from windsor he now goes into central london for a gala dinner tonight for the london air ambulance, and it is there where he is expected to make a speech. so of course we're all going to be listening to it, aren't we? what will he say? will he refer to his father's diagnosis? nhs's the health of his wife? the good wishes that are being sent from all around the world? what we do know that he will not be know is that he will not be mentioning his younger brother, prince prince harry, we prince harry. prince harry, we know, in from california know, flew in from california yesterday, flew over 5000 miles to spend what seems like less than an hour with his father before prince king charles went off to sandringham , and we do off to sandringham, and we do not know if prince harry is still on uk soil. actually, it's understood he did spend the night in a london hotel, but it is not expected that there will be any conversation or contact between the two brothers while he is here, and it's been interesting today actually, because i've just been chatting,

i did record it, so we'll play it for you a little bit later. i've just been chatting. i don't know whether you can see them two ladies over there, an and grace. they've been sitting on the bench. they've that the bench. they've brought that cardboard cut out of king charles a get well soon balloon there. has come all the there. here and has come all the way from cardiff in wales . but way from cardiff in wales. but they to here send on their they are to here send on their good wishes to king charles and really to get an update on how he and what we heard in he is and what we have heard in the few minutes. and the last few minutes. tom and emily is that his weekly conversation with the prime minister? that will not be happening face to face this week. that is going to be done over the phone. so a little bit of a break from royal protocol. there >> thank you very much indeed. pip tomson lovely to see you. those two over there with their get well soon balloon forward to heanng get well soon balloon forward to hearing what they have to say. draped in the union jack. look forward to what they had to say. yes, indeed. shall speak to yes, indeed. shall we speak to the commentator jennie the royal commentator jennie bond? you much bond? jenny thank you very much for course, many forjoining us. of course, many

will hoped that with prince will have hoped that with prince harry town and the harry being back in town and the king, uh, poorly, there perhaps would be chance for would be a chance for reconciliation . reconciliation. >> oh, yes, you would , wouldn't >> oh, yes, you would, wouldn't you? but i'm afraid it's not that simple. you can't wave a magic wand and put this family back together again . that's back together again. that's become apparent. i mean, it become very apparent. i mean, it does seem extraordinary that no sooner had harry arrived at clarence house than less than an hour later , the king and queen hour later, the king and queen left . um, but hour later, the king and queen left. um, but i hour later, the king and queen left . um, but i gather, hour later, the king and queen left. um, but i gather, i mean, the circumstances around that is that charles was feeling quite tired , quite understandably, tired, quite understandably, after his first round of whatever treatment he's having. um even so, you thought that meeting might have gone on a little longer . i hope it was little longer. i hope it was friendly. we do not know. uh, it would have been quite an awkward meeting. really as regards camilla. because you'll remember that, um. harry really was quite cruel about camilla in his book, 'spare' so that meeting took place, and it brief as it was, i thought, well, at least we can talk about reconciliation

between father and son, and i think we can. but then we got the news that there is no plan whatsoever for william to meet harry. we're told there are indications that harry would be willing to meet his brother if that was on offer. but i think william has shown today really that he has disowned . harry, that he has disowned. harry, doesn't want to know him, probably doesn't even like him anymore. um, and harry is just not part of his life. i think that rift is so deep now, and that rift is so deep now, and that has been shown by harry being here and them not meeting. it's so deep that i really do wonder can ever, ever be mended. >> oh, it is sad, but i wonder jennie bond, what does it say ? jennie bond, what does it say? that prince harry stayed in a hotel last night rather than in a royal residence, rather than perhaps at windsor or somewhere else ? s he had a 45 minute else? s he had a 45 minute meeting with the king. has that bond been really mended to any

extent? i know it's extraordinary, isn't it? >> i reported on this family for 35 years, and they still surprise me. they do not act in the way that other families might be expected to. yes, i know they've got lots of difficulties, nevertheless, difficulties, but nevertheless, if the king and queen charles and camilla were going to head off sandringham off to sandringham for rest and recuperation, well , recuperation, i thought, well, one of two things, um, how could bunk down in clarence house where he used to live, and he'd have the house to himself, or he would follow, perhaps by car, if he wasn't going to go in the helicopter with his father and his stepmother either. but neither of those things happened. he went off happened. instead, he went off to hotel and goodness knows to a hotel and goodness knows what. with himself. what. what he did with himself. and goodness knows whether there's another there's going to be another meeting he's going to meeting or he's going to jet straight to california. uh straight back to california. uh it's strange and odd it's a very strange and odd situation altogether. yes >> i wonder if he does feel a bit sheepish and unwelcome and perhaps a little bit awkward. after that's gone on and after all, that's gone on and not really sure what to do with himself after writing about camilla as an evil stepmother,

perhaps it would have been a bit awkward to follow them back. >> but jennie bond, thank >> um, but jennie bond, thank you much talking through you so much for talking through those us. really, those issues with us. we really, really do appreciate your time and your expertise. >> in other >> yes, indeed. but in other news, government is planning news, the government is planning to dentists £20,000 in to give dentists £20,000 in bonusesif to give dentists £20,000 in bonuses if they take on extra nhs patients. >> well, earlier in prime minister's questions, if they moved to an area where there is a dentist desert , a dental a dentist desert, a dental desert, a dental desert, i like that phrase. although i'm sure if i lived one i really would if i lived in one i really would not like it. but earlier in prime minister's questions, the dentistry plan led a dentistry recovery plan led to a heated between heated exchange between the labour keir starmer , labour leader, sir keir starmer, and minister. let's and the prime minister. let's have a listen. >> the fact that he's >> i welcome the fact that he's finally admitted that he's failed on waiting lists in the nhs. i also welcome these finally acknowledged the crisis in nhs dentistry. he's calling it a recovery plan after 14 years of tory government. what exactly does he think the nhs dentistry is recovering from ? dentistry is recovering from? >> well, mr speaker, as ever, he

conveniently forgets s the impact of a pandemic on nhs dentistry and it was specifically because because of the close proximity, nature of dental provision that it was unable to operate as normal throughout the pandemic. that was the recommendation of the medical and clinical experts. mr speaken medical and clinical experts. mr speaker, which is why inevitably there is a backlog in dental care and the impact that has. but that's why , as the right but that's why, as the right honourable, my honourable friend , the health secretary will outline later today for the house, putting more house, we're putting more funding provide more nhs funding in to provide more nhs provision across the country. on top of plans that will see the number of dental training places increase by mr speaker, but increase by 40. mr speaker, but i would actually just point out our plans mean that there will be million more nhs be 2.5 million more nhs appointments, which is in fact three times more than the labour party are proposing . party are proposing. >> well, as you heard, rishi sunak hopes that he'll it'll see more than a million extra people get their teeth checked and bnng get their teeth checked and bring an end to scenes like this

in bristol , bring an end to scenes like this in bristol, where hundreds of people queued outside a new dental practice in the hope of getting registered. >> yes , it was >> yes, it was quite extraordinary to that long extraordinary to see that long weaving queue our reporter theo chikomba joins us now from bristol. uh theo, huge number of people were queuing outside this one dental practice. it just shows how there is a supply and demand problem here isn't there ? demand problem here isn't there? >> yes, exactly. well it showed the scale of what we've seen right across the country, particularly after covid when people were trying to register to dentist practices. some of them, of course , had shut and them, of course, had shut and others have now opened, like this one. for example, in bristol, which opened on monday, they have another practice, but this one closed, uh, six months ago and they've reopened , opened ago and they've reopened, opened it again. and as we've seen in the last couple of days, there have been queues. hundreds of people were coming here to register as new patients for nhs patients. specific plea. now,

i've just spoken to the dental team here and they've said they've now closed the doors to people coming in to register in the last hour or so. so no longer people can just turn up and queue and get registered . and queue and get registered. since i've been here already, i've been seeing people turned away. they've had to lock the door and asking people, do you have an appointment? and they say, no, well, we can't new say, no, well, we can't take new patients. so that's something we'll be hearing from the dental team within the next hour or so. as they're through a lot as they're going through a lot of patients. and as we've of those patients. and as we've heard in the last 24 hours, there's this £20,000 incentive for practices to open in for dental practices to open in underserved areas. now, will we see more practices like this open up ? we see more practices like this open up? we might end up seeing more queues like we've seen here in bristol in the coming weeks and months. as more practices open. but of course , as some open. but of course, as some people have had to take out their own teeth with pliers, we've heard of those cases. some of haven't been able to see of them haven't been able to see the dentist some years now. the dentist for some years now. and of course, looking for and of course, looking out for their children well. so their their children as well. so their

hands certainly here. hands are certainly full here. they've people they've said 1500 people registered the two registered within the last two days as well . days as well. >> what a dramatic, dramatic sight that the door has been locked now to stop people from meeting up again. no room at the end, no room at the dental practice because that was an extraordinary queue. >> bristol a very highly >> bristol is a very highly populated area. um, of populated area. um, lots of people have moved to bristol. it's got a huge population and it's clear that the nhs dentist just can't keep up with demand. i do wonder if this £20,000, although this won't be in saint paupsin although this won't be in saint paul's in bristol because that's very much city. um, but moving dentists for £20,000 to go to a rural area, presumably in the middle of nowhere, will it fix? i'd take it up if i were a dentist. well i don't know what the starting salary for a dentist is. well, they do quite well. but then a lot of them do go private. and that's part of the problem. >> although i suppose >> yes. although i suppose if you go private you can really, really rack up the cash. you can perhaps maybe perhaps that's, that's maybe

you'll bigger incentive you'll have a bigger incentive to more private work. to just do more private work. maybe the offered by the maybe the 20,000 offered by the nhs never, ever match that. nhs will never, ever match that. >> time, of >> and lots of part time, of course, makes more course, which makes things more difficult. a good difficult. but yes, it's a good it's a good gig being a dentist. it's a shame that we only have about thousand to study about a thousand places to study for dentistry in this country per not an per year. perhaps that's not an issue. being a dentist, issue. also, being a dentist, you do a bit of botox, bit you can do a bit of botox, bit of filler on the make a of filler on the side, make a bit uh, do you know what? a bit of, uh, do you know what? a bit of, uh, do you know what? a bit of, uh, do you know what? a bit of extra cash that way every single junior doctor i know personally side personally has got a side hustle, a separate hustle, has got a separate little business. hustle, has got a separate litt|they;iness. hustle, has got a separate litt|they;ineson instagram or >> they run on instagram or whatever, offering botox, offering so when you offering fillers. so when you say that doctors earn say that junior doctors earn this always do this much, no, they always do all extra stuff on the all this extra stuff on the side. they earn a lot more. >> i'm sure the bma would dispute that vehemently. >> well, it's anecdotal evidence , but also thank you to theo gikomba for bringing us the news that now, uh, saint paul's dental practice in bristol has locked their doors to new customers following that enormous blimey. >> but coming up, former home secretary suella braverman wants ministers to ban

ministers to be able to ban protests as a way of tackling extremism. does she have a point 7 extremism. does she have a point ? should the home secretary be able ban a protest? you're able to ban a protest? you're watching. good afternoon

for like three and four hours, that's when the trouble, because the wind will be blowing as well. >> you're listening to gb news radio . radio. >> it's 124. welcome back to good afternoon britain. now next monday, the prime minister will take part in a special people's forum live on gb news in the nonh forum live on gb news in the north east of england. so over the course of the hour, he'll take questions directly from you.the take questions directly from you. the great british public. >> and you want to be one of >> and if you want to be one of the people asking those questions, the prime questions, putting the prime minister spot, to minister on the spot, head to gbnews.com forward slash pm. that's gbnews.com forward slash pm. >> yes, that's to register your interest today . or you can scan interest today. or you can scan the qr code that is there on the screen. now we'll just leave it up there for a little longer. if you just need to grab your phone, that's how you can do it. or just type in

phone, that's how you can do it. orjust type in gbnews.com forward pm or there you go forward slash pm or there you go now has called now suella braverman has called on given the on ministers to be given the power to ban protests without requiring agreement from other bodies such the police. um, bodies, such as the police. um, well , the home secretary well, the former home secretary has criticised police has previously criticised police very strongly for in her view, failing to take sufficient action over pro—palestinian marches , which she described as marches, which she described as hate marches . yes. hate marches. yes. >> so we're asking today, should government ministers have the unchecked power to ban protests, or is this a bridge too far? joining us now is political commentator emma webb , who commentator emma webb, who thinks protests should be able to be banned and imam and broadcast pastor ajmal masroor , broadcast pastor ajmal masroor, who thinks that they shouldn't. well well, let's dive straight in, ajmal. why shouldn't the home secretary in specific situations be able to say no , situations be able to say no, no, this march can't go ahead . no, this march can't go ahead. >> article ten of our country's human rights act gives us guarantee of having our views and having the right to express them. >> what if i actually want to

demonstrate against the home secretary ? is the home secretary secretary? is the home secretary going to ban me ? i think that is going to ban me? i think that is a step too far. and then to suggest that the pro—palestinian marches are hate marches is just trying to malign millions of people, not just in the country , people, not just in the country, but across the world who are standing in solidarity with the palestinians. they've lost more than people the recent than 30,000 people in the recent massacre that we've seen take place. we have to be very careful. we need to protect our rights to freedom, freedom of expression , freedom of assembly. expression, freedom of assembly. of course , as long as it's done of course, as long as it's done within the framework of our law, we don't want to break the law. nobody wants to break the law. politicians who are elected by us remember what abraham lincoln said these archewell. >> what about what about her other suggestion , ian's other suggestion, ian's recommendations. she also wants the home secretary to be able to outlaw any expression of support of terrorism. um, she wants to make it easier to prosecute anti—semitic chants. and she also wants to to proscribe also wants to make to proscribe groups extreme concern. would groups of extreme concern. would you happy with those three?

you be happy with those three? >> sounds like, uh, the king of saudi arabia talking right now . saudi arabia talking right now. if this is what suella braverman is asking for, or the dictator of north korea, or even the dictator of egypt, this is what happensin dictator of egypt, this is what happens in those countries that are democratic , that are not democratic, that are ruled illegitimate regimes. ruled by illegitimate regimes. we have a parliament in our parliament. we have an amazing record of our country, our government and our elected politicians doing the right thing and listening to the public. public do not support this. is a step the this. this is a step in the wrong direction. we should be discussing issues discussing and debating issues even if they're difficult, contentious issues if they're not debated. we should they go. so i think suella braverman has got it wrong and we should be allowed express ourselves allowed to express ourselves within law, and we should be within our law, and we should be free express as well free to express as well as demonstrate and when we need demonstrate as and when we need to. emma webb is suella braverman acting like kim jong un here? >> i don't think i would go that far, but i have to be very, very clear. >> tom, and i hate to disappoint. um but i'm actually not in favour of what suella

braverman is suggesting. i'm not in favour of banning protests. and i say that very, very unequivocally . um, i and i say that very, very unequivocally. um, i think we have to consider, you know, she's she's obviously making a number of points here. the key one that we're discussing right now is this , um, power that she now is this, um, power that she wants ministers to have to, to be able to ban particular protests , um, rather than that protests, um, rather than that power being one that rests with the police? um, i think we need to think about how that could very easily backfire. we're facing a potential , um, labour facing a potential, um, labour government, and we know that there are people , um, in all there are people, um, in all parts of , um, society, parts of, um, society, particularly on the left, who regard , say, gender critical regard, say, gender critical feminists as being extremists. so it's very clear how this could backfire. now, i disagree, um , with your fellow guest um, with your fellow guest there. um, if in his, uh , there. um, if in his, uh, description of what these marches are, i actually do agree with suella braverman, i think her, uh, diagnosis is correct. i think we have a really serious

problem on our hands that does need to be resolved. um, but i don't necessarily think that these powers are the way to do it. and actually, i think we have to consider the fact that the police already do have powers that they don't use. part of this is a problem with policing, and we've got a man currently on the run in this country who has half of his face serious , disfigured. he's serious, disfigured. he's walking around without trying to hide himself. he's been caught on cctv across the country . he's on cctv across the country. he's a sex offender and an illegal immigrant . a sex offender and an illegal immigrant. right. um, and the police aren't capable of even finding him. so um. i'm sceptical about whether even increased powers would be enforceable, but the reality is that the police do have powers that the police do have powers that they are not properly using . um, particularly one example tool, um, is in stopping people from climbing all over our war memorials. so there are powers there that can be used . it's there that can be used. it's just that the police don't seem, um, willing to use them in in

other cases, seem to be wilfully naive, um, in how they choose to police these protests. >> well, let's shift the terms of this debate in light of that and should the police be and say, should the police be using the powers that they have? emma, you clearly think that there are instances where the police should have been more forthright in policing protesters . uh, ajmal, what do protesters. uh, ajmal, what do you make of that ? you make of that? >> at all the protests that we're talking about, and especially suella braverman's comment come at the back of the palestinian or pro palestinian protests, pro—palestinian protests, pro—palestinian protests have been attended by people of all faiths and non—muslims, jews, christian jews, hindus, sikhs, people of all age and group and nationality. i've been to many of them. i've even spoken at them. i have not seen many disturbances, handful of disturbances, a handful of arrests of things. that arrests for lots of things. that happens at most peaceful happens even at a most peaceful rally. people do unfortunately, bad things that does not mean we have to ban secondly we if have to ban them. secondly we if we are saying that these marches are or suella braverman is saying marches are hate saying these marches are hate marches, is it hate march?

marches, why is it hate march? we're about palestinian we're talking about palestinian people's right to exist. we're talking about palestinians. >> to be fair to suella braverman people have seen with their that there has their own eyes that there has been extreme has been been extreme ism, there has been anti—semitic chants , there has anti—semitic chants, there has been for jihad anti—semitic chants, there has been forjihad on anti—semitic chants, there has been for jihad on the been calls for jihad on the streets. and you're right to point that, course, the point out that, of course, the vast, vast majority are peacefully but let's peacefully protesting. but let's not ignore there has been not ignore that there has been shades of extremism on these marches , shades of extremism, marches, shades of extremism, even comes from blatant extremism , blatant and shades of extremism, blatant and shades of extremism, blatant and shades of extremism also comes from your own television station . own television station. >> when presenters give all sorts of weird opinions. well, look, in our society we have got good. >> you're comparing someone chanting jihad the streets of chanting jihad on the streets of london with with presenters on gb news. is that what you're saying? >> i'm not. i'm saying something very simple. i'm saying good, bad ugly exist every bad and ugly exist in every society. is breaking society. if somebody is breaking the law, arrest them. if somebody is not breaking the law, you can't do anything about them banish entire them to banish the entire democratic right of our freedom to speak, express ourselves , to speak, express ourselves, because 1 or 2 people have

broken the law. that makes no sense. arrest those people . sense. arrest those people. punish them. bring them before the court . we will support it. the court. we will support it. and course, from the stage. i and of course, from the stage. i myself said many people, myself have said to many people, we doing our demonstration myself have said to many people, we the ng our demonstration myself have said to many people, we the legalr demonstration myself have said to many people, we the legal frameworkation myself have said to many people, we the legal framework that within the legal framework that we have. the second is we have. the second point is a more important one. you see, it's easy. emma to pick out 1 or 2 words and just just throw them in our direction. for example, calling for jihad. don't in our direction. for example, calling forjihad. don't even calling for jihad. i don't even i don't even think you understand the word jihad . it understand the word jihad. it was jihad for me to attend was a jihad for me to attend your programme today, cancelling two appointments. two of my previous appointments. i'm starving. that's my jihad with my own life. >> and i appreciate you taking the time to come on the channel. emma. will let you emma. i will have to let you come back on. >> on what? can i just finish my point? just let me finish my point. you need to understand, when we use terminologies that are don't explain, are loaded and we don't explain, we ourselves we do a disservice to ourselves and else. we're on the and everybody else. we're on the same we all respect our same page. we all respect our freedom. all respect our freedom. we all respect our rights law, must rights by the law, and we must abide the law . and not a abide by the law. and not a politician should be dictating anyway. >> emma, can we just from

>> emma, can we just get from emma? we don't understand what jihad hard means. shouldn't be worried about that . worried about that. >> this is sophistry and gaslighting. the public can see with their own eyes. and i'm sorry, but the idea that hizb ut—tahrir , um, standing in the ut—tahrir, um, standing in the street holding signs , talking street holding signs, talking about muslim armies that people in that context are talking about spiritual jihad, is just gaslighting. i'm sorry , but it gaslighting. i'm sorry, but it is. i, i you can i mean, we is. um, i, i you can i mean, we can have a separate debate about jihad if you want to. i'm absolutely willing to do that. but the reality is, i mean, it's not just shades of extremism on these had people these marches. we've had people out streets celebrating out in the streets celebrating the biggest massacre of jews since the holocaust . and the since the holocaust. and the idea that any anything is can excuse jews. what some people have been filmed doing, the fact that there have been people marching down whitehall with flags that are associated with islamic state, people who have been shouting khyber yahud in whitehall. and these things are not excused. >> and ajmal , we've got to get

report . report. >> well, let's return to that spicy debate with the political commentator emma webb and the imam and broadcaster ajmal masroor. right, we've made extra time for you two because we felt like this was this deserved the time? emma, you've got one minute to complete your points and then we'll end with ajmal for final minute . emma, take for his final minute. emma, take it away. >> i think ajmal thinks that we and the british public are stupid . stupid. >> sorry, but i just. as i >> i'm sorry, but i just. as i said before, i think everything that said complete that he said is complete sophistry gaslighting . um, sophistry and gaslighting. um, suella braverman is possibly wrong. i would i well, not possibly wrong. i disagree with the measures that she's proposing. i think that they could backfire horribly, but i think right we have a think she's right that we have a serious, serious problem, that these taking place these marches are taking place on and i would say on our streets. and i would say that think the end of that that i think at the end of that telegraph article where she laid out these she said that out these ideas, she said that we we the we have the we face the possibility of living in a country that is very different from the country, um, that we that we know love. i'm

paraphrasing . i think actually paraphrasing. i think actually we're already living in that country and we need to be robust in challenging these things. but i think that the problem runs a lot deeper and part of this is obviously to do with the fact that the police need to be able to do their job, they need to be willing to it. willing to do it. >> ajmal, you've been accused of gaslighting with regards to what >> ajmal, you've been accused of gas termsg with regards to what >> ajmal, you've been accused of gas terms jihad| regards to what >> ajmal, you've been accused of gas terms jihad means.; to what the terms jihad means. >> i'm not gaslighting all. >> i'm not gaslighting at all. in emma is gaslighting the in fact, emma is gaslighting the whole conversation. if we're talking palestinian people talking about palestinian people , we're talking about a community of people, a whole nafion community of people, a whole nation occupied by israel for 75 years, out of which they've lived in misery, and only recently 30,000 people have been killed mercilessly . hospitals, killed mercilessly. hospitals, schools, mosques, places of worship, 11,500 children. if there is a baby killer in the world today. state sponsored baby killer. that's israel. now any attack on any nation, whether they are jews , muslims, whether they are jews, muslims, christians, i condemn them wholeheartedly. unfortunately emma can't bring herself to condemn israel. that's gaslighting. we are here

together to say british people are not stupid. that's why millions of people are coming out support of out in support of the palestinians and what? in palestinians. and guess what? in those, demo , few people get those, uh, demo, few people get arrested. side by side. there was a far right, uh, against the palestinian demo . 200 people palestinian demo. 200 people came, 92 people got arrested . came, 92 people got arrested. now, if figures are to be looked at, palestinian demo has been very peaceful. and in supporting in solidarity of people's right to live . to live. >> so we've got time for, i'm afraid . thank you both for your afraid. thank you both for your final minutes. we'll get you back on. we'll get you back on because has been great because this has been a great conversation. >> yes. emma webb and ajmal masroor, up, masroor, there. but coming up, the leaked home office documents, expose documents, which expose britain's immigration britain's broken immigration system, be discussing britain's broken immigration sy�*just , be discussing

>> you're listening to gb news radio . radio. >> just 12% removed. that's according to leak. leaked home office documents revealing 12% of illegal arrivals would be

removed each year in the best case scenario, under the rwanda plan. let's get into diving into the details of this now with the broadcaster and author amy nicole turner and the former leader of ukip, henry bolton. henry. this was an exclusive on nigel farage program last night, and it does seem that . only 500 and it does seem that. only 500 people removed in the first year of the rwanda scheme is the best case. well i sort of got a scoop on nigel because i actually was talking about it. >> i think, one of the >> i think, on one of the programs here, um, about a month ago, i said my understanding was that the case scenario for that the best case scenario for the office going the home office is 500 going to a rwanda a year now, now that if you say around about 40,000 people come across the channel, that's 1 the deterrence that's 1 in 80. the deterrence value is utterly negligible . and value is utterly negligible. and so, you know, this is just another, uh , indicator, a piece another, uh, indicator, a piece of evidence that the government knows full well that rwanda is not going to deliver in terms of what the prime minister has said it will stop the boats. it won't

work. there are all sorts of other reasons why that that minuscule deterrent effect will be even less worse, given the fact that we've we've got a situation where, um, the immigrants who are in calais , in immigrants who are in calais, in the north french coast themselves don't get to get all this information. it's counteracted by the people smugglers . and indeed, you know, smugglers. and indeed, you know, there , there, it's very there, there, it's very difficult for them to turn back anyway. >> amy, is this an i told you so moment for you? i'm astounded that you're all so surprised . that you're all so surprised. >> we've been saying this from the very start. >> well, actually, i think we originally said 200, but then 200 rwanda's would come 200 rwanda's would have to come back. it was a reciprocal scheme right from off. now it's right from the off. and now it's gone. maximum 500. but i gone. oh, maximum 500. but i think that works out to about £100,000 per migrant. we could send a round the world send them on a round the world cruise. could. >> we could. >> we could. >> we could train them to be pilots and they could fly wherever for cheaper. wherever they want for cheaper. um, yeah. wherever they want for cheaper. umamy, 1. wherever they want for cheaper. umamy, we have to say that the >> amy, we have to say that the government has responded to this story saying rwanda story saying the rwanda scheme is uncapped. the number of people who will be removed to rwanda range of

rwanda will depend on a range of factors. we do not comment factors. and we do not comment on unverified leaked documents. well, to say saying well, i have to say saying unverified and leaked documents in the same phrase does sort of make it sound like it's a leaked document, not that's unverified. >> it indeed look , we know that >> it indeed look, we know that there are obstacles legally. still, we've still got to get this the full thing through the parliamentary process . we've parliamentary process. we've still got to figure out how the logistics of who is going to actually remove these people. there's a tender out at the moment. the home office has put a tender out for a civilian security company to be trained in how to restrain people when they put them on aircraft. we have an idea. >> hmm. can you say that again? >> hmm. can you say that again? >> the home office is outsourcing. um, the process of actually, physically putting people on aircraft and transporting that not ring an alarm. >> well, it does to me. >> well, it does to me. >> i mean, this should be policing. this is it's the state doing this. well, a lot of people will be angry.

>> people who don't approve of the scheme on ethical grounds, but who wanted a but also those who wanted a scheme would work. but also those who wanted a sch yeah. would work. but also those who wanted a schyeah. butnould work. but also those who wanted a sch yeah. but amy, work. but also those who wanted a sch yeah. but amy, wothe but also those who wanted a schyeah. but amy, wothe point >> yeah. but amy, on the point surely if people don't want to go to rwanda , you will need a go to rwanda, you will need a way of getting them on the plane. that's my a that's plane. but that's my a that's a complete alarm bell to me. >> isn't doesn't just >> isn't it? doesn't that just demonstrate in one sentence the problems humanitarian problems the humanitarian problems the humanitarian problems scheme right problems of this scheme right from ? from the start? >> well, amy, we're going to have leave there for now. have to leave it there for now. but stay with amy but please stay with us, amy turner boulton, turner and henry boulton, because coming up, the mumbling speech president in speech by the us president in which appears to forget the which he appears to forget the name of terror group hamas. you're good afternoon, you're watching good afternoon, britain

hours, that's when the trouble, because the wind will be blowing as well. >> you're listening to gb news radio . radio. >> welcome back. now a clip of the president joe biden, president of the united states , president of the united states, of course, has gone viral on social media in the last 24 hours or so . social media in the last 24 hours or so. is social media in the last 24 hours or so . is the president of hours or so. is the president of the united states fit for the

office? let's have a watch . office? let's have a watch. >> there's some movement , office? let's have a watch. >> there's some movement, and i don't want to i don't want to. maybe choose my words. there are some movement. there's been a response from . the the there's response from. the the there's been a response from the opposition. but but um , yes. i'm opposition. but but um, yes. i'm sorry from hamas, but it seems to be, uh , a little over the to be, uh, a little over the top. we're not sure where it is. there's a continuing negotiation right now . right now. >> it was quite hard to watch. >> it was quite hard to watch. >> it was quite hard to watch. >> i don't want to mock him. >> i don't want to mock him. >> you know, he's an elderly gentleman and, uh, but the question still does remain pertinent , important, vital to pertinent, important, vital to ask . is he fit pertinent, important, vital to ask. is he fit enough to run again for office? amy, i know, i

know what you mean, though, because i've seen too many people taking the mick out of him, and it's almost got to the point where it's incredibly uncomfortable, because when you're that clip, you you're watching that clip, you can the filing cabinet you're watching that clip, you ca his the filing cabinet you're watching that clip, you ca his mind the filing cabinet you're watching that clip, you ca his mind just filing cabinet you're watching that clip, you ca his mind just like1g cabinet you're watching that clip, you ca his mind just like falling1et open. >> and he's going through it. um, i think at the moment um, but i think at the moment he's a safer bet than the alternative. >> so this is a really difficult conversation to but conversation to have. but doesn't perhaps shapps doesn't this perhaps shapps highlight how important the choice president is for choice of vice president is for joe henry, it does, of coui'se. >> course. >> um, look , you know, we all >> um, look, you know, we all watch this. i mean, this isn't a matter for the americans. i mean, but imagine an i mean, some of us have got a bit of a difficulty with the leadership that rishi sunak exercises. imagine if we had a prime minister was giving press minister who was giving press conferences of that incredibly poor worrying quality. we as poor and worrying quality. we as a would be concerned. we a nation would be concerned. we as a nation should be concerned anyway. and this is not a criticism biden, criticism of biden, his character or even his politics. the united, this country . so the united, this country. so many countries rely on the united states for economic

stability because their global impact economically , militarily, impact economically, militarily, um, we've got the question of ukraine. we've got the middle east, of course, america, a massive player in all that. it's vitally important that the world feels that there is a statesman in control the white house. in control in the white house. and you know, nobody can look at that video and feel that that's actually the case. equally though, it's a short video . though, it's a short video. >> and how long there are many now, though, there are a few people are waiting for them. >> they're looking out for these like ten clips. like ten second clips. >> of they are. >> of course they are. >> of course they are. >> 38 seconds, that one. >> but 38 seconds, that one. >> but 38 seconds, that one. >> but 38 seconds, that one. >> but not to be pedantic, but of course , how long was this? of of course, how long was this? of course people are to course people are ready to jump on appues course people are ready to jump on applies to any on this. the same applies to any politician, any commentator, any anybody. you make a fluff anybody. if you make a fluff something or you stumble over your words or whatever, then you are going jumped on. and are going to get jumped on. and of that's part, of course, that's part, you know, president, he the know, he's president, he is the most senior politician in the united america. united states of america. and it is concerning . it's not say is concerning. it's not to say that he has got a problem, but it doesn't look as though he's free of problems. >> amy, do you think this is why

there have been poll after poll now that shows donald trump, a man federal man who's under federal indictment , man who's under federal indictment, is polling ahead of joe biden. >> i just can't work out the situation in america . it just situation in america. it just absolutely baffles me that anything that such a high polling could be voting for someone who is on the record as sexist and a racist . and i saw sexist and a racist. and i saw emily thornberry last week, um, describing him as such. and then people saying , are you happy people saying, are you happy with him becoming president? would you stand by your words? she yes, i would. so is she said, yes, i would. so is that worrying though, just emily thornberry, because if the labour party wins power in this country, trump wins power country, donald trump wins power in the united states, does that prove% and present prove% a real and present problem forjoint prove% a real and present problem for joint operations? >> example , in the middle >> for example, in the middle east, economic cooperation , east, for economic cooperation, for trade deal, for things for a trade deal, for things that really do need? that we really do need? >> i mean, absolutely, because i think if the one thing is clear about aside from think if the one thing is clear abo sexism, aside from think if the one thing is clear abosexism, aside aside from think if the one thing is clear abo sexism, aside from side from think if the one thing is clear abosexism, aside from hiss from his sexism, aside from his racism, aside from his indictment of january the 6th, is, the that he wants

is, um, the fact that he wants america to go alone. i think america to go it alone. i think that's biggest threat to that's the biggest threat to everything, isn't it? what he said leaving what said about leaving nato? what are that he's made are the threats that he's made that wants america be that he wants america to be completely independent away from us? >> we're going to lose our best trade. >> we were negotiating a trade deal with the united states that got fairly far along until he got fairly far along until he got i think. got voted out. i think. >> henry, last word we've got we've situation where, >> henry, last word we've got we've know,uation where, >> henry, last word we've got we've know, them where, >> henry, last word we've got we've know, the alternative yes, you know, the alternative at the moment looks like it's going to trump. um, trump is going to be trump. um, trump is more to the uk than biden. more pro to the uk than biden. but other baggage comes but what other baggage comes with that. and i think there's a debate around that as well. it's not a and white, you know, not a black and white, you know, uh, this one's good and that one's bad. um, it's a mix and, and i, i do feel that the conversation that we're having in the uk about this, and probably it's the same in the united states, is not sophisticated enough at the moment. >> it's not we'll have a lot more people have an unfortunate choice. >> perhaps we'll have a lot more in the next hour. both with amy and but stick with and with henry. but stick with us for royal . news us for royal. news >> a brighter outlook with box

today. he does do these investiture ceremonies along with princess and he was with princess anne, and he was always scheduled to do it. but he has taken some time off because, of course , his wife, because, of course, his wife, the princess of wales , she had the princess of wales, she had that abdominal surgery. so prince william actually hasn't performed any public duties since january the 11th. and after his duties today , he is after his duties today, he is expected to take some time off. i've been told that there is nothing in the diary for him imminently. of course, half time is coming up so he will be spending time his children, spending time with his children, won't he? george, charlotte and louis, outside windsor louis, now outside windsor castle , there have been castle, there have been well—wishers gathering as well. and earlier, just and a little earlier, just before i came air, i spotted before i came on air, i spotted they were actually very easy to spot. grace and anne spot. i spotted grace and anne and they had rocked up to windsor castle with a cardboard cut out the king and, um, cut out of the king and, um, a balloon. and they're here just to get updates on herself, had come all the way from cardiff and she simply wanted to know how king charles is. >> how are you going to see his

royal highness the prince of wales to offer him support and cheer him on? >> because everybody adores the catherine princess of wales and we want to know how she is and if we get the opportunity, see if we get the opportunity, see if he comes by on a walkabout to ask how she is. you know, he's got a lot on his plate at the moment. >> we want to give our support to the royal family, those who are ill and even anybody in the whole world having the same the same illness or problem that everyone should get speedy recovery . so we are here to recovery. so we are here to support them . support them. >> i did actually point out to them that of course king charles is at sandringham some three hours away. he's not actually here at windsor castle, but he will be holding that weekly audience with the prime minister. and of course , we minister. and of course, we never know what's discussed between them. but i do just wonder whether anything will be said about the prime minister. speaking yesterday when he was asked about king charles's cancer diagnosis. and if you remember, tom and emily, he said

something about it being caught early and i'm not sure whether he misspoke there or whether he later said he was misunderstood. but i just wonder if that was a little bit of a step too far yesterday for the prime minister in giving out quite personal information, which the palace certainly hasn't disclosed. >> yeah , really, really >> yeah, really, really interesting. there's a question mark over whether that was a mistake from the prime minister. if was leaking information, mistake from the prime minister. if he was leaking information, mistake from the prime minister. if he was just ing information, mistake from the prime minister. if he was just speakingnation, mistake from the prime minister. if he was just speaking without if he was just speaking without authorisation or if he made it up and don't know the answer up, and we don't know the answer to questions . to any of those questions. >> yeah, absolutely . and i'm not >> yeah, absolutely. and i'm not sure that we are going to, tom. i mean, they've made it very clear, haven't they, that king charles has a form of cancer. he is undergoing treatment. he has now gone from clarence house yesterday to sandringham. and thatis yesterday to sandringham. and that is where he is going to remain for the time being. and he'll be coming back to london for treatment. so don't expect to be seeing much of him over the next few weeks or even

months . months. >> thank you very much indeed for all of those updates. pip tomson gb news reporter there outside windsor castle and great to hear to hear , uh, hear what to hear to hear, uh, hear what the, uh, the superfans had to say. oh, yes. >> grace and anne were fantastic. absolutely uh, but in other news, former fox news anchor tucker carlson will be the first western journalist to, quote unquote, interview president putin since russia's invasion of ukraine. >> yes, posting to social media site x, formerly known as twitter, the x us host tells us why he's doing it. >> there are risks to conducting an interview like this. obviously so we thought about it carefully over many months. here's why we're doing it. first, because it's our job. first, because it's ourjob. we're in journalism. our duty is to inform people two years into a war that's reshaping the entire world. most americans are not informed . they have no real not informed. they have no real idea what's happening in this region. here in russia , or 600 region. here in russia, or 600 miles away in ukraine in. but they should know they're paying

for much of it in ways they might not fully yet perceive . might not fully yet perceive. >> well, let's get more on this now, joining us down the line from chicago to discuss this further is the chair of republicans overseas uk, greg swenson. now greg, this is a pretty sizeable moment . this pretty sizeable moment. this will be one of the most viewed interviews of the year, but a huge amount of criticism on whether it will be a strenuous, rigorous interview at all or whether, frankly, it'll be a bit sycophantic . sycophantic. >> yeah, i tend to disagree with the last part of your comment. >> you know, tucker carlson is a pro, and i think that's why he was getting, you know, 3 million views a day when he was on fox. and even more than that now. so, you know, i think he's up to the task. >> i think it's great for journalism. >> um, yes. it's a great day for tucker carlson and his career. but i think, you know, he deserves it. he's he's asked. i imagine he'll the right imagine he'll ask the right questions. and i'm not surprised that he was able to get the interview. and i'm many

interview. and i'm sure many other mainstream outlets other mainstream media outlets were trying to get the interview. and i think you saw that, you know, some comments from cnn yesterday. so you from even cnn yesterday. so you know, yes, he was a bit critical in his post about much of the mainstream corporate legacy media us . i mainstream corporate legacy media us. i think he has media in the us. i think he has some points there, but i think anyone would would have jumped at the opportunity to get this interview. >> yes. well, greg, the reason why may have been given the why he may have been given the interview because has interview is because he has previously said a lot in previously said quite a lot in support of vladimir putin, questioning why people say bad things why is things about him, why is vladimir putin such a bad guy? he says he's not a danger to the states, he's not saddam hussein, he's not adolf hitler. that's technically , but certainly he's not adolf hitler. that's tec has ally , but certainly he's not adolf hitler. that's tec has said , but certainly he's not adolf hitler. that's tec has said quite but certainly he's not adolf hitler. that's techas said quite art certainly he's not adolf hitler. that's techas said quite a lotertainly he's not adolf hitler. that's techas said quite a lot that|ly he has said quite a lot that would appear at least to be quite pro. putin whereas the bbc have lodged many requests to interview putin, but they have been rejected . been rejected. >> and yeah, i think, you know, and you'll hear that from putin himself or his press people that you know, he's suspicious of the

legacy media. and i don't blame him. >> so , you know, i can't blame >> so, you know, i can't blame anyone for being suspicious. you know, they they come with know, they they come in with a bias. now whether tucker carlson has bias, yes. he's has a bias, you know. yes. he's he's asked the right questions. he's trying remain, you know, he's trying to remain, you know, neutral and be a journalist and ask the questions. and, and i think you have to look at this in the context of the fact that, you know, the president, president biden has not really articulate the mission and the end game. and i think, you know, it's good for journalists to be sceptical and to and to ask questions. so, look, i mean, we'll see what happens in the interview. but i think you have to look at this context of and by the way, you know, tucker, often reminds people that he's not pro—putin. he's and in fact, he almost, you know, gets a kick out of it when anybody who questions as some of the directions of the of the government funding in the us and for that matter, in the uk, anybody who questions that or asks for some sort of accounting or some sort of statement explaining it,

or some sort of statement explaining it , they get labelled explaining it, they get labelled as a pro—putin. i don't think that's fair either. so i think, you know, we should all just keep open mind and see what keep an open mind and see what see what happens in the interview. >> i think it's quite hard to keep open mind when in 2019, keep an open mind when in 2019, when tucker carlson said we should take side of should probably take the side of russia have . to choose russia if we have. to choose between russia and ukraine, and even more recently in 2022, he said it's pretty clear zelenskyy, the leader of ukraine, has no interest in freedom and democracy. he says that zelenskyy is far closer. to lenin than george washington, and called zelenskyy the democratically elected president of ukraine, a dictator. i mean, this is just using putin's lines to take, isn't it? >> yeah, i don't know about that. i do fully admit that tuckeris that. i do fully admit that tucker is very opinionated. he's an opinion journalist and he's not afraid to voice his concerns or his opinions. so again , i or his opinions. so again, i think keep an open mind. i'm not arguing for either side here, and i hope that tucker doesn't ehheni and i hope that tucker doesn't either. i think he's just going to do that. so and i think you

also have to keep in mind that more context and perspective, these questions that tucker asks are also what many , uh, are also what many, uh, politicians and, and leadership in the us are asking as well. the context of this versus keeping our own border wide open. again, i'm not advocating for either side in the russia—ukraine conflict at all. all in, i would obviously side with ukraine and hope that that putin fails in his invasion. but you know, in the context of the of the 8 million illegal migrants coming over the border and a blatant disregard for the law, anyone the progressive open borders left , you know, more is borders left, you know, more is better and less is racist. as far as they're concerned. and this is a real human tragedy occurring on the us border with mexico. again i know that's, you know, in some ways that's apples and oranges, but i think that for american voters, you have to look at it in that context. and what's happening in the united states, now. states, right now. >> well, certainly, i can

imagine this interview we'll imagine in this interview we'll get amount of traction get a huge amount of traction onceitis get a huge amount of traction once it is published. hundreds of millions of i imagine. of millions of views, i imagine. thank very much for your thank you very much for your time. greg swenson, chair of republicans over seas . i mean, republicans over seas. i mean, in one way, i'm thinking the interview will be very interesting and people will be able to decide whether there is bias from the interviewer or themselves. people aren't stupid . and also, there are a lot of journalists who would jump at the chance to interview vladimir putin. but then at the same point, is it just going to further russian propaganda? >> so you've just got to ask, why did he say yes to this guy? he's imprisoned journalists in his own country. rebuffed his own country. he's rebuffed western asked western journalists who've asked for interview interview for interview after interview after interview with him, and he says to someone who's says yes to someone who's got a history of making quotes, of saying things like, ukraine is worse than russia. i mean, is this just an opportunity for another political broadcast for another political broadcast for a man who locks up his political opposition ? opposition? >> and if tucker went in too hard on vladimir putin, what

would happen ? would happen? >> well , that's suggesting that >> well, that's suggesting that there's a possibility that he'll go in too hard on vladimir putin. i don't know, i think putin. i don't know, but i think you're right, emily. i will watch it. yeah um, i don't know what i'll learn out of it, but it's interesting, isn't it? >> it's very interesting indeed. still to come. and an inconvenient tooth. very good. the government plans to give dentists £20,000 if they move to areas of the country that don't have enough dentists, to the dental deserts, they call them. you're watching good afternoon, britain on

will push north and it will turn more sleety and rainy behind it. but when you're in it for like three and four hours, that's when the trouble, because the wind will be blowing as well. >> you're listening to gb news radio >> good afternoon britain. it's 2:25 and the manhunt continues for chemical attacker abdul ezedi . the met police believe ezedi. the met police believe the suspect is being helped by others. >> yes . abdul ezedi was last >> yes. abdul ezedi was last seen at king's cross underground station at 9:00 on wednesday,

the 31st of january. in the evening , and it's now been over evening, and it's now been over a week since the dreadful attack carried out on a woman and her two daughters. well, let's get the very latest now with gb news reporter ray addison. >> you've been following >> rae, you've been following this all, all week, and it this story all, all week, and it has now been a long time since anyone saw this man . anyone saw this man. >> yeah , the manhunt for azadi >> yeah, the manhunt for azadi is well into its seventh day. and of course , we've seen the and of course, we've seen the latest cctv images and footage, which has been released yesterday . and it's all from yesterday. and it's all from wednesday night. no sign of azadi since then. and also no use of his bank card, which he'd been using to navigate the london tube system. of course, if he doesn't use that card, whether at an atm or to use pubuc whether at an atm or to use public transport, and he is holed up somewhere for, um, maybe somebody looking after him, or he's found somewhere to shelter himself , it's him, or he's found somewhere to shelter himself, it's going to be very difficult to track him. police, though, going through hundreds cctv

hundreds of hours of cctv footage. in fact, they've dragged a brought in the counter—terrorism police because those specialist officers , those specialist officers, specialist at man hunting and being able to hopefully track him down, particularly worrying for londoners though, we've heard those details of his sexual offences was committed in 2017. he pled guilty in 2018. he pled guilty to grabbing a woman's bottom without her consent. he also exposed himself and committed a sex act, avoided jail though um suspended sentence. although he was put on the sex offenders register for ten years and given 200 hours of unpaid work, and one of the victims , one of his aids victims victims, one of his aids victims from those offences, or one of those offences, spoke to the sun newspaper and described him as a danger to women. said that he shouldn't have been allowed to remain in the uk because of course we heard how after being rejected twice for asylum after those incidents, he actually was approved for asylum and one of

his victims criticising the church for giving him a reference for that asylum plea. now, the last known sighting is at 10:04 pm. on wednesday night, so seven days ago now he was walking past the unilever building and heading towards victoria embankment. he'd been at tower hill station. that's about a half an hour walk, and so the injury that he'd got to his right eye doesn't seem to be slowing him down. now if he continued along embankment, he'd actually his way right here actually make his way right here to scotland yard . that's to new scotland yard. that's again, another half an hour walk . so is it possible that right now met police officers are scouring cctv footage from new scotland yard? >> it's a thought , isn't it? >> it's a thought, isn't it? >> it's a thought, isn't it? >> my goodness. but it does seem that this is a hunt that , given that this is a hunt that, given it's going on for more than a week now, could well go for on weeks and weeks more with no answer . ray weeks and weeks more with no answer. ray addison, thank you for giving us the very, very latest there from new scotland yard. >> well, that was a depressing

assessment, tom. well, i hope it's i hope it's it's today by now. i hope it's today. could be today. it'll today. it could be today. it'll be dentists be positive anyway. dentists will offered a golden hello will be offered a golden hello payment to £20,000 to payment of up to £20,000 to address the shortage of dentist appointments in the uk . appointments in the uk. >> well, given that it's coming up to 230 in the afternoon , we up to 230 in the afternoon, we might as well do a 230 segment earlier in prime minister's question is the dentistry recovery plan led to a heated exchange between labour leader sir keir starmer and prime minister rishi sunak. >> i welcome the fact that he's finally admitted that he's failed on waiting lists in the nhs. i also welcome these finally acknowledged the crisis in nhs dentistry. he's calling it a recovery plan after 14 years of tory government. what exactly does he think the nhs dentistry is recovering from ? dentistry is recovering from? >> well, mr speaker, as ever , he >> well, mr speaker, as ever, he conveniently forgets the impact of a pandemic on nhs dentistry and it was specifically because of the close proximity, nature

sure that this doesn't happen again in the future . and this again in the future. and this is, of course, very prime real estate. it's only a few miles away from the m1, but not prime real estate. if a massive warehouse is overshadowing your garden, especially in summer when you might be hoping to have a barbecue. >> yes. not at all. thank you very indeed. will hollis very much indeed. will hollis there us live , there reporting to us live, live, tom. come on. you would be absolutely furious if you owned absolutely furious if you owned a home there. and then a monstrosity like that was built. >> right? >> right? >> i was i did think that >> and i was i did think that that outrage until that was an outrage until i looked on map, saw that it was looked on a map, saw that it was basically in the middle of an industrial estate and what's more, it is where it was more, where it is where it was and where it's being built, there was a warehouse just there was a warehouse there just a years ago that got a couple of years ago that got torn it's replacing torn down. it's just replacing a former warehouse. >> do you think these people, these complaining these residents are complaining for obviously the council >> i think obviously the council messed by not sending them messed up by not sending them the consultation, but, mean, the consultation, but, i mean, there been a planning there will have been a planning permission process as well. i think some they should think to some extent they should have the planning have looked at the planning permission you go. la de da. >> well, there you go. la de da. joining us now is broadcaster

and author turner and and author amy nicole turner and the henry the former ukip leader henry bolton. shall we start with pmqs today? and sunak being heavily criticised over what's been seen as transgender dig at labour as a transgender dig at labour leader sir keir starmer as brianna ghey, his mother watched on. a listen to on. shall we take a listen to fining a woman? >> although , although in >> although, although in fairness, was only 99% of fairness, that was only 99% of a u—turn, that the list goes on. but the theme is the same. mr speakeh but the theme is the same. mr speaker, it's empty words, broken promises and absolute no plan . keir starmer. plan. keir starmer. >> really, of all, of all the work of all the weeks, to say that when brianna's mother is in this chamber , the shame parading this chamber, the shame parading as a man of integrity when he's got absolutely no responsibility , she absolutely , absolutely , she absolutely, absolutely shameful . shameful. >> those are the words of keir

starmer, and it's caused quite a lot of debate online. but let's turn to our panel now. henry, this is a line rishi sunak often trots out . but at the start of trots out. but at the start of prime minister's questions, um, sir keir starmer said that brianna ghey, his mother , was brianna ghey, his mother, was sitting up there in the public gallery . why did rishi sunak gallery. why did rishi sunak mess up? >> it was inept . um, the thing >> it was inept. um, the thing is, we're getting too many inept things from rishi sunak. is, we're getting too many inept things from rishi sunak . um, i, things from rishi sunak. um, i, i think he should apologise, possibly even in private to her. um, i think we've got a problem with prime minister's questions and i, you know, it becomes it's and i, you know, it becomes it's a cockpit of throwing brickbats at the other side and getting youh at the other side and getting your, your backbenchers to go . your, your backbenchers to go. yeah, yeah, yeah . you know, it yeah, yeah, yeah. you know, it is meaning less in any other way than entertainment really. and it's good for the media because they can get a headline out of it and you can discuss it. but i think it was inept. it was it was unnecessary. um, but at the same time , it was couched in same time, it was couched in a i'm not sure that the whole clip

was there. he was he listed a whole range of u—turns that keir starmer has committed, um, including adding the definition of a woman . and this was one of of a woman. and this was one of those things. so you know, it's in the it's in the context of, of the pmqs that should be fundamentally reformed . fundamentally reformed. >> but the, the fact is , keir >> but the, the fact is, keir starmer has consistently been on the right side of the debate. >> the correct side. and rishi sunak and the conservatives have consistently been on the ugly side. >> the toxic side has the wrong side. >> keir starmer did say that he wanted to introduce self—id and he's rowed back on that over the course of his. he rowed back on that point to make under great pressure, but he hasn't used the plight of trans people as a wedge issue to gain votes. >> i'm going to hear a lot of people have been writing in, though, amy, that perhaps, um, this issue has been weaponised on both sides. >> i would i would not making what appeared to be a bit of a crass comment there, considering who was in the public gallery,

but starmer for then but also keir starmer for then you up the fact you know, bringing up the fact that ghey his mother was that brianna ghey his mother was he, he , he said this so many he, he, he said this so many times and it has made people consistently uncomfortable. >> so many times it's just this time people are like, well, it's okay to ridicule trans people just long as there's just as long as there's not someone room who's someone in the room who's affected. every time somebody mentions they should mentions this issue, they should picture because picture brianna ghey because that who the debate is that is who the debate is constantly it's most constantly about. it's the most toxic and weaponized toxic . toxic and weaponized and toxic. nick, in recent history. whenever i mention trans people, i get an onslaught of bile, let alone what it's like to be a trans person at the moment. >> i mean, i think i think you're right, emily. it was a crass comment that's better than inept it crass, but but at inept. it was crass, but but at the time, there a the same time, there is a reaction in to the public and politics and the media being sort of subjected to this identity politics. we have equality in this country and we need to ensure that everybody is treated equally. um, but we don't need to have to kowtow to

activist groups and activist campaigns, which frankly, i highlight the differences between us rather than what we all have in common. this country is being riven in all sorts of different ways. there are schisms, factions, whatever, and they are identity based. their their race, their religion , their race, their religion, their race, their religion, their their gender. look, we all live in these islands together, and it is only together that we're going to be able to make our economy and our society function. we've got people who are who are deliberately driving are who are deliberately driving a of that and a wedge through all of that and who those? i think that that who are those? i think that that what be called centre what would be called the centre right or the right are being are pushing saying, live pushing back and saying, live your want, but do your life how you want, but do not pressure me to live my life and fit around. henry you're frankly incorrect . frankly incorrect. >> lee anderson said the general election will be fought on trans issues and culture wars . issues and culture wars. >> it's the conservatives. >> it's the conservatives. >> it's the conservatives. >> i don't speak for lee anderson. >> you both think that was a silly thing

radio >> jonathan vautrey well, it's , >> jonathan vautrey well, it's, uh, ten to 10 to 3, and we've just appeared on your screen. >> so let's continue our chat with the broadcast and author amy nicole turner and the former ukip leader henry bolton, now ex fox news host, top host, uh, tucker carlson. he had, uh , he tucker carlson. he had, uh, he had, uh, 3 million people watching him every evening. i believe huge , huge amount of believe huge, huge amount of support for him . but he's doing support for him. but he's doing an interview with vladimir putin in russia. i believe it's already taken place. so it may imminently be available on twitter . amy, what do you think? twitter. amy, what do you think? do you think that is acceptable? >> well, um, i think it's incredibly dangerous because he's he has a previous of indulging russian propaganda and sympathising with putin and also that combined with the fact that you said it yourself, he's one of the most the most well known presenters in america , which presenters in america, which means he comes with a certain amount of trust. and i think people are going to approach this interview with, with thinking of the most thinking this is one of the most famous in america of course, famous men in america of course, i can believe everything that

comes it, which, when you comes out of it, which, when you look this legitimising look, this is a legitimising a leader of war crimes and leader accused of war crimes and i've seen it, um, doled out on twitter as exclusive. wow. what an opportunity. really is that? what is that where we are at, where we want to perpetuate that someone who has already been, uh, not who is guilty of such heinous, heinous crimes as as if it's some sort of scoop celebrity interview . celebrity interview. >> henry, what do you make of this? because i suppose if it were a rigorous interview, this would be this would be amazing. this would be a great opportunity to challenge someone accused of war crimes. i suppose the might not be the criticism is it might not be that rigorous. >> well, seen the >> well, i haven't seen the interview. know whether >> well, i haven't seen the intetaken know whether >> well, i haven't seen the intetaken place know whether >> well, i haven't seen the intetaken place or;now whether >> well, i haven't seen the intetaken place or not' whether >> well, i haven't seen the intetaken place or not yet ether >> well, i haven't seen the intetaken place or not yet .ther >> well, i haven't seen the intetaken place or not yet . uh, it's taken place or not yet. uh, you know, in a sense, we've got to wait see what the outcome to wait and see what the outcome is. so uh, but i'm concerned because, amy says , there's a because, as amy says, there's a history with tucker carlson of being being being pro—russian, being anti—ukrainian , being anti—ukrainian, being anti—american, involvement in ukraine. and there is a storyline now, i've a lot of background in ukraine and with the russians i've held

negotiating with russian ministers. i know some of them very well from my international diplomacy work. i've negotiated security agreements, and i worked with national worked with the national security council in security and defence council in ukraine. the subject ukraine. i know the subject well, but, um, i just you well, but but, um, i just you know, i know we haven't know, there is i know we haven't got time to cover it now that there is a huge amount of misinformation and disinformation out there. and regarding the war, and a lot of it is based on what putin said in december 2022, um, before he launched the invasion the following february , um, in which following february, um, in which he basically said nato, expansionism and all the rest of it, it is utter bunkum. it is rubbish . and i hope that that rubbish. and i hope that that tucker carlson hits putin with that. but i don't think he will if he does, then there's this narrative that nato used to stop at germany, and now it goes right up to the border of russia, russia, russia itself, draft did something called the helsinki final act. they asked for. it's an agreement. 57 countries, they asked for the

agreement. they drafted the agreement. they drafted the agreement. they drafted the agreement. they chaired the meetings in which it was all discussed, which guaranteed ukraine territorial integrity and sovereignty within existing borders and its right to choose its own alliances of security alliances with whomever it wanted to. now there was not one nato soldier stationed in eastern europe until 20 2017. not one. and that was after russia had gone into into the donbas and crimea. another thing, the budapest memorandum of 1994, if i remember correctly , um, and implemented in 96 russia guaranteed territorial integrity in existing borders to ukraine. if ukraine handed over its nuclear arsenal to moscow, which it did, and all of these agreements and others have been violated by the russians because we're running out of time. >> amy. uh this you're sceptical of this. you don't think it should necessarily be taking place, but would it not be illuminating, even if it's biased, it will still be

interesting. and of note, yeah, well , i'm interesting. and of note, yeah, well, i'm sure it's going to be interesting, but i think the long game here to curry long game here is to curry favour with trump. >> and think it's going to >> and i think it's going to legitimise position that legitimise that position that america funding america shouldn't be funding ukraine. it's going to put ukraine. and it's going to put that in a lot more people's minds ads than potentially. >> that is all we have time for. if you've got to get to martin daubney martin, what's up on your show? >> he's coming. okay >> he's coming. okay >> what we've got what we've got today is the home office in crisis ? crisis? >> is it time to deport foreign criminals? >> there's a debate today in the commons. we're picking up on that.isit commons. we're picking up on that. is it time to stop benefits to triple killer valdo calocane should rishi apologise for his trans comment? i don't think he should. and what's the real reason you can't get a dentist place? >> is it the nhs or is it immigration? >> that's all on my show. three till 6 pm. but first it's time for your latest weather forecast i >> -- >>a >> a brighter outlook with boxt
