. they're being exploited dying. they're being exploited by gangs and that's why by criminal gangs and that's why we've got to resolve this issue. there's reasons why and there's lots of reasons why and we should talk about them, but one of is that innocent one of them is that innocent people being exploited people are being exploited by criminal not criminal gangs. that's not right. nothing right. there's nothing compassionate and in compassionate about it. and in fact, compassionate thing to fact, the compassionate thing to do is to tackle illegal migration. and what migration. and that's what our rwanda i've been rwanda scheme will do. i've been prime minister for a year, just oven prime minister for a year, just over. and in that time we've actually reduced the number of people coming here by over a third. that hasn't happened before. one else has managed before. no one else has managed to achieve that. well in westminster tonight, the conservatives campaign director isaac levido , is currently isaac levido, is currently addressing a special election meeting of the 1922 committee. >> they convened about 45 minutes ago and that meeting ongoing. it's a gathering of backbench conservative mps coming amid the latest polling that suggests the party is facing an election wipe out. a major new poll by yougov predicted the conservative would retain just 169 seats, and

the united states for . farage the united states for. farage >> well good evening. yeah i'm live from iowa. i have to say, when we arrived on sunday morning, the temperature was, what, about 20 to 30 below with wind chill on top of that. so it has been viciously cold and yet completely undeterred. you've got candid chats standing who want to be the republican candidate for president , going candidate for president, going around holding meetings, holding events , big packed crowds. and events, big packed crowds. and at 7:00 tonight, over 1500 caucuses will take place all across the state of iowa . across the state of iowa. democracy is alive and well here. and it all feels so much more exciting , so much more more exciting, so much more engaging than anything that happensin engaging than anything that happens in our electoral process. now yesterday i went to an event that president trump

was doing, and somehow he spotted me in the crowd . spotted me in the crowd. >> we can also do is that nigel farage, by the way.7 oh, >> we can also do is that nigel farage, by the way? oh, you stand up, will you? i'm just looking looking at this handsome , this handsome guy. he's been a backer of mine from day one, i think, called brexit very non—controversial . and you've non—controversial. and you've been right. they haven't implemented too well. but you've been right. no, we're big fans. thank you. i just really an honour to have you here. great you look great. i love these suits. know, know how suits. you know, they know how to over there. we don't to dress over there. we don't know dress like they do. know how to dress like they do. thank great honour. man thank you. great honour. man nikki haley even supported . nikki haley even supported. >> that was donald trump >> well, that was donald trump being very complimentary about me, but i guess he's right. i have supported him ever since 2016. i've never wavered in that. and i do believe he made the world much place as the world a much safer place as president. now he is hot favourite to win this caucus at 7 pm. this evening. he's hot favourite to be the republican republican candidate in november

and looking at american polls , and looking at american polls, he's now leading in nearly all of the key swing states. but before we get to iowa , rishi before we get to iowa, rishi sunak today, giving a statement to the commons, making it clear he will not hesitate to act against huti targets. and this is predominantly the brits and the americans attacking houthi bases. and this comes on the day that another missile has struck a us owned vessel off the coast of yemen. the situation is pretty serious. i'm joined down the line by rear admiral chris parry. chris you know, okay, we launch a couple of strikes against houthi targets, but it's worth reminding people that the saudis have been attacking huti targets for years . and this is targets for years. and this is not going to be a straightforward, easy win, is it ? >> 7- >> no, 7— >> no, there's ? >> no, there's no easy win in war nowadays , nigel. we've seen war nowadays, nigel. we've seen the democracy ization of violence and quite a lot of the

technology that goes with warfare. it's not the preserve of states anymore. and what you've got here is a terrorist group that's got access to the sort of technology, as you expect states to deploy . well, expect states to deploy. well, that's no surprise because they're being supplied by two states, china and iran . and it states, china and iran. and it is a problem . however, i think is a problem. however, i think you'll find the other night that the houthis could quite a hit from the united states. and from ourselves. probably took out ourselves. we probably took out about a quarter of their capability . about a quarter of their capability. um, and to tell you the truth, the number of strikes produced , they've been produced, they've been singleton's haven't been singleton's they haven't been multiple strikes like we've seen . we've shown them our power and frankly, what we're saying to them is, you know, that's what frankly, what we're saying to the can;, you know, that's what frankly, what we're saying to the can do. u know, that's what frankly, what we're saying to the can do. if know, that's what frankly, what we're saying to the can do. if you v, that's what frankly, what we're saying to the can do. if you wantt's what frankly, what we're saying to the can do. if you want more at frankly, what we're saying to the can do. if you want more of we can do. if you want more of that, just carry on. >> i had a question, chris, for you. um, are nato allies france , you. um, are nato allies france, um, have once again decided to take a very different approach to us. they will not get they will not involve themselves on these strikes against the houthis at all. i ask you, are the french really military

allies of ours ? allies of ours? >> french? when it's in their interests, are allies of us. you know, obviously within nato, they're pretty strong. and if we were attacked by what we call a pacing power or or something like that in russia or china, then they'd be in there straight away. there's no question . uh, away. there's no question. uh, they obviously have different interests i think what is interests to us. i think what is more remarkable, um , nigel, is more remarkable, um, nigel, is how feeble our other european allies have been . uh, i mean, allies have been. uh, i mean, there's a reason for that . i there's a reason for that. i don't think there's another european country that's got the capability to sit in in the front line right now . and at the front line right now. and at the weekend, i was bemoaning the fact that most of our european allies fight and won't allies can't fight and won't fight . um, so allies can't fight and won't fight. um, so it's only allies can't fight and won't fight . um, so it's only really fight. um, so it's only really the brits ourselves and the french that can be there. the french that can be there. the french are there. to be fair, they've got a fairly high priced frigate that can shoot frigate there that can shoot these down. but know these things down. but you know what? rest of our european what? the rest of our european allies the allies haven't invested in the sort of technology we need to deal this. that's why deal with this. that's why they're not it's just they're not there. it's not just a their political

a question of their political interests . interests. >> no. and it raises the question, of course, about our levels of capability. doesn't it, chris? i mean, you know, here are getting involved in here we are getting involved in this with royal navy that this with a royal navy that becomes physically weaker and weaker less manpower. weaker and with less manpower. >> yeah. you and i have discussed before, nigel, you know, the sea is the physical equivalent of the world wide web. and if we don't invest in our power , then we're not our sea power, then we're not going to be involved in globalisation. and this at globalisation. and this is at a time the likes of russia, time when the likes of russia, china and iran trying to china and iran are trying to close down the world ocean, particularly points close down the world ocean, partiarearly points close down the world ocean, partiare vital points close down the world ocean, partiare vital to points close down the world ocean, partiare vital to us. points close down the world ocean, partiare vital to us. i points close down the world ocean, partiare vital to us. i think:s that are vital to us. i think the government to tell you the truth, i think the country is starting to get the message and that sea blindness that we've seen in the past is starting to evaporate. you know, we're really sort of really good at this sort of thing. our sailors have done thing. and our sailors have done really in tracking the us really well in tracking the us in but the united states in this. but the united states can't do all on its own. and can't do it all on its own. and if up the number of if you tot up the number of warships, for example, we've got in free world, there's in the free world, there's nearly a thousand of them. we need to actually consolidate and

coordinate efforts to make coordinate our efforts to make sure that these totalitarian powers like russia, china, iran and north korea don't get their way at sea. in particular. yeah >> and talking of iran, chris, you know, i wonder, are we really entering a proxy war with iran? is there a danger of serious escalation in the region ? >> 7. >>i 7- >> i don't ? >> i don't think 7 >> i don't think iran is ready for to take on either. the united states or the united kingdom or anybody. right now. they're going to continue to operate through their proxies. the houthis, hamas, hezbollah, and recently, i think south and most recently, i think south africa to tell you the truth, south africa is engaged in this sort of lawfare, uh, against israel that they're trying to extend it now to the united kingdom, the united states, and we've got to accept that we are in a proxy war already. we've got to accept that we are in a proxy war already . we're in in a proxy war already. we're in a low level confrontation with russia, china , iran and north russia, china, iran and north korea. their strategic hinckley competing with us in practically every area we're going to see

more and more of these proxy actions, more encounter actions with, uh, between our armed forces . and as long as the dots forces. and as long as the dots don't get joined up, we won't end up in a world war. but i'll tell you what, nigel. it looks a lot like the tail end of the 19305. at the moment, the free world is having to confront fascism and communism again in reality. and i'm afraid to say some of the rhetoric, some of the character of today's sort of environment replicates what happenedin environment replicates what happened in the late 19305. >> worryingly , i think you're >> worryingly, i think you're right, chris parry. but thank you, as ever, for joining right, chris parry. but thank you, as ever, forjoining me on the program. well some sobering words from the rear admiral there. now i'm joined by james johnson, co—founder of jr partners. uh james, just to begin quickly and we'll talk about the uk polling in a minute. and some of the rows we've seen in the last couple of days, just quickly, iowa looks like trump's a long way ahead. yeah. >> trump is pretty far ahead in

the polls. desantis and haley fighting for second place. the number to look out for tonight is if gets is trump's support. if he gets below 40, people will start questioning his grip on the race. they'll start talking about haley and desantis potentially being able to at potentially being able to nip at his heels later primary his heels in later primary contest. if he gets 50. i contest. if he gets over 50. i think a lot of people are going to saying it's game to be saying tonight it's game oven to be saying tonight it's game over. we may as well all pack up and home and, you know, get and go home and, you know, get fast the convention. fast forward to the convention. so those are the that's the number watch and 50. number to watch 40 and 50. >> the two big numbers watch. >> the two big numbers to watch. now earth is going on in now what on earth is going on in the poll out that the uk. a poll out that suggesting that the tories go back of 97 style back to a sort of 97 style wipe—out, but then some of our conservative supporting newspapers suggesting this is all and if all because of reform and if reform weren't it could reform weren't there, it could be hung parliament. but that's be a hung parliament. but that's just nonsense, isn't it? well, i mean, the reason voters are mean, the reason that voters are going because going to reform is because they're angry with the conservative party. >> wasn't there, >> so if reform wasn't there, i think they'd either go somewhere else wouldn't so else or they wouldn't vote. so the problem with the the problem is with the conservative not any conservative party, not with any sort new party or sort of new, new party or challenge from labour or lib challenge from labour or the lib

dems the labour voters dems on the labour side, voters are for labour despite are going for labour despite keir starmer than because are going for labour despite ke him. rmer than because are going for labour despite ke him. they than because are going for labour despite ke him. they still than because are going for labour despite ke him. they still worry| because are going for labour despite ke him. they still worry abouthe of him. they still worry about him think he's strong him and don't think he's strong enough. is the enough. so the issue is the conservative party and it's two things in particular. one is their to immigration. their approach to immigration. um, not feel um, the voters do not feel they've on small they've got a grip on small boats. do not feel they've boats. they do not feel they've got a grip on immigration got a grip on legal immigration ehhen got a grip on legal immigration either. and either. frankly there are. and the bill doesn't look set to address those concerns. and secondly, sunak secondly, is rishi sunak style himself. in 2024, they're himself. voters in 2024, they're looking strong person. looking for a strong person. that's why trump's doing well here in iowa. yeah, they're looking for someone who can get things done. in his plain speaking and they don't view the pm did focus groups pm as that. i did focus groups last and people described last week and people described the weak and the pm as limp, weak and spineless. he doesn't turn spineless. if he doesn't turn that then he's to that around, then he's going to be heading a very be heading towards a very difficult result. like like the one that poll. yeah i guess one in that poll. yeah i guess what seen, i guess the what we've seen, i guess the reform element is the tory reform element is it's the tory supporting newspapers, is trying to blame somewhere else. >> g- $- 5 say, it's people >> but as you say, it's people are unhappy with the conservatives. what, conservatives. what what, uh what you think? i what impact do you think? i guessi what impact do you think? i guess i know, but george galloway has announced he's

entering the race for london mayor. i just wonder about this . mayor. i just wonder about this. whether it's jeremy corbyn, whether it's george galloway , whether it's george galloway, whether it's george galloway, whether they merge together , if whether they merge together, if they were to fight a significant number of seats at the next general election and indeed against sadiq khan, could they be hurt from the left? labour. >> well, i think if we were sat here a year ago, i'd be saying, oh, not really sure, not oh, i'm not really sure, not really. but big thing has really. but a big thing has changed and that is the october 7th in israel. and the, 7th attacks in israel. and the, you conflict and you know, ongoing conflict and that quite frankly, that has quite frankly, radicalised a lot of people on the are very angry with the left who are very angry with keir response. and keir starmers response. and obviously, sadiq khan has sort of flip flopped little bit on of flip flopped a little bit on it well. so i do think that it as well. so i do think that leaves opening george leaves an opening for george galloway, those galloway, especially in those seats muslim seats with a high muslim majority, but a high majority, but also a high percentage students well, majority, but also a high percioftenz students well, majority, but also a high percioften havetudents well, majority, but also a high percioften have morets well, majority, but also a high percioften have more anti—israel who often have more anti—israel views than than muslims in british. in britain today. views than than muslims in british. in britain today . um, british. in britain today. um, and so i think that's possible. jeremy corbyn obviously has a constituency too, so i would expect that to some votes constituency too, so i would expec' off. at to some votes constituency too, so i would expec'off. sadiq some votes constituency too, so i would expec'off. sadiq khanne votes constituency too, so i would expec'off. sadiq khan and otes come off. sadiq khan and remember , this round for remember, this time round for the first time, the london

mayoral race is first past the post. whoever gets the most mayoral race is first past the post. winsever gets the most mayoral race is first past the post. wins and gets the most mayoral race is first past the post. wins and thatthe most mayoral race is first past the post. wins and that makesst mayoral race is first past the post. wins and that makes it votes wins and that makes it harder sadiq khan because he harder for sadiq khan because he usually dems and usually relies on lib dems and the greens second preferences. he going them this time. >> no he isn't. you're right. although it does seem the conservative candidate susan hall, no impact whatsoever. >> no, she's she's not doing particularly basically particularly well. basically voters who she is . voters don't know who she is. um, and that is that is difficult conservatives difficult for the conservatives to, cut through. to, to try and cut through. look, people will pay attention a bit more as time comes, a little bit more as time comes, but clearly she's not the strongest candidate the tories but clearly she's not the stronghaveandidate the tories but clearly she's not the stronghave chosen; the tories but clearly she's not the stronghave chosen either. iries could have chosen either. >> it doesn't seem does >> it doesn't seem so, does it? no. as ever. no. james johnson as ever. fascinating. see what fascinating. and we'll see what happens numbers happens tonight. so the numbers the numbers james is saying to us, than 40% us, if trump gets less than 40% of the primary vote questions will be asked if he gets more than it is pretty much game than 50, it is pretty much game oven than 50, it is pretty much game over. the circus will over. and whilst the circus will move on to new hampshire for the next primary, will be pretty next primary, it will be pretty much done. now, one of the candidates who's making a lot of noise there and attracting noise out there and attracting more support than anybody more youth support than anybody else in the republican party is vivek ramaswamy and i went at

8:00 this morning to watch him holding his first rally of the day. in a moment, we'll look at vivek and what he stands for.

listening to gb news news. radio. >> so regular viewers of this program will have noted that i've met and interviewed vivek ramaswamy a few times before. he's the 38 year old entrepreneur , made a lot of entrepreneur, made a lot of money, done very well in life, and seems to me to represent something of the future of the conservative movement here in america. i make no bones about it. i am very , very impressed by it. i am very, very impressed by him. he may run in some of the debates, have tried just a little bit too hard to make noise. i guess he is the new kid on the block, but boy is he fighting hard and trying hard in this primary there are 99

counties that make up iowa, and he and ron desantis will have done events in all, 99 of them. the sheer amount of time and money these candidates are spending on getting these votes tonight at 7:00 is quite extraordinary. so this morning, just outside this main city of des moines , we went out at 8:00 des moines, we went out at 8:00 this morning and saw vivek doing his first meeting of the day . his first meeting of the day. and i was pretty impressed. take a look at this through the 15th. it is caucus day here in iowa , it is caucus day here in iowa, and our day began at 8:00 this morning. we're in a restaurant in urbandale, which is a small town outside of des moines. and this was vivek ramaswamy. his first event of the day. i got to tell you, this room was absolutely packed with people, lots and lots of media here as well. what was interesting was the ages. a lot of young people supporting vivek ramaswamy. now, if believe the polls, he's if you believe the polls, he's lying or fourth. he thinks if you believe the polls, he's lyinggoing or fourth. he thinks if you believe the polls, he's lyinggoing to fourth. he thinks if you believe the polls, he's lyinggoing to come. he thinks if you believe the polls, he's lyinggoing to come inie thinks if you believe the polls, he's lyinggoing to come inie thi a;s he's going to come in with a much stronger performance

tonight. just might. tonight. i sense he just might. and way, you know trump's and either way, you know trump's going win here in iowa. but going to win here in iowa. but how ramaswami does think how ramaswami does i think is very important for the future of the republican party . this guy the republican party. this guy is 38 full of bags of energy . is 38 full of bags of energy. but i'll tell you something. coming from the uk, where our democracy feels almost beyond our fingertips, where it feels our fingertips, where it feels our vote doesn't really matter to come the engagement, to come and see the engagement, the involvement of people and we'll see it again at 7:00 tonight when they turn up to actually vote in the caucuses. there's something really refreshing and impressive about the the americans do this , the way the americans do this, and i believe it is going to take somebody now more than ever with fresh legs from the outside to reach and lead the new generation of americans to revive that missing national pride in this country where we have been taught to celebrate our diverse city and our differences. >> so much that we forgot all of the ways that we are really the same as americans. bound by that common set of ideals that set this country into motion. i

think the polls are wrong . think the polls are wrong. >> interesting. all candidates say that and think that, but we're going to find out later on this evening. and a little bit of argument with trump over of an argument with trump over the last few days, i think it would call it less of an argument and maybe a one way sense frustration, but sense of frustration, but i can't speak his can't speak for what his campaign advisers had. >> say is donald >> and what i'll say is donald trump is an excellent president. i've said that every step. i've said that at every step. i respect the man. i love the man because he got this fight started, now it's our to job started, but now it's our to job finish you know what? finish it. and you know what? there america first there are two america first candidates this race. that's candidates in this race. that's donald myself. i donald trump and myself. but i have and i'm able to have fresh legs and i'm able to reach the next generation. and i'm i'm worried for i'm worried. i'm worried for trump. for this trump. i'm worried for this country, this system will country, that this system will not let this man get anywhere near white and near the white house again. and i've everything can to i've done everything i can to push these push back against these disastrous and disastrous prosecutions and prosecutions i prosecutions against him. i filed brief with filed an amicus brief with the supreme week, argue supreme court last week, argue for why they needed to overturn colorado's disastrous decision. for why they needed to overturn colocalled disastrous decision. for why they needed to overturn colocalled onastrous decision. for why they needed to overturn colocalled on every; decision. for why they needed to overturn colocalled on every other;ion. i've called on every other republican themselves republican to remove themselves from gop primary ballot from any gop primary ballot where but at a where he's named, but at a certain point, we owe it to this

country to what's happening. country to see what's happening. the wants to narrow this the system wants to narrow this down to a two horse race between donald trump and a puppet who they can control. they want to take trump out in the spring or early and trot their early summer and trot their puppet into the white house. the puppet into the white house. the puppet name. it's name is puppet has a name. it's name is nikki haley. think that nikki haley. and i think that that's actually the trick that's actually sight. actually hiding in plain sight. and our movement, and i worry that our movement, including the america first movement, is walking straight into i believe am the into it. i believe i am the future of america first to lead this the generation. and future of america first to lead thismythe generation. and future of america first to lead thismythe and generation. and future of america first to lead thismythe and dutyration. and future of america first to lead thismythe and duty to ion. and future of america first to lead thismythe and duty to this and it's my job and duty to this country to do and so country to do it. and so sometimes i'll say, sometimes the truth hurts. well of the truth hurts. well a lot of a lot passion there. lot of passion there. >> vivek, how many more events today? even counted. >> i mean, countless packed all the way through iowa caucus, the way through the iowa caucus, at five more. plus, i'm at least five more. plus, i'm going speaking at one of going to be speaking at one of the sites tonight, which the caucus sites tonight, which makes according normal makes that according to normal day standards, light for us. >> us. >> very good. thank you for joining gb news. well joining us on gb news. well done. what do you see what i mean? you know, the guy does have a huge amount of energy and passion. with him, passion. you can agree with him, disagree him, he's

disagree with him, but he's somebody in the long tum in american politics i believe american politics that i believe cannot be ignored. basically american politics that i believe cannon 3e ignored. basically american politics that i believe cannon thejnored. basically american politics that i believe cannon the same. basically american politics that i believe cannon the same ticket basically american politics that i believe cannon the same ticket in sically american politics that i believe cannon the same ticket in terms he's on the same ticket in terms of policy as donald he's of policy as donald trump. he's part maga that make part of that maga that make america great again. uh, side . america great again. uh, side. and you can, you know, hear speaking to him that they see nikki haley as being the globalist and the devil . but globalist and the devil. but polls suggest that haley has been picking up support here in iowa over the course of the last couple of weeks. and that kind of is the left right divide that exists within the republican party in the usa. it's just that i think the whole trump faction is several times bigger than the haley faction . but we're going haley faction. but we're going to find everything out at 7:00 tonight. but i repeat the point. it is such an exciting thing to be part of this caucus process to see the energy, the enthusiasm of all the people that are turning up and wanting to take part in this. it really is impressive. and our voting system and our all, well, we'll vote for this lot because the other lot seem worse. seems pretty miserable , frankly. pretty miserable, frankly. pretty dire by comparison. now a

couple of what the farage moments. it's that man again, gary lineker. he never, ever stops, does he? because when the palestinian campaign for the academic and cultural boycott of israel and that would include israel and that would include israel being excluded from all world sports when that gets put out on twitter or x, as it's now known . what does gary lineker do known. what does gary lineker do 7 known. what does gary lineker do ? but he actually retweets it now since that moment, he has deleted that. but time and again we see this game going on, this game going on where gary lineker funded and paid for by the bbc, is able to ride roughshod over all of the rules of the bbc and it's almost as if somehow lineker is bigger and stronger and more powerful than anybody within the bbc. it is a complete and utter mickey. take the other. what the farage moment

big piece by boris johnson. other. what the farage moment big piece by borisjohnson. he's big piece by boris johnson. he's now writing for the mail. he did a big piece for them on saturday and in it he was condemning keir starmer . he and in it he was condemning keir starmer. he was condemning ed davey and this time, no, nothing to do with the post office . but to do with the post office. but the fact that they had voted against our closer military action and support of saudi arabia and boris goes on to say, the houthis had it coming. well, yes , that's true, but the one yes, that's true, but the one thing everybody has forgotten in this, including boris johnson, is that it was the obama administration supported by the european union and had absolutely supported by boris johnson when he was foreign secretary. they were all the ones who were for the so—called iran nuclear deal. ones who were for the so—called iran nuclear deal . and that deal iran nuclear deal. and that deal was if we're nice to the iranians , if we open up tens of

iranians, if we open up tens of billions of dollars of access to dollars, billions of dollars for iran, that somehow that's going to mean that they won't continue with their program of uranium enrichment and building their own nuclear bomb. and what actually has happened here is iran is continuing apace and is now very close to having its own nuclear bomb . and all these tens nuclear bomb. and all these tens of billions of dollars that we freed up for them. stuff that had previously been frozen or much of that has been used to fund hamas. his ebola and the houthis . so, boris, you can houthis. so, boris, you can write your columns, you can condemn keir starmer and everybody else. but the fact is you, along with the other global leaders, got iran completely and utterly wrong . and i have to utterly wrong. and i have to say, one man who got this right all the way through was donald j. trump. and of that there can be absolute no doubt what so even be absolute no doubt what so ever. now in a moment, we'll

talk rwanda , it would seem, as talk rwanda, it would seem, as the bill comes back to the house of commons tomorrow, it will seem the conservative party is deeply and seriously split on this issue . but i wonder what this issue. but i wonder what ever shape this legislation goes through. is it actually going to get through our own supreme court anyway? i doubt it

>> that shows us you're listening to gb news radio . listening to gb news radio. >> well, one of the reasons the conservatives are doing so badly in the polls is, of course , the in the polls is, of course, the boats crossing the english channel and their seeming total failure to deal with it at all. ever since rwanda was first promised it, we've spent hundreds of millions of pounds. we've not sent a single person there. we've had problems with there. we've had problems with the european court of human rights in strasbourg, and we've

got a conservative party that is in incredibly split. and yet i wonder with this vote tomorrow night and with these competing wings in the conservative party and, you know , some tory mps and, you know, some tory mps think should be sending think we should be sending everyone that crosses the engush everyone that crosses the english channel to rwanda. some don't think we should be sending any at all. but i wonder, i wonder, whatever shape this legislation goes through, whether actually it's going to get through the british courts. i'm joined down the line by immigration lawyer ivan sampson . immigration lawyer ivan sampson. ian. um, ivan, this is a highly contentious issue within the conservative party. do we have anyidea conservative party. do we have any idea at the moment with amendments that are being put down, what shape this bill is going to take over the next few days? yes i yeah, i think we have an idea of what the what the government's proposed because i feel sorry for rishi sunak because he's caught between a rock and a hard place,

because although the legislation says declaring rwanda to be safe and you'll remember back in december, the supreme court didn't accept assurances both by the government and by the uk government and rwanda government that it was safe . that it was safe. >> they wouldn't accept that and they didn't accept that. those being sent to rwanda would not face being sent back to a country where they may face persecution. so what the governments have to do is say, well, okay, we'll declare it safe, give it a statutory footing and declare it safe by an act of parliament. now, what's going to happen when it gets back to the court? will the courts accept that? that's the first problem. the other problem is, is that they may declare it safe. generally but you can't possibly declare it safe if there are exceptional circumstances of individuals. and that's the issue. that's the government's in loggerhead with the with the tory rights, because each individual can make a claim, can actually resist being deported because his or

her exceptional circumstances , her exceptional circumstances, compelling circumstances. i'll give you an example. you can say, well, i've got a mental health issue. so i can't be sent back to rwanda now, the government has raised the evidential burden so high they require , uh, evidence by way of require, uh, evidence by way of a doctor's report, medical report. um, now , the government report. um, now, the government in the bill have also said they've got a caveat that a minister can overrule any interim injunctions by the by strasbourg. and you remember before the flights took off last time , um, strasbourg issued an time, um, strasbourg issued an injunction stopping them on human rights grounds. yeah. so although the minister can overrule the interim injunctions, they have to have a good reason for doing that. and if there's compelling evidence to say these people shouldn't be sent, then you can have judicial review applications of that decision. so we're going to go round around, i'm afraid. round and around, i'm afraid. and back to court. and and back to the court. and ultimately the supreme court will its say when that will will have its say when that will happen. doubt it. it will be

happen. i doubt it. it will be before the next general election in. >> right. so basically what you're saying in terms of time frame, they're not going to get this through before the next election. so it's a huge internal row within the conservative party. it's conservative party. but it's actually have no effect actually going to have no effect in your opinion. >> yeah. it's not going to work because it's not compatible with the individual's right resist the individual's right to resist deportation on exceptional , deportation on exceptional, compelling grounds on human rights grounds. so no, you can't possibly have law which has possibly have a law which has a blanket rule saying everyone has to sent back. look, i'm in to get sent back. look, i'm in dubaiand to get sent back. look, i'm in dubai and in dubai, if you commit a crime, they put you on the next plane back to your country. that's what they do. there courts. there are no appeal courts. there's know, you have there's no, you know, you have if commit a crime in dubai, if you commit a crime in dubai, you fourth with in you are removed. fourth with in the uk we have human rights laws which prevent that because everyone has a right to a private and family life. so i'm afraid they've got to comply with that as while we're in the european convention on and while

strasbourg, we are under the remit of the jurisdiction . remit of the jurisdiction. jurisdiction of strasbourg has a direct effect on us. i'm afraid we have to comply with it . we have to comply with it. >> yeah. no no, i understand that ivan samson, thank you very much indeed for the frankness of your opinions . and ivan is right your opinions. and ivan is right . he's right. what have you may think at home about this? all the while we are signed up to the while we are signed up to the european convention on human rights we will not be able to deport people to rwanda. it is just as simple as that . and yet just as simple as that. and yet the government , the opposition, the government, the opposition, completely refuse to face up to that. completely refuse to face up to that . in a completely refuse to face up to that. in a moment, i'll be joined by jason miller. he's the senior adviser to donald j. trump. i'm going to ask him, how goodis trump. i'm going to ask him, how good is he feeling about tonight's 7 pm. caucus here in iowa ? iowa? >> i'm patrick christys tonight, 9 to 11 pm. i am back with a bang.the 9 to 11 pm. i am back with a bang. the former immigration minister, robert jenrick gives his most honest and defiant interview all

interview to date. all immigration is good. >> that diversity is strength. i think that's wrong . think that's wrong. >> the rwanda rebel let rip on the government's failure to stop the government's failure to stop the boats . the boats. >> my advice to the prime minister is you will not succeed unless you adopt this very robust . approach, and then we robust. approach, and then we will let the public down. >> and in a mammoth week for rishi sunak, jenrick has piled the pressure on. >> we've done three failed bills in three years. it's three strikes or you're out. >> unleashed >> robert jenrick unleashed on a special

>> so at 7:00 tonight and over 1500 locations across iowa , 1500 locations across iowa, people will gather. they'll be speeches made and people will vote and they'll choose who's their favourite person to be. the republican party candidate for the election . in the general for the election. in the general election in november. well, i'm joined by jason miller, senior

adviser to donaldj . trump and, adviser to donald j. trump and, um, jason . in 2016, ted cruz won um, jason. in 2016, ted cruz won iowa beat trump. uh, you're feeling pretty optimistic, i think today feeling pretty good today. >> and so make sure folks in the uk know this is the first contest in the series to decide who's ultimately going to be the next republican nominee, and then president of the united states for the single day voting this fall, or the period. but you have the one kind of ultimate general election. so the polling numbers look good. our grassroots team is good. that's difference between that's the difference between 2016 and now is the structure , 2016 and now is the structure, the turnout operation, because it's not as simple as just showing up and dropping off a ballot. you show up to a gymnasium or some local auditorium. get together gymnasium or some local audityourn. get together gymnasium or some local audityour neighbours,»gether gymnasium or some local audityour neighbours, yomer gymnasium or some local audityour neighbours, you pick with your neighbours, you pick who is going to be, who the winner is going to be, and a lengthier process. so and it's a lengthier process. so it's different than just drop that and move on. that ballot and move on. so organisation makes the organisation makes all the difference. organisation makes all the diffand:e. organisation makes all the diffand:eguess , you trump >> and i guess, you know, trump was very , very new at all of was very, very new at all of this back in 2016. and didn't

have much experience. and so you know i get it. i mean, his team is much more i have to say jason, you know, you guys are doing a very forjob him at doing a very good forjob him at the moment. his team is a lot more professional. uh, how's he feeling about things? more professional. uh, how's he feeihe'sibout things? more professional. uh, how's he feeihe's feeling ings? more professional. uh, how's he feeihe's feeling pretty good. >> he's feeling pretty good. and, you know, one of the things >> he's feeling pretty good. asay you know, one of the things >> he's feeling pretty good. asay is,| know, one of the things >> he's feeling pretty good. asay is, yes, �*w, one of the things >> he's feeling pretty good. asay is, yes, of one of the things >> he's feeling pretty good. asay is, yes, of course the things >> he's feeling pretty good. asay is, yes, of course i'm things i say is, yes, of course i'm part of his team. i'm one of his advisors. it's always top advisors. but it's always top down in these. down leadership in these. president his president trump, this is his third time running for president. it. he's president. so he knows it. he's not a rookie. he's not a not a rookie. he's not he's a veteran. now he knows this veteran. now he knows how this works. thing is works. the other thing too is a lot of the trump supporters are very experienced well. very experienced as well. they've the rallies. they've shown up to the rallies. they've shown up to the rallies. they camped out overnight. they've stood in line for hours. so talk about really so when you talk about really a key indicator, we have data points for for hundreds points for over for hundreds of thousands and how thousands of iowans and know how to them, how to to talk to them, how to communicate with them, we're pretty going pretty confident if you're going to overnight for trump to camp out overnight for trump rally show to rally tickets, you'll show up to caucus. the number was caucus. now the number that was suggested earlier by joe suggested to me earlier by joe partners, the polling firm, was that if trump less 40, that if trump got less than 40, questions be asked if he questions would be asked if he got more than 50, it's game over i >> -- >> is that about right?

>> is that about right? >> raise expectations on >> duncan? raise expectations on me. way i'll me. i'm happy with the way i'll take win. is a win is a win. take a win. is a win is a win. um, so folks know that the record margin is 12 points from first place place. first place to second place. that was no republican has that was 1988. no republican has ever gone above 50% in that threshold. so to the point that the pollster was saying 50% would be a smash record. yeah anything in between, anything in between . you know what? i am between. but you know what? i am happy with just the win. let's start. with the win. then start. start with the win. then we'll go win in new hampshire. >> now a little bit of a thought about the other candidates here. you picked about the other candidates here. yotsome picked about the other candidates here. yotsome support picked about the other candidates here. yotsome support desantis picked about the other candidates here. yotsome support desantis byked about the other candidates here. yotsome support desantis by some up some support desantis by some measures has disappointed uh ramaswamy makes a lot of noise but shows great energy . um, but but shows great energy. um, but it does seem , jason looking at it does seem, jason looking at it does seem, jason looking at it that it's all really pretty personal. but, you know, donald trump , particularly donald trump trump, particularly donald trump and desantis , it's very and desantis, it's very personal, isn't it ? personal, isn't it? >> well, i would you could one could guess that, uh, if you read between the lines, no, i don't need to read. >> just listen to what he says,

for goodness sake. >> he calls him rob desanctimonious. yes. and so it wouldn't change someone's name to desanctimonious. but here's the trump the thing. president trump effectively handpicked rob desanctimonious, rob desantis to be the republican nominee and then to help him winning . then to help him winning. governor in 2018. and also with his re—elect then in 2022, he picked nikki haley, who was then the governor of south carolina, to then be his ambassador to the united so are two united nations. so here are two folks their folks who really owe their political to him. but folks who really owe their politthey're to him. but folks who really owe their politthey're challenging but folks who really owe their politthey're challenging him. and now they're challenging him. and in couple cases , they've in a couple of cases, they've gotten quite nasty about it. >> so he feels down by them. >> so he feels let down by them. i think he's disappointed. >> disappointed also >> disappointed. uh, but also i think a um, maybe a little think a bit, um, maybe a little more that. when we more ornery than that. when we talk just the fact that talk about just the fact that these folks should have been helping win, because helping him to win, because every every that every dollar, every minute that is spent running against rob desantis or nikki haley, it could be time or money spent on joe biden . and that's really joe biden. and that's really what this when you look at the thing, nigel, that really made the polling take off. it was when people started seeing the

general election polling of president trump beating joe biden. that's when people said, let's let's let's rally around him, let's unify. because what joe biden has done to country is has done to this country is pretty we've to pretty disastrous. we've got to come to that. >> candidate that >> the other candidate that interests me is i mentioned it earlier, ramaswami . mean, and earlier, ramaswami. i mean, and he you know, i am he he says, look, you know, i am maga am much on the same maga. i am very much on the same ticket as donald trump. i believe in the same values and the same things that donald trump. i'm just different trump. i'm just a different generation. uh is he potentially he's more of an ally than an opponent here, isn't he really? >> no. but he's he's gotten a little bit too cute. and that's where saw president trump where you saw president trump turn sights him within turn his sights on him within the of days here. the last couple of days here. ramaswamy having his people ramaswamy was having his people wear were saying, weart shirts that were saying, save trump, vote and so save trump, vote vivek. and so any there was he was caught on video talking to a lady saying that unless you vote for me, then they're going to take the nomination away from president trump. give nikki haley, trump. give it to nikki haley, who's . that's his story. >> yeah, that's and it was way too cute. >> and that point, i think >> and at that point, i think that's where president trump said, hey, enough enough. uh,

said, hey, enough is enough. uh, i got to go and let people know that just sort of that this is so he just sort of tapped down a little bit. tapped him down a little bit. i think that's probably a polite way to say it. but, uh, you know, this when president know, this is when president trump it. it's like thanos trump does it. it's like thanos from avengers. from the avengers. yeah. >> it certainly is. >> no, no, no, it certainly is. although i do think that ramaswamy has a future in the conservative movement here in america. conservative movement here in am i'ica. conservative movement here in ami think a very good >> i think he has a very good line, very good delivery. i line, very good delivery. uh, i think to have to grow think he's going to have to grow up candidate, but i'm up a bit as a candidate, but i'm worried more about president trump more from mr ramaswami. >> that was funny. i got to chicago, um, flew out on saturday, chicago, the saturday, got to chicago, the rest of the journey was a nightmare, but literally, i walked out of the front doors of chicago airport. i walked a few yards up to the left, where i was confronted by a drug crazed person . i mean, literally out of person. i mean, literally out of his head. you started kind of squaring up to me and you think, well, how do i handle this? you know, he might have a knife in his pocket. as it was. he was so out of his head. but i was able to very quickly walk around. and there we are. that happened to

me in chicago the me on saturday in chicago at the airport. situation with law airport. the situation with law and order in america cities is disturbed . disturbed. >> it really is the least . >> it really is the least. >> it really is the least. >> and yet i didn't hear trump talking about that much yesterday. he's worked it in quite a bit of late because the open border situation we have where people are coming in unvetted to and put in comparison, where 10,000 people a day coming across , that's 300,000. >> then in a month, over 3 million in a year, and those are just the ones that we think are coming through completely unvetted a lot of these people are not coming from central america or south america, ehhen america or south america, either. lot of people either. a lot of people coming from asia, lot of people from asia, a lot of people coming from africa completely unvetted. its unvetted. i know the uk has its own with people coming own crisis with people coming across day, but nothing across in the day, but nothing like here, nothing like the crisis here, nothing like the crisis here, nothing like mean, this is like this. i mean, this is because you can cross by because you can cross over by land. is pretty dangerous. land. this is pretty dangerous. so see the fentanyl, use so when we see the fentanyl, use the drug, use the crime, the homelessness, all these different going on, different things going on, it's really scary. and know really quite scary. and i know president trump the has president trump in the past has always that isn't always said that paris isn't paris anymore. that was a frequent refrain in the 2016

campaign. sadly new york isn't new york anymore. chicago isn't chicago anymore. ever any big american city is in dire american major city is in dire straits right now. yeah, i mean, very serious. >> it's a very serious situation. and yet, jason, i understand the upset that's being felt by tens of millions of americans about this has trump got solutions to this? >> absolutely . well, a big part >> absolutely. well, a big part is we got to secure the border. that's the number one. >> how do you do that physically? >> well, finish the wall. we go and actually put and get our title 42 and remain in mexico. so those are two big steps. but the other thing too is we have to send the message that if people get here, they're not going to be just showered with all sorts of benefits and be allowed have years allowed to have several years until they actually have a deportation hearing, we'll have the deportation effort the largest deportation effort in american history. get that going. part it. the going. so that's part of it. the other thing, too, is the economy. look at much of economy. you look at so much of it's the border. border it's not just the border. border is part, you look is a big part, but you look especially in our urban centres where priced where inflation has priced people their homes.

people out of their homes. that's why see homelessness that's why you see homelessness spiking number one thing you can do if you're an do on inflation, if you're an executive is with energy to go and costs down. you and get energy costs down. you get gas down. all get the cost of gas down. all energy. >> p- energy. >> trump refrain drill >> hence the trump refrain drill baby, drill, baby drill. baby, drill drill, baby drill. >> so those are the big things that he can do day one. and i that he can do on day one. and i think that's also what sets him apart anyone else since apart from anyone else is since he's president, know how he's been president, we know how he's been president, we know how he's govern. a lot of he's going to govern. a lot of these things can do by these things you can do by executive meaning the executive order, meaning the president it as president can just sign it as opposed go to opposed to having to go to congress and take months or even years to get it done. so years to try to get it done. so day one, he can do something about and he do about inflation and he can do something border. something about the border. >> mean, look, you know, >> yeah. i mean, look, you know, there's about some there's no question about some extraordinary event he's going there's no question about some ex'win'dinary event he's going there's no question about some ex'win'dinary e\he'sie's going there's no question about some ex'win'dinary e\he's going»ing there's no question about some ex'win'dinary e\he's going to; there's no question about some ex'win'dinary e\he's going to be to win tonight. he's going to be the republican candidate. uh, the republican candidate. uh, the polls suggest at the moment he's leading key swing he's leading in the key swing states quite big margins. so states by quite big margins. so it's all looking good for your campaign. >> and one other thing to point out is that a number of constituencies that democratic party, joe biden's party, take for granted african americans , for granted african americans, latino americans, asian

americans, young voters , americans, young voters, independents, all of those core groups that the democrats take for granted . president trump is for granted. president trump is winning with president trump is actually with hispanic actually winning with hispanic voters right now. and so it just shows how far off things have fallen. >> and the whole axis of where the republican party is in terms of support has changed under trump dramatically. uh, the country club, republican party is gone , uh, in many, many ways. is gone, uh, in many, many ways. but jason, you know, looked at from the rest of the world, we've got a series of indictments here. the man is in court almost every week. his ability to campaign over the course of this year will be seriously curtailed . uh, the seriously curtailed. uh, the case, particularly in georgia , case, particularly in georgia, looks very awkward. how does trump get through these legal difficulties ? difficulties? >> good question. so, especially if you're looking from across the pond and wondering what's going on. oh, we can't believe it. well, so one thing i wouldn't cede that necessarily any of these cases on the criminal side or with the ballot access issues are going to be an issue. this year. we don't know

because of the timings with the appeals. supreme has appeals. the supreme court has to decisions about to make some decisions about which and which cases can go forward and can't. so there be cases can't. so could there be cases in 2024? yes is there a scenario that none of those cases actually come up? absolutely but i that it's really it's i think that it's really it's baked in the cake now to where voters see what's going on. the more that he goes the more more that he goes up, the more they after him with more they come after him with more cases. and voters cases. yeah. and american voters are they can are pretty smart. they can realise, a minute, why is realise, wait a minute, why is all happening now? not all this happening now? not several years ago? why earn some of things? they're coming of these things? they're coming after you after and things are like, you know, decade old, decade and a half people get it half old. i think people get it and they realise that this is election interference. >> well, it's him harm election interference. >> we moment. him harm election interference. >> we moment. jasonn harm election interference. >> we moment. jason miller,arm at the moment. jason miller, thank you very much indeed for joining me. see you again joining me. we'll see you again over course of next few over the course of the next few months. back in the london months. now, back in the london studio, have sir john months. now, back in the london studio, have sirjohn hayes, studio, we have sirjohn hayes, conservative got last parliament. i've got the last couple of minutes with him. sir john, it would over john, it would appear over rwanda your party is rwanda policy that your party is more than it's almost more divided than it's almost ever been divided between those

of us who want this bill to work and those who are less certain about that. >> but certainly all of the concern that i speak to that have signed the amendments that are robert jenrick and are tabled by robert jenrick and bill , want to the bill cash, want to stop the boats, want the bill to work, want to add this tide of illegal immigration? nigel >> know well, illegal immigration. we're discussing it, sir. john, you're discussing it. i was discussing it here with jason miller a moment ago. it is a very real issue, but ivan sampson was on a bit earlier. the immigration lawyer and a very fair minded man. and he says ultimately all the while we're part the european we're part of the european convention human rights, will convention on human rights, will neven be convention on human rights, will never, be able get the never, ever be able to get the rwanda to work. rwanda plan to work. >> the european convention >> well, the european convention is something i think we should leave. i mean, i believe in leaving the echr, but we can't do that now. sadly we and this convention doesn't prohibit states from doing what the bill contemplates, namely outsourcing asylum claims , making sure asylum claims, making sure they're processed offshore . now,

they're processed offshore. now, there are some lawyers who will disagree with that. no doubt it will face challenges as we've got to do what the british people asked us to take back control of our borders . control of our borders. >> well, sir john, you're absolutely right. the british people did instruct you to take back control of our borders. the brexit vote told told you to take back control of our borders and i don't doubt the sincerity of you, of bill cash, of many of the others. but i do genuinely think that all the while we're part of the echr will never solve it. maybe put it in the manifesto. anyway, it's over for me. now have look at the me. let's now have a look at the all important, whether looks like things are heating up. >> boxt boilers sponsors of whether on . gb news. whether on. gb news. >> hello again. very good evening to you. i'm alex burkill here with your latest gb news, weather forecast , the cold weather forecast, the cold themes set to continue and so it will stay frosty and icy at times with some snow showers too. but is the too. but there is also the potential for some heavy , potential for some heavy, persistent northern persistent snow across northern
