James Blunt in their latest effort to repel protesters who are camped outside of parliament.The demonstrators, who are angry at COVID-19 vaccine mandates, have been blocking the streets of the country’s capital, Wellington, since Tuesday (February 8).Tactics used by the local authorities to try and get rid of the protesters have included turning on the water sprinklers on the lawn where they camped. But protesters retaliated by digging trenches and building makeshift drainpipes to re-route the water, according to BBC News.When the sprinkler tactic proved ineffective, police turned to blasting out Barry Manilow‘s greatest hits, which include ‘Mandy’ and ‘Could It Be Magic’, on a 15-minute loop from one of parliament’s loudspeakers, as well as the ’90s Spanish hit ‘Macarena’ and a number of vaccine messages.After catching wind of what was happening, Blunt offered his services to New Zealand authorities via Twitter.

Were you?"Charlie quietly confessed that he had, turning away as Naga asked him what he'd had to write out.But he didn't answer, instead asking: "Shall I write one for you now that you need to write out 100 times through the programme?"Naga laughed at the suggestion, before agreeing to go along with it, saying: "Okay, let's see what he comes up with."Charlie asked viewers to suggest their own lines for what Naga should write, but soon had a change of heart.Naga agreed, looking directly at the camera with a cautious look, saying: "No, let's not do that.

TV CHEF Tom Kerridge called out presenter Naga Munchetty for apparently “pulling a face” after he revealed his favourite pub grub on today’s BBC Breakfast.  Tom, 48, appeared on the popular BBC morning show to talk about the return of Pub in the Park later this year following disruptions during the pandemic.  As the celeb chef discussed the hit music and street food festival, hosted by Michelin star chefs, Naga asked: "If you could only ever have one pub meal for the rest of your life what would it be?" The owner of the Hand and Flowers, the only UK pub with two Michelin stars, answered: "I mean, it's got to be fish and chips hasn't it? It's well known throughout the world. And if it’s done properly, fish and chips is just the greatest thing out there”.

BBC Breakfast.The You're Beautiful singer appeared on the BBC morning show on Friday (February 4) to promote his 2022 tour featuring some of his Greatest Hits.He pulled a joke to tell some "bad news" to hosts Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt that he's signed a new record deal.But the interview took a strange turn when Charlie made a comment about the chart-topper's appearance.Charlie asked: "You appear to be getting younger. Can I reflect on that for a moment? "Looking at that video and looking at you now… what’s going on?"James answered: "Well, you know, I think with plastic surgery it’s little and often is the technique I would advise."Charlie giggled and continued: "As you well know, some people will think that’s a double bluff."But the singer-songwriter looked him in the eye and replied: "It's not, no...

BBC Breakfast appeared to become tense when the topic of clothing was addressed by host Naga Munchetty on Thursday's show.Naga, 44, had pinpointed that she and weather expert Carol has almost coordinated their attire - which was quite fitting with many topics on the programme.The TV pair had unknowingly both opted to wear on-trend animal print blouses.Highlighting that Charlie had missed out on the theme, Naga said: "So we've spoken about elephants so far in the programme and there is an animal theme going on but you didn't seem to get the memo.Not taking the hint, Charlie remarked: "About?""The animal print," pointed out his co-star."Ahh okay, okay," he smiled."That's the penny dropping," joked Naga.Pointing to the presenter's blouse, Charlie asked: "This one is what?""Urghhhhh," sighed Naga before reluctantly responding with one word which was: "zebra."Charlie commented: "Is it? Is it now? It's not exactly zebra though is it.He insisted: "That's not zebra, zebras have stripes."Holding her hand on her head in shock, Naga appeared to be lost for words as she remained silent on the matter."Have we got a picture of a zebra? Or can we get up a picture of a zebra just to clarify?" Charlie asked the crew for back-up on the subject."We would normally have a picture of a zebra on standby for this moment in case it happens," he added.With weather expert Carol Kirkwood now in the frame he pointed at Naga's top: "That apparently is a zebra Carol," before turning his attention to the meteorologist who was also wearing animal print.He asked the weather reporter: "What's that?"Naga fumed: "Really, you're really asking?"Carol who appeared on the screen could not withhold her giggles as she replied: "It's a leopard.

Naga Munchetty was unimpressed with Charlie's attempt to guess what had been shown in her picture during a newspaper segment on Thursday's show.The BBC Breakfast newsreader, 46, had held up an image from a publication and asked Charlie to have a stab at what he thought he could see.Stunned at his response, Naga informed her co-star that laughter had erupting in her ear after he'd suggested "flying fish" - which inevitably couldn't have been further from the mark."Ok, what do you see here? Don't read the words," said Naga.After studying the image for a moment, Charlie responded: "It looks like fish flying in some kind of formation."Looks like flying fish under water that's what it looks like to me. How am I doing so far?"Not even cracking a smile, Naga hit back at his foolish response: "So you're hearing all of the laughter in our ears and in the studio floor yeah?"Charlie became insistent that his answer had been valid, he said: "There are such thing as flying fish, I know there's a lot of ridicule lurking around but there are such thing as flying fish.""Ok, let's take a closer look.

BBC Breakfast host Naga Munchetty left fans fuming over a "ludicrous" comment she made about the Highway Code on Saturday's episode of BBC Breakfast.Speaking about the newly introduced Highway Code rules, Naga and co-presenter Charlie Stayt were discussing what this means for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. The Highway Code's new rules have seen the introduction of a hierarchy of road users, which will see pedestrians take the top spot, with cyclists, horse riders and motorcyclists just behind.Cars, taxis, vans and minibuses will then follow respectively.Drivers now "must give way" to pedestrians crossing, or waiting to cross, at a junction, and are urged "not to cut across cyclists" at junctions when changing lanes.On BBC Breakfast Naga made a comment, which sparked fury among viewers as she said: "There's this rule now, where if a pedestrian is crossing at a certain point cars need to give way, for example.
