and ellie to tune into ju ju family. >> ju ju . >> ju ju. >> ju ju. >> so they'd all learnt the song a little dance routine there as well. obviously we've blurred out the children for their own protection. here's clip of protection. here's a clip of some incredibly young kids some more incredibly young kids being used to push the refugee is . you are is welcome message. you are welcome . here welcome. here >> you are welcome . here >> you are welcome. here >> you are welcome. here >> this is all part of a wider programme that has seen more than 400 schools and nurseries becoming so—called schools of sanctuary. this is driven by teachers, school staff, parents, governors and community groups. so adults now. the welsh refugee council has gone into schools and asked kids to do the following . students made welcome following. students made welcome to wales adverts making it loud and clear. sanctuary seekers are welcome in wales, as well as signposting refugees and asylum seekers to services we seekers to the services we provide. and here are the results. >> the welsh refugee council

helps refugees getting . helps refugees with getting. a bank account using social credit, child benefits, pension credit, child benefits, pension credit, employment and education advice. >> the best things are the welsh refugee council. you can get help from the welsh refugee council by having english lessons and getting £40 per week , and you have the opportunity to get a visa . to get a visa. >> oh great. well, we approached the welsh refugee council for comment but they have so far failed to get back to us at the time of their visit to that school, the head of communication and engagement said very impressed by said we were very impressed by the their fantastic the students and their fantastic questions. would encourage the students and their fantastic questiorwho would encourage the students and their fantastic questiorwho would d encourage the students and their fantastic questiorwho would like courage the students and their fantastic questiorwho would like torrage schools who would like to organise other refugee days to get in touch. well, the refugee council is in part funded by the welsh government. that, of course, is a labour government. now, in my view, people who say this is just a lovely thing to teach children to be kind are deliberately misinterpreting what's happening here.

deliberately misinterpreting w left; happening here. deliberately misinterpreting w left wing happening here. deliberately misinterpreting w left wing governmentng here. deliberately misinterpreting w left wing government is here. a left wing government is funding that goes into funding a charity that goes into schools pushes quite radical schools, pushes quite a radical ideology onto children who are then given praise and validation for acting that ideology out. and i think that is quite sinister. but it's not the only example. climate change is big in child indoctrination in the child indoctrination game. greta thunberg game. in 2018, greta thunberg became the face of the school strike for climate movement when she was just 15. the following yean she was just 15. the following year, she was nominated for the nobel peace prize. youth strikes that looked like this . that looked a bit like this. mark steyn show politics in al fayed are highly um. so the climate movement is underpinned by children and young people denigrating adults . adults are denigrating adults. adults are stealing their future. adults are evil. adults are to blame , are evil. adults are to blame, and children know best. we've seen bodies like the council of europe put forward resolutions that make inaction on climate change a violation of children's rights, as defined by the united nafions rights, as defined by the united nations convention on the rights of the child. now, again, we

have political bodies using children to push a contested ideological view onto the population . and of course, in population. and of course, in recent weeks, we've seen a school strike for palestine. thousands of children around the country were taken out of school by parents or teachers and paraded the streets paraded around the streets wading in on the israel—hamas conflict . what do you . conflict. what do you. >> what do you want ? gradually, >> what do you want? gradually, lorie , do you trust that they lorie, do you trust that they were all being taught that a ceasefire is the best option? >> or were they present during chants of israel being a terrorist state and palestine needing to be free from the river to the sea? i suspect it's the latter. i also suspect that schools took no action against parents removed parents who removed their children in. have primary children in. we have primary schools engaging in pride month as well , kids schools engaging in pride month as well, kids who look about as young as 4 or 5 years old are being draped in the rainbow flag and having pride picnics. this is encouraged by lgb activist groups, some of which are like

stonewall, for example , but also stonewall, for example, but also by our state broadcaster, the bbc. schools use resources from the bbc website, including newsround and bite size, to emphasise the lgbt agenda. it includes articles like . how to includes articles like. how to be an ally to friends who've changed their pronouns, now make no it, we no mistake about it, what we have in view , is have here, in my view, is a concerted, coordinated attempt to indoctrinate an entire generation children through generation of children through the charities, activist the use of charities, activist groups, political parties and legacy media outlets into a variety of radical, hard left ideologies . the variety of radical, hard left ideologies. the amount of variety of radical, hard left ideologies . the amount of people ideologies. the amount of people who are complicit in this is absolutely shocking. but of course, some them do it in course, some of them do it in part out of fear. the fear of being cancelled if they don't do it, the politicisation and adultification of children , in adultification of children, in my view, is not far off child abuse and i think it needs to be stopped now. we've reached out to the welsh refugee council for comment. we're yet to hear back from them as i've already said,

they may well refuse all of this stuff, be nice to stuff, but it would be nice to hear from them. let's get the thoughts on my panel. we've got daily express columnist carole malone, daily express columnist carole malone matthew lazer and former adviser matthew lazer and former brexit party mep belinda de lucy. i'll start with you lucy. carole i'll start with you should children be taught about a variety of things like, for example, the migrant crisis from, i would argue, a very, a very one dimensional way, they should be taught about politics, they should be taught about the migrant crisis, they should be taught everything. taught about everything. >> balanced way. they >> but in a balanced way. they should taught, not should be taught, not indoctrinated. huge indoctrinated. there's a huge difference because indoctrination , you only hear indoctrination, you only hear one side of the story. you hear one side of the story. you hear one one belief, and one thought, one belief, and that's what these kids are getting currently. you know, i watched of videos of watched some of the videos of those i mean, it those welsh kids. i mean, it shocked to my core because shocked me to my core because a lot of them are reading from scripts. they're reading from stuff front of them. they stuff in front of them. they don't they're don't know actually what they're saying. don't understand saying. they don't understand what they're more what they're saying. more importantly, they don't understand the problems of uncontrolled understand the problems of unco the lled understand the problems of uncothe hell understand the problems of unco the hell should they? why the hell should they? they're ten old at the they're ten years old at the

moment and they don't understand what does infrastructure, what it does to infrastructure, how costs, who pay for how much it costs, who pay for it. so these kids to trot it. so to get these kids to trot that stuff out, you are quite right intro and saying right in your intro and saying that bit like that film was a bit like something from north korea. these trotting stuff these kids are trotting stuff out that don't understand, out that they don't understand, and what they're saying is things where's this a safe things like, where's this a safe country? where's is lovely country? where's is a lovely country? where's is a lovely country? wales is fabulous. >> and get a visa. >> come and come and get a visa. get a visa, and get a visa. get a visa, come and get a visa. >> it is outrage. you know i hate what is happening to our kids. know, they're in kids. you know, they're in schools kids are being schools now. kids are being taught there taught that there are 100 genders. can a planet or genders. you can be a planet or you can be a star. i mean, it's tosh, gender, ideology. you know, the clue is in the word ideology, but these kids are being an ideology fact being taught an ideology as fact and on. and it's not on. >> all right. matthew, does the left have a problem with wanting to indoctrinate kids? >> think it's >> no, i don't think it's particularly a problem for the left. think there left. but i mean, i think there are some things in the what are some things in the in what we've seen today that make me uncomfortable. there are other things are perfectly things that are perfectly sensible. think it's the welsh sensible. i think it's the welsh example did is it took example that they did is it took a into the a couple of refugees into the school, of whom from

school, one of whom is from ukraine. if you're going ukraine. i think if you're going to stimulate discussion, as carol absolutely carol says, that's absolutely fine. but i agree with carol that having videos which that having the videos which which where the which where people where the kids scripts, kids were reading scripts, i'm not many year not sure how many nine year olds, know about visa olds, you know, know about visa rules universal credit in any rules or universal credit in any detail. so, i mean, that's detail. and so, i mean, that's that, that what we that, that, that from what we can see, we don't know if they were scripts, does look were scripts, but it does look like the videos. like they are on the videos. um, then makes me then that that makes me uncomfortable. what uncomfortable. but i think what we do need do is make sure we do need to do is make sure politics is discussed in the classroom. way, as politics is discussed in the classrsays, way, as politics is discussed in the classrsays, the way, as politics is discussed in the classrsays, the welsh; carol says, that the welsh labour government be funding things the welsh things like the welsh refugee council to go into schools and to do things they shouldn't be funding, should certainly funding, they should certainly have world have a word with the world refugee they have a word with the world refireading they have a word with the world refireading it they have a word with the world refireading it kids they have a word with the world refireading it kids reading are reading it out, kids reading out a script that they don't understand is understand because that is effectively a effectively using the kids as a mouthpiece somebody mouthpiece for somebody else's views, that's different. you know, say those kids views, that's different. you kn0\been say those kids views, that's different. you kn0\been campaigningse kids views, that's different. you kn0\been campaigning on

right. but not reading scripts written this >> linda, is this indoctrination? >> linda, is this indyi:trination? >> linda, is this indyi:trinat adults targeting >> i think adults targeting children political children to pursue a political agenda, kind of agenda, to pursue some kind of validation abuse of validation is a total abuse of power. my power. um teachers. i, in my opinion, who perform opinion, um, who perform political activism in the classroom opposed to teaching classroom as opposed to teaching should be sacked. >> i think there should be an oath , like a hippocratic oath, oath, like a hippocratic oath, that doctors do that teachers perform they will not use perform saying they will not use their platform as a teacher to brainwash, to use children as tools to further their own ideology . g there should be some ideology. g there should be some kind of oath because the conservatives don't give any consequences to these schools. we have the horrific, harmful gender ideology planting seeds in our children at school that if they don't fit sexist stereotypes , that they could be stereotypes, that they could be born in the wrong body. this leads to massive harm to our children. race theory. children. critical race theory. the palestinian conflict. this is stripping our children of critical thinking. are making critical thinking. we are making them more vulnerable. they won't. this is why i think nella in found so in the jungle found it so difficult people difficult to be around people with views because with different views because teachers using their abuse , teachers are using their abuse, their in their

their platforms in their classrooms to indoctrinate children further their own . children to further their own. why on earth does a four year old a pride flag their old have a pride flag in their hand or year old? old have a pride flag in their hari or year old? old have a pride flag in their hari or those|r old? old have a pride flag in their hari or those people were >> i mean, those people were like nursery age children. >> this is this the thing >> this is this is the thing that when go on a that, you know, when you go on a rally part rally or you're part of a campaign, know, you campaign, you know, you have you all of on this server have all of us on this server have controversial views, and know controversial views, and we know there to that. there are consequences to that. sometimes kids don't sometimes kids don't. kids don't understand that there are consequences . as you know, the consequences. as you know, the bbc has a bbc actually has a has a programme which puts out all this transgender nonsense. and they becoming they say becoming a becoming a transgender will make you happy . transgender will make you happy. they don't talk about the drugs that you have. and there's a bigger about the ops. >> they're teaching children that just basis that that just on the basis that you're you're a refugee, you're a good and is a good person, and that is so dangerous in germany dangerous because in germany recently, there was a yazidi victim who had to bump into her isis captor on the street. and when she complained, the germans said, well, a refugee. said, oh, well, he's a refugee. we can't anything about it. we can't do anything about it. not refugees are good. not we can't do anything about it. notbritish ugees are good. not we can't do anything about it. notbritish people|re good. not we can't do anything about it. notbritish people are |ood. not we can't do anything about it. notbritish people are good.iot we can't do anything about it. notbritish people are good. no, all british people are good. no, but but it's horrific message to send if you

send to children. if you are a refugee, you're trustworthy. you're no everyone's you're honourable. no everyone's as susceptible to being bad as susceptible as to being bad or good anyone or good as anyone else. >> the quotes >> one of the quotes on a website , uh, that looked at website, uh, that we looked at earlier today was from a child out of school and it was like, how what do if you saw how what would you do if you saw a refugee? and it was like, i would invite to and would invite them to come and stay how stay in my house. how terrifying. when got terrifying. when we've got migrant moment and migrant hotels at the moment and people are out streets. people are out on the streets. i personally people are out on the streets. i perso a my people are out on the streets. i perso a risky thing to it's quite a risky thing to it's dangerous to kids, dangerous to tell kids, and they've very they've also been certainly very final sorry final word final word. sorry final word to matthew yeah. final word. sorry final word to ma'ihew yeah. final word. sorry final word to ma'i mean, yeah. final word. sorry final word to ma'i mean, quuestion of >> i mean, on the question of pride flags, there's a pride flags, i think there's a difference between saying that, you agenda difference between saying that, you have agenda difference between saying that, you have consequencesagenda does have consequences between showing different sorts of families they're families to kids as they're growing up. so it doesn't come as they discovered as a shock. and they discovered that know, that that people, you know, that people parents of the people have two parents of the same sex, uh, later in life. so, you know, remember the dark you know, i remember the dark days 80s when it was, you days of the 80s when it was, you know, those sorts of books were banned lives banned when it was eric lives with, michael with, you know, john and michael or whatever it was. >> do just keep childhood >> how do we just keep childhood sacred minute? the sacred for a minute? and the left paws left keep their paws off childhood gonna left keep their paws off childigoing gonna left keep their paws off childigoing to gonna left keep their paws off childigoing to we're gonna left keep their paws off childigoing to we're gto na we're going to we're going to rattle like i said as rattle through like i said as well. >> we've approached a variety of different people there for comment, and we await their

1 or 2 or 300 or 400 people trying to deal with it, and you haven't dealt with it, and it's because it's anti—humanitarian the way you're looking at it and what al maroni is doing, given that she's got her far right cohort sooner, looks more presentable than obama does from hungary. so what you've got is a situation here where rishi sunak sir flip flop like an old salmon duck , doesn't know what he's duck, doesn't know what he's doing. so he's running along to find out the best way forward. maloney hasn't done it. she isn't doing it right. what is the right way of looking at immigration? if you're looking what she says , it threatens what she says, it threatens citizens security and quality of life . our immigrants don't do life. our immigrants don't do that. life. our immigrants don't do that . they run the care homes , that. they run the care homes, they run the nhs. they're not doing. >> they were talking mostly about illegal immigration. so to be fair, jenny, i'll come back to you, though. damian, do you want to come back to that? i mean, i think the gist was that, you sunak is being you know, rishi sunak is being

used to kind of whitewash what was a far right event. >> they're not at you've >> they're not at all. you've already were already said yourself that were very politicians from very many other politicians from different of the political different parts of the political spectrum there. that's absolutely right they were absolutely right that they were attending it an attending this because it is an issue that transcends all the political views. and those countries front in countries on the front line in europe, italy being one of the most, you know, the lampedusa , most, you know, the lampedusa, uh, situation uh, migrant migrant situation has increased by 50. and it's right that, uh, prime minister maloney wants to deal with that. they are dealing things . they are dealing with things. they're line. as they're on the front line. as i've and can work i've said, and we can work together. work with together. we've got to work with people. is people. you know, italy is a partner. it's a partner in the g7 . it's a partner. it's a partner in the g7. it's a partner partner. it's a partner in the g7 . it's a partner nato, and g7. it's a partner in nato, and it's partner where we work it's a partner where we can work on together with the on this issue together with the prime minister was criticised for not talking prime for not talking to one prime minister a week or ago. now minister a week or two ago. now he to prime minister. he is talking to prime minister. he's from that he's getting criticism from that as you can only as well. but you can only do this as a joined up way of working very other working with very many other countries, europe working with very many other co tackle, europe working with very many other co tackle, issue, europe working with very many other co tackle, issue, to europe working with very many other co tackle, issue, to stop|rope to tackle this issue, to stop the people trafficking and to make our borders safe and to control migration, because that's people want us to that's what people want us to do. it is completely wrong to brand this as far right, and i

think sloppy or lazy at think it was sloppy or lazy at best, and well malicious at best, and damn well malicious at worst. stop best, and damn well malicious at worst. week stop best, and damn well malicious at worst. week when stop best, and damn well malicious at worst. week when we're) best, and damn well malicious at worst. week when we're talking another week when we're talking about bbc bias, all right, jenny, go on. >> well , look, it was jenny, go on. >> well, look, it was a far right rally. >> full stop . rishi sunak went >> full stop. rishi sunak went out there, they hug each other. they kiss each other on the steps , and we're forced to steps, and we're forced to looking at a man who doesn't know what he's doing. and given that he doesn't know what he's doing, he's holding hands with people who i would prefer. he didn't hold hands with. i come from a background where we were flip flopped around in 1948, and now look what's happening in gaza. now look what's happening in gaza . what is the problem with gaza. what is the problem with in, quote, immigrants? what are you so terrified of that you're not looking at this in a global sense. we are a global family. it's going to get worse with climate change, with wars , climate change, with wars, poverty, destabilise nation. what are you going to do? you're going to chuck everybody out. so

that we live on this little island all on our own. and whether you like it, the prime minister of italy is a nationalist, and it's going that way in sweden, and it's going that in germany, because the that way in germany, because the left up left is not standing up and saying enough is enough. and what rishi sunak is doing, he's running away with his little feet. he's running away . feet. he's running away. >> okay. all right. i'll let you i'll let you come back to that then, damian. i mean, do you have for that? have any truck for that? >> problem with >> well, the problem with the left course, they don't >> well, the problem with the left any course, they don't >> well, the problem with the left any plan. e, they don't >> well, the problem with the left any plan. we1ey don't >> well, the problem with the left any plan. we see don't >> well, the problem with the left any plan. we see that here have any plan. we see that here at home with keir starmer have any plan. we see that here at horthey th keir starmer have any plan. we see that here at horthey don't keir starmer have any plan. we see that here at horthey don't vote ir starmer have any plan. we see that here at horthey don't vote ir starnof does. they don't vote for any of the that want to put the controls that we want to put into the prime minister into place. the prime minister responded to the supreme court judgement has made sure that we tie all those loose ends that tie up all those loose ends that we do and of course, we need to do and of course, is working a global sense with working in a global sense with partners, particularly on our own doorstep in europe. so actually, are the right actually, those are the right things do make sure people things to do to make sure people are in country , have the are in this country, have the security need to tackle security they need to tackle this issue. they want sorted this issue. they want it sorted out. to out. they wanted tackling and to say nothing is not say to do nothing is not acceptable. but you can't do it alone. you've got to work with, you've work national

you've got to work with national partners . you can't just say, partners. you can't just say, oh, we'll just do it on our own. these people are coming from very many other places. >> jenny, jenny, jenny, i >> jenny, jenny, jenny, can i just do you genuinely, just ask you, do you genuinely, in your heart hearts, you in your heart of hearts, do you think than open think anything other than open borders ? borders is far right? >> no, i don't , i think that we >> no, i don't, i think that we have to sit down across all parties and work out what is the best way for people who are lawyers, doctors , teachers lawyers, doctors, teachers coming over on little boats, running away from legally come here the best way is to come here the best way is to come here legally. >> surely . >> surely. >> surely. >> so what's happening? why haven't for 13 years has this tory government not dealt with all these things ? and you, in all these things? and you, in your last thing i've been watching the news about children in wales. yeah what? what do you want to teach children? that it's an us and them society. it is not us and them. you know, there for the grace of god, go i rishi sunak is prepared to flout laws to get what he wants and he's holding hands with people

who are dangerous and it is no way to exist in 2024, as we. >> but both of you, thank you very much. a spirited head to head, which is what we're like. we another one we we are yet another one we obviously on obviously could have carried on for another hour. for at least another hour. so thank very, very much. that thank you very, very much. that is assistant is the former assistant government moore government whip damian moore mp, up against author and broadcaster barnett . you broadcaster jenny barnett. you know good head to head know it's a good head to head for is for neither one of them is really at of it. really happy at the end of it. still chomping the but still chomping at the bit. but we tack to the bbc for we can't tack to the bbc for a response earlier today they refused there response earlier today they refl god there response earlier today they reflgo . there response earlier today they reflgo . um, there response earlier today they reflgo . um, so there response earlier today they reflgo . um, so who there response earlier today they reflgo . um, so who do there response earlier today they reflgo . um, so who do you here response earlier today they reflgo . um, so who do you agree we go. um, so who do you agree with the bbc described with after the bbc described giorgia political with after the bbc described giorgia attendedylitical with after the bbc described giorgia attended by cal with after the bbc described giorgia attended by rishi sunak festival attended by rishi sunak as a far right rally , is it as a far right rally, is it really far right to control immigration in. so chris on twitter says no, it's common sense, uncontrolled immigration is the reason why we can't see a gp or get a house. ali on twitter says it's the extreme left that consistently uses the far label for political far right label for political purposes, bbc purposes, ending the bbc disagrees with is shrugged off as far right . disagrees with is shrugged off as far right. hey on twitter says it is the right blame says yes, it is the right blame everything immigration to

everything on immigration to cover own failures. and cover their own failures. and unfortunately has the uk unfortunately it has made the uk a less welcoming place. right? your verdict is in 7% of you say it is far right to want to control immigration, 93% of you say that it's not so a resounding victory for our man damian there. but coming up with keir starmer and wes streeting visiting a yorkshire hospital after promises to reform the nhs and create a 24 over seven service. can we really trust labour to fix our ailing health service? fleet street kingpin kelvin mackenzie is live in the studio to give his unrivalled analysis into that. plus the disgraced . or is she baroness disgraced. or is she baroness michelle mone? but next, after british teenager alex batty speaks out six years after vanishing from a holiday in spain, did the police do enough to find him ? former metropolitan to find him? former metropolitan police detective peter bleksley has been keeping a keen eye on this case, and he gives us a bit of an inside scoop as well. oh and tory deputy chairman lee anderson hits back at an lbc hoax caller who pretended to be

his son live on the airwaves. he wants to get the police involved. don't that, involved. don't miss that, senior

isabel monday to thursdays from. six till 930. >> well, time now to delve deeper into the mysterious case of alex batty with former hunted star and undercover detective peter bleksley. the disappearance and sudden re—emergence of 17 year old alex batty six years after going

missing , has batty six years after going missing, has made headlines all around the world, with the teenager returning to the uk over the weekend. speaking publicly for the first time earlier today, batus said he was pleased to be home for christmas after being taken away to europe by mother and grandfather by his mother and grandfather back in 2017 when he was aged just 11. well, in the six years since, he's reportedly been moved spain, morocco and moved between spain, morocco and france as his mother looked to settle in a spiritual off grid community. but last week , after community. but last week, after she threatened to move the family to finland . but he made family to finland. but he made the decision return to the uk the decision to return to the uk to official identity to seek official identity documents. spending four days trekking through the pyrenees to find peter bleksley joins find help. peter bleksley joins me now and very grateful for us as well. peter, thank you very much. lots of questions here, loads of them. what questions would you be asking of greater manchester police right now? just how much time, effort and expense did they put in to trying to find alex when he was originally reported missing in 2017? >> they're the questions i'd

like to be answered because we've seen greater manchester police having press conferences and expressing how delighted they are that alex has been found, but sort of not mentioning at all how much work they've actually put in to trying to find him over the years. >> serious question marks about our friends on the other side of the channel as well, in mainland europe. i mean, if it is the case that this child has managed to pass through spain, morocco , to pass through spain, morocco, france, and his mother is possibly in finland now , possibly in finland now, presumably there would have been marks on passports for the security services to say they need to be looking for these people now. >> we'll have to see just >> well, we'll have to see just how off grid lived, i'm how off grid they lived, and i'm sure that most of answers to sure that most of the answers to those questions will come from alex . but of course, the alex himself. but of course, the main thrust at the moment is alex's welfare , both his mental alex's welfare, both his mental well—being and his physical well—being. so it might be that whilst the police might be keen to question him, certainly i would, as an old sweat detective

, i'd want to know where he's been, who's facilitated his movement . are there any other movement. are there any other offences disclosed? but in 2023, his welfare has to be the prime consideration and perhaps the questioning might not come. saying until after christmas, who knows? >> one of the overriding things with this case that a lot of people are saying is i'd never heard you compare heard of it. when you compare that madeleine mccann that to the madeleine mccann disappearance, example , or disappearance, for example, or a couple other that couple of the other ones that we've recently as well, do we've had recently as well, do you think the police maybe just thought, you think the police maybe just tho mum, so it doesn't really his mum, so it doesn't really matter. but she wasn't his legal guardian, no. >> grandmother , susan, >> his grandmother, susan, remains guardian and remains his legal guardian and there perhaps have been some there may perhaps have been some apathy around all of this because it was a garden ukip order that alex was subject to and these matters are often held in complete secrecy in family courts. and that's understood laudable. when there are vulnerable children and young people involved in disputes between parents, when there's

divorces and such , like it's divorces and such, like it's only correct that that matters are held in in family court. so l, are held in in family court. so i, i wonder perhaps and this is just me speculating at the moment . but just me speculating at the moment. but did the just me speculating at the moment . but did the police moment. but did the police perhaps see it as sort of a family court matter and not necessarily be a high profile , necessarily be a high profile, vulnerable missing person inquiry? we'll have to see. but you know, you've had years and years and years at the sharp end of police thing, right? >> do you find it quite surprising that nobody was able to track this kid down again? >> it comes down to how hard did they try in this day and age, it's pretty difficult to live off off grid. >> not impossible . not entirely >> not impossible. not entirely impossible as we've seen, of course this week. but but it's increasingly difficult now. we know in the first instance that alex went down to spain on a houday alex went down to spain on a holiday with his mother and grandfather and didn't return from that holiday, which is when he was reported as missing. so the police would clearly have

had a start point in spain if they'd put necessary resources in to trying to find him. and i'm sure off grid communities can be tracked down. can be found, and i'm a little surprised that he actually spent six years completely off the radar. >> what will the police be doing now, then? so greater manchester police will presumably be all over this and trying to track people down. what what you people down. what what do you think doing? because think they'll be doing? because they're think they'll be doing? because they'rquestions you just now? questions like, you just asked tonight about frankly, what were you doing asked tonight about frankly, wor: were you doing asked tonight about frankly, wor: years? were you doing asked tonight about frankly, wor: years? iwere you doing asked tonight about frankly, wor: years? i mean ou doing asked tonight about frankly, wor: years? i mean ,u doing asked tonight about frankly, wor: years? i mean , they're 6 or 7 years? i mean, they're going have to answer those going to have to answer those now proactive now and be proactive going forward. be waiting. forward. they'll be waiting. >> they'll be waiting to interview alex. everything will revolve around alex's welfare. and it might be, for example , and it might be, for example, that alex could say, and once again, this is just supposition on my behalf. he might say , i on my behalf. he might say, i don't want to get my mum in trouble . trouble. >> i didn't want to live with her, but i don't want to get her in trouble. >> so don't investigate in trouble. >> splease don't investigate in trouble. >> splease don'tl't investigate in trouble. >> splease don't try nvestigate in trouble. >> splease don't try andtigate in trouble.

>> splease don't try and finde her. please don't try and find her. please don't try and find her. which of course might not ultimately be his decision, but those the sort of things those are the sort of things that the police possibly will have to juggle with. all right, peter look, thank you very, peter, look, thank you very, very much. >> have e have the >> great to have you on the show. that you're >> great to have you on the show. to that you're >> great to have you on the show. to be that you're >> great to have you on the show. to be keeping at you're >> great to have you on the show. to be keeping a you're >> great to have you on the show. to be keeping a close; >> great to have you on the show. to be keeping a close eye going to be keeping a close eye on this particular case for us. so talk you so no doubt we'll talk to you again now in again very, very soon. now in a statement, manchester statement, greater manchester police with police have said speaking with alex that feels alex at a pace that feels comfortable will comfortable to him, will ultimately how ultimately determine how this case and whether case is progressed and whether there is a criminal investigation to ensue. our continued focus is supporting alex and his family in partnership with other local agencies, to ensure they are safe. their well—being is looked after and his reintegration with society is as easy as possible. we are yet to establish the full circumstances surrounding his disappearance, no matter disappearance, but no matter what, understand that this may be overwhelming process. he be an overwhelming process. he may now be six years older than when he went missing, he is when he went missing, but he is still person . so that, when he went missing, but he is sti course, person . so that, when he went missing, but he is sti course, who erson . so that, when he went missing, but he is sti course, who you're so that, when he went missing, but he is sti course, who you're hearing, when he went missing, but he is sti course, who you're hearing in of course, who you're hearing in the former scotland the studio is former scotland yard peter bleksley. the studio is former scotland yard up, peter bleksley. the studio is former scotland yard up, petygotleksley. the studio is former scotland yard up, petygot fleet�*y. coming up, we've got fleet street legend kelvin mackenzie weighing in on labour's nhs plans, but first deputy chairman

on your digital radio and on your smart speaker by saying play your smart speaker by saying play gb news now it's back to . play gb news now it's back to. patrick. welcome along. >> now we are at war when it comes to the migrant crisis, not with the illegal migrants themselves . and i am very aware themselves. and i am very aware that tensions are running high, especially where especially in ireland, where a hotel that was reportedly about to be used for migrants was torched the other day . but torched the other day. but britain's enemies are weaponising the migrant crisis to the west. defence to destabilise the west. defence secretary grant shapps has warned that . hostile states are warned that. hostile states are using widespread immigration as a weapon . a recent joint a weapon. a recent joint expeditionary force meeting had nafions expeditionary force meeting had nations saying that russia was using illegal migration as a means of war. it is known that the wagner group, linked to russia has a massive presence in africa , and countries like italy africa, and countries like italy have long said that they are behind the surge in boat arrivals in places like lampard

duza. poland said belarus lured migrants to minsk with the promise of european visas . isis promise of european visas. isis terrorists have been using the migrant crisis to send terrorists to europe on migrant boats . a number of cases have boats. a number of cases have been reported, including that of abdul majid tool, who was responsible for the bardo museum attack in tunisia on the 18th of march 2015, which killed 21 tourists. he was spotted on a migrant boat in sicily on february 2015. later arrested in milan. another such case is that of mehdi ben nasa who was arrested in italy in 2008 for being the head of a terrorist cell with links to al—qaeda flooding a continent with vast swathes of people causes instability and it piles pressures on public services . as pressures on public services. as those people come from radically different cultures , that breaks different cultures, that breaks down national identity and unity . some of those people are terrorists , which impact public terrorists, which impact public safety. there is a soft war taking place at the moment and we are losing that war, but we are losing it because of the other group of people who, i

would argue we are also at war with. there is a war with. it is the people who block deportation flights no reason flights for no good reason whatsoever is the people who drag immigration policies through system. we're through the court system. we're about see with salary about to see it with the salary level increase reunite level increase as well, reunite families which support people affected by immigration rules, is apparently planning a legal challenge to the government's policy to increase the migrant salary threshold . to around salary threshold. to around £38,700. this is just ridiculous. this is just a government policy that would have widespread public support. we seriously now live in a country where any immigration policy that isn't complete and utter open borders is probably going to end up in the supreme court. we cannot function like this. and now airlines are reportedly refusing to work with the government to send people to rwanda . they are afraid of rwanda. they are afraid of losing the public relations war, aren't they ? there is a majority aren't they? there is a majority view in this country, and that view in this country, and that view is that we need to reduce legal and illegal immigration because it is having a monumental , because it is having a

monumental, detrimental impact on society , our finances and on our society, our finances and our way of life. that is the majority view, but a small group of people are able to thwart that. and that is the war within in, i don't think for one second that hive minded legal types, charity activists or woke companies actually realise this. i don't think they're doing this deliberately necessary , but they deliberately necessary, but they are just useful idiots for the likes of vladimir putin and extreme islamist terror cells. but to respond now, i'm joined again by daily express columnist carole malone. i've got former labour party adviser matthew laza , former brexit party mep laza, former brexit party mep beunda laza, former brexit party mep belinda de lucy. carole i'll start with you. we've got grant shapps saying that there is a hybnd shapps saying that there is a hybrid form of warfare taking place now , so we know that place now, so we know that countries who don't wish us well are using the migrant crisis to essentially diminish us. and then you couple that with kind of woke airline company saying, oh, we won't deport anyone. are we fighting a war on two fronts? we and three fronts as well. >> you know, shapps said today

we know must stand firm we know we must stand firm against we can't stand against putin. we can't stand firm own mps, firm against our own mps, for god's know, as for the god's sake. you know, as for the people planes, mean, people on the planes, i mean, they're idiots. those, those those companies , those aviation companies, because what they don't realise they're it would they're saying it would cause reputational if they reputational damage if they carry these migrants. know what will cause them reputation like maybe it would them maybe it would cause them reputational among the reputational damage among the elite. amount of people. elite. small amount of people. it will cause them much bigger damage the mass damage among the mass population, the populous of people, ordinary people who will not fly with them. this not fly with them. on this basis, very easy basis, that's a very easy problem solve. we just take problem to solve. we just take a military plane, them all military plane, we put them all on plane get on the military plane and get them is them out of the way. but it is true. putin has you know, this is latest weapon of war, is his latest weapon of war, immigration. you know, he hopes to promote disunity within europe by rising energy prices and by mass immigration. and we know that troops are in know that his troops are in sub—sahara and african countries lending aid to regimes, encouraging people to leave the countries. and, you know, in the central mediterranean last year , central mediterranean last year, the numbers coming, they increased by more than half.

that's going to be much more next year. and you know, sunak had had the nerve today to say the west has to get tough on this. he can't get tough it. this. he can't get tough on it. for can't do it . for god's sake. he can't do it. >> matthew, we're at war, aren't we? >> well , i we? >> well, i mean, russia has been using migrants directly . using migrants very directly. um, them on the um, uh, by dumping them on the border finland. finland border with finland. so finland had most border had to close most of its border crossings with russia over. in fact, all of them at one point last week. yes , absolutely, last week. and, yes, absolutely, there of instability , there is a lot of instability, which need to do two which is why we need to do two things. we need to the things. we need to process the applications. at moment applications. and at the moment we've which is we've got the backlog, which is just and growing under just growing and growing under the tories, of people who the tories, 1% of people who came their came on a small boat had their application year, application assessed last year, and smash the gangs, and we need to smash the gangs, which we need to use which is why we need to use terror legislation, which is labour's starmer's personal labour's keir starmer's personal plan to use terror legislation against against the gangs. and that happened. need that hasn't happened. so we need to get tough. >> but you say that, you know, shapps today it it's shapps today said it like it's a new idea. smash the gangs. they've smash they've had years to smash legislation, what we've legislation, which is what we've said they should do. >> what do make of >> belinda, what do you make of these companies these aviation companies now that people that are refusing to fly people over there? mean, we are in over there? i mean, if we are in the middle of a war, are they

not just the same boat not just in the same boat as the likes putin and some of these jihadis? >> well, i think carol's completely think completely right. i think they'll in they'll they'll be hit in the pocket because majority pocket because the vast majority of wanted to support of the public wanted to support people who have no right to be here. for grant shapps to here. but for grant shapps to come are going to come out saying, we are going to stand you know, using stand up to you know, using immigration as warfare , it's immigration as as warfare, it's been going on for years. gaddafi over ten years ago threatened to use migration for warfare . we've use migration for warfare. we've got countries like turkey , got countries like turkey, morocco, tunisia getting hundreds of millions of pounds from europe to control their borders. and until we stop outsourcing the control of our borders to foreign countries that hundreds of millions that make hundreds of millions off back of taxpayer , off the back of the taxpayer, this continuing. and this will keep continuing. and there's no point when all this wish of, oh, have to do wish list of, oh, we have to do this, to do that, we this, we have to do that, we have to amend block have to amend or block international that's have to amend or block internatour|l that's have to amend or block internatour countryhat's have to amend or block internatour country at:'s have to amend or block internatour country at risk. now putting our country at risk. now we've have balls to we've got to have the balls to do it. >> our government, we've got if we've a defence we've got a defence secretary who's coming out and now categorically saying people who are britain's enemies are using the migrant crisis an act of the migrant crisis as an act of hybnd the migrant crisis as an act of hybrid and have hybrid warfare. and we have
