9:37 am
on interviews over the weekend saying, didn't saying, you know, we didn't have any when i was president. any wars when i was president. and he's got point because and he's got a point because sometimes the crazy, sometimes it takes the crazy, unhinged, unpredictable types like putin and kim jong un to be, uh, kept at bay by another crazy and unhinged and unpredictable donald trump, which the next president of the united states it might seem mad, but i think there's some truth in that. >> let's talk to somebody who's not crazy or unhinged or wasn't. >> last time i spoke to david davis. david, um, there is the fact we have got an election in the united states, and we've got one here. of course, it's going to into this rhetoric, to feed into this rhetoric, isn't it? >> it is. >> it is. >> but being said, i think >> but that being said, i think he's got a point, right. >> frank . >> to be frank. >> to be frank. >> i i >> to be frank. » |-. up >> to be frank. >> i i up about 4 or >> i mean, i woke up about 4 or 5 and thought exactly 5 weeks ago and thought exactly the same thing. >> something emphatic was trump's being trump's election on being announced on on winning announced on on or his winning of his primary of being announced the today announced on the today programme. i thought, programme. and i thought, you know , i've never in my know, i've never known in my aduu know, i've never known in my adult life a time when the world is unstable . and bear in is so unstable. and bear in mind, i've lived through cuba,
9:38 am
you crisis . i you know, the cuban crisis. i was at parachute school when the russians invaded czechoslovakia . russians invaded czechoslovakia. i thought i was gonna be dead in three i mean, you know, three months. i mean, you know, so there's been of times three months. i mean, you know, so the re's been of times three months. i mean, you know, so the re's b why are they bombing americans jordan ? i mean, americans in jordan? i mean, what's that got to do with it ? what's that got to do with it? is just to create instability ? >> 7- >> yes, i 7_ >> yes, i think em 5mm em >> yes, i think it is. i think i think iran basically wants the more instability. uh, the possible in the middle east because, you know, they're shias. they want to increase the arc of shia domination. bluntly we fed into that with the iraq war. the iraq war made it easier . and they're still turning this wheel to try and make more and more instability . now, that's more instability. now, that's got all sorts of dangerous knock
9:39 am
on effects, as you say in the election americans election year, how the americans going respond to this sort of going to respond to this sort of thing, going dial it thing, are they going to dial it up going to make it? up or are they going to make it? are to hit back? in are they going to hit back? in which case you can see it going up so think up another notch? so i think there's a point. and you're right about the, war hawks, right about the, the war hawks, the, you know, the sort of war horses like me, um, that they, they've got a point too. and their point is this that we see after the fall of the soviet union, we claimed quotes the peace dividend. i always think it's a terrible metaphor, actually, a better metaphor is we cancelled the insurance because we thought the house wouldn't burn down. know, wouldn't burn down. you know, unfortunately, do burn unfortunately, houses do burn down armies too small. down and our armies too small. the whole of nato is too small now to to stand up an attack. and what what stops wars? the other side thinking they won't win. you know, that's what stops. >> and david, we know they could be here already, but it was it's been widely reported. it was in the papers again that we can we're have american we're going to have american nuclear missiles our nuclear missiles back on our soil in suffolk anytime soon. far more powerful than the bombs
9:40 am
that were used to destroy nagasaki and hiroshima hundreds of times . of times. >> yes, absolutely. and but is that good? it probably is the right thing. i mean, look , right thing. i mean, look, during, you know, back when i was younger, when i, when i was involved in these things, you know, they , they used to talk know, they, they used to talk about mutually assured destruction. yeah. which caused the acronym for that is mad. yes and it seems mad. it feels mad, but it actually gave us 50 years of stability. yeah you know, after the second world war when everybody had these weapons . everybody had these weapons. terrible thing. but nobody's going the button going to press the button because, actually because, you know, actually world leaders, even if they're putin or trump, don't want to die themselves with the consequence of a nuclear war. they might men off. i they might send young men off. i mean of all sorts from mean, leaders of all sorts from putin to, i don't know, uh , you putin to, i don't know, uh, you pick your own. yeah. uh, prime minister, um, uh , do send young minister, um, uh, do send young men off to war, but it's not very risky for them. >> were you surprised this week by the reaction with this, uh, pubuc by the reaction with this, uh, public debate that started around the notion of
9:41 am
conscription of young people and how much pushback back there was and how much it kind of raised awareness of the fact that we've raised a whole generation to view our sort of empirical past as bad and as war as bad, and also this sense that we've got this generation of individuals who to some extent are a little bit narcissistic. the idea that they their they were selflessly give their life and murder somebody life or go and murder somebody else of a prime else on behalf of a prime minister, they don't feel connected to. it really brought it me . it into focus for me. >> yeah, but issue here is >> yeah, but the issue here is will we be forced to it? that's the problem. that we want to the problem. not that we want to do it. i there are nations do it. i mean, there are nations in world. sweden's in the world. i mean, sweden's just reinstated a form of conscription. it's social service and or conscription. switzerland has got conscription. neutral nations, by the way. up until recently , by the way. up until recently, anyway. and switzerland had a had a survey, i think last year in which 73% of their population wanted to continue with conscription. so it gives you a measure that but what we have to do is find another way of
9:42 am
improving our ability to defend ourselves . and what for me, that ourselves. and what for me, that means probably is, you know, massively increasing like ten times, increasing the number of reserve forces. yeah. >> because because they're depleted to the point of hardly having any know about 30,000, think. >> i mean, it's all 20,000. it's tiny . and you know, bear in mind tiny. and you know, bear in mind they only cost a quarter of what a regular soldier. they only cost a quarter of what a regular soldier . yeah. a regular soldier. yeah. >> but also diplomacy like this is the one thing that's missing from a lot of this conversation around is the around war at the moment is the idea given up on idea that we've given up on diplomacy countries . diplomacy with some countries. we now. we we just don't bother now. we just we've all just got a tool up and just make think up and just make them think we're than them. up and just make them think we' no, than them. up and just make them think we' no, i than them. up and just make them think we' no, i mean,|n them. up and just make them think we' no, i mean, diplomacy is >> no, i mean, diplomacy is important. i used to be a foreign office minister. diplomacy is massively important. got no important. but if you've got no force, you won't be able to exercise any diplomacy with the leaders russia , iran, china leaders of russia, iran, china and so on. i mean, you diplomatic activity will not stop the chinese invading taiwan . the fear of american response , . the fear of american response, the chinese invade taiwan. that's been the for case
9:43 am
decades. and you know, that's for me. that's the biggest frightening thing , you know, as frightening thing, you know, as a slightly bonkers leader of china , um, who's very ambitious , china, um, who's very ambitious, very ambitious. and of course, it's a tradition. it's been going on. they've claimed it ever since the creation. going on. they've claimed it ever sin i; the creation. going on. they've claimed it ever sini cane creation. going on. they've claimed it ever sini can hearition. going on. they've claimed it ever sini can hear our. going on. they've claimed it ever sini can hear our viewers at >> and i can hear our viewers at home well, they do, home going, well, if they do, it's to do with it's got nothing to do with us. that's with and taiwan. >> know, if you taiwan. >> know, >> you know, look, if you if your viewers at home perhaps should read the history of should read the, the history of the war, you know, the first world war, you know, which started with man being which started with one man being assassinated . yeah. archduke assassinated. yeah. archduke ferdinand across it. and ferdinand right across it. and even year before , uh, our even a year before, uh, our british statesman saying if there is a war, we don't need to get involved. well, look what happened. . one of the happened. yeah, look. one of the worst in history. worst wars in history. >> us, david. uh, >> stay with us, david. uh, moving things a little moving on to things a little closer moment. closer to home at the moment. disposable . they're to disposable vapes. they're set to be britain of be banned in britain as part of plans the in plans to tackle the rise in young to young people vaping and to protect health. young people vaping and to pro it's health. young people vaping and to pro it's part health. young people vaping and to pro it's part iprime >> it's part of the prime minister's he's minister's plans, which he's going about to going to talk about today to phase the tory phase out smoking. uh, the tory mp liz truss, she was our prime minister says it's minister for 49 days, says it's an unacceptable extension of the
9:44 am
nanny state. >> but data shows the number >> but new data shows the number of children vaping in the last three years has tripled. and joining is the director joining us now is the director of vaping industry of the uk vaping industry association , ian very good association, ian very good morning, dan marchant. good morning, dan marchant. good morning to you dan. um this is great news isn't it , that we're great news isn't it, that we're going to be banning these disposable vapes at the very least . least. >> uh, good morning . least. >> uh, good morning. i least. >> uh, good morning . i wouldn't >> uh, good morning. i wouldn't say it was great news personally. um, of course i think i should start out by saying that. of course, children shouldn't be getting their hands on any type of eight bit of disposable or refillable vape. um, that in itself is a problem. and of course, we'd support sensible measures , um, to sensible measures, um, to prevent youth access . but prevent youth access. but unfortunately, i think just an outright ban doesn't sort of take into the nuance of the situation and could have some really, really negative unintended consequence forces such as what? >> well , they are probably the
9:45 am
>> well, they are probably the most successful smoking cessation product that's on the market at the moment. >> and it's 1.5 market at the moment. >> and it's1.5 million adults currently using them, uh, to improve their health and actually research from uh, ucl came out last week , which says came out last week, which says that they're particularly worried it could cause i think 1.2 million adults to relapse back into smoking, which obviously be a public health disaster . obviously be a public health disaster. um, but also , we've disaster. um, but also, we've already got a really huge and thriving black market in the uk. um, and of course, without active , um, and effective active, um, and effective enforcement movement, there's a real danger that we'd be just pushing consumer fears. and unfortunately , children will unfortunately, children will also be able to use the black market, because if these people are willing to sell a legal product, unfortunately there's a big correlation that they're also willing to sell them to our kids, which is outrageous. >> dan they're already >> but dan, they're already using the disposable vapes. that's what we know. and of course, vaping has been to course, vaping has been great to try people off cigarettes try to woo people off cigarettes and also
9:46 am
and nicotine, but it's also drawing hundreds of thousands of young children into vaping in the first place. that is not good. it's a gateway to tobacco. it's a gateway to all sorts of other issues as well. >> no , it's absolutely not good. >> no, it's absolutely not good. but i don't think just banning the product is the solution. like i say, there's already a large black for market the disposable vapes. just saying that they're banned won't get rid of that . rid of that. >> okay, so here's the thing . >> okay, so here's the thing. >> okay, so here's the thing. >> well, what we've been, um, trying to engage the government with for years now, uh, is to introduce a retail licensing scheme, which actually would then create a huge amount of funding for trading standards to be able to go out and do proactive, enforced sort of the, you know, the age laws, because it's already illegal to sell these products to children. and so really , i think the outrage so really, i think the outrage needs to be focussed on the retailers , criminals who are, retailers, criminals who are, well , there's a solution to well, there's a solution to this, dan. >> there's a very, very easy
9:47 am
solution for this. if it is genuinely a medicinal products to help people quit smoking, it should prescription only. you should be prescription only. you should be prescription only. you should to maybe get it should be able to maybe get it from your pharmacist to make it easier , because can't an easier, because you can't get an appointment anyway . appointment with a gp anyway. pharmacists and gp's it on pharmacists and gp's get it on prescription do prescription and then it will do what you're about and it what you're talking about and it won't next won't be available next to the sweets shop the street. >> understand , but there's a >> i understand, but there's a few negative points with that one. i don't think your gp is going to be overly happy about having to give out 4.7 million. uh, appointed points to the current adults that are using vapes. it would be a huge strain on the nhs. you don't need a prescription to go and buy nicorette or gum or patches. you don't need a prescription to buy cigarettes . so actually we cigarettes. so actually we shouldn't be creating , uh, undue shouldn't be creating, uh, undue barriers to a smoker that is looking to switch because all we're going to do is exacerbate the problem of smoking, which, as we know , kills 220 people a as we know, kills 220 people a day in the uk . day in the uk. >> okay. thank you. dan. dan marchant , they're from the uk marchant, they're from the uk vaping industry association .

10:10 am
use human rights act, which use the human rights act, which is based european court is based on the european court of what i say of human rights. and what i say to is that is to people is that this is something have ruled something that we have not ruled out. thing out. it's not the first thing that want to do. we have that we want to do. we have other plans first, because there are many things that are in are many good things that are in the human rights act, and there are many rights which we have which we don't want to just, uh, make go we to make it go away. we have to think a to keep think about a plan to keep what's remove what's what's good and remove what's what's good and remove what's what's bad. so have to think what's bad. so we have to think about but about it very carefully. but i wouldn't out . wouldn't rule it out. >> joining now is immigration >> joining us now is immigration lawyer ivan samson. ivan samson, she quite clear there, the she was quite clear there, the trade secretary. she was talking about lawyers will step about lefty lawyers will step in. she means you . in. she means you. >> it's sad that it's the same language. i was hoping that, uh, the potential leaders that would take over this poisoned chalice that we have , it would have a that we have, it would have a plan of some sort and not play the same old blame game, blame me, blame other lawyers , blame me, blame other lawyers, blame the asylum seekers, blame the courts, blame the judges. but the only people that can take the only people that can take
10:11 am
the blame is the government, because they've got their hand on the rudder. they decide policies and the policies that they've put forward over the last, what, 2 or 3 years haven't worked and not a single policy has brought one asylum seeker to remove . look, in some numbers. remove. look, in some numbers. last year we had 29,000 small boat crossings . out of that, boat crossings. out of that, only 1200 people were actually removed . and that's irrespective removed. and that's irrespective of whether they were granted asylum or not. um, and the asylum or not. um, and the asylum grant rates are well over 50. so of those 29,000, 50% of those people are still most of them, almost entirely. all of them, almost entirely. all of them are still in the uk not being removed , not being being removed, not being detained. and we're having to look after them. >> so i'm looking but there's a problem. yeah. there is a problem, ivan. the problem for me images. me is looking at the images. if you're radio, me is looking at the images. if you images radio, me is looking at the images. if you images we radio, me is looking at the images. if you images we were radio, me is looking at the images. if you images we were seeing), me is looking at the images. if you images we were seeing to the images we were seeing to illustrate are illustrate this story are hundreds of men getting hundreds of young men getting off the small boat, hundreds of
10:12 am
young men who, in my view, either many of them are economic refugees , these economic refugees, these economic migrants who are coming here because they think we're a soft touch and we're the land of milk and honey. >> soft touch. look 50% >> we are a soft touch. look 50% of them are not genuine. we know that now. are the government removing them? no. in fact, worse than that , most of them worse than that, most of them don't even have any identity documents . that means i could documents. that means i could say i am mr whatever from whatever country , and there's no whatever country, and there's no way i can disprove that because the government don't even have effective methods of screening people's identity. so the home office , i'm sorry to say, this office, i'm sorry to say, this is in a total, utter shambles. they don't have any policy to deal with this problem. >> there must be a way though. surely ivan, of getting around that. so, for instance, if you arrive with no papers at all, then sorry, but you cannot have leave to remain. you just can't.
10:13 am
that that is straight away. now you could say, well, some of them have fled a war zone and you they've thousands them have fled a war zone and yo miles they've thousands them have fled a war zone and yo miles and ay've thousands them have fled a war zone and yo miles and ay've theiriousands of miles and maybe their passport their back of miles and maybe their passpori their back of miles and maybe their passpori don't their back of miles and maybe their passpori don't know, 1eir back of miles and maybe their passpori don't know, 1ei|they< pocket. i don't know, as they were afghanistan, were crossing afghanistan, perhaps in those perhaps, but maybe in those situations there must be ways of testing somebody , genuine testing somebody, genuine knowledge of whether they are from the country that they say that they are from, how it can't be that difficult , can it? well be that difficult, can it? well it can if you live on the borders and many of them do live on the borders. >> so they would have the knowledge need to about >> so they would have the knovpart|e need to about >> so they would have the knovpart|e the need to about >> so they would have the knovpart|e the world, 0 about >> so they would have the knovpart|e the world, aboutrt that part of the world, about the politics, the people, the language, the food. they they ask. there are several questions. they they and also their are very similar. their accents are very similar. so i'm afraid there are people who do through the system. who do slip through the system. um, look, the problem is that we need to have an effective policy . there is only one policy, and thatis . there is only one policy, and that is to do deals with other countries and if, if, if we don't have those bilats agreements as we did with albania , which has worked albania, which has worked because the numbers have come
10:14 am
down by 50. and the reason being because most of them were albanians . that's why the albanians. that's why the numbers have come down from 2022, from the 45, 50,000 down to the 25, 29,000 this year. last year , rather. last year, rather. >> so what are the barriers to those deals, in your opinion ? those deals, in your opinion? >> well, the biggest barrier is syria is in war. so many people are coming from syria, for example . uh, we're not in any example. uh, we're not in any we're not on good terms with syria. so the other solution is that everyone takes their fair share. and i agree with you , share. and i agree with you, bev. if you don't have identity documents , you should not be documents, you should not be allowed to step on our shores. it's simple as that, because it's as simple as that, because we don't know who you are . you we don't know who you are. you could a terrorist. you could could be a terrorist. you could be another be belong to hamas or another terrorist organisation. so i agree with you on that point. you know, i'm a lawyer defending human i do also human rights. what i do also defend our rights for our defend is our rights for our children and our people, not our people . here on that point, on people. here on that point, on that point, i'm finally what kemi badenoch said, you talk about our rights, people. kemi badenoch said, you talk abowher rights, people. kemi badenoch said, you talk abowhy doights, people. kemi badenoch said, you talk
10:15 am

10:29 am
things that you enjoy doing. so if someone who enjoys if you are someone who enjoys going to we've going to the pub, we've definitely been encouraging people to cindy going people to cindy yu going continue seeing your family and enjoy the alcohol free options that are available . so there are that are available. so there are more ever before . so um, more than ever before. so um, i've definitely enjoyed them. this january. it's a good thing to out do. to go out and do. >> some suggestion by >> is there some suggestion by some experts actually dry some experts that actually dry january is good for you, january is not good for you, joe. actually, you're better to have of days off the have a couple of days off the booze and just booze every week and just moderate your drinking steadily rather taking 31 days. it's rather than taking 31 days. it's a shock to the system, a bit of a shock to the system, particularly drink particularly if you drink as much turner. particularly if you drink as mu well turner. particularly if you drink as mu well , turner. particularly if you drink as mu well , this'urner. particularly if you drink as mu well , this science is quite >> well, this science is quite clear that actually having a 31 day break does work for a lot of people, so having a complete reset can be really, really beneficial. >> and actually having that complete break. our research finds that people who take part in dry january are more likely to drinking. uh have a to be drinking. uh have a healthier relationship with alcohol the alcohol six months down the line. they take part with line. so if they take part with alcohol uk , can lead line. so if they take part with alilong uk , can lead line. so if they take part with alilong terme uk , can lead line. so if they take part with alilong terme benefits can lead line. so if they take part with alilong terme benefits .an lead to long terme benefits. obviously if you're drinking it really , really heavy high rates really, really heavy high rates
10:30 am
it can be dangerous. if it can be dangerous. so if you're at of alcohol you're at risk of alcohol withdrawal, don't do go alcohol free completely . um it's really free completely. um it's really important to speak to a gp to get proper medical advice . so get proper medical advice. so there is caveat, but it's there is that caveat, but it's a good way to do it. and we encourage think about good way to do it. and we encortume think about good way to do it. and we encoitum changes think about good way to do it. and we encoitum changes asthink about good way to do it. and we encoitum changes as well. about long tum changes as well. >> i mean, i love your optimism that you think should that you think people should still pub and not have still go to the pub and not have a but particularly, let's a drink, but particularly, let's say, younger generation who say, the younger generation who aren't necessarily paying their mortgage bills and stuff, but they might have a little bit of disposable income. the students and they want to go out and stuff, they want to go out to want have to the pub, they want to have a few some few drinks, get some dutch courage find someone courage and maybe find someone that become their future that might become their future wife . and you, joe, wife or husband. and you, joe, are in danger of spoiling that very important part of our british culture. >> i think young people are probably more open to mixing and matching. i think that's what we see now. moderation is actually what young people want to do. there's cultural there's a there's a cultural shift for young people generally to less but not to want to drink less but not miss on those experiences. miss out on those experiences. so young people, i think, are
10:31 am
more likely to still want to go to the pub, still to to the pub, still want to experience in a hospitality settings, they be more settings, but they might be more likely to say, yeah, i still want to bit, i also likely to say, yeah, i still want to in bit, i also likely to say, yeah, i still want to in amongst i also likely to say, yeah, i still want to in amongst it i also likely to say, yeah, i still want to in amongst it have,so likely to say, yeah, i still want to in amongst it have, um, you know, an alcohol free drink in between. so i think it's great to hear about pubs that have option. we want have the option. we just want to have the option. we just want to have choice go out have the choice when we go out and about. >> is there as much profit >> adam, is there as much profit baked into alcohol free drink baked into an alcohol free drink as dnnk baked into an alcohol free drink as drink for you as as an alcoholic drink for you as as an alcoholic drink for you as a landlord ? a landlord? >> yeah, i mean , now all sorts >> yeah, i mean, now all sorts of companies are doing these ranges . so as i said earlier, ranges. so as i said earlier, you know, guinness , guinness was you know, guinness, guinness was a very popular one for me yesterday . um, you've got beers, yesterday. um, you've got beers, you've got spirits. they're all doing it. i mean, this started a good few years ago and it's just getting bigger and bigger. um, so obviously, you know, i would rather a group come in and you know, be on the beers all day. you know, i'm going to take more money way. i'll money that way. but, um, i'll take of customers in take any sort of customers in january, you know, that want to be out because you've got to remember got very little remember they've got very little money of

10:40 am
darlington this morning, they'll talk worrying darlington this morning, they'll talk in worrying darlington this morning, they'll talk in vaping worrying darlington this morning, they'll talk in vaping amongst/orrying darlington this morning, they'll talk in vaping amongst children. rise in vaping amongst children. now, shouldn't now, children shouldn't be vaping. them vaping. we don't want them to get addicted. don't get addicted. we still don't understand the full long terme get addicted. we still don't undersimpacts full long terme get addicted. we still don't undersimpacts of ll long terme get addicted. we still don't undersimpacts of vaping.terme get addicted. we still don't undersimpacts of vaping. so ne health impacts of vaping. so it's right that we take strong action to stamp this out. that's what we're doing. banning disposable , taking disposable vapes, taking powers to after the flavours, the to go after the flavours, the appearance , the packaging where appearance, the packaging where vapes are displayed in stores but also improving enforcement, making it easier to levy on the spot fines at retailers who shouldn't be selling to kids. taken together, it's a strong set of measures so we can improve our children's health. it's the right long thing it's the right long tum thing for are for the country. there are people who want to stop smoking, though, who believe actually disposable the best disposable vapes are the best way to stop smoking . way to stop people smoking. >> in fact, because it's easier, it's cheaper. will it be backfiring if more people end up getting hooked on tobacco by banning disposable vapes ? banning disposable vapes? >> well, it's important that we maintain vapes for adult smokers who want to stop, because for those people, it's obviously preferable that they vape rather than . that's why actually, than smoke. that's why actually, we're the swap to
10:41 am
we're pioneering the swap to stop campaign. a million people are being provided with kits to help them through the nhs , and help them through the nhs, and actually one of the first countries world to countries in the world to do a programme like it's also programme like that. it's also why balanced these why we have balanced these proposals, targeting the things that are particularly appealing to children . and that's what to children. and that's what this is about, protecting this is about, is protecting children's health. that's why the flavours , the the marketing, the flavours, the appearance, are appearance, where they are displayed what's displayed in stores and what's clear it's disposable vapes clear is it's disposable vapes that very that are behind the very worrying rise in children's vaping children disproportionately and overwhelmingly use disposable vapes. so i think we've got the balance supporting adult balance right. supporting adult smokers to stop smoking with our vape kits and dedicated support for them, but targeting all the things that make sure that children shouldn't have access to vapes who are part of what we're doing, obviously, is this generational smoking ban effectively to gradual smoking ban ? ban? >> your predecessor, liz truss, says this is part of the nanny state very unconservative thing to would say to that? >> well, i don't think there's anything unconcerned about caring that was that caring about so that was that

was prime minister. was the prime minister. >> a school in >> he set a school somewhere in the county durham, in darlington, durham. very good talking but what talking about smoking. but what i wondered if you might have more to say about. are we on the verge of world iii? verge of world war iii? >> hungry >> he's also very hungry right there, see there, of course, when you see him, because announced this him, because he announced this weekend he doesn't eat for weekend that he doesn't eat for 36 night or 36 hours from saturday night or something , sunday at something, it's sunday night at five, until dawn tomorrow. >> extraordinary. >> extraordinary. >> hoping he's >> um, and we're hoping he's going about the war. if going to talk about the war. if we hear something going to talk about the war. if we as hear something going to talk about the war. if we as well,r something going to talk about the war. if we as well,r someth we will that as well, we will. we will let he said. let you know what he said. because joe has blamed because joe biden has blamed iran the deaths of three us iran for the deaths of three us troops in this drone attack on america on an american base near jordan's . jordan's border with syria. >> the us president says we will respond while donald trump, you know, he he's reacting to the know, he is he's reacting to the attacks, we're on the attacks, saying we're on the bnnk attacks, saying we're on the brink world he brink of world war iii. is he right? to former head right? let's talk to former head of major of counter—terrorism major general chapman. general chip chapman. i hope he's chip the donald he's wrong. chip the donald trump , i he's wrong. chip the donald trump, i think he . he's wrong. chip the donald trump , i think he. is he's wrong. chip the donald trump, i think he . is wrong. trump, i think he. is wrong. >> um, he's wrong for a number of reasons. the first one is that the last attack , the in
10:43 am
that the last attack, the in march 20th, donald trump was prime minister at the. i'm sorry, president . at that time, sorry, president. at that time, there was a couple of retaliatory strikes then which happened on the 11th and 13th of march, 2020. that was it. this won't be a world war three. there will be retaliatory strikes , but i think they'll be strikes, but i think they'll be restrained. retaliation now, the other part of that is there could be overwhelming retaliation that notion, that hitter now , that is the sort of hitter now, that is the sort of linear type people , the notion linear type people, the notion of go big or go home. but we are in a retaliatory cycle . we're in a retaliatory cycle. we're not anywhere near world war iii. we're not going to be defined by scale, intensity, resource , scale, intensity, resource, commitment and aims, which would be indicative of world war iii. >> just explain to us, chip, why these why these american soldiers are in jordan? why are they there and why would they be they there and why would they be the target via a drone and iran are now rowing back and saying , are now rowing back and saying, actually, they want nothing to
10:44 am
do with it . at do with it. at >> well, i think iran were something to do with it. you've got to the region on the other side october 22nd, in jordan. it's really at the intersection of three countries that is iraq , of three countries that is iraq, syria and jordan . and in that syria and jordan. and in that area, there's a big, uh, us base al—tanf , which, uh, overall, the al—tanf, which, uh, overall, the american commitment in syria is 900. in iraq , it's 2500. they 900. in iraq, it's 2500. they really have three aims. the first one is why they're in iraq . and, uh, syria is to defeat isis. uh, that is the same thing as the uk commitment under operation shader. as the uk commitment under operation shader . the second operation shader. the second thing is to train , advise and thing is to train, advise and assist the iraqi and jordanian forces in that first mission. and the third one is to counter iran, iranian influence in syria and the tpmf base. the area around tower 22 where this occurred is on a significant border crossing . the al—waleed border crossing. the al—waleed crossing, which is the route from baghdad to damascus, where,
10:45 am
for example, the irgc , the for example, the irgc, the islamic revolutionary guard corps , uh, supply hezbollah and corps, uh, supply hezbollah and therefore, uh, threaten israel. it is true that the attacks have gone up since the 17th of october. there have been 160 against american forces. but i see this as part of this sort of persistent twilight war, which has been exacerbated by the israeli gaza conflict . israeli gaza conflict. >> we know, don't we, though, chip? there's an american election year. so biden has election this year. so biden has said he will respond he will said he will respond and he will respond, because he'll said he will respond and he will resworried because he'll said he will respond and he will resworried what because he'll said he will respond and he will resworried what brepublicanl be worried what his republican opponent will say, how proportionate should the response be? and what form should it . take? should it. take? >> yeah, i think the political space does diminish forjoe space does diminish for joe biden . and what i think they biden. and what i think they will do is go for either a high value target, as in a number of individuals from the irgc or high value facilities . now, high value facilities. now, where might that be? i don't think it will be in iran. it will be in syria or iraq. we saw the israelis, um, take out five
10:46 am
irgc in an airstrike in damascus on the 20th of january. they'll be looking for those sort of people. so if you go back to that 2020 example that i gave , that 2020 example that i gave, they did an airstrike on a place called bukamal , uh, in eastern called bukamal, uh, in eastern syria that has already been ordered to temporarily evacuate because of the fear of us retaliation . i think you need retaliation. i think you need a target. which is better than that for the for this to be credible from a us side. >> all right. thank you. chip. major general chip chapman there being, i think, a little calm and reassuring that we're not necessarily heading emma woolf and matthew laza are with us here in the studio . um, and you here in the studio. um, and you know what? when i think about joe biden being at the helm of america, i do feel slightly concerned, particularly this new footage emerged this weekend that to ask yourself, does this look like a man who is in control his faculties, control of his faculties, never mind red buttons, the beer brewed it used to make brewed here, it is used to make the brew beer in this refinery.

11:10 am
leaves, someone like her will be a definite one to watch. um, yeah. a definite one to watch. um, yeah . i thought she made good yeah. i thought she made good points about the echr from the tory. right. they would be quite pleased by hearing sarah pleased by hearing that sarah dines is a former home secretary, former home office minister says today today telegraph. we need to stop taking the knee in front of the echr . the pm rishi sunak says echr. the pm rishi sunak says he's going to stop listening to foreign courts. you won't be pushed foreign courts . pushed around by foreign courts. critics will say the echr critics will say that the echr is not foreign have is not foreign because we have a stake but it is based in stake in it. but it is based in strasbourg. the point is strasbourg. but the point is that i think echr withdrawal is going be an active issue for going to be an active issue for the next when the the next manifesto when the election happens , probably in november. all right. >> all right. >> all right. >> that's political. our political editor, christopher hope, the with us is hope, in the studio with us is tory peer lord bailey. shaun bailey. sean, um , it is going to bailey. sean, um, it is going to be a big issue now, this european court , um, because who european court, um, because who governs britain? is it us and our own judiciary rather than i mean, we do have a stake in the court, but we're one of 46
11:11 am
countries in that european court . we don't even know the nationality of the judge who blocked flight. blocked that rwanda flight. i actually think it's been a big issue whole issue since we had the whole brexit debate. >> people voted to leave >> many people voted to leave because lack of political because of the lack of political control, legal control we have over our own goings on. >> i certainly was a leader and i actually concerned i actually was more concerned about than the about the court than the financial because think financial thing, because i think certain things are worth paying for freedom, your for and your your freedom, your your, for and your your freedom, your your , your ability govern your, your ability to govern yourself is very important. >> but the most important thing about this, i think other european nations going to european nations are going to look at what happens britain look at what happens to britain and navigate this. and how we navigate this. >> germany , parts of >> france, germany, parts of eastern europe are having huge problems with immigration as well. if the court seen well. and if the court is seen as the gateway to letting people in you not being able to in and you not being able to deal situation, people deal with that situation, people could out. italy could follow us out. italy having issue as having the same issue as well. so think it's on the so i actually think it's on the european to come into european courts to come into direction of politics, not politics to placate them. >> i don't why need >> i don't know why we need a european to tell us what european court to tell us what to got one of the to do. we've got one of the finest world. to do. we've got one of the finescan't world. to do. we've got one of the fines can't they world. to do. we've got one of the finescan't they be world. to do. we've got one of the finescan't they be trustedirld. to do. we've got one of the finescan't they be trusted ?d. to do. we've got one of the finescan't they be trusted ? and why can't they be trusted? and our judiciary so fine
11:12 am
why can't they be trusted? and ourjudiciary so fine ? remote our judiciary so fine? remote rewrote lion's share of the rewrote the lion's share of the rules that echr operates under, and i do think it does trouble your political legitimacy . your political legitimacy. >> if you cannot change something in parliament and it become law without someone outside of the country. um accepting that i think we need to have a look at that and that transfer power to europe was transfer of power to europe was one the reasons many people one of the reasons many people voted or voted to leave in brexit. and you at if brexit. and if you look at if you speak italians, they you speak to italians, they feel the it. so did the the same about it. so did the germans. the same about it. so did the germanissue when >> the issue is when your country facing something >> the issue is when your cou court facing something >> the issue is when your cou court makes something >> the issue is when your cou court makes itomething >> the issue is when your cou court makes it difficult, the court makes it difficult, that's when becomes that's when it becomes a political for us here political issue for us here right it's very political . right now, it's very political. >> um, this bill has got the second reading, of in second reading, of course, in the later today. the house of lords later today. >> going to be >> sean, what are going to be the this ? the sticking points with this? >> well, the first sticking point is that there's 71 speakers, be awful long debate. >> look , some people are against >> look, some people are against this because they think legally it's going to be tricky. other people against this because it's purely political . you've got purely political. you've got some in the middle who are a little bit worried how little bit worried about how we treat and how we look treat people and how we look internationally. and my response
11:13 am
to centre group would to the centre group would be, well everybody well, everybody else internationally very internationally does a very similar dutch looked similar thing. the dutch looked at this, the swedish looked at this. the australians this , this. the australians do this, the un send people to rwanda. so the un send people to rwanda. so the question is why can't we? but i think the real issue here, people might not like it, but the lords is doing its job properly because it is to scrutinise . imagine you're in scrutinise. imagine you're in favour this . the lords needs favour of this. the lords needs to work out how it could be the strongest bill. it can be, to make sure it isn't just torn apart and up apart in court and we end up with no no taking off and with no no planes taking off and they're talking about debating delaying um , lord, he's he's >> i saw, um, lord, he's he's a lib dem peer, former chief executive of the lib dems, writing in the ft last week saying under parliamentary law, we can delay this for 12 months. there outrage . there will be outrage. >> so he technically that's correct, but i think you're right. would outrage . right. there would be outrage. but real reason would. but the real reason would. >> was but >> renard yeah. so it was but but what lord renard and everybody accept the everybody else should accept the lords job is not to frustrate the lords job is to is to mediate is to look at. >> it's to screw. screw
11:14 am
scrutinise to improve. and scrutinise and to improve. and he to admit people on the he has to admit people on the labour well labour benches as well have to admit is pure politics. the admit this is pure politics. the reason they're not talking about stopping know in stopping because they know in order this, they just order to wreck this, they just need if they want order to wreck this, they just ne play if they want order to wreck this, they just ne play that if they want order to wreck this, they just ne play that game, if they want order to wreck this, they just ne play that game, they ey want to play that game, they then risk some point this being risk at some point this being played their side of the played against their side of the political violence. >> of course also >> well, of course they also then allow sunak to rishi then allow rishi sunak to rishi sunak rishi the hook sunak rishi sunak off the hook because say , well, i was because he can say, well, i was going to stop the boats as per my five pledges, but i was thwarted by the lib dem lords and by the labour lords. >> and he would correct . and >> and he would be correct. and let's be clear, he could already say every time the say that because every time the government made some attempt government has made some attempt to either to deal with this, either the legal or labour legal system or the labour party has gotten in the way. the most interesting question for me what else then ? what would keir else then? what would keir starmer do ? everybody keeps starmer do? everybody keeps talking sinking rishi talking about sinking rishi plan. fine. what would you do in response? british people response? and british people want that question so want that question answered. so currently rishi steel is the only deal on the table. labour do not have viable , workable, do not have a viable, workable, changeable they waffle changeable solution. they waffle on about cracking down on the
11:15 am
gangs. >> well, the government have been doing that for a very long time and it's not working. >> let's clear , these are >> and let's be clear, these are gangs internationally gangs that are internationally based are very based, that are very sophisticated, are full of sophisticated, that are full of money and have a huge customer base cracking down on the gangs. sounds great, but what exactly would they do? my challenge to keir starmer, entire labour keir starmer, the entire labour party. come party. every time you come up with , please give us the with an idea, please give us the detail rhetoric is not good enough. people who enough. now we have people who are they have are losing homes. they have people losing jobs over people who are losing jobs over this kind of stuff. give us detail don't give us anything detail or don't give us anything at do you make of >> sean, what do you make of this news this morning about these being . these american troops being. well, three killed and i think 35 of them sustained a brain injuries. , um, base injuries. uh, at this, um, base is tower 22, as it's called in jordan. how how should america respond to this now? because it is a direct hit on american troops. i think we are entering a new world order. >> when you talk to liberals , >> when you talk to liberals, they believe that the world is full of nice people and will stay the same . i think what's stay the same. i think what's happening now, um , anywhere
11:16 am
happening now, um, anywhere between and iran and between russia and iran and china , they're showing you china, they're showing you actually, we don't like the world order. we're going to change the fact that the change it. and the fact that the iran backed rebels are this bold means that america will have to respond . in the past, rebels respond. in the past, rebels have been able to rely on western restraint. and if you look at trump's recent comments, i think he's sending a signal to two sets of people. one, them and the americans. he's saying to american people, actually, we're going to make sure we get value for money. we pay a lot of money to european defence. what are for that? we are we getting for that? we don't want to hear that over here. in here. but there is some truth in that. long time where that. we had a long time where nafions that. we had a long time where nations paying their nations weren't paying their dues nato , as it were. dues into into nato, as it were. he's saying to the houthis he's also saying to the houthis and iran, whatever , don't and iran, whatever, don't rely on be restrained . you have on us to be restrained. you have behaved in a particular way, and we will. if i was president, we'd respond kind. some we'd respond in kind. now, some people like i don't people don't like that. i don't think near anywhere near think we're near anywhere near world war iii. but i do sometimes think a more robust response is what the american people want to and many people want to hear. and many other around the world.
11:17 am
people want to hear. and many oth so around the world. people want to hear. and many oth so would around the world. people want to hear. and many oth so would you nd the world. people want to hear. and many oth so would you feel1e world. people want to hear. and many oth so would you feel safer rld. people want to hear. and many oth so would you feel safer ifi. >> so would you feel safer if trump in the white house trump was in the white house than biden? trump was in the white house thai biden? trump was in the white house thai bidenknow if you can >> i don't know if you can answer that question, but i would biden needs to would say this biden needs to not because we did air not look weak because we did air attacks. we did air strikes , and attacks. we did air strikes, and they just back harder and they just came back harder and if he knew anything about the houthis, understand houthis, he would understand that war in that they have been at war in their last or their minds for the last 10 or 12 years. have a, a, 12 years. they have a, a, a great capacity to accept loss in a way, a western country wouldn't. so attacking them lightly means nothing . you have lightly means nothing. you have to do something very, very decisive . live, i would imagine, decisive. live, i would imagine, to change behaviour . to change their behaviour. donald trump talks a way as donald trump talks in a way as if he's more prepared to do that. the one thing i will say when he was president, he's his rhetoric was stronger than his reaction. reactions were reaction. his reactions were very, very restrained. but his rhetoric suggested that he could do more . and i think in some do more. and i think in some instances that made iran and everybody think twice . before everybody think twice. before they attacked america. >> yeah. because he maintains if he'd been president, uh, putin wouldn't have gone on with the ukraine . ukraine conflict. >> the one thing i say about trump , he looks more capable of
11:18 am
trump, he looks more capable of negotiating with putin, maybe a like minded, i don't know , but like minded, i don't know, but but you think if trump turns up that slight, um , you know, is that slight, um, you know, is unpredictable. that's right. i think that gives him a better negotiating position rather than they look at, uh, biden. well, he's weak. we're going to do what we want to do anyway. if trump he will you trump says he will attack, you probably believe probably have to believe him. >> of this >> what do you make of this rumour that michelle obama is in the step the background, waiting to step to spring to in biden's shoes come spring summer democratic summer and take the democratic nomination ? nomination? >> because they can't carry on? i've got this. >> i look, i, i look at biden and not sure he has another and i'm not sure he has another four years him. four years in him. >> doesn't . >> he doesn't. >> he doesn't. >> sometimes he he hasn't >> sometimes he looks he hasn't got another four. >> him. got another four. >> unconvinced. him. >> unconvinced. >> unconvinced. >> want to be unkind . >> i didn't want to be unkind. >> i didn't want to be unkind. >> want to be for you. >> i didn't want to be for you. four weeks is enough for me. michelle take beating. >> would. would take >> yes she would. she would take some beating. >> president the >> first black president of the united states was an extraordinary yeah. united states was an ext|and inary yeah. united states was an ext|and i'dy yeah. united states was an ext|and i'd argue yeah. united states was an ext|and i'd argue theeah. united states was an ext|and i'd argue the second >> and i'd argue the second black united black president of the united states was woman, first female, >> he was a woman, first female, black. but she'd be two black. yeah, but she'd be two wins one. wins in one. >> but yeah, but she's charismatic . she she's charismatic. she she's entertaining now. could she deal
11:19 am
with trump and the whole circus? i don't know, but she's very . i don't know, but she's very. she'd from high she'd start from a very high point , she'd start from a very high point, wouldn't she. >> says she awake >> and she says she lies awake at night about donald at night worrying about donald trump again. trump becoming president again. and therefore that would be her motivation . motivation. >> it would be a bit of dynastic politics again, wouldn't it? because george bush, because we had george w bush, we had clintons, had clinton's, the two clintons, two bushes, then obama's . two bushes, and then to obama's. can america not widen the gene pool a little larger than that ? pool a little larger than that? >> one extraordinary difference between british politics and american politics. we do not do dynasty here. they absolutely just in monarchy . just in the monarchy. >> yeah, but we don't mind that. >> yeah, but we don't mind that. >> that's why we don't do >> maybe that's why we don't do it. we have our dynasty sorted. exactly. really love exactly. but they really love god save the king and they get better soon, too. >> right. sean great to see >> uh, right. sean great to see you. could have all you. we could have gone on all day now. still to come. the plight parking on the plight of people parking on the pavement. of in that pavement. a lot of p's in that sentence. satisfying. pavement. a lot of p's in that sentetackled satisfying. pavement. a lot of p's in that sentetackled in;atisfying. pavement. a lot of p's in that sentetackled in liverpool and been tackled in liverpool and edinburgh. on been tackled in liverpool and edinineighbour on been tackled in liverpool and edinineighbour if on been tackled in liverpool and edinineighbour if they on been tackled in liverpool and edinineighbour if they parked on your neighbour if they parked on your neighbour if they parked on your repeatedly? i wouldn't your kerb repeatedly? i wouldn't your kerb repeatedly? i wouldn't you with britain's newsroom on gb news. i bet you would. >> i don't have a car so i don't

>> in 2024. g gb news is britain's election . channel. britain's election. channel. >> it's 1124 with britain's newsroom on gp news with andrew pearson bev turner. >> so a disposable vapes are set to banned in britain as part to be banned in britain as part of plans tackle rise in of plans to tackle the rise in young vaping and to young people vaping and to protect health. protect children's health. >> it's of prime >> so it's part of the prime minister's vaunted plans
11:24 am
minister's much vaunted plans to phase that phase out smoking plans that have by his have been denounced by his predecessor , liz truss, who says predecessor, liz truss, who says it's extension of the it's just an extension of the nanny state. >> to our >> so let's speak to our political correspondent olivia utley latest. good utley for the latest. good morning checking morning olivia. she's checking the latest headlines for us. never not working. olivia utley . never not working. olivia utley. um, so this news actually broke about this. this policy was announced a little while ago, but actually rishi sunak is making quite a bit of statements about it today . making quite a bit of statements about it today. he's really this is real kind of an issue for him, isn't it? kids and health, it seems . it seems. >> yeah. kids and health has become a huge issue for him. and after last week when we saw that mini rebellion , simon clarke mini rebellion, simon clarke saying that the prime minister should resign, it seems as though the government has decided that what it needs to look very busy. so look do is look very busy. so basically what the prime minister is doing at the moment is out with maybe is coming out with maybe it's harsh rehash that policy harsh to say, rehash that policy ideas. one of which is this ban on on disposable vapes. now this has become a real bugbear for rishi sunak. children vaping.
11:25 am
and you can see why 20% of 11 to 18 year olds said that they tried had a vape in 2023. he's also extending it a bit to include a crackdown on non—disposable vapes, as well. so vapes in flavours which are said to be aimed at children, like cherry cola and pink lemonade, are to be banned and non disposable vapes will have to be hidden away behind the counter rather than displayed on those, uh, colourful , counter rather than displayed on those, uh, colourful, uh, displays that we see in shop windows. also often he's also talking again about his smoking ban, which is really interesting because this is set to cause him a bit of a headache in the house of commons. uh, there are about 70 mp5, of commons. uh, there are about 70 mps, including liz truss, who are going to vote to amend the legislation that rishi sunak is pushing forwards , which would pushing forwards, which would see smoking gradually phased out. so the ban would start at anyone who is 15 now. so anyone
11:26 am
who is 15 now, now would never be able to buy cigarettes for the rest of their lives. now, liz , liz truss and her allies liz, liz truss and her allies have said that that would be a ridiculous policy because in a few years it would result in a situation where adults would have different rights based on their birth dates and what they would like to see. instead is just the smoking age raised to 21. now rishi sunak will probably get his way on this because the labour party have said that they will back him. but a prime minister does not want be in a situation where want to be in a situation where he reliant on opposition he is reliant on opposition votes to get flagship policy through . and if this rebellion through. and if this rebellion does come to pass in the commons with liz truss and a group of right wing and perhaps libertarian mps voting against rishi sunak , that could cause rishi sunak, that could cause the prime minister some real trouble with his authority in parliament, which, as we know, is already pretty damaged . is already pretty damaged. >> fascinated by the >> and i'm fascinated by the revelation at the weekend that the minister each week the prime minister each week
11:27 am

11:41 am
>> birmingham . >> liverpool, not birmingham. >> liverpool, not birmingham. >> joining us >> forgive me. yeah. joining us now england now is our north west england reporter, sophie reaper. so why is parking on the is this issue of parking on the pavement genuinely blight everyone's lives up . north everyone's lives up. north >> well, i'm not sure about blighting , but it's certainly, blighting, but it's certainly, certainly been controversial for a number of years now. pedestrians arguing of course, that it's affecting their accessibility on pavements, whereas some drivers will argue that often they're left with no other choice, especially in residential areas like this one. now the only place in the uk where it's currently against the law to park on the pavement is down in london. it's been that way since 1974. however local authorities are now being granted more and more the ability to crack down on these issues. you mentioned there edinburgh, as of today, that £100 fine for drivers being put in place, or £50 if they can pay it within the first 14 days, but there's now liverpool. they're making a petition . they've been making a petition. they've been speaking to the government to try and get more powers. and that's because between april and
11:42 am
december of last year, over 100,000 drivers in liverpool alone were fined for poor parking , so they are now parking, so they are now petitioning the government to be given more powers independently here in the city of liverpool to try and crack down on this issue. here this issue. we've been here this morning speaking to local residents, find out if residents, trying to find out if they welcome potential they would welcome potential fines parking, and fines for pavement parking, and this is what they had to say. i don't think you should park on a pavement it's not fair. pavement because it's not fair. >> if you're got a child in a pushchair or you're disabled or something. so yeah, i don't think a think you should park on a pavement if somebody's got a pram and somebody's parked on the pavement, nine times out of ten, the three quarters on the way of the pavement and you can't get through wheelchairs the same, it's just some people are just so selfish . are just so selfish. >> i think a car obstructs and the pedestrian walkway. >> so i'd welcome a fine. >> so i'd welcome a fine. >> yeah. i think with some of the streets are very narrow and people think they can park on. >> but if you've got a pram with a little on and maybe
11:43 am
a little one on and maybe a little junior one it's hard little junior one on, it's hard to get . to get. >> you've got to on the road >> you've got to go on the road or around the cars and get or go around the cars and get back and think that's back and that i think that's dangerous . dangerous. >> well there you have it. it does seem to be pretty unanimous . everyone in liverpool that we've spoken to this morning seeming to suggest that they would welcome fines for parking on pavements because of the accessibility issues that it presents . presents. >> okay. thank you very much, sophie sophie reaper there in a rather wet and rainy north of england, matthew laza emma woolf. this story for me is just more about clamping down, clamping down on cars, actually. and making it even more difficult. i'm looking at people in the rain there. matthew. we need to be able drive our cdl’s. >> cars. >> well, we do need be able >> well, we do need to be able to cars, but also >> well, we do need to be able to to cars, but also >> well, we do need to be able to to be cars, but also >> well, we do need to be able to to be able, but also >> well, we do need to be able to to be able to.1t also >> well, we do need to be able to to be able to. pedestrians need to be able to. pedestrians need to be able to. pedestrians need be able to get where need to be able to get where they're especially they're going, especially with wheelchairs and buggies. so i'm afraid people afraid i'm with the good people in think in liverpool in saying, i think it's it's it's a good idea where it's needed. that's needed. and i think that's i mean against blanket thing, mean i'm against blanket thing, so has got so if in edinburgh has got a particular problem then okay, let's introduce and let's edinburgh introduce it and then the local
11:44 am
then let's hold the local politicians edinburgh to politicians in edinburgh to account for it. >> doesn't some >> if it doesn't work, some money making though. money making scheme though. >> they do use drivers as cash cows. i mean look, why can't we have nuanced have a slightly more nuanced approach where we say, look, emergency course emergency vehicles of course they exemption. be they get an exemption. let's be sensible should sensible. of course they should be right up on the be able to park right up on the pavement wherever they need to go in order to get to an emergency. but there are some roads which almost can't roads in which you almost can't get they're to be get through. they're going to be smaller residential roads. can't we by case basis? we have a case by case basis? this ludicrous. we have a case by case basis? this ludicrous . and as for this is ludicrous. and as for london, we need to crack down on e—bikes strewn all over e—bikes being strewn all over the all over the the pavement, all over the streets . just anywhere. streets. not just anywhere. anywhere these are company names on bikes , these lime on on these bikes, these lime green, they are abandoned anywhere. and just anywhere. and i just think companies go and collect companies need to go and collect them back in the them and put them back in the docking yeah. docking bays. yeah. >> we're getting more of them. >> yeah, more of them . >> yeah, more of them. >> yeah, more of them. >> and they're spreading across the seem to >> seem to be. >> seem to be. >> watch out. it's coming >> so watch out. it's coming to your town. >> they a pest. your town. » they a >> they are a pest. they are a pest. but talking travel, pest. um, but talking of travel, we've train strike we've got a massive train strike on it's barely really. >> all week. we're so >> it's all week. we're so fatigued. you. by strikes fatigued. thank you. by strikes we even mention them
