it's not just a silly thing that happened. it's something that really affects lives and will be there forever . lives and will be there forever. >> that's right. you know, like, as you say, you've got there's three children involved in this. the two boys assaulted and then the and then the baby that's been born. and how is that? how would you live your life when you know the circumstances of your birth? and then there's the responsibility. you've got a young lad here at only 16, 17 who suddenly thrust into fatherhood. so it's a complete mess. and i think just by calling it a silly thing, it's not a silly thing. it's a criminal act. >> yeah, some people have had some very strange responses which trivialise what is not a trivial matter, in your experience , audience. because experience, audience. because again, this is being reported in various different ways. in your experience, will that baby spend time in jail with mum or is the any judge, any family judge more likely to leave the baby where it is now, which is apparently in the home of the father with the father's family ?

the father's family? >> i think they'll probably leave it with the, the parents, the grandparents. that's the secure place for it to be a poor little thing. and also some visits to the mother in prison. obviously, the child has got to know its mother, but the secure place would be with the grandparents. >> okay. former detective chief inspector mike neville. good to see you this morning. thank you very much indeed. thank you, thank you. >> yes, extraordinary. but keep your comments coming in wild, though some of them are . well, though some of them are. well, yes, but it's not a trivial matter at all. and i think you have to keep reminding yourself that if she were a fella , she that if she were a fella, she would just be saying, yeah, throw in jail and lock away the key . throw away the key. key. throw away the key. >> but we were really struck by the coverage. i mean, even just looking at this newspaper in front of me. now, rebecca jones was a champion gymnast. she won a national competition. she was a national competition. she was a cheerleader at university . i a cheerleader at university. i mean, a beautiful pictures of her. you wouldn't see this if it was the other way around. >> no. and funnily enough, as well, you look at, front page of the daily mail is a picture of her, which i have to say is a

sympathetic picture of her looking worried . looking worried. >> yeah, well, it is, it is very sympathetic that the media coverage and i'm struck by that and also by people's commentary on social media saying that you know, they'd love to be a teenage boy in that position. and things like that. >> that's a terrible thing to say. >> do let us know what you think. gbnews.com/yoursay. >> now, i wonder where you live. >> now, i wonder where you live. >> do you rent? can you afford to buy? or do you think like one of my sons was moaning at me last night, he doesn't think he'll ever get the chance to do either properly , because it's either properly, because it's interesting that labour are reportedly looking to introduce rent controls on private landlords if they win power. of course, at the next election, the shadow chancellor rachel reeves, is known to be a fan of the idea. >> well , it the idea. >> well, it would the idea. >> well , it would allow councils >> well, it would allow councils to prevent landlords raising rents above a set amount every yean rents above a set amount every year, but trials in scotland found it reduce the supply of housing and forced up new rents . housing and forced up new rents. >> well, joining us now is former conservative adviser claire pearsall and of course

friend of this programme. a very good morning to you, clare , good morning to you, clare, yeah. what do we know? i mean, do we really think that labour is interested in maybe bringing in this sort of form of rent control? and as we were saying earlier, why is this the only thing they're saying about housing? yeah. >> well, i mean, that's the really interesting thing we've just seen keir starmer's pledge card, announced this week , and card, announced this week, and housing didn't make an appearance on it, but also worthy of note is the fact that the shadow housing secretary, lisa nandy, only last year, said that rent controls weren't going to work and it would almost certainly leave some people homeless. so we've been around this block with labour before. they can't quite make their minds up as to which policy they would like, and this was only in june last year that lisa nandy said no, this isn't going to work . so i wouldn't think that work. so i wouldn't think that this is going to hold out for much longer. there is an awful lot of opposition to rent controls. it doesn't solve the ultimate problem, which is there

is a lack of supply within the united kingdom. you don't need the rent controls, you actually need to sort out the supply side , and the rents will naturally fall into line . fall into line. >> remained popular, haven't they, with labour grandees . and they, with labour grandees. and they're also popular with the regional mayors in some areas. >> yes they are. we had sadiq khan and andy burnham both calling for rent freezes, but you only have to look at other places across the world, nearest to us is probably berlin. when in 2020, there was a five year rent freeze, on all rents and within a year, 35% of those properties had been lost. so if you get that kind of reduction in the supply , then it is not in the supply, then it is not going to solve the problem that you wish it to have. similar things have happened in the netherlands and also in america, where rent control is very large. san francisco having an enormous housing crisis. so it certainly isn't the magic silver bullet that labour would like it to be.

>> no. >> no. >> and we were also wondering when keir starmer came out with his pledges, why housing didn't seem to feature at all, when it's obviously such a big problem . problem. >> it's an enormous problem, and it's one that both the conservative party and the labour party are struggling with. >> they make noises about building more homes, they make noises about, planning controls and what they would do to reform them. but nobody seemingly has them. but nobody seemingly has the guts to actually go out there and do it. and as you say, we need a major house building programme. i look at my son, who is only 15, and his chances of getting a property are remote, to say the least. so until we change our attitude into house building and look at the kind of properties that we actually need, and not just put up great big mansions, but 2 or 3 bedroom properties with a small garden somewhere for families , but also somewhere for families, but also places to downsize to so that you can release up the larger properties from older people who perhaps just want a bungalow. we

don't build those anymore, and it's a real shame. >> okay, claire pearsall, good to see you this morning . thank to see you this morning. thank you very much indeed. >> right. time is 715. now the bodies of three people kidnapped by hamas from a music festival on october the 7th have been found in gaza. >> yes. the israeli defence force confirmed that the three bodies were discovered overnight from intelligence gained by interviewing captured hamas fighters. >> among the three hostages, 22 year old shani luke, who is twisted remains were photographed. if you remember, on the back of a pickup truck. >> well, israel thinks about 100 hostages may still be alive while another 30 are thought to be dead. >> we're now joined by defence editor at the evening standard, robert fox . good morning. robert fox. good morning. robert. what do we know about . robert. what do we know about. they've now found these three bodies through intelligence , by bodies through intelligence, by the sound of it, more than just through their normal, action within gaza. >> yes. it was, as you say,

through, questioning , the, through, questioning, the, prisoners that they had captured. it is a very peculiar story because, as we know, that bodies of victims of the nova, concert were taken back into gaza, even though it seems that they were, that they were dying or dead, which is the gruesome aspect to this. but it also underlines the fact that that the fate of some 40 of the hostages was just simply not known, for months , this, of known, for months, this, of course, will, aggravate the, the tensions between the families of the hostages and the israeli prime minister and his government and it's a real point of argument now , as the of argument now, as the controversies about the israeli military operation continue,

what do we know about the idf's operation? >> in order to get these three bodies out of that tunnel ? did bodies out of that tunnel? did they know that they were going in to retrieve bodies , or were in to retrieve bodies, or were they hoping to find hostages alive ? alive? >> i think the latter very much, that's what they, they're really hoping for, is that they got to get, hostages back alive because . i'm sorry. forgive my the frog in my throat, which has been bouncing around there for a long time, but , bouncing around there for a long time, but, what bouncing around there for a long time, but , what they what the time, but, what they what the israelis had realised , was that israelis had realised, was that they had to do, probing reconnaissance operations to find, the hostages , as we know find, the hostages, as we know that the intelligence has been pretty good in that they've known the whereabouts of quite a number of them. but as i said that it was always around 40, andifs that it was always around 40, and it's now around 30 that they don't know where they are . and don't know where they are. and sadly, they don't seem to know whether they're alive at all. so

the figure is coming down as you rightly announced, they thought there were about 132, hostages still there. they're now saying about 100. and meanwhile, the military operation gets in a way ever more complex because in recent weeks, we've been focusing on getting into rafah in the south, up against the egyptian border, where they think the mass of and it's several thousand quite a number of hamas fighters are including very possibly sinwar the leadership. but then they've had to go back into the north again, where that the hamas has started fighting it again. so it's a very elusive, very fluid guerilla force that that they're fighting. and there has been a terrific destruction in jabalia, which had been really badly hit. that's right in the north of the strip. and, i've just been

looking at pictures of it just again. and it's all but devastated. there's almost nothing standing there in parts of jabalia. and i think that this will go on for quite some time. >> yes, it does seem seem to be that way, doesn't it? we'll leave it there for the moment. robert, good to talk to you. thanks very much indeed. thank you, thank you, thank you. >> should we have a look at the weather now with alex deakin? >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> good morning. welcome to your latest weather update from the met office here on gb news. bit of a murky start to the weekend for many of us, but most of us will see some warm spells of sunshine today . we are going to sunshine today. we are going to be a few heavy showers around later on. a bit damp and drizzly in parts of the south coast and say some mist and fog around in places to parts of the coast of the northeast. sticking with that ha throughout. but most

areas brightening up good spells of sunshine and then later on, the likelihood of some scattered but quite heavy showers over parts of south wales and southwest england in the sunny spells 20 degrees 21, 22, maybe 23. in a few spots it will be cooler on some north sea coast, particularly in the far north—east where that mist and low cloud sticks around. and there's the threat of these showers turning quite heavy across devon, cornwall , across devon, cornwall, somerset, parts of south wales as well, not everywhere. seeing them, but where they do develop could drop quite a lot of rain in a short space of time. the shower is much more scattered further east, a few breaking out to over the hills and mountains of scotland. and there's that mist and low cloud that ha threatening to cling to parts of the coast of the east and the north of scotland, suppressing the temperatures. but in the sunny spells in the west of scotland, in the south, temperatures again getting over 20 c. as for this evening, well, still a few heavy showers around across the southwest, so bear that in mind. for most of us, though, are pretty pleasant summers evening, if you will, the mist and low cloud likely to thicken up and just drift back

inland over parts of eastern england . so again making for a england. so again making for a fairly murky, misty start for many of us to tomorrow morning. temperatures holding up in double digits in most towns and cities on to sunday and again for the vast majority, it's looking like a fine bright day, starting grey and murky and misty. but that mist and low cloud should disappear. still 1 or 2 showers across southwest england and again over the mountains of scotland. the mist and low cloud will again cling to some eastern coasts, but for the vast majority again dry, brightening up sunny spells developing and feeling warm in that sunshine as well. goodbye >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on . gb news. on. gb news. >> now it's time for the great british giveaway. your chance to win 20 grand in cash in time for the summer . win 20 grand in cash in time for the summer. what win 20 grand in cash in time for the summer . what will you spend the summer. what will you spend it on? oh, it would just be nice thinking about it, wouldn't it? sit in the garden, have a think you'd go on a cruise holiday? a

breakfast. welcome back. thank you for all your messages about blood pressure. >> pressure. >> it's like. yes. >> it's like. yes. >> touched a nerve , actually, >> touched a nerve, actually, because basically, i've been away with a condition that was very much found out by stonkingly high blood pressure. if i told you the figures, you'd say you should be dead. oh, that's more or less what the paramedics said. >> don't say that out loud. but it was ridiculous . it was ridiculous. >> ridiculously high. and yet i. i didn't feel that it was .

i didn't feel that it was. >> how scary. >> how scary. >> as usual, it was scary, especially when the paramedics sort of went white when they took my blood pressure , and then took my blood pressure, and then they hung on for a bit and then tookit they hung on for a bit and then took it again and it was still high. and they said, no, you are going to hospital. and i said, i was easter saturday, so i don't want to go to hospital on easter saturday. and they said, you're going to hospital. we wouldn't be doing our job. >> be doing ourjob. >> i don't have a choice. i didn't, you know, no choice. >> but i've already been inundated with your stories. thank you very much. on a very similar things , where they were similar things, where they were told in the end, because usually you'd gone in to, i don't know, the pharmacist or something else for a different reason. and they took your blood pressure and found it was ridiculously high and then found that , you know, and then found that, you know, they needed to be on medication to bring it down. people live with high blood pressure without knowing it because they used to. the feeling , but it can really, the feeling, but it can really, really serious affect you badly , really serious affect you badly, particularly later in life. your heart can be affected. one lady saying her kidney was affected very badly, another lady said she had stonkingly high blood

pressure. so much so that her gp was really shocked and said will you come back tomorrow ? and i you come back tomorrow? and i think we need to organise a few things. and she went back the next day and found that she'd got stage four cancer, so it can it's clearly something that needs talking about more actually, the way we all need to keep an eye on our blood pressure. >> pressure. >> yeah. and it's really important that on i don't know very much about it at all myself. >> and it's not my complete diagnosis, but it was certainly something that led the paramedics to take me into hospital. so yeah, keep your stories coming too in and check your blood pressure and get it checked. you can get it checked for free in most pharmacists now, and your gps usually most gp's waiting room have a little thing or you can just go and buy yourself your own monitor as well, which you said was quite reasonable as well. in the supermarket, yes, they're not hugely costly and they're okay. they'll, they'll show you whether or not you've got very i mean one person said they're not as accurate as they should be. they don't have to be dead accurate. they just show you your trend really, whether you've got particularly high

blood pressure. and then you go to a doctor . yeah. to a doctor. yeah. >> well it's an important message. >> and do keep your views coming in on that one. gb news .com/ your say now it's just coming up to 730. >> and students right across the country are participating in pro—palestine protests today in opposition to the israel gaza war. and many students participating have gone as far as to camp outside university buildings , causing disruption to buildings, causing disruption to lectures and seminars. so as we head into the weekend, more protests are expected. today and tomorrow. but how effective really are they? >> well, that's the question we're asking this morning. and joining us now is the organiser for the living freedom initiative, alistair donald, and broadcaster and commentator khadua broadcaster and commentator khadija khan. really good to see you both this morning khadija. we'll start with you. shall we? how effective do you think these protests are , i'm an ardent protests are, i'm an ardent advocate for free speech, and i believe that, banning , believe that, banning, legitimate forms of protest is a cornerstone of authoritarian

states. and people should be to free manifest their expression in opposition to their strongly held opinions. it should not be an argument to restrict the right to protest. it's certain , right to protest. it's certain, criminal and nefarious elements. they exploit it to advance their own agendas. but the question is of to what do with those nefarious elements who have brazenly hijacked these pro—palestine marches and the protests we see in at uni campuses and, you know, on, on the streets of london. i mean, we can clearly see they actually most of them have no clue about it. the historical, you know, conflict in the middle east, what they are doing is to , just what they are doing is to, just parroting some narrative that have been fed to them and they are clearly have no clue about what's going on in gaza, what are the historical dominator and

denominators and how, people can just, demand a ceasefire? i mean, saying that an immediate ceasefire to the resolve this conflict is, is such a naive way to look at this conflict , in my opinion. >> well, that's the basis of our question today. alistair, let me put this to you. is, is that, clearly a lot of people believe we as a country believe in free speech, freedom of speech, and a lot of the people who do take part in these protests vehemently believe in, in what they are doing. but are they actually getting anywhere? are they achieving anything? do we really take notice of protest marches ? marches? >> well, i think that really depends on what it is that you think they're trying to achieve. so the interesting thing i think about the protests the last few weeks has been the way that they've been compared to protests in the late 60s, because that's when lots of us

recognise the anti—vietnam war protests, for example. and this is especially the case at columbia university in america , columbia university in america, which had a very specific role in those protests . and it just in those protests. and it just seems to me that what they're trying to achieve is radically different to what they were trying to achieve in the 1960s. so the anti—vietnam war protests , for example, were a protest against a the world's foremost military power at home. that was the point of them. they opposed american intervention into vietnam. if you look at the protests today, then it seems to me that they've got an altogether different aim . for altogether different aim. for example, they're not, primarily against america or the uk, they're against israel. and that has the unfortunate consequence of spilling into opposition to jews as well as the israeli state in some situations, by no means all, but i think most importantly, lots of the protests in universities seem to me to be not really protests of

opposition, in many ways, but quite conformist protests, and they conform to lots of what universities and other institutions in this country already think just now, i.e. they're most many universities see themselves as social justice institutions . they see institutions. they see themselves as, institutions that are there to protect, minority groups and so lots of the student protests, especially , student protests, especially, are conforming to, a viewpoint that already exists quite widely in society today . so they're not in society today. so they're not really oppositional in the sense that the 1960s protests were and therefore they're not really, in that sense, trying to foster radical social change. >> khadijah, what do you make of that , i, >> khadijah, what do you make of that, i, i agree with >> khadijah, what do you make of that , i, i agree with alissa >> khadijah, what do you make of that, i, i agree with alissa . i that, i, i agree with alissa. i mean, these, students who have been protesting , for the been protesting, for the palestinian cause, as i said, they have no clue about the historical facts, you can ask

about. what are you being chanting? i mean , where is the chanting? i mean, where is the river? where is the sea? they have no clue about it. and recently we just, watched a program on gb news when suella braverman she was, trying to have a conversation with these students and these students. they gave a silent treatment. i mean, it was not something brave to do. i mean, if they have any, you know, reasoning or logic behind their old protests, they would be able to, you know, have a decent conversation and persuade people , you know, to, persuade people, you know, to, to be a part of that protest . to be a part of that protest. but in reality, they are just parroting a narrative that have been fed to them. they are apparently they are brainwashed into just asserting, you know, their own opinions. they have. if you talk about speaking for minority , i don't agree with minority, i don't agree with that because they are not speaking for the palestinian people, what they are doing,

they are protecting hamas from criticism. every single person who is trying to criticise hamas is not welcome at those protests. it's very much clear to us. so these people are very much vocal and very much assertive in their opinions when it comes to protecting hamas from criticism. so in my opinion, those people who are trying to, protect hamas or trying to, protect hamas or trying to, protect hamas or trying to portray them as resistance , they are not resistance, they are not speaking for innocent palestinian people who are dying , you know, in this conflict, these people , they are just these people, they are just having their they may have their own agendas , you know, to own agendas, you know, to advance, but but this has nothing to do with minorities, in my view. they're trying to be revolutionary, as as as some fashion trend. i mean, they're trying to adopt it as some fashion trend and wearing keffiyeh and, you know, chanting against against israel has become some sort of, you know, a

modern fashion trend. that's that's all i can see when they, they, they say these kind of things , you know, at these things, you know, at these protests. indeed. >> one thing's for sure is that there will be more today, won't there? we'll have to leave it there? we'll have to leave it there for the moment, though. big subject, isn't it, alistair, donald and khadija khan, thank you very much indeed. >> yes, thank you very much indeed. let us know what you think on that one. do stay with us. aiden is going to be here in just a tick

next. welcome back. you're watching and listening to breakfast with ali and an. >> yes. >> yes. >> and aidan is here, jurgen klopp, tell me about jurgen klopp. >> jurgen klopp klopp. . >> jurgen klopp |s klopp. >> jurgen klopp is saying goodbye to his to the premier league.i goodbye to his to the premier league. i think tomorrow going there. how's it going. >> it means he's available for you. >> we don't know. i don't believe we've seen the last of him in football. i think he just needs a break, to be honest with you, because he's been nine years in the job at a top six

club. that's a long time for anybody . more or less. anybody. more or less. >> what he said, isn't it? he's the one that said, i don't feel i can give it my all at the moment. that's right. >> he also said i haven't lived a normal life for a long time. i mean, i have news for him. >> he sounds nice. >> he sounds nice. >> he sounds nice. >> he does, doesn't he? yes, yes. very nice. >> this is 60. he's 56, isn't he 56? >> yeah. we've checked out his credentials for you. >> credentials? yeah, exactly. >> credentials? yeah, exactly. >> so i'm old enough to be his mother, but never mind. >> oh, no you're not. >>— >> oh, no you're not. >> no. we're near. so, look, life is probably never going to be the same for him again. because even whether he's managing liverpool or not, wherever he goes in the world, he's instantly recognisable internationally and so he probably isn't going to live the normal life that he wants . he's normal life that he wants. he's a huge personality, he's very likeable as well for the most part, although he is known to lose his temper from time to time. however tomorrow they face wolverhampton wanderers at home at 4:00. there's going to be an emotional goodbye. it's not been a great send off for him in the last few months because i actually said on this table back in back in january, february, i think it was when january actually , when he said he was actually, when he said he was going to retire, i thought it might have an impact on liverpool's title credentials because i thought the players

just intrinsically might just take their foot off the gas. >> and do you think they have just that much? >> and when the when the title race is so finely tuned now and it's gone down to the final day tomorrow with arsenal, manchester city, there is not much room, not much margin for error and they've just fallen short, especially in the last six weeks or so. having won the carabao cup in february , i carabao cup in february, i remember alex ferguson doing the same thing back in february of 20 of 2002. i felt that his announcement that he was going to retire, he subsequently didn't. all he wanted was a new contract effectively handed the title to arsenal that season. in 2002 and 22 years later, i thought, we've seen we've seen a repeat of that history. nonetheless, it's about tomorrow. it's about the fact that arne slot has has announced that arne slot has has announced that he's in a press conference yesterday in holland, his manager, a fan at the moment, he's going to be taking over. so we're going to see an ushering in of the new. i'd be surprised if jurgen klopp didn't say to the anfield crowd tomorrow, much the anfield crowd tomorrow, much the same way as alex ferguson did when he left in 2013. let's get behind the new manager. let's try and ensure that it's going to be as smooth a takeover as we can possibly see. but

managing a top six club these daysis managing a top six club these days is tantamount to being a prime minister of a country. it's that pressurised the glare around the around the world is like something you've never seen. i mean , these guys are seen. i mean, these guys are never on social media because because of the of the flak they would get win, lose or draw. >> aiden we've got 30s. but you're going to tell us about the dust up and the desert dust and desert. >> yeah. we'll go into more detail, next hour. but yeah, we had the weigh in yesterday between alexander fury , sorry, between alexander fury, sorry, alexander fury, oleksandr usyk and tyson fury, they had a love child. it would be called. >> yeah, probably. >> yeah, probably. >> yeah. an amalgam of those two names, wouldn't it. yeah. sorry about that. so usyk coming in at 16. stone six and fury at 18 stone seven. that's the lightest few he's been in four years. that's the heaviest usyk has been at any time in his career. both unbeaten. fury has one draw against his name, something you would think has to give tonight. fury protecting that gash above the eye which has healed up, he says. but we'll see when he takes into the ring tonight, ellie, how he's going to, what his stance is going to be like if he's got his hand up like that, you'll know that he's trying to protect it. and that could play into his hands. but i

expect fury to take it on a split decision. >> okay, aidan, good to see you. thank you very much indeed . thank you very much indeed. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> okay. and it's time to go through all of the latest newspapers. we will do in just a couple of moments, so don't go away

i >> welcome back to breakfast. we are joined by cindy yu and winston davis. now to go through the papers. very good morning to you. >> good morning . >> good morning. >> good morning. >> good morning. and, >> good morning. and, winston, this is a shocking story , isn't this is a shocking story, isn't it, about a teacher, a 30 year old female teacher who has been found guilty of sleeping with two students? yes, two young boys. yeah. >> so, rebecca jones, 30 year old, up in manchester, convicted yesterday of sleeping with not just sleeping with again. so i use the word rape. but i know we talked about you can't use the word rape because it's not legal

in this country for a woman to rape a man, but she had sex with these two boys. one of them 30, 30 odd times over 18 months. and actually had a child with that boy. and she's going to prison, but they've got a young baby now that's in the care of the boy's family. and the boy , and she's family. and the boy, and she's seeing that that child or i think her girl daughter a few times a week for a few hours. so, yeah, it's a shocking story. and i think rightly, she should be in prison. i mean, she's a very , very warped here because very, very warped here because she's, the way she she told the boy about being pregnant. it was like a victoria's secret sex game . and she put these little game. and she put these little snippets or little mementos along the way, which ended up with a babygro saying, i love my daddy. with a babygro saying, i love my daddy . and i mean, that's how daddy. and i mean, that's how she told him. >> that's how. that's how she told they were pregnant. >> that's how she told him. and, you know, and the first boy, i mean, this is the thing which is crazy about this, is that the first boy she has sex with, leaves a love bite on his neck . leaves a love bite on his neck. and his mum then questions, you know, where have you been last

night? you come back with his love bite, and then the call goes into childline, right? so she's suspended from her job, and then she. she still goes after the second one and then has this baby. it's absolutely mental. and what you said that some people are saying, oh, you know, fair play to the boys. and she was doing them a service like, come on. >> literally a lot of people are getting in touch saying, these boys weren't children. they were 15 and 16. they're very mature 15 and 16. they're very mature 15 and 16 year olds nowadays. and is this really such a terrible crime? >> but here's the thing again flip it on its head. you know, if it's a 30 year old man grooming and sleeping, having sex with 15, 16 year old girls, people are going to say, yeah, string him up, cut off his, you know, whatsits and whatnot, you know? yes shocking. >> i think also the fact as well as if it wasn't bad enough is that she's a teacher and not only has she completely betrayed her profession , but but it's so her profession, but but it's so awful for other teachers . yeah. awful for other teachers. yeah. to have one of their own do

this. >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> she's in a position of trust. she's in a position of authority that the boys would have looked up to her, and. yes of course, you know, the reports say, you know, at the time, they, they kind of found it funny. but when they look back on it, you know, they look back on it, you know, they are so young, they're mentally not ready to have, you know, obviously 15, 16 year olds have romantic relationships with each other, but with a woman twice your age is she should have known better. really. i mean, she's clearly, immensely aware, though. i mean, winston was saying about how she revealed the pregnancy . you revealed the pregnancy. you know, something's not. no. >> she's weird. she's. >> she's weird. she's. >> she's weird. she's. >> she's she's unwell, and there was a campaign of seduction, wasn't it? >> it was grooming. yeah, it was grooming . grooming. >> i mean, she bought a £345 belt for one of them, you know that that's the kind of thing that's textbook grooming. really? >> how would you feel if you were the parent of one of those boys? disgusting to think that you send them off to school. yes. yeah. you send them off to school. teachers are in loco parentis. it'sjust school. teachers are in loco parentis. it's just so wrong . parentis. it's just so wrong. >> and then that child, she's got to grow up, you know, the

father. the baby's got to grow up and every time, you know the family, look at the child. as much as they're going to love, love her unconditionally, vie. they're still going to know this whole story. and like, the child actually grows up, they're going to know she's going to see this. these papers, you know, you can see the stories online going to see the stories online going to see all of this, this footage about her. and she's got to deal with that. so how is she going to deal with this in 1520 years time? >> well, the mother will probably stay in touch with the child. yeah. and will be allowed to, i imagine. i mean, listen , to, i imagine. i mean, listen, we have seen other stories that are like this down the line were actually the, the, you know, convicted paedophile or whatever gets back with the child as adults down the line. >> so, you know , not saying >> so, you know, not saying that's on the cards here, but we have seen that happen. yeah >> cindy have you been surprised by the coverage of this ? i mean, by the coverage of this? i mean, even if we look at the picture. yeah, this way, it's as anne was saying earlier, it's very sympathetic . sympathetic. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> teacher isn't it? it's not what we'd see if it was a male teacher, i don't know. >> i find that i find that counterfactual hard to say because i think so much of journalism, especially , you

journalism, especially, you know, in places like the mail, like tabloids, you know, it's about the personal details. you know, people are fascinated and disgust by these characters who would do these things. and i think they are fascinating, disgusted by women and men. but more so by women. if you think back to the lucy letby case, you know how the details of her life were totally trawl through. was that making her seem sympathetic to understand and talk to her childhood friends? or was it just to understand who these characters are a little bit more and i think it might be a bit of both. i mean, if, for example, in the write ups we know that she was in a nine year relationship, she got broken up with in her late 20s. so did she have some kind of mental breakdown that's led her to do this kind of stuff? does she think that she can never get pregnant? but what she told one of the boys, you know, we don't need to have protection because i'm not going to get pregnant anyway. because i'm infertile. well, clearly she's not. so that's what i mean. like, she's clearly mentally unwell. that's not to kind of reduce responsibility at all. but i think there is a kind of, you know, fascination with and like morbid fascination with why, why

she is the way she is because she is the way she is because she doesn't seem that repentant ehhen she doesn't seem that repentant either. if you listen to what she said in the courts, well, let us know what you think about that. >> keep your views coming in gb news .com/ your say, shall we move on to rishi? >> yeah, it's just such. it's so i always find it so fascinating when we talk about rishi sunak and his wife being so unbelievably rich, whether that is , whether that's suitable for is, whether that's suitable for a prime minister for to be ficher a prime minister for to be richer than the king or does it matter ? i don't know. what do matter? i don't know. what do you think, cindy? >> well, i think it's fine if you're not going to flaunt it. and we were talking about it briefly in the last round, but if you're going to flaunt it with your expensive suits, your expensive shoes, he even had like the smart thermos flask that was like temperature controlled, that retailed for about a few hundred pounds. or if you're going to get your helicopter rides, it does such a great, especially in this current crisis of cost of living crisis , so i think crisis, so i think theoretically, yes, it's fine to have a rich prime minister, but you've got to be really, really

sensitive about what you're doing with that, because i suppose you don't want to be seen to be out of touch. >> well, i spoke about this the other week. i think rishi is way out of touch with reality, and that's why he's struggling to connect with the people , because connect with the people, because he's so far out of touch. but here's the thing. i actually don't mind him being that rich. but you know what? if you're that rich, why don't you donate 10% of your wealth to the british public? why don't you put it into services and the british put your money where your mouth is, your money where your mouth is, your money where your mouth is, your money where your mouth is. you're obscenely rich. you're obscenely wealthy. you've got more than anyone could ever imagine in a lifetime. why don't you put your money where your mouth is? if you want to lead this country, and then you and you pull it around to the most disadvantaged people that need it into our healthcare system, our housing, our housing. and i think prince harry's put some money where his mouth is in southwest, the southwest, and he's building some homes down there. why don't you do that, rishi? rather than being a mouthpiece, would we criticise him if he did , we say, criticise him if he did, we say, well, no, i'm saying, i'm saying there might be cynics, of course, but i think a lot of people will see it the way

winston does, which is like, well, thank god, you know, you're actually you're actually proving it. instead. rishi rishi sunak has done has given £100,000 to his private school, winchester , as a donation. so winchester, as a donation. so he's clearly capable of donating. but that money is not going to the poorest. >> oh, well, cindy winston , good >> oh, well, cindy winston, good to see you both. thank you very much indeed. >> well, you could certainly build a hospital or two, couldn't he? >> yeah, i think a lot of people would ask for that. >> well, love your views on that. please get in touch right now though. what is it whether it's whether whether let's have a look. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> good morning. welcome to your latest weather update from the met office here on gb news. a bit of a murky start to the weekend for many of us, but most of us will see some warm spells of us will see some warm spells of sunshine today. we're not going to be a few heavy showers around later on. a bit damp and drizzly in parts of the south coast and say some mist and fog around in places to parts of the coast of the northeast. sticking

with that ha throughout. but most areas brightening up good spells of sunshine and then later on, the likelihood of some scattered but quite heavy showers over parts of south wales and southwest england in the sunny spells 20 degrees 21, 22, maybe 23. in a few spots it will be cooler on some north sea coast, particularly in the far north—east, where that mist and low cloud sticks around and there's the threat of these showers turning quite heavy across devon , cornwall, across devon, cornwall, somerset, parts of south wales as well. not everywhere . seeing as well. not everywhere. seeing them, but where they do develop could drop quite a lot of rain in a short space of time. the shower is much more scattered further east a few breaking out to over the hills and mountains of scotland and there's that mist and low cloud that ha threatening to cling to parts of the coast of the east and the north of scotland, suppressing the temperatures . but in the the temperatures. but in the sunny spells in the west of scotland, in the south temperatures again getting over 20 c. as for this evening, well, still a few heavy showers around across the southwest, so bear that in mind. for most of us, though, a pretty pleasant summer's evening, if you will,

the mist and low cloud likely to thicken up and just drift back inland over parts of eastern england. so again, making for a fairly murky, misty start for many of us to tomorrow morning. temperatures holding up in double digits in most towns and cities onto sunday and again for the vast majority, it's looking like a fine bright day. starting grey and murky and misty. but that mist and low cloud should disappear . that mist and low cloud should disappear. still 1 or 2 showers across southwest england and again over the mountains of scotland. the mist and low cloud will again cling to some eastern coasts, but for the vast majority again dry, brightening up sunny spells, developing and feeling warm in that sunshine as well. goodbye >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on

convicted of having sex with two of her pupils . of her pupils. >> bodies of three people who were kidnapped by hamas on october the 7th have been found by the israeli military in gaza. >> labour could introduce rent caps to prevent landlords from raising prices every year. that's only, of course, if they get into number 10. >> yes, rachel reeves, the shadow chancellor, is saying she might allow councils to introduce rent caps . the policy introduce rent caps. the policy backfired in scotland. would it work over here? with student pro—palestine protests sweeping the nation, we're asking to demonstrations like this actually work , and we're going actually work, and we're going to be heading to whitby, where our yorkshire reporter will be sampling some of the local fish and chips because it's their annual sea festival . annual sea festival. >> good morning. it's been billed as the fight of the

century will be building up to a massive showdown between tyson fury and oleksandr usyk in riyadh . we'll also be looking riyadh. we'll also be looking ahead to tomorrow's premier league final day with jurgen klopp saying his liverpool goodbyes at anfield, while manchester united bear down on a fourth successive premier league title . title. >> bit of a grey start in places this morning. some mist and low cloud around, but that should clear most of us brightening up and warming up. so watch out for 1 or 2 heavy showers across parts of the south. join me later for a full weekend forecast. >> good morning to you. i'm ellie costello and i'm anne diamond and this is breakfast on gb news . lots of you getting gb news. lots of you getting in touch this morning. we're just talking about rishi sunak, who's on the sunday times. rich list. he's actually richer than the king himself and his wife. but not richer than paul mccartney, who is a billionaire. >> is he the top of the list? yes apparently he's he's now our

first ever rock billionaire. well, good for him. which makes him richer than nearly everybody. but apparently we were. we were talking about rishi sunak and his wife being so stonkingly rich, whether or not they should actually give money to charity or build a hospital or to , but wouldn't we hospital or to, but wouldn't we criticise him for that? and a lot of people have already been in touch saying, yeah, we would, we would say he's just trying to buy votes, but, it'd be seen as bribery, wouldn't it? >> i suppose, yes. lots of you getting in touch on that. somebody said being rich is not a crime. why do we hold it against him in this country? jason gale said if we had properly elected him, we would have to be okay with his wealth. and he hasn't been elected himself, hasn't he? not personally. not by the british public, at least, barbara bradshaw says rishi is a wealthy man. we shouldn't hold it against him. but no, he probably can't relate to the local person that's sleeping on a park bench. but then could he hasn't always been rich, though, has he? >> and his parents weren't rich and they worked for the nhs.

yes. so i mean, he knows what it's like to not be rich, but he's been rich for a long time. matthew says rishi isn't obscenely rich. he's just rich . obscenely rich. he's just rich. i'm not a fan of his, but he is in touch and he does understand. and unfortunately he hasn't got the political will to do the necessary for the country, and matthew says, stop penalising people for being successful as long as they pay their tax. it's got nothing to do with anyone. what they decide to do with their money. do keep reviews coming in. >> i don't, i think it just annoys people, doesn't it? when, when, at least he at least he's never said, you know, we're all in this together or something, because when rich politicians say that, they tend to raise the hackles on the back of your neck, don't they? because they don't necessarily. >> and i had a lovely message on instagram about you. oh, saying it was so wonderful to see you back, that you're looking really well. and thank you for raising awareness of higher blood pressure, because it's so important that people are aware of that. >> and do you know, thank you. quite coincidentally, one of you

contacted me. thank you very much to point out it is world hypertension day today. yes isn't that weird, i mean, just weird that i should happen to mention it and be back on the day when actually it is a big talking point. but yeah, so the big message and some of you have beenin big message and some of you have been in touch with amazing stories where you've, you've just popped in to see the doctor and quite by accident had your blood pressure taken and it was massive and therefore hugely important to get something done about it. and not just older people in some cases quite young people. so i think it's just one of those things. you've got to be very, very aware of. >> well, we're very glad that you're feeling better. i am we're happy that you're back. thank you. and really good as well that we're talking about it as well. it's very important to get your blood pressure checked. so let that be a lesson to you today world hypertension day. >> yes yes yes. very important. >> yes yes yes. very important. >> keep your views coming in gb news .com/ your say now here's a story that's in most of the newspapers today. >> in fact leading up on the front pages of most of them

because it is so seemingly so shocking, it's a secondary school maths teacher who is facing a lengthy jail term now because she's been convicted of having sex with two of the students that she brought home to her flat in salford quays. >> well, that's as the 30 year old rebekah jones also gave birth to one of the boys babies earlier this year. the boys in question were 15 and 16 years old. >> now. earlier on, we spoke to the former detective chief inspector mike neville to sort of see this in some that the boys have had some kind of good time or something . time or something. >> so they are the victims of sexual assault and so she'll face a lengthy prison sentence. it would seem . it would seem. >> do you think prison is the right place for her? >> well, it's a delicate balance, isn't it? because you have, she has a young child, but that would seem to be in care by the sounds of the reporting of this. but the facts are she doesn't go to prison. what kind of message does it send out? because any man who did this would, of course, be jailed for

5 to 10 years. >> yeah, it does seem, extraordinaire that we're sort of questioning whether or not she should be in prison where we wouldn't if she were a man. however is it the right place for her? will she? i mean, when you read up the story, you just can't help but feel that she's sick. will she get the right sort of rehabilitative care? >> well, i think sometimes we forget that prison is about punishment. and she's committed sexual offences against the two underage children. so one, there's the issue of punishment. and secondly is she is she ill? what is the issues here that thatis what is the issues here that that is something that the psychology and psychiatric people in prison can figure out . people in prison can figure out. but i think there must be some kind of prison time because otherwise it just sends out a bad message to other teachers. mike have you been surprised by the discourse surrounding this story , or is it not something story, or is it not something that that shocks you? >> because, i mean, even looking at the paper in front of me, it's been described as a story

of seduction. ian. and then we've had some views in this morning saying, this is every teenage boy's dream . teenage boy's dream. >> well, i suppose that's how it's going to be reported. and that's how people will see it, is that people see if men do it. this is some kind of a predatory thing, whereas the women teachers involved in all this, andifs teachers involved in all this, and it's seen as some kind of, as you say, some sort of teenage boys fantasy. but the reality is this it involves a sexual crime against minors and has got to be dean against minors and has got to be dealt with as such. >> yes. i mean, and what whatever happened will always be there and affect those boys lives, and in particular the child that has resulted as well, i mean, it it's not just you know, it's not just a silly thing that happened . it's thing that happened. it's something that really affects lives and will be there forever. >> that's right. you know, like, as you say, you've got there's three children involved in this. the two boys assaulted and then the. and then the baby that's been born. how's that? how would

you live your life when you know the circumstances of your birth and then there's the responsibility. you've got young lad, here at only 16, 17 who suddenly thrust into fatherhood. so it's a complete mess. and i think just by calling it a silly thing, it's not a silly thing. it's a criminal act. >> why do you keep your views coming in on that story? >> and by the way, i'm not a multi—millionaire. jeff thank you, he said. it's a bit absurd watching the multi—millionaire anne diamond calling out the multi—millionaire rishi sunak. i wish not the case. sadly why else would i get up at 215 in the morning? >> well, yes, that would be a question. if you were a multi—millionaire, it would, wouldn't it? >> yes, of course we are talking about the sunday times rich list. >> so rishi sunak and who was the top? >> well, i don't know whether it was paul mccartney, is now a billionaire, and it's the first time. it's the first time that's happenedin time. it's the first time that's happened in this country , happened in this country, apparently a billionaire. >> but the headline is that the sunaks rishi sunak and his wife

are now richer than the king well, they were in 2022. they weren't in 2023. but now they're back 2024. >> that's the story, mind you are monarchy have never been. not for many years, never been quite as wealthy as business. business wealth? no. they've always been people much richer than them. and also a bit later on, we'll talk about baby names. oh, yes, because they brought out the top ten baby names for this year again. and i think you'd probably be surprised by the leading boys name at the moment i was, yes, but your , if moment i was, yes, but your, if you've just had a child, they'll go to school with a lot of little boys named noah. yes there you are. it's a big, big name. yeah. okay. that's all coming up later. now to another shocking news story . terrible shocking news story. terrible thing. the bodies of three people who were kidnapped by hamas from that music festival on october the 7th. well, those bodies have now been found in gaza. >> yes. the israeli defence force confirmed that the three bodies were discovered overnight from intelligence gained by

interviewing captured hamas fighters. >> among the three hostages was this girl, 22 year old shani luke, whose remains were photographed. if you remember from the very beginning, she was just sort of bundled into the back of a pickup truck. >> well, israel now thinks at around 100 hostages may still be alive , while another 30 are alive, while another 30 are thought to be dead. >> well , thought to be dead. >> well, earlier on we spoke to the defence editor at the evening standard , robert fox. evening standard, robert fox. >> very peculiar story, because as we know that bodies of victims of the nova, concert were taken back into gaza, even though it seems that they were they were dying or dead , which they were dying or dead, which is the gruesome aspect to this, but it also underlines the fact that that the fate of some 40 of the hostages was just simply not known in, for months, this, of course, will, aggravate the, the

tensions between the families of the hostages and the israeli prime minister and his government. and it's a real point of argument now, as the controversies about the israeli military operation continue , military operation continue, what do we know about the idf's operation in order to get these three bodies out of that tunnel? >> did they know that they were going in to retrieve bodies, or were they hoping to find hostages alive? >> i think the latter very much, that's what they , they're really that's what they, they're really hoping for, is that they get to get , hostages back alive because get, hostages back alive because . sorry. forgive my the frog in my throat , which has been my throat, which has been bouncing around there for a long time, but, what they what the israelis had realised , was that israelis had realised, was that they had to do, probing reconnaissance operations to find, the hostages. we know that

the intelligence has been pretty goodin the intelligence has been pretty good in that they've known the whereabouts of quite a number of them. but as i said that it was always around 40, and it's now around 30 that they don't know where they are . and sadly, they where they are. and sadly, they don't seem to know whether they're alive at all. so the figure is coming down as you rightly announced, they thought there were about 132, hostages still there. they're now saying about 100. and meanwhile, the military operation gets in a way ever more complex because in recent weeks, we've been focusing on getting into rafah in the south, up against the egyptian border, where they think the mass of and it's several thousand quite a number of hamas fighters are including very possibly sinwar the leadership. but then they've had to go back into the north again,

where that hamas has started fighting it again. so it's a very elusive, very fluid guerilla force that that they're fighting. and there has been a terrific destruction in jabalia, which had been really badly hit. that's right in the north of the strip. and, i've just been looking at pictures of it just again. and it's all but devastated. there's almost nothing standing there in parts of jabalia. and i think that this will go on for quite some time . time. >> and sadly, it does look as though it's going to go for on a long, long time because you can't see an end to it. you can't see an end to it. you can't see an end to it. you can't see how it's going to work out. that's the terrible sadness of it. >> it really is. that was robert fox speaking to us a little bit earlier on in the program. now at 8:13, should we look at some politics? >> yes , yes, because labour are >> yes, yes, because labour are looking to introduce rent controls on private landlords if they win power at the next general election. >> the shadow chancellor, rachel reeves, is known to be a fan of

the idea. >> now, if it happened, it would allow councils to prevent landlords raising rents above a set amount every year. but apparently they've trialled it in scotland and found that it reduced the supply of housing and actually forced up new rents. >> well, joining us now is our gb news political correspondent, olivia utley berry. good to see you this morning, olivia. and if it backfired so much in scotland, why would the labour party be thinking about bringing it in here? >> well, i think that's a very good question. i mean, obviously in theory you can see the appeal of rent controls . rent is of rent controls. rent is skyrocketing in places like london, birmingham, manchester, all of our big cities. and it's widely believed to be unfair that those who can afford to get a deposit on a house are then able to pay off their mortgage, while anyone renting is sort of paying while anyone renting is sort of paying off someone else's mortgage. but as you say early, i mean, this idea has massively backfired in scotland. the problem is that when you introduce rent controls, you end

up with landlords fleeing the market. already there's a danger of landlords fleeing the market because of michael gove's renters reform bill. essentially, if you make things more difficult for landlords, they will just bow out, find another way to make their money. that means that those houses go on the market. but unfortunately, renters will still not be able to buy them because probably they won't have the deposit. so you end up in a situation where the supply of . situation where the supply of. rentable houses is reduced and you've got exactly the same number of people renting. now in a reality. how this has worked out in scotland is in glasgow and edinburgh, rent has increased by over 10% in the last couple of years, while in london, although it's high, it's only around 8.6. so of course there is a danger that exactly there is a danger that exactly the same thing could happen if it was introduced over here. i should just say that rachel reeves and the labour shadow cabinet have made clear that they are not. this is not national labour policy. they are not saying that they would

introduce rent controls across the whole country if they come into power. rachel reeves has just not ruled out saying that she would allow individual councils across the country to impose . rent controls if they impose. rent controls if they wish to do so, which is very different. and there are labour politicians today making the point that this is not a labour party policy. so i don't think we should go too far with this, but it does sound like something that rachel reeves herself is quite keen on, and obviously there could be huge ramifications. >> well, they're certainly going to have to tackle the problem of housing, especially if they do get in. thanks very much indeed, olivia. good to see you . 8:16 olivia. good to see you. 8:16 already. shall we find out what the weather has in store for us today? here's alex deakin , a today? here's alex deakin, a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb news . news. >> good morning. welcome to your latest weather update from the

met office here on gb news. a bit of a murky start to the weekend for many of us, but most of us will see some warm spells of us will see some warm spells of sunshine today. we're not going to be a few heavy showers around later on. a bit damp and drizzly in parts of the south coast and say some mist and fog around in places to parts of the coast of the northeast. sticking with that haar throughout but most areas brightening up good spells of sunshine. and then later on, the likelihood of some scattered but quite heavy showers over parts of south wales and southwest england in the sunny spells 20 degrees 21, 22, maybe 23. in a few spots it will be cooler on some north sea coast, particularly in the far north—east, where that mist and low cloud sticks around. and there's the threat of these showers turning quite heavy across devon, cornwall, somerset, parts of south wales as well, not everywhere seeing them, but where they do develop could drop quite a lot of rain in a short space of time. the shower is much more scattered further east, a few breaking out to over the hills and mountains of scotland. and there's that mist and low cloud that ha threatening to cling to parts of the coast of the east and the

north of scotland, suppressing the temperatures. but in the sunny spells in the west of scotland, in the south, temperatures again getting over 20 c. as for this evening, well, still a few heavy showers around across the southwest, so bear that in mind. for most of us, though, are a pretty pleasant summer's evening, if you will. the mist and low cloud likely to thicken up and just drift back inland over parts of eastern england. so again making for a fairly murky, misty start for many of us to tomorrow morning. temperatures holding up in double digits in most towns and cities onto sunday and again for the vast majority, it's looking like a fine bright day. starting grey and murky and misty. but that mist and low cloud should disappear . that mist and low cloud should disappear. still 1 or 2 showers across southwest england and again over the mountains of scotland. the mist and low cloud will again cling to some eastern coasts, but for the vast majority again dry brightening up sunny spells, developing and feeling warm in that sunshine as well. goodbye >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather

so do you stay tuned for that.

welcome back to breakfast with elianne. and yes, it's 8:24. >> now, if you're in the north—east this weekend, go to whitby for their fish and chips festival. actually, it's not chips. it's fish and chips, isn't it? it's confusing. yes, it's a sea festival celebrating the town's rich fishing heritage. >> and the woman who has got the best job in the business today is a very own yorkshire and humber reporter, anna riley, who is there for us. this morning. morning to you, anna. >> good morning ellie and anne. yes, here in whitby, where it's very atmospheric . we've got the very atmospheric. we've got the fog coming in. it almost takes us back to bram stoker's dracula. that was the

inspiration in whitby was for him to write that novel. and it does feel like that today. but we're hoping the sun is going to come out a little bit later for the fish and chips festival. it's on all weekend. it's a free event that's been run by north yorkshire council, with the aim of boosting tourism in the area and also showcasing the maritime heritage of whitby. as well as local businesses and the food, as well the fish and chips and other amazing seafood that's made here. i'm joined by paul gilroy , the man that knows all gilroy, the man that knows all about food because he's the head chef at the magpie cafe, a very well known restaurant and eating spot here in whitby. paul just tell us a little bit about this event and what your role is going to be this weekend. >> well, it's a free event for everyone to come to, like like you said, it's to, celebrate whitby's heritage. fishing heritage. what we have in the

past, but then also what we're still doing now to showcase things that's happening still in the town, my involvement is i'm doing cutting demonstrations in the cookery tent, but then i'll also be in the fish craft tent where we have a huge fish display , we'll be taking fish display, we'll be taking fish off their filleting it. i'll be cutting it up, giving samples out for people to try and then, as i say, the fish display is everything that's done beyond there is caught in uk waters. so it's a highlight what we've got around our shores and to get people to come and try it and, you know, embrace fish and love fish because it it's gorgeous. >> it really is. and keeping it local obviously. whitby was first known for whaling wasn't it.then first known for whaling wasn't it. then it moved a lot of coal around. it's known for shipbuilding and as well as catching fish, it's now known for its hatcheries, isn't it? and it's shellfish. yeah. >> that's right. yeah. i mean, and then whitby was, was one of the main ports for whitefish at

one point, but obviously things change. the whitefish has moved on further north. so yeah, we've the fishermen have diversified now and it's more crab and lobster scallops things like that. so yeah you diversify, you draw. you draw with what there is there . and it's working, you is there. and it's working, you know, with, with the third biggest shellfish port in the country. so yeah. long may it continue. and fish and chips are staple british one that we all love. >> there's always that debate though isn't there. between cod and haddock . though isn't there. between cod and haddock. do you as a chef have a preference? >> yeah, i would probably go on to the haddock, i think, it has just a little bit more flavour. but both are good. yeah. you know, you can't beat a plate of fish and chips. it's just. yeah. gorgeous. >> and do you think it does taste better when it's caught locally as well ? locally as well? >> yeah. yeah. i mean yeah it is. i mean like i said, unfortunately though, there are a lot of the fish nowadays. it doesn't come from whitby. it's you know, we get a lot of ours

from peterhead, but it's always it's fresh, it's good and being by the seaside makes a difference as well. anyway, you get that sea air so you get that saltiness in the air which, which adds to the flavour of the fish and chips. so yeah, why not, why not? >> thank you so much paul. so we're going to be at this festival throughout the day. you'll see some of the delicious fish and chips on offer, as well as all the other fish and seafood here. music is going to be happening. there's local businesses selling their crafts. it's going to be a fantastic weekend and let's hope the sun comes out soon. >> well, let's hope so. it sounds wonderful, anna riley. and atmospheric is a great word, isn't it? you don't. >> you don't necessarily need sunshine, though, for fish and chips, do you? >> you're so right. >> you're so right. >> we've lost our fish and chip shopin >> we've lost our fish and chip shop in our village. no, there are rumours it's coming back. i hope so, because it's a real loss. because they knew how to do it properly and up in whitby, they know how to do it properly. >> you kind of have to be on the beach, don't you? and that you have to be outdoorsy, don't you? yeah yeah. >> the salty and just handling

the fish and chips has to almost burn your fingers doesn't it. >> oh, i know we hungry. this is a problem. we do these stories, then i go home and all i want is fish and chips. yeah, we end up eating them all the time. yeah. and i have a lovely fish and chip at the bottom of my road, which is a real danger. very dangerous there all the time. >> well, the ours was in the village. it was just too tempting. >> it's a big loss. yeah. >> it's a big loss. yeah. >> when you knew that it was time for a fry up, it was very tempting to just pop over the road. but it's not there at the moment. >> anyway, we'll move on to other, more important subjects at the moment. >> it's heading very quickly towards 830. let me ask you this serious question. are we in the end times for impartial news coverage? because there's this boss at the bbc who said that news that tells all sides of a story is increasingly offending audiences? >> yes, well, it's another bbc boss has said that people are increasingly stuck in echo chambers where they only hear and read views that already augn and read views that already align with their own beliefs. >> well, joining us now is journalist and co—director of compassion in politics, jennifer nadel compassion in politics, jennifer nadel. is it nadel ? nadel?

nadel. is it nadel? nadel? nadel nadel. is it nadel? nadel? nadel. right, i sort of can't quite get what they're what they're trying to get at these various bbc bosses say, i mean, impartiality is something that i believe very strongly in, don't you? >> absolutely. as you know, in my reporting days, that's what ourjob is my reporting days, that's what our job is to my reporting days, that's what ourjob is to try and find out our job is to try and find out what the facts are. >> there are plenty of other outlets where you get opinions, you know, whether it's the spectator or whether it's the new statesman. you can take the facts and then opine about them or examine them from an ideological perspective . but the ideological perspective. but the facts themselves are really important. they're fundamental in a democracy, if we don't have bafic in a democracy, if we don't have basic information about how policies are working, how the nhs is working, all of these issues, we cannot make the basic decision about how to cast our vote. so, so truth, honesty and factual accuracy are really bafic factual accuracy are really basic to how we all live. you know, i just met winston the plumber, a lovely guy, but how

on earth can you be a plumber if you don't believe that there are factual causes to what you're trying to fix? and it's exactly the same in the political space and in the other spaces that we as journalists operate, we have to be able to find out what's happening, why it's happening, and we have to tell the public the truth, and then they can make their own decision. >> so what do you make, then, of the bbc boss who says that he's finding people are being offended by hearing the other side to a story, the opposite of their belief? where do you think that has come from? do you think it's perhaps social media where we are creating our own echo chambers? we follow people who think the same thing as us, and vice versa. and then that's perhaps why people are then getting offended when they switch on a news channel and they hear the opposite. >> i think you're absolutely right, because obviously the way we consume news has changed and a lot of us choose. we subscribe as as deborah turness, who is the boss, said. bbc boss said we subscribe to certain news channels . the algorithms then channels. the algorithms then come into play, so we tend to

hear what we want to hear and that reinforces any prejudice or bias that we might have. and then when that collides with the facts, with the reality of perhaps what's happening on the ground, say in the middle east, then that's really problematic, because do we believe what we ourselves think we know, or do we believe what, what the bbc or or any other broadcaster or news station is telling us? so there's a collision then between what we think we know and what the facts are and part of the problem is that that that the same standards of journalism don't apply online. you know , don't apply online. you know, there is no duty to try and be impartial. there is no duty to try and convey the truth. and i just kind of wanted to broaden it out, because what's happening in journalism is also what's been happening in politics. the truth has kind of slid out of the well. >> the very word truth is under fire isn't it? because nowadays you have your truth and her truth, and it's as though the

two things were, you know, who was it? who said, was it meghan? meghan markle in the oprah winfrey interview , actually winfrey interview, actually said, well, that's my truth, but you can't have my truth. truth is truth, isn't it? or are we are now living in a society where you can interpret truth ? where you can interpret truth? >> absolutely. and i think what people are doing is they're using the word truth when they really mean perspective or lived experience. possibly. and the reason i wanted to talk about politics is i think it has a huge impact on this. and we have seen we do a lot of polling at compassion in politics, and we know that the thing voters want most is truth and honesty amongst politicians, but it's getting harder and harder to do that because basically there's a race to the bottom in the same way as these online news channels can give you what you want to hear. politicians often feel obliged to say what's expedient in order to get their policy across the line or to get

the votes they need. so we really believe that we need to have a reset moment, that we need to put truth back at the heart of how we function. and we would actually introduce regulations to ensure that there are consequences if politicians deliberately deceive voters . and deliberately deceive voters. and i think the same consequences would be really useful across the board , just very, very the board, just very, very briefly, if you would, because we're out of time already. >> but, when you talk about compassion in politics, is that because you perceive a cruelty in politics now and maybe a growing cruelty? >> i've watched compassion steadily be edged out of the pubuc steadily be edged out of the public space in favour of a much more brutal, individualistic attitude . and absolutely, i see attitude. and absolutely, i see avoidable suffering. and i think that the duty of government is to make the lives of its citizens better, and for a government to take actions that increase the suffering of the most vulnerable, or to ignore avoidable suffering that it could cure, is morally wrong and against the very purpose of politics.

>> jennifer, really good to see you today. >> thank you very much. yeah, that in itself is fascinating. >> yeah. we could talk to you all morning. >> yeah. thank you very much indeed. >> but we've got sport next with aidan magee. he'll be with you in a couple of moments.

hello again. 838, and aidan's here to tell us all about the title race. >> good morning to you both. morning. yeah. fascinating. this weekend. look, manchester city and arsenal are embroiled in this , this huge tug of war over this, this huge tug of war over the premier league title. arsenal have got closer to them over the last couple of years, but they were dealt a blow in midweek when manchester city went to tottenham and won two nil. that puts them one point ahead as we go into the matches tomorrow. every match has to. this is the only time in the season when every match on the final day has to kick off simultaneously. oh really? yes because it's deemed to be an

advantage if you go into a game with your rivals having already played and therefore you know what you have to do, that's been the case since 1995, maybe 94, 94, actually. so it's not a new thing, but that's how it's worked out. manchester city at home to west ham united. so arsenal need a massive favour from their london rivals going to the etihad. they need them to get a draw against manchester city and for arsenal to beat everton at home. all the smart money is on is on manchester city beating west ham comfortably, which will be david moyes last game in charge and claiming their fourth successive league title. as i say, i think they broke the back of the situation on tuesday at white hart lane. i think they did a bit, you know they won two nil there. they hadn't previously scored a premier league goal at that stadium, but they got over the line and that's why i think tomorrow's exciting as it could be. i don't see any scope for any for any upsets unfortunately. but we'll be monitoring it here on gb news on that and the build up tomorrow morning, of course, that we will. >> and it's also jurgen klopp's last game. >> it is indeed. they play wolves at home. they should really, really be involved as a

three way, three way tussle for the title at the moment. you know, they've fallen away quite badly in the last 4 to 6 months. i said last hour, didn't i, that i said last hour, didn't i, that i felt that the his announcement in january that he'd be leaving would have an effect on the title race and their form hasn't dropped off that alarmingly, they still picked up points. i think they're still on 78 points and maybe slightly more. i'll have to check on that. but the margins for error are just so, so, so fine right now. arsenal have lost one league game since since, since january. and it looks like that one is going to put them out of the title race. they're home to aston villa, so the margins are very, very slim. and jurgen klopp though nine years at liverpool he's won a champions league. he's won a premier league title and multiple domestic 79 points. is it okay? thanks. >> i should know that you weren't far off. >> no 78. yeah, i should know it though. you should know it. so look he's had he's had a very successful nine years. he's been up against manchester city who are a juggernaut of a football club right now, although they still have the 115 charges hanging over there, hanging over their head in terms of, you know, whether they won these titles in just fashion and that

will be borne out well, we'll know the result of that sometime in the next few months, we would think. but it's going to be exciting tomorrow at least. and then of course, the boxing is exciting too. yeah, the midnight tonight, the dust up in the desert. well it's not. yes we think on my estimate would be midnight. my estimate would be midnight. my estimate would be midnight so late. but it depends on the undercard. it depends on how things over overrun there all manner of variables that could affect the time that the fighters come into the ring. i mean, you could. we've had situations in the past where the challenger or the champion keeps the challenger waiting, but all the challenger waiting, but all the belts on the line tonight. so nobody is in the ascendancy in that regard. but all eyes will be on tyson fury's cut. whether it's healed properly, he said no problem whatsoever. it'll be interesting to see what the stance is because he goes in the stance is because he goes in the ring looking to protect it. then you'll know that he's still vulnerable and he's worried about it, and that could play into usyks hands. although i do believe and i said it in a couple in the last couple of hours, i said that fury will win, but on a split decision. i think it's going to be that close because usyk is highly skilled and he's unbeaten, whereas fury is also unbeaten but has a draw against his name.

>> and they're two massive blokes, aren't they? yeah they are. >> this is heavyweight boxing. but usyk is the heaviest he's beenin but usyk is the heaviest he's been in his career 16 stone six. he's six foot three. fury at six foot nine. he's 18 stone seven. that interestingly is the lightest he's been in four years. they've kind of met each other somewhere in the middle. but still fury has the, the edge in terms of reach and in terms of a significant height advantage and just over two stone in weight as well. but we saw how easily usyk dispatched to anthony joshua, a very big guy as well, six foot six, similar kind of similar kind of ranges, as fury. and he dispatched him very easily with just purely by skill, i have to say, and movement. and that's that could be what does he's going to stay up all night watching it. i have to it's my job. >> i'll have to. >> i'll have to. >> and he'll be telling us all about it tomorrow morning. >> give me a nudge. give me a nudgeifi >> give me a nudge. give me a nudge if i fall asleep tomorrow morning. >> yeah, well, forgive you if you are falling asleep. thank you are falling asleep. thank you very much, aidan. cheers. do stay with us. we're going to be going through the papers next with cindy yu and winston davis.

>> oh. >> oh. >> welcome back to breakfast with me. >> and we have a game of thrones stars . stars. >> tell us when it is. >> tell us when it is. >> series a, series five, series five, episode two. two. about 45 minutes. yeah. don't get up for coffee because it's about 20s. yeah. >> and what would we recognise you? >> i'm a mugger. you definitely recognise me. oh, really ? yeah. recognise me. oh, really? yeah. oh. what fun. yeah. i didn't know you were an actor . well, i know you were an actor. well, i tried a little bit when i was younger. i'm waiting for hollywood to come calling. so if anyone's watching, you get repeat. >> do you get repeat fees and checks? do you know what i did for the first bit and then. >> and then i think it goes . it >> and then i think it goes. it goes off. off of that. yeah. >> so it must have been nice for a while. >> that's one of the best series eve r. >> even >> yeah. fingers. i know nothing about it until i went through the audition. and then when i found out about it, i was just like, oh, this is. you want to be a part of that? >> yeah. >> yeah. who >> yeah. who are >> yeah. who are you? >> yeah. who are you? >> who are you in it? >> who are you in it? >> i was a mugger. i tried

mugging one of the actors. aria, maisie williams. and, they cut my line out. i had one line and they cut it out, but we can still see you 100. yeah. >> oh, i've got to go home. >> oh, i've got to go home. >> we need to get. >> we need to get. >> we need to get the clip of this. that sounds great. >> so, winston, you're full of surprises on series five, episode two, 45 minutes in. >> yes. was it episode 2 or 4? >> yes. was it episode 2 or 4? >> two. two. great. good. >>— >> two. two. great. good. >> 45 minutes in. >> 45 minutes in. >> well, as you can see, there's your homework for today . as you your homework for today. as you can see, cindy yu and winston davis are with us. very good morning to you both. hey, winston, aside from being an actor, you're also doing a fabulous job on our papers today . and we're going to look at the first story on our list. it's about alcohol abuse in the guardian. >> yeah. so alcohol abuse costing us £27 billion a year , costing us £27 billion a year, that's up 37% on 2003, and it's. yeah, it's quite staggering. it's, it's costing our, health service £4.9 billion a year. it's costing our social services £3 billion a year. and it's

costing our criminal justice system £14.6 billion a year, which is actually two and a half times more than what it costs to keep everyone in prison in the whole of the country, £6 billion a year to keep people locked up , a year to keep people locked up, and i find it really interesting because we've got this thing of it's costing us 27 billion, the total uk alcohol market is about just under £50 billion a year. and yet when we talk about illegal drugs, it costs us £19 billion a year for illegal drugs. so actually back to that conversation of, you know, is alcohol, should alcohol be banned and obe? the prohibition of alcohol didn't work in america . and i'm not suggesting america. and i'm not suggesting it should be banned, but actually there is no safe way to consume alcohol. and there's a guy, matt lambert, who's the chief executive chief executive of portman, who represents, the, you know, the marketing and the safe consumption of alcohol. but actually, there is no safe consumption of alcohol. >> why do we do it then ? >> why do we do it then? >> why do we do it then? >> well, that's another question, isn't it? >> that's always the way, isn't it? any anyone who tastes

alcohol for the first time hates it and can't sit . they can't it and can't sit. they can't understand why anyone would want to do it, and yet they persevere until they rather like it. yeah that's like any kind of drug or any kind of addiction that you become involved in. >> first of all, you're not going to like it. you know, people that smoke cigarettes the first time, i'm sure they never thought that they would smoke another cigarette. but actually then when we normalise it, as we have over the centuries and saying alcohol is an okay thing to do in this country, well, people do it and you grow up with it. you grow up as a you know, i remember being probably 8 or 9 and seeing people drunk. you think, oh, that's funny. you're into a pub or, you know, and then you have your first sip of it and you're like, so it's so much part of our culture as well, isn't it? >> absolutely. and i think the brits have a pretty like particularly, what do they want to say. bad. bad seems to be value laden but particularly serious drinking culture. let's put it that way. you know, if you look at go around the world, look at the way that other people drink, it's often with food, you know, but our pop culture, you know, we should we should be protecting our pubs and all that. but our pop

culture is such that people are drinking without eating and like, binge drinking when they're out on a night out, although that's changed as well, haven't they? >> because a lot of experts say if only if only people drank more at pubs and not so much at home. because at least at pubs you have people around you and you have people around you and you have people around you and you have the publican, the landlord who will actually keep an eye on you or something like that , it's an eye on you or something like that, it's drinking at home now. that seems to be the big problem. >> it might just be the slightly worse option of already a bad culture, i think. but yeah, drinking at home and i thought the stats in the guardian were really interesting about how the lockdown really kind of spiralled this alcohol abuse because people were, you know, sad , depressed at home, you sad, depressed at home, you know, lonely, whatever it was. and it was looking for ways . and it was looking for ways. >> yeah. and it was units of alcohol i think in lockdown. i mean i was i like a gin and tonic, and i was partial to what i thought was and i know my mum was doing the same, actually, what i thought was a one unit or one shot, it was probably pounng one shot, it was probably pouring myself quadruple in lockdown. >> yes. that's when you, when you drink at home. when you dnnk you drink at home. when you drink at home, more generous with your. yes.

>> you're much more generous, which is a worry. >> so i wouldn't want to go down the route of banning alcohol. i do also like a drink, but i think it's about this culture of if people say i don't drink or i'd rather not have a drink, or people at university, there's still such a hazing culture about young people going to university who don't drink, and, you know, we kind of like to laugh at them a bit. you know, the dry freshers and that kind of stuff. but actually, you know what? maybe it's okay, let them be. because frankly, they're going to be healthier than the drinkers who are. >> that is a growing trend, though, isn't it? people who just are teetotal, who just don't drink at all. and there's this sober, curious trend now, have you heard about that? >> sober curious. >> sober curious. >> yeah. well, people are just going like a bit damp, not entirely dry, but just. >> oh, no. but it's a good it's a good dabbling in not drinking. it's a good thing . like i said, it's a good thing. like i said, there's no safe way to consume alcohol. so if people do drink occasionally and i never get drunk sober. >> curious. yeah >> curious. yeah >> no, i never get drunk. as a youngster, i used to get smashed. and it's like as i growing up, i was like, nah, i can't be doing that. and i got used to getting a lot of trouble

for it. and it's actually, i think that really we ought to be looking at what's causing it. what's the, you know, the reasons why people are drinking more. you talk about covid and we talk about this is, you know, the cost to the economy has gone up 37% in the last 20 years. why is that? you know, why are people drinking more? why is there more crime associated? why are there more problems? you know what's happened in the last 20 years, apart from 14 years of a different government? what's happenedin a different government? what's happened in the last 20 years that's caused people to think it's you know, either okay to dnnk it's you know, either okay to drink more or turn to drink to as a comfort or some way to get out of this nightmare that we seem to be living in. >> we've got two minutes left on papers. i don't know how that all of that's been eaten up, but do you want to talk about caterpillars or only fans? >> an only fans. let's go, let's go. >> only fans. >> only fans. >> with cindy, the only fan story is quite fun. it's not, it's not. it's not weird. >> tell us about this, so these are team gb divers. you know , are team gb divers. you know, think of the likes of tom daley, but not specifically tom daley, but not specifically tom daley, but his team—mates , are having but his team—mates, are having to fund their olympic dreams through onlyfans and onlyfans is this kind of app, which is a subscription only. and basically you're paying a certain amount

of to money your to people you follow. most of it is being used for porn , but i don't think for porn, but i don't think these team gb divers are well, i hope not. but there are some sexy pictures, let's put it that way. oh how do you feel about that? i think it's kind of i think yeah, to each their own. and also is it professional. so actually the team team gb have said that they don't mind, you know, if the divers are not getting enough money outside of competitions then you know, supplement it. you know, if it's a legal and safe way of doing it andifs a legal and safe way of doing it and it's all consensual. winston, so they're going to possibly put themselves in murky waters here, you know, if, if, if you're only fans as well. >> winston. oh, sorry. >> winston. oh, sorry. >> sorry , if they went off and >> sorry, if they went off and they had another career after their swimming and they were in a position of responsibility or they were looking after vulnerable people, them it may come back on them. you know, if they start flashing up photos of them, their bums out or whatever

else they're doing, that might not be appropriate and might limit them down the line . limit them down the line. >> yeah. i don't think it's appropriate. it's a good word that let us know what you make of that one. >> gbnews.com/yoursay cindy yu winston, really good to see you today. thank you very much indeed. really good to see you. >> time to catch up with the weather. here it is. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> good morning. welcome to your latest weather update from the met office here on gb news. a bit of a murky start to the weekend for many of us, but most of us will see some warm spells of us will see some warm spells of sunshine today. we're going to be a few heavy showers around later on. a bit damp and drizzly in parts of the south coast, and as i say, some mist and fog around in places to parts of the coast of the northeast. sticking with that ha throughout, but most areas brightening up good spells of sunshine , and then spells of sunshine, and then later on the likelihood of some scattered but quite heavy

showers over parts of south wales and southwest england in the sunny spells 20 degrees 21, 22, maybe 23. in a few spots it will be cooler on some north sea coast, particularly in the far north—east, where that mist and low cloud sticks around. and there's the threat of these showers turning quite heavy across devon, cornwall, somerset, parts of south wales as well, not everywhere seeing them, but where they do develop could drop quite a lot of rain in a short space of time. the shower is much more scattered further east, a few breaking out to over the hills and mountains of scotland. and there's that mist and low cloud that ha threatening to cling to parts of the coast of the east and the north of scotland, suppressing the temperatures. but in the sunny spells in the west of scotland, in the south, temperatures again getting over 20 c. as for this evening, well, still a few heavy showers around across the southwest, so bear that in mind. for most of us, though are pretty pleasant. summer's evening, if you will. the mist and low cloud likely to thicken up and just drift back inland over parts of eastern england. so again, making for a fairly murky, misty start for

many of us to tomorrow morning, temperatures holding up in double digits in most towns and cities on to sunday. and again, for the vast majority, it's looking like a fine bright day starting grey and murky and misty. but that mist and low cloud should disappear. still, 1 or 2 showers across southwest england and again over the mountains of scotland. the mist and low cloud will again cling to some eastern coasts, but for the vast majority again dry , the vast majority again dry, brightening up sunny spells, developing and feeling warm in that sunshine as well. goodbye >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on

good morning. it's 9:00 on saturday, the 18th of may. she said checking. yes, it is saturday, the 18th of may. today a teacher faces a lengthy prison

sentence after being convicted of having sex with two of her pupils. >> bodies of three people who were kidnapped by hamas on october 7 have been found by the israeli military in gaza , and israeli military in gaza, and labour have said they could introduce rent caps to prevent landlords from raising prices every year. >> that's, of course, if they win the next general election in. >> us rachel reeves, the shadow chancellor , is apparently very chancellor, is apparently very keen on the idea, but it massively backfired in scotland. how might it play out here with student pro—palestine protests sweeping the nation? >> we're asking, do demonstrations like this actually work ? actually work? >> and we're heading to whitby, where our yorkshire reporter is going to be sampling some local fish and chips at their fish and ships festival . ships festival. >> yes, we're here in whitby for

the event of the weekend, showcasing whitby's maritime heritage, but also what it's got to offer for the present and the future. >> a bit of a grey start in places this morning. some mist and low cloud around, but that should clear most of us brightening up and warming up. just watch out for 1 or 2 heavy showers across parts of the south. join me later for a full weekend forecast. >> good morning to you. >> good morning to you. >> i'm ellie costello and i'm anne diamond and this is breakfast on gb news. now all morning i've been threatening to tell you what are the top ten baby names of the last year? i suppose because yes, that's right, the ons has been. the office for national statistics has been looking at this, and for quite a few years now, mohammed has been number one boys name, but actually it's been overtaken by noah. so if you've got a little boy at the

moment , he's you've got a little boy at the moment, he's going to go to school with a lot of noah's. >> it's very biblical. >> it's very biblical. >> it's very biblical. >> it is. it's a i don't know what i think of it because they used to say, no, it was an unlucky name, didn't they? why i don't know, i think on noah's ark he'd be quite lucky. well yes, he did quite well, really. he built the ark and got there and got all the animals. so the animals. i don't know why, but they used to call people a bit of a noah if they were a, a doomsday speaker, if they were always looking down, they'd say always looking down, they'd say always a bit of a noah. i don't know why. maybe, you know, please get in touch, but. so number one boy's name was noah , number one boy's name was noah, then mohammed, and then george , then mohammed, and then george, oliver. leo, arthur, oscar , oliver. leo, arthur, oscar, theodore, theo. which is presumably a shortening of theodore and freddie. quite posh names, actually, and very engush names, actually, and very english as well. >> yes. very traditional , i like them. >> oliver's always. i've got an oliver. you've got an oliver, andifs oliver. you've got an oliver, and it's always been in the top ten. it's very, very popular. always has name.

>> really lovely name. and i find the girls names very girly. do you know what i mean by that kind of whimsical , quite kind of whimsical, quite flowery. flowery names. yes. so number one is olivia, which it has been for a very long time. >> and then there's amelia , >> and then there's amelia, which is lovely. >> yes. isla. ava. lily ivy. >>— >> yes. isla. ava. lily ivy. >> that's an old one, isn't it? ivy. the floral names are usually quite old. they're very victorian ish, but they're all. they come back. >> yeah, they're all coming back in. freya, florence, isabella and mia . and mia. >> i like florence. i know she'd be called flo or flora or something, but florence is a beautiful name . beautiful name. >> what were you saying? you'd call a girl if you'd had a girl? >> oh, there was a very popular tv program. about. oh, i don't know. was it victorian seamstresses ? it was a really, seamstresses? it was a really, really good one. i can't remember what it was called now, but the woman's name in it was evangeline . yes. and i thought evangeline. yes. and i thought i'd like that. a it's a lovely name and it's quite unusual, but the shortenings of it are many

and lovely. evie eva, angie, lina . it's got lots and lots of lina. it's got lots and lots of sort of nice shortens shorten . yeah. >> there's a lot you can do with the with evangeline. >> it's beautiful. isn't it? lovely however, i never had a baby girl, so i never got. i never got my evangeline. >> oh, it's a lovely name. yes. and apparently this was interesting as well. this caught our eye, didn't it? this morning, ophelia and ottilie. >> now ophelia. yes. beautiful name. actually. gorgeous name. i'm surprised it's not in the top ten, but i've never heard of ottilie. oh, i think that's that's a doublet ottilie. oh, i think that's that's a double t i l i e navalny. have you heard? you've heard of that? >> yeah, i've heard of it. yeah, there's a girl that i know from who's just had a baby girl called ottilie. and i think it's very pretty. >> archie and willow have dropped out of the top ten, it is really interesting to look at, isn't it? look at those names. >> and the older names, as you say, coming back in. i think it's lovely, do let us know. >> and you're saying baby's ellie, but you're your name on your birth certificate is

elizabeth. it is. so you're an ellie short, but ellie is a name in its own right now, i think very much. is it? isn't it? >> i don't know, it's usually short. something usually short for eleanor, but i'm elizabeth for eleanor, but i'm elizabeth for some reason, fascinating. >> the trend in baby names, if you've got any. got any unusual ones? i'd love to hear from you, and apparently it's jonah, not noah. right? >> you're right. >> you're right. >> we're being told on the on the. >> thank you so much for getting in touch so quickly. yeah it's not noah, then it's jonah. you're right. >> jonah. yeah >> jonah. yeah >> who did have an unfortunate time with a whale? >> yes, yes , that. yeah, that >> yes, yes, that. yeah, that makes more sense, doesn't it? >> no. there should be a, keep the views coming in on names because we find it fascinating, isn't it? >> yeah. gbnews.com/yoursay. yeah. >> now to one of the main news stories of the day. and it's a secondary school maths teacher who is facing a lengthy jail term after she was convicted of having sex with two of her students, whom she brought home to her salford quays flat. >> well, that's as the 30 year old rebecca joynes also gave birth to one of the boy's babies

earlier this year. the boys in question were 15 and 16 varne. >> well, earlier on we spoke to the former detective chief inspector mike neville to sort of see this in some that the boys have had some kind of, good time or something where they are the victims of sexual assault. >> and so she'll face a lengthy prison sentence, it would seem. >> do you think prison is the right place for her? >> well, it's a delicate balance, isn't it? because you have, she has a young child, but that would seem to be in care by the sounds of the reporting on this, but the facts are she doesn't go to prison . what kind doesn't go to prison. what kind of message does it send out? because any man who did this would, of course, be jailed for 5 to 10 years. >> yeah, it does seem, extraordinary that we're sort of questioning whether or not she should be in prison. where we wouldn't if she were a man. however, is it the right place for her? will she? i mean, when you read up the story, you just can't help but feel that she's

sick. will she get the right sort of rehabilitative care ? sort of rehabilitative care? >> well, i think sometimes we forget that prison is about punishment. and she's committed sexual offences against the two underage children. so one, there's the issue of punishment. and secondly is she is she ill? what is the issues here that thatis what is the issues here that that is something that the psychologists and psychiatric people in prison can figure out. but i think there must be some kind of prison time because otherwise it just sends out a bad message to other teachers . bad message to other teachers. >> mike, have you been surprised by the discourse surrounding this story, or is it not something that that shocks you? because, i mean, even looking at the paper in front of me, it's been described as a story of seduction. and then we've had some views in this morning saying , this is every teenage saying, this is every teenage boy's dream . boy's dream. >> well, i suppose that's how it's going to be reported. and that's how people will see it, is that people see if men do it. this is some kind of a predatory thing. whereas a woman teacher's involved in all this, and it's

seen as some kind of as you say, some sort of teenage boys fantasy. but the reality is this it involves a sexual crime against minors and has got to be dean against minors and has got to be dealt with as such . dealt with as such. >> yes. i mean, and what whatever happened will always be there and affect those boys lives , and in particular, the lives, and in particular, the child that has resulted as well, i mean, it it's not just, you know, it's not just a silly thing that happened. it's something that really affects lives and will be there forever. >> that's right. you know , like, >> that's right. you know, like, as you say, you've got there's three children involved in this. the two boys assaulted and then the and then the baby that's been born. how's that? how would you live your life when you know the circumstance of your birth? and then there's the responsibility. you've got a young lad here. i'd only 16, 17 who suddenly thrust into fatherhood. so it's a complete mess. and i think just by calling it a silly thing. it's not a silly thing. it's a criminal act. >> that's mike neville speaking to us a little bit earlier on.

yeah. >> and keep your comments coming in. it's it certainly divides opinion as to whether, how we talk about that particular subject at all and whether our whole conversation would be very different if that person were a man and not a woman. yeah. >> just split you right down the middle, it seems, actually looking at the comments today, as do keep them coming in gbnews.com/yoursay now at 9:09, the labour party are looking to introduce rent controls on private landlords if they win power at the next general election. the shadow chancellor, rachel reeves, is known to be a fan of the idea. >> well, it would allow councils to prevent landlords from raising rents above a set amount every year, but apparently it's been trialled in scotland and there they found it actually reduced the supply of housing and in the end it forced up new rents. well joining us now is our gb news political correspondent olivia utley . correspondent olivia utley. >> very good morning to you, olivia. and if it backfired so much in scotland, why would this be a good idea for the labour party? >> well, you can see why the

labour party is tempted by the idea.the labour party is tempted by the idea. the rental situation for people in britain's big cities is pretty catastrophic at the moment. in london, rents have risen by over 8% in the last two years and we've all heard shocking stories about people having to leave the capital because they're not able to pay the sort of rents that are expected anymore. the problem is that there are unintended consequences. as we've seen in scotland, nicola sturgeon introduced a similar policy back introduced a similar policy back in 2022, and what happened was landlords simply left the sector altogether . 17% of landlords landlords simply left the sector altogether. 17% of landlords in scotland have either already sold up or are thinking of selling up. now you might think that would be an ideal situation. those houses go onto the market, and people who were renting are then able to buy them. but actually people usually don't have the deposits to buy them. even if house pnces to buy them. even if house prices have gone down a little bit as a result of increased supply. so what ends up happening is you have a smaller

supply of rental houses, and just as many people renting. and so what happens? almost counterintuitive really, is rents go up. and that is what we've seen happen in practice in scotland over the last two years. rents have increased by just over 8% in london, which is very high indeed. but in scotland, that figure is 10.6, and in glasgow and edinburgh it is even higher. so there and in glasgow and edinburgh it is even higher . so there is a is even higher. so there is a real worry among conservatives at the moment that that could happenif at the moment that that could happen if this policy was introduced in the uk, i should just say that the labour party have made clear that introducing rent controls wouldn't be a sort of national policy. all that's happened at the moment is the shadow chancellor rachel reeves, has says she is interested in the idea of allowing individual councils to introduce rent controls on private rented accommodation if they would like to do so. so we're a few steps off from what happened in scotland in 2022, but there is a potential that we could be heading in that direction.

>> are you surprised that in an election year, we haven't heard more from the labour party about their solutions to the housing crisis ? crisis? >> i think it's quite surprising that we haven't heard that much from either party. on their solutions to the housing crisis again and again. this is an issue which comes in the top three of problems that the pubuc three of problems that the public are worried about. the big problems facing the uk . and big problems facing the uk. and of course, the conservative party has the perennial issue of if they the only way really to address the housing crisis is to build more houses. but of course there are, you know, leafy nice areas in the south of england, in particular, where there are lots of what's known as nimbys, people who don't want more houses built in their town or village because they are worried about the character of that village being destroyed. they're worried about green spaces being overtaken. they're worried about, understandably, perhaps, about, understandably, perhaps, about there not being enough pubuc about there not being enough public services for new houses . public services for new houses. so the conservatives have to tread really, really carefully

here between keeping onside their sort of, core voters in those leafy southern areas and offering to build more houses for their many, many young people in particular who really need them. labour have a slightly easier, way of looking at this in that their core constituents don't tend to be those kind of leafy nimby areas. so yeah, i think it's a really good question. why aren't we heanng good question. why aren't we hearing more from keir starmer about what he's going to do to tackle the housing crisis? >> well, there's time yet, i suppose. >> well, there's time yet, i suppose . olivia, thanks very suppose. olivia, thanks very much indeed. it's going to be a long year . it much indeed. it's going to be a long year. it is going to be that election, isn't it? >> but interesting you raise that because i was talking to someone yesterday who said they're really surprised they hadnt they're really surprised they hadn't seen housing on this list from keir starmer. six pledges housing wasn't on, their defence wasn't on there. we're living in a very dangerous world. yeah. threats from from russia and threats from china and iran. >> and i think a lot of people would mention here, they would like to hear that if they decided to switch a vote, for

instance, and vote labour, they would like to hear that labour will care about defence and about housing. you really would expect it. >> well, is that how you feel? would you like to see it? yeah, maybe they are. i'm sure it'll all come out in the manifesto. >> not in the five pledges though, was it? >> it wasn't. >> it wasn't. >> how many was it? 5 or 6 pledges. >> six pledges? six. >> six pledges? six. >> that's right. because rishi is five, rishi is five. >> labour party is offering six. yeah. tony blair offered five in the 90s. yeah. they're very similar to his actually. >> and delivered on them too actually. yeah. it'd be nice to see that happen again wouldn't it. anyway let's move on to another very distressing story that's been in the news overnight. really, the bodies of the three people kidnapped by hamas from that music festival on october the 7th. well, their bodies have now been found in gaza. >> yes. the israeli defence forces confirm that the three bodies were discovered overnight from intelligence gained by interviewing captured hamas fighters . fighters. >> among the three hostages, 22 year old shani louk , whose

year old shani louk, whose remains were, if you remember, photographed when her body was bundled into the back of a pickup truck. >> well, israel thinks that 100 hostages may still be alive, while another 30 are thought to be dead. >> earlier on, we spoke to the defence editor at the evening standard, robert fox . standard, robert fox. >> very peculiar story, because as we know that bodies of victims of the nova , concert victims of the nova, concert were taken back into gaza, even though it seems that they were that they were dying or dead, which is the gruesome aspect to this. but it also underlines , this. but it also underlines, the fact that that the fate of some 40 of the hostages was just simply not known, for months, this , of course, will, aggravate this, of course, will, aggravate the, the tensions between the families of the hostages and the israeli prime minister and his

government, and it's a real point of argument now, as the controversies about the israeli military operation continue, what do we know about the idf's operation in order to get these three bodies out of that tunnel? >> did they know that they were going in to retrieve bodies, or were they hoping to find hostages alive ? hostages alive? >> i think the latter very much, that that's what they, they're really hoping for, is that they got to get, hostages back alive because as sorry. forgive my the frog in my throat, which has been bouncing around there for a long time, but, what they what the israelis had realised , was the israelis had realised, was that they had to do, probing reconnaissance operations to find, the hostages . we know that find, the hostages. we know that the intelligence has been pretty goodin the intelligence has been pretty good in that they've known the whereabouts of quite a number of them. but as i said that it was

always around 40, and it's now around 30 that they don't know where they are . and sadly, they where they are. and sadly, they don't seem to know whether they're alive at all. so the figure is coming down as you rightly announced, they thought there were about 132, hostages still there. they're now saying about 100. and meanwhile, the military operation gets in a way ever more complex because in recent weeks, we've been focusing on getting into rafah in the south, up against the egyptian border, where they think the mass of and it's several thousand quite a number of hamas fighters are including very possibly sinwar the leadership. but then they've had to go back into the north again, where the hamas has started fighting it again. so it's a very elusive, very fluid guerilla force that that they're

fighting. and there has been a terrific destruction in jabalia, which had been really badly hit. that's right in the north of the strip. and i've just been looking at pictures of it just again and it's all but devastated. there's almost nothing standing there in parts of jabalia. and i think that this will go on for quite some time . time. >> robert fox there, thanks very much indeed for that . let's much indeed for that. let's catch up with the weather. now here's alex deakin. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> good morning. welcome to your latest weather update from the met office here on gb news. a bit of a murky start to the weekend for many of us, but most of us will see some warm spells of us will see some warm spells of sunshine today. we're not going to be a few heavy showers around later on. a bit damp and drizzly in parts of the south coast, and as i say, some mist and fog around in places to

parts of the coast of the northeast. sticking with that ha throughout , northeast. sticking with that ha throughout, but most areas brightening up good spells of sunshine. and then later on the likelihood of some scattered but quite heavy showers over parts of south wales and southwest england in the sunny spells 20 degrees 21, 22, maybe 23, in a few spots it will be cooler on some north sea coast, particularly in the far northeast where that mist and low cloud sticks around. and there's the threat of these showers turning quite heavy across devon, cornwall , across devon, cornwall, somerset, parts of south wales as well, not everywhere. seeing them, but where they do develop could drop quite a lot of rain in a short space of time. the shower is much more scattered further east, a few breaking out to over the hills and mountains of scotland. and there's that mist and low cloud that ha threatening to cling to parts of the coast of the east and the north of scotland, suppressing the temperatures. but in the sunny spells in the west of scotland, in the south, temperatures again getting over 20 c. as for this evening, well, still a few heavy showers around across the southwest, so bear that in mind. for most of us, though, are pretty pleasant

summers evening, if you will, the mist and low cloud likely to thicken up and just drift back inland over parts of eastern england . so again making for england. so again making for a fairly murky, misty start for many of us to tomorrow morning. temperatures holding up in double digits in most towns and cities on to sunday and again for the vast majority, it's looking like a fine bright day, starting grey and murky and misty. but that mist and low cloud should disappear. still 1 or 2 showers across southwest england and again over the mountains of scotland. the mist and low cloud will again cling to some eastern coasts, but for the vast majority again dry brightening up sunny spells, developing and feeling warm in that sunshine as well. goodbye >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on . gb news. on. gb news. >> now it's time for the great british giveaway. your chance to win £20,000 in cash all in time for summer, but you got to be in with a chance to win it. here's

he's quit, he's had a bit of a rocky ride these last few months after being partnered with amanda abbington in the last series, and allegedly they didn't , they didn't gel very didn't, they didn't gel very well, should we say. and she's not the only one who's moaned about this. yes, well, there has been two other unnamed individuals who've come forward as well, and they also have had, they had bad experiences with him. so there's someone investigations going underway. and yes , before that, though, and yes, before that, though, the bbc were very much supporting him . so it's come as supporting him. so it's come as a bit of a shock now that he has quit, although he hasn't said anything and he's actually fled to dubai with his girlfriend and he's on holiday at the moment, so we'll just have to see, how things, i guess unfold. >> as far as we know, it's nothing deadly serious. it just seems to be that he might be a bit control ing or just too, too much to handle. too difficult to work with. >> exactly. yes. that's a good

point to make. yes, i think it's more that they were concerned about the strict regimes and training methods , and find them training methods, and find them too tough. and amanda said she now has mild post—traumatic stress disorder. so no. and i actually spoke to her about it. and she said she's vowed never to do any more reality tv again and even received death threats since quitting the show because fans were so enraged. so yeah, it hasn't been a good time for either of them, i guess. >> and what is he actually said? >> and what is he actually said? >> he is leaving. >> he is leaving. >> he is leaving. >> he hasn't said anything, but there has been rumours with locked, leaked documents that show that he won't be returning for the next series. i see, so like i say, he hasn't confirmed or commented on it yet, so we'll have to just. >> i'm sure we'll hear more . >> i'm sure we'll hear more. yeah, yeah. and tell us about alison hammond . yeah. and an alison hammond. yeah. and an engagement i know. >> well , alison, she engagement i know. >> well, alison, she has engagement i know. >> well , alison, she has now got >> well, alison, she has now got a new russian boyfriend , and, he a new russian boyfriend, and, he is significantly younger than

yean >> well, he did go on tour last year, and i mean, at 81, that's quite impressive to still be touring. and also one of his songs, blackbird, was covered by beyonce as well. so i think that has amassed this extra £50 million fortune, which is now soared him to the billionaire status. but he also headlined glastonbury as well two years ago. so he's very much still has his finger on the pulse when it comes to music , and he also beat comes to music, and he also beat the likes of andrew lloyd webber and mick jagger to become the first billionaire musician in in britain. so pretty impressive work , and other others to have work, and other others to have made the millionaire list, the sunday times rich list where the beckhams and elton john love. so they're all i mean, they're all doing great. >> they're all doing quite nice. >> they're all doing quite nice. >> yes. and so much talent on that list as well. >> yes, yes. great as well, isn't it. there is talent as well as successful. it's brilliant. brilliant, lovely to see you. >> thank you. thank you very much. >> right. do stay with us because still to come, we're

of south wales and southwest england in the sunny. spells 20 degrees 21, 22, maybe 23. in a few spots it will be cooler on some north sea coasts, particularly in the far north—east where that mist and low cloud sticks around. and there's the threat of these showers turning quite heavy across devon, cornwall, somerset, parts of south wales as well, not everywhere seeing them, but where they do develop could drop quite a lot of rain in a short space of time. the shower is much more scattered further east, a few breaking out to over the hills and mountains of scotland. and there's that mist and low cloud that ha threatening to cling to parts of the coast of the east and the north of scotland, suppressing the temperatures. but in the sunny spells in the west of scotland, in the south, temperatures again getting over 20 c. as for this evening, well, still a few heavy showers around across the southwest, so bear that in mind . for most of us, that in mind. for most of us, though, a pretty pleasant summer's evening, if you will, the mist and low cloud likely to thicken up and just drift back inland over parts of eastern england. so again , making for england. so again, making for a fairly murky, misty start for many of us to tomorrow morning.

temperatures holding up in double digits in most towns and cities on to sunday and again for the vast majority , it's for the vast majority, it's looking like a fine bright day, starting grey and murky and misty. but that mist and low cloud should disappear. still, 1 or 2 showers across southwest england and again over the mountains of scotland. the mist and low cloud will again cling to some eastern coasts , but for to some eastern coasts, but for the vast majority again dry, brightening up sunny spells, developing and feeling warm in that sunshine. as well. goodbye >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boiler as sponsors of weather on
