has said the world needs to do more to tackle climate change. dufing more to tackle climate change. during a speech at cop 28 in dubal during a speech at cop 28 in dubai, rishi sunak urged other major polluting countries to follow the uk's lead in slashing emissions. he also praised king charles for his involvement in the annual un climate talks . mr the annual un climate talks. mr sunak announced £1.6 billion for international climate finance . international climate finance. he says the uk is committed to reaching all the targets. united kingdom is totally committed to net zero. >> the paris agreement and to keeping 1.5 alive. that's why we've decarbonised faster than any other major economy . our any other major economy. our 2030 target. it means the deepest cuts of any major emitter . and deepest cuts of any major emitter. and we're determined to deliver . but instead of putting deliver. but instead of putting more pressure on working people, we're choosing a pragmatic new approach . we're ramping up approach. we're ramping up renewables and embracing the opportunities of technology and green industry. well earlier on, the king addressed the summit,

saying that the hope of the world rests on decisions taken by those at the gathering. >> with what we are witnessing, our choice now is a starker and darker one. how dangerous are we actually prepared to make our world a dealing with this is a job for us all. change will come by working together and making it easier to embrace decisions that will sustain our world rather than carry on as though there are no limits . there are no limits. >> the prime minister says greece needs to admit that the uk owns the elgin marbles before any loan deal can be agreed . any loan deal can be agreed. >> a diplomatic row broke out this week after rishi sunak cancelled a bilateral meeting with the greek prime minister. that led to the chairman of the british museum having difficulty negotiating a loan deal for the marbles with athens . greece says marbles with athens. greece says they are not willing to agree to they are not willing to agree to the uk's lawful ownership , the uk's lawful ownership,

claiming that the marbles were acquired illegally at the time . acquired illegally at the time. the government will issue renewed renewed calls for sustained humanitarian pauses in gaza after the collapse of a week long truce between israel and hamas . the fighting resumed and hamas. the fighting resumed after israel accused the terrorist group of violating the ceasefire agreement by firing a rocket before the truce was meant to end. qatar and egypt. mediators are seeking to extend the truce to continue to the release of hostages. meanwhile aid trucks have been stranded since fighting resumed . the since fighting resumed. the former health secretary says he was warned in april of 2020 about the need for focussed covid testing in care homes. matt hancock told the uk covid 19 inquiry there was not as much testing in care homes as many would have wanted because the uk didn't have enough tests . he didn't have enough tests. he also said the rule of six and tiers didn't go far enough to help stop the spread of the virus . mr hancock accused boris virus. mr hancock accused boris johnson , the former prime

johnson, the former prime minister, being not willing minister, of being not willing to go further in terms of national restrictions in the autumn of 2020. he also said the government should have acted more swiftly . more swiftly. >> i think that if we take an action sooner in september of 2020, then we might , for 2020, then we might, for instance, have avoided the need to close schools, which in the end we had to because cases were so high. >> members of aslef have voted overwhelmingly to continue eu strike action for the next six months in their ongoing dispute over pay. the announcement comes as members at 16 train companies are refusing to work overtime from today until next saturday. the company said they will operate as many trains as possible, but some areas may have no services . the union have no services. the union accused the government and the employers of not trying to negotiate, but the rail delivery group says aslef should accept an offer that would increase train driver salaries from .

train driver salaries from. 60,000 to £65,000. the prime minister says the government is finally easing legislation to push through his rwanda asylum plan as his, quote, patience is worn thin by setbacks to the deal worn thin by setbacks to the deal. rishi sunak says around £140 million has already been spent to house illegal migrants in hotels , as the rwanda plan in hotels, as the rwanda plan initially failed after european judges intervened, calling it unlawful . but judges intervened, calling it unlawful. but a judges intervened, calling it unlawful . but a new legislation unlawful. but a new legislation could disapply human rights laws for illegal migrants. there could also be a new treaty which ensures they cannot be sent from rwanda to the country that they had fled from .you're rwanda to the country that they had fled from . you're watching had fled from. you're watching gb news across the uk on television in your car, on digital radio and on your smart speaker by saying play gb news. now let's get back to mr daubeny . and ray. >> okay, now we start with the prime minister's remarks at the

cop 28 summit in dubai, where he urged other countries to step up as the uk leads by example. apparently and this is what he had to say . had to say. >> i'm here at cop 28 with two clear messages . first, the world clear messages. first, the world needs to do more to tackle climate change. we've made real progress, including at the glasgow summit. but the climate science and mounting evidence of climate related disasters show that we're not moving quickly or effectively enough . so i'm effectively enough. so i'm calling on major emitters to dramatically accelerate delivery on what they've already promised everyone in can do more and let's be very clear, the uk is leading the charge. we're absolutely committed to our net zero targets. we've already decarbonised faster than any other major economy. our emissions are down 48% since 1990 compared to limited cuts from others and a 300% increase from others and a 300% increase from china . we're also one of from china. we're also one of the largest climate donors because we want to help those

suffering the impacts of climate change. my pledge from september of £1.6 billion for the green climate fund was the uk's biggest single climate change commitment , biggest single climate change commitment, and we're going further announcing . £1.6 billion further announcing. £1.6 billion today for renewable energy and green innovation. and forests, delivering on the historic glasgow deal to end deforestation in because we can't tackle climate change without nature . we're also without nature. we're also leveraging the genius of the city of london to deliver billions more in private finance. again when the uk is leading by example all and we need others to step up. because my second message is this is, as i said in september , we won't i said in september, we won't tackle climate change unless we take people with us. climate politics is close to breaking point. the british people care about the environment and they know that the cost of inaction are intolerable. but they also know that we have choices about how we act. so yes, we'll meet

our targets, but we'll do it in a more pragmatic way , which a more pragmatic way, which doesn't burden working people . doesn't burden working people. we've scrapped plans on heat pumps and energy efficiency, which would have cost families thousands of pounds, will help people to improve energy efficiency and cut bills. but we won't force them to. we'll support nature across the uk. just this week i announced a huge new effort with 34 landscape recovery projects, a new national park and more , and new national park and more, and will harness the opportunities of technology and green industry to deliver net zero in a way that benefits the british people. and today i can share more proof on the progress that we're making . more proof on the progress that we're making. i'm more proof on the progress that we're making . i'm pleased to we're making. i'm pleased to announce a new deal between mad star and dada, which includes a commitment to jointly invest up to £11 billion into the uk's new wind farm at dogger bank, which will be the biggest in the world. this is a huge boost for

uk renewables, creating more jobs , helping to power 3 million jobs, helping to power 3 million homes and increasing our energy security . security. >> well, there we go. britain is leading the charge and the climate change politics are close to breaking point. well, joining me now is donald mccarthy, director of the climate media coalition in donald. always a pleasure to see you on the show. you must be quite happy with what rishi had to say there. £11 billion to create the world's biggest wind farm off dogger bank. another 1.6 billion to renewables. green projects and forests. are you happy with what he said or does he still need to do more? >> it's a step in the right direction and very welcome change from where he was change in tone from where he was around months ago. think around three months ago. i think the by elections that happened since have very since then have sent a very clear message that the anti climate action noises coming out from rishi sunaks government over the last year have not gone down well with the british public. he's absolutely right. >> 76% of the public want more

action on climate and that's what we need to start doing that urgently of what prince. >> sorry? king charles has said is that science is looking is that the science is looking very grim. martin but it's also fair the electorate fair to say that the electorate have spoken. >> they roared actually in >> are they roared actually in uxbndge >> are they roared actually in uxbridge they kicked back uxbridge when they kicked back against the ulez. 76% of conservative voters agree with the plans to push the sound . 76% the plans to push the sound. 76% of tory voters basically agree with this extension on scrapping petrol and diesel cars . and i petrol and diesel cars. and i wonder donika if that's true when you come back on i'll put those points to you because my point is this. we're throwing away billions of pounds to these schemes, especially in places like the united arab emirates , like the united arab emirates, which is the seventh biggest oil reserves on the planet. it's the eighth biggest oil producer on the planet. it's got the 11th worst air quality on the planet and the 10th biggest suppliers of gas on the planet. and yet here they are. tell us to switch

off our heating and stop driving our earlier on, the king our cars earlier on, the king said that people king charles, people are becoming immune to broken climate records . i put it broken climate records. i put it to you. people are bored of the broken records in terms of the leaders, the billionaires , the leaders, the billionaires, the millionaires, the kings, the elites and the luvvies lecturing us on how to live our lives. donna, i believe you're back with i reflecting on the with us. i was reflecting on the fact you said that such climate policies are popular with the electorate, but then we saw the vote of the uxbridge by—election when actually when people were given the chance to vote against ulez, they rejected it in wholesale manner and the extension of the ban on electric cars to 2035 actually went down very, very well with three quarters of all conservative voters . so i agree with you. in voters. so i agree with you. in terms of the principle, the concern of net zero is great. but when people are faced with the cost, they go the opposite direction. they vote against it . direction. they vote against it. >> well, there's a number of

things there are, first of all, in the in the uxbridge by—election the majority of people voted for parties in favour of climate action, and the tories won because of their first past. the post system gave the majority sorry, gave the seat to a minority party. however, in terms of costs for the public, i mean , what's often the public, i mean, what's often missed is that over the last ten years action on net zero has saved homeowners thousands of pounds. >> cars are more efficient because of net zero. >> regulations means homes are more efficient, lighting is more efficient , refrigeration is more efficient, refrigeration is more efficient, refrigeration is more efficient, that has saved the average householder probably £1,000 a year in cut costs already. >> and i agree with with sunak on one thing is that it shouldn't fall on the cost shouldn't fall on the cost shouldn't fall on the cost shouldn't fall on the poorest. >> and that's why i think it's really regrettable that the tory government slashed the insulation programme for the poorin insulation programme for the poor in 2012. >> we could have had 9 million homes insulated in since 2012 if they hadn't cut that programme and 9 million homes would be paying and 9 million homes would be paying lower bills because of

net zero investments. >> but donald, the climate change committee's own report said that net zero by 2050 will cost £1.4 trillion. that's the equivalent to £4,700 for every british household every year until 2050. where are these savings that the green lobby keep talking about? people aren't noticing any savings in their bills. in fact , when you their bills. in fact, when you talk about cars or cheaper and cleaner, that's not the case. if you have to scrap your and you have to scrap your car and the classes the the working classes and the poorest impacted by poorest are the most impacted by these policies, which saying these policies, which i'm saying seem to be minded from the seem to be high minded from the elites and they impact the working class hardest. and nobody ever got a say on this. so what i'm saying is at ground level , people aren't yet buying level, people aren't yet buying up to your your proposition, are they ? they? >> i'm saying at ground level, my people's homes, lights ing is now a 10th of the cost as it was ten years ago. the refrigeration is a third of the cost as it was ten years ago. their heating is

around 25 to 30% lower and new insulated homes. the cost of running them is around a fifth of what it was investing in energy efficiency benefits, working class people. and it's essential for them. and not investing in climate change impacts working class people. so, martin, i don't know if you've picked up the food inflation been horrendous inflation has been horrendous over year, up, over the last year, 20% up, which really hammers the poor. and that went up for two reasons. the cost of fossil fuels due to ukraine crisis and global extreme weather events in global extreme weather events in global food markets, baskets around the world. and a third of the inflation is to down extreme weather. now can you imagine what will be in 20, 30 years time if we don't act urgently to stop the runaway climate change thatis stop the runaway climate change that is now unfolding in front of our eyes? >> okay, donald mccarthy, we're going leave it there. going to have to leave it there. director climate media director of the climate media coalition. thanks for coming on the thanks as ever, the show. thanks as ever, for being a sport. the being a good sport. by the way, food also food inflation could also because rocketing fuel prices because of rocketing fuel prices and rocketing fertiliser prices and rocketing fertiliser prices and also rocketing inflation around the world and also a

couple of couple of wars being going on. but i digress. moving on, joining me now is ben habib, the deputy leader of reform uk . the deputy leader of reform uk. ben, pleasure to see ben, always a pleasure to see you. i want to put it to you, ben , that we the frankly , i ben, that we saw the frankly, i think nationally humiliating sight today of rishi sunak going to dubai , signing a cheque for to dubai, signing a cheque for £1.6 billion and then being relegated to the back row of a photograph. rishi nomis couldn't even buy some friends in dubai for £1.6 billion. and how do you think it will go down with people at the moment who are struggling to pay their own utility bills, saying so much money given to global money being given to global schemes abroad in places like dubai? >> well, you know, if you ask just going back to the poll that you quoted, martin, if you ask people simply you like to people simply would you like to reduce carbon emissions? >> because believe that >> because we believe that carbon emissions are damaging the climate, there can only be one answer. and you kind of indicated that the vast majority of people would say, yeah, absolutely reduce carbon

emissions. >> but then if you were to tell them that the cost of doing so to achieve net zero by 2050 by the treasury's own initial estimates was £1.4 trillion, that's 50 odd billion pounds a year and that it would be one of the most inflationary economic policies a government could implement in that you would have to insulate all your homes, 80% of commercial property in the united kingdom doesn't comply with the net zero targets. >> you'd have to get rid of your internal combustion engine car and buy a really expensive electric car. you would have to change your perfectly good gas boiler. and by the way, gas is on the verge of being classified as a green fuel. just before the pandemic kick kicked off, you'd have to give up your perfectly good gas boiler and put in an ineffective, noisy heat exchanger and all of this would be a massive burden on the british taxpayer and even if you did all of that , actually you'd did all of that, actually you'd be making close to no impact on

the climate for the globe because the united kingdom produces less than 1% of carbon emissions. >> so the question that people need to be asked and they need to answer is, are they prepared to answer is, are they prepared to economically emasculate the united kingdom in order to deliver this ideological result by 2050.7 | deliver this ideological result by 2050? i mean, and by the way, if 2050, how do they get to 2050? maybe it should be 2040. and if 2050 isn't right, perhaps it should be 2060. the whole thing is kind of arbitrary. we've just decided ideologically that this is the direction in which the developed world will go . and the developed world, go. and the developed world, remember, produces much less carbon emissions than the developed world. and the other thing that i failed to mention, which i will just mention now, is that in order to hit some of these targets, what we're doing is carbon is offshoring our carbon footprint. so we're just exporting to china jobs, manufacture jarang and other economic parts of the united kingdom in the in the false hope

that we can somehow tick the net zero boxes. but, you know , zero boxes. but, you know, offshoring your carbon emissions doesn't reduce carbon emissions. it merely offshores it. and indeed, you mentioned the ulez charge that sadiq khan is introduced across london. that doesn't reduce carbon emissions. when you pay £12.50 to drive your car, which doesn't comply with his legislation, that doesn't mean there's going to be fewer carbon emissions . it doesn't mean there's going to be fewer carbon emissions. it just means your £12.50 worse off. you're still producing the same amount carbon emissions. the amount of carbon emissions. the whole thing has been mis sold to the british public. in fact, it hasn't even been sold to the british public because it's just been implemented over the british public's head. and now slowly the of net zero is slowly the cost of net zero is beginning to reveal itself. and what we what we need is for a proper cost benefit analysis to be produced, something the conservatives don't like doing. you know , i'm going to digress you know, i'm going to digress again for a second, if i may, martin, but you'll recall the hassle of liz truss was given when she wanted to cut taxes on

the working class because the obr hadn't costed it, hadn't looked at the impact of her tax cuts on on the british economy. well, we where's the obr on net zero? has anyone done the kind of calculation required to determine whether that's going to damage the economy in the way that i've been setting out? we do know the treasury is estimated cost to be 1.4 estimated its cost to be 1.4 trillion. that's 70% of our national debt . again, in order national debt. again, in order to hit net zero. and that's the treasury's estimate . when was treasury's estimate. when was the treasury last time on a correct. on a number. it's never right. so if they say 1.4 trillion, it's probably going to be more like double that. so we'll see our national debt skyrocket , but we'll see our skyrocket, but we'll see our economy collapse . we'll have economy collapse. we'll have embedded inflation and the way we'll hit net zero is by exporting all our manufacturing and other carbon carbon producing industries to china. the whole thing is a farce. what we should do is just ditch the drive to net zero. in the united kingdom, it's not a matter of,

you know, move the deadline for internal combustion engines and gas boilers from 2030 to 2035. it's a matter of completely unwind this inexorable march, not to net zero, but economic emasculation . emasculation. >> ian okay. ben obe wow. you are certainly fully charged. thank you for joining are certainly fully charged. thank you forjoining us on the thank you for joining us on the show. ben habib deputy leader of reform uk. fantastic stuff . now reform uk. fantastic stuff. now you're watching or listening to gb coming up, we'll be gb news. coming up, we'll be digesting fallout digesting all the fallout from matt hancock's covid grilling today he claimed that today where he claimed that rishi would have put rishi sunak would have put enormous pressure on boris johnson, not to have an autumn lockdown. this and much more. i'm martin daubney on gb news and this is britain's news

mornings from 930 on. >> gb news as . well >> gb news as. well >> gb news as. well >> come back 325 i'm martin daubney. welcome back to the show . now i want to remind you show. now i want to remind you once more of just how far rishi sunak was back during the family photo at cop 28 in dubai. and as you can see there . yeah, look, you can see there. yeah, look, he's right at the back and he's only five foot six. but they've stuck him right on the back row . stuck him right on the back row. billy nomates. aren't you billy nomates. and aren't you glad £1.6 billion of taxpayers money was given over for the climate funding today ? okay. and climate funding today? okay. and they didn't even put him anywhere near the front. right at the back. friendless he must have taken his own orange box just to be seen and this this is typical of rishi. last year they stuck him on the back row and

there's vibes coming out of this. you might remember this picture . you may remember picture. you may remember a similar thing happening to former england left back ashley cole. yeah, he's hoving interview. see him over on the left they over on the left there when he's playing at roma he was just not at all comfortable with his team—mates one of the most meme photographs of all time. there was ashley cole on moon landings as ashley cole zoomed into the nelson mandela being free from prison, totally maimed and i think back on the back row there rishi sunak it just i think makes a laughing stock of the fact we're going over there giving them a massive live sack full of cash, a wheelbarrow of the taxpayers money, and the stuff taxpayers money, and they don't seem to even care anyway, that's just me now moving on, matt hancock's been facing the covid 19 inquiry again today, and the former health secretary has accepted that kissing an aide may have impacted the public's confidence in rules put in place to stop the spread of the virus. yet yet

you don't say that, sherlock and gb news political correspondent katherine forster is outside the inquiry in west london. you've been there all day. i hope you're keeping nice and warm. catherine. it's freezing cold outside. yesterday hey, matt hancock is fair to use a football analogy. the boy had a nightmare. this thing about the protective ring around care homes proved to be a total fantasy . was today any better. fantasy. was today any better. not particular. >> clearly. apart from he was only grilled up until 1:00 and then he was said free. although it was stressed to him that he might possibly need to give evidence again. but i certainly think probably some of the most difficult hours of matt hancock's life today and yesterday probably only topped , yesterday probably only topped, of course, by when that very damning story broke of him having an affair with an aide and breaking the very rules that he and the government had set. now that was brought up today as

it was bound to be sooner or later. and he was asked about the effect that he thought that that and, of course, people like dominic cummings testing his eyesight in barnard castle might have had on public confidence . have had on public confidence. and he said what he learnt is it is important that those who make the rules abide by them and i resign , ed in order to take resign, ed in order to take accountability for my failure to do that. so obviously that was difficult for him , although difficult for him, although i think many of the public would have very little sympathy with him . but more broadly , he him. but more broadly, he continued yesterday, he said that we should have locked down earlier in the first lockdown today. earlier in the first lockdown today . he said we should have today. he said we should have locked down earlier in the third lockdown. in fact, he said that if the government had gone further in the autumn of 2020 with restrictions , that it might with restrictions, that it might not have been necessary to close schools in january 2021. a real

tension clearly within the government. boris johnson not keen to take people's liberties away. matt hancock thinking it was the best way to get on top of the virus. and rishi sunak, who was always very worried about the effect on the economy , about the effect on the economy, apparently in the autumn of 2020 had had thought that it might be better to close secondary schools then in that in fact, to close non—essential shops which i thought was interesting, but questions from a lot of lawyers representing bereaved families representing bereaved families represent putting the tuc representing people of colour disabled people and a lot of focus too, again on the protective ring, as it was called, that we know really did not ever exist. and measures taken or not taken to protect the most vulnerable in society in care homes. he was grilled over this for a long time and it was clear, first of all, that

the government hadn't really understood along , i suppose with understood along, i suppose with much of the world about asymptomatic transmission . even asymptomatic transmission. even then, they simply hadn't had enough tests early in the pandemic to test people . and pandemic to test people. and then also the issue of care workers going to multiple different care homes and presumably in some cases taking coronavirus with them. matt hancock actually said that he had tried to get that practice banned and he'd come very close to getting it banned, but ultimately hadn't been able to pushit ultimately hadn't been able to push it through . but clearly he push it through. but clearly he seems to believe that he was trying to do all the right things. but he was blocked, that he wasn't listened to . and he wasn't listened to. and ultimately that they didn't have the resources . he was saying the resources. he was saying that these were all very difficult choices, all bad choices. he said . and, of choices. he said. and, of course, you know, hindsight is a wonderful thing. but overall , wonderful thing. but overall, our death toll in the uk was comparable with other countries, although clearly mistakes were

made every day. >> katherine forster, thanks for that update at the covid inquiry. you know, we had a guy on yesterday, charles persinger, who lost relatives to covid and he said what hancock said yesterday was utterly heartbreaking . a lot of people heartbreaking. a lot of people like to see this guy in an actual court, but here we are, the is all we have the covid inquiry is all we have for now. now you're watching and listening news and coming for now. now you're watching and list

billion fund for international climate finance . the pm says climate finance. the pm says greece needs to admit that the uk owns the elgin marbles before any loan deal can be agreed. diplomatic row broke out this week after rishi sunak cancelled a bilateral meeting with the greek prime minister the british museum has been unable to negotiate a loan deal for the marbles with athens . greece says marbles with athens. greece says they are not willing to agree to they are not willing to agree to the uk's lawful ownership , the uk's lawful ownership, claiming the marbles were acquired illegally . the idf says acquired illegally. the idf says israel has struck over 200 terror targets since hamas violated the terms of the pause in fighting. the military says in fighting. the military says in the last few hours, locations in the last few hours, locations in the last few hours, locations in the north and south of the gaza strip, including khan younis and rafah, were hit, including operational command centres . the week long truce centres. the week long truce collapsed after hamas fired a rocket before it was meant to end. qatar and egypt mediators are seeking to extend the truce to continue the release of hostages. meanwhile aid trucks

have been stranded since fighting resumed . and members of fighting resumed. and members of aslef have voted overwhelmingly to continue strike action for the next six months in their ongoing dispute over pay. the announcement comes as members at 16 train companies are refusing to overtime from today to work overtime from today until saturday. the companies say they will operate as many trains as possible, but some areas have no services , as areas may have no services, as the rail delivery group says, drivers have been offered a £5,000 pay rise, which would take their salaries to 60 5ka yeah take their salaries to 60 5ka year. you can get more on all of those stories by visiting our website gbnews.com . for stunning website gbnews.com. for stunning gold and silver coins. >> you'll always value. rosalind gold proudly sponsors the gb news financial report. >> time to show you the money in today's markets. the pound will

airstrike has shown nearly 98,000 buildings have suffered damage so far. well, i'm joined now in studio by gb news home and security editor mark white. so, mark, we feared this would happen. there's a sense of inevitability. the big question is who fired the first shot? >> well, in terms of who fired the first shot, we believe that that was if not hamas, then palestinian islamic jihad, who seemed to be claiming responsibility for that. they're intertwined with hamas really within the gaza strip. it was 340 this morning, and i still have the rocket alert app on my phone from when i was in israel. and that was going mad at 340 this morning with multiple alerts around the gaza strip and in southern israel . so this is in southern israel. so this is what that sounded like from the town of sderot , just over the town of sderot, just over the gaza border , where a double is

gaza border, where a double is approved . approved. >> cvr adau sevilla , cvr adau . >> cvr adau sevilla, cvr adau. >> cvr adau sevilla, cvr adau. >> and that's the alarm that you were getting on your phone at the same time in real time, of course, you were there. course, because you were there. >> yeah. and of course you've less to run to the area less than 10s to run to the area shelters, if that's you . the shelters, if that's you. the iron dome, of course, was activated right across israel to take out these rockets . and then take out these rockets. and then the israeli military responded in kind with multiple airstrikes right across the gaza strip and in the south of gaza as well around khan younis, where there have been significant airstrikes, all day. the israeli military saying that there have been 200 strikes within in that penod been 200 strikes within in that period since this pause ended early this morning. now anthony blinken, the us secretary of state, has been in dubai. he's been speaking about the end of this humanitarian pause and it's clear who he blames for the

resumption of hostilities as it came to an end because of hamas . came to an end because of hamas. >> hamas reneged on commitments it made. in fact, even before the pause came to an end, it committed an atrocious terrorist attack in jerusalem , killing attack in jerusalem, killing three people, wounding others, including americans. >> it began firing rockets before the pause had ended . before the pause had ended. >> there was also a shooting at a bus stop in jerusalem. did that have anything to do with that? because hamas claimed responsibility for that. it seems the seems that they've been the aggressors since the hostages been over. been handed over. >> yeah, well, anthony blinken just mentioned there didn't just mentioned there it didn't actually impact yet on actually have an impact yet on the end of the humanitarian pause because actually that was quite specific . it was about an quite specific. it was about an end to hostilities within the gaza strip. so although there have been incidents that have taken place in jerusalem and in the west bank that didn't really impact on that . but, you know, impact on that. but, you know, the concern is where do we go from here? i think the longer this goes on with continued

hostage cities, the more difficult it will be to get back into the business of any kind of humanitarian pause. we know that qatar and egypt say they are still involved in talks with hamas acting as broker to try to instil that humanitarian pause again. but it will depend on what hamas is demanding as well, because it seems they want more for the next phase. they're about to enter into, which would be the release of men and idf soldiers, which in the minds of hamas is worth more. they want more in the way of palestinian prisoners released in response to that, this might sound like a silly question , but if the silly question, but if the palestinians , if hamas want palestinians, if hamas want their prisoners to be released, why would they start firing rockets and gunning people down at bus stops ? at bus stops? >> if a if a truce, a momentary ceasefire was getting them what they wanted , why would they they wanted, why would they do this? you have get

>> well, you have to get yourself minds of hamas yourself into the minds of hamas and palestinian islamic jihad for that . and remember, as well for that. and remember, as well that more than 100 hostages have now been released . there's about now been released. there's about 140 or so to go. it certainly in proper , the interest of hamas proper, the interest of hamas and islamic jihad to eke this out as long as possible, because they know that it's still the avowed aim of israel. once all the hostages have released. if we ever get to that point to resume the war against hamas, because israel says that it won't rest until hamas is capability in the first instance to govern in gaza , in the second to govern in gaza, in the second instance, to be able to continue to launch rocket attacks and terrorist attacks against israel is completely degraded. so i think, you know, from hamas's point of view, they want to

clearly eke this out for as long as possible . as possible. >> okay, mark white, thank you very much for that update. we have live pictures there at the israel—gaza border . the superb. israel—gaza border. the superb. thank you very much, mark white, for joining us and giving us forjoining us and giving us that update . tense situation out that update. tense situation out there. okay you're watching or listening to gb news coming up, we'll discussing the chaos of we'll be discussing the chaos of villa park that we saw last night resulted in officers night that resulted in officers being injured and visiting fans being injured and visiting fans being banned from akua attending that game. i'm martin dalby on gb news and this is britain's news

with me, michael portillo, gb news, britain's news . channel news, britain's news. channel >> welcome back to show 344. i'm martin dalby this is gb news moving on 46 people have been arrested after violence broke out and the build up to aston villa's game last night with legia warsaw in birmingham . four legia warsaw in birmingham. four police officers were injured in the clashes and leisure fans were not allowed into villa park before kick off on the advice of west midlands police as well. our reporter jack carlson is at villa park. jack, disgraceful scenes we saw officers injured. we saw projectile bottles hurled into the ground by the fans from outside . what's the latest ? outside. what's the latest? >> yeah , some really disturbing >> yeah, some really disturbing scenes last night, of course. and just in the last hour , aston and just in the last hour, aston villa have released a statement saying they have lodged a formal

complaint with uefa over the conduct of those legia warsaw supporters as but also, of course, the football club itself. they have kind of set out the timeline of events yesterday. so whenever these on the day of these matches, essentially both representatives from each club and representatives from uefa meet throughout the day essentially to of course, talk through the event, talk through concerns that there particularly that there might be particularly the around legia warsaw and their supporters after we know last uefa did give them last month, uefa did give them a ban when for their away game in the europa conference league in bosnia over the conduct of their fans, injuring dutch police officers when they played ak alkmaar just officers when they played ak alkmaarjust a officers when they played ak alkmaar just a few officers when they played ak alkmaarjust a few months ago. alkmaar just a few months ago. so aston villa, in their statement said they met those club officials at 1030 in the morning and that it wasn't until much later in the afternoon, 4:00 pm they say until legia warsaw actually confirmed to aston villa that they were going to accept allocation of to accept the allocation of their tickets. tickets is their tickets. the tickets is essentially where a lot of all

this disturbance and all this violence night came from, violence last night came from, because , as the rules because initially, as the rules are with uefa and their competitions, 5% of the stadium capacity essentially should be rewarded to the visiting fans as their capacity . but after advice their capacity. but after advice from the safety advisory group, mainly the big voice within that being west midlands police , of being west midlands police, of course, knowing with that prior knowledge of some of the disruption that the ak, some of the disruption that the legia warsaw of caused at warsaw fans of course caused at ak a few months ago ak alkmaar just a few months ago in that game, westminster police raised concerns, of course, around the safety supporters , around the safety of supporters, both aston villa, course, and both aston villa, of course, and the that were trying the away fans that were trying to into the stadium. yes so to go into the stadium. yes so when came to the time when it then came to the time for the match and aston villa say they'd handed over the tickets ligue warsaw and tickets to ligue warsaw and their official club representatives , it was an issue representatives, it was an issue with the out those with the handing out of those tickets that caused all of the violence. but because, course violence. but because, of course , know that there , initially we know that there were fans here last night that did ticket the did not have a ticket for the game. get thousands of game. when you get thousands of fans saying they've all game. when you get thousands of fansa saying they've all game. when you get thousands of fansa ticket saying they've all game. when you get thousands of fansa ticket allocatingey've all game. when you get thousands of fansa ticket allocating those all got a ticket allocating those and being find the right

and being able to find the right people for those tickets, of course, and course, is difficulty. and so that's the that's where a lot of the violence then started. as you mentioned. and martin, of course, thrown at course, projectiles thrown at police as well. know police flares as well. we know one one of the policeman's jackets involved in that incident his jacket catch incident had his jacket catch fire. and we know have had heard from westminster police that, of course , that that jacket was course, that that jacket was able to be removed from him before any kind of before he suffered any kind of burn but know burn injuries. but we know police horses were also punched and kicked police dogs because of glass the bottles of the glass and the bottles being thrown. we've also had injuries because injuries to their paws because of that glass as well. and the police investigation of that glass as well. and the police active igation of that glass as well. and the police active and on of that glass as well. and the police active and has been very much active and has been very active here today. i've seen in here this morning multiple police officers kind of sweep the area, looking for evidence, of course, as people still do of course, as 46 people still do remain in custody, all of them west midlands police say, are away fans as. >> okay, jack carson, thanks for that update from villa park . you that update from villa park. you know, this this team needs to be kicked out of the tournament. they kicked out of they need to be kicked out of europe. if uefa don't do anything the europe. if uefa don't do anyth of| the

europe. if uefa don't do anyth of uefa the europe. if uefa don't do anyth of uefa ? the europe. if uefa don't do anythof uefa ? isn't the europe. if uefa don't do anythof uefa ? isn't it the europe. if uefa don't do anythof uefa ? isn't it funny1e point of uefa? isn't it funny how they call who hooliganism? the english disease and the press always steam into english football fans is like even at the armistice event of the week. they're far right . they're they're far right. they're thugs. and yet these people from from poland and also we saw back in may, west ham were attacked at home thugs coming to britain causing trouble. maybe the problem isn't with england, but with european clubs. that's my thoughts now . moving on. working thoughts now. moving on. working class audiences find the bbc too politically correct . and that's politically correct. and that's according to a study by ofcom . according to a study by ofcom. the research also found that the broadcasters programmes were seen as lacking in unvarnished opinion and its portrayal of working class characters can be stereotypical or tokenistic. well former bbc executive and presenter roger bolton joins me now . roger, thanks for presenter roger bolton joins me now. roger, thanks for joining us on gb news. always a pleasure. do you think this is fair, this criticism ? certainly fair, this criticism? certainly when i grew up as a lad, it seems to be people the shows on the bbc are much more representative of the working

classes. there's a lot fun , classes. there's a lot more fun, too. do you think this criticism stands ? stands up? >> well, i think, by the way, the phrase politically correct, i don't think is in the ofcom statement. i think that's a spin by . but what it is by newspapers. but what it is clear is the bbc has always had to horses to ride. on the one hand, it is a licence fee. it's got to satisfy everybody. and on the it doesn't the other hand, if it doesn't provide things that the commercial , commercial sector provides, doesn't provide, you know , doesn't provide, you know, relatively things like classical music or very serious current affairs, investigate journalism and so on. if it doesn't do all of that and children's programming, it gets criticised of that and children's prcwell. ming, it gets criticised of that and children's prcwell. ming, i'gotts criticised of that and children's prcwell. ming, i'got to :riticised of that and children's prcwell.ming, i'got to run. sed of that and children's prcwell.ming, i'got to run. the as well. so it's got to run. the two horses. it's always had a problem with with say, radio four being more listened to in the southeast and being thought to be middle class. the southeast and being thought to be middle class . and it's to be middle class. and it's tried to address this in recent years production out years by moving production out of london. but think it still of london. but i think it still has problem. sound has a problem. it is does sound too middle class. >> and roger, another thing that came for criticism, which i think with some justification was comedy. and there's definitely a feeling now that

things like have i got news for you are very kind of monolithic in their targets. brexit. donald trump people voted to leave you know, and also another thing that came out in this report was people are a bit fed up of large salaries. and of course , the top salaries. and of course, the top of that tree is people like gary lineker. so again , this lineker. so again, this underlines this massive disconnect between hard working class people who just knuckle down and get on with their lives and then multi—millionaires who espouse the kind of politics that takes the mickey out of their actual viewers . their actual viewers. >> well, that's martin bashir view, by the way. >> you won't tell me what you're paid for. gb news, would you? i bet it's a fair whack. well i was it's not 1.3 was doing feedback. it's not 1.3 million, rod. no it's a fair whack. i'm sure when produced presented feedback for radio four, i got £1,000 a show and that's quite a lot of money. but i think, you know, the bbc, the bafic i think, you know, the bbc, the basic background to this is the bbc now is 30% less money in real terms to spend than it had ten years ago. and it's being squeezed deliberately by the

government. so it is doing less original programming. government. so it is doing less original programming . but if you original programming. but if you think a role for public think there's a role for public service broadcasting saying local radio and local news in elsewhere, then you've got to say we've got to stop squeezing the bbc, maybe criticise it, but stop squeezing it so it can deliver more domestic good domestic programming. i mean , domestic programming. i mean, the fact that he doesn't do as much comedy now is because comedy expensive it's got comedy is expensive and it's got less money. the fact it doesn't do much domestic drama now is do as much domestic drama now is because hasn't much because it hasn't got as much money now . it is also the only money now. it is also the only place in this country now that's doing original children's programming. the rest is all cartoons, usually from the states . so, you know, if we want states. so, you know, if we want those things , you know, we've those things, you know, we've got fund the bbc properly. those things, you know, we've got fu always bbc properly. those things, you know, we've got fu always kick properly. those things, you know, we've got fu always kick it.yperly. those things, you know, we've got fu always kick it. iferly. those things, you know, we've got fu always kick it. if it]. but yes, always kick it. if it doesn't perform in the way it should. and this tendency to be a bit too middle class, a bit too orientated towards the southeast is a continual problem andifs southeast is a continual problem and it's right that ofcom highlights it. but ofcom did not say i don't think anyway,

politically correct . that's politically correct. that's a different game, is it an indication though , roger, the indication though, roger, the output of the mindset and the individuals who tend to work at the bbc? >> i've worked a lot for the bbc and i never really saw a lot of people like me, you know, coal miners, sons from nottinghamshire around. find nottinghamshire around. i find a very bred , middle very university bred, middle class, very liberal mindset , class, very liberal mindset, lots of diversity on the on the surface in terms of the ethnicity , but not much ethnicity, but not much diversity in terms of thought. and does that affect the output? the programme that we get ? the programme that we get? >> yeah. well, my dad was a joiner, but i did go to liverpool university but not to a public school, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera . look, there etcetera, etcetera. look, there is a danger of groupthink and you're absolutely right. there's a when of a danger that when groups of people gathered together people are gathered together with backgrounds with the same backgrounds and concentrate in the same place, they're not as critical as they should they're not they're should be. they're not they're not aware of the rest of the country. and i do think i don't think the bbc handled brexit badly, didn't badly, but i do think it didn't properly report the scale of

support for brexit around the country. and that's partly because it's still too much concentrate in london and the south—east. but it has moved a significant amount to manchester. a lot of drama to cardiff and elsewhere . i would cardiff and elsewhere. i would like it to strengthen its local radio instead of cutting it back , and i think it's always got to be aware there's a great danger of groupthink . and now, it's of groupthink. and now, as it's cutting operation back, cutting its news operation back, it to do. and central it has to do. and central decision making. there's another danger that a handful of people determine the news agenda. that's always dangerous, always dangerous . dangerous. >> okay. roger bolton and former exec of the bbc, thank you for joining us. always a pleasure to talk to you . well, what do you talk to you. well, what do you make of that? let us know your thoughts. is the bbc too? pc well got plenty to well, we've got plenty more to bnng a well, we've got plenty more to bring a moment, bring you in just a moment, including the very latest including all the very latest reaction cop 28 reaction to rishi's cop 28 announcement. should we have announcement. and should we have announcement. and should we have a on net zero? this a referendum on net zero? this and much, much more in just a moment. i'm martin daubney on gb news britain's news channel. >> a brighter outlook with boxed

dufing more to tackle climate change. during his speech at cop28 in dubai , rishi sunak urged other dubai, rishi sunak urged other major polluting countries to follow the uk's lead in slashing emissions . follow the uk's lead in slashing emissions. he follow the uk's lead in slashing emissions . he also praised king emissions. he also praised king charles for his involvement in the annual un climate talks. mr sunak announced £1.6 billion for international climate finance and assured the government's commitment to ensure green policies won't hurt taxpayers pockets . pockets. >> kingdom is totally committed to net zero. the paris agreement and to keeping 1.5 alive. that's why we've decarbonised fast , why we've decarbonised fast, better than any other major economy . our 2030 target means economy. our 2030 target means the deepest cuts of any major emitter and we're determined to deliver . but instead of putting deliver. but instead of putting more pressure on working people, we're choosing a pragmatic new approach. we're ramping up renewables and embracing the opportunities of technology and green industry . green industry. >> well, labour leader sir keir

starmer is not impressed. he says the government's pledges fall short . fall short. >> every country needs to do more across the globe and that includes the uk . we have done includes the uk. we have done some good things but we need to lead by the power of example , lead by the power of example, not use that as a reason for going no further. not use that as a reason for going no further . this is a huge going no further. this is a huge obugafion going no further. this is a huge obligation for britain because many people watching this will be struggling with their bills. they want their energy bills to go down quite understandably, the only way they go down for goodisif the only way they go down for good is if we transition to renewables. >> well, earlier on, the king addressed the summit, saying that the hope of the world rests on decisions taken by those at the gathering . the gathering. >> with what we are witnessing , >> with what we are witnessing, our choice now is a starker and darker one in how dangerous are we actually prepared to make our . world dealing with this is a job for us all. change will come

by working together and making it easier to embrace decisions that will sustain our world rather than carry on as though there are no limits . there are no limits. >> the prime minister says greece needs to admit that the uk owns the elgin marbles before any loan deal can be agreed. a diplomatic row broke out this week after rishi sunak cancelled a bilats meeting with the greek prime minister and greece says the marbles were acquired illegally and the uk does not have lawful ownership . israel have lawful ownership. israel israel's defence forces say they've struck over 200 terror targets , end quote. since hamas targets, end quote. since hamas violated the terms of the pause in fighting in the last few hours, locations in the north and south of the gaza strip, including khan yunis and rafah , including khan yunis and rafah, were hit, including operational command centres the week long truce collapsed after hamas fired a rocket in the early hours of this morning. mediators from qatar and egypt are working

to try to continue the release of hostages. meanwhile, us secretary of state antony blinken says hamas is responsible . it came to an end responsible. it came to an end because of hamas. >> hamas reneged on commitments it made. >> in fact, even before the pause came to an end , it pause came to an end, it committed an atrocious terrorist attack in jerusalem, killing three people, wounding others, including americans. >> it began firing rockets before the pause had ended. the former health secretary says he was warned in april 2020 about the need for focussed covid testing in care homes. >> matt hancock told the uk covid 19 inquiry there was not as much testing in care homes as many would have wanted . he says many would have wanted. he says because the uk did not have enough tests. he also said the rule of six and tiers didn't go far enough to help stop the spread the virus . mr hancock spread of the virus. mr hancock accused former pm boris johnson of being not willing to go further in terms of national restriction in the autumn of 2020. and he said the government

should have acted more swiftly . should have acted more swiftly. >> i think that if we take an action soon, sooner in september of 2020, then we might , for of 2020, then we might, for instance, have avoided the need to close schools, which in the end we had to because cases were so high. >> members of aslef have voted overwhelmingly to continue strike action for the next six months in their ongoing dispute over pay. the announcement comes as members at 16 train companies are refusing to work overtime from today until next saturday. the company said they will operate as many trains as possible, but some areas may have no services. the union has blamed the government for not negotiating on. the rail delivery group says that drivers have been offered a £5,000 pay rise, which would take their salaries to 60 5ka year. the this is gb news across the uk on television in your car , on television in your car, on digital radio and on your smart speaker by saying play gb news. now let's get back to . martin

now let's get back to. martin >> thank you, ray. now, you may have noticed the prime minister's been at cop 28in dubal minister's been at cop 28in dubai, where he urged other countries to step up as the uk leads by example . this is what leads by example. this is what rishi had to say. >> i'm here at cop 28 with two clear messages. first, the world needs to do more to tackle climate change. we've made real progress, including at the glasgow summit. but the climate science and mounting evidence of climate related disasters show that we're not moving quickly or effectively enough . so i'm effectively enough. so i'm calling on major emitters to dramatically acceler late delivery on what they've already promised. everyone can do more. and let's be very clear, the uk is leading the charge. we're absolutely committed to our net zero targets. we've already decarbonised faster than any other major economy. our emissions are down 48% since 1990 compared to limited cuts

from others and a 300% increase from others and a 300% increase from china . we're also one of from china. we're also one of the largest climate donors because we want to help those suffering the impacts of climate change. my pledge from september of £1.6 billion for the green climate fund was the uk's biggest single climate change commitment . and we're going commitment. and we're going further announcing £1.6 billion today for renewable energy. green innovation and forests, delivering on the historic glasgow deal to end deforestation because we can't tackle climate change without nature. we're also leveraging the genius of the city of london to deliver billions more in private finance. again, the uk is leading by example and we need others to step up . because need others to step up. because my second message is this as i said in september , we won't said in september, we won't tackle climate change unless we take people with us. climate politics is close to breaking point. the british people care about the environment and they

know that the cost of inaction are intolerable. but they also know that we have choices about how we act. so yes, we'll meet our targets , but we'll do it in our targets, but we'll do it in a more pragmatic way, which doesn't burden working people. we've scrapped plans on heat pumps and energy efficiency , pumps and energy efficiency, which would have cost families thousands of pounds , will help thousands of pounds, will help people to improve energy efficiency and cut bills . but we efficiency and cut bills. but we won't force them to . we'll won't force them to. we'll support nature across the uk. just this week i announced a huge new effort with 34 landscape recovery projects , a landscape recovery projects, a new national park and more , and new national park and more, and will harness the opportunities of technology and green industry to deliver net zero in a way that benefits the british people. and today i can share more proof on the progress that we're making . more proof on the progress that we're making. i'm more proof on the progress that we're making . i'm pleased to we're making. i'm pleased to announce a new deal between mad star and dada, which includes a commitment to jointly invest up

to £11 billion into the uk's new wind farm at dogger bank, which will be the biggest in the world. this is a huge boost for uk renewables, creating more jobs, helping to power 3 million homes and increasing our energy security. >> so there we go. the uk is leading the charge. we're leading the charge. we're leading the charge to give away flipping great wodges of cash. and join me now to discuss this is elliot keck, head of campaigns at the taxpayers alliance. the thing that gets people going about this, elliot, is this billions and billions and billions of pounds committed over the years . nobody was ever over the years. nobody was ever consulted and presumably only the vast amount of taxpayers would rather this money was spent domestically . spent domestically. >> yeah, and i think in particular, taxpayers would like to be consulted as you said. >> i think when we look at our major our conferences and summits like cop, part of a much, much broader programme, i think the prime minister, the king, anybody that's representing the united kingdom

at this summit needs to remember that there there to represent british and ultimately british taxpayers and ultimately that's who they're there to represent . and so when start represent. and so when we start talking these absolutely talking about these absolutely massive pledges, these these absolutely massive decisions, rishi sunak and his ministers and his diplomats need to ensure that the british and his diplomats need to ensure that first. the british people first. >> what of numbers are >> and what kind of numbers are we about? telephone we talking about? the telephone book but what kind of book numbers. but what kind of figures away? figures are they giving away? >> cop 27, which >> so let's take cop 27, which was sharm el—sheikh was held at sharm el—sheikh in egypt. led to the creation egypt. that led to the creation of something called the loss. and is there and damage fund, which is there to essentially compensate developing nations who are impacted change and impacted by climate change and it's estimated that that's possibly cost the possibly going to cost the united kingdom around 11 to 12, £13 billion, depending on who you ask. by 2030, that's about £2 billion a year. that's a substantial amount money. substantial amount of money. there's united there's also the united kingdom's commitments to the international fund. so international climate fund. so these absolutely gargantuan these are absolutely gargantuan commitments it's of commitments, and it's part of a very, very long process of the united kingdom major united kingdom funding major multilateral , multilateral organisations, global quangos, as the taxpayers alliance calls them. and we've found that £85 billion has been

spent between 2009 to 2021 to fund some of these massive organised actions. those numbers are eye—watering and they're sums of money which could go a long way . long way. >> domestically, we were handed thin gruel at the autumn statement, for example , in the statement, for example, in the form of a 2% gni cut. people were expecting a bit more. do you think people have every right to feel bit dis chuffed right to feel a bit dis chuffed with , anne, that with the notion, anne, that we're getting hardly anything given to us in our pockets and purses and wallets in britain and yet we seem to be chucking away billions on the international stage. climate international stage. two climate funds. increasingly being >> and increasingly being dictated by the very same dictated to by the very same organisations that we're often one funders of one of the largest funders of which i think is particularly grating. there's grating. i think there's definitely a sense that we don't grating. i think there's defithe ly a sense that we don't grating. i think there's defithe gratitudee that we don't grating. i think there's defithe gratitude that: we don't grating. i think there's defithe gratitude that actually�*t get the gratitude that actually the united kingdom deserves for funding organisations for funding these organisations for being one of the world being actually one of the world leaders in climate change and net zero targets. and that's evenin net zero targets. and that's even in including rishi sunak's recent softening of some of those policies. so i think the united kingdom does need to seriously look at the way that

it funds these organisations as some commitments that are some of its commitments that are funds of its its funds as part of its its involvement, involvement with these organisations. and seriously look at whether that is actually value for money for british taxpayers and the taxpayers alliance is all about the money. >> to taxpayers, to the >> and to taxpayers, to the british public, it's all about >> and to taxpayers, to the brit money. .ic, it's all about >> and to taxpayers, to the brit money. now s all about >> and to taxpayers, to the brit money. now well about >> and to taxpayers, to the brit money. now we knowut >> and to taxpayers, to the brit money. now we know that the the money. now we know that the commitment was in the tory manifesto pledge 2019 for net manifesto pledge in 2019 for net zero. however, there were no figures next week. nobody knew what cost. so the what it would cost. so the concept of saving the planet, of course people warm to. but when they when they discover the cost, things change. how unpopular are these kind of nofions unpopular are these kind of notions when you talk to taxpayers? yeah i think, again, if you put forward the basic proposition that do you think that we should protect the environment ? environment? >> it is popular. but then when you ask people, would you be willing a willing to spend £15,000 on a heat when your boiler is heat pump when your boiler is actually perfectly good actually in perfectly good working condition, then people tend cool proposition tend to cool on the proposition quite bit . quite a bit. >> and the same with an electric vehicle with vehicle and the same with insulation . and there never

insulation. and there never seems be a carrot. it always seems to be a carrot. it always seems to be a carrot. it always seems to be a carrot. it always seems to be a stick. like my colleague, perfectly good car, 40,000 miles on the coal. mine's a diesel. i can't drive it anymore without sadiq anymore without paying sadiq khan there are khan £125 a day. and there are many , many the working many, many people the working classes , the hard workers who classes, the hard workers who can't afford replace their can't afford to replace their vehicles. afford to vehicles. they can't afford to replace boilers and they replace their boilers and they don't need to. they shouldn't have and they feel these have to. and yet they feel these kind of policies are forcing them a corner. yeah them into a corner. yeah >> and incredibly blunt instruments. say you're instruments. let's say you're driving car down, driving that diesel car down, regent street. you'll the regent street. you'll pay the same you're driving same amount as if you're driving that a quiet road. that diesel car on a quiet road. and is essentially the uk and what is essentially the uk countryside when you get out to areas like uxbridge bexley. areas like uxbridge and bexley. so are very blunt so some of these are very blunt instruments. government instruments. and when government starts instruments, starts using blunt instruments, taxpayers starts using blunt instruments, taxpajpunished not that they're starts using blunt instruments, taxpajaskedled not that they're starts using blunt instruments, taxpajasked to not that they're starts using blunt instruments, taxpajasked to make1at they're starts using blunt instruments, taxpajasked to make1a'genuine being asked to make a genuine contribution . and that's a contribution. and that's also a huge problem. contribution. and that's also a huge prolstuff. thanks for >> great stuff. thanks for joining us in the studio. elliott's at joining us in the studio. ellinaxpayers at joining us in the studio. ellinaxpayers alliance at joining us in the studio. ellinaxpayers alliance . at joining us in the studio. ellinaxpayers alliance . always the taxpayers alliance. always a pleasure. thanks for us pleasure. thanks forjoining us on joining me pleasure. thanks forjoining us on is joining me pleasure. thanks forjoining us on is philip joining me pleasure. thanks forjoining us on is philip blonde, ning me pleasure. thanks forjoining us on is philip blonde, formere now is philip blonde, former adviser david cameron. again, adviser to david cameron. again, thanks for joining us adviser to david cameron. again, thanks forjoining us on the thanks for joining us on the show, philip. thanks for coming

and talking to us. so we just heard there the problem with this kind of with the this kind of stuff with the british with the british public, with the taxpayer, concept of taxpayer, isn't the concept of saving the planet. everybody wants cleaner air. everybody wants cleaner air. everybody wants emissions. but when wants less emissions. but when it comes down to the nuts and bolts to individual bolts of the cost to individual taxpayers, we start to hit some resistance. and so my question to you is, when we see rishi sunak on the global stage at dubai giving away billions of pounds, do we really expect the pubuc pounds, do we really expect the public to fall into line behind him ? well, mean , he himself him? well, i mean, he himself said, you know, the uk makes up less than 1% of emissions. >> so what we do won't make any difference if china or the us don't get behind climate change transition. >> so i think that your point earlier that you were discussing, i think it's just very odd to try to make ordinary working class people on low or medium wages pay the cost for something that won't make any

difference. >> you know, keep pumps. you know, if you look at what the they're due to impose in scotland , very expensive will scotland, very expensive will push people into genuine not just fuel poverty but arguably poverty itself. this isn't this isn't a good way to proceed to reach a good end. however where i think it is merited, i think look, if you look at some of the figures for the consequence of climate change, you know , in climate change, you know, in africa, for instance , and across africa, for instance, and across the rest of the world, it will drive massive waves of migration . um, people offered a choice between dying or moving will move . and if we in the west move. and if we in the west don't want to face an unprecedented scales of migration, something that make the small boats look like a small issue, then it's beholden on to us invest in those

countries such that people have a genuine choice and can stay there and, and, and build a happy and prosperous lives . so happy and prosperous lives. so i think that is merited . and i think that is merited. and i also think there are other things on the agenda that are well worth doing. so they're talking about green tariffs that is places like china can produce steel, for example , without any steel, for example, without any of the rules that british steel is produced. according is forced to produce. um so that it's much more carbon intensive , uh, in more carbon intensive, uh, in china and because that comes at a lower cost, they can outcompete us in both domestic and world markets. well if cop28 introduced us tariffs, then we have a level playing field for our goods and our services and we're not making ourselves uncompetitive . so i think that uncompetitive. so i think that is to be welcomed . is to be welcomed. >> um, do you think china would even pay attention to such

things? i mean, they don't even go to cop 28, just cop 28 or the global organisation there in have any fangs to tackle china. i mean, you know, it's all fair. well saying china is the biggest polluter. we know that we know that india is one of the biggest polluters and yet they carry on regardless. and we seem we seem unable to tackle them or tax them and instead said net polluters were very marginal, very small, like the uk , the very small, like the uk, the taxpayer seems to be paying and this notion that we should pay african nations to stop them migrating to britain is a real brain bender. we have 745,000 coming here already. brain bender. we have 745,000 coming here already . you said coming here already. you said unprecedented migration. we already have that. so indeed . already have that. so indeed. explain that to me . explain that to me. >> and it's going to get worse . >> and it's going to get worse. so what i'm saying so you may raise very two very good points. you're quite right. these things don't have fangs, but what they don't have fangs, but what they do is they force western nations

into action. so green tariffs. the eu has already committed to this. the us is considering something on the back of the chips act and if western markets essentially impose carbon tariffs on material produced in china that produces more carbon, thatis china that produces more carbon, that is making the pollute a pay, that is making the pollute a pay, that is the only thing that will change chinese behaviour . will change chinese behaviour. and actually, if you look at the china plans, they plan to open 303, 300. i'll repeat it, coal fired stations by 2050. so it's going to get a lot worse. so it's very important that we start to have, if you like, a polluter wall around china, where we make sure they they don't they can't produce goods on our backs, if you will, by forcing us to pay green green costs, but ignoring them

themselves. secondly your point about migration. yes it's bad now, but it will be several orders of magnitude greater if we let states collapse due to essentially climate change and this will pale into insignificance if we're in the tens of thousands now, we'll be in the millions. tens of thousands now, we'll be in the millions . and that's in the millions. and that's something to avoid. >> okay . philip blonde, former >> okay. philip blonde, former adviser to david cameron , adviser to david cameron, somewhat apocalyptic version of the future . we could always try the future. we could always try just controlling our borders rather than giving billions to africa . i don't know. that's an africa. i don't know. that's an old fashioned notion . now, old fashioned notion. now, i just remind you once old fashioned notion. now, i just of remind you once old fashioned notion. now, i just of how1d you once old fashioned notion. now, i just of how1dyback1ce old fashioned notion. now, i just of how1d yback rishi more of just how far back rishi was during the family photo cop 28. you might need your binoculars for this in dubai earlier. as you can see. there he is. yep. right at the back , he is. yep. right at the back, standing on his orange box. just about envision in the field next doon about envision in the field next door. aren't you glad? £1.6 billion of british taxpayer money was given over for climate funding and there we are,

relegated to the bank. i don't know about you, but this gave me strong vibes a similar thing strong vibes of a similar thing that happened to former england left ashley cole , who, as left back ashley cole, who, as you can recall, you can see here when he was playing at roma , did when he was playing at roma, did the world's most awkward team shot. yeah, he is hoving into view on the left. he didn't want to be there. they didn't want him there. and i don't know. that just reminds me of rishi sunakin that just reminds me of rishi sunak in dubai today. call me a cynic now you are watching and listening to gb news. coming up, we'll be digesting all the fallout from matt hancock's covid grilling today where he claimed that rishi sunak would have put enormous pressure on bofis have put enormous pressure on boris johnson not to have an autumn lockdown. this and plenty more to bring you in just a moment. i'm martin daubney on gb news and this is britain's news channel

isabel monday to thursdays from six till 930 . six till 930. >> welcome back. 426 you're watching or listening to martin daubney on gb news bringing you all the latest until 6:00 pm. now matt hancock's face another grilling from the covid 19 inquiry today. and it looks like nicola sturgeon's not in the former health secretary's good books. former health secretary's good books . hancock accused the then books. hancock accused the then scottish first minister of communicating with the public in a way that was unhelpful during the pandemic. well, that's one way of putting it now . gb news way of putting it now. gb news political correspondent katherine forster has been

outside the inquiry in west london all day and finally has come into the studio to warm up . come into the studio to warm up. so tell us about today's panel. yesterday, hancock had an absolute nightmare with this care home protective ring business. did today get any better or is it just getting worse and worse for him? i wouldn't say today was better because today today we had the question from hugo keith, kc about his transgression , as he about his transgression, as he put it, which was basically when it emerged via the sun newspaper that he was having an affair with an aide . with an aide. >> there was pictures, there was video at a time when there were very clear social distancing rules brought in by the government, which he was blatantly breaking and of course, that was the end of his career and he's never recovered from that at all. on that, he was asked what effect that would have had on public confidence . have had on public confidence. and he did that what he's and he did say that what he's learnt is it's important that those who make the rules abide by them. and i resigned in to order take responsibility for my

failure to do that . and also failure to do that. and also he's not very keen on nicola sturgeon. shall we have a little look at what he had to say about her earlier? yes >> where a number of moments when the first minister of scotland would could communicate in a way that was unhelpful and confusing to the public. and sometimes would leave a meeting and begin communication of a decision. for instance , sooner decision. for instance, sooner than agreed . in contrast to my than agreed. in contrast to my warmth towards my health counterparts, we then found it much more difficult when decisions went up to first minister level, particularly with nicola sturgeon, because because we would find that sometimes a some kind of spin was put on what was essentially substantively the same decision.

so that was it was a frustration, i've got to be honest about it. >> yes . so honest about it. >> yes. so during the pandemic, there was a pattern that an agreement would be reached. and then, lo and behold, nicola sturgeon would go and announce it to the people of scotland . it to the people of scotland. and before she was supposed to. and before she was supposed to. and that obviously went down very badly. and we know, of course, to that. nicola sturgeon could not abide boris johnson, who of course was prime minister at the time. so all very difficult. but besides that and the questions about the affair , the questions about the affair, we got more on care homes, that notorious claim which i think we knew to be a fantasy, a long time ago that they'd put a protective ring around them, despite the fact that we knew they were sending people home from from hospital that were covid positive, back into care homes and that care home workers were going from home to home, and some of them would have been spreading it. now matt hancock said that he had tried to get

that practice of workers going to homes banned, but he to multiple homes banned, but he hadnt to multiple homes banned, but he hadn't been able to. and he was quizzed in great detail about the care homes and he was forced to admit, first of all, they hadnt to admit, first of all, they hadn't they hadn't understood. i guess it's fair enough, because it was it was a different virus to what they're expecting. they hadnt to what they're expecting. they hadn't really understood exactly what on at the what was going on at the beginning the pandemic. they beginning of the pandemic. they hadnt beginning of the pandemic. they hadn't and we hadn't had enough ppe and we know that care homes often had paid for ppe early in the pandemic, and then they not only did they not get it, it was requisitioned by the nhs , which requisitioned by the nhs, which was given priority . so some of was given priority. so some of the most vulnerable people in our society were left completely, completely exposed . completely, completely exposed. >> and i think that is the true tragedy. i spoke to a gentleman yesterday, charles persinger, who lost , lost yesterday, charles persinger, who lost, lost his yesterday, charles persinger, who lost , lost his wife yesterday, charles persinger, who lost, lost his wife and his mother to covid. and i put it put it to him about this protective ring being non—existent. i said, how do you feel? and he said, i feel heartbroken . can hancock ever heartbroken. can hancock ever recover from any of this? i

mean, he's already you know, the persona non grata of british politics, but this is just makes it and worse. politics, but this is just makes it i and worse. politics, but this is just makes it i honestly and worse. politics, but this is just makes it i honestly we and worse. politics, but this is just makes it i honestly we shouldn't rse. politics, but this is just makes it i honestly we shouldn't make >> i honestly we shouldn't make predictions in politics, but i would predict that matt hancock's political career is over because , first of all, he over because, first of all, he had to go in disgrace. there's understandably a huge amount of pubuc understandably a huge amount of public anger, especially from people who lost loved ones who were not able to say goodbye to dying relatives . i mean, dying relatives. i mean, horrendous . then, of course, he horrendous. then, of course, he lost the conservative whip because he went into the jungle. they weren't happy about that. he wrote his pandemic diaries and it was stressed by hugo keith kc yesterday. they weren't diaries. he called them diaries, but they weren't because basically they were reconstructed into a diary form after by a journalist after the event, by a journalist, isabel oakeshott, who subsequent then revealed all the dirt down the line. and he was obviously very angry. so obviously he wants to rehabilitate himself and he is

he was accused of having nuclear levels of confidence by by helen macnamara from the cabinet office a couple of weeks ago. but he clearly feels that he did his best and certainly the circumstances were horrendous . circumstances were horrendous. >> can i interject and just say , >> can i interject and just say, is there a shred of remorse , a is there a shred of remorse, a shred of decency from hancock over this? or is he just trying to deflect and woe betide me, i must say , i didn't hear any must say, i didn't hear any words of apology . words of apology. >> i think it was striking that the other day the levelling up secretary, michael gove, was giving evidence and he did apologise. he said , you know, apologise. he said, you know, we're human, we make mistakes, but he did say, sorry , i don't but he did say, sorry, i don't think we've heard that from matt hancock. not that that would bnng hancock. not that that would bring anybody's loved ones back, but i think sorry would be something. and a word that was certainly lacking today . certainly lacking today. >> okay, katherine forster, thank you for that update from the covid inquiry you are

tickets . now, we know over the tickets. now, we know over the past few weeks this there has been some tension brewing between the two clubs because the uefa rules state in these european competitions means that visiting fans are entitled to 5% of the stadium's capacity . for of the stadium's capacity. for aston villa here, that meant initially there was an allocation of just over 2000 tickets. advice tickets. but following advice from the safety advisory group, which involves westminster police , aston villa, health and police, aston villa, health and safety, all authorities as well. it was advised, particularly from the point of the police, that the historic nature that given the historic nature of the violence that we have seen from legia warsaw fans over just couple of months, just the past couple of months, particularly an incident in the netherlands when they played the uefa conference league game against ak alkmaar. they caused some serious harm to some dutch police officers there because of that in the that incident in the netherlands, uefa had also banned legia warsaw fans from attending the next away fixture in bosnia as well. so this was the first game that the fans will be able to return to following advice from

happen. uefa needs grow happen. uefa needs to grow a pair need deal with pair and they need to deal with this. they're always dishing out advice and chastising particularly british clubs. but this is the real problem here. these lads, wherever they go, they're causing trouble. they need to be booted out of this tournament. they to be tournament. they need to be booted europe . they won't booted out of europe. they won't change where it change until they hit where it huns change until they hit where it hurts hardest, and that hurts them the hardest, and that is wallet and the club's is in the wallet and the club's coffers . then the club might coffers. then the club might take some responsibility. and isn't it funny how football hoougans isn't it funny how football hooligans ? it's called the hooligans? it's called the engush hooligans? it's called the english disease and yet we're seeing far worse now. often times in eastern europe. and they specify basically came to birmingham last night trying to kick off with villa fans. they were prevented from doing so by brave police . and the media brave police. and the media always so keen to put the boot into the british, especially engush into the british, especially english football hooligans , the english football hooligans, the far right extremists , thugs, far right extremists, thugs, racists , they call them all the racists, they call them all the time . and yet these lads came to

time. and yet these lads came to birmingham last night trying to cause a confrontation. perhaps the real problem isn't the engush the real problem isn't the english disease. perhaps it's an east european disease. and if you wait for stands for anything they've got to stamp this out and boot this club out of this tournament. at the very least, with massive on top just with massive fines on top just my opinion. okay you're watching and listening to gb news. coming up, it's been reported that buckingham palace is considering legal after members legal action after two members of family have been of the royal family have been named race row. this and named in that race row. this and much more. i'm martin daubney on gb news. and this is britain's news

sunday mornings from 930 on . gb news. >> hello, i'm alex deakin. this is your latest weather update from the met office for gb news the cold spell will continue through this weekend . the risk through this weekend. the risk of icy conditions tonight of some icy conditions tonight and tomorrow morning and a few fog patches as low fog patches as well. low pressure continues to dominate, but there's not a lot of isobars on charts, it's not too on the charts, so it's not too windy. the breeze is coming windy. but the breeze is coming down from the north, bringing the colder air and it will be a cold night tonight wherever we've got showers over parts of eastern england, southwest scotland or northern scotland, there is the chance of things turning and showers turning icy and those showers will some snow mixed in. will have some snow mixed in. we'll also have watch for we'll also have to watch out for some fog patches the some fog patches over the midlands of midlands. eastern parts of england dense. england could be quite dense. those fog patches and temperatures 3 or 4 temperatures widely 3 or 4 degrees below freezing . and degrees below freezing. and that's in towns and cities, rural spots even lower. so a hard frost in the morning still a potential for some icy conditions as well. and some thick, stubborn fog patches,

particularly over the midlands, could take most of the day to clear a few more showers coming into south—west scotland . into south—west scotland. there'll be a mixture of rain, sleet and snow, mostly rain showers and south—west showers for wales and south—west england. but most places actually just having a fine, bright cold winter's day with temperatures struggling to get much above 1 or 2 degrees for most could see a little most of us could see a little bit rain, and snow most of us could see a little bit inain, and snow most of us could see a little bit in across and snow most of us could see a little bit in across the nd snow most of us could see a little bit in across the midlands, coming in across the midlands, southern england on saturday night. that'll slowly clear away and then down to the south—west, more weather in more wet weather pushes in late in that could also have in the day that could also have some mixed in further some snow mixed in further north. stays dry bright north. it stays dry and bright for part, pretty for the most part, but pretty much everywhere. cold . much everywhere. cold. >> welcome back. we can bring you some quick breaking news. live pictures now from the israel gaza border. you can see there the iron dome deploying reconnaissance against rockets coming in, presumably from hamas. so that's deployed to intercept rockets in the air as they fly into israel . this has

they fly into israel. this has been going on now for the last 4 or 5 minutes. you can see a substantial amount of defence is being deployed . of course, that being deployed. of course, that is to take down those rockets, to intercept them , to stop them to intercept them, to stop them getting to israeli targets . it's getting to israeli targets. it's been happening now for the past 4 or 5 minutes. okay okay. moving on, the identities of two senior royals said to have commented on the colour of prince archie's skin were published in the dutch translation of endgame . the new translation of endgame. the new book, of course, by omid scobie. and it's now been reported that the palace is considering legal action following the leak. as author scobie is frustrated that the names were included in the book as well. if you believe that joining me now is royal and showbiz reporter kinsey schofield kinsey , always schofield kinsey, always a pleasure to speak to you. my darling. look here we have it. we've been talking about it for days. does his story stack up? why on earth would a translator

version contain something that's not in any of the other versions? this is starting to feel like a work of total fantasy , right? fantasy, right? >> i think that that's a very good point. and we've recently heard from the dutch translator that those names were included in the manuscript that she received to translate. so she's arguing? absolutely not. no, i did not add these names into this book. this was handed to me. i translated it from english to dutch. and she says, this is my livelihood. you're putting my job in jeopardy by by, you know, arguing that this just mysteriously appeared within the dutch version of omid scobie's endgame . so it is suspicious . endgame. so it is suspicious. it's been suspicious from day one. and i think i'm most irritated by the fact that last night when omid was pressed by the bbc asking if he would like to apologise to the members of the royal family that have been accused of this horrible

incident, he he said no , he was incident, he he said no, he was inconvenienced. he was frustrated because he was so proud of this book and he wanted to know what happened . you know, to know what happened. you know, if you were a real man and you had any sort of empathy whatsoever, you would go on television and say, i don't know what happened, but i'm so greatly you know, sorry that i've put anyone in this position. yeah but he's not he's not a real man in that sense, is he? >> he's he's a narcissist who seems to be flaring up public opinion for hard cash. it's pubuc opinion for hard cash. it's public knowledge . now, who the public knowledge. now, who the two names are. i don't want to name them because i just don't want to add to it. and i don't even believe this was a race round. when you look at the actual translation, it talks about potential unconscious bias. so even the leak has been revved up beyond the actual foundation of any credibility . foundation of any credibility. did any of this ever happen or is this just cruel concoction for . money for. money >> i think that if we have

learned anything over the last few years, it's that harry and meghan are in extremely insecure individual souls. they are sensitive and that i think that if anything transpired, it was likely an innocent statement that like a game of telephone , that like a game of telephone, meghan openly says in the oprah interview , it wasn't said around interview, it wasn't said around her. she heard it from a third party. you know , i think that party. you know, i think that she misinterpreted something or was being overly sensitive about a comment that was made that every we all you know, chris rock did that famous stand—up not too long ago, probably last yean not too long ago, probably last year, where he said every interracial couple has this conversation, every interracial family has this conversation. well, have your eyes, whatever. so i think that that harry and meghan exaggerate when they feel hurt, they feel hurt. meghan exaggerate when they feel hurt, they feel hurt . quite hurt, they feel hurt. quite often they're insecure and that this probably wasn't as explosive live as it's being described as . described as. >> so, kinsey, the palace are

saying we are exploring all options, which is a very regal way of saying we're going to take our time and think about it. but what do you think they will a lot of people would will do? a lot of people would like scobie get like to see omid scobie get a right royal walloping in the courts. they'd like to see him sued slander. they'd like to sued for slander. they'd like to see bankrupted, put out of see him bankrupted, put out of business up forever. do business and shut up forever. do you that ? no you think they'll do that? no i don't think that they will do that. >> but martin, i'm on that. i'm on. you know, i think that that's one of the first things i said. i think that if this is not true, it's so hurtful and it's damaging. of it's so damaging. and one of those go down those stories that will go down in history, whether it's true or not, now, these two individuals are bruised . so, i mean, i would are bruised. so, i mean, i would be pro taking legal action. i'd be pro taking legal action. i'd be pro taking legal action. i'd be pro stripping harry and meghan of their titles and severing all ties, because i think harry and meghan have proven to be extremely distraught , active towards the distraught, active towards the royal family and, you know, they jeopardise they are a liability. they jeopardise the future of the monarchy . the monarchy. >> and no idea how this is

translating out in sales . >> and no idea how this is translating out in sales. i mean, the book was serialised and leaked for weeks in advance of its publication. we're talking about stuff that weren't in some versions and were in others . was enough left for others. was enough left for people to buy this. and also the general mood that precipitated certainly in britain is a lot of people are very, very angry with this guy . yet will it still sell this guy. yet will it still sell anyidea this guy. yet will it still sell any idea of how it's been selling ? selling? >> you know, i haven't been able to find out that information yet, but i think the ultimate objective here is to cater to an american audience and for omid to be able to move to the united states and be the american royal commentator or the american, you know, reporter to move over, buddy here, i am. but i think that that's his ultimate objective. so he doesn't care if he frustrates people in your neck of the woods because he's utilising this as a platform to move to the united states because , as he said himself, because, as he said himself, prince william has cut off all

of his access to real working royals. and, you know, he's blown through several jobs since harry and meghan have moved to the united states. and the release of finding freedom. is that because as he's lost access to those real working royals, i think this is a last ditch effort. it's an act of desperate action. and it's just a book that's full of four years worth of regurgitated headlines . of regurgitated headlines. >> okay, kinsey schofield thank you very much for joining us >> okay, kinsey schofield thank you very much forjoining us on you very much for joining us on the show. it's always a pleasure to speak to you. thank you very much. now, it's the 1st of december. may notice , which december. you may notice, which means the beginning means for many is the beginning of the run to the holiday of the run up to the holiday season yesterday, sunak season. yesterday, rishi sunak unveiled downing street's christmas tree . 3 to 1 who and christmas tree. 3 to 1 who and what a whopper it is. but the festive spirit can not be said for the residents of the coastal town of deal in kent . after town of deal in kent. after locals mocked this year's effort. look at it . it looks

effort. look at it. it looks like a sprig . many claim the like a sprig. many claim the tree was under whelming, which is an underwhelming way of stating it, and has left kent council county council embarrassed deal councillor kevin mills has insisted that a bigotry has been ordered that won't be hard and will be replaced as a matter of urgency andindeed replaced as a matter of urgency and indeed peter marsh, who has lived in deal for 13 years, said you can get bigger trees in pound land. you can. i've seen them bigger than that in poundland. that's the worst christmas tree i've ever seen . christmas tree i've ever seen. it looks like the sort of tree you'd see in the skip behind bank that's been thrown away because it's just not worthy of being flogged. and yet it was on sale in deal. merry christmas . sale in deal. merry christmas. we've got plenty more to bring you in just a moment, including all the very latest on rishi's reaction to cop 28 announcement. and we'll be debating should we have a referendum on net zero? this and much more. i'm martin daubney on gb news and this is

impressed with the government's pledges . pledges. >> every country needs to do more across the globe and that includes the uk . we have done includes the uk. we have done some good things but we need to lead by the power of example , lead by the power of example, not use that as a reason for going no further. not use that as a reason for going no further . this is a huge going no further. this is a huge obugafion going no further. this is a huge obligation for britain because many people watching this will be struggling with their bills. they want their energy bills to go down quite understandably, the only way they go down for goodisif the only way they go down for good is if we transition to renewable . renewable. >> as king charles is there, too, he told the summit. the hope of the world rests on decisions taken by those at the gathering. >> with what we are witnessing, our choice now is a starker. >> with what we are witnessing, our choice now is a starker . and our choice now is a starker. and darker one. how dangerous are we actually prepared to make our world do ? dealing with this is

world do? dealing with this is a job for us all. change will come by working to embrace decisions that will sustain our world rather rather than carry on as though there are no limits . though there are no limits. >> well, the prime minister has also been asked about the row with greece over the elgin marbles. he denies throwing what has been described as a hissy fit after cancelling a bilateral meeting with his greek counterpart earlier on this week , rishi sunak saying that greece needs to accept that the uk owns ancient sculptures. but athens argues that they were acquired illegally . israel's defence illegally. israel's defence forces say they've struck over 200 terror targets since hamas violated the terms of the pause in fighting locations in the north and south of gaza have been hit, including operational command centres. the week long truce collapsed after hamas fired a rocket in the early hours of this morning. mediators from qatar and egypt are working to try to continue the release

of hostages. us secretary of state antony blinken saying that israel had no choice but to retaliate. >> it came to an end because of hamas . hamas. >> hamas reneged on commitments it made. >> in fact, even before the pause came to an end, it committed an atrocious terrorist attack in jerusalem , killing attack in jerusalem, killing three people, wounding others, including americans. it began firing rockets before the pause had ended . had ended. >> the former health secretary says he was warned in april 2020 about the need for focussed covid testing in care homes. matt hancock told the uk covid 19 inquiry there was not as much testing in care homes as many would have wanted because the uk simply did not have enough tests. he also said the rule of six and tiers didn't go far enough to help stop the spread of the virus , as mr hancock of the virus, as mr hancock accused former pm boris johnson of being not willing to go further in terms of national restrictions. back in the autumn of 2020 and said the government should have acted more swiftly .

should have acted more swiftly. well, members of aslef have voted overwhelmingly to continue strike action for the next six months in their ongoing dispute over pay. the announcement comes as members at 16 train companies are refusing to work overtime from today until next saturday. the companies said they will operate as many trains as possible, but some areas may have no services. the union has blamed the government for not negotiating . the rail delivery negotiating. the rail delivery group says drivers have been offered a £5,000 pay rise, which would take their salaries to 60 5ka year. this is gb news across the uk on tv , in your car, on the uk on tv, in your car, on digital radio and on your smart speaker by saying play gb news. now let's get back to . martin now let's get back to. martin >> thank you, ray . top man. now, >> thank you, ray. top man. now, the prime minister has been at cop 28 in dubai, where he urged other countries to step up as the uk leads by example .

the uk leads by example. apparently this is what rishi had to say . had to say. >> i'm here at cop 28 with two clear messages . as first, the clear messages. as first, the world needs to do more to tackle climate change. we've made real progress, including at the glasgow summit. but the climate science and mounting evidence of climate related disasters show that we're not moving quickly or effectively enough. so i'm calling on major emitters to draghi emphatically accelerate delivery on what they've already promised . everyone can do more . promised. everyone can do more. and let's be very clear the uk is leading the charge and we're absolutely committed to our net zero targets. we've already decarbonised faster than any other major economy. our emissions are down 48% since 1990 compared to limited cuts from others and a 300% increase from others and a 300% increase from china . we're also one of from china. we're also one of the largest climate donors because we want to help those suffering. the impacts of climate change. my pledge from september of £1.6 billion for the green climate fund was the

uk's biggest single climate change commitment, and we're going further announcing . £1.6 going further announcing. £1.6 billion today for renewable energy , green innovation and energy, green innovation and forests . delivering on the forests. delivering on the historic glasgow deal to end deforestation because we can't tackle climate change without nature. we're also leveraging the genius of the city of london to deliver billions more in private finance. again the uk is leading by example and we need others to step up because my second message is this . as second message is this. as i said in september , we won't said in september, we won't tackle climate change unless we take people with us. climate politics is close to breaking point. the british people care about the environment. they know that the costs of inaction are intolerable. but they also know that we have choices about how we act. so yes, we'll meet our targets. but we'll do it in a more pragmatic way, which doesn't burden working people.

we've scrapped plans on heat pumps and energy efficiency , pumps and energy efficiency, which would have cost families thousands of pounds. will help people to improve energy efficiency and cut bills . but we efficiency and cut bills. but we won't force them to . we'll won't force them to. we'll support nature across the uk . support nature across the uk. just this week i announced a huge new effort with 34 landscape recovery projects. a new national park and more , and new national park and more, and will harness the opportunities of technology and green industry to deliver net zero in a way that benefits the british people. and today i can share more proof on the progress that we're making . more proof on the progress that we're making. i'm more proof on the progress that we're making . i'm pleased to we're making. i'm pleased to announce a new deal between mad star and rwc, which includes a commitment to jointly invest up to £11 billion into the uk's new wind farm at dogger bank, which will be the biggest in the world. this is a huge boost for uk renewables, creating more jobs, helping to power 3 million homes and increasing our energy

security . security. >> so there we go. rishi's mad for it. can't wait to give billions away to the rest of the world on the topic of net zero. but do you remember being consoled ? do you remember consoled? do you remember voting for of this? the big for any of this? the big question today and our debates is ding dong on is a good old ding dong on a friday is this. is it time for a referendum on net zero? well, joining me now is andrew montford, deputy director of net zero watch and jim dale , senior zero watch and jim dale, senior meteorologist at british weather services. good afternoon, gentlemen . it's always a gentlemen. it's always a pleasure to see you. andrew. let's start with you . a lot of let's start with you. a lot of us would agree that the cost of saving the planet is a great thing, but the cost was never made public to us. and now those figures are emerging . the figures are emerging. the government's own figures, £1.4 trillion to hit the target of net zero by 2050. that equates to five grand every year for every british household until 2050. now, the true who horror of this is emerging. i put it to

you , if people were given the you, if people were given the chance , should we go for chance, should we go for a brexit style in—out referendum on net zero? >> well , there's a there's a lot >> well, there's a there's a lot to unpack there. i think the answer from me is that, no, we probably don't want a referendum on net zero because because the pubuc on net zero because because the public has been misled for so long. i think we need quite a lot longer for the facts to come out. >> you say the cost of net zero is going to be 1.4. i think it was actually £1.5 trillion was the official estimate it. >> but in fact, that relied on on us having offshore wind at a price roughly half of what the secretary of state for energy has promised to wind farms going forward. >> so net zero is going to be hugely more expensive than than we've been told. >> that fact , i think needs to >> that fact, i think needs to needs to sink in. the other thing is that people don't understand that the costs of net

zero far outweigh the benefits. climate change is a relatively small problem . small problem. >> the there was an estimate put together for the climate change committee . the government's committee. the government's official advisers that that suggest that the harms would be about 10 to £20 billion a year and it looks as though we're going to be spending five times as much or more trying to prevent that harm. >> i mean, this is madness. >> i mean, this is madness. >> jim dale, now , the truth is >> jim dale, now, the truth is emerging of the cost to the vote. do you think they should be allowed to have a say on the matter ? m atter? >> matter? >> no, i, i agree with andrew in terms of the net zero vote, i think it's kind of old news before it even gets there. >> it's not going to happen even if it did happen, it would be a it would be passed very easily, according to all the polls in terms of the climate thing. but i bnng terms of the climate thing. but i bring a i want to bring you back a little bit. andrew said climate change is small thing. i don't

change is a small thing. i don't know whether he's where he's been for the last sort of ten years, particularly the last two years, particularly the last two years, living in a cave or something. >> let quote you. let me >> let me quote you. let me quote king charles. i don't often do this, but i will. >> we are dreadfully far off track on climate . track on climate. >> you use the word dread dreadfully. i think he actually meant that. you also used the word starker, darker world. he's actually sending out a message amongst . the i'm going to put amongst. the i'm going to put this 197 countries that are represented there, virtually the entire world. >> and is andrew saying nothing exists ? so, you know, climate exists? so, you know, climate change is a huge, huge thing. >> i know perfectly well we're behind the ballpark on this one. we really need to move a lot, lot quicker . we really need to move a lot, lot quicker. but hate to say this and i said this maybe four years ago in a book i wrote and i said, you know, the titanic had already hit the iceberg and the iceberg is sinking. >> and that's that's the point. >> and that's that's the point. >> we have to change the titanic, turn it around as quickly as we can and go in a

different direction. >> otherwise. >> otherwise. >> and you'll see it coming in 2024. a little prediction ahead of time that there will be more catastrophes across the world because of the way climate because of the way the climate is now moving. >> i think it's a bit rich, >> but i think it's a bit rich, jim, for like king jim, for people like king charles to say the world will be starker and darker when we pay his gas bill and the point of the matter is things like cop 28 are basically billionaires, millionaires, elites , millionaires, elites, politicians, celebrities , politicians, celebrities, lovers, oil barons. this time it's in the united arab emirates telling us that we need to turn our heating off. we need to stop driving our cars . we need to be driving our cars. we need to be colder. we need to be poorer. and yet none of us were ever given the chance to voice our opinion on this. andrew, i put it you again. surely if a it to you again. surely if a political party were to come to the and say , we the electoral stump and say, we will offer a referendum on will offer you a referendum on this, be a popular choice. >> i think what it i'd really like to see is a political party. >> we've lost them. okay? we've still got jim.

>> yeah. you have martin. >> yeah. you have martin. >> jim, you're still there. so let's let's you can take that one, mate, if this were to come to be a political choice, surely a lot of people would for a lot of people would vote for it it's okay. prince it because as it's okay. prince charles king charles beg your pardon? saying thing. the pardon? saying one thing. the fact these fact of the matter is these policies are hitting the poorest, hardest . they're poorest, the hardest. they're the can't afford new the ones who can't afford new boilers they're who boilers. they're the ones who can't electric vehicle can't afford an electric vehicle . they're ones who are . and they're the ones who are paying . and they're the ones who are paying to drive paying £125 a day to drive their . if they given their cars. if they were given a chance, they wouldn't think the same king charles. same way as king charles. >> i think that's the script of one of the political parties that that are that are out there that are getting the vote at getting about 8% of the vote at this in time. think we this moment in time. i think we know they are. know who they are. >> they won't come into >> um, and they won't come into government and so this, this is not going to happen. >> but but look, look, let's look other side of look at the other side of that because cost, the impact because the cost, the impact costs. a city costs. deloitte, which is a city firm, well—recognized , uh, firm, well—recognized, uh, suggests that in the next 50 years that climate change as it stands at this moment is going to cost the world 178 trillion, trillion dollars. and if we do

nothing , another 44 trillion on nothing, another 44 trillion on top of that. so that's going to come out of people's back pockets in more ways than one in the catastrophes that occur . and the catastrophes that occur. and some of those catastrophes as we've seen this year, to a certain degree , not everything certain degree, not everything associated climate change, associated with climate change, but nonetheless, floods but nonetheless, the floods that have uk have occurred in the uk unprecedented in certain areas, that's only going to continue. and so you know, there has to be a marker in the sand here and i'm hopeful that what goes behind the scenes and perhaps what you don't see too much of on cop 28 will start to deliver a little bit more of that. i feel already days at day two or day one, whichever day it is, that it's actually moving in the right direction . sunak talks the right direction. sunak talks the talk . he walks some of the walk, talk. he walks some of the walk, but he's just fell off a plank in terms of where he's going with this. so look, general elections are going to come if you want to vote in a certain direction and feel very passionate about climate change, then there are parties out there that will that will take your

voice and carry it, no matter which way you feel on that. and i think all know and look, i think we all know and look, climate will be a mountain. climate massive , climate will be a massive, massive, um , subject at the at massive, um, subject at the at the general election . i think we the general election. i think we all have the chance to vote in whichever direction we wish, but i'm pretty sure i know which direction that will go and to bnng direction that will go and to bring you back in. >> now i think we have you back. so point this , know, so the point is this, you know, is response ability of is it the response ability of first world nations like the united kingdom to throw endless billions of pounds into this global international climate fund to try and stop climate change, if indeed we even can in because if we don't , then the because if we don't, then the alternative will be far , far alternative will be far, far worse. that seems to be what we're being sold. yeah >> so it's the problem we have is that anything we do is pretty much irrelevant . much irrelevant. >> but there is no clean energy transition taking place across the world. >> renewables have gone from something like 13% of global

energy . in 1970 to about 14% energy. in 1970 to about 14% today. it just isn't happening because countries like india and china are digging up as much coal as they possibly can and burning it because their people are in great poverty . are in great poverty. >> and this improves their lives enormously. >> so the benefits are enormous for them and far outweigh the costs . but i think for us, it's costs. but i think for us, it's more about politic virtue signalling. so rishi sunak not going to going and giving away a load of money that that makes him feel good. it's probably , him feel good. it's probably, you know, he may feel it's good for what is left of his political career , but but for political career, but but for us, it makes no difference at all as we go into the election, we are probably going to have very little choice. labour and conservatives are both are both tied to the net zero agenda, but but they can't go on on the

economics and the physics are going to catch up with them. the physics is that renewables don't work and the economics is that they are far too expensive . so they are far too expensive. so they are far too expensive. so the result is going to be that the result is going to be that the economy is going to get into big, big trouble . uh, at which big, big trouble. uh, at which point public opinion will turn against net zero in a big way. and then we'll see big change. so coming back to your original question, we probably don't need the referendum because things are going to change anyway. >> okay , gentlemen, i'm afraid >> okay, gentlemen, i'm afraid we have to leave it there. good old dong. thank you very old ding dong. thank you very much. deputy much. andrew montford, deputy director watch and director of net zero. watch and jim good friend of the jim dale, a good friend of the show, meteorologist at show, senior meteorologist at british weather services. let us know what you think. i mean, i don't think we'll get a referendum it because every referendum on it because every time they give us one, they lose and give us and they don't want to give us more democracy. think that's and they don't want to give us morrealmocracy. think that's and they don't want to give us morreal reason y. think that's and they don't want to give us morreal reason we're nk that's and they don't want to give us morreal reason we're going|t's the real reason we're going won't get one. just point won't get one. just my point now, time. now, just one last time. i wanted to remind you once more of how far back was of just how far back rishi was dunng of just how far back rishi was during family photo at cop

during the family photo at cop 28 in dubai. you can see, if 28 in dubai. as you can see, if you get your binoculars out. yes there he is right on the back row, standing an box row, standing on an orange box almost in the next pose code. aren't you glad that you gave £1.6 billion of british taxpayer for money climate funding and they stuck him at the back ? they stuck him at the back? rishi, no mates. i mean, look , rishi, no mates. i mean, look, you can get a better photograph if you pay £100 and go and see your favourite band. you get a better selfie than that £1.6 billion for that. now you may remember a similar thing happened to former england left back ashley cole, who, as you can see here, when he was playing at roma. yeah. look he's hoving into view. on the left, ashley cole didn't want to be there. roma didn't want him to be there . he's standing be there. he's standing awkwardly on the end with really bad energy and one of the most mean photographs of all time. and i just think that's what it feels like when rishi goes to these cop summits. he was on the back yeah these cop summits. he was on the back year. row back row last year. the back row this billions of pounds. this year, billions of pounds. and sort of treat him. and they sort of treat him. i think, bit of contempt. think, with a bit of contempt.

and i'm asking you, what and really, i'm asking you, what do you think out of this? do you think we get out of this? is the would you is it worth the money? would you like these like to get out of these arrangements? would a arrangements? would you like a referendum zero? let referendum on net zero? let me know. vaiews@gbnews.com. now you're watching and listening to gb news. coming up, working class audiences shock, horror find the bbc two politically correct, but that's according to a study by ofcom, the research also finds its portrayal of working class characters can be stereotypical or tokenist like. we'll be discussing that next. i'm martin daubney on gb news and we are britain's news channel.

that i knew had dewbs& co weeknights from six . weeknights from six. >> welcome back . 525 i'm martin >> welcome back. 525 i'm martin daubney and this is gb news. our next story working class audiences find the bbc too politically correct. and that's according to a study by ofcom . according to a study by ofcom. the research also found that its portrayal of working class characters can be stereotypical or tokenism . mic now join me to or tokenism. mic now join me to go through this now is danny kelly, the former journalist. he's not former. he is a journalist. danny, you're there. hello mate. so look, this probably come as absolutely no surprise to you. 55% of the working classes had a positive opinion of the bbc. and they said often the content was too dry, too serious , cringey, safe , dry, too serious, cringey, safe, politically correct, especially the comedy. apart from that ,

the comedy. apart from that, they absolutely loved it. danny. does this ring true with you , does this ring true with you, martin? >> i spent 15 years behind the microphone at the bbc in birmingham at a radio station which was once great before it got infiltrated by the mind virus. as elon musk labels it before it went totally woke. they were the halcyon days of broadcasting. so i can speak from a regional level as a bbc broadcaster and i can also speak as a working class individual , as a working class individual, having had my own successful business away from broadcasting for the last 1215 years. yeah, we had a heyday, halcyon days when people were allowed to have opinions, when they weren't castigated as brexity or racist , castigated as brexity or racist, when calls weren't censored . when calls weren't censored. believe it or not, martin regularly , i would get regularly, i would get frustrated with my team of telephone answers as to why they weren't putting callers on because they were deemed in class. written off as class. they were written off as working class racists and they weren't. they just had differing views to the very liberal middle class management. and that's the

problem. martin certainly on a regional basis, made that the working class middle class liberal sorry, forgive me , the liberal sorry, forgive me, the middle class, liberal management , they decide what is appropriate and what is acceptable for output. and they also have a very low bar when it comes to defining what the word racism is. so working racism is. so white working class and i'm including the word white deliberately white, working individuals are working class individuals are not really cared for. working class individuals are not really cared for . the bbc not really cared for. the bbc regionally and nationally martyred thereafter, a young, diverse audience. i also remember that in two thousand and seven, the bbc created they even had actors who were suing dave white middle class. sorry, forgive me, i'm getting my classes confused. white working class. sue and dave and everything. we did before we went on air, we were supposed to have a meeting to say what would sue what would say sue and what would dave say about she worked about this article? she worked in a school and he was a semi—retired plumber. can you imagine the bbc imagine now? martin the bbc saying they target white people, they would have cardiac sit down at wogan house, but that was the

case. >> and you know, i mean, i'm laughing, but i'm also sort of slowly weeping here, danny, because the fact of the matter is the sort of mindset that you're talking about there, i've lost output. okay, i'm going to keep banging on my point is this danny hits a nail on the head by by identifying the fact that the people who put the content together simply have no clue about who the working classes are. they've never really grown up those sort communities. up in those sort communities. they read about them. it's concept. and a consequence , concept. and as a consequence, that hive mind that we see at the bbc and i've worked at the bbc for a long time, i've appeared on all of their flagship political on flagship political programmes on question on question time, on newsnight, on politics live. and i've also been a contributor on most of their flagship shows across all their flagship shows across all their radio programmes and tv and i realised something years and i realised something years and years ago and that is this there's nobody like me works at the bbc, a coal miner's son from nottingham. everyone speaks with the same accent. everyone's got the same accent. everyone's got

the same accent. everyone's got the same mindset and danny kelly is joining us again now. danny, my point is this. i worked at the bbc for a long time as well as a contributor and i saw diversity on the surface. i saw lots of people who looked differently, but everybody thought the same . everybody had thought the same. everybody had the mindset . nobody on any the same mindset. nobody on any show i ever went on agreed with my politics. and i think that is why we get the output, because they all have the same worldview i >>i >> i remember >> i remember once >> i remember once there was a dunng >> i remember once there was a during the war before the brexit referendum, martin, there was someone who was a ukip supporter , and he was not allowed on air by a very left wing liberal remainer who was producing the show. and it was only because of the intervention of the news editor who said, put that caller on air. now, had the news editor not been knocking around the telephone room , then that telephone ops room, then that that caller wouldn't have had his or her views expressed. that was a regular i was was a regular thing. i was regularly told that we can't have him on because he's racist. and i would say, why ? why is and i would say, why? why is he

racist? saying ? and racist? what's he saying? and the be, well, he the answer would be, well, he says that he he's says that where he is, he's losing work to eastern europeans. and i would say, what the are you going on about? the hell are you going on about? he's just he's not racist. he's just a normal working man who's normal working class man who's trying to put food on the table for his family. he's got legitimate concerns about immigration. wouldn't immigration. yeah, he wouldn't be allowed on air, mate. it was scandalous at the time, and it probably is even worse. i lost my job. martin because i was a 50 year old white guy . and 50 year old white guy. and london and london said that the line—up was too old, too white. and this. martin they also and get this. martin they also said was old said the audience was too old and too white. i was the only freelancer . all the presenters freelancer. all the presenters were staff. the were staff. i was the sacrificial lamb. how the sacrificial lamb. how dare the bbc in london say that the audience are too old and too white. can't help ageing. white. people can't help ageing. people being white. people can't help being white. and course they reap what and of course they reap what they sow because they diversified the line—up mate. and of course, as you would imagine, the audience figures have halved. so they have literally halved. so they reap sow . they make reap what they sow. they make the they lie in it, and the bed, they lie in it, and ironically, love the bbc. ironically, i love the bbc. i don't want to see it defunded,

mate, does need to mate, but it really does need to have a look in the mirror because it's going down. the trajectory downwards and trajectory mate is downwards and it's a real tragedy. >> okay, danny, thanks for joining impassioned joining us. an impassioned display as thank display there, as ever. thank you very much, i'll speak you very much, champ. i'll speak to again soon. and also what to you again soon. and also what came in by the way, is came out in that by the way, is people are a bit off people are a bit hacked off about the massive pay packets of people lineker. people like gary lineker. there we watching we go. now you're watching and listening up , listening to gb news. coming up, we more to bring you listening to gb news. coming up, weour more to bring you listening to gb news. coming up, weour bumper more to bring you listening to gb news. coming up, weour bumper finale to bring you listening to gb news. coming up, weour bumper final half:)ring you listening to gb news. coming up, weour bumper final half hour you listening to gb news. coming up, weour bumper final half hour ofu in our bumper final half hour of the programme. don't the programme. so don't go anywhere. latest anywhere. but first, your latest news ray addison . news headlines with ray addison. >> thanks, martin. 531 our top stories, the prime minister says the world needs to do more to tackle climate change. addressing the cop 28 summit in dubal addressing the cop 28 summit in dubai, rishi sunak urged major polluting countries to follow the uk's example in slashing emissions. he also . announced emissions. he also. announced £1.6 billion for international climate finance and promised that the government's green policies will not hurt taxpayers

pockets. the pm was also asked about the row with greece over the elgin marbles . he denies the elgin marbles. he denies throwing what's been described as a hissy fit after cancelling as a hissy fit after cancelling a bilateral meeting with his greek counterpart earlier on this week. rishi sunak saying that greece needs to accept that the uk owns ancient sculptures , the uk owns ancient sculptures, but athens argues they were acquired illegally . israel's acquired illegally. israel's defence forces say they've struck over 200 terror targets since hamas violated the terms of the pause in fighting locations in the north and the south of the gaza strip have been hit, including operational command centres. the week long truce collapsed after hamas fired a rocket in the early hours of this morning, and members of aslef have voted overwhelmingly to continue strike action for the next six months in their ongoing dispute over pay. the announcement comes as members at 16 train companies refuse to work overtime from today until next saturday. the

okay. welcome back. you're watching or listening to martin daubney on gb news bringing you all the latest . until 6 pm. all the latest. until 6 pm. now. the uk gas network has hit full capacity as cold weather hits , and this is due to hits, and this is due to renewable energy failing to generate the power needed to heat the uk's home. that's right, freezing temperatures have meant that demand have soared as the chief executive of national gas says , demand from national gas says, demand from gas fired power station ins would be, quote, maxed out throughout the weekend . well, throughout the weekend. well, joining me now is brian katz, physicist and engineer. brian, does this mean basically that the lights are going to go out if we rely on renewables ? if we rely on renewables? because, of course, at the moment there's no wind when we needit moment there's no wind when we need it most . and it completely need it most. and it completely proves the thesis that we are reliant fossil fuels , like at reliant on fossil fuels, like at olympic , you're 100% reliant on olympic, you're 100% reliant on gas plus nuclear and burning woodchips at drax for dispatch able power, which means power.

>> you can rely on at any time, whether it's dark, the wind's not blowing or whatever. >> so, yes , you you have to have >> so, yes, you you have to have 100% backup for renewable . 100% backup for renewable. >> so why have the renewables at all when they cost twice as much anyway ? anyway? >> and especially as rich is saying we're going to make it no more expensive people. more expensive for people. >> mean , if you believe >> well, i mean, if you believe rishi today , just giving rishi sunak today, just giving away £1.6 billion in dubai and he's just backed an £11 billion win from off dogger bank. so what happens when the wind stops ? >> well, 7- >> well, it 7 >> well, it doesn't work. and basically it's wasted money because you've got the gas powered fire stations sitting there waiting to back it up. >> when it doesn't work , which >> when it doesn't work, which are costing us more because they're not being used the quickest way to do what we actually claim to want to do, which to reduce co2. if that which is to reduce co2. if that actually was problem , which it actually was a problem, which it isn't , is to go straight from isn't, is to go straight from gas to nuclear and nuclear and gas to nuclear and nuclear and gas are both unsubsidised and

cheap, dispatchable , which means cheap, dispatchable, which means they're available at any time , they're available at any time, at any level we want, as long as we build enough of them and why do you think it is, brian, that nuclear seems to be this this dirty secret, this elephant in the room? >> nobody really talks it >> nobody really talks about. it works countries works very well in countries like doesn't like france, but yet it doesn't seem to part of the portfolio seem to be part of the portfolio of uk. of the uk. >> well , there's a different >> well, there's a different there's a problem with with nuclear in particular. >> and gas, which is they don't make a lot of easy profits for the people who are who provide them. so the whole thing is a wonderful racket. it's a subsidy farming racket. the banks will give you money to build wind farms because you're guaranteed a huge profit from them by the pnces a huge profit from them by the prices that the government settles with the government just doubled its offer, more or less for wind farms because when they said to the providers , give us said to the providers, give us some wind farms at a sensible price, as as they call it, nobody bid . nobody bid. >> so the government said, oh, well, we got to meet our targets, we got to meet our targets, we got to meet our

target basically, the targets are of money to are to pass a lot of money to renewable , sorry, renewable farmers, sorry, subsidy farmers. >> not for it's not for the >> it's not for it's not for the people who using the electricity who our cost of living is who need our cost of living is basically being driven through the by the cost energy , the roof by the cost of energy, which everything we buy of which is in everything we buy of make course . >> of course. >> of course. >> okay. brian cap, physicist and engineer , we're going to and engineer, we're going to have to leave there. thanks have to leave it there. thanks for news. thank forjoining us on gb news. thank you now there's been you very much. now there's been a men primary a boom in men as primary caregivers, 1 in 14 men are now the main caregiver for their baby. a study has found that the father is now primarily raising their child in 7% cases, their child in 7% of cases, which might not sound like a lot, but it was 0.11. 20 years ago. well, i'm joined now in the studio by vincent mcgovern . he's studio by vincent mcgovern. he's a fatherhood and parenting expert and author of the war on dads and children and how to fight it and win. vincent, always a pleasure to see you. thank you. this is great news. okay. 7% is not a lot, but it's a great start. it's a great build. and it's indicative of a changing mindset for fathers,

especially at yourself. you're a stay at home dad. you brought your kids up. more and more dads want to be positive models want to be positive role models and get involved with their kids i >> -- >> this is a pattern that's follow in the scandinavian countries where nobody really passes much attention. who is raising the children? as long as this has been properly done and children benefit enormously from having a dad heavily involved in their lives, because when financial circumstances allow sometimes the mother increasingly is a professional, earn a lot of money earning more than the father. >> so it makes sense commercially that he is the primary carer doing other bits of work and what have you. >> and the children who are primarily reared by fathers seem to have a more outward going attitudes and more i don't want to say risk taking, but more willing to take chances and be less introverted . less introverted. >> and it's certainly true to say that there are still barriers. you mentioned scandinavia yeah. you scandinavia. yeah. and as you mentioned, there are there's equity, there's equality in paternity and maternity . but in

paternity and maternity. but in britain, we still find that blokes, dads get two weeks pay andifs blokes, dads get two weeks pay and it's £172 a week, whereas oftentimes mothers get much, much more 39, 39 weeks, 90% of their average weekly earnings. and so we still have a system that systemically fail , favours that systemically fail, favours the mother and discourages the father from being actively involved and forces them back to work. >> that is just the taxation as well . well. >> is plays a factor here. >> is plays a factor here. >> but the real discrimination , >> but the real discrimination, of course, is in the agencies when there's any difficulties in the marriage, who will do so much to facilitate the removal of the father , especially almost of the father, especially almost i feel if he's been the primary carer. >> so what the you have demonstrated there with the paternity maternity is just an example of the undercurrents that caused so much division and separating father from children with all the damage and metrics that demonstrates for children and in your book here, the war

on dads and children. >> hold that up. it's an excellent book. you talk about the family court system and how it prevents fathers from being actively involved, which shatters this illusion of the media concept of the wantaway dad, the feckless dad, the dad who couldn't care less, and actual fact, many decent fathers are being prohibited from being involved in their children's lives . lives. >> it is not so much the family courts alone who are the primary factor. it is a gateway agencies , the gateway to the family court is so heavily anti father . court is so heavily anti father. >> the domestic violence agency social workers, including the court, social workers, and that means that an enormous amount of decent fathers, once the accusations come in and the facilitated and promoted at taxpayers expense on a gender pattern only that that the absolutely decent father losing out. >> and what i feel so sick about is i have seen so many photographs of children before war and after the separation and the innocence is going out of their eyes. their eyes have

become hard. >> the childhood is been damaged , if not removed. >> also , there's a bit of >> and also, there's a bit of a war on the nuclear family in general , but there are many, general, but there are many, many measurable ways in your book that show us that children with actively involved fathers and mothers to parents are the best solution. and lots of ways we did a thing yesterday on knife crime and it's like 85% of men in prison grew up in fatherless homes. in a nutshell, would you like to see more fathers involved with kids? and how can we go about facilitating that? >> it's quite simple. >> it's quite simple. >> all we should do is copy the model across the channel. the scandinavian model, the finnish swedish model, scandinavian model, the finnish swedish model , where there's far swedish model, where there's far more father involvement with children. children don't consider the father to be has been , or they can't even mention been, or they can't even mention his name in the presence of the mother, you have far. in finland, for example, he had coalition government of five female and the normative female leaders and the normative assumption of 5050 because as they said, is for the children and society. we have to get rid

of the gender war and move towards what i call gender neutral and partial professionalism . by all means. professionalism. by all means. of course, quite often the mother will mother is the primary carer will remain carer. that's remain the primary carer. that's fine, children should fine, but the children should have less than their have no less than 35% of their free time with the fathers and the families , which is the fathers families, which is their family as well . their family as well. >> vincent mcgovern, the author of war dads children, of the war on dads and children, thank joining thank you very much for joining us on gb news. that's here for the let's hear for the dads. let's hear it for positive know, the dads. let's hear it for positidads know, the dads. let's hear it for positidads give know, the dads. let's hear it for positidads give great know, the dads. let's hear it for positidads give great outcomes good dads give great outcomes for let's it for for children. let's hear it for the coming yes, we'll the dads coming up. yes, we'll be discussing our man in the jungle, nigel farage, next. i'm martin daubney on gb news. and this is britain's news channel .

>> the people's channel, britain's news channel . britain's news channel. >> welcome back. 546 now, it's been 12 days since nigel farage hit our screens by landing in the i'm a celebrity jungle. and we've been following his ups and downs, of course, like a hawk. well, joining me now showbiz well, joining me now is showbiz reporter twomey. reporter rebecca twomey. rebecca, you think the rebecca, what do you think the future for nigel's journey future holds for nigel's journey ? he's been had testicles . ? he's been he's had testicles. they tried to drown him and there's another challenge tonight. i think the show needs it last night it was a tonight. i think the show needs it dull. last night it was a tonight. i think the show needs it dull. almost1ight it was a tonight. i think the show needs it dull. almost noddedvas a tonight. i think the show needs it dull. almost nodded off.a bit dull. almost nodded off. >> yeah, it has got a bit that way, isn't it interesting when you look got a bit you look at it's got a bit more bonng you look at it's got a bit more boring this because boring around this point because people this people are dropping out and this is when nigel has had is actually when nigel has had less less airtime. so make less and less airtime. so make of that. what you will. but i do think he makes the show a lot

of that. what you will. but i do think interesting,�*|e show a lot of that. what you will. but i do think interesting, particularlyyt more interesting, particularly with the way that he can hold himself account, know. with the way that he can hold him when account, know. with the way that he can hold him when he's)unt, know. with the way that he can hold him when he's been know. with the way that he can hold him when he's been questioned. but when he's been questioned about brexit and culture appropriation charleton that has made for very interesting viewing in terms of the trials that been doing, i do think that he's been doing, i do think he's actually come across really well, will probably annoy well, which will probably annoy some , but obviously some people, but obviously be applauded others . but when applauded by others. but when you what i think he's you think of what i think he's got the stamina to last in i'm a celebrity they have had very difficult this year. difficult conditions this year. they've a of rain. two they've had a lot of rain. two of the celebrities have already walked. they've left of their own on medical reasons. own accord on medical reasons. so it just shows that what kind of a strong character nigel is and how even though you can just see there in that trial , that see there in that trial, that water that he water based trial that he doesn't like doing, just how well he carried himself. and he you disappointed you know, he was disappointed that complete the that he didn't complete the trial, carrying trial, yet he's still carrying on with really positive energy . on with really positive energy. >> do we have any idea what tonight's trial is? because it's fair nigel fair to say nigel had the buoyancy of buoyancy of a cork in one. and i think he in that one. and i think he might regret having quite quite so his lung

so many gaspers. his lung capacity didn't look all that. so do we know what tonight's got in . rebecca's gone . i in store. rebecca's gone. i think. i think she. she's taken her own little jungle challenge . her own little jungle challenge. okay, well, we've got to move on because i've got someone right next to me. man may well next to me. a man you may well recognise. in fact, he to recognise. in fact, he used to sit when i was sit right here when i was honoured to take seat . and honoured to take his seat. and it's christys, of course. >> pat . how are mate? >> pat. how are you, mate? >> pat. how are you, mate? >> good. sniggering away >> good. are you sniggering away in the background? >> brilliant. >> i thought it was brilliant. i just it. you know, just really love it. you know, i must i've. must say, i've. >> i've. >> i've. >> of course not been watching. >> of course not been watching. >> indeed >> i'm a celebrity as indeed nobody should, because it happens rather inconveniently happens to rather inconveniently coincide with the exact time i'm on here at gb news. on air here at gb news. >> but look, tonight i just want to tease ahead to a little something that i've got, a little something. it's quite a big exclusive. so nigel is obviously about his obviously very private about his personal as indeed the personal life, as is indeed the woman closest to him, a lady called ferrari, who decided called law ferrari, who decided that she wanted to do an interview and speak out. >> a couple of reasons for it to try to dispel some of the

rubbish been written in rubbish that's been written in recent recent days recent weeks and recent days about recent weeks and recent days aboalso to her support for >> also to give her support for nigel. i met up nigel's nigel. so i met up at nigel's local her yesterday local boozer with her yesterday day and she set the record straight on a few things. that's going to be going out at half past ten tonight after i'm a celebrity's finished. not that anyone watching anyone will be watching it anyway, after i'm a celeb anyway, but after i'm a celeb was at 10:30, i believe was finished at 10:30, i believe i you just little i can play you just a little snippet of a couple of things that to be talking about. >> i've been reading all sorts of, nonsensical of, you know, nonsensical articles about me being a secret girlfriend. >> i'm a secret . girlfriend. >> i'm a secret. i'm here. >>— >> i'm a secret. i'm here. >> you know, i'm here. i work for nigel farage and he appointed me at these, you know , appointed me at these, you know, well paid. i didn't never did that. never worked for him. i'm not saying he's. he is going to do yeah yeah. but he would do it. yeah yeah. but he would be he would be a good prime minister. would that. minister. i would say that. and i do a job i think he would do a good job at to say , that's >> i've got to say, that's a real coup. i've known law for a long time. when we were in the brexit party. and she's a real larger than life character, a real force of nature, nothing at all. think what most people all. i think what most people think, sort of person that

think, the sort of person that nigel around with or nigel would hang around with or date. it's really date. and it's really interesting because nigel has always been very, very protective personal protective of his personal life. so this, this is quite something. >> i think was a trade off >> i think it was a trade off really for going i'm really for going in the i'm a celebrity jungle, which is that you do have even more intrusion and your personal you do have even more intrusion and and your personal you do have even more intrusion and and thisrr personal you do have even more intrusion and and thisrr |an;onal life. and i think this is an attempt try to attempt for her to try to get ahead she comes across ahead of that. she comes across incredibly not incredibly well. and i'm not just that. we're just saying that. and we're going out to in going to be playing it out to in 11 minute chunks. so the entire last half of my of my show, as it were, really tonight. and look, she does address some look, she she does address some issues in their in their personal life. she talks about what nigel might do when he gets out of the jungle as well. and there's also some moments out of the jungle as well. and there's levity some moments out of the jungle as well. and there's levity there. moments out of the jungle as well. and there's levity there. and nents of real levity in there. and i think will see well, think people will see well, they'll her for the first they'll meet her for the first time, they'll time, but they'll also see a very different side nigel. so very different side to nigel. so 10:30 get on 10:30 pm. tonight, get on it. and tasty morsel you and a little tasty morsel you dangled she mentioned dangled there that she mentioned was that night nigel would make a great prime minister. >> now, a lot of people have been talking about that was mentioned in the jungle. now she's mentioned it. do you think
