migration last year was . migration last year was. a whopping 745,000. >> lee anderson thank you, madam speaker . speaken >> other than the people in ashfield have had enough of this, 7000 people on the council house waiting list, people struggling to get a gp appointment, people struggling to get a dental appointment, struggling to get school places, isn't about time minister, that we had a cap on migration and put some clear divide between us and that lot over there . and that lot over there. >> yeah, is, sir. well my >> yeah, it is, sir. well my honourable friend who represents the constituency near to mine, speaks for my constituents as he does for his . does for his. >> in saying that the british pubuc >> in saying that the british public want us to get on with the job now and bring down the numbers coming this numbers coming into this country. the prime minister the home secretary and i are committed bringing forward committed to bringing forward a set fundamental reforms which set of fundamental reforms which ihope set of fundamental reforms which i hope do achieve the i hope will do achieve the objective that that he's set out there are definitely strong arguments for using caps , arguments for using caps, whether in general or on

specific visas , but these are specific visas, but these are conversations that we need to conclude within government. >> well, i'm joined now by gb news political editor christopher hope. chris, always a pleasure . last night, lee a pleasure. last night, lee jacob rees—mogg saying the issue of immigration could cost the tories the next general election. you don't say. and then lee anderson just roaring in the comments. people in ashfield have had enough of this, no doubt echoing the sentiment of millions of people out out there. it's only tuesday chopper and by my reckoning this is about the sixth immigration nightmare the conservatives have had this week already. >> i think lee anderson is really eloquently setting out the pressure that allowing well over 700,000 people net through the front door in in the calendar year last year, putting on local services, he said there there are 7000 people waiting, waiting for a council house, people struggling to get a gp appointment in ashfield, go to the dentist and so it goes on

and the impact i think , and that's the impact i think, of these figures of allowing this these figures to balloon markedly. 1.2 to balloon so markedly. 1.2 million people arrived here legally . lee million people arrived here legally. lee in million people arrived here legally . lee in the two years to legally. lee in the two years to the end of june 2022, forget all the end of june 2022, forget all the small boats issue. that's a symptom of a wider malaise in immigration policy. and it sounds the first time in that clip there we heard from the house of commons earlier that immigration robert immigration minister robert jenrick it . jenrick robert jenrick gets it. he said there, didn't he, though? definitely strong arguments caps , arguments for using caps, whether in general or on specific visas. now we know what the caps is going back towards where the government was, the tory government was when they were first elected in 2010. they said that david said said that david cameron said there, think following at the there, i think following at the time, green, who was the time, damian green, who was the immigration minister , said we immigration minister, said we should bring numbers down to tens thousands year net tens of thousands a year net well seven four 2000 is a country mile, a different planet from anything below 100,000. so caps might work and that might mean that as people as you approach that you may approach that cap, you may increase threshold to increase the salary threshold to get a visa from, say , £26,000

get a visa from, say, £26,000 a year currently to maybe £40,000 a year, as advocated by boris johnson and former home secretary suella braverman. so we are now starting to see an indication of where the government is going. but lee anthony is right in that he is articulating a real anger amongst the tory, right amongst red wall seats that lee anderson and others represent and get control of our borders . that's control of our borders. that's what many of them people people voted for in 2016. and so far , voted for in 2016. and so far, this government has failed to do so. it shows to me that there's some big measures coming, but don't you think we've had so much talk of caps? >> i mean, david cameron talks about them every subsequent government did, too. even ed miliband was talking about caps. it feels like we've had more caps than bobby moore in all these conversations. nothing these conversations. yet nothing ever happens. nothing ever comes of and isn't that the of it. chris and isn't that the point ? you lee anderson's point? you know, lee anderson's angenl point? you know, lee anderson's anger, i think is palpable angen anger, i think is palpable anger. you can taste the anger now is what voters are feeling. and cheryl jacobs, one of your

former columnists in the telegraph today, saying that the liberal elites have never been more out of touch with the british public over this topic of immigration. it makes brexit look a tea party . and isn't look like a tea party. and isn't the point that in places like ashfield, where lee speaks to voters and he gets it , but ashfield, where lee speaks to voters and he gets it, but in the shires where they're not affected by this, they live in a never land the issue i >> -- >> well that's right. it is a shy as you describe there are the ones who benefit from from it, from high immigration. it's brought down the cost of building, cost of having a finding a builder. that kind of thing is being made cheaper by by large numbers of migrant builders coming here to work. and that's that's the problem. it's an issue which is felt away from westminster. and that's why we about it a lot on gb we talk about it a lot on gb news. and the main parties don't want about it because want to talk about it because guess labour's answer guess what? labour's answer on this is really as this is barely is not really as strong the tory answer. the strong as the tory answer. the tory answer is to try and deal with the net, the illegal crossings southern crossings over the southern border with this rwanda plan.

again, that's up in the air and that's talked up by the prime minister labour has nothing minister labour has got nothing they talk about working they want to talk about working more closely europol, more closely with europol, doing more closely with europol, doing more they can with more deals as best they can with countries the continent, countries on the continent, maybe looking quotas of maybe even looking at quotas of migrants some quotas migrants and moving some quotas of into the uk other of people into the uk from other countries to try and have a cross approach towards countries to try and have a crc none approach towards countries to try and have a crc none of approach towards countries to try and have a crc none of these �*oach towards countries to try and have a crc none of these are1 towards countries to try and have a crc none of these are goingrds countries to try and have a crc none of these are going to it. none of these are going to work i think it's really work and i think it's really important gets important that a party gets this. lee anderson, of course, is co—deputy chairman is a is co—deputy chairman of the party. he someone who the party. he is someone who talks authority . he the talks with authority. he the fact he's asking such an aggressive of aggressive question of the frontbencher jenrick frontbencher robert jenrick shows the fury on the backbenches shows, even though leanderson is a kind of role within the party. and that's why i think we are going to it's building up a head of steam behind some strong behind it for some strong measures. caps measures. but as you say, caps haven't worked the past. haven't worked in the past. they're hard to enforce because it's very to know where you it's very hard to know where you draw the line. but i think at some point, this government, government has in its government has got, in its words, grasp the nettle, its grasp, on other key grasp, the nettle on other key policies, notably not jailing criminals less than year. criminals less than a year. let's can do this on

let's see if we can do this on on immigration. >> you think it's late to >> do you think it's too late to turn around now? i mean, turn this around now? i mean, we've been having this conversation so long, chris, conversation for so long, chris, and say that robert jenrick and to say that robert jenrick has finally woken up to it, i just find astonishing that it would come so late as we approach the end game of this political term to staring at political term to be staring at the reality of a city, the size of liverpool in student visas alone. is it too late for them to turn it around or is it simply going to engulf the party? >> well, nothing's ever too late . it depends when the election is in terms of too late, because if it's an early election, might be they can't do anything on immigration go to immigration before they go to the may june next the polls in may orjune next yeah the polls in may orjune next year. they go longer into year. if they go longer into october, november, they risk having small boats, having some small boats, crossings how bad that that crossings and how bad that that will them. if rwanda will look for them. if rwanda can't i they can't happen. yeah, i think they have to do this. i mean have failed to do this. i mean in sense it's all on the tory in a sense it's all on the tory government. this this this bold both the net both migration, but the net legal migration is all about all about choice. the government's made to increase and to allow more coming the

more nervous coming through the battle. have. of battle. they always have. of course, the treasury who course, is with the treasury who want roughly £240,000, 240,000 people to arrive here each year. net to keep the economy growing and boost the economy while so far allowing millions to sit on benefits not working. and he's trying to get them back to work and control migration. it looks like the government's getting it, but to get results for the election is looking very tight indeed. >> martin okay, chris, thank you for that update live from westminster. we'll continue this conversation. i'm joined now by conservative mp alexander stafford. alexander welcome to gb news. always a pleasure. lee anderson just stood up in the chamber and roared. people in ashfield have had enough of this talking of course about the huge numbers of immigration. you're the mp for rother valley . are the mp for rother valley. are they saying the same? they're to you . you. >> they're they're saying that if not even louder and clearer than they're saying in ashford . than they're saying in ashford. >> okay. so what do you intend to do about it ? to do about it? >> well, we need to make sure

the government actually grasp the government actually grasp the message and actually gets the message and actually gets the numbers both illegal the numbers down, both illegal and is and legal migration is completely unsustainable. and legal migration is complethaving;ustainable. and legal migration is complethaving this inable. and legal migration is complethaving this huge. and legal migration is complethaving this huge amount they're having this huge amount of net migration . we need to get of net migration. we need to get them around the deal going. we need look and all ways need to look at any and all ways to clamp down on migration, legal and illegal. and, you know, if involves pulling know, if that involves pulling out the echr, let's at out of the echr, let's look at that. if that involves doing something let's something more drastic, let's look let's leave no look at that. let's leave no stone unturned. clear to stone unturned. make it clear to the to our people that the lecturer, to our people that we want to this down we want to clamp this down because cannot go on like because it cannot go on like this is the echr bit a this is the echr a bit of a bogeyman. >> reason i say that is >> and the reason i say that is because giorgia meloni in italy, italy's a member of echr. italy's a member of the echr. italy's a member of the echr. italy still member of the italy is still a member of the european union, yet they've done a in half the a deal with albania in half the time that the rwanda deal has failed to a single person failed to get a single person off the ground. ed think off the ground. ed you think people just getting people are just getting a bit bored you're bored of the fact that you're kind of always blaming the bogeyman in strasbourg? an actual responsibility actual fact the responsibility lies on the lies squarely on the conservative desk. >> @ i think desk. >> i think there's @ i think there's a desk. >> i think there's a big >> well, i think there's a big difference the uk's difference between our the uk's approach international approach to international law and treaties. approach to international law ancand treaties. approach to international law ancand of treaties. approach to international law ancand of ouraties. approach to international law ancand of our european >> and many of our european counterparts who often small

parts but on albania, as parts of it, but on albania, as you numbers are down you mentioned, numbers are down 90% albania. we need to 90% from albania. but we need to go faster with go further and faster with the small crossings. small boat crossings. >> when you at the >> okay. when you look at the disarray, jacob rees—mogg last night, we're having him on the show in about an hour's time. he said that this this issue could cost conservatives the next cost the conservatives the next general christopher general election. christopher hope a ago said robert hope a moment ago said robert jenrick up. jenrick is finally waking up. how has it taken so long for you to wake up the immigration minister? the top brass of the party when since every election from 2010 onwards, the conservative voters have been demanding that immigration has taken back control . and yet here taken back control. and yet here we are, 745,000 record numbers of students of skilled workers and people feeling that we've done anything but take back control . control. >> well, i voted for brexit. i campaigned for brexit for many reasons, including to take back control of our borders. >> it is right. we need to get hold of this. and that is why i said literally nothing should be

stopping us clamping down on immigration and i want the government when they bring forth the legislation the new legislation to be really, and really, really strong and really, really strong and really, robust. but really, really robust. but clearly, legislation clearly, the legislation that has through has been brought through the last hasn't last couple of times hasn't passed muster test, hasn't passed the muster test, hasn't actually got there yet. we need to actually better laws, to actually have better laws, better to actually better registration to actually stop stop the lawyers, to stop it, to stop the lawyers, to stop it, to stop the lawyers, to stop the labour party getting in the allowing it to the way. we're allowing it to happen. drafting happen. we should be drafting better it better legislation to get it past the law courts. >> it's been 13 years. sorry >> but it's been 13 years. sorry to point pun not to labour the point pun not intended and the conservatives have for 13 years. have been in power for 13 years. the pledge in 2019 was the manifesto pledge in 2019 was to cap overall numbers below 239,000. yet here we are this week. that's almost been tripled. you can't blame the labour party, you can't blame the european court of human rights. you guys are in power andifs rights. you guys are in power and it's almost trebled under your watch . your watch. >> yeah, yeah, i agree. and obviously we've had things like the ukraine visa system, afghanistan, hong kong , which afghanistan, hong kong, which massively inflate the numbers, but still not good enough. >> we still didn't bring it down. i want a hard cap. down. and i want a hard cap. i want a hard cap to and bring

want a hard cap to try and bring those numbers down and actually tie to tangible things like tie it to tangible things like housing such aspects housing and other such aspects of we of the government, because we need two the two need to link two the the two things together. and it's clearly not sustainable. and it needs the needs to be clear, the legislation that we legislation is clear that we need to stop it and stop people exploiting in the uk exploiting our system in the uk and are exploiting and clearly they are exploiting it and we need to have a tougher stance this. stance on this. >> alexander, you said >> and alexander, you said the people rother are people in rother valley are shouting even louder than those in had enough shouting even louder than those in this. had enough shouting even louder than those in this. jacob had enough shouting even louder than those in this. jacob rees—moggenough shouting even louder than those in this. jacob rees—mogg said|h of this. jacob rees—mogg said this issue could you the this issue could cost you the next election. do you next general election. do you think the next think it will cost you the next general is it too late general election? is it too late to turn this around ? to turn this around? >> think the next >> i honestly think the next general could be one of general election could be one of the main defining moments will be public trust more be who the public trust more when immigration or when it comes to immigration or other, actually get the other, who will actually get the job will it be the conservatives >> will it be the conservatives plan? and i hope so. like rwanda, actually a harder line plan? and i hope so. like rviwilla, actually a harder line plan? and i hope so. like rviwill it actually a harder line plan? and i hope so. like rviwill it be jally a harder line plan? and i hope so. like rviwill it be labour'sarder line plan? and i hope so. like rviwill it be labour's what line plan? and i hope so. like rviwill it be labour's what they or will it be labour's what they call plan, which actually call the plan, which actually taking numbers taking people out of the numbers so take students out of so they'll take students out of the numbers to try and massage the numbers to try and massage the figures? we're being honest exerted it's too exerted are saying it's far too high, it's including everyone we know labour going

sunday mornings from 930 on. gb news last night on state of the nation, the question of mass migration could cost the tory party the next election. >> mass migration is not the norm in our history. it's the exception. but i could identify suella. >> but i shouldn't be allowed into a woman's changing room . into a woman's changing room. >> quite right. >> quite right. >> but let's move on. i think the title end game can apply more perhaps to omid scobie's life does actually to life than it does actually to the monarchy . the monarchy. >> tune in tonight at 8:00 .

>> tune in tonight at 8:00. >> tune in tonight at 8:00. >> welcome back. it's 325. you're watching or listening to me. martin daubney gb news. me. martin daubney on gb news. now, in a few minutes, i'll look at the incredible claim from the head of the metropolitan police force that his armed officers would face a well trained would rather face a well trained terrorist than a british gangster because of fears of legal action. astonishing story and i'll ask whether itv is censoring mister brexit. nigel farage on i'm a celebrity, and i think the answer is yes, but first, let's get to the book about the royal family that they're all talking about. you'd like to avoid it, but good luck with that. you can't, because after weeks and weeks of extracts being made public, endgame been endgame has finally been published today. and guess what? a book written by a man described as harry and meghan's favour journalist described as harry and meghan's favourjournalist has described as harry and meghan's favour journalist has stuck the knife into the other royals. but the sussexes get an easy ride. some journalists have had the unpleasant job of having to trawl through omid scobie's book, and they didn't hold back.

anita singh from the telegraph. reid doesn't hold back at all, she says, and game is ludicrous propaganda for team sussex, and she calls it laughably partial, devoid of insight and bizarrely misogynistic. devoid of insight and bizarrely misogynistic . when we get a misogynistic. when we get a christmas card from her and she describes it as a hit job reading like a mumsnet post, hilary rose and the times , hilary rose and the times, meanwhile, says that omid scobie is breathless, belligerent and boring, and even the new york times weighed in with their writer, eva wolchover , saying writer, eva wolchover, saying the chapter about harry and meghan reads like a press release cooked up by chat. gpt well, i'm joined now in the studio by our royal correspondent cameron walker. cameron for starters, apologies to you. you've had to read this book. yes. and you've been talking about it all day. it hardly gets a glowing reception from the media. what's it actually like to read ? actually like to read? >> well, it's actually in terms of reading it, it's a very good read . it's well written. there's

read. it's well written. there's lots of juicy gossip in there. i suppose the question is, how much do we believe much of this gossip ? what it's not is gossip? what it's not is a biography of harry and meghan. there is a lot of analysis about how omid and his sources perceive the royal family is going to be in the future. and if it can survive in the modern day. but there is clearly a more sympathetic view of harry and meghan, compared to other members of the royal family in fact, harry and meghan, in my opinion , are perhaps painted as opinion, are perhaps painted as innocent victims in this, unlike the princess of wales, for example , l who is described as example, lwho is described as the monarchy's last shiny thing for many years to come and a part time working royal and giving the impression that she's only good for photo ops essentially . so it has upset as essentially. so it has upset as you as you read out there some of the comments, some big royal fans. of the comments, some big royal fans . i think of the comments, some big royal fans. i think the problem is that when it comes to how the palace is going to respond to this , they're not. and even

this, they're not. and even harry and meghan's team are not responding to this, suggesting to me perhaps they are trying to distance from it. but distance themselves from it. but you remember dominic cummings last book, finding freedom in 2021. originally, it was denied that meghan markle has any part in that book. but then in 2021 she apologised to the high court for forgetting. she allowed an aide brief omid and his aide to brief omid and his co—author carolyn durand, on that book. co—author carolyn durand, on tha so )ok. co—author carolyn durand, on tha so echoes of recollections >> so echoes of recollections may . one of the spiciest may vary. one of the spiciest revelations in the book was this conversation about archie's skin colour , which of course cut colour, which of course cut straight to the dog whistle of the royal family is racist. is there any more detail on that ? there any more detail on that? >> yeah. omid scobie goes into quite a lot of detail on that. so he now suggests that they there are alleged royal there are two alleged royal racists rather than one. if you remember back to 2021 oprah interview, meghan markle accused an unnamed member of the royal family questioning dark family of questioning how dark her unborn son's skin would be when he was born. and omid speaks about in his book, this letter exchange between charles

and meghan following that oprah interview in which two alleged royal racists are named. now, that letter hasn't been announced by hasn't been published by omid. it was originally published in the telegraph, not the full, full letter. but there's a big contrast here because if you remember, meghan sued the mail on sunday for publishing a section of her private letter to her father . so the question is, her father. so the question is, is she going to be upset that omid is talking about more private letters , which she has private letters, which she has written in this case to king charles? >> do you think it's really quite cowardly to sort of make this this really hurtful and defaming allegation? there are not one, but two racists in the royal family but then you don't name them. there's no proof. there's no verification . there's there's no verification. there's no source. it could be tittle tattle, but nevertheless incredibly damaging tittle tattle. >> so omid says he knows the he knows the identity of the two alleged royal racists , but will alleged royal racists, but will not name them for legal reasons,

i.e. he doesn't want to get sued in omid defence. he is entitled to free speech and he is a royal journalist and does have sources on both sides either team sussex or team royal family. but clearly it looks like there's a lot more members of team sussex speaking to him and giving him information on this. so so briefly, cameron, it's called end game. >> is it end game? do you think, for the relationship between the sussexes and the rest of the royal family? >> i think when it comes to william and catherine, yes, i think it's very hard to see how they're going to come back from that any time soon. but i do know because source has told know because the source has told me close to the sussexes that harry and meghan both spoke to the on birthday last the king on his birthday last week a happy week to wish him a happy birthday. kind of olive birthday. so some kind of olive branch being extended branch is still being extended in direction. in that direction. >> optimistic soul, >> you're an optimistic soul, even many, many hours of even after many, many hours of talking about book. thank even after many, many hours of talkvery bout book. thank even after many, many hours of talkvery bout superb. thank even after many, many hours of talkvery bout superb stuff.|k you very much. superb stuff. thank cameron morgan. thank you. cameron morgan. still, lots more now still, there's lots more now to come, but between and 4:00 come, but between now and 4:00 in few minutes, i'll get in a few minutes, i'll get reaction an extraordinary and reaction to an extraordinary and very from the

facing legal action that they'd rather be confronted by a well trained terrorist than a london gangster. rowley's comments come a time when one armed officer is still waiting to appear before a gross misconduct hearing. a staggering eight years after he shot dead a man who was trying to help an inmate escape a prison van and a police marksman will stand trial next year. charged with murdering chris kaba, who was shot, if you recall, in london in september 2022, when. joining me now is former metropolitan detective and firearms officer peter bleksley great pal of mine. peter, this is something that really makes you sympathise with the police. they have one of the most dangerous jobs in all of the country. they're expected to put their lives on the line. they're expected to put their safety and their reputation on the line every time they pick up a firearm. and yet it feels as as if when they do so, the legal system is there not to protect them, but to punish them.

>> well of course, it's not >> yes. well of course, it's not only the legal system, it's the police disciplinary process which can take so long. now, the officer who shot dead, the man lying in wait to try and help spnng lying in wait to try and help spring his mate from the prison van known as w80 , has been van known as w80, has been acquitted at court, stood trial and was acquitted at court. there was then an inquiry and the officer was found to be guilty of no wrongdoing whatsoever ever. and yet the independent office of police conduct have still insisted on a gross misconduct hearing. and those are part of the reasons why eight years later , this why eight years later, this matter is still under resolved. but sir mark rowley is also playing quite a clever game here because he knows that at the end of january , the officer known as of january, the officer known as 1 to 1 who is to stand trial for the murder of chris kaba will be named in court and his name will

then enter the public domain . then enter the public domain. and of course, it's not so long ago that armed officers were absolutely outraged when that officer was charged and many of them laid down their weapons . so them laid down their weapons. so what rowley is doing quite cleverly here is positioning himself as the armed police officer's spokesperson . officer's spokesperson. >> but it seems, peter, that they need somebody in their corner, as you say, 1200 met firearms officers , laid down firearms officers, laid down their weapons when that colleague was charged . how much colleague was charged. how much of a of an influence do you think the media has on this? and the agitators, the activists, the agitators, the activists, the charity is because so often, of course, it comes to an issue of course, it comes to an issue of race or class or poverty and the police just seem to be attacked from every angle . and attacked from every angle. and sadly, it seems to be the police force's instincts to throw their own officers under the bus and let's not forget the lefty lawyers who campaign endlessly

to hang any police officer out to hang any police officer out to dry no matter what they do . to dry no matter what they do. >> take, for example, last week when a police officer was charged with dangerous driving , charged with dangerous driving, that officer was racing owing to a terrorist incident where people were being stabbed. now, the officer made some mistakes when they were driving , but the when they were driving, but the jury, when they were driving, but the jury, quite rightly found that officer not guilty of dangerous driving . not only do the driving. not only do the independent office for police conduct appear to be politically swayed from time to time and willing to throw officers in whatever role it is under the bus , but there are, of course, bus, but there are, of course, lawyers that represent the families of people who get shot by the police , and they are by the police, and they are often very vocal, very militant and desperately keen to see officers thrown into jail . officers thrown into jail. >> now, peter, it's also worth pointing out, of course, that no officer, no citizen, nobody in

the land should be above the law. and we're not suggesting seeing special treatment, but it does appear sometimes be the does appear sometimes to be the opposite of that. it seems to be that a policeman a that a policeman or a policewoman standing as an officer actually can be used against them . against them. >> every firearm officer who has ever been trained is told on minute. one of day, one of the training that your actions , even training that your actions, even if you merely draw the weapon out of its holster , let alone out of its holster, let alone fire it , all out of its holster, let alone fire it, all your actions will be subject to the closest scrutiny . and the police are not scrutiny. and the police are not saying they shouldn't be. but what they want and what actually is fair is that the process that they are subjected to should be prompt, professional and not politically swayed . in other politically swayed. in other words, completely impartial and should happen within a reasonable time span. and that

officers are judged by the criminal level of culpability. and what i mean, there is if somebody goes in front of a criminal court, the jury have to be persuaded of that person's guilt beyond all reasonable doubt. it's not like in a civil case which is judged on the balance of probabilities and the police officers want that criminal high bar of evidential proof to take place, not only in the courts. naturally but also in disciplinary hearings. if we can get the process is right so that they're fair and prompt and professional. i think you'll find that a lot of firearms officers concerns will simply melt away. >> and peter, in a nutshell, if we're at a junction where police are afraid to draw a weapon in case it ends in a legal suit, if we're at a position where british police are more afraid of gangsters than terrorists, and in that split second moment,

their entire life could change are britain's streets less or more safe than before ? more safe than before? >> much , much less safe because >> much, much less safe because armed police officers not only protect the royals , the prime protect the royals, the prime minister, the palaces , the minister, the palaces, the important embassies and the like, but they are out there patrolling the streets in their armed response vehicles. 24 hours a day ready to respond to the terrorists, the gangsters , the terrorists, the gangsters, the terrorists, the gangsters, the lunatics and all those kind of dangerous people . we need our of dangerous people. we need our armed police . they are extremely armed police. they are extremely valuable . valuable. >> and peter, what would you like to see change in the situation ? you're obviously situation? you're obviously vastly experienced . you have the vastly experienced. you have the sympathy of , you know, what sympathy of, you know, what you're talking about. what would you're talking about. what would you like to see done? >> yeah, i want to see the independent office of police conduct looked to be utterly impartial. i want it to stand and tall stand alone , be not be

and tall stand alone, be not be swayed by the crowd . be not be swayed by the crowd. be not be swayed by the crowd. be not be swayed by the crowd. be not be swayed by politicians and to be staffed by experienced professional investigators that would be an incredibly good start at peter bleksley every time you come on, every time i speak to you common sense copper, i just say again, if we have more people like you in charge would have much more of chance. >> peter bleksley. thank you as ever for joining >> peter bleksley. thank you as ever forjoining me on gb news. now, the inquest into the death of the teacher whose family say has after bad has killed herself after a bad ofsted report . it started today. ofsted report. it started today. i'm martin daubney on gb news and this is britain's news channel

news britain's news channel . news britain's news channel. welcome back. it's 345. you're watching or listening to me. martin daubney on gb news. now 4:00. i'll hear from jacob rees—mogg. he's got a stark warning for the tories if they don't get a grip of the migrant crisis. that's right. last night he said it could cost them the election. so i'll be asking him that precise question on. still, there's some good news for all of us struggling with the cost of us struggling with the cost of living crisis now because shop price inflation has eased for the sixth month in a row . for the sixth month in a row. and that's according to the latest the british latest figures from the british retail consortium . however, you retail consortium. however, you might want to reconsider before splashing this christmas , as splashing out this christmas, as some of the uk's largest retailer are warning that measures included in last week's autumn statement risk pushing pnces autumn statement risk pushing prices up again. well joining me

now is liam halligan to make sense of this, our economics and business editor with on the money so the good lord giveth and the good lord taketh away as usual. so shop plus price inflation. good news. but that means that things are only getting more expensive, a bit slower than before. >> that's right. so let me just talk you through these figures, because they are little bit complicated. >> so let's have a look at them and radio listeners can can keep their peeled stay with me. >> so the first figures i'm going to show you, these are ons figures, martin these are official office for national statistics numbers september, statistics numbers in september, food prices were 12.1% higher than september 2022. those food price inflation higher than the general rate of inflation that fell in october to 10.1. still really, really high. so in october, food price inflation 10.1. overall, inflation was 4.6. now the british retail consortium brings out unofficial survey numbers for november.

okay. and that shows food price inflation all the way down at 4.3. so down from 10.1. all the way down to 4.3. but it must be said that brc , british retail said that brc, british retail consortium inflation numbers , consortium inflation numbers, they are generally a bit lower than office for national statistics numbers for all kinds of technical reasons. but what we're hearing today from the big retailers through the british retailers through the british retail consortium is that that food price inflation number 4.3, may actually start going up again. why because it's saying in the autumn statement , the in the autumn statement, the government put business taxes up a lot, particularly for retailers in the form of business rates for big retailers. that's the tax on the rentable rateable value of their properties that the retailers have to pay and also we had a big increase more than a pound to over £115 an hour plus for 21 and 22 year olds, as well as 23 year olds plus in the minimum wage. and of course, retailers

even though they're getting us to check out our own stuff, there's still an awful lot of people with respect on the minimum wage. the shelf stackers, the warehouse forklift truck drivers is some of the people on the tills. so an increase in the minimum wage of well over 10% is going to the retailers say increase their cost base which will increase the price of food at a faster rate. >> and not only is that completely logical , but you completely logical, but you predicted that would happen on the day. >> i did. i did. but look, also, some of me is a bit cynical because the big retailers, they know that this british retail consortium numbers coming out 4.3, which suggests, crikey , 4.3, which suggests, crikey, there's actually some real competition between the supermarkets and they're competing on price. and so pnces competing on price. and so prices , they're not coming down, prices, they're not coming down, but they're not going up as quickly as they were. it's still, you know, twice the bank of england's target, more so, of england's 2% target, more so, but at least food price inflation is coming down. so on the very day that the likes of

me is going to be talking about food price inflation coming down, the british retail consortium also issue a kind of pre—emptive are. but we may pre—emptive spin are. but we may not be to bring prices down not be able to bring prices down or the rate of increase of pnces or the rate of increase of prices down much more inflation will start going up will actually start going up again because of the nasty old government and its nasty old tax rises nasty old increase rises and its nasty old increase in minimum wage. again, in the minimum wage. again, the retailers would deny that. that's the tone that they take, but that's what they're trying to convey because of these government don't government measures. don't expect time soon. expect cheap food any time soon. >> this liam, again, >> and this to me, liam, again, call a cynic. sounds like the call me a cynic. sounds like the perfect recipe cost cutting perfect recipe for cost cutting to snag you in on lost leading items while masking the fact your actual basket price is still soaring upwards . still soaring upwards. >> well, look, all food, all retailers at the moment, they're wondering we just have black friday. what's going to happen at is this i've at christmas? is this i've actually got little film, actually got a little film, another film been going to another film i've been going to chelmsford a lot recently just reporting street reporting on the high street there. little there. i've got another little film about chelmsford film out about chelmsford tomorrow and the thrust tomorrow morning and the thrust of that film is retailers are

market traders keeping their fingers and toes crossed that they can have a decent christmas because know they're locked down for couple of years. and this for a couple of years. and this is the first sort of properly covid free lockdown free christmas that we've had without the sort of immediate memory of lockdown there. so a lot of retailers are hoping for a good christmas rebuild their balance sheets. and it seems that food pnces sheets. and it seems that food prices are coming , they're not prices are coming, they're not coming down, but they're not going up quickly as they going up as quickly as they were. so there be were. so there will be supermarkets to offer supermarkets who want to offer you leaders. but of course , you loss leaders. but of course, that doesn't mean that your overall price shop is going overall food price shop is going to much better value. to be much better value. >> look forward to seeing >> so look forward to seeing that report tomorrow. but in a nutshell, was there much optimism or just optimism out there or just doggedness or actually brace themselves for some pain? well, this was deepest essex, so there was always optimism and doggedness drive doggedness and commercial drive and and vim, right? and zeal and vim, right? >> i mean, some of the best entrepreneurs come from that part of the country as you as you know. martin but every one i

spoke to and i spoke to a lot of people was yeah, i'm hoping i'm hoping i'm hoping. but you could see in their eyes they knew that this big tax increase, the stealth taxes, the mortgage increases, the 14 interest rate rises , the high energy bills, rises, the high energy bills, they you know that the average shopperis they you know that the average shopper is tired and concerned and about making ends meet. but you know, we've got to keep holding out for a decent christmas. yes. but i think on the high street there are concerns that it may still be quite muted. there's cost of living martin. it's not living crisis, martin. it's not over . living crisis, martin. it's not ove liam . living crisis, martin. it's not oveliam halligan as ever on >> liam halligan as ever on the money. thank you very much. always a pleasure. okay, moving on. the death on. the inquest into the death of teacher family says of the teacher whose family says killed a bad killed herself after a bad ofsted today . ofsted report started today. ruth perry was the head teacher at caversham primary school in reading an ofsted report down graded the school from its highest rating to its lowest over safeguarding concerns. well, let's cross now to redding and speak to pip tomson who's been following the inquest . pip,

been following the inquest. pip, what's the latest . what's the latest. >> good afternoon, martin. well, ruth perry, she was head teacher of caversham primary school for some 13 years, but her family have already said before this inquest that she was put under intolerable pressure by the two day ofsted inspection last november. now this afternoon, the ofsted inspector alan derry has been speaking thing and he said that when he first spoke to ruth on the phone the day before the inspection , she was the inspection, she was professional. she was clear, she was confident , and she was was confident, and she was presenting the school really well. but then things changed quite markedly when he actually came to visit the school in person to start that inspection . person to start that inspection. and there was there was quite a difference in her. and she kept repeating this phrase during the inspection, saying it's not looking good, is it? inspection, saying it's not looking good, is it ? she became looking good, is it? she became quite tearful during this first meeting and the inspector

decided that she shouldn't continue with the meeting and should actually only have a pause and have some time out. the school's business manager who saw her afterwards said that she was flustered , shaky and she was flustered, shaky and unable to speak coherently. but then in later meetings during those two days, the ofsted inspectors said that she wasn't upset and she was fully involved . now, there were concerns about the school's safeguarding and the school's safeguarding and the family of ruth say that it is the impact of this ofsted inspection that led to her death inspection that led to her death in court today. has been ruth's husband. her sister and her brother in law and the coroner. the coroner , heidi connor, has the coroner, heidi connor, has been very clear. she said to the inquest and to the family in court , your ruth's story lies at court, your ruth's story lies at the heart of the inquest and i will not forget this . it's also will not forget this. it's also important to note that the school was re—inspected in june

and the ofsted grading was upgraded to good. the inquest is set to last five days. the coroner is expected to deliver her conclusions next month. >> okay, pip tomson, thank you for that update live from redding now. tory backbenchers are turning up the heat on the government over the migrant crisis. lee anderson has today called for a cap on net migration to be brought in. and in the next hour, i'll be questioning jacob rees—mogg, who last night said on gb news migration, immigration could cause the tories to the next election. i'll put that question directly to him. i'm martin daubney on gb news. this is britain's news channel. >> afternoon . i'm alex deakin. >> afternoon. i'm alex deakin. this is your latest weather update from the met office for gb news. it's turning colder and staying frosty in the mornings for the rest of this week with some sleet and snow showers in the north and east. thanks to this of pressure this area of low pressure developing in the north sea. the isobars squeezing together as

are perfectly capable of working together , doing some negotiating together, doing some negotiating and coming up with a good concrete solution and i back them to do that. but actually what happened yesterday, in my view really about view, wasn't really about sculptures all. it was rishi sculptures at all. it was rishi sunak really being quite rude to a prime minister of an ally country when he should be and could have been talking about the economy or secured equity or climate change. the war in the middle east or i was going to come to that. you know, what better country could he talk to about to deal with small about how to deal with small boats country had boats than a country that's had to deal with a large number of small boats, schools could be forced stay open during forced to stay open during strike action under tough new plans to be introduced by the government. >> the education secretary says strikes over the past year were some of the most disruptive on record teaching unions describe the plans for minimum service levels as shameful, but gillian keegan says her priority is keeping kids in school. >> well we are still supporting the fundamental right to strike,

but we're trying to balance that with the fundamental right of a child to an education as well, and students be able to and for students to be able to sit exams, for example. >> are these have a >> these are these have a massive impact young people massive impact on young people and parents. so and on their parents. so what we're trying to is just we're trying to do is just balance those two rights. and quite you will see that quite often you will see that schools do a lot support schools do a lot to support those children anyway. obviously, for make obviously, they care for to make sure they the sure that they support the children their care. but what children in their care. but what we to do is make that we want to do is make that uniform across the country a man has admitted killing three people who died in separate attacks in nottingham earlier this year. >> valdo kulkarni , also known as >> valdo kulkarni, also known as and adam mendes , denied murder and adam mendes, denied murder but admitted three counts of manslaughter on the basis of diminished response ability students barnaby webber , grace students barnaby webber, grace o'malley, kumar, both 19 and 65 year old caretaker ian coates died after being stabbed in june . thousands attended vigils for the victims in nottingham in the wake of the attacks . the first wake of the attacks. the first transatlantic flight in a large passenger aircraft using green

news channel. and thank you, polly. >> now we start with the tories increasingly desperate attempts to tackle the migrant crisis. the day started badly for the government as it emerged that opting human opting out of the european human rights laws could cause even more to the plans to send more delays to the plans to send migrants to rwanda . and now lee migrants to rwanda. and now lee anderson has broken ranks by calling a cap migrant calling for a cap on migrant children to be brought in. anderson was speaking less than a week was confirmed a week after it was confirmed that migration last year was that net migration last year was a staggering 745,000. lee anderson thank you, madam speaker . speaken >> thousands of people in ashfield have had enough of this. >> 7000 people on the council house waiting list. people struggling to get a gp appointment. people struggling to get a dental appointment . to get a dental appointment. >> struggling to get school places . places. >> isn't about time, minister, that had a cap on migration that we had a cap on migration and put some clear divide between us and that lot over there? >> yeah. yeah it sir. >> yeah. yeah it is, sir. >> well , my >> yeah. yeah it is, sir. >> well, my honourable friend who represents the constituency near to mine, speaks for my constituents, as he does for his. >> in saying that the british

pubuc >> in saying that the british public want us to get on with the job now and bring down the numbers coming into this country. the minister the country. the prime minister the home and i are home secretary and i are committed to bringing forward a set of fundamental reforms which ihope set of fundamental reforms which i hope will do achieve the objective that he's set out. there are definitely strong arguments for using caps, whether in general or on specific visas. but these are conversations that we need to conclude within government. >> well, i'm joined now by gb news political editor chris hope. chris, hello to you again. so, lee anderson, the people of ashfield have had enough of this roaring out there . spoke to alex roaring out there. spoke to alex stafford also and he said the people of rother valley are saying the same. the people across britain are saying this on their roaring. it in a way i haven't heard since brexit. the question is that message being received will sink sunak i >> -- >> well, if m >> well, if you listen to robert jenrick, the immigration minister, it is being heard loud

and clear. he said in the comments, didn't he, earlier today that people are sick of talk? i think that is understood by the pm. rishi sunak certainly an issue of small boat crossings across the south coast. tens of thousands a year. if he gets the issue of one of thousands coming here. net net, that's more arriving than leaving through our airports, away through with a visa. that's also what we're heanng a visa. that's also what we're hearing there from lee anderson. he says for the first time, let's bring in caps on certain numbers, certain numbers of visas going out, maybe to health care workers and in other sectors, and certainly not being able family able to bring their family members hear robert members and to hear robert jenrick reply he that jenrick their reply that he that there element to that, there is some element to that, that he might agree with. i think he's fast emerging as somebody to get wants somebody who wants to get wants to on right side of this to get on the right side of this debate. he says there that the conversations they having debate. he says there that the conveto ations they having debate. he says there that the conveto concludey having debate. he says there that the conveto conclude withinaving need to conclude within government. big government. there's a big meeting weekend, meeting at the weekend, we understand. alex was there. meeting at the weekend, we und

works. the clock is ticking works. but the clock is ticking before due in before the next election due in may or june. probably, maybe may orjune. probably, maybe later in the autumn, or even even the following january. so there much time yet left there isn't much time yet left for this government to take action. and many people who voted leave the european voted to leave the european union in 2016, many of whom union back in 2016, many of whom live in those red wall seats, red presented by lee red presented there by lee anderson , will be thinking what anderson, will be thinking what on are you doing to the on earth are you doing to the government? can't you government? why can't you control the control the borders? the pressure services, gp pressure on local services, gp waiting list, dentists and the rest you need to lift that people can't get a house because there's a huge long waiting list andifs there's a huge long waiting list and it's not fair on people. i think the time for talking is oven think the time for talking is over, but whether caps work, it's all about being firm when they're being enforced because you will create shortages in some sectors. they'll be crying out for more support. do you say no to them? it's a big test of political will. >> chris, do you think this in a sense is like new brexit? it's sense is like a new brexit? it's a new it's a issue that's a new it's a new issue that's dividing the nation . we saw in dividing the nation. we saw in 2016 that british public had 2016 that the british public had never felt that the political

class out of touch with class was more out of touch with their everyday concerns was about the precise about immigration. the precise things that lee anderson is talking about now, school fees, hospitals, , housing. hospitals, dentists, housing. and here we are four years and yet here we are four years later, the same old cycle. and the numbers are getting worse. and with all that , you can only and with all that, you can only conclude that the left hand is doing one thing. the right of the party is roaring about it. but the shire tories, they just seem don't seem to care . seem don't seem to care. >> it's not a problem is it, for the shire tories? it's these communities in the so—called red wall, maybe properties cheaper here, maybe it's easier for people arriving here from other countries to settle there. it's cheaper to settle there, maybe cost living could less cost of living could be less there. it's those areas which are the are feeling the heat. it was the same before 2016 eu same before the 2016 eu referendum it's the same referendum and it's the same now. and that's why have red now. and that's why you have red wall the government wall mps urging the government to up. i think lee anderson to wake up. i think lee anderson has recently just retweet outed on social media that video of him calling for a cap. he may know what's coming down the track. of course, he a deputy track. of course, he is a deputy co—deputy a he's

co—deputy chairman. he's a he's a figure in the party. he's a key figure in the party. he's a key figure in the party. he's a not not a campaigner, but not not minister. is in the party minister. but he is in the party to do that, keep the party to do that, to keep the party alive, to hold on to those red wall and, in fact, wall seats. and, in fact, he's he's trying to make these points. he must what's points. he must know what's coming track. and the coming down the track. and the first time today we heard there robert hinting robert jenrick implied hinting that the caps could be the answer maybe combined with answer and maybe combined with lifting minimum income, you lifting the minimum income, you need to get to get a visa from around £26,000 a year to as much as 40,000 a year, which is being pushed by boris johnson, the former prime minister and suella braverman, the former the former home secretary. so these are the ideas the mix. but the clock ideas in the mix. but the clock is can the government is ticking. can the government get impact on get any meaningful impact on these numbers before the next election in. >> okay, chris, thanks for joining us live from westminster. thank you much westminster. thank you very much . now, lee anderson isn't the only who's calling for only tory mp who's calling for a cap migration. alexander cap on migration. alexander stafford is also backing that policy. i spoke to him earlier in the show . in the show. >> shall the government actually grasp actually >> shall the government actually grasthe actually >> shall the government actually grasthe numbers actually >> shall the government actually grasthe numbers down, tually >> shall the government actually grasthe numbers down, both' get the numbers down, both illegal legal migration is illegal and legal migration is completely unsustainable.

they're huge amount they're having this huge amount of net migration. we need to get them around the deal going. we need to look at and all ways need to look at any and all ways to clamp down on migration and legal illegal and you know, to clamp down on migration and lethat illegal and you know, to clamp down on migration and lethat involvesal and you know, to clamp down on migration and lethat involves pullingou know, to clamp down on migration and lethat involves pulling out;now, to clamp down on migration and lethat involves pulling out the ', if that involves pulling out the echr, let's at that. echr, let's look at that. if that doing something echr, let's look at that. if that drastic, doing something echr, let's look at that. if that drastic, let's] something echr, let's look at that. if that drastic, let's look|ething echr, let's look at that. if that drastic, let's look at1ing more drastic, let's look at that. let's leave stone that. let's leave no stone unturned to make it clear to the lecturer, to our people that we want this down because want to clamp this down because it like this. it cannot go on like this. i voted for brexit. i campaigned for brexit many reasons, for brexit for many reasons, including control including to take back control of borders. it is right. we of our borders. it is right. we need to get hold of this. and that why said literally that is why i said literally nothing should stopping nothing should be stopping us clamping down on immigration. and government, when and i want the government, when they bring forward the new legislation really, really they bring forward the new legislaand really, really they bring forward the new legislaand really, 'eally, really they bring forward the new legislaand really, really really strong and really, really robust. clearly, robust. but clearly, the legislation has been legislation that has been brought through the last couple of passed the of times hasn't passed the muster actually got muster test, hasn't actually got there need to actually there yet. we need to actually have laws, have better laws, better registration actually registration to actually stop it, to stop lawyers, stop it, to stop the lawyers, to stop the party getting the the labour party getting in the way. allowing it to way. we're allowing it to happen. should be drafting happen. we should be drafting better legislation it better legislation to get it past the law courts. >> but been 13 years. >> yes, but it's been 13 years. sorry labour the point pun

sorry to labour the point pun not and the not intended and the conservatives been in power conservatives have been in power for years. manifesto for 13 years. the manifesto pledge was cap pledge in 2019 was to cap overall numbers below 239,000. yet here we are this week. that's almost been tripled . you that's almost been tripled. you can't blame the labour party. you can't blame the european court rights. you guys court of human rights. you guys are and it's almost are in power and it's almost trebled watch . yeah. trebled under your watch. yeah. >> yeah, i agree. >> yeah, i agree. >> and obviously we've had things like ukraine, visa system, afghanistan, hong kong , system, afghanistan, hong kong, which massively inflate the numbers , but that's still not numbers, but that's still not good enough. still didn't numbers, but that's still not good it|ough. still didn't numbers, but that's still not good it down. still didn't numbers, but that's still not good it down. and till didn't numbers, but that's still not good it down. and ill didn't numbers, but that's still not good it down. and ill did at numbers, but that's still not good it down. and ill did a hard bring it down. and i want a hard cap. i want a hard cap to try and bring those numbers down and actually tangible actually tie it to tangible things and other things like housing and other such aspects of the government. because need link two. such aspects of the government. becttwo need link two. such aspects of the government. becttwo thingsed link two. such aspects of the government. becttwo things together. two. such aspects of the government. becttwo things together. andtwo. the two things together. and it's not sustainable. the two things together. and it's it not sustainable. the two things together. and it's it needs)t sustainable. the two things together. and it's it needs to ;ustainable. the two things together. and it's it needs to be :ainable. the two things together. and it's it needs to be clearle. the two things together. and it's it needs to be clear ,5. the two things together. and it's it needs to be clear , the and it needs to be clear, the legislation is clear that we need to stop it and stop people exploiting system in uk exploiting our system in the uk and clearly exploiting and clearly they are exploiting it and need have tougher it and we need to have a tougher stance this. stance on this. >> i'm now by >> okay. i'm joined now by conservative and gb news conservative mp and gb news presenter jacob conservative mp and gb news presenterjacob rees—mogg. thanks joining me the thanks for joining me on the show, it's always a show, jacob. it's always a pleasure. jacob, move last pleasure. jacob, you a move last night former apology

night following a former apology when apologised for when you apologised for immigration in a previous broadcast. last night, you said the chilling statement, the question of mass migration could cost the tories the next election. mass migration is not the norm in our society. it's except when it's let down the electorate. so the 64,000 or the £745,000 question, which is the number that came in legally , not number that came in legally, not illegally, is what is the conservative party going to do about it? because time is quickly running out for you . quickly running out for you. >> yes, perhaps you're right. time is running out. but legal migration is easier to deal with than illegal migration because as we set the terms and there aren't really human rights issues that relate to it, so there aren't other legal consideration options that can overrule the visa conditions. so you could set caps, you could lower the numbers , you could lower the numbers, you could increase the salary level that people are required to have. you could get rid of the 20% discount on wages for shortage

occupations and things like that. that would put the price up and limit the supply. >> all of those things are great ideas. so why haven't you done them in the past 13 years? and in particular in the conservative 2019 manifesto pledge to another one of those caps reduce overall numbers to below 239,000. yet jacob, we see that almost tripling. you've had presumably the powers to limit visas and to limit salaries all along . why has it taken until along. why has it taken until five to midnight to come to that conclusion? ian well, not all along. >> as long as we were a member of the european union and we're in the process of leaving. so up until 2020, eu migration was uncontrolled and therefore we couldn't control the total figure . immediately after that, figure. immediately after that, of course, we had the pandemic and there was a worry when the pandemic ended that there were shortages within economy and shortages within the economy and that those needed to be made up for and that led to the wage level being set at too low a rate . and now the figures have rate. and now the figures have come through the really shocking

revision of the 2022 figure from 606,000 to 745,000 and the unrevised figure for 2023 of 673,000, which may of course go up further. we've now seen two years of appalling figures and thatis years of appalling figures and that is bringing the pigeons home to roost and is reminding people of what needs to be done. but it can be done. there is time and there's no time like the present. >> well, jacob, do you think a part of the problem here is there's division within the there's a division within the tory we with tory party, as we saw with brexit, we with the red brexit, as we saw with the red wall versus the shires, and that is the people in the red wall. lee anderson roaring out lee anderson was roaring out today. stafford from rother today. alex stafford from rother valley saying constituents valley saying his constituents have it because have had enough of it because they're impacted by it they're directly impacted by it because that's the kind of areas where the migrants, the immigrants to live. immigrants go to live. meanwhile, in the shires where it's largely unaffected or in fact they benefit from more students paying to their universities , they benefit from universities, they benefit from cheaper for labour their nannies and coffee shops or their

and their coffee shops or their cleaners. don't care about cleaners. they don't care about it. in fact, it makes them seem virtuous. have this virtuous. and so we have this huge cycle of an addiction huge doom cycle of an addiction to labour cheap labour on the one hand, and the reality of the impact on the working classes in the and this division in the other. and this division in the other. and this division in the tory party is as big if not bigger than brexit. >> well, i don't think it's particularly a division of that kind. certainly in my constituency in north—east somerset, which is certainly in shire county, people raised a shire county, people raised migration with me again and again. it is something that comes up on the doorsteps whenever i'm out and about and people come up to me in the street and mention it. it is a big concern across the electorate, across the country. i think the issue is actually dnven i think the issue is actually driven by the treasury and the economic by the economic modelling done by the obr, looks at total size obr, which looks at total size of the economy , including of the economy, including migration . it doesn't look at migration. it doesn't look at gdp per capita to. so it wants the migration and is encouraging the migration and is encouraging the treasury to push for more migration to achieve a bigger

total economy. but a smaller economy for each one of us to have a share of . have a share of. >> and what about the issue of student visas? we've seen 378,000 of those issued, including 96,000 additional dependents. that's a city the size of liverpool , and that's dependents. that's a city the size of liverpool, and that's in one year. where are these people expected to live? migration watch are predicting that if it carries on like this until 2046, we'll need to build 18 new birmingham's. >> well, this is unsustained bill that we have a financing model for universities that has frozen student fees and therefore the universities lose money on domestic students subsidised by foreign students. this can't carry on and i don't understand why students need to bnng understand why students need to bring dependents and you need also to look at why they're able to stay for two years after they've finished their studies. that should be reduced and we've got the wrong economic model for

universities . universities. >> and do you think we talk of wedge issues all the time? and lee anderson was saying we need to put clear blue water between us and that lot over there. of course, he means the labour party who seem poised for power. how do that the time how can you do that in the time you have left? what impact can you have left? what impact can you seems that at you do? because it seems that at every junction you're stymie by the lawyers, court , by the lawyers, by the court, by journalists, by the echr , you journalists, by the echr, you name it, the barbed wire is there to take you down. is the problem simply insurmountable ? problem simply insurmountable? you know, and your question is so important because you're absolutely right on illegal migration, but on legal migration, but on legal migration , the lawyers, the migration, the lawyers, the courts, the human rights act, none of that apply. >> this is just straightforward administration. do you award a visa for this category of people? they're not fleeing for their lives. they're not refugees. they don't have a right to come. we allow them to come and charge them for the privilege. we stop that. and privilege. we can stop that. and interestingly, labour has proposed a cap of $200,000. so we're at risk of being caught

bathing and having our clothes stolen . stolen. >> yeah, it's a colourful metaphor to end on, as ever, thank you for joining metaphor to end on, as ever, thank you forjoining us. jacob thank you for joining us. jacob rees—mogg thanks. pleasure thank you. okay what do you make of that? do you think that the tories have had long enough to get grips with this issue? get to grips with this issue? and isn't astonishing that and isn't it astonishing that jacob mentioned that jacob even just mentioned that labour's cap may be labour's immigration cap may be lower than the conservatives? 2019 239,000 they promised? and yet here we are, 745,000. and how much longer can the blame game go on? i mean . i mean, game go on? i mean. i mean, seriously, how long can you blame the treasury? can you blame the treasury? can you blame the treasury? can you blame the universities? it's like the government that's in power for 13 years has the power should have the power needs to yield . that power needs to crack yield. that power needs to crack on it . because if we're not on with it. because if we're not careful, then they're going to run of time. moving on this, run out of time. moving on this, families of hostages await their release, claims release, and there are claims from forces that hamas from israeli forces that hamas has a ceasefire agreement has broken a ceasefire agreement and injured two of its soldiers on martin daubney on gb news. and we are britain's news

channel

sunday mornings from 930 on. gb news is earlier with eamonn and isabel. >> there's a lot of quite serious allegations in this book, mainly towards the working members of the royal family >> the princess of wales actually, surprisingly, comes in for quite a character assassination . assassination. >> i think what we should do now is get on with their own life, stop harassing their families. >> i think, you know , only >> i think, you know, only friends with meghan, you're a mouthpiece . mouthpiece. >> so last night, 11 hostages was released by hamas, eight of

them children in three of the mothers, the first transatlantic flight using sustainable fuel will fly today. >> well, let's speak to the transport secretary mark harper. mark will you be on board? yes will. >> good morning, eamonn. breakfast with eamonn and isabel mundy to thursday from 6 am. >> and welcome back . it's 427. >> and welcome back. it's 427. you're watching or listening to me? martin daubney on gb news. now, in a few minutes, i'll get reaction to the book written by harry and meghan's favoured journalist has been described as ludicrous for the ludicrous propaganda for the sussexes. and i'll ask whether itv is censoring nigel farage down under on i'm a celebrity, get me out of here. but first, families of hostages held by hamas have gathered in tel aviv's museum plaza as they eagerly await details of who

might be released by the terror group later today. but arrangements made under the truce between israel and palestine seem to be at risk. earlier today, when smoke appeared on the gaza skyline, the idf have now confirmed that hamas violated the ceasefire in two separate incidents by laying explosives that left israeli soldiers injured . well, i'm soldiers injured. well, i'm joined now in the studio by charlie peters. so charlie , the charlie peters. so charlie, the ceasefire, we broke the news of yesterday seems possibly to be more precarious than we thought. what's the latest? >> so in doha, it seems as though the qataris are seeking to ensure that this threatened truce remains on going. and so far, the indications , ian, is far, the indications, ian, is that that brief moment of fear has passed and the parties have come together again to maintain on that ceasefire. however the usual timings for the release of the next list of hostages and prisoners has yet to be confirmed. so we don't know when the next batch from either side is going to be announced. it's

highly likely we'll have 10 or 11 israeli hostages released by the palestinian side and around 30 prisoners released by the israelis. part of the reason why we might have seen that ceasefire risk earlier today with regards to those violent incidents is because there are so many organisations and terror groups operating in the gaza strip. it's not just hamas. there's also the resistance committees, the palestinian islamic jihad , the popular front islamic jihad, the popular front for the liberation of palestine. so many other organisations , so many other organisations, prisons and terror groups, many of them linked to al—qaeda. and let's not forget, since the start of this war, the idf has been pummelling the gaza strip with severe munitions and has killed many of the commanders and officers in these groups . so and officers in these groups. so in some cases, these organisations could be flying blind and operating with extreme munitions and a lack of a lack of certainty about the planning and coordination from their seniors . seniors. >> and we talked yesterday about the value few of the hostages, a terrible word to say, but some

of the more prize assets, soldiers being held back. and of course we saw today that the youngest child, a baby, is being held back by hamas. are they still have a huge amount of emotional leverage in this situation? >> that's right . and i think >> that's right. and i think there are signs now that there are some signs now that they're of the they're running out of the hostages that they should be prioritising. that is women and young children. so last night, one of the hostages they released and the final hostage they released was a 12 year old boy . so women they released was a 12 year old boy. so women and girls and mothers should be the priority here. so they're already going into a different category. suggests that they could be struggling to locate other women and girls. and that's been some of the reporting coming out of israel today. in the case of the youngest known hostage , a ten youngest known hostage, a ten month old baby called kfir abbas. he's one of four in the abbas. he's one of four in the abbas family being held in the gaza strip by terrorists in hamas. we don't know where he is. and there are some reporting coming out of the gaza strip that he may be being held by a

different terror group, possibly the palestinian islamic jihad. there are some reports also that up to 40 are children and other hostages cannot be located by the terrorist organisations. they've been distributed across the gaza strip, much of which we know is a labyrinth of underground tunnels. >> okay, charlie peters, thank you for that update on the situation in gaza. a little situation in gaza. and a little later hour, to later this hour, i'll speak to a woman who has a family member being held hostage hamas. being held hostage by hamas. stick around that. there's stick around for that. there's lots come still between lots more to come still between now including our now and 5:00, including our discuss the controversial new book that claims the relationship between william and harry beyond repair. harry is damaged beyond repair. but first, your latest news headunes but first, your latest news headlines with polly middlehurst i >> -- >> thank 5mm >> thank you, martin. well, the headunes >> thank you, martin. well, the headlines this hour. all 41 workers who've been trapped inside a collapsed tunnel in the himalayas have been brought to safety. if you're watching on television, take a look at the moment. the first trapped workers were rescued from the

tunnel rescue workers had to break through rocks and debris to reach the crew who were trapped underground for 17 days on mega rations. the delicate rescue mission involved transporting the workers one at a time on stretchers through a pipe a time on stretchers through a pipe that's just three feet wide. in a story that has held the country in rout right now, families of hostages held by hamas are waiting. details now now for who could be released next by the terror group. a temporary pause in fighting appears to be holding. and negotiations continue for an extension to that. hamas is due, we believe, to release ten israeli hostages today . that's israeli hostages today. that's after 11 were released last night, including eight children and three adults. 33 palestinian prisoners were also released last night . and as you've been last night. and as you've been hearing, a controversial new book that promises to reveal details about tensions in the royal family has been described as vicious and poisonous by royal insiders as among the

allegations in the book called end game by omid scobie is that the prince of wales secretly allowed information about his brother to be leaked to the media. the author also writes that the late queen disapproved of the way prince harry and his wife, meghan markle, handled their public image and the first transatlantic flight in a large passenger aircraft using green fuel left heathrow earlier today bound for jfk in fuel left heathrow earlier today bound forjfk in new fuel left heathrow earlier today bound for jfk in new york. virgin atlantic is operating the boeing 787 dreamliner past sensors on board include virgin founder sir richard branson and the transport secretary, mark harper, who says it's proof that air travel can be sustainable. though those are your latest news headlines. more on all of them by heading to our website, gbnews.com . gbnews.com. >> and thank you very much, polly. now, let's get to the book about the royal family that

they're all talking about of the weeks and weeks of extracts being made public, endgame has finally published. and finally been published. and guess what? a book written by a man described as harry and meghan's favourite journalist has stuck the knife into the other royals. but the sussexes, of course, get a nice cushy ride. some journalists have had the unpleasant job of having to read omid scobie's book and they didn't hold back with the reviews. anita singh from the telegraph says this end game is ludicrous propaganda for team sussex. she adds it is laughably partial, devoid of insight and bizarrely misogyny . and for good bizarrely misogyny. and for good measure, she describes it as a hit job reading like a mumsnet post miaow, harry rose and the times says that omid scobie is breathless, belligerent and boring. and even the new york times from over the pond waded in with their writer, eva walsh , in with their writer, eva walsh, over saying the chapter about harry and meghan reads like a press release cooked up by chat . press release cooked up by chat.

gpt . that's funny. okay. i'm gpt. that's funny. okay. i'm joined now in the studio by our royal correspondent cameron walker . royal correspondent cameron walker. cameron, you've been wading through this book since since rose this since the locks rose this morning. yeah. how far have you got through it? what's the got through it? and what's the juice? well well, i think it's fair to that it very fair to say that it is very sympathetic towards harry and meghan. >> in fact , omid speaks at >> in fact, omid speaks at length of how his sympathetic reporting of harry and meghan a few years ago seems to upset, let's say , members of the royal let's say, members of the royal household and their communications teams, which effectively meant that he was cut off by the working members of the royal family, something that the kensington palace and buckingham palace are not commenting on. you mentioned a few of those reviews there. the independent centre left publication, i might add, said that the book is unfailingly sympathetic to the sussexes and a lot of people were angered this morning because he goes in on the princess of wales in particular. the book describes as kate or catherine as the

monarchy's last shiny thing for many years to come. and he also describes her as a part time working royal, something i think many royal fans would disagree with, bearing in mind she's got three young children, most of which are under the age of ten, and she's got lots of passion projects and does a lot of work behind the scenes as well. so it is very written. an is very well written. an interesting clearly interesting read, but clearly it's impartial. it's not. let's say, impartial. >> and of the most >> and one of the most controversial revelations we were warned about this this were warned about was this this very conversation about very divisive conversation about the skin colour of archie , of the skin colour of archie, of course, the son of the sussexes and does does more detail come out on that? in particular, are the people named the royal racists, as he calls them? >> yeah, there certainly is more detail on that in during the oprah interview of 2021, meghan alleged that there was one royal racist alleging that an unnamed member of the royal family questions how dark archie's skin would be when he was born. that was meghan's on and harry's unborn child . now, in this book,

unborn child. now, in this book, it alleges that there are, in fact, two royal racists, citing letters exchanged between meghan and the then prince charles, written after the oprah interview. meghan essentially expressing concern about the alleged racist and prince charles effectively allegedly being horrified by that . but being horrified by that. but omid does not stop short of publishing the names of those two alleged royal racists. he says for legal reasons and libel reasons, he doesn't want to get sued. yeah. >> is that a bit of a cop out? i mean, you know. okay journalists can keep sources private, can keep their sources private, but this is a major, major revelation that caused huge, huge division, distress huge division, massive distress to family. can you get to the royal family. can you get away keeping cards away with keeping your cards close chest like that, close to your chest like that, or there public duty to or is there a public duty to say, hang on, got to make say, hang on, you've got to make those serious allegations those really serious allegations 7 those really serious allegations ? we need to out the soui’ce. >> source. >> yeah. i mean, has said >> yeah. i mean, omid has said that the reason he isn't publishing it is for legal reasons. we have take what reasons. we have to take what omid as facts. but then if omid says as facts. but then if you look to happened,

you look back to what happened, post oprah when the palace released that, now infamous statements where the queen said recollections vary , she recollections may vary, she reportedly that was actually the princess of wales who insisted that statement was ended up in there because she said that this statement is going to go down in history as to how the royal family handled this particular race issue . again, kensington race issue. again, kensington palace not commenting on that, but i think it just shows that clearly the facts that the two people have alleged, people have not named means that not been named means that there's many unanswered there's so many unanswered questions, does not close questions, which does not close the lid the subject. so very the lid on the subject. so very uncomfortable for royal uncomfortable for the royal family wills has come under family and wills has come under particular fire. >> and therefore, the title of the book end game, you'd assume that the relationship between harry and wills really has approached its end game. it's so blistering. >> yeah, i mean, the book is not a biography of harry and meghan. it is very much a look of how omid and his sources perceive the royal family could be essentially at the end of its tether if it doesn't change tack

and modernise . essentially it and modernise. essentially it does go in for prince william, heir to the throne, and does speak at length about the breakdown of relationships between william and harry. are they going to make up because of this book? i would suggest very unlikely. see kensington palace not commenting. said , not commenting. as i said, archewell not commenting either . archewell not commenting either. but know that harry and but i do know that harry and meghan have spoken to the king recently for his 75th birthday to wish him a happy birthday. so there is some olive branch there, not with william. do there, but not with william. do you to this, you think they'll stick to this, this this strategy of you think they'll stick to this, this dignifiediis strategy of you think they'll stick to this, this dignified silence agy of you think they'll stick to this, this dignified silence fromf you think they'll stick to this, thisdignified silence from the the dignified silence from the royal court , or will it become royal court, or will it become such a heated debate? >> they will have to issue a recollections may vary type statement? >> well, i think in private, prince william is going to be particularly angry and especially because of the attacks on the princess of wales, his wife. but their strategy of never complain, never explain appears to be working. opinion polls, the working. the opinion polls, the latest yougov poll shows that william catherine are the william and catherine are the top of the most popular members of the royal family in the

united kingdom, whereas harry and spare post and meghan post spare post netflix due slump, netflix content due to slump, the only person below them is prince andrew and again in the us their popularity is suffering as well. >> you've been reading the book. cameron well done for that. and so much has been leaked out to the press. it's been serial ized in newspapers around the planet. is there actually anything left in the book that hasn't already been in the press ? been foraged out in the press? >> well, there is a few things. there's kind nuances. there's little kind of nuances. i would suggest he accuses the palace of telling white lies when it comes to queen camilla's title, for example, because in 2005, palace aides insisted she'd be known as princess consort . now, of course, she's consort. now, of course, she's queen. so omid scobie accuses them of white lies and there's some you know, there's lots of other things that have happened over the last year, particularly when it comes to the egg throwing incident. i believe that's a little bit inaccurate. he said there was several protesters allegedly throwing eggs at king charles. and i was actually in york the

actually there in york on the day and the eggs being held. day and saw the eggs being held. it was one lone student. so perhaps exaggerated slightly, maybe white lies the title maybe white lies with the title of next book. of his next book. >> cameron walker. superb. thank you very much for through you very much for going through it. don't have to now. it. so we don't have to now. moving claimed moving on, it's been claimed that were better that cave women were better hunters than cavemen. is that true or just a load of old woke rubbish? daubney on gb rubbish? i'm not daubney on gb news news channel .

isabel monday to thursdays from six till 930 .

six till 930. >> welcome back. it's a 4:45. you're watching or listening to me? martin daubney on gb news. and at 5:00 i'll discuss the bbc. s staggering decision to give a platform to a comedian who's accused israel of ethnic cleansing and genocide in gaza . cleansing and genocide in gaza. well, there's some good news for all of us struggling now with the cost of living crisis because shop price inflation has eased for the sixth month in a row . and that's according to the row. and that's according to the latest figures from the british retail consortium. however, you might to reconsider before might want to reconsider before splashing out this christmas because some of the uk's largest retailers are warning that measures included in last week's autumn statement risk actually pushing prices up again. well, joining me now is liam halligan in the studio, our economics and business editor with on the money . seems to be a pattern . we money. seems to be a pattern. we have one day of good news and

the other day some bad news. so price inflation in shops has eased but now they're saying pnces eased but now they're saying prices might go up anyway . prices might go up anyway. >> strap yourself in, martin. i've got some numbers and i'm going throw them at you and going to throw them at you and see which ones stick to your forehead. okay. so look, there are inflation are two types of inflation numbers. broadly there's what we call numbers , the office call the ons numbers, the office for national statistics numbers. these numbers that come these are the numbers that come out a bit of a delay. out with a bit of a delay. they're the official numbers that the government uses to upgrade benefits that that the government uses to ungffice benefits that that the government uses to ungffice for benefits that that the government uses to ungffice for nationalefits that the office for national statistics ons numbers. then statistics or ons numbers. then you've got the british retail consortium or brc numbers. these come out earlier , so i can show come out earlier, so i can show you some numbers in a minute for november, even though the official ones aren't out for november. and the british retail consortium, surveys of consortium, its surveys just of shops. it's things you shops. so it's not things you buy services it's not it's not insurance or petrol or things like that. it tends to be stuff, physical goods that you buy in shops and they're inflation numbers are a little bit lower. but let's have a look back in september, food price inflation

ons numbers was 12.1. still really , really high. and then really, really high. and then the last official number we've got for food price inflation was october 10.1. that was still a lot higher than the basic rate of inflation, which was 4.6. so what's that saying is that in october 2023, food prices were 10.1% higher than october 20th, 22. now we've just got today the new november number from the british retail consortium. that's what i've got brc there andifs that's what i've got brc there and it's much, much lower, 4.3. so what the british retail consortium is saying is that food prices on their surveys, on official surveys, are 4.3% higher in november than they were in november 2022. i think when the ons number comes out for november, it'll be something like 6. but still a lot lower. and that's that lower food price inflation trend you talked about. now, what we're hearing from the british retail consortium on the day they bring out that quite nice shiny number there now warning that a

combination of tax increases and the increases in the minimum wage that the government brought in in the autumn statement last week because as retailers pay a lot of tax in the form of what we call business rates, because they pay a lot of people to stack shelves to drive forklift trucks to do the checkout . a lot trucks to do the checkout. a lot of people on the minimum wage are not much more benchmarks in minimum food retailers are not much more benchmarks in mirsaying food retailers are not much more benchmarks in mir saying now, food retailers are not much more benchmarks in mirsaying now, martin,yd retailers are saying now, martin, that this lower food price inflation, not food prices coming down, but going up less quickly . this going up less quickly. this lower food price inflation could soon be reversed, but if it is reversed and if food price inflation goes up again, say the retailers, the government's retailers, it's the government's fault. so they're of fault. so they're kind of getting their spin in early and not only are that is not only is that completely but you that completely logical, but you actually predicted on the actually predicted that on the day autumn statement day of the autumn statement because what? day of the autumn statement becifise what? day of the autumn statement bec if you're what? day of the autumn statement bec if you're goingit? whack up >> if you're going to whack up pnces >> if you're going to whack up prices plus your your prices by 10% plus your your taxation on top, that's going to get passed on. >> going to whack >> if you're going to whack out the minimum wage. i mean, what i said on on during the said on on the on during the autumn that autumn statement was that governments love announce big

governments to love announce big increases in the minimum wage and increased from about and they increased it from about ten a half quid just over ten and a half quid to just over 11. a half quid. and they 11. and a half quid. and they also made the minimum wage, the main minimum wage, not just for 23 but they 23 year olds, plus, but they also in 21 22 year also brought in 21 and 22 year olds. they used be separate olds. they used to be a separate lower for them. and of lower rate for them. and of course, demographic will course, this demographic will cover lot of people, students, cover a lot of people, students, others, part time workers who are supermarkets . and are working in supermarkets. and that's the supermarkets are that's why the supermarkets are warning might have to that's why the supermarkets are war|prices might have to that's why the supermarkets are war|prices back might have to that's why the supermarkets are war|prices back upnight have to that's why the supermarkets are war|prices back up again have to that's why the supermarkets are war|prices back up again at/e to put prices back up again at a faster pace. look, in some senses, why is food price inflation so high? in some senses it's because food prices happen with a lag. so the food we're eating now, it was grown in a field, say in ukraine a year ago. right. and back then , year ago. right. and back then, fuel prices were high. fertiliser prices were high. obviously, the war between russia and ukraine was absolutely at its height. so those high food prices are sort of baked in for a while. having said that , i do think food price said that, i do think food price inflation is still higher than it should be, given the extent to which fertiliser prices, fuel

pncesis to which fertiliser prices, fuel prices is finance prices have come down and i do sense i know there's a lot of competition between food retailers on some products, but i think on others there isn't. now they will deny that that's just my opinion. or an ofcom regulator channel. but my observation over years my observation over many years is sometimes the food is that sometimes the food companies, the retailers compete and sometimes they don't really compete. and i'm hoping that if food price inflation does go up again, that we don't see serious political fallout . political fallout. >> and you were in chelmsford , i >> and you were in chelmsford, i understand, yesterday. so we're looking ahead now to christmas. you were there last week, of course. are they bracing themselves for some pain or are they for a bumper they hoping for a bumper christmas? yes, we're bacon. we're sort of adopting chelmsford a little here chelmsford a little bit here at gb news, a great essex city. >> it's quite near to >> of course, it's quite near to where i live in north essex, but we've picked it because we think it's a kind of bellwether place. yes, from london, yes, it's 30 miles from london, but not, you know, typical , but it's not, you know, typical, very prosperous , well—heeled very prosperous, well—heeled southeast. it's a mix of people.

in chelmsford. you've got a lot of entrepreneurs as you've got a lot of people who've done very well. you've got a lot of people who frankly are their best who frankly are doing their best to to day and so what to live day to day and so what we've done is we've gone to chelmsford talked chelmsford and we've talked to market other retailers market traders, other retailers about think about whether or not they think there's to be a decent there's going to be a decent christmas. well they do, or at least they're hoping there will be. know the interest be. but they know the interest rate price rises , rate rises, energy price rises, petrol and diesel price rises and food price rises. they know and food price rises. they know a lot of ordinary punters , shall a lot of ordinary punters, shall we say, in chelmsford , are we say, in chelmsford, are suffering. so they're hoping for the best, but they're preparing for a pretty mediocre christmas. must liam halligan always a pleasure with on the money that on your bike spirit still very much alive you'd hope in chelmsford now a new study has claimed that prehistoric women were hunting than men. were better at hunting than men. >> previous studies have indeed shown that women better shown that women are better suhed shown that women are better suited physiologically to endurance activities which would have provided an advantage when it came to hunting. it's also claimed that women have a metabolism better suited to

endurance. but can that be true ? endurance. but can that be true? well, let's ask the woman who made that claim, cora ogbogu, who's a director of the human energetics laboratory at the university of notre dame in the united states . thank you very united states. thank you very much for joining united states. thank you very much forjoining us on the show. much for joining us on the show. cora, your study has certainly put the cat amongst the pigeons. it's got us talking all over the world. so on the one hand, it would seem counterintuitive, physiologic only. we know men anatomically are typically stronger and have better endurance. when we look at records for example, in athletics . so what's made you athletics. so what's made you come to your conclusion ? come to your conclusion? >> yeah , yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> so it really is based on the actual evidence, both physiologic and ethnographic and archaeological . archaeological. >> well, i think the most interesting part about all of this is that this evidence has been around for quite some time now . the ethnographic and now. the ethnographic and archaeological evidence has existed since the 80s. the 70s , existed since the 80s. the 70s, the physiological evidence has come a long way since then. but

the fact of the matter is it's been ignored for a very long time . and so this is not so much time. and so this is not so much a new study as taking a new approach to evidence that has existed for quite some time. and you in particular analyse the archaeological remains of prehistoric men and women. >> right? and you saw that there was what there was equality in terms of how they received hunting injuries. is that correct ? correct? >> yeah. so i want to be clear that it's my co—author, dr. sara lacey, who does the archaeology and i do the physiology. but yes, when we look at neanderthals, we see the exact same rates of injury, same types of injury and same use where patterns, meaning if they're using an arm more than the other, we see the same patterns between females and males suggesting they were all doing the same thing. so we've always had this image and it's largely come from illustrations of the fellows going around with clubs and bows and arrows chasing the woolly mammoth , bringing home

woolly mammoth, bringing home the bacon as it were, and the women rearing children being the hunter gatherer, they're being the gatherers with the berries. >> saying this is >> are you saying this is completely wrong? >> i'm not saying it's completely wrong. i'm saying it >> i'm not saying it's colargely.y wrong. i'm saying it >> i'm not saying it's colargely wrongig. i'm saying it >> i'm not saying it's colargely wrong .. i'm saying it >> i'm not saying it's colargely wrong . ii'm saying it >> i'm not saying it's colargely wrong . i am saying it >> i'm not saying it's colargely wrong . i am sureig it >> i'm not saying it's colargely wrong . i am sure that is largely wrong. i am sure that women in our evolutionary past had to take breaks for child rearing and lactation, but humans are pretty wonderful in that we have communal child rearing so that children could be taken care of by grandparents or older siblings. but the fact of the matter is, is that early human groups lived in small numbers and there weren't enough people to actually specialise in different tasks . it had to be different tasks. it had to be all hands on deck . all hands on deck. >> okay . do you believe this ? >> okay. do you believe this? the reason i say that, and i know you've looked at evidence, but when we actually look at the physiological differences between men and women, when we look at the athletic records of endurance , of distance, of speed endurance, of distance, of speed , of hand—eye coordination , of , of hand—eye coordination, of physiological differences

between the makeup of human eyes, between the genders, it is undeniably true that men on paper at least, are better equipped to be hunters with the attributes physically that they have. so is this true ? have. so is this true? >> yeah, it is true. and it comes from the fact that you and a lot of people, myself included , have been told a particular narrative for a very long time. and i'll say, i'm a little disturbed that you're laughing because it means that you're actually ignoring the physiological evidence that is there . i'm sorry that it's funny there. i'm sorry that it's funny to you , but the science is what to you, but the science is what the science is and the kind of hunting that was done in our evolutionary past involved endurance running. it didn't involve strength. it didn't involve, you know, these long distance bows and arrows early on. it involved people running animals down to exhaustion. >> okay, cora , we're going to >> okay, cora, we're going to have to leave it there. thank you very much for that. it's an

eye opening study. thank you very totally enjoyed that. very much. totally enjoyed that. okay, let's go itv's at okay, so let's go on itv's at the centre of a storm. it could only be i'm a celebrity down unden only be i'm a celebrity down under. looking is

got a moose 5:00. i'm martin daubney . thanks forjoining me daubney. thanks forjoining me on gb news. i'll keep you company for the next hour. we've got loads coming up, including this insane on dirty tricks.

that's what nigel farage as people are accusing itv of over censoring him out of. i'm a celebrity get me out of here. apparently his chats about him hanging around with donald trump was considered too spy. see, they've removed that out. all they've removed that out. all they deliberately censoring mr brexit in case he makes a political comeback . that's the political comeback. that's the topic of the top of the hour. next up, how i got bad news for you. first, the bbc refused to condemn hamas as terrorists . now condemn hamas as terrorists. now they've hired guz khan and he's a guy, a comedian allegedly who spent the last few weeks calling israel guilty of genocide. he's about to be the guest anchor on havei about to be the guest anchor on have i got news for you. the least funny program in the world. sounds like it's going to get a little bit even funnier next. it has. rishi lost his marbles? yes, he's caught between a rock and a hard place on the elgin marbles. greece want them back. so are they a greek gift? we should return. or are they, as british as roast

beef? and they should stay in blighty in the british museum. and finally, it's the book everybody is talking about. you can't avoid it. if you tried end game by obe scobie. we've been through it. it's been panned by the critics . the times called it the critics. the times called it breathless, belligerent and boring. and the telegraph called it ludicrous propaganda for team sussex. we've been through it. so you don't have to. that's all coming up in the next hour. so you don't have to. that's all coming up in the next hour . so coming up in the next hour. so do you think that itv are running scared of nigel farage? have they let the genie out of the bottle? he's proving too popular . they're trying to popular. they're trying to suppress his message because now they're thinking, oh, if he comes back as a future conservative leader, if this guy becomes a prime minister or our fingerprints on the safe, let us know what you think. vaiews@gbnews.com. that's all in the next hour. but first, here's your news headlines with polly middlehurst . martin thank

concrete solution and i back them to do that. but actually what happened yesterday, in my view, wasn't about view, wasn't really about sculptures all. it was rishi sculptures at all. it was rishi sunak really being quite rude to a prime minister of an ally country when he should be and could have been talking about the economy or secured authority or climate change. the war in the middle east or i was going to come to that. you know, what better country could he talk to about how to deal small about how to deal with small boats country had boats than a country that's had to deal with a large number of small boats? >> schools could forced >> now, schools could be forced to during strike to stay open during strike action under new plans to action under tough new plans to be by the government. be introduced by the government. the education secretary says strikes past year were strikes over the past year were some of the most disruptive for children record . teaching children on record. teaching unions described the plans for minimum service levels as shameful. but julian keegan says her priority is keeping children in school . in school. >> well well, we are still supporting the fundamental right to strike, but we're trying to balance that with the fundamental right of a child to an education as well. >> for students to be able

>> and for students to be able to exams, for example. these to sit exams, for example. these are these a massive impact are these have a massive impact on young people and their on young people and on their parents. so we're trying on young people and on their pa|isits. so we're trying on young people and on their pa|is just yo we're trying on young people and on their pa|is just balanceve're trying on young people and on their pa|is just balance those rying on young people and on their pa|is just balance those two; do is just balance those two rights. and often you will rights. and quite often you will see schools lot to see that schools do a lot to support children anyway. support those children anyway. obviously they care to make sure that support the children that they support the children in care. but what we want in their care. but what we want to do is make that uniform across the country. >> gillian keegan now a man has admitted killing three people who died in separate attacks in nottingham earlier this year. students barnaby webber and grace o'malley kumar, both 19 and 65 year old caretaker ian coates died after being stabbed in june . valdo kulkarni also in june. valdo kulkarni also known as adam mendez, denied murder but admitted three counts of manslaughter on the basis of diminished responsibility. thousands attended vigils for the victims in nottingham in the wake of those attacks . the first wake of those attacks. the first transatlantic flight in a large passenger aircraft using green fuel has left heathrow. today

news channel. >> thank you, polly. great stuff. well, we start this hour. the simple question are itv censoring mr brexit? nigel farage. well, my fellow gb news presenter has already made a big impact in i'm a celebrity, but it now looks like itv are limiting his airtime. it now looks like itv are limiting his airtime . footage of limiting his airtime. footage of nigel talking about his friendship with donald trump was cut from last night's show. well, join me now is christine hamilton, who finished third, of course, in the first series of i'm a celebrity. chris, you've got your hat on. beautiful look at that textbook. you've got your prop. so, christine, you've beenin your prop. so, christine, you've been in the jungle, you've been down under. you've had a few rumbles in jungle. do you rumbles in the jungle. do you think this kind of think that this kind of nefarious censorship possible ? >> 7- >> oh, 7— >> oh, 100% 7 >> oh, 100% possible. i was asked when i before i went in, we all had to have psychological tests. can you believe it? and what are you afraid of? i said, well, it is faked. it's not you know, this, that and the other. i said, there's one thing i'm worried and that is worried about and that is editing because it's all in the

editing. >> they are. they are entirely responsible as to how you come across . obviously, they can't across. obviously, they can't make you do something you don't do, but they can cut out things that you do do and they can trim their sails, as it were. so that's worried me. and i'm that's what worried me. and i'm perfectly it worried perfectly certain it worried nigel we know what his game plan is . anyone who knows him knew is. anyone who knows him knew anyway . then admitted it. anyway. but then he admitted it. you he wanted as you know, he wanted to get as much airtime possible . he much airtime as possible. he wanted the trials because wanted to do the trials because he give him the he knew that would give him the bulk the airtime. it was bulk of the airtime. it was a big mistake to do that. he obviously he naively thought that whisper wouldn't that a little whisper wouldn't be heard. the other thing , which be heard. the other thing, which i one has to remember, i think one has to remember, which is really very which i think is really very sweet about all of them in there, obviously, nigel in there, but obviously, nigel in particular, know he particular, do you know he doesn't who the foreign doesn't know who the foreign secretary because that secretary is because that happened in. he if happened after he went in. he if he was asked, would still think it was cleverly so. i think that's a sort of glorious bit of joy - that's a sort of glorious bit of joy . boy, he's that's a sort of glorious bit of joy. boy, he's in blissful ignorance of all that. but yes, of course they can. he won't know. of course , that they have

know. of course, that they have cut out whatever said about cut out whatever he said about trump. we only have this, um, what's the word ? you know, the what's the word? you know, the employee who says that it's been cut out. we only have their word for it, so don't really know for it, so we don't really know what's cut out. but the what's cut out. but yes, the editing, i think they've got their knickers in bit of their knickers in a bit of a twist. itv to be honest. i mean they, they have paid over the odds, for goodness sake. a million just million and a half is just nonsense. know, nigel nonsense. you know, nigel obviously said, yes, please. but he would have done it for less than that. and then they apparently are losing viewers for people are for because people are boycotting it. i mean, you know, they're when rishi they're in trouble when rishi sunak hammering skills take priority over nigel in the jungle. so i think they're a little bit desperate as to know to what do. so i don't know if it was a riotous exchange about trump . why not leave it in? so i trump. why not leave it in? so i don't know. but yes, it's the editing that's the concern . editing that's the concern. >> concerned about, well, two things. is it because they just don't want him to win? they don't want him to win? they don't want him to win? they don't want him to have a sniff.

so therefore, they're just kind of airbrushing him out? or is it something more than that? is it this revelation within there that i don't that he said, actually, i don't know , maybe return as a know, maybe i will return as a future politician, maybe i will become the leader of the conservative and suddenly conservative party. and suddenly they're oh, gosh, they're thinking, oh, my gosh, we're going to be relaunching nigel farage as political career. he mentioned it first in the jungle in that room. we're going to have egg all over our face. we better keep this guy quiet, because that would be a nightmare because we're all lefties. >> terribly sorry, martin, >> i'm terribly sorry, martin, but your sound i couldn't hear any of that. i only know you finished speaking because your lips moving, so i lips have stopped moving, so i can't answer the question. i don't quite know what to say . don't quite know what to say. can you hear me now? >> is it because . can you hear >> is it because. can you hear me at all? she can't hear me. >> i can't hear you. >> but that's what i think we should be asking. that's the question. is it because they just don't want him to win? is it because they want to just phase out ? is he becoming phase him out? is he becoming too fact he's too popular? is the fact he's getting pummelled in the tests

and the bushtucker trials actually more popular actually making him more popular ? answering the ? he's answering all the questions people like questions from people like french, have a french, fred. now they have a p0p french, fred. now they have a pop ballroom. boer pop at him like a ballroom. boer about brexit it and they just bats it away like a cat with a mouse because of course he's so used to it. i wonder if the used to it. but i wonder if the bigger concern is , is they do bigger concern is, is they do fear a farage return to politics and just look domestically. now what's happening in britain. the conservative party is totally rudderless . they're about to be rudderless. they're about to be sunk by immigration. by the looks of it. so i wonder if we can get christine back now. can you hear me now, darling? >> can can you hear me now? >> can can you hear me now? >> good. so my question was this, christine in are they trying to censor him out of it because they don't want him to win the contest itself ? or is it win the contest itself? or is it something more than that? and thatis something more than that? and that is they fear a political return to nigel on the other side of the jungle. he's already announced that in the jungle he might consider getting back to be a future conservative leader. an itv or, you know, the liberal

luvvies the lefties, the itv are clutching pearls . they clutching their pearls. they get, oh my gosh, we're reeling . get, oh my gosh, we're reeling. watching nigel nigel's political career . we've got a bit of career. we've got a bit of kibosh on this sharpish. >> they're pretty stupid >> well, they're pretty stupid if they didn't realise he was going to come over. well, we don't have know a great deal about nigel. know, was about nigel. you know, he was obviously to sail through about nigel. you know, he was obvthose to sail through about nigel. you know, he was obvthose trials, to sail through about nigel. you know, he was obvthose trials, wasn't through about nigel. you know, he was obvthose trials, wasn't he?yugh about nigel. you know, he was obvthose trials, wasn't he? you all those trials, wasn't he? you know, he's not, he's not stupid the way he did that eating trial and even worse that and that even worse to me, that drinking trial , he just sailed drinking trial, he just sailed through them. they have through them. so they must have known going to flunk known he wasn't going to flunk them matt hancock them all, just like matt hancock did brilliantly. did all the trials brilliantly. not i'm comparing nigel in not that i'm comparing nigel in any sense matt hancock. so any sense to matt hancock. so i wouldn't have thought. they're too worried about that long term. they're worried about their program. has been a their program. this has been a massive program itv massive flagship program for itv for 22 years. i was in in 2002. so 22 years. it's been a real money spinner. it's brought in the adverts, it's brought in the viewers , it's brought in viewers, it's brought in everybody voting madly . and if everybody voting madly. and if they've lost that for whatever reason, then that's really what

will be exercising them. i don't ever thought never thought that nigel could win because if you look back at the people who win, you have to be you have to be very nice to win. i wasn't nice enough to win. tony blackburn won mine and matt hancock certainly wasn't nice enough to win . um, bill scott, the lioness win. um, bill scott, the lioness . christopher biggins won. they're the sort of people who win. it's the really nice people. and matt , win. it's the really nice people. and matt, nigel win. it's the really nice people. and matt , nigel doesn't people. and matt, nigel doesn't quite fit the category any more than i did, so. but i would have thought he could easily come third or fourth, if not second. but i don't think he'll actually take the crown >> okay. christine hamilton, thank you for joining >> okay. christine hamilton, thank you forjoining us on the thank you for joining us on the show. we've got over the technical issues, but actually, if this is true, people are saying here thousands and thousands comments, thousands of the comments, they're is being they're saying if nigel is being censored out of this and airbrush, it's going to make people more vote for people more likely to vote for him. the entire thing him. so perhaps the entire thing will anyway. get will backfire anyway. we get lots more on that story on our website. thanks you, website. and thanks to you, gbnews.com the fastest

bbc unable to even call hamas terrorists . we saw a story terrorists. we saw a story yesterday where bbc staff members were dissuaded or discouraged from attending the march against antisemitism. and now we have this kind of a character fronting one of their flagship shows. it has. we have to ask the question, what's going on at the bbc? well, this is not new. >> i mean, the bbc, bbc news particularly has behaved disgracefully against jews for a long, long time . um, but what long, long time. um, but what we're seeing, of course, is just some, some insane hypocrisy , not some, some insane hypocrisy, not just from the bbc, but also i think from gaza himself. he just put up a tweet yesterday , i put up a tweet yesterday, i think, sort of saying, oh, put up a tweet yesterday, i think, sort of saying , oh, guys, think, sort of saying, oh, guys, let's jews are okay. and we should be mindful of not upset jewish people because have a jewish people because have a jewish friend and she's scared. and the cynicism there of the timing of it just before him appearing on have i got news and

after seven weeks of just being after seven weeks of just being a one man propagandist for hamas, basically i think is just utterly disgusting. >> and josh, what is it about we've seen this kind of mindset capture a lot of our public institutions. it's captured most of academia for almost all of hollywood. most of showbiz. and now the bbc, which meant to be impartial . of now the bbc, which meant to be impartial. of course, that's that's going to be a challenge in itself. but what is it in particular about the mindset of the bbc, do you think that allows these kind of characters to even be considered for a job if they made comments if they made those comments about any of the national group or nowhere or ethnic group, he'd be nowhere near screen in no, of course near the screen in no, of course it's because if i'm honest, i think that i think there's a lot of anti—semitism going on. >> and the fact that it's just somehow this this cause is being taken up by those who they want to be cool like this is something that's that's cool. i don't know . i do

something that's that's cool. i don't know. i do think something that's that's cool. i don't know . i do think that don't know. i do think that there are people who look, no one wants innocent people to die. i mean, that's the of course, that goes without saying. but this is a very complicated situation. and someone like gaz , who is , you someone like gaz, who is, you know, a handful of tweets over years about what's happening to muslims in yemen, the uyghurs in sudan , in syria, hundreds of sudan, in syria, hundreds of thousands of muslims killed. and yet a few handful of tweets, certainly nothing to like, oh, let's all go out and marches and whatever. but suddenly israel is defending itself after the worst atrocities against jews since the holocaust . and suddenly the holocaust. and suddenly israel or an evil, evil and the lies of the these the words are constantly used where we have sort of occupation. well, no, israel hasn't been in gaza since 2005 and ethnic cleansing. well, that's to get that's not ethnic cleansing. that's moving a population out of harm's way to

save civilian lives. and also, by the way, not applying that term to the hundreds of thousands of jewish israelis and arab israelis who have to move from the north and the south of israel to be safe and then you have jeff , genocide, which is have jeff, genocide, which is just incredibly offensive. and for a population , the for a population, the palestinian population in gaza, you know, has doubled in 20 years. that's not a genocide . years. that's not a genocide. stop using these words . see if stop using these words. see if you can make your case without lying, which is what we've seen. we've seen lying. and so when we see someone like gaza come in and go, oh, guys , let's let's and go, oh, guys, let's let's just remember that jewish people are scared as well. well, why are scared as well. well, why are we scared? we're scared because people like you guys are putting out these lies, putting out tweets . it's like israel out tweets. it's like israel killed 500 people in a hospital . killed 500 people in a hospital. turns out, no. 500 people didn't die. they're saying it's about ten people. it was a car park and it wasn't israel . but what and it wasn't israel. but what he leaves the tweet up, it's been it's still there. and those

kind of tweets and that kind of messaging, that kind of propaganda spreads into real life hate, which we saw spread against jews across the world. in the uk, anti—semitic incidents are increasing. 1,500. and i'm sorry, but a good chunk of that is coming from the muslim community. so the rhetoric that someone like us is using and now he's going to be lauded on one of bbc's prime time entertainment shows , is time entertainment shows, is contributing to that and turning around after seven weeks just because he knows that there's going to be a bit of a kickback for him being chosen for that role. and saying, oh, guys, let's let's be remembered. jews as well . it's and by the way, if as well. it's and by the way, if you look on his comments under that tweet and you see the hatred , the rhetoric, is he hatred, the rhetoric, is he calling out any of those people? they're called who are who are being anti—semitic and also the people going, oh, zionist evil, oh, we love jews, but zionist . oh, we love jews, but zionist. well, guess what? 95% of jews are zionists. so using that

pathetic code zionists like it makes it okay to suddenly suddenly be a hateful bigot isn't all right. actually >> okay. josh, we have to point out guz khan isn't here to defend himself. we know that would deny that he's a hamas propagandist. he's not a bbc employee. so in that case he will get around the bbc social media guidelines policy. you would assume. but in a nutshell, josh, do you think he should be allowed to have this job? people of our persuasion don't normally agree with cancel culture, but would you think that his opinions mean he's unfit to be chairing a flagship bbc show ? chairing a flagship bbc show? >> that's the that's the tricky bit, isn't it? because don't want to be a hypocrite here. um, i think it comes down to look saying all of the things that i've said he's he's a pretty funny guy. i just absolutely disagree with the stuff. and i believe that his tweets are causing real world harm towards jewish people . uh, as to whether

jewish people. uh, as to whether he then goes , what is he going he then goes, what is he going to say on this show? i just think it's hypocritical of him . think it's hypocritical of him. i think it's hypocritical of the bbc to feign impartiality. i think it's hypocritical of the bbc to feign impartiality . see, bbc to feign impartiality. see, and yet when it actually comes down to its practices , they down to its practices, they obviously it feels like have an agenda. when was the last jewish person they got on? have i got news for you? not that. and you know what? even me saying that annoys me because actually i shouldn't have said that because it isn't a two sided thing. judaism don't exist in judaism and islam don't exist in contrast each other. contrast to each other. >> but still, thank you very much the show much for joining us on the show today gb news. have to today on gb news. we have to leave there. strong stuff. leave it there. strong stuff. thank for us and thank you for joining us and being outspoken. okay. now being so outspoken. okay. now the the return of the the ram of the return of the elgin marbles has intensified. rishi has been accused of rishi sunak has been accused of being weak for meeting being weak for not meeting the greek minister and missing greek prime minister and missing a crucial opportunity to discuss illegal immigration to the uk. at the same time , i'm martin at the same time, i'm martin daubney on gb news and this is

authorities are perfectly capable of working together, doing some negotiated thing and coming up with a good concrete solution, and back them to do solution, and i back them to do that. >> but actually, what happened yesterday, in my view, wasn't really sculptures all. really about sculptures at all. it rishi sunak really being it was rishi sunak really being quite rude to a prime minister of an ally country when he should be and could have been talking about the economy or security or climate change, the war in the middle east or i was going to come to that. you know what better country could he talk to about how to deal with small boats than a country that's had to deal with a large number small boats what number of small boats on what would labour do? >> thangam debbonaire we think it's idea for a museum it's a good idea for a museum that actually the custodi of that actually is the custodi of those articles to negotiate with the authorities and come the greek authorities and come up a good solution. up with a good solution. >> to discussing >> i look forward to discussing it british museum, it with the british museum, which will be doing in which i will be doing in a couple of weeks time. which i will be doing in a couwell, weeks time. which i will be doing in a couwell, debbonairee. which i will be doing in a couwell, debbonaire lost the >> well, debbonaire lost the marbles me marbles there. joining me now are historian david oldroyd are the historian david oldroyd bolt lisa bolt and the academic lisa mckenzie. let's kick mckenzie. lisa, let's kick off with let's a good old with you. let's have a good old ding on this. presumably ding dong on this. presumably you there a greek gift

ottoman empire who were there then destroying it, the greek climate and the acid rain and the erosion athens has the erosion in athens has subsequently damaged what remains even more than it already was. >> what remains in london is the most exquisitely preserved section of the elgin marbles . section of the elgin marbles. what is in athens is only recently being cleaned. and frankly, i don't trust the greeks to keep it to the standard that it should be kept. >> well, that that's not a reason for them not to go back now is it? what happened in in the 17th hundreds? >> i it is because have >> i think it is because we have the right to it. >> we have preserved it for 200 years. >> no, the right. >> no, not the right. >> no, not the right. >> we don't have the right. we quite rightly have probably cared for them and looked after them. >> they've f-a f“ >> and they've been a great exhibit. we've gone and looked. >> but actually, not our >> but actually, they're not our story. and, you know, i'm a great one that to believe in telling our own stories and we have lots and of fantastic have lots and lots of fantastic stories that don't get told because is because the british museum is filled doesn't filled with things that doesn't belong to us. so let's tell our own stories . own stories. >> the elgin paid 35 grand for

them in 1810. that's about £4 million today. so 5 million, i think. fair deal. it's a huge amount. >> he spent his own money on it and then sold it to the british state for half of what he'd paid. so this was not some act of rapaciousness. was not of rapaciousness. this was not someone there to take someone going in there to take something like something just because you like the this was a man the look of it. this was a man who realised that there have been historical degradation of one the most important one of the most important remaining sculptures one of the most important remworld sculptures one of the most important remworld and sculptures one of the most important remworld and sctryingas save the world and was trying to save it. think we should thank it. so i think we should thank lord elgin in the first place. and i think there are 6 million people come to the people a year come to the british museum these british museum to see these things. there are 3 million a yeah things. there are 3 million a year. go to the athens museum and be capped and that has to be capped because can't handle any because they can't handle any greater number. in fact, the better don't we better argument is why don't we reunite here? reunite them all here? >> we have. that's a >> we should have. that's not a good argument the marble good argument for the marble here the majority of here so that the majority of people seeing these things in the two museums here. the two museums see them here. >> you, thinking >> can i just ask you, thinking about lord elgin and, you know, he wanted preserve them, do he wanted to preserve them, do you he i think he would you think he i think he would want them to go back. >> he wouldn't because he >> well, he wouldn't because he said and so did

said so at the time, and so did the parliamentary committee to investigate. it was the parliamentary committee to incrime ate. it was the parliamentary committee to incrime ate not it was the parliamentary committee to incrime ate not for it was the parliamentary committee to incrime ate not for him it was the parliamentary committee to incrime ate not for him to it was the parliamentary committee to incrime ate not for him to getas a crime or not for him to get not now, but now because i've been to athens, they look after the history. >> they a fantastic story. >> they tell a fantastic story. it's place. it's a wonderful place. >> museum that they've >> and the museum that they've got world class. so you know, got is world class. so you know, he probably i he'd he would probably i think he'd want back. want them to go back. >> i really don't. and nor do i believe that if you have a believe that any if you have a museum of the quality of the british museum, just you british museum, just as if you have the quality of have a museum, the quality of the humboldt museum berlin, the humboldt museum in berlin, those that they those things that they have collected centuries are there. >> and to start repatriating things doesn't make things not only doesn't make sense because it actually doesn't story of this doesn't tell the story of this nafion doesn't tell the story of this nation to tell the of this nation to tell the story of this nafion nation to tell the story of this nation is to tell the story of our fight for greek independence and with the and our involvement with the ottoman empire. so it is part of our story. to start our story. but to start repatriating i think repatriating things, i think makes no sense at all because then to end up with then you're going to end up with entirely insular museums, which are very use, i'm afraid. >> we have to leave there, >> we have to leave it there, guys. david oldroyd bolt and also lisa mckenzie. also academic lisa mckenzie. thanks us. and thanks forjoining us. kwasi and rocking place. bum, rocking the whole place. bum, bum. let's finally move on. there's lot more still to come

there's a lot more still to come between 6:00, including between now and 6:00, including i'll look at the controversial new about the royal family new book about the royal family written by harry and meghan's favourite which favourite journalist, which has been ludicrous been slammed as ludicrous propaganda for the sussexes. but first, let's go to your latest news headlines with polly middlehurst . middlehurst. >> hello there. the headlines this hour. all 41 workers who've been trapped in a collapsed tunnelin been trapped in a collapsed tunnel in india have been brought to the surface after 17 days trapped underground . and days trapped underground. and rescuers broke through rocks and debns rescuers broke through rocks and debris to reach the crew who are currently on their way to field hospitals for medical checks . hospitals for medical checks. the rescue mission involved extracting the workers one at a time on a stretcher pulled through a pipe just three feet wide. the indian authorities had been supplying the men with oxygen and water through oxygen, food and water through a separate channel here in the uk. schools could be forced to stay open during strike action under tough new plans to be introduced by the government. the education secretary says strikes over the

past year were some of the most disruptive on record for children. teachers unions, though, have described the plans for minimum service levels as shameful. but the education secretary, gillian keegan , says secretary, gillian keegan, says her priority is merely keeping children in school . children in school. >> well we are still supporting the fundamental right to strike, but we're trying to balance that with fundamental right of a with the fundamental right of a child an education as well. child to an education as well. >> for students be able >> and for students to be able to for example, these to sit exams, for example, these are have massive impact are these have a massive impact on and on their on young people and on their parents. so what we're trying to do just balance those two do is just balance those two rights. often you will rights. and quite often you will see that schools do lot to see that schools do a lot to support those children anyway. obviously care make sure obviously they care to make sure that support the children that they support the children in care. but what we want in their care. but what we want to do is make that uniform across the country. >> gillian keegan now lots of people putting up christmas people putting up the christmas decorations well decorations this weekend. well this could get in the mood. this could get you in the mood. the office is predicting the met office is predicting snow in parts of the uk as we head into december. they've issued weather warning issued a yellow weather warning for and icy conditions. for snow and icy conditions. ions creating hazardous driving

conditions, particularly in the north—east of england, yorkshire and parts of scotland. that warning is in place now until late tomorrow morning . more on late tomorrow morning. more on all those stories by heading to our website gbnews.com . our website gbnews.com. and thank you, polly. >> now the uk's largest ever probe into child abuse will not launch any new investigation as from next year. there were more than 1500 victims of rape gangs in rotherham between 1997 and 2013. but since 2014, officers from the national crime agency have made more than 200 arrests and secured 26 convictions with more than 50 active investigations still ongoing . investigations still ongoing. and this comes as a great shock to many people that have spent a lot of time campaigning on this issue. rotherham is an issue that left a dark stain oe over britain and the local police

force in south yorkshire and the councils and the politicians and the media. there was a huge culture of silence , and it took culture of silence, and it took brave individuals like jane senior, the whistleblower , to senior, the whistleblower, to expose this. working with her charity and it's just come to the point now where it's been passed over back to south yorkshire police , the nca and yorkshire police, the nca and the national crime authority will no longer open any new investigations and we're going to speak to somebody on this soon because i think that's a that's huge shift of emphasis that's a huge shift of emphasis because let's not forget that at the time, south yorkshire police were deemed unfit for purpose and now it's going back to them. what do we think about that? because it seems to me a lot of the people that have been campaigning on this are quite happy with the existing system station. move on. the station. let's move on. the controversial new book the controversial new book about the royal family by harry royal family written by harry and meghan's favourite journalist, out and the journalist, is out and the reviews scathing . it's been reviews are scathing. it's been called ludicrous propaganda for team sussex. i'm martin daubney

on gb news and we are britain's news channel

>> britain's news channel . >> britain's news channel. >> britain's news channel. >> welcome back. it's 541. you're watching or listening to martin daubney on gb news. now let's get more on that story. i was talking about a few moments ago before the break, and that's this, largest ever this, the uk's largest ever probe into child abuse will not launch any new investigations from next year . there were more

from next year. there were more than 1500 victims rape gangs than 1500 victims of rape gangs in rotherham between 1997 and 2013. but since 2014, officers from the national crime agency have made more than 200 arrests and secured 26 convictions, with more than 50 active investigations still ongoing . investigations still ongoing. let's get the thoughts now of former met senior investigating officer peter kirkham. peter thanks for joining us. officer peter kirkham. peter thanks forjoining us. always thanks for joining us. always a pleasure. i guess the concern with this is that the existing operation , operation stovewood , operation, operation stovewood, which handled the uk's biggest ever child protection scandal, is now being terminated and the control is being handed back to south yorkshire police. but the problem there is that the police and crime commissioner of south yorkshire police resigned over this issue back in the day . so this issue back in the day. so what does that say to survivors who are still coming forward? because this issue is still ongoing in the area ?

ongoing in the area? >> i think you need to take a little step back and ask what has changed since then? >> south yorkshire police have changed beyond recognition in in relation to their handling of child abuse cases and i believe they've reached recently been graded as outstanding in that area by the national inspectorate and as with everything, there comes a time when you have to draw a line under it and move on. if we neven under it and move on. if we never, ever drew a line under anything wrong, we'd never get anywhere very fast. and so there has to come a time when investigating officers is in charge of large ranging , wide charge of large ranging, wide ranging inquiries such as this, where there are numerous victims or complex inquiries and serious inquiries where, for whatever reason , they are getting nowhere reason, they are getting nowhere , have to draw a line under it and move on to other things. and it's really difficult to do

that, especially if you have an interest in that investigation as either a victim family of a victim or whatever. but i think the national crime agency have given this a very good shot at, and they have got a long way with it . and they have taken the with it. and they have taken the view that now is the time to draw a line under it. and any future cases that come to light will be passed back to south yorkshire police to deal with in a normal way to things. >> to respond to that, though , >> to respond to that, though, and the first of all, if it ain't broke, why fix it? because presumably operation stovewood has very effective method has been a very effective method of communication with very , very of communication with very, very sensitive individuals and cases. and jane, senior, of course , the and jane, senior, of course, the whistleblower who exposed the entire in rotherham said entire scandal in rotherham said this, which i think is very concerning. it's difficult to know how things would look with south yorkshire police taking over we've never had any over because we've never had any contact with their child sexual exploitation team. we don't know what their operations and their investigations will even look

like. so isn't there a case to be made that there's if there's no transition period, they will initially, of course, be a reluctant and a resistance for survivors to come forward . survivors to come forward. >> i think there will be a transition period. the actual investigations that the national crime agency already have are not being passed back to south yorkshire police, as i understand it, they're continuing those and will take them wherever they go , be that them wherever they go, be that prosecution or whatever . um prosecution or whatever. um presumably south yorkshire police have been dealing with other investigations that have come to light since and those involve with those investigations will know how. south yorkshire police now operate. and so people that have been focussed on the operation stovewood investigation in particular, there will definitely need to be some transition period for them to become aware of how south yorkshire police now operate it so that they can be confident that that any subsequent

inquiries that come up during the stovewood out of the stovewood period that have not come to light thus far, will be dean come to light thus far, will be dealt with. >> the issue here, of course, is one of legacy, isn't it? this is not only the biggest uk child protection scandal in history, it also saw the entire system unfit for purpose. in fact, the council was concluded not fit for purpose in the 2015 kc report and the failure, the systemic failure of the police of the council of the politicians, of the media leaves that huge shadow over the area. so peter, you would really, really hope that lessons have been learned in the interim penod. period. >> i absolutely agree that we hope that lessons have been learned , but we have to return learned, but we have to return to some degree of normality in relation to the policing of an area and the way policing is donein area and the way policing is done in this country. the

geographical police forces deal with local matters in their local areas . the national crime local areas. the national crime agency was brought in because of the exceptional nature of the problems that occurred in this case. they have got a day job to get on with and they need to be able to move on to that once they've taken this as far as they've taken this as far as they consider appropriate. and now is that time as far as they are concerned . and so we need to are concerned. and so we need to have care in the transition. but it is time , it would appear, to it is time, it would appear, to move things back to normality where south yorkshire police are responsible for things happening in their area. >> okay. peter kirkham, former met senior investigating officer, thank you very much for joining me on the show today. now let's get to the book about the royal family that they're all about after weeks all talking about after weeks and extracts being made and weeks of extracts being made public, endgame has finally been published today. and guess what? a book written by a man described as harry and meghan's favoured journalist to stick the knife into the other royals . but knife into the other royals. but the sussexes have had an easy cop out of a ride . well, some

cop out of a ride. well, some journalists have had the unpleasant job having to read unpleasant job of having to read omid scobie's book, and they didn't back with their didn't hold back with their reviews. anita singh from the telegraph. rae doesn't hold back at she says, and game is at all, she says, and game is ludicrous. propaganda for team sussex, adding it's laughably partial , sussex, adding it's laughably partial, devoid of insight and bizarrely misogynistic. and finally putting the boot in with this , she describes it as a hit this, she describes it as a hit job, reading like a mum's net post. hillary rose and the times, meanwhile, says that obe scobie is breathless , scobie is breathless, belligerent and boring , and the belligerent and boring, and the new york times even wades in its writer evie walsh over says the chapter about harry and meghan reads like a press release cooked up by chat gpt. but joining me now is the royal commentator and the author, duncan larcombe duncan. it's the book that everybody's talking about, but not many people seem to have much positive words to say about it and no summary.

>> there is probably something that would make omid think, well , at least i'm going to sell more copies . we're getting more copies. we're getting talked about. >> i think it's been a big, big story. his book, his latest book, and i think he'll probably be delighted with how it's been received . received. >> you think there may be a reapplication of the phrase recollections may vary about some of the content that's there in. well yeah, i mean, a lot of stuff that comes out of this bookis stuff that comes out of this book is yet another attack on prince william in particular, but also king charles and it tries to throw a few more truth bombs as they like across the atlantic towards the royal family >> but you know, how how much this represents what harry and meghan themselves think and feel and say is we really don't know the spiciest allegations in the

book, of course, was this conversation about the skin colour of the sussexes child, archie , or the speculation archie, or the speculation around that cause immense amounts of damage and pain and now it turns out that scobie is claiming there was not one but two royal racist acts . yes, two royal racist acts. yes, that's right . the royal racist that's right. the royal racist at large . and now it turns out at large. and now it turns out there are two. he doesn't name them. he says he knows who they are but can't name them for legal reasons. um, you know, we had harry in his interview when his book came out. spare just in january this year. harry actually said, well, it wasn't a racism thing. it was it was, you know, say, harry backtracked. so it's hard to see how this new book, um, reigniting those arguments would carry favour with with harry himself . with with harry himself. >> now duncan, have you had the pleasure of tucking into this book yet ?

book yet? >> no, i haven't quite yet , but >> no, i haven't quite yet, but i've been reading about it. >> do you think it will sell well, or i mean, is there anything left in it? i mean, we've been talking about the flaming thing for weeks. >> look, i mean, this is the thing people say, well, they're bored of harry and meghan, and yet you see this book and some of the relevant revelations in it being front page stories around the world, in france, in germany , and obviously here in germany, and obviously here in the uk . you know, the interest the uk. you know, the interest in this royal rift isn't going anywhere. people are fascinated. and i think that's because harry was such a popular royal, second only to the queen. and yet within a few years of marriage, meghan, their second at the bottom of the charts only to prince andrew. so it's a it's a fascinating story. >> okay. duncan larcombe, we're going to have to leave it there. thanks for joining going to have to leave it there. thanks forjoining us on the thanks for joining us on the show. and at that precise moment, michelle dewberry is

hoved into view into the studio, of course. >> can a learn voice in the nafion >> can a learn voice in the nation because i don't care about this book. >> yeah, i don't you know like when i hear all so—and—so said this about meghan and so—and—so said i just roll my eyes. are you interested? >> well, the thing about it is that it's it does engage a huge amount of people. you know, why are you engaged out there? >> tell me why. >> tell me why. >> why? >> why? >> why? >> why should people care ? i >> why should people care? i think people care about the unfairness of it. that's one thing i do care about. in particular, thing about particular, this thing about there secret racists there being two secret racists in royal and he can't in the royal family and he can't name reasons. well, name for legal reasons. well, how . how convenient. >> no, he doesn't want to >> no, no, he doesn't want to name for legal reasons name them for legal reasons because that because he's frightened that he'll backside he'll get his backside soon. that's mean. but if that's what i mean. but if you're so adamant that there are indeed multiple racists indeed these multiple racists lacking royal family put lacking in the royal family put your money where your mouth is, right? >> print claims or shut up . >> print your claims or shut up. >> print your claims or shut up. >> so you do care? >> so. so you do care? >> no, i don't care. >> i don't care. i don't. i don't care about the constant like i just find it such a

ridiculousness and everyone's going to be really offended because they will apparently care and they'll be fascinated by what's in this book. >> and oh, maybe i'm just turning into a, i don't know, a bitter old woman that needs to read more books. >> i understand that there's this tittle tattle. if we ignore it, .will away. wh y do we it, it .will go away. why do we keep it the oxygen? but keep giving it the oxygen? but at the same time, what i don't like about it the unfairness. like about it is the unfairness. okay? they're the family. okay? they're the royal family. they you they hold like pity me, you know, poor meek little know, poor and meek little individuals. nevertheless they know, poor and meek little indiyofuals. nevertheless they know, poor and meek little indiyofuals. to vertheless they know, poor and meek little indiyofuals. to bite ieless they know, poor and meek little indiyofuals. to bite their they know, poor and meek little indiyofuals. to bite their lipey sort of have to bite their lip and they they're not and they do. and they're not allowed to reply. and i just think. >> martin the royal family, they need to about them. need people to talk about them. they be somebody and a they need to be somebody and a collection people people collection of people that people are interested in. because the second don't an second that people don't have an interest family, interest in the royal family, then struggle. but then they struggle. but you can't all one you can't have it all one way. you can't have it all one way. you can't say, i only want the interest that's positive and i'm not going to take any of the negative. i don't whole negative. i don't buy that whole notion. you're in the public notion. if you're in the public eye, take the rough with the smooth. >> simple that. >> simple as that. >> simple as that. >> i just got out of bed >> maybe i just got out of bed the wrong side. >> got right side.

squeezing together as well, the winds bringing winds picking up, bringing a real proceeding as the real chill to proceeding as the showers across northern showers come in across northern and scotland, but also and eastern scotland, but also south—east and south—east scotland and north—east england, maybe rain on could on the coast, but we could easily some and snow easily see some sleet and snow even lower levels for a even down to lower levels for a time through the night and likely to temporary icy as well. that's have office that's why we have met office yellow weather warnings in place, more cloud further place, a bit more cloud further south, showers here. south, 1 or 2 rain showers here. temperatures just above temperatures may just stay above freezing the freezing across parts of the south. but for many, it'll be a frosty start to wednesday, potentially still icy to northeast and northern northeast england and northern scotland. still have scotland. so we do still have that place. and that warning in place. and further and snow showers further sleet and snow showers coming the coming in through the day, particularly over northern scotland. east scotland. parts of the east coast could some as well. coast could see some as well. but cloud, 1 or showers in but a cloud, 1 or 2 showers in the south—west. but for many, it's sparkling of late it's a sparkling day of late autumn sunshine. but it feels cold. temperatures struggling 2 or 3 degrees at best for many and another hard frost likely by thursday morning by which time there's some cloud and outbreaks of rain creeping into the south that could have some sleet and snow mixed in. but mostly likely only over the moors . only really over the moors. further wintry showers coming

into again, into the east. and again, another cold feeling, day 2 or 3 at best for many of

group. so i'm asking you how much scrutiny should these armed officers face when it comes to their handling of life and death situations and a new campaign calling for us all now to put pressure on our pension funds to get them to stop investing in companies who fund new oil and gas. should we? what is more important to you? the planet or the cold, hard cash that you'll end up retiring with? and be honest, please. no one is going to judge you and sunak. he is under the spotlight again today after cancelling a meeting with the greek pm over the elgin marbles . do the greek pm over the elgin marbles. do you think these things should be given to greece? let me ask you again honestly , do you about this honestly, do you care about this ? and it's been said many times before that the first casualty of war is the truth. and with things now a critical stage when it comes to the israel hamas conflict, do you know what to believe anymore . yes, indeed.

believe anymore. yes, indeed. i've got
