hacking by the mirror group newspapers . between 2006 and newspapers. between 2006 and 2011. the judge also said the duke of sussex's phone was probably hacked to a modest extent. in response , the extent. in response, the publisher says they apologise unreservedly where historical wrongdoing took place, prince harry's lawyer, david sherborne, read out this statement earlier this case is not just about hacking, it is about a systemic practice of unlawful and appalling behaviour, followed by cover ups and destruction of evidence. >> the shocking scale of which can only be revealed through these proceedings . the court has these proceedings. the court has found that mirror group's principal board directors, their legal department, senior executives and editors such as piers morgan clearly knew about or were involved in these illegal activities . illegal activities. >> the home secretary says the government must and will do more

after one person died and another was left in a critical condition in the english channel condition in the english channel, a boat carrying migrants sank about five miles off the coast of dunkirk overnight. more than 60 people were rescued . james cleverly were rescued. james cleverly described the incident as a horrific reminder of the people smugglers brutality. but chair of the labour party, anneliese dodds says the government is not doing enough to stop criminal gangs. >> labour wouldn't be spending that money on rwanda. i wateringly expensive £400 million, it appears, is going to be spent on that scheme . and yet be spent on that scheme. and yet it would only cover about 1% of people who are arriving in the uk. labour does have a different approach and above all, it's focussed on breaking up those criminal gangs. >> uk police are working with french authorities to bring back a british schoolboy who went missing six years ago. alex batty, who is now 17, went missing in 2017 after going on a

family holiday to spain. detectives believe he was abducted by his mother to live an alternative lifestyle abroad. assistant chief constable from greater manchester police chris sykes gave this update earlier a warning that some of the images is contains a lot of flashing . is contains a lot of flashing. >> our main priority now is to see alex returned home to his family in the uk and our investigation team are working around the clock with partner agencies and the french authorities to ensure they are all fully supported . alex and all fully supported. alex and his family remain our focus and we still have some work to do in establishing the full circumstances surrounding his disappearance and where he has beenin disappearance and where he has been in all those years. >> police divers have marked out a specific area of water in their search for missing mother of three gaynor, lord gaynor lord went missing after leaving work in norwich city centre last friday. specialist divers are conducting a search in the river

it's back to emily and. tom. >> now good news for prince harry. he's won 15 of 33 articles in his phone hacking lawsuit against mirror group newspapers , after the high court newspapers, after the high court ruled the publisher had indeed been responsible for extensive phone hacking between 2006 and 2011. yes, 15 out of 33 for those who can count, that's almost half. >> the judge also said that harry had experienced hurt by mirror group's concealment of their wrongdoing, and awarded their wrongdoing, and awarded the duke of sussex over £140,000 in damages. >> yes, mirror group newspapers has since apologised unreservedly for historical wrongdoing. >> well, let's go now to the royal courts of justice and speak to our royal correspondent , cameron walker. cameron was this an expected outcome today . this an expected outcome today. >> well, tom, it's certainly one which prince harry will very much feel vindicated . as you much feel vindicated. as you said, 15 of the 33 articles he has won in this case against mirror group newspapers. his day in court back in june, certainly

has paid off. or should i say two days in court, if you remember, he subjected himself to two days of brutal cross—exam by mirror group newspaper lawyers. but the judge has ruled that prince harry was indeed a victim of phone hacking and other means of unlawful information gathering by journalists working for mirror group newspaper publication . so group newspaper publication. so that's the daily mirror sunday mirror and sunday people as well, and has been awarded . well, and has been awarded. £140,600 in damages . but for £140,600 in damages. but for prince harry, it's not about the money. i think it's fair to say he sees it as his life's mission to really take the british press on in tabloids in particular, and change the way they operate . and change the way they operate. he sees himself as a victim. you mentioned in your link there that he's been truly hurt by some of the articles being written about him. those articles include stories about his relationships with family members, including prince william , his ex—girlfriend william, his ex—girlfriend chelsy davy , and his time in the

chelsy davy, and his time in the military as well. um, but i think what instead of a judge's statement itself, i think what's been more powerful is the statement which prince harry's lawyer, david sherborne, read out in court a little bit earlier on. uh, so he said that he says that this speaking for prince harry, that this is a great day for truth and accountability. he said that this case has revealed the shocking scale of systematic and appalling behaviour. the judge ruled that piers morgan clearly knew about phone hacking. that is something that piers morgan has always denied . we do not has always denied. we do not have a separate statement this morning from from the former editor of the daily mirror. as of yet . if we do get that, we of yet. if we do get that, we will bring it to you. he also said that harry's commitment is based on a real need for a free and honest press. that is what what prince harry is striving for. he also called on the metropolitan police to prosecute and to investigate those who he

believes have done wrong and bnng believes have done wrong and bring charges if necessary. as you said, mirror group newspapers have released a statement saying they apologise unreservedly for the historical wrongdoing. but this is far from oven wrongdoing. but this is far from over. prince harry's fight against the british press is far from over. he has another three three separate cases against newspaper groups, including associated newspapers, publisher of a daily mail, mail on sunday and as well as news group newspapers , publisher of the sun newspapers, publisher of the sun and the now defunct news of the world over alleged unlawful information gathering. another separate libel case against the associated newspapers and another case against the british home office over their decision to not provide him with the same degree of police protection when he was when he stepped back as a working member of the royal family. so today, very much a victory for prince harry. but it's a long way to go. it's a long road. >> yes, it is a long road. lots

and lots of court cases to come. what is next? are we expecting prince harry to return to the uk at some point? will he be present for future court heanngs present for future court hearings ? hearings? >> i think it's highly likely. thatin >> i think it's highly likely. that in the future court heanngs that in the future court hearings for the sun and indeed the for the sun, that nats news group, newspapers and associated newspapers, when those two alleged unlawful information gathering trial, i gathering cases go to trial, i would suspect would a would suspect he would also be a witness as well. witness in those cases as well. remember in june for this remember back in june for this case against group case against mirror group newspapers, harry was the newspapers, prince harry was the first senior royal in 130 years to take to the witness box to give evidence. the world world's media descended on this court building behind me. the royals building behind me. the royals building and part of the royal courts of justice to listen to prince harry speak in court. and i suspect because he's done well in this court case, he's won 15 out of 33 articles. he will definitely give him a confidence boost to do the same thing when it comes his cases against

it comes to his cases against the associated newspapers and news group newspapers, i must stress both associated and stress that both associated and news group, both deny the allegations made against them. now thinking about the allegation , thinking about the allegation, thinking about the parts of this case that harry won versus the parts he did not win, this is being described as a victory for prince harry across the board. >> but of course he won only 15 out of 33 counts. what didn't he win ? well, the judge in his win? well, the judge in his ruling made the point that prince harry very much felt that every article written about him or what he believed was an intrusive article written about him, resulted from him phone hacking, because at the time , hacking, because at the time, um, uh, phone hacking was so widespread among mirror group newspaper journalists, not just to do with prince harry, but other high profile figures who are being targeted by

journalists. >> that's what the judge has ruled. so judge was ruled. so so the judge was saying that essentially , saying that essentially, although perhaps although prince harry perhaps believes it was phone believes that it was phone hacking, could have come from hacking, it could have come from other means, and there just simply wasn't the evidence to come some kind of conclusion come to some kind of conclusion on the balance of probabilities, but still 15 out of a 33 cases has landed him with £140,000, 600 worth of damages . 600 worth of damages. >> hmm. very interesting indeed. thank you, cameron walker, for bringing us the latest . our bringing us the very latest. our royal correspondent there. of course . now, shall get some course. now, shall we get some more let's speak to more reaction? let's speak to former bbc royal correspondent michael cole. michael you've been following these various cases. been following these various cases . what's your instant cases. what's your instant reaction to what we've seen today? is this big victor for today? is this a big victor for prince harry? >> but afternoon, emily. >> but afternoon, emily. >> good afternoon. tom, make no mistake, this is a major victory . a day of vindication for prince harry. it's also a day of shame and humiliation for mirror group newspapers . as, uh. well,

group newspapers. as, uh. well, the tabloid press in general, uh, i believe that this is a moment as grave as the terrible case of milly dowler, the young girl in surrey who was abducted and murdered while tabloid journalists were hacking her phone , allowing her mother to phone, allowing her mother to believe that she was still alive. it is as serious as that. and uh, prince harry will take particular interest. i think , particular interest. i think, uh, in the fact that the judge , uh, in the fact that the judge, mr justice fancourt , uh, said mrjustice fancourt, uh, said there was an aggravating factor for, uh, that information about what was going on. rose as high as the executive suites and indeed, the boardroom of mirror group newspapers , papers. so group newspapers, papers. so there's potentially criminal behaviour there for the, the, the, the costs , the, the damages the, the costs, the, the damages that have been accrued and assessed at £140,600. they're quite modest, but that is not the point . the point is that

the point. the point is that he's managed to prove that he was being his phone was being hacked, and stories were being blagged. that's my other words. using illicit and deceitful means to obtain information about him, which should not have been done. he only really had to choose to prove one of those cases. he proved 15 out of out of 33, and that is quite enough for him. and, uh, the statement that he issued, which is his barrister read out, i mean, it had his fingerprints, it had his tone of voice, whether he wrote it or he dictated it. talking about vendetta journalism, this is without any doubt his day in court . he has triumphed. and court. he has triumphed. and i think there will be some serious meetings going on at other newspaper groups. uh because the implications of this judgement today are widespread and very serious for the british press . serious for the british press. >> absolutely. and of course , >> absolutely. and of course, prince harry has further legal

cases against other newspapers, but also against individuals, even against the government. in one case, not all about phone hacking, of course, but i suppose this will put some wind in his sails for his future legal crusades . legal crusades. >> absolutely. i think he's got the bit between his teeth. if we talk about it in equestrian terms. he's really going for it. he feels a zeal. he's, uh, he's on a crusade , and nothing i on a crusade, and nothing i think will hold him back. now, as cameron said so expertly earlier . uh, as cameron said so expertly earlier. uh, i think there are four other cases going at the moment. he is certainly the prince of litigation, and he's not going to give up now, i think this this victory will certainly hearten him . um, and certainly hearten him. um, and i have no doubt that it's a very difficult thing for him to have done because it opened him up to all sorts of scrutiny , a problem all sorts of scrutiny, a problem he does have to a certain extent is the fact that he's invaded his own privacy on many, many occasions . uh, with his book, occasions. uh, with his book, 'spare, published in january and

with the television programs that we've all seen and perhaps some of us have enjoyed and others less so. um, he's been talking about his family's making statements. he's been giving interviews. and in a, in a way, he's being he's been talking about his private life . talking about his private life. what he's objecting to is the illicit, illegal and frankly, quite scandalous way, uh, old fleet street used to operate against him. and i think to some extent, to be fair to some of those practices, are no longer pursued. but they certainly were when he was a younger man. and that's been proven in court. and he's , uh, he's due his he's, uh, he's due his vindication . uh, and we have to vindication. uh, and we have to say that he's had it and in spades. >> um , this definitely seems to >> um, this definitely seems to be a life , a life ambition in be a life, a life ambition in terms of what he's going to do next. thank you very much, michael cole, bbc, former bbc royal correspondent. thank you very much for your time as always. it's a it's a tricky one. my sympathies sometimes does dry with prince does run a bit dry with prince harry, but i guess this is a

vindication. >> this is one of the more clear cut cases, isn't it? there are some others where perhaps there's sympathy with there's less sympathy with regard demand that the regard to his demand that the british up his british taxpayer picks up his security the rest of it. security and all the rest of it. but does seem that but but this it does seem that there a clear transgression. there was a clear transgression. uh, but other news, german uh, but in other news, german and danish police have successfully a hamas plot successfully foiled a hamas plot to jews in europe with the to kill jews in europe with the danish prime minister describing the plot as being as serious as it gets . it gets. >> this in total, seven suspected hamas operatives were arrested across denmark, germany and the netherlands, but some are warning that hamas's decision to no longer find itself confine itself to attacking jews in israel is a very worrying sign. >> so what could it mean for us here in the uk? might hamas have operatives on our streets? let's speak to the former head of counter—terrorism at the ministry of defence , chip ministry of defence, chip chapman. chip thank you so much for joining us. is this to be forjoining us. is this to be expected that this conflict and the these potential for attacks

will spill beyond the borders of gaza ? uh, the palestinian gaza? uh, the palestinian territories and israel ? territories and israel? >> well, it would be a new thing for external ops planning to be conducted by hamas. so that would be extraordinarily new and a worrying and escalate development. now, we actually see, uh, divide these things into three types. so the first type would be directed from and controlled by. that's essentially what the arrests here have done. that is very difficult to get through, because the larger scale plots and the more people you have involved , you get leakage from involved, you get leakage from the plotters and the competence of the security agency is often can find those . so i don't think can find those. so i don't think you'll too see much of that. and of course, there's a very little plausible deniability from that. the second group would be sort of endorsed by that is, if an attack takes place and, um, they say i did this on behalf of hamas. hamas might well say he

was a soldier of hamas. hamas. hamas might well say he was a soldier of hamas . but the was a soldier of hamas. but the more worrying one, i think , is more worrying one, i think, is the energising of the single issue terrorist , and that is issue terrorist, and that is inspired by what is going on in gaza at the moment. that is worrying because you often, in terms of the israeli either west bank or gaza , uh, things get bank or gaza, uh, things get what we call flare ups, and each flare up is generally in the past been of a very short order. so, for example , the 2021 so, for example, the 2021 operation guardian of walls in against the palestinian islamic jihad. actually, in that case in gaza was 11 days. the 2014 intervention by israel was 19 days. and the 2008 intervention was 18 days. now we're up to nearly day 70, and it's that which endures. and of course, the counter—terror strategy from the counter—terror strategy from the uk, which was revised in um in july this year, did say that terrorism is enduring and evolving. i think we're going to see another turn here of the

endunng see another turn here of the enduring and evolving, and it is those , um, single issue those, um, single issue terrorists, the lone wolves, essentially, that's what they were called before , uh, because were called before, uh, because the haystack is getting bigger and the needle is getting smaller. it doesn't mean an attack is inevitable . it does attack is inevitable. it does mean that we'll see more hate crime. we've already seen that in terms of anti—semitism. um, anti—islam actions. and we've also seen more extremism in terms of the referrals to the counter—terrorist , uh, um, uh, counter—terrorist, uh, um, uh, internet referral unit in the ct hotline, counter—terrorist hotline, counter—terrorist hotline and in the number of people who've been reported to the prevent strategy. that is one of the elements of the counter—terrorist strategy. >> well, this is one of the concerns well are prevent concerns how well are prevent program these program and identifying these individuals that potentially individuals that are potentially being taking on being radicalised and taking on an ideology , and an extremist ideology, and whether they will then go to on commit terror attacks, how well are we doing terms of are we doing in terms of identify tying those individuals that could potentially be a threat ? threat? >> well, you have to separate again, two things there.

>> so, um, the prevent strategy is to stop those who have been radicalised going into obviously a plotting. and if they were radicalised to the point of view that they were attack plot plotting, they would be in the pursue part of counterterrorism , pursue part of counterterrorism, that is, they would be picked up by the agencies and the counter—terrorist police. so it's not a linear progression from any of these things. so just because you've got more people who've been reported to the counter—terrorist hotline doesn't mean that there will be a algorithmic progression to more terrorism . it might lead to more terrorism. it might lead to more terrorism. it might lead to more investigation , but that is more investigation, but that is a good thing. if they then triage that in terms of the subjects of interest and those who might have previously been closed, subjects of interest, and therefore investigated and if necessary, arrested . now, if necessary, arrested. now, most of the arrests at the moment have been, uh, really to do with, uh, you know, prescription , uh, sort of prescription, uh, sort of offences. those who've been supporting hamas through, uh, through speech, not through, um, progressed to, uh, terrorism

itself because very few plots actually go into direct action lethality . and that's why there lethality. and that's why there are very few terrorist attacks in the uk because of the competence of the security agencies. doesn't mean it won't happen. agencies. doesn't mean it won't happen . those lone wolves happen. those lone wolves ehhen happen. those lone wolves either, by a bladed weapon or vehicle as a weapon on the entry point for that is quite low. you just need to have a capable hand or a driving licence and of course, as that old adage goes, our counter—terrorism forces have to be lucky every single time . time. >> um, the terrorists have to be lucky once, but, uh, chip chapman, thank you so much for talking us through those, uh, pretty concerning developments on continental europe. >> indeed . now, coming up, >> yes, indeed. now, coming up, our home and security editor joins latest on the joins us for the latest on the sad death in channel sad death in the channel overnight, one person remains in a condition . see you a critical condition. see you very shortly. uh just to in very shortly. uh just to jump in here, a body has been found in norwich. >> of course , we were looking at >> of course, we were looking at that gain or lord case. we've been looking at it all week to repeat, the police have found a

bodyin repeat, the police have found a body in norwich. much more on this as we get it

officers. so that's what norfolk police have said . they haven't police have said. they haven't formally identified the body, but gaynor lord's family have been informed and of course, the body was discovered and this morning the news has only just been released by norwich police. >> but the body was found in a narrowed underwater search. this morning. it has now been recovered from the water. of course , the family being course, the family being informed , although the body not informed, although the body not yet formally identified . now the yet formally identified. now the media and the country has been told. but this has been the most cunous told. but this has been the most curious story still. so many unanswered questions. why did gaynor lord leave work early? why did she rush across town? we heard one instance of a witness seeing her doing yoga in the park next to the river wensum , park next to the river wensum, where now a body has been discovered. this has been a very cunous discovered. this has been a very curious tale and a very

distressing thing. seven days? >> yes. so just to reiterate that the police force have confirmed that they recovered a body from the river wensum, the family of gaynor lord have been notified. the body is yet to be formally identified . we'll be on formally identified. we'll be on the scene in just one moment after your latest headlines with . lisa. >> it's just after half 12. i'm lisa hartle in the gb newsroom specialist divers searching for missing mother of three in norwich have found a body in the river wensum. gaynor lord went missing after leaving work in norwich city centre last friday. norfolk police say while the body hasn't formally been identified, gaynor's family have been informed they continue to been informed they continue to be supported by specially trained officers. prince harry says it's a great day for truth and accountability. after being

awarded more than £140,000 in damages over phone hacking claims against a tabloid newspaper group, the high court ruled there were extensive phone hacking by the mirror group newspapers between 2006 and 2011. the judge also said the duke of sussex's phone was probably hacked to a modest extent. in response, the publisher says they apologise unreservedly where historical wrongdoing took place , the home wrongdoing took place, the home secretary says the government must and will do more after one person died and another was left in a critical condition . in the in a critical condition. in the engush in a critical condition. in the english channel, a boat carrying migrants sank about five miles off the coast of dunkirk overnight. more than 60 people were rescued . james cleverly were rescued. james cleverly described the incident as a horrific reminder of the people smugglers brutality . uk police smugglers brutality. uk police are working with french authorities to bring back a british schoolboy who went missing. six years ago. alex batty, who is now 17, went

in that direction . but around in that direction. but around 11:00 they moved to this area and cordoned off this road where we are at the moment, just over my right shoulder , there was a my right shoulder, there was a boat which was searching there with the underwater specialist team, who are still there with forensic teams, but in the last few minutes we have had confirmation from norfolk police in a statement saying police searching for missing norwich woman gaynor lord can confirm a body has been found in the river wensum. police searching can confirm that a body has been found here and the body was found here and the body was found by underwater search teams this morning and has now been recovered from the water. and they went on to say while the body hasn't formally been identified , gaynor's family have identified, gaynor's family have been informed , they continue to been informed, they continue to been informed, they continue to be supported by specially trained officers . now, of trained officers. now, of course, in the last few days we have been seeing a huge team , have been seeing a huge team, around 60 officers working from morning to the evening, working

alongside norfolk police as lincolnshire police. those specialists have been here. uh each and every day. but of course that is the latest. although they haven't confirmed that identification of the body. police do say they have informed gannon's family. >> thank you very much , theo, >> thank you very much, theo, for bringing us that. just a reminder there on the screen, we're looking at cctv footage of gaynon we're looking at cctv footage of gaynor, lord on the day that she disappeared . we now find out disappeared. we now find out that a body has been recovered from the river wensum in norwich, but yet to be formally identified. >> what an extensive search operation it has been indeed. well, coming up, nearly a million households will see their council tax go up. we'll have more on this and whether it affects your area after this

only want to inform you, but we want to keep you entertained. >> the camilla tominey show sunday mornings from 930 on gb news . news. >> good afternoon britain. it is 1239 in the afternoon and it is your council about to go bankrupt because it seems more and more of them are nearly a million households will see their council tax go up. that's after labour run councils in bradford cheshire east have bradford and cheshire east have warned risk of going warned they are at risk of going bankrupt. they may have to issue one of these section 114 notices, which essentially means they're unable to balance their books. so it's not a great state of affairs. >> certainly not. let's dig into

the detail now with the head of campaigns at the taxpayers alliance, elliot keck and elliot , does this mean that where councils go bankrupt, , does this mean that where councils go bankrupt , those who councils go bankrupt, those who live within the jurisdiction of those councils will see their tax go up ? tax go up? >> well , good afternoon, tom and >> well, good afternoon, tom and emily. it almost certainly will. the, uh , examples of bankrupt the, uh, examples of bankrupt councils from the previous financial year. croydon slough and thurrock all saw their council tax rise not just by the 5% that most places saw, that 5% being the referendum cap above which you'd have to hold a local vote. they saw their council tax go vote. they saw their council tax 9° up vote. they saw their council tax 90 ”p by vote. they saw their council tax go up by ten or even 15. so if you look at the examples of birmingham , nottingham, woking birmingham, nottingham, woking and possibly cheshire east, i think that's certainly on the cards. and i think that's certainly going to be something that's going to be threatening household bills when those council are , uh, requests go council tax are, uh, requests go out in april . out in april. >> elliot. now the taxpayers alliance is often quite critical

about waste when it comes to local councils. you highlight where their misusing taxpayers money, spending too much on things that don't really matter. but aren't we sometimes a little bit too harsh with these councils? they have got an awful lot to do , so many services, so lot to do, so many services, so many demands. um, is it understandable that they might have to put council tax up ? i have to put council tax up? i think when you can always look at councils on an individual bafis at councils on an individual basis and some councils do face serious pressures that may need small rises in council tax. >> but to take the examples of the councils that have gone bankrupt, all of them are individual cases quite individual cases of quite catastrophic financial incompetence and mismanagement. max caller , who is the local max caller, who is the local government commissioner that has been sent to birmingham to try and sort out the finances, has been absolutely excoriating, has called it a self—inflicted disaster from the council. in the case of nottingham, they

tried to set up a not for profit energy firm that went spectacularly wrong and thurrock, slough, croydon you see similar cases. so there are individual councils that are relatively well run, but nevertheless face pressures, particularly social care. and particularly on social care. and there's an individual element of council allows you to council tax that allows you to put up dedicated for specifically social care. but when we're talking about some of these ten, 15% rises that we may be seeing as a result of bankruptcies, i think it is really the town halls that are to blame. >> is an issue here with >> is there an issue here with regard to disconnect between regard to a disconnect between economic activity in an area and the revenue of a council in many countries around the world? if, if a council area i don't know approves construction or, or gets businesses operating in their local area, they have some of that uplift . their local area, they have some of that uplift. in their local area, they have some of that uplift . in the their local area, they have some of that uplift. in the uk. almost all that money goes to central government instead of going to local government. are the structures here simply really bad incentives for creating cash in the first

place? >> yeah. tom i think you're absolutely right. i think , uh, absolutely right. i think, uh, look, the funding of local government is too centralised and it should be centralised. we've put forward proposals for something like a local income tax, but actually, i think you're being a little too generous on council as they are allowed to reclaim a significant amount you amount of business rates. you obviously section 106 obviously have section 106 payments, when payments, which is when a developer building a new developer is building a new property or construction project, and they have to pay the council in order to fund local services. so there is an incentive for councils to build . incentive for councils to build. but it's just very, very frustrating that so many have been taken over by a culture of nimbyism in which actually they'd uh, ask they'd rather to, uh, ask their local taxpayers for more money rather than using the construction projects and the various developments that could construction projects and the vari0l some alopments that could construction projects and the vari0lsome economic that could construction projects and the vari0l some economic growthyuld construction projects and the vari0l some economic growth tod bring some economic growth to the area. >> yeah. and, elliot, i'm not sure where they're sure where they think they're going this money from. going to get this money from. people pressed it is people are hard pressed as it is across country. but am across the country. but am i right in thinking usually right in thinking that usually councils uh , hold some councils have to, uh, hold some kind of local referenda , um, to kind of local referenda, um, to increase taxes higher than 5? so

do they have to actually or can they get it the sign off from, uh, from westminster. >> so what they will do and uh, nottingham have already indicated that they're going to do this is they'll make a special request to essentially to michael gove, who's the relevant secretary of state for them be allowed to increase them to be allowed to increase council that 5% council tax above that 5% referendum limit that you mentioned. that's what happened. as croydon , as i said, with croydon, thurrock and that is thurrock and slough and that is i unfortunately, what's i think unfortunately, what's going to happen with birmingham and they face and nottingham and they face council for the council tax rises for the average payer of average bandy payer of potentially 280 and £362 for birmingham and nottingham respectively . if they're allowed respectively. if they're allowed that 5,015% level, slightly lower. if it's 10, why is it that just now we're seeing so many councils going bankrupt? >> obviously in birmingham there was an issue with regard to gender pay and some court case that was lost and all the rest of it, but why across the country are we seeing so many bankruptcies and why in mostly labour as well ?

labour run councils as well? >> i mean, labour certainly have had the recent examples of birmingham and nottingham, to be fair to labour, uh, thurrock was conservative run , as was woking conservative run, as was woking when it actually got into financial trouble, albeit not concerned of run any more. i think basically , uh, a variety think basically, uh, a variety of council tax rises, uh, low interest rates , uh, government interest rates, uh, government funding has allowed to paper over the cracks , uh, for council over the cracks, uh, for council budgets for many , many years. budgets for many, many years. now that you've seen central government funding a bit more restricted, although it has gone up in recent years, now that you've seen a of inflation, you've seen a bit of inflation, you've seen a bit of inflation, you've higher interest you've seen a bit of inflation, you'v actually, gher interest you've seen a bit of inflation, you'v actually, the' interest you've seen a bit of inflation, you'v actually, the alreadyt you've seen a bit of inflation, you'v actually, the already poor rates actually, the already poor state councils finances state of the councils finances have essentially been exposed. and that's why you're seeing this, uh, beginning trend . this, uh, beginning trend. >> thank you very much. elliot keck, who is the head of campaigns at taxpayers alliance. have a fabulous weekend. i'm sure will. sure you will. >> um, it's interesting, we constantly talk about, oh , how constantly talk about, oh, how bad that interest rates bad it is that interest rates have potentially have gone up, but potentially what was really bad in the first place is how low they were. and we got used to running the whole

country on free money, on borrowed money. and now we're facing the consequences of that poor decision making for years and years and years, people running on easy, cheap credit. it's not a sustainable way to run an economy. and as soon as interest rates go up, even by a little bit, it tips everyone over into a sense of chaos. >> yeah, i just, uh, it's hard not to roll your eyes when you see some of the things these local councils will spend money on. um, whether it's, you know , on. um, whether it's, you know, a festival of something or another or changing road signs or, you know, all of this , this or, you know, all of this, this sort of stuff, they do waste a lot of money. i wonder if there's some efficiencies that could be made before they ask people to pay so much. definitely in council tax. and it's quite lot your it's quite a lot of your outgoings actually. council tax, depending on where you are. um, it can eat into your, uh, it really can eat into your, uh, disposable income if you've got any. >> certainly can. >> certainly can. >> makes me angry . >> makes me angry. >> makes me angry. >> well, in other news, that

will surely make emily not angry at all. please scotland says 29 stations are now at risk of closure as it seeks to raise funds to plug . guess what? funds to plug. guess what? a budget gap . budget gap. >> gosh. fettes and leith stations in edinburgh and glasgow. stewart street station are among some the buildings are among some of the buildings that sold off well. that could be sold off well. >> the deputy chief constable, malcolm it had malcolm graham, says that it had a large and ageing estate that was no longer fit for purpose . mm. >> well joining us now is our scotland reporter, tony maguire . scotland reporter, tony maguire. tony, why are so many police stations at risk then. is it just a case of not enough money to keep them open ? to keep them open? >> good afternoon , tom and emily. >> and indeed good afternoon, britain. i would say that it's probably a part of that. i think we need to remember that police scotland was actually formed back in 2013, when eight different regional police agencies came together, all under one banner. >> now what police scotland have said today was that really , they

said today was that really, they state, as you say, isn't fit for 21st century policing and that this is all really part of modernising the combined estate which they got together in 2013. >> now i'm outside stewart street today in glasgow. one of the stations you mentioned there , and this is one of 29 that are facing closure all across scotland. >> but unfortunately the bad news doesn't stop there. >> there's another 16 properties either vacant or land with no building , that police scotland building, that police scotland are looking to , to sell off to are looking to, to sell off to to, bridge this funding gap . and to, bridge this funding gap. and beyond that there is yet another 14 closures will be introduced at a later date. so the arithmetic aficionados among you will know that that's around 59 properties that police scotland are currently looking at. just now. now, unsurprisingly , now. now, unsurprisingly, opposition um , politicians are opposition um, politicians are coming out quite strong and hard against this move. russell

findlay, who's the scottish conservative shadow justice minister. well he said that pointed out that this all comes after 140 stations have already closed under the snp . meanwhile, closed under the snp. meanwhile, the david kennedy, who's the scottish police federation general secretary, has said that he blames the £2 billion gap. um or sorry funding that has been reduced for police scotland over the last decade. and again , the last decade. and again, scottish labour have called this another unnecessary hammer blow to scottish policing . i think if to scottish policing. i think if we take a small step back and we just look at the bigger picture very quickly, um, you know, scotland's crime rates are actually fairly good, just now we're looking at about 528 per 10,000 populace and back in 2004, 2005. wow. well that was up over 1000 crimes per 10,000 scots. now so even with that , scots. now so even with that, last month we saw that the chief constable, jo farrell, asked for

an extra £128 million to fund a gap - an extra £128 million to fund a gap . um, but certainly police gap. um, but certainly police scotland very much sounds like it's on the ropes at the minute andifs it's on the ropes at the minute and it's going to need a lot of government help when we hear the budget next week. yes it does indeed, and i've read that humza yousaf is thinking about raising taxes middle earners and taxes on middle earners and higher earners. >> i guess there huge >> i guess there is a huge financial gap in the scottish government. thank you very much for your time. tony maguire, our scotland mean, scotland reporter. i mean, scotland reporter. i mean, scotland alone. hundreds scotland isn't alone. hundreds of police stations in england and been closed and wales have been closed in the last decade so, the last decade or so, but scotland in having scotland is alone in having amalgamated all these different police so that police forces into one, so that now the police force is in now the same police force is in charge of gretna green and the outer hebrides is . outer hebrides is. >> it's very odd. it's now the largest police force in the country. >> well, so you think that means it wouldn't work? there >> it'sjust it wouldn't work? there >> it's just the geographic spread of it. i'm not sure. this idea of sort of centralising and consolidating and all the rest of it has clearly led to some of

these decisions. >> now, this is a bit of a rishi sunak special, this one. british teens could soon be learning teens could soon all be learning good decision making teens could soon all be learning goorstudying decision making teens could soon all be learning goorstudying literature making teens could soon all be learning goorstudying literature until ng and studying literature until the of 18. while some could the age of 18. while some could be engush the age of 18. while some could be english under be taught business english under rishi plans for an rishi sunak's plans for an advanced british standard qualification. well, suppose qualification. well, i suppose engush qualification. well, i suppose english to 18 would match maths to 18. >> but it would be a major overhaul of a—levels, which the prime minister announced back at his party conference. he wants pupils to study five subjects instead of three and take engush instead of three and take english and maths until the age of 18, right . of 18, right. >> let's get the thoughts now of mathematics teacher bobby seagull. bobby, thank you very much for joining seagull. bobby, thank you very much forjoining us. i want to drill down into the maths bit of this because i understand that rishi sunak wants to children to be learning about. mortgage rates, how to get a mortgage, how to fill in a, in a tax return. is this a good use of uh is this a good use of teaching time? i wonder if a more of a

back to basics approach is what we should be having. what do you think? >> so i think it's a combination of both because , um, according of both because, um, according to a charity called national numeracy emily tom moore, numeracy emily hand tom moore, 1 in 2 adults in the uk actually have the numeracy standard we'd expect from an 11 year old primary school child. >> that's 1 primary school child. >> that's1 in 2 adults out >> so that's 1 in 2 adults out there have the numeracy skills from an 11 year old primary school child, so clearly that's not acceptable. >> so again back to basics >> so again the back to basics making sure people have got their arithmetic and basic decimals percentages, decimals and percentages, the things function decimals and percentages, the thidaily function decimals and percentages, the thidaily life. function decimals and percentages, the thidaily life. but function decimals and percentages, the thidaily life. but again, function decimals and percentages, the thidaily life. but again, onection decimals and percentages, the thidaily life. but again, one ofyn in daily life. but again, one of the things i'll tell you, emily and tom, that sometimes i'm and tom, is that sometimes i'm quite sure i'm about five, five, occasionally a stratford station . some my . i bump into some of my old students. they'll be like towering above me and say, hello, mr seagull. i'm like, do i you? and say, oh, i know you? and they'll say, oh, sir, our teacher. and sir, you're our teacher. and they'll the they're they'll most of the time they're sir, you're a great teacher. but they'll often tell me the thing that really want to learn that they really want to learn at especially regarding at school, especially regarding maths, practical maths, is the practical bits of maths. how to maths. like, again, how to understand to understand tax, how to understand tax, how to understand mortgages. so understand rent, mortgages. so again, mathematical

again, these are mathematical skills. their view i just skills. but in their view i just just that though is there not just on that though is there not a those who may want a problem for those who may want to go and study maths or to go on and study maths or economics or business at at university city, they need they need all the theory to need to know all the theory to get their qualifications. >> so this might be useful for people are leaving school people who are leaving school age 18 not on to age 18 and not going on to further those who further study, but for those who are to on more academic are going to on more academic studies , would it not just be studies, would it not just be eating into that time? >> again. again this is >> yeah, again. again this is all about finding a compromise because the reality is, if you spend more time doing the sort of practical day to day functional you're going functional maths, you're going to for the to lose some time for the theoretical maths, which again enables mathematicians , our enables our mathematicians, our physicists and scientists to develop. depends develop. so again, it depends on ultimately what does the government see as purpose of government see as the purpose of our education. is it to sort of inspire young minds again, teach them about the literature of shakespeare and chaucer and the mathematics of newton and leibniz? or is it to make sure that we have young people that are deal in the real are equipped to deal in the real world? and i think somewhere in between, about

between, you know, about politics, nuanced politics, there's a nuanced answer not about answer where it's not all about just chaucer and calculus, but it's just it's not all about just practical, gritty verbs practical, nitty gritty verbs and write an email. and how to write an email. somewhere in the middle, there's some answer. and again, somewhere in the middle, there's sthink answer. and again, somewhere in the middle, there's sthink with answer. and again, somewhere in the middle, there's sthink with this;wer. and again, somewhere in the middle, there's sthink with this particularagain, i think with this particular scheme, advanced scheme, with advanced british standard, government standard, i think the government said it might take to said it might take up to ten years overhaul current years to overhaul the current a—levels. you know , i'm a—levels. so, you know, i'm intrigued gets intrigued to see if it ever gets there. but think in principle there. but i think in principle i do support the idea of having a a—level because, a reformed a—level because, again, parents generation again, our parents generation will the gold will talk about the gold standard, level don't standard, the a level i don't think it's quite what it used to be. anything makes be. so anything that makes britain upstanding again in education, i sort flawed education, i can sort of flawed quietly . quietly and it is strange. >> of we whittle >> of course, we whittle everything down to three by the age of 18, almost other age of 18, almost no other country not america, age of 18, almost no other cou france, not america, age of 18, almost no other cou france, not not america, age of 18, almost no other cou france, not germany,nerica, not france, not germany, certainly not east asian countries either. but bobby seagull, much for seagull, thank you so much for talking that big talking us through that big proposed yes, lots more proposed reform. yes, lots more to come in the next hour. >> so stay with us. >> so stay with us. >> looks like things are heating up boxt boiler as sponsors of whether on gbillionews . i'm alex

whether on gbillionews. i'm alex deakin and this is your latest weather update from the met office for gbillionews is dry but cloudy day for most today. >> quite breezy as well. now most places will be dry but we are going to see further outbreaks of rain across northwest scotland and that will continue the continue for much of the weekend. high pressure is dominating down to the south, but times will but weather fronts at times will be toppling as i said, be toppling in. so, as i said, bringing some rain over the highlands the western isles highlands and the western isles getting also a getting quite windy here. also a bit breezy elsewhere, but most areas dry and cloudy. there areas just dry and cloudy. there areas just dry and cloudy. there are some breaks in the cloud across eastern england, so you may brightness, may get a glimmer of brightness, a of sunshine, but say most a hint of sunshine, but say most just having a grey day. fairly mild though despite the lack of sunshine . eight nine degrees in sunshine. eight nine degrees in the east, 10 or 11, maybe 12 for the east, 10 or 11, maybe 12 for the west. the rain may ease for a time over northwest scotland this evening, but we'll see further outbreaks coming further outbreaks of rain coming in the night time in here through the night time penod in here through the night time period staying very windy . period and staying very windy. also bit breeze, also elsewhere. a bit breeze, a lot of cloud and some mist and fog patches are possible as

river, which may be able to see just over my right shoulder and if we can as well, just see just over my right shoulder. there's a bush area just there and the underwater specialist team moved to this area, which is around 100m from the area. they had been searching over the last couple of days. this sort of happened quite quickly before 11 am, and it wasn't quite clear where they were going , but we where they were going, but we did follow them and they came to this area and shortly after that we began to see a forensic van turn up, and then in the last houn turn up, and then in the last hour, we saw that confirmation that a body has been found, although not formally identified, but norfolk police have said they have been in contact with gaynor lord's family. now, the 55 year old went missing last week , a week went missing last week, a week today she left her workplace just after 2 pm, just over an hour before she was due to leave and she was seen going through town. we saw those car tv images

this week and that was part of the police's investigation. to find out what had happened. but of course , in that statement of course, in that statement they did say the body was the body was found in the river by underwater search teams this morning and has now been recovered and as well, just to reiterate, while the body hasn't been formally identified, gaynor's family have been informed and they continue to be supported by specially trained officers. >> the theo. for those of us who were who haven't been at an investigation like this, you've been down by the river for a few days, or at least a couple of days, or at least a couple of days. days, or at least a couple of days . what's the investigation? days. what's the investigation? the search being like have. it's been very methodical, moving, moving down, down the river for. >> yes. so. well, they started , >> yes. so. well, they started, i'd say a couple of hundred metres in this direction . the metres in this direction. the river flows this way towards the city centre of norwich , and city centre of norwich, and they've been working each day, progressively moving towards

this direction . we did see some this direction. we did see some specialist officers in a boat coming towards this direction yesterday , but they did then yesterday, but they did then return. but it is today though that they did come back this way and they started focusing on this area in particular, an area which they hadn't done so earlier here this week. but of course , that news they did say course, that news they did say they have found a body this morning following those investigations . investigations. >> and theo, we're now expecting a press conference coming up within the hour . yes within the hour. yes >> so just after 2 pm, we're expecting to hear from chief superintendent dave buckley, who you heard from? yes today. and he's going to be providing the latest update with more further details, will presume we're not quite sure what he's going to say in that, but we've just been told that he's going to provide some further updates and perhaps they may be able to give some further information on stuff they hadn't disclosed in the last few days. >> well, we'll look forward to

that around 15 minutes. time that in around 15 minutes. time but theo chikomba, for now, thank you very for joining us. >> us. >> thank you. theo now prince harry has hailed today as a great day for truth as well as accountability. that's after winning on 15 of 33 articles in his phone, hacking lawsuit against mirror group newspapers . against mirror group newspapers. >> yes, the high court ruled that the publisher had indeed been responsible for extent of phone hacking between 2006 and 2011, and awarded the duke of sussex over £140,000 in damages. >> the mirror group newspapers has since apologised unreservedly for historical wrongdoing. >> let's go now to the royal courts of justice , where our courts of justice, where our royal correspondent cameron walker, has been following the case and cameron, this is a significant win for. harry. >> are you? absolutely, tom. i mean, his two days in court back in june where he gave evidence inside the courtroom, the first senior to do so in 130 years has certainly paid off. prince

harry, as you've been saying, has hailed this as a bit of a victory, a vindication for him. he's been awarded more than £140,000 in damages from mirror group newspapers, who he accused , and the judge has ruled, um , , and the judge has ruled, um, that harry is a victim of phone hacking and other means of unlawful communication. uh, unlawful communication. uh, unlawful information gathering, including blagging or so—called deception, to get information and the use of private investigators so journalists can take that information that the investigators get and write intrusive stories about prince harry that was the allegation. and the judge ruled that 15 out of the 33 articles in prince harry's case did in fact result from unlawful information gathering. now, the judge said that prince harry's phone was probably hacked to a modest extent , but what the probably hacked to a modest extent, but what the judge disagreed disagreed with harry on was that every single article of the 33 resulted from phone hacking, but the judge did

accept and concede that prince harry probably thought that was the case because these phone hacking was so widespread at mirror group newspapers at the time . in fact, the judge said time. in fact, the judge said there was extensive phone hacking by mirror group newspaper journalists between the years 2006 and 2011. even to some extent during the leveson inquiry. now, that was the inquiry. now, that was the inquiry looking into media practices, including alleged phone hacking across all media in the united kingdom around that time. but then we had prince harry's lawyer, david sherborne, come out and speak to journalists. he delivered a statement on behalf of prince harry. just to summarise, he said this is a great day for truth and accountability . he truth and accountability. he said the case reveals the said that the case reveals the shocking scale of systemic and appalling behaviour by journalists at mirror group newspapers. he also said and reiterated what the judge said, that piers morgan clearly knew about phone hacking. piers morgan was a former editor of the daily mirror. he in the past

has always denied allegations of wrong doing. we do not have an updated statement from piers morgan at this time. uh, david sherborne , prince harry's sherborne, prince harry's lawyer, also said that prince harry's commitment is based on the need for a free and honest press. he also called on the metropolitan police and prosecuting authorities to investigate , bringing charges investigate, bringing charges against the company and those who broke the law, now mirror group newspapers, in response, has apologised unreservedly for historical wrongdoing . but historical wrongdoing. but prince harry's fight against the british press is far from over. yes, he's won against mirror group newspapers , but he has two group newspapers, but he has two separate um uh , law cases or separate um uh, law cases or court cases going through the high courts against associates newspapers and news group newspapers, both of which deny the allegations that were expecting trials for them in the new year. cameron what do you think? >> uh, prince harry means when he says the mission continues ? he says the mission continues? booths. that's in the statement

that was, uh , read out by david that was, uh, read out by david sherborne, his lawyer. the mission continues. sherborne, his lawyer. the mission continues . what do you mission continues. what do you think he'd like to see in terms of a free and honest press ? of a free and honest press? >> well, let's look at the background to prince harry. first of all, i mean very tragically, his mother, princess diana, died in a car crash in 1997. the driver was drunk. they weren't wearing seatbelts , but weren't wearing seatbelts, but they were being chased by paparazzi . and since then, paparazzi. and since then, prince really has , uh, had prince harry really has, uh, had a hatred. i suppose, to certain fractions of the press as he grew up , when fractions of the press as he grew up, when he was a teenager and in his early 20s, thousand of articles were written by british tabloid journalists about his private life. of course, not all of them were written with information, uh, obtained through unlawful means. but some, as we have seen in the judgement today, were obtained from unlawful information gathering and prince harry spoke of both in court back in june and in his witness statements that he experienced paranoia and depression and the fact that he

felt he couldn't trust anyone because he was trying to figure out how on earth it was that this private information in which he had only told to a select group of close friends and family members, had ended up in domain . and the in the public domain. and the judge in 15 of judge has ruled that in 15 of those cases , his um articles , those cases, his um articles, um, unlawful information was as well. the information was obtained unlawfully, either through hacking prince harry's phone or those phones as close to prince harry as in his perhaps his former girlfriend chelsy davy, or courtier as etc. or other means such as hiring private investigators or blagging to get that information. so he's very much, uh, continuing that mission against british press to change the culture, um, of british media, a big goal there. >> thank you very much indeed. cameron walker of royal correspondent there. well let's get more now with the royal commentator giuditta da silva . commentator giuditta da silva. >> and thank you so much for joining us, giuditta. it does seem that there have been a lot

of cases that harry has involved himself with. there are more that are ongoing. some in the eyes the average british eyes of the average british observer, might seem egregious. his his desire to have the british taxpayer pay for his security and all the rest of it. but i suppose this this case today has been pretty clear cut . today has been pretty clear cut. >> i mean , definitely, and also >> i mean, definitely, and also it speaks to a validation about what he's been talking about when it comes to the practices of the press, particularly towards him and his family, because at the end of the day, in a court of law, they only deal with facts, not with conjecture or opinion. >> and so it's important >> and so it's an important thing that reason why he'll thing that the reason why he'll have many cases is because have so many cases is because it's practice across the it's a practice across the press. certain types of press. so certain types of press. so certain types of press. so certain types of press. so to single out one paper one paper there paper here or one paper there would make petty and would make it look petty and vindictive and it's something personal. trying send personal. he's trying to send a message that it's a universal practice and a universal operation standard that to operation standard that needs to change, needs to shift, change, that needs to shift, that be policed better, that needs to be policed better, and having it begin with this victory kind of send victory will kind of send a

message to the rest of the papers that the relentlessness of harry, that some condemn him, is actually something that should be lauded. because when you rage against the machine, when you go against an when you go up against an institution that is so big, it is possible the voice of is possible that the voice of one the tenacity of one can one and the tenacity of one can speak to truth and end up with a victory that speaks to justice. >> mm juditha i think there's a there's a difficulty because, of course, when it comes to unlawful information gathering thatis unlawful information gathering that is wrong, and it is right that is wrong, and it is right that harry has , um, shine shone that harry has, um, shine shone a light on this and won damages to that effect. but sometimes we get the feeling in this country that prince harry simply doesn't like anything negative being written about him or his wife. um, so there's a sort of i'm very sympathetic with the case, and i think a lot of british people will be because phone hacking simply is not right. and it's something that we don't want to see in a free and honest press. prince harry is absolutely right about that. but as he also got a bit of a thin skin it to skin simply when it comes to criticism, um, i think when you

are famous on the level that the british royal family is, is famous, and when you know you operate at the mercy of public opinion, negative things really do ricochet and reverberate within the halls of the firm when he was part of it. >> and even more so now. so to put that just on harry isn't fair. all celebrities, all people in the public. i know that it doesn't matter how many nice things people say, it's the negative comments that really get at you. but now he's also operating in a situation where managing his brand managing managing his his brand managing opinion is really important to his sustainability in the business he is doing. so it's a business he is doing. so it's a business model. so it's not something just he does. they all do it, but to the point that you made. yes, he does tend to have a thin skin when negative things are most people do, are said. well most people do, but it's something going to but it's something he's going to have increasingly learn how have to increasingly learn how to because they will to navigate because they will never go away. it's par for the course you are famous course when you are famous on the level that he is, and you no longer have the protection of

the firm. >> yes, and of course, there is that ongoing criticism he's that ongoing criticism that he's quite private quite happy to reveal private details from his own life and also the life of the royal family at the same time. so it's also the life of the royal fivery at the same time. so it's also the life of the royal fivery muchz same time. so it's also the life of the royal fivery much a;ame time. so it's also the life of the royal fivery much a mixed me. so it's also the life of the royal fivery much a mixed picture it's also the life of the royal fivery much a mixed picture ,:'s also the life of the royal fivery much a mixed picture , but a very much a mixed picture, but certainly this is a win for him today. thank you very much. judnh today. thank you very much. judith royal judith de silva, royal commentator. interesting. >> . well, uh, coming up, our >> yes. well, uh, coming up, our homeland security editor joins us for the very latest on the tragic death in the channel overnight. one person remains in a very critical condition. more on that shortly

sunday mornings from 930 on gb news. who's . good afternoon news. who's. good afternoon britain. >> it's 1:23 now. one person britain. >> it's1:23 now. one person has died overnight after trying to cross the english channel. >> the french coastguard was alerted to a boat carrying migrants five miles off the coast of dunkirk. they were able to rescue 66 people as the boat began to sink. >> one other migrant remains in a critical condition . but for a critical condition. but for more on this, now is our very own home and security editor mark white. mark mark, these are always tragic incidents, but i suppose to some extent are inevitable when you have large numbers coming across in rickety boats. yeah especially when you get to this time of year, because the weather windows are far fewer than they are during the summer, when you get periods of flat calm conditions that could last a week or more. >> plenty of opportunity for

these small boats to cross in these small boats to cross in the winter , though, you get the winter, though, you get a run of bad weather. in fact, we haven't had any boat crossings for more than a week now and then today, where it's just about passable , all the small about passable, all the small boats take to the water and that's what happened . but i say that's what happened. but i say just about passable . the just about passable. the conditions are still so, uh, pretty awful out there with significant sway . ls and 12 knot significant sway. ls and 12 knot winds from the northwest , not winds from the northwest, not just in the last, uh, ten minutes or so. uh, some migrants have arrived at dover. uh, they were taken off by the border force vessel hurricane there. another border force vessel? uh rangeris another border force vessel? uh ranger is picking up another group of migrants. so we believe that, uh, four more small boats have come across in addition to that boat that got into difficulty in the early hours of this morning. and we're learning that the person who died was a

woman . uh, we don't know the sex woman. uh, we don't know the sex of the person who was flown to hospital in calais, but they are described as critically ill at this time. now, james cleverly , this time. now, james cleverly, the home secretary, has been responding to this. he said that it highlights the horrific brutality of the people smugglers, labour anneliese dodds has been speaking as well . dodds has been speaking as well. she says that the government needs to do much more to go after those people smugglers , as after those people smugglers, as it does have a different approach and above all, it's focussed on breaking up those criminal gangs. >> so we would be making sure that we had a joint elite police unit that was focussed on these criminal gangs that was actually prosecuting the individuals, because we've seen the rate of prosecutions of criminal people smugglers actually going down over recent years. we need to have a focus on that. we need to be processing claims as.

>> now our parliamentarians all agree that these crossings must be stopped, not least because they're so dangerous as this incident has highlighted. so much disagreement about how you do that though. >> yes . and obviously rwanda is >> yes. and obviously rwanda is the one big issue that the two big parties have, uh, completely opposing viewpoints on. clearly the conservatives see this as a very significant moment. uh, proposal that if it was actually to come to fruition, they believe would act as a disincentive , that would help disincentive, that would help break the people's smugglers model. labour does not believe that at all. you heard from anneliese dodds. there their focus would be on going after the people smugglers . i focus would be on going after the people smugglers. i mean, to be fair to the government, uh, the national crime agency , other the national crime agency, other law enforcement partners are doing just that. they are going

after the people smugglers. but it's not easy to go after these criminal gangs that have grown in sophistication over recent years, that have, well sourced suppues years, that have, well sourced supplies for boats and other equipment that they need to get across the channel and who have across the channel and who have a ready market of thousands of people , more than 29,500 so far people, more than 29,500 so far this year, who want to cross, who are more than willing to pay 2 or £3000 to get on these boats . despite the risks . . despite the risks. >> and after these sorts of incidents, do we see a reduction incidents, do we see a reduction in the numbers crossing, or does it have very little impact at all? >> none at all. i mean, people just factor the risk in to their journey . and yes, of course , um, journey. and yes, of course, um, it's a shock. i'm sure, for everyone that's in the camps in calais and in dakar and dunkirk, when the information comes back about what's happened out in the

channel. but that doesn't put them off. i mean, these people have travelled in, in many cases thousands of miles . they will thousands of miles. they will have already in the majority of cases, crossed a bigger sea in terms of the mediterrane in, uh, to get to the mainland europe and then up towards northern france. this is the very last leg they realise there's always a risk in crowding on these inflatables in less than ideal weather conditions, but that's the last leg that they've come. so far for, and it's not going to put them off. but sadly it's safe when we get to this time of yeah safe when we get to this time of year. what happens out in the channelis year. what happens out in the channel is that with the swells, the waves , the winds pushing the the waves, the winds pushing the boats back, that means that these these often very flimsy vessels that are made to order in backstreet factories in china and then shipped to turkey for onward travel, caught up to the european union, um, you know ,

european union, um, you know, there are not the most robust of vessels by any means. and when they hit these big swells that can be enough just to sort of pull them apart at the at the seams. there really, really tragic scenes . tragic scenes. >> mark white, thank you so much for bringing us detail, for bringing us that detail, that information and that assessment to now, earlier we were speaking about rishi sunak a replacement. a levels replacement. >> that's in a bid to teach young people good financial decision police decision making. well, a police initiative lancashire has initiative in lancashire has seen from year five and seen children from year five and six at a local primary school inducted as mini cadets. >> well, the goal is to build community relationships and give pupils skills for life. for the last eight weeks, they've been working with different emergency services. >> our north west of england reporter , sophie reaper, went reporter, sophie reaper, went along to see the mini cadets learning basic cpr and to find out what the initiative is all about, what? >> skills for life . i've learned >> skills for life. i've learned right at the start of theirs for these year five and six pupils

turned mini cadets. they're gaining valuable knowledge whilst also getting the chance to work alongside our emergency services . services. >> the idea is that we try and break down some of the barriers that are in the community, where not everyone is in full support of the police, so we work with the children and we bring them out of school for an hour. we bnng out of school for an hour. we bring many other agencies out to work with them. the fire and rescue and north west ambulance , rescue and north west ambulance, and we try and show them that we are actually here to help and protect them. >> might go up to them and we're going to say hello . going to say hello. >> hello, can you hear me? this session saw the cadets learn bafic session saw the cadets learn basic cpr from the north west ambulance service . ambulance service. >> this is just one of many activities across the eight week course . tell me what your course. tell me what your favourite thing is you've learned so far during the cadets, when we saw the fire engine and we got to spray water, probably everything a

fire engine, because we got to like explore what the stuff was and we got to use the hose and it was really fun. >> probably the session because i just like it, like >> probably the session because ijust like it, like helps >> probably the session because i just like it, like helps me to realise that, you know, how to do cpr now. so if i can see anybody like having problems, i can just help them tsitsipas the sessions , focus on getting the sessions, focus on getting the cadets out of the classroom and giving them some real hands on experience. >> but that doesn't mean their everyday lessons have been forgotten . forgotten. >> they're still doing all the maths and the english, and they have to do. but in what? >> the activities that they're doing, they're bringing in science, they're bringing in history, they're in history, they're bringing in geography, they're bringing in thinking skills, problem solving skills, and skills, team working skills, and most , it's giving most importantly, it's giving these children who are involved a bigger self—esteem. >> matt it's >> it's growing. matt it's growing their self—confidence . growing their self—confidence. so it's actually enhanced. the curriculum not stopped the curriculum not stopped the curriculum for the pupils .

curriculum for the pupils. >> they get a fun whilst also educational experience . but this educational experience. but this scheme also helps to build relationships between lancashire police and their local community. >> well, the several strands to it, one is just the outreach to our local community in terms of our local community in terms of our neighbourhood policing teams getting into local schools, it's good for recruitment even at that age that it puts sows the seed that maybe, you know, going into the local constabulary isn't thing to strive for isn't a thing to strive for in young people . young people. >> whether or not the cadets go on to join the emergency services, the skills they're gaining are definitely something worth shouting about . sophia gaining are definitely something worth shouting about. sophia ipp gb news. >> oh, there we go . we know who >> oh, there we go. we know who to call in an emergency. >> the mini cadets . >> the mini cadets. >> the mini cadets. >> well, coming up, stella creasy causes a backlash with a tweet about motherhood. more on that after your headlines with .

monday to thursdays from 6:00 till 930. >> good afternoon britain, an update for you on this press conference we're expecting from norwich police. we were expecting it at 2:00. we're now expecting it at 2:00. we're now expecting it at 230 to clear up some of the mysteries around the last seven days, and the disappearance of gaynor, lord. >> yes, but now let's talk about how the terrorist organisation hamas, its plot to attack jews across europe . there are fears across europe. there are fears growing that middle east war is increasing. the global threat. so joining us now to discuss this is the director of the common sense society, emma webb, and author and broadcaster amy nicole turner. now emma, you've done a lot of research into islamism, extremism , terrorism, islamism, extremism, terrorism, the threats that we face. we now understand that a big plot has been foiled on the continent, in europe, by germany , the

europe, by germany, the netherlands and so on. how concerned should we be about this threat coming to britain, or is it already here? >> i think we should be very concerned. >> this shows that there is a shift in the tactics of hamas into a model more like, say, hezbollah or isis. um, so yes, there are none of none of these attacks were focussed here in the uk. um, but the fact that they were planning these attacks in europe suggests a change that could affect jewish people here and in britain. i think people have a very short memory. it's not really that long since we saw attacks taking place in multiple countries in, in, um, belgium and in france , and the belgium and in france, and the ability of those isis networks to move from one country the to move from one country to the other to do multiple attacks other and to do multiple attacks like that . um, and like i say, like that. um, and like i say, you know, it's not dissimilar from other terrorist groups. we were hearing only a couple of months ago about, um, concerns to do with iranian sponsored terrorism. and hezbollah in europe as well . so this is europe as well. so this is enormously concerning , not least enormously concerning, not least because we've seen people marching in our streets calling

for jihad, talking about muslim armies as, um, and other inciteful rhetoric as part of these marches. i think that we should be very concerned. and the jewish community, of course , the jewish community, of course, will be very concerned about this. we've seen all sorts of incidents like hanukkah candles incidents like hanukkah candles in the last couple of days, being and knocked being vandalised and knocked over parts of london. over in various parts of london. so this is extremely concerning. it taken very it should be taken very seriously. actually, i think seriously. and actually, i think that, discussion that, um, the public discussion around this has frankly been quite naive . quite naive. >> it's interesting that there were four arrests with regard to this specific plot to kill jews across europe. three more arrests, two of people assumed to be hamas terrorists , uh, for to be hamas terrorists, uh, for more general terrorism offences, suspected offences and plotting. amy what can we do to better protect ourselves ? because protect ourselves? because evidently these individuals have been discovered. there will be more than seven people across europe who are thinking of doing

this stuff. yeah of course. >> and i think it is a real threat. and it is something that we need to our national security, of course, needs to stay on top of. but i think that at of being accused of at risk of being accused of terrorist sympathy , we, um, we terrorist sympathy, we, um, we need to look at the scenes coming out of gaza and the methodology of the idf and perhaps try and understand why the threat might have heightened i >> -- >> and since october, that since the fallout from october the 7th, and perhaps realise that a military solution is not going to be possible . oil and look at to be possible. oil and look at the situation within palestine and what what has happened in gaza. >> the, um, we're at a point now where i think 1% of the population has died , and half of population has died, and half of which were children , and i don't which were children, and i don't think you can bomb your way to peace. >> but regardless of any middle eastern conflict going on, we still have this terror threat. it hasn't suddenly sprung up

since the most recent conflict in israel and gaza , has it, emma? >> well, it's about being clear sighted, isn't it? because hamas very clearly you only have to look their charter. they are look at their charter. they are an islamic fascist organisation and a proscribed and they are a proscribed anti—semitic terrorist group. and the fact that this is a this is a we've talked in other contexts about how, um, international conflicts play themselves out on british streets because of the diversity in our population . often people in our population. often people who have connections abroad. but this is a conflict between israel and hamas. this is a conflict between israel and hamas . and what we israel and hamas. and what we are seeing in western countries is, is attacks on jews who are not israeli citizens. these are purely anti—semitic and this is a terrorist organisation that is, is not only inciting, but also organising terror attacks against jewish people . and you against jewish people. and you have to remember that when these attacks happen or when they're even when a plot is foiled, this often leads to inspiration to either lone wolf's or other people in western countries to

either commit acts of terrorism or other acts of violence against, say, the jewish community. um, and this is if this were any other group, if this were any other group, if this were a white nationalist terrorist organisation that controlled territory somewhere in the world, in encouraging and organising acts of violence and terrorism against jewish populations in europe , there populations in europe, there would be far more outrage . i would be far more outrage. i think it's it says something about the moral depravity and the sort of, um, way in which we've become sort of ethically unmoored as a culture that we are not clear sighted about what this threat actually is . this threat actually is. >> just finally on this, amy, you say you can't bomb your way to peace . isn't that sort of to peace. isn't that sort of exactly what we did when we defeated the last big anti—semitic threat on continental europe between 1939 and 1945? >> well, i don't think that's a

comparison. >> you can really make, because that was a two nations. >> there was a german army and that occupied areas of the west bank and palestine don't have an army. this is indiscriminate , army. this is indiscriminate, disproportionate killing of civilians targeting schools. >> well, the idea if we say that refugee camps using white phosphor s, this is something that surely we cannot, cannot be considered palatable by the international community. >> it's clear breaking of international law . so, um, and i international law. so, um, and i don't think it's comparable . if don't think it's comparable. if you look at the if you look at the free democracy , um, involved the free democracy, um, involved in world war ii and then that occupied, um, state of palestine, of gaza, that living condition within gaza before october 7, i mean, just five miles from the nova , um, the miles from the nova, um, the nova music festival, people were living with a literal cage around the around the periphery of the area. >> i mean, amy, israel would say defence forces and the government , defence forces and the government, i'm defence forces and the government , i'm sure, would say

government, i'm sure, would say that they are facing an existential threat on their borders and not just from gaza, not just from hamas, but from other terror groups who would like nothing more than to see israel completely wiped off the map. so this is existential for them. they'd also deny that it's in discriminate they'd in discriminate bombing. they'd say targeting hamas say that they're targeting hamas and unfortunately , is and that hamas unfortunately, is embedded civilian embedded within the civilian population . however, i population. however, i can certainly when we see how certainly see when we see how many people are dying, although we the figures. we don't know the exact figures. of at moment, i can of course, at the moment, i can see how obviously that is may radicalise people not only in gaza , but also over here in gaza, but also over here in europe . but just one last thing, europe. but just one last thing, amy. are you do you worry that perhaps we're getting to a stage where we're almost normalising anti—semitism? become anti—semitism? it's become normal. we've seen hanukkah , um, normal. we've seen hanukkah, um, tributes. i don't know what you want to call them. uh, menorahs. menorahs, menorahs. that's that's the. that is the actual word. yes. menorah is in public spaces being, um. well destroyed. >> vandalised. what we all need to be very, very careful to do

is to not to conflate a criticism of the idf and the methodology of israel with jews. most of whom i mean jews living in london, most of whom hadn't even been to israel. um, but on the on the side, on, on when you bnng the on the side, on, on when you bring up a side of an existential threat, i think that that this is why probably only 2% of people think there will be a solution to this situation, because you have extremism on both you extremism both sides. you have extremism with hamas, but with the aims of hamas, but equally have extremism on equally you have extremism on on the israeli the aims of the israeli government and netanyahu has made it's an made it clear that it's an existential threat made it clear that it's an existentialthreat their made it clear that it's an existential threat their side existential threat on their side as well . so, um, i think that's as well. so, um, i think that's why this is going we need there needs to be some sort of middle ground because at the moment it's two extremes with with existential, um, intense on both sides. and that's the issue. >> well, should we have a bit of a gear change now to something that's caused a huge amount of consternation online? that's caused a huge amount of conaernation online? that's caused a huge amount of cona tweetyn online? that's caused a huge amount of cona tweet from .ine? that's caused a huge amount of cona tweet from the’ that's caused a huge amount of cona tweet from the labour mp, >> a tweet from the labour mp, the prominent labour mp stella creasy, been , um, creasy, has been, um, criticising the so—called motherhood penalty , saying that

motherhood penalty, saying that she hasn't been able to go to christmas parties. here's the tweet on screen as i walk past everyone going to christmas parties and drinks on my way to get kids from nursery yet again, acutely the motherhood acutely aware the motherhood penalty is just a gift that keeps on giving, not just flexible working. we need flexible working. we need flexible networking to emma. doesn't she have a point? doesn't she have a point? doesn't she have a point? people mothers do have this sort of, um, penny ante, i suppose. they can't go out as much with people with young children . can't go to with young children. can't go to as many parties. >> i think this is really sad, actually. and it describe, i imagine, being her children growing up and reading the just the wording of that tweet and now putting me off against amy on this is not really fair, because amy has a child. i feel there's a squeeze of the motherhood penalty and but but i but i would and i think you know olivia utley gb news is very own um olivia utley uh, put out a very, very good, incisive tweet on this, which is that there are

many women who would want to stay at home with their children and spend time with their children if they could have children, rather than on going out to these christmas parties . out to these christmas parties. i think she made a very good point. i think this is really sad. i don't think it's good or healthy to think of these things in terms of a motherhood penalty. in life, everything is a children are a compromise and children are invaluable, whereas , you know, invaluable, whereas, you know, going to a christmas party and networking and what person in their right mind would prefer that to stay? >> now, i think your instinct is going to be to defend stella creasy, has been creasy, because she has been a feminist voice in in parliament, sometimes bit bizarre. sometimes a little bit bizarre. some things she comes out some of the things she comes out with. but surely you don't see it a penalty you'd have it as a penalty that you'd have to after your kid instead to look after your kid instead of a network christmas party. >> but i do think that she was bringing up something very real. thatis bringing up something very real. that is motherhood penalty. bringing up something very real. that is have|otherhood penalty. bringing up something very real. that is have oneerhood penalty. bringing up something very real. that is have one ofood penalty. bringing up something very real. that is have one of the penalty. bringing up something very real. that is have one of the highest and we have one of the highest rates care across rates of child care across across europe . um, it's it it across europe. um, it's it it shnnks across europe. um, it's it it shrinks the workforce. 1 in 10 women leave because of childcare costs. so i think we need to we

need to encourage we've got falling birth rate. right. we need to encourage women to be able to have children and become mothers without having to lose out on anything, because otherwise , otherwise we're going otherwise, otherwise we're going to and more. this to put off more and more. this is where i think it's just gone. >> like the internet just exploded a very bonkers way. exploded in a very bonkers way. perhaps to use the perhaps it was crass to use the terms motherhood penalty, but that's everyone's angry that's what everyone's got angry about. of the tweet about. the point of the tweet was pro motherhood one, was it not? >> no it wasn't. i >> no it wasn't. i >> i think that this whole narrative, the way that this is sort like of this sort of like hugh of this narrative, is one of the things that discourages women from having talk having children, because to talk about as a motherhood penalty about it as a motherhood penalty makes sound like it's some makes it sound like it's some kind. isn't that just kind. but isn't that just describing the reality? >> up something, >> you're giving up something, but more, right? but gaining so much more, right? >> have. why >> you shouldn't have. why should give up? let should you have to give up? let me just very important things to become think become a mother, because i think that to make it out like it's some kind zero game is some kind of zero sum game is wrong about it as if wrong to talk about it as if it's a penalty. in life, everything is a compromise. to raise children properly requires wires some of

wires that you divert some of your from one thing your attention from one thing into thing . both parents into another thing. both parents have different have to do that in different ways on their ways depending on their arrangements about it as arrangements to talk about it as if a penalty. that is if it's a penalty. that is something that can be fixed somehow by some power, somehow by some external power, whether government whether it's the government or whatever. the right way of whatever. isn't the right way of looking at it. instead what we should doing is, is trying to should be doing is, is trying to find a way in which those women who say stay at home with their children in rather than going to christmas parties, don't feel that they're devalued because they're not part of the of, you know, they're not contributing to the economy in, you know, but is there a fundamental is there not a fundamental problem here, a problem that there are some there are some mothers can very well afford mothers who can very well afford to to the christmas party to go to the christmas party because they'll get the nanny or the au pair or whatever to look after the kids, the dad or the dad whatever . dad or whatever. >> and there are some >> and then there are some families simply afford families who simply can't afford that, mean that, and it might mean they don't children or they don't have more children or they don't have more children or they don't have more children or they don't have as many children as they to have, it they would like to have, or it might mean they think of might mean that they think of this future problem and this as a future problem and won't have children in the first

place. should be finding place. should we not be finding a mothers who would a lot of mothers who would prefer after after prefer to look after your after their child than had it to childcare? >> sure, but shouldn't every shouldn't every mother have the choice? idea that choice? it's the idea that that's the use of the that's a penalty. the use of the word describe having word penalty to describe having to compromise something is to compromise on something is just negative to me just sounds. so negative to me though, amy. >> but i think the things that are are blocking mothers out. lack of flexible working that's squeezing talent out of the market. the fact that so many women are leaving industry, it is it is a negative. it is a negative thing that we need to discuss and that we need to remedy so that we can keep mothers in the workforce. >> you think that most >> do you think that for most women, they want to continue working as they were prior to having a child in the same capacity, the same hours, the same days? or is that part of the equation that once you have a child for a lot of women, they actually don't value their a child for a lot of women, they actualiasion't value their a child for a lot of women, they actualias much'alue their a child for a lot of women, they actualias much ?.ue their a child for a lot of women, they actualias much ? someeir a child for a lot of women, they actualias much ? some women, career as much? some women, obviously not all. yeah obviously not all. yeah obviously not all. yeah obviously not all. >> but i think it should be open to women to able to not be to women to be able to not be penalised for choosing to have

children. we should be encouraging to have encouraging women to have children we wouldn't see children so that we wouldn't see things falling birth things like the falling birth rate we're at rate that we're seeing at the moment. think lot of people moment. i think a lot of people want have children, they want to have children, but they just can't because of the costs involved. >> i just think it's obvious that you have a child, that when you have a child, you're to give up something. >> i think we're talking in two absolutist terms here, though, because tweet because stella creasy's tweet was about flexible was talking about flexible motherhood. yes, sometimes staying having that staying at home. but having that opfion staying at home. but having that option maybe one a week to option maybe one night a week to go your go out and drink with your colleagues, that's okay. >> we're demonising compromise like live in the real like we need to live in the real world. if you children, world. if you have children, it's the with anything. if it's the same with anything. if you different you take on lots of different commitments, to make commitments, you have to make compromises that's compromises between them. that's just to talk about it just life. so to talk about it in negative terms, as if it's some penalty, that's some kind of penalty, that's being exposed, is imposed, being exposed, is being imposed, i we running i think by and we are running out of time. >> but just finally, i think i should just say i was at a christmas party with stella creasy thursday, so perhaps creasy on thursday, so perhaps it's absolute more after it's not as absolute more after this. greedy. this. she's just greedy. >> looks things are heating >> looks like things are heating up. boilers sponsor of up. boxt boilers sponsor of weather . gb news.

migrant boat had got into difficulties about five miles off dunkirk, the beach at graveley in there. and the dispatched a number of their vessels to the scene, five in total, along with the uk coastguard helicopter , which coastguard helicopter, which also assisted . and what they also assisted. and what they found when they arrived there was that the migrant boat, of course, these migrant boats are made up of , you know, two made up of, you know, two massive inner tubes effectively down each side of the boat . down each side of the boat. well, one side of the boat that inner tube which the migrants sit on had completely deflated . sit on had completely deflated. and that sent dozens of them into the freezing pitch black waters of the channel overnight. and then that rescue operation swung, um , into operation in swung, um, into operation in earnest with within the hour, all 66 people, they believe were on that boat taken onto the rescue craft . one woman who was

rescue craft. one woman who was unconscious . this was worked on unconscious. this was worked on by the, uh, paramedics as they tried to resuscitate her. they were unable to do that and she was declared dead. and then another migrant . we don't know another migrant. we don't know if that's a man or a woman was also taken unconscious . aukus to also taken unconscious. aukus to also taken unconscious. aukus to a hospital in calais. also taken unconscious. aukus to a hospital in calais . they're a hospital in calais. they're still described as being critically ill at this hour. the search continued for some time after words because, as always with these migrant boats, they never know exactly how many would be on board. and you know , would be on board. and you know, as staggering as it sounds , as staggering as it sounds, we've seen migrant boats with more than 66 people on board, and at night , more than 66 people on board, and at night, clearly in the dark. if people were in the water, it's certainly possible that they've been swept away , that they've been swept away, uh, and have been lost. so that search will continue . uh, not as search will continue. uh, not as intense, but but assets that are intense, but but assets that are in the area keeping an eye out . in the area keeping an eye out. >> absolutely tragic. whenever

something like this happens, what sort of scale level would we be thinking of this this sort of boat where more than 66 migrants as, uh , as far as we migrants as, uh, as far as we understand it, were in a single boat? how common is that ? boat? how common is that? >> uh, sadly, it's very common now. the numbers have been creeping ever upwards, tom, in terms of the people smugglers as the boats that they're now having designed and built to order in back street factories in china. uh, they were quite a bit smaller for a number of years than they are now. now, now they're over 11m at least in length. and they can get up to 80 people, sometimes more are on these boats. now clearly, because they're not the most robust of designs . you put a robust of designs. you put a very significant number of people on them sitting on these inner tubes down either side of these boats . um, and then you these boats. um, and then you combine that with the swells as

the weather conditions that you get at this time of the year , get at this time of the year, even though the weather might improve to the point where you can just about put a boat out and across the channel when it hits those waves. with so many people on board, that can often be, uh, the trigger for these seems that just simply rupture and then it deflate s and all these people are just cast into these people are just cast into the water mark. >> the people smugglers in charge of this operation clearly they're trying to maximise their profits packing more and more profits by packing more and more people boats, which people onto these boats, which makes more dangerous makes it even more dangerous than would be otherwise . than it would be otherwise. where are the people smugglers actually from ? what countries actually from? what countries are they from? and where do they live? while they're conducting these operations ? these operations? >> well, many of them live here in the uk. we were speaking to someone just a couple of weeks ago who has intimate knowledge of the people smuggling operations in northern france . operations in northern france. it's, uh, it's controlled the

vast majority of it in northern france by iraqi kurds is, um, and many of them are actually based in the uk. uh, they have, uh, others associates out in the camps in northern france. excuse me. >> oh, sorry . >> oh, sorry. >> oh, sorry. >> um, uh, the larger game . >> um, uh, the larger game. afraid. um, so they have the people out there , and they have people out there, and they have associates all the way back up the chain to a rocketman khalife or iran or wherever these people are being smuggled from right through to the camps of, uh, northern europe, northern france, with a view to getting across the border there. uh, there have been , uh, some there have been, uh, some instances where albanians have tried to muscle in on the, uh, some of the people smuggling operations that didn't really come off for the albanians. so it's gone back really to majority , uh, kurdish people majority, uh, kurdish people smuggling gangs , although we're smuggling gangs, although we're told that there are eritrean groups that are trying to now

muscle in on some of the action there as well. but they really lack the resources and the sophistication that the kurdish people smuggling gangs have. they've had years to build up their experience base, to get their experience base, to get their supply , uh, models in their supply, uh, models in place . uh, as their supply, uh, models in place. uh, as i their supply, uh, models in place . uh, as i say, these place. uh, as i say, these backstreet factories in china, uh, design and make the boats, they send them to turkey, then they're shipped by road in in cars or vans up, usually to germany, where they're stored in garages or buildings . and then garages or buildings. and then the day that they're about to be put into the water to come across the english channel, they're shipped to northern france about a five hour journey. and they're, um, constructed on the beaches there. uh, very quickly. and then they're into the water. and of course, it's potentially a 100 mile stretch of coastline that the french police have to try to, um, guard . and they can try to, um, guard. and they can be in a number of places, but

not all places all of the time. and that's why, even though some boats are clearly stopped by the french , the vast majority still french, the vast majority still managed to get through. >> well, mark, thank you for giving us the information around this really, uh, tragic incident. uh, thanks forjoining us. >> us. >> mark white, our homeland security editor . of course. security editor. of course. interesting to hear that. based in the uk. yes. a lot of these people smugglers, but also 80 people, 80 people on a single small, rickety rubber boat. >> it's an astonishing thing to think of. >> it sounds like they're not so much doing ease in what we'd imagine a dinghy. these are reinforced east. we've learned that these boats are now being reinforced in a way that they weren't before, or they're now much larger , but of course, much larger, but of course, they're completely over capacity . yes, massively, very, very long, sort of stitched together. >> no wonder these things break apart . but without a single apart. but without a single sense of care . um, for those sense of care. um, for those that construct them . that construct them. >> and when these, uh, when we

see these horrors in the channel uh, it always of course, highlights the problem , highlights the problem, naturally, but also so many different ideas from our politicians and of course, the rest of us on how you actually solve this issue. nobody wants these boats to be coming across in this way. are absolutely perilous . perilous. >> well, in other news, german and danish police have successfully foiled a hamas plot to kill jews in europe , with the to kill jews in europe, with the danish prime minister describing the plot as being as serious as it gets. >> yes, in total , seven >> yes, in total, seven suspected hamas operatives were arrested across denmark, germany and the netherlands. some are warning that hamas's decision to no longer confined itself to tracking jews. only in israel is a worrying sign. well what could it mean for us here in the uk? >> let's speak to gb news. reporter charlie peters. charlie these are individuals who've been arrested on the continent, but it's clear that the hamas ideology is spreading beyond the

confines of israel . confines of israel. >> yeah. that's right. >> yeah. that's right. >> and this morning i spoke to security experts who warned that the uk is at a heightened risk due to what has been going on throughout the middle east and indeed europe since october the 7th, when that conflict in israel and the palestinian territories really kicked off. and we do know that just two weeks ago, a senior hamas official called on supporters throughout europe to tackle british interests. a target areas and indeed individuals augned areas and indeed individuals aligned with the british state and the united kingdom in general. there's no immediate suggestion, however, though , suggestion, however, though, that last night's arrests have any british link. but this does suggest a significant shift in the tactics and procedures and indeed targeting methods of hamas. because as they have not typically operated outside of israel , gaza typically operated outside of israel, gaza and the west bank.

so to be directing operations into germany and the netherlands and possibly even denmark is a significant step forward. you can bet that in the security agencies across europe and indeed throughout the united kingdom this morning, that would have been the vital intelligence they briefed on. vital intelligence is typically a threat to life or a shift in the pattern of behaviour of a terrorist organisation. and this is a suggestion that that has now happened . hamas targeting now happened. hamas targeting people within europe now , the people within europe now, the german interior minister said that the protection of jews is a top priority and the plot was reportedly revolving around the moving of a weapons collection into berlin to target jews and jewish institutions. there we don't know if the arrests in denmark last night are linked to those in germany, but it appears that a significant plot has been foiled by this police work and the european intelligence

agencies there. >> and, um, charlie , it's, uh, >> and, um, charlie, it's, uh, it's concerning here because of course, we have seen vandalism of , uh, course, we have seen vandalism of, uh, menorahs. we've seen vandalism of jewish, uh, well, threats to jewish schools and synagogues and the like. it's, uh , you know, it's not that much uh, you know, it's not that much of a stretch to think that perhaps there would be some kind of violent attack. very hard for the security services to keep an eye on. absolutely everyone who may have extremism , links to may have extremism, links to extremism or extremist views, a massive task . massive task. >> well, the security services services are thought to monitor some 40,000 people, at least , some 40,000 people, at least, the vast majority of which considered linked to islamist extremism. and of that, 40,000, of course, the stakes just does not have the, uh, the ability to track every single member of that watch list. and so it has to prioritise these according to threats, according to risk and indeed other factors. most of the time they get it right, but

sometimes, of course, they don't. and plots can slip through the cracks. now the reason why this significant plot appears to have been caught last night is because it involved several people organising across several people organising across several countries, and it involved a moving of weapons. so a significant operation in which will appear more obvious to the intelligence agencies on the continent. but what the security services in britain are facing as a more significant issue is that threat of lone wolf attacks . individuals radicalised in isolation, able to pick up a knife at home and strike at will whenever and wherever they want. we do know that the uk is stepping up its vigilance. counter—terrorism police asking people to be especially vigilant over the christmas period . and over the christmas period. and they did tell security sources told gb news last month that that an attack linked to the conflict in gaza was more likely ever since october the 7th and the demonstrations we've seen in britain so very much a moment of

heightened risk and tension even in the security area. this morning in britain, after news last night of seven arrested on a hamas linked foiled terror plot and of course, those demonstrations you mentioned , demonstrations you mentioned, ian, one particular chilling chant that was recorded in them from london to gaza. >> we want an intifada that would sound like this is an example of that sort of behaviour. charlie peters, thank you for bringing us the very latest concerning updates on that one. >> yes, but still to come, the prince versus the press . prince prince versus the press. prince harry has won 15 of the 33 articles in his lawsuit against the mirror group. we'll have analysis from our royal correspondent

isabel monday to thursdays from. six till 930. >> good afternoon britain. it's just coming up to 2:27 and just three minutes away. now from that press conference we were expecting from norwich police solving some of these mysteries around the disappearance of gaynoh around the disappearance of gaynor, lord. >> but first, let's get an update from our royal correspondent, cameron walker on prince harry at the court , he's prince harry at the court, he's won 15 of 33 articles in his phone hacking lawsuit against mirror group. a good day for prince harry cameron. thank you very much. can you bring us the latest on this, a vindication, perhaps , for prince harry perhaps, for prince harry cameron . oh, absolutely . cameron. oh, absolutely. >> emily, that's a great word to

describe it. this is certainly being seen as a victory for prince harry. yes, it's only 15 articles that the judge has ruled in favour of prince harry and his case against mirror group newspapers. but what he has managed to do is prove , in has managed to do is prove, in a court of law that mirror group newspaper journalists did use unlawful means to get information in order to write articles about both prince harry and other high profile figures. in this case. so we're talking about phone hacking here, and blagging or so—called deception. and the use of private investigators to carry out unlawful information gathering as well. now, all of these articles, dates between the years 1991 and 2010, when the judge ruled that prince harry's phone was personally targeted for phone hacking . between the for phone hacking. between the years 2003 and 2009. and he also said that there was extensive phone hacking at mirror group newspapers at all three of their

publications daily mirror, sunday mirror and sunday people between the years 2006 and 2011. and that is despite the fact that during this seven week trial, which happened earlier this year, mirror group newspapers has consistently denied that any phone hacking took place at their publications . the judge disagrees. this is hugely significant here and could have wider implications now , following the judge's now, following the judge's ruling, prince harry's lawyer david sherborne, stood outside the court to address journalists. he delivered a statement on behalf of prince harry. just to summarise, he said that prince harry said that this great day for truth this is a great day for truth and accountability. this case reveals the shocking scale of systematic and appalling behaviour, and he also made the point that the judge ruled that piers morgan, the former daily mirror editor, clearly knew about about phone hacking. now, piers morgan has always denied any knowledge of phone hacking and denies denies all the allegations made against him. harry says that his commitment is based on a need for free and

honest press. he also called on the metropolitan police and other prosecuting authorities to investigate and bring charges against the company and those who broke the law now mirror group newspapers, in a statement , has apologised unreservedly for the historical wrongdoing . for the historical wrongdoing. prince harry is going to be paid over £140,000 in damages. there were three other claimants in this case. two of those claims were dismissed for being brought too late, and the other one is also being given some damages as well. but this is a very long road . prince harry sees it as road. prince harry sees it as his life's mission to change the way the british press operates, and this is certainly winning the battle, but not quite the war yet. >> but of course, this isn't the only legal case that prince harry against the harry is bringing against the press, but also lots of other different entities to. this is the start of a very long legal road for the prince will he be buoyed by today and perhaps, uh, go into these future cases with more gusto ? no

more gusto? no >> yeah. long and expensive fruits for prince harry. but he became the first senior royal in 130 years to physically deliver evidence in court. tom, as part of this mirror group newspaper trial. and it's clearly worked because he's somewhat won partially won this case. he's got two trials to go with associated newspapers that's published by the daily mail and news group, newspapers, that's publisher of the sun and the now defunct news of the world, both of which he alleges unlawful information gathering, which for the publications deny. but the two publications deny. but he could well be back in a courtroom london year, courtroom in london next year, and year after for those and the year after for those trials. so he clearly is determined to seek justice. cameron you say that prince harry's mission is to change the british press to make it more fair and honest, british press to make it more fair and honest , free and honest. >> um , but is there an argument >> um, but is there an argument that the press has changed since these articles were written ? and these articles were written? and since these incidents of phone

hacking and the like, the press has moved on since then? these are quite a lot, many years ago now . now. >> yeah, i think it's fair to say that is the case. i mean, the articles are alleged to be involved with unlawful information gathering dates up till 2011, which is clearly more than a decade ago now . but i than a decade ago now. but i think what prince harry from , think what prince harry from, you know, listening to him speak over the last few years, social media way , uh, news media and the way, uh, news operates online is certainly a bigger challenge for him now in terms of negative press coverage andindeed terms of negative press coverage and indeed trolling that goes along with it. in fact, the archewell foundation's report is charity said this year that he's really trying to tackle online trolls and social media trolling. um, which all spark from these negative articles written about him, which in theory , perhaps, you know, uh, theory, perhaps, you know, uh, does quite well for certain media publications. but in terms of the unlawful information gathering, i think that very much has changed, particularly with leveson inquiry, which

with the leveson inquiry, which found clearly found that it clearly was perhaps widespread at perhaps somewhat widespread at certain publications. >> yes, we know that harry has spoken about social spoken at length about social media and how negative it can be as an influence, in his view. thank you very much. cameron walker, our royal correspondent there, bringing us the latest on prince harry and his hacking case against the mirror news paper group. >> now we're still waiting for this conference in norwich this press conference in norwich from norfolk police. and we'll bnng from norfolk police. and we'll bring you that soon as it bring you that as soon as it starts . but in bring you that as soon as it starts. but in the meantime, here are headlines with . lisa. >> it's just after half two. i'm lisa hartle in the gb newsroom . lisa hartle in the gb newsroom. oh, we're just hearing that the police are bringing us the latest on the missing mother, gaynor law. so we'll just take you now there live . okay, so . you now there live. okay, so. >> okay. thank you . thanks, >> okay. thank you. thanks, everybody, for coming today . everybody, for coming today. hey, today, police specialist divers have found the body of a

female in the river wensum. after a detailed and methodical search over the past few days . search over the past few days. whilst we establish her identity , our thoughts are with garner's family at this difficult and distressing time . we have distressing time. we have specialist family liaison officers supporting the family and keeping them updated with what we are doing at all stages. we remain open minded to the circumstances of garner's disappearance and will continue to pursue all lines of inquiry to pursue all lines of inquiry to ascertain why she went missing . i'm to ascertain why she went missing. i'm keen to say that this remains a missing person inquiry at this stage . i'm also inquiry at this stage. i'm also satisfied at the moment, based on the evidence that we have, that garner did not meet anybody on the way to the park and we now have a better understanding of her movements through the city centre . whilst this is not city centre. whilst this is not the outcome we wished for, our search is always predominantly focussed on the river and the park . we will now need to park. we will now need to complete a post—mortem examination to establish means

of death . but i would reiterate of death. but i would reiterate at this stage that there is no evidence of third party involvement, nothing in our enquiries have changed. this position . i would like to thank position. i would like to thank the media and the public for their continued to support dunng their continued to support during this difficult and challenging time. thank you . challenging time. thank you. thank you. thank you very much . thank you. thank you very much. >> so that was the update there on the missing mother of three, gaynor lord, who went missing after leaving work in norwich city centre last friday. um, so we'll bring you more on that as we'll bring you more on that as we get it. now on to prince harry, who says that it's a great day for truth and accountability. after being awarded more than £140,000 in damages over phone hacking claims against a tabloid newspaper group, the high court

ruled there was extensive phone hacking by the mirror group newspapers. between 2006 and 2011. the judge also said the duke of sussex's phone was probably hacked to a modest extent. in response, the publisher says they apologise unreservedly where historical wrongdoing took place . and the wrongdoing took place. and the home secretary says the government must and will do more after one person died and another was left in a critical condition in the english channel condition in the english channel, a boat carrying migrants sank about five miles off the coast of dunkirk overnight. more than 60 people were rescued . james cleverly were rescued. james cleverly described the incident as a horrific reminder of the people smugglers brutality . and some smugglers brutality. and some breaking news. the actor steve halliwell, best known for playing zak dingle on emmerdale , playing zak dingle on emmerdale, has died aged 77. the actor made his first appearance on the soap in october 1994. halliwell's family said in a statement he was making us laugh to the end

and died peacefully with his loved ones around him . you can loved ones around him. you can get more on all of those stories by visiting our website gbnews.com . good afternoon gb news.com. good afternoon. >> gbnews.com. good afternoon. >> in britain now we have been digesting what was less of a press conference and more of a police statement from superintendent chief superintendent chief superintendent dave buckley , who superintendent dave buckley, who was giving us more details around what is still quite a mysterious case, but some significant new news that we learned in that police statement is that there has been no evidence of third party involvement with the body that they have found in the water, which they confirmed was the body of a woman. >> and they also told us that they have liaison police, liaison officers with the family, essentially supporting them through this, which must be, um, an awful position for

her family and relatives . so we her family and relatives. so we can confirm that norfolk police, the specialist , are. no. we can the specialist, are. no. we can speak to theo chikomba now, who is on the scene for us? i believe theo will have been listening to that police statement. theo can you go over for us what we learned from that very short statement from the police officer there . police officer there. >> yes. so it was a very , very >> yes. so it was a very, very quick statement. >> we were expecting perhaps a little bit more, but they didn't want to go into further detail at this moment. so we heard from chief superintendent david buckley , who also heard from buckley, who also heard from yesterday . and during that short yesterday. and during that short statement a few moments ago, he said this remains a missing persons inquiry and that gaynor did not meet anyone on the way to this area where we are and wensum park and the focus has been on the river and the path on the way to this area and he also said that the post—mortem is going to take place to

establish the identification of the body that they have found. and, and this also confirmed that there is no evidence of third party involvement . and third party involvement. and then he went on to thank the media and the public, of course, for their patience this week. yesterday he did confirm that 30 members of the public did contact the police with information as part investigation . and throughout investigation. and throughout the week there have been appeals to members of the public to see if they have any dash cam footage, for example, or doorbell footage , which will doorbell footage, which will help them as part of their inquiry. but as we mentioned earlier, there are still some questions about the cctv footage that we have seen at this week. how did she end up here? and what were her movements particularly when she left work thatis particularly when she left work that is still an ongoing issue investigation. there is also some questions about how she was feeling before she left work, perhaps out of character. um, is

what has been described in the last few days. i think police have been speaking to her colleagues who worked at that department store in the heart of norwich as well. >> thank you. they are just very quickly. did, um, dave buckley, the superintendent there, did he did he confirm that the body, while it has not been identified , was a body of a woman? was that confirmed? i believe i heard that . heard that. >> so, yes, he did mention that. but again, it's not formally identified at this moment in time. so we can't say for sure at the moment who it is. and neither the police have confirmed that either. >> um, well, theo chikomba, thank you so much bringing thank you so much for bringing us latest there . and, us the very latest there. and, uh, let's hope the police bring us statements in the us some more statements in the coming even hours. but coming days, or even hours. but theo chikomba, there live from norwich. let's turn to our panel now. still with us is the director of the common sense society, emma webb, and the author and broadcaster amy nicole turner. and emma. this is the most curious case. a

mysterious case and clearly a very sad one too. >> it's horribly sad and i think everybody will be remembering nicola bulley. um, and i think it's i found it quite strange, actually, that this hasn't received more coverage because obviously nicola bullies um, case received a huge amount of coverage. there was a lot of interest in trying to find and trying to identify her. and in comparison, it's been actually rather quiet. think this is rather quiet. i think this is extremely sad. and obviously the family , regardless formal family, um, regardless of formal identification , will be identification, will be suffering horrendously from this. um, so i think everybody who's been watching this and following it, um, their heart will really go out to the family who'll be really suffering at this time. >> the police have been careful with the revealing much information about the missing woman in terms of her private life . life. >> perhaps that's a learning from the nicola bulley case, where the police came under so much criticism for revealing intimate details of the woman . intimate details of the woman. >> yeah, i think yeah, this case

is absolutely shrouded in mystery at the moment, but i think that's possibly a good thing when we remember that horrendous headline about nicola bully's potential drinking habhs bully's potential drinking habits being brought into into the discussion way too prematurely for even to be considered relevant in any way. so, um, i think i think at the moment there's so many questions are left open, aren't they? we've seen the cctv footage of her running where is she running for? we don't know . um, but for? we don't know. um, but hopefully her family can get some closure soon. some closure 500“. >> some closure soon. >> well, i'm sure the police are investigating all leads, but shall we move on to something a little bit different? now, this relates to the labour leader, sir keir starmer. his home has been targeted by just stop oil protesters. of course, this is just months after rishi sunak's private home was scaled by the group, although i think that was greenpeace . actually, the greenpeace. actually, the climate activists were eventually led away by police, where they read out this letter directed at the labour leader. let's have look . oh, we don't let's have a look. oh, we don't have for now , but,

have it here for now, but, uh, shall speak to philip davies, shall we speak to philip davies, mp , who is a gb news contributor mp, who is a gb news contributor as well ? of course, philip, as well? of course, philip, he'll be he'll be here in a minute. we'll talk to our panel first. of course. i'd like to know what you think about this. keir starmer. just stop oil outside house. his own outside his house. his own private where his family live. >> it's it. it reminds me of the stunt that pulled at stunt that they pulled at rishi's obviously, they rishi's house. obviously, they didn't that was greenpeace. didn't know that was greenpeace. the that was greenpeace. yeah, that was greenpeace . all eco that was greenpeace. all eco warriors saved me. i'm saying it was quite funny seeing some of these people. >> say they're extinction >> they say they're extinction rebellion one day of the week. just stop oil. the next day of the week, animal rebellion the next all the same next day. it's all the same people. the same. people. it's all the same. >> tactics. >> it's the same tactics. i think there's something distasteful to distasteful about going to someone's their someone's home where their children live, where their family might not even family lives, who might not even necessarily share their politics. peculiar politics. it's also peculiar because the labour party seems to be so close to just stop oil in terms of their own policies, so i'm not sure exactly what they're trying to achieve by doing this, but most of the

doing this, but the most of the stunts just stop oil paul, stunts that just stop oil paul, seem be more for their seem to be done more for their own, sort of like frivolous enjoyment, um, than actually having some kind of targeted purpose. but i guess this does nicely put to bed the rumours that just people are writing labour's policy, labour's green policy, which i think a of people were think a lot of people were fairly by while , fairly convinced by for a while, that there was some sort of influence there. but i thought singing them, thought that singing them, i thought that labour were labour were quite in step with stop oil in many step with just stop oil in many ways , because course they did ways, because of course they did have in their manifesto that they weren't issue any they weren't going to issue any new gas licences, which new oil and gas licences, which is pretty crucial to just stop oil's, whole mission oil's, um, um, whole mission statement until i've spoken to a number of representatives from just stop oil and you realise just stop oil and you realise just stop oil is such a misnomer. >> it's not about just stopping oil. they also protest about gaza. oil. they also protest about gaza . they also protest against gaza. they also protest against nuclear energy. they also seem to protest against many of the things that that perhaps would actually get us to net zero. they were protesting against cop

recently because it's all too corporate . they hate carbon corporate. they hate carbon capture and storage because it thinks they that it lets these energy companies off the hook . energy companies off the hook. they hate so many things, whether it's just irritating tom, all they are. it tom, that's all they are. it boggles my mind. >> the question here, the question here, amy, is, is this harassment turning up to a private home? >> because i think it's scary . >> because i think it's scary. it's in theory, it's carol singing , it's in theory, it's carol singing, isn't it? it's carol singing. harassment. no it's just a nice seasonal activity. however, i do still find it interesting because i really thought that keir starmer was very clear about no new oil and gas licenses and has been very critical of the government. >> equivocate on it, amy, >> he's equivocate on it, amy, but we're just. sorry but we're going to just. sorry to there in your to stop you there in your tracks. come back you. tracks. we'll come back to you. but we have got philip davies mp with us. gb news contributor as well. phil see footage well. phil when you see footage of keir starmer's private home being targeted by just stop oil activist lists, they had their little protest outside the front

. uh, how does that make you feel as an mp? are you worried about safety? yeah >> look, i think i think protesting outside people's homes is a step too far. i'm all for free speech. >> i'm for all people having the right to protest . right to protest. >> they can go to an mp surgery. they can come to parliament, they can make their views known in any which way. i think when you start protesting outside people's course , it's you start protesting outside peopljust course , it's you start protesting outside peopljust not course , it's you start protesting outside peopljust not the course , it's you start protesting outside peopljust not the mpyurse , it's you start protesting outside peopljust not the mp that , it's you start protesting outside peopljust not the mp that lives often just not the mp that lives there. it's their family members too. can be quite too. and it can be quite intimidating and i don't really think should be getting think that we should be getting into should say that the into that. i should say that the media are not blameless in this either because often camp either, because they often camp outside an mps house when there's some interest in news going on, too. and so maybe , going on, too. and so maybe, maybe could set a better maybe they could set a better example , um, well. but example, um, as well. but i think it's, i think it's a step too far. and i feel sorry for keir starmer , um, that this has keir starmer, um, that this has happened. sorry for rishi happened. i feel sorry for rishi sunak his home was invaded sunak when his home was invaded in the way it was. in the way, in the way it was. and i think there's better ways to it then than that. to protest it then than that. philip would you not suggest

that there's a there's a difference between a journalist, uh, outside the of, uh, waiting outside the home of, of politician to get a of a politician to get a statement from that politician, not from their family or anyone else, statement else, but to get a statement from politician. from that politician. >> uh, the difference >> uh, and, and the difference between sort of a mob people between sort of a mob of people turning outside the home and, turning up outside the home and, and intimate , dating in and being intimate, dating in that way. is there not a difference, in your view ? difference, in your view? >> not much . not much >> not much. not much difference. i think the, the media often there is a mob to be perfectly honest, it's very rarely just one there. there's usually a mob and that can be quite intimidating for the, for the, particularly for the the, um, particularly for the family mean, not family. i mean, it's not necessarily for the mp themselves. used to that themselves. you get used to that , but for the family, they, they, they shouldn't to they, they shouldn't have to feel or bullied for feel intimidated or bullied for being able to leave their own home or things like that. that's an their an infringement on their freedoms. i don't think freedoms. so no, i don't think there's massive difference. there's a massive difference. and it's not, you know, and i think it's not, you know, look, it's i suppose it's inevitable going to happen. inevitable it's going to happen. um, make it any um, but it doesn't make it any better the people affected. better for the people affected. >> it's interesting, keir >> and it's interesting, keir starmer having starmer seems to be having a time it at the moment. he

time of it at the moment. he had, uh, pro—palestine protesters, uh , uh, mobbing him protesters, uh, uh, mobbing him on the streets. that was on his trip to glasgow. glasgow, yes. and then when he was on a train, an individual came up to him and posed questions with a camera on him as well. and now his home has been targeted by just stop oil would say oil protesters. i would say there any violence or there wasn't any violence or anything like that. it was just of was. of course he was. >> was attacked by glitter as >> he was attacked by glitter as well. only months ago. well. only several months ago. um they don't think he's left wing enough, perhaps. well, i don't know. what does it say about keir starmer that suddenly more , is it because more and more, is it because people going to be people think he's going to be the next prime minister >> yeah, it could well be. but look, these most of these look, these, these most of these people extremists. no people are extremists. and no matter, know, can never matter, you know, you can never you satisfy them. you you can never satisfy them. you can enough for can never be extreme enough for them mainstream politics, them in mainstream politics, you know, much you try and know, however much you try and appease them, you can't do it. and keir starmer will learn that , uh, pretty i guess , uh, pretty quickly, i guess i mean, we've even got just stop oil. i mean, the main funder of just stop oil funds, the labour

party. mean, if he can't, party. so, i mean, if he can't, if he can't appease them, he's got chance of appeasing got no chance of appeasing anybody to honest. anybody else to be honest. >> want our >> yeah. we don't want our politicians to be scared of the british public, do thank you british public, do we? thank you very much indeed. philip davies, conservative course, conservative mp and of course, gbillionews contributor. just, uh, what uh, philip uh, reacting to what uh, philip said there about just stop oil and their tactics . sir, i do and their tactics. sir, i do genuinely think that there are a lot of politicians who are scared. well, you saw what happened with michael gove walking through waterloo station when he was mobbed and chased by, um, pro—palestine protesters. >> of course, we've seen sir david amess joe cox. i think that's something that is, you know, probably in the forefront of a lot of mps minds, if particularly if you think of when the pro—palestine, obviously it's relevant , not obviously it's relevant, not least because of the similarities in the way that these protests seem to be policed. but also because, as you mentioned, tom, there is an overlap in terms of the personnel , overlap in terms of the personnel, um, overlap in terms of the personnel , um, that they were personnel, um, that they were allowed by the police to stand

down directly on the pavement outside of parliament, blocking mps inside the building, which they're actually not allowed to do. and so i think mps , as do. and so i think mps, as i will be concerned by what seems to be, um, a shift towards a more american style of protesting , which is much more protesting, which is much more aggressive. no sense of sort of, um, propriety boundaries , um, propriety boundaries, manners. it's not protesting in the sort of like proper democratic spirit of just voicing your view. it's about trying to bully people , um, even trying to bully people, um, even to the extent of causing criminal damage. whether it's black lives matter or whether it's extinction rebellion damaging artworks or property . damaging artworks or property. um, it's about intimidating people outside of the democratic process , protest process into process, protest process into doing what you want them to do, i think. >> justin, sorry to interrupt again. um, but in just a moment, we're going to be crossing to piers morgan, actually, who will be to prince harry's be responding to prince harry's phone ruling. phone hacking ruling. he was actually in statement actually named in the statement by prince lawyer. that's by prince harry's lawyer. that's his door there. we're looking at with yes, we're expecting

with a yes, we're expecting piers morgan to step out of that door any moment now. piers morgan to step out of that dooso ny moment now. piers morgan to step out of that dooso we're ment now. piers morgan to step out of that dooso we're justt now. piers morgan to step out of that dooso we're just going to keep >> so we're just going to keep an this and we'll an eye on this and we'll obviously bring that statement as it happens. but uh, come back to the issue of, of , of protest. to the issue of, of, of protest. and is it becoming americanised in britain, i wanted to add, was i think that recently we've seen members of just stop oil go to prison for up to six months. >> i think beyond that, even up to a year for basically protesting and just blocking a road for a bit. so in fact, i think quite different actually. >> but if everyone did that, there is no way those people should be imprisoned to have the rest of their lives impacted in that way. >> the sentences that have been handed down have been really disproportionate, handed down have been really disprcthisionate, handed down have been really disprcthis is|ate, handed down have been really disprcthis is one of the reasons when this is one of the reasons that went outside keir that they went outside keir starmer's to make people starmer's house to make people more some of the more aware of some of the consequences they're consequences that they're suffering. we've also suffering. i think we've also seen other protesters seen them and other protesters from other protest movements getting hook getting off the hook for criminal damage things that criminal damage and things that they should they really probably should have. for in have. um been punished for in some i'm not necessarily

some way. i'm not necessarily suggesting but suggesting a jail sentence, but in some absolutely. they in some cases, absolutely. they are punished. are being overly punished. and i think into like a just think if i get into like a just stop oil frame of mind now, i would say it's very difficult. let um, the urgency let me get in. um, the urgency that they feel and that they see coming us far outstrips coming towards us far outstrips any disruption . any disruption. >> that's the problem, is it, though? >> that's part of the problem. but if you have a protest group thatis but if you have a protest group that is almost apocalyptically, um, sure of itself that they think that they , they have the think that they, they have the they are solely , you know, the, they are solely, you know, the, they are solely, you know, the, the sort of champions, the crusaders of their cause and that they have to do this in order to save the world and that nothing will stand in their way, even if it means putting people's lives at risk, which we've so they block we've seen. so when they block the and they block the road and they block ambulances from going through, well, they are putting people's lives these that well, they are putting people's liypeople these that well, they are putting people's liypeople break these that well, they are putting people's liypeople break the se that well, they are putting people's liypeople break the law that well, they are putting people's liypeople break the law inthat well, they are putting people's liypeople break the law in the if people break the law in the course of protesting, absolutely, be absolutely, they should be arrested and charged and punished appropriately. that's not them for not punishing them for protesting. them protesting. it's punishing them for the law. but they for breaking the law. but they would be keen to stress that they do have blue light they do have that blue light

policy ambulances policy where they let ambulances through. doing that, though. through. not doing that, though. we've it on footage and we've got it on footage and that a of have been taken a lot of them have been taken into custody over very minor into to custody over very minor things . and what saw, i know things. and what we saw, i know this a different protest this is a different protest group, for the not group, but for example, the not my protests day of my king protests on the day of the and they the coronation and they accidentally swooped people accidentally swooped up. people put custody put through them into custody suhes put through them into custody suites even suites when they weren't even anything protest. anything to do with the protest. so i think there is a overpolicing of these. >> i think the problem, yeah , >> i think the problem, yeah, when the when are people when the when there are people arrested and we've seen this live on our show, we've been at some of these protests where deliberately this, group deliberately this, this group of just people up to just stop oil people line up to step into the road and a policeman stands there and says, under whatever the under section whatever of the pubuc under section whatever of the public order act, if you step into road, i arrest you. >> then some of them perhaps >> and then some of them perhaps think of it and don't do think better of it and don't do it. the that do get it. and the ones that do get arrested, they they making arrested, they they are making a conscious choice be arrested conscious choice to be arrested for political cause that's for a political cause that's entirely on them. >> that's something that >> but that's something that they see as so existential. and a lot of adjustable is made up of scientists. and it is of climate scientists. and it is it is who's nathan paquin and

eugenie? >> 1 in 10, 1 in 20. >> and i saw i saw a an example this week of a 70 year old grandma and grandfather who were thrown into prison over protesting what they see as an existential threat to the climate because they wanted to be. >> did he or she mind ? because a >> did he or she mind? because a lot of them seem to want to get martyred, arrested? it's like, lot of them seem to want to get marty martyrdom d? it's like, lot of them seem to want to get marty martyrdom .? it's like, lot of them seem to want to get marty martyrdom . thereike, lot of them seem to want to get marty martyrdom . there you go. yeah, martyrdom. there you go. there have been . the problem is there have been. the problem is amy, isn't it, if amy, though, isn't it, that if everyone behaved like that, then we wouldn't really have a society, would we? we wouldn't have economy. have a functioning economy. >> more important >> that's surely more important to our right to protest to protect our right to protest than come up with this kind than to come up with this kind of about about what of what about what about what if? if, what if people who if? what if, what if people who believed that abortion is morally wrong and a sin and babies being killed thought babies are being killed thought it that they it was so existential that they started in the road ? started lying in the road? >> do we i mean, if >> so where do we i mean, if every group does it, we're gonna have to leave our viewers and everyone at on that everyone at home on that bombshell up is bombshell because up next is martin very much, amy. >> thank you very much, amy. >> thank you very much, amy. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar weather on . gb
