olivia utley . olivia, happy new olivia utley. olivia, happy new year to you . um, i hope you had year to you. um, i hope you had a corker last night and kemi will be hoping to have a corker of a year this is the second poll that kemi badenoch has won recently from conservative home. she won their minister of the yeah she won their minister of the year. now she's their favoured leader . what year. now she's their favoured leader. what do you think it is about kemi that resonates so well with conservative home voters ? voters? >> well, i think what's so interesting about kemi badenoch is over the last sort of six months or so, she seems to have done what many thought was impossible and united right impossible and united the right and the left of the conservative party now, as we saw at the end of the last parliamentary tum before we all broke up for christmas, those two sides of the conservative party are almost at civil war stage, when the rwanda bill was at its second reading in parliament, there were those on the right of there were those on the right of the conservative party who wanted to vote it down. they didn't in end, but they're didn't in the end, but they're still on the still threatening to on the grounds it grounds that they think it doesn't enough there doesn't go far enough and there are loopholes . we'll are too many loopholes. we'll end many migrants ,

end up with too many migrants, uh, using the using the courts to avoid deportation. meanwhile there were those on the left of there were those on the left of the party who similarly felt that the bill was not quite right. but they thought the bill was wrong because they thought that it went too far. they thought that it strayed too close international close to breaking international law. one rishi sunak pledges law. one of rishi sunak pledges is to stop the boats. is obviously to stop the boats. how is he supposed to do that when he's got two warring sides of the party, the right and the left both left at loggerheads? both disagreeing with him? that just shows the scale of the problem for next tory leader. but for the next tory leader. but kemi badenoch might be the woman for job. why is that? well, for the job. why is that? well, she's got the right on side over the last few months, mostly because of the way she's spoken up on the issue of gender recognition in scotland . she's recognition in scotland. she's been the driving force between stopping that bill, the gender recognition act, scotland, which was going to allow people to change id, gender id change their id, gender id without any formal process . and without any formal process. and she's been speaking up about self—identification in schools

as well. now, that really, really appeals to grassroots tories on the right of the party. meanwhile, those on the left of the party like her because of her attitude towards brexit as business secretary, she was a brexiteer herself, of course, but as business secretary she's been pretty cautious . there was talk of a cautious. there was talk of a bonfire of eu legislation at the end of last year. there was a plan , i think it was spearheaded plan, i think it was spearheaded by boris johnson , to set alight by boris johnson, to set alight 4000 eu rules and regulations , 4000 eu rules and regulations, kemi badenoch said. no let's not do that. she spoke to business leaders. she wanted to get some certainty about it and she's gone for for a a slower, more cautious approach . so that means cautious approach. so that means there are quite a lot on the left party see her as left of the party who see her as a safe pair of hands. a sort of safe pair of hands. obviously, this poll by conservativehome relatively conservativehome is relatively small. are i think, just small. there are i think, just over 800 people in it , over 800 people who voted in it, but it's often very, very telling conservative of home members are conservative party members are conservative party members , and last time they members, and last time they voted for their favourite leader, it was liz truss. and sure enough , liz truss won the

sure enough, liz truss won the leadership election. so this is very good news indeed for kemi badenoch and her supporters. and she certainly, for me at she is certainly, for me at least, the one to watch in 2024. >> okay, you heard it there first. thank you very much. olivia utley superb as ever . now olivia utley superb as ever. now japan's tsunami warning was downgraded early today to less serious after having earlier issued a major warning after a series of strong earthquakes. up to 50 earthquakes reported in the area . buildings have the area. buildings have collapsed, 30 buildings and tens of thousands of homes are without power . locals are without power. locals are advised to stay alert to any changes and follow instructions issued by authority . and as we issued by authority. and as we have reported , a man has died have reported, a man has died after japan was hit by several earthquakes resulting in evacuations and tsunami warnings. well i can now speak with the professor of planetary geoscience sciences, and that's professor david rothery. david, thank you for joining professor david rothery. david, thank you forjoining us. so can you bring us up to speed on how

this earthquake was first caught and is the danger passed, or is there still further danger to come ? come? >> well, i think the greatest danger has passed and you've rightly said the tsunami warnings have been relaxed. >> but the basic position in japan is the floor of the pacific ocean is being pushed below japan , and that's the below japan, and that's the cause of earthquakes . now, this cause of earthquakes. now, this was on the side of japan away from the pacific. >> was northeast face, >> it was the northeast face, northwest facing coast japan , northwest facing coast of japan, as you here, the as you see here, where the earthquake occurred, but at a depth of only ten kilometres and it was magnitude 7.5 or 7.6, a large earthquake , shallow depth, large earthquake, shallow depth, right on the shoreline caused a lot of shaking on land. >> and of course disturbed the seawater . um, >> and of course disturbed the seawater. um, this is shaking dunng seawater. um, this is shaking during the earthquake, the camera's being shaken around here. >> it makes the ground shaking look worse. >> this is a tsunami . >> this is a tsunami. >> this is a tsunami. >> waves crashing ashore. you'll see here just overtop the sea wall. >> but they're not doing any damage. >> they're not flooding through damage. >> streets not flooding through damage. >> streets not draggingthrough damage. >> streets not dragging people the streets and dragging people away .

away. >> and is away. >> and this is stuff being thrown off shelves during the earthquake. and the strong shaking on for, um, shaking went on for, um, a minute or more. and wise people will have stayed indoors and not risked running outside. so things might fall on their heads . um, so, but have been more than a dozen earthquakes greater magnitude five in the. is it eight hours now since the earthquake occurred? um, and these are still causing some damage. there's a lot of damage to roads. the power lines down, but very , very few people killed but very, very few people killed as a direct result of the earthquake and the tsunami threat has pretty much receded. unless there's another really big earthquake to come , which is big earthquake to come, which is possible. but unlike me and professor rothery , we're seeing professor rothery, we're seeing dramatic pictures on screens here of buildings collapsed entire buildings just raised to the ground. >> but of course could have been much worse because japan has a very, very high level of prepared widnes. the build standards or some of the highest in the earthquake stricken world. unlike other countries

where we've seen entire towns flattened, they also have the highest level of advance warning systems in the entire earthquake region of that part of the world. so professor rothery could have been much worse . could have been much worse. >> it could. i mean, i stopped the high speed trains as soon as the high speed trains as soon as the first signs were were detected and so on. and it's only old buildings , i believe, only old buildings, i believe, that collapsed . um, but that have collapsed. um, but things sliding off roofs, as we see again here, you do not want to be in the street when that is coming at you. but yes, the coming down at you. but yes, the japanese know how to behave in earthquakes. the earthquakes. they have the seismic code, which seismic building code, which i believe rigidly believe is pretty rigidly enforced. contrast this enforced. you can contrast this with what happened turkey and with what happened in turkey and syria in february year , an syria in february last year, an earthquake only slightly bigger than this, but actually rather deepen than this, but actually rather deeper. the ground shaking deeper. so the ground shaking should been left , should should have been left, should have a lot more have been less and a lot more people because people died there because buildings poorly buildings had been poorly constructed large . constructed by and large. >> mm. that's right. and typically, um, is it common to get repeat aftershocks or in this area now in terms of the

usual pattern , do you think the usual pattern, do you think the danger has passed ? danger has passed? >> it's inevitable to get aftershocks . it's a progressive aftershocks. it's a progressive progression of series of generally smaller and smaller earthquakes. but cast your mind back, um, to march 2011, when there was a really big earthquake on the other coast of japan. earthquake on the other coast of japan . the tohoku earthquake japan. the tohoku earthquake magnitude nine point something that was preceded by magnitude seven earthquake two days beforehand . we all thought that beforehand. we all thought that was the big earthquake. it was then a series of aftershocks and its nine out its magnitude nine struck out of nowhere . and that was really nowhere. and that was really devastating . that is very devastating. that is very unlikely happen now, but we unlikely to happen now, but we can't rule it out. >> okay. excellent stuff. >> okay. excellent stuff. >> a great analysis and great summing up there. professor of planetary geosciences professor david rothery and a happy new year to you. thanks forjoining year to you. thanks for joining us on the today. now this us on the show today. now this is the time of the year when most of us repeat the same old new year's resolutions that we failed to last year, or failed to stick to last year, or even the year before that. and that's why i don't even bother with whether are

with them. but whether you are intent smoking intent on quitting smoking or kicking off a fitness regime, which is it? why is it such a mission to get these things underway and to stick to them? and why do so many of us struggle get it right? well, struggle to get it right? well, let's find out how we should be doing it right. let's find out how we should be doing it right . prepare doing it right. prepare yourselves for the legend , the yourselves for the legend, the one and only mr motivator , derek one and only mr motivator, derek evans, derek , mate, you've been evans, derek, mate, you've been inspiring me since i was knee high to a grasshopper and you're still going strong . you've got still going strong. you've got whatever it takes, matey . so whatever it takes, matey. so people at home today , they've people at home today, they've had a few sherbets last night. they've been overindulging over the festive period. people feel very hard to take that first step. the first step being the most daunting , hit us with it. most daunting, hit us with it. mr motivator, how are you going to motivate the nation once again ? again? >> mountain , thank you for >> mountain, thank you for having me on. >> you know, it's so funny. >> you know, it's so funny. >> we all get a bit guilty. >> we all get a bit guilty. >> don't on the 1st, >> we all get a bit guilty. >> iwe't on the 1st, >> we all get a bit guilty. >> iwe probably the 1st, >> we all get a bit guilty. >> iwe probably guiltye 1st, >> we all get a bit guilty. >> iwe probably guilty for;t, and we probably feel guilty for quite a weeks afterwards. quite a few weeks afterwards. >> the important thing is >> but the important thing is that changes we make into that any changes we make into our lives need to be consistent,

needs to be regular , right? needs to be regular, right? >> changing just because it's january the 1st does not make that a habit. and for something to actually get embedded in you, you've to give it to you've got to give it time to actually for the change to take place. say for change place. and they say for change to you need to to change place, you need to repeat it at least 21 times. and guess what? by about the 21st of january, most people's new year's resolution has disappeared . and so here's what disappeared. and so here's what we need to do . we need to we need to do. we need to actually say to ourselves, what is goal? because don't is our goal? because don't forget, christmas that forget, it wasn't christmas that got this unfit state. it's got us in this unfit state. it's our lifestyle . and our lifestyle our lifestyle. and our lifestyle is something that we haven't really addressed until we go, i'm getting married or i'm about to go on holiday, or i want to get bikini. need to get in that bikini. we need to change our lifestyle for life, right ? so it becomes a habit . right? so it becomes a habit. >> okay. and what about things such as dry january and veganuary? i mean, the thing that strikes me about them is that strikes me about them is that people seem to take them as like a short turn blast. but as you that doesn't have a

you say, that doesn't have a residual effect of reproach . residual effect of reproach. framing your change. people tend to be for month to be good for a month and then go binge . go on a binge. >> absolutely and you >> absolutely right. and you see, the thing is this right, i think what we've got to recognise gift we recognise the greatest gift we can our family can give ourselves, our family and all our friends is an independent you. that means if you change yourself for the better, if you try and get healthier, fitter, forget about the smoking for a moment. if you just start moving body just start moving your body and movement . the more movement is medicine. the more you right, the more you you do it right, the more you start getting the results and the fitness bank is what all the fitness bank is what we all need deposit into so that need to deposit into so that later when need that later on, when we need that fitness, it's there because as we get older, what happens? most people doing we people are doing this and we need to do this. i'm here need them to do this. i'm here at 71 years of age telling you that as a lifestyle that i've employed , and it's paying employed, and it's paying dividends now , and that's why dividends now, and that's why i've set up an online club, which is totally free for people to to me to join. they need to follow me on things like instagram reel, mr , and that way i can mr motivator, and that way i can give them free advice. forget the gyms , forget the gyms the gyms, forget the gyms because end of the day, because at the end of the day, the difficulty for you is

time when we should be driving our food sovereignty and our food security , um, you know, food security, um, you know, what are we i, i don't think we're even 70% self—sufficient in this country. um, you know, we should be striving to try and get up into the 80s and 90. you know, that's how it should be. >> yeah, well , steve, everybody >> yeah, well, steve, everybody would with that. watching would agree with that. watching the downing the show, including downing street. now we know they watched gb in downing street. gb news in downing street. they'll be watching now. gb news in downing street. they'll new vatching now. gb news in downing street. they'll new vatch to now. gb news in downing street. they'll new vatch to there. happy new year to you there. and downing they're downing street steve. they're going to you. going to be listening to you. these your these towns in their your reformer. how do we get out of this mess. what you like this mess. what would you like to given to the agricultural to see given to the agricultural industry in the uk? downing street is listening . tell him street is listening. tell him right . right. >> quite simple. >> quite simple. >> we are at a crossroads. >> we are at a crossroads. >> okay, look, there's a huge amount around the environment that we as farmers, we work in the environment every day. i am seeing changes to how weather patterns are, things like that. so i understand and there are things happening that we can help , um,

things happening that we can help, um, mitigate. >> okay . but you cannot >> okay. but you cannot sacrifice our food security and confidence on farm because it is at an all time low. >> and i really do not think the political parties realise this , political parties realise this, that you are looking at a mass exodus away from food production and the moment you go and export your responsibility for food, you're sunk, you are in big trouble and it is. >> i lay it in simple terms use us or lose us because there are so many, so many farmers that are going to get out of agriculture. it's incredible . agriculture. it's incredible. >> well, there you go, steve. i mean, it comes to something that the is even making the labour party is even making a play for the agriculture of the farmers vote, because, i mean, course, the tories mean, of course, the tories always they one always thought they had that one sewn are . sewn up. and yet here we are. steve evans, i wish you the very best your best of british with your business. thank you for your work and keeping that milk coming. i've no milk in coming. i've got no milk in my teeth oat milk. there teeth. i've got oat milk. there we let of the bag. it

struck me, um, over the weekend, looking at the analysis , is so looking at the analysis, is so many seem many voters still seem undecided. a lot of people think keir starmer has a personal of a waxworks. do me a lot of people think rishi sunak is very unrelatable because of his privileged background . does that privileged background. does that mean everyone at the moment is thinking this? this is looking like a shoo in for a potential even a style landslide even a blair style landslide could there be a bit more volatility than perhaps we think? >> well, we always know that politics can change and it can change very quickly. >> sometimes. change very quickly. >> sometimes . and we saw that in >> sometimes. and we saw that in the change from theresa may to bofis boris johnson. >> it the other way. >> when boris johnson towards the his time and through the end of his time and through liz when liz truss, and particularly when the parties start campaigning, that's a lot of people who that's when a lot of people who don't about politics a lot don't think about politics a lot suddenly thinking, actually, suddenly are thinking, actually, who do i want to vote for? who do to be in charge? who do i want to vote for? who do and to be in charge? who do i want to vote for? who do and soo be in charge? who do i want to vote for? who do and so whatin charge? who do i want to vote for? who do and so what we'rerge? in >> and so what we're seeing in what we could see is lot of what we could see is a lot of movement comes to those movement when it comes to those polling numbers, when we get closer closer to an election closer and closer to an election . tory strategists . and certainly tory strategists are still hoping there's something they can turn it

around. >> and it's interesting, john, how there doesn't seem to have been bump polls been much of a bump in the polls for he's for rishi, no matter what he's done.i for rishi, no matter what he's done. i think a four done. i think he got a four point bump when he kicked back on net zero by saying he wouldn't get rid of petrol and diesel but diesel cars quite so soon, but it pretty could it seems pretty flat. could there though be a lifeline in there though be a lifeline in the form of a dramatic tax cut? something quite concerned of actually stopping the boats ? actually stopping the boats? could there still be an opportunity, or do you think all of polls are suggesting it's of the polls are suggesting it's looking like a labour election win in 2024? i i think if you're putting money on it and you're going to the bookmakers today, i think be brave, shall we think you'd be brave, shall we say, say there's something say, to say there's something rishi can definitely do, you know, it's always hard, but there's , you know, there's there's, you know, there's always something you can offer to those voters. >> but i think the big problem for the conservatives is , for the conservatives now is, you know, so many are you know, so many people are kind of turned off by the party that even if they do something good for them, um, they might not switch back to voting conservative. >> and , and, you know, we talk

>> and, and, you know, we talk about the things that sunak can do, a lot that do, but there's also a lot that could go wrong. >> we know nhs times >> we know nhs waiting times are forecast until forecast to keep going up until about august, and about august, for example, and that really, you know, if people can't see a doctor or aren't getting the treatment need, getting the treatment they need, there's can there's only so much you can offer elsewhere . offer them elsewhere. >> yeah. and do think that , >> yeah. and do you think that, um, starmer has keep um, starmer just has to keep quiet ? i um, starmer just has to keep quiet? i mean, at the moment he hasn't put real policy out hasn't put any real policy out there. what we see so there. and yet what we see so often, especially on gb news, is conservative voters telling us they don't believe that the conservatives are conservative, they them on things they don't trust them on things like figures like immigration. the figures are off the chart. they don't trust them on on taxation or net zero. but sooner or later the labour party have to give us some policies. yeah, that's absolutely true. >> but if you look at elections where there have been big changes, know, 2009, 2010, changes, you know, 2009, 2010, when looking at the when we were looking at the conservatives coming back in, everyone was saying about david cameron, going to roll cameron, when's he going to roll out policies? out his policies? >> saying the same >> people were saying the same thing you know, really, if >> and you know, really, if you're an opposition party and you're an opposition party and you're opposition party that

you're an opposition party that thinks you're to win , you thinks you're going to win, you want to try and de—risk that as much possible. want to try and de—risk that as much you )ssible. want to try and de—risk that as much you wante. want to try and de—risk that as much you want to stay late >> so you want to stay late because is because the danger you have is if you come up a great if you come up with a great idea, popular idea that's easy idea, a popular idea that's easy to well , the to do and works well, the government do it and they get all the credit. >> and john, a poll out today saying concern of heartland voters are eyeing up kemi badenoch as a potential future leader. of course, if rishi is wiped out in the way many expect , they would surely have to change . what do you change leadership. what do you think suggests about the think it suggests about the state of the nation that people are up? badenoch as are eyeing up? kemi badenoch as are eyeing up? kemi badenoch as a ? a leader? >> i think it's really >> i think it's a really interesting choice . she sort of interesting choice. she sort of came in the last came from nowhere in the last leadership election was very popular the grassroots popular with the grassroots members . popular with the grassroots members. she's someone popular with the grassroots members . she's someone who popular with the grassroots members. she's someone who . you members. she's someone who. you know, i think voice is quite well. a lot of the things that conservatives are frustrated about, , you know, has about, but also, you know, has has a broader appeal than some of the right wing figures . you of the right wing figures. you know, she's popular across the party, and i think it's a real, um, and a really interesting change that potentially we could

have a black woman as leader of the conservative party. while labour have another white man as prime minister potentially. >> now it's only one poll. but you right to say that she you are right to say that she got 38% of the vote versus 41% for suella braverman , who is for suella braverman, who is much more of a kind of right wing meat candidate. but wing red meat candidate. but elections tend to be won in the middle. but but a lot of people are saying that what tory are saying that what the tory party is this forest fire party needs is this forest fire in 2024, it needs a deep , hard in 2024, it needs a deep, hard reset, just like it did over brexit. when boris came in and got the party back on track away from the theresa may years , and from the theresa may years, and voters have very short memories . voters have very short memories. so with a new leader , with a new so with a new leader, with a new direction, the tories never write them off. >> no, absolutely . and, you >> no, absolutely. and, you know, if i'd come on here the day after the election in 2019 and said in five years time we're going to be talking about will labour have a 200 seat majority? >> nobody would have believed you me you like you'd have carted me off and you sent me to a doctor and you know, labour is going to be in a difficult when

be in a difficult position when they be in a difficult position when the there's not a huge amount, >> there's not a huge amount, you there's massive you know, there's not a massive pot of money waiting to be spent. there's massive spent. there's not massive tax cuts . cuts. >> a lot of the problems around immigration are going to be just as them they for immigration are going to be just as sunak. hem they for rishi sunak. >> we could see a lot of >> so we could see a lot of volatility . we've kind of got volatility. we've kind of got used over the last few decades of this idea that a party comes in and they're in charge for 15 years, they run out of years, and then they run out of steam, no reason why steam, but there's no reason why we move to an era of we couldn't move to an era of politics where you see these big swings each election and if you have someone who is leading the leading the conservative party, who is popular, who is fighting laboun who is popular, who is fighting labour, but also is really smart at building an organisation and really laying the groundwork for success, you never know what could happen in 2027, 28 where we're suddenly saying, actually , we're suddenly saying, actually, no, there's going to be a 15% swing back to the conservative party >> superb stuff. john oxley, excellent analysis as ever. we'll get you back on for sure. and a happy new year to you . now and a happy new year to you. now you're listening to you're watching and listening to gb defence gb news. coming up, defence

secretary grant shapps has issued a warning to the houthi rebels in yemen that britain's prepared to take direct . action prepared to take direct. action if attacks on commercial shipping continues. we'll be discussing this next. i'm martin daubney gb news, britain's daubney on gb news, britain's news channel .

with me michael portillo, gb news britain's news channel . news britain's news channel. welcome back. 345 now defence

secretary grant shapps has issued a warning to the houthi rebels in yemen that britain is prepared to take direct action if attacks on commercial shipping continues. the warning comes after the us navy destroyed three small boats attempting to board a container ship in the red sea over the weekend, and i'm joined now in the studio to discuss this situation with our reporter, charlie ali peters. charlie, a significant stepping up of the rhetoric shapps refers to the houthis as terror artists drinking in the last chance saloon. >> yes, well, his forces indeed. and also those involved in operation prosper . pretty operation prosper. pretty guardian that us led maritime coalition have been engaged in disciplined restraint so far. a purely defensive posture as they react to those missiles and drones being fired by the yemen based and iran backed houthi militia rebels. but that could soon change. and this is the first public warning, i think, of a slight change in the posture from that maritime

force. the us has said it will not telegraph its position and its plans . but we do know, of its plans. but we do know, of course, that the us is the significant naval power not only in this region, but of course in the world. so any decisions made by those allies will be us led. so if grant shapps is saying this, it's almost certainly the case that the us is thinking similarly . and you can similarly. and you can understand why, because over the last 100 days, these attacks have ramped up. we have seen three figures. now, in terms of missile and drone strikes from the houthis. and a big concern that that maritime coalition has is the cost for every. that that maritime coalition has is the cost for every . $20,000 is the cost for every. $20,000 drone they destroy, they're using a $2 million missile to knockit using a $2 million missile to knock it down. and as the houthis increase their capability to go from firing specifically at israeli flagged container ships to more broadly, any random vessel tracking through this most important strait , now they're going to get strait, now they're going to get more and more concerned. they're going to spend more money knocking down these drones. we

also have this concern, additional concern that that the tactics and procedures of the houthis could adapt. tactics and procedures of the houthis could adapt . they've houthis could adapt. they've achieved their end state tactically already, which is to disrupt shipping and disrupt the shipping and to and to additional disrupt the shipping and to and to supportingynal disrupt the shipping and to and to supporting israel cost to those supporting israel in that region. but it could get worse. they could do so—called drone swarm manoeuvres where they overwhelm the air defence assets of these destroyers and frigates in the region . an if frigates in the region. an if that were to take place almost certainly we would a shift certainly we would see a shift overnight rhetoric to action. >> and is there a danger as well as the trade route being disrupted? therefore the cost of imports goods going up, which imports of goods going up, which were so painfully used to now after ukraine could though be the wider implications in of britain being dragged into another war, perhaps even iran getting pulled in and retaliating. then charlie could be bedlam in the middle east. rishi sunak has made five pledges on one of them that he's actually been successful , and actually been successful, and it's inflation, it's been cutting inflation, halving by october. it's been cutting inflation, hal'his by october.

it's been cutting inflation, hal'his main october. it's been cutting inflation, hal'his main victory r. it's been cutting inflation, hal'his main victory is now at >> his main victory is now at risk due to a conflict taking place in the middle east, because if that shipping route is blockaded further , where over is blockaded further, where over 12% of the world's supplies , all 12% of the world's supplies, all of them cross some 22,000 transits were made two years ago in this precarious route. then that inflationary pressure will almost certainly rise back in britain . that is a significant britain. that is a significant threat to the uk government and potentially part of the reason why and the ministry of why shapps and the ministry of defence speaking more boldly defence is speaking more boldly about do have about this. we do have a destroyer in the region, hms diamond . it fired its first sea diamond. it fired its first sea to air aerial attack. the first fire in anger for several decades, the first since the first gulf war. there are several other ships that could be potentially transiting to the area, they have to balance area, but they have to balance that, as you say, with that risk of in a direct of engaging in a direct confrontation with iran. that is the issue at hand for these forces, because at a moment's nofice forces, because at a moment's notice , all of those proxies notice, all of those proxies that tehran commands across the region, across the so—called shia crescent from tehran, all

the way through iraq and syria and into beirut in lebanon, they could turn up the ante on this conflict very quickly. and hezbollah lebanon and other hezbollah and lebanon and other forces could bombard israel even further . further. >> okay. superb stuff. charlie peters as our excellent analysis. thank you very much indeed for joining analysis. thank you very much indeed forjoining us. now the indeed for joining us. now the world darts championship continues today as the remaining players for a place in players compete for a place in the semi—finals taking place tomorrow . teenage sensation luke tomorrow. teenage sensation luke littler has returned to the stage a day after his victory over the legend of the game, raymond van barneveld, the dutch player, a few days ago . so with player, a few days ago. so with the sid waddell trophy and half £1 million up for grabs for the winner , things are really winner, things are really heating up on the aukus and we're going now live to the action at ali harbi ali with gb news national reporter theo chikomba theo , this this young chikomba theo, this this young kid, 16, doesn't look at mind, but this young kid ,16, being but this young kid, 16, being called the tiger woods of darts. exciting times ahead and

this is gb news across the uk on tv, in your car , on your digital tv, in your car, on your digital radio and on your smart speaker by saying play gb news. now it's back to . martin back to. martin >> thank you sophia. now a poll by conservative home has suggested that kemi badenoch would be the favourite to succeed rishi sunak as conservative leader, with 38% of respondents naming the business secretary as their preferred minister. meanwhile, much to the fear of over half of tory mps, it is general election year. but speculation about when the prime minister will make the call. could it be may, an early one, october or november , or could october or november, or could even drag all the way through to january 2025? please don't not do that to us. well let's now speak with gb news political correspondent olivia utley. olivia an an astonishing year of

politics ahead in 2024, more than 60 national elections across the world, um, america, china and obviously great britain. let's start with that one. um, let's start with when we think it might land. um, seems to be, um, reports over the weekend suggesting that it won't be may might actually go a bit longer, perhaps just after that key presidential election in america. november looks like the hot money at the moment for a general election in the uk . a general election in the uk. >> well, absolutely . november is >> well, absolutely. november is looking like the hot money because essentially the conservative tvs, it's thought, want to drag it out as long as possible . if mortgage rates , if possible. if mortgage rates, if interest rates continue to go down over the course of this yean down over the course of this year, if they there are 5.25, they've been plateauing now for a few changes. if they start to climb down, then slowly they'll be knock on effects on people's mortgages. the pressure of the

cost of living crisis will begin to , and rishi sunak hopes to ease, and rishi sunak hopes his fortunes will start to pick up. also, of course, we've got the rwanda legislation going through parliament. it's set to be a bumpy road, but. but if it does, uh , if it if it is does, uh, if it if it is implemented at some time, perhaps at the march april, then there is a chance that channel crossings might actually start to go down over the course of the year. all of that in mind, it would make sense, you might think, for rishi sunak to wait it out and call general it out and call a general election october. november election in october. november that said, there's another school of thought that still thinks there an thinks that there will be an election in may. there are those who think that it doesn't make sense for an election in uk sense for an election in the uk to clash with an election in the us, given how much time us, given how much air time american election plans tend to take up . and also we are take up. and also we are expecting a round of local elections in early may. and if the conservatives has a really, really bruising time in those local elections, it will be very bad party morale and there

bad for party morale and there are those feel that an are those who feel that an election months after a hit election four months after a hit in the locals wouldn't for be great the tories. so the jury is out on when that election is going to be. does rishi sunak rip off the plaster and do it quickly, or does he hope that some of his, uh, some of his policies , some of his pledges policies, some of his pledges start to play off over the play out over the course of 2024 and win some voters around. it's anyone's guess at the moment, but i expect we'll be doing a lot more speculating before the day comes . day comes. >> that's right. and olivia, a lot of concern gives even hardcore conservatives , the hardcore conservatives, the optimists, those who are drinking champagne when the 80 seat majority came in in 2019, are now bracing themselves for a withering defeat , a forest fire. withering defeat, a forest fire. talking of which, that brings it on to this new poll, eyeing up the next leader, kemi badenoch, might seem surprising to some people. olivia, why do you think kemi is appealing to the tory heartland right now .

heartland right now. >> well, i think that people are looking for a fresh face. kemi badenoch she is the business secretary so she has been sitting in cabinet for quite a while now, but she is a relatively new mp . she did relatively new mp. she did really well as a sort of insurgent , really well as a sort of insurgent, uh, candidate in the 2022 leadership election. and she's achieved over the last few months the seemingly impossible of uniting the tory right and the tory left or moderates. she's managed to, uh, get herself, uh, huge acclaim from the right of the party for the stance that she's taken on trans rights and on women's rights. she was the driver force behind the stoppage of the gender recognition act in scotland, which was going to allow people in scotland to change their gender without any sort of form of formal recognition . and she's of formal recognition. and she's also been speaking up about self identification in schools . there identification in schools. there are lots and lots of mums i've spoken to tory activist mums who think that kemi badenoch is

exactly who the party needs right . meanwhile, moderates right now. meanwhile, moderates like well because she's like her as well because she's taken quite a cautious approach to brexit. she was a brexiteer herself , but to brexit. she was a brexiteer herself, but as business secretary she's been talking to business leaders. she's been gauging the temperature and she's slightly slowed down the timeline of, uh, the, the, uh, firebomb of brexit legislation . firebomb of brexit legislation. the plan was to kick out 4000m of eu legislation before the end of eu legislation before the end of 2023. kemi badenoch decided not to go with that plan . she not to go with that plan. she she took the temperature, she spoke to business leaders and she's doing things a little bit more gained her more slowly. that has gained her plaudits with the the plaudits with the left of the party. so she's popular with mps. she's popular with the heartlands, and this poll shows that she well, well ahead of that she is well, well ahead of her rivals. she's got 38% of the tory membership vote in this conservative home poll. next in line is suella braverman with 24. so she is head and shoulders above the rest. could she be the

next tory leader come a general election? well that's the big question. >> olivia utley excellent as even >> olivia utley excellent as ever. and there were some astonishing data in the sunday times yesterday saying a third of voters in the north east, the east midlands, the west midlands and the south west brexit land a third of voters and their choice of the next prime minister they don't know, a third don't know who'd be the best eight. um, so a third are choosing starmer and the rest, um sunak. a third are choosing starmer and the rest, um sunak . but a third the rest, um sunak. but a third don't know. so there's still plenty to play for in this general election. of course, we'll bring you all of the best analysis throughout the new year here on gb news now, for many of us, the turn of the year is a chance for a fresh start with an estimated 66% of us setting new year's resolutions for 2024, according to research. health and money topped the areas brits are best looking to improve. well, our west midlands reporter jack carson has been finding out more . as the fireworks light up,

more. as the fireworks light up, 2024, two thirds of brits will be setting a new year's resolution. >> history . >> history. >> history. >> britons believe it was the ancient babylonians who were the first people to make new year's resolutions 4000 years ago, making promises to the gods to pay making promises to the gods to pay their debts and return any objects they'd borrowed . objects they'd borrowed. >> today, research suggests . 35% >> today, research suggests. 35% of us will be focusing on our health. 29% on our money, and 26% on family and the ultimate fitness gym in birmingham. owner simon fan says january always comes with a membership boost, so normally january is a very probably the busiest month for all gym um owners. >> obviously , the new year's >> obviously, the new year's resolution is a big thing. you've got a lot of people . we you've got a lot of people. we probably get an extra 20 to 30, uh, influx of new members signing up for january uh, influx of new members signing up forjanuary. uh, influx of new members signing up forjanuary . mainly signing up forjanuary. mainly people overindulge over christmas and people want to lose a few pounds. get into shape for obviously some holidays. they've got a wedding, a photo shoot, or they've got competitions, mainly people

competitions, but mainly people who've probably ate too much over the festive period out on the streets of the city centre . the streets of the city centre. >> what resolutions are people setting themselves this year to get fit and yeah, just to focus on improving my financial literacy and yeah, just spending time with friends and family. >> well, this is my first, uh , >> well, this is my first, uh, week in the uk. >> well, this is my first, uh, week in the uk . so, uh, my new week in the uk. so, uh, my new year's resolution would be, uh, to start working. well uh, fix those problems that i have with myself. and just, uh, get off properly here in birmingham. >> so my new year's resolution, i think it's kind of the same last one, but in a better way this year, because i need to go back to the gym. >> my diet, and also mental healthy. >> it's got to be friendship . >> it's got to be friendship. >> it's got to be friendship. >> you know, the plan is to try and make 365 new friends and best friends . best friends. >> that's the plan. you're going to be the first one before we finish this interview. we exchange numbers you'll be

exchange numbers and you'll be the first friend. >> the resolution in >> whatever the resolution in the new year provides us the chance head on chance to tackle them head on and start 2024 with a battle jack carson gb news birmingham . jack carson gb news birmingham. right now . right now. >> do you know i've never broken a new year's resolution because i've never made one. now an update dark story we've update on the dark story we've been you this been bringing you this afternoon, 16 year old luke littler has won his quarterfinal clash in the world darts championships against brendan dolan and will progress to the semis. a huge achievement for the young lad, 16 year old sensation luke littler. good lad, littler followed up his victory against the legendary rayman van barneveld with a51 win at ali harbi ali. he will play win at ali harbi ali. he will play former champion rob cross in the last four for tomorrow. wow, what a long way he's come so yes, 2024 is here and that means one thing new year's resolution and guilt trips . resolution and guilt trips. whilst this could include a range of promises to yourself,

the focus is often on improving our health. and from giving up the booze to hitting the gym, dieting and improving our general well—being . well, why do general well—being. well, why do we start the new year with all these rules and why, when do , these rules and why, when we do, can we never stick them ? and can we never stick to them? and are they even any good for us? well, joining me now to discuss this is a director of a spa and wellness centre, penny weston. penny looking the picture of health there on this new year's day a lot of people, penny , day a lot of people, penny, including myself, might have overindulged in the old pork pie. i might have overindulged on the old sherbets last night, feeling a bit low and feeling a bit blue today . penny, what's bit blue today. penny, what's the best way to take that first step towards a new you ? step towards a new you? >> i think that, like you've said yourself, a lot of people just don't take the opportunity to have that new year motivation and seize that positivity and make resolutions anymore. >> because the feeling when you don't achieve those goals is

really demotivating . and we've really demotivating. and we've got enough to be de—motivate aboutin got enough to be de—motivate about in january, you know, there's the long nights we've just had a fantastic time over christmas , um, indulged not christmas, um, indulged not perhaps thought about our health as much as we should have done so. it's s really understand why people don't set the resolutions . but i'm actually a big fan of seizing the almost like that new, refreshed, brand new start attitude and making some resolutions, but they just have to be realistic. and i think that's the biggest reason why people fall. and i think it's most people fall before the end of january, and that's it. it's given up for the rest of the yean given up for the rest of the year, you know, and i hear people say next year i'll do better. um and it's because the goal , whether it's lose weight goal, whether it's lose weight or , or start to exercise or eat or, or start to exercise or eat better, it's just to general to big and we really have to it's

our wellness centre. we talk to people about being a little bit more specific , so that they are more specific, so that they are much more achievable. >> so penny, i think you've hit the nail on the head. um, if you i the top of a mountain, it's a daunting journey, but those little base camps, those little steps, that's the way to head. so what's a good first step? i saw a great report last week about a woman who really got into walking. she learned to walk properly for the first time in life. she said it made in her life. she said it made her feel healthier, better , more her feel healthier, better, more alert much more positive alert to so much more positive about . anybody can walk. about herself. anybody can walk. there's . there's no there's no cost. there's no barrier to that. what kind of things would you recommend just to ? things would you recommend just to um, ? things would you recommend just to um, think ? things would you recommend just to um, think walking is a >> um, i think walking is a fantastic one. it's the fresh air as well. it's the movement. it's potentially meeting people, getting out in nature. think getting out in nature. i think that's fantastic . and it doesn't that's fantastic. and it doesn't have straight away . 10,000 have to be straight away. 10,000 steps a day . it can be have to be straight away. 10,000 steps a day. it can be i'm going to walk every sunday and then once that's set is a habit, you can then expand on it from

there. i think reading is a really good one as well, because the just sitting still and focusing is something that in this day and age we just don't do anymore. we don't sit still for very often. our attention spans are terrible. so i think reading so that we can switch our brains off and slow down is an excellent suggestion . and i an excellent suggestion. and i know that a lot of people are thinking about dry january and veganuary, and it's the problem is some of these are very extreme and, um, you know, all or nothing type things. but there are still benefits for doing those sorts of things. and there's a lot of guidance online to help people with that. but i would recommend having like a meat free monday if you weren't sure about going the whole way of doing the entire month of january. that's more realistic . january. that's more realistic. stick. um, it means you can experiment with different foods , experiment with different foods, more plant based things, different flavours. um, but reading, walking and

potentially, um, learning a new skill, maybe signing up for a class just as long as it's not too much in the month of january, the research shows that you're so much more likely to sustain it over the longer time, which is what we what people want really, is to sustain and to sustain it. superb >> penny weston, a director of a spa and wellness centre. thank you so much . even i can do that. you so much. even i can do that. get fit by reading. get, get fit by taking some time to chill out and sit down. i think that's key though. you know, getting well isn't all about sticking on some lycra and charging into gym , lycra and charging into a gym, which costs load money and which costs a load of money and a bit overwhelming sometimes just some time out just about taking some time out for to chat to a for yourself to chat to a neighbour, do a bit garden , neighbour, do a bit of garden, go for a little stroll. you don't have to turn to the marathon motivator marathon man or mr motivator overnight and whatever you do, it . it's top it all counts. it's all top banana. it all counts. it's all top banana . now you're watching and banana. now you're watching and listening to gb news coming up. are you doing dry january? i'm not. or about veganuary that not. or how about veganuary that nehhen not. or how about veganuary that neither. we'll be discussing whether it is time to go vegan.

what think ? this and much what do you think? this and much more bring you between now more to bring you between now and 6 pm. i'm martin daubney on new day on gb news, new year's day on gb news, britain's news

sensation for the past few years where people take up eating a vegan diet for the entirety of january , and this was dedicated january, and this was dedicated to changing public attitudes of veganism and to encourage people to make the transition often. but are we posing the question, is veganism really the healthiest option for 2024? well joining me now to discuss this

is animal rising spokesperson orin cooley. green has . happy orin cooley. green has. happy new year to you. orin. you join us. so, um, i'm assuming animal rising aren't carnivals. i'm assuming you are fans of vegan . assuming you are fans of vegan. for those who are watching in gb news land, why do you think it's a good idea to go meat free for the month of january ? the month of january? >> yeah, well , the month of january? >> yeah, well, happy new year, martin, and thank you for having me . um, yeah. so obviously we me. um, yeah. so obviously we are we are a fan of a little bit of vegan here and there. animal rising. uh, essentially, think rising. uh, essentially, i think that the amazing thing that really the amazing thing about veganuary in particular is that i was watching this, uh, your segment earlier and everyone was talking about the kind of energy you get in new year's and i think veganuary is such great opportunity such a great opportunity to really that and do really harness that and do something which is good for your your is good your own health, which is good for which for the planet and which is good for the planet and which is good for as well . for that animals as well. >> oh, and there was a report out there's so out today because there's so many different many reports say different things. out things. there's a report out today in the telegraph saying that meat extends your

that eating meat extends your life because there are a lot of vitamins that you can't get from a vegan diet b12, d3 , um, a vegan diet b12, d3, um, creatine, dha , which is from creatine, dha, which is from oily fish. so so, um, if you kind of go cold turkey, that's the wrong phrase , you know what the wrong phrase, you know what i mean? if you suddenly go full vegan, um, from a carnivore , vegan, um, from a carnivore, you've got to be a bit careful, right ? right? >> well, certainly. yeah, it's definitely important that people and veganuary has resources on this, but it's definitely important that you look into, you know, where you're getting yourthe, the health benefits or like the, the health benefits or kind of the healthiness of veganism and a plant based diet in i think it's been in general. i think it's been shown in more broadly the shown in more broadly by the scientific literature and also by, you know, experiences of different that, um , you different cultures that, um, you can get all of the nutrients you need a plant based diet. um need on a plant based diet. um for example, like the british dietetic association, the american association american dietetic association and the nhs , um, all show that and the nhs, um, all show that you can get these necessary nutrients and it's suitable for all life. all stages of life. >> now, there's an old >> now, oren, there's an old joke, and that is, how do you

know somebody a and know if somebody is a vegan and that they tell you within two that is they tell you within two minutes meeting them, because minutes of meeting them, because vegans, are very . how vegans, of course, are very. how do we put um they're very do we put it? um they're very passionate about about their lifestyle choice. do you think people would be more inclined to join in the movement if it was more of a part time thing? we had a previous guest a moment ago saying, do a meat free monday, try a bit, dabble that way without being sort of meat shamed or hectored because we see a lot of negative tactics from the vegan movement, which actually are counterintuitive , actually are counterintuitive, as we saw with just stop oil . as we saw with just stop oil. >> yeah . so i think that the >> yeah. so i think that the point that you're bringing up there of this kind of, um , there of this kind of, um, forcefulness, i think it is important that you know, people feel kind of comfortable, comfortable , and they feel, um , comfortable, and they feel, um, yeah, they don't feel like they're being shamed for things. i shaming is i don't think shaming people is a good that's a is a good idea. that's definitely what i do. it's definitely not what i do. it's definitely not what i do. it's definitely not what try definitely not what we try and do animal rising. but

do at animal rising. um, but i do at animal rising. um, but i do think that we do have to be honest with ourselves here, martin, particularly for martin, that particularly for the angle, we are the climate angle, like we are in crisis . um, in a climate crisis. yes. um, and will take and obviously people will take their time individually make their time individually to make their time individually to make the to, um, but the steps they need to, um, but we have the opportunity to we don't have the opportunity to be much . be dragging our feet too much. >> um, okay. um, do you think then, that if we suddenly stopped eating meat, that climate change would just disappear ? no disappear? no >> um. if only imagine that would be great, right? no. but i think what we see, um, from the science , is that, for example, science, is that, for example, there's a study , a meta there's a study, a meta analysis, and by the university of oxford, um, a couple of years ago, which showed that we can reduce the amount of land we're using for animal agriculture by 76% if we switch to a plant based food system, kind of globally. and if you just think about that amount of land that's globally. and if you just think aborthe|at amount of land that's globally. and if you just think aborthe usamount of land that's globally. and if you just think aborthe us ,nount of land that's globally. and if you just think aborthe us , china,of land that's globally. and if you just think aborthe us , china, and nd that's globally. and if you just think aborthe us , china, and nythink's like the us, china, and i think europe and australia combined in terms land mass. europe and australia combined in terms land mass . and if we terms of land mass. and if we rewild land, you know , rewild this land, you know, return nature, we can return it to nature, we can actually down co2. um, and actually draw down co2. um, and that gives us such a huge opportunity. you know, we've got

you about kind of carbon you talk about kind of carbon capture schemes things, capture schemes and things, but this one of 0g, if this is like one of the 0g, if you will, original oil. um, you will, the original oil. um, so it's a great so it's a it's a great opportunity . opportunity. >> is animal rising. opportunity. >> is animal rising . were >> and is it animal rising. were you the mob that, that um , you the mob that, that um, stormed the epsom derby and tried to stop the race going ahead ? was that was that you ahead? was that was that you guys ? guys? >> that was us. yeah. >> that was us. yeah. >> and do you think that kind of tactic, ? mentioned tactic, um, helps? i mentioned just and a lot just stop oil before and a lot of those kind of intrusive attention seeking tactic works. do you think they work or do they turn people against your cause ? cause? >> yeah. so i think the more those disruptions there are disruptive tactics and i think that i completely understand why some people, you know, feel like they're put off and they feel like they're not, um, as effective. but i do think there's a space for there's definitely a space for those , obviously those tactics, obviously just it's they're done it's important that they're done at the right place and at the right because obviously, right time. because obviously, you in past you know, we've seen in past realistic this is a bit of social change, right, about changing the way we talk and act as and past social

as a society. and past social movements such as the civil rights movement have used these types of tactics very effectively know, have effectively to, you know, have this uptake. and how many this rapid uptake. and how many people this or people are aware about this or about important issues . about these important issues. and so i think necessary to and so i think it's necessary to disrupt obviously disrupt sometimes, but obviously it done with care. and it has to be done with care. and fairness to everyone. >> okay . well superb stuff. >> okay. well superb stuff. i wish you a happy new year. oren koolie green spokesperson for animal rising in an articulate, persuasive i like vegans. i just persuasive i like vegans. ijust couldn't eat a whole one. now coming up , couldn't eat a whole one. now coming up, we've got couldn't eat a whole one. now coming up , we've got lots couldn't eat a whole one. now coming up, we've got lots more still to come between now and 4:00. it's the election year , of 4:00. it's the election year, of course. just bad could it course. just how bad could it get for rishi? and will it be held november, will put held in november, or will he put people of their misery and people out of their misery and go for an early may election and of course, there will also be an election in america, a huge , election in america, a huge, huge election, huge . even a wide huge election, huge. even a wide ranging discussion on all of those things to come. but first, here's your latest news headunes here's your latest news headlines with sophia wenzler.

margaret thatcher, great friend of the show, nigel gardiner. live from washington, dc, first of all, nigel, a very, very happy new year to you and thank you for joining on happy new year to you and thank you forjoining on the show. you for joining us on the show. once again. can we first start with the uk when the end comes, either may or november? it looks like the end is coming. if you believe the polls for the conservative party kemi badenoch, a frontrunner in a poll this side of the pond. nigel this morning of course, former aide to margaret thatcher. many people wistfully look back for the spirit of thatcherism and the rebirth and the regrowth, the re—emergence of the tory party after the next general election. do you think kemi is the right choice , or are kemi is the right choice, or are we looking for somebody out there yet emerge as the new there yet to emerge as the new bright flame of the tories ? bright flame of the tories? >> well, martin, many thanks for having me on the show today. happy new year to you. um, and as you point out, of course, uh, an incredibly, uh, tough year

ahead for the for the conservative is most likely i think we're going to see a general election in november. i think may is too soon really for the conservatives to go to the polls, considering the very low polls, considering the very low poll ratings for the conservative party at the moment. um, there is definitely a possibility, i think, of a leadership challenge to rishi sunak. uh ahead of the of the general election. there is talk among conservative mps of a possible, uh , uh, vote of no possible, uh, uh, vote of no confidence in sunak. so we'll have to see what what happens. but certainly in terms of the key candidates, i expect it would be a battle between , uh, would be a battle between, uh, kemi badenoch. uh, so braverman, uh, penny mordaunt . i think uh, penny mordaunt. i think those are the three big guns i would expect in any leadership contest this year. ahead of the, uh, of the general election within the conservative party. but post election , if the but post election, if the conservative party loses, i think you'll see a far wider range of candidates standing,

including a potentially a priti patel, the former home secretary, who i think is a very popular figure among the grassroots of the conservative party. uh, but but without a doubt, i think that if britain heads towards a, a labour government, uh, the consequences could be very, very dire, i think for, for the uk especially on the brexit front. uh, and labour could be potentially i think a catastrophic i think for the uk on, on multiple fronts from immigration to the economy to, to brexit. so so it would be a huge leap into the dark i think for, for britain if, if they a socialist they opt for uh, for a socialist government headed by keir starmer and now meanwhile on your side of the pond in washington , um, fighting talk washington, um, fighting talk with bells on from donald trump, who said he'd like to be a dictator later for a day, laying out a comprehensive range of ideas, gutting the civil service he said it's become overly politicised and new hires would

have to pass a vetting process and what was really interesting about this, nigel, is that this side of the pond most conservative media outlets totally agree with those sort of ideas. >> they feel the civil service has become anti conservative stops. the big ideas getting done. stops. the big ideas getting done . but what do you think is done. but what do you think is going to happen in america from in terms of that conservative voice? trump is blaring all guns coming out and it seems to be landing quite well . landing quite well. >> yeah i think , you know, the >> yeah i think, you know, the political outlook in america is very different to that in the uk. i the uk, the outlook uk. i think the uk, the outlook is, very grim. uh, for is, is very, very grim. uh, for the conservative gives in contrast in, in the united states i think the, the outlook for the, the republicans for the conservatives in essence is far more positive and i expect that we will see a conservative revolution taking place in the united states in the coming years following this us

presidential election . in presidential election. in november, the american people are deeply unhappy. i think, with the biden presidency , uh, with the biden presidency, uh, president biden is one of the most unpopular , uh, us most unpopular, uh, us presidents of the modern era. uh, he has overseen, uh, what is in effect , a uh, he has overseen, uh, what is in effect, a huge invasion by illegal migrants into the united states over 8 million illegal migrants have crossed the us border under the biden presidency . this border under the biden presidency. this is a huge crisis . there presidency. this is a huge crisis. there is tremendous unhappiness among the american people state the people with the state of the economy , with soaring levels of economy, with soaring levels of crime . um, there's also a economy, with soaring levels of crime. um, there's also a big reaction among most americans to the far left cultural agenda. the woke agenda that is being pushed forward by the biden presidency. and i do think the american people really have had enough of, uh, the left wing, uh, approach taken by, by joe biden and there's a real sense of decline , uh, in the united of decline, uh, in the united states. and one only has to look at the big cities run by the democrats from new to democrats from new york to chicago philadelphia to

chicago to philadelphia to washington, which now the washington, dc, which is now the carjacking capital of the united states to see the decline in wherever the left is in is in control. and so the american people want to see a confident united states on the world stage, a united states that can lead the free world and a united states that has secure borders, a strong economy, low levels of crime , and a united states that crime, and a united states that is not dominated by woke far left ideology and so on. so many fronts. i think the american people want to see change. and i do believe we're going to see another revolution another conservative revolution happenin another conservative revolution happen in the states , uh, happen in the united states, uh, towards the end of this year. okay >> now, gardner. excellent analysis as ever, former aide to margaret thatcher, of course, and foreign policy analyst. thank you for joining and foreign policy analyst. thank you forjoining us on the thank you for joining us on the show. neil, lot people show. and neil, a lot of people in britain will be here. we'll be you be listening to what you said and on a similar and wishing on a similar conservative revolution on this side the pond. happy new year side of the pond. happy new year to you once again . thank you. to you once again. thank you. now watching and now you're watching and

listening news. coming listening to gb news. coming up, defence grant shapps defence secretary grant shapps has warning to the has issued a warning to the houthi rebels in yemen that britain is prepared take britain is prepared to take direct action if attacks on commercial shipping continues. we're discussing this and the potential consequences for the region. next, i'm martin daubney on gb news on new year's day, britain's news channel

sunday mornings from 930 on gb news .

news. >> welcome back. it's 445. you're watching and listening to martin daubney on gb news on new years day, bringing you all of the latest until 6:00 now. defence secretary grant shapps has issued a warning to the houthi rebels in yemen that britain is prepared to take direct action if attacks on commercial shipping continues. the warning comes after the us navy destroyed three small boats attempting to board a container ship in the red sea over the weekend . and joining us now to weekend. and joining us now to discuss this in the studio . this discuss this in the studio. this escalating is our escalating situation is our reporter, charlie peters . reporter, charlie peters. charlie, a significant ramping up of the rhetoric from grant shapps saying that the houthi terrorists are drinking in the last chance saloon. >> yes. and this is a shift not only in rhetoric but also potentially in posture , because potentially in posture, because britain is part of that us led operation prosperity guardian maritime force inside the red sea, seeking to defend those key shipping lanes, 22,000 transit routes were made through that

area past the strait of hormuz and, of course, up the suez canal. and, of course, up the suez canal . in and, of course, up the suez canal. in 2022, and, of course, up the suez canal . in 2022, 12% of the canal. in 2022, 12% of the world's cargo goes through this area. so it's an absolutely key area, especially amid global inflation concerns, particularly important, of course , for us in important, of course, for us in britain, which is one of rishi sunak key pleasures . britain, which is one of rishi sunak key pleasures. but britain, which is one of rishi sunak key pleasures . but the sunak key pleasures. but the threats to that shipping has re—emerged in the last month or so , with the houthis stepping up so, with the houthis stepping up their attacks on commercial shipping beyond random drone and missile attacks into targeted and also some interceptions with small boats and personnel, with the us destroying three boats on sunday day. now, if the uk is saying it, it's possibly the case that the us is doing it because what will that actually mean? should we go further to deter this houthi action? as grant shapps is saying in the telegraph this morning, grant shapps is saying in the telegraph this morning , that telegraph this morning, that will almost certainly mean strikes on houthi missile launch sites within yemen. now inside yemen, the houthis, this rebel

militia , they've had de facto militia, they've had de facto control of the country for the last eight years, fighting in a civil war which is currently endunng civil war which is currently enduring a tenuous ceasefire with the internationally recognised government. but they have expanded their capabilities, usually firing within the country, occasionally launching strikes on saudi arabia and also the uae, but instead now launching into the red sea , taking on some of the red sea, taking on some of the most powerful navies in the world and the us invited some 20 nafions world and the us invited some 20 nations to join that maritime coalition when not britain is being the chief force there, along with the french . so if along with the french. so if this now turns from a defensive posture into an offensive one, those strikes will be significant because it could not only engage with more tensions with iran, but could lead to an even stronger response from those houthi rebels. >> and that's the danger. if iran start wading in. we saw in the 70s with the opec crisis , the 70s with the opec crisis, this is the key route for the exportation of oil to the uk. there could be an escalation of

pnces there could be an escalation of prices there, as we saw with ukraine, and also a huge amount of consumer goods coming through that shipping canal there. so higher prices for britain. but charlie, the bigger worry is could this flare into an escalated, broader military conflict in the middle east involving britain? >> well, many analysts are saying that whatever britain does that is seeing as more likely an option than any other, because if you keep playing in a defensive position , eventually defensive position, eventually your opposition is going to score a goal. the houthis keep ratcheting up their attacks, their tactics and procedures are changing . they are being bolder, changing. they are being bolder, as you said, especially in the last month. at some point, british or american service personnel could be put at even more risk. now, alternatively , more risk. now, alternatively, they could be seeking to deter they could be seeking to deter the strikes by going on the offensive hitting those missile launch sites. but there is a competing school of thought, and i chris doyle, i spoke to chris doyle, director of council for arab—british of the council for arab—british understanding this morning, who said the only said to me that the only credible to reducing

credible response to reducing these tensions with iran is a lasting ceasefire in gaza . now, lasting ceasefire in gaza. now, the maritime organising nations seeking to, you know, deter . seeking to, you know, deter. these attacks and free up those shipping lanes are trying to make a distinction between israel's war in gaza and their keenness to defend shipping lanes. keenness to defend shipping lanes . that's how they get more lanes. that's how they get more international support , because, international support, because, of course, war rages on, of course, as this war rages on, more and more countries are expressing concern about civilian casualties in gaza. they want to protect shipping and fight against iranian proxies who are involved in that war. without supporting israel, maintaining that distinction is a very delicate political manoeuvre, and so far , to be manoeuvre, and so far, to be frank, it's not working. okay >> superb analysis as ever. charlie peters, thank you for joining studio . now joining us in the studio. now moving on, secretary james moving on, home secretary james cleverly has said that the new restrictions on student visas will come into force today to end the unreasonable practice of overseas students bringing their families to the uk. and about time too, you might say, and the ban affects all students, but

those enrolling on postgraduate courses and those with government funded scholarships, james cleverly hopes the ban will cut migration by tens of thousands. will cut migration by tens of thousands . and haven't we heard thousands. and haven't we heard that before ? well, joining me that before? well, joining me now to discuss the visa clampdown is the executive director of migration watch, mike jones. mike, thanks for joining us on the show and a very happy new year to you, too. um, let's hope we have a happier new year. and finally getting a handle on legal migration , which handle on legal migration, which of course, this is designed to do . this legislation kicks in as do. this legislation kicks in as of today. no more dependents , of today. no more dependents, but for a small amount of students. and they're hoping to cut back as many as 140,000 fewer people coming to the uk each year. the big question is, mike, will this work ? mike, will this work? >> well, potentially yes. um there's lots of low hanging fruit there . fruit there. >> i mean, when i graduated in 2005, uh, there were around

200,000 student visas issued today. that's just shy of 650,000 and more than 100,000 of those people are student dependents . um, these changes dependents. um, these changes have come into place since brexit. historically, the largest international student cohort were chinese students for less than 1% of those students, they brought with them dependents . but since then, dependents. but since then, we've seen large increases from nigeria and india. you know, 23% of indian nationals and 54% of nigerian nationals on student visas are dependents . and that's visas are dependents. and that's completely unsustainable because those obviously dependents are mostly economically inactive and a net drain on the british taxpayer . taxpayer. >> uh, and, mike, how much of an issue is this that you think warrants some kind of inquiry or severe probe? because it's been an open secret for years now that people are paying £9,000 tuition fee, often then drop out

of their course, they're staying in the country. and if they do graduate , mike, two thirds of graduate, mike, two thirds of people now are remaining in the country after finishing their studies, compared to like 20% only a few years ago . so there's only a few years ago. so there's no denying mike, that being an overseas student is a cheap and efficient and fast way of getting into the uk . they getting into the uk. they >> yeah, absolutely. um one of the promises that the government made to the british public was to take back control of the immigration system, but what they've actually done is they've outsourced it to the higher education sector , you know, education sector, you know, which is like putting count dracula in charge of blood dracula in charge of the blood transfusion . you know, transfusion service. you know, universities want universities will obviously want large numbers of students studying at their institutions. but the government made but the government have made this they've this this easy. they've established a graduate visa route, which which allows um post graduates to stay in this country for two years with very few strings attached. and obviously there are no restrictions on student

dependents. and where you have a decrease in european students and a large spike from from india and sub—saharan africa . india and sub—saharan africa. you know, obviously you're going to have more spouses and children accompanying these people. and as you say , it's people. and as you say, it's a back door into low and semi—skilled work, which is not good for the british national interest . interest. >> and mike, um, briefly , if we >> and mike, um, briefly, if we could action finally. but the big question is will it be enough or is it too little, too late ? late? >> um, it will make a difference . but, uh, you know, this is last chance saloon for the government , but ultimately, they government, but ultimately, they need a cap on work visas. they need a cap on work visas. they need a cap on work visas. they need a cap on student visas . um, need a cap on student visas. um, and they need to bring the number of people coming into the country and people leaving into balance, you know, balance, migration . ian, uh, we would migration. ian, uh, we would need much more radical action for it to make a substantial difference . difference. >> okay. superb stuff. director of migration watch mike jones, thanks for joining us

aftershocks and indeed even another tsunami ? another tsunami? >> uh, not yet. not yet definitely. this is a very massive situation in japan because , uh, we are having one because, uh, we are having one of the largest earthquakes and tsunamis in japan after the 2011. you know, that in 2011, we had a massive tsunami which killed more than 20,000 japanese people. and this time we have the tsunami at the other side of japan in the sea of japan, which is an enclosed like a closed basin and a place that tsunami is trapped, actually. and the tsunami is going to be oscillating like in the next 24 hours, in the next 48 hours. and definitely, uh, the answer is no . the danger is still there . and . the danger is still there. and it's very important that japanese , uh, local residents japanese, uh, local residents must stay away from the coastal area at least half a day , uh, up area at least half a day, uh, up to 24 hours. >> and mohammed , we're seeing >> and mohammed, we're seeing pictures on screen there of produce falling off supermarket shelves , snow coming off roof.

shelves, snow coming off roof. there are some buildings razed. we believe , some older buildings we believe, some older buildings andisnt we believe, some older buildings and isn't that the point? mohammed because of the very high level of technical building in japan , in great skill in the in japan, in great skill in the level of the quality of the build and also the prepare . build and also the prepare. widnes, one of the world's most advanced earthquake and tsunami warning systems . this could have warning systems. this could have been much worse . been much worse. >> yeah , definitely. japan is >> yeah, definitely. japan is very much prepared, especially after the 2011 i was there, uh, myself , uh, after the 2011 i was there, uh, myself, uh, during the after the 2011 i was there, uh, myself , uh, during the 2011 myself, uh, during the 2011 japan's tsunami and after. and i saw that they are , uh, investing saw that they are, uh, investing , uh, spending a lot of money on renewing the buildings, helping the society to, um, uh , to be the society to, um, uh, to be more prepared. they have a very fantastic tsunami warning system . but the challenge is that still , there are many, uh, still, there are many, uh, unsafe buildings , especially in unsafe buildings, especially in the rural areas that side of japan at the west side of japan . japan at the west side of japan. and still, it's a challenge for the japan government to, uh , to

the japan government to, uh, to support this local people to renew and improve the quality of their buildings and how much, um , time and effort and money is spent onto these early warning systems we've seen previously see huge destruction , huge damage. >> we obviously cannot ever tame nature, but we can forewarn ourselves . ourselves. >> yeah, definitely. i mean, we have the most sophisticated tsunami warning system in japan, especially . and the japan especially. and the japan government invested 200, did, uh, very high tech um, equipment , uh, sensors of, uh , offshore , uh, sensors of, uh, offshore japan. but but still the problem is that the tsunami , uh, lead is that the tsunami, uh, lead time is very , very short. it's time is very, very short. it's only it's only like ten minutes. only five minutes. only 20 minutes until we have the waves . minutes until we have the waves. and the challenge is that for these type of near field tsunamis, uh, most tsunami warning systems are not very much helpful . remember? i mean, much helpful. remember? i mean, in 2018, we had two tsunamis in in 2018, we had two tsunamis in in tunisia, and both of them ,

in tunisia, and both of them, uh, combined, they killed more than 4000 people. uh, 4500 people. and we had actually tsunami warning system in indonesia. the challenge is the time. we don't have really time from the earthquake until tsunami coming to the coast. and that's very important that the local people, if you feel if you feel the shaking, you have to evacuate. there is no time to think. there is no time to wait. there no just evacuate. and i there is no just evacuate. and i think heard that message think i heard that message actually from the japan actually today from the japan government that they encouraged everyone just evacuate. don't look . look. look back. look. >> superb. so thanks forjoining >> superb. so thanks for joining us with that expert analysis . us with that expert analysis. um, secretary general of iugg joint tsunami commission, doctor mohammed head azad, thank you very much for joining mohammed head azad, thank you very much forjoining us on gb news. and a happy new year to you. now people aged 90 or above were the driving licence have doubled in the past ten years, sparking call for mandatory sparking a call for mandatory eye tests boost road safety. eye tests to boost road safety. a record 153,000 britons in that age group held a full licence in

november , rising from just november, rising from just 77,000. in november 2013. well, i can now speak with tiff needell racing driver and tv presenter and neil gregg, director of the policy and research at iam roadsmart . let's research at iam roadsmart. let's start with you, tiff. and one of the things that i know from personal experience is that having a car in your old age is a huge part of your dependence, your ability to be self—sufficient . we are getting self—sufficient. we are getting older as a population. of course, safety is paramount, but do you welcome mandatory eye tests or are they an intrusion too far ? too far? >> absolutely. well in fact, it should be much younger age. >> it really should be. you get your eye test for free when you're a pensioner and so won't cost you any but good eyesight. it's absolutely crucial you get stopped by the police, maybe for speeding or your number plates dirty, or your rear lights not working. >> you know they have a quick conversation or quickly say, have you drinking ? and, you

have you been drinking? and, you know, take know, will you take a breathalyser ? and quite rightly breathalyser? and quite rightly so. it's great, you know, so. and it's great, you know, check driving . check out for drunken driving. but has anyone ever been asked when stopped? uh, here's eye when stopped? uh, here's an eye test chart. can you can you read that, because it's just as that, sir? because it's just as important as we get older, you know, so many of our older friends will start saying, well, i don't like driving in the dark anymore. >> i want to get home before it's dark because they've got cataracts caused cataracts and cataracts caused the lights badly . the lights to flare badly. >> um, you know, as a racing driver , you know, we're looking driver, you know, we're looking sort 2 or 300 yards ahead sort of 2 or 300 yards ahead when doing 150 miles an when you're doing 150 miles an hour your corner point. so hour to your corner point. so eyesight is absolutely critical for seeing what's well ahead of you and racing drivers. we actually look further ahead than the average road driver. so which you do on which is what you should do on the road well. which is what you should do on the we're well. which is what you should do on the we're looking for those. >> we're looking for all those. >> we're looking for all those. >> doing your the >> when you're doing your the test before you do your driving test before you do your driving test have point at test you have to point at hazards, and you need hazards, don't you? and you need as best eyesight as you can to avoid accidents these days. and, um, i'd bring it down 64. um, so i'd bring it down 64. >> and you get your pension, >> and if you get your pension, your your

your next licence after your pension, it goes with the pension, it's it goes with the application. okay >> we can all agree, neil, um, that that's great on paper. but of course, the barriers of course, one of the barriers to that if to self—present for an eye test, a lot of people are fearful of the fact that if they volunteer for a test, they'll lose their license and all the dependents with that. dependents that goes with that. so how do we legislate for this, neil? how do we bring this this safe driving practice into actual legal practice ? actual legal practice? >> very carefully . we have to be >> very carefully. we have to be careful here because not everyone is the same. we've had 96 year olds pass the advanced driving test, and that's a 90 minute test. in addition to the normal test that you may have sat when you were so you sat when you were 17. so you know, is different. know, everybody is different. but said that, if but having said that, if you look statistics , they're look at the statistics, they're very above you start very clear above 85. you start to see more collisions involving older drivers, more at fault of the driver collisions , more the driver collisions, more collisions involving eyesight as as we've mentioned already. so yes , the eyesight test is the yes, the eyesight test is the first step. and certainly for 70 year olds, that's something that

could be brought in quite easily . you just need to match up the databases eyesight databases between eyesight testing and the dvla, and that can be done not necessarily very easily because the dvla were very old fashioned system . um, very old fashioned system. um, but can done. what we what but it can be done. what we what we need look at again is what we need to look at again is what happens after 85 and and happens after 85 and 90. and then we maybe need to start looking something else, looking at something else, perhaps of quick perhaps some form of, of quick assessment , some sort of perhaps some form of, of quick assessment, some sort of medical report , that extra medical report, that extra medical report. these things can all be done. they're done in done. and they're done in different different done. and they're done in differaround different done. and they're done in differaround world.fferent done. and they're done in differaround world. but nt done. and they're done in differaround world. but you ways around the world. but you know, eight years ago i was involved in an older driver task force that reported to the government and came up with this very about eyesight very idea about eyesight testing. the government had done nothing it. and every nothing about it. and every year we more and more older we get more and more older drivers along. so we do drivers coming along. so we do need looking at the system need to be looking at the system very . need to be looking at the system venand . need to be looking at the system venand would go stage >> and tiff, would you go stage further? perhaps there have been calls years calls over the years for a compulsory of a driving compulsory reset of a driving test. when you get to a certain age, or is that a bit harsh? because we we pick up because we all know we pick up bad habits over years and bad habits over the years and surely most people fail .

surely most people would fail. >> i'd be terrified. >> i'd be terrified. >> i'd be terrified. >> i mean , i'm 72 now, so i'm >> i mean, i'm 72 now, so i'm into eyesight tests. i've just had my new racing license and for my racing license i have to have an eye test. >> on the form. >> it just goes on the form. >> it just goes on the form. >> get the license >> you won't get the license unless are but, uh. >> doing doing another >> yeah. doing doing another test. i'm not so sure. >> yeah. doing doing another test! i'm not so sure. >> yeah. doing doing another test! thinkot so sure. >> yeah. doing doing another test! think youy sure. >> yeah. doing doing another test! think you need. have done >> i think you need to have done something that. >> honestly . >> honestly. >> honestly. >> and what reckon, neil? >> and what do you reckon, neil? do think test step do you think the test is a step too far? i mean, i'm only 53, but i reckon i'd fail my test if i to do it again, simply i had to do it again, simply because just forgotten most because i've just forgotten most of it. >> e- e“ @-— >> well, i think it would have to be different of test. to be a different kind of test. it needs to pick out the things that from, that older drivers suffer from, such slow reactions looking such as slow reactions looking over and slip over their shoulders and slip roads. have difficulty roads. they have difficulty deaung roads. they have difficulty dealing with high speed roundabouts. can actually roundabouts. you can actually pick out locations where pick out the locations where older drivers problems, older drivers have problems, so it wouldn't necessarily be the same 17 same test. you would give a 17 year because certainly year old because certainly they've got a lot of experience and is what keeps and experience is what keeps today's 70 year olds as as today's 70 year olds as safe as most middle aged drivers. it's, as i say , it's those 85 plus as i say, it's those 85 plus people we need to be looking at.

and when you start to read statistics like 1 in 3 of us are going to get dementia , then you statistics like 1 in 3 of us are goisee 0 get dementia , then you statistics like 1 in 3 of us are goisee thist dementia , then you statistics like 1 in 3 of us are goisee this self—report, then you statistics like 1 in 3 of us are goisee this self—report system ou do see this self—report system we have just isn't really good enough to deal with the growing numbers their very, numbers of people in their very, very . we're still trying very old age. we're still trying to drive . to drive. >> okay. excellent stuff gentlemen. you very much gentlemen. thank you very much for the show . tiff forjoining us on the show. tiff needell gregg, thank needell and neil gregg, thank you very much. happy year you very much. happy new year and driving out there. you and safe driving out there. you take care lads . okay. you're take care lads. okay. you're watching and listening to gb news up , a watching and listening to gb news up, a liberal news coming up, a liberal democrat finds a quarter of democrat poll finds a quarter of 18 to 34 year olds are forced to play 18 to 34 year olds are forced to play diy doctors because they can't get seen by a professional. can the nhs truly ever recover from this rock bottom? i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel

only on gb news the people's channel only on gb news the people's channel, britain's news channel . channel, britain's news channel. >> welcome back. it's 528. you're watching or listening to martin daubney on gb news on new year's day. now the liberal democrats have claimed almost a quarter of britain's tried and failed to see their gp face to face in 2023. some 23% could not get an appointment in the local area, while 3 in 10 gave up booking one altogether. for many turned to diy medical help or went to the a&e department instead, with 1 in 7 treating themselves or asking somebody else to do it for them . well, else to do it for them. well, joining me now is gp doctor

laurence gerlis. thanks for joining us and happy new year to you, sir. joining us and happy new year to you, sin a lot of people will empathise with this kind of thing in entirely. most of us extremely frustrated trying to get through to a gp, trying to get through to a gp, trying to get a face to face appointment given an online booking or given a phone call, um, or even giving up entirely . up entirely. >> yeah, the system doesn't work. >> martin and i can can partly blame the gps. i actually blame the politicians and the public. i blame the public for accepting this ridiculous system whereby gps are paid £160 a year to look after you, and you can go there 20 times the system worked when the average consultation rate was three per year, which it used to be 15 years ago. now the average person consults their gp nine times a year , so the system nine times a year, so the system is broken. no wonder. >> and that the whole point of having a queue, the whole point of not being able to get a

doctor's appointment is that some people drop off the end of the don't bother. >> it's the ultimate rationing process . if you make people wait process. if you make people wait long enough , they'll give up or long enough, they'll give up or die get better. die or get better. >> so the system is broken. in general practice, it's not much better in hospital. >> bear in mind general practice only takes a small percentage of the health service budget about 10. does a huge volume of 10. but does a huge volume of work , whereas the hospitals and work, whereas the hospitals and the hospital doctors who are on strike, um , take the majority of strike, um, take the majority of the budget and they're not functioning much more efficiently either. >> and lawrence, a lot of people will think this is a knock on effect . that and inevitable effect. that and inevitable knock on effect of lockdowns . we knock on effect of lockdowns. we were told to stay home, protect the nhs and we of course brewed up massive backlogs in preventable diseases and people got into out of the habit of seeing a gp and then suddenly a huge amount of people coming back to the market, as it were, swamping the system. how much do you think lockdowns have a hold

on this ? on this? >> a great deal, martin. >> a great deal, martin. >> i'm, i was anti—lockdown, i signed the great barrington declaration and it wasn't just lockdown . bear in mind other lockdown. bear in mind other countries had lockdowns , but the countries had lockdowns, but the hospitals didn't become covid only hospitals . so the hospitals only hospitals. so the hospitals gave up treating anything other than covid. a lot of gp's and i know they many of them deny this. they did close their doors. i'm registered with the nhs, gp and i had loads of texts saying don't come in, don't come in and see us, um, at all for anything . so i've got first hand anything. so i've got first hand experience. a gp's did not want to see people and as you say, there is now there are now excess deaths running at the rate of about 500 to 1000 per week from heart disease, cancers. and so on. and the heart disease, by the way , is in heart disease, by the way, is in your age group. it's not my age group. it's your age group. martin we're we're seeing an excess cardiac deaths now. what's that all about? and partly due to lockdown, partly
