3:09 pm
spokesperson yesterday and they were that it's a bit were saying that it's a bit premature to put a number on it, that grand figure that they that 750 grand figure that they definitely didn't dispute. but it's to be a lot of money. it's going to be a lot of money. they priority is the they say his priority is the safety of his family and his case against the home office, because all of this is about an article the mail on article written by the mail on sunday his separate case sunday about his separate case against the home office. they allege that prince harry was trying spin narrative to trying to spin the narrative to make himself good make himself look good and perhaps manipulate the british public. that public. prince harry said that was an attack on his honesty and integrity sued them. was an attack on his honesty and integon' sued them. was an attack on his honesty and integon sunday, sued them. was an attack on his honesty and integon sunday, saying them. was an attack on his honesty and integon sunday, saying itsem. mail on sunday, saying its honest opinion well, that ship has sailed on his honesty and integrity . integrity. >> i mean, look, he he's far. his grandfather was dying and they came out on oprah doing this talk . i they came out on oprah doing this talk. i mean, if anything, that's that tells you all you need to know. then there was the whole thing about racism within the family then the royal family and then he came bradby showed came out on tom bradby showed say no one in the family say no one, no one in the family is racist. i mean, he is racist. i mean, why did he not say anything worried not say anything if he's worried about safety, not say anything if he's worried aboton safety, not say anything if he's worried aboton would safety, not say anything if he's worried aboton would talk y, why on earth would he talk about his count in afghanistan? his kill count in afghanistan? all sounds nonsense .

3:14 pm
ihope is illegal to support hamas. so i hope that there is an investigation and that anyone responsible for this so—called guidance is immediately kicked out. it is shocking and it is disgusting. now you mentioned the baby nana. this has been a very sad week in israel and around the world. and let me tell you why this week, as you said , an israeli baby called said, an israeli baby called kfir bibas turned one year old. but baby fear has been held hostage by hamas since october 7. he has spent. listen to this. he has spent a third of his life in captivity. it is so painful to even talk about this nana look , tell me, why doesn't look, tell me, why doesn't hamas. i'm asking you. i'm asking your viewers. why doesn't hamas simply release the baby? release him and the other 130 hostages and bring this war to an end ? why don't they do that?
3:15 pm
an end? why don't they do that? tell me your opinion, nana. >> do you know in my opinion, in my view, i don't think they want it to end. they have in their confidence said that they want to destroy jews , kill all to destroy all jews, kill all jews. it? very clearly . jews. is that it? very clearly. and that was intention and that was their intention when went on the 7th of when they went on the 7th of october. they've said october. they've also said they're again. they're going to do it again. so in opinion , i don't think in my opinion, i don't think they to stop. they they want to stop. if they stopped firing the bombs, in my view, back the view, and gave back the hostages, i'm thinking that israel am i not israel would stop. am i not correct ? correct? >> absolutely. and look , let me >> absolutely. and look, let me go now to the benjamin netanyahu situation . i just want to show situation. i just want to show all your viewers , look, i was a all your viewers, look, i was a paratrooper . i all your viewers, look, i was a paratrooper. i fought in the six—day war in jerusalem . um, i six—day war in jerusalem. um, i know what war is. it's awful. it's shocking. terrible lots of civilian casualties. now now. but meanwhile, this is just listen to this. meanwhile there is another huge march taking over the streets of london today, am i right? these are
3:16 pm
sympathisers of hamas who are glad . listen, who are glad. the glad. listen, who are glad. the 7th of october happened. what has happened to your country, nana? what happened to your country ? country? >> well, listen, some people on these marches might argue that they are actually worried about they are actually worried about the death and or, you know, lots of dying you know, of people dying and you know, that's what they're worried about. of really about. a lot of people really calling for peace. in fact, we had david lammy, who's one had our david lammy, who's one of parliamentarians of our, um, parliamentarians calling for a ceasefire. i want you to watch this. have a listen . and david lammy does not speak for me. >> if he dares to show his face in taunting me, then he's. he's a right man. you know, rothman, you're supporting . genocide. and you're supporting. genocide. and we say disarming. no more complaints . you deal with complaints. you deal with genocide on syria . we see what genocide on syria. we see what you're saying in this whole of imperialist look at it in the
3:17 pm
middle of this, in the above. >> so that's that was a response to one of our politicians who was on stage at a fabian society event calling , i think he was event calling, i think he was calling for a ceasefire . yeah. calling for a ceasefire. yeah. >> look , the whole thing is so >> look, the whole thing is so shocking. what's happening not only israel but around the only in israel but around the world. i mean, they're all firing ballistic missiles . uh, firing ballistic missiles. uh, the houthis , uh, anyhow. but the houthis, uh, anyhow. but let's go back now to benjamin netanyahu . i want to say netanyahu. i want to say something else about this. and this is very important because i want to help your viewers. nana to understand something . there to understand something. there is an obsession with the idea that a two state solution will solve everything. but let me tell you why this is so dangerous. look, just imagine the west bank and gaza being became a palestinian state. listen, it was only encourage the palestinians to step up their fight to destroy israel .
3:18 pm
their fight to destroy israel. it would be armed with tanks , it would be armed with tanks, with missiles and an air force and it would be all backed by iran. iran that's the head of the snake . you know, we saw that the snake. you know, we saw that hamas , we all saw what hamas did hamas, we all saw what hamas did on october 7, and hamas would easily take over palestinian state. a two state solution is not a recipe for peace . it is a not a recipe for peace. it is a recipe for war. and the only solution to the conflict is to destroy hamas and to have a direct negotiation session with the palestinian leadership, which accepts israel. that israel is here to stay. this is the only way to create a bright future for israel and a bright future for israel and a bright future for israel and a bright future for the palestinians. and both people deserve it. >> well, that but but but that sounds like so you're saying a one state where they all live together in harmony and you'd keep the west bank and the settlers within the west bank
3:19 pm

storage solution can work. we are deindustrialising on a massive scale and i hope jim can understand that. his politics, his stop oil nonsense and all this, that politics is now costing us very dear and it's very close to home to me. >> but but he might argue, and there's lot do , that there's a lot of them do, that we are protecting ourselves on the the planet the planet and the planet itself. without we itself. and without a planet we are we actually need are nothing. so we actually need to planet and to maintain the planet and ourselves on it, and therefore we need to use techniques that mean that we do not destroy our environment . mean that we do not destroy our environment. this is what they might argue . might argue. >> more co2 is good, more co2 is good.i >> more co2 is good, more co2 is good. i really do love one day to be able to explain to gb news you know gb news time. >> me why more >> explain to me why more co2 is good most people think good because most people think it's okay, when you it's to do >> okay, when you it's to do it's to do with some physics which i need 4 or 5 minutes to explain, that's all. but i could explain, that's all. but i could explain it 4 5 minutes. explain it in 4 or 5 minutes. can you basically . i'll try. can you do basically. i'll try. well, okay. um, add well, okay. um, when you add c02, the well, okay. um, when you add co2, the first 25 parts, 50 parts per million takes up most
3:29 pm
of it, right? takes up what the radiation there is. and as you add, becomes less add, it becomes less and less effective . so it's like painting effective. so it's like painting a red . if you've got a a wall red. if you've got a white wall, you put a coat of red on, it's red. but i put another it's redder another coat on, it's redder and another coat on, it's redder and another it's redder. another coat on. it's redder. but 3 or 4 coats it makes but after 3 or 4 coats it makes no extra co2. now no difference. so extra co2. now this the of now this is the physics of it. now both agree. the both sides both sides agree. the both sides agree on the science there. by the way, there's no dispute between alarmists on between me and the alarmists on that. were the that. the scientists were the dispute is they say, ah , dispute comes is they say, ah, but creates water but that creates more water vapour if you double it vapour because if you double it now from 400 ish, you'll get 1% more , 1. more radiation trapped, 1. according to the figures , which according to the figures, which is 0.7 of a degree c to go in doubung is 0.7 of a degree c to go in doubling what the clouds come in into it, because that doesn't allow for clouds . and the clouds allow for clouds. and the clouds come in because the extra water vapoun come in because the extra water vapour, don't allow vapour, they don't allow for that. successfully that. no one has successfully modelled . modelled clouds. >> so saying that the >> so you're saying that the modelling that they have used is not considered external factors like clouds. correct they will have amount of co2 have on the amount of co2 released into atmosphere. if released into the atmosphere. if you look the satellite you look at the satellite temperatures, like this .
3:30 pm
temperatures, they're like this. >> look at all the >> if you then look at all the models are like this, 3 to 4 times heating, but there is times more heating, but there is one model that's pretty near and that model doesn't allow for the extra thing. they treble extra thing. they they treble it, they treble the effect. >> where are the ipcc people >> where are the ipcc and people like that? why are they not explaining to us what their sort of calculations are and how their modelling works as to how they've worked out that it is c02 that, they've worked out that it is co2 that, in their view, is the enemy. >> they have a lot of the physics has. there's a lot of good physics done by the ipcc, but and the but there's the physics and the science . and then then science. and then and then there's the political side, which is what the for which is what the summary for policy makers is written by policy makers is and written by a representative from each country. it's political document. so when i show when i show jim for example, i showed in ipcc saying there's no in the ipcc saying there's no more floods, there's no signs for that. there's no signs for droughts. he oh, know, for that. there's no signs for dri'mhts. he oh, know, for that. there's no signs for dri'm offering oh, know, for that. there's no signs for dri'm offering a oh, know, for that. there's no signs for dri'm offering a crucifix know, for that. there's no signs for dri'm offering a crucifix to know, if i'm offering a crucifix to dracula sort of thing. but in actual the actual fact, it's true. and the scientists said, look, it's warming too much. the models are wrong they're too much, wrong, they're warming too much, but stop but that doesn't stop the politics. politics with
3:31 pm
politics. so the politics with ipcc will ipcc will put, um, a president of a of a small island. tuvalu in a pool of water, and the coral reef there on a desk and say, look, we're sinking . and when you look at sinking. and when you look at the satellite, they've grown 2.9. the evidence . i'd love to 2.9. the evidence. i'd love to be able to present this properly to viewers. and you . this is the to viewers. and you. this is the only on any television or only show on any television or radio show. this nana akua show that allows my view to come across , which is we need more across, which is we need more c02, across, which is we need more co2, so we're not damaging the planet. >> the a lot of people are arguing right now. i mean, all the big major bodies are saying we need to reduce co2. you've got our to got obviously our approach to net governments and net zero. the governments and businesses putting in big businesses are putting in big for there has to be for money this. there has to be some to what they're for money this. there has to be some andto what they're for money this. there has to be some and a what they're for money this. there has to be some and a lot at they're for money this. there has to be some and a lot ofthey're for money this. there has to be some and a lot of people feel saying. and a lot of people feel that is reality. that this is the reality. >> then so sorry. that this is the reality. >> well then so sorry. that this is the reality. >> well , then so sorry. that this is the reality. >> well , wellhen so sorry. that this is the reality. >> well , well quickly ;orry. that this is the reality. >> well, well quickly then. >> well, well quickly then. >> i've got very quickly. well why the leading physicist within the nobel prize now join the association called the co2 coalition, which is calling for more leading more co2. why are the leading scientists and why don't they debate me ? why don't they debate
3:32 pm
debate me? why don't they debate people? well, they will, they should do. >> don't what >> and i don't know what happened to jim. jim was supposed to debating now, supposed to be debating you now, but he's been but i think he's he's been in trapped he's. but i think he's he's been in trappe�*did he's. but i think he's he's been in trappe�*did go? he's. but i think he's he's been in trappe�*did go? is he's. but i think he's he's been in trappe�*did go? is he he's. but i think he's he's been in trappe�*did go? is he goneie's. where did he go? is he gone to thailand flew. he thailand? he flew. i think he would thailand. would have flown to thailand. obviously is, he obviously but wherever he is, he probably guzzling probably went on a gas guzzling machine that took him there. but he to talk to he is not available to talk to us now. we would really wanted to some balance. what are to get some balance. what are your think that your views? do you think that c02 gb your views? do you think that co2 gb views gb co2 is the enemy? gb views gb news. at gb news. com or tweet me at gb news. paul burgess, climate scientist much. scientist thank you very much. right, you're with i'm nana right, you're with me. i'm nana akua just coming up to 32 minutes after 4:00, 3:00 on the way. political spotlight, where i shine a light on political issues . and joining me, the issues. and joining me, the former labour party spokesperson james mathewson, on what life is like in labour politics under jeremy corbyn. but first, let's get your latest news headlines with aaron armstrong . with aaron arm strong. >> with aaron armstrong. >> it's 332. i'm aaron armstrong in the gb newsroom. norfolk police has referred itself to the independent watchdog in relation to the deaths of four

3:41 pm
we, we normally go in for in politics. but it is i think politics. um, but it is i think the conversations you have the conversations that you have up down the country when up and down the country when something's you something's become so, um, you know, people are so confident in it people on street are it that people on the street are starting to acknowledge the fact that think a labour that they think a labour landslide income and tells landslide is income and it tells you to know, you all you need to know, really. think to be really. and i think to be honest, by that point, once you've of you've reached that level of kind of cut through with the public, then it really does have an influence on the polls. >> our map >> now we've got our map on screen those who are screen for those who are listening on radio 2019, there's a yellow there. a little bit of yellow there. liberal democrats really they're going to hold ground. going to hold some ground. i can't but that's snp can't believe it. but that's snp actually snp up in scotland. >> because >> yeah they're orange because the you never know. >> w t— >> sometimes it's yellow, sometimes it's orange. yeah that's the top there. that's the snp at the top there. you've liberal you've got little liberal democrats at very very tiny you've got little liberal dentheres at very very tiny you've got little liberal denthere int very very tiny you've got little liberal denthere in 2024 very very tiny you've got little liberal denthere in 2024 very verylooks top there in 2024 where it looks like to take some like they're going to take some ground. red ground. you've got a bit of red there for the conservatives on there for the conservatives on the the outskirts of the the on the outskirts of the little islands, on the, the north—east, south—west coast of scotland . what's so conservative scotland. what's so conservative about that area was snp before it. this is it. >> it's that it's that collapse from the snp that we're seeing.
3:42 pm
i think when we that i think when we see that collapse it goes collapse from the snp, it goes different directions. you know, you the people different directions. you know, you been the people different directions. you know, you been brought the people different directions. you know, you been brought the pecbyz different directions. you know, you snpieen brought the pecbyz different directions. you know, you snp have)rought the pecbyz different directions. you know, you snp have been1t the pecbyz different directions. you know, you snp have been brought)e(by3 the snp have been brought together who together in a coalition who agree on one thing and one thing alone, and that's independence , alone, and that's independence, that's their can be that's their politics can be scattered the place. scattered all over the place. that can the right that can be to the right economically . or, you know, economically. or, you know, they can socially conservative, or can be socially conservative, or they could be left wing. so they unhed they could be left wing. so they united independence . and united around independence. and now independence pretty now that independence is pretty much happen, much guaranteed to not happen, and people are seeing that it's, you know, going be pipe you know, going to be a pipe dream future. you dream for the future. uh, you know, like nicola know, people like nicola sturgeon the towel sturgeon are throwing the towel in enough of in saying she's had enough of a political you she political career. you know, she would if she would be hanging around if she thought was a chance to thought there was a chance to secure independence. however, you much you know, i think she had much choice with the £600,000 choice after with the £600,000 caravan and all the stuff that's been going on. >> her whatsapps have just whatsapps you said it, >> you said it. you said it, but that's i think you'll that's it. but i think you'll see those votes, you know, see those snp votes, you know, the in the faith in the the collapse in the faith in the snp scotland's collapsed. snp and scotland's collapsed. you'll out you'll see that spreading out amongst the parties. but crucially, gives labour crucially, it gives labour enough able to form enough seats to be able to form that majority. well i did always say that the failure of the
3:43 pm
labour party was the reason why we of fragmented we had a sort of fragmented scotland , one that was ready to, scotland, one that was ready to, you it's true. you know, it's true. >> from the uk , united >> detach from the uk, united kingdom now obviously the kingdom and now obviously the snp have absolutely destroyed their chances , firstly with that their chances, firstly with that gender which gender recognition reform, which i thought just absolute i thought was just absolute nonsense , then with these nonsense, then with all these sort that come sort of things that have come now, what's your view on the state of scottish politics? because i'm wondering where you are with that. >> yeah, it's very interesting being edinburgh being based in edinburgh myself full . yeah. i being based in edinburgh myself full .yeah. i mean, i have full time. yeah. i mean, i have conversations with people who are independent. are passionately independent. you pro—independence you know, pro—independence still ironically , a lot of the people ironically, a lot of the people who i speak are who i speak to who are pro—independence aren't scottish. you know, there are people who've moved into scotland and are really passionate scotland and are really passiona but actually , when you identity, but actually, when you look at devolution, i'm experiencing it up there. the benefits of devolution are colossal. they've been absolutely . you know what? absolutely huge. you know what? what people from absolutely huge. you know what? wht devolution 3eople from absolutely huge. you know what? whtdevolution deale from absolutely huge. you know what? whtdevolution deal right from absolutely huge. you know what? whtdevolution deal right i'iowi absolutely huge. you know what? whtdevolution deal right now is the devolution deal right now is immense . and what they're able immense. and what they're able to do and influence in the scottish parliament and the way the scottish parliament runs, we could things from in
3:44 pm
could learn things from it in westminster. i really do westminster. yeah, i really do think it's a it's a shining example know, throw example. but, you know, to throw that away for the sake of, you know, i'd entity politics just seems , you know, i think seems, you know, i think shocking and now more people recognise that they don't want to risk it. >> and obviously with edinburgh being just thought being your base, i just thought i'd mentioned humza yousaf, which unfortunate that which is so unfortunate that useless just rolls off your tongue easily and fits so tongue so easily and fits so neatly. he has almost been neatly. but he has almost been given a poisoned chalice, and sometimes slight feel sometimes i have a slight feel of sorry him a little bit, of sorry for him a little bit, but i think he's useless . i have but i think he's useless. i have to say, i don't think any of his , you know, the way he's gone about think he's about things. i don't think he's particularly good, but i think he's a scottish people. >> i do think an effective politician. >> seem like him on >> people seem to like him on the ground. they and the ground. they do. and same with anas sarwar on the labour party. they've been with anas sarwar on the labour party. for they've been with anas sarwar on the labour party. for a they've been with anas sarwar on the labour party. for a while. ey've been with anas sarwar on the labour party. for a while. they've en with anas sarwar on the labour party. for a while. they've been around for a while. they've been doing groundwork doing the groundwork and they're likeable and they likeable politicians and they represent quite a modern scotland, you know, a diverse scotland. and they stand for a lot of what, you know, scottish values are perceived to be these days. the snp is a party.
3:45 pm
however, i don't think you can climb back from the level of controversy they've seen. you know it's toxic now and people know, it's toxic now and people are looking back and they're saying, remember the labour saying, we remember the labour party, remember the tories, party, we remember the tories, they bets and we can they were safe bets and we can put our vote back. >> interesting , isn't >> they're interesting, isn't it? of course, you, as it? and of course, you, as somebody a supporter somebody who was not a supporter of jeremy corbyn. >> well start i was i was >> well i'll start i was i was supported jeremy initially socially . um, supported jeremy initially socially. um, mean very much socially. um, i mean i very much came from the left. my political journey was , um, left wing. came from the left. my political j(mean, was , um, left wing. came from the left. my political j(mean, my , um, left wing. came from the left. my political j(mean, my idols. left wing. came from the left. my political j(mean, my idols growingzt wing. came from the left. my political j(mean, my idols growing up'ing. came from the left. my political j(mean, my idols growing up were i mean, my idols growing up were thomas sankara and, you know, karl marx and che guevara , like karl marx and che guevara, like every good young socialist. yeah absolutely. but, you know , absolutely. but, um, you know, dunng absolutely. but, um, you know, during my working in during my time working in politics, i realised, you know, the hypocrisy that we were seeing on the left because we would go out to picket lines, we would go out to picket lines, we would go out to picket lines, we would go out to protest and we would go out to protest and we would about how won't would go out to protest and we woul
3:46 pm
difficult to be an ideologue and to that, okay, this to be driven by that, okay, this is my staunch ideology and i don't deal with who don't deal with anyone who disagrees because disagrees with it because ultimately, compromise the ultimately, compromise is the way achieved. way things are done, achieved. and day i don't think and every day i don't think people realise in this country how much is achieved in parliament through cooperation between parties behind the scenes. scei'ies. >> scenes. >> do you think that's what's gone a of the gone wrong with a lot of the political dialogue that you see? i since until news came i mean, since until gb news came along, the along, i didn't really see the level balance a lot level of balance because a lot of people come onto this channel. they're very left wing, left get talking left wing, and we get talking like matthew laza or even matthew stadlen. you get talking and suddenly we start to find this common ground, and then people so scary. people don't seem so scary. yeah.in people don't seem so scary. yeah. in the end , yeah. yeah. in the end, yeah. >> they're not. if you sit down with anyone you and a with anyone, you go and have a pint someone. you're going with anyone, you go and have a pint a someone. you're going with anyone, you go and have a pint a someorwith)u're going with anyone, you go and have a pint a someorwith someone.] to have a coffee with someone. you can get to you realise that you can get to know chat to know them, you can chat to them. and for me. and this was the thing for me. i mean, up in the mean, i grew up in the north—east you know, north—east of england. you know, margaret a swear margaret thatcher was a swear word in our household and remained to you i, remained to be, you know, i, you know, agree more know, couldn't agree more with those really in my those sentiments. really in my political however, when political views. however, when you get to westminster and you
3:47 pm
meet who are meet these tories who are terrifying, you and you terrifying, you know, and you suddenly realise they're human beings with thoughts and opinions and they opinions and, you know, and they just different way of just have a different way of doing to you, then you're doing things to you, then you're able those conversations able to have those conversations and , you know, that and actually, you know, that was why on the left and elements of the hard left saying, you know, oh, we will have nothing to do with tories , whilst at the with the tories, whilst at the same labour mps on the left same time labour mps on the left having to go behind the scenes to get things done. i mean, i knew i labour mp on the knew i knew a labour mp on the left to stop left who managed to stop a college constituency college in his constituency being by cooperation with being closed by cooperation with michael gove. you know , a michael gove. you know, a conversation with and then conversation with him and then the next day shouting about the next day was shouting about michael line, michael gove on a picket line, you know, so that's why kind michael gove on a picket line, yo like ow, so that's why kind michael gove on a picket line, yo like about that's why kind michael gove on a picket line, yo like about politics. hy kind of like about politics. >> your >> you can have your disagreements, but you still talk it's good talk afterwards and it's good that nigel farage, that people like nigel farage, who jungle you who went to the jungle and, you know, 90, know, a lot of people go, nigel farage, then they think, oh, it's actually polite. it's actually really polite. he's gentleman. he's a real gentleman. he's really it, mean, >> well, that's it, i mean, i disagree basically disagree with basically everything nigel farage says, but i support his right to, to say it, you know, and i'll stand there and listen to him you there and listen to him and, you know, forward and know, he can put it forward and that's be the central that's got to be the central tenet a of a democracy in
3:48 pm

3:50 pm
for them to lose, i think. or the party could do the tory party could do something good, but what's theirs to though, isn't it? >> that's it's theirs to lose. >> that's it's theirs to lose. >> it is james matheson, >> well, it is james matheson, thank coming. thank you very much for coming. thank of thank you. to me, that is of course, he's course, james matheson. he's a former labour party spokesperson . political . oh, wow. so that was political spotlight. interesting . oh, wow. so that was political spotliright. interesting . oh, wow. so that was political spotli right. butnteresting . oh, wow. so that was political spotli right. but let'ssting . oh, wow. so that was political spotli right. but let's return stuff. right. but let's return now to my healthwatch because king charles has returned to sandringham from scotland ahead of his hospital visit . he's due of his hospital visit. he's due to benign , to be treated for benign, enlarged prostate next week, and the has said he's the monarch has said that he's keen go public with the keen to go public with the condition encourage men condition to encourage other men to checked. so joining me to get checked. so joining me now director now is the former director of the cancer program, the who. cancer program, professor carol sikora. uh, carol, thank you very much for joining me. it's really to good talk to you. i've read a lot of your . um, want talk your stuff. um, i want to talk to about enlarged to you about this enlarged prostate. then what? i mean, i'm presuming there's. it's not a tumour. it's not a lump. what is it? what does it mean ? it? what does it mean? >> so men have a prostate >> so all men have a prostate gland? a lot of people don't know where it is. it's actually around the urethra. the tube that connects the to the that connects the bladder to the outside world. and it's a
3:51 pm
little. it's about the size of an apricot normally. >> and as you get older, in all men , it enlarges. men, it enlarges. >> and if it gets to a certain size and sometimes it enlarges unequally on different sides, it blocks the outflow of urine from the bladder to the outside world. so if you notice men take longer to pee when they get older than when they're young . older than when they're young. and that's because the prostate normally enlarges. we call it benign prostatic hypertrophy nana, but that's just because it's increased size of the prostate. now the worry about it all is in some patients there will be prostate cancer. so i'm sure what's happened to the king is he's been screened very well for cancer. there's been no hint that there's any indication that his markers for cancer , the psa his markers for cancer, the psa test is raised . so the procedure test is raised. so the procedure he's likely to have is just going to be what we call transurethral resection or tur, where you just pull out bits of
3:52 pm
the prostate, very minor procedure under anaesthetic . and procedure under anaesthetic. and then maybe a night in hospital and then home and watching carefully to make sure there's no infection. that's the usual way it's done. yeah >> well it's good of him to talk about it actually , even though about it actually, even though it did sort of feel a bit uncomfortable hearing you uncomfortable hearing that you think prostate, you think king charles prostate, you know, he know, but the fact that he shared is good because other shared it is good because other men have probably had that sort of weird feeling when they're going stuff like going to talk about stuff like that. good for him to that. so it's good for him to acknowledge he, of acknowledge that he, first of all, he's all, acknowledged that he's human. you human. now i wanted to ask you about the measles vaccination and what's going on with that, because there seems to be a bit of an outbreak certain of an outbreak in certain parts of an outbreak in certain parts of country. of an outbreak in certain parts of sorryry. of an outbreak in certain parts of sorry ,'. of an outbreak in certain parts of sorry , of what the >> i'm sorry, of what the measles , measles outbreak at the measles, measles outbreak at the moment , the what the measles, moment, the what the measles, measles , measles, mmr , measles. measles, measles, mmr, measles. >> oh, measles. measles. yeah. sorry. what did i sound like? i'm saying. >> i mean, you remember many years ago the scandal of the
3:53 pm
wakefield scandal, when , uh, a wakefield scandal, when, uh, a physician who actually got struck off by the medical council , uh, struck off by the medical council, uh, put out this stuff that autism and various other mental health disorders in children were caused by the mmr vaccine . so people stopped vaccine. so people stopped vaccinating their kids. some parents decided to give them partial vaccines from the mmr. >> it was separated. >> it was separated. >> others continue food. and what's happened? we've got the combination of the anti—vax feeling from covid together with the wakefield scandal of nearly 20 years ago has made people feel that vaccination may not be as safe as it's made out . and as safe as it's made out. and the trouble is, measles is a nasty disease only in a small percentage of children. but it can be a disease and it can lead to all sorts of complications that have long lasting problems. so i think, you know, measles is a it's we think of it as a trivial illness that is nothing. but it can have it can cause
3:54 pm

4:22 pm
deserving charity. absolutely me and maureen says rather coincidental that harry, all of a sudden is dropping his libel case.is a sudden is dropping his libel case. is he now worried about his position when father is his position when his father is being admitted hospital with being admitted to hospital with health interesting health issues? yes. interesting i didn't actually look at it at that but that's that angle, but that's an interesting point. keep your thoughts coming. vaiews@gbnews.com. but it's time now for the great british debate this hour. and asking debate this hour. and i'm asking should be allowed should asylum seekers be allowed to work? according to data obtained under the freedom of information laws, migrants arriving through the channel have been discreetly granted the right to work in industries such as care, construction and agriculture. now they are permitted employment in sectors facing staff shortages and receive 80% of the going pay rate. european nations have previously blamed migrant crossings on the generosity of britain's work and welfare system. so what do you think the great british debate? this i'm asking, should asylum seekers be allowed to work well to discuss this, i'm joined by former international security adviser henry bolton, political commentator and author tony
4:23 pm
buxton, and social buxton, author and social cohesion expert raqeeb ahsan, and political commentator benedict spence . right. so i'm benedict spence. right. so i'm going to start with you, raqib. and should and what do you think? should they to work? what they be allowed to work? what are thoughts ? are your thoughts? >> uh, my view nana is absolutely not. uh, i think there needs to be a very clear line between keen asylum seekers , uh, who have claims that are being considered and those who are granted genuine refugee status . status. >> i have to say, nana the telegraph article which covered this. >> to i had read it twice to actually believe this was actually believe this was actually government policy. i find absolute incredible. uh, find it absolute incredible. uh, not only this would act as a pull factor, we already have a serious problem with illegal migration on the english south coast there's grave coast. i think there's a grave injustice here because asylum seekers, of whom in might seekers, many of whom in might have entered the country illegally, would be offered the chance to work, but would also benefit from state funded accommodation and food and to be quite honest, many brits who are languishing in very low paid roles but also have to pay
4:24 pm
eye—watering rent rates, as well as having to cope with stubbornly, who, uh, stubbornly high food prices. and i think that's grossly unfair. >> um, well, a lot of people might say that actually, rather than us paying for them , it than us paying for them, it would be better that they actually contribute . uh, let's actually contribute. uh, let's let's go to , um, henry, you let's go to, um, henry, you probably said the same thing, actually. tonya. tonya, what are your thoughts this ? um, i'm your thoughts on this? um, i'm saying same thing as well . i saying the same thing as well. i think this is going to be a pull factor nigel farage said, factor as a nigel farage said, to getting people coming into the can you imagine the >> can you imagine the traffickers going traffickers are now going to advertise only can we advertise that not only can we get you over to britain, but we can jobs and free board can get you jobs and free board as . as well. >> em- as well. >> really terrible >> so it's a really terrible thing. it it's a bad idea. and the fact that it took a freedom of information, uh , from the of information, uh, from the telegraph to find out it shows you that the government were doing it quite sneakily. they you that the government were doing itwante sneakily. they you that the government were doing itwant us|eakily. they you that the government were doing itwant us to kily. they you that the government were doing itwant us to know hey you that the government were doing itwant us to know about did not want us to know about this, because it's just this, um, because it's just suddenly appeared. >> it's not been a narrative. it's not been a conversation that they've been having and not
4:25 pm
really what the really finding out what what the public's because public's view was. because i think probably think most people would probably find outrageous. bolton find it outrageous. henry bolton yeah, the answer nana is no, they shouldn't be doing this. >> and it's disgusting that the government has done it in such an opaque manner. the first thing is we've just we've just gone through the rwanda bill, haven't we? and all the shenanigans that. and shenanigans about that. and that's going on, of that's still going on, of course, because it's got to go to thing here to the lords. but the thing here is we've been told that that's to the lords. but the thing here is vto ve been told that that's to the lords. but the thing here is vto ve la en told that that's to the lords. but the thing here is vto ve ia deterrentiat that's to the lords. but the thing here is vto ve ia deterrent because for to be a deterrent because the wants to deter the government wants to deter people crossing the people from crossing the channel. well, you know, i don't think there are many viewers watching now who would watching this now who would think these people a think offering these people a job they get here is much job when they get here is much of a deterrent? so that's point number one. point number two is most these will most of these people will have been on the, uh, the been employed on the, uh, the bafis been employed on the, uh, the basis that they only get paid 80% of what a british worker would get paid. so, for example, if in in sectors that are looking for low skilled workers , looking for low skilled workers, such as the care industry and so on, they are being paid 80% less than a british worker. they are
4:26 pm
pricing people, british workers out of the market. and the third thing is, you know, as has already been said, this is a massive marketing opportunity for the people's smugglers. you know, it is absolutely mind boggung know, it is absolutely mind boggling stupid that the home office has gone down this route and as for people saying they're contributing , hold on. actually, contributing, hold on. actually, henry . henry. >> yeah, there will have been there for a year. so this is for people who've been there for about a year , and we've been about a year, and we've been paying about a year, and we've been paying now . this is paying for them now. this is like we're paying how much? 8 million a day for these people , million a day for these people, and they're not contributing at all. nothing much is going to change. so surely it's better to get out of them get get money out of them and get them making money them working and making money than paying for them. henry, is that no, because that not better? no no, because actually, all all of the all of the actual analysis shows that they actually on net cost us money. >> so you're attracting more over that are costing us money. but but that aside, i mean, if you are um, the reason that
4:27 pm
they're here for so long and rishi sunak has told us that the backlog was cleared, it hasn't been cleared . there's still been cleared. there's still about 100,000 people in the backlog . um, but the problem is backlog. um, but the problem is the resourcing of the staff that are processing these people. they're only for here a year plus, because we can't turn it around any quicker. well, perhaps they could use some of these. >> perhaps they could use some of these channel migrants to process go process their claims. let's go to benedict spence. >> well, no , no, i >> well, well, no, no, i wouldn't surprise me. it really wouldn't. >> benedict spence , we're going >> benedict spence, we're going to create a sort of a kapo system where these ones get special treatment. >> they can stay as long as they deport their fellow fellow asylum seekers, i think. i mean, the problem is not bad idea. >> actually, this isn't going to be a debate, afraid. >> actually, this isn't going to be and a debate, afraid. >> actually, this isn't going to be and the a debate, afraid. >> actually, this isn't going to be and the other ate, afraid. >> actually, this isn't going to be and the other three, afraid. >> actually, this isn't going to be and the other three, uh, raid. >> and the other three, uh, members of this panel have all said points for me. said many of my points for me. uh, that, but uh, so sorry about that, but i do think that there's, um , i do think that there's, um, i think actually something think that actually something we've not touched because we've not touched upon because we've not touched upon because we've just about we've touched upon just about everything, is that actually
4:28 pm
this is rather cruel. think , this is rather cruel. i think, to people who are claiming asylum in this country , um, who asylum in this country, um, who have no real idea what the time line might be under which they may or may not be sent back , and may or may not be sent back, and they're told, well, whilst you're here, you can do this little bit of labour, you can do this and who maybe this work. and who knows, maybe it's to them as a sort of a it's sold to them as a sort of a well, actually help well, this might actually help your show your case. maybe if you show that prepared on that you're to prepared work on subsistence wages in very poor accommodation, maybe, maybe there's favour and there's work in your favour and then some point then who knows, at some point maybe get to stay and maybe you get to stay and they're be consistently they're going to be consistently working whole time, not working this whole time, not knowing the going knowing if the rug is going to be out under be sort of pulled out from under their well, their feet as a sort of well, you're actually of any value their feet as a sort of well, yo us. actually of any value their feet as a sort of well, yo us. you're tually of any value their feet as a sort of well, yo us. you're just .y of any value their feet as a sort of well, yo us. you're just here any value their feet as a sort of well, yo us. you're just here anywork e to us. you're just here to work very dirt poor conditions and maybe we send you home, maybe we don't. i think that's don't. i don't think that that's the best way of dealing with it. i think henry is saying is i think what henry is saying is correct, actually, that this i think what henry is saying is c(wayt, actually, that this i think what henry is saying is away ofictually, that this i think what henry is saying is away of theally, that this i think what henry is saying is away of the government; i think what henry is saying is away of the government being a way of the government being able there's a way of the government being able value there's a way of the government being able value being there's a way of the government being able value being intoere's a way of the government being able value being into the some value being put into the system what system by these people. and what the doesn't have the government then doesn't have to them very to do is process them very quickly them, which quickly and say to them, which can difficult , yes, can be rather difficult, yes, you're going stay we need you're going to stay and we need to no, you're
4:29 pm
to pay for you or no, you're not, sending home. not, and we're sending you home. that sort thing that should be the sort of thing that is completed within a matter simply matter of weeks. and it simply isn't. being out of isn't. it's being drawn out of a month people false hope. month giving people false hope. if you then allow them to enter the workforce to then perhaps have that taken away from them. >> oh, poor things , tonya, what >> oh, poor things, tonya, what is doing ? is this really doing? >> the >> is highlighting the incompetence of the government. that's all it's doing. it's a nightmare we nightmare for rishi because we hadnt nightmare for rishi because we hadn't looked at this. and hadn't even looked at this. and now realising that now everyone's realising that people for over a year , people are here for over a year, just, free just, you know, getting free board , getting free board, getting free accommodation, a mess of accommodation, making a mess of our communities. um, so this is a big, big nightmare for rishi and really what it should be taking our minds back to is the fact that have an incompetent fact that we have an incompetent government. i mean, not that i think would any better government. i mean, not that i thiall, would any better government. i mean, not that i thiall, but would any better government. i mean, not that i thiall, but the 'ould any better government. i mean, not that i thiall, but the bigj any better government. i mean, not that i thiall, but the big problem better government. i mean, not that i thiall, but the big problem istter at all, but the big problem is let's get people in and out within a month. that's what they should arrive in the country and they staying they should be either staying or out that's what out within a month. that's what needs to be done. >> well, no reason why needs to be done. >> 'can't no reason why needs to be done. >> 'can't screen no reason why needs to be done. >> 'can't screen them ason why needs to be done. >> 'can't screen them asyyou've you can't screen them if you've got the resources, them got the resources, screen them immediately. and the thing immediately. and the other thing is , it's not just an is, it's not just an assumption as to whether or they'd
4:30 pm
as to whether or not they'd be able but actually you able to stay, but actually you will if they appeal against will find if they appeal against removal, then the argument will be that they've got settled life here. employment, here. they've got employment, they've , they've got accommodation, they've got accommodation, they've maybe if they've made friends. maybe if they've made friends. maybe if they relationships and they got into relationships and so and that will be an so on, and that will be an obstacle removing anyway obstacle to removing them anyway . shouldn't . people who shouldn't have been here in the first place. >> i don't think that we should be for legal challenges. be paying for legal challenges. i are , if i think that if you are, if you're have a legal you're going to have a legal challenge, pay for challenge, you have to pay for it gibb no, no, it yourself. nick gibb no, no, i just the point that just make the point that actually, system actually, the way the system would be constituted, this would be constituted, um, this way, it actually offers , in my way, it actually offers, in my view, some illegal migrants, the opportunity to accumulate wealth, which is quite astonishing because many law abiding british citizens simply do not have the opportunity to do not have the opportunity to do that because they're in very precarious, low paid , um, precarious, low paid, um, sections of the labour market. >> i said, have >> and as i said, they have significant . >> and as i said, they have significant. housing and food costs. so along with the fact that it's a pull factor, i think that it's a pull factor, i think that there's a grave injustice at here. that there's a grave injustice at okay.are. that there's a grave injustice at okay. well, i want a yes or >> okay. well, i want a yes or no from so i'm going to no from you. so i'm going to start bolton start with you. henry bolton should, , they they

4:41 pm
seems that. seems to me that. >> but what about the argument that to invite that this is a draw to invite more people to come do that? more people to come and do that? you thinking, oh, i'm you might be thinking, oh, i'm going to money them, going to get money from them, but end going but in the end you're going to have people in but in the end you're going to havthe people in but in the end you're going to havthe jobs. people in but in the end you're going to hav i 1e jobs. people in but in the end you're going to havi thinks. people in but in the end you're going to havi think it people in but in the end you're going to havi think it would)le in but in the end you're going to havi think it would be in but in the end you're going to havi think it would be of n >> i think it would be more of a draw was from day one. draw if it was from day one. the thing a year, thing is, is it after a year, you've year where you're you've had a year where you're not allowed work, not not allowed to work, you're not allowed to earn any money where you're £48.13 allowance you're on the £48.13 allowance now. and of course, they now. and of course, when they when they're working, they, they have to they don't get the £48.13 allowance and they can stay accommodation, stay in the accommodation, but they towards stay in the accommodation, but theyaccommodation towards stay in the accommodation, but theyaccommodation from )wards stay in the accommodation, but theyaccommodation from theirs stay in the accommodation, but theyacc so modation from theirs stay in the accommodation, but theyacc so moleast1 from theirs stay in the accommodation, but theyacc so moleast the m theirs wages. so at least the government some of wages. so at least the gov moneyt some of wages. so at least the gov money back. some of the money back. >> yes. but what is the government's get government's incentive to get them they they them processed if they know they can exactly. we've already got 94,000 >> we've already got 94,000 asylum seekers still awaiting to be processed. i'm sorry , who is be processed. i'm sorry, who is doing the safety checks here? we don't know where they're from. we know they throw away their official papers when some arrive. know their arrive. we don't know their background. they could be terrorists . they could be terrorists. they could be criminals. i don't want them looking after my mother . if looking after my mother. if they're. if in care, would they're. if she's in care, would you you? and why hasn't you. would you? and why hasn't this commonly known? i do this been commonly known? i do know this. know about this. >> no, no, no, no.
4:42 pm
>> terrorist looking after our parents. well it could happen, but probably wouldn't come but they probably wouldn't come down the migrant route. these terrorists. because terrorists. probably because they terrorists. probably because the and have choice >> and they have the choice about well. it's about working as well. so it's people actually to people who are actually want to work around , work rather than hanging around, not going to be a terrorist because, you know, you're already country, you'd go already in the country, you'd go and you wouldn't and be a terrorist. you wouldn't go and work in a care home at the time. the same time. >> then. >> that's all right then. >> that's all right then. >> i mean, it's not >> but no, no, i mean, it's not comforting we we comforting cause we should we should be processing the applications so much faster. but >> they should. applications so much faster. but >> that's they should. applications so much faster. but >> that's what they should. applications so much faster. but >> that's what the hey should. applications so much faster. but >> that's what the problem ld. applications so much faster. but >> that's what the problem is and that's what the problem is with you know, migrants waiting oven over, you know, two years some to actually processed is to be actually processed is absolutely disgusting. and the thing is though, it's shortening our own labour because they , our own labour because they, they, they're being halved. i spoke to a builder friend of mine and he's really disgusted with this because he said , who's with this because he said, who's going know, employ me going to, you know, employ me when someone will do it for much cheaper? >> he did point that out that it will undercut the actual labour market. again , you up market. so again, you end up with thing with with the same thing you had with the eu , except for these are the eu, except for these are asylum seekers. why asylum seekers. now that's why i think think
4:43 pm
think it's i mean, i think firstly this is absolutely right. >> it's outrageous. the government this government has been keeping this quiet, literally only freedom of information quiet, literally only freedom of infornthe)n quiet, literally only freedom of infornthe telegraph this week think the telegraph this week and today, yesterday, in fact, he covered them. but what we need to know is that they're going into into areas of the economy where they're going going into into areas of the ecyundercut. ere they're going to undercut. >> particularly >> so particularly in construction , construction is construction, construction is more danger. >> i think agriculture they >> i think the agriculture they should be focussed on where we've are we've seen that there are literally huge shortages because they can't get people to pick things mess . things is a shambolic mess. >> the home is >> the home office is a shambolic issue . that you shambolic issue. that and you know got stick know what, you've got to stick by coming by the rules. people are coming over illegally . that means over here illegally. that means they're criminals . over here illegally. that means they're criminals. i'm sorry. the needs to get the government needs to get themselves into action. it's all all talk and waffle. no action and process. but they've come up with some action. >> though the thing is, though, it seems that every time they're damned they're damned if they do, they're damned if they do, they're damned time damned if they don't. every time they come up with one plan that would us money would potentially save us money in hotel bills in terms of their hotel bills and everyone and all the then everyone saying, , they can't do saying, oh no, they can't do that. so what would you have them doing? because haven't them doing? because we haven't got the solution to the processing more quickly. >> who are. >> i don't know who they are. >> i don't know who they are. >> for
4:44 pm
>> so you just keep paying for them. first, the first order >> in the first, the first order of any government is to look after people. this after its own people. yeah. this is looked after. and is not being looked after. and it's we're paying it's not right that we're paying 8 a day in hotels. well, 8 million a day in hotels. well, that's i would that's why some of us, i would say they're send say if they're working to send them uk territories them back to the uk territories like georgia, falkland like south georgia, the falkland , do a detention centre and get them processed within days. and send them back. and if they if they're legitimately in a fleeing from a torn country, fleeing from a war torn country, which isn't france, by the way , which isn't france, by the way, then stay. but then yes, let them stay. but otherwise falklands. >> don't what the >> i don't know what the population the falklands population of in the falklands of that, they of places like that, but they probably wouldn't . how many? of places like that, but they proia bly wouldn't . how many? of places like that, but they proia bly ithousand, how many? of places like that, but they proia bly ithousand, iow many? of places like that, but they proia bly ithousand, i think. ny? it's a few thousand, i think. >> , 80,000. >> yeah, 80,000. >> yeah, 80,000. >> would, would, >> well they would, they would, they overrun they would, they would overrun they would, they would overrun the falklands . the falklands. >> but. >> but. >> and the people in the falklands want them >> and the people in the falklieither. want them there either. >> are uk >> there are other uk territories could go to it. territories they could go to it. we to do something . this we need to do something. this isn't the right solution. and i know because i've had so many calls as soon this broke calls as soon as this news broke saying number one, they didn't know mps didn't know know about it. mps didn't know about this and people are seriously worried and i can totally understand sending a lot of questions about it.

12. i'm going to start with you, tom. if you could give us a little bit of background as to why we are pursuing this net zero, it all mean? zero, what does it all mean? because may not zero, what does it all mean? becaiunderstand may not zero, what does it all mean? becaiunderstand it may not zero, what does it all mean? becaiunderstand it yet. fay not zero, what does it all mean? becaiunderstand it yet. wellot fully understand it yet. well all it means avoiding dangerous climate change, which will destroy our economy . destroy our economy. >> but even more urgently than that, it means being part of the, uh, a really much more smart and efficient, uh, road to economic prosperity in the future . so that's what it's future. so that's what it's about. it's about doing things better as well as making things safer . safer. >> is the suffering, though really ? do the ends justify the really? do the ends justify the means? we're looking at job losses at and will and having to rely on foreign providers for really strong steel . really strong steel. >> well, well , we've got two >> well, well, we've got two issues here. >> should we not be, should we avoid, uh, relying on others pieces of steel? >> absolutely . >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> but that's an economic issue . >> but that's an economic issue. that's not an environmental issue. well it is really, because if you're transport
5:25 pm
steel, then aren't you going to be probably going to be using a lot of carbon to do that, aren't you or. >> no , i'm agreeing >> no, i'm agreeing with you. >> no, i'm agreeing with you. >> i'm agreeing with you. >> sorry. i'm agreeing with you. yeah. think really good yeah. i think it's a really good idea be able to have idea for us to be able to have our own production of strong steel i that's absolutely steel. i think that's absolutely right. that. that's not why right. but that. that's not why we're shutting down port talbot. we're talbot we're shutting down port talbot because as one of big because as one of the big refineries is at the end of its life. and another one of the, uh, smelters there is, uh, needs to be replaced so that we can meet our commitments under climate change. but the real primary reason we're shutting it down is because the government has decided it doesn't want to go supporting that tata steel go on supporting that tata steel to invest in steel in this country, which it's been doing for the last 20 or 30 years. >> so i think to me that sounds like a very bad idea, but let's see what, uh, donald nana i'm not sure what you think's a bad idea. >> well , well, no, i idea. >> well, well, no, i think it's a bad idea having to rely on foreign providers to make. >> really? i agree with it. yes that's that's what i'm saying.
5:26 pm
that's what a bad ideas. i'm just telling you. you said you're sure. you're not sure. >> produce the >> clean. let's produce the clean green steel that we know how do that the markets in how to do that the markets in the future are going to want. >> going take >> we're not going to take old coal produce steel. coal fired, uh, produce steel. >> that's . now let's get on with >> that's. now let's get on with investing in producing. >> i understand i >> i understand it as i understand it, this kind of >> i understand it as i unde|thatd it, this kind of >> i understand it as i unde|that it t, this kind of >> i understand it as i unde|that it willis kind of >> i understand it as i unde|that it will produce yf steel that it will produce wouldn't do the, wouldn't be be able to do the, you know, the solid strong steel. it's a weaker steel. brian. if could confirm brian. cat, if you could confirm what steel is it? whoa what kind of steel is it? whoa whoa whoa whoa. let me ask . i'm whoa whoa whoa. let me ask. i'm going to go to brian. i'll come back brian. cat, i mean, back to you. brian. cat, i mean, am i right? am i wrong ? am i right? am i wrong? >> exactly sure what >> i'm not exactly sure what steel's they are making. >> certainly if they're making high carbon steels, they have to be coking coal as be made with coking coal as we've discussed before we've discussed this before with the mine, if you the cumbrian mine, if you remember . remember. >> um, it's just completely bonkers to take steel production away from the uk. if you're going to shut it down because it's come to the end of its useful life for instance, um, then you need to have something there to replace it with, um,
5:27 pm
and for a large developed economy, not to have of steel manufacturing , which economy, not to have of steel manufacturing, which is inherently energy intensive , inherently energy intensive, doesn't it? where does the electricity come from? tell me. i'm quite interested to know that. then you're not a developed economy anymore . developed economy anymore. >> you need cheap, plentiful energy available to make things like . like steel. >> so what's the difference between steel that we've created within this electric furnace or whatever it is, and steel that we need normally make with coking coal , as you said? what coking coal, as you said? what what's the difference ? it's uh. what's the difference? it's uh. >> are you asking me? >> are you asking me? >> asking? >> asking? >> brian? brian? >> brian? brian? >> yeah . the short answer to >> yeah. the short answer to thatis >> yeah. the short answer to that is i don't have enough details to answer your question properly. what i do know is the only way you make the high carbon steel that i'm aware of is that you make it using coal and the actual coking coal is part of the chemical reaction. the carbon from the coking coal goes into the steel. and it's quite a craft process as far. i
5:28 pm
mean, obviously there's they do measurements, but basically it's taken a long time to figure out how to make high carbon steel. and that's way do i and that's the way you do it i don't and that's the way you do it i dor okay and that's the way you do it i dorokay , okay. i've not heard of >> okay, okay. i've not heard of an electrically .uk mccarthy. is this a good idea ? what's this a good idea? what's happening? yeah, it's a good idea. >> um, thomas is correct. >> um, thomas is correct. >> the reason why the plant has closed has come to the end of its economic life. it's losing £1 million a day. that's 360 million a year. and that's why it's closing. the actual fact that we're investing in an electric arc plant there means that it's the green steel. but actually will save those jobs. those jobs will go completely. if we didn't invest in this green steel of the government's investing in which, you know, i'm a critic of the government, often, but will them often, but i will praise them for however and for doing this. however and i what you're right is the other type steel that's made from type of steel that's made from scrap . scrap. >> sorry, from from scratch. >> sorry, from from scratch. >> we will be making that. >> we will not be making that. and we what we should doing and we what we should be doing is the swedes doing is that the swedes started doing this in 2021, making it using
5:29 pm
green hydrogen is what you use. making steel from scratch. >> and what we're doing in the united kingdom, we're wasting £1 billion of electricity every yean billion of electricity every year, dumping the excess wind energy, which should be going to making green hydrogen to form our steel. >> and that's what we now need to do going forward. but the other point that's interesting to this plant in wales to me about this plant in wales is that currently nana, we export nearly all of our scrap steel . we export it to, to the steel. we export it to, to the european union. they melted it, they refine it, and we re—import it back here. and that will stop . we will stop exporting our scrap steel and we will melt it in in wales, creating those green jobs i see. >> so that's a positive. >> so that's a positive. >> so that's the positive. >> so that's the positive. >> but then why is there such a hoo ha about this? is it that people don't understand that or why is there such a energy against this? people are furious about about this. has anyone got any reason why? >> is the reason why? well .uk is right in an important point
5:30 pm
here that steel you make from the furnace that's proposed to be, uh, developed there is not the primary steel that you need for doing all the big structural things. >> the shipbuilding , all the. >> the shipbuilding, all the. yeah, big things . but what yeah, big things. but what nonaka's also saying is quite important, which i think i think we weren't being told the correct before . you can you can correct before. you can you can make that kind of steel without using coking coal to do it. make that kind of steel without using coking coal to do it . you using coking coal to do it. you make it by using hydrogen in order to create the reduction of the iron ore to steel . that's the iron ore to steel. that's you use hydrogen instead. now we currently are throw away about half £1 billion worth a year of electricity from the north sea, because we haven't built the links to get it to the south. but you could use that electricity to electrolyse water, make hydrogen and make the steel. now you can't do it overnight . so you're not going overnight. so you're not going to do tomorrow. but what to do that tomorrow. but what you're in you're really missing out in here government a here is a government which has a strategy about how to make sure we're not producing steel
5:31 pm
we're not only producing steel for purposes , but also for our own purposes, but also steel that will be available and be sellable into, uh, growth markets in the future . markets in the future. >> mhm. but, but as you said about the infrastructure, if they're going to do that and make the tough steel that we need and hydrogen, you've need and using hydrogen, you've just said that there's no infrastructure really to do that just said that there's no infall. ructure really to do that just said that there's no infall. brian. really to do that just said that there's no infall. brian. cat lly to do that just said that there's no infall. brian. cat well do that just said that there's no infall. brian. cat well justthat just said that there's no infall. brian. cat well just i'm at all. brian. cat well just i'm very interested to know chemically how you're going to in one second. he's laughing . in one second. he's laughing. why are you laughing, tom? that's what i've taken from what you am wrong? you said. am i wrong? have i misinterpreted it? >> i said, right, i said sorry, i was saying i was very clear. >> we don't have the grid infrastructure to move the electricity from the, uh, offshore to shore. that's just because we've got a bad industrial policy and what you do. >> so i'm right, we don't have the infrastructure. i'm right. then. so what i we don't we don't. >> what about the electricity ? >> what about the electricity? >> what about the electricity? >> well, it's only that. >> well, it's only that. >> sorry. no no, what i was explaining to you was we have plenty of electricity that we're
5:32 pm
not using, that we could be using to make hydrogen . using to make hydrogen. actually, uh, in england, if england and wales in the south, if you like, if we invest in that infrastructure. and with that infrastructure. and with that hydrogen , we can reduce that hydrogen, we can reduce iron ore, which is iron oxide , iron ore, which is iron oxide, by taking the oxygen off, using hydrogen instead of carbon . hydrogen instead of carbon. >> and we have and my point was that you were saying that we don't have the facility to do that. right now. is that what you saying ? you were saying? >> that's exactly right. >> that's exactly right. >> because we don't. you're laughing. brian. final word to you. to you. 30s you. 30s brian, to you. 30s >> thank you. one. i'd like >> thank you. one. um, i'd like to how hydrogen to know how hydrogen molecules replace carbon molecules in the high steel, because it high carbon steel, because it just doesn't make any sense at all. and second village, you do the research , let it finish. the research, let it finish. >> let him finish . sorry. carry >> let him finish. sorry. carry on. brian, i'm not. >> i let them talk for long enough. >> the other point is, if you want to get plentiful energy available on demand, the only reason it's wasted is because it's developed. it's generated when wanted it when it's not wanted and it isn't generated is . what
5:33 pm
isn't generated when it is. what you to put more you need to do is to put more nuclear power on core grid, nuclear power on the core grid, not connect cables all over the environment . environment. >> well, this is a lot of people. listening may not be worth all sounds great, but worth this all sounds great, but a people understand worth this all sounds great, but a word people understand worth this all sounds great, but a word youyple understand worth this all sounds great, but a word youyple are understand worth this all sounds great, but a word youyple are saying.;tand worth this all sounds great, but a wit's youyple are saying.;tand worth this all sounds great, but a wit's veryple are saying.;tand worth this all sounds great, but a wit's very technical. aying.;tand >> it's very technical. so that's why i was trying to decipher make that decipher it, to make sure that people i was people understood what i was saying. listen , i've saying. okay, so listen, i've got to to the news. i talk to got to go to the news. i talk to you you've you guys for ages, okay? you've got they're going got 10s go because they're going to trouble quickly . to get me in trouble quickly. >> jobs. there are 43,000 >> 3000 jobs. there are 43,000 jobs in the renewable energy industry. big win for industry. it's a big win for british jobs. yeah, but they're not. >> those jobs aren't available now. that to the now. so you tell that to the 2800 people who've lost their jobs. . jobs. now that. >> you. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> listen, thank you so much to bnan >> listen, thank you so much to brian uh donald mccarthy. brian cat. uh donald mccarthy. and also tom burke. interesting, interesting , very technical. but interesting, very technical. but to me, all it sounds like is that you can't make strong that you can't make the strong kind need. and kind of steel that we need. and they're closing down the plant. that much me, that is pretty much that to me, that message there. that is the basic message there. you're . i'm nana akua. you're with me. i'm nana akua. this is gb news on tv, online and on digital coming up, and on digital radio coming up, it's the great british it's time for the great british debate asking, is debate this hour i'm asking, is the false

drop in the ocean of the costs. the public paying the public are paying for, deller unless china, deller says nana. unless china, india others reduce their india and others reduce their emissions time as emissions at the same time as britain, punishing britain, then we are punishing ourselves vain . and i'll just ourselves in vain. and i'll just read more jackie, read one more from jackie, she said. is imperative that we said. it is imperative that we keep quality keep and create our quality steel here in the uk. steel production here in the uk. we cannot importing it from we cannot be importing it from china. in power are china. the lot in power are insane. labour and god forbid the lib dems greens will see the lib dems or greens will see us off all this in coming up with the chancellor, jeremy hunt set a package set to release a package of pre—election cuts, i'm pre—election tax cuts, i'm asking should the conservatives cut inheritance tax income cut inheritance tax or income tax? plus my great british debate this hour i'm asking, is the move to net zero a false economy? get in touch gb views gb news. com

5:42 pm
hour. and i'm asking you basically, what are you think is the move to net zero a false economy ? because in the heart of economy? because in the heart of port talbot this is the steelworks. there is an industry, a steel industry. and this just industry, this isn't just some industry, it's the pulse of the it's actually the pulse of the town. provides the town. it provides the livelihoods for a significant portion of the community and we've recently had the announcement that 2500 could lose their jobs because tata steel , they're the guys who make steel, they're the guys who make that steel, have set a devastating blow to the town, and that they will be closing or changing the way make the changing the way they make the steel, which the steel, which means the repercussions beyond just repercussions extend beyond just job losses. they affect the entire local ecosystem from cafes , shops and everything else cafes, shops and everything else that's sort of woven into the fabnc that's sort of woven into the fabric the community. so it's fabric of the community. so it's time now the great british time now for the great british debate out, and i'm asking, time now for the great british dethea out, and i'm asking, time now for the great british dethe move out, and i'm asking, time now for the great british dethe move tot, and i'm asking, time now for the great british dethe move to net1d i'm asking, time now for the great british dethe move to net zeron asking, time now for the great british dethe move to net zeron false}, is the move to net zero a false economy? joining now , my economy? joining me now, my panel economy? joining me now, my panel, columnist panel, broadcaster and columnist lizzie cundy, also former labour adviser lizzie adviser matthew laza lizzie cundy. >> what do you think the mystery of net zero is now impossible to ignore? when we've seen what's happened to talbot . i mean, happened to port talbot. i mean, we were one of the pioneers of
5:43 pm
making steel . now we've got to making steel. now we've got to rely on on, on other produce and quite rightly, what you said. how is this going to help net zero. well, transport, steel and everything else . and when will everything else. and when will we learn that net zero is doing nothing but hurting our own economy? we are 1.1% in carbon emissions . why aren't we putting emissions. why aren't we putting all our energy into convincing countries like china who are in the 30s? america that is 24, india, that is 12. why aren't we doing that? and all it is doing is hurting us, and especially the most vulnerable and poorest. i mean, take for example, i was in wimbledon last week. the bus explodes with the electric bus. i couldn't believe it. and it's happening with cars. they're having to rebuild car parks because cars are too heavy because the cars are too heavy electric cars to hold them . electric cars to hold them. we're having to redo our bridges . this is honestly i'm sorry. we've got to look . at what this we've got to look. at what this really is about. and we're only
5:44 pm
hurting ourselves. >> but i will say this because when you talk, you offer a china and that. and india and people like that. the doing the problem is all we're doing is offsetting carbon. is we're offsetting our carbon. so we saying, so the reason why are we saying, oh, is because oh, we're only 1% is because it's recorded this it's1%that's recorded in this country. honest, country. but let's be honest, the in the room that the elephant in the room is that we are more than that, but we are using more than that, but we are using more than that, but we elsewhere. we are offsetting it elsewhere. they're doing they're producing, they're doing all the manufacturing. well, i think problem. think that's the key problem. >> mean, absolutely. >> i mean, yeah, absolutely. you're make you're just if you don't make anything, you don't you anything, you don't make you don't but don't use that much carbon. but if somebody else if you buy things, somebody else is carbon to make it. if you buy things, somebody else ishalf carbon to make it. if you buy things, somebody else ishalf agree carbon to make it. if you buy things, somebody else ishalf agree withon to make it. if you buy things, somebody else ishalf agree with lizzie.nake it. i half agree with lizzie. i mean, an absolute mean, this is an absolute tragedy talbot. one of tragedy for port talbot. one of my friends is from my very best friends is from just valley a small just up the valley in a small village. heart just up the valley in a small vill.ofe. heart just up the valley in a small vill.of that heart just up the valley in a small vill.of that community, ieart just up the valley in a small vill.of that community, but also out of that community, but also it will rip the heart of it will rip the heart out of our country's things country's capacity to do things that we need to do. because this , were the only major economy , we were the only major economy in world, you know. so no, in the world, you know. so no, in the world, you know. so no, in germany, france, um, you know, spain, the us will all be able to make virgin steel. we won't be able to do it. and this is stuff that you need to do is the stuff that you need to do to battleships, make to make battleships, to make cars. we're still and we're cars. and we're still and we're still, know, we're, you still, you know, and we're, you know when had know what, a week when we've had earlier the we've had earlier in the week, we've had
5:45 pm
we're told that going to we're told that we're going to be at war with russia within 20 years that years by nato, predicting that we instability with we know the instability with china and yet we're that china and yet we're saying that we're rely on others in we're going to rely on others in an unstable world. we're going to rely on others in adon't unstable world. we're going to rely on others in adon't think unstable world. we're going to rely on others in adon't think that1stable world. we're going to rely on others in adon't think that means world. we're going to rely on others in adon't think that means we 'ld. i don't think that means we shouldn't but shouldn't go to net zero, but we need sensibly . need to do it sensibly. >> is these three who >> this is what these three who i i just i don't i had on there, ijust i don't know, i just thought very rude. >> laughing. >> laughing. >> well they were well they thought they thought it was funny but they seem because seem to think it's funny because they couldn't get why someone like is simply asking them a like me is simply asking them a very straightforward question. they with all very straightforward question. thejwhatever, with all very straightforward question. thejwhatever, the with all very straightforward question. thejwhatever, the bottoml this whatever, but the bottom line is we need, as line is that we need, as you said, steel, the word said, and the steel, the word i was is was probably looking for is virgin but that is virgin steel. yes, but that is the neither of them the point. and neither of them mentioned richard mentioned it. not richard branson steel, but the steel first . first made. >> first made. >> steel first made. >> steel first made. >> proper steel . we need >> we need proper steel. we need to to make that we to be able to make so that we can make ships and aircraft and all and if we all the other stuff. and if we don't then in don't have that, then we're in trouble. own trouble. we need to have our own quality and quality virgin steel, and now we're relying countries we're relying on other countries and with and look what's happening with the were told be >> we were told to be self—sufficient , but we're not self—sufficient, but we're not listening. can you imagine in world have been world war ii, we would have been gone week ? how would gone within a week? how would you it? so they new spitfires? >> shapps . >> no, shapps. >> no, shapps. >> but nana, we've got, you
5:46 pm
