3:04 pm
approach. >> needs to be taken on the next reading of the bill. >> if this bill is not allowed to pass substantially as it is, there will be a growing momentum for something that i personally would regret and be reluctant to contemplate, which would be withdrawal from the european convention on human rights. we are looking at a situation where the democratic house has already asserted in a quite muscular fashion in its concept of its sovereignty and i think we need to reflect very carefully . to reflect very carefully. >> welsh first minister mark drakeford has confirmed he's stepping down and will resign in march next year. stepping down and will resign in march next year . the march next year. the announcement has triggered a contest to find his successor. he hopes the new leader will be in place before easter. he hopes the new leader will be in place before easter . james in place before easter. james bulger's killer, jon venables, has been denied parole with the panel ruling he still poses a threat to the public. he murdered the toddler when he was

3:06 pm
speaking to mps at a pre—appointment hearing, samir shah said he didn't think it was helpful to think this last one, the one that identified specific to politicians, seems to me, on the face of it, a breach of those guidelines. >> and i imagine the bbc is looking into that. now. the bbc is in favour of freedom of expression, as it should be, but also duty to be impartial. also the duty to be impartial. now it's very clear when it comes and current comes to news and current affairs and when it's not, but there grey area within there is a grey area within which lineker i do which mr lineker sits and i do and i share your frustration. i think i would certainly invite the director general and his team to find a solution to this because really we need to find a solution to this. >> this is gb news across the uk on tv, in your car, on your digital radio and on your smart speaker by saying play gb news now back to . martin thank you, tatyana. >> now let's get cracking. got a
3:07 pm
great show ahead and of course, there's only one place to start again, and that's with rishi sunak. again, and that's with rishi sunak . and there's been a big sunak. and there's been a big development in the last couple of hours that. rwanda of hours regarding that. rwanda bill, because we've learnt that three red lines that the prime minister has set, he's set to get out of this controversial legislation over the line, he reckons those red lines will do the job. but i'm joined now by our political editor christopher hope. christopher, good afternoon to you. so rishi narrowly avoided that nightmare before christmas . we're before christmas. we're expecting tears in the new year , expecting tears in the new year, but could these red lines be the solution ? if so, could you solution? if so, could you explain what they are ? explain what they are? >> well, that's right. so the tory right were quailed and they agreed to abstain because the pm told them that he would look at considering hardening up the legislation with amendments . s legislation with amendments. s and that's what they wanted to heat and that's what they wanted to hear. the right hear. the right so the right then 29 or so tory mps chose to abstain on the vote last night, helping the government to quite a meaty 44 seat majority. that's what they need to force the bill
3:08 pm
through the peers . now, at through the peers. now, at lunchtime today, the attendance made very clear on the red lines which which all amendments must, must abide by. they must be legally credible, have a deterrent effect on small boats crossings, and they won't collapse the scheme. now, that's interesting, i think, because the second one is aimed at the tory left. one big worry for the whips right now is that the tory left might put in their own amendments to weaken the attempt to disregard elements of human rights, human rights rights, the human rights legislation and labour and others could support it and that could force the government to rely on the right wing mps to stop stop those amendments stop the stop those amendments getting through. so the tragedy in one way with the left and on the right, they're saying it mustn't risk collapsing the scheme. now we know the pm has said goes within an said this deal goes within an inch of collapsing scheme. inch of collapsing that scheme. they can't go any further. so he's almost saying the tory, he's almost saying to the tory, right, you're going right, this is what you're going to essentially this, to get. and essentially this, this the victorious this is the victorious government red lines government at imposing red lines on the right wing of the party,
3:09 pm
which weren't happy, were they, since monday about rwanda since monday about this rwanda bill, it's very hard to see where it goes from here. i think, for them elsewhere, martin labour have been talking about they've been martin labour have been talking abouclear. they've been martin labour have been talking abouclear. i they've been martin labour have been talking abouclear. i asked they've been martin labour have been talking abouclear. i asked them'e been very clear. i asked them directly if this rwanda bill works, will you repeal it? they said yes. so even if the first planes take off as planned in may next year, a labour government when it comes in, would act out legislation, stop the treaty and stop taking people to be to be processed in rwanda. they say that's because it's a deportation scheme, not an offshore scheme. they did hold the door open to agreeing some form of offshore processing centre, but rwanda is dead if labour win even if it's working. back to you . back to you. >> okay. thank you for that, chris. >> okay. thank you for that, chns.the >> okay. thank you for that, chris. the mood in the tory party is in the red zone. will these red lines work? that remains to be seen . now, if remains to be seen. now, if rishi sunak thought things couldn't get much worse, then think again because nigel farage arrived back in the uk this morning and he warned the tories that they're heading for a catastrophic defeat at the next
3:10 pm
election. and a warning that there are some flashing images coming . and nigel landed at coming up. and nigel landed at heathrow after coming third in. i'm a celebrity. he also took a swipe at sunak decision to bring david cameron into the cabinet. >> i'm in desperate trouble headed for catastrophic defeat. they've no idea what's coming down the track towards them . and down the track towards them. and i think the last thing i heard before i went into the jungle was cameron was back. but was that cameron was back. but if he's got that bad, they must be real trouble. and see be in real trouble. and i see that he's about managed that he's just about managed to squeak a boat on land. squeak through a boat on land. but mean , it's going to make but i mean, it's going to make no difference at all. no, they're in dire, dire trouble. and all labour have to do is frankly not tear each other apart and play safe and the election's theirs. i think so. >> there we have it. nigel farage is out of the jungle and he present his show live at 7:00 this evening. exclusive on gb news. you are not want to miss that? what will he have to say
3:11 pm
about the calamity in the commons last night? a nightmare for christmas was avoided, but will that last into the new year? well, i'm joined now by brendan clarke—smith, who's the conservative mp for bassetlaw of course, and a key voice on the common sense group. brendan thanks for joining us. common sense group. brendan thanks forjoining us. always a thanks for joining us. always a pleasure to talk to you. so we learned in the last few moments there about the red lines your prime minister has laid down to stop people tinkering from both the right and the left of the party. will that satisfy you or will that annoy you guys as well? >> i think the main thing is we want a piece of legislation that actually works and people are sick and tired of seeing planes on the runway, people being dragged off the lawyers dragged off by the lefty lawyers and so on. >> we've passed two pieces >> and we've passed two pieces of already. of legislation already. we've had illegal migration act, had the illegal migration act, we've nationality and we've had the nationality and borders act, which labour voted against all of those about 60 odd now, keir starmer and odd times. now, keir starmer and labour have tried to stop this. we something so we want something that works. so i there is actually i think where there is actually
3:12 pm
a of consensus, wherever you a lot of consensus, wherever you are in the conservative party and views have, and whatever views you have, let's nobody actually let's remember nobody actually voted against night. voted against it last night. >> disagreement is actually >> the disagreement is actually how best work and how we can best make it work and i guess the thing is you abstained after a bacon butty at breakfast trying to keep things nice and calm . nice and calm. >> and that worked to a point. but i'm assuming, brendan, that that and the common that you guys and the common sense group and the erg and other factions on the right wanted up this bill wanted to beef up this bill a bit to make sure that it wouldn't be possible , possible wouldn't be possible, possible for people to contest it, for asylum seekers to claim their human rights are being infringed. and i guess my question is, will rishi's red lines defang that what it effectively means? you can't have what you wanted . and have what you wanted. and i think this is the issue . think this is the issue. >> so not everybody abstained. >> so not everybody abstained. >> some people voted for it. now this is of course, it's only the second reading. so second reading the intention of the bill. >> we agree we want these flights to go off to rwanda, where has where the disagreement has been as some technical
3:13 pm
as maybe some of the technical elements of that. >> when comes back in >> now, when that comes back in january, there january, as you've said, there are who there are people who think there are things could do to things that you could do to improve there has been improve that. there has been some that the some discussion that the government open government would be open to doing sense doing that. i see common sense as the people on the right, people such as myself, of course, to make sure course, we want to make sure that actually done. that it's actually done. and then the other of the then on the other side of the party, there are people who want to make sure we actually honour our international obligations to make sure we actually honour our soarnational obligations to make sure we actually honour our soarnatiowell.bligations to make sure we actually honour our soarnatiowell.bligatithink and so on as well. but i think if you look at the guidance that the erg brought was really, the erg brought out was really, really they really interested in, they said that everything we to that not everything we want to do necessarily the do is necessarily within the scope this bill. so we're scope of this bill. so we're actually constrained with what we actually do. and you we could actually do. and you look at things that we actually are to not just the echr, are party to not just the echr, but human rights act from but the human rights act from 1998 that tony blair brought in and that i would call absolute constitutional vandalism. now, really , we need to replace that. really, we need to replace that. to do that, you're going to have to a manifesto to have that in a manifesto that's have to go a that's going to have to go in a general election. you're going to it through the to have to get it through the lords. but in the meantime, we really to those flights really need to get those flights off. that is what
3:14 pm
off. so that is what this legislation and legislation is about and those are parameters we've are the parameters that we've got him. but got to work with him. but certainly anything we can do to strengthen would strengthen that, that would be absolutely strengthen that, that would be absoluteljguess the key line >> and i guess the key line that's aimed self and that's aimed at your self and the erg and the common sense group it's won't collapse the group is it's won't collapse the scheme and i guess what that means i'm reading between the lines is if you push for lines here is if you push for further beefing up of those, those, those rights to stop people appealing against it, then that may mean that the one nafion then that may mean that the one nation conservatives aren't happy and they will throw the tories out the pram. and so what rishi is trying to do here effectively is kind of crack his whip with this chair in the air and all in ring and keep you all in the ring together. but is that going to work? is it possible that a plan that even night out that seemed even last night out of please yourself and of reach to please yourself and the can be kept the one nation group can be kept in by these new lines ? in check by these new red lines? >> so i do think it is possible that we can come to some sort of compromise. >> there. and again, everybody agrees with the general principle of getting these flights because the flights off now, because the problem and what i suppose problem is and what i suppose
3:15 pm
the group argue the one nation group would argue is going to is that you're probably going to open further open yourself up to further legal challenges. cut off legal challenges. if you cut off the right of any appeal, whereas more we would probably more my side, we would probably say that, well, you we've say that, well, you know, we've seen people being seen it before, people being dragged flights all seen it before, people being dr'theed flights all seen it before, people being dr'the time flights all seen it before, people being dr'the time and flights all seen it before, people being dr'the time and they'll ghts all seen it before, people being dr'the time and they'll find all of the time and they'll find some reason or some sort of some reason or some sort of excuse some reason or some sort of excuse that they'll drag and excuse that they'll drag out and then they'll all be trying it. so we want make sure is so what we want to make sure is that do appeal so what we want to make sure is that do do appeal so what we want to make sure is that do have do appeal so what we want to make sure is that do have a do appeal so what we want to make sure is that do have a chanceo appeal so what we want to make sure is that do have a chance tonppeal so what we want to make sure is that do have a chance to appeal, and do have a chance to appeal, they really are genuine reasons and vast majority the and the vast majority on the people actually people on those flights actually do to rwanda because it's not do go to rwanda because it's not the that we actually the number that we actually sent to it's the fact that we to rwanda. it's the fact that we get that plane off. it's shown as a deterrent and people know that they cheat system anymore. >> brendan clarke—smith, >> okay, brendan clarke—smith, thank you for joining >> okay, brendan clarke—smith, thank you forjoining on the thank you for joining us on the show. avoided nightmare show. we avoided a nightmare before christmas. you might want to assuming to get some rest. i'm assuming it's quite lively it's going to be quite a lively new thanks joining new year. thanks for joining us on a pleasure. on the show. always a pleasure. now, have lots on the now, we'll have lots more on the future of course future of rishi sunak. of course , throughout and , throughout the show. and there's plenty coverage on there's plenty of coverage on our website, gbnews.com, which you've helped to make the fastest growing national news website in the country. so thank

3:27 pm
has a very split life between his personal and his work life. and his political life because this organisation he runs, hizb ut—tahrir , it is a political ut—tahrir, it is a political organisation . it wants to seek organisation. it wants to seek a fundamentalist version of islam, seen throughout the world, but in particular in predominantly muslim countries. now as you might understand and expect, this organisation has been unked this organisation has been linked with some extremely controversial moments in the past , in the controversial moments in the past, in the last few controversial moments in the past , in the last few decades, past, in the last few decades, but in particular since the conflict started in israel and the palestinian territories. so soon after the terror attacks on october the 7th, wahid led a rally in central london where members of that rally were heard chanting for jihad. members of that rally were heard chanting forjihad. the mets said they weren't going to act on that occasion . in terms of on that occasion. in terms of what he actually said, he called for muslim armies to intervene in the conflict, which, of course, not illegal. it's course, is not illegal. it's a geo demand, it is geo political demand, but it is controversial and it is charged. now, we understand that locals in his area in north—west london

3:35 pm
suppose , what they say suppose, what they would say make right decision , which make the right decision, which obviously yesterday . obviously happened yesterday. she struck from the she was struck from the register. now , despite all of register. so now, despite all of her university degree and qualifications, she is now no longer considered to be a nurse and will most likely die and she will most likely die behind bars. >> and no, she will never be released. so in many cases, i hear what you're saying. it was due but a of a show due process, but a bit of a show trial. still maintains her trial. she still maintains her innocence. of course . what might innocence. of course. what might that entail in terms of appeals or the routes forward legally? >> well, in september, we heard that she and her legal team had launched an application to appeal against her convictions. >> now, a lot of people at that time thought that meant that she was making an appeal. but actually, that's the case. actually, that's not the case. the appeal have told the court of appeal have told us that, fact, she's had to that, in fact, what she's had to do is make the application to appeal initially. so that is now underway. it can take up to around five months for that to happen. so we're expecting to hear something in the hear something on that in the new year, probably january, hear something on that in the new yeartime, ably january, hear something on that in the new yeartime, and january, hear something on that in the new yeartime, and that ary, hear something on that in the new yeartime, and that will be february time, and that will be whether or not she's even
3:36 pm
allowed the appeal. so allowed to make the appeal. so we're still waiting to hear about before we know about that before we know whether or not she'll be able to appeal those convictions. >> conviction in the >> but the conviction was in the end , you know, cast iron on the end, you know, cast iron on the evidence seems cast iron. of course, she has the right to challenge it, but nobody thinks that she's going to get off. do they? >>i they? >> i think there are always going to be some people who would argue against it. but the thing is that is our legal system . the jury in august of system. the jury in august of this year decided that she was guilty on those 14 counts, seven murder, seven counts of attempted murder . there were of attempted murder. there were of course, there were two that she was not guilty on, and there were six that they were unable to a verdict on. there to come to a verdict on. there is summer of next year, is in summer of next year, there is in summer of next year, there is on one is potentially a retrial on one of counts . but that's the of those counts. but that's the that's way of our legal that's the way of our legal system. the jury found her guilty on those 14 counts. and unless that appeal is allowed to happen, say , she will be happen, as you say, she will be spending the rest of her life in prison. >> legally, there's a case >> so legally, there's a case coming june and how long

3:43 pm
after a whiny netflix documentary , harry a whiny documentary, harry a whiny biography and an inert podcast. last the harry and meghan brand swelled into a sanctimonious bubble, just begging to be popped bubble, just begging to be popped and south park was the pin. the shows 20 minute world wide privacy tour take down in march was savage and was followed by spotify dropping archetypes with a top executive labelling . the duo grifters it labelling. the duo grifters it also emerged that harry and meghan's charity, the archewell foundation , has suffered foundation, has suffered a massive £8.7 million drop in donate options this year. apart from that, it's been a spiffing year. from that, it's been a spiffing year . and i'm joined now by gb year. and i'm joined now by gb news royal correspondent cameron walker . have we got the news royal correspondent cameron walker. have we got the memo about the grey suits ? we about the grey suits? we certainly did, yeah. cameron look, it never rains, but it pours for the sussexes but this is a bad of the year for is a bad end of the year for them, think. is a bad end of the year for the it think. is a bad end of the year for the it certainly is. and mean, >> it certainly is. and i mean, you look us media in you look at the us media in particular this year, it's really of note because had
3:44 pm
really of note because we had the family guy mic take of the couple and indeed, as you said, the south park as well. but the latest blow, i suppose comes to them with the finances of their charity, the archewell foundation . in 2021, donations foundation. in 2021, donations stood at $11 million, which is roughly £8.7 million, 2022, which is the latest figures . we which is the latest figures. we have dropped substantially . only have dropped substantially. only 2 to $2 million, £1.6 million and overall loss in terms of the charity's finances overall , so charity's finances overall, so close to $600,000. so it is not been a great year. however, a source has told tmz magazine in america that there is around $8 million in the bank. so we're not going to go bankrupt just yet. but nonetheless, it just shows it's not going in the shows that it's not going in the right at moment . okay. >> we have to leave it there. cameron walker, thank you very much ever. much for joining us. as ever. never pours for never rains, but it pours for the sussexes i don't suppose many people in news land will many people in gb news land will be their violins be getting their violins out now. more on the now. let's get more now on the story mentioned little story i mentioned a little earlier labour
3:45 pm
earlier this hour how a labour government would tackle the migrant crisis. government would tackle the migrant crisis . last night, migrant crisis. last night, shadow cabinet member peter kyle responded to the rwanda vote by tweeting there five point plan andifs tweeting there five point plan and it's this one cracking down on people smuggling gangs through a new cross border police unit to clearing the asylum backlog by recruiting new staff. three a new returns agreement with france and other countries for reforming legal routes for refugees to stop them being exploited by gangs. and five are tackling humanity in cnses five are tackling humanity in crises at source by helping refugees in their own regions. well it's been a long time coming, but let's drill into the detail now, and i'm joined by human rights lawyer shad khan, who joins me now. so we've got some detail on bones at last some detail on the bones at last of what labour would do . can i of what labour would do. can i ask you, do you think it would work? first of all, cracking down on people smuggling gangs ? down on people smuggling gangs? we've heard this for years, but no one's ever managed to achieve it. hi. >> yes. so yeah, i mean,
3:46 pm
obviously you say there's finally some meat on the bones, but yeah, pretty thin, isn't it? >> really have any idea >> we don't really have any idea how they're going do how they're actually going to do any yeah, just any of this, but yeah, just going what they've said. so going by what they've said. so like in terms of the like you said, in terms of the smuggling gangs, so at least what they're saying reforming what they're saying is reforming resettlement . resettlement routes. >> and yeah, i mean, i think that something that that is something that that should really be. >> we only really need a one point plan and that is it. that should be the of should really be the top of everyone's wants to everyone's list who wants to deal with this. >> sort out >> we need to sort out resettlement routes. and what resettlement routes. and what res> basically means is hopefully legal safe routes for asylum seekers to reach the uk. >> so like we've seen with ukrainians , like we saw to some ukrainians, like we saw to some extent very limited extent with afghanis, afghans and some other countries, that's what we need. if we have, you know, legal ways for asylum seekers to reach the uk and settle here, then they would not have to risk their lives and encourage and give business smuggling so business to smuggling gangs. so that's positive see that's really positive to see that's really positive to see that let's if it that there. but let's see if it actually works . then another actually works. then another thing obviously, know, again thing obviously, you know, again
3:47 pm
, number five, , it's number five, unfortunately, the list unfortunately, on the list should number 2. should really be number 1 or 2. and actually the and that's actually tackling the humanitarian crisis in the regions, keeping people there , regions, keeping people there, supporting there . again, supporting them there. again, you know, the us, the uk, western allies, you know, our allies generally, we're really keen on and we're really active in creating refugees , but we in creating refugees, but we don't really support them and so again, it's really important we can actually find ways to keep people safe in their countries. people are desperate not to leave. have their lives, leave. they have their lives, homes, livelihoods, homes, families, livelihoods, everything live. and everything where they live. and if we can just help settle if we can just help them settle there and be safe there, of course, that's an amazing thing. and i mean, and other than that, i mean, i think what we have a lot of it is just repeating the tories have been the same have been saying the same things. know, but how things. you know, but how are you that? we you going to do that? like we saw talking about saw and they're talking about cutting the backlog. cutting or reducing the backlog. but obviously rishi sunak, let's see, you know, he has see, you know, he only has whatever another two weeks to go before his deadline. his self implemented self—imposed deadune implemented self—imposed deadline the backlog by deadline to clear the backlog by the end of the year. um, but you know, that's what, you know, know, so that's what, you know, what suggesting
3:48 pm
what they were suggesting initially will more initially was will recruit more caseworkers. get the caseworkers. we'll get the backlog fact what backlog down. but in fact what they've done is they've just made claiming asylum harder. they've lodging asylum they've just made lodging asylum claims harder. they've just made it easier to withdraw claims . so it easier to withdraw claims. so many claims the home office have just withdrawn. okay. many claims the home office have justhey've withdrawn. okay. many claims the home office have justhey've withdrawn'awn. okay. many claims the home office have justhey've withdrawn and. okay. so they've withdrawn and cancelled people's and cancelled people's claims. and then oh, the numbers then they say, oh, the numbers have i need i need to have i need to i need to interject because in this five point plan, let me put it to you, there's not single thing here that will tackle you, there's not single thing herenumbers, that will tackle you, there's not single thing herenumbers, come nlll tackle you, there's not single thing herenumbers, come inl tackle you, there's not single thing herenumbers, come in and kle you, there's not single thing herenumbers, come in and there's the numbers, come in and there's a great many things. >> it will increase the numbers of to uk . of people coming to the uk. safer will make it easier safer routes will make it easier to we keep 76% of to apply. we already keep 76% of people who apply for asylum . and people who apply for asylum. and it's interesting how you felt the number five tackling humanitarian at source by humanitarian crisis at source by helping refugees in their own regions should be higher up. that's basically foreign aid on steroids. that basically means anytime there's a crisis anywhere in the world, the uk should send a flipping great wodge of cash to keep people in their countries. i put it to you, mr cohen. that would be an
3:49 pm
endless bill, an endless nightmare there, and it wouldn't decrease the numbers, but it certainly would increase the financial liability of the uk . financial liability of the uk. >> i mean, so firstly, i mean, what the government's doing and what the government's doing and what labour's and what we've done with the rwanda, hundreds of millions pounds, a of millions of pounds, not a single, you like people single, you know, like people say, i wish it was funny, but you know, we more home you know, we sent more home secretaries there than asylum seekers. and seekers. so the point is and you know, knows by now, you know, everyone knows by now, you know, everyone knows by now, you know, i think it's pretty subtle. no one's ever going to get not sending any get sent. we're not sending any flights we wasted flights there. we wasted hundreds of pounds. hundreds of millions of pounds. and so that's what the government doing and so that's what the gover|yeaht doing and so that's what the govenyear. it's doing and so that's what the govenyear. it's gimmicks,ing and so that's what the govenyear. it's gimmicks, sound every year. it's gimmicks, sound bites. works . bites. nothing actually works. but mean, i think it just but i mean, i think it just comes point where we say is comes to a point where we say is our want help our point. we don't want to help people the point what people or is the point what people or is the point what people claim is the case. and that's that the country is full. if point is , you know, which that's that the country is full. ifdon't)oint is , you know, which that's that the country is full. ifdon't agree; , you know, which that's that the country is full. ifdon't agree; , yo anyway, which that's that the country is full. ifdon't agree; , yoanyway, but:h i don't agree with anyway, but if saying, yes, our if we're saying, yes, our infrastructure, don't have infrastructure, we don't have infrastructure, we don't have infrastrl and e, infrastructure, we don't have infrastrland hospitals, we can't schools and hospitals, we can't bnng schools and hospitals, we can't bring uk, bring more people to the uk, then least help then at least we can help district people where are. district people where they are. and foreign is district people where they are. andif foreign is district people where they are. andif we foreign is district people where they are. andif we need foreign is district people where they are. andif we need t0)reign is district people where they are. andif we need to increase is district people where they are. andif we need to increase it,
3:50 pm
for. if we need to increase it, we increase it. and secondly, like i said initially as well, we fact, you know, through we in fact, you know, through the abroad and our the work we do abroad and our attitudes disputes and attitudes towards disputes and conflicts and our allies, we create so many refugees. so i mean, at least we can make an effort to create less refugees so would be burden on us. >> us. >> okay, we'll have to leave it there. shoaib khan, thank you very much for joining there. shoaib khan, thank you very much forjoining us on the very much for joining us on the show. lawyer there. show. human rights lawyer there. if have to increase foreign if we have to increase foreign aid, have to increase it aid, we have to increase it there. we have it. it's like it's our duty solve every it's our duty to solve every crisis the world by simply crisis in the world by simply signing bigger and bigger checks and inviting more more and inviting more and more people to the uk. i see it. people to the uk. as i see it. that's labour's plan b, great to get somebody from the party on at soon to put all of at some point soon to put all of these to them . now moving these points to them. now moving on the uk economy shrank by 0.3% in october, according to official figures by the ons and let's join now i'm joined now by vicky pryce, chief economic adviser at the centre for economic and business research. always a pleasure to see you on the show. vicky i guess no huge
3:51 pm
surprise in this, really. i mean, people are feeling interest rates are pinching their purses and their wallets closed . people are kind of closed. people are kind of reluctant to spend money. black friday was a damp squib, so in many senses not unsurprising news, but still stubbornly poor performers from the british economy at the moment . economy at the moment. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> and what he had seen in september was a bit of an improvement in the economy after some rather bad months in the summer, remember, we summer, because you remember, we had bad weather and it had rather bad weather and it seems be very, very connected seems to be very, very connected to, know, whether it rains to, you know, whether it rains a lot. i'm afraid then lot. so i'm afraid it then rained lot in october, so gdp rained a lot in october, so gdp fell by 0.3, slightly higher than people had anticipated, mainly some of the mainly because some of the services didn't do particularly well. that's quite well. and that's quite interesting because when you look at the detail, seems to look at the detail, it seems to be information, be things like information, communication, which do communication, which didn't do particularly well, but also manufacturing, which dropped manufacturing, which dropped manufacturing has been dropping manufacturing, which dropped manfor:turing has been dropping manufacturing, which dropped manfor months|as been dropping manufacturing, which dropped manfor months and een dropping manufacturing, which dropped manfor months and that'sopping manufacturing, which dropped manfor months and that's aiping manufacturing, which dropped manfor months and that's a big; now for months and that's a big of a bit of an issue as to how can it recover, particularly when the world itself isn't
3:52 pm
doing particularly well . so you doing particularly well. so you can't grow in isolation if there isn't demand for your products. so, yes , it was sort of so, yes, it was sort of anticipated , but the extent of anticipated, but the extent of it wasn't quite think forecasts were maybe 0.1% reduction, which means that maybe we'll just have very little growth during this particular quarteh but the oh point three is worrying nevertheless . nevertheless. >> vicky, briefly , if we could, >> vicky, briefly, if we could, there is some good news on the horizon, though. the money markets are fully pricing in a cut of interest rates, maybe down to 4.25% next year. so perhaps there is some sun on the honzon perhaps there is some sun on the horizon . horizon. >> there is, i think that's pretty good news because the markets have decided not to believe what the bank of england says, which that interest says, which is that interest rates are going to stay high probably over year. probably for over the next year. but we're seeing that there but now we're seeing that there are expectations proper cut are expectations of a proper cut in interest by the central in interest rates by the central banks world, us and banks across the world, us and also in europe and in the uk. sometime in spring, perhaps not in the summer most definitely, but it could in fact happen earlier. and if we have an
3:53 pm
election here where the expectation would be that people should be feeling slightly happier might vote happier and therefore might vote for because for this government because growth resumed , you have to growth has resumed, you have to have a cut interest rates. have a cut in interest rates. without won't happen. without that, it won't happen. but quickly, but can i just add very quickly, i you're rushing i know you're you're rushing this this through, but this this one through, but nevertheless , we seen nevertheless, we have seen a little bit an improvement . little bit of an improvement. this data. we spoke this is october data. we spoke about a bit an improvement in about a bit of an improvement in november . and also indications about a bit of an improvement in noveare er . and also indications about a bit of an improvement in noveare thatlnd also indications about a bit of an improvement in noveare that people» indications about a bit of an improvement in noveare that people areiications now are that people are beginning to go out a lot more because not because of christmas. it's not seasonally adjusted , but there's seasonally adjusted, but there's been bit improvement been a bit of an improvement both what both in confidence in what people are thinking about the future in their future and also in their spending habits right now . so we spending habits right now. so we might end seeing a reasonably might end up seeing a reasonably good we shouldn't good christmas. so we shouldn't give and perhaps things give up and think perhaps things would better and especially would be better and especially if we are expecting rates to if we are expecting now rates to come down and with the increase in wage through come down and with the increase in the wage through come down and with the increase in the cut wage through come down and with the increase in the cut wnational through and the cut in national insurance contributions, maybe we'll little bit of a we'll see a little bit of a pickup. okay >> vicky pryce, we have to leave it there. thank you very much. some for some some happy news for christmas, at least now. we'll be of stuff on be back. all of that stuff on rwanda, red lines, rwanda, the three red lines, will work? will they save

4:08 pm
course. and there's been a big development the last couple development in the last couple of regarding rwanda of hours regarding that rwanda bill, because we've learned that three lines that the prime three red lines that the prime minister has set out to get to the controversial legislation over the line. and i'm joined now by political editor, now by our political editor, christopher hope . chris. so christopher hope. chris. so rishi narrowly avoided a nightmare before christmas, but there could be tears in the new year and ostensibly the right of the party want the rwanda bill beefing up the left of the party wants it watering down and might rishi's red lines mean they all go hungry . go hungry. >> yes. well, that's a good way of putting it. mark martin yeah, well, what's happening right now is the real negotiation starts about amending this rwanda bill. don't forget the pm rishi sunak told rebels yesterday on the right that he would look at hardening up the wording. the elements of the bill that the right one to be c firmed up if possible. well, today at
4:09 pm
lunchtime the government set out his red lines, making very clear the government will only accept amendments which are legally credible and have a deterrent effect and won't collapse. the scheme . now, point one is scheme. now, point one is obvious it must pass a law point to have a deterrent effect is aimed actually at the left of the party, the one nation tory tories . because there is a big tories. because there is a big risk the whips are worried about this, they try this, that the they might try and amend it to weaken the bill, make it more easy lawyers to make it more easy for lawyers to challenge in the courts with challenge it in the courts with the labouh challenge it in the courts with the labour. the snp , the support of labour. the snp, lib dems and the rest. and that could be probably a problem. it could be probably a problem. it could the government could mean that the government relies wing tory mps relies on right wing tory mps who abstain to get it who currently abstain to get it through the commons. now the third point there, it won't collapse scheme that's aimed collapse the scheme that's aimed at the party at the right of the party because the pm, sunak said because as the pm, mr sunak said last thursday in his press conference, as goes within an conference, as it goes within an inch collapsing the whole inch of collapsing the whole scheme, hard as he inch of collapsing the whole scheone, hard as he inch of collapsing the whole scheon ignoring hard as he inch of collapsing the whole scheon ignoring elementsi as he inch of collapsing the whole scheon ignoring elements of; he can on ignoring elements of human rights legislation, getting these people arriving here legally from the uk to rwanda to be to be processed and
4:10 pm
staying there. of course, not going back to the uk. so he's on a very tight , very tight line. a very tight, very tight line. he's walking along rishi sunak anneliese, trying to deal with the left, stop them weakening it and on the right stop them hardening it too much. and these, this, these amendments, these, this, these amendments, these red lines from the pm issued at lunchtime today are where the talking starts. we're going to have more debate over christmas. in christmas. it's back in the commons in the second commons, probably in the second or week of january, two or third week of january, two days of hearings of the days of here of hearings of the whole house. big dramatic day battles over amendments before it the lords. and you it goes to the lords. and you heard geoffrey cox, heard earlier from geoffrey cox, the general, talking to heard earlier from geoffrey cox, the here general, talking to heard earlier from geoffrey cox, the here on general, talking to heard earlier from geoffrey cox, the here on college., talking to heard earlier from geoffrey cox, the here on college green.ig to heard earlier from geoffrey cox, the here on college green. he) me here on college green. he said that thinks it can get said that he thinks it can get through lords eventually through the lords eventually and he it. martin you like he gives it. martin you like this a better than evens chance of flights taking off in of these flights taking off in may, so i might lose my beer. after all, i don't think you will, chris. >> i think it's safe. the nightmare before christmas was avoided, but think plenty more avoided, but i think plenty more tears new year for rishi tears in the new year for rishi sunak en rwanda. chris hope, thank joining on thank you for joining us on the show. course, ever . now,

4:23 pm
exclusive update . an exclusive update. an extraordinary case. what's the latest? >> well, the gmc, the general medical council have been sat on this information version about abdul wahid , his pseudonym, for abdul wahid, his pseudonym, for some time now, because concerns were raised last month after a rally in central london in october after the start of the conflict in israel and gaza, where members of this organisation , charleton hizb organisation, charleton hizb ut—tahrir, were heard chanting for jihad while this doctor was giving a speech at the rally, he called for muslim armies to intervene in the conflict itself. a controversial all but by no means an illegal statement calling for an army to invade another country. it's charged . another country. it's charged. it's controversial rhetoric, but it's legitimate political discourse. however members of that rally did chant for jihad and there wasn't a sufficient pushback. indeed, there was no pushback. indeed, there was no pushback whatsoever from members of that organisation when that was heard. several people chanting that. and it comes, of course, in the context of the met, not dealing with people
4:24 pm
chanting for jihad met, not dealing with people chanting forjihad and receiving a lot of criticism for that at the time. but in this fresh update out monday update out on monday night, abdul wahid on talk tv saying that hamas terrorists were freedom fighters. he also failed to condemn the events of october the 7th, where hundreds of civilians were killed. some of them mutilated and brutalised in appalling circumstances during that terror attack. he said that he couldn't condemn it because so much of the events of that day had been disputed. but of course, there has been so much evidence and testimony put forward and another point which i think i struggled to get my head around is the extremist islamic group in question here. >> hizb ut—tahrir is outlawed in many countries, including germany , bangladesh, china, germany, bangladesh, china, pakistan, russia , turkey, pakistan, russia, turkey, indonesia and all arab countries except the lebanon, yemen and the uae. so why is it legal here? >> well, that's a big question. and it has gone through a lot of assessment over the last couple of decades . we know that prime of decades. we know that prime minister tony blair was keen to
4:25 pm
get of this organised action get rid of this organised action for some time to proscribe it. he office up he marched the home office up that and then they turned that hill and then they turned around couldn't do around and said they couldn't do it. upon advice from it. reportedly upon advice from intelligence chiefs , intelligence and police chiefs, david similar david cameron made a similar promise before he entered office in 2009. he kept saying he would do it again . he didn't. and it's do it again. he didn't. and it's all gone quiet on that organisation then, really, organisation since then, really, until , course, reigniting until, of course, the reigniting interest on this group since that rally in october and nhs nonh that rally in october and nhs north west london telling gb news this morning that they saw his comments as distressing and there had been concerns, of course raised by people in north—west london. it's a very jewish population there. of course in harrow and in the surrounding area . so a lot of surrounding area. so a lot of concern about these comments. so i went actually to harrow this morning of morning to visit the home of abdul wahid, of this doctor. he didn't come to the door, but a family member did, said they had no information to give me at this but what was really this time. but what was really stunning to stunning is when i spoke to neighbours, told that he neighbours, they told me that he was man. his children was a lovely man. his children were great, that he delivered
4:26 pm
dinners to an elderly gentleman who they had no who lived nearby and they had no idea about his political idea about his wider political views . they had no idea that he views. they had no idea that he not only belonged to, but led this fundamentalist organisation . and some of them were extremely stunned by some of the remarks that i pointed out to them, this doctor had made. them, that this doctor had made. and the question they were asking me, and indeed, i imagine lots of viewers are asking lots of our viewers are asking today, is an nhs gp also today, is why is an nhs gp also leading islamic leading a fundamentalist islamic organisation ? organisation? >> well, that's the big question. but the neighbours question. but now the neighbours do does the nation. do know. so does the nation. charlie peters as usual, excellent thank you very excellent stuff. thank you very much for joining excellent stuff. thank you very much forjoining us in the much for joining us in the studio. let's get more on studio. now let's get more on our top story. and there's been a last a big development in the last couple regarding couple of hours regarding the rwanda that rwanda bill. we've learned that three red lines that the prime minister set out get his minister has set out to get his controversial legislation for rwanda over line any rwanda over the line any amendments must be legally credible, have a deterrent effect and won't collapse the scheme. well, i'm joined now by alexander stafford, who's a conservative mp for rother valley. alex always a pleasure. i understand you voted for the
4:27 pm
legislation last night . you must legislation last night. you must be happy. but of course , a lot be happy. but of course, a lot of people within the party aren't happy. both those on the tory right , aren't happy. both those on the tory right, who would like to see beefed up and those on see it beefed up and those on the left who would like to see it down. do you think it watered down. do you think these red will make sure these red lines will make sure this plan goes ahead or like many people, do you think that there won't be a single flight ever leaves rwanda ? ever leaves for rwanda? >> well , thank you and good >> well, thank you and good afternoon. well, i was one of those people who went to saw the prime minister several times yesterday, including in number 10, infamous breakfast 10, for the infamous breakfast yesterday morning. >> want >> because what i want fundamentally a taking fundamentally is a flight taking off flights, taking off off on many flights, taking off to rwanda, as promised. >> important we have to rwanda, as promised. >> toughestmportant we have to rwanda, as promised. >> toughest possible we have the toughest possible legislation the legislation legislation in the legislation already the already passed yesterday is the toughest we toughest now on record. now we want even more to want to beef it up even more to make there's a better, make sure there's a better, better chance actually get it better chance to actually get it over . over the line. >> a lot of people, alex, will be saying this is like brexit all over again. again, we have two factions of the tory party who couldn't seem to agree to disagree . the tory right wanted
4:28 pm
disagree. the tory right wanted a cleaner break brexit. the tory left wanted it to be watered down. it's like here we go again . and in the end those who object to it kind of tug their caps and voted with it anyway. is this all performative? will anything change? change >> well, i think first of all, there aren't two counts. >> is it clearly yesterday the conservative party was united in the basic fact of cutting down on immigration and getting flights off to rwanda. the only slight conversation , like any slight conversation, like any political party, is to make the legislation even legislation we already have even better. i'm convinced the better. so i'm convinced the party united, with one party is united, saying with one voice. question is, can voice. now the question is, can we the legislation even we make the legislation even tighter, even more tight to defeat lawyers and get it defeat the lawyers and get it across the line? >> a of people are more >> a lot of people are more sceptical of christopher sceptical of that. christopher hope, editor , has hope, our political editor, has a of a single pint of beer a bit of a single pint of beer with that nobody with rishi sunak that nobody will before the next will leave before the next general thinks his general election. he thinks his bet safe . even tougher bet is safe. even tougher talking nigel farage has landed in blighty today. he says rishi sunak irrespective of what happens with this bill, is
4:29 pm
heading for a catastrophic defeat at the next general election . what's your take on election. what's your take on that ? that? >> well, i think let's be honest, the next election is going to be fought on two issues. it's going to be fought on who's more likely to cut down the boats and reduce immigration and who's better for the economy . what the . so this bill, what the conservatives do on immigration going going to be going forward is going to be existential to who we are and how do it. obviously, people how we do it. obviously, people like who lot of like nigel, who have a lot of respect his work on brexit, respect for his work on brexit, it wants conservatives not it wants the conservatives not succeed have to succeed succeed. but we have to succeed for of our country. for the good of our country. >> i've exposed a five point >> and i've exposed a five point plan. the labour party have on solving the migration crisis . solving the migration crisis. took me a long while to find it, but apparently have but apparently they do have a plan. alex are you confident that will be any better that things will be any better or indeed, do you think they'd be labour to get in? >> oh, no question. i think labour's plan is just to try and get rid of illegal immigration by increasing all immigration, allowing all illegal people to come over here because is come over here because that is
4:30 pm
their that's not in their their plan. that's not in their interest down on interest to cut down on immigration, let alone illegal immigration. we know labour try and talk to try and appeal to voters others , but voters like my and others, but fundamentally, don't want fundamentally, they don't want to actually to cut immigration. we actually have a plan. we're actually going push it forward. and if going to push it forward. and if labour to cut down labour really wanted to cut down immigration illegal immigration and illegal immigration and illegal immigration like we do, they would and all would support any and all measures. and they didn't last night they happy night again, they were happy to vote labour even vote against it. and labour even today that rwanda does today said that if rwanda does work ahead , which work and goes ahead, which i believe it will, they will actually regardless. so actually cut it regardless. so they about they won't even look about whether just whether it works. they just they're ideologically against plans rwanda , ideologically plans like rwanda, ideologically against immigration. against cutting immigration. when we have a plan and i believe cut an election, it will work. >> do you think blaming labour will be enough now? after all, you been in power and you guys have been in power and we've got amounts of we've got record amounts of illegal legal immigration. illegal and legal immigration. do you need to think a bit harder saying it'll harder than just saying it'll be worse labour? worse than the labour? >> yeah, well no, clearly it is going to get better. the plan which prime put in which the prime minister put in i a week i think last week, a week before, legal before, to cut legal immigration, going cut immigration, is going to cut about 300,000 the
4:31 pm
about 300,000 people off the numbers. you look at what numbers. if you look at what the prime done about prime minister has done about albania , albanian numbers are albania, albanian numbers are down the year. down by 90% over the past year. small crossings are down by small boat crossings are down by 30% that we've turned the corner. getting corneh we've started getting this with rwanda this work. and with rwanda and other rwanda's this work. and with rwanda and oth> okay, alexander stafford, the conservative mp for rother valley much for valley, thank you very much for joining the show. and joining us on the show. and there's more still to there's lots more still to come between and 5:00. and i'll between now and 5:00. and i'll between now and 5:00. and i'll be closer look at that be taking a closer look at that labour plan to tackle the migrant and will it migrant crisis and ask will it work would it be more the work or would it be more of the same sir keir starmer? but same under sir keir starmer? but first, latest first, your latest news headunes first, your latest news headlines with polly middlehurst i >> -- >> martin thank you. let's bring you up to date with the headlines. police are still appealing for help to find a missing mother of three in norfolk. cctv has been released of gaynor lord, who was last seen in norwich on friday. police are hoping the release of this video, if you're watching on tv, of the 55 year old
4:32 pm
leaving work will help jog someone's memory. her belongings were found in a nearby park just hours after this footage was recorded. police say her disappearance is out of character for the unity of the conservative party. was the object of much gibing during final prime minister's questions of the year today. last evening, 38 rebel tories decided to abstain from a vote on the safety of rwanda bill, which passed with a majority of 44. the labour leader, sir keir starmer, accused the government of being in meltdown, but rishi sunak hit back, saying the numbers on migration the numbers on migration and the economy speak for themselves and wales's first minister, mark drakeford, has confirmed he's stepping down from office and will resign in march next year. the announcement has triggered a contest to find his successor. he's hoping the new leader will be in before easter. be in place before easter. greater manchester has scrapped a controversial scheme for a clean air zone . mayor andy clean air zone. mayor andy burnham is promising drivers they won't have to pay to use
4:33 pm
roads as he unveiled alternative plans to control air pollution in the city. instead, leaders say investment in buses and taxis will bring clean air to the region much faster than charging drivers . those are your charging drivers. those are your latest news headlines . more on latest news headlines. more on all those stories by heading to our website gbnews.com . our website gbnews.com. >> thank you, polly . now let's >> thank you, polly. now let's get more now on that story. i mentioned a little earlier this hour and how a labour government would tackle the migrant crisis last night, shadow cabinet member peter kyle responded to the rwanda votes by tweeting their five point plan. it's on their five point plan. it's on the screen now and i'll read it out. it's this one on cracking down on people smuggling gangs through a new cross border. police unit to clearing the asylum backlog by recruiting new
4:34 pm
staff. three a new returns agreement with france and other countries for reforming legal routes for refugees to stop them being exploited by gangs. and five, tackling humanitarian cnses five, tackling humanitarian crises at source by helping refugees in their own regions. well, i'm joined now by former chief immigration officer at uk border force, kevin saunders. kevin, always a pleasure to have you on the show. so at last, labour have unveiled a plan, if not officially . you may have not officially. you may have heard me reading it out there. i wonder what your your take is on this. it sounds to me expensive and doesn't sound to me like there's a real clear way of stopping the boats or stopping illegals coming. hello martin. >> yeah, i've got the plan in front of me as well . well, crack front of me as well. well, crack down on criminals smuggler gangs with a new cross border police unit . no, that won't work unit. no, that won't work because british police can work in great britain . they can't
4:35 pm
in great britain. they can't work overseas . that's down to work overseas. that's down to a local police force . it's clear local police force. it's clear the backlog and end hotel use within 12 months. i don't know what planet they're on, but they've come up with this one. you have to train. you have to recruit the staff. you have to train the staff . you have to pay train the staff. you have to pay them properly and you have to stop the staff from leaving, none of which they'll be able to do in a year . none of which they'll be able to do in a year. have a new agreement with france and europe. well, we've been trying to do that for god knows how long. you speak to the french and say, we want a new deal with you over returns. they say, don't speak to us. speak to brussels. that's always the answer. if you can't negotiate with single european countries, you've got to negotiate directly with brussels reform resettlement routes as well. that's i don't actually know what that means. that's i don't actually know what that means . tackle that's i don't actually know what that means. tackle human humanitarian crisis at source.
4:36 pm
yeah, that that's a good idea. so out of the five things that labour have said would tackle the crisis at source is probably the crisis at source is probably the only one that holds wateh >> okay so you give it a one out of five. kevin i thought we were heading for a nil point scenario there, but you gave them one out of five. you're in a charitable mood the one that mood and actually the one that you a good idea, i'd you think is a good idea, i'd like talk because like to talk more about because i it's a terrible idea and i think it's a terrible idea and i'll explain why. tackling humanitarian by humanitarian crises at source by helping refugees in their own regions , to means sending regions, to me means sending huge amounts of money to any country in the world that has a humanitarian crisis. it may be a war. it may be a natural disaster. call it what it is. that to me, kev , sounds like that to me, kev, sounds like foreign aid on steroids . foreign aid on steroids. >> well, it wouldn't just be the united kingdom. it would have to be either for the eu. and great britain or the un. i mean, we do know that probably 80% of
4:37 pm
refugees like to stay very , very refugees like to stay very, very close to their own country . so close to their own country. so there i don't see there's a problem with giving them aid to stay in their own in their own area as much sooner. do that than pay out millions and millions and pounds every day to have them in the uk. >> yeah , i suppose that that >> yeah, i suppose that that wouldn't work. for example , if wouldn't work. for example, if it was a war torn country, for example , they wouldn't want to example, they wouldn't want to stay but are right. stay there. but you are right. and example, in ukraine and for example, in the ukraine crisis, most people crisis, as most people that evacuated ukraine the evacuated ukraine went into the immediate borderline countries and quickly returned . and and then quickly returned. and rather than going halfway around the world, the one you didn't understand there, i spoke to a human rights lawyer earlier in the show, kev, and that's reforming legal routes for refugees to stop them being exploited. what he meant by that, i think, was imposing safe legal routes . so the ability for legal routes. so the ability for people to be able to apply for asylum in the uk while they're
4:38 pm
not in the country, which would stop people coming here illegally. so anybody anywhere in the world can apply for asylum to come here. i guess the flaw with that, kev, is that that would be a great it would be a huge pull for more be a huge pull factor for more to apply. >> everybody will be applying to come to here. you'll have half of palestine applying to come here wouldn't you. they they here wouldn't you. and they they would all be classed as genuine refugees because there's a war going on there. so um, we've heard the talk of, of safe routes before for you. if you're going to have safe routes , going to have safe routes, parliament needs to decide how many people you're going to let come into the uk where they're going to be allowed to come from . and then what you do with the people, the extra people that then turn up afterwards . so you then turn up afterwards. so you know, it's just too to me, it's just talk . that doesn't seem to just talk. that doesn't seem to be anything behind it.
4:39 pm
>> all right , kev, let's let's >> all right, kev, let's let's do a quick bit of role play. so just say that you're not the former chief immigration officer of border force, but you are the current chief immigration officer at uk border force kia storm has just elected as storm has just been elected as the prime minister. hands you the prime minister. he hands you this immigration policy we've just about what do you just talked about what do you say him ? say to him? >> it won't work . say to him? >> it won't work. i'd have to ask him to have a look . >> it won't work. i'd have to ask him to have a look. i >> it won't work. i'd have to ask him to have a look . i mean, ask him to have a look. i mean, keir starmer's a lawyer. he must understand . and that why the understand. and that why the first one won't work and why you can't have british police working in turkey or iran, where where the smugglers are based. i mean, we know we know where the smugglers are . it's a question smugglers are. it's a question of trying to catch the smugglers and getting the local police to actually prosecute them because the nca can't prosecute people in in turkey . and the nca have in in turkey. and the nca have already told every body that
4:40 pm
they can't do anything unless there is a major deterrent in there is a major deterrent in the uk . now, one of the deputy the uk. now, one of the deputy directors of the nca was a very senior border force director at south east ports in europe. and this guy knows more about immigration an than than than than most. and you know, he's he's leading at the nca. than most. and you know, he's he's leading at the nca . and if he's leading at the nca. and if he's leading at the nca. and if he doesn't think it'll work, well goodness gracious . what well goodness gracious. what hope have they got ? hope have they got? >> well, there we have it. former chief immigration officer at uk border force kevin saunders has just ruled his thumb over keir starmer's immigration plan and a sad it won't work. there we go. we like to analyse things as they're put in front of us now on monday. rishi sunak admitted the costs of lockdown will probably be greater than the benefits. so was locking us all down. the
4:41 pm
4:44 pm
4:45 pm
year. yeah >> well, let's speak to our political editor for christopher hope, who joins us this morning after the pm won the battle last night with his with his plan for rwanda. >> but will he win the war? >> but will he win the war? >> government has become absolutely fixated on rwanda as if you like, the silver bullet that's going to stop boats. that's going to stop the boats. it's not. >> this scheme is unethical, unworkable and unaffordable. >> what we saw over the weekend was indicative of the weak leadership that we have from rishi sunak and the total chaos that there is in this government. >> every morning it's breakfast from 6 am. hope you can join . from 6 am. hope you can join. us welcome back. >> it's 446. you're watching or listening to me. martin daubney on gb news. it's now 4:00. i'll have the latest on rishi sunak's future. and already people are saying he's facing the nightmare after christmas . on monday, after christmas. on monday, rishi sunak admitted the costs of lockdown will probably be greater than the benefits he
4:46 pm
referred to. the covid inquiry to a document published as far back as august 2020, which questioned whether treating possible future covid 19 deaths as, if nothing else matters, would lead to bad outcomes. so the big question i'm asking today is this what's locking us down? all that time ago , the down? all that time ago, the biggest mistake in british political history . biggest mistake in british political history. i'm joined now by professor karol sikora , now by professor karol sikora, who's an oncologist and is the former director of the world health organisation cancer program. and indeed , karol was program. and indeed, karol was somebody who from the very, very beginning was questioning the merits of broad brush strokes, lockdown . john, always lockdown. john, always a pleasure to speak to you . pleasure to speak to you. professor sikora . so do you professor sikora. so do you think that the covid inquiry theory in a sense has become a bit of a sham trial? it seems to decided that lockdowns were good. and in fact, when the actual question was brought up , actual question was brought up, sunak said maybe it wasn't the best thing to do. it was brushed to one side or there was no
4:47 pm
analysis whatsoever of that . absolute >> and it's clear the lawyer , >> and it's clear the lawyer, keith kc, didn't really understand what sunak was talking about. unfortunately rishi mispronounced . he called rishi mispronounced. he called it a quali. we call it a quality in medicine. he's obviously not been around too many medics and it's a quality adjusted life year. it's a quality adjusted life year . the poor lawyer didn't year. the poor lawyer didn't know what he was talking about and quality and came up with quality assurance on something. did . assurance on something. he did. absolutely no idea, but he shut him up and the prime minister was prepared to be shut up . and was prepared to be shut up. and then they just moved on. this is then they just moved on. this is the question and the whole the key question and the whole inquiry locked with all inquiry was locked down with all its antecede ints afterwards, before and afterwards . as you before and afterwards. as you know, schools , children, cancer know, schools, children, cancer patients, heart patients , 8 patients, heart patients, 8 million people waiting for something in the nhs. all the consequences of lockdown are in that key question can you put numerical sums and what would
4:48 pm
have happened if you didn't lock down for those diseases where people have suffered and indeed died ? and that's the question. died? and that's the question. >> and carol, he was also pointing out that some of the sage modelling was just based on doomsday scenarios of the maximum amount of children and adults returning to school and the workplace, which didn't happen. the workplace, which didn't happen . but nevertheless, they happen. but nevertheless, they were used to give us the steer. why do you think it is that the big question, the merit of lockdowns at all is simply not being addressed by the covid inquiry . inquiry. >> it is a puzzle why should this be? you know, it is an inquiry . it's this be? you know, it is an inquiry. it's a public inquiry. they can their lawyers doing it, not scientists . and i think not scientists. and i think that's probably the reason the lawyers are looking at mechanisms . lawyers are trained mechanisms. lawyers are trained differently from medics and scientists. and i think a medic would say, look , look at what would say, look, look at what happened.the would say, look, look at what happened. the only purpose of spending 200 or 300 million,
4:49 pm
whatever this inquiry is going to be costing , is going to be to to be costing, is going to be to have something better the next time we have a pandemic. therefore we need to learn the lessons. therefore, we have to really understand what what went wrong, what was the lockdown too early? was it too late? was it necessary? how come sweden did so well? these are not questions. this inquiry is qualified to ask. they can just have a legal bicker as lawyers love to do. highly paid as well. bickering and you hear them in court. medical negligence cases. they just love the sound of their own voices and that's the lawyers. that's not what we want to hear. we want to hear from the scientists, the epidemiologists about what would have happened in alternative scenarios. you can you can put a model on a computer to show what would happen at different stages and i think these are the questions that have to come out and we're not going to see them from this committee. and my personal belief is it should be stopped. we're wasting stopped. now we're just wasting money on this. been
4:50 pm
money on this. it's been interesting the tittle tattle, the lack of whatsapp, i mean, just like private eye, the whole thing couldn't more than thing couldn't be more than private eye explaining in real life how politicians behave . and life how politicians behave. and i'm afraid it's a very sad reflection of politicians , of reflection of politicians, of all parties. nothing to do with one, the ruling party. it's all party sunak got it right. he understood what a quali was, even though he pronounced it wrongly. he understood . he's an wrongly. he understood. he's an intelligent guy. clearly but i'm afraid the lawyers didn't understand what he was on about. >> okay, we'll have to leave it there. thank you for joining >> okay, we'll have to leave it there. thank you forjoining us there. thank you for joining us on the show, professor karol sikora, who called this from the very beginning. now moving on, the candidates the government's candidates for the government's candidates for the chairman has hit the next bbc chairman has hit out at gary lineker's incessant tweeting. sami a'shawn says it appears to breach the corporation's social media guidelines. the match of the day star recently took aim at grant shapps shapps after he questioned whether lineker should be allowed to express political views whilst employed
4:51 pm
by the bbc. and join me now is ex—bbc broadcaster danny kelly. danny always a pleasure. do you think wow. at long last somebody has got some teeth or somebody might sink them into gary lineker it's a shot across the bows, isn't it? >> of course. >> of course. >> i spent 18 years at the bbc. >> i spent 18 years at the bbc. >> martin and i'd like mr lineker to realise how deeply unpopular he is amongst the vast majority of the 18,000 people who rely on their monthly paycheques to pay off mortgages and put food on the table for their families. >> gary lineker, of course, is insulated any of the insulated from any of the financial hardships that the cost crisis has cost of living crisis has brought upon majority of the country. >> and he's acting with impunity. >> i remember at the bbc we would always have a sharp intake of breath whenever lineker got political. >> and this is coming from someone who absolutely adores gary lineker. i'm an everton fan. >> he scored 40 goals for us in one season. i love the guy, but i think he should reflect on the harm he is doing potentially to
4:52 pm
the future of the licence fee . the future of the licence fee. >> whenever people ask about the future of the licence fee and maybe how feel about maybe about how they feel about the bbc, lineker will be in the top three and the other two will be perceived wing bias and be perceived left wing bias and it would be about the licence fee. >> the cost of it, and then you'd have gary lineker face popping up you'd have gary lineker face popping up whenever people ponder the future of the ponder on the future of the licence fee. he's incorrigible. >> too big for his >> he's got too big for his boots. of these boots. he's like one of these prima donna footballers who actually dressing actually ruined the dressing room and eventually they're shipped italia , an shipped off to an italia, an series, a division team. he's got to go. and this is from someone who loves the man as a footballer. and i'm worried about the future of the licence fee well. martin you and i fee as well. martin you and i disagree. >> that you're not fan >> i know that you're not a fan of bbc licence fee. of the bbc licence fee. >> i think there is a place for the bbc in our media landscape, but unfortunately, is but unfortunately, lineker is harming it. >> okay, danny, we've only got a quick minute left. do you think this is a turning point? do you think finally somebody is think that finally somebody is going lineker or going to stand up to lineker or do you think once again, mr teflon with it? no
4:53 pm
teflon will get away with it? no he's incorrigible. >> doesn't care . his activism >> he doesn't care. his activism is important than anything is more important than anything else. martin that's we've else. martin that's what we've learnt over the last three or 4 or 5 years. that's what he cares about. it's his moral compass that's important than that's more important than anything to do with bbc guidelines . anything to do with bbc guidelines. i take you back about 8 or 9 months ago when there was a mobile phone, which was sellotaped to the bottom of a pundit's chair, and it was constantly playing sex noises. the bbc asked lineker to apologise multiple times on air. he refused to do so . he's bigger he refused to do so. he's bigger than the bbc in his eyes, and that's the problem. >> i think mr shaw has got a real battle on his hands with lineker. >> he's got to go. and fortunately. >> okay , danny kelly, we're >> okay, danny kelly, we're going leave it there. >> okay, danny kelly, we're going you. leave it there. >> okay, danny kelly, we're going you. as leave it there. >> okay, danny kelly, we're going you. as ever, we it there. >> okay, danny kelly, we're going you. as ever, forit there. >> okay, danny kelly, we're going you. as ever, for yourere. thank you. as ever, for your acidic points of view. superb stuff. now, prime minister stuff. now, the prime minister has gauntlet to has thrown down the gauntlet to right by setting right wing tory mps by setting out lines for any out his three red lines for any changes to the rwanda bill. we'll have the full analysis on that coming up. i'm martin daubney on gb news britain's news channel. >> a brighter outlook with boxt

gb news. >> good afternoon. it's 5:00. welcome to gb news with me martin daubney keeping you company for the next hour. we've got tons and tons of red meat coming up, starting with the biggest story in town, rishi sunak narrowly avoided a nightmare before christmas last night, he got his rwanda bill through a vote, but is he postponing the misery until the new year? the tory right think the plan is too weak? the tory left think it's going too far.
5:00 pm
never the twain shall meet today rishi has drawn up three red lines to attempt the factions to stop going to war. but are they worth the paper they're written on? we've been through all the detail . we'll have all the detail. we'll have all the latest for you. and when it couldn't get any worse for rishi, he's back. nigel has landed in blighty and straight away steamed into sunak saying he will face a catastrophic defeat at the next general election . even better, tonight, election. even better, tonight, 7 pm. on this channel, the nigel farage show is back. you won't want to miss it. he's lean , he's mean, and he's not short of a thing or two to say next story. what's labour's position on stopping migration ? that's on stopping migration? that's a bit like saying what's labour's position on brexit? none of us knew for years. well, we found out a five point plan tweeted by a shadow minister last night. shortly after that rwanda vote. we've been through it point by point . will it work or is it a
5:01 pm
point. will it work or is it a load of hot air? we'll give you the exclusive verdict . and the exclusive verdict. and finally , it's been a terrible finally, it's been a terrible year for the sussexes. but the good news is they finally won an award . the bad news is they've award. the bad news is they've been named the biggest losers in hollywood. they've had their netflix documentary panned to the biggest losers in hollywood, citing a whiny netflix documentary , a whiny biography documentary, a whiny biography and an inert pop podcast. apart from that, they've had a fantastic year. all of that coming up in the next hour. fantastic year. all of that coming up in the next hour . so coming up in the next hour. so for now , nishi rishi has pushed for now, nishi rishi has pushed the problem until after christmas. but could there be tears in the new year? i think there certainly could be. nigel farage certainly does and he will not want to miss out . will not want to miss out. analysis of labour's mike action plan. we've been through it the last two hours and we think it's not worth the paper it's written

time. it's doing untold damage to and we're to our country and we're determined to tackle it. >> robert jenrick well, the former attorney general , sir former attorney general, sir geoffrey cox, has weighed in, saying a careful approach now needs to be taken on the next reading of the bill. >> if this bill is not allowed to pass substantially as it is , to pass substantially as it is, there will be a growing momentum for something that i personally would regret and be reluctant to contemplate, which would be withdrawal from the european convention on human rights. we are looking at a situation where the democratic house has already asserted in a quite muscular fashion its concept of its sovereignty . and i think we need sovereignty. and i think we need to reflect very carefully on sir geoffrey cox . geoffrey cox. >> now, james bulger's killer , >> now, james bulger's killer, john venables, has been denied parole with the panel ruling , he parole with the panel ruling, he still poses a threat to the public. and venables murdered the toddler when he was ten years old in 1993. and was released on licence in 2000.
5:06 pm
one. he was then re called to prison in 2010 after indecent images of children were found on his computer after james bulger's parents say they're relieved by today's decision . relieved by today's decision. greater manchester has scrapped a controversial scheme for a clean air zone . mayor andy clean air zone. mayor andy burnham is promising drivers they won't have to pay as he unveiled alternative plans to control air pollution in the city. instead, leaders say investment in buses and taxis will bring clean air much faster than charging drivers to use roads. just over £50 million is earmarked for electric buses and £30 million in grants for cleaner taxis. city leaders have pledged to achieve air pollution targets by 2025, a year earlier than planned . that's the news on than planned. that's the news on gb news across the uk on tv , in gb news across the uk on tv, in your car, on digital radio and on your smart speaker by saying play on your smart speaker by saying play gb news. this is britain's
5:07 pm
news channel . news channel. >> thank you, polly. superb now, there's only one place to start, of course , and that's with rishi of course, and that's with rishi sunak paul rishi sunak. there's been big developments throughout the afternoon regarding his rwanda bill. we've since learned that three red lines that the prime minister has set out to get the controversial legislation over the line. and i'm joined now by our political edhoh i'm joined now by our political editor, christopher to go editor, christopher hope, to go over them. so, chris, a nightmare before christmas was avoided, but that could be a nightmare in the new year if the tory right pull the bill apart and also the tory left do the same. so in swoops rishi with his red lines and the big question is what are they and will they work ? will they work? >> that's right. these red lines are to bring viewers up to speed . martin essentially, the miranda bill passed its second reading yesterday with a majority of 44 for the
5:08 pm
government. that was better than expected. the reason why it was so big was the government has promised to harden up this bill. for those on the right who are concerned about it. now, that's what promise was yesterday. what the promise was yesterday. we're now of what we're seeing detail now of what that actually means . so the that actually means. so the government's made very clear that they'll accept amendment amendments for three red lines. and as long as they don't go cross over three red lines, they must be legally credible. well, that's acceptable. have a deterrent effect. that's deterrent effect. now, that's obviously to make sure that the left of the party, the one nafion left of the party, the one nation mps, don't to nation mps, don't amend it, to soften it with the support of labouh soften it with the support of labour, the snp, liberal democrats, and then risk losing the bill altogether because it's been softened and the government needs the support of the right wing through . wing mps to get it through. finally, collapse. the finally, it won't collapse. the scheme aimed squarely at scheme that is aimed squarely at the families the so—called five families on the so—called five families on the the party, maybe the right of the party, maybe 100 or so tory mps who of whom 29 are stained in the vote last night. they think they've got a chance at hardening the language on pulling out of or ignoring
5:09 pm
the echr a bit more , or human the echr a bit more, or human rights laws allowing the uk to fly back illegally arrive migrants from from from the uk to rwanda for processing and staying there . they are told it staying there. they are told it won't collapse the scheme. that means they can't go much further than they have. the pm told us last week in press last week in that press conference that he's gone within an of how far he can go. he an inch of how far he can go. he can't harden it any more. he's saying, well, the red saying, well, these are the red lines. victorious government lines. the victorious government can . i'm proud to can set them out. i'm proud to be the first person who spotted these things. i've been talking to whips and senior tories in parliament and not many noticed this. so i'm trying to make clear that the government is now setting out the boundaries between which you can work and it's a small landing zone. it's a very small landing zone. i the government saying i think the government is saying basically on the basically to opponents on the tory left or right, basically to opponents on the tory left or right , this tory side, left or right, this is it, and you're not going to be able to amend much. be able to amend it much. >> basically a kind of >> it sounds basically a kind of complicated way of saying it's my way or the highway . complicated way of saying it's my way or the highway. i complicated way of saying it's my way or the highway . i guess my way or the highway. i guess the question is, chris that's
5:10 pm
right. yeah, it does. rishi sunak command the authority, though, to throw the gauntlet down like that. i mean, doesn't at the moment seem to be much in control of his party? >> yeah, it is his way or the highway. i mean, i think tory mps are thinking also of the longer term they did want the vote yesterday was as much about small as shoring up the small boats as shoring up the pm's fracturing support . they pm's fracturing support. they want the pm to last until late next year, when interest rates should have fallen and that the government is two years away from last government. the from the last government. the liz truss government, which is blamed lifting blamed by many for lifting interest or interest rates unfairly or fairly. that's view . fairly. that's that's the view. so they think by shoring up sunak , they can get this sunak, they can get this government the line to next government over the line to next autumn election . and i autumn for an election. and i should say that has put labour's position under spotlight. position under some spotlight. we cox on gb news we had geoffrey cox on gb news at lunchtime , he said now at lunchtime, he said now there's a better even there's a better than even chance small chance that small boats, small flights take off, with flights will take off, with people by small boats people arriving by small boats in may. geoffrey cox told us that there's now a better than evens going to evens chance. that's going to happen labour's happen. labour for labour's position there saying they will
5:11 pm
repeal the rwanda act if it gets made into law, whether or not it succeeds, they just find the idea of deporting migrants to rwanda distasteful . that can't rwanda distasteful. that can't happen. that's different to offshore processing, which some countries like germany are looking at. they might look at that. they're not sure that's an idea. possibly they won't rule it out at this stage, but the idea deporting migrants to idea of deporting migrants to rwanda, leaving there after rwanda, leaving them there after they've been processed, that's a real for labour. real problem for labour. and so it's of a challenge for it's an issue of a challenge for them if this does pass by them too. if this does pass by may if flights are taking off, would labour risk repealing it? it's a real chance. if it comes off for the tories to try to drive a real wedge between them and the labour party . and the labour party. >> martin okay, chris, thank you for that update. superb as ever. now, we've already heard from two mps on this show, so two tory mps on this show, so far, and let's now get labour's take this story. and for that take on this story. and for that i'm now by steve mccabe, i'm joined now by steve mccabe, labour . thanks joining labour mp. thanks for joining us, steve. so tory, voters would say they voted to take back
5:12 pm
control of immigration in every in every election since 2010. do you think rishi sunak has even taken back control of his own party? well it doesn't look like it, does it ? it, does it? >> i mean, he looks like a man who's really caught in the middle and whatever way he turns , he's in difficulty. >> i guess the next question , >> i guess the next question, steve, is what would the labour party do? we've already heard from keir starmer that they labour party would repeal rwanda and if you repeal rwanda, what about if the flights do start taking off? what about if it does start to work ? would you does start to work? would you still kill this . bill still kill this. bill >> well, it's a bit hard to see what we would do because i have noidea what we would do because i have no idea what condition this bill will end up in. and it's becoming quite apparent neither do any of the tory mps either, those who voted for it or those who didn't vote for it last night. so it's not easy to call
5:13 pm
on that. i think our fundamental point is £2 million per refugee, whether you send them there or not, seems incredibly high price to pay for a scheme that's fraught with difficulty . and fraught with difficulty. and there's much better ways to spend that money. >> okay, so that's the big question. how would you spend that money better? how would the labour party stop the boats? how would you cut record immigration to this country , both legal and to this country, both legal and illegal? well well, i think yvette cooper was pretty clear on this yesterday. >> we would use money to beef up the intelligence and policing operation to try and cut off the heads of the gangs. that's what's got to be done . that's what's got to be done. that's the target. and that's what we should be focusing our efforts on.and should be focusing our efforts on. and obviously , offshore on. and obviously, offshore processing would be one way of actually sifting people who've got a legitimate claim from those who haven't . and that those who haven't. and that
5:14 pm
would certainly be a sensible way to proceed . why does it not? way to proceed. why does it not? well, i mean, what you have to do is to base legal migration on the needs of the economy. but we're not going to do that. will the government allow us employers to employ people at 20% discount from abroad rather than invest in the skills that's needed for people who are already in this country, born in this country? >> okay . steve, you just >> okay. steve, you just mentioned there that labour would agree with offshore processing . that's news to me. processing. that's news to me. where would that take place ? where would that take place? >> well, what i say sorry , what >> well, what i say sorry, what i said was that is one option and that is something that we've been looking at for some time. it's something that you might do it clearly at the places where there's already people arriving . there's already people arriving. so you might look at countries like turkey, you might look at places like france. it would have been worthwhile for the prime minister to have talked to the greek prime minister about this recently rather than having
5:15 pm
a little spot . a little spot. >> okay, steve, i mean, that's news to me. offshore processing the labour party would look at in turkey and in greece and france. interesting how would that be paid for? what would it look like? and well, i'm afraid. >> martin, go into the details. you're asking me to speculate on something that i said is a possibility . i can't go into the possibility. i can't go into the details or not because i don't know the details of that. but what i do know is it would be infinitely cheaper than the money that's already been committed. now, we understand about 400 million and not a single refugee has set foot in rwanda . rwanda. >> okay, great, sir, thank you, steve mccabe, for joining >> okay, great, sir, thank you, steve mccabe, forjoining us. i think people would love to hear that detail. you know, if offshore processing is going to take greece, turkey and take place in greece, turkey and france, as steve mccabe just intimated, that that's progressive. that's something that i think we would to love cross examine. it sounds eminently sensible. in fact, i
5:16 pm
hope hear more detail on hope we can hear more detail on that in time to come. well, there we go. maybe the labour party is flashing its garter the nearer we get to a general election though. moving on, if rishi sunak thought things couldn't get much worse and i'm afraid wrong because guess afraid he's wrong because guess what? nigel farage arrived back in this morning and he in blighty this morning and he warned the tories they're heading for a catastrophic defeat at the next election. now a warning . there are some a warning. there are some flashing images coming up. nigel landed at heathrow after coming third. of course, in i'm a celebrity . he also a swipe celebrity. he also took a swipe at sunak decision to bring david cameron into the cabinet in desperate trouble. >> headed for catastrophic defeat. they've no idea what's coming down the track towards them. and i think the last thing i heard before i went into the jungle was that cameron was back. but if he's got that bad, they real trouble. they must be in real trouble. and i see that he's just about managed to squeak through a vote on but i mean , it's going on land. but i mean, it's going to make no difference at all. no, they're in dire, dire
5:17 pm
trouble. and all labour have to do is frankly not tear each other apart and play safe and the election's theirs. i think so . 50. >> so. >> there we have it. nigel farage is out of the jungle. he's back. he's lean and he's mean. and he'll present his show live at 7:00 on gb news exclusively this evening . nigel exclusively this evening. nigel farage, 7 pm. the boss is back and you get lots more on the problems facing rishi sunak and the tory party on our website. and thanks to you, gbnews.com is the fastest growing national news website in the country. it's got breaking news and all the brilliant analysis you've come to expect from gb news. and thanks to you for making that happen. now a little later this houh happen. now a little later this hour, we're going to look at labour's plan to tackle the migrant crisis. labour's plan to tackle the migrant crisis . they've been migrant crisis. they've been very quiet on this topic, but it seems they do have a plan. i found it last night. shadow cabinet member peter kyle responded to the rwanda vote by tweeting their five point plan and look as if by magic. here it

their branded the biggest losers in hollywood . and now a missing in hollywood. and now a missing woman whose possessions were found in a riverside park last week is most likely to have entered the water, according to police. mother of three gaynor law was last seen on friday afternoon as she left work early from norwich city centre. well, joining me now is mike neville, former detective chief inspector at the metropolitan police and the former head of the missing persons unit in lambeth. it's always a pleasure, mike, to have you on the show. i guess the first question is, in a missing persons case like this, where do you begin ? you begin? >> well, with of course , the >> well, with of course, the investigators and family liaison officers speaking to the family to ascertain if there's any difficulties, any reasons she might have gone, any contact that she's made . and then, of that she's made. and then, of course, we live in a very technical world, so there's lots of cctv ring doorbells , all of cctv ring doorbells, all sorts of recording devices , dash sorts of recording devices, dash cams on people's cars, and then
5:25 pm
people carry things like mobile phones or apple watches or all manner of things that give off a signal. so there's a technical way of tracing people. and of course , people use things like course, people use things like bank cards . and you can examine bank cards. and you can examine some of these computer. what emails have they sent, where have they made contact with any particular person? what's been said at work. so there's some old fashioned policing of asking questions, but there's also all these digital ways now that you can be tracing people and mike, they've the local superintendent who was hornigold has issued a statement saying there's no evidence that gaynor has come to harm. >> but there's a real possibility she has entered the water. so i guess that's giving us quite a steer now as to the future direction of the rest of this investigation , yeah, it's this investigation, yeah, it's a tragic case and you must feel for the family, the fact that she left clothes and a rings and a mobile phone and then a coat was found in the river.
5:26 pm
>> and if we think back to the anthony knott case, he was the fireman who went missing previously . and then nicola previously. and then nicola bulley, they literally appeared about three weeks after they had entered the river and they entered the river and they entered the river at very similar time, you know, winter time, very cold water. i don't know what the flow of the river is like there, but no doubt the police will be consulted with experts on river speeds, river depths to look into this because they won't want the sort of nicola bulley situation where there are all sorts of weird and wonderful search teams declaring that she wasn't there. and then she was then when she actually surfaced, she was only one mile away from she'd entered away from where she'd entered the and of course for the the water and of course for the police to have issued that kind of statement must mean they are relatively there's not relatively certain there's not foul here from a third party. >> in your experience , mike, of >> in your experience, mike, of deaung >> in your experience, mike, of dealing with families, will that be well come news or at the moment, will they still be clinging on for hope? >> i think we would all cling on
5:27 pm
for hope, but that was our mother or sister or whatever wife we would be absolutely clinging on to hope. and i think hopefully the police have got some lessons learned because the big thing about the lancashire case was the manner in which they the press that they dealt with the press that they dealt with the press that they they painted a picture that nicola was this sort nicola bulley was this sort of normal average housewife. no, no troubles at all. then we found out that the police had been round the house, which caused all sorts of wrongful speculation about the involvement the husband, and involvement of the husband, and then having done all that, they started to release all sorts of personal data a medical personal data about a medical conditions which was completely unnecessary. so hopefully those lessons have been learned because that will cause even more hurt to a family and the norfolk police seem to be deaung in norfolk police seem to be dealing in a in a very dealing with this in a in a very professional . professional manner. >> okay. thanks for that. mike neville, chief neville, former detective chief inspector metropolitan inspector at the metropolitan police. thanks for that update on gaynor case. now the on the gaynor lord case. now the nhs gp, who also runs an extremist islamic group, has
5:28 pm
been referred for investigation by his nhs trust after he described hamas terrorists as freedom fighters. dr. wahid shaida is already facing an investigation after footage emerged of him leading a rally in central london in october, where some people were heard chanting for jihad where some people were heard chanting forjihad . well, chanting for jihad. well, reporter charlie peters joins me now in the studio for this exclusive update on on this extraordinary story. >> well, we've heard from the general medical council in the last hour that they are aware of the concerns that have been raised with them about this doctor. also known by a pseudonym, abdul wahid , where he pseudonym, abdul wahid, where he has been running this islamist, this extremist organisation . and this extremist organisation. and many critics claim for several years. but he's also been a family doctor in north—west london since 2002. a salaried gp within the nhs . and so many within the nhs. and so many questions today about how this man can work with patients in a particularly jewish area. of course , while also failing to
5:29 pm
course, while also failing to condemn hamas for failing to condemn hamas for failing to condemn the activities of october the 7th, where, of course they carried out that brutal attack and other footage surfaced last month. he said that the attack damage to the enemy and he described hamas as brave mujahideen , an islamic brave mujahideen, an islamic term for so—called holy warriors. it's often used in that context , so very much full that context, so very much full of praise for the actions that they carried out on that day . so they carried out on that day. so not only are they asking how is he still a gp, how is he still operating today, but why hasn't this organisation been suspended as well ? now we understand that as well? now we understand that as well? now we understand that as of sunday we know that the home office is reported to be looking into prescribing this organisation. but this isn't the first time this has happened in 2005, after the seven over seven attacks, then prime minister tony blair also considered doing it. david cameron did the same after chris grayling in 2009 said that a tory government would ban the group, but it just
5:30 pm
hasn't happened. and of course in october we mentioned in the intro that shouting in a rally of jihad where dr. abdul wahid was seen there calling for armies to intervene in the conflict , then education conflict, then education minister robert jenrick said that people who shout jihad in the street should face the full force of the law. but the met's extraordinarily did not say that any offences had been committed. the question now is after these recent comments that happened on monday night and the nhs reporting them distressing reporting them as distressing comments , will the comments today, will the government further action? government take further action? >> well, that's the big question . how how do you reconcile being nhs doctor and thinking hamas aren't terrorists? an extraordinary story . thank you extraordinary story. thank you very much, charlie peters, for bringing us up to speed with the latest exclusive live lines. now, there's lots more still to come between now and 5:00. and i'm to take a close look i'm going to take a close look at plan to tackle the at labour's plan to tackle the migrant crisis and ask, will it work? or will it be yet more of the same? and does sir keir

5:34 pm
eveh >> thank you, polly. superb as ever. now, let's get more on that story i mentioned a little earlier in this hour, and it's this how a labour government would tackle the migrant crisis . would tackle the migrant crisis. last night, shadow cabinet member peter kyle responded to the rwanda vote by tweeting this this five point plan, it's on your screen now and it goes like this 0.1 cracking down on people , smuggling gangs through a new cross border police unit 0.2 clearing the asylum backlog by recruiting new staff 0.3, a new returns agreement with france and other countries . returns agreement with france and other countries. 0.4 reforming legal routes for refugees , fees to stop them refugees, fees to stop them being exploited by gangs. and finally , 0.5, tackling finally, 0.5, tackling humanitarian crises at source by helping refugees in their own regions as well. to pick over that now is former minister for europe denis macshane, who joins me via the link. what do you make of this, denis? i mean, it's taken a while to find labour's migration plan and we
5:35 pm
have five points. you've been through it, no doubt. what do you make of it? it's actually quite old, but don't quite know why. >> peter kyle tweeted it because that's been around for some time andifs that's been around for some time and it's work in progress. look, there isn't a single country in europe that's got a five point plan, a ten point plan, a rwanda plan, a ten point plan, a rwanda plan that's made a great deal of difference. nor is the united states nor even as poor rwanda's that's taken in 180,000 refugees from neighbouring countries. so we've got people movement on a scale we haven't seen before in the history of humanity going on right now. and the idea that there's an off the shelf proposal of any sort that's really going to settle it all down is for the birds. labour at least is talking about cooperation. it's talking about drawing a better practices , not drawing a better practices, not this ludicrous. rwanda business of sending 100 people plus it's £500 million we're sending now. i mean, the crooked corrupt, you
5:36 pm
get rwanda governments laughing all the way to the bank as our taxpayers money is being shelled out for them, doing absolutely nothing . nothing. >> okay. well, denis, kevin saunders is a former chief immigration officer at border force, went through this five point plan earlier. he gave it one out of five. and the only one out of five. and the only one he liked was the idea of tackling humanitarian crises at source. and i haven't seen that from labour's previous plan that seems to be new and tagged on and my interpretation of that correct me if i'm wrong, means sending loads of money to other countries. if there is a crisis , countries. if there is a crisis, a war, a natural disaster to me this is foreign aid on steroids. >> yes , but don't forget we've >> yes, but don't forget we've cut our foreign aid drastically. >> i mean, that was a decision . >> i mean, that was a decision. i don't know if it was boris johnson or david cameron. the tories are just mean , mean, tories are just mean, mean, mean. can't see a poor mean. they can't see a poor country part of britain without making poorer. they can't see a

poor country world poor country in the world without wanting be poorer. without wanting it to be poorer. so cut foreign aid so we've cut our foreign aid massively . other countries massively. other countries haven't been that generous either . and as a result, what either. and as a result, what was just about a tenuous existence is now people are getting on their bikes and saying, we are going to where all the rich people are. they won't help us. we'll come and help them grow their economies and try and make some money. so yeah, i agree that that is a sensible way forward , but it's sensible way forward, but it's going to take a lot of serious money. we just under estimate what is going on. we're all focussed on cop 21 at the moment , but people movement now is destabilising every western democracy and economy and nobody's coming up with a real answer. and you don't think that shovelling millions or perhaps billions of pounds into every country around the world that has a problem, um, is going to destabilise britain or destabilise britain or destabilise our economy? >> and what about having a new
5:38 pm
agreement with france? emmanuel macron has always said has already said that's for the birds. go and speak to the eu . birds. go and speak to the eu. if you go speak to the eu, that means 100,000 means heaven's sake, 100,000 of their into our their immigrants into our country anyway. so how will any of this reduce immigration? and it certainly won't reduce the bill. >> i'd certainly look at the french bit of that , which rather french bit of that, which rather surprised me because emmanuel macron was humiliated in his parliament. i think on tuesday or wednesday night when his migration plan was thrown out by a combination of the far left and the far right. if you think of jeremy corbyn and mark frost, who are coming together in france and they're people defeated, mac caron. so he's now struggling to work out his own migrant problems . and the migrant problems. and the paradox is we did have a return agreement with france a few years ago, but the funny thing is the french sent more back to us than we could send to them. people don't really know how
5:39 pm
these things work , but much these things work, but much better to be talking with anybody in europe , talking with anybody in europe, talking with mr sunak's , going to the mr sunak's, going to the political party conference of the far, far right prime minister of italy, giorgio maloney, who comes from a mussolini party a long time ago. good he's going down there to schmooze with her. she's got some very odd views on gay people, on women, and she's a manic, absolute manic against vegans and people who don't eat meat. she thinks we should all be eating ten steaks a day. i'm not sure how rishi will handle that, but it's still better to be to talking her to finding out any ideas. she's actually cut a deal with albania . she's kind of deal with albania. she's kind of rented tiny bit of albania . rented a tiny bit of albania. and there's going to open a reception centre there and some processing there. i don't make a big difference. but she's also said 425,000 non—eu eu migrants are welcome to come to italy to fill the labour shortages
5:40 pm
because there aren't enough workers in europe, as we've discovered to our cost. in britain, the government brought in 962,000 people. in the last count from india, pakistan, nigeria , uganda. we'll see what nigeria, uganda. we'll see what the consequences of that are over the next few years. >> okay, denis mcshane, thanks for joining us. seems to me more forjoining us. seems to me more money, more migration and round and round we go. thank you very much. now, on that topic of europe, you thought we'd left the eu well, yesterday, get this, the european commission approved . £20 million in uk approved. £20 million in uk state aid to companies in northern ireland. i'm joined now by baroness kate hoey to try and make some sense of this. kate, it's always a pleasure to talk to you. but can we just start with the basics? how in the name of mary jiggins does there still exist a uk state aid budget from the eu and it's put into
5:41 pm
northern ireland? i thought we'd left the eu. >> well , sadly, left the eu. >> well, sadly, martin and more and more people, i hope, are beginning to realise that northern ireland has been left, you know , lock, stock and barrel you know, lock, stock and barrel really under eu rules and under the eu court. >> and the latest one that comes out each week practically , out each week practically, there's something new comes out. this one is that this is uk money. it's not european union money, but in order for northern ireland to benefit from state aid, which the rest of the united kingdom does, the european union has to actually agree it. this was all part of the detail of the windsor framework, which as you know, was brought to in protect the eu internal market. and therefore we had an irish sea border introduced. but i don't think anyone really , or very, very few anyone really, or very, very few people looked at the detail and saw just how wide the tentacle really of the eu involvement is. now, in part of the united
5:42 pm
kingdom, despite the vote in 2016 that the united kingdom was going to leave the european union, that just hasn't happened i >> -- >> and kate, you made a very pertinent point when you said how can any prime minister of the uk think this is right? and also there are implications for other territories as well, aren't they, to surrender to a foreign institution like this? and that has implications for other british controlled areas around the world. >> yes, i mean, it really will go down in history eventually when someone looks at all this, how a british prime minister and a british government could have literally be really sold out, part of the united kingdom for no other reason than to satisfy the european union about a tiny amount of trade that crosses the border into their territory. and my view has always been that if the eu want to protect their internal market, they should jolly well that in their own jolly well do that in their own territory of course what
5:43 pm
territory. but of course what i also said was that, you know, if this can happen to part of the united kingdom, know, a very united kingdom, you know, a very close knit to england , wales and close knit to england, wales and scotland, then, you know , i scotland, then, you know, i would just be slightly wary of being in gibraltar or being in the falkland islands because , the falkland islands because, frankly, if the government can do this to northern ireland, who knows what in the future ? this knows what in the future? this not necessarily this government, but a government can do to those territories . and i just do wish territories. and i just do wish that british people would waken up to the fact those who haven't already , that the windsor already, that the windsor framework was a complete sell—out it has to go and there will be no devolution in northern ireland again until all it is it has gone. >> and kate , it's four years to >> and kate, it's four years to the day that boris johnson won that sweeping 80 seat mandate majority on the ticket of get brexit done. this single piece of evidence you're providing to us here today surely proves we did nothing but get brexit and
5:44 pm
this proves we didn't get the job done at all. >> no. and i think if i think there's no doubt about it, that if boris johnson had stayed, he recognised that they had signed up to something that was not sustainable and something would have happened . i mean, we just have happened. i mean, we just saw it this week with rwanda saw it this week with the rwanda bill. to apply bill. it wasn't going to apply in was saying it in theory. they was saying it was to northern was applying to northern ireland. but once again we were going to be out were going to be left out and we were going to be left out and we were going to be left out and we were going to under eu immigration going to be under eu immigration rules, course all rules, which of course had all sorts sorts of sorts will have all sorts of repercussions for people coming from northern ireland into great britain next thing they'll be asking to have control for, people will have to show our identity as we cross over. so every week something new happens and it definitely brexit has not been done. northern ireland had the same ballot paper and yet they been abandoned really they have been abandoned really by by the current government and particularly what's happening at the moment . the moment. >> and kate, finally, do you think that the windsor framework, the feeling that brexit wasn't done, the feeling
5:45 pm
that northern ireland is still annexed and we can still see here the eu still has its tendrils into the area, might that help explain the dup's votes yesterday against rishi's bill rhiannon the bill? >> well, no . think think. sammy >> well, no. think think. sammy wilson explained it very well yesterday in parliament when he spoke and it was very specifically that the section we are not being able to get removed in the same way that the rest of the uk would be removed if this legislation went through. you know, it may have other problems with it, but it certainly has a problem that northern ireland, because of the windsor framework and because of being rules , will not being under eu rules, will not being under eu rules, will not be able to be part of it. and i think, you know, the dup realised that. and of course anyone the union anyone who believes in the union of great britain and northern ireland wants to ireland believes and wants to see could not see it strengthened, could not possibly be supporting things that continually make us further and further apart. >> okay. baroness kate hoey ,
5:46 pm
>> okay. baroness kate hoey, thank you very much for joining us on gb news. it's always a pleasure to speak to you. thank you very much and you care. you very much and you take care. now, some of you might think harry meghan are losers and harry and meghan are losers and now agrees. now a hollywood bible agrees. i'm martin daubney on gb news britain's news channel .

rwanda bill last night, the legislation comforted be passed with a majority of 44. but there will be further votes in the new year. yeah >> well, let's speak to our political editor for christopher hope, who joins us this morning. the pm won the battle last night with his with his plan for rwanda , but will he win the war? rwanda, but will he win the war? >> has become >> government has become absolutely on rwanda, as absolutely fixated on rwanda, as if you like, the silver bullet that's going to stop the boats . that's going to stop the boats. >> it's not this scheme is unethical, unworthy , able and unethical, unworthy, able and unaffordable . unaffordable. >> what we saw over the weekend was indicative of the weak leadership that we have from rishi sunak and the total chaos that there is in this government i >> -- >> every morning it's breakfast from 6 am. hope you can join . us >> welcome back. now the big man is back tonight , of course, is back tonight, of course, nigel farage only landed in the uk this morning. it'll be back on gb news in just over an houhs on gb news in just over an hour's time. he'll be presenting his only on gb news

5:52 pm
