Meanwhile, his safety of rwanda bill coming unstuck in Northern Ireland. Ill bring you the details shortly after, the Prime Minister is set to welcome farmers to downing street as he announces new support for agriculture. Agriculture. And as britain entering a new era of naval ship building. Well be asking the defence secretary, grant shapps , at 645, secretary, grant shapps, at 645, ahead of the first sea lords sea power conference. Later today. Power conference. Later today. And it is sport this morning, late come back from aston villa, gives them a33 draw with liverpool and puts them one point away from qualifying for the Champions League. But a win for spurs tonight against Manchester City could hand their rivals arsenal the title. But rivals arsenal the title. But are you following me still leave them with a chance of Champions League . Oh, the dilemma and the run up to tyson furys undisputed world heavyweight championship fight with Oleksandr Usyk. Its tysons dad whos stealing the headlines. Dull, damp day for many today, but it will be brighter for parts of wales and South West England compared to yesterday, and northern scotland may well be the warm spot. Join me later for a full forecast. A very good morning to you, a number of things to talk about today, big wildlife report today, big wildlife report today, and an article for the eye newspaper, which is saying that the heads of the national trust, the Royal Society for the protection of birds, the Wildlife Trust and the Woodland Trust have warned that despite legal targets being set to improve biodiversity by 2030, this country is falling far short of the political will and Financial Investment needed in wildlife. Were going to be reflecting that in the Programme Today is loss of biodiversity. Today is loss of biodiversity. Is british nature in crisis . Okay. And the paper is saying that every Political Party is failing to do anything about wildlife. And its interesting that theres this Farmers Conference at downing street today. Is this a subject that will be raised , or is it the big will be raised, or is it the big taboo that its a huge political miscalculate because the british pubuc miscalculate because the British Public actually really cares about wildlife . About wildlife . We love to see foxes. We love to see hedgehogs, hedgehogs , to see hedgehogs, hedgehogs, badgers, whatever it might be. Sometimes, as you say, thats in conflict with farming, but its really important. Its absolute fabnc really important. Its absolute fabric of britain really having our wildlife healthy and it looks as though having huge problems with that. So, you know, well be talking about that. A good point is Red Squirrels. Who gives a monkeys. They dont care. People dont care. They could do all this. Talk of Red Squirrels are lovely, but they do nothing about protecting them. And they let these rats, these grey squirrels, just infiltrate absolutely everywhere. And theyre not native to this country. So what do you think about the state of your wildlife . Let us know this morning if you want to reflect, if you want to talk about it or is it not important . Well, give us an audit of what you see on a typical week in your garden. You know, what do you look out for out of your window . Do you see a woodpecker quite often . Do you look out for a badger or lots of people in the cities in this country see foxes and enjoy that. So let us know what you see the most of and what you would miss if it disappeared. Birds i like looking at birds. We just got this app where you go out into the garden, put the app on and it tells you all the app on and it tells you all the different song. Yeah. And then it told us five or so birds we didnt even know we had. And at the weekend i heard a cuckoo, an actual cuckoo. I was over the moon with that. Woodpeckers. We hear a lot of woodpeckers. Do you ever hear a woodpecker . Yes. Woodpecker. A woodpecker pecking, so anyway, let us know. Give us an insight to that. Well try and reflect that sort ofidea well try and reflect that sort of idea throughout the programme. Today we begin talking about weight loss and a groundbreaking new study has found drugs like ozempic can reduce the risk of heart and stroke by a fifth. So cardiologists have said that these weight lie in weight loss jabs are the most Significant Development in Heart Disease since 1990 and are a game changer for heart patients. So we hear increasing amounts, dont we, about these weight loss jabs. And increasingly, the benefits that are linked. We should point out though, and perhaps we dont talk enough about the negatives associated with all of this, because i was just chatting to a friend who wants to lose a bit of weight before she has another baby, and there has been this increase in fertility linked to ozempic, and also this increase in birth defects. So its not without its problems. Yes its a game changer if its going to be saving lots of lives, but i dont think its like this cure all, fix everything, you know, probably the best way to lose weight. Always eat less, exercise more. But i think weight. Always eat less, exercise more. But i think in extreme cases this is obviously. What do you mean as it leads to increased fertility . Well women often and men i mean just people are more attractive looking and then they just if youre overweight, sometimes it can make having a baby more difficult. So youre youll notice that if you take a z pak and you start to lose weight, youll suddenly become more fertile , suddenly become more fertile, which is also then led to people getting pregnant without expecting to and then finding that theyre having, these birth defects, which is really, really sad. Its been found in animals. So although the idea is youre to lose weight and look better looking by by losing weight, this is not what this is about today. This is about, Better Heart Health and avoiding things like strokes and. Yeah, and theyre describing it as almost a statin, a new statin, which doesnt involve an invasive procedure because anyone whos had a statin, you know, that goes up through the arm and into the heart, and then it gets inflated and helps with the movement through your arteries. But this just a simple injection in your arm. What . Its not. What is that . What . Its not. What is that . No. Thats Something Else isnt it. No, thats what hes talking about. What am i thinking. My mum tablet. So my mum had a heart attack. And what did she have to through her artery that goes into your veins and inflate. So someone tell me now. Got that muddled with potassium. But its not. Its not called a stanton. Stantons a tablet. Stantons a tablet. Someone help me. Anybody oh, nobody knows what im talking about. Do you know what i mean . When people go and have those blow up in their heart. Yes. Im going to look it up and come back to you on that one. Its not a statin. Sorry. Forgive me. Its early, we havent got a guest to talk about this. You might have guessed. So were talking about it. But we will have guests later on in the programme talking. I could have talked about it perfectly. Go on there. I didnt make a science up there. Okay. Will you keep talking while i look up what its called . Okay, ill tell you about china now. China, you know, its always funny. China does nothing. Never interferes with anything, whatever. And they have reacted furiously, furiously after three men were charged yesterday over spying for hong kong. Yes. And they werent just casual members of the public. Theyd infiltrated the home office and the border force. So we had a Home Office Immigration official among the three accused of carrying out hostile reconnaissance on behalf of the foreign intelligence service. Lets go to our political correspondent. Shell tell us more about this. Good morning. Katherine forster. Good morning, eamonn and isabel. Yes, really quite concerning this, isnt it . So these three have been charged and one of them was working at Heathrow Airport as part of our border force. Another one was working within the home office and on immigration. So quite incredible. The home office have, not surprisingly, launched a review now into their recruitment and vetting procedures, they have been charged , basically with spying charged, basically with spying on hong kong dissidents. Of course, we welcomed over 100,000 hong kongers, into the country. A couple of years ago when i went back to china and china really started behaving in a way which i suppose was to be expected, but will not what was had been agreed with us. These three men are charged with trying to break in to a hong kong dissidents home a couple of weeks ago. Now china , of course, weeks ago. Now china, of course, are saying we strongly condemn the uks unwarranted accusation , the uks unwarranted accusation, but this National Security act that was brought in last year, this was brought in to allow us to counter better threats from hostile states. And tom tugendhat, the security minister, says that its a game changen minister, says that its a game changer. Of course, these charges of these men come not that long after men were charged for spying for china in the heart of westminster. For spying for china in the heart of westminster. So it heart of westminster. So it raises more questions, doesnt it, about the very pervasive influence of china and interference of china within the United Kingdom itself. But of course, were economically so , course, were economically so, entangled with china that it makes standing up to them very, very difficult, thats the dilemma. Thank you very much dilemma. Thank you very much indeed, catherine. Well leave it there, we cant bring you an update on the balloon that blows update on the balloon that blows up inside you and enlarges your veins and things, which is not sin. It is sent god bless your say. Theres a thousand messages going. Its ostend. Isabel. Exclamation mark. Im sorry. Forgive me. So its not being dubbed the new stent. Its being dubbed the new stent. Its being dubbed the new statin. The ozempic jab. So forgive me. We will have experts explaining this a little bit later on. Also on your say this morning, lots of you talking about the wildlife that they love to see. We were talking about the degradation of our wildlife. Kirsty cat says i see foxes , kirsty cat says i see foxes, badgers, deer and have a hedgehogin badgers, deer and have a hedgehog in my Hedgehog House that i built.

I see rabbits and squirrels daily. Sometimes a beaver. Squirrels daily. Sometimes a beaver. A squirrels daily. Sometimes a beaver. A couple of times a stout has turned up. Whats missing is sparrows. And then ruth has said. Leave the grey squirrels alone. They didnt like you taking umbrage at them. And colin has made us laugh this morning saying, send the grey squirrels to rwanda. We probably against their human rights. Theyre basically just grey rats. Thats what they are. Rats. Thats what they are. Theyre not indigenous to the country. And the Red Squirrels is where it should be. There are pockets of Red Squirrels. Theres in wales, for instance. Theres in wales, for instance. Theres a whole area full of them. And you can only really exist on islands and Red Squirrels. Yes. My brothers got Red Squirrels in his garden, but hes highlands of scotland in the middle of nowhere , and they the middle of nowhere, and they see them every day. And thats a real treat for the children. When were up there. But youre absolutely right. Theyre really, really rare. And its really sad. Oh, so anyway, british nature is in crisis. Let us know about that. Is in crisis. Let us know about that. And what are we doing that. And what are we doing about it . I always say this. I say this to any politician. Ill say this to any politician. Ill say to any of them, come on today, they dont care. Theres no votes in it for them. They dont care. They have no dont care. They have no interest. This nonsense where they entertain farmers at downing street, whatever it is, they dont care. They go through this come election time. They pretend they care. They dont pretend they care. They dont care. They dont care about our food supplies. They dont care about our rivers, our farmers in general. Could you do that as a general. Could you do that as a living . That is a tough job to do. But politicians dont care. But come elections they go, oh, weve got to pretend we care about this, but they dont care. About this, but they dont care. Okay, so the Prime Minister is welcoming those farmers this morning to number 10. I care. Its brilliant. Its fantastic. We are friends of the farmers. Its his second uk farm to fork summit. What does it mean . Summit. What does it mean . Nothing. Yeah. As the government has announced support measures to help farmers, our Northern Ireland reporter Dougie Beattie, who knows a thing or two about all of this. Got some cows. Says the real problems they face are not so easy to solve to those not so easy to solve to those not involved in the industry, a picture perfect spring day masks the problems that lie behind our multi billion pound agri sector. For the last decade, farming has faced its Biggest Challenges and most of those came from the environmental legislation and hidden taxation. When the uk left the eu , many of those left the eu, many of those Government Departments stayed close to the workflows and legislation that was set in europe and changed the single farm payment to a reward scheme rather than subsidy. These policies have caused problems throughout the eu. In germany alone, over 2300 farmers have decided to leave the industry. The culling of cattle and wilding of land has saw a substantial drop in productivity, as a drive towards lower carbon and methane targets are enforced. Environmental policies around the cleaning of drains has meant that the water tables have stayed high, and in this last year, not only land but towns have faced flooding and the algae is now appearing in our waterways. The sudden gnnd in our waterways. The sudden grind has meant that slurry storage is now at maximum capacity, and the first cut of silage will be smaller than usual, meaning that winter feed costs will raise even further in the north east of england, many of the winter wheat and barley fields have been washed out, and now the expansive reseeding process must begin once more. Process must begin once more. Rising energy costs have placed pressures on refrigeration , pressures on refrigeration, meaning that the storage of products such as potatoes is no longer financially viable. Grants and tax incentives for Tree Planting schemes have so many tenant farmers leaving industry, with the average working week is 72 hours. If the Prime Minister is to offer real help to farmers, he must look at how his targets will reflect on cash flow and stop rising input costs that have risen to over 35 in the last two years. Dougie beattie gb news. Background dougie james fairlie is a potato farmer , and fairlie is a potato farmer, and hes a host of the farming funny podcast last, and were just having a few difficulties connecting to him, but well try and do that after we bring you and do that after we bring you an update with what else is happening.
