The spanish artists 1932 work a femme le monde, depicts his golden muse, Marie Therese walter. She had an Marie Therese walter. She had an affair with the painter and was affair with the painter and was a subject of many picasso portraits. Well, lets just take portraits. Well, lets just take you straight to liverpool and the labour Party Conference where Angela Rayner is speaking. Lets have a listen to what she has to say. Sometimes it is tiring being a woman in this world, especially under a tory government , but that is why it government, but that is why it falls upon us to continue the work of the last Labour Government standing side by side. So that all of us succeed in battling inequality together. I want to start today with a story. Picture the scene. A baby story. Picture the scene. A baby boy is born destined for eton or harrow. Or winchester. Then at harrow. Or winchester. Then at oxford , when he walks into the oxford, when he walks into the houses of parliament, he feels no imposter syndrome , only the no imposter syndrome, only the feeling that he is home. He is exactly where he should be. He doesnt struggle to make his voice heard , no hesitation to voice heard, no hesitation to steal a well made pint and call it his own. On the other side of it his own. On the other side of the country , a girl is growing the country, a girl is growing up on a Council Estate in poverty. She taught that women poverty. She taught that women do certain things and men do others to put everyone else first. Overlook looked undervalued and underestimated. Undervalued and underestimated. She will never walk in the corridors of westminster. It is corridors of westminster. It is not the place for her. Only thats not what happens. She thats not what happens. She joins a union. She learns the power of workers coming together to fight for more. Power of workers coming together to fight for more. A labour to fight for more. A Labour Government introduces the minimum wage. Government introduces the minimum wage. She can afford minimum wage. She can afford more than one meal a day. A more than one meal a day. A Labour Government builds council, houses. She gets the council, houses. She gets the keys to her first home to stability. A Labour Government stability. A Labour Government introduces the equal pay act. She gets a pay rise enough so that she can save and conference a Labour Government builds a sure start centre at the end of her road where she learns to be a good mum. She meets other young mums and finds the power in each other and in the end that girl who goes from her Council Estate to the parliamentary estate. Conference parliamentary estate. Conference like so many of us in this room today. I will not be standing here today without a Labour Government. Labour here is the party of equality of the equality act of equal pay and of sure start. I am proud to say that in the labour party today we have more women mps than men. And with rachels eyes fixed on being the first woman chancellor we are turning the tide of history. Chancellor we are turning the tide of history. We but tide of history. We but conference a battle isnt won. There still arent enough women around the table. It is not enough for us to cling onto our seats and celebrate the fight it took us to get there. You only need to look at the horrific acts of powerful men abusing young women and hiding in plain sight. This young women and hiding in plain sight. This is why the next Labour Government will fight for every girl in this country to have a Bright Future , to stand have a Bright Future, to stand up for every woman, and to break the Glass Ceiling and the Glass Ceiling. In conference. Our new ceiling. In conference. Our new deal for working people will make work more family friendly. Crack down on unfair pay and improve access to justice for those discriminated against at work and as i was pleased to announce today, labour will properly tackle Sexual Harassment at work. As shocking , two thirds of young women have been sexually harassed at work. This must change. Thats why the next Labour Government will amend the equality act to introduce a legal duty for employers to take all reasonable steps to stop Sexual Harassment before it starts. But thats not all. We will make misogyny a hate crime. We will toughen hate crime. We will toughen sentences for perpetrators of rape and stalking and half the level of violence against women and girls. Women. Women are suffering the awful symptoms of menopause at work will get the support that they deserve. We will empower women entrepreneurs. And we will tackle the crisis in Womens Health by training 7500 more doctors and 10,000 more nurses and midwives each year. Yean Angela Rayner speaking there, deputy Prime Minister of the labour party and shadow levelling up secretary. Shes kicking off proceedings with the labour partys Women Conference there before the full summit that starts tomorrow. Equality a big message here from angela raynen big message here from Angela Rayner. She is saying today theyre going to make misogyny a hate crime , tougher sentences hate crime, tougher sentences for perpetrator of rape and support , but more support for support, but more support for women suffering menopause. So a big drive here for equality, for women. And her pointing out that there are more women mps than men in the labour party. So Angela Rayner speaking there. I think keir starmer to appear later on. We will of course bnng later on. We will of course bring that to you as well. His keynote speech, of course on tuesday, the labour Party Conference starting tomorrow in for full five days, will of course be bringing you that to you here at gb news. Just a quick reminder of our top story , though, here this morning. Thousands of rockets have been fired into israel from the gaza strip in a surprise attack by the Hamas Militant Group this morning. Large plumes of black morning. Large plumes of black smoke could be seen rising from a number of israeli towns. Israeli defence minister saying hamas has launched a war and its troops were fighting against the enemy at every location. We know enemy at every location. We know so far that one person has been killed and there have been reports of explosions near tel aviv and areas surrounding gaza. So this is a developing story. We will, of course bring you more on this story as well throughout the morning here at gb news. Now, though, thats it from me back to esther and phil. All. Thanks, tamsen. All. Thanks, tamsen. Now to look through the top stories of the day to talk about that israel story and the implications of it were joined by former labour mp Simon Danczuk and celebrity chef and Award Winning presenter Kevin Woodford. So shall we begin with woodford. So shall we begin with you on that news there . Simon yeah, this is really significant, isnt it . The attacks in israel, i put my cards on the table. Im a Founding Member of labour friends for palestine , and ive friends for palestine, and ive been out to the region on a couple of occasions, and there is an argument for palestine. But this attack from hamas into israel, i mean, it isnt an act of terrorism. It looks quite clearly like an act of war. I mean, thats the reality of it. Its very significant. I know hamas media is displayed videos of the bodies of Israeli Soldiers as weve got palestine media has already reported that theyve taken soldiers captive. Where do you think this will go . What do you think this will go . What do you think about the implications, us and the People Living there, the families as its always the same, isnt it, in a situation of terrorism or war. So its the its the innocent individuals that are really going to suffer. I mean, already you can see theres this sort of scramble to get supplies and to lock themselves away and keep themselves safe. Its a horrendous situation. And were going back. I mean, this is going back. I mean, this is a day after the 1973 anniversary, right, of the war that that that that brought the defeat that this is all about. This has gone on for so long. Its horrific. On for so long. Its horrific. Mark, my heart goes out to the people that are really struggling out there and the fear that they must be going through at the moment. You know, this is the minute anybody mentions war, it must bring terror and horror through peoples hearts. Honestly, it really must do. I mean, simon, like you, ive been out to israel and palestine and spoken to both sides of the conflict. Really. I mean, is there is there ever going to be an end . I mean, is there a path to ending this particular conflict, do you think, or are we destined just to have this repeated time and again . We repeated time and time again . We its the extremist element on the palestinian side , hamas, the palestinian side, hamas, that dont seem to enable any solution to this. These attacks that we see today are unfolding before our eyes clearly heighten, escalate the troubles there and israel will quite rightly respond. I mean, this isnt a random act of terrorism. This is almost war. And we wont have a solution if terrorism. This is almost war. And we w m and we w hamas acts in the way that they are doing today. And gb news will be keeping everybody to date with that everybody up to date with that story. But looking at your story of what was in the of the day, what was in the papers that caught your eye . Kevin i fear for this country because im i used to smoke years ago and i stopped many, many years ago. Right. And now weve got a situation where what age did you start . I started when i was 15. And you know, and it was the right thing at that time to do because it was cool and everybody doing it. And everybody was doing it. And i stopped when i was 22. Thankfully so im not a fan of smoking at all, but im also not a fan of things being imposed upon us band banning us from doing things. And boris sums it doing things. And boris sums it up nicely. I think doing things. And boris sums it up nicely. I think in doing things. And boris sums it up nicely. I think in both the up nicely. I think in both the mail and the times where he talks about this is a monstrous waste potential of police time, he talks about a new era of prohibition. Where do we go prohibition. Where do we go next . Do we do we start banning red meat . Do we ban sex . Do we ban . No. Do we . Is it bad . Ban . No. Do we . Is it bad . How are you going to check whether anybody is doing that . Weve got cameras in the house. The thing where do you go with this . The thing is i mean, the thing is here, i mean, i saw boriss article today saying that this ban on smoking is ludicrous, rishi announced that this ban on smoking is lud conference, rishi announced that this ban on smoking is lud conference, which |nnounced that this ban on smoking is lud conference, which asounced that this ban on smoking is lud conference, which as it nced his conference, which as it happens, i to with happens, i tend to agree with boris. But course, boris is boris. But of course, boris is the who introduced the the guy who introduced all the restriction during covid and restriction ins during covid and banned everybody from doing anything hes the one anything at all. Hes the one who who was wanting to ban, buy one, one free offers in the one, get one free offers in the supermarket, you would say is he must that must have learned from that particular period in his professional life. Want the scary thing but i want the scary thing for me is this could lead for me is that this could lead to it does develop as theyre to if it does develop as theyre suggesting, if youve got a situation where youve got a 41 year old standing outside a shop and a 40 year old who, you know, can you go and buy me some can you go buy me some cigarettes . And then where do we get the undennorld . Then they could make a fortune out of this because weve and weve weve got prohibition and weve got little sleazy, got sort of little sleazy, little bars tucked away little smoking bars tucked away in alleyways, dark and in little alleyways, dark and seedy. What you make of it, all what do you make of it, all of this change, though, after lockdown, now status lockdown, this now status interfering lives from interfering with your lives from six people around a table that you could have getting home for 10 00 . You could have getting home for 10 00� this all part of this . Is is this all part of this . Is this where flown from . This where its flown from . I think it has. And i think im amazed that its coming from a government. Im amazed that its coming from a labourzrnment. Im amazed that its coming from a labourzrnm support presumably labour will support this they. Well, they this when they. Well, they probably imagine probably will. I can imagine starmer others enjoying this starmer and others enjoying this and supporting it. And completely supporting it. Youre kevin. Youre going to. Im with kevin. Youre going to. Im with kevin. Youre to people youre going to have people claiming they are older claiming that they are older than they actually than what they actually are so they carry smoking. They can carry on smoking. We usually. We usually. Simon lady would ever do simon no lady would ever do that. Trust me, we wont be doing unless youre under doing that unless youre under 80. Other thing is weve 80. But the other thing is weve got ludicrous position now, got a ludicrous position now, havent we . Youve these havent we . Youve got these rooms glasgow where you can rooms in glasgow where you can take heroin and you can do that lawfully, but were going to ban smoking. Going to have it smoking. Youre going to have it where cannabis, but where you can have cannabis, but you have smoking. So you you cant have smoking. So you can have cannabis, its can have the cannabis, but its going illegal the going to be illegal to get the baccy to go with it. So we know that people will carry on smoking whether they do so we know that people will caillegallyioking whether they do so we know that people will caillegally or ing whether they do so we know that people will ca
