play gb news. now back to. emily >> welcome to gb news live. now rishi sunak's promised to take on whoever is standing in the way of the rwanda plan that comes as sacked home secretary suella braverman claims that tinkering with a failed plan will not stop the boats as she set out her own plan to end the deadlock over deportation flights. now senior tory damian green has slammed her controversial proposals, arguing their unconcern lviv accusing her of wanting to act like putin. so who's right? can rishi sunak get a grip on this problem? let's cross to westminster and speak with our political correspondent olivia hartley. olivia, presumably you were just listening to the prime minister rishi sunak, speaking at bolsover school there. what did he have to say ? did he have to say? >> well, he was explaining how his planned emergency legislation will be enough to get the flight moving, if not

before the next election. they seem to have slightly given up on that promise . then sometime on that promise. then sometime in the near future. it was mostly rhetoric, that statement. it was about how he's he's fed up. he knows that the rest of the country is fed up. everything that we've heard before. and essentially, he was just laying out again what he said in commons a couple of said in the commons a couple of days which was he has a new days ago, which was he has a new sort pronged approach to sort of two pronged approach to circumnavigate his way around this supreme court judgement. first, at the memorandum , which first, at the memorandum, which has been agreed with rwanda , has been agreed with rwanda, will be sort of promote it to a treaty. so it's a slightly different document . and that different document. and that will mean that rwanda has a more of a duty to make sure that migrants who come to the country through the through the scheme are given due process. then secondly , he the house of secondly, he the house of commons, will be given more leeway . so he's got this, he's leeway. so he's got this, he's got this double pronged approach . the this country will be able

to deem rwanda a safe country. that was one of the problems that the supreme court had, that the rwanda was not a safe country. that's his proposal . country. that's his proposal. and that's what he was repeating today. suella braverman's blistering article in the telegraph this morning essentially says that that's not good she says that this good enough. she says that this is not plan b, it's just a tweaked version of plan she tweaked version of plan a. she says if we're actually says that if we're actually expected off. expected the flight to take off. and interestingly , she too, is expected the flight to take off. and sayingtingly , she too, is expected the flight to take off. and saying that( , she too, is expected the flight to take off. and saying that that|e too, is expected the flight to take off. and saying that that istoo, is now saying that that is impossible well before an election. britain will have to basically exempt itself entirely from the sort of niceties of human rights laws. now, damian green , a former deputy prime green, a former deputy prime minister under theresa may, a real moderate in the party, has hit back at what suella braverman has said, essentially saying that circumnavigation one's way around the law is something that putin or xie jinping would do. and i've actually spoken to some tories who are far to the right of who are far more to the right of the who with damian the party who agree with damian green. say that the problem green. they say that the problem with sort of arguing your way around laws of disapplying laws

when you want to is that it's all very well when it's your people in charge. but what if under a labour and snp coalition, the government decided to find a way around the supreme court law for ordering against a second scottish referendum? so there are real dangers with trying to get one's way around the law. it'll be interesting to see how much support . suella braverman to the support. suella braverman to the emergency legislation that rishi sunakis emergency legislation that rishi sunak is going to be tabling next week. and it's quite possible that some right wing mps way in behind suella braverman an and make some sort of amendment to the effect of that piece in the telegraph today. that piece in the telegraph today . so the problems that today. so the problems that suella braverman is causing are far from over for the prime minister. >> yes. meanwhile , while we >> yes. and meanwhile, while we watch and listen to this infighting tory party infighting within the tory party over this policy, the rest of us, the british public, at least , will be getting more and more frustrated. what was quite clear from that interview with rishi

sunakis from that interview with rishi sunak is that he very much shares frustration . but as shares that frustration. but as we say, time and time again, the conservatives have been in government for long government for rather a long time. wanted to get to time. if they wanted to get to gnps time. if they wanted to get to grips problem , they grips with this problem, they could done suella braverman could have done suella braverman how different is her proposal from what rishi sunak is proposing? because presumably rishi sunak too is trying to circumvent the courts ? circumvent the courts? >> well, absolutely. so suella braverman's proposal is different in that rishi sunak has a number of notwithstanding clauses that they're called, to try and sort of get his way around the legislation. suella braverman it would be a more wholesale britain essentially exempting itself from most of these treaties which which prevent it the deportation. so it would be a more wide ranging piece of legislation and i think important partly what it would do is it would pave the way for britain to leave the european court of human rights altogether , something which suella

braverman has been advocating for quite a long time now . for quite a long time now. >> and we know that a significant minority and perhaps even over half of people were supportive of the rwanda plan in in theory. it's interesting to see how the conservative vote is being squeezed. the reform party's average vote now up to 103% from just over 5% a month ago. it's hard not to see that that that is probably due to this policy, not getting off the ground in part, at least . ground in part, at least. >> well, absolutely. and i think also, i mean, suella braverman has made her case in the telegraph this morning. she it's a really blistering attack on the government in which she essentially says that have essentially says that they have missed a lot of opportunities. we're now nearly at the end of november . they could have seen november. they could have seen this coming. they could have put this coming. they could have put this legislation. they could have put this legislation in place before they pushed the rwanda policy through. the problem with that is problem with that argument is that braverman was, of that suella braverman was, of course, home secretary for course, the home secretary for most of this period. and before

that she was the attorney general boris johnson. general under boris johnson. so if foresaw these if she foresaw all of these legal problems coming, coming , legal problems coming, coming, why didn't something why didn't she do something about herself ? think about it herself? and i think telegraph readers looking at that this morning and that piece this morning and gb news watched today, news viewers watched this today, will think , well, on will think, well, hang on a minute , suella braverman was in minute, suella braverman was in charge. she had her chance and she didn't take it, which is probably as you say, the probably why, as you say, the reform polls are surging . reform polls are surging. >> presumably she'll say that she wasn't given the opportunity or she was not allowed to make these changes that she wanted to. but our viewers and listeners decide on that one. thank you very much indeed, olivia utley, our political correspondent, from correspondent, live from westminster. so on the week rishi vowed to get his rishi sunak vowed to get his rwanda scheme back on track and stop boats. gb news can stop the boats. gb news can reveal that around 1000 people have crossed in small boats in recent days alone. a break in the weather at the beginning of the weather at the beginning of the week and again yesterday. saw around 20 small boats make the from france. more the crossing from france. more channel migrants are expected to attempt later today.

attempt to cross later today. our home and security editor mark white is in dover to show us the reality of the problem. a thousand boats in just a few days. >> yes. and i mean the boats coming here to dover is very visible manifestation of this crisis and the government's failure to do as it said it would , which is to stop the would, which is to stop the boats. now, of course, rishi sunak says that every opportunity that he is making progress, that the number of boats crossing the channel now is about a third down on where we were at this time last year. and that is true, but it's still . 27,700 people who have crossed the english channel illegally in these small boats, including around a thousand. just this week. and we're told that with the weather conditions, very goodin the weather conditions, very good in the channel today, they're just waiting for change in the tide, which is happening very shortly. and then there

will be more boats taking to the water again today to cross the channel. so yes, the numbers are down. this year. next year, they could be up again because i think a lot of it is talking to channel watchers here is really down to the fact that we've had such unpredictable and difficult weather in the channel for many, many months now. we've had prevailing north, north easterly winds , which have the effect of winds, which have the effect of pushing against the beaches of northern france, making it more difficult for these boats to come across. and it also sort of whips up against the prevailing tides in the channel and makes for choppier conditions out in the channel, which again makes it very difficult for these flimsy inflatables to cross that stretch of water. so, you know, another year when we have actually better weather conditions in the channel, we could see many more crossing than than have done this far thus far. but as i say, you

know, we're pushing close to 28,000 now. so far this year. and if we get a run of good weather and the rest of november and even into december, then a good few thousand more will be added to that total. without a doubt. >> and the government talks up a lot. the number of crossings that have been prevented from our ongoing cooperation with france when the government says they've stopped x amount of boats from crossing over, the channel boats from crossing over, the channel, does that mean that they've stopped those people from cross later ? from attempting to cross later? just because you stop one boat from crossing doesn't mean those people reattempt so . people won't reattempt to do so. so no, you highlight exactly what is a complete nonsense about this claim. >> it's like when we had still a very significant problem with people going into the backs of lorries to cross the english channel. they still do, but not to the same degree the government used to hale how they'd stopped x thousand people getting on lorries. well, all

that was happening was these people were not arrested . they people were not arrested. they were briefly detained . then they were briefly detained. then they were briefly detained. then they were allowed to go free again and they would just try the next again evening. well, it's very similar to in the way that the small boats are working because they're not even detained. the vast majority of them. when the french police perhaps get to a boat and manage to puncture it, they just scarpered off into the dunes, regroup . and then a day dunes, regroup. and then a day or two later, when another boat becomes available, they are put onto that boat. so it's really not stopping them. it's delaying them. yes. but these people aren't suddenly heading back to their country of origin . they're their country of origin. they're still there. they're still determined to get to the uk, but they're just doing it later. >> well, thank you for highlighting the government spin on on this one. can i ask you what you make of the disagreements? let's say, between rishi sunak and suella braverman in terms of what they think the best thing to do is in

terms of getting this rwanda scheme off the ground . are you scheme off the ground. are you more by rishi sunak? more convinced by rishi sunak? he says that what he wants to do is not tinkering with the rwanda plan. he says he's going to what did he say? he said, i'll take on anyone who stands in the way. are you convinced about that or is suella braverman right that we to remove ourselves from we need to remove ourselves from various international legal systems ? systems? >> well, i don't think what the prime minister is proposing at the moment has any chance of getting through and meaning that any flight will take off for rwanda before the next election . rwanda before the next election. it's going to take some time, one, to get it through parliament, but also after that , parliament, but also after that, it will still have to go through the court system, even if there is a treaty rather than a memoranda of understanding which the government feels will be more robust . that will still more robust. that will still have to be tested in the courts. and even if there is emergency legislation, there declaring

that as far as the government's concerned, they believe rwanda is a safe country . there's all is a safe country. there's all kinds of treaties that those very clever lawyers acting on behalf of charity , his and on behalf of charity, his and on behalf of charity, his and on behalf of charity, his and on behalf of on behalf of the asylum seekers can use and have used to good effect to stop the planes taking off for rwanda in the first place. more than 19 months after this policy was first announced by boris johnson last year . so it'll still have last year. so it'll still have to be tested in the courts. whether ultimately the courts do then come down on the side of then come down on the side of the government if the losing party, he obviously loses that whichever court , a high court whichever court, a high court court of appeal puts initially right up to the supreme court , right up to the supreme court, it will still have to go through that cycle. again, the same cycle that we've had this year andindeed cycle that we've had this year and indeed last year. cycle that we've had this year and indeed last year . so no end and indeed last year. so no end in sight any time soon. suella

proposals as well. they would appear to be potentially more viable if they could get agreement , viable if they could get agreement, but viable if they could get agreement , but that would viable if they could get agreement, but that would mean disapplying not just the european convention of human rights. emily that would also mean disapplying the refugee convention and the human rights act and all manner of other treaties that those who are opposed to this policy might seek to use in the courts. she also wants to close down the avenues of appeal, such as judicial reviews. very controversial . i think there controversial. i think there would be quite a bit of opposition even within our own party, to actually going just that far. but in terms of whether it would work well, it would work. if they can get enough people to push those changes through . changes through. >> yes, the one nation, tory, damian green has green has certainly made his view clear that he does not approve of what suella braverman is proposing in terms of the rule of law. but thank very much indeed. home thank you very much indeed. home

security there security editor mark white there for dover. you for us live in dover. thank you for us live in dover. thank you for time. now now, benjamin for your time. now now, benjamin netanyahu admitted that netanyahu has admitted that israel has not been successful in minimising civilian casualties in gaza, but he lays the blame squarely at the door of hamas . he said the terror of hamas. he said the terror clearly terror group clearly didn't give a hoot about the palestinians as it is using them as human shields. meanwhile israeli troops claim to have found a tunnel shaft used by hamas terrorists at gaza's al—shifa hospital , which has al—shifa hospital, which has been subject to an idf military operation over the last few days. to discuss this further, let's speak now to israeli government spokesman ellen levi. thank you very much indeed for your time. should we start with those comments from the israeli prime minister there, your prime minister suggesting that unfortunately, they have not been successful , unfortunately, they have not been successful, israel unfortunately, they have not been successful , israel has not been successful, israel has not been successful, israel has not been successful, israel has not been successful in limiting civilian casualties is. what do you say to that ? you say to that? >> so i should clarify, first of all, the israeli army has been phenomenal, successful in minimising civilian casualties,

given the nature of the war that we are facing. on october 7th, hamas declared war with that horrific massacre of over 1200 people and decided to fight that war from inside densely populated areas. >> we have uncovered tunnel shafts underneath children's bedrooms. we have found rocket launchers underneath little girls mattresses . we've found girls mattresses. we've found rocket launchers with cables that lead into mosques and just yesterday, we eliminated hamas terrorists hiding inside schools . that is the nature of the dangerous urban battlefield where hamas has dragged us into this battle to target the terrorists who perpetrated october 7th. now we're really setting a gold standard for counter—terror ism in urban setting a gold standard for count�*in-terror ism in urban setting a gold standard for count�*in the 'or ism in urban setting a gold standard for count�*in the effortsin urban setting a gold standard for count�*in the efforts that ban setting a gold standard for count�*in the efforts that we areas in the efforts that we have taken to get civilians out of harm's way. it's been over a month that israel has been urging civilians in northern gaza leave . we've secured gaza to leave. we've secured humanitarian corridors and our soldiers have been attacked by hamas as we provide safe passage for palestinians to leave , we've for palestinians to leave, we've put in place tactical pauses in order to encourage palestinians to get out of harm's way, because we don't want to hurt

them. to hurt them. we want to hurt the terrorists who are behind terrorists who are hiding behind them. obviously, have them. now obviously, have we been successful in bringing civilian deaths to zero? no, absolutely not. that is the nature of hamas fighting from inside densely populated areas, urging women and children to stay because it tells them, we want you to martyr yourselves , want you to martyr yourselves, we want to sacrifice our people on the altar of jihad. these are hamas words, not ours, but have we been successful in minimising civilian casualties , given how civilian casualties, given how many people could have been hurt had we not gone above and beyond and out of our way , surrendering and out of our way, surrendering the element of surprise , the element of surprise, surrendering other operational advantage in order to get civilians out of harm's way? absolutely. we've made efforts that no army in history has made to get civilians out of harm's way. you know, we said from the beginning of this war, hamas is worse will destroy worse than isis. we will destroy hamas, like the world destroyed isis . and when 86 nations ganged isis. and when 86 nations ganged up on isis a decade ago in mosul and raqqa and did to mosul and raqqa , what they did to mosul

raqqa, what they did to mosul and raqqa, including the uk, i don't remember any british troops on the ground having isis firing rpgs at them as they secure safe passage for innocent syrians and iraqis to leave. so we've gone above and beyond, and we're very of efforts we're very proud of our efforts to the other side to protect the other side civilians from their own terrorist attempts terrorist leaders, attempts to endanger them. terrorist leaders, attempts to encellen them. terrorist leaders, attempts to encellen therisraeli troops have >> ellen and israeli troops have claimed to have found this tunnel shaft that's being used by terrorists at gaza's by hamas terrorists at gaza's al—shifa hospital . well, now al—shifa hospital. well, now there has been huge international concern about about this hospital in terms of babies being affected. and in terms of the ongoing fighting . terms of the ongoing fighting. we're looking at footage here now from the idf. you have the problem in israel of people seeing footage like this and not believe ing it to be true or denying the existence of these tunnels underneath these hospitals. what are you doing to combat that in terms of the pr battle , which is so important? battle, which is so important? we do have western countries speaking out now against israeli actions. you must be worried

about israel losing international support in this fight against hamas. >> emily, there are still people who are denying the atrocities on october 7th. there are still people denying that on october 7th, hamas invaded israel and brutally massacred , tortured, brutally massacred, tortured, mutilated , burned, beheaded. mutilated, burned, beheaded. right raped many, many , many right raped many, many, many israelis. we still have people denying the reason that we are in this war in the first place. and so it's not surprising that as israel exposes hamas as war crimes and exposes the way that hamas is cynically embedded itself in civilian areas, hiding underneath hospitals , that underneath hospitals, that people are going to deny that, too , because there are simply too, because there are simply many people in the world do many people in the world who do not israel to defend itself not want israel to defend itself against terrorist monsters against the terrorist monsters who perpetrated october 7th. now, in the last few days, we've exposed of how hamas is exposed evidence of how hamas is hiding under hospitals that international agencies and officials for years in officials for many years and in the few days have been in the last few days have been in complete about. we've complete denial about. we've shown the evidence. right shown the evidence. it's right there. the days move there. and as the days move ahead it becomes safe to do

ahead and it becomes safe to do so, i hope we'll be able to show the extent hamas the full extent of hamas takeover of the shifa hospital and that a of and i'll tell you that a lot of activists ngos activists and ngos and international officials are going look very, very, going to look very, very, very, very silly when the clear extent of hamas takeover of that hospital becomes clear and it becomes evident just how long they have been covering up . they they have been covering up. they have been covering up for hamas war crimes its cynical war crimes and its cynical exploitation of medical facilities . this exploitation of medical facilities. this is exploitation of medical facilities . this is outrageous. facilities. this is outrageous. hospitals must, of course , be hospitals must, of course, be protected. they must never be used as basis for military activity. and we're going to continue exposing the evidence that doing that hamas has been doing exactly . exactly that. >> know, like to get >> you know, i'd like to get your domestic your view on the domestic situation in this country here in the united kingdom, because as you will have most likely seen , there have been a huge seen, there have been a huge number of pro—palestinian and anti—israel protests, particularly in our capital, in london. now, the leader of the commons here, penny mordaunt , commons here, penny mordaunt, has expressed her concerns that many mps are actually under

threat . now many mps are actually under threat. now this is following a vote on a gaza ceasefire that took place this week. one labour mp had a massive, massive protest outside, outside her constituency office with many people chanting for her out labour party. shame on you because she did not vote to back a ceasefire. what do you make of what you're seeing in places like the united kingdom in london? what are your thoughts on these protests that continue and continue and continue ? and continue and continue? >> obviously , i can't comment on >> obviously, i can't comment on domestic uk politics other than to say the united kingdom government has been absolutely solid from day one in saying israel has not only a right to defend itself, it has a duty to defend itself, it has a duty to defend itself, it has a duty to defend itself and the united kingdom wants israel to win. that was a crucial statement from prime minister rishi sunak , from prime minister rishi sunak, because the uk understands that jihadi terrorists can't massacre 1200 people in half a day and get away with it. and democratic nafions get away with it. and democratic nations have to defend themselves. and we have to

defend ourselves not only for our security, but the security of west well. as for of the west as well. and as for those protests , i have to say we those protests, i have to say we are absolutely disgusted by the outpouring and outpouring of celebration and jubilation that we have seen on the streets of western capitals around the world, taking the side hamas , taking the side side of hamas, taking the side of the terror organisation that on october 7th, you know, we're coming up to the international day elimination of day for the elimination of violence committee violence against women committee , brutal acts of rape against israeli women and girls . we have israeli women and girls. we have eyewitness accounts of morgue workers who say that they found girls who were raped so brutally that their bones were broken . we that their bones were broken. we have eyewitness testimony of women who were shot in the head while they were being raped and anyone who was going on the streets of london or paris or berlin any capital city and berlin or any capital city and is calling for a ceasefire , is is calling for a ceasefire, is calling for us to abandon our 30 stolen children in the hands of paedophile rapists in tunnels in the gaza strip . and to stop the gaza strip. and to stop defending ourselves and to leave in place the terror regime that

is promising to do that again. and we are absolutely disgusted that anyone is making excuses for hamas and anyone who is not standing for square behind our obugafion standing for square behind our obligation to defend our people from the terrorist group that is threatening to invade again and murder bucha rape , behead, murder bucha rape, behead, torture and mutilate our people again. so we've been clear from day one. this is a moment of moral clarity. it's a moral test for the world. are you with humanity or are you with barbarism? are you with civilisation savagery? and civilisation or savagery? and it's tragic that so many people have do something have decided to do something that good rather does that feels good rather than does good call for a ceasefire. good and call for a ceasefire. you know what? we're also trying good and call for a ceasefire. yo end ow what? we're also trying good and call for a ceasefire. yo end this/hat? we're also trying good and call for a ceasefire. yo end this war, we're also trying good and call for a ceasefire. yo end this war, but re also trying good and call for a ceasefire. yo end this war, but we'reo trying to end this war, but we're trying to end this war in a way that never that makes sure hamas can never hurt people again. hurt our people again. and we don't get into this same don't get dragged into this same cycle of violence. >> okay. thank very much >> okay. thank you very much indeed, israel indeed, ellen levi, israel government spokesman there . now, government spokesman there. now, coming up, turning our coming up, we're turning our attention potholes. very attention to potholes. very different an extra £83 different mood as an extra £83 billion is promised to fund our road repairs. see you very shortly .

mappa documentation is stored under lock and key in a cabinet. >> but when i first accessed that folder, i was absolutely appalled. clearly hadn't been reviewed for over ten years. there was over 20 mappa documents in that folder where court order restriction had expired years prior to me accessing that folder after an incident where a convicted paedophile was allegedly given a smartphone against his restrictions. >> mark notified the office that they had a big problem. >> did we have sexual offenders, stranger rapists, applying for work, applying for training opportunities that still had mappa restrictions in place, court order restrictions . we court order restrictions. we just didn't know. it was impossible to ascertain when a senior manager wrote back to say you have identify died a massive risk for both this case and wider . wider. >> but mark alleged that nothing was done, no safeguarding measures were put in place and more incidents occurred . gb news more incidents occurred. gb news has heard compelling testimony

about other incidents where the dwp allegedly failed to observe restrictions applied to ex—prisoners . restrictions applied to ex—prisoners. in one case, restrictions applied to ex—prisoners . in one case, the ex—prisoners. in one case, the oxford jobcentre offered work to a notorious paedophile . he had a notorious paedophile. he had already been given a laptop with internet access . this man, who internet access. this man, who we cannot name for legal reasons, preyed on vulnerable young girls in one of britain's worst grooming gang scandals . worst grooming gang scandals. mark said that he kept reporting these alleged failures but was not listened . to not listened. to >> my caseload was a minefield , >> my caseload was a minefield, an absolute minefield. i had no support in this matter, no one was taking it seriously . was taking it seriously. >> with the strain of working with ex—prisoners and what he said was a failure to react to his concerns as mark had a total breakdown and has been hospitalised regularly since. >> you lose composure . azure and >> you lose composure. azure and rationality . my role was my tool rationality. my role was my tool to keep people safe . you take to keep people safe. you take the role away, you still have

the role away, you still have the concerns and the public are still at risk. but you can't do anything about it . you've been anything about it. you've been silenced by the very people that are supposed to be supporting you . you. >> now, in response, the department of work and pensions insists former convicts are monitored in the workplace and they promise to investigate. the statement says we take all staff concerns very seriously and are committed to investigating any issues that are raised . and issues that are raised. and documents held by oxford jobcentre on customers with restrictions are up to date and regularly reviewed. training is provided for jobcentre staff nationwide and we continue to work closely with thames valley probation service and others. so we have the necessary detail on applicants personal search circumstances. joining me now is gb news investigates. reporter charlie peters. charlie, thank you very much indeed for your well, what your investigation there and hearing from that whistleblower very interesting indeed. very serious

safeguarding failures there , it safeguarding failures there, it would appear. >> yes. and one of the concerns that many of the whistleblowers i've spoken to have raised about this case in particular is just how many moving parts there are. it's a very complex bit of information get across. but information to get across. but these order restrictions these court order restrictions that to some ex that are given to some ex prisoners, those who are violent or sexual offenders, that's managed probation managed by the probation service, service, the service, the prison service, the police , and passed on to police, and then passed on to the dwp when they look for work. so it should be sent from those pubuc so it should be sent from those public protection units via in this case, thames valley police onto to the job centre so that when work coaches, civil servants who help you find work or training or any devices that you need to get back on your feet after you leave prison , you feet after you leave prison, you can they don't send can make sure they don't send you to the right to the wrong place. sorry clearly, place. sorry and clearly, according allegations according to these allegations from whistleblower, that from this whistleblower, that has not happening. that has not been happening. that information not been sent information has not been sent oven information has not been sent over. question we're asking over. the question we're asking now is how widespread is this problem? looking very problem? we've been looking very seriously into the situation in oxford since around february. we've been speaking to many

whistleblowers from this job centre throughout wider centre and throughout the wider dwp region around that area . dwp region around that area. we've had other whistleblowers and jobcentre ears in that and other jobcentre ears in that area, it it seems highly area, but it it seems highly unlikely to me that this is confined to just a few job centres in one place with all these moving parts and all these concerns, there's a realistic possibility that this is going on parts of the country. >> so you've been working on this for months and months and months the scenes, months behind the scenes, getting ducks in getting all your ducks in in a row. how does the department for work to work and pensions begin to investigate say investigate this? you say there are moving parts here. are so many moving parts here. >> whistleblower, the >> well, the whistleblower, the main whistleblower from main whistleblower we heard from there, been there, mark, he has been fighting in the dwp and before he left to try and launch an investigation internally raised many grievances about the situation in and whistleblowers come to the media as a last resort. okay. they really want things to be fixed internally. this is a final move you make when you feel as though you can't get what you want achieved and you feel though and you feel as though the pubuc and you feel as though the public risk. so we've public are at risk. so we've

heard allegations not heard these allegations not because mark has rushed to just get them out into the news as soon as possible. no, he did the right thing. he tried very hard to get this fixed internally . to get this fixed internally. and they've they've come to us and other whistleblowers have done the same in this job centre and afield because they and further afield because they feel though the feel as though this is the final, straw that the final, final straw and that the dwp actually hasn't sufficiently investigated or put in those crisis measures that are required . required. >> and just to sum up essentially you are saying and you have found and that we could potentially have rapists, murderers, sexual offenders in jobs without knowing. >> and the most stunning example that we heard from this whistleblower and a couple of others was that a grooming gang abuser in oxford, one of the most notorious scandals of that appalling shame in this country. actually, they only discovered that that man had restrictions when was recognised when he was recognised by a member staff in the job member of staff in the job centre who knew them out in public. okay so those court order restrictions, one of the

most severe that mark had ever seen, they weren't they weren't on digital to dwp account. on his digital to dwp account. he only knew about them because somebody in the office recognised him. and if the system isn't working, we could be with some extremely be working with some extremely dangerous without knowing. >> e come w“ >> well, we'll come back to you later the show because >> well, we'll come back to you late got the show because >> well, we'll come back to you late got lots1e show because >> well, we'll come back to you late got lots more )w because >> well, we'll come back to you late got lots more questions; >> well, we'll come back to you late got lots more questions to i've got lots more questions to ask this report. thank ask you about this report. thank you indeed. charlie you very much indeed. charlie peters investigates peters there, our investigates reporter . peter now coming up, reporter. peter now coming up, i will be by our royal will be joined by our royal correspondent meghan markle correspondent as meghan markle says she's in quotes, thrilled to return to hollywood. got more on that shortly

sunday mornings from 930 on . gb news. >> welcome back. now the duchess of sussex has said she's thrilled to return to hollywood after appearing on the red carpet at the variety's power of women in los angeles last night. so joining us in the studio to tell us a bit more about this is our royal correspondent, cameron walker. meghan, back to hollywood . and cameron, that's hollywood. and cameron, that's where she belongs, isn't it? that's where she always wanted to be. yeah. >> meghan her silence >> meghan breaking her silence since from since we had that extract from omid scobie's biography omid scobie's new biography talking about prince harry's experience of the queen experience of the day, the queen died. and meghan actually spoke on red carpet to media there on the red carpet to media there at variety. and she teased that she and prince harry are working on, and i quote, exciting new project. so let's take a look at that clip. >> what is the thing that is driving the work that you're going to put out into the

business? >> things that make people feel , >> things that make people feel, well, i was going to say good, but it's more than that. things that make people feel something right and feel a sense of community. but we have so many exciting things on the slate. i can't wait until we can announce them, but i'm just proud them, but i'm just really proud of creating. my of what we're creating. my husband too . husband is loving it too. >> it sounds like she is very much wanting to go down the hollywood a—lister route rather than being a member of the royal family, which is, of course, her and choice moving to and harry's choice moving to california , no longer working california, no longer working members of the royal family. however, this is a tricky time, i think, for the duke and duchess of sussex. the reason being that we know that i've being is that we know that i've had confirmed to me had a source confirmed to me that both of them speak that they did both of them speak to charles on his birthday to king charles on his birthday a ago , perhaps a bit of a few days ago, perhaps a bit of an olive branch trying to mend the there. but then the relationship there. but then we elephant in the we have this elephant in the room this omid scobie book, room of this omid scobie book, a biography . we now omid tweeted biography. we now omid tweeted yesterday and he said he is not meghan's pal. and the sussexes

had nothing to do with this book. and their stories are a small part of a much bigger picture when it comes to his analysis of the royal family. but we've already had some revelations, haven't we, about what prince harry's experience of the day, queen elizabeth ii died. the book comes out next week, and we'll have to see if there's any more uncomfortable , there's any more uncomfortable, uncomfortable words coming out of that book to do with the royal family. >> yes. i'm not sure what you royal family. >> �*and i'm not sure what you royal family. >> �*and can't)t sure what you royal family. >> �*and can't believe vhat you royal family. >> �*and can't believe vhat a»u can and can't believe that a camera you should camera and all what you should and shouldn't when and shouldn't believe when it comes of books. comes to these types of books. but meghan markle, clearly she wants make a bigger name for wants to make a bigger name for herself, bigger name for herself, even bigger name for herself, even bigger name for herself in hollywood. now am i right in thinking that her spotify podcast, which i did sit through and to the through and listen to the entirety of , was a bit of through and listen to the entirety of, was a bit of a through and listen to the entirety of , was a bit of a flop entirety of, was a bit of a flop overall and our netflix continuing to work with them, where are they with all of these gigs? >> well, this yeah, the archetypes podcast, which you spoke to, it did win a few awards. however, amazon axed it very, very quick. sorry spotify, even spotify exits after one

season, which i think perhaps speaks volumes as to how spotify executives are viewing it. a spotify executive actually called them grifters . oh, yes, i called them grifters. oh, yes, i remember that. >> yes. >> yes. so >> yes. so that >> yes. so that was >> yes. so that was pretty uncomfortable, i think, for meghan and harry archwell are not responding to that particular quote. we do know they still have a contract with netflix. had that bombshell netflix. we had that bombshell netflix. we had that bombshell netflix documentary that they put explaining their put out explaining their departure as working members of the royal family hurling yet more allegations at the working members of the royal family, particularly prince william and harry's brother and it does look like meghan was hinting at it on the red carpet last night that they have some more projects in they have some more projects in the pipeline. i do doubt i think they are that they are going to be more slating of the be doing more slating of the royal family. i think perhaps, a, b, a, that would be unwise. but b, i think the narrative is shifting for because they shifting for them because they receive really reviews shifting for them because they receivit really reviews shifting for them because they receivit comeseally reviews shifting for them because they receivit comes to ly reviews shifting for them because they receivit comes to slating eviews shifting for them because they receivit comes to slating the ws when it comes to slating the royal family and perhaps they're going to become more philanthropic . we'll have to

philanthropic. we'll have to wait and see more philanthropic. >> wouldn't amiss, >> well, that wouldn't go amiss, would all been so far would it? it has all been so far really about dishing the dirt on the royal family so we'll see if they manage to create some kind of narrative for themselves. of new narrative for themselves. it's going to be tricky. i thought meghan markle to thought meghan markle wanted to be white house, but be in the white house, but perhaps that comes after being a top exec. we shall top hollywood exec. we shall see. very much indeed. see. thank you very much indeed. we'll again. we'll talk again. royal correspondent walker correspondent cameron walker there talking through there talking us through meghan's dalliances. now, meghan's latest dalliances. now, staffordshire police has been criticised after publishing a guide that warns officers not to use words such as policeman and man up or they risk breaking the law. now, with all the challenges currently facing our police forces and countless crimes unsolved , is this crimes going unsolved, is this really how they should be spending and spending their time and resources essentially policing speech ? so to give his thoughts speech? so to give his thoughts on this is former detective chief superintendent at the met police, kevin hurley . kevin, are police, kevin hurley. kevin, are you scratching your head like i am ? am? >> well, i'm rather disappointed , pointed, actually, that the way in which police service is

going and this particular publication from staffordshire is further disappointment. when will they send out messages to their staff like we rule the streets, they don't. we are to here keep people safe. we are here keep people safe. we are here to catch burglars . we are here to catch burglars. we are here to catch burglars. we are here to catch people who are making life intolerable for people in our villages. yes it's right that the police should be emotionally intelligent in the words that they use and how they speak to each other . words that they use and how they speak to each other. but i am concerned that more effort seems to be being put into sending out this kind of publication than reminding people the mission of the police is to protect the pubuc the police is to protect the public without fear favour. and that's the disappointing thing about this document . what also about this document. what also concerns me is that they paid for this without side consultants who probably would

have hit them for 20, 40, £50,000, which would have provided quite a lot of overtime , um, for an anti—burglary operation on, on a troubled council estate or housing estate i >> -- >> so you're concerned about the direction of the police and what they choose to prioritise as well as the amount of money that's being potentially wasted on types of things? i on these types of things? i mean, a 12 page guide guide, which included telling police officers not to use phrases like man up and grow a pair. i mean, it really does make me scratch my head, that's for sure. but just i just want to get your view , too, on what we've seen, view, too, on what we've seen, because this is staffordshire police, although i imagine this is quite common and we'd have to look into other police forces to see if they're issuing similar guidance . but what we all can guidance. but what we all can see with our own eyes and perhaps you can speak to this, the police come under the met police has come under quite lot of fire over claims quite a lot of fire over claims that operate two tier that they operate a two tier policing, particularly when it comes protest rights. do you comes to protest rights. do you agree with that assessment ?

agree with that assessment? >> no . no, i don't. >> no. no, i don't. >> there's a bug on your screen. >> there's a bug on your screen. >> there's a bug on your screen. kevin oh, there we go . we can kevin oh, there we go. we can see you now. we can see you . see you now. we can see you. >> see you now. we can see you. >> no, no, no, don't . >> no, no, no, don't. >> um, because the, the police have taken a very sensible view in dealing with hundreds of thousands of people when the sense of angst of many people who are concerned about the approach being taken by the israeli defence forces in gaza, no matter how righteous their cause might be, the numbers of people innocent people, children being killed is upsetting a lot of people. yeah, and not all of them, by the way, are young muslims, for example. a lot of them are ordinary members of the pubuc them are ordinary members of the public who are upset. so i think the police have been quite prudent in the way in which they police these major demonstrations is the problem with you go into a with it is if you go into a large that upset and large crowd that are upset and angry and and start to make

angry and try and start to make arrests, you're likely to end up with a much worse situation. because i've done this many times and unless you then respond very, very robust in what will be a very unseen situation, you'll end up losing and ending up with a riot. so what the police have done is they've videoed what they've seen. that's been going on. and now after the event, they're going after the people in slow time . so the message is out time. so the message is out there now , now that you may go there now, now that you may go along there and shout all these horrible things , anti—semitic horrible things, anti—semitic things like from the river to the sea and so on. but the police are in fact going to get you couple of days later in you a couple of days later in the follow up investigation , the follow up investigation, because in the end , when you because in the end, when you make one arrest in a large crowd, that probably takes 6 or 8 officers off the street . and 8 officers off the street. and before you know where you are , before you know where you are, you've run out of police officers . so you do need to take officers. so you do need to take a prudent decision. i mean, i'll give you an example. even at the notting hill carnival, where we would see people committing

knifepoint robberies in front of us on occasion , police decided us on occasion, police decided not to go into the crowd and intervene because they physically didn't have the numbers to deal with what they knew, what would be coming next, which is a full scale riot. as the crowd tried to free the prisoner. so there are times when police against everyone's wishes, including mine, need to be prudent. if you want a short take from me, i think it's high time that the police got water cannon with index marker solutions so we don't end up with this ridiculous situation where men and women in uniform are in fistfights and baton fights at close range with people. let's keep the crowd distant like they do elsewhere on the continent and just give them a good spraying. and if you have a marker solution that shows up under ultraviolet light, you can then, as the crowds are leaving the area shown shine ultraviolet light on them at the railway stations and arrest them when they're in smaller numbers. i really don't

know why the met is

good afternoon. it is 1:00. you're with gb news. live with me, emily carver. so here's what's coming up this afternoon . what's coming up this afternoon. rishi sunak has vowed to take on anyone standing in the government's way over the rwanda plan. that's after former home secretary suella braverman said the will fail to send

not ruled out the prospect of mps debating an emergency law to tackle channel crossings over christmas . tackle channel crossings over christmas. in a damning article, home secretary suella braverman set out her own ideas to end the deadlock over deportation flights to rwanda. she claims that tinkering with failed that tinkering with a failed plan will not stop the boats. so let's cross to westminster and speak political speak with our political correspondent, olivia utley olivia is there a chance, a real chance that mps could be debating this over christmas? they'll be dragged back in over the festive season . the festive season. >> i think there is a real chance that that could end up happening. that's what suella braverman has called for in her letter today. she essentially is arguing that the whole thing isn't really being treated as enough of an emergency. and she's come up with this five point plan, which she says will get the flights to rwanda off the ground. if not before a general election. she's essentially saying that that is now impossible because of government mistakes. at government mistakes. then at least sometime the near least sometime in the near future , rishi sunak will be

future, rishi sunak will be under huge pressure to respond to that. and to get mps back into parliament over christmas to debate this, he said that he wanted to get the flights off the ground, stop the boats before the end of this year. well we're now in mid november and to all intents and purposes we're basically right back to the drawing board. after that supreme court judgement ruled the rwanda plan unlawful . so the rwanda plan unlawful. so i think there will be quite a lot of political on sunak of political pressure on sunak to get the house sitting over christmas to get this legislation over the line though it'll be interesting to see how laboun it'll be interesting to see how labour, the lib dems and the snp respond because they might argue that all of this is because of government and if the government failings and if the government failings and if the government couldn't its government couldn't get its ducksin government couldn't get its ducks in a row in time, then why should have sit in the should they have to sit in the house their christmas break? >> yes, it seems the timeline is a little bit all over the place or at least confirmed for or at least not confirmed for us. i've just seen a spokeswoman for the prime minister said she can't reports that a new can't confirm reports that a new treaty with rwanda could be published as monday day.

published as soon as monday day. that's government was that's when the government was asked it may be asked whether it may be published next week. they don't have any update on the time, as we really don't know how quick or slowly, quickly or slowly or how slowly, quickly or slowly this to actually happen i >> -- >> well, exactly . we don't know >> well, exactly. we don't know at all. obviously, rishi sunak wants to get this treaty with rwanda sorted as quickly as possible. and essentially the treaty would say that rwanda is a safe country. the supreme court ruled that it was not a safe country. he would put in place this emergency legislation and he'd make this deal with rwanda, which would essentially put few checks put in place a few more checks and balances to rwanda's immigration scheme. and then he would enshrine in those checks and balances into law by essentially just declaring that rwanda is a safe policy . that rwanda is a safe policy. that piece emergency legislation piece of emergency legislation nafion piece of emergency legislation nation would stop anyone taking the rwanda plan to the court. again, they couldn't they couldn't make a wholesale complete account. they couldn't take the whole plan to court. but as suella braverman has pointed out in the telegraph

this morning, pointed out in the telegraph this morning , that wouldn't stop this morning, that wouldn't stop individual migrants going to the courts and complaining, going to courts and complaining, going to courts and complaining, going to courts and lodging a case against their deportation, and thatis against their deportation, and that is what held up the flights last year. there was a flight waiting on the tarmac, but individual migrants this was in june 2022, individual migrants went to human rights lawyers and their cases were accepted, even though at that point the rwanda plan had been ruled lawful , a plan had been ruled lawful, a judgement which has since been rescinded by the supreme court. so it's all a bit complicated, but suella braverman is saying that what rishi sunak is offering isn't good enough because of these individual complaints from specific migrants. what she says we need to do is basically exempt this piece of legislation from all human rights laws. the human rights act, our own act, all international acts to the european court of human rights as well. she wants this piece of legislation to circumnavigate all of that with what's called notwithstanding clauses.

>> starmer been up in >> now keir starmer been up in scotland in aberdeenshire talking about energy mostly, i believe . but he's also been believe. but he's also been asked to comment on rwanda and again the labour party talking about he's saying we need a serious solution, okay. he says this is pursuing expensive gimmicks. he says that's what rishi sunak is doing. he says instead everyone needs to get behind his plan to smash the gangs and get the claims processed. well isn't that what rishi sunak and his government are trying to do? if not as successfully as as they'd like ? successfully as as they'd like? >> well, yes, absolutely . and >> well, yes, absolutely. and i've heard a lot of concern lviv mps complaining about keir starmer blithely saying that he'd like to smash the gangs. of course, everyone would like to smash the gangs, but it's a little bit easier said than done.the little bit easier said than done. the rest of keir starmer's immigration policy is a bit more controversial. he wants to take in migrants from the eu in exchange for sending back some migrants to the eu. but of course lots of people would argue that that would basically

be a betrayal of brexit. so he's not talking about that the not talking about that at the moment particularly surprised. >> you very much >> well, thank you very much indeed your political indeed for your time. political correspondent olivia utley there live westminster , bringing live from westminster, bringing us latest on the rwanda plan us the latest on the rwanda plan now on the week rishi sunak vowed to get this scheme back on track and stop the boats. gb news can reveal that actually around 1000 people have crossed in boats just in recent in small boats just in recent days. our home security editor mark is in dover. mark mark white is in dover. mark thank you very much for joining us from dover. can you bring us the latest on these numbers . the latest on these numbers. >> yes, about a thousand have crossed so far this week because we had some good weather at the beginning of the week and also good weather yesterday. and today as well. it was a little bit choppy to begin with. out in the channel, but things are calming down nicely there now. and it's high tide over in france in about an hour or so . france in about an hour or so. so expect activity on the beaches of france is what i'm

being told. in fact , it just in being told. in fact, it just in the last few minutes , the border the last few minutes, the border force vessel ranger has just left ramsgate harbour , heading left ramsgate harbour, heading out into the channel. there's activity from a french lifeboat and a couple of french naval border patrol vessels out on that side of the channel as well. clearly gearing up to the possibility that more boats will attempt to leave the beaches of northwestern france this afternoon and try to get across to the uk. and really, i think what it shows is regardless of what it shows is regardless of what rishi sunak and his government might say about managing to get on top of the small boats crisis, reducing the number of small boats that have crossed the english channel this year by about a third. a lot of it is down to the weather and we've had such unpredictable weather in the channel over recent months with northerly

winds prevailing, northerly and northeasterly winds that have the effect of pushing against those beaches in northwestern france, whipping up the waves and making it very difficult for these flimsy vessels to get across the channel. but when the weather improves, as it has done this week, then we see them coming back en masse again. this week, then we see them coming back en masse again . and coming back en masse again. and it's perfectly possible if we get a run of good weather later in november and even into december , that actually that december, that actually that total, which is now just shy of 28,000, will rise by a few thousand more before the end of the year. >> thank you very much indeed. mark white, our homeland security editor, live from dover , where the boats keep coming. and it seems it's more about the weather than the government's attempt to stop them. if the numbers are down, this year, which looks like they will be more about the weather than anything else, let me know what you israeli you think. but israeli prime minister netanyahu has minister benjamin netanyahu has admitted israel has not

admitted that israel has not been in minimising been successful in minimising civilian casualties in gaza. but he laid the blame squarely at the door of hamas. he said the terror group clearly didn't give a hoot about the palestinian earns as it is using them as human shields . meanwhile, us human shields. meanwhile, us secretary antony secretary of state antony blinken reiterated america's blinken has reiterated america's stance that gaza cannot be reoccupied by israel. at the end of the conflict. that's as israeli troops claim to have found a tunnel shaft used by hamas terrorists at gaza's al—shifa hospital , which has al—shifa hospital, which has been subject to an idf military operation after the last few days. to discuss this further, let's speak now to the editor of the jewish chronicle, jake wallis. simons jake, thank you very much indeed for your time on the show today . benjamin on the show today. benjamin netanyahu said that unfortunately, they have not been successful in limiting casualties, civilian casualties. this is very concerning to western countries. lots of imagery about there and footage of people losing their lives, innocent civilians losing their

lives . are you concerned that lives. are you concerned that the israeli government is losing the israeli government is losing the essentially the pr battle in this war? are they losing too much international support ? much international support? >> i think we can see that beginning to happen for sure . beginning to happen for sure. >> in fact, not beginning to happen. it's been beginning to happen. it's been beginning to happen since this whole thing started. don't forget the started. and don't forget the first demonstration against the israelis happened before any israelis happened before any israeli military response had even taken place in gaza before the blood was dry in southern israel. so the pr campaign has been waged alongside this this campaign of hamas atrocities from the very start. and we can see that it's building momentum with each passing week. and this is the latest example. um, i think it's important with benjamin netanyahu's comments to look at them in the context of everything that he said. he was saying that israel is doing its best to avoid harming civilians, including calling the civilians leaflet drops and begging them

or telling them move outside or telling them to move outside of the fire zone to somewhere safer . but of the fire zone to somewhere safer. but hamas are trying to frustrate those efforts by blocking those safe passage routes and firing on civilians who attempts to make use of them. and the obvious goal of hamas is to maximise civilian casualties, to use them as human shields, and to send pictures around the world of activities of israeli, quote unquote genocide, to bring people onto the streets, to apply international pressure on israel to limit its ability to defend itself. so he wasn't saying that israel hasn't been trying. israel hasn't been trying. israel hasn't been trying. israel has been trying. it's been thwarted by hamas . been thwarted by hamas. >> when the >> and that's when the international community see, now it's course , to verify it's hard. of course, to verify the of civilian the figure of civilian casualties . very difficult casualties. very difficult indeed. some sources, the hamas run health ministry is saying 11,500. we don't know if that is the right figure , if that is the the right figure, if that is the accurate figure. but it's very difficult indeed for israel to maintain support when people are

seeing that live footage across the media, across social media of civilians being sadly killed , of civilians being sadly killed, including very young babies and the like, very difficult indeed, and heartbreaking scenes . and heartbreaking scenes. >> yes. i mean, as you said, the figures are impossible to verify. we should trust them less than we would trust figures coming out of the kremlin about casualties in the russian ukraine war and those figures, i mean, notably that 11,000 or 11,500 total does not doesn't distinguish between terrorists and civilians . it gives a round and civilians. it gives a round number suggesting that they're all civilians . so there's that . all civilians. so there's that. but yes, you're right that the media is covering this conflict furiously, 24 over seven footage of real suffering in gaza and i don't want to diminish that real suffering for a moment. war is hell, but we rarely have the

hell, but we rarely have the hell of war covered in such excruciating detail. on one side in particular with regard to the civilian casualties . as you civilian casualties. as you know, when the raf joined the americans and the kurds and the iraqis to beat islamic state in iraqis to beat islamic state in iraq and syria, when we bombed mosul and when we took part in a campaign that killed 11,000 civilians in 2016, 2017, there was no coverage at all of the civilian casualties, all of whom died, no less gruesome of death than those gazans are dying at the moment. so it's all a tragedy, don't get me wrong. but our compassion in the west is being inflamed and weaponized to put pressure on israel to desist from its just defensive and moral war. as we know, even a moral war. as we know, even a moral and defensive war is hell, and that's obviously a tragedy and that's obviously a tragedy andifs and that's obviously a tragedy and it's regrettable . but israel and it's regrettable. but israel didn't want this war, didn't start this war, but it's called upon to defend its citizens, as any country in the world would do. the campaign, which do. but the pr campaign, which is hamas and its is being waged by hamas and its allies being taken up by the

western media, is really winning hearts and minds here in a very , hearts and minds here in a very, very way. very troubling way. >> want get on to that >> yes, i want to get on to that because certainly because it certainly is. and we've seen jake in london in particular, huge numbers of people taking to the streets to protest in support of the palestinian people. also very much many very much against israel's actions. and as you say , it is all over social media. it is all over the media, back to back coverage of this war. many people in this country are very, very angry. how concerned are you about the level of protest that we're seeing in this country? unfortunately there are some extreme elements among the crowds . among the crowds. >> i'm very concerned. i mean, look, there are two problems here. one is israel's problem and that is the pressure being brought by the international community on israel to stop its just and defensive and necessary war. and israel is going to resist that as long as it to can do the right thing and protect its people. but the second

problem is in britain, and that is the problem of the radicals and jihadis and their supporters who are living in this country. we've seen reported over the last weeks how hamas members last few weeks how hamas members have been welcomed here in britain, given safe haven, allowed to operate under the radar without too much scrutiny. and now we're seeing the fruits of that on our streets with these protests that have hamas sympathisers and indeed people with roles in hamas organising some of the protests, hamas sympathies is attending them and chanting for the genocide of jews and so forth and people who are well meaning perhaps liberal people on the left here in britain who just don't like the sight of people dying and suffering on tv as is right. as nobody does, don't have the knowledge or the background to understand the conflict in much depth. just want to make their voice heard for peace and the only march that they have an opfion only march that they have an option to attend is this one that calls not for peace, doesn't call for reconciliation ,

doesn't call for reconciliation, doesn't call for reconciliation, doesn't show any concern for the israeli casualties, but only calls for genocide, jihad and from the river to the sea and intifada and so on and so forth. so there's numbers are swell by well meaning. people now, if there was another demonstration where chance was now where the chance was peace now or free, the free palestine from hamas, that would be okay. but there isn't such a march. it's all being weaponized by these jihadis . and last week, hassan jihadis. and last week, hassan nasrallah, the leader of hezbollah, saluted in his speech, saluted those marches in the west because he sees them as contributing towards the overall global jihadi effort. so it's very troubling that we've got this here in britain. this happening here in britain. that's problem. that's our problem. >> we've members >> yes. and we've seen members of parliament aren't under threat . mp in of parliament aren't under threat. mp in bethnal green, a big, large crowd outside her constituency office saying that she must be voted out and the like. very intimidating. i imagine , for her. do you think imagine, for her. do you think just lastly, do you think that israel is doing enough enough to prevent civilian casualties, as

you just said, the scenes that people are seeing internationally are horrifying and israel believes it is fighting a just war. but these civilian casualties are mounting and mounting and mounting. and what we're seeing is truly quite hideous in places. do you think that israel is doing enough? we've got here israel is reportedly to allow two fuel trucks a day into gaza. i'm not asking you whether you think that's enough fuel, but just as an example of some of the aid thatis an example of some of the aid that is being allowed through. but is it enough, do you think ? but is it enough, do you think? >> i think it's important to recognise that the depth of depravity of hamas at this point, because i mean, for a lot of people who aren't well versed in the conflict and in the actors in the region, hamas, they might have heard of it, but they're not. they're not they don't really have a deep background hamas background about what hamas is, where from and how where it's come from and how it's operates. but even with fuel, been stealing fuel, hamas has been stealing fuel, hamas has been stealing

fuel civilians. it's fuel from the civilians. it's been from un been stealing aid from un depots. been providing depots. it's been providing protection, shelter, food, water and resources to its own fighters underground, while intentionally putting civilians intentionally putting civilians in harm's way. every civilian that's killed by israel is a victory for hamas and a tragedy for israel and for the rest of the civilised world. israel knows this and israel is trying to do everything it can to get enough aid to civilians without benefiting hamas to target hamas fighters, without killing civilians. but it's up against an enemy that sees its own people as an expendable resource in the service of turning public opinion against israel and ultimately with the aim of destroying the jewish state. so israel, i know and i'm confident israel, i know and i'm confident i know how the idf works and operates . i know it's doing operates. i know it's doing everything it can. i'm not intimately familiar with the particular operational decisions on ground, none of us are on the ground, as none of us are are. i'm confident doing are. i'm confident it's doing everything can. there's everything it can. if there's any more could do, then any more that it could do, then i would join everybody in urging it so. and know that

it to do so. and i know that it's making every effort to protect civilians and no protect civilians and leaving no stone unturned. but it's difficult you've an difficult when you've got an enemy that's trying to get you to kill them. >> very much indeed >> thank you very much indeed for time. jake wallis for your time. jake wallis simons, editor of the jewish chronicle. for being chronicle. thank you for being on this afternoon . now, on the show this afternoon. now, coming up, we'll be hearing from labour leader sir keir starmer after slew of after his party faced a slew of high profile resignations during the . so stay with

sunday mornings from 930 on . gb

sunday mornings from 930 on. gb news right now, the labour leader, sir keir starmer , has leader, sir keir starmer, has been speaking today. >> he was asked whether he's lost credibility after many of his frontbenchers resigned following the gaza ceasefire vote. so let's have a listen to what he had to say. >> this is not about the labour party . this is >> this is not about the labour party. this is about >> this is not about the labour party . this is about an >> this is not about the labour party. this is about an awful conflict in gaza . we have conflict in gaza. we have hostages taken weeks ago now who are still being held tragically . are still being held tragically. we got news in the last 24 hours of one of the hostages has been found dead and civilians in gaza, including women and children who've lost their lives in this conflict. and so that's where my focus is alleviating that suffering and ensuring that we can have a stepped approach to the two state solution, one thatis to the two state solution, one that is so desperately needed . that is so desperately needed. and on that issue , alleviating and on that issue, alleviating the suffering and a two state

solution. and making sure we get there. there is complete unity in the labour party , but there in the labour party, but there isn't complete unity over a ceasefire is there? >> you're clearly got a bit of a divide within your party. there >> if you ask anybody in the labour party whether they want to alleviate the suffering in gaza, those hostages gaza, get those hostages released, ensure that civilians are not caught in the crossfire of this. a humanitarian aid gets in and that we find a way, a pathway to the two state solution. there is complete unity and my focus, i'm afraid , unity and my focus, i'm afraid, is on that issue as hostages are being held, as we have this conversation , often as people conversation, often as people are dying in gaza , as we have are dying in gaza, as we have this conversation , i'm sure this conversation, i'm sure you'll understand that my focus is on how we alleviate that situation, not questions of labour party management. >> in terms of that frontbench, have you made replacements there? have you made decisions on collective on that collective responsibility is very important to any political party. >> it's for me to manage that . >> it's for me to manage that. i'm not going to do that live on

air. what i am going to do is to continue been doing, continue what i have been doing, which ask the question, which is to ask the question, how we make material how can we make a material difference in difference on the ground in gaza? talking to our allies, our ally countries , and talking to ally countries, and talking to ally countries, and talking to all world leaders who are most concerned about this and ensuring that we have a credible plan to ensure that where there are pauses and humanitarian aid can get in, that they become longer so more aid can get in, that there are stepping stone on to a cessation to the fighting which is going to be needed and also a stepping stone to a political pathway to the two state solution . that's what i'm state solution. that's what i'm focussed on and actually across the labour party, i think across the labour party, i think across the country, most people would say that's the right focus and the sooner we can get as many people focussed on that, making a difference on the ground , then a difference on the ground, then then the better . then for the better. >> in terms of that though, are you concerned you might lose more frontbench to this issue ? more frontbench to this issue? >> this isn't a question in of the management of the labour

party . there is the management of the labour party. there is an all is for you. >> you're you're the leader of the labour party. >> it is a question of that, isn't it? >> i'm the leader of the labour party. i hope the next election we be able form we will be able to form a government and is precisely government and that is precisely why my is on the question why my focus is on the question of the release of the hostages and precisely on the question of how do we alleviate the suffering ground for so suffering on the ground for so many civilians that have lost their lives in gaza. that is what you would expect from the leader of the opposition. that's what you would expect of someone who wants to form the next government working with our international allies to ensure that we can get those hostages released. we can alleviate the situation on the ground, the killing of so many innocent civilians , men, women and civilians, men, women and children included . that's where children included. that's where my focus is. that's where i think anybody watching this would expect the focus to be of the leader of the opposition, not on questions of party management. let's move on to another policy. >> rwanda, obviously, we've seen the situation in courts the situation in the courts there. do support

there. this week. do you support there. this week. do you support the government in to get the government in trying to get the government in trying to get the off the ground? >> we've seen from the >> what we've seen from the government is almost two years wasting time , um, on a gimmick wasting time, um, on a gimmick that cost £140 million paid to rwanda . not a single person has rwanda. not a single person has gone who has now been declared unanimously unlawful in response to that. what we do not need is another gimmick from the government to waste more time and more taxpayers money. we need a serious solution down to a very serious problem because the small boats problem is a very serious problem. i think that that involves smashing the criminal gangs that are running the vile trade , getting people the vile trade, getting people across the channel, working with our international partners on smashing those gangs. i've done this before when i was chief prosecutor in relation to gangs that drugs or people that are running drugs or people smuggling. can be done and smuggling. it can be done and then processing the claims that we've got. we've got record numbers of people waiting to be processed. so i would say to the government, stop pursuing the

expensive are expensive gimmicks that are just wasting time. get behind our plan to smash the gangs, get the claims process right, and where people be here, then people shouldn't be here, then return them to they where return them to where they where they should be. >> there we go. keir starmer insisting that his focus is on helping hostages on the release of hostages and helping those suffering on the ground in gaza and also rwanda. he has very different ideas. but coming up, i'll look ahead to the autumn budget. jeremy hunt is poised to halve the rate of inheritance tax. before that, your tax. but before that, your headunes tax. but before that, your headlines tatiana de . headlines with tatiana de. >> emily, thank you. this is the latest from the newsroom. the prime minister says he's determined to get his plan to deport migrants to rwanda through as quickly as possible, despite opposition. will the prime minister rescued the rwanda plan? mrs. braverman it's after the former home secretary said his attempts will fail unless out of the unless he opts out of the european convention on human

rights. suella braverman, who was sacked this week, says the proposed new treaty and legislation are simply a tweaked version of the failed plan. a mrs. braverman says rishi sunaks proposal will get bogged down in the courts, but he says he will take anyone standing in his way. >> we've got to get the rwanda plan up and running . >> we've got to get the rwanda plan up and running. i will do whatever it takes to make that happen. people sick of this happen. people are sick of this merry round. i want end merry go round. i want to end it. my patience is wearing thin like else that's like everyone else is. that's why our emergency legislation will make it crystal clear that rwanda is safe for these purposes. it meets all the concerns that people have raised because our new arrangement because of our new arrangement with them, and want to stop with them, and we want to stop any domestic challenges to any more domestic challenges to this program. and i've also been clear that we won't let a foreign court stand in way clear that we won't let a forus n court stand in way clear that we won't let a forus getting stand in way clear that we won't let a forus getting aand in way clear that we won't let a forus getting a flight way clear that we won't let a forus getting a flight off way clear that we won't let a forus getting a flight off to ay rwanda. >> english premier league football club everton has had ten points deducted for breaches of profit and sustainability rules following a five day heanng rules following a five day hearing last month. the commission found everton's losses during the 20 2122 season

we do not chase it. that is not ourjob. and at that point i realised we have a huge problem. mark also claimed that there were problems in storing and reviewing information about ex prisoners or the physical mappa documentation is stored under lock and key in a cabinet. when i first accessed that folder, there was absolutely appalled. clearly hadn't been reviewed for over ten years. there was over 20 mappa documents in that folder where court order restrictions had expired two years prior to me accessing that folder after an incident where a convicted paedophile was allegedly given a smartphone against his restriction signs, mark notified the office that they had a big problem. >> did we have sexual offenders, stranger rapists , applying for stranger rapists, applying for work, applying for training opportunities that still had mappa restrictions in place? >> court order restrictions. we just didn't know. it was impossible to ascertain , a impossible to ascertain, a senior manager wrote back to say, you have identified a

massive risk for both this case and wider. >> but mark alleged that nothing was done . no safeguarding was done. no safeguarding measures were put in place and more incidents occurred . gb news more incidents occurred. gb news has heard compelling testimony about other incidents where the dwp allegedly failed to observe restrictions applied to ex—prisoners . restrictions applied to ex—prisoners. in one case, restrictions applied to ex—prisoners . in one case, the ex—prisoners. in one case, the oxford jobcentre offered work to a notorious paedophile he had already been given a laptop with internet access . this man, who internet access. this man, who we cannot name for legal reasons , preyed on vulnerable young girls in one of britain's worst grooming gang scandals . mark grooming gang scandals. mark said that he kept reporting these alleged failures but was not listened to . my caseload was not listened to. my caseload was a minefield, an absolute minefield. >> i had no support in this matter. no one was taking it seriously . seriously. >> with the strain of working with ex prisoners and what he said was a failure to react to

his concerns. mark had a total breakdown and has been hospital liaised regularly since . liaised regularly since. >> you lose composure and rationality , my role was my tool rationality, my role was my tool to keep people safe. you take the role away. you still have the role away. you still have the concerns and the public are still at risk . but the concerns and the public are still at risk. but you can't do anything about it. you've been silenced by the very people that are supposed to be supporting you . you. >> now, in response, the department of work and pensions insists former convicts are monitored in the workplace and they promised to investigate the statement says. we take all staff concerns very seriously and are committed to investigating any issues that are raised . documents held by are raised. documents held by oxford jobcentre on customers with restrictions are up to date and regularly reviewed . training and regularly reviewed. training is provided for jobcentre staff nationwide and we continue to work closely with thames valley probation service and others. so we have the necessary detail on applicants personal circumstance cases. joining me now is gb news investigates reporter charlie peters, working

peters, who's been working on this many, many months. tell this for many, many months. tell me what was the most shocking thing you found out in that report? >> well, mark alleges failures from the start to the end of his time at the oxford job centre. joining during the end of the coronavirus lockdown . there's a coronavirus lockdown. there's a surge for work and a lot of strain on the system . and he's strain on the system. and he's handed this extremely delicate caseload as a work coach, someone who's designed to get people back into an employment and training. he's given the caseload for managing people who have less prison and have have significant restrictions. they're considered dangerous. there are three tiers to this system for violent and or sexual offenders. now, he alleges that there was no training on that , there was no training on that, which is already a pretty grave breach dealing with such a delicate case. but an offer then it's hard to say which bits is the most appalling according to these allegations , because it these allegations, because it just unravels so aggressively . just unravels so aggressively. lee i think if i could speak for the whistleblower on just briefly, knowing him as i do,

i'd say he'd probably find being ignored his allegation that he keeps he kept raising these concerns over and over again. this person had mappa conditions. they had court order restrictions that didn't allow them to work with children, say, or near schools or couldn't have devices that just weren't on their account. he raised this, assumed something would be done. he was told in one case, as we saw you know, you've raised something significant here for this and wider. but then he this case and wider. but then he says this is the says he was ignored. this is the serious allegation, i think probably that caused probably the one that caused the most about most strain. and we heard about the mental health problems that mark faced since while mark has faced since while deaung mark has faced since while dealing these extreme dealing with these extreme difficult situations. and why does he feel that strain? because fundamentally, this is about public thames about public safety. thames valley public protection unit and the probation service and the prison service and the police and the dwp should all be running system , this public running this system, this public protection arrangement for the safety of vulnerable people and children, no matter where they're from or they they're from or who they are. this is all about public safety. and so feeling as though you're not listened and your

not being listened to and your grievances ignored and grievances are being ignored and your isn't happening grievances are being ignored and your concerns happening grievances are being ignored and your concerns are pening grievances are being ignored and your concerns are sideline , and your concerns are sideline, and your concerns are sideline, and that contributes to an enormous strain. enormous amount of strain. >> this, unfortunately , >> we see this, unfortunately, rather a lot, don't we? people with severe and serious concerns within government, within the bureaucracy, whether it's local government councils, white hall people go ignored . lord, is it people go ignored. lord, is it the nature of the beast almost? >> well, i can't give away so many details right now because there's further reporting to come story the coming come on this story in the coming weeks and months for sure. but i've grievance package weeks and months for sure. but i'v

the oxford job centre, according to whistleblowers, is reflected more widely, not just at this central office, and there central office, and that there are with these public are problems with these public protection arrangements, not being properly recorded or observed or applied to dangerous ex—prisoners according to more whistleblowers. >> so this could be a very much a nationwide issue and just to clarify, essentially what you are saying, what this whistleblower is saying is that there could be perpetrators of there could be perpetrators of the most serious crimes , whether the most serious crimes, whether it's rape, whether it's sexual assault , it's rape, whether it's sexual assault, murder, even not being . assault, murder, even not being. well, the public not being protected from those people. >> that is the main charge . that >> that is the main charge. that is the main concern here, though. have extreme though. we have extreme dangerous people, people who often to be seen in often need to be seen in screened environments in the job centre. there some customers centre. there are some customers who support with who come in for support with their credit or for their universal credit or for jobseekers efforts who need to be seen in secure locations because a lot of people who leave prison remain dangerous because a lot of people would

say, well, you've your say, well, once you've done your time, should be able to time, you should be able to enter the workforce again. >> what else are you going to do? essentially, the most do? essentially, even the most heinous , people must do? essentially, even the most heiable , people must do? essentially, even the most heiable to , people must do? essentially, even the most heiable to resurrectpeople must do? essentially, even the most heiable to resurrect theire must do? essentially, even the most heiable to resurrect their life ust be able to resurrect their life in one way or another. but you say about keeping an eye on say it's about keeping an eye on what those jobs are and monitoring the situation. >> people, generally speaking, want be want ex—prisoners to be rehabilitated . even the most rehabilitated. even the most heinous criminals, are heinous criminals, if they are released, they should. most people think, have path back people think, have a path back to civic society and living safely with others. but that has to be done within the court order restrictions that are placed them, especially if placed upon them, especially if they sexual they are violent or sexual offenders, there's offenders, because there's a continuing there, which we continuing risk there, which we know too all well. and the know about too all well. and the concern here raised by this whistleblower and many others within the oxfordshire, buckinghamshire and bedfordshire region dwp is that those region for the dwp is that those pubuc region for the dwp is that those public protection arrangements are not being applied and insufficient investigation is taking place when those whistleblowers raise that concern . concern. >> well, thank you very much indeed, charlie there indeed, charlie peters. there are investigates reporter thank you very much indeed . now there

you very much indeed. now there are murmurings that inheritance tax could be slashed. that's as the chancellor comes ever closer to delivering his autumn statement next week. many of his tory colleagues are calling .for a pre—election giveaway, as economists estimate it estimate that the chancellor could have more than £10 billion to play with. but rishi sunak has refused to give any clue as to whether tax cuts are actually on the cards. so joining me now is andrew o'brien, who is director of policy and impact at the think tank demos. andrew, thank you very much for your time. cutting inheritance tax, would that be a top priority? should that be a top priority? should that be a top priority for this government? >> no . the research that we've >> no. the research that we've done with the public indicates that people think that inheritance tax is perfect . it's inheritance tax is perfect. it's not everyone's favourite tax, but when you ask their top five priorities of what taxes they'd like to be cut, polling has found that this is not remotely near the top of that list and the focus groups and the work we've done with the to public understand their attitudes to

inheritance running over the past we've been running over the past 18 months, has found that people immediately when you say let's cut, let's abolish inheritance tax, they go, well, where's the money going to come to pay for pubuc money going to come to pay for public people public services? people recognise that taxes be recognise that taxes have to be paid those services and paid to fund those services and at moment that their at the moment that their priority making sure those priority is making sure those services fixed, not an services are fixed, not an electoral giveaway like this. so if the prime minister is thinking i've got a great plan to get the poles back in the right direction with the conservatives, cut conservatives, let's cut inheritance let's scrap inheritance tax or let's scrap inheritance tax or let's scrap inheritance that will inheritance tax and that will rebuild fortunes. i rebuild my party's fortunes. i don't think the evidence is there for that . there for that. >> i people, when they are >> i mean, people, when they are polled say they hate polled do say that they hate inheritance tax . it's often inheritance tax. it's often dubbed the death tax . and even dubbed the death tax. and even people who don't face paying it themselves in their lifetimes may may still be against the policy out of a sense of fairness and out of a sense of seeing people being taxed yet again when their relative dies. even though that money has been

taxed previously, when it was earned and so on. you can see morally why people are so against this. but i think your point on how this is shouldn't be the priority is quite a sound one, although what i think jeremy hunt would say , to your jeremy hunt would say, to your point there, is that inheritance tax is one of those taxes that he would say is not inflationary, whereas if they've discarded other tax cuts because they worry that they may be inflate . henry, what do you inflate. henry, what do you think to that ? think to that? >> well, there's a few points there . i think your your point there. i think your your point about people's attitude to inherited tax and inheritance more broadly is very complicated. when we've talked to the public and gone through step by step their attitudes, yes, they do recognise that people should be to pass on people should be able to pass on money to their loved ones when they've passed on, and we think that's absolutely right . but that's absolutely right. but when you ask them to design where inheritance tax where they want inheritance tax to , they pretty much to be paid, they pretty much come with system we've got come up with a system we've got at moment . they come up with a system we've got at moment. they think come up with a system we've got at moment . they think that at the moment. they think that people who have more than, say, £300,000 of should £300,000 worth of assets should be inheritance tax, which

be paying inheritance tax, which is much system you've be paying inheritance tax, which is now. system you've be paying inheritance tax, which is now. so system you've be paying inheritance tax, which is now. so there am you've be paying inheritance tax, which is now. so there are (ou've got right now. so there are moral issues here. but i don't think when you actually get down into with people that into the detail with people that they genuinely that no they genuinely think that no inheritance tax should be paid and that should able inheritance tax should be paid an passt should able inheritance tax should be paid an pass on should able inheritance tax should be paid an pass on inheritancejld able inheritance tax should be paid an pass on inheritance tax able inheritance tax should be paid an pass on inheritance tax free, le to pass on inheritance tax free, or that, as you say, there should be a priority issue in terms of the inflationary or non inflationary element to it. i just if we're looking to just think if we're looking to get the key get inflation down, the key aspect rebuilt. doing aspect has to be rebuilt. doing the of productive capacity the kind of productive capacity of the reason of the uk economy. the reason why inflation is running as high as because we are simply as it is because we are simply not producing enough to either export overseas or to consume internally and demand is therefore outstripping supply and that's fuelling price rises and that's fuelling price rises and wage rises. so inheritance tax is not the answer to the question of how to either combat inflation or to stimulate the economy. >> yes, i think a lot of people, if they were starting tax policy from scratch, may not introduce an inheritance tax. but now perhaps it does seem to the pubuc perhaps it does seem to the public a bit of an odd priority at this time when the cost of

living is so high. i just want to get your thoughts on rachel reeves and the plans, the labour party plans to strengthen the office for budget responsibility. they say this is to avoid and prevent a repeat of liz truss , what they say liz truss, what they say disastrous mini—budget. do you think it's a good idea for a government in waiting or a government in waiting or a government to want to strengthen the obr? could the labour party come to regret that if they try and shift things around on the economy a bit more ? economy a bit more? >> i think strengthening and its kind of oversight of policy is no bad thing . but ultimately the no bad thing. but ultimately the obr is only an advisory organisation. it's up to ministers to decide what they want to do and to make decisions accordingly. and what the obr is not going to be able to do is to come up with an economic strategy that's going to rebuild the british economy. that is the responsibility chancellor the british economy. that is the resp the bility chancellor the british economy. that is the respthe shadow chancellorllor the british economy. that is the respthe shadow chancellor and and the shadow chancellor and politicians broadly. so politicians more broadly. so i think expect that obr think if people expect that obr giving it a few more powers,

that suddenly going to rebuild confidence and trust in the british and get turbo british economy and get us turbo charged that's the charged. but that's not the answer. but what the obr can do is give people confidence in the data that's underpinning some of those decisions . and i think those decisions. and i think we've seen in recent past that having in the process having confidence in the process by which we make policy decisions is important. but again, it's not a silver bullet for getting i think i think also there's the concern that the obr is not always highly accurate in its forecasts. >> so there is that issue, too. thank you very much indeed, andrew o'brien, director of policy impact at the think policy and impact at the think tank demos. thank very much tank demos. thank you very much for that's it for for your time. so that's it for this anywhere this hour. but don't go anywhere shortly. we'll back in dover, shortly. we'll be back in dover, as can reveal that as gb news can reveal that around 1000 people have crossed the channel just in recent days. see you very shortly

>> tired of the usual focus tested, pre—prepared westminster run—around. well, so am i. so you want higher taxes? is your department to blame for this? are you rethinking this policy? every sunday at 930 i'll be sitting down with those in power to get the truth about the issues affecting you. let's be honest, we've known about the cost pressures of this project for years, not months. that's the camilla tominey show. a politics show with personality on gb news the people's channel, britain's news channel . britain's news channel. >> good afternoon. it is 2:00.

you're with gb news. live with me, emily carver. so here's what's coming up this afternoon on rishi sunak has vowed to take on rishi sunak has vowed to take on anyone standing in the government's way over the rwanda plan. after former home plan. that's after former home secretary braverman said secretary suella braverman said the government will fail to send a single asylum rwanda a single asylum seeker to rwanda under the current plan. it comes as gb news can reveal that around people have crossed around 1000 people have crossed the just in recent days, the channel just in recent days, will live in dover and mps will be live in dover and mps under threat. commons leader penny mordaunt has said that some mps have come under increased threat after they voted against backing for voted against backing calls for a ceasefire in gaza and everton points deduction in the merseyside club has been found guilty of breaching financial and sustainable rules, but have vowed to appeal the punishment. we'll find out what happens next. all of that and more to come after your latest headlines with tatiana . emily thank you. with tatiana. emily thank you. >> 2:01. this is the latest from the newsroom. the prime minister

says he's determined to get his plan to deport asylum seekers to rwanda through as quickly as possible, despite opposition . possible, despite opposition. >> when will the prime minister rescue the rwanda plan? mrs. braverman it's after the former home secretary said his attempts will fail unless he opts out of the european convention on human rights. >> suella braverman, who was sacked this week, says the proposed new treaty and legislation ian, are simply a tweaked version of the failed plan. a mrs. braverman says rishi sunaks proposal will get bogged down in the courts, but he says he will take on anyone standing in his way. >> we've got to get the rwanda plan up and running . >> we've got to get the rwanda plan up and running. i will do whatever it takes to make that happen. people sick of this happen. people are sick of this merry round . i want end merry go round. i want to end it. my is wearing thin it. my patience is wearing thin like else is. that's like everyone else is. that's why our emergency legislation will make it crystal clear that rwanda is safe for these purposes. it meets all the concerns that people have raised because of our new arrangement with them. we want to stop because of our new arrangement withmorel. we want to stop because of our new arrangement withmore domestic want to stop because of our new arrangement withmore domestic challengesp because of our new arrangement withmore domestic challenges to any more domestic challenges to this program. and i've also been

clear that we won't let a foreign court stand the way foreign court stand in the way of a flight off to of us getting a flight off to rwanda. keir starmer has rwanda. sir keir starmer has pledged to make britain a clean energy superpower . energy superpower. >> the labour leaders in aberdeen, where he's told industry bosses support up industry bosses he'll support up to 50,000 jobs in scotland if his party wins the next election . his visit comes at the end of a challenging week, suffering a major rebellion over his position the war in gaza . gb position on the war in gaza. gb news understands there's concern even within the party of a growing rift between sir keir and scottish labour leader and the scottish labour leader anas sarwar . msps look likely to anas sarwar. msps look likely to back an amendment in holyrood next week calling for a ceasefire . the labour ceasefire. but the labour leader says his party is united the says his party is united on the issue , alleviating the suffering issue, alleviating the suffering and a two state solution and making sure we get there. >> there is complete unity in the labour party . hostages are the labour party. hostages are being held as we have this conversation, as people are dying in gaza, as we have this conversation . and i'm sure conversation. and i'm sure you'll understand that my focus is on how we alleviate that

situation, not questions of labour party management to 12 year old boys have been remanded into youth detention at birmingham magistrates court charged with murder and possessing a machete. >> they're accused of killing 19 year old sean zahawi zahawi, who was attacked in wolverhampton on monday night and died at the scene. they'll appear in court again on monday. scene. they'll appear in court again on monday . yosef puskar again on monday. yosef puskar has been sentenced to life in prison for the murder of a school teacher in county offaly . school teacher in county offaly. 23 year old ashley murphy was killed while exercising on a canal path in tullamore in january last year. mr justice tony hunt described the sentencing as wholly deserved . sentencing as wholly deserved. ashlyn's partner has said they'd met when they were teenagers and simply couldn't get enough of each other . the retail sales each other. the retail sales have unexpectedly fallen , have unexpectedly fallen, dropping to their lowest level since the pandemic. dropping to their lowest level since the pandemic . the office since the pandemic. the office for national statistics says retail sales volumes dipped 03%

rwanda plan. >> this comes as downing street has not ruled out the prospect of mps debating an emergency law to tackle channel crossings over christmas. so in a damning article , home secretary suella article, home secretary suella braverman set out her own ideas to end the deadlock , claiming to end the deadlock, claiming that tinkering with a failed plan not the boats. so plan will not stop the boats. so let's cross straight to westminster our westminster and speak with our political correspondent olivia utley olivia. thank you very much indeed , ed this morning and much indeed, ed this morning and this afternoon, we've heard from both rishi sunak, the prime minister, and sir keir starmer, the labour leader . what did the labour leader. what did they have to say? bring us up to date i >> -- >> well, rishi sunak made a statement this morning . it was statement this morning. it was essentially repeating what he said in the commons the other day. he has a plan, a plan b as he calls it. though suella braverman disagrees to sort of circumnavigate that supreme court judgement that deems the rwanda plan illegal. he is making a treaty with rwanda,

where rwanda will promise essentially to upgrade some of its application system process and put it more in line with human rights laws, which hopefully will mean that rishi sunakis hopefully will mean that rishi sunak is then able to put through this emergency legislation in order to deem rwanda a safe country . now, the rwanda a safe country. now, the statement that he made today was saying all that again and pointing out again how much he cares about the small boats crisis. he was he was really hamming up the rhetoric here saying this is a this is a top priority for him. he knows how important it is for everyone in the country and basically trying to nip in the bud any sort of backlash from that really blistering in the blistering article in the telegraph braverman. telegraph by suella braverman. meanwhile all keir starmer is having a great time saying that there is now no chance which suella braverman agrees with, that will be taking that any flights will be taking off by the end of this year and probably not by an election. he is saying that the conservatives immigration has failed what

immigration plan has failed what he wants to do the labour plan for immigration is to smash up the gangs. now i've spoken to quite a lot of conservatives who say, yes, easier said than done. obviously what the obviously that's what the conservative been conservative government has been trying well. then the trying to do as well. then the other of keir starmer's other part of keir starmer's plan agreement with plan is a returns agreement with the eu whereby why britain sends back some of the migrants who have come here illegally across the channel back to france, and in exchange takes a quota of some of the eu's 20 eu's 27 countries migrants who come over there. the uk would take a quota of them. now that policy isn't too popular with brexiteers. i've spoken to both labour voters and conservative voters because they essentially feel that it would be a betrayal of the spirit of brexit. so that's where the two parties stand now . where the two parties stand now. now they both have immigration policies, but i think it's fair to say there are quite a lot of holes in both sets. >> it would appear so. olivia

keir starmer was also asked about his party and the state of it frontbenchers resigning over the labour party's refusal to back a ceasefire in the israel—hamas war. he said well he essentially tried to avoid the question, saying this isn't about internal politics, it's in the labour party and wanted to talk instead about the release of hostages and avoiding civilian casualties . tis very civilian casualties. tis very difficult time for the labour leader with regards to the israel gaza war, we saw how a labour mp in bethnal green had huge crowds outside her constituency office complaining and protesting her on her decision to not back a ceasefire i >> -- >> well, absolutely. it's a very difficult time for the labour leader. it's probably the biggest challenge to his leadership for about three years. of course , no one's years. of course, no one's particularly concerned about that at the moment because the

conservatives are an even bigger trouble. but that doesn't take away from what keir starmer is facing at the moment. of course , facing at the moment. of course, 56 of his mps. that's nearly a third of the parliamentary labour party voted against the labour party voted against the labour whip the other day in favour of a ceasefire and israel and gaza and eight ministers had to resign, among them jess phillips, a very, very popular figure in the labour party who has a following of her own. now the problem has has deep and if you like, keir starmer is up in scotland today and anna sanwa, the leader of scottish labour. labour has a completely different approach to keir starmer on this question of a ceasefire. it's thought that labour msps in scotland will vote for a ceasefire when the debate comes to holyrood on tuesday. now does it matter if keir starmer and the labour leader in scotland disagree on on what happens in israel, in gaza, at the moment, probably not. as keir starmer himself was

pretty much indicating today, it doesn't hugely impact anything. what the opposition in the uk votes on whether to whether israel and gaza should have a ceasefire. it won't impact middle eastern policy at all. that's said, if labour were to be the government then having a massive disagreement on such a crucial foreign foreign policy issue between than the labour leader in england and the labour leader in england and the labour leader in england and the labour leader in scotland would probably really undermine party discipline and would give the conservatives in opposition quite a lot of ammunition, if you like. yes indeed. >> thank you very much indeed, olivia utley, our political correspondent, live from westminster, bringing us up to date on what's going on with regards to the rwanda plan, but also the internal politics of the labour party over the israel hamas war. now, on the week, rishi sunak vowed to get his rwanda scheme back on track and stop the boats. gb news can reveal that actually around 1000 people have crossed in small boats recent days. our

boats just in recent days. our home and security editor mark white is in dover for us. mark, i believe you have an update . i believe you have an update. yeah well, a thousand so far this week and more . this week and more. >> more will be on their way very shortly now because we're at high tide across in france , at high tide across in france, which means that the boats will attempt to push off from the beaches of northwestern france . beaches of northwestern france. one of our contacts saying that they believed that a number of boats are heading down towards the beach in an effort to try to do that. we do know that there are french vessels patrol vessels off the coast of france at the moment at various locations, as well as french lifeboats . and on this side of lifeboats. and on this side of the channel border force getting ready, gearing up to go out as well. should these boats be spotted in the water? what happens , of course, is they then happens, of course, is they then go under what they call escort. so effectively, the french do

not intervene. they have tried in the early days of this crisis , pass to speak to migrants on these boats to try to persuade them to get on their boats and return to france. but of course, they don't want to do that. they want to get to uk waters and so what the french do is they just follow them effectively, escort them from a few hundred metres away from those boats. so should they get into any difficulty and not reach perhaps the halfway line across to the uk and into uk territorial waters, then the french will intervene at that point , but french will intervene at that point, but most of them that do attempt usually get to that line and then they're met by border force or indeed rnli vessels on the point of crossing that line. then they're picked up and taken to dover . and we know that to dover. and we know that already this year that number is

at 27,700. now, the prime minister is right to say that the number has fallen by about a third on where we were are at this time last year. but those channel watchers that we speak to down here very regularly say that it really has everything to do with the weather and very little to do with government policy . see why we're seeing policy. see why we're seeing this reduction in in the numbers crossing . and i say it's crossing. and i say it's a reduction . we're still talking reduction. we're still talking close to 28,000. and with the weather is quite good today and a few hundred more probably likely to attempt to cross today if we get good weather later into november and even in december , we could see a few december, we could see a few thousand more onto that total by the end of the year. and again, if we have a good year next yean if we have a good year next year, well , let's see what the year, well, let's see what the numbers are because what's been unusual about this year is we've had prevailing north, northerly

north easterly winds, which have the result of kind of pushing against those boats, trying to take off from the beaches of north—west and france. they also churn up the prevailing tides and make it just a bit more impassable for these small boats. and that's why i think we're not seeing the same numbers this year as we did last yeah numbers this year as we did last year. but as i say, i go back to this point, it's still significant, close to 28,000 across since the 1st of january. >> thank you very much indeed. mark white, our homeland security editor there in dover. now, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has admitted that israel has not been successful in minimising civilian casualties in gaza , but civilian casualties in gaza, but he laid the blame squarely at the door of hamas. he said the terror group clearly didn't give a hoot about the palestinian earns as it is using them as human shields he human shields, he said. meanwhile, secretary of state meanwhile, us secretary of state

antony has reiterated antony blinken has reiterated america's stance that gaza cannot be reoccupied by israel. at the end of the conflict as israel troops claim to have found a tunnel shaft used by hamas terrorists at gaza's al—shifa hospital, which has been subject to an idf military operation over the last few days. let's go live to jerusalem now and speak to israeli diplomat and former ambassador to germany, jeremy issacharoff. thank you very much indeed for your time. jeremy huge amounts of international attention on this conflict, of course, continues to be more and more western leaders coming out in favour of at least a pause in the conflict, if not a full on ceasefire. are you comfortable with how israel are conducting this . war? this. war? >> first of all, it's a very tough war to conduct, having been attacked in the way we were attacked on october 7th when the border was quiet and hamas invaded and took a number of israeli towns and villages,

killed 1400 people. >> only today we buried one of the soldiers that was kidnapped by hamas . uh, she was videoed by hamas. uh, she was videoed live from gaza and she was found dead by the idf in the area of the shifa hospital . so this dead by the idf in the area of the shifa hospital. so this is a very tough time . and as you very tough time. and as you said, we are trying to minimise as much as possible any impact on civilians . unlike as much as possible any impact on civilians. unlike hamas, which is only attacks civilians hidden behind their own civilians and embedded there military capabilities and mosques , schools and hospitals . mosques, schools and hospitals. thatis mosques, schools and hospitals. that is the reality of what we're facing and what we're trying to achieve . trying to achieve. >> i completely understand where you're coming from, but do you believe that israel and the israel defence forces are doing enough to try and limit civilian casualties? we know that that death toll in gaza continues to increase by the day .

increase by the day. >> first of all, i would take issue with that. >> i think actually in the last few days, there's been a dramatic decrease in the number of civilians resulting from the fact that we have implored palestinians living in the north now for three or so, even more four weeks to go south and to leave the areas of conflict. >> so i would say that the number of civilian casualties has actually gone down. and in that sense , it is something that that sense, it is something that we are very sensitive to. and obviously we let's not forget, we're also still defending our own citizens . rocket attacks are own citizens. rocket attacks are still happening not only from gaza, but also in the north from hezbollah. so this is a particularly challenging moment as yesterday day there was in the south of jerusalem , also the south of jerusalem, also a terrorist attack in which one israeli was killed . so this is israeli was killed. so this is a very multi—front challenge that

we have to face. but we will continue to try and reduce any impact on the on civilians , on impact on the on civilians, on whether on our civilians or on the palestinian civilians . and i the palestinian civilians. and i have no doubt that hamas will continue to target our civilians and hide behind their own civilians . civilians. >> yeah, and i'm sure you've seen that the us secretary of state, antony blinken, has come out quite strongly to say that there's an urgent need for affirmative steps, he says, to de—escalate tensions in the west bank, including by confronting rising levels of settler extremist violence. what do you say to that? is that a shift of tone from the secretary of state >> well, first of all, i would totally agree with him. >> and i think that, you know, no one can take the law into their own hands. no one can take the law into their own hands . and the only their own hands. and the only people that are entitled to work to keep stability and law and order is the israeli army . so

order is the israeli army. so i do not have a problem with that. we need to keep stability in the west bank, contain also. let's face it, the terrorist attack in jerusalem yesterday was admitted to by hamas and carried out by hamas known hamas operatives. so it is something that we have to deal with. and but i have i believe that one of the outcomes of this whole war has to be a solution between israelis and palestinians , a two state palestinians, a two state solution , if that would be solution, if that would be possible. and in something, we have to start thinking about in the day after this, this war. so, yes. >> and to just just to finish, i would appreciate your opinion on what's happening on the streets of the uk. we've seen for weeks now since the initial attack, since hamas conduct that terror attack on the israeli people. we've seen protests against the israeli response as every single week we understand that mps who

voted didn't vote in favour of a ceasefire in this country have now been feeling under threat. the commons leader has said as such that mps are under threat in this country. such that mps are under threat in this country . your reaction in this country. your reaction to how this is all unfolding in western countries ? western countries? >> well, look, it's obviously we appreciate very much the support of the leadership and the solidarity that has been shown by a number of european countries, particularly england and also germany . it's very and also germany. it's very important for us and i think they realise the challenge that we're facing. we did not seek this war. we were not planning to invade and have a major land incursion into gaza . we weren't incursion into gaza. we weren't planning on losing 1400 of our civilians to be massacred . so civilians to be massacred. so we, you know, we had this sorry, sorry to just interrupt. >> i just want to squeeze in one more question while i've got you . a lot of people watching this conflict understand entirely why

israel wants to annihilate hamas after the awful atrocity of october the seventh. a lot of people now thinking about what comes next, what happens to gaza next? who takes over ? next? who takes over? >> yeah, well , it's next? who takes over? >> yeah, well, it's a next? who takes over? >> yeah, well , it's a clear >> yeah, well, it's a clear question that has to be related to and i would imagine there would be a need to have some sort of international coalition on with working in coordination with israel, working in coordination with the palestinian authority . we've palestinian authority. we've already seen offers from some of the gulf states, from the united arab emirates in terms of helping the humanitarian situation very dramatically in gaza. so we have to start thinking, as i said before , of thinking, as i said before, of the day after and how we move with this whole situation onto a track that would be a political framework to secure an eventual agreement between israelis and palestinians. this, of agreement between israelis and palestinians . this, of course, palestinians. this, of course, is totally anathema to hamas . is totally anathema to hamas. hamas did not do this in order to get to a political solution .

to get to a political solution. they did it in order to undermine any possibility of peace between israel and the palestinians. and that is why that must remain one of the major goals of this of this operation . operation. >> thank you very much indeed for your time . jeremiah zakharov for your time. jeremiah zakharov , israeli diplomat and former ambassador to germany. thank you very much for your time this afternoon. now, coming up, shocking news for everton fans as the football club is deducted ten points by the premier league after breaching profit rules. see you shortly

isabel monday to thursdays from. six till 930 . now some sporting six till 930. now some sporting news everton have received a ten point deduction for breaching the premier league's profit and sustainability rules. >> it's a landmark punishment for domestic football and has left the merseyside club 19th in the table and in danger of relegation. everton have said they intend to appeal against they intend to appeal against the decision . so joining me now the decision. so joining me now for all the reaction is our sports broadcaster aidan magee aiden. explain to me what this means for the club . well, it means for the club. well, it depends which way you go with it , emily. >> really. >> really. >> i mean, the nuts and bolts of the punishment to start with is that everton posted losses of £372 million over a three year period, which is £250 million above what's permitted by the premier league. now, these rules were laid down from 2013 by the premier league, their own profit

and sustainability rules, which which served alongside the ones already issued by uefa, which some clubs have already fallen foul of . foul of. >> now, the issue here is that, yes, reduced to yes, they've been reduced to 19th in the table and just four points. i think they've got a fighting chance of getting out of that situation. but what i did interest was did look at with interest was the colin cheong , the statement by colin cheong, the statement by colin cheong, the who didn't seem the interim ceo, who didn't seem to have a problem with the with the actual laying down of the punishment and the fact that they were guilty. but he did have a problem with the severity of it. so i honestly believe, emily, that they're going to accept the punishment. but what they're going against they're going to appeal against is deep this goes. is just how deep this goes. because if they can reduce this from points, from ten points to five points, that huge difference in that makes a huge difference in the of league table . the context of the league table. and they have a and i think they have a reasonable of doing that. reasonable chance of doing that. when was about this a few when i was told about this a few months ago, i expected that a punishment to 5 punishment of maybe 3 to 5 points would be reasonable . we points would be reasonable. we also consider the also have to consider the politics behind this as well. emily, just last week in the king's speech, saw

king's speech, we saw confirmation from king charles that the onset or that we would see the onset or the setting up, should put it, the setting up, i should put it, of football regulator. the of the football regulator. the premier absolutely premier league is absolutely petrified of there being a football regulator. and the fact that group of people can inspect the books. they don't want that. so they want to be seen to be deaung so they want to be seen to be dealing with problems in house in appropriate manner. but in the appropriate manner. but in the appropriate manner. but in time, think in the fullness of time, i think you'll this you'll probably see this this punishment reduced from maybe ten to around about 5 or 6 points. >> w— points. >> you know, aidan, why >> and do you know, aidan, why everton's got itself into this position? are they haemorrhaging huge amounts of money for one reason, or is this just a case of financial mismanagement? how bad the problem and did bad is the problem and how did they there? bad is the problem and how did the all there? bad is the problem and how did the all of here? bad is the problem and how did the all of thee? bad is the problem and how did the all of the above really, >> all of the above really, emily mean, you'd have to say emily i mean, you'd have to say that the spending on players over the last five, years over the last five, six years since moshiri bought into since farhad moshiri bought into the absolutely the club has been absolutely feckless. very, very few of those signings has off. those signings has come off. you'd to probably match it you'd have to probably match it up against manchester united's record sir alex ferguson record since sir alex ferguson left the club in they have left the club in 2013, they have haemorrhaged terms of left the club in 2013, they have hae stadium 3d terms of left the club in 2013, they have hae stadium project. terms of left the club in 2013, they have hae stadium project. i terms of left the club in 2013, they have hae stadium project. i mean,1s of the stadium project. i mean, when i haemorrhaging, that's when i say haemorrhaging, that's the it's

the wrong word because it's going fantastic going to be a fantastic facility, but it does take money to run it. it does take money to keep to sustain keep it going, to sustain it because obviously building a stadium all planning stadium with all the planning implications and the problems they beginning they had at the very beginning with issues , that means with teething issues, that means that five year it that over a five year period, it swallows up there was swallows up money. there was also affected in a big also they were affected in a big way everything else that way by everything else that every in the country way by everything else that everaffected in the country way by everything else that everaffected by, in the country way by everything else that everaffected by, in tithat untry way by everything else that everaffected by, in tithat was/ was affected by, and that was the covid money. because the loss of covid money. because some of this period covers the covid in general, covid area. but in general, generally speaking, you spend generally speaking, if you spend all that money but you still can't breach champions can't breach the champions league the top four and league places the top four and you don't get into that, then you don't get into that, then you suffer a revenue drop because you can throw money at a situation . but don't situation. but if you don't achieve what you to achieve what you want to achieve, get any of achieve, you don't get any of it coming and players are coming back and your players are partly that. partly to blame for that. but i think they constantly chase the golden didn't golden goose and it didn't arrive because in fairness to them, so difficult them, it's so difficult to compete manchester compete with manchester city, manchester united, chelsea, tottenham , etcetera. and that's tottenham, etcetera. and that's what foul of, same what they fallen foul of, same as many other clubs down as many other clubs have down the including leeds the years, including leeds united. ago united. 20 years ago you suggested there be suggested that there might be room manoeuvre, some

room for some manoeuvre, some negotiation on this ten points. >> so could they actually could it being 5 or 3? as you said? >> yeah, i think i think it could. i mean, i'll take you back to an example from 1994, tottenham hotspur , where a tottenham hotspur, where a premier club time, premier league club at the time, although punishment although the punishment back then actually down by then was actually handed down by then was actually handed down by the irregular payments to the fa for irregular payments to players. happened players. now what happened then was tottenham were was that tottenham were clobbered for points. so even clobbered for 12 points. so even worse than you have here, worse than what you have here, and was a 22 team league back and it was a 22 team league back then, steadily they then, but just steadily they appealed and appealed top six club. at the time they appealed and got it reduced to six points. also lost their points. they also lost their place in the cup and received place in the fa cup and received a over the course a £600,000 fine over the course of season. they got six of the season. they got six points they got the points back then. they got the full back then they full 12 points back then they got their cup back and got their fa cup place back and got their fa cup place back and got all the way to the semi—final where they lost to everton funnily enough, and they just size the just increased the size of the fine i think it fine from £600,000. i think it was about 1.5. so over the course the fullness of course and over the fullness of time, lawyers to time, the lawyers managed to receive the retrieve the situation . i that everton situation. i fancy that everton will fancy their chances of will will fancy their chances of doing same as doing that as well. same as manchester have done by

manchester city have done by stalling . but if stalling the process. but if there appeal, it's there is an appeal, then it's going dealt with going to have to be dealt with quickly. because this quickly. emily, because this can't into next season. can't run into next season. another like to get another time i'd like to get into deeper into the idea of into get deeper into the idea of this football regulator. >> i know there are lots of people worried about the consequences of such a thing, but very much for your but thank you very much for your time. magee, sports time. aidan magee, our sports journalist there, sports correspondent. you correspondent. thank you very much indeed. now coming up, meghan to meghan markle has returned to the hinting that she the red carpet, hinting that she has some exciting projects ahead. i wonder what they could be that. headlines be before that. your headlines with . with tatiana. >> emily, thank you. this is the latest from the newsroom. the prime minister says he's determined to get his plan to deport migrants to rwanda , go deport migrants to rwanda, go through as quickly as possible. despite the opposition . despite the opposition. >> will the prime minister rescue the rwanda plan? mrs. braverman it's after the former home secretary said his attempts will fail unless he opts out of the european convention on human rights. >> suella braverman , who was >> suella braverman, who was

sacked this week, says the proposed new treaty and legislation are simply a tweaked version of the failed plan. a mrs. braverman says rishi sunaks proposal will get bogged down in the courts, but he says he will take on anyone standing in his way. >> we've got to get the rwanda plan up and running . >> we've got to get the rwanda plan up and running. i will do whatever it takes to make that happen. people are sick of this merry go round. i want to end it. my patience is wearing thin like is. that's like everyone else is. that's why our emergency legislation will make it crystal clear that rwanda is safe for these purposes. it meets all the concerns that people have raised because our new arrangement because of our new arrangement with them, and want to stop with them, and we want to stop any domestic challenges to any more domestic challenges to this program. and i've also been clear that won't clear that we won't let a foreign court stand in the way clear that we won't let a forus n court stand in the way clear that we won't let a forus getting stand in the way clear that we won't let a forus getting aand in the way clear that we won't let a forus getting a flight the way clear that we won't let a forus getting a flight offs way clear that we won't let a forus getting a flight off to ay of us getting a flight off to rwanda. >> english premier league football club everton has had ten points deducted for breaches of profit and sustainability rules following a five day heanng rules following a five day hearing last month, the commission found everton's losses during the 20 2122 season amounted . to £124.5 million.

helen mirren. but no, no, i think it's appalling. but that is the truth of the matter. usually in hollywood. so whether she has a future . but as you she has a future. but as you say, she was a bit coy about the success or the renewed success, the renaissance of suits . could the renaissance of suits. could it be anything to do with the fact that she married a royal prince? could her success do you know what? she was invited , know what? she was invited, michael? anything to do? i mean, someone with someone with a bit of a bit of a sense of humour and able to laugh at themselves would say, i imagine if i was if i was meghan markle and i was asked that question, i'd be like, well, you know, it's probably something to do probably got something to do with fact i married with the fact i married a prince. >> just maybe, you know, to >> just maybe, you know, just to show little of show a bit little bit of self—awareness and, you know, the laugh at oneself. the ability to laugh at oneself. that's not the the ability to laugh at oneself. that of not the the ability to laugh at oneself. that of vacuous not the the ability to laugh at oneself. thatof vacuous statementst the the ability to laugh at oneself. thatof vacuous statements about sort of vacuous statements about how to people how she wants to make people feel something . feel something. >> well, you won't have. you disagreeing with that statement. i'm with you 100. no, this self somebody said, know thyself . and somebody said, know thyself. and that's the key to it all. and
