he's at the covid inquiry. >> it's not the room is not true that bev turner was waiting outside to attack him, but she thought about it. >> it's around the corner from where we filmed news where we where we filmed gb news and the crowd. i have to say the crowd of today was huge, crowd of press today was huge, bigger any other day. bigger than any other day. >> to be there >> and he's going to be there for two days. so he's going to be quizzed, questioned about social the social distancing measures, the vaccine and course, vaccine rollout and of course, all criticism been all the criticism that's been aired in the inquiry aired about him in the inquiry so . so far. >> that's right. remember those leaked messages earlier leaked whatsapp messages earlier from so—called from this year, the so—called lockdown as the daily lockdown files as the daily telegraph called just to telegraph called them? just to recap, are some of the findings. >> hancock ignored official advice to all residents advice to test all residents going homes. going into care homes. >> he launched a >> that's right, he launched a rearguard action, apparently to ensure that schools would not open widely . open widely. >> he messaged george osborne, the former chancellor, when he was editing the evening standard , for favour of , asking for a favour of positive coverage. >> and now matt hancock has repeatedly criticise the leaks, referring to published messages as a partial biased account to suit an anti—lockdown agenda . so

suit an anti—lockdown agenda. so which is a ridiculous thing to say. >> so he's got some big questions to answer, but will the questions be asked? >> no, they're not going to ask him any of the right questions and actually funnily enough we've talked on this about the inquiry being focussed too much on who said what to who and what does that tell us about the people in hancock's people in matt hancock's case? i think a big question does sit over his character actually, and to what extent his own personal wants and needs for a pandemic as one of those whatsapp messages said as well, that it would be good for his career and to what extent. and also he was cheating on his missus. like, do you know people who loved lockdown , people who were lockdown, people who were cheating wives? they cheating on their wives? they loved because they loved lockdown because they could wives, you're could tell their wives, you're not the house. not allowed to leave the house. and go and i'm and i'm going to go and i'm going to be in the car park of the club with for the golf club with someone for half hour. they didn't say half an hour. they didn't say that, but it played to certain issues, personal issues. i think in can't him in his life. they can't ask him that, obviously. and of

that, obviously. but and of course, he's he's he's standing down the election, of down at the next election, of course, because lost the tory course, because he lost the tory whip, he went into the whip, because he went into the jungle his case, jungle character in his case, i think there quite lot of think there is quite a lot of questions be asked about questions to be asked about character we need to know character and we need to know why, why the fear was so why, why, why the fear was so exaggerated they ignored exaggerated and why they ignored data the princess, the data like the princess, the diamond cruise ship. diamond princess cruise ship. i know ridiculous, but know it sounds ridiculous, but in there was this in january 2020, there was this cruise had about 2666 cruise ship which had about 2666 passengers on i think it passengers on it, i think it was. and covid on that was. and they got covid on that cruise ship. and it actually formed a brilliant petri dish example infection example of the infection fatality rate actually fatality rate and actually proved that for the vast majority of people, covid was not lethal death sentence not the lethal death sentence for the vast majority of people, it wasn't going to be that dangerous. all of that kind of thing ignored . and went thing ignored. and they went headlong focussed on locking down the country, making us stay at home. and i got a message from my mum this morning who reminded me she got a phone call on the 30th of march from her to gp say, if you get covid, do you want to sign a do not

resuscitate order? and she was sitting at the kitchen table having a cup of tea and a cheese sandwich . and she said, and it sandwich. and she said, and it was so upsetting . and that came was so upsetting. and that came from his department ring. anybody ring the old ring? anybody ring the old ring? anybody that's got a pre—existing condition pre—existing medical condition and well and ask these perfectly well living people if they want to sign a do resuscitate order, sign a do not resuscitate order, just just a complete ripping up of hundreds of years of medical ethics. disgusting >> well, gb news presented pip tomson is outside the inquiry. pip. he's arrived. i presume . pip. he's arrived. i presume. sorry andrew, i didn't hear your question. >> could you just say that ' 7 m. again? >> yeah, i said as he arrived yet because there's a huge crowd of people waiting to see him. yeah he got here especially early. >> i think he was here just after 8:00. so, bev, if you were heading past, you might well have missed him. and i know from what you said, bev, you've got so many questions , as i should so many questions, as i should try and slip a piece of paper, shouldn't i? to baroness hallett

who's, who's the who's, who's chairing the inquiry yeah, hancock inquiry. but yeah, matt hancock is up in the next few minutes. former health secretary i think we last saw him didn't we on celebrity sas being interrogated we'll see if this is as taxing for him over the next couple of days. what does seem to be a running theme through this inquiry so far is his overconfidence , if you like, and overconfidence, if you like, and his optimism. overconfidence, if you like, and his optimism . um, and this is his optimism. um, and this is the man who led all those daily press briefings who was telling us what to do about social distancing, updating us on the vaccine programme and the state of the nhs and was then forced to resign in 2021 after breaking his own social distancing rules. now, so far there have been a number of key witnesses who's giving their testimony , which giving their testimony, which has been quite damning of mr hancock. it includes the former nhs chief executive , lord nhs chief executive, lord stevens, who said that matt hancock thought he, rather than medical professionals or the public, should decide who should

live and who should die. and fortunately this is a horrible dilemma, said lord stevens , dilemma, said lord stevens, never crystallised all so very interesting was what the former deputy cabinet secretary, helen macnamara said, who who claimed that matt hancock had nuclear levels of overconfidence. and then she recalled, and you'll probably remember this andrew and bev she recalled this what she said jarring incident where she said jarring incident where she was talking to him about how difficult it must be to be health secretary during the pandemic. and matt hancock responded by miming playing cricket, saying they bowl at me. i knocked them away . the most i knocked them away. the most damning testimony. so far has come from, as you might expect, dominic cummings , who was boris dominic cummings, who was boris johnson's chief adviser. he has alleged that matt hancock lied his way through the pandemic and killed people and dozens and dozens of people have seen it. but there has been some defence of matt hancock as well. michael

gove, who gave evidence earlier in the week he was a minister for the cabinet office at the time of the pandemic. he said i have a high opinion of matt hancock as a minister. well this part of the inquiry is looking at the decision making. it will of course be looking at the lack of course be looking at the lack of ppe, the number of people who died in care homes, the claims that matt hancock made in may 2020 that he'd thrown a protective ring around care homes. was that really true ? homes. was that really true? relatives i've been speaking to this morning say that was a figment of his imagination. i'll bnng figment of his imagination. i'll bring you the very latest here on gb news. the inquiry starts very shortly. >> okay. thank you so much , pip. >> okay. thank you so much, pip. pip tomson there. yeah, well, i don't have any confidence that he'll be asked any of the right questions, but let's see what he has to say. i might be wrong. >> and he's there for two days. >> and he's there for two days. >> what time does he come out? what i finish it? >> what time does he come out? what i finish it ? look, what time do i finish it? look, i would just to love have i'd love to have him in the studio. i'd love for to us be able to

interview him. i don't think to ask him all the questions. it won't ask it won't. it will never happen. i'd like to see him in court, actually. but anyway. worrying news anyway. right. worrying news this security sources this morning. security sources have news that a terror have told gb news that a terror attack uk linked to the attack in the uk linked to the gaza a matter gaza conflict is only a matter of time. >> and this comes, of course, at a time, of course, the a time, of course, to the anti—terror hotline of recent 700% war in gaza 700% since the war in gaza started month. our started last month. our home security editor white joins security editor mark white joins us mark, so what us in the studio. mark, so what are they telling you? >> well, some concern that >> well, some real concern that the number of extremists that are out there that are being radicalised has increased significantly because a lot of the images that are coming out of gaza that can trigger them and what the counter—terror police have said, although not acknowledged , sing this line acknowledged, sing this line that a terror attack is only a matter of time, have indicated that they are carrying out many more investigations. they are trying to get the message out there as well to the public to be extra vigilant as we run up

to the christmas period. this is what dominic murphy, who is the commander in charge of counter terrorist policing, told me earlier . earlier. >> we've seen in the past, haven't we, that events overseas often can lead to radicalisation often can lead to radicalisation of individuals here, and we're very alive to that . and we've very alive to that. and we've seen an increase in prevent referrals and we've seen a particular increase in the amount of online extreme material referred to us. we're now over 2500 reports from the pubuc now over 2500 reports from the public to the counter terrorism internet referral unit, over 500 of those are require more investigation to understand whether there's been a hate crime or a terrorism act offence committed. so, yes , well, in committed. so, yes, well, in recent weeks we've seen terrorist attacks in france and in belgium. >> they've raised their threat level. they haven't done that in the uk. it remains a substantial level, meaning that an attack is likely. tom tugendhat, who is the security minister, was responding to this report this morning. he just reiterate covid this message that people really

need to be extra vigilant in the run up to christmas . well, look , run up to christmas. well, look, the most important thing we do is we stay vigilant and there's a lot of information out there, counter terrorism, police put out information. >> you can go online and find it about staying vigilant, reporting incidents that you may be concerned about and making sure that aware of the sure that you're aware of the issues that are facing us. but i think the most important thing to do as well is to make sure you stay in touch with the police. if you are concerned and the police are doing fantastic the police are doing a fantastic job at the moment. i can. well, no, actually, i can't tell you about our intelligence about what our intelligence services doing, but they're services are doing, but they're doing amazing well doing an amazing job as well in making we're safe. making sure that we're all safe. >> terrible, big problem >> terrible, really big problem for security service for this security service because already got because they've already got what, of potential al what, thousands of potential al tens of thousands , tens of tens of thousands, tens of thousands. they're trying to and they can't keep them all under surveillance all the time, can they? >> yeah, i mean, no one extremists, but non extremists who might never turn to violence . however, when you've got the images and the horrific images

coming out of gaza, that can trigger people, we've seen it before . as dominic murphy has before. as dominic murphy has said . so the real concern is said. so the real concern is potentially that people could be triggered. the difficulty 80 that the police and security services have now compared to what we had in the past, which was multiple people coming together , plotting, hatching together, plotting, hatching a plot, buying ingredients for bombs. now it's just lone wolves, lone, sophisticated person. you just need to get behind the wheel of a vehicle or take a knife out of the kitchen drawer. how do you get into the mindset of an individual trying to second guess who might be a risk is a really difficult job. >> and really the take out for this mark in terms of people watching at home and being frightened by this what just frightened by this is what just be vigilant. >> it's to not be alarmed. you know , people might say, why are know, people might say, why are you putting news like this out? it might be fearmongering. but the police certainly do this at this time of the year because it's a known risk time. there are in the twisted mindset of

the terrorists at this particular time of year has added resonance for them. and not just that there are lots of people out there crowded together, christmas shopping , together, christmas shopping, attending these special festive events. so it's really just about getting that message out to people to be just extra vigilant when they're out. >> okay. super. thank you , mark. >> okay. super. thank you, mark. >> okay. super. thank you, mark. >> that's mark white. now, a new opinion poll shows labour leading in the scottish westminster voting intentions for the first time. this is a poll by redfield and wilton shows labour leading the scottish national party by 2. only the third time labour has led the snp in any westminster voting intention poll publicly since 2014. >> so yeah . >> so yeah. >> so yeah. >> joining us in the studio now is the director of jl partners, the pollster scarlett mccgwire dyen the pollster scarlett mccgwire dyer. were you surprised to see this scarlet out? >> no, i don't think surprised. i had that by—election i mean, we had that by—election in hamilton in rutherford and hamilton in early october, labour took early october, which labour took off with a massive swing off the snp with a massive swing with sort of 20 plus point swing. fact that they've

swing. so the fact that they've now them, now sort of overtaken them, i wouldn't say a surprise. it is significant. have significant. i mean, we have seen getting very close. seen them getting very close. there have been a lot of polls, even if they haven't overtaken them, they've been sort of them, where they've been sort of creeping up right behind the snp. think really the snp. but i think really the writing in writing was on the wall in october that they might be looking on a huge amount looking to put on a huge amount of votes. i mean, bearing in mind they're now in sort of the mid high 30s percentage, they mid to high 30s percentage, they were just one mp in were at 20% with just one mp in 2019. so very good news 2019. so it's all very good news for labour, disastrous for the conservatives because only conservatives because with only one labour one mp last time, if labour regain gets 3040 mps in regain what gets 3040 mps in scotland, going to make scotland, that's going to make a majority keir starmer even majority for keir starmer even more think, more likely. i mean, i think, you the moment you know, at the moment everything quite everything looks quite disastrous the conservatives disastrous for the conservatives , is one of many. i , right? this is one of many. i mean think was quite mean, i think there was quite a lot of wishful thinking going on, over summer. on, especially over the summer. and talking to a and i remember talking to a conservative said, conservative who said, oh, no, it's fine labour is doing it's fine that labour is doing much in scotland because much better in scotland because actually, the snp actually, you know, if the snp do then we might do worse, then we might get a couple scottish seats. now couple more scottish seats. now i that's really, i don't think that's really, really point because what really the point because what happens becomes much happens is it just becomes much easier starmer to easier for keir starmer to become if he can put on 20,

become pm if he can put on 20, maybe mps in scotland and we maybe 30 mps in scotland and we you say nothing's going well for the conservatives they've had the conservatives as they've had so resets . so many resets. >> the tory conference, the king's speech changing the position on 2020, 35, 2030 on net zero. we've had the tax cuts coming in january, but nothing shifted in the polls. >> no, nothing shifted in the polls. if anything, things look like i mean, they look like they've got worse since the summer. i thought maybe that sort of 20 points was the maximum damage we might see when it sort of very static, it was sort of very static, around in the summer. around 15 to 20 in the summer. and now not so and i think and now not so sure. and i think having sat in lot of having sat in quite a lot of focus groups over the last couple weeks, i think the couple of weeks, i think the thing is about these results is not only did they to move not only did they fail to move the in conservative the dial in the conservative favour, you know, favour, not only did you know, bringing david cameron back fail to them a big bounce in the to give them a big bounce in the polls. funny that actually been quite damaging because what the pubuc quite damaging because what the public they see public sees every time they see a a sort of slight a reset is a sort of slight desperate flailing around. and

actually less actually they're now even less certain the conservatives certain of who the conservatives are and what they for. so are and what they stand for. so actually, they're a net negative. >> how much of negative is >> how much of that negative is attributable sunak attributable to rishi sunak himself leader? mean, himself as the leader? i mean, i think that's a good question. >> we've really seen is and >> what we've really seen is and i potentially when he i think potentially when he became know, a became leader, you know, over a year ago now, i think people year ago now, but i think people were maybe overoptimistic about year ago now, but i think people weremuche overoptimistic about year ago now, but i think people weremuch he veroptimistic about year ago now, but i think people weremuch he could imistic about year ago now, but i think people weremuch he could pull:ic about year ago now, but i think people weremuch he could pull outbout year ago now, but i think people weremuch he could pull out the: how much he could pull out the conservative party brand. i mean, just been mean, it was just so it's been so damaged, it's been damaged by the last 13 years, i think especially post partygate. and then i think then liz truss. and i think there again actually a there was again actually quite a lot thinking, lot of wishful thinking, thinking, can pull thinking, well, rishi can pull it back because he is so great. i think what we've now over i think what we've now seen over this maybe someone could this year is maybe someone could pull i doesn't look pull it back. i doesn't look like the problem he like it's him and the problem he has now is that good things has now is that the good things that the public used to see in him, that he was competent, that he make decisions, he could make decisions, ones that of strong. that he was sort of strong. i think actually that of all think actually that sort of all fallen the wayside. and so fallen by the wayside. and so now they see is someone now what they see is someone who's of touch, who's not just out of touch, which a problem, is also which is a problem, but is also weak. i think that's going weak. and i think that's going to be more of an issue where

where that thinking where was that wishful thinking coming mean from within the >> you mean from within the conservative mps themselves? because even because of course even the conservative party members didn't rishi so didn't vote for rishi sunak. so when this wishful when you say this wishful thinking he was going to be thinking that he was going to be a positive influence, who was doing because the british doing that? because the british pubuc doing that? because the british public weren't. doing that? because the british putwell, weren't. doing that? because the british putwell, mean, eren't. in some >> well, i mean, i think in some ways were and they weren't. ways they were and they weren't. so a narrowing of the so we did see a narrowing of the polls in sort of early earlier this year when he sort of negotiated that brexit deal. and i was quite a lot of i think there was quite a lot of hope.i i think there was quite a lot of hope. i think people, you know, there willingness give there was a willingness to give him a good point. do him a chance. a good point. i do just and i actually still just think and i actually still think one thing hasn't think one thing that hasn't necessarily that he necessarily changed is that he remains conservative's best remains the conservative's best hope because hope at the moment because changing leader would be changing another leader would be daft. obvious daft. there's no one obvious waiting wings, was, waiting in the wings, he was, i think, the best hope they think, again, the best hope they had a year ago they got, had a year ago when they got, you 13 ago when had a year ago when they got, you got 13 ago when had a year ago when they got, you got rid; ago when had a year ago when they got, you got rid of ago when had a year ago when they got, you got rid of liz ago when had a year ago when they got, you got rid of liz truss.» when had a year ago when they got, you got rid of liz truss. so 1en they got rid of liz truss. so that's actually unchanged. it's just question is, know, just the question is, you know, can it? it looks like can he do it? and it looks like he probably can't. >> can say would be >> some mps i can say would be shouting television. we shouting at the television. we should have got should we should never have got rid if boris johnson rid of boris if boris johnson had leader. scarlett had stayed as leader. scarlett would any

different? >> well, i think the thing is what have think about is what you have to think about is it's boris. so, you it's post—party boris. so, you know, partygate. boris. yes. know, pre partygate. boris. yes. a electoral a complete electoral force, a divisive figure, someone divisive figure, but someone who could be very popular and actually, was doing actually, you know, was doing this groups recently. this in focus groups recently. you rishi sunak's out of you say rishi sunak's out of touch. about and touch. what about boris? and he said, not of said, oh, no, he's not out of touch tries touch because he tries to understand, so there's understand, you know, so there's not but i think the not that. but i think the problem i, i think the problem was i, i think the damage that partygate did and that headed was the that boris headed up and was the sort face of partygate sort of the face of partygate that come back. that you can't come back. >> no, right. because if >> no, that's right. because if regardless felt on regardless of how you felt on either that either side of that debate, bofis either side of that debate, boris johnson you boris johnson let you down. >> exactly it. >> i think that's exactly it. and it's again, i think and i think it's again, i think it's just hard for the it's just so hard for the conservative around that conservative to get around that sort hypocrisy of setting sort of hypocrisy of setting rules, yeah, yeah. rules, which. yeah, yeah. following and that's following themselves. and that's been everyone following themselves. and that's bee|a everyone following themselves. and that's bee|a story, everyone following themselves. and that's bee|a story, right? everyone following themselves. and that's bee|a story, right? so everyone following themselves. and that's bee|a story, right? so might»ne has a story, right? so it might not be, know, some not even be, you know, some stories are horrific, some stories are less horrific. but, you everyone you know, everyone has things they couldn't do, people they couldn't makes couldn't see. and it just makes it so much yeah. it so much worse. yeah. >> there the perception >> there was also the perception that johnson just wasn't that boris johnson just wasn't telling . telling the truth. >> and was. but i think >> and there was. but i think that in that was partly priced in before. so actually i feel like the public were always quite

clever get quite the public were always quite clgood get quite the public were always quite clgood read get quite the public were always quite clgood read of get quite the public were always quite clgood read of people. get quite the public were always quite clgood read of people. andjuite the public were always quite clgood read of people. and there a good read of people. and there was a sense that boris might fudge it sort of fudge things, but it was sort of for the sake of a greater purpose. and they thought that fundamentally was on his side. they, know, their side, they, you know, on their side, whilst you know, they, you know, on their side, whi telling you know, they, you know, on their side, whi telling the you know, they, you know, on their side, whi telling the truth you know, they, you know, on their side, whi telling the truth completely not telling the truth completely for others and that's gone, i think matt hancock think we've got matt hancock in the today, a very, the covid inquiry today, a very, very controversial figure is the ongoing covid inquiry damaging the tory brand to . yeah, i mean, the tory brand to. yeah, i mean, absolutely. so i think that's another problem. so anything and this i think part of this is actually i think part of the bringing the problem with bringing cameron is that anything cameron back is that anything that ties sunak this that ties rishi sunak to this idea years of conservative idea of 13 years of conservative failure is incredibly damaging. now, might okay, well, now, you might say, okay, well, david didn't but david cameron didn't fail, but actually voters just don't want to reminded prime to be reminded of another prime minister think walked minister who they think walked out . again, actually out in disgrace. again, actually sort whatever whichever side out in disgrace. again, actually so that whatever whichever side out in disgrace. again, actually so that whateidebate :hever side out in disgrace. again, actually so that whatei debate you're side out in disgrace. again, actually so that whateidebate you're one of that brexit debate you're on andifs of that brexit debate you're on and it's reminding them that these have been in for a these people have been in for a very long time that seen very long time that we've seen a lot of different governments from the covid from them. covid the covid inquiry version inquiry is a much worse version of think anything of that, and i think anything that it to that drama and that ties it to that drama and psychodrama sort you psychodrama and sort of, you know, tortuous stuff is just

it's just damaging. it's just really damaging. >> scarlett >> the brilliant scarlett mccgwire there. i could listen to you all day, scarlett , but to you all day, scarlett, but unfortunately we have to listen to it. to matt hancock for some of it. and also we're going to be talking to stanley johnson, father of boris johnson. we want to hear his thoughts on the former secretary facing former health secretary facing the today . and let us the inquiry today. and let us know your thoughts morning. know your thoughts this morning. vaiews@gbnews.com. the emails are take are coming in while we take a quick we will have look quick break. we will have a look at them. britain's at them. this is britain's newsroom on news, the newsroom on gb news, the people's newsroom on gb news, the peoa e's newsroom on gb news, the peoa brighter outlook with box >> a brighter outlook with box solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> good morning. welcome to your latest gb news weather update from the met office. it's going to be another chilly feeling day out there today. there will be some dry weather around again, but some further snow and sleet showers. we've got snow and ice warnings in force this morning across northern ireland. the south coast, as well as the north—east all the way through until lunchtime. snow showers could some icy stretches, could bring some icy stretches, could bring some icy stretches, could see some snow accumulating

johnson is here. but first of all, i want to ask you about this tweet our viewer, this tweet from our viewer, edwin, only way edwin, who says, the only way the save the conservatives can save themselves is to make nigel farage leader. he's right, farage the leader. he's right, isn't say i think this >> well, i say i think in this in this studio not so long ago that the conservatives that actually the conservatives ought open their arms to ought to open their arms to nigel farage instead of taking a stand off the attitude , because stand off the attitude, because i think we cannot afford to have a man of that talent, not in our camp at the next election . camp at the next election. that's fascinating. now, as for the leader question that is above my pay grade , but i think above my pay grade, but i think we definitely need him as part of the troops. >> well, why wouldn't rishi sunak you? he sunak agree with you? i mean, he can almost can't even bring can almost he can't even bring himself in himself to say his name in public. things public. he says things like nigel's doesn't he? nigel's lot, doesn't he? >> don't to use up my >> i don't want to use up my climate time talking about nigel farage. on. farage. go on. >> not started on the >> we've not started on the jungle come we're jungle yet, but come on, we're interested to know what you think, interested to know what you thiri, interested to know what you thiri think we need him. i think >> i think we need him. i think we're to have him. by the we're going to have him. by the way, think so . way, do you? yeah, i think so. and i think that he is going to help. as you were , save quite

help. as you were, save quite a lot of what we might call the red wall. the red wall. >> will you have him before the next election? hope so. next election? i would hope so. >> interesting. >> really interesting. >> really interesting. >> well, stanley, have you got insight, or is insight, intelligence, or is this just your. >> watching him in this just your. >> jungle, watching him in this just your. >> jungle, as watching him in this just your. >> jungle, as you vatching him in this just your. >> jungle, as you can1ing him in this just your. >> jungle, as you can imagine,in the jungle, as you can imagine, i quite interest. i have quite an interest. >> interest? yeah. >> vested interest? yeah. >> vested interest? yeah. >> been yourself, >> having been there yourself, tell 28. tell us about cop 28. >> just an expensive >> is it just an expensive talking stanley you're a talking shop? stanley you're a committed environmentalist . committed environmentalist. >> yeah, i am an admitted environmentalist . i've been environmentalist. i've been doing quite long doing this for quite a long time. since actually, 19 1964, i think when i even longer than the prince. >> than the king. well i'll by the way, the king is opening the session. >> i think it's tomorrow. and thatis >> i think it's tomorrow. and that is very, very good news. by the way, your your intro, it said future climate change. well, it's not a future climate change. it's climate change. is it a load of nonsense? no, it's absolutely not a load of nonsense. go back glasgow . nonsense. go back to glasgow. glasgow up with some good glasgow came up with some good things. i'm talking about cop26 in . in december 2021. it in glasgow. in december 2021. it came up with some good things because actually it managed to get the global net zero by 2050,

adopted as a target. no targets are one thing, getting there is another and that's what this cop is about. getting there. and i think there is a huge, huge way still to go. but there are some really promising signs, i think i might have mentioned also here that i've spent quite a lot of time recently china and one time recently in china and one of the extraordinary developments which we're going to see, i think taken note of in cop is the progress of renewable energy around the world. in china, we are in the process of putting in when i say we, i mean they you know, a huge, huge, you know , fleets and fleets of solar panels. >> but but at the same time, they're opening more and more coal mines. >> well, let's be clear about this. china has a has has a policy of producing energy from from coal. that is where some of its energy comes from. some of its energy comes from. some of it comes from imports, some of it comes from imports, some of it now comes from increasingly from wind power and solar power. but what you're going to find, i think, even some of these

think, is even some of these coal plants are being coal plants which are being opened be on opened will actually be on standby. you see what mean ? standby. do you see what i mean? if you're running a system of renewables, to have if you're running a system of renestandby. to have if you're running a system of renestandby. so to have if you're running a system of renestandby. so china to have if you're running a system of renestandby. so china has have if you're running a system of renestandby. so china has said the standby. so china has said its emissions are going to peak officially. it said they're going to peak by 2030. in practice, it looks as though and people are talking about that in dubai now, they're going to peak earlier this thing going to earlier this thing are going to make huge difference to make a huge, huge difference to the attitude. i think the general attitude. i think we're in cop we're going to see also in cop a kind of a consensus of agreeing to triple year renewable renewable energy. and that, of course, is going to take the pressure off the oil and the and the gas and the others because more and more , the more and more more and more, the more and more you get from your renewable energy sources, that has a price effect on coal and gas. >> and it also has a price effect on our viewers and listeners. because listeners. stanley because it's expensive are expensive if people are struggling not sure struggling already, i'm not sure if more expensive. if it's more expensive. >> i what going to >> i think what we're going to find energy find is that renewable energy will the cost of energy will undercut the cost of energy from traditional greenhouse gas producing sources , fossil fuel.

producing sources, fossil fuel. and the other thing, of course, big challenge. and of course, it's interesting that it's in dubal it's interesting that it's in dubai. this is will they deliver in dubai , the thing which they in dubai, the thing which they were nudging towards in glasgow , were nudging towards in glasgow, which was calling for a phase out of fossil fuels. now what you got in glasgow was a phase out on coal. what they're trying to get in in dubai is an agreement, a world agreement to phase out in a timetable. a timetable to be determined fossil fuels. it has to come. whether it will come in in dubai is another matter . are you are is another matter. are you are you comfortable with it being held in dubai ? held in dubai? >> i mean, i remember being in dubaion >> i mean, i remember being in dubai on holiday and it was 50 degrees outside stanley and there was an indoor snow , no ski there was an indoor snow, no ski slope which was being generated. clearly not by solar power like they have complete disre guard it seems to how much power they use. they generate , they're use. they generate, they're building, they take swathes of

land out of the ocean in terms of even just an environmental perspective, not necessarily climate change, but on their environmental record, their diet follicle. >> well, you've got two different aspects to cover here. first, you've got to have the uae's own domestic environmental climate change policy. b, you've got to deal with how are they managing this exercise of being present of cop? i think it's going to work. the cop kind of rotates around the world. i think we've had like 40, 40 cop since since it started. we've had already one in the in that region . they will realise that region. they will realise that they have realised that they are part of the problem, that they're also part of the solution and bear in mind that they are in that blessed part of they are in that blessed part of the world where the sun shines and we are going to find i'm repeating myself here that actually the renewable part of the even uae energy production is going to increase more and

more. i'm talking terawatts here. yeah well, we'll see what comes out of cop. >> anyway, we're keeping a very cynical eye on it, aren't we? you are. >> we got to ask you about matt hancock today giving evidence covid . it's very covid inquiry. it's very significant. was part of the significant. he was part of the quad sacked from the resigned from the cabinet for breaking his own lockdown rules . what do his own lockdown rules. what do you what should they be asking him today, stanley? well it's funny you should ask about matt hancock . hancock. >> i was one of the few people, everything goes back to the jungle, doesn't it? was one of jungle, doesn't it? i was one of the few people actually said the few people who actually said he in the he did pretty well in the jungle. know, being jungle. yeah. you know, being a pretty , i thought he pretty minority, i thought he was fantastic jungle. now was fantastic in the jungle. now on covid. i'm very, on on on the covid. i'm very, very by the way this very struck by the way this inquiry. i don't mean to sort of throw , you know, nasturtiums throw, you know, nasturtiums anywhere, but why isn't this inquiry actually concentrating on the main issue, which is were we or weren't we? right. yes yes, quite. that has to be the only thing we're really interested in this. we're not the minutiae. who said .

the minutiae. who said. >> absolutely right, stanley , do >> absolutely right, stanley, do you think your son agrees with you think your son agrees with you ? you? >>i you? >> i think he probably does . i >> i think he probably does. i think he will. he will, as it were, defend, but not me. i think he'll probably defend it here a gb news as well. he'll here as a gb news as well. he'll be in next week. >> i'd love to ask him. >> i'd love to ask him. >> i'd love to ask him. >> i think. well, i very much hope so. the answer is, if i were boris, which i'm obviously not, i would say i'm perfectly ready to have the inquiry. look at the decisions i took vis a vis lockdown. now, in retrospect, i think boris should also accept that actually maybe we all rush to lockdown too quickly . quickly. >> yes. yes. and yet every question at this covid inquiry seems to be predicated on the nofion seems to be predicated on the notion why didn't you lock down sooner? why didn't you close the borders ? why didn't you do more borders? why didn't you do more faster, sooner? and at the time, let's remember the labour party were for that. the were also calling for that. the pressure immense. were also calling for that. the pre i;ure immense. were also calling for that. the prei know immense. were also calling for that. the prei know. immense. were also calling for that. the pre i know . and nense. were also calling for that. the pre i know . and thate. were also calling for that. the pre i know . and that of course, >> i know. and that of course, is the other, quote unquote, the fault of a political democratic system. when you have, as it were, public opinion , as it

were, public opinion, as it were, public opinion, as it were, influencing what is a completely complicated and difficult decisions. you can skew those those decisions . skew those those decisions. that's what i hope. >> but doesn't that democracy also rely on a very strong leader? and i think what we saw from some of the messages and the whatsapps is that your son, bofis the whatsapps is that your son, boris johnson, quite clearly knew this was an overreaction. but for some reason didn't have the mettle, the fortitude to stand up for what he believed in as a libertarian thinker. well, at a crucial three weeks, as i remember , i think it was the remember, i think it was the three weeks in march, march, april, wasn't it? >> yes. actually incapacitate by by covm >> yes. actually incapacitate by by covid in himself coming to the i think it was the november lockdown probably correct? >> yeah . the october november >> yeah. the october november which is perhaps more more questionable . questionable. >> well, i think they they it's all you people . all you people all you people. all you people in the newspapers and on the television. you keep on talking about loved ones, you know, loved ones . yes. i mean, yes, of loved ones. yes. i mean, yes, of course. loved ones. i had some

sympathy with with the thought that why years ago i used to work for the world bank and we had something we had way of had something we had a way of estimating effect of health, estimating the effect of health, health, health measures. and basically, you did said, basically, you did you said, does this health measure increase expectancy ? who is increase life expectancy? who is it impact ? there are some hard it impact? there are some hard economic calculation. i think they probably weren't weren't made no economic test done from what we know. >> and that rishi sunak when he gives evidence down, he's got to have to pressed on that. why have to be pressed on that. why didn't insist it? have to be pressed on that. why did they insist it? have to be pressed on that. why did they should it? have to be pressed on that. why did they should have been some, >> they should have been some, but but >> they should have been some, butbut i think there was if you >> but i think there was if you remember, was a cost remember, there was a cost benefit done. we've benefit analysis done. we've never seen it. >> seen it. >> we've never seen it. >> we've never seen it. >> no. and people don't like the idea that measure the idea that you can measure the value now, my value of human life. now, for my money, save the life of money, we can save the life of a baby, which has a whole 48 years or six years ahead of it. it's actually worth somewhat more than of an old person than the life of an old person as old as me. for heaven's sake. it's irrelevant it's completely irrelevant if i snuff snuff things tomorrow . snuff snuff things out tomorrow. >> but it was it was considered to be such a kind of heretical thing to say. like you couldn't say that 2020 the phrase i heard

all the time is you can't say that. i know you can't say that. when i questioned having schools stay open, i'm the sake of children . children. >> yeah. and hancock was i mean they were some of the officials were saying the politicians were trying to decide who should live and die. and who should die. >> well, hancock's hour i'm >> well, hancock's half hour i'm sorry of fame will come and we'll see what he says. >> yeah . we must ask you one >> yeah. we must ask you one last question on the jungle. are you going to vote for anybody in the jungle? stanley, you were in the jungle? stanley, you were in the going to vote him to >> he's going to vote for him to be conservative leader by all accounts, because i've i've downloaded time downloaded the app first time so i vote nigel to stay in i can vote for nigel to stay in the jungle. >> he's hanging in there. the jungle. >think he's hanging in there. the jungle. >think , he's hanging in there. the jungle. >think , asz's hanging in there. the jungle. >think , as is hanging in there. the jungle. >think , as i recall,ng in there. the jungle. >think , as i recall, he in there. the jungle. >think , as i recall, he i| there. the jungle. >think , as i recall, he i thinke. i think, as i recall, he i think he actually came out of it early. his loss, his last challenge , i think he did. he challenge, i think he did. he said last night he couldn't do the challenge , you know? the challenge, you know? >> i mean, because he smokes, too much. >> my thoughts to you don't say i'm a celebrity. get me out of here. i thought that got you off the show. totally >> i thought so, too. yes. i'm

signs are there. if that if the wind dies the air stream wind dies to the air stream comes that direction, we're comes from that direction, we're in what in it. and actually what happened thrust happened was the main thrust this week went through europe. you might seen pictures of you might have seen pictures of bulgaria and other places in six foot snow. we're as ever foot of snow. and we're as ever on the periphery floating out into the atlantic ocean. and that's a basically be the reason why got the cold side as why we've got the cold side as opposed much of the snow. opposed to too much of the snow. there is snow around those people out there showing pictures now , especially in the pictures now, especially in the north—east, scotland. grampian area. there's a little bit to the south of the m4. this morning. yes, there is . and even morning. yes, there is. and even to the south of london, just a little bits and pieces. it awakens peoples up. i don't know what it is about snow. it's one of those when it happens for the first time, it's a delight, isn't most people. about isn't it, for most people. about ten , it's quite the ten days into it, it's quite the opposite. yeah it really is. so, look, this is this is november the winds that starts the 30th. winds that starts tomorrow. i think we've got another another 4 or 5 days of freezing temperatures, more or less at and little bits and

pieces of snow to add to that, is it? >> i don't see any ice. i haven't skidded on the ice. i mean, this morning on the car, i was i mean, i am ijust wrong. we used to have much colder winters. yeah we did. >> right. okay. so when i went to school, maybe when you went to school, maybe when you went to school, maybe when you went to school, we're in the same area. the same area, area. we're from the same area, aren't we? give or take. yeah. i used to be. i remember distinctly. so area was distinctly. so my area was oldham royton area of oldham. i used to go the school. we used to go to the school. we used to go to the school. we used to go to the school. we used to get dragged back the used to get dragged back by the teachers, all the yarns, because because and all because of the blizzards and all this i'm joking. this stuff. and i'm not joking. that used to be at that time, 60s and 70s, 70s particularly used to be. yeah. you used to, it used to dig in probably november time around there early november time around there early november . i november time around there early november. i never had a bonfire without the frost being around all the rain. but generally speaking the frost now i think what's happened is, is, is the climate is changing and it's just things slightly in. just moved things slightly in. in other words, november is less inclined and to be cold and frosty and snowy and so it's

just nudged it a bit like october. exactly. the same. october. exactly. the same. october was extremely record warmth. >> is it too early to say whether we're going to have snow at christmas? >> jim yeah, it is. i can give you some clues. go on then. okay. so where are we going at the moment? we're in this and then we come out of it next week, middle of next week, it'll be all gone. we'll be in mild conditions he says with conditions again, he says with with right. you want that . with rain. right. you want that. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> do don't want old people slipping on the ice. i think people the rain people prefer this to the rain and then we're going to be a bit mixed and maybe little bit mixed and maybe a little bit stormy at times. >> and then on the into >> and then on the run into christmas, it kind of is threatening again, to threatening to change again, to according models we according the models that we look is where we get look at, this is where we get our information from the eye. but you've always got to put a bit of human in there and sort of work it all out and work out exactly what's going to go on on christmas but we're too christmas day. but we're too far away, be certain. i've away, to be certain. but i've got a job on christmas day and before i count the before job, so i count the snowflakes lack them for snowflakes on lack of them for the bookmakers , but not all of

the bookmakers, but not all of them. some of them i can mention one. there's big bet. one. so there's a big bet. three, six, five. and what we do there is. so from tomorrow i'll be forecasting virtually the meteorological odds for snow in cities across the cities , cities across the cities, airports across the uk and europe and america and this year there's going to be premiership matches. you can bet on the premiership matches in and around. >> how do you how do you count your snowflakes? >> fascinated. well, one. >> e— >> no, you don't. >> no, you don't. >> i don't. what do you do >> no, i don't. what do you do right. what i do. okay. so it starts with at the starts with with the guys at the airport observers and they airport who observers and they will on hour, 20 to will go out on the hour, 20 to the looking up at the sky. the hour looking up at the sky. hope looking you hope they're looking up. you know, the window before know, through the window before then that because it then and after that because it takes one flake. remember there and record . now, we also and they record. now, we also look at radar and we'll also look at radar and we'll also look at radar and we'll also look at social media as well, not people who throw funny not the people who throw funny snow. they're sending it snow, if you see what i'm saying. we're not into so it is we're not into that. so it is done.i we're not into that. so it is done. i think it's 99% surety. so on christmas day, if it's a green christmas, i can just put

my feet up and i can be i can be really i think the bookmakers will happy well to will be happy as well to you. that's the way but that's the way it goes. but if there's around any shape there's snow around in any shape or the northern or form, obviously the northern cities, edinburgh, glasgow, particularly in belfast, they tend to the favourites . yeah, tend to be the favourites. yeah, it's a different kettle of fish . it's a different kettle of fish. i've got to be on, i've got to be on my map. i might even be on air it. is it worth air reporting it. so is it worth us putting a bet on then? >> jim do you think of having a white christmas? >> tomorrow when all >> you mean tomorrow when it all starts? >> you mean tomorrow when it all sta|can you give me a bit of >> can you give me a bit of inside information? >> would my money in my >> i would keep my money in my pocket. you know what >> i would keep my money in my poc do? you know what >> i would keep my money in my poc do? send'ou know what >> i would keep my money in my poc do? send'ou ka)w what >> i would keep my money in my poc do? send'ou ka text hat i'll do? i'll send you a text and say, get on it. beth, and i'll say, get on it. beth, come on. yeah. >> would you? excellent. is that called trading called insider trading or something? trouble something? i would be in trouble for can't put a bet for that. can't put a bet on now. we've ruined oh, yeah. now. we've ruined it. oh, yeah. >> come are >> still to come are overwhelmingly white. >> a bbc five live >> that's how a bbc five live presenter described his work, the the bbc. presenter described his work, the see the bbc. presenter described his work, the see and the bbc. presenter described his work, the see and much the bbc. presenter described his work, the see and much ,the bbc. presenter described his work, the see and much , much c. presenter described his work, the see and much , much more >> see that? and much, much more after news with after your morning's news with tatiana . beth. tatiana. beth. >> thank you. it's 1032. tatiana. beth. >> thank you. it's1032. this is

that i knew had dewbs& co week nights from . nights from. six 1039 you're with britain's newsroom on gb news with andrew pierce and bev turner joined in the studio by turnerjoined in the studio by the political editor daily express, lister, and express, sam lister, and broadcasting malone. >> so guys, we want to we want to start with this royal story, don't we, amidst obe? oh, no, we're not. apparently we're we're not. apparently we're we're not. apparently we're

we're not a terror attack in the uk linked to the conflict in gazais uk linked to the conflict in gaza is only a matter of time. sources have told gb news as comes as counter—terror. >> police warn the public be >> police warn the public to be extra the run up to extra vigilant in the run up to christmas. gb news security christmas. gb news home security head given access head mark white was given access to counter—terrorism patrols in central london on patrol with a counter terror team in central london. >> these officers are from operation servator , a mix of operation servator, a mix of uniformed and covert plainclothes teams. >> we've got a lot of plainclothes officers working the area. they just keep people safe. on the build to safe. on the build up to christmas. so if you see anyone staring and as as staring at you and as well as engaging with the public, these patrols are the lookout for patrols are on the lookout for anything or anything anything suspicious or anything out ordinary , especially out of the ordinary, especially over the busy festive period . over the busy festive period. >> george, gather at christmas . >> george, gather at christmas. >> george, gather at christmas. >> both our families, we go shopping . we visit events like shopping. we visit events like winter wonderland . we got busy, winter wonderland. we got busy, one of the busiest shopping streets in europe behind us obviously draws a lot of people in. and we ask members of the pubuc

in. and we ask members of the public as they're shopping in these areas, enjoying themselves as they should be, remain as they should be, they remain vigilant as they should be, they remain vigithere is understandable >> there is understandable concern that the war in gaza could be the catalyst for terror attacks here in the uk . in attacks here in the uk. in recent weeks , the alert levels recent weeks, the alert levels in france and belgium have been raised after a separate terror attacks in those countries . attacks in those countries. these british transport police officers have also increased their counter—terror patrols in their counter—terror patrols in the run up to christmas . the run up to christmas. although the uk terror threat level has not yet been raised, counter—terror police have seen a 700% increase in calls to the anti—terror hotline since the start of the israel—hamas conflict . conflict. >> we've seen in the past events overseas as often can lead to radicalisation of individuals here, and we're very alive to that and we've seen an increase in prevent referrals and we've seen a particular increase in the amount of online extreme material referred to us. we're

now over 2500 reports from the pubuc now over 2500 reports from the public to the counter terrorism internet referral unit, over 500 of those require more investigation to understand whether there's been a hate crime or a terrorism act offence committed and the festive period not only has added symbolism in the twisted logic of terrorists, it is also a time when people are much more likely to gather in larger crowds attending special events or christmas shopping . and lone wolf attacks , shopping. and lone wolf attacks, or those of lower sophistication can be just as deadly and require little in the way of planning as well. >> sadly, it may only be a matter of time before we have a terrorist incident within the uk. we've seen them across europe. and of course with the tension in the middle east, that's something that really could cause problems within the uk as well. people are getting radicalised, there's no doubt about that. the police have been informed that people are

becoming they don't becoming radicalised. they don't need in order to get need training in order to get into car use a knife. so into a car or use a knife. so it's a real concern for policing across the uk. >> police and security >> the police and security services closely monitoring services are closely monitoring known extremists , but whether known extremists, but whether they're known or unknown, the longer the war in gaza rumbles on the greater the risk that the radicalised could turn to violence . mark white . gb news violence. mark white. gb news thank you, mark. >> so carole malone and sam lister are here with us. we're delighted to say and let's talk about this omid scobie book. sam do we have to we have to. >> no, we do . >> no, we do. >> no, we do. >> so yesterday it was revealed that a dutch version of the book names the people who are accused of saying racist things . and of saying racist things. and it's all kind of blown up into a bit of a mess. there was a presenter on british tv named who these accused are. what do you of it? i mean, where do you make of it? i mean, where do we go with this story now? >> it sounds like, well , cock up

>> it sounds like, well, cock up rather than conspiracy. i would say. but the dutch publisher is a small operation . it's a small operation. it's apparently he's been given a draft . it hasn't taken out the draft. it hasn't taken out the name seems it seems like everybody else in the world who's published it was given legal advice . withdraw these legal advice. withdraw these names. the dutch publisher didn't seem to get the memo . didn't seem to get the memo. he's ahead and published it he's gone ahead and published it and pulp all and is now having to pulp all these but obviously the these books. but obviously the british have the british press have taken the view right to name view that it's not right to name the involved because the people involved because they've not been the right the people involved because th

any version of the book. >> how did he get it? so my question is, how on earth is he suggesting the publishers put it in? there? is he suggesting a translator there? translator put it in there? because which is abject because all of which is abject nonsense. they didn't. nonsense. of course they didn't. and pretty sure he wanted and i'm pretty sure he wanted them out. i'm sure them out. and i'm pretty sure meghan harry wanted them meghan and harry wanted them out as know, thing as well. you know, the thing about is it's become, about this book is it's become, you know, nothing in you know, there's nothing new in this nothing this book. there's nothing revelatory. there's nothing that we already it we didn't already know. all it is , a tome. it's is, it's a spite tome. it's something that because meghan and harry are a laughing stock in the states currently because of constant whinging of their constant whinging and moaning, can't write the moaning, they can't write the book there's book quite right. and so there's another written that another book being written that airs same old moans airs all their same old moans again. and interesting again. and it is interesting that is full of that the book is full of everything. pet peeves. everything. their pet peeves. i think jan moir refers to it in the mail today as harry and meghan's pet peeves. it's interesting. it's all the same things regurgitated. and this this is a horrible little this bloke is a horrible little lickspittle peak of a man who he wonders why he's not taken seriously . he says he's seriously. he says he's struggling to be taken seriously. well because nobody does seriously. does take him seriously.

that we've taken. and i'm proud of approach. i think that's of that approach. i think that's the think the right thing. and i think that it's supported by that actually it's supported by the the british public. >> so rishi sunak , they're >> so rishi sunak, they're talking this morning in a hospital with lots of empty beds. yeah that's quite an unusual sight, isn't it? did they not think this stuff through? who set that up? why have you got empty beds behind you got million you when you've got an 8 million people waiting list? >> anyway >> i know. exactly. anyway that's very nicely said. he's done well and they've reached a manifesto target. >> 50,000 extra nurses. hurrah awesome. right sources have told tv news a terror attack in the uk linked to the gaza conflict is only a matter of time. >> okay, this comes at a time where, of course, the anti—terror hotline have risen 700% since the war in the middle east started last month. 700% since the war in the middle easourirted last month. 700% since the war in the middle easour homeast month. 700% since the war in the middle easour home securityh. 700% since the war in the middle easour home security editor matt >> our home security editor matt white the studio. white joins us in the studio. mark, pretty worrying. mark, this is pretty worrying. yeah i mean, is very yeah i mean, it is very depressing, but sadly, is depressing, but sadly, that is the we're on. the trajectory we're on. >> we've already seen attacks in recent weeks in france and in belgium today, in jerusalem, a

shooting attack . there was two shooting attack. there was two attacks in jerusalem when i was there. and we know that these conflicts overseas and events overseas can often trigger those who advised in this country to enact their radical beliefs in a violent way . this is what violent way. this is what dominic murphy from counter terrorism command told us about the threat environment at the moment that we've seen in the past, haven't we, that events overseas often can lead to radicalisation of individuals here and we're very alive to that. >> and we've seen an increase in prevent referrals and we've seen a particular increase in the amount of online extreme material referred to us. we're now over 2500 reports from the pubuc now over 2500 reports from the public to the counter terrorism internet referral unit. over 500 of those are require more investigation to understand whether there's been a hate crime or a terrorism act offence committed . committed. >> yes, well, we are entering that period. of course , where in that period. of course, where in the twisted logic of these

terrorists , it can be seen as, terrorists, it can be seen as, you know , an added value target you know, an added value target time of year. and you've also got lots of people crowded in christmas shopping, attending events and the like. tom tugendhat , the security tugendhat, the security minister, said that really the pubuc minister, said that really the public should exercise extra caution at this time of year. >> well, look, the most important thing we do is we stay vigilant and there's a lot of information out there. counter terrorism. police put out information. you can go online and find it about staying vigilant , and find it about staying vigilant, reporting incidents that you may be concerned about and making sure that you're aware of the issues that are facing us. but i think the most important thing to do as well is to make sure you stay in touch with the police. if you are concerned. and the police are doing a fantastic job at the moment, well, no, moment, i can well, no, actually, tell you about moment, i can well, no, actuaour tell you about moment, i can well, no, actuaour intelligence ou about moment, i can well, no, actuaour intelligence services: what our intelligence services are doing, but they're an are doing, but they're doing an amazing making amazing job as well in making sure safe. sure that we're all safe. >> course, what he's >> and of course, what he's alluding is fact alluding to there is the fact that they are constantly

disrupting plots we never get to hear about because they are successful . all some we do if successful. all some we do if they get enough evidence to put before the courts. but what they're doing at the moment is, of course, monitoring these known extremists as best they can. they always have to make a choice as to who gets devoted more in the way of time . and it more in the way of time. and it can be difficult because we know that the way in which terrorist attacks have evolved in recent years is to be less sophisticated . and you don't sophisticated. and you don't have groups of people plotting together, buying ingredients for bombs in the way that we used to. so those lone individuals who can just get behind the wheel of a car or go and grab a knife and carry out an attack are much more difficult to sort of track and keep an eye on trying to get into the mindset of who might be willing to go off and do that is very difficult . difficult. >> okay. >> okay. >> all right. thank you, mark. so joining us now is former head of counterterrorism at the mod, major general chip chapman . major general chip chapman. chip, see you,

chip, always good to see you, particularly when we've got these interesting , you these sorts of interesting, you know, topics that we have to think and think for me, think about. and i think for me, maybe out people maybe the take out for people from is just to live our from this is just to live our lives, don't feel so scared lives, to don't feel so scared that we don't go christmas shopping to visit our shopping and go to visit our relatives and do all the nice things at this time of the year. but maybe just to remain a bit more vigilant. >> actually look at >> yeah, if you actually look at this, is really fifth this, this is really the fifth year a sort of year when we've had a sort of vigilance message from the police. last police. so if you look at last christmas that was linked to both crowded places the both crowded places and the fact that the world cup was on the threat level was the same as it is at moment, that is is at the moment, that is substantial. the number of reports were leading to investigation, the same as the figures that you related just now. that was within five. so no more hate crime there . there's more hate crime there. there's more hate crime there. there's more extremism. but that doesn't necessarily mean there's a lot more terrorism. one doesn't translate into the other. the hate crime, of course, we see with both the rise in anti—semitism and in the anti—muslim feeling, the extremism we see with the number

of referrals to the internet referral unit. and in those prevent figures, which is to stop people being radicalised and on a path potentially to terrorism . finally, we see that terrorism. finally, we see that in the number of referrals to the anti—terrorist hotline that can lead to investigations . it can lead to investigations. it doesn't mean have to be terrorist attacks. so stay vigilant . if terrorist attacks. so stay vigilant. if you think something is wrong, then act action, counter terrorism. go to the gov.uk, act helpline or phone . gov.uk, act helpline or phone. 807 893, two, one. >> and the conflict in the middle east, chip. that clearly is exercising many many people. but it's worrying isn't it that that will could be now the excuse that some sick people living here may use to try to carry out some form of atrocity ? carry out some form of atrocity? >> i think the worrying thing is we often have what we call flaring in political . they lead

flaring in political. they lead to spike , then generally tail to spike, then generally tail off. the problem we've got at the moment is it's not tailing off because generally the conflicts in the middle east have been 2 or 3 weeks duration. this is a lot longer than that . this is a lot longer than that. >> and we've we've got a ceasefire. the extension of the ceasefire. the extension of the ceasefire chip . but we that is ceasefire chip. but we that is just going to be temporary, isn't it ? i mean, we shouldn't isn't it? i mean, we shouldn't even call it a ceasefire. it's a cessation of hostilities or a pause because israel is determined to try to eradicate hamas and hamas is not interested in a ceasefire either i >> -- >> yeah, i exam >> yeah, i think that's right. the spectrum we look at is truce on the left. and this is a truce purpose, exchanging hostages through to a ceasefire, an armistice , and then sort of armistice, and then sort of conflict resolution and some peace settlement. i think you have to go back to netanyahu's opening statements. when the 7th of october occurred about we are at war, not in an operation in or around. and there are certain

objectives which they want to achieve, which include destroying the military capability of hamas and making sure that they can never, never again govern in gaza . they're a again govern in gaza. they're a long way from doing that. so once this round of hostage exchange or exchange of prisoners is over, then they will go back to those military objectives . objectives. >> okay. thank you, chip . chip >> okay. thank you, chip. chip chapman, there . chapman, there. >> of course, the worry is while dunng >> of course, the worry is while during this the cease the truce that hamas are regrouping. >> yeah , absolutely. >> yeah, absolutely. >> yeah, absolutely. >> all right. let us know your thoughts this morning, gbviews@gbnews.com. just as we've talked about the weather earlier, the severe weather emergency protocol has been activated and probably activated in london and probably other is because other cities, which is because temperatures fallen below other cities, which is because temper.degrees fallen below other cities, which is because temper.degrees centigrade. alow nought degrees centigrade. >> so people are going to be >> so now people are going to be got streets. got off the streets. the homeless , which a good thing. homeless, which is a good thing. >> don't like >> good thing. i don't like these emergency panic situations yet. , yellow snow yet. yellow warning, yellow snow is always something else i was told to be frightened of, but for completely different reasons. but understand if for completely different reasifis. but understand if for completely different reasif theiut understand if for completely different reasif the mayorsierstand if for completely different reasif the mayors of stand if for completely different reasif the mayors of these if for completely different reasif the mayors of these of if

that i knew had dewbs& co week nights from . six very good nights from. six very good morning to nine. >> it is well done. you only say 1039 at this time of the day. he's catching on. >> i don't want it to end, particularly when i know karen malone's in the studio . malone's in the studio. >> right. you've been getting in

touch at home. we've got the covid inquiry going on. we said we'd bring anything we'd bring you anything interesting that matt hancock we'd bring you anything interewell, that matt hancock we'd bring you anything interewell, turns viatt hancock we'd bring you anything interewell, turns out hancock we'd bring you anything interewell, turns out 1139 cock we'd bring you anything interewell, turns out 1139 hek said. well, turns out 1139 he hasn't said anything interesting by i'm sure that when we by now. so i'm sure that when we do, the right do, we won't even ask the right questions. aren't asking questions. they aren't asking the right questions. my understanding is understanding from my sources is that is still that every question is still being on the idea. being predicated on the idea. why down why didn't you lock down earlier? why didn't lock earlier? why didn't you lock down , more people? that's down harder, more people? that's the basis of the questioning at the basis of the questioning at the moment. so frankly, we're not bringing that because, not bringing you that because, you he's you know, the answers. he's going to say, too, going to he's going to say, too, that was so difficult that it was so difficult for him, wasn't it? it was so difficult. full expensing oh, right. difficult. full expensing oh, rigithere's a big tonight >> there's a big debate tonight in republican party . we're in the republican party. we're going greg swenson going to talk to greg swenson from republicans greg, from republicans abroad. greg, who's who's fighting who tonight ? >> 7- >> it's ? >> it's morning sam 7 >> it's morning . thanks for >> it's morning. thanks for having me. andrew and bev. tonight is the debate between governor ron desantis of florida and governor gavin newsom from california . and it's interesting california. and it's interesting because neither one are the candidates or leading candidates

for the nomination . but by many, for the nomination. but by many, it's viewed as , you know, the it's viewed as, you know, the future of the two major parties in america . you know, you've got in america. you know, you've got two very old, to say the least, candidates in the democratic party . it's joe candidates in the democratic party. it'sjoe biden. candidates in the democratic party. it's joe biden. and for the republicans, the leading candidate, at least now is donald trump, both in their late 70s and early 80s. so you know, this is a chance to see the future of both parties. and it should be really fascinating to watch what gavin newsom like. >> greg, what can we kind of associate him with as well? >> i mean, he's he's very personable, very gifted politician. but what we can associate him with is the absolute failure of his policies in california and contrasting with the very successful policies and successful outcomes for governor desantis in florida . and it's not just 1 or 2 issues like with lockdowns is the fact that california lockdown aggressively similar to

the uk , whereas florida really the uk, whereas florida really stayed open and free much like sweden. so, you know, that was just one issue. but if you look at the economy, population growth, job growth, unemployment levels , you name it, just about levels, you name it, just about every metric florida is, is clearly outpacing california . clearly outpacing california. >> and greg, we've got while we've got you must ask you about henry kissinger. he's died at 100. a long life, well lived nobel prize winner. how significant a figure was he in foreign policy in the united states? >> absolutely huge. i mean, he really was at the forefront of every major geopolitical issue in the in the 20th century. we're at the very least the second half of the 20th century or the cold war. so he really had an outsized influence. he was the only the only secretary of state to be national security, white house national security, white house national security adviser. at the same time. so he really had much more influence in the nixon administration than than any other secretary of state in

their respective administrations . so he was really viewed almost as the main statesman for the united states, as opposed to the typical scenario where the president is viewed as the main statesman . so he really had an statesman. so he really had an outsized influence on foreign policy for the us . policy for the us. >> okay. thank you, greg. greg swenson there. and that debate will be on tv tonight. desantis versus gavin newsom in america. >> so the panel is back . >> so the panel is back. >> so the panel is back. >> hello. >> hello. >> hello. >> and sam. mr sam, you've got a good story on your front page. triple lock. >> what's this? a lock? yeah. it's only a week since daily it's only a week since the daily express. six offered a full payment for state pension payment for the state pension increase. 8.5% next year. but already the triple lock is back under threat. it's only a week since the chancellor agreed to honour that commitment. it now we've got this international organisation of economist based in paris, the oecd . they are in paris, the oecd. they are saying that the uk should scrap the triple lock and use the money to pay for green policies to meet net zero targets. what's exactly, exactly. and certainly

from the campaigners i've spoken to on this issue yesterday , they to on this issue yesterday, they said the oecd should keep their nose out of our business. so i think many, many people would agree with that. >> and what green policies in particular would they like ? particular would they like? >> they want they say that actually the amount of money you spend the lock, the spend on the triple lock, the extra be spent extra money that would be spent in the next five years be in the next five years could be spent encourage spent on helping to encourage people electric cars. people to use electric cars. so it cover the loss of fuel it would cover the loss of fuel duty to the treasury . but that duty to the treasury. but that would be lost if people drive electric cars instead of petrol ones. electric cars instead of petrol ones . and so, yes, so that is ones. and so, yes, so that is ones. and so, yes, so that is one of the main policies they want to see. >> just remind people what the triple lock is. >> so the triple lock is it's a guarantee. so obviously, we know dunng guarantee. so obviously, we know during the blair era government pensioners, i think there was one where they got a 70. one year where they got a 70. 70, £0.75 increase, which obviously was derisory. so the, the coalition government came in in 2010. they introduced this triple lock, which means that every state pensions go up

every year state pensions go up by a minimum of 2.5% or inflation or average wage increases, whichever is highest. so it always means there's a decent increase . now, obviously decent increase. now, obviously over the last couple of years we've had high inflation, high wage increases, which means that pensioners had a bigger pensioners have had a bigger payout than they in payout than they would in previous years. but you have to remember means they're only remember that means they're only keeping cost of keeping pace with the cost of living they paid into living and they paid into exactly, a 10% exactly, exactly. so a 10% increase came in in april. well, that's just keeping pace with the of living. it's not the cost of living. it's not a bumper payout in terms of people have got loads extra have suddenly got loads of extra cash splash. but, you know , cash to splash. but, you know, there is a battle over the triple a lot of people say triple lock. a lot of people say that it's unfair on younger generations, actually our that it's unfair on younger generpensions actually our that it's unfair on younger generpensions are :tually our that it's unfair on younger generpensions are stillly our that it's unfair on younger generpensions are still much state pensions are still much lower the rest of europe. lower than the rest of europe. >> you labour will will >> do you think labour will will stick with it? >> it's interesting. they >> well, it's interesting. they haven't yet. haven't committed to it as yet. that's they haven't that's interesting. they haven't committed yet because committed to it as yet because that potentially that could be a potentially it will yeah, it will be huge. >> i mean, what do you think about this? >> i mean, just you >> i mean, i just think, you know, there's narrative, know, there's this narrative, isn't still exists isn't there? and it still exists that pensioners are living high

isn't there? and it still exists thétheensioners are living high isn't there? and it still exists théthe hog ners are living high isn't there? and it still exists théthe hog and are living high isn't there? and it still exists théthe hog and that.iving high isn't there? and it still exists théthe hog and that aing high isn't there? and it still exists théthe hog and that a lot high isn't there? and it still exists théthe hog and that a lot 0f]h on the hog and that a lot of them have private pensions. well, lot don't . and well, a lot of them don't. and the ones that they've paid well, a lot of them don't. and the ythem hat they've paid well, a lot of them don't. and the ythem over they've paid well, a lot of them don't. and the ythem over ti30,ve paid well, a lot of them don't. and the ythem over ti30, 40)aid well, a lot of them don't. and the ythem over ti30, 40 years. into them over 20, 30, 40 years. and talking about and we're talking about an average 20 to 25 grand average of 25, 20 to 25 grand a year private pension and plus the state pension. but we still have pensioners living the state pension. but we still haynothing pensioners living the state pension. but we still haynothing else )ensioners living the state pension. but we still haynothing else .ensioners living the state pension. but we still haynothing else . and ners living the state pension. but we still haynothing else . and there'sing the state pension. but we still hayridealg else . and there'sing the state pension. but we still hayridea that,e . and there'sing the state pension. but we still hayridea that, you.nd there'sing the state pension. but we still hayridea that, you know,ere'sing this idea that, you know, they live in a higher life. you know, they're getting an 8.5% pay rise at a time where, you know, mortgages have gone up, where food inflation is at an all time high. you know, they're fuel and stuff heating , you know, is stuff and heating, you know, is at an all time high. and they're being expected manage on being expected to manage on paltry 3 or 4, which is insulting civilised society is look after their elderly and their most vulnerable. and we have a duty to do that. and as sam just pointed out there, we have lowest state have one of the lowest state pensions in the western world. and the triple lock was was an attempt rectify that . and attempt to rectify that. and it's just shameful that and the sad when do they get anything right? this group of people i don't know what everything they don't know what everything they do say they get wrong and do and say they get wrong and how tell us how to run

how dare they tell us how to run our country? how they stick our country? how dare they stick to their own business, stick to our country? how dare they stick to th own, vn business, stick to our country? how dare they stick to th own, whichiness, stick to our country? how dare they stick to th own, whichiness, stiywrong. your own, which they get wrong. >> sam in >> quite right. right. sam in the express about deadly delay in diagnosis of health in the diagnosis of health conditions because you conditions because doctors you don't continuity of don't have any continuity of care doctor anymore. don't have any continuity of caryou doctor anymore. don't have any continuity of caryou see doctor anymore. don't have any continuity of caryou see a doctor anymore. don't have any continuity of caryou see a differentinymore. don't have any continuity of caryou see a different gp nore. don't have any continuity of caryou see a different gp every do you see a different gp every time you go? >> yeah, there's a couple of elements this story. one elements to this story. one is the of consistency. the lack of consistency. so every you see every time you go you see somebody else, you have to start from have to from scratch. you have to re—explain everything because you're people. you're seeing different people. they pick on trends. they don't pick up on trends. you spot the obvious you don't spot the obvious declines and things like that. and it highlights a of and it highlights a case of a man who lots different man who saw lots of different locums and who's back. pain actually turned out to be cancer , and it wasn't diagnosed till way down the line. the other element is that actually the increasing use of remote phone remote appointments through phone calls or video calls is meaning that some conditions aren't being diagnosed as swiftly as they should. and i think anybody who i mean, actually, you know, in some ways actually, you know, in some ways actually phone consultations can be convenient. i know that

sometimes helpful sometimes it is helpful to me, but but actually, for many people, it is not always very helpful, particularly if you are vulnerable. you struggle with technology. if you are a bit older, you , you know, not having older, you, you know, not having that face to face contact can really be detrimental. >> and it's like we did all these things under the pandemic, didn't you've lost didn't we? you've lost zoom everybody have everybody in. we need to have a conversation now, carol, don't we, whether on we, about whether we carry on with of life or if we with that way of life or if we don't, the zoom in don't, the thing is, the zoom in the call, they've the phone call, they've always been convenient been very convenient for the doctors. >> but but hellishly detrimental to talk to any to the patients. talk to any any person. i a very good person. i have a very good friend who's a gp. sees friend who's a gp. she sees everyone to face, she said, everyone face to face, she said, because you cannot tell you cannot have to look cannot adjust. you have to look at colour, to at the skin colour, you have to look the of their eyes. look at the back of their eyes. you to talk to them and you have to talk to them and certainly when you make this relationship they will tell relationship that they will tell you they're you the very end as they're walking door. oh, by the walking out the door. oh, by the way, this symptom. way, i've got this symptom. and they tell they wouldn't necessarily tell you or a video you that on the phone or a video call. but, you know, know, call. but, you know, you know, it you to know that it might shock you to know that more of gp's more than half of gp's appointments, don't see appointments, people don't see the gp, they pharmacist,

the gp, they see a pharmacist, they see some other kind of assistance. they see a nurse, they see somebody who does a they see as somebody who does a bit of, you know, do you bit of, you know, what do you call physiotherapy . they're call it, physiotherapy. they're not doctor. that's not seeing a doctor. so that's more than half of the appointments. and we still have parts country where 80% parts of the country where 80% of appointments on of gps appointments are done on video not video online. that's not acceptable . that acceptable. no, that was a pandemic measure and it suits doctors to keep it that way. you know, i would i would say a know, i would i would say if a doctor doesn't to see doctor doesn't want to see a patient face face, they're in patient face to face, they're in the profession. agree. the wrong profession. i agree. >> you know what? >> do you know what? >> do you know what? >> point about the >> on that point about the seeing pharmacist clinicians, yes, about yes, they're quite sneaky about it when i've been it because i know when i've been to see gp, get there and to see my gp, i get there and they oh, you can see the they say, oh, you can see the doctor now. not a doctor at doctor now. it's not a doctor at all. clinician. all. it's a clinician. yes, exactly. they try exactly. and they and they try and mislead you. they don't actually. person you see actually. the person you see does they a does not pretend they are a doctor, it doctor, but they only admit it when ask , are you a doctor? when you ask, are you a doctor? yeah. and they no, i'm yeah. and they say, no, i'm a clinician. and it's very clinician. yeah. and it's very misleading. some. misleading. and some. >> do you have a gp that you. i haven't >> do you have a gp that you. i havin't >> do you have a gp that you. i havi haven't a gp for >> i haven't seen a gp for years. really? yeah. you just get , get clinician. get, you get the clinician. i mean it's a minor so it mean it's a minor thing, so it doesn't really but doesn't really matter. but i

don't fact that they don't like the fact that they pretend. but you know the pretend. yeah but you know the gp this study also points out that, that elderly that, you know, that the elderly people of hearing people people hard of hearing people who are technophobes shouldn't have this . have to do this. >> why does the doctor have to be told that? why does the gp, who knows their patients and know there might be hard of heanng know there might be hard of hearing they they don't elderly, they know they don't have a laptop? why are they suggesting do phone have a laptop? why are they suggezbecause do phone have a laptop? why are they suggezbecause simplyione have a laptop? why are they suggezbecause simply it'se calls? because it's simply it's easier the doctors. easier for the doctors. unfortunately always unfortunately it's always been eafien unfortunately it's always been easshall we talk about the fact >> shall we talk about the fact that we've a brexit bonus , that we've got a brexit bonus, carol, in the form of a pint of champagne? now, i know what brexit was all about. you see, i get it. you finally champagne in a pint glass. >> well, i probably would drink a pint of it. no bother. but i didn't know that it used to be sold pint didn't sold in pint bottles. i didn't before brexit was sold before brexit it was sold in pint and churchill pint bottles and churchill famously said , he said, he said famously said, he said, he said a pint of champagne at lunchtime was enough for two and one pint was enough for two and one pint was enough for one person in the evening and he's probably got that about right. and now they're saying we're going they're saying that we're going to wine and

to start selling wine and champagne in pint bottles. this to start selling wine and choneyagne in pint bottles. this to start selling wine and chone ofne in pint bottles. this to start selling wine and chone of the1 pint bottles. this to start selling wine and chone of the great bottles. this to start selling wine and chone of the great benefits this to start selling wine and chone of the great benefits of s is one of the great benefits of brexit. think it's quite brexit. i think it's quite a good one. really. yeah. you know, i mean, i'm drunk too know, i mean, i'm drunk on too these days, but anyway, tu tu pi. i know that as soon as i came out , you know, no two came out, you know, no two glasses, champagne , two glasses. glasses, champagne, two glasses. but think this is quite good. but i think this is quite good. it's also going to be cheaper , it's also going to be cheaper, isn't it? yeah, it means that you have some champagne and you can have some champagne and you can have some champagne and you know, just it between two. >> wasn't that great? >> wasn't that great? >> big bottle. >> big bottle. >> you know what? >> you know what? >> is kind of thing >> this is the kind of thing that. that romania is going to say. this what you are say. oh, is this what you are bothered about? is what bothered about? is this what you've wanted red you've got? you wanted a red blue a pint of blue passport and a pint of champagne. going it's champagne. it's going to be it's going used oh, going to be used again. oh, well, the remoaners always like to pick to find something to pick on, don't they? >> you know, if don't they? >> but i think, you know, if we want to buy a slightly more smaller bottle just our smaller bottle just for our lunch, wrong? lunch, then what's wrong? >> because you open big >> because if you open a big bottle, sometimes you don't drink, then you drink, you can't go and then you put spoon in. put a spoon in. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> oh for keeps bubbles and >> oh for keeps the bubbles and it it doesn't, it doesn't. >> yeah. why do we all fall >> yeah. so why do we all fall for old. for that old. >> i know, i know. >> i know, i know. >> but we won't have to say

white people and if they upset you. >> is it different, though, sam, to saying, when walk into an to saying, when i walk into an office men, i wish office and it's all men, i wish there were more women working there were more women working there is i, i don't. >> i suppose it is i, i don't. >>— >> i suppose it is i, i don't. >> is that because we're 5050 of the population? maybe i don't know. maybe. >> i think i generally i know i do know all the women where i work in the house of commons who do feel like that. but i personally don't. i just think i like to work with talented people and if they're talented and if they're good to work with, i don't really mind who they are. >> far more women working in in they are. >> media re women working in in they are. >> media thatymen working in in they are. >> media that you're/orking in in they are. >> media that you're doingi in in they are. >> media that you're doing . n in they are. >> media that you're doing . sam the media that you're doing. sam in the lobby when i was in. >> absolutely. yeah. yeah i'm sitting when i started. >> yeah. really lots of women, political . yeah. yeah. >> yeah. really lots of women, pol i ical . yeah. yeah. >> yeah. really lots of women, poll was . yeah. yeah. >> yeah. really lots of women, poll was just . yeah. yeah. >> yeah. really lots of women, poll was just going ah. yeah. >> yeah. really lots of women, poll was just going to yeah. >> yeah. really lots of women, poll was just going to say,h. >> yeah. really lots of women, poll was just going to say, when >> i was just going to say, when i was when i was a kid on a, on a national paper, i remember a newsroom of 35 reporters. there were two women. yeah. and that, that just wouldn't be allowed. now, just be unheard of. one, because the value of women in a newsroom is astonishing . they newsroom is astonishing. they always used to send me to do the
