wenzler in the gb newsroom . i'm wenzler in the gb newsroom. i'm sir keir starmer, accused the prime minister of letting parts of the country go without dental health care as he faced the prime minister in the commons today. it comes as the government announced a new plan to boost the number of dental appointments available across england. speaking at prime minister's questions, the labour leader said 14 years of conservative government had seen the nhs fall into neglect. >> it should follow labour scrap the non—dom tax status and use the non—dom tax status and use the money to fund 2 million more hospital appointments every yeah hospital appointments every year. but mr speaker , the prime year. but mr speaker, the prime minister is oddly reluctant to follow us on this. what exactly is so special about this tax avoidance scheme that the prime minister prioritises it above the nhs ? the nhs? >> however, the prime minister criticised labour's plans for the nhs, saying it includes billions of unfunded spending commitments , record funding commitments, record funding record, doctors and nurses, record, doctors and nurses, record number of appointments,

higher cancer survival rates. >> but what's happening under labour's watch in wales? mr speaker , let's have a look. speaker, let's have a look. >> a fifth, a fifth of people in wales are currently on a waiting list. >> waits of 18 months or more are ten times higher than that in england. and people are waiting twice as long for an operation. their failure has sent the welsh nhs back to square one, and will never let them do that. here >> rishi sunak speaking. there now. today's pmqs come after the government revealed a plan for dentists to be offered cash incentives to take on new patients. the new scheme aims to make appointments available to around a million more people across england . dentists will be across england. dentists will be offered payments of between 15 and £50 for each new patient . and £50 for each new patient. hundreds of people endured long waits in bristol earlier today , waits in bristol earlier today, with queues seen around the block after a clinic made new appointments available on the nhs . the clinic's manager, nhs. the clinic's manager, shivani bhandari , told gb news shivani bhandari, told gb news the crowds were overwhelming. i

didn't expect that much crowd on the day one. >> we had to get the police involved because they were fighting , people were arguing fighting, people were arguing and jumping the queue and the second day we had to get the bouncers in on our personal expense because we, the police, could not come in the next day. so the third day today, we decided we're not going to do any enrolment because we've already enrolled 1500 people already. and . and we want to do already. and. and we want to do it in a phased way. we want to actually see those 1500 patients. it's no point enrolling and enrolling and not seeing those patients. so now downing street has confirmed rishi sunak will have his weekly audience with the king over the phone following his majesty's cancer diagnosis. >> meanwhile, the prince of wales has made his first public appearance since a series of health blows to the royals . he health blows to the royals. he carried out an investiture, a ceremony where he formally hands out state honours at windsor castle. prince william is expected to carry out further

phone conversations with the prime minister and it comes as the monarch rests at his sandringham estate number 10. and buckingham palace took the unusual step of confirming details weekly call in details about the weekly call in an attempt to show the king was carrying his duties as carrying on with his duties as normal. meanwhile prince william returned to royal duty today after wife abdominal after his wife abdominal operation and he conducted an investiture at windsor palace. we've heard in the last hour that prince harry is on his lonely way back to the us after his speedy flying visit to the uk. well gb news presenter pip tomson is in windsor with all the latest pip bring us up to speed on the king's recovery . speed on the king's recovery. >> good afternoon martin. yeah i think we just need a little bit of clarification here because what hasn't been confirmed is whether this weekly audience with the prime minister over the phoneis with the prime minister over the phone is going to happen indefinitely. what we do know is that today's conversation was happening on the phone, and that

came from the prime minister's spokesperson, when he was asked if rishi sunak would travel to sandringham for his discussion with the king, and they said, we are going to get into the are not going to get into the habit of commenting on the prime minister's conversations with the king, but we have agreed with the palace in this specific instance to confirm that they will be speaking on the phone later. now, normally that weekly private audience happens at buckingham palace. it happens, uh, every wednesday they discuss government matters, but of course , we don't know any detail course, we don't know any detail about that conversation between them . now, earlier today i'm at them. now, earlier today i'm at windsor castle because prince william was back on public duty for the first time in three weeks. and of course, for the first time since his father, king charles, was diagnosed with a form of cancer , prince william a form of cancer, prince william was handing out honours, some 50 honours to people from all walks of life, and they include , added of life, and they include, added former england footballer ellen white. and of course, there were

plenty of people who wanted to send their best wishes to king charles through his son. so we spoke to ellen and some other people who were handed their honours by prince william. he was always due to do this investiture ceremony today he can do it. princess anne can do it alongside king charles. but it alongside king charles. but it wasn't a case of prince william stepping in for king charles. this was always in the diary. and this is what some of the recipients told us that my best wishes to the king. um, and obviously to kate as well, um, to prince, princess of wales, but yeah. >> no, he was he was lovely . um, >> no, he was he was lovely. um, and, uh, yeah, it was, it was incredible to, to meet him again and to obviously for him to, to give me the mbe. so yeah, it was a very special day to have the recognition for the work that little hearts matter does. >> and amazing think that >> and amazing to think that people are interested in what the families go through. >> we didn't know who who we >> and we didn't know who who we would have. >> and everybody's not would have. >> a|around, everybody's not would have. >> a|around, i everybody's not would have. >> a|around, i waserybody's not would have. >> a|around, i was thinking, not would have. >> a|around, i was thinking, oh, been around, i was thinking, oh, i who might we might

the duke of sussex, who we now know has flown into the uk for all of 24 hours. we understood yesterday, didn't we, that he spent maybe just 35 45 minutes speaking to his father at clarence house before prince charles flew by helicopter to sandringham. prince harry has been suggested. spent the night in a luxury london hotel . well, in a luxury london hotel. well, he has now been spotted back at heathrow airport . but getting on heathrow airport. but getting on a flight that 5000 mile trip back to california. so he was here for 24 hours and spent some 35 minutes with his father of course, a lot of people would say , oh, it's none of our say, oh, it's none of our business what happens behind closed doors, but it just does make you wonder, doesn't it, that he spoke to him for such that he he spoke to him for such a short of time and then a short period of time and then he flew straight back again, quite a trip, wasn't it? in 24 hours. superb pip tom moore and thank you for that update from windsor. >> it just goes to show you life

goes on. the fans are sending their messages and poor old harry pootles back to california . is this just undermining underlining ? beg your pardon? underlining? beg your pardon? his irrelevance in the modern royal family now it's the home office in crisis. well, gb news has an exclusive leaked home office document which exposes britain's broken immigration system , and this comes as system, and this comes as reports suggest catholic and baptist churches helped clapham chemical attack suspect abdel azizi claim asylum and yet he still hasn't not been found. and you may also remember the nottingham triple killer valdo calocane , who brutally killed calocane, who brutally killed and stabbed three people to death in a nottingham well. he entered into the uk legally and today it's been emerging that he's entitled to claim thousands of pounds in state benefits . you of pounds in state benefits. you couldn't make it up . is our couldn't make it up. is our system completely broken? and also in the news today , a debate also in the news today, a debate kicks off in about an hour's time. is it time to deport

asylum seeker criminals from the uk? well, there's lots to get stuck into there and join me now in the studio is a conservative mp for ipswich, tom hunt. tom, welcome to the studio . let's welcome to the studio. let's start with the calocane situation in the vincent calocane. so valdo calocane emerged he's entitled to £360 a month of benefits. this is the law. but the mother of one of the killed, emma webber, barnaby's mum, saying this may be the law, but we strongly suggest the law is wrong and it urgently needs to be reviewed. >> i think she's right. i mean, i think that, you know, this is this is an individual who is killed, murdered and, uh, you know, three young people, um, you think this, you know, and i think it's this, this , this slight discrepancy this, this slight discrepancy about whether a prison or about whether it's a prison or whether a got a psychiatric whether it's a got a psychiatric or psychiatric element . or psychiatric element. >> ultimately, i do not >> uh, ultimately, i do not think should be receiving any think he should be receiving any money at all from a taxpayer. >> i think he's abused >> i think he's already abused the of the british taxpayer. he's already abused trust

>> he's already abused the trust of, people of this country. of, um, people of this country. >> so, no, i absolutely share the of the mother in the anger of the mother in question. >> meanwhile, ezedi , i >> meanwhile, abdul ezedi, i find astonishing. i don't find it astonishing. i don't know you, tom, that in know about you, tom, that in a city where you can't even drop a ciggie on the floor without getting a ticket, you can simply vanish if your vanish into thin air. if your name ezedi. huge name is abdul ezedi. huge questions asked after it questions being asked after it emerged yesterday his emerged yesterday about his criminal multiple sexual criminal record, multiple sexual offences and yet was still granted asylum on the third attempt. of course, after miraculous seeing the lights and converting to christianity. the big question is this tom, is the home office complete and utterly failing in its duty? well, i think there's a number of different elements here. >> i think one element is the role of the archbishop of canterbury. i think he seems to be very much against any kind of border control. he seems to be pro—open borders. >> control immigration. >> fights militates against. >> and a lot of his people follow leadership within the follow his leadership within the church exactly same church and do exactly the same thing. i think deeply thing. i think it's deeply concerning of a church concerning the role of a church of in relation the of england in relation to the immigration debate, in terms of

the we've seen the specific examples we've seen that helping people that have been helping people game terms of a game the system in terms of a home office, the problem is a lot of it is the human rights framework which we're framework within which we're operating. and i think, frankly, it those big it until we make those big changes, i think we're going to continue to struggle. >> and do think i have come to >> and i do think i have come to the conclusion time ago, the conclusion some time ago, for i think we for example, that i think we should european should leave the european convention of human rights. >> that is we will >> i think that is we will eventually end up leaving it. um, that's prediction. i'd um, that's my prediction. i'd rather sooner rather than later. >> i've heard a rumour swirling around that there around westminster that there could throw could be an attempt to throw that onto general that question onto the general action the same time action ticket. at the same time as a way forcing as a way of really forcing a point of difference between the conservatives the other conservatives and the other parties. is there any in parties. is there any merit in this rumour? >> so actually quite >> so i've actually got quite a niche on the echr. niche view on the echr. >> a lot of people think that, you because of the you know, because of the magnitude leaving it, we'd magnitude of leaving it, we'd have in a manifesto. have to put it in a manifesto. we'd sort of potentially even have have referendum on it. have to have a referendum on it. >> just it. >> i'd just leave it. >> i'd just leave it. >> i'm ultimately, it comes >> i'm ultimately, when it comes to having a mandate when to that, having a mandate when it manifestos. it comes to manifestos. >> we a really clear >> we had a really clear manifesto in 2019 to take back

control control of control, to take back control of our borders and was that our borders and that was that was broad headlights . was in broad headlights. >> and got a mandate of 80 >> and we got a mandate of 80 seats to take back control. and if is the case, the echr if it is the case, the echr amongst is amongst other things, is preventing us our ability to preventing us in our ability to fulfil that democratic mandate. we should simply leave it. and that brings me on to the next point. the rwanda files. the gb news has seen leaked documents from the home office . it from the home office. it revealed that only 12% of illegal arrivals would be removed each year in the best case scenario, this is the systemic attempt to derail rwanda to prevent the flights getting off the ground. who's responsible? >> look, i think that the most depressing thing is that the rwanda scheme hasn't been given a chance to work. >> i continue to believe wholeheartedly if you got flights off at scale , go to flights off at scale, go to rwanda and potentially other safer countries, and i think others would fall into line after if rwanda was seen to work. i think we could get other

agreements, other countries. >> i think it would have a it would provide a deterrent. >> it would have major impact >> it would have a major impact in of the number of people in terms of the number of people trying here. but the trying to get here. but the problem is, until that deterrence up working, deterrence up and working, and whilst limited means whilst we have the limited means placed by things the placed on us by things like the european convention human european convention of human rights, to be really, rights, it's going to be really, really difficult. >> tom, um, miss >> and presumably, tom, um, miss screens like abdul would screens like abdul ezedi would have deported rwanda have been deported to rwanda a long if that scheme long time ago if that scheme were place. were in place. >> mean, we're problem >> yeah, i mean, we're problem is, appear have system is, we appear to have a system at where the at the moment where the interests the british interests of the british citizen, is right at the citizen, um, is right at the bottom the pile when it comes bottom of the pile when it comes to list of priorities and to the list of priorities and the top individuals like him the top are individuals like him and at the bottom is, is the british is british taxpayer. british is a british taxpayer. and has to and i think that has got to change drastically because i think the danger is people just get fed up. get increasingly fed up. >> there's a deep unfairness to this mounting anger, and i think it falls to us to take action on this because we know the labour party got in of this will party got in all of this will get lot worse. get a lot worse. >> and what's fear? >> and what's my fear? >> and what's my fear? >> what's take on this kind >> what's your take on this kind of conversion therapy? happy racket is what some people are

calling it. it seems to be going on within the churches magically. seeing magically. we're seeing queues and queues asylum seekers and queues of asylum seekers seeing light becoming christian. >> this is this is ridiculous. i mean, it'd be one thing if somebody could clearly evidence that if you've been in iran, a making clearly evidence that they'd been a for christian a long time in and had been long time in iran and had been persecuted anecdotal long time in iran and had been persecute�*it anecdotal long time in iran and had been persecute�*it this anecdotal long time in iran and had been persecute�*it this isn't anecdotal long time in iran and had been persecute�*it this isn't what:dotal evidence, it this isn't what we're talking about. we're talking about people have talking about people who have come here and miraculously come over here and miraculously wants they're wants for here, decided they're a uh, and in the case a christian. uh, and in the case of this individual, this disgusting individual who threw alkaline on the faces of a woman and children , you know, he, he, and children, you know, he, he, his friends still say he's a practising muslim , you know, but practising muslim, you know, but but i've seen it. i've seen it. i've seen some examples of this locally. i remember going to a church, and i was a bit church, um, and i was a bit sceptical. there's a group sceptical. uh, there's a group of who of people at the back who allegedly were had just converted christianity. and converted to christianity. and i remember up to him and remember going up to him and probing him it and saying, probing him on it and saying, look was a key moment where look what was a key moment where you found lord? what was it? you found the lord? what was it? and being basically and being met with basically blank not not a huge

blank looks and not not a huge amount of in terms of by way of amount of in terms of by way of a response. comprehension a response. so no comprehension whatsoever. is the whatsoever. the problem is the archbishop of canterbury is running england running the church of england into ground. congregations running the church of england intcdwindlingd. congregations running the church of england intcdwindling. uh,»ngregations running the church of england intcdwindling. uh, and�*gations running the church of england intcdwindling. uh, and iations running the church of england intcdwindling. uh, and i think are dwindling. uh, and i think it's because he's taken his eye off, which is off, off his day job, which is to preach the gospel. >> well, turning a >> well, he's turning to a newfound baptist. so newfound john the baptist. so long as you're a certain demographic. need to quickly long as you're a certain denyouaphic. need to quickly long as you're a certain denyou about need to quickly long as you're a certain denyou about areed to quickly long as you're a certain denyou about a biti to quickly long as you're a certain denyou about a bit of) quickly long as you're a certain denyou about a bit of ajuickly long as you're a certain denyou about a bit of a hoo:ly long as you're a certain denyou about a bit of a hoo ha ask you about a bit of a hoo ha today pmqs, keir starmer, today at pmqs, cuz keir starmer, um, demanding rishi sunak upon anses um, demanding rishi sunak upon arises about comment arises about a comment where rishi number of rishi claimed that a number of u—turns had made, one u—turns that storm had made, one of trans issues, of which was on trans issues, saying 99% of women in can saying that 99% of women in can have a can't have a penis, which means that 1% can. he then turned it to brianna, joy's mother , who was in the gallery mother, who was in the gallery today said shame and today and said shame and demanded apology. what's your demanded an apology. what's your take on this? >> well, have to say, i mean, >> well, i have to say, i mean, i've obviously got huge sympathy with you know, the with the, um, you know, the family member of the, um, person who was who was who was who was killed, um, but i really don't think that that tragic case is associated in any way with what the prime minister said today.

the prime minister raised a legitimate point about sir keir starmer's, uh, flexible hs2 on the issue of what constitutes a woman. and i think it's legitimate for the prime minister to point that out. i don't even know whether the prime minister was aware who was in gallery today. probably in the gallery today. probably not. know, would not. um, you know, he would have. raised a question have. he raised a question about, uh, which went to the core starmer, the man, core of keir starmer, the man, and fluidity of all of and his the fluidity of all of his views. i think he was he his views. and i think he was he was entitled to do so. >> is there now case been >> and is there now a case been made, would you say that starmer has grieving mother has thrown this grieving mother into spotlight? into the media spotlight? i mean, press will mean, the press will be harassing her now for a statement. >> seems very >> it it seems very inappropriate and if i was sir keir starmer, it's certainly not something would do . uh, and i something i would do. uh, and i and i've conflating the two things i think is, you know, sort of highly inappropriate and somehow insinuating the prime minister deliberately minister sort of deliberately did offence did this to cause offence to somebody it's somebody who was grieving. it's absurd um, think it's , it's absurd. um, i think it's, it's a wrong move by keir starmer . the wrong move by keir starmer. the prime minister was entitled to say what he, what he said. and i'm pleased that, you know, he's not what he

yean >> and then he was released last year, last february . but within year, last february. but within six weeks of being released, he was back behind bars, having , was back behind bars, having, um, having not not fulfilled the conditions of his licence. it's thought that he allegedly was found to be downloading indecent images of children. well, the parole hearing was held in private over the last couple of weeks . um, normally these things weeks. um, normally these things very often you can find out more information, but it was felt that it should be done in private. uh, in respect to his victims, the parole board was basically considering two issues. firstly whether there was any chance of him re—offending and secondly , they re—offending and secondly, they were looking at his conduct in prison, whether he'd shown any remorse, any contrition. uh and that again feeds into the idea of whether he would be safe to be let out. so on those two counts today, the, the parole board has said that it found on the evidence that at the time of the evidence that at the time of the offending, the original offending and also while he was out on licence last year, mr

gadd still had a sexual interest in underage girls. this is something that he personally has denied , though. they also looked denied, though. they also looked at his behaviour and they said that he's shown a lack of victim empathy. he's shown very little remorse. he has apologised in pubuc remorse. he has apologised in public but it was felt by the victims and by, uh, various lawyers and various people that that apology didn't come across as particularly severe and was a long time ago. he's also said that he hasn't taken a part in taking part in any of the rehabilitation programmes that have been offered to him in prison . um, nothing has been prison. um, nothing has been done to address his offending, to look at the causes of those offending. and they said that that he still continues to have an interest in young children. well, the decision came after and i quote here, after considering the circumstances of his offending , the lack of his offending, the lack of progress made while he's in custody and out on licence, and the other evidence presented at the other evidence presented at

the hearing , the panel was not the hearing, the panel was not satisfied that release at this point would be safe for the protection of the public. rather, the panel considered that mr gadd was appropriately located in custody behind me here in portland, where outside spending levels of risk could be addressed. well, the 79 year old may not necessary spend the rest of his life behind bars. he will be up for parole again. we're not sure exactly when that will be, but there will come a time automatically when he'll be up for parole again . but certainly for parole again. but certainly for parole again. but certainly for now , he's staying well and for now, he's staying well and truly behind bars. >> okay. thank you jeff moody for all the latest on the singer gary glitter, real name paul gary glitter, real name paul gary tan today denied parole. now there's lots more still to come between now and 4:00, including claims from mps that rishi sunaks decision to scrap the birmingham to manchester leg of hs2 represents poor value for money. but first, here's your latest news headlines with sophia wenzler.

>> you're listening to gb news news . radio. news. radio. welcome back. >> it's 337. you're watching or listening to martin daubney on gb news. i'm with you until 6:00. live from the heart of westminster. now mps are voicing their concerns as they worry that building hs2 between london and birmingham will be poor value for money. hs2's executive

chairman , sirjohn thompson, chairman, sir john thompson, says this section alone will cost more than £665 says this section alone will cost more than £66.5 billion, far exceeds the original budget of a mere . £44.5 billion. well of a mere. £44.5 billion. well joining us now to discuss this in the studio as our political correspondent, katherine forster. catherine, this is as old as the hills. this story now it's £100 billion and counting . it's £100 billion and counting. it's a white elephant, not a single passenger has moved. will it ever start? >> well , it it ever start? >> well, it sounds from what these mps are, are saying that we've ended up in the worst of all possible worlds. >> because, of course , remember, >> because, of course, remember, this was a project conceived under under labour, championed by consecutive conservative mps, supposed to go in a y shape. london euston to birmingham, then in two wise, one to leeds, one to manchester. connect our great northern cities actually not to each other, but to london. the line to leeds was cancelled a couple of years ago ,

cancelled a couple of years ago, then rishi sunak went up to manchester, the conservative party conference where he stood there and told that city it wasn't coming there and now what? the bit remaining the rump as the chair of the public accounts committee says , um, accounts committee says, um, from birmingham to old oak common, they like it to go through to euston , but there is through to euston, but there is no guarantee of that either. it depends entirely on if they can get a enough private sector funding. so we end up with what should have been a y, and we've got a little bit going from somewhere west of london to birmingham doesn't solve the issues in the north at all. doesn't it increase connectivity between our great northern cities is dire, does nothing for that. cities is dire, does nothing for that . it costs an absolute bomb. that. it costs an absolute bomb. and i think worth saying too. i mean pictures of the tunnels up on screen. a lot of the reason clearly bad management, but a lot of the reason why the cost is astronomic on that section is

because the vast majority of that journey is now going to be either in underground tunnels or in deep, deep cuttings because so many objections were raised by people living nearby that has sent the cost through the roof , sent the cost through the roof, which has meant that the government has felt they can't afford to run it to leeds and manchester, and we we're ending up with something they're saying is the exact words will not be value for money, as its total cost significantly out ways. its benefits . now they're saying if benefits. now they're saying if it had run as was originally planned to manchester and leeds, the cost benefit analysis they would have got more money back, more benefit fit per mile. but that it has gone huge amounts of money spent . but the government money spent. but the government saying it's the right decision, saying it's the right decision, saying they're doing it for the lowest reasonable cost. um, and they don't want to cancel it. i think partly because they'd have thrown 11 billion down the drain

. um, but also, i suspect because how embarrassing , how because how embarrassing, how embarrassing to spend a decade and more talking about this. and then scrap the whole thing. i think part of the old oak to common birmingham is a bit of face saving. >> well, there's lots of wise , >> well, there's lots of wise, you said wise. why spend £100 billion and not get anything off the ground? why go to old, old oak common, which is like going to stansted and calling it london? it means you've got to transfer onto the tube. well, and going to eradicate and that's going to eradicate any why charge any time saving. why charge people the privilege people so much for the privilege ? andy burnham and the ? but today andy burnham and the mayor birmingham, they're mayor of birmingham, they're gathering. right, because they're still convinced they can breathe this. breathe life into this. >> yes, because a lot of >> well, yes, because a lot of the ground properties have already been sold. land has already been sold. land has already been sold. land has already been bought. they're very keen to salvage something from this. and when this announcement was made back late last year , andy street who west last year, andy street who west midlands mayor bear in mind a concern mayor was deeply , deeply concern mayor was deeply, deeply unhappy and on the verge of resigning even though it goes to

birmingham. andy burnham, mayor of greater manchester, of course, completely livid . but course, completely livid. but they are trying to salvage something, so they're currently meeting. there's a there's a press conference going on at the moment , but they press conference going on at the moment, but they are press conference going on at the moment , but they are talking to moment, but they are talking to the private sector. the meeting today, they're reviewing the area. i'm just looking at this map here between sort of stoke on trent , crewe, stafford , but on trent, crewe, stafford, but basically between birmingham and manchester. seeing how they can improve it because they have a huge problem with capacity . part huge problem with capacity. part of the reason for hs2 was speed to get there quicker, but a lot of it was capacity. they simply don't have the capacity on those existing lines, but whether they will be able to drum enough private investment up to really make a significant difference is , uh, well, we shall have to see. well it'd be a miracle, i think, if they did, i campaigned twice in this area. >> i was an mep for the west midlands. i didn't meet a single

person who wanted it. i just didn't meet a single voter who wanted it. i met many, many people were dead against it people who were dead against it because environmental because of the environmental damage it caused. a feeling that it get londoners it was designed to get londoners to fro to birmingham. to and fro to birmingham. ten minutes about minutes fast. well, what about local services? they local transport services? they were 2019 levelling up were promising 2019 levelling up now treating the regions with parity. we haven't seen transport improve across the midlands, across the pennines, across east, west rather than north and south. it always seems to london policy . to be a london centric policy. >> it does indeed. and i mean you birmingham you could get to birmingham pretty the first pretty quickly in the first place. already , but place. manchester already, but you manchester, leeds, you know, manchester, leeds, hull , liverpool, all hull, liverpool, all those millions people , 17 million millions of people, 17 million people in the north of england , people in the north of england, the connectivity shocking. it the connectivity is shocking. it takes the same to get from takes about the same to get from leeds to manchester the train leeds to manchester on the train now, did about 50 years now, as it did about 50 years ago, which is really dreadful. so yes, you can go back the east west if you were to go back in time and it shouldn't always be about getting to and from london. but as you say, i mean look at london, we've got this

brand fabulous new elizabeth line. no expense spared . people line. no expense spared. people in the north of england will be looking and thinking, well, you know, hs2, at least it was something. but they feel that their transport links have been totally neglected . totally neglected. >> yeah, they've got a great point there. thank you. catherine for i mean i point there. thank you. catherine fori mean i got catherine for i mean i got a train from nottingham to, to lincoln i'm not joking. lincoln and i'm not joking. i was looking the window. a was looking out the window. a tractor overtook train. tractor overtook the train. that's where we're at. and these people are bang on about saving ten london. ten minutes getting to london. i sometimes if they live in sometimes wonder if they live in the same world as us. thank you. catherine great now catherine great stuff. now you're and listening you're watching and listening to gb up. we'll be gb news coming up. we'll be heading after heading to bristol after hundreds past hundreds of queued in the past couple of days in the vain hope of nhs dental treatment. is the nhs or is it something nhs to blame or is it something else? on gb else? i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel .

when the trouble, because the wind will be blowing as well. >> you're listening to gb news radio .

radio. >> welcome back. it's 348. you're watching or listen to martin daubney on gb news now. dentists will be offered a golden hello payment of up to £20,000 to address the shortage of dental appointments in the uk. rishi sunak hopes it will see more than a million extra people get their choppers checked and bring an end to scenes like this in bristol, where hundreds of people have been queuing outside a new dental practice in the vain hope of getting registered. these past two days. well, let's cross now to bristol and speak with gb news national reporter theo chikomba , who's been outside chikomba, who's been outside that dentist and theo extra ordinary scenes that seem to represent not only broken britain , but the absolute britain, but the absolute vanity, the forlorn hope of even dreaming of getting a dental space. these days . space. these days. >> yes, well , it's a desperate >> yes, well, it's a desperate situation for people who live in this area. >> as you said in the last two

days, hundreds of people have been queuing outside this. so being inside the practice this afternoon and people just being turned away, they had to lock the doors. so they've got an issue where they've registered 1500 people, but many more people who live in this area are still coming here to try and get that appointment. so it's a situation which is . uh, situation which is. uh, apologies, apologies for that. um, but we've got this situation where people are coming here desperately trying to get an appointment, and they're being turned away. and it's a situation which is an example of what's happening around the country where some practices have had to close and others are starting to reopen, and everyone flocks to them to try and get a place . now, we heard from the place. now, we heard from the operations manager , and this is operations manager, and this is what she told me earlier today. >> it's been overwhelming there in a way we didn't expect that much crowd. uh, on the day one, we had to get the police involved because they were fighting . people were arguing

fighting. people were arguing and jumping the queue and the second day we had to get the bouncers in, uh, on our personal expense because we, the police could not come in the next day. so the third day today, we decided we're not going to do any enrolment because we've already enrolled 1500 people already enrolled 1500 people already , and we want to do it in already, and we want to do it in already, and we want to do it in a phased way. we want to actually see those 1500 patients. it's no point enrolling and enrolling and not seeing those patients. so we've started seeing patients today and also so, uh, trying to get people not to queue up and do it in a way that it's a phased way. and people are not queuing up. and people are not queuing up. and it's good for the staff as well. that they can actually come to the premises without jumping from the queue or getting a problem because they're not happy as well . and they're not happy as well. and that's that's the reason . yeah. that's that's the reason. yeah. now of course, we've heard this £20,000, which is being offered to practices if they open a

practice in an area which is currently under served. >> the head dentist here tells me it's a drop in the ocean because we've seen a similar ideas put forward by the government in years gone by. but of course, it's yet to be seen whether or not this will make a difference. but for now, though, there is still huge frustration in this area as people are expecting to come to this dentist. i've been waiting for many months since it closed last yeah many months since it closed last year. now it's opened and they can't get a place to go. theo theo chikomba thank you for that update . live from bristol i want update. live from bristol i want to talk about this story. this is something that i've been looking at since it started. there's an extraordinary picture. i don't know if we have it taken. appears by a drone. you see the overhead queue you can see the overhead queue outside this dentist outside of this dentist in bristol . it's snakes around the bristol. it's snakes around the block . the queue was so big that block. the queue was so big that in the end , police were called in the end, police were called because people were shoving to the front and it was just getting rather raw , rowdy and is

getting rather raw, rowdy and is this about the broken state of nhs dentistry . £200 million nhs dentistry. £200 million extra per year, apparently is being called for to cope with the shortfall of appointments. we already spend £3 billion per year every year on nhs dentistry and clearly the system is stretched to breaking point is over capacity. so many people so often at gb news write in and tell us getting a dental appointment or for that matter, appointment or for that matter, a gp appointment has become the stuff of fantasy. this all started to go terribly wrong dunng started to go terribly wrong during lockdown. a lot of gps stayed away, a huge backlog, one of the unforeseen circumstan as you could say, although a lot of us did see it coming of people staying at home, unable to get to dentists, pulling their teeth out with pliers, sometimes diy dental . stree and still all dental. stree and still all going through this terrible conundrum . when the dentist

conundrum. when the dentist reopened of trying to get an appointment. but this particular dentist is very , very dentist is very, very interesting. look at the close up pictures of the queue. look at the area. look at the area . at the area. look at the area. the ashley ward of bristol . look the ashley ward of bristol. look at the demographics and we can see something which a lot of us have been talking about for a long time, and that is if you have uncontrolled immigration into the country , particularly into the country, particularly younger people , and they're younger people, and they're having their children and they're dropping into an area and boosting the population , and boosting the population, we've been saying for years that services will be stretched to the point of being non—existent . the point of being non—existent. and so when a new dentist opens in an area like this, don't forget people who've been living in this area for many, many years. they will already have a dentist, but those who haven't been there quite long, been living there quite so long, well, unable to well, they've been unable to get a take them onto a dentist to take them onto their books for years because as we know, in most towns

we all know, in most towns around britain, you'd be lucky to get a dental appointment if you tried. certainly to be able to register onto a new practice or an existing practice is becoming the stuff . as i said of becoming the stuff. as i said of fantasy . and so we have this fantasy. and so we have this dental practice here in saint pauls in bristol. dental practice here in saint pauls in bristol . when it opens, pauls in bristol. when it opens, it's literally getting mobbed around the block looking like some sort of food queue. now we said a long time ago this would be the inevitable consequence of opening our borders, and now we're seeing it. it has to be taken as a factor, particularly when you look at the demographics of this area. it's about 25% immigrant community, and there's about 15,000 people born in that area versus about 5000 people come from outside the area. and it just goes just goes to show you that's where we're at. okay . superb. so we're at. okay. superb. so there's lots more to come in the next hour. plenty more including

will ask is the home office in crisis? i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel . news, britain's news channel. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of whether on . gb views. >> hello again. >> hello again. >> it's aidan mcgivern here from the met office with the gb news forecast mild for the rest of today in the far south, with rain returning later on. cold elsewhere across the uk with further snow showers affecting the far north of scotland overnight. otherwise, clear spells for scotland, northern ireland and much of northern and central england , as well as central england, as well as nonh central england, as well as north wales. temperatures falling away here overnight but further south the cloud thickens , the wind picks up, outbreaks of rain return by dawn, heavy and persistent for some southern and persistent for some southern and southwestern parts of the uk. rain warning, of course, because could be some disruption early on. that rain is carried in by an atlantic wind , and

william was always due to host this investiture ceremony . it's this investiture ceremony. it's not a case of him standing in for his father. prince william does these ceremonies, as does princess anne, but there is nothing imminent in prince william's diary now, apart from this gala dinner in central london this evening for london air ambulance charity , he is due air ambulance charity, he is due to be making , air ambulance charity, he is due to be making, we air ambulance charity, he is due to be making , we understand, to be making, we understand, a short speech , so we'll be short speech, so we'll be interesting to hear and to see whether he does make reference to his father. but after that, well, half time is coming up so he will be helping i'm sure. look after his children here on the windsor estate at adam ant adelaide cottage and of course his wife catherine, the princess of wales. she is still recovering from that abdominal surgery . so prince william's, uh surgery. so prince william's, uh , royal duty today. that's the first time he's been back to work, i think since june the 11th. but of course, there's constant speculation that he's going to have to do more and more royal duties over the next

few weeks and months because his father is receiving treatment after that form of cancer diagnosed nhs's and he is currently convalescing at sandringham. now we also understand today that, as you mentioned, martin, that weekly audience with with rishi sunak, the prime minister which normally takes place in person at buckingham palace every wednesday , that today is being wednesday, that today is being conducted over the phone, now , conducted over the phone, now, whether that is indefinitely or whether that is indefinitely or whether that is just for today, has yet to be clarified. but it certainly has taken place over the phone. of course, we never know what they discuss. it is very much a private conversation, and there's afternoon. the duke of sussex, prince harry, he has been spotted at heathrow airport, believed to be on his way back to california . he flew in from to california. he flew in from there only yesterday. so he's beenin there only yesterday. so he's been in the uk for 24 hours. he spent 35 45 minutes with his

father, king charles, yesterday before king charles went to sandringham. and it does not appear that he has had any contact with his son prince william. but certainly some sort of relation ship. we can gather is continuing because he did spend a little bit of time with, with king charles. but of course he's he's not been back in the country. i mean, it's a long trip, isn't it, martin? ten or so hours on a flight, 30 odd minutes with his father, and now he's heading back to america . he's heading back to america. yeah, yeah , swamps and lots of yeah, yeah, swamps and lots of questions to be asked. >> thank you for that report. live from windsor. the king back to his duties. that's fantastic news. lots and lots of fantastic messages coming in. and does it underline the pointlessness, the superfluous nature now of harry? william doesn't even want to talk to him. he'll be getting back to duties. harry shuffling back to duties. harry shuffling back to duties. harry shuffling back to california and maybe this is the moment where the pubuc this is the moment where the public has finally just fallen

out of love with harry. now moving on, there's been some heated exchanges in the commons today during prime minister's question time. rishi sunak was accused of making an offensive transgender joke accused of making an offensive transgenderjoke by accused of making an offensive transgender joke by sir keir starmer, the labour leader said it was shameful as the mother of murdered transgender teenage brianna ghey was in the commons gallery. let's hear what was said . said. >> defining a woman. although although in fairness, that was only 99% of a u turn, that the list goes on. but the theme is the same. mr speaker, it's empty words, broken promises, and absolutely no plan . keir starmer absolutely no plan. keir starmer . of all of all the work of all the weeks to say that when brianna's mother is in this chamber , the shame parading as chamber, the shame parading as a man of integrity when he's got

absolutely no responsibility, he absolutely no responsibility, he absolutely . absolutely. >> okay , that's caused a huge , >> okay, that's caused a huge, huge furore in joining me now to discuss this in our studio is our political editor, chris hope. chris, welcome to the show. always a pleasure. what do you think is happening? can we stop with the basics. so at prime minister's question time for viewers who may not understand, do prime ministers know are? do know what the questions are? do they pre—prepared answers they have pre—prepared answers and know who's even and would they know who's even in the gallery? >> the pm won't know what the other side are going to ask. he they often they can have an idea of mps will ask about, of what tory mps will ask about, because often raising because often tory mps raising issues about constituency issues about their constituency or issue want to get or a policy issue want to get a good answer from their from their leader. so tip them their leader. so they tip them to good answer. to off get a good answer. a meeting may be a home office investigation. have you heard from tim raising the from tim loughton raising the issues migrants converting issues of migrants converting to christianity to maybe, maybe to avoid going being taken out of this that was one this country so that was one example. this situation? no, example. in this situation? no, the two leaders there were

reading out scripts ahead of what is a double by—election day next thursday. it's the last pmqs before the half time break. they both want to have a good kick at the other side and send them off off back , back with a them off off back, back with a spnng them off off back, back with a spring in their step . the sunak spring in their step. the sunak the pm, rishi sunak, was reading out a list of what he said were 30 u—turns by the government by by by labour. forgive me, one of them was defining a woman . yeah. them was defining a woman. yeah. although in fairness, that was only 99% of a u—turn. that's because there's some labour politicians don't want to say what a woman is because of the issue of in the trans debate, keir starmer then hit back because he knew that esther josh howie, murdered howie, the mother of murdered brianna ghey . she was about to brianna ghey. she was about to be in the gallery. now i understand that she wasn't actually in the gallery. she appeared a bit later after the exchange, but. >> and that begs the question, is this just cheap politics from starmer is because it's a valid criticism to say you don't know

what a woman is and is hitting back at that. but then starmer pivots to make about drawing pivots to make it about drawing a grieving mother whose child has been murdered . yeah. has been murdered. yeah. >> let's set aside whether she was the gallery, was or wasn't in the gallery, because can watch it on tv because you can watch it on tv at home be offended. so at home and be offended. so let's move past to let's let's move past that to one side. the left is one side. now the left is saying, this is the culture wars clashing life, with clashing with real life, with real and in this real grief. um, and in this afternoon, we've keir afternoon, we've seen keir starmer meet esther j. um, starmer meet with esther j. um, towards the end of the pmqs. we haven't shown it yet on air, um, rishi sunak made clear and gave a statement to clarify his position on the murder, saying that she demonstrates a compassion and empathy that she did is amazing. um, compassion and empathy that she did is amazing . um, the very did is amazing. um, the very best of humanity. yeah, i heard that. which is and that was him trying to say i'm separating out the two things. we also had esther mcvey, cabinet office esther mcvey, the cabinet office minister, pmqs live minister, on our show pmqs live and had this to say. and she had this to say. >> m said something which was correct. let's move the two issues separate out the two

issues. and one of them is about biological sex. what is a woman ? biological sex. what is a woman? and i'm afraid sir keir starmer can't say what a woman is . and can't say what a woman is. and that was the issue. so that's one issue. so rishi was right to say that, to point out the fact that labour can't say what a woman is and considering there's a lot of legacy on on what a woman is, that's important . woman is, that's important. totally separate was the most horrific , attack and horrific attack, attack and murder of brownite. that was absolutely awful and you should not be conflated. >> what are you saying? what is a woman? he's not going to go out the trans community? >> absolutely and in >> absolutely not. and i in fact, i thought hugely fact, i thought it was hugely crass that sir keir starmer should even have tried to conflate the two. >> so here, grieving mothers, um , you know, a mazing way she's carried herself is now part of the political debate, which isn't, frankly, great. i think . isn't, frankly, great. i think. i think it was clumsy. i think that he had a list of they were trying to go after, you know, sir flip flop as they call in on the tory side and having a go at starmer, they had a list of

things he's he's reversed his positions on. they shouldn't have chamber. have said that in the chamber. >> now mean i covered the >> but now i mean i covered the brianna ghey jaiswal since the beginning. often couple of times i had to to i had cut to a break. i was crying, it was so, so moving. the victim impact statements and mother and the father read out, um, the crown prosecution service statements , prosecution service statements, the detail from that case. incredibly, incredibly moving. i just don't believe that rishi sunak would willingly throw this in there as a point. it seems clumsy, but my question to you is this has keir starmer now put a grieving mother, esther joy, a grieving mother, estherjoy, in the media spotlight? presumably the media will be trying to get a statement from her on this. well, is that fair? >> it makes it political. >> it makes it political. >> angela renee, the deputy leader, arranged for the meeting with esther joy . um, it is it's with estherjoy. um, it is it's difficult, i think, that it was just inappropriate to make that remark when someone in the was in the room who deserves maximum

respect at the moment . and it respect at the moment. and it was a mistake. i mean, of course, on everyone who's got a view on rishi sunak is piling in, saying this is i mean, stephen flynn, the snp westminster leader, saying that he's degraded his office, etc. um, it was just it was definitely the wrong thing to say. but i think the whole idea of what is a woman in that culture wars, space number 10 are are clear to me this afternoon. they're going to keep saying this kind of thing, but they can say as you heard from esther mcvey, you separate out those being critical those cases from being critical of position of the labour of the position of the labour party. >> okay, hope, thank you >> okay, chris hope, thank you very me know very much for that. let me know what think. should rishi what you think. should rishi apology or not? um, before that you're watching or listening to gb keir starmer says gb news sir keir starmer says the prime has parts the prime minister has let parts of without basic of the country go without basic dental right? i'll dental care. is he right? i'll be by the shadow health be joined by the shadow health secretary shortly. i'm martin

do a proper job. do a properjob. well, let's see you're listening to gb news radio . radio. >> welcome back.

>> welcome back. >> it's 423 now. the metropolitan police have given an update on the manhunt for abdul ezedi and gb news reporter ray addison joins us live now to give us that update. ray, what's the latest ? the latest? >> yeah. good evening. martin. well met police telling us in that latest briefing that this is now being treated as an attempted murder investigation. one week on from that horrific assault last wednesday , the 31 assault last wednesday, the 31 year old victim remains sedated and police have been unable to get any information from her. however, they do say now that they've found very strong indications that they were in a relationship and the motive could have been that the relationship had broken down. they've had well over 500 calls across 999 and the dedicated 24 hour hotline, and they can reveal now that they've now tracked azadi, the last known sighting on cctv was at 11 pm. now crossing vauxhall bridge in

london, and then onto vauxhall bridge road in the direction of grosvenor road. now the focus now for the met will be where did he go from that point onwards ? um, they do state that onwards? um, they do state that they believe that the direct target of the attack was the 31 year old woman and the children were injured in directly as a result of the attack. now, they say that tonight at 725, they're going to be issuing what they're calling an anniversary appeal to members of the to public come forward if they know something. they're also stressing that the national crime agency and hospitals which have been treating the 31 year old female victim , are saying that azad's victim, are saying that azad's injury is analysis of those injuries. look significant and they believe that he could develop sepsis . and if he does develop sepsis. and if he does develop sepsis. and if he does develop sepsis, this could prove fatal. so they're saying for your own good, walk into the

nearest police station and just give yourself up you ray addison for that update on the abdul ezedi case. >> we'll have much more on that throughout the show. but first, let's turn to that political row over the nhs , which took place over the nhs, which took place in the today . over the nhs, which took place in the today. sir keir in the commons today. sir keir starmer the prime starmer accused the prime minister of letting parts of the country without basic dental country go without basic dental care. comes as the government care. it comes as the government announced a new plan to boost the number of dental appointments across england. speaking at prime minister's questions, the labour leader said of conservative said 14 years of conservative government has seen the nhs fall into neglect . however, the prime into neglect. however, the prime minister criticised labour's plan for the nhs , saying it plan for the nhs, saying it includes billions of unfunded spending commitments . well, spending commitments. well, we're joined on the show now by labour's wes streeting. of course he is the shadow health secretary who joins me live from westminster . wes, welcome to the westminster. wes, welcome to the show. fantastic to have you on. so the government today throwing a lot of extra money at dentistry extra 200 million

pledge, including 20 grand sweeteners , signing on fees for sweeteners, signing on fees for dentists who take on new patients . is dentists who take on new patients. is this enough ? patients. is this enough? >> well, a lot of what the government put forward today in terms of extra appointments and that targeted recruitment to get dentists into areas that are the most poorly served, our proposals was labour's put forward previously , so i'm not forward previously, so i'm not going to knock that. what i do dispute is the prime minister's argument that this is a recovery plan. when we put forward those measures, we were clear about the fact that those were emergency measures to deal with the immediate crisis . emergency measures to deal with the immediate crisis. but we won't rebuild nhs dentistry without reform of the nhs dentistry contract , because dentistry contract, because what's happened is that the income for dentists, the difference between what they get for their private practice and what they get for their nhs practice has widened to the extent that the dentists are now handing back the dentistry contracts. nhs dentistry has become virtually non—existent in

significant parts of the country and we've got now in dentistry a situation where those who can afford it or or in some cases people who can't afford it but are borrowing to pay for it, are going private. and those who can't afford it or can't borrow now are being left behind. and it's the worst of all worlds terrible for patients. and we've heard some horrific examples of diy dentistry , but also bad . for diy dentistry, but also bad. for taxpayers because if you don't get there early with dental problems and regularly maintaining your teeth and looking after them, you end up with conditions that take you to a&e, which costs an arm and a leg for the nhs to deal with in hospital. so it's bad for patients and bad for the taxpayer. and frankly, after 14 years of conservative government promising to reform the nhs dentistry contract back in 2010, what today was too what we got today was too little, late and what little, too late and what i couldn't believe it when the health secretary said, oh, we're going do contract reform in going to do contract reform in 2025. after general 2025. that's after the general election. trying to election. who is she trying to kid? they broke the promise in

2010 and in 2015 and in 2017. and what's going to and in 2019. what's going to make 2024 any different? and i hope people bear that in mind when they go to the ballot box later this year. >> okay, mr streeting, let me put it to you. we have pictures on the screen now. appalling scenes in bristol. you've no doubt them. and doubt seen them. hundreds and hundreds patients queuing hundreds of patients queuing around block situation . you around the block situation. you were. their situation is so bad. the police were called to dissipate crowd. what would dissipate the crowd. what would labour do about fixing this? and actually, is this a symptom of just the fact we've been saying for years ? dentists, gp's , for years? dentists, gp's, schools, everything is stretched to breaking point because of increased population boom and immigration. well i'd say a couple of things in response to that. >> i mean, i was i was at that practice in bristol at 7:00 this morning. there was already a queue outside, and i asked people why they were there. and i got some absolute horror stories. i mean, one woman has taken of days now

taken a couple of days now off work she's desperate to work because she's desperate to get her 14 year old son signed up that dentist. another up to that nhs dentist. another woman already paid £100. woman had already paid £100. hundreds of pounds for a temporary filling. but to get the fix that she needs, the permanent fix will cost her well over £1,000 and she just doesn't have it. so that's the scale of the crisis we see after 14 years, what labour would do is fundamental reform of the nhs dentistry contract . as i've dentistry contract. as i've argued on gb news plenty of times before, not all of the problems in the nhs come down to money, but i do accept that in dentistry, money is part of the answer will be answer and what people will be shocked hear that last shocked to hear is that last year there was a £400 million underspend in the nhs dentistry budget and that reflects the staggering incompetence of the government, because if that £400 million went into contract reform , um, there'd be more reform, um, there'd be more dentists on a permanent basis. and what the dentists have said today is, is, is that the government haven't put forward a serious long firm plan that would help us to not just recruit more dentists, but retain the dentists we already

have the that will have and the ones that will recruit into the future more broadly and broadly on on population and population management, we know that a challenge. we know that is a challenge. we know that is a challenge. we know that net migration varne are a record highs . and actually one record highs. and actually one of the things i've been saying as the shadow health secretary is that while i'm proud of the fact that lots of people have come from around the world to work in our national health service, true for 75 service, that's been true for 75 years what we've seen is an years now. what we've seen is an overreliance on recruitment of workers from overseas, often from that have got from countries that have got desperate shortages of their own countries nepal, for countries like nepal, for example, where they desperately need care need their own health care workers same as workers at the same time as we've turning british we've been turning away british students straight—a students with straight—a grades from studying and other from studying medicine and other related courses at our universities . in fact, some universities. in fact, some british universities . and i'm british universities. and i'm not exaggerating this were only taking international students because they were receiving letters from the government, banning them from recruiting home—grown students. >> i don't think that's fair, but it's also incredibly shortsighted . mr streeting, i shortsighted. mr streeting, i totally agree with my totally agree with that. my question was rather the number

of that need be of patients that need to be treated , because seen treated, because we've seen effectively a net immigration this of almost 800,000 goes this year of almost 800,000 goes without saying that we're going to run out of dentists, we're going to run out of gps, we're going to run out of gps, we're going to run out of schools if we're not careful. how would that be tackled? is the answer simply endless at simply to throw endless money at this issue? £3 billion per year goes dentistry already. the goes into dentistry already. the answer isn't money. surely the answer isn't money. surely the answer isn't money. surely the answer is border control. so well, i do think on immigration, of course, border control is part of the answer. >> and that's not just true in terms of illegal migration, where i think the government's gone for gimmicks rather than serious solutions, but also on in terms of managed migration , in terms of managed migration, if we're serious about reducing our country's reliance on overseas workers, you know, you need a serious plan for skills, which is what labour's put forward with more technical education to give young people right across the country the chance to train up in those

industries where we do have serious skill shortages, because i recognise the fact that in the immigration debate , a lot of the immigration debate, a lot of the anxieties that i hear when i talk to people, not just in my own constituency, where people are proud of their roots from around the world, but in other constituencies, too , is that constituencies, too, is that worry about the housing, infrastructure, public services, infrastructure, public services, infra structure, and those are legitimate concerns and why we need our migration need to manage our migration system more effectively . and system more effectively. and again, it comes back to what i was saying about dentistry. this lot have had 14 years now. i hope people bear that in mind and give change a chance at the next general election. >> okay, wes streeting shadow health thank very health secretary, thank you very much joining on gb news. much forjoining us on gb news. thank you very now, we'll thank you very much. now, we'll have on that story have lots more on that story between now and 5:00, because we're to we're crossing over live to bristol, where of bristol, where hundreds of people, just said, have people, as we just said, have been with a vain attempt been queuing with a vain attempt of register with an of trying to register with an nhs dentist. and does britain actually have a dental crisis beyond by campaign group, which certainly thinks so. but first, here's your latest news

headunes here's your latest news headlines polly middlehurst headlines with polly middlehurst . the top stories this hour. >> the met police searching for the suspected chemical attacker, says abdul ezedi injuries could be fatal if he isn't treated as he remains at large . a week on he remains at large. a week on the met police have also revealed they've received hundreds of calls from the pubucin hundreds of calls from the public in the search for the suspected alkali attacker. they also say new pictures will be released shortly of where he has been. released shortly of where he has been . police say there is a very been. police say there is a very strong indication that the attacker and victim were in a relationship , attacker and victim were in a relationship, and attacker and victim were in a relationship , and the motive was relationship, and the motive was that the relationship had broken down. the metropolitan police is offering £20,000 in a reward for any information leading to his arrest. the last known sighting of him was at 11 pm. on wednesday night. in other of him was at 11 pm. on wednesday night . in other news, wednesday night. in other news, today , sir keir starmer has today, sir keir starmer has accused the prime minister of letting parts of the country go without basic dental care in the

mind up about really important issues . issues. >> dentists are being offered cash incentives by the government to take on new patients in areas of dire need. the new scheme aims to make dental appointments available to around a million more people across england . dentists are to across england. dentists are to be offered payments of between 15 and £50 for each new patient they take on. well, hundreds of people were queuing up outside a new nhs dental practice in bristol earlier on today and yesterday day, after a clinic offered to enrol new nhs patients . the shadow health patients. the shadow health secretary, wes streeting, says the government should have acted more quickly. it's the worst of all worlds, terrible for patients and we've heard some horrific examples of diy dentistry, also bad for dentistry, but also bad for taxpayers because if you don't get there early with dental problems and regularly maintaining your teeth and looking after them, you end up with conditions that take you to a&e, which costs an arm and a

leg for the nhs to deal with in hospital. >> so it's bad for patients and bad for the taxpayer. and frankly, after 14 years of conservative government promising to reform the nhs dentistry contract back in 2010, what we got today was too little, too late . little, too late. >> wes streeting now downing street has confirmed rishi sunak will continue to have his weekly audience with the king, but it will be conducted by phone following his majesty's cancer diagnosis. meanwhile the prince of wales has made his first pubuc of wales has made his first public appearance since his father's condition was made public. he led an investiture ceremony today, handing out state honours such as obes and mbes at windsor castle. prince william's expected to carry on with further royal duties in place of the king, along with support from the queen and princess anne for the very latest news stories do sign up to gb news alerts by scanning the qr code on your screen or go to gb news. com slash alerts .

returning to some semblance of normality and routine. >> yeah, very, very sensible indeed. >> he's obviously come up here to norfolk to get away from it all. >> it's very important that dunng >> it's very important that during the treatment of cancer here, that there is no contact with people outside the immediate family circle because infection is deadly in circumstances like that . um, and circumstances like that. um, and of course, when we think about prince harry, uh, i mean, it's difficult , uh, to see what he's difficult, uh, to see what he's accomplished. apart from collecting 11,000 air miles for a 45 minute meal, eating yesterday at clarence house, which could have been done on the telephone or by speaking to his father like i am speaking to you in vision, right now. and of course, when royal men, uh, greet , meet each other, it's greet, meet each other, it's customary to greet each other by kissing each other on the cheek. well, that would have been absolutely impossible , because absolutely impossible, because prince harry had just come off an aeroplane 11 hours in a

pressurised cigar tube at 35,000ft, breathing the same air as 250 other people for him to actually have hugged his father or kissed his father on the cheek would have been a complete and utter no, no. so it's difficult to see why he came , difficult to see why he came, andindeed difficult to see why he came, and indeed why he's gone . and indeed why he's gone. certainly what he hasn't been doing is speaking to his brother, who we saw admirably carrying out his royal duties today , uh, at an investiture at today, uh, at an investiture at windsor castle. the contrast between the two brothers grows ever wider. do you think, michael, this trip has once for and all proven something that a lot of us have been thinking about you and i have been talking about for a long time? >> um, and that is, you know, harry's book was called spare, and now really is the spare and now he really is the spare proverbial in the royal family pointless, superfluous requirements. >> of course that's >> yeah, well, of course that's his choice . uh, the king, very his choice. uh, the king, very sensibly and wisely, has always made it clear to, uh, that harry is his son and is always welcome

that he loves him. so there was nothing yesterday for the king to apologise or explain during that 45 minute meeting. but i wonder if harry took some steps, at least some steps to mend the fences and to start apologising, because there's an awful lot to apologise . he's very hurtful, apologise. he's very hurtful, very cruel. uh, allegations against not just the king, but, uh, who he said was uncaring and unemotional , involved. and also unemotional, involved. and also the queen, camilla. uh, and, uh, the, the princess of wales. uh, can catherine, who now, of course, is recovering from her abdominal surgery and our thoughts will go with her. so there's a lot to be done whether there's a lot to be done whether there's ever going to be a possibility of a reconciliation with his brother . i would rather with his brother. i would rather doubt it at the moment. i think in the epic words of muhammad ali in in the context, there are two chances of that slim and none. uh and i think that's how it's going to continue until there's a very big change of

heart the camelot in heart at the camelot in california, where they should really actually be looking at themselves , that it's taken themselves, that it's taken a crisis like this. and it is a crisis like this. and it is a crisis within the royal family. the declaration of this cancer , the declaration of this cancer, a condition for the king. they should be thinking of themselves . what really matters in life, what is important, and put the trivial parties behind them. there they are , uh, handsome, there they are, uh, handsome, good looking people. two beautiful, healthy children . beautiful, healthy children. more money than you can shake a stick at people admiring them, people liking them , people people liking them, people giving them employment . what on giving them employment. what on earth have they got to be worried about? hmm. yeah >> michael cole, i think you've hit the nail on the head. a lot of people watching this will just think, you know, stop all the navel gazing. stop with the with the vanity, with the nazis ism, and actually be a son. actually thing for actually do the right thing for the first time in a long time. michael royal michael cole, former royal correspondent for bbc. thank you very much. it's always an absolute to you on the

absolute joy to have you on the show. now there's been some heated exchanges in the house of commons today during prime minister's time. rishi minister's question time. rishi sunak was accused of making an offensive transgender joke by sir keir starmer. the labour leader said it was shameful as the mother of murdered teenager brianna was in the commons brianna ghey was in the commons gallery and let's hear that exchange. what was said defining a woman . a woman. >> although, although in 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. >> of all, of all the work of all the weeks, to say that when brianna's mother is in this chamber , the shame parading as chamber, the shame parading as a man of integrity when he's got absolutely no responsibility . absolutely no responsibility. yeah, absolutely . well join me

>> information from there on the astonishing missing of abdul ezedi a week on at 725 tonight, there'll be a press conference and anniversary press conference, which in itself you think about it, is a pretty shameful thing to admit it. now, gary lineker has claimed that he was partly involved in drawing up new bbc social media guidelines , which came into guidelines, which came into force last year. the match of the day presenter has been criticised a number of times for expressing political views in his twitter comments, but lineker has described the impartiality row with the bbc as a lovers tiff . well join me now a lovers tiff. well join me now to discuss this. the former executive editor of the news of the world, neil wallace, neil, here we go again, lineker is writing the rules. he's marking his own homework at the bbc. >> he's loving it, isn't he? >> he's loving it, isn't he? >> he's loving it, isn't he? >> he's really , really loving >> he's really, really loving rubbing the nose of the bbc in what he's doing .

what he's doing. >> he is simply taking it as empowering him. >> he he clearly believes he is untouchable. >> he he can do what he likes, say what he likes. >> um, the idea of him, uh, as you say , uh, claiming to have you say, uh, claiming to have helped write the rules and the footage are just showing. >> now, you look at him, he's so pleased with himself. >> such an arrogant man . >> such an arrogant man. >> such an arrogant man. >> i do find it extraordinary that they put up with this. >> but it shows the lack of grip that the bbc have. it shows the lack of sort of sense of being in touch with how people are, that they allow him to get away with this . with this. >> and, you know, don't forget he's taking 1.35. i think it is millions of pounds out of licence fee payers money. that's, you know, you're on my money and he's just riding roughshod . and i find it roughshod. and i find it staggering . staggering. >> well, neil, um, he's not only

writing the law that basically puts him above the law . this puts him above the law. this latest revelation, it just says that lineker is unsackable . he that lineker is unsackable. he can say whatever he wants with impunity and damn the consequences. that's the craziness about it, isn't it? >> he has made himself. uh unrwa hackable out of this. >> or rather, the bbc have made him unsackable the more they've caved in, the more difficult it is to call him into line. >> and you see that far from having learned his lessons, he has continued to do what he likes on twitter . has continued to do what he likes on twitter. he has retweet, he has liked a labour mps anti—semitic tweets. he he um, uh , liked and uh, put um, uh, liked and uh, put forward a tweet. admittedly, he he later , uh, removed it that he later, uh, removed it that said how the israeli football team was being banned and, you know, this this seems to me what you can't get away from here that this is there is quite a

common touch in this. >> and that's something to do with anti—semitism. and i think the bbc, who really have a problem with this anyway , really problem with this anyway, really need to get a grip on it. problem with this anyway, really need to get a grip on it . and need to get a grip on it. and frankly, they should sack lineker . lineker. >> yeah. neil wallace um , i >> yeah. neil wallace um, i think many, many people listening will agree with this. lineker is the law . he's above lineker is the law. he's above the law. he's unsackable i'm afraid. i think he's going to get much, much worse. thank you for joining us neil wallace. now forjoining us neil wallace. now we have more bring in. we have plenty more to bring in. just moment. but first, here's just a moment. but first, here's your news headlines with your latest news headlines with polly middlehurst . polly middlehurst. >> and the top story this evening , police searching for evening, police searching for the suspected chemical attacker. abdul ezedi evading capture for a week now say there's a strong indication he was previously in a relationship with the victim that had since broken down in the met. police are also saying the met. police are also saying the attackers injuries could prove fatal if not treated, adding they've received hundreds of calls from the public trying to locate the suspected attacker

>> welcome back. it's 538. you're watching or listening to martin daubney on gb news. the prime minister has been criticised for aiming a political jibe about transgender people at labour leader sir keir starmer during pmqs earlier today. and let's remind ourselves of that exchange once more. defining a woman. >> although, although in 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 absolutely no plan . keir starmer. no plan. keir starmer. >> of all of all the work of all the weeks to say that when brianna's mother is in this chamber , the shame parading as chamber, the shame parading as a man of integrity when he's got

absolutely no responsibility . absolutely no responsibility. 80. absolute. >> so who do you think was in the wrong there? well joining me now to discuss this is former labour party spokesman james matthewson, who always gives as good as he gets. james, thank you joining us on the show. you for joining us on the show. so an exchange suddenly becomes a huge talking point. who do you think was in the wrong . well think was in the wrong. well martin won't surprise you to know that i think , uh, i mean to know that i think, uh, i mean to say that he's in the wrong is putting it very gently. >> i think from me, i'm actually furious about this, to be honest with you. >> um , this afternoon, since >> um, this afternoon, since that's happened , uh, i've taken that's happened, uh, i've taken the time check in on several the time to check in on several friends of mine who are trans , friends of mine who are trans, uh, including friends who've just recently transitioned, uh, including friends who've jushearently transitioned, uh, including friends who've jushear their transitioned, uh, including friends who've jushear their feelings�*ned, uh, including friends who've jushear their feelings about to hear their feelings about what said and the way that what was said and the way that it happened for the most powerful person in country powerful person in the country ready to punch down on trans people, you know, in a jibe and a throwaway jibe in a political

exchange for political points is bad enough to do so in front of the mother of a trans woman who was murdered and, you know, a young woman who was murdered with transphobia being a key part of that murder and a key part of that murder and a key part of that murder and a key part of the reason her life was taken. >> it's just beyond despicable. >> it's just beyond despicable. >> and i think it shows at best. you know, a complete lack of comprehension or, or consideration for the trans community and at worst , you community and at worst, you know, i mean, we've got to be pretty clear what we're talking about here, actually all, um, harmful direction of a of jibes and joke jokes and name calling and joke jokes and name calling and some of the most vulnerable people and some of the bravest people and some of the bravest people in our communities. >> yeah, but but but, people in our communities. >> yeah, but but but , james, the >> yeah, but but but, james, the point he was making, stripping aside, if we can, the fact that esther gye was in the gallery, she may actually i don't think she may actually i don't think she was. i think she was not in the gallery at the time. but putting that to one side, if we

can, rishi was making the point that keir starmer, the leader of the opposition, who could soon be the prime minister, seems to struggle with basically being able what a woman is able to define what a woman is andifs able to define what a woman is and it's valid criticism. and it's a valid criticism. you talk um, trans and it's a valid criticism. you talk are um, trans and it's a valid criticism. you talk are oppfessedi, trans and it's a valid criticism. you talk are oppressed in rans and it's a valid criticism. you talk are oppressed in this people are oppressed in this conversation. what about the most vulnerable for most vulnerable people? for example, women in prisons, women in women in in hospitals, women in rape crisis who would be crisis centres who would be confronted by by logical men if this trans ideology, which which the labour leader seems to issue becomes government policy . becomes government policy. >> i mean the mention of the of the word trans ideology . i take the word trans ideology. i take great, great discomfort with and to put it, mild discomfort. >> all you like to it, james. and to the question if vulnerable women are feeling like they're being attacked in prisons , then then rishi sunak prisons, then then rishi sunak has a point . a lot of people has a point. a lot of people agree with that. >> let me tell you who's let me tell been attacked. tell you who's been attacked. trans for times more trans people are for times more likely than you or i to be assaulted in this country that's just in this country , never mind just in this country, never mind worldwide, 52% of lgbt people

suffer with depression as it is to see the most influential person , or one of the most person, or one of the most influential people in our country, making a jibe at their expense. this wasn't about women . this wasn't about engaging in a series this way, about the gender debate or trying to fix problems or tackle solutions. this was about making a joke at keir starmer's expense and weaponize and trans people to do so. i'm endlessly proud of the trans people in my life because i'll tell you, the dictionary definition of bravery. the dictionary definition of bravery is having mental or moral strength to face danger, and nobody , i think, does that more nobody, i think, does that more than the people in the trans community at the moment. >> james, it's also a fair point to point out that if we go down the route of allowing , um, the route of allowing, um, biological men who become transgender women into women only spaces where they are at their most vulnerable hospitals , their most vulnerable hospitals, um, changing rooms , um, prisons ,

um, changing rooms, um, prisons, then it is fair to point out that that also it's brave to speak out against this because if we don't, we are heading to a direction where vulnerable women could be at risk . that's the could be at risk. that's the point . point. >> but there was no debate about that. that wasn't rishi sunak point. >> rishi sunak isn't stand up as a champion of women's rights, trying to talk about that. what he said was keir starmer, define what a woman is and that's quite straightforward. it's not that simple. as we know, the discussion to try and simplify the discussion in such a way is cheap and pathetic , and it's cheap and pathetic, and it's beneath the office of state that he holds. >> okay. do you think that, um, keir starmer is now dragged the grieving mother into this debate by this? and because what's going happen that going to happen next is that esther gye will be will be probably harangued to give a statement to the media. she's grieving for the loss of her, of her daughter, brianna . her daughter, brianna. >> that would be the fault of anybody harangues gye

anybody who harangues esther gye for, you know, i mean, you know, the person who's dragged somebody into this was the fact that minister doesn't that the prime minister doesn't have deft to be have enough tact or deft to be able to not trans people able to not mention trans people or make a joke about trans people when literally seconds before war, keir starmer had said, you know, we welcome to the chamber. it doesn't matter that she wasn't in the chamber at the time she was coming into the chamber, she was her way the chamber, she was on her way in, happens in pmqs. you in, as happens in pmqs. and, you know, able to not just not know, to be able to not just not make that joke, it was very simple and he's cleverer than that, and the people that, you know, and the people behind are cleverer than behind him are cleverer than that. so you to ask, was that. so you have to ask, was this intentional? is he playing? is he playing culture is he playing these culture wars, those wars, the intention of those political, political gain? because absolutely pathetic because it's absolutely pathetic and it's putting real people who suffer day live very suffer day to day and live very difficult and challenging lives, you in frame. and it's you know, in the frame. and it's really unfair. >> okay. former labour party spokesman james matthewson , spokesman james matthewson, thank you for joining spokesman james matthewson, thank you forjoining us on the thank you for joining us on the show have robust show. always have a robust debate with you. thank you very much . now still to come before much. now still to come before 6:00, london mayor sadiq khan is
