What theirjumpers and duvets warm. What about the principle of Means Testing, are you against that completely . The argument for Liz Kendall is that theres not much money to go round therefore we have to target it at those who really need it and there are very wealthy pensioners who do not need this money, so where do you stand on the principle . The principle . There are many eole the principle . There are many peeple who the principle . There are many People who receive the principle . There are many People who receive the the principle . There are manyj People who receive the Winter-fuel'>Winter Fuel People who receive the Winter-fuel'>Winter Fuel payment that do not need it but Fuel Payment that do not need it but the Fuel Payment that do not need it but the more progressive way of dealing with this would be putting of dealing with this would be putting this into taxation so those putting this into taxation so those with the broader shoulders pay more but also looking shoulders pay more but also looking at how you can schedule and target more support around People and target more support around People on and target more support around People on low incomes, with tiasic People on low incomes, with basic pensions, because it is an opt basic pensions, because it is an opt in basic pensions, because it is an opt in scheme, and it is hard an opt in scheme, and it is hard to an opt in scheme, and it is hard to capture all of those People hard to capture all of those People that need it, and that is why People that need it, and that is why the Winter-fuel'>Winter Fuel payment provides is why the Winter-fuel'>Winter Fuel payment provides the protection for everyone and we should be bringing everyone and we should be bringing back a bit more for those bringing back a bit more for those People.

T Hat Government to protect them. That is government to protect them. That is one of the other criticisms, this came out of the blue, the Impact Assessment and a lot of conservatives say, where is the Impact Assessment, bringing something in where we do not know the consequences. They should have been an Impact Assessment published so we could assessment published so we could scrutinise it and also the could scrutinise it and also the Social Security Advisory Committee should have done diligence on the measures before diligence on the measures before they came up for debate, so bring before they came up for debate, so bring this forward when the committee is going to be sitting committee is going to be sitting tomorrow is premature. The debate continues because it will he the debate continues because it will he in the debate continues because it will be in the house of Lords Tomorrow will be in the house of Lords Tomorrow and there will be an interesting debate in that place. Interesting debate in that place, may be more People are tuned place, may be more People are tuned to place, may be more People are tuned to where pensioners are, but also tuned to where pensioners are, but also making sure that the scrutiny but also making sure that the scrutiny is on these measures as Well Scrutiny is on these measures as well and there is much work to he as well and there is much work to he done as well and there is much work to be done but we have to be conscious to be done but we have to be conscious that those People who are missing out now on the protection do need the government to step in and provide government to step in and provide the resilience which they provide the resilience which they will need to keep them warm they will need to keep them warm this Winter.

We will try to find out but as it stands the measure has gone through and so one of the first policy announcements made by this government has gone through, and for the wider approach to the economy we have got to wait to The End of october and the First Budget from Rachel Reeves. , w , First Budget from Rachel Reeves. , w ,. , First Budget from Rachel Reeves. ,. , ~. , reeves.

We have to speak to all of them to find | speak to all of them to find out, that is the truth when it comes to looking through the numbers, because the government has such a huge majority, even if several have not supported it, it has still gone through in big numbers, but it then it becomes about the atmosphere in The Party and the Run Up to the budget, that will be a huge moment for Rachel Reeves, and the keir starmer, some of the other measures they will want to bring in, so there is a lot of pressure being put on Them Ijy of pressure being put on them by the unions and by Labour Mps and i think because the proposal was announced in isolation and it was the first big announcement that was made, it has got a lot of attention over the summer and now into the autumn and it affects millions of People. So that is why it has drawn so much attention and that is alongside the fact that the government can pretty much get through what it wants, it is not like when we had these wafer thin majority is, but there will be concern in Downing Street about the strong feelings that People like Rachel Maskell have.

Another piece of breaking news, a coroner said there is no Causal Link between there is no Causal Link between the appearance of the portsmouth man Steve Diamond on the Jeremy Kyle Show and portsmouth man Steve Diamond on theJeremy Kyle Show and his death, at the coroner ruled out his treatment on the Talk Show as a Contributory Factor. Steve diamond was found dead in May 2019, week after a Lie Detector Test during a recording which showed he had lied about cheating on his partner, seemingly. Duncan, can you explain what the coroner has said. ,. ,. , said. He put into context the whole story. Said. He put into context the whole story, and said. He put into context the whole story, and he said. He put into context the whole story, and he went. Whole story, and he went through fax of the week long inquest begin with the events that took place in May 2019 when Steve Diamond appeared on thejeremy when Steve Diamond appeared on the Jeremy Kyle when Steve Diamond appeared on theJeremy Kyle Show in order to take a Lie Detector Test to prove he was not cheating on his partner. The show was never broadcast and we have played clips of it during the course of the evidence here and it showed Steve Diamond failed the Lie Detector Test and became very emotional, so to his partner, and Jeremy Kyle was doing his presenting, accusing Steve Diamond of lying, it was all very emotional. And then we also heard that a week after taking part in this programme, Steve Diamond was found dead at his home in portsmouth. The coroner to date has effectively ruled out a link between Steve Diamonds appearance on the Jeremy Kyle Show any subsequent death and he made clear that Steve Diamond had a long history of Mental Health Problems and he said we heard during the evidence that he had taken a Drug Overdose on at least four occasions and had been sectioned at least once. His appearance on the show was not a Contributory Factor to his death, and the coroner said Steve Diamond new theJeremy Kyle Show and knew what the style of presenting was like. The coroner said, there is an absence of reliable evidence that demonstrates that Steve Diamonds appearance on the Jeremy Kyle Show probably caused or contributed to his death, and to do so would be speculative, and he went on to say, im not satisfied that events on theJeremy Kyle Show gave rise to a clear link that caused or contributed to the death of Steve Diamond, such that i should be recording this is a Contributory Factor. So essentially, he is separating the programme from the events that happened after that when within a week of the recording of the tragic death of Steve Diamond took place at Up Reaction from Jeremy Kyle, and a representative on his behalf has said, he is now exonerated of the ill informed accusation and his name has been finally cleared. Lawyers for the family of Steve Diamond came out and gave a short statement on their main point was, the only good thing to come out of all of this is that theJeremy Kyle Show was cancelled. Itv cancelled the show in the wake of the death of Steve Diamond, just a few days later after he died, and it never came back after a Ia Year Run and Jeremy Kyle works for Talk Television and so far this afternoon his only reaction has been put out the saying he was glad it is all over and that his name has been finally cleared. Than . All over and that his name has been finally cleared. Any more otential been finally cleared. Any more potential legal been finally cleared. Any more potential legal proceedings potential legal proceedings linked to this case or does this draw a line under it . I think this draws a line under it insofar as anybody watching this in terms of legal matters might have been looking for queues taken from of the coroner, it was within his powers and gift to make criticism, but he essentially said that the right process was followed by itv and Steve Diamond knew what he was getting into when he appeared on theJeremy Kyle Show. He had a long history of mental Health Illness and as far as the coroner is concerned, that is The End of the matter and there was no Causal Link between what happened to Steve Diamond and his appearance on theJeremy Kyle Show. During the course of the inquest which has lasted the inquest which has lasted the last week or so, members of Steve Diamonds family said he was very unhappy about appearing on the show and his son gave evidence saying that his father felt he had been grown under a bus by his appearance on the show. But the coroner was very clear to saying there was no Causal Link between Steve Diamonds appearance on the show, and his dad, and it was more down to his pre existing mental Health Condition which went back many years and which was extremely serious no Causal Link between Steve Diamonds appearance on the show and his death. ,. ,. , tony and myself will be Travelling To Kyiv this week, the firstjoint Travelling To Kyiv this week, the first joint visit of this kind for over a decade.

Antony blinken and David Lammy also talked about the war in gaza. The hamas run Health Ministry in gaza says 19 palestinians have been killed in an israeli strike on a designated humanitarian zone. Local reports say at least 60 more who were sheltering in the Displacement Camp at Al Mawasi, in the South West of the strip, were injured. Israels military says it targeted what it called a Hamas Command centre. Mike thompson reports. Not long past midnight, devastation came from the sky. Eyewitnesses say at least four israeli missiles struck this sprawling, overcrowded Tent Camp along the gaza coast. Around 20 tents were obliterated, burying many who had been sleeping beneath sand and rubble. It wasnt until dawn that the scale of the destruction at Al Mawasi began to become clear. Deep craters, some as much as nine metres across, Bear Witness to what for many had been a night of horror. Translation we saw women and children cut in pieces. Many died. There are still People missing. Al mawasi is a designated humanitarian safe zone but that seems a meaningless term there today. This woman is the mother of ten children. Translation death surrounds us in every place and we dont know where to go. We are dying slowly. Israelis, please just kill us. Finish us off. We are not living. The Israeli Military insists it successfully targeted a Hamas Command and Control Centre at Al Mawasi. Every effort, the army also said, had been taken to minimise civilian casualties, using extensive intelligence, precise munitions and aerial surveillance. But thats not reflected in the many haunted faces there. Translation the israelis told us to come here. We believed them and came. But everything i had is now gone. Please find us a solution. We are peaceful People. We dont have anything to do with the hamas resistance. L with little sign yet of a gaza ceasefire deal, the suffering of these People and others all Over Gaza goes on.

Studio we have got to come out of that report because of a technical issue. Let me update you on information on the Winter-fuel'>Winter Fuel payments. The vote happened after a pretty heated debate in the House Of Commons that began at around 130. The government was never expected to lose because they have a huge majority and they won by 3a8 votes against 228 with a Government Majority of 120. That is less than the full Working Majority. No vote recorded a53 Labour Mps and one voted against for 53. Some other mps would have been on official business so not able to vote, including hilary benn, Stephen Doughty and Nick Thomas amongst others.

We can talk to Stephen Flynn of the snp. Your party was against the snp. Your party was against the idea of Means Testing the Winter-fuel'>Winter Fuel allowance, so what about the argument from the government, that there is not enough money to go around so that those who need it most should be the ones targeted .

I have come from the House Of Commons have come from the house of Commons Chamber where the labour Commons Chamber where the Labour Party have voted to take away Labour Party have voted to take away the Labour Party have voted to take away the Winter-fuel'>Winter Fuel payment from away the Winter-fuel'>Winter Fuel payment from People with an income of 12000 from People with an income of 12000 and 13,000, £14,000 per year. 12000 and 13,000, £14,000 per year, 50 12000 and 13,000, £14,000 per year, so they are not wealthy, they year, so they are not wealthy, they are year, so they are not wealthy, they are having vital financial support they are having vital financial support removed when The Cost Of Living support removed when The Cost Of Living crisis is still fighting and this is in stark Contrast Fighting and this is in stark contrast to the Change Message which contrast to the Change Message which the contrast to the Change Message which the Labour Party delivered in advance of the election delivered in advance of the election and in scotland we were election and in scotland we were promised by the leader of the scottish Labour Party that they the scottish Labour Party that they would be no austerity and no cuts, they would be no austerity and no cuts, but what we have seen today no cuts, but what we have seen today is no cuts, but what we have seen today is an no cuts, but what we have seen today is an abdication of that Promise Today is an abdication of that promise that the Labour Party made promise that the Labour Party made to promise that the Labour Party made to the People of scotland and this made to the People of scotland and this has happened just a few weeks after the election. Others few weeks after the election. Others would argue that if you look at the total amount of money being given to pensioners, there has been a significant rise in the State Pension and they had the Triple Lock which protects pensioners up lock which protects pensioners up to a point and that will rise again next year, so if you look at the overall amount, that does not amount to austerity.
