on police resources and it's affecting their ability to deal with wider policing priorities. that's a warning from mps. the home affairs select committee is calling on the government to give the police more support as marches continue over the israel—gaza war. the report found that policing the protests between the 7th of october and the 17th of december last year cost forces nationwide more than £25 million. they suggest making protest organisers give a longer nofice protest organisers give a longer notice period to allow the police to better prepare and labour vows to smash misogyny in schools if they win the next general election . the party will general election. the party will give teachers the tools to end the scourge on sexual harassment by young men, influenced by onune by young men, influenced by online misogyny . as part of the online misogyny. as part of the new plan , schoolboys will coach new plan, schoolboys will coach younger male pupils on how to call out misogyny in classroom terms. recent data from ofsted found the mention of the terms sexual harassment in schools grew by more than . 3,000%

this issue, andrew, has gained such momentum in the last 24 hours, and i think it's really important that we have frank conversations about what people mean when they talk about islamophobia or no go zones, because there is a genuine fear amongst some people that there are parts of their cities that they do not feel comfortable in, of course. >> and if you go to if you go to tower hamlets and london borough of newham, the majority population is no longer white working class as it was when i was growing up . it is muslim and was growing up. it is muslim and the local council, for instance , the local council, for instance, in tower hamlets, is run by a party called aspire. they are all bangladeshi muslim councillors. they've taken control of the council and that is feeds into this idea that people are being edged out. they don't feel at home and at ease in their own communities. and that's really sad. and i think my dad was brought up in the east of london, and he lived east end of london, and he lived there till he was in his 20s. he'd feel very uncomfortable now

in manner. he really in his old manner. he really would. and of course, there would. and of course, there would people who would say, would be people who would say, well, i'm sorry that that makes you feel uncomfortable, but this is is what happens to a >> this is what happens to a western country when you have immigration. you have huge numbers of immigration. and it's not a bad thing, i think. >> yeah, it's interesting, but we were talking yesterday about foreign prisoners and we talked to that prison governor who she and they were and she said they were integrated throughout the prison. in one prison. they weren't all in one wing the prison. if you go to wing of the prison. if you go to tower hamlets, there huge tower hamlets, there is a huge preponderance of and the same in london borough of newham, same in parts birmingham, in certain parts of birmingham, bradford and this is a court this is supposed this is supposed called multiple supposed to be called multiple culturalism. and i think it's where it's failed because it's created would created what some people would call and no go areas. call ghettos and no go areas. >> and i don't know what the alternate for that alternate give would be for that because obviously if you arrive in different country and we in a different country and we would we moved to would do the same if we moved to spain, we would move to be with other british people, probably necessarily same . yeah, necessarily in the same. yeah, i

think, think probably would. think, i think i probably would. and of course, a lot of people who arrive here family who arrive here have family members they will members already, so they will move areas. yeah. does move to those areas. yeah. does what mean in what does that mean in actuality? the benefits actuality? what are the benefits of for people and what are of that for people and what are the for people . and the negatives for people. and that's we that's the conversation we have to have without to be allowed to have without being having our language police or going , you're or people going, you're islamophobic racist . islamophobic or you're racist. >> but i mean, we saw a few weeks ago a candidate being introduced for a by—election and the who was introducing the person who was introducing him his speech in urdu. him did half his speech in urdu. he a british for he did in a british for a british election. i'm sorry . he did in a british for a british election. i'm sorry. i thought it was an outrage if you want, if there are people in that community who can't speak english, fine. talk to them privately afterwards, but don't do speech telling lies do a public speech telling lies in a in a in a language that is not the national language. i just think that's right. just don't think that's right. so contributes this idea so that contributes to this idea that areas that that we've created areas that are no longer welcoming . are no longer welcoming. >> so much of this is about language , actually. we'd love to language, actually. we'd love to see you at home. vaiews@gbnews.com email vaiews@gbnews.com is the email address let's now to our address. let's go now to our political editor, christopher

hopein political editor, christopher hope in west minster. uh, good morning christopher. um, for anybody that wasn't fortunate enough to watch lee anderson's response to this accusation of islamophobia to, um, patrick christys show last night with you and with patrick in the studio, just let people know this morning. what did lee say in his defence? yeah in his defence. >> and morning, morning to you both. he made clear he wasn't saying that sadiq khan was an islamist. he was concerned about what he saw as as a lack of policing on the streets of london in last week's protest, the proposed protest in parliament square. sadiq khan, of course, is the mayor of london in charge, therefore, of the met police. notionally, they report to him, but of course they operate on their own operationally , they are separate operationally, they are separate from what the politicians say. but he was defiant. he said he's not going to say sorry. he thinks he's done nothing wrong. he he's inundated with he says he's been inundated with support his whatsapp support in his whatsapp groups by mps , all tory mps. by from other mps, all tory mps. we've seen the front page of the

express today , mps rallying express today, mps rallying around lee anderson . it's around lee anderson. it's turning into quite a political headache. i think, for the pm, rishi sunak , because towards the rishi sunak, because towards the end i asked him directly will you reform uk? and he said you join reform uk? and he said a strange answer. he said he's been on a political journey by which he means he's a labour councillor back in 2019, became a tory mp in that year, the first time he voted was for first time he voted tory was for himself in ashfield when he became a mp. he did say became a tory mp. and he did say he wants the next he wants to fight the next election now . he's now an election now. he's now an independent mp , so he either independent mp, so he either fights as an independent mp or he joins reform . um, and i he joins reform. um, and i wonder, i just wonder and there's just a few suggestions in my social feed today. social media feed . i wonder whether he media feed. i wonder whether he might cross the floor and join reform at some point , maybe reform at some point, maybe tomorrow. don't know, he tomorrow. i don't know, he certainly is not ruling out joining reform uk in the same way he has in the past. and i think it's almost last night's interview was a message to the whips . get me back in the party whips. get me back in the party or i'll call you cause you an

even headache. even bigger headache. >> a headache >> he's also a headache for rishi sunak , because those rishi sunak, because those voters for whom reform speaks , voters for whom reform speaks, which is about tighter borders and less uncontrolled migration . and less uncontrolled migration. ian lee anderson was just about keeping those people on board. whereas once lee anderson has gone to reform, then tories will lose more of their votes to reform, which rishi sunak cannot afford. as we saw in the by—election in the last two weeks. >> well, the symbolism of someone like lee anderson joining the reform uk party, the guy who was described by some one journalist as the red wall made flesh. if he walked across and joined the reform uk party, that would for me signal a break with that coalition of support the party won in 2019. a lot of right wingers look at the top of the tory party. they don't see anyone from the authentic right as they would see it around rishi sunak. it's all run by moderate cameroon ites , they moderate cameroon ites, they would call them, and that's the concern i think the party concern i think that the party is, is narrow casting back into

the middle and meaning people on the middle and meaning people on the right don't feel as though the right don't feel as though the speaks for them and the party speaks for them and almost totemic moment might be if miss robinson joins the reform uk party. he's not denying it. he's not saying it's going to happen, but that's one to watch. >> right. that's chris hope, >> all right. that's chris hope, our political well let's our political editor. well let's go because the go to birmingham because the paul scully said that parts of birmingham were no go areas. we're going to the we're going to talk to the community. bishop community. campaigner bishop doctor desmond jaddoo , good doctor desmond jaddoo, good morning to you. um is paul scully right? parts of birmingham? i think he was referring particularly to birmingham. sparkhill are are no go areas for presumably he means white people . white people. >> i like to invite him to come and have a walk with me up stratford road, and then he can point out to me where the no go areas are. i think it's a flippant statement. i think it's divisive. i think it's damaging to community relations. we're all god's children and we're all equal as far as it's concerned. stigmatise in communities is not the make political

the way to make political points. and that's what's happened and stigmatise happened here. and stigmatise a complete community is not the way forward. we're not talking about muslims here. we're talking about people from the south asian community. and i heard your comments about ghettos . look, when the windrush ghettos. look, when the windrush generation here in the generation came here in the 1940s and 50s, they had signs up no blacks, no irish, no dogs. so we only could go . my parents, we only could go. my parents, the elders, the asian community could only go to communities where they were felt welcomed . where they were felt welcomed. in fact, to be truthful, the no go areas existed then because there were signs up saying clearly that you're not welcome here. and that was right here in birmingham well. and i think birmingham as well. and i think people have now got to be adults. struggling adults. if you're struggling politically, then what you need to doing finding to be doing is finding a solution to help deal with people that live in these areas . people that live in these areas. and the thing is, you know, you've got so much socioeconomic , um, factors of deprivation that's impacting upon these areas . people that's impacting upon these areas. people are that's impacting upon these areas . people are struggling that's impacting upon these areas. people are struggling and all you're doing now is just stigmatising them more, which is totally wrong .

totally wrong. >> so just tell us what this area of birmingham is like, particularly that paul scully singled out and saying it basically said it's kind of it's a monoculture. he didn't use that he said was no that word. he said it was a no go zone. what is it really like ? go zone. what is it really like? >> it's a great vibrant area . >> it's a great vibrant area. yes. it has a large south asian population , but it's very population, but it's very multicultural and it reflects birmingham. um, you've got various businesses, particularly along the main stratford road that leads you actually into solihull, that ultimately you end up in stratford upon avon. i mean, it's a heavyweight traffic and indeed. but the important thing is when you go along there, you will see mosques, but you'll also see churches , and you'll also see churches, and that's the important thing. and the churches are welcomed in that area. and it is still a diverse area. you know, because we do have white people living there. we have african, canbbean there. we have african, caribbean people living there as well. no one's turned away, well. and no one's turned away, no one's refused be served in no one's refused to be served in their think their shops, etc. and i think their shops, etc. and i think the important thing is, is that

perception . i saw the comments perception. i saw the comments that it was a clumsy statement. well, you know, man up, get on with it, apologise. and then get on with what you're doing. that's what he needs to be doing. and it's straight. it's simple. apologise for what you've said. stigmatising people of colour in this country has become a fashion that has to stop . stop. >> paul scott, what paul scully is isn't that some is saying isn't he, is that some white people feel marginalised in part parts of in areas like part parts of birmingham , where there is where birmingham, where there is where they're in a minority , see? they're in a minority, see? >> where's the evidence of that? >> where's the evidence of that? >> well, that's what he's saying. i'm not. i'm not here to we're not interested in what he's saying. >> has he evidence this has he come to birmingham. so i'll, i'll, i'll release your formal invitation with it to him. now come to birmingham and i'll go for a walk with him along stratford road and coventry road, for that matter , as well. road, for that matter, as well. and he can show me where people are looking at him, pointing, pointing at find that pointing at him. i find that offensive for one reason. i've been to areas and i'm a bishop

which has a high white population and i'm stared at. fingers are pointed at me. but do you know what i don't feel intimidated. i get on with it because i'm not the one who's ignorant and that's the thing. so as far as i'm concerned, you know, put up or shut up, come to birmingham and let's have a walkabout. desmond you do make it and i know this area a little bit. >> it's got amazing restaurants. it's the it's the equivalent of manchester's, um, curry mile, isn't it? what's it called? the balti. balti triangle. the balti triangle. thank you. in this area, we definitely have some benefits of multiculturalism in that area. but you do make it sound quite idyllic. and i would imagine that young , particularly imagine that young, particularly young people being a bit tribal human beings are tribal . we've human beings are tribal. we've heard this from head teachers who have very multicultural schools that the bangladeshi kids won't mix with. the pakistani kids, indian pakistani kids, with the indian kids, the african libyan kids, with the african libyan kids, with the african libyan kids that you do get gangs. and i don't mean gangs in a criminal sense, but just in a human sense of wanting to be with people who

are them. there must be are like them. there must be elements of that in some of these areas . these areas. >> i that has existed for >> i think that has existed for quite some time. that's done to social conditioning. we talked about no blacks, no irish, no dogs, so the ghettos, as one wants to call them, which i disagree with that. tum by the way, right, have actually been created by british society and people gather in groups . i people will gather in groups. i wouldn't them gangs or wouldn't call them gangs or groups friends they feel groups of friends that they feel most comfortable with, they most comfortable with, that they have common with. for have a lot in common with. for me, have a church in warsaw. me, i have a church in warsaw. i work right across the city of birmingham as well, and there are many muslims who call me now their bishop, and are many muslims who call me now their bishop , and they're their bishop, and they're muslim. i'm not an imam, i'm a bishop, but simply because at the end of the day, i let my values speak and i value everyone . and that's the everyone. and that's the difference. what's happened here is some people today feel devalued and dejected, and the importance of these comments is that it has just once again, did divided community and creating community tension, which is

totally unnecessary. and yet again, i will repeat my invitation to come to birmingham. i'm quite happy to walk up. if you feel safe enough. i'm quite happy to walk up stratford road with you and you know no one will interfere with you. they'll probably get a couple of fingers pointing because him couple of fingers pointing becwhat him couple of fingers pointing becwhat he him couple of fingers pointing becwhat he said. him for what he said. >> right, all right. thank >> all right, all right. thank you much, bishop. doctor you so much, bishop. doctor desmond m.b.e. there. desmond jaddoo, m.b.e. there. >> this is what paul scullion said media. as someone >> this is what paul scullion said has media. as someone >> this is what paul scullion said has stood media. as someone >> this is what paul scullion said has stood updia. as someone >> this is what paul scullion said has stood up and as someone >> this is what paul scullion said has stood up and indeedeone who has stood up and indeed championed muslims championed british muslims for a decade to up seen as decade to end up seen as espousing division and likened to hopkins out to katie hopkins elbow out of the conversation and leave the two sides to argue. i've always said language matters. does said language matters. so does perception of moderates are pushed side or another. pushed to one side or another. nothing resolved. out. nothing will resolved. i'm out. that's he's returned my that's why he's not returned my phone got him to come on. phone calls. got him to come on. well, that's a bit of a cop out, paul scully. >> can't and don't >> i can't lie. and i don't particularly like your comparison hopkins. if particularly like your comtotally| hopkins. if particularly like your comtotally honest. hopkins. if particularly like your comtotally honest. um,)kins. if particularly like your comtotally honest. um, well, if i'm totally honest. um, well, a lot people don't, know, lot of people don't, you know, she is. >> well, that's also just very outdated stereotype and a little >> well, that's also just very outunfair,;tereotype and a little >> well, that's also just very outunfair, in'eotype and a little >> well, that's also just very outunfair, in my/pe and a little >> well, that's also just very outunfair, in my opinion.a little bit unfair, in my opinion. >> but anyway, paul scully, to drop bomb and then say

drop this bomb and then say you've all got a fight about it amongst yourselves, out. amongst yourselves, i'm out. come on, to us. explain come on, talk to us. explain yourself. if you've got a point to make, make it clear what you meant. don't just leave it for everybody else to discuss. >> now, up next, we can talk about those protests which take place every saturday in london, have cost the police in have already cost the police in london alone £25 million, which means protecting means they're not protecting lots of streets and homes from burglars and all the rest. you're on britain's newsroom on .

gp news. we're joined in the studios piers pottinger, who's advised countless tory prime ministers. thatcher major. but before we talk to you, i want to read this some text out from sylvia, who says what on earth is that woman? that's this woman with andrew about. i'm andrew neil talking about. i'm andrew neil talking about. i'm andrew pierce i'm great fan andrew pierce. i'm a great fan of andrew neil, but actually i don't think i look alike,

although piers pottinger rather cruelly said to me, i do . cruelly said to me, i do. >> so, sylvia, thank you for getting in touch. i'm bev, this is pierce. but you do is andrew pierce. um but you do make a point. says. i was make a point. she says. i was born east london. i wouldn't born in east london. i wouldn't go back to visit there you born in east london. i wouldn't go bime.:o visit there you born in east london. i wouldn't go bime. tell;it there you born in east london. i wouldn't go bime. tell her1ere you born in east london. i wouldn't go bime. tell her that's you born in east london. i wouldn't go bime. tell her that's me to paid me. tell her that's me to walk around. um, upton park, get out of whitechapel. there. cesspits the place is running alive cockroaches. you alive with cockroaches. you can't walk down the street because the rotten vegetables because of the rotten vegetables on pavements. how this on the pavements. how does this enhance come on, enhance our country? come on, put where your mouth put your money. where your mouth is. tv. taking is. let's see you on tv. taking a stroll. sylvia. totally get a stroll. sylvia. i totally get that. not. that. but that's not. >> and patrick christys going to be in tower hamlets on be in tower hamlets tonight on his great. good. >> great. good. >> great. good. >> he can have a wander round >> so he can have a wander round there. listen, london streets there. oh listen, london streets are disgusting moment. are disgusting at the moment. >> bins aren't emptied, >> their bins aren't emptied, everything looks dirty. everything's rundown, everything's everything's rundown, everythi i'm. you on everything's rundown, everythii'm. you on that. graffiti. i'm with you on that. but that specifically about but is that specifically about immigration, ian? does that make it a no go zone? not necessarily i >> -- >> the prime minister's got a real problem here. um, if you were advising him because he wants to, he can't afford lantern to cross to the floor reform, it would be catastrophic

. we know the reaction to his suspension in those red wall seats . uh, it's too late to seats. uh, it's too late to unsuspend him. or can they bring him back into the party because he says he's not going to apologise? i mean, how does he get out of this one? >> i watched lee anderson with christopher hope last night on gb news was being very gb news and he was being very cryptic. yes. and he's clearly enjoying this and revelling in his popular support amongst many sectors. yeah, i think what he said was unfortunate in the words he used, but and also unfortunately it distracts from the real criticism of the terrible mayor of london. yes, quite. and that, uh, you're sylvia has has just been talking about the filth in london. that's just one of the many problems and don't forget, sadiq is in charge of the police, who are doing an appalling job. yeah, at the moment, not protecting people in the way you'd expect them to. and for example , a number of politicians

example, a number of politicians have told me that walking from the houses of parliament to the tube after a session at night is terrifying , particularly for as terrifying, particularly for as a friend of mine who's a lady in the upper house. yeah, and she is. she's been jostled, abused , is. she's been jostled, abused, and this is spat out. >> palestinians and no, not a policeman in sight from these protesters, so—called protesters who are just stirring up trouble i >> -- >> and, i mean, we really and sadiq khan is the mayor in charge of the police force, and he ought to be sorting this out as a priority . but as for rishi, as a priority. but as for rishi, your question. sorry. sure. no avoiding it because i think he's got he's in a very difficult position , first of all. i mean, position, first of all. i mean, you can't accuse him of being racist. really first of all, he's a hindu . the first ever he's a hindu. the first ever hindu prime minister of this country. um, which i think goes to show that britain isn't racist, because if it was , we racist, because if it was, we wouldn't have a hindu prime minister i don't think. and i do

think people sometimes confuse racism with, um, terrorist protesting . um, and these are protesting. um, and these are very different issues. but rishi, protecting lee anderson is a difficult one. >> don't go anywhere. stay with us. us. >> us. >> uh, we'll be back in a minute. >> got to go to a break. a brighter outlook with boxt solar , the sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> good morning. i'm alex burkill, here with your latest gb news. weather update. there are some patches of fog and freezing fog around first thing this morning. also a spell this morning. and also a spell of rain currently across parts of rain currently across parts of scotland, bringing a wet start here and also for northern ireland. and that rain is gradually to into gradually going to push into parts england wales as we gradually going to push into pa|throughgland wales as we gradually going to push into pa|through lheid wales as we gradually going to push into pa|through the day wales as we gradually going to push into pa|through the day asa/ales as we gradually going to push into pa|through the day as well. as we go through the day as well. however in the southeast, ahead of the rain, it's actually going to stay dry through the daylight hours least, and once any hours at least, and once any mist away, mist and fog clears away, it should mostly fine picture should be a mostly fine picture behind the rain towards the

northwest, particularly across scotland. some scotland. there will be some sunny spells, but also a scattering showers, and some scattering of showers, and some of could turn wintry over of these could turn wintry over higher with temperatures higher ground, with temperatures generally for the generally around average for the time the band of rain time of year. the band of rain is gradually going to make its way as we go through way southeast as we go through the day, but it the end of the day, but it breaks up, so just bringing a bit more cloud and perhaps a few spots to the southeast spots of rain to the southeast to the day here elsewhere. to end the day here elsewhere. and we're going to see and otherwise we're going to see largely clear developing. largely clear skies developing. so see so again, we're likely to see some fog freezing fog patches some fog or freezing fog patches developing we through developing as we go through wednesday morning, as temperatures dip temperatures are likely to dip close perhaps even a bit close to or perhaps even a bit below freezing in prone rural spots. so many places starting tomorrow on of a dry but tomorrow on a bit of a dry but rather chilly note. however, we are to see a band of rain are going to see a band of rain again. more rain sweeping its way from the west, and that way in from the west, and that is to be bit heavy at is likely to be a bit heavy at times across western parts, with some some strong winds. in association with this. meanwhile, east southeast meanwhile, in the east southeast again, to stay dry again, it's likely to stay dry at during daylight hours. at least during daylight hours. temperatures to be temperatures are going to be a bit higher than today. many places double places getting into double figures . figures. >> that warm feeling inside from

gb news. away. >> today i'm tuesday the 27th of february. >> this is britain's newsroom on gb news with me bev turner and andrew pierce. >> so are there no go zones? the tory mp paul scully certainly says so, but he's been accused of racism for his sins, for saying parts of birmingham and london no go zones. when london are no no go zones. when he alleged he was questioned about alleged islamophobia in his party and those protests on the streets of britain since hamas launched its attack on israel on october 7, have cost the police force £25 million pounds. >> is it worth it? >> is it worth it? >> not our crimes. that's the hashtag going viral on twitter. after many outlets, broadcasters, particularly the bbc, failed to make clear that

the convicted murderer and cat killer is a transgender woman and not, as they said, a woman and not, as they said, a woman and the scourge of misogyny. >> now, pupils could get lessons on calling out what the labour party are calling misogyny. i don't think they've got quite the right word there, though. this is about the rise of influencers such as andrew tate. it is proposed, as we say, by the labour party, but they're also taking on the role of parents and the home secretary, james cleverly, setting out his ambition for a global response to tackle mass migration. >> it will do that during a trip to the united states today. >> i'll tell you why. misogyny is not the right word, because that means hating women . andrew that means hating women. andrew tate, the what he propounds on his social media is a very traditional life background whereby the man goes to work and

the woman stays at home. and yes , his language definitely makes it sound like the woman should be chained the kitchen sink be chained to the kitchen sink sometimes, it's not really sometimes, but it's not really misogyny . i sometimes, but it's not really misogyny. i think, again, misogyny. and i think, again, it's these issues it's another of these issues where particularly where politicians, particularly are just picking the wrong sort of to explain something of words to explain something a bit more subtle. of words to explain something a bit certainlytle. so, um, pick >> certainly are. so, um, pick your words gb views at gb news. >> com and we'll find some words between us at some point as well. but first though, here's the very latest news with sofia . the very latest news with sofia. bev and andrew. >> thank you. i'm sofia wenzler from the gb newsroom at 1002. your top story this hour, minister , are refusing to call minister, are refusing to call a suspended tory mps comments. islamophobic senior conservatives are under growing pressure after the former deputy chair of the party, lee anderson , criticised the london mayor he's refusing to apologise and maintain sadiq khan has lost control of london to a tiny minority of extremists. the london mayor has accused him of pounng london mayor has accused him of pouring petrol on the flames of

islamophobia . mr anderson says islamophobia. mr anderson says he's simply trying to highlight what he believes is mr khan's failure to tackle pro palestine protests . protests are putting protests. protests are putting unsustainable pressure on police resources, with mps warning it's affecting their ability to deal with wider policing priorities . with wider policing priorities. the home affairs select committee is calling on the government to give the police more support as marches continue over the israel—gaza war. the cross—party committee report found that policing the protests between the 7th of october and the 17th of december last year cost forces nationwide more than £25 million. they suggest making protest organisers give a longer nofice protest organisers give a longer notice period to allow the police to better prepare former scotland yard detective peter bleksley told gb news. protests are having a massive impact on policing . policing. >> thousands of officers are having to be brought into london to deal with these protests and policing doesn't just have another box of police officers, it can open. officers are being

taken from other commitments elsewhere and as the met regularly says , officers are regularly says, officers are being taken away from the communities that they police . so communities that they police. so who's going to fill that gap ? who's going to fill that gap? well, quite frankly, nobody because there aren't enough officers to do that . officers to do that. >> in other news, it's understood a proposal to swap israeli hostages held in gaza for palestinian prisoners has been sent to hamas. it follows several days of multinational talks in paris discussing the possibility of a temporary ceasefire in gaza, according to reports . the proposal states reports. the proposal states that all israeli women , children that all israeli women, children under 19, elderly and sick hostages should be released in exchange for a number of palestinian prisoners. it also includes 500 aid trucks being allowed into gaza daily, and the provision of thousands of tents and caravans . the development and caravans. the development comes after us president joe biden said he hoped to a ceasefire between israel and hamas could be secured by the end of the weekend . the home

end of the weekend. the home secretary is set to call on the international community to take collective action on migration . collective action on migration. varne james cleverly says he hopes to help displaced people , hopes to help displaced people, but still ensure the goodwill of the uk is not eroded . speaking the uk is not eroded. speaking dunng the uk is not eroded. speaking during a two day visit to america, james cleverly will urge countries to work together to address migration's root causes and smash the people smuggling gangs. he'll also say that doing the right thing by migrants doesn't necessarily mean relocating them to our country . three men have been country. three men have been charged with the preparation of an act of terrorism after an investigation into suspected extreme right wing activity by logan stewart and marco putzu , logan stewart and marco putzu, who were both 24, and 33 year old christopher ringrose, will appearin old christopher ringrose, will appear in court later. counter terrorism policing north east said it was part of a pre—planned intelligence led operation. a fourth man was also arrested last week but was released without charge and labour vows to tackle misogyny in schools if they win the next

general election . the party will general election. the party will give teachers the tools to end the scourge of sexual harassment by young men, influenced by onune by young men, influenced by online misogyny . under new online misogyny. under new plans, boys will mentor young male pupils on how to call out misogyny in classrooms . recent misogyny in classrooms. recent data from ofsted found that the mention of the terms sexual harassment in schools grew by more than 3,000% between 2019 and 2022. shadow education education secretary bridget phillipson said it's a growing issue . issue. >> it is a big problem and the reports that i hear from students and staff alike is that this can involve bullying online of a of a sexual nature, misogynistic comments , but also, misogynistic comments, but also, sadly within the classroom as well. so sometimes towards staff or students it's unacceptable behaviours , physical behaviours, physical intimidation and misogynistic language and attitudes . and i language and attitudes. and i believe we've got a responsibility to. >> for the latest story , sign up >> for the latest story, sign up to gb news alerts by scanning the qr code on your screen or go

think about tower hamlets. yes. london borough of newham. >> i've seen whenever i've been to those areas. yeah and i think of places like west london, southall where i grew up , the southall where i grew up, the high population of indian or asian background, people , people asian background, people, people embrace that different cultures, creeds embrace the now we're in a generation where the food, the music, the culture is embraced as part of the vibrancy of london, the diversity of london. we are seen as probably the most successful global city when it comes to cultures living jointly together and celebrating each other, enjoying now, whether it's holidays, whether it's the food, whether it's the traditions, the amount of celebrations we have to represent and recognise different communities. i think that's a huge positive. i have not seen . we saw it, andrew, and not seen. we saw it, andrew, and you all remember, you know, the 80s. yeah. there were areas of london south london, brixton comes to mind . southall, there comes to mind. southall, there were riots in the 70s. we do not live in that time with that kind

of tension , and i don't of tension, and i don't recognise that there are problems where people go . problems where people go. >> there clearly is tension though, because even just seeing the public response to what lee anderson has said and it feels like there is a huge division between what we might call , between what we might call, let's say, the political elite who who live in beautiful houses in areas and they can afford to pick where they want to live. and if they don't want to live in a multicultural area, they don't have to. and those who might have lived in an area for a long time, who feel that they don't recognise high don't recognise their high street types of street because of the types of shops and perhaps even, you know, got in london. know, we've got roads in london. i'm thinking particularly of like the edgware where you like the edgware road where you drive actually , drive down and, and actually, funnily you're in a fog. funnily enough, you're in a fog. often but often your fog of those, but also perhaps the shisha bars, but also the language on the shopsis but also the language on the shops is often in arabic that unsettles people. calvin we need to somehow work out how to have the conversation about incorporating people from

different cultures without alienating those born and bred british. >> yes, and i recognise that if some people would feel uncomfortable with that and actually, spread the actually, let's spread the conversation london conversation out from london because viewers not because your viewers are not london we're talking london centric. we're talking about britain here, and i recognise that in some of our cities, as there is a very high density of cultures that have emerged in some of our midlands and northern cities in the blink of an eye, within the last 5 to 10 years, i think it's taken a bit longer than that. i think it has taken a bit longer there. there may have been an acceleration in visibility, but that has been part of, i would say, success of modern say, the success of modern britain, because then we look at our establishment, our political establishment, and this when this is why i have an issue when people say, what is the modern conservative party? modern conservative party? the modern conservative party is the party of sunak cleverly sajid javid priti patel, you know, priti patel . and this is the success patel. and this is the success of a 20 year period where the party changed. i was part of involved in that change, not as driving it, but definitely of a consequence of it, because i was

the sort of thing that michael howard, david cameron, francis maude saw the need for the political party, the conservative party, to represent all of britain and it did do. and that's why has been and still is the most successful party in this country. >> what about policing? because we about policing. we were talking about policing. there a real crisis over there is a real crisis over policing country. people policing in this country. people don't are doing policing in this country. people don'tjob. are doing policing in this country. people don'tjob. we are doing policing in this country. people don'tjob. we saw are doing policing in this country. people don'tjob. we saw the are doing their job. we saw the disgraceful anti—semitic trope projected last projected onto big ben last week. the police abided nothing about it. and then we see on the front mail today, the front of the mail today, the gaza protests mean police gaza protests mean the police cannot their £25 cannot do their job. £25 million. how do the government, how they resolve this dilemma how do they resolve this dilemma ? to police these. ? they've got to police these. we've to allow we've got to allow these marches, haven't because marches, haven't we? because that's democracy. >> mean, trouble we've >> i mean, the trouble is we've got politicised police force got a politicised police force in the country now with in parts of the country now with sadiq , a labour mayor in sadiq khan, a labour mayor in charge of the london metropolitan police, for example, which is crazy. london's always had demonstrations and protests . demonstrations and protests. it's going back a long, long time. and so there's nothing and people have a right to protest

within reason. the problem is that's been really , i think, that's been really, i think, taken far too far by the pro—palestinian protests happening every weekend . ed and happening every weekend. ed and it is costing them a lot of money. but generally the police seem to have given up on crime, what we would call crime or i would things like burglary , would things like burglary, theft, breaking into your sort , theft, breaking into your sort, all of this kind of stuff. they admit they're not even bothering to chase them up. now, something is fundamentally wrong here. and once you start, this is the thin end of the wedge and the thin blue line is getting thinner by the minute, because then i can't remember when i live in tooting, a very diverse and wonderful place , fantastic place to live . place, fantastic place to live. um, but i mean , i can't remember um, but i mean, i can't remember when i last saw a policeman on on the street just passing by. and as we know, that wonderful town up in the north that had put a policeman back on the

beat, one bobby back on the beat and he halved crime. yes in a yeah and he halved crime. yes in a year. but just by being there and visible. yeah but we don't have the police now. again, they always talk about money. everyone always blames . they everyone always blames. they want more money. they want more money. sometimes you need to actually think about the problem and how you're going to manage the problem, rather than just throw money at it. that goes from the for the police, that goes for the um, you know, goes for the nhs. um, you know, it takes more than just throwing money at a problem to resolve it. >> well, actually, they had the money, the metropolitan police had the money from the government to recruit officers. i was to talking the minister for policing, philp, last for policing, chris philp, last week he said the week on this, and he said the metropolitan police sadiq khan was did was given the money. they did not the officers. they not recruit the officers. they failed recruitment and failed in the recruitment and the to other the money has gone to other forces they're not forces because they're not utilising and this and utilising money. and this and the other key thing here to remember of the 43 police remember out of the 43 police forces across the country , the forces across the country, the metropolitan police is the worst performing i'm hearing performing. i'm hearing this from police minister, chris

from the police minister, chris philp. so sadiq khan, who is directly responsible for safety and security of londoners, is failing at that role. and this is when we talk about the is why when we talk about the outcomes, the problems in our streets, if we don't have a police force, performing, police force, that's performing, is of is giving clear direction of what is not given the what to do, is not given the resources by the mayor. >> i think got a problem >> i think we've got a problem with colvin one with your mike colvin just one second. that that amount that second. so that that amount that the services london the police services in london got last 12 months, got for the last 12 months, piers, is 4.5 pretty much billion . not a lot of billion pound. not a lot of money. huge amount of money. it's a huge amount of money. it's a huge amount of money you put in that money when you put it in that context, actually £25 million to allow still maintain allow us to still maintain peaceful protest. sounds like quite a small amount of money to me. >> of course it is. >> and i mean, it's just a question of managing the funds. and as you've just said, it's clearly not being done properly. and, you know, the problem is, as i said, if you make sadiq khanin as i said, if you make sadiq khan in charge of the metropolitan police, you're going to have a disaster. >> so when you take the politics out of it, you should take, of course. should the police should

be not political. >> well, what do you mean by he's politicised? >> it? in what way? he's politicised? >> well, what way? he's politicised? >> well, he, at way? he's politicised? >> well, he, sadiq? he's politicised? >> well, he, sadiq khan has focussed police on hate focussed the police on hate crimes, on things that that i mean he spent a fortune advertising on the underground. >> don't stare , don't look don't >> don't stare, don't look don't i mean, what on earth is he doing? so instead of actually having people solve theft, solve burglary , make them feel safer burglary, make them feel safer in their houses. >> so he's the thought police crime rate has gone shooting up under sadiq khan, and he's done nothing about it. yeah. >> have we got a problem with covid? um. um, mike, we've got a problem with your mike colvin. >> unfortunately, we can hear you, but i don't think the viewers can. >> the viewers can hearjust >> the viewers can hear just quickly. post office quickly. the post office chairman, chairman is chairman, former chairman is before committee mps. before the committee of mps. today, put up or today, he's got to put up or shut about this allegation shut up about this allegation on. yes. ministers are deliberately. stonewalled. >> thin ice here >> he's on very thin ice here because, um, not only did the senior civil servant who he claimed had told him these things outright deny it, which

is very rare to do that publicly . but also his chief executive , . but also his chief executive, nick reed, has has basically written to the select committee and disowned him. and also said there was no indication of him being asked to drag their feet on compensation or any indication of this. staunton's indication of this. staunton's in got a real problem and there's going to be quite, i think, a punch up in the select committee today between reed and staunton, who clearly now should be decided the same. just try and protect what's left of their own reputations. >> we shouldn't and what we shouldn't forget, piers and covid is this the postmaster supposedly still got supposedly still haven't got their compensation, of course, and the number one and that's the number one priority and should be. >> i don't >> and quite frankly, i don't think anyone has much sympathy for anyone at the very top end of the post office or the ministers who were responsible, like ed davey. don't let us forget that the lib dem piers pottinger lord colville. >> and we're so sorry. microphone lost your mic. i have so many questions i wanted to

ask you this morning. right. uh, still to come this morning. apparently, labour think that andrew misogynist, andrew tate is misogynist, right. going to right. and that he's going to mean that your children grow up misogynists. apparently misogynists. and apparently labour you labour are going to save you from this fate. what a load of nonsense. don't go anywhere. this is britain's newsroom on

nottingham forest are going to get your listening to gb news radio . radio. >> very good morning britain's newsroom with andrew pierce and bev turner. we've got nigel nelson in the studio with us and tanya buxton. um, now are we the first morning both morning . first morning both morning. >> sorry, i was racing ahead. >> sorry, i was racing ahead. >> there's always a very packed show. we have a lot to fit in. right, andrew tate, he is. if you don't know who he is, he is an influencer. are familiar an influencer. are you familiar with am okay. with andrew tate? i am okay. there'll a lot of who there'll be a lot of people who may be familiar. may not be familiar. >> you've been banned from various parts of social media, >> you've been banned from varhas parts of social media, >> you've been banned from varhas to. rts of social media, he has to. >> also he was also >> he's also he was also arrested, wasn't he, for or not charged? not charged. let's keep

that. charged? not charged. let's keep that . yeah. that. yeah. >> um, he's got old fashioned views on women. they should be kept at home. he's very kept at home. he's got very traditional views and they certainly tread into the area that you might think it would take your breath away. >> as a feminist, when you hear some of the things got some of the things he's got to say. this is what shadow say. but this is what shadow education secretary bridget phillipson him and phillipson said about him and boys. school , boys. therefore, at school, behaving like they don't particularly girls, it is a particularly like girls, it is a big problem and the reports that ihear big problem and the reports that i hear from students and staff alike is that this can involve bullying online of a of a sexual nature , misogynistic comments, nature, misogynistic comments, but also sadly within the classroom as well . classroom as well. >> so sometimes towards staff or students unacceptable behaviours , physical intimidation and misogynistic language and attitudes . and i believe we've attitudes. and i believe we've got a responsibility to tackle it . it. >> there's sort of some truth in what she's saying, nigel nelson, but they've got this all. they've got this completely wrong. go on. >> why they got it wrong? >> why they got it wrong? >> why they got it wrong? >> why have they got it wrong? because this is not a simple as saying boys are being

misogynistic. start, misogynistic. for a start, define misogynistic. can't define misogynistic. you can't use without use a word like that without explaining this isn't boys explaining it. this isn't boys that hate girls. andrew tate doesn't women. very much doesn't hate women. he very much would loves women, would appear, loves women, but he them stay at he does expect them to stay at home he goes out and makes money. >> yeah, i mean, there's a problem with andrew is it problem with andrew tate. is it goes further than that. i mean, he's an unapologetic sexist. he's homophobe. he he recently he's a homophobe. he he recently he was talking about the nazi party, weren't quite that bad. he's he's a real right winger. >> he's a proper bit small conservative. >> well small c conservative. but his attitude to women would would suit saudi arabia rather than rather than a western nation. >> and there are some women who adore him. let me tell you , he adore him. let me tell you, he has a i mean, i'm not going to i'll an audience. i'll be an audience. >> doesn't doesn't expect >> he doesn't he doesn't expect women no , no, no, no. women to be no, no, no, no. >> when say saudi arabia, >> when i say saudi arabia, i mean, he doesn't like them driving. for instance, they ought at home. they ought to stay at home. they belong the they belong to the belong to the they belong to the man. so the whole point there is that following that he's got a huge following on media. you're probably on social media. you're probably right. women actually

right. some women actually actually do him, though. actually do like him, though. the how the question obviously is how you kids who are you deal with with kids who are seeing this and what you do about it and what bridget phillipson is saying is that they they should have some kind of mentors in school . so rather of mentors in school. so rather than take their phones away because impossible . because this is impossible. >> sorry, older boys to mentor younger boys. yes. how does that work? >> well, i mean, the whole the idea would be it's not totally clear how this policy will work , clear how this policy will work, funnily enough, which is not unusual for the labour party. i appreciate , um, but the idea is appreciate, um, but the idea is to have some someone there who's actually helping negotiate , actually helping them negotiate, hate the internet , right. so hate the internet, right. so when this kind of stuff comes up , you can actually talk to the kids about it, about the attitudes . attitudes. >> they say that it's not the government's place to bring up our sons. our soi'is. >> our sons. >> i have two sons and two daughters, and it's not the government's place to teach them how to women or not to how to respect women or not to respect women. this whole respect women. and as this whole thing he . yes, i mean, i'm thing about he. yes, i mean, i'm not you know, i've looked at some of this when he originally

came andrew tate, came out. andrew tate, i thought, know, thought, oh gosh, you know, finally kind of male finally we've got a kind of male role for our you role model for our boys. you know, one my sons is a is know, one of my sons is a is a boxer. he's very, very masculine. so polite, has never said no or raised his voice to me i can imagine, i don't me ever. i can imagine, i don't know, many 18 year are like know, many 18 year olds are like that mothers so that with their mothers so polite. but you know, he's a bit of an alpha y. i mean, some of the things that andrew has done have but have gone down that way, but i don't think he should be held up as responsible for what's going on, on is the fact on, what's going on is the fact that we have that we don't we have a breakdown of british traditions and family, and no one's and british family, and no one's got look. so they're got anywhere to look. so they're looking to these extreme guys. that's happening that's what's happening now. you know, son said to me know, boys, my son said to me that of time when that a lot of the time when they're in religious studies, that a lot of the time when they'iit'sl religious studies, that a lot of the time when they'iit's calledyus studies, that a lot of the time when they'iit's called hsi;tudies, that a lot of the time when they'iit's called hsi;turwhatever what it's called hsi or whatever it's now, he puts it's called now, he he puts personal health and social education, it. education, all of it. >> it really he literally >> is it really he literally says he puts his earphones in because it's so woo and so because it's so woo woo and so wah wah and so not realistic in life. not going to it's >> and he's not going to it's just gone far. and so just it's gone too far. and so they have switched off. they are what they're learning at school has them off. you know

of these young men who look at andrew tate and go, you know what i want? i want £100,000 watch and because because it's going me feel about myself. >> it's not all about andrew tate. it's not all about andrew tate. it's not all about andrew tate. bear in mind, i mean, the things that you're talking. >> him has ruined >> you mentioned him has ruined her yeah. she had her argument. yeah. if she had just well, he's just stuck to well, he's probably of the famous probably one of the most famous influencers probably one of the most famous inflso 1cers probably one of the most famous inflso that's that's why he's >> so that's that's why he's used an we've got to used as an example. we've got to talk about another influencer, prince harry. >> donald trump planning >> what is donald trump planning ? have done very ? telegraph have done a very interesting piece about this today think it's fascinating. >> yeah, they have i'm broadly what he's doing is he's what is what he's doing is he's saying um, harry's his saying that, um, harry's on his own when comes to down his own when it comes to down his visa application. there's a big row going on in america the row going on in america at the moment. happening, moment. a court case happening, uh, they're trying uh, in which they're trying to make visa application, um, make his visa application, um, pubuc make his visa application, um, public work and arguing. it's in pubuc public work and arguing. it's in public interest to do so. and the reason for that is that harry, in his book, 'spare, confessed to taking marijuana magic mushrooms and cocaine . magic mushrooms and cocaine. that, of course, would be a problem for his visa going into

america. well, it would be a block . well, not a total block. block. well, not a total block. you can actually, if you're asked on your visa application form, have you taken drugs and you say, yes, there is a possibility of getting a waiver. um, and the argument at the moment, a rather strange argument going on in the, in the us courts is that they're saying that, um, his defence is saying which is supported by president biden , that just because he's biden, that just because he's talked about this in a book, it's not proof he took drugs. >> so he lied in his book. >> so he lied in his book. >> well, that's he lied somewhere. so he lied about it's somewhere. so he lied about it's so it's a bit it's a bit of a weird defence. i don't think that i would actually employ the lawyers doing that. lawyers who are doing that. >> not going to. it's >> trump is not going to. it's going to cut no ice with trump. >> cut no ice. >> it's going to cut no ice. because of course, meghan markle went on to was oprah's show went on to was it oprah's show and that, you know, if and said that, you know, if trump gets in as trump gets voted in as president, i'm going to consider living and pack her living in canada and pack her bags. let's be trump bags. well, let's he'll be trump will be packing her bags and he doesn't care. you know, ultimately liar. we ultimately harry's a liar. we know liar. he's actually know he's a liar. he's actually stating now he's a liar. he's admitting so, know,

admitting to it. so, you know, you're once. you're you're a liar once. you're a liar forever. yeah. >> and therefore he's not saying is a liar. >> no, that's not that's not quite fair. >> think. >> i think. yeah. >> i think. yeah. >> you say well, he's one or >> if you say well, he's one or the other, you took cocaine. >> that's right. >> that's right. >> but then you're saying you didn't. no no. >> hang on. no no, no, he's not saying what he's saying is saying that. what he's saying is that want his his that he doesn't want his his visa made public. it visa application made public. it may say on that visa application he got waiver he got the waiver having admitted taking drugs, right. >> eat my hat if >> no, i, i would eat my hat if that was the case. >> i think i will buy you a hat for that purpose. >> you buy that. >> you buy me that. >> you buy me that. >> trump is saying all bets >> but trump is saying all bets are off if he becomes if all bets because he says he he disrespected the queen. >> well, i think he feels so upset the queen you upset for the queen because, you know, think about the know, if you think about the queen's last years, they in queen's last years, they were in turmoil reasons. but turmoil for many reasons. but mainly because of harry and meghan. >> i wu- e u think it can >> yeah, i don't think it can have done anything for have helped done anything for her health. >> no, no. >> no, no. >> all the king's current king's health. >> right. nigel tonya, thank you for now. we've leave it for now. we've got to leave it there for we're going to there for now. we're going to get very latest headlines get the very latest headlines with wenzler. she

radio. >> very good morning. >> very good morning. >> it's 1038. this is >> very good morning. >> it's1038. this is britain's newsroom on gb news with jk rowling, one of our favourite authors. >> bev and i, we don't agree on much, but we agree on jk rowling. she's waded into another trans row after criticising like another trans row after criti bbcg like another trans row after critibbc for like another trans row after critibbc for failing like another trans row after critibbc for failing to like another trans row after critibbc for failing to make; the bbc for failing to make clear the convicted murderer and cat killer called scarlet blake. blake is a transgender woman. she tweeted . she tweeted. >> she tweeted um, this is not a woman. this is because if you're listening on the radio, sky news put out a tweet saying breaking news. a woman who filmed herself killing a cat before putting the animal in a blender has been jailed. jk rowling tweeted jailed. and jk rowling tweeted this woman. these are this is not a woman. these are not our crimes. this is not a woman. these are not our crimes . and that, as we not our crimes. and that, as we saw , there is scarlett blake. so saw, there is scarlett blake. so and scarlett blake has been convicted and is going to a prison , a male prison for men. prison, a male prison for men. >> so let's bring in human rights and lgbt campaigner peter tatchell. >> good morning, peter taylor. great to see you. thank you so much. you were the top of the list of the people we wanted to

talk to about this today, because we know that you normally launch a very fierce defence scarlett blake defence of why scarlett blake should called by the should be called a woman by the media. explain >> a very strong >> well, i'm a very strong support of trans human rights. i think equality and respect for trans people is absolutely paramount . trans people is absolutely paramount. but in this case, i think those media outlets got it wrong . quite clearly, scarlett wrong. quite clearly, scarlett should have been described correctly as a trans woman, not as a woman. so i don't often agree with jk rowling , but on agree with jk rowling, but on this instance, she's right . this instance, she's right. >> so. >> so. >> but here we go. so the editor of the guardian, peter tatchell, and the editor of sky news are probably sat there with their handsin probably sat there with their hands in their heads right now saying, peter tatchell, it's because of you that have now because of you that we have now changed linguistic guide changed our linguistic guide book.so changed our linguistic guide book. so what? how did they get it wrong and why? >> well, it's not because of me. i've never said that, uh, that trans women are women. i've always said trans women are trans women. yeah they are

women, but not the same as other women. and that difference needs to be mentioned and emphasised , to be mentioned and emphasised, not exaggerated, not demonised , not exaggerated, not demonised, used. but it is a difference. and i think there's a clear difference between a biological woman that is women who are women based on their biology, particularly their chromosomal sex, and women who are based on their gender identity. those are two different things. they're equally valid , but they are equally valid, but they are different. and in cases where it is relevant of course it should be mentioned that someone is trans or not trans . trans or not trans. >> as i listened specifically to the news at one yesterday, peter on the bbc, i listened back to it. so the presenter in the studio referred to scarlett blake the whole time as a woman and the reporter outside the court case who'd covering court case who'd been covering that day in and day out. that case day in and day out. woman. no mention at all of transgender women. i think that's actually dishonest reporting . reporting. >> well, i agree , i agree. we >> well, i agree, i agree. we shouldn't make a big hoo ha over trans people committing crimes

because most crimes are committed not by trans people, but by non trans people. but when it comes to reporting the facts , it's clear that scarlett facts, it's clear that scarlett blake is a trans woman. and that's the way it should be reported. and that's not demonising trans people. it's just simply stating the facts. and i think if we don't state the facts, then we leave ourselves open to valid criticism. yeah. >> so who has got it wrong here? who, who and why? peter, have we got editors of signifying media news outlets ? it's getting news outlets? it's getting something so factual wrong. who would be complaining if they described scarlett blake as a trans woman ? trans woman? >> well, i think the desire to be sensitive and respectful to trans people led to scarlett being simply described as a woman. the media outlets obviously didn't want to highlight the fact that, um,

scarlett was trans. um, they didn't want to make that a big issue . so they simply said, um , issue. so they simply said, um, scarlett was a woman. now i think that was a mistake . and it think that was a mistake. and it actually , it feeds the culture actually, it feeds the culture wars, if we're not honest . you wars, if we're not honest. you know, trans women are trans women. we need to say that that's not being disrespectful. it's acknowledging the facts. and if we try and bury the reality, then i think, you know, we're just opening ourselves to valid criticism and concern and concern . it just it feeds it concern. it just it feeds it feeds transphobia. if we aren't being honest. and that's i'm 100% supporting trans human rights. but i think, you know , rights. but i think, you know, in this case, in all cases , a in this case, in all cases, a person's biological sex or gender identity where relevant, needs to be mentioned . and i needs to be mentioned. and i think this particular case clearly , she was she was a trans clearly, she was she was a trans woman . woman. >> we've got to leave it. >> we've got to leave it. >> thank you peter. >> thank you peter. >> voice of common sense. >> voice of common sense. >> yeah, absolutely. good well, hopefully the pendulum swings a

little back the studio. little bit back in the studio. >> your microphone >> we've got your microphone sorted lord ranger sorted now. lord, lord ranger called coverage former vice bofis called coverage former vice boris johnson. we were talking called coverage former vice boris _no1son. we were talking called coverage former vice boris _no �*isoi areas were talking called coverage former vice boris _no1s0iareas earlier,lking about no go areas earlier, weren't we? can i ask you weren't we? covid can i ask you a question? you're a a personal question? you're a prominent your prominent sikh. what about your own experiences no go? how own experiences of no go? how much racism have you experienced? >> i'm very proud to be a born and bred londoner. this is a city of my birth and i've had the privilege of working for it as well. when i worked for the mayor. but growing up in the 80s, difficult. um we 80s, it was difficult. um we weren't allowed out at night because our parents would be scared about what would happen to us under the cover of darkness. you'd be attacked. you could. there could be violence . could. there could be violence. there know, gangs. yes there were, you know, gangs. yes yes. racism. pure, blatant racism. and you had to live with that. you didn't quite understand why we were restricted, but we knew we wouldn't go out. wouldn't wouldn't go out. i wouldn't go to or i wouldn't be to watch or i wouldn't be allowed by my parents to go and watch beloved local then watch my beloved local then third brentford . third division team, brentford. i'm fan, but i'm a tottenham fan, but brentford were my local club because they were afraid. now brentford family brentford is a great family

football has that football club. it has that tradition but back in the tradition but back then in the 80s tradition but back then in the 805 it tradition but back then in the 80s it was difficult to be on the terraces a as a young the terraces and as a as a young asian boy with a with a sort of bubble on. and if i was allowed to go, it would be if i went with some white friends. i've had bricks thrown at me in newcastle when i went on a sikh camp there. i've had i've been hauled a plane in manchester hauled off a plane in manchester for, for acting suspiciously for, um, for acting suspiciously at gunpoint. i was particularly concerned at that moment where six of manchester's finest were standing there with guns pointed at me. now, this, this is that was actually post the 9/11 penod was actually post the 9/11 period as well, was a sort of racial profiling going on. but these incidents happened through these incidents happened through the 80s and 90s. but what i'm proud about is that they don't happen now. they don't they're not a regular occurrence. people from different communities are not afraid to go out at night and not afraid to. mick's not afraid to go to any other area to be part of a broader community of londoners and actually britain. and i think we have to reflect on how far we've

come. >> yeah, and it's great. we've got a hindu prime minister we've got a hindu prime minister we've got you in the houses. but i know i wrote this story know this. i wrote this story about you all know about lord woolley. you all know lord he was very, very, lord woolley. he was very, very, very bold in the campaign to get more he more black people to vote. he told three, three times when told me three, three times when he was in the house of lords, he was confused for a member of staff he was asked by a very staff and he was asked by a very elderly peer, could you do some photocopying man? photocopying for me, young man? three times. now a form three times. now that's a form of a sense, isn't it? of racism in a sense, isn't it? because assume because he's because they assume because he's a he must be a black man, he must be a servant. but member of staff. >> a form of profiling, >> it's a form of profiling, i would don't think that would say. i don't think that happens now. >> fairly recently, but >> that was fairly recently, but but woolley, know, he but simon woolley, you know, he was the main reasons was one of the main reasons i got involved politics because got involved in politics because he and michael howard held a speech burnley when michael speech in burnley when michael howard of howard first became leader of the party because the conservative party because of tension there the conservative party because of there. tension there was there. >> and michael howard wanted to confront i up to that confront that. i went up to that speech. took a day off work. speech. i took a day off work. i wasn't politically active , and wasn't politically active, and you see the extremists you could see the extremists from right that were from the far right that were there that day , and you have to there that day, and you have to walk that line to face that kind

of anger to get to where we face that down. >> the other thing, the only other with other thing we're dealing with now, we've got these pressure on the and conservative the labour mps and conservative mps last week, literally mps last week, which literally changed process changed our democratic process in country , which in this country, which is not good. middle yes, we've good. middle east, yes, we've got batley still got a teacher in batley still in hiding who can't out hiding who can't come out because he taught something which the local islamic community, um , considered to be community, um, considered to be anti—muslim . so as lovely as anti—muslim. so as lovely as this sounds, and thank goodness it isn't like the 80s, there are still issues which let's call them , i don't know, indigenous, them, i don't know, indigenous, white, christian people. it's not necessarily about melanin . not necessarily about melanin. it's even necessarily about it's not even necessarily about religion. those people feel religion. but those people feel that there is something going on that there is something going on that making them frightened. that is making them frightened. >> interesting. >> i think it's interesting. there always be what there will always be what people will as a block vote. will think of as a block vote. it used to said that labour it used to be said that labour had the asian vote. that's right. when i grew up, when i first came out as a tory people, my asian community would look at me as almost how dare you? there was a sort of indelible link between us and the labour party.

don't ask me why, but but i think we're in a new generation where, yes, growing demographic mix, different communities may feel that they are aligned in mass in bloc with a certain actually, it's not a party now. it's policy . but actually, it's not a party now. it's policy. but i think this is the change of democracy that we have to look to adjust. and our politicians have to be strong to hold the policies that hold on to the policies that they in and, and work they believe in and, and work with communities to make with those communities to make sure they understand the to sure they understand the need to covid, so much, as covid, thank you so much, as always, to him. always, very good to see him. >> very up next, prince >> very good. up next, prince of wales out of wales has pulled out of attending the memorial service for constantine of for the late king constantine of greece at windsor castle due to a personal matter. not sure whether be able tell whether we'll be able to tell you but we might be you what it is, but we might be able britain's able to. this is britain's newsroom on gb news. this is.

that, yeah, yeah, it was because the context of what he was talking he talking talking about, he was talking about islamophobe and anti—muslim the anti—muslim hatred and the right, anderson right, obviously overly anderson to in. to then just lob in. >> no go zones. then clearly people the link. that people make the link. that is what talking about. what he was talking about. you're people can talk you're right. people can talk about all up in, about areas. we all grew up in, areas don't want to go areas where you don't want to go down that street at night because it's a little bit dodgy, but know, nothing to but you know, that's nothing to do with religion. the do with religion. it was the fact linked two fact that he linked those two things. yeah together is things. yeah um, together is what's got into water. what's got him into hot water. >> yeah. the um, the, the tory party of course, get into party of course, won't get into this definition of islamophobia. they it. no. that's they don't accept it. no. that's their position. their that's their position. the liberal have liberal democrats have labour have other parties. >> say anti—muslim hatred. >> they say anti—muslim hatred. >> they say anti—muslim hatred. >> say. yeah. >> that's what they say. yeah. are they right to do that? because islamophobia is fairly because islamophobia is a fairly recent because islamophobia is a fairly rec> it is. and it's very difficult if you've got different definitions of different definitions of different people, different different people, have different interpretations of it. it's probably clear of probably wise to steer clear of it, islamophobia it, because islamophobia can mean to one and mean one thing to one group and one thing completely different to so anti—muslim to another group. so anti—muslim hatred, is much hatred, i guess, is much more precise easily precise and easily understandable. to it? understandable. relate to it? absolutely. think problem absolutely. i think the problem the conservatives have got themselves that themselves into, though, is that they even engage in

they won't really even engage in that. mean, had tom that. i mean, we had tom tugendhat yesterday. he's a scottish said , uh, scottish minister, he said, uh, anti—muslim hatred that lee anderson suspended because anderson was suspended because of hatred. but of anti—muslim hatred. yeah, but rishi sunak won't go anywhere near that. oliver dowden wouldn't go anywhere near that at the weekend. so they've got themselves and themselves into a real man, and it's because want back. it's because they want him back. >> don't want to lose him. >> they don't want to lose him. >> they don't want to lose him. >> yeah, but i mean, i don't see a for him because a way back for him now because you know, he's not apologised, apologise. he's not going to apologise. he's not going to apologise. clear apologise. he's been very clear about that. so know, where about that. so you know, where is ladder that he climbs up. is the ladder that he climbs up. if my metaphors to get if you mix my metaphors to get back i just back into the party, i just don't see richard tice. >> stranger to this >> um, no stranger to this program is rubbing his hands with the idea. chris program is rubbing his hands with was the idea. chris program is rubbing his hands with was sayingidea. chris program is rubbing his hands with was saying our. chris program is rubbing his hands with was saying our editor might hope was saying our editor might cross and join reform. cross the floor and join reform. that be massive and that would be massive reform and disaster for the tories. >> said last month >> oh yeah, said last month he was a deputy chairman of the tory party to then crossed the floor you say, would be floor as you say, would be pretty he's pretty remarkable. and he's obviously reform. obviously flirting with reform. he it out he wasn't ruling it out last night and made me feel more night and it made me feel more comfortable in reform than he would present day conservative. >> i mean, look, politicians

>> i mean, look, all politicians have from what have got enormous egos from what i can see. and, uh, there may be there's a part of lee anderson that's quite enjoying being in the middle particular the middle of this particular storm and getting some sort of professional as professional capital from it as well. but where does it leave the conservative party and rishi sunak? because i'm wondering, instead suspending him instead of suspending him straight , shouldn't rishi straight away, shouldn't rishi sunak given him an sunak have possibly given him an opportunity to explain himself because about the work ? so because it is about the work? so ikeep because it is about the work? so i keep banging on about this, but this whole issue is about language choosing the right language and choosing the right words . this language and choosing the right words. this isn't about language and choosing the right words . this isn't about racist words. this isn't about racist action. this isn't about somebody coming to apply to be lee anderson's pa and saying, i'm not going to employ you because you're a muslim. it's not the tangible results of racism discrimination. racism and discrimination. it's about words. maybe sunak about words. and maybe sunak should have just stopped and said, going to give said, right, i'm going to give lee spoken. perhaps lee anderson has spoken. perhaps he's . explain you he's misspoken. explain what you mean, suspended him. >> e- him. >> the lying e the lying on him. >> the lying on saturday >> well, the lying on saturday when he lost the whip was that he had taken off him because he had it taken off him because he had it taken off him because he refused to apologise. so obviously were obviously there were conversations try conversations going on to try and him to apologise. he and get him to apologise. he refused do that. so they had

refused to do that. so they had the withdrawn. but then the whip withdrawn. but then weirdly, the whip withdrawn. but then weirdlywas out and about and he sunak was out and about and he was saying he lost the whip because of what he said. not not because of what he said. not not because of what he said. not not because of refusing to apologise. to apologise. so so you again it's been this you know again it's been this confusion. yeah. you know again it's been this confusi also eah. you know again it's been this confusi also it's just poor >> it's also it's just poor parenting . honestly i think parenting. honestly i think sometimes i some of these sometimes i think some of these mps to go to school mps need to go to parent school because don't just get because you don't just get your child say if they don't child to say sorry if they don't mean there's no point saying mean it. there's no point saying to sorry, say to lee anderson, say sorry, say sorry, sorry. if his heart sorry, say sorry. if his heart isn't in it. he has to speak from the heart and has to from the heart and he has to represent own values. represent his own values. >> all he said is the >> and all he said is the language he used was clumsy, which it was, there's no doubt. >> mean, was it was >> i mean, it was it was a conspiracy theory, really. what he that, you he was saying was that, you know, sadiq khan know, that sadiq khan is controlled islamists, which controlled by islamists, which obviously keir obviously he also said of keir starmer to the labour leader, well he did. that's right. yeah >> got forgotten again, >> that's got forgotten again, if racist, well if he wants to say racist, well he's about white man to he's saying about a white man to the labour leader. >> well yeah. but the fact >> yeah. well yeah. but the fact he said sadiq khan that he said about sadiq khan that was yeah, that's what him. was yeah, that's what got him. >> but is this a word of >> but also is this a word of islamist? understand the

national statistics. and although they are predicting that it will fall, it's still going to settle around about 350,000 people in terms of net migration. so that's a big issue for the uk to tackle as well. in terms of the demand that it has for people to come for migrants to come to this country , to take to come to this country, to take up jobs . up jobs. >> okay. thank you very much, mark. it'll be interesting to see what comes out. what james cleverly says in the election yean the cleverly says in the election year, the tone year, you've got to get the tone of right. of that right. >> and let me tell you, he's on manoeuvres because they all are. yeah, he'll be a contender for the leadership. he's got a pretty there in essex. pretty safe seat there in essex. and he's got an and of course he's got an immigration issue his own immigration issue in his own constituency because they're trying into trying to move migrant s into is it camp in his it a former raf camp in his constituency? scampton can see that 111 them anyway. that 111 of them anyway. >> to come. uh, >> right. still to come. uh, this misgendered murderer, the trans killer scarlett blake, trans cat killer scarlett blake, was described by a woman today by most british news outlets . by most british news outlets. and our panel will discuss why

antonia buxton. >> um, right. do you want to talk about, um, whether it's so i've got the giggles. that was that was all rather lovely, wasn't it? buxton and nigel nelson was quite calm for once. it's normally it wasn't like. >> right, let's go for it. >> right, let's go for it. >> we're normally at fluster bluster at this point, but um. right. nigel trans woman right. nigel this trans woman killer, scarlett blake. yeah uh, described by the guardian, sky news in fact, a guardian journalist has resigned over the fact that the newspaper insisted on calling scarlett blake a woman because the female journalist said this is not factually accurate. why why? we've had peter tatchell saying that they don't have to call this person. well, he said they should have called her trans woman. >> well, i mean, certainly in the reports that i've seen the sky, sky report you mentioned, i've just checked the bbc website, there, they're mentioning that she is transgender. well, that's changed then, because i, i play back the 1:00 news. >> right. and i and it included the report from the studio and from the outside. the court and not once did they say that she

was the killer was described as a woman killer. well all the way through the through these reports, including the daily mail , that she is described as woman. >> woman. >> right. um, which is because she is a woman and the fact she is a woman and the fact she is transgender has absolutely no beanng transgender has absolutely no bearing on the case that was being tried where it does have a beanng being tried where it does have a bearing is that she'll serve her sentence in a male prison. and thatis sentence in a male prison. and that is where the description of her as transgender comes in, because they've just because they've decided the killer is a bloke , hence going to a male prison. >> well , i prison. >> well, i mean, prison. >> well , i mean, they've decided >> well, i mean, they've decided that the suitable place for her is a male prison. >> i mean, i don't know the details about that. what we don't know, obviously , is quite don't know, obviously, is quite how transgender she is and how she has surgery or something like that. it looks like not. yeah um, but certainly under the official position in this

country , under the gender country, under the gender recognition act, she is a woman . recognition act, she is a woman. >> peter tatchell it's interesting, he said that the brookside should have called that person that killer, that monster. let's be clear, monster actually . actually. >> cruel monster. >> cruel monster. >> a cruel monster should have been them a transgender. been called them a transgender. well couldn't, you know, well i couldn't, i, you know, i fell off my seat when peter tatchell that. tatchell said that. >> literally off my seat >> i literally fell off my seat because that's really what we have been for the whole time. >> i am a woman. i'm not a cis woman. i'm a woman. because i was a woman and the others was born a woman and the others are trans women , and that's are trans women, and that's absolutely fine. it's absolutely great. but the point that jk rowling was making is the fact that these are not our crimes. so they were registering this trans woman, which is a biological male. i think with a biological male. i think with a biological male. i think with a biological male tackle . yeah. biological male tackle. yeah. um, as a woman and therefore, you know, it's not our crimes . you know, it's not our crimes. it goes down in statistics. are you giggling because i'm giggling at the fact that, well, what did you want me to say? >> yes. no tackle is good. i mean, that's that's the easiest.

>> you know, could say >> you know, i could say the p word, but i thought better not. um, and it's also that the basically this isn't journalism. this ideology driven trollop. this is ideology driven trollop. >> and does it matter? >> and why does it matter? because statistics matter. because statistics matter. because sticks will lead because stats sticks will lead to research to and funding, nigel. and therefore , if there nigel. and therefore, if there are a number of trans women crimes , crimes committed by crimes, crimes committed by trans women going down as women committed crimes, this is a point j.k. rowling was making. that's just factually wrong . that's just factually wrong. >> well, it's not factually wrong. the trouble is that no one here would accept that she is a woman, that that's the issue that we, the trans woman , issue that we, the trans woman, whether you're doing it again . whether you're doing it again. but no one will accept that she is a woman. >> no, she is not a biological woman. she's a trans woman. >> okay, well, i think she is a woman. okay >> that's because you think genderis >> that's because you think gender is not nature. it is nurture. it it is how you nurture. it is. it is how you self define your gender, which is different to your biological sex. >> sex. >> that's right. >> that's right. >> the bible's not facts, it? >> the bible's not facts, is it? nigel feels not facts.

>> biology , oral sex can't >> well, biology, oral sex can't be changed. i accept that, but you've just changed it. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> biological sex can't be changed. gender can be changed. and the official position in this country for the last 20 years has been if you live in your acquired gender for two years and you have a diagnosis of gender dysphoria , and you of gender dysphoria, and you decide, then that that you want to be a woman and that will appear on your birth certificate, that will appear on your driving license. and any other official documents. so thatis other official documents. so that is the official position in this country. so she is a woman for those purposes. >> but you can see how this will skew statistics . skew statistics. >> yes, in the long run. so when somebody looks at the female at the levels of crime in 2024 and they go, oh gosh , there was a they go, oh gosh, there was a spike in the number of women who committed crimes in 2024. what was wrong with those women that needs to be that those are needs to be clear that those are trans women because of political policy , financial decisions,

policy, financial decisions, education that will be made going forward. surely it matters i >> -- >> but you want to have a separate sort of section for trans women when it comes down to criminal convictions. is that what you're saying? >> the definition of? nigel? >> the definition of? nigel? >> i think that could be helpful. >> i think it's really helpful if you're a trans man, a trans woman, and it should say so. >> this was a trans woman? yes, a criminal conviction, who, by the way, would say was guilty the way, i would say was guilty of the worst sort of of some of the worst sort of distorted violence. distorted male violence. >> i mean, word, word >> i mean, the word, the word monster right. monster is absolutely right. i mean, i mean that she was a monster, blended a cat monster, that she blended a cat after it. she after torturing it. she garrotted victim. so yeah, garrotted her victim. so yeah, absolutely. monster. absolutely. she is a monster. monster is reasonable monster is a reasonable description. and it's not gender based either. no but it's not. >> but but as we said, i think across the board going forward, you know, i have i embrace trans people. it's something that they're going through and that's absolutely fine. but they are trans men or trans women and there difference. there has to be a difference. >> and is why this person >> and that is why this person has gone into male prison. nigel >> yes, that's right. >> yes, that's right. >> but women in and this is why

the reporting then had to include the that it she was include the fact that it she was she was a trans woman because she's going into into a male prison . prison. >> e“- p- p— p far as the case goes, >> but as far as the case goes, the gender was irrelevant . the gender was irrelevant. >> but thank god for gb news. yes. can i just say in a day when this is being reported in every other media outlet, the headuneis every other media outlet, the headline is woman. yeah murders person and blends a cat woman that god for us. actually, we're the only people who are telling this as it is. you're very welcome here, nigel. i can see you. >> but also, we should thank god yet again for jk rowling. >> but also, we should thank god yet again forjk rowling. who? yet again for jk rowling. who? yes, very brave on this issue, because she will get a heap of abuse over this. >> i admire that woman so much because she could just sit on her piles of money and not get involved , but she is a true involved, but she is a true fighter for women and a true feminist and true feminist. feminist and a true feminist. >> absolutely right. should we feminist and a true feminist. >> labouttely right. should we feminist and a true feminist. >> labout somethingshould we feminist and a true feminist. >> labout something much we feminist and a true feminist. >> labout something much more talk about something much more serious the that serious about the fact that we're get any more we're not going to get any more funding in the budget next week? apparently the military? nigel >> yes, this is report in the

>> yes, this is a report in the telegraph, uh, today, um, which we've coming up we've got the budget coming up next apparently next wednesday, and apparently that ministry of defence that the ministry of defence won't be getting getting anything extra . the question, anything extra. the question, obviously, where i mean, obviously, is where i mean, jeremy hunt can't, um, spend money on everything. >> it's because the money has already gone to ukraine. money that probably would have gone to the ministry of defence. he's going. an extra the ministry of defence. he's goingbillion, an extra the ministry of defence. he's goingbillion, which an extra the ministry of defence. he's goingbillion, which hasn't extra the ministry of defence. he's goingbillion, which hasn't gone £2.5 billion, which hasn't gone yet. that have been yet. that would have been presumably that presumably nigel money that would well. would have gone well. >> it could have done. i mean, you're total aid you're talking about a total aid to has been over to uk train has been over 7 billion. yeah. it's going to get to 12 and but i don't think that's the reason. i think the reason can't have reason that the mod can't have money because, um, jeremy money is because, um, jeremy hunt wants to get some election sweeteners in which are tax cuts. >> yeah. it's embarrassing. we've are they we've got war. what are they called? carriers that called? aircraft carriers that can't don't anchored in portsmouth harbour because they can't. >> we have a military system that's functioning . that's that's not functioning. that's a fact. and this, this has been a problem for many years. yeah. it's a really incompetent system. so right from the top, they someone in to they needed to get someone in to sort it out, clear it up and

make sure things are working. but i personally, um, but i can say i personally, um, uh, my opinion is that i think we can't just keep funnelling buckets and buckets of money to ukraine. it's really we have to defend our shores and we have to worry about our people and our shores. and this the problem. shores. and this is the problem. >> britain has some small boats. >> britain has some small boats. >> well, exactly. that's exactly it. not just with it. but it's not just with ukraine, with many other ukraine, it's with so many other countries where poked our countries where we've poked our nose involved, used up nose in, got involved, used up our when we shouldn't nose in, got involved, used up our we when we shouldn't nose in, got involved, used up our we should1en we shouldn't nose in, got involved, used up our we should be we shouldn't nose in, got involved, used up our we should be defendingin't nose in, got involved, used up our we should be defending our be. we should be defending our shores looking after our people. >> well, the argument would be by by defending ukraine, are by by defending ukraine, we are defending. oh, why? >> argument that, you >> why this argument that, you know, going to come know, that putin's going to come and invade and this and invade poland and all this rubbish, fear rubbish, it's just fear mongering more money out mongering to get more money out of us. >> you don't think putin might do that? no, i do not ukraine. >> i do not think he will invade anywhere from anywhere else apart from ukraine, feels has been ukraine, which he feels has been is russia. and is part of his russia. and because of what's going on in nato, very threatened nato, he feels very threatened by it. there's and lots of by it. there's lots and lots of reasons is not going to reasons he is not going to invade anywhere else. >> won't provide it. >> well, he he won't provide it. we firm ukraine. we hold firm on ukraine.

the greek family ahead the greek royal family um, ahead of tell them of this service to tell them that he's not going to be there. but of course, now we're all speculating as this speculating as to what this reason is. >> now, some people might say, well, who's king constantine? he's but he's not important, is he? but he's william. he's not important, is he? but he"no, william. he's not important, is he? but he"no, he william. he's not important, is he? but he"no, he absolutely.iam. he's not important, is he? but he"no, he absolutely is.n. he's not important, is he? but he"no, he absolutely is. king >> no, he absolutely is. king constantine. it was prince william's godfather. the william's godfather. and the royal very royal family is a very interlinked king constantine with was king charles's second cousin, sounds like cousin, which sounds like a distant relative, doesn't it? but constantine was deposed but king constantine was deposed in spent a lot of his in the 1960s, spent a lot of his time well, 50 odd years living in london, and he grew very time well, 50 odd years living in lorto n, and he grew very time well, 50 odd years living in lorto charles.e grew very time well, 50 odd years living in lorto charles. very,n very time well, 50 odd years living in lorto charles. very, very,y close to charles. very, very, very good friends. he was also prince philip, the late, the late of edinburgh, sailing late duke of edinburgh, sailing partner as well. there partner as well. so there are very and in fact very much links and in fact all the families are the european royal families are very today . so we've very linked today. so we've spotted rivals as well . the spotted a rivals as well. the king queen of spain are part king and queen of spain are part of but of the congregation, but something that shocked me as well, away the european well, away from the european royals, andrew and fergie have been walking together, pictured royals, andrew and fergie have been watogether,ather, pictured royals, andrew and fergie have been watogether, going pictured royals, andrew and fergie have been watogether, going into red royals, andrew and fergie have been watogether, going into the walking together, going into the service , which was slightly service, which was slightly unexpected . of course. it is unexpected. of course. it is a private memorial service and prince andrew can go to private

services, but they've chosen, of course, to walk past all the cameras, which i know would have been there. >> so these are the pictures of today. at here today. >> okay. uh oh. flicking very quickly. so various radio. quickly. yeah. so various radio. >> yeah. we don't know who they. i don't recognise those come on cameron. who are they. >> recognise are those >> recognise those who are those expertise of european minor royals as it could be. >> i mean, it's a big >> but i mean, it's a big turnout of the royal family which is all reason which is all the more reason that it's amazing that william which is all the more reason that there. lazing that william isn't there. >> yeah, it absolutely is. so queen, is there. as in queen, the queen is there. as in queen, the queen is there. as in queen camilla. we've got zara and tindall. have, and mike tindall. we have, as i said, duke of york. uh, sarah, duchess york as well. duchess of york as well. princess anne, princess beatrice, a it's a real beatrice, that's a it's a real that's a lot. edoardo mapelli mozzi. yeah, of course not. the princess wales, she's princess of wales, she's recovering abdominal recovering from abdominal surgery again, surgery. but that's again, we've now three out of the four now have three out of the four most senior royals not there too, for health reasons. and then very unexpected then one very unexpected personal matter which we're none the about. it's to be the wiser about. it's got to be something with the kids, something to do with the kids, hasn't it? >> looks like a handful.

>> louis looks like a handful. do you think he's got suspended from school something? and from school or something? and william's go deal william's had to go and deal with it. >> couldn't possibly comment with it. >> that. ildn't possibly comment with it. >> that. il(wouldssibly comment with it. >> that. il(would ssibvery. �*nment on that. i would be very. i don't think they would go into that kind detail, but i am. that kind of detail, but i am. i am also told that this is a temporary thing, this personal matter. future engagements matter. so no future engagements of of wales. nothing of the prince of wales. nothing else been. i'm expected else has been. i'm not expected to yeah. so nothing to be affected. yeah. so nothing else been cancelled. else has been cancelled. it seems to today. so seems to just be today. so whether or not it is a health issue either, like a minor health issue with part his health issue with part of his family, know prince family, of course we know prince william. he's got something on working. >> maybe he's got something contagious as well. >> quite possibly. of >> quite possibly. and of course, won't want course, of course he won't want to others, but to give it to others, but kensington palace not going kensington palace are not going into any further details. other than personal than saying that it's a personal matter. also matter. kensington palace also has keeping private has form for keeping private medical private. medical details private. of course, of wales course, the princess of wales have gone into any more have not gone into any more details about her abdominal surgery. prince william had surgery. when prince william had covid they kept covid back in 2020, they kept that to avoid that very quiet to avoid panicking, the public. so this is kind of setting precedent a bit for maybe he's on the phone to donald trump, maybe he's on the phone to donald trump going,

you rumour about you know, that rumour about harry and you're letting harry and you're not letting him go to america? >> a word about >> can we have a word about that? because otherwise he's going to back here. maybe going to be back here. maybe he's emergency meeting. >> reasons to what >> infinite reasons as to what it could be. >> lots of speculation. hopefully he's okay anyway and hopefully all hopefully he they're all all right. children as well. right. the children as well. sure. right. thank you sure. all right. thank you cameron. are cameron. so um, protests are weakening force, weakening our police force, particularly at the weekend. that's been warned that's what mps have been warned at home affairs committee. at the home affairs committee. >> police have spent at least 25 million israeli million stewarding the israeli gaza london since gaza marches in london since october. the deliberately october. while the deliberately disruptive just october. while the deliberately disru oil e just october. while the deliberately disru oil e also just october. while the deliberately disru oil e also eaten st october. while the deliberately disruoile also eaten into stop oil have also eaten into the police's limited resources . the police's limited resources. >> so joining us now is our reporter charlie peters, with the latest. are these significant figures, charlie , significant figures, charlie, when you're talking about policing . policing budget. >> well it's 18 million in london in particular. >> i think now across >> i think 30 million now across the country . the whole country. >> the met's budget is over >> but the met's budget is over £4 billion a year. so it is quite a small proportion financially. but what lot of financially. but what a lot of policing experts are saying financially. but what a lot of policiris experts are saying financially. but what a lot of policiris that rts are saying financially. but what a lot of policiris that it'sare saying financially. but what a lot of policiris that it's not;aying financially. but what a lot of policiris that it's not really today is that it's not really the the the money that's causing the problem, the manpower and problem, it's the manpower and thousands away thousands being dragged away from policing priorities. thousands being dragged away frori've policing priorities.

thousands being dragged away frori've seen)licing priorities. thousands being dragged away frori've seen some priorities. thousands being dragged away frori've seen some of iorities. thousands being dragged away frori've seen some of theses. >> i've seen some of these marches , charlie. there seems to marches, charlie. there seems to be police officers be hundreds of police officers there. you think, shouldn't there. and you think, shouldn't you the in north you be on the beat in north london in of these london or in some of these so—called go areas? so—called no go areas? >> and it's not just the actual operational days that are concerning today. concerning police forces today. it's also rest days being cancelled. and if you want an effective, happy and engaged police force, need your police force, you need your police force, you need your police officers have some police officers to have some time as well. and that so time off as well. and that so many those days have been many of those days have been drawn away in order to engage with these protests. >> yet huge police >> and yet a huge police presence at these palestinian pro—palestinian marches. i saw presence at these palestinian pro-ukrainianan marches. i saw presence at these palestinian pro-ukrainian march:hes. i saw presence at these palestinian pro-ukrainian march:helondon' presence at these palestinian pro-ukrainian march:helondon on the ukrainian march in london on friday, hardly a police officer there. what's difference? there. what's the difference? well, is many well, the difference is many campaigners are saying today as that those protests have the potential spark enormous potential to spark enormous pubuc potential to spark enormous public fury and also contain incidents of antisocial and dangerous. >> and indeed, many are saying racist anti—semitism, anti—semitic incidents in particular. so of all of the reactions that we've seen to this report today, which is quite minute , actually, its quite minute, actually, its recommendations, its key finding is that the minimum time you

offer the police notice before a major protest should be raised from six days, the main response to that has come from the campaign against anti—semitism, which report which is that that report is disappointing, said disappointing, the report said that demonstrations outside mps homes were dangerous and shouldn't happen, but it doesn't extend the same criticism. the campaign says, towards how jewish people feel when these marches take place , when the met marches take place, when the met isn't interfering, when you have chants in favour of the houthi terrorists in yemen, when they don't interfere after chants for jihad they don't jihad and when they don't interfere genocide , idol interfere after genocide, idol chants about the state of israel . they say that it's no wonder that 90% of jews say they don't want to go into city centres with anti—israel protests taking place. shocking they are place. so shocking they are significant figures. >> thank charlie. um >> okay. thank you. charlie. um right. still to come this morning, we're going to be looking to next week's looking ahead to next week's spnng you looking ahead to next week's spring you can't spring budget. i bet you can't wait. you're excited about it? no. we're hoping there no. well, we're hoping there might be some tax cuts, but will there be? we will speculate after the break. this is

britain's

radio. big day next week.

>> it's the spring budget, a big moment for the chancellor and the tories, because of course, this could be the last budget before the general election almost will be. almost certainly will be. >> us in the studio >> so joining us in the studio is and economics is our business and economics ednon is our business and economics editor, halligan. liam, are editor, liam halligan. liam, are you on the edge of your seat about the budget next week? >> having covered about, >> well, having covered about, you 20 budgets and you know, 20 budgets and 20 spending than spending reviews, i'm older than i look. spending reviews, i'm older than i loum , this is important >> um, this is an important budget. joking aside, we had a tax cut from the chancellor in january. they want to do more tax cuts. >> did nothing their >> did nothing for their political fortunes. >> want to more tax >> they want to do more tax cuts. uh next week, on wednesday, march sixth. wednesday, march the sixth. and they more tax cuts at they want to do more tax cuts at they want to do more tax cuts at the spending review the the spending review in the autumn, their autumn, hopefully, in their view, before a general election in october, november , if rishi in october, november, if rishi sunak's government, frankly doesn't before that , doesn't fall apart before that, isn't marmoles by a vote of no confidence in the commons or something let's something like that, but let's you know, lots of apparently ,

you know, lots of apparently, uh, influential bodies are saying tax cuts. no way. we can't afford them. let's have a little look at the situation ahead of this spring budget. we see that in 2023, the autumn statement you had that national insurance cut in the main rate of national insurance, which is a tax in all but name from 12 to 10. that was implemented in january , just after christmas . january, just after christmas. jeremy hunt, the chancellor, now says he wants smart tax cuts that boost the economy. so that's more like income tax cut rather than an inheritance tax cut. so so affecting lots and lots of people. >> has he come up with that word smart tax cut. >> that's what he's come up with. that's what he's come up with. that's what he's come up with. focus group within an inch of its life. >> that is your technocrat speak right there you smartphone. >> the institute for fiscal studies the influential studies the ifs very influential body. neutral. they body. politically neutral. they say current case for say that the current case for tax cuts is weak . if we can. tax cuts is weak. if we can. there it is. uh, they said that in a big kind of press release this morning. pretty political thing to do, if you ask me, for

a neutral body. and the ifs say that jeremy hunt, the chancellor, quotes , should wait chancellor, quotes, should wait before for, um, making tax cuts for a detailed spending review and that spending review of all government spending won't happen until the autumn, of course. and here's a statement from the ifs they say we don't think we should be implementing certain tax cuts now, essentially, that are paid for by uncertain spending cuts that might never be delivered. now, i would say that this way of looking at the economy , the way the ifs is, we economy, the way the ifs is, we can't afford the tax cuts is actually economically extremely questionable because it largely ignores what happens to the economy when you cut taxes . economy when you cut taxes. right. and there is years of historic evidence that when you cut taxes, there , certainly from cut taxes, there, certainly from very high levels. and we're approaching a 70 year high in the tax burden , the share of our the tax burden, the share of our economy that's taken by tax. when you cut tax from a very

high level, behaviours change. of course people work more, people invest more, there's more growth . growth. >> we've got to love you and leave you liam halligan. what a shame. for now we are done here at britain's newsroom. um, up next is. good afternoon next it is. good afternoon britain and emily. see britain with tom and emily. see you tomorrow. you then. you tomorrow. see you then. >> looks like things are heating up . boxt boilers spot answers of up. boxt boilers spot answers of weather on gb news news. hello there. >> welcome to your latest gb news, weather update with me, annie from the met office. it will be a cloudy day for most of us. there will be some hazy sunshine across the south and east but we do have east however, but we do have a weather front pushing into parts of england and of northern england and north wales will bring a spell of wales that will bring a spell of wetter weather through the rest of the afternoon. behind it, though, brighter though, it will turn brighter for of northern ireland for parts of northern ireland and but there are some and scotland. but there are some blustery come. those blustery showers to come. those showers will fall as snow over the as well. the hills of scotland as well. that rain sink into more that rain will sink into more southern of and southern areas of wales and parts midlands by later parts of the midlands by later on. afternoon, but ahead of on. this afternoon, but ahead of it across the south and east. as
