9:06 pm
france now the exact france in 2012. now the exact motive of that isn't motive of that attack isn't clear yet , but motive of that attack isn't clear yet, but comes clear yet, but it comes after a radicalised islamist stabbed his former teacher dominique bernard, to death in the northern town of arras, a french court last week convicted six teenagers for their role in the 2020 killing and beheading of teacher samuel paty outside a secondary school near paris . as secondary school near paris. as well. today in britain, it's emerged that our terror threat is being closely monitored by m15 is being closely monitored by mi5 and security services. they have raised its have not raised it to its highest yet. highest level yet. the metropolia police is investigating after two menorahs were attacked in london. more anti—semitic behaviour on the streets there . i want to talk streets there. i want to talk about rolling out the red carpet and letting the enemy in. we just have to look at what happened with a chap called mohammad suella. headed mohammad qasim suella. he headed up the hamas terror groups west bank operation , and it turned bank operation, and it turned out that we gave him a council house in barnet, which is the uk's highest jewish population. back in 2003. he then used the right to buy scheme to purchase
9:07 pm
their home for £320,700. in june 2021, barnet council reportedly granted the couple £112,000 discount on its market value. look, the problem is bad enough without importing it, isn't it really ? again today, a muslim really? again today, a muslim convert, edward little, has been jailed for at least 16 years now. he intended to kill a christian preacher with a gun. i want to thank our security and intelligence services and those right across europe for keeping us as safe as they do under incredibly difficult circumstance . those brave men circumstance. those brave men and women get politicians out of trouble so many times . the fact trouble so many times. the fact is, if you ask me , our political is, if you ask me, our political class at home and around the eu unfurled a welcome mat to a lot of radical jihadis, people who care about their country and who care about their country and who care about their country and who care about keeping their children safe are often demonised, but people who subscribe to a violent misogynist , anti—lgbtq, medieval misogynist, anti—lgbtq, medieval pseudo religious death cult of
9:08 pm
an ideology they're often welcomed in and now we are reaping what our politicians have sown. if only somebody could have seen this coming a wait, i think we all did, didn't we? let's get the thoughts of my panel on this now. author and columnist and presenter tanya buxton. we've got former bbc chief political correspondent john sergeant and author and journalist emma wolf as well. look, tanya, i'll start with you on this. do you think that we have allowed a trojan horse into europe? yes we absolutely have. >> and we saw it coming. i mean, the problem is, is that you cannot accept into a country people with ideologies that are so alien to yours and without any kind of demands that they accept the type of living that we do in this country. so in this country, women are equal to men in your hand to be gay. we you know, we don't demonise any of these people. i mean, things that are written in the quran, which people are taking as word
9:09 pm
are, you know, women have half the a man they the brain of a man and they don't kill gay people don't they they kill gay people in islamic countries. >> so if under a radical interpretation or a radical interpretation or a radical interpretation of it, but they still there isn't an islamic country where, you know, gay people can be free. >> and so my point is , is their >> and so my point is, is their ideologies completely alien ideologies are completely alien from ours. if they're going to come this country, then come into this country, then they should swear some allegiance or the allegiance to our flag or the ideologies that we have . and ideologies that we have. and it's so alien. and i've had many, many terrible experiences myself, and as have my daughters , as there was a situation in a few years ago where my daughter left college and she was walking past a mosque that's in north finchley , and she at about 12:00 finchley, and she at about 12:00 in the afternoon, where they were just coming out after prayer and she was verbally abused. prayer and she was verbally abused . so she came home. she abused. so she came home. she was very, very upset. i went to the police. and do you know what the police. and do you know what the police. and do you know what the police tell not the police said? tell her not to walk way on a friday walk that way on a friday afternoon. yeah >> it's not, not, it's not >> it's not, it's not, it's not good is it? look, john,

9:11 pm
time. we shouldn't tolerate that. that's easy. that. of course, that's easy. that's the easy bit. but in terms of the general, what should do now? we must make should we do now? we must make sure that we are understanding. we're tolerant . we make sure. we're tolerant. we make sure. no, no, no no no. but you have to couple all these things together. you can't just say, oh, well, let's have one of these or i know what these things or i know what we'll should we we'll do. should we be intolerant and should we be? i don't know let's be sort of don't know what let's be sort of violently anti—immigrant. that'll good idea. that'll be a good idea. >> obviously not what >> but that's obviously not what i'm it? mean, i'm saying, is it? i mean, i'm literally responding to the police right across europe , police right across europe, unearthing what was essentially , unearthing what was essentially, quite literally, a trojan horse plot. i mean, a buried weapon saying you're saying the saying that you're saying the red carpet has been rolled out for these guys? i would argue. i would argue that it has. i would for these guys? i would argue. i wouldthat|e that it has. i would for these guys? i would argue. i wouldthat it that it has. i would for these guys? i would argue. i wouldthat it well,t has. i would for these guys? i would argue. i wouldthat it well,t have would argue that it well, i have argued has. think it's argued that it has. i think it's been far too easy for them to get emma, come you. get in. emma, i'll come to you. what of all of this? what do you make of all of this? >> well, i find myself the >> well, i find myself in the odd of feeling that odd position of feeling that you're a little bit you're being a little bit extreme for once, patrick. and actually agreeing with john sergeant, which is probably a first. no, look, mean, these first. no, look, i mean, these

9:39 pm
of a victim culture? do you think that we're the think that we're seeing at the moment? mean, kyrees moment? i mean, stella kyrees on about she about 80 odd grand a year. she has got partner, as far as has got a partner, as far as we're . you know, has we're aware. you know, she has got, services got, you know, services available her. the women available to her. the women i feel sorry for patrick are the women that, know, would women that, you know, would rather not be working. >> you know, stella is a career woman . okay, so she's an mp. woman. okay, so she's an mp. that's a career woman. so, you know, it's very different to the woman has to go to the woman that has to go to the supermarket or go to the retailer and kind of work. that's not career orientated, but because the absolutely needs a second wage in that family , a second wage in that family, there's a big difference between these two types of women and that has to be yeah. that has to be noted. yeah. >> emma, do you think that that potentially it was slightly offensive to women who who really want to have children and for whatever reason, it hasn't happened yet? i wondered if that was my immediate thought . was my immediate thought. >> you know, nearly >> i almost, you know, nearly didn't . didn't have children. >> i agree with that, don't you? >> i agree with that, don't you? >> absolutely think >> i agree with that, don't you? >> needs|bsolutely think >> i agree with that, don't you? >> needs to olutely think >> i agree with that, don't you? >> needs to be tely think >> i agree with that, don't you? >> needs to be aware think >> i agree with that, don't you? >> needs to be aware that hink >> i agree with that, don't you? >> needs to be aware that it1k >> i agree with that, don't you? >> needs to be aware that it is she needs to be aware that it is such privilege and that is she needs to be aware that it is su a privilege and that is she needs to be aware that it is su a really,ilege and that is she needs to be aware that it is su a really,ilege aprivileged is in a really, really privileged position. she really is. but i also worth reflecting
9:40 pm
also think it's worth reflecting on how on how hard we make motherhood. nothing is designed to help women. have to say in to help women. i have to say in terms of it is all consuming , terms of it is all consuming, and it is something that none of us ever regret. no, us would ever regret. no, although women that although i know some women that sort regretting although i know some women that sorbut regretting although i know some women that sorbut no regretting although i know some women that sorbut no , regretting although i know some women that sorbut no , i'm regretting although i know some women that sorbut no , i'm justegretting although i know some women that sorbut no , i'm just soztting although i know some women that sorbut no , i'm just so mindful it, but no, i'm just so mindful of i know, i know, i know women who can't conceive and can't have babies, and it's. >> but you have to acknowledge that a difference that there is a big difference between like us, to a between women like us, to a certain extent, who are career mothers, women who are mothers, to women who are fundamentally and absolutely mothers, to women who are fundaeven ally and absolutely mothers, to women who are fundaeven want nd absolutely mothers, to women who are fundaeven want to absolutely mothers, to women who are fundaeven want to work, utely mothers, to women who are fundaeven want to work, buty don't even want to work, but have to work because they need that second wage. there's a big difference between these two. and that's what's really got and so that's what's really got to be taken into account. and she's one. she she's she's the other one. she is woman she's is the career woman. she's chosen a whilst chosen to have a career whilst having and it's not having children. and it's not purely on the financial that she literally needs that second wage to contribute to the family. >> yeah. i mean, bringing up >> yeah. i mean, i'm bringing up a family. so you are bringing have a first or a second wage. it's it's your wage child. >> yeah, i know, but do you understand what saying? when >> yeah, i know, but do you uwas,;tand what saying? when >> yeah, i know, but do you uwas, when nhat saying? when >> yeah, i know, but do you uwas, when niwas saying? when >> yeah, i know, but do you uwas, when niwas filmingig? when >> yeah, i know, but do you uwas, when niwas filming my,iihen >> yeah, i know, but do you uwas, when niwas filming my, my] i was, when i was filming my, my

9:43 pm
9:44 pm
9:45 pm
9:46 pm
next. now labour peer peter mandelson, who obviously in no way looks like the kind of man who sleeps upside down in a cocoon , has upside down in a cocoon, has claimed week that tony claimed this week that tony blair agreed to ban fox hunting after a £1 million donation to labour from an animal rights group. mandelson said that group. lord mandelson said that the put blair under the organisation put blair under pressure to ban the countryside activity. this comes as a new report has suggested, declassify documents from 1998 show that sir tony was determined to take military action in iraq , military action in iraq, contrary to legal advice . the contrary to legal advice. the alba party mp neale hanvey has now called for blair to be stripped of his knighthood. so what do we think? joining me to discuss this very, very shortly is the editor at large for the mail on sunday. charlotte griffiths will go to her in just a second. but yeah, it has been
9:47 pm
something that a lot of people get very hot under the collar about, isn't it? when you think about, isn't it? when you think about the that blair, about the idea that tony blair, about the idea that tony blair, a many people think is a man who many people think is responsible door a man who many people think is resthe sible door a man who many people think is resthe mass door a man who many people think is resthe mass migration door a man who many people think is resthe mass migration issue door a man who many people think is resthe mass migration issue that to the mass migration issue that we have today, education, education, an education which as as i can tell, saddle the as far as i can tell, saddle the heck of a of people with a heck of a lot of people with a lifetime debt to go do lifetime of debt to go and do mickey did mickey mouse degrees. we did have the iraq war, didn't we? which cannot be glossed over. where were those weapons of mass destruction? going destruction? what was going on there? what did you really there? tony? what did you really know likely it was we know about how likely it was we would those weapons would find those weapons of mass destruction and now much destruction and now to a much lesser extent , an alleged £1 lesser extent, an alleged £1 million donation to the labour party to help ban hunting. party to help ban fox hunting. charlotte griffiths joins me now, editor at large the now, the editor at large for the mail on charlotte, mail on sunday. charlotte, should tony his should we strip tony of his knighthood ? knighthood? >> i think we probably should, shouldn't we? i mean, it's a bit of a mystery why he got one in the place, because, the first place, because, well, the first place, because, well, the gave him and by the queen gave it to him and by all the queen didn't all accounts, the queen didn't even much. and even like him very much. and now we own spin we find out from his own spin doctor that took £1 million doctor that he took £1 million to ban fox hunting, which was a debate that that has caused huge
9:48 pm
controversy for years and years and years. and then, of course, there's more there's the much more controversial thing with iraq. so you know, why is he being knighted when he cannot tell the truth and his own spin doctors reveal he tell the truth? reveal he can't tell the truth? >> i mean, obviously , a >> yeah. i mean, obviously, a lot of people think that tony blair a amount good blair did a huge amount of good for country. some other for this country. some other people opposite , people think the exact opposite, don't there is also don't they? and there is also the deal that was done with the ira . i mean, the deal that was done with the ira. i mean, you can the deal that was done with the ira . i mean, you can really ira. i mean, you can really rattle off heck of a of rattle off a heck of a lot of stuff about tony, can't stuff here about tony, can't you? mean, realistically, you? i mean, realistically, though , what the of though, what are the chances of this being stripped of a this guy being stripped of a knighthood? it only knighthood? i mean, it only happens society worst happens to like, society worst rhiannon doesn't it? happens to like, society worst rhi i1non doesn't it? happens to like, society worst rhi i think doesn't it? happens to like, society worst rhi i think the doesn't it? happens to like, society worst rhi i think the actual1't it? happens to like, society worst rhi i think the actual likelihood >> i think the actual likelihood of it happening is pretty slim. but, uh, you know, there are polls that say that only 14% of this country think he should have got in the first place. have got one in the first place. he will have to. i mean, as more and more comes out about the iraq war and more and more documents declassified , i documents get declassified, i wonder there might be a wonder whether there might be a moment the whole nation moment where the whole nation sort really call him sort of really does call for him to stripped, but it's kind of
9:49 pm
to be stripped, but it's kind of relevant he's relevant now because he's getting involved in keir starmer's so so we starmer's campaign. so so we need know, he's starting need to you know, he's starting to involved again. so he's to get involved again. so he's raising above raising his head above the parapet might expect to parapet and he might expect to get of slack for that. get a bit of slack for that. >> um, indeed. i don't think >> um, no, indeed. i don't think there would be a huge of there would be a huge amount of pubuc there would be a huge amount of public backlash if sir tony was stripped of it personally. and you think that now potentially that he is re—entering the political foreground , that that political foreground, that that could be the moment to do it? >> i think so, i think, you know, he really is sort of meddling. it's what he loves to do best tony blair, isn't it? he can't help but meddle in things and he's getting involved. so you know, he's he's going to be under microscope again and under the microscope again and he can for the rest of his life. he knows perfectly for the he can for the rest of his life. he iofiws perfectly for the he can for the rest of his life. he iof hisperfectly for the he can for the rest of his life. he iof his life.ectly for the he can for the rest of his life. he iof his life. iraq for the he can for the rest of his life. he iof his life. iraq will for the he can for the rest of his life. he iof his life. iraq will be the he can for the rest of his life. he iof his life. iraq will be a1e rest of his life. iraq will be a thorn his side and be thorn in his side and will be looking closely. remarkable. >> remarkable . i'll talk >> it is remarkable. i'll talk about like truth and about things like truth and decency that. i mean, decency and we see that. i mean, i been inquiries i know there's been inquiries into know, it's into this and, you know, it's been and been largely exonerated and everything, know, it is everything, but, you know, it is an issue nonetheless. look, charlotte, very much. charlotte, thank you very much. short but short and sweet tonight, but great to have you on
9:50 pm
nonetheless. griffiths great to have you on nonetithe ss. griffiths great to have you on nonetithe ss. at griffiths great to have you on nonetithe ss. at grof ths there, the editor at large of there, the editor at large of the sunday now a video the mail on sunday now a video that apparently shows a landlord using a chainsaw to break down the door of a tenant who refused to leave one of his properties when absolutely viral in the last days. let's just last couple of days. let's just take a little a look at take a little bit of a look at the shall . we? well, the clip, shall. we? well, joining me now to talk me through why he did this and what was really going on was the very landlord featured in that video . landlord featured in that video. it's samuel lead samuel, landlord featured in that video. it's samuel lead samuel , thank it's samuel lead samuel, thank you very, very much. great to have you on the show. right. so look, can you just clear things up because if you read all the articles and all the articles online and all the comments on twitter, it looks like you've kind of broken the law that all been a bit law and that it's all been a bit of a nightmare, really. so what was going there ? was going on there? >> well, firstly , by breaking >> well, firstly, by breaking entry to a property when there's a guest in the property that's not paying rent, it's not breaking the law, it's completely legal .
9:51 pm
completely legal. >> but secondly, um , i did it >> but secondly, um, i did it deliberately as a stunt because i knew guaranteed. i said to all my friends that the media would report it like crazy and make me look like the bad guy. but the interesting thing is , if you go interesting thing is, if you go into a shop and you steal something, you go in and steal bread. everyone will say, that person deserves to be punished, but for some weird reason , you but for some weird reason, you steal from a landlord or a property owner and then suddenly it's all right. i'm the criminal. i'm the bad guy for evicting that person. so . so evicting that person. so. so yeah, there's a lot of nonsense being talked about on social media. um even, you know, it's very interesting as well. that video i posted was banned video that i posted was banned from , but then the daily from tiktok, but then the daily mail posted it and it's still up. there was there anyone in that property? i posted it and talk nonsense. >> yeah. was was there anyone in that property? >> no, it was a stunt . it was >> no, it was a stunt. it was empty. i just bought it was a
9:52 pm
hotel class. class, um, class c1 hotel class. class, um, class c1 hotel with no tenants possibly in it because it's a hotel. and if there was tenants in it, they weren't paying their guests anyway. they don't pay. i can kick them out . kick them out. >> so how does it work, landlord? >> the difference. right. so the difference right, between a tenant and a guest. can you just explain that? yeah. people. well it seems like i have to because gb news don't have a clue because they reported today, landlord kicks out tenant with chainsaw tenant not a tenant in there . there. >> i never said there was a tenantin >> i never said there was a tenant in there. >> right. well, i certainly have. i'll be honest with you. i haven't seen that. i certainly haven't seen that. i certainly haven't reported that. so if that apologies. >> nonsense . >> but it's nonsense. >> but it's nonsense. >> so just, just >> right. so but just, just explain the difference between between guest and tenant then mate. go on. okay >> because landlords are so persecuted in this country , in persecuted in this country, in britain a lot of landlords are now renting their properties out instead to guests . like, i like instead to guests. like, i like how you'd rent out a hotel so
9:53 pm
you don't rent the property . you you don't rent the property. you hire the property and you pay nightly for it. it's tax efficient . it gives way better efficient. it gives way better cash flow . and if your guest cash flow. and if your guest doesn't pay , they have no rights doesn't pay, they have no rights . if they're in there and they don't pay, you can kick them out within 24 hours. okay >> and i mean, do you have to kick people out a lot ? not not lot. >> but yeah, i do have to, um, and i did i did a, i did a post on twitter today, a poll and i said, if you've got someone living in your property and they're not paying you to stay there, should you a evict them or b just let them stay there for free. um, 62% of people and there was thousands of people that filled the poll out, 62% said, let them live there for free. >> really ? >> really? >> really? >> yeah. okay. because there is a perception, right? there is a perception . i mean, obviously, perception. i mean, obviously, however you choose to express, you know, a staged eviction or whatever, whether or not that's with chainsaw through whatever, whether or not that's
9:54 pm
with cmeansv through whatever, whether or not that's with cmeans there1rough whatever, whether or not that's with cmeans there is ugh another means there is a perception that landlords are flush with cash, that they've got loads of money and then it doesn't really matter if someone doesn't really matter if someone doesn't , right, for doesn't pay rent, right, for a couple months, that couple of months, is that is that true? you're that true? i mean, you're described as a millionaire landlord. i mean, is that accurate ? accurate? >> i'd be embarrassed to be a millionaire. i'm a multi—millionaire and i make over £1 million a month. i was a millionaire. i'd be very embarrassed . right? so, yeah, embarrassed. right? so, yeah, i'm a multi—millionaire. embarrassed. right? so, yeah, i'm a multi—millionaire . so many millions. >> with respect, samuel, i suppose the argument might be that you probably could afford for somebody to maybe not pay rent. terrible argument i >> -- >> that's km- >> that's horrible argument. >> that's a horrible argument. and also. right, if someone's if someone's in a property and they're not paying rent, i mean, someone's in a property and theycouldt paying rent, i mean, someone's in a property and theycould say, 'ing rent, i mean, someone's in a property and theycould say, oh, rent, i mean, someone's in a property and theycould say, oh, well i mean, someone's in a property and theycould say, oh, well , mean, someone's in a property and theycould say, oh, well , asda1, you could say, oh, well, asda can , asda can afford can afford it, asda can afford for people to go in and steal bread. but we wouldn't say that because immoral. you should because it's immoral. you should pay because it's immoral. you should pay for the service that you have. it's irrelevant how rich i am. if someone's and also not only i'm probably the most compassionate in the uk compassionate landlord in the uk . for the record, i don't go in and kick out tenants real fast.
9:55 pm
i'm a compassionate person, but if there's someone that's not paying if there's someone that's not paying and they they don't have a right to stay. evicting them is not at all. and also an interesting point is the media that jumped on that story real fast.i that jumped on that story real fast. i knew they would. it was in the it was in the mirror. the daily mail gb news. it was in, uh, all of them all it was the sun and all of them . number one sun and all of them. number one talked nonsense by saying landlord kicks out tenant. and it was all it was making it was all it was all making out. was illegal. it's not out. it was illegal. it's not illegal doesn't pay. illegal for guests, doesn't pay. you out instantly. you can get them out instantly. it's the as you're it's like the same as if you're at secondly, i was at a hotel. but secondly, i was paid as the criminal getting paid as the criminal for getting possession of my property back perfectly legally. it could have been that the person in there was a criminal was was was was running no no no, no running a brothel. no no no, no one thinks, oh wow. you know, everyone thinks, the everyone just thinks, oh, the landlord terrible. the whole landlord is terrible. the whole society narrative on society in the narrative on landlords screwed. landlords is just screwed. and right landlords need support. >> okay . all right. look, >> okay. all right. look, samuel, thank you very much. i appreciate you coming on putting that across. you that side across. i hope you feel heard. it's, samuel

10:13 pm
they themselves they don't alienate themselves from their nearest dearest. from their nearest and dearest. what i think the conclusion with and what i know, and i hate to blame the girl, i hate to blame the girl. >> but in this situation i'm going to say he was happy before meghan and he was with his family. he loved his brother, he adored kate . they were they were adored kate. they were they were this true, true , wholesome trio this true, true, wholesome trio they used to get on and laugh and really love each other for me, the toxicity was when meghan came in, i think he was always a bit of a weak. >> i think he's weak and vulnerable all of that, and vulnerable and all of that, and i think he's always been a bit of troubled soul. but of a troubled soul. but i definitely with you. definitely agree with you. >> is, the thing >> the thing is, the thing is today, the paranoia has become a lot worse since it's a lot worse since meghan. it's a person. person , we're person. it's a person, and we're going to get lot more going to get a lot more of these, because is these, though, because harry is immediately out said , immediately come out and said, look, you know, this needs to basically be the beginning , basically be the beginning, doesn't think he sees it doesn't it? i think he sees it as race crusade . as his race and his crusade. >> we're going through a cost of living crisis. i know that's an overused but we are, and overused phrase, but we are, and that's i mean. seems to that's what i mean. he seems to

10:19 pm
10:20 pm
weekend at 3 pm. on gb news, the people's channel, britain's news channel . news channel. >> welcome back. a now . 17 year >> welcome back. a now. 17 year old british boy from greater manchester has been found in france after disappearing in 2017. alex batty was on a houday 2017. alex batty was on a holiday with his mother and grandfather when grandfather in spain when he mysteriously vanished a press mysteriously vanished in a press conference today, a conference earlier today, a french said that alex french prosecutor said that alex had of a community had been part of a community which lived a nomadic lifestyle in the pyrenees mountains, a community alex decided to leave when his mother said that they would have to move to finland. and what manchester and this is what manchester police is. assistant chief constable chris sykes had to say earlier our main priority earlier today. our main priority now see returned 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
10:21 pm
authorities to ensure they are all fully supported . 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 been in all those years as well, alex is due to fly back to his grandmother in the uk any time now. >> actually , and working >> actually, and working opportunities missed by the authorities to bring alex home. joining me now to discuss this case is the former detective constable in the greater manchester area at greater manchester area at greater manchester police is maggie oliver. maggie, thank you very, very much. i you've been in very much. i know you've been in credibly outspoken and very brave when it comes to the way the have handled or not the police have handled or not handled incidents involving children the greater children around the greater manchester area from what you can see about this case, what's happened here, i mean, how has this kid gone missing, been missing for so long? just talk me through your views, please . me through your views, please. >> um. good evening patrick. >> um. good evening patrick. >> um, i think really there's a
10:22 pm
lot of unanswered questions here, which probably will be answered over the coming days and weeks. i mean , what what and weeks. i mean, what what what occurs to me, first of all, is, you know, i've got a lot of questions as to, first of all, why this little this? well, he was a young boy of 12 when he went missing. but why was he in, um why was his grandma or his guardian? why was he not in the care of his mother? why was he allowed to go abroad with his grandfather mum? there grandfather and his mum? there were clearly family problems. um i think the thing that occurs to me as well is that i live in manchester. i live near manchester. i live near manchester. uh, alex went missing from oldham and yet until yesterday i had never heard this boy's name even mentioned in relation to him being missing. and i immediately probably like most other people in the country , think of in the country, think of madeleine mccann. i bet there isn't a person in the uk who doesn't know madeleine mccann's name . um, so where was the name. um, so where was the
10:23 pm
pubuchy name. um, so where was the publicity around alex when he went missing? and you know , had went missing? and you know, had there been more of an outcry about him going missing, maybe he would have been found sooner ? he would have been found sooner? um, i think what i would say as well, patrick, because it is relevant at about ten years ago when i was in the police, i was, um, a family liaison officer, and clearly remember, um, and i clearly remember, um, another little boy going missing, um, from oldham when he was in pakistan with his dad. and i was the family liaison officer on that case. a little boy called sahil. um, he was kidnapped, found a ransom, was paid in france, and he returned home. but that story was all over every front page of every papeh over every front page of every paper. um so why has there not been publicity around alex? why has it taken so for long him to, um, escape ? what has happened in um, escape? what has happened in happened to him in the intervening times ? and, you intervening times? and, you know, the trauma that he will feel probably for the rest of his life. um, will be very
10:24 pm
difficult to come to terms with. so a lot of unanswered questions, um, that i think will find more out about within the next few days. >> well, i mean, i think it's miraculous that he, as far as we're aware, is safe . and well, we're aware, is safe. and well, as you rightly said there, you know, no doubt there'll be some trauma along the way . and trauma along the way. and hopefully he gets all the help necessary for that. he's still 17 years old now, so not kind of legally an adult in that sense. his grandma has been speaking and saying that it was amazing to hear his voice and all of this. i imagine she's got some questions over the police. i mean, this guy was supposedly being held in a hippie commune somewhere in the pyrenees mountains . now i get that it's mountains. now i get that it's quite remote, but we're not talking about like the absolute back end of nowhere in the in the middle of the amazon rainforest. here are mean, rainforest. here are we? i mean, i just staggered that the i am just staggered that the full greater manchester full might of greater manchester police presumably interpol, europol, it is. are we europol, whatever it is. are we not found this guy? he handed himself in?
10:25 pm
>> yeah. i mean, you know, i don't know what's happened to him, but there has clearly been a breakdown somewhere in, um, in communication, in whether i don't know the extent of the original police investigation , original police investigation, but as i say, i wasn't aware that he was missing. um i mean, l, that he was missing. um i mean, i, i think i feel very much for the grandma, um , and, you know, the grandma, um, and, you know, the grandma, um, and, you know, the trauma that she's been going through, not knowing whether she was ever going to see her grandson again. that must have been a horrific journey to have to travel. and i take my hat off to travel. and i take my hat off to for alex having the, the you know, the mind and the bravery really to escape from wherever he was being held . he clearly he was being held. he clearly wasn't happy where he was. we don't know yet where he was held . who with what's happened to him? um, all the consequences of that. you know, when he comes back here, there will be an extended period of time when he'll be interviewed. there'll be a psychologist involved , be a psychologist involved, there'll be interviews. we
10:26 pm
there'll be video interviews. we might criminal offences. there'll be video interviews. we migsure criminal offences. there'll be video interviews. we mig sure we criminal offences. there'll be video interviews. we migsure we will nal offences. there'll be video interviews. we migsure we will have, fences. there'll be video interviews. we migsure we will have, because i'm sure we will have, because this, at the very least , i'm sure we will have, because this, at the very least, is child abduction. kidnapping false imprisonment. who knows? we really don't know. but, maggie. >> maggie. i mean, you know, you know better than anyone, actually, that greater manchester police, i mean, you you kind of quit to expose the grooming gang issue, right? and that was a massive, massive safeguarding issue. frankly, a cover up as well of epic proportions there and here we have very different issue as far as we're aware. but here we have as we're aware. but here we have a young child with clearly a complicated family background allowed to leave the country and then no massive publicity campaign to try to get him back. so do you think the microscope really will be on greater manchester police? well, in the coming days, well, what you probably asking the wrong person when it comes to that patriot, because i don't enough because i don't know enough about this case to criticise the police yet . police yet. >> um, and i don't want to lose my credibility , um, and make it
10:27 pm
my credibility, um, and make it look as though i will you know, criticise the police when there is no grounds for criticism. what i will say, though, patrick, is that my work every single day within the maggie oliver foundation shows me that cover ups , corruption and cover ups, corruption and incompetence in greater manchester police is even worse than i first thought it was when i resigned ten years ago. um, i mean, we are dealing with the most horrific cases is right now, not historical grooming, gang cases, six sexual abuse cases where, you know, women and girls have been, um, unlawfully strip searched in police custody, treated like, um, you know , public enemy number one, know, public enemy number one, abuse of power for, uh, cover ups, corruption, a lack of transparency . um, with this transparency. um, with this case, i don't see any of that yet , but i case, i don't see any of that yet, but i don't case, i don't see any of that yet , but i don't know, looking yet, but i don't know, looking at the quality of many of the cases we're dealing with. you know, the question i ask is , was know, the question i ask is, was everything done when this boy went missing? that could have been done . was the eye taken off
10:28 pm
been done. was the eye taken off the ball there definitely wasn't pubuchy the ball there definitely wasn't publicity that i would have liked to have seen. so a lot of unanswered questions and once we have the answers, i know a bit more then maybe i will have you know, um, uh, comments to make that would highlight where i feel that the mistakes were made. well, well , watch this space. >> look, maggie, thank you very, very for coming on very much for coming on in passing and passing some of your wisdom and expertise there. maggie oliver there, is a former detective there, who is a former detective constable at greater manchester police. look, it's important to say, obviously, greater manchester police aren't here to defend to of defend themselves to some of those doubt may those allegations. no doubt may well refute that. but this case is i mean, it's on one of the front pages that i'm going to go to shortly. unbelievable is to very shortly. unbelievable is the sun. i'll the headline in the sun. i'll just peak of just give you a sneak peak of that because it is unbelievable. this is a child now. that because it is unbelievable. this a is a child now. that because it is unbelievable. this a managing now. that because it is unbelievable. this a managing to w. that because it is unbelievable. this a managing to walk still a child managing to walk across the pyrenees mountains, escape , supposedly a hippie escape, supposedly a hippie cult. no idea what's happened to his mum or his grandfather , or his mum or his grandfather, or what him when he gets what awaits him when he gets back so back into britain. hear so much more to come. but thank god he's alive well because all too alive and well because all too often, we know in missing
