unconditional release of the hostages . but it's still hostages. but it's still surprising given that it is stated israeli policy, that they will go after the hamas terrorists. surprising that we voted for that resolution in many ways. but david cameron, lord cameron, as foreign secretary, has steadily been shifting that position in. add to that an incident that took place at manchester airport yesterday evening . two brothers, yesterday evening. two brothers, nannder yesterday evening. two brothers, narinder kaur and daniel scarabee , were coming into the scarabee, were coming into the country from israel this is just a little snippet of the confrontation they had with border force jets. >> we need to know. okay nobody's saying that. nobody has said that once . so not the said that once. so not the attitude of we've made the decision and you're coming in. so just let us do the checks we need to do and keep quiet. look at me. okay. you clear with that? okay good. we're the bosses, not you. all right, all right. >> well, very sharp, wasn't it?

and i bet you. i tell you what, i bet nobody who comes into dover via dinghy gets spoken to like that. but it was something else that was said that was even more controversial. and sir michael ellis, conservative member of parliament, stood up in house commons today in the house of commons today and explained all. >> speaker, terrorist >> mr speaker, the terrorist attack of the 7th of october on israel has provoked widespread anti—semitism in this country and around the world, and the latest manifestation of this was at manchester airport yesterday, where border force apparently did not want israeli jews to enter this country . two innocent enter this country. two innocent victims of the music festival slaughter were berated and told, and i quote, we have to make sure that you are not going to do what you're doing in gaza over here. end quote. this is to two victims of the nova music festival, blaming all jews for the actions of their country's obviously anti—semitic . these obviously anti—semitic. these are people in uniform acting for this country . we as border force this country. we as border force officers. it is a disgrace

beyond all proportion. their detention was clearly unlawful for several hours. they are being offered free legal representation , which i would representation, which i would urge them to take up. can the defence forgive me? can the deputy foreign secretary confirm that jews and israelis are still welcome to enter this country? >> yeah, yeah , minister. >> yeah, yeah, minister. >> yeah, yeah, minister. >> well, i thank my right hon. and learned friend for his extremely robust comments, mr speaken extremely robust comments, mr speaker, which are are reflective of an absolutely outrageous, shocking and disgraceful incident which is now being investigated well , i now being investigated well, i thought sir michael ellis put that pretty well and i sense that pretty well and i sense that there is a growing prejudice against israel and the people from israel beginning to run right through our public services. >> now, neria and daniel scarabee will be on with patrick christys the night he interviewed them earlier on today. you'll get the full interview this evening, but here's just a snippet.

>> two hours tom moore a he called us back and he said . i called us back and he said. i asked him why? why are you doing it? why? what are we doing? what are we doing wrong? you know, for what? because we are a jewish and. and this guy say a exactly like this . we want to exactly like this. we want to make sure that you're not going to do what you're doing in gaza here. it's something that bring you up everything from october seven that you come share your story, and then you you face with anti—semitism and not from civilians, not from people that think are the way the new from the office of now. >> i'm all for border force doing their job. absolutely. i'm all for strong borders. but if what has been said there is true, then it is pretty disgraceful stuff . and i'm going

disgraceful stuff. and i'm going to ask you a question. have we betrayed israel ? some will think betrayed israel? some will think that's far too strong a question. but you know what? that's how it feels to me. i see a shift in our attitudes towards israel and israelis, and i see it from lord cameron , right the it from lord cameron, right the way down through border force and our public services. give me your thoughts. farage at gb news dot com. well, joining me to debate this is ralphie bloom, member of the management board at the jewish representative council of greater manchester and region, ralphie, some will say , you know, that it's border say, you know, that it's border force's job to be tough , and force's job to be tough, and make sure that people coming in do so with good reason . do so with good reason. >> and i would agree with that, but in this instance , look, but in this instance, look, let's let's put it this way. the uk has as you've said, historically strong military security and trade ties with israel. there's visa free travel between the two countries. there should have been absolutely no

reason for these two young men to have been stopped. their passports should have been stamped and they should have been through without any been let through without any question. was only when they question. it was only when they were asked were here, were asked why they were here, and started to explain that and they started to explain that they survivors the nova they were survivors of the nova music massacre. music festival massacre. actually they're they actually they're heroes. they saved of people saved dozens of people themselves , and it was only when themselves, and it was only when they explained that to the border officer that things began to downhill. there's to go downhill. and there's absolutely nothing that should have meant they detained have meant they were detained for hours. and that for two hours. and that disgraceful at the end , disgraceful comment at the end, is absolutely beyond the pale. so i think it was done because they were israelis, because they were jews, and it's shocking. >> i think your point actually is worth expanding that when those paragliders came indiscriminately, you know, massacring and injuring people, those two lads could have done a runner. those two lads, couldn't they, you know, have gone for safety. but in fact they stayed help people gave medical aid. you were absolutely right. they did play an heroic role, something perhaps , that we ought

something perhaps, that we ought to emphasise little bit more. to emphasise a little bit more. ralphie, know , in the wake ralphie, you know, in the wake of october there has of october the 7th, there has beeni of october the 7th, there has been i put it to you, a very significant shift in british foreign policy in the attitudes of many of our public administrations. and i include much of the education system in this. and i just i don't know what you think, but i just feel there's a younger generation who just don't have much sympathy for israel . for israel. >> i think you're right. and i think i would even add something further to that, because this incident came not one week after a visibly jewish young patient at the royal manchester children's hospital was treated in the most appalling manner by nurses who were wearing pro—palestinian badges and paraphernalia, forced to be removed from his cubicle, have his cannula inserted on the floor. and this is a systematic problem that we're seeing on university campuses that we're seeing in in schools, primary

schools , high schools that we're schools, high schools that we're seeing up and down the country , seeing up and down the country, and it needs to be called out and it needs to be called out and it needs to be stopped because it's already a distressing time to be a jew in this country. since october 7, we've seen a 4,000% rise in anti—semitic incidents . quite a anti—semitic incidents. quite a few of them, by the way, came in the immediate few after the immediate few days after october the before israel october the 7th, before israel had retaliated . these were had even retaliated. these were anti—semitic incidences by people the murders people celebrating the murders and the massacre of october the 7th. so you're absolutely right. there needs to be action taken to stop. certainly, government employees and civil servants from prejudice against jews because of their disagreement with israel's actions , israel's with israel's actions, israel's rightful actions in gaza. >> yeah. i mean, i made the point earlier that it wasn't just border force, that this runs deep right through all of our public services. i talked about education. you talked about education. you talked about an incident that took place in a hospital. but the ultimate the police. and ultimate one is the police. and it on our streets , it seems that on our streets, you know, some of the most appalling things get chanted

from the river to the sea, gets put up, you know, on the elizabeth tower beneath big ben, not a single arrest gets made. mayor khan of london doesn't say a word of criticism about it. and when bloke stands up and yet, when a bloke stands up with a terrorists with a hamas, a terrorists poster , he's manhandled to the poster, he's manhandled to the ground by five policemen, isn't it on the streets, ralphie ? it on the streets, ralphie? well, this needs to begin, isn't it? the attitude to policing that above all, needs to change? >> i think the problem. you're absolutely right. and i think the problem is, is that there's been no clarity with regards to what the law is and what the police can and can't do in different police forces have got different police forces have got different views on some of these obnoxious anti semitic signs that we're seeing, i saw one in manchester last week that said that netanyahu is the hitler of gaza. now that's a clearly anti—semitic sign , but no action anti—semitic sign, but no action was taken. now in manchester we do have a very, very good relationship with greater manchester police . they have manchester police. they have been outstanding in terms of the way that policed the

way that they've policed the community, the community, secured the community, secured the community, feel safe . community, made us feel safe. but i think the problem is, is that there is inconsistency amongst police forces and that is a big problem that we have and is allowing a lot of this jew hate on the street. i think there's also a misunderstanding sometimes chants sometimes of some of the chants that being that, for that are being made that, for example, which is an example, al—yahud, which is an ancient muslim battle to ancient muslim battle cry to murder jews , calls ancient muslim battle cry to murderjews , calls jihad and murder jews, calls for jihad and intifada. what the intifada. we know what the meaning these are. these are meaning of these are. these are calls the of jews , calls for the murder of jews, and i think there needs to be a consistent approach taken by police forces across the country, because these marches are making our city centres no go areas for jews every weekend. >> final thought , ralphie bloom, >> final thought, ralphie bloom, if i may, how pessimistic are you looking ahead ? you looking ahead? >> we're proud british jews. i'm a proud british jew. i'm a proud mancunian. our community has made this city, the city of manchester, that i live in. the great city that it is. we're not going anywhere. we're not going

to be pushed out by people who are anti—semitic and prejudiced against us. but i think it's important to say that anti—semitism is the canary in the coal mine. it's always the first thing. it starts with the jews, but it never ends with the jews, but it never ends with the jews . and i think it's incumbent jews. and i think it's incumbent on everybody in this country to stand up to this jew hatred that we our streets every we witness on our streets every weekend, seeing in weekend, that we're seeing in our and saying our institutions, and saying enough enough. enough is enough. >> you very much indeed >> thank you very much indeed for me this evening on for joining me this evening on gb news. and, you know, maybe ralph right . first they came ralph is right. first they came for the jews. in a moment, i'm going to tell you about a really good day for donald trump. now, i mean , a really, really good i mean, a really, really good day for donald trump

well, some of your thoughts on

that israel debate. michael says, yes, we have betrayed israel, which i find absolutely disgraceful and shameful. however with cameron as foreign secretary, i'm not surprised. no, no, you're quite right. he's also gone completely soft on china. funny that, isn't it? i'm not sure there's anything david cameron as prime minister ever got right in terms of foreign policy. quite. why rishi sunak has chosen him to do this job. it's completely and utterly beyond me. diane says we are going soft on hamas. beyond me. diane says we are going soft on hamas . there going soft on hamas. there should be no ceasefire unless all the hostages are released. diane, i agree with that. but to be fair to the un resolution that was passed, that bit was included. but it's made no difference, of course, because israel are continuing with their attacks. their argument would be if there's a ceasefire, it gives hamas time to rearm and to regroup. and ben says there is no doubt in my mind that this border officer was being anti—israeli, and as such should

be sacked immediately. i don't think somehow that is going to happen now . as you all know, in happen now. as you all know, in the run up to the last two presidential elections, the king of twitter , the global king of of twitter, the global king of twitter, was one donald j. trump. and you know , observers trump. and you know, observers of the process would wait for that first tweet of a day. it would often come at 530 in the morning and very often set the narrative , actually for the narrative, actually for the whole of the day. but given the way that twitter, facebook and the others treated him in 2020 and in particular the hunter biden laptop and not giving something that was true currency, trump said his own thing up with a group of businessmen called truth social, and he set it up in an unusual vehicle. well, that vehicle has gone public today on nasdaq . and

gone public today on nasdaq. and i think donald trump is going to be celebrating tonight. in fact, the money he's made on paper today dwarfs the fine that he had to pay yesterday. well, to explain all this, what it means, i'm very pleased to be joined by jason chairman and ceo jason trennert, chairman and ceo of strategies direct from new york. so nasdaq, what has happened on nasdaq, jason? and what is this vehicle that was set up to launch truth social ? set up to launch truth social? >> well, donald trump, as you know, as you pointed out , >> well, donald trump, as you know, as you pointed out, nigel was kicked off both twitter and facebook immediately following the 2020 election. in january 2021. and he set up, the, trump media and technology group. it was, there was a merger with digital world, which is a, which is a spac , and it finally got is a spac, and it finally got regulatory approval a couple of weeks ago, which allowed it to start trading on the nasdaq, this morning, the stock now is

currently worth, $10 billion. president trump's stake is worth about 60% of that. so about $6 billion that that makes his net worth about $9 billion. and to put it in to perspective of the new york times it's worth about $7 billion. so conceivably if he could use the stock as currency , could use the stock as currency, president trump could buy the new york times , which would be new york times, which would be quite an irony. >> well, that certainly would be, wouldn't it? what, i mean, l, be, wouldn't it? what, i mean, i, i got the impression, jason, and obviously, i know that x is enormous, and so is facebook and many of these giant companies, but i kind of had had the impression that truth social hadnt impression that truth social hadn't really taken off the stock market. figures tell a different story. >> well , different story. >> well, nigel, you're quite right though it i believe truth social only has about only about 5 million users currently in comparison with, with twitter,

which obviously has hundreds of millions, if not billion users. so there's a long way to go. the company is not yet profitable , company is not yet profitable, but it just got this infusion of cash, just became public. and so, it now has the wherewithal , so, it now has the wherewithal, the capital to become a real threat to other social media companies in my, in my view. threat to other social media companies in my, in my view . and companies in my, in my view. and so the trick will be turning it, you know, turning it into a real business. but they've got a tremendous head start with this capital infusion that they have. >> so with the valuation of 5.5 billion for donald trump today , billion for donald trump today, at what point if he chose to, could he start to realise some of those profits? >> well , he on of those profits? >> well, he on paper he would need to wait six months to get regulatory to get approval , regulatory to get approval, from, he would need to wait six months. otherwise he would need to get a waiver from , the board, to get a waiver from, the board, which, on his board includes his

son. it includes a number of members of his former administration. so it's not inconceivable that he could get a waiver, before six months. so we'll see. but it's a kind of amusing because i would say the liberal media here in the us last week was, was almost line dancing, with the prospect of him, having to give up one of his properties or not being able to make , one of these to make, one of these ridiculous, legal, legal settlements. and now here he is, he's back on the billionaire, on bloomberg's billionaire, 500 of the 500 wealthiest people in the united states , with, with, trump united states, with, with, trump truth, social going public, this morning, extraordinary , extraordinary. >> jason trennert, thank you very much indeed forjoining us live from new york. it all goes to show folks, a lot of people have lost a lot of money betting against donald trump. now we debated earlier, you know, the fact that many people , many fact that many people, many jewish people in britain feel

they've been discriminated against. was rather backed up against. it was rather backed up by the behaviour, think, of by the behaviour, i think, of border at manchester border force at manchester airport. and british foreign policy shifted. have we policy has shifted. have we betrayed israel? what? i'm joined by the co—founder of the muslim debate initiative, abdullah al—andalusi, who's back on the program. do you understand why jewish people in this country are beginning to feel threatened and very uncomfortable ? uncomfortable? >> well, i can't speak to people's internal mental states , people's internal mental states, but what i've many jewish people have told me , that there's have told me, that there's a there's a propaganda that's inched there's a propaganda that's incited by israel that jews should not feel safe in the presence of people, merely calling for the rights of palestinians, that somehow the rights of palestinians are inimicable to jewish nationhood. which is not true, isn't it? and this is no, it's not, of course, what the rights of palestinians is . is. >> okay, let's just get to the bottom of this. you know, bottom of this. so, you know, would recognise us? would would you recognise us? would you recognise that? and we can argue about borders, but

argue about the borders, but would recognise that the would you recognise that the state israel should exist, state of israel should exist, no. right to no. states have a right to exist. have a to exist. people have a right to exist. people have a right to exist . states are imagination, exist. states are imagination, are we imagine in our are things we imagine in our minds are mental constructs. they don't have physical they don't have a physical reality. well, normally they humans, have a physical humans, humans have a physical reality in ranges. >> . we're an reality in ranges. >> .we're an island. >> they have. we're an island. so very often geographies are part of too. part of this too. >> you're talking about the earth's right? and the earth's crust, right? and the earth's crust, right? and the earth's exists indeed. earth's crust exists indeed. and lands exist, people exist lands exist, but people exist physically, have physically, and people have a right to exist, whether they're jewish, muslim, christian, palestinian , arab, or whomever. palestinian, arab, or whomever. and this is all and that is what this is all about. it's about the palestinians to exist. palestinians right to exist. israel with dignity and israel exists with dignity and equal rights. >> israel exists as a state. doesit >> israel exists as a state. does it have a right to exist ? does it have a right to exist? >> as said before, no state >> as i said before, no state has a right exist . only has a right to exist. only people a right to exist. people have a right to exist. >> that's not really an answer, is no it an answer is it? no it is an answer because that it was a state, because that if it was a state, it falls within the substate of states the right. states from the right. >> i'm saying that nation >> if i'm saying that nation states don't have right to states don't have a right to exist, people have a right to exist. i agree with that. exist. i don't agree with that. >> all. people form together

>> at all. people form together in jewish in nation states. the jewish people together in in nation states. the jewish pe0|i e together in in nation states. the jewish pe0|i understand together in in nation states. the jewish pe0|i understand complex|er in in nation states. the jewish pe0|i understand complex history and i understand complex history over 2000 years and all the rest. and the point is this abdullah, from abdullah, that, you know, from the to the sea that was the river to the sea that was put up on the elizabeth tower that's chanted on marches that's been chanted on marches weekend after weekend. the weekend after weekend. even the kindest interpretation of that is that it is about the abolition of the current state of israel. >> well, look, we were all about the abolition of the of the state of south africa as an apartheid state, changing it into a, an inclusive state, which it is. so now it is. yeah. but before margaret thatcher and the tories were all against, against that. so if you're saying to me that should we be against the israel as it's currently formed as an ethno nationalist state privileging one ethnic group, one group of semites other semites , then semites over other semites, then i think this should this should change in the land change all semites in the land of palestine, be they palestinian or jews , palestinian arabs or jews, should, at the very minimum have an dignity , equal an equal dignity, equal tolerance, equal rights and equal freedom to go about the likud party. why don't you

condemn the likud party? who's there? one of their there? they're one of their their formal statements and on their formal statements and on their manifesto is from the from their manifesto is from the from the jordan river the sea. it the jordan river to the sea. it will only be israeli sovereignty. so is that sovereignty. right. so is that genocidal then? or no one talks about that? no no no no. look, i would love to see a two state solution and a compromise. >> problem with this is >> but my problem with this is my problem with this is and we had, ralphie bloom on had, you know, ralphie bloom on from manchester. know you from manchester. and i know you were here bit were delayed getting here a bit earlier, of the earlier, saying that many of the other that are being other things that are being chanted the streets, mean, chanted in the streets, i mean, are death to the jews. are basically death to the jews. do understand why the jewish do you understand why the jewish community are concerned? >> well, you'd like to show >> well, if you'd like to show me footage of anyone me video footage of anyone chanting anything that is a racist, a genocidal, and so on if exists. but guess what? if it exists. but guess what? i have it.i if it exists. but guess what? i have it. i have looked have not seen it. i have looked at footages. i've even at all the footages. i've even looked gb news footage and so looked at gb news footage and so on.and looked at gb news footage and so on. and you never see anyone, even you don't show anyone even you guys don't show anyone citing or genocidal citing racist or genocidal statements, i think. i think you're that free you're saying that free palestine a genocidal statement. >> i think i think the >> i think the i think the guder >> i think the i think the glider on the back of the glider images on the back of the anoraks were pretty unpleasant,

don't anoraks were pretty unpleasant, dorwell, for for one >> well, for one, for one individual, the glider image. yeah. police, the police yeah. and the police, the police deau yeah. and the police, the police dealt those, those dealt with those, those two individuals hundreds of individuals out of hundreds of thousands of individuals. right. are going to judge are you really going to judge a whole bunch of hundreds of thousands of people by 1 or 2 individuals, which the police deau individuals, which the police dealt with? >> we have a lot of >> we have showed a lot of footage time of chanting in footage over time of chanting in the streets of many other things that normally would not be deemed acceptable . where deemed to be acceptable. where does end, your does all this end, in your opinion? >> i'm saying is >> well, firstly, i'm saying is free palestine saying free palestine statement that you'd palestine a statement that you'd condemn, free palestine condemn, not just free palestine on its own? >> no. it's everything. it's things go around that. like what? >> the abolition of apartheid, of treating palestinians as second citizens. so of second class citizens. so of no classes , administrative classes, administrative tensions, the fact that deny them rights, the that them their rights, the fact that from the to river the sea has some deep connotations some quite deep connotations when it's put in a pro—palestinian context. >> yeah, freedom everybody. pro—palestinian context. >> but1, freedom everybody. pro—palestinian context. >> but1, freedwrong everybody. pro—palestinian context. >> but1, freedwrong with ybody. pro—palestinian context. >> but1, freedwrong with that?. >> but what's wrong with that? >> but what's wrong with that? >> nations last night >> the united nations last night passed resolution on passed a resolution calling on a ceasefire and i'm not condemning it because it did very explicitly say in the resolution that the hostages should be

released. do you think there's any possibility of negotiations with netanyahu ? with netanyahu? >> well, that remains to be seen because his rather hard, right stance of denying the palestinians any , any state for palestinians any, any state for themselves, denying them even a one state solution will just give them equal rights in the first place, because they'd say that would make a 51% palestinian majority state. and they don't want that because of their nationalist, racist their ethno nationalist, racist policies, means that it's policies, this means that it's very to, to have any policies, this means that it's very with to, to have any policies, this means that it's very with netanyahu.ve any policies, this means that it's very with netanyahu. all|ny policies, this means that it's very with netanyahu. all we can hope with netanyahu. all we can hope with netanyahu. all we can hope that the, the, the hope for is that the, the, the international community and many international community and many in israeli public themselves in the israeli public themselves pressure the government to bring to negotiating means to free to the negotiating means to free the jewish hostages that are held by hamas and to free the 3558 palestinian hostages held by the israeli government under the israeli administrative detention, whether the israeli is a racist or whether they're just battling for self survival, surrounded by people and, you

know, too far away, iran and know, not too far away, iran and others that want destroy them others that want to destroy them remains be seen. remains to be seen. >> not saying israeli is. >> i'm not saying israeli is. >> i'm not saying israeli is. >> rallies in general are racist. i'm saying that the israeli has has very israeli government has has very publicly avowed policies publicly avowed racist policies about wanting to maintain a jewish majority . see if that jewish majority. see if that that entails, denying palestinians equal citizenship in the territories that israel claims are theirs. if you have people living in your territory and you say it's theirs, it belongs to you yourself, give them equal citizenship, then they don't. them equal citizenship, then thei don't. them equal citizenship, then thei understand boundary >> i understand the boundary issue. that , abdullah, the issue. i get that, abdullah, the only thing that your conversation with proves and conversation with me proves and equally conversation we had equally the conversation we had earlier, no end earlier, is that there's no end to coming any time soon, to this coming any time soon, i'm afraid. in a moment, a change of tack. we're going to tell you what's been happening in engush tell you what's been happening in english today and in the english channel today and what means for year on year what it means for year on year figures, and we wonder why the home secretary, james cleverly, figures, and we wonder why the hongone:retary, james cleverly, figures, and we wonder why the hongone so:ary, james cleverly, figures, and we wonder why the hongone so quiet.mes cleverly,

on the 27th of december, 2023, the home secretary, james cleverly , put out on social cleverly, put out on social media. there are no small boat arrivals over christmas. for the first time since they started in 2018. last night, our border force officers and their french partners worked together to stop a boat launching on the beaches. they played a crucial role in cutting crossings by 35. i went absolutely potty with those comments because it was blowing a gale 4050 mile an hour winds every day over the christmas period, and in fact, he was community noted on twitter , who community noted on twitter, who said this winter is unusually stormy . but said this winter is unusually stormy. but his ambitions knew no limits because on lbc radio in january of this year, cleverly said my target is to bnng cleverly said my target is to bring it down to zero. i'm completely committed. my target is to reduce it to zero to stop the boats. i'm unambiguous about that. i wonder how he's getting

on. come in. james cleverly. you seem to have gone very, very quiet. well, mark white, gb news home security editor , can tell home security editor, can tell me, mark, how well is the cleverly plan going ? cleverly plan going? >> well, nigel, i think what we're seeing today again in the channel we're seeing today again in the channel, when six boats came across with more than 300 of these migrants making that illegal journey, and indeed, for the year so far, it has got to lay to rest the persistent claims from james cleverly, the prime minister, and others that the government stopped the boats policy has led to this reduction of 36% last year. it's true we had a reduction of 36% last yeah had a reduction of 36% last year, but you and i and others that know the english channel very well, said that that was down to the weather conditions. persistently poor weather throughout large parts of the year last year. that meant that actually trying to cross the engush actually trying to cross the english channel was very

difficult indeed. and what have we seen this year? well, on the days when the weather has improved enough, then the criminal gangs are pushing out these boats in significant numbers. we've had record numbers. we've had record numbers coming across now for the year so far, including today's figures. we're up over 4600. that's a thousand more than this period last year , 25% than this period last year, 25% more. in fact , have crossed this more. in fact, have crossed this year than at the same point last yeah year than at the same point last year. so i think it makes it really difficult now for the government to continue claiming that it government to continue claiming thatitis government to continue claiming that it is a small boats policy that's stopping these small boats from coming across, because why would we be seeing it every time the weather improves ? more boats on the way? improves? more boats on the way? >> absolutely. mark white, beautifully put. thank you very much indeed. let's hear no more of this nonsense. we've approached james cleverly for comment, i'm afraid he has nothing to say to us. we asked

the home office on this, and a home office spokesperson said the unacceptable number of people who continue to cross the channel demonstrates exactly why i bothered with it. i can't be bothered with it. it's an absolute waste time. it's an absolute waste of time. now move because now let's move on because it's utterly and completely pointless. us same pointless. they give us the same drivel time . now we drivel every single time. now we had the resignation of the minister , james heappey the minister, james heappey the other resigned as armed other day. he resigned as armed forces minister. adam cherry gb news reporter. another quite well—known conservative minister goes today. >> that's right. yeah. back to back resignations. we've had an emergency reshuffle in the emergency mini reshuffle in the last 90 minutes, nigel. so. oh yeah, we've had we've had six people join the government. so first of all, let's talk about rob james so rob halfon and james heappey. so we've resign as we've had rob halfon resign as the apprenticeships and the skills apprenticeships and higher minister. and the skills apprenticeships and higyou minister. and the skills apprenticeships and higyou say minister. and the skills apprenticeships and higyou say james�*ninister. and the skills apprenticeships and higyou say james heappeyand the skills apprenticeships and higyou say james heappey leaving as you say james heappey leaving is the armed forces minister. he's been in post for about four years. so he was a he'd been a continuity in this government at a time of such great change over the last couple of years, even as labour said today in the house of commons, he had already

signalled, as you said, that he was going to stand down at the next election, and, and so we were expecting that at some point we didn't necessarily know it was going to be today, but nonetheless, has happened. nonetheless, it has happened. and fonds resignation is the and how fonds resignation is the one. that's the from the one. that's the bolt from the blue, completely out of nowhere. >> resigning, not standing up >> so resigning, not standing up the not standing the next election, not standing at election. at the next election. >> resigning effective >> yeah. resigning effective immediately. we now have immediately. and so we now have 63 conservative tory, conservative who have now conservative mps who have now publicly announced they're standing down the highest number that have stood down in a single turn is 75, which is just before the labour landslide in 1997. yeah. and you can see some parallels already. the truth is, i think by the time we get to the election this time we're going to have a number that completely blows it out of the water way more than they just don't to embarrass don't want to embarrass the government at government by resigning all at the right? in theory, government by resigning all at thethinks right? in theory, government by resigning all at thethinks quite right? in theory, government by resigning all at thethinks quite why t? in theory, government by resigning all at thethinks quite why they theory, government by resigning all at thethinks quite why they both y, he thinks quite why they both resigned on same day doesn't resigned on the same day doesn't quite with that. but there quite align with that. but there we are. so mr halfon said he standing down. he quoted gandalf in resignation speech in the

in his resignation speech in the lord of the rings. my time is oven lord of the rings. my time is over. it is no longer my task to set things to right, set things to rights, nor to help folk to do so. so this is not a case of trying to one's rishi trying to stick one's rishi sunak. it'sjust trying to stick one's rishi sunak. it's just trying to figure is going to figure out what is going to do once he's out job. quite once he's out of a job. quite right so right in november. yeah. so we've had, i said, we've had we've had, as i said, we've had some new members the some new members join the government, including jonathan gullace joining us, the deputy party kevin party chairman, alan mac, kevin hollinrake niyak ghorbani luke hall rob helfand as the hall replaces rob helfand as the education minister and leo docherty becomes a new armed forces minister. so new roster, our friend leo docherty , the mp our friend leo docherty, the mp who wouldn't speak to us, we visited his constituency. >> well, there you are now. the what? the farage moment today. oh dear. and oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. and this dear, oh dear the this comes. oh dear, oh dear the nhs suffolk and north east essex integrated care board and its spokesman doctor andrew kelso, is warning us about the easter holidays . oh yes, he said. the holidays. oh yes, he said. the average easter egg contains around three quarters of an adult's recommended daily

calorie intake. i urge people to enjoy their easter eggs in moderation and resist the urge to eat a whole egg in one go. i am sick to death of this nannying state. give me an easter egg. i've had enough. >> i've come prepared. >> i've come prepared. >> here we go with it. i'm sick to death being told we can't to death of being told we can't do this. we can't do that. you know it's easter, for goodness sake. why just enjoy . sake. why don't we just enjoy. very good. i'm sorry, doctor kelso, but you really bore the pants off me. i'm not in the least bit interested in your health advice. it's easter. i don't eat chocolate every day. but i'm going to scoff all of this between now and the break, when come to once when we come back to talk once again slavery. again about slavery. >> earlier on breakfast, huge bndge >> earlier on breakfast, huge bridge in baltimore that has collapsed after being hit by a ship. >> at least one vehicle has

fallen into the water. this is an ongoing situation. >> three years ago, many of us said the house of lords committee said the intelligence and security committee said that we had to regard china as a threat . threat. >> we do take measured responses, but we do take responses, but we do take response and of course we will always be vigilant and always look to what we need to do. national security is the most important thing. >> whatever the semantics of it, you've your national you've got to put your national security first. you've got to put your national securitynot;t. you've got to put your national securitynot about semantics. >> it's not about semantics. jonathan's about money, isn't it? you can't afford to tell them off. >> and she became all of a sudden, after a year and a half, this victim, this, you know, she was victim of trafficking. i'd was a victim of trafficking. i'd never heard from first never heard that from first yeah never heard that from first year. and her singing the year. me and her singing in the rain . rain. >> just singing in the rain from six. >> it's breakfast on gb

>> monday marked the 217th

anniversary of the passing of the anti—slavery legislation in this country. that was the day 217 years ago, that it got the royal assent. and of course, it was william wilberforce who'd campaigned from that ever since. 1780 wasn't just him, but he was the leading man. and yet somehow this debate just never, ever goes away. and overnight we get yet another report and poll, this time from the repair campaign and this suggests that 6 in 10 say that descendants of enslaved people are owed a formal apology , and a smaller formal apology, and a smaller number think some form of financial recompense is due. well, today we sent gb news reporter anna riley to the wilberforce monument in hull to ask passers by if they supported the idea of an apology. >> should caribbean nations and descendants of enslaved people receive a formal apology? >> yes, i think i think they should. yes, it was terrible, terrible time. and thank goodness slavery is over . well,

goodness slavery is over. well, i think you should come from our government on behalf of us. of course, of course. coui'se, of course. >> course, of course. >> to be honest, i wouldn't make a big deal of it. i think, quite honestly, a lot of fuss is made about it for countries that really now need to get their own act together for something that happened centuries ago. >> i just don't know whether the money's there today, to be honest with you. but something has to be done. i believe that what's happening today in in uk, and how people of colour are treated makes me absolutely angry and furious that things aren't improving. >> well, i believe that the slavery has always been around thousands and thousands of years and it is. hey, even we were slaves at one time. i mean, the irish used to take us as slaves , irish used to take us as slaves, you know, for about 500 years. so it's happened to all of them. so it's happened to all of them. so i don't think they should stand out everybody else . stand out from everybody else. >> well, a range of opinions then. now this is going to be an in—house it in—house gb news debate. it certainly because albie certainly is, because albie amankona , host of the saturday

amankona, host of the saturday five and co—founder of conservatives against racism, joins as does gb joins me, as does gb news presenter nana akua. now here we are. you see, we don't all think the same at gb news you think to read some newspaper reports? we're all clones somehow. so let's kick this off. alby should we give an apology for slavery? >> well, look , i think we've >> well, look, i think we've heard a range of opinions there in the interviews that we have just seen. and it very much reflects some of the research that has been conducted in the polling that we've seen, where 6 in 10 britons support a formal apology from the british government or the british state to people . now, i don't to enslaved people. now, i don't want people to think of all black people as descendants of slaves. i am from my family. i'm from ghana , i believe nana's from ghana, i believe nana's family from ghana as well. we've got as much to do with slavery as nigel. so not all as you do nigel. so not all people of african descent descent been impacted by descent have been impacted by slavery. nonetheless i do think these sorts of gestures are important point, and i think it

can help build a sense of britishness in a part of the population which might not have always felt welcome in this country. >> let me tell you something that very few know . i'm that very few people know. i'm a nutcase historian, so i sort of know these very odd things because already because we folks, we've already apologised. did so absolutely apologised. we did so absolutely formally. it happened in 1840. prince albert on behalf of himself and queen victoria, gave a speech and actually a very important speech and a very progressive speech for 1840. and he gave it to the society for the extinction of the slave trade. albert said, i sincerely trust that this great country will not relax in its efforts until it is finally and forever put an end to a state of things so repugnant to the spirit of christianity and the best feelings of our nature. and that's really my point, albie, is you can't go on apologising again and again, because if you apologise again, it suggests that the first apology wasn't

sincere. do you see what i mean? i completely see what you mean. >> but i think there is quite a big difference between saying apologise again and again and apologising twice. and i think that one of the things that we could do in this apology is actually talk about the fact that the britain played a key role in ending the slave trade, that there was this apology. and that's important from prince albert that is i albert in 1840. that is very i think of things can be think all of those things can be restated the modern age, restated for the modern age, nigel, and then can finally nigel, and then we can finally put issue. i accept once put this issue. i accept once and for all. >> i accept 1840 quite a >> i accept 1840 was quite a long time ago. whether our next presenter that. ask presenter thinks that. we'll ask him in a moment. nana. i mean, you i would think you sometimes i would think with this was uniquely this debate that it was uniquely the british that invented slavery and barbarism , when, as slavery and barbarism, when, as one of the chaps from hull said, this has been going on rather a long time. >> well, there's literally no race or peoples who have not been enslaved at some point by someone. actually, if you go really far back to things like 1500 all that, you 1500 bc and all that, you actually find that slave

actually find that the slave there was slavery in central and northern africa. and if you go slightly further back, the egyptians of slaves as egyptians had lots of slaves as well . so i egyptians had lots of slaves as well. so i don't egyptians had lots of slaves as well . so i don't see why well. so i don't see why someone, somewhere should be apologising for something they literally do literally have nothing to do with at and i'm sick and with at all. and i'm sick and tired of it, actually. why should anybody be apologising to anybody? actually was the anybody? and actually it was the africans. have a slave africans. they have a slave trade. have a slave trade. they still have a slave trade. they still have a slave trade and if these people trade now, and if these people who say things like these virtue signalling people say, oh, signalling people who say, oh, we another we want we want another apology, we want another apology, well, okay, lay down your iphone, lay down the cheap clothes that you're wearing now because a lot of them are created by modern day slavery. and start dealing with the slavery happening the slavery that's happening now. i'm sick and tired. now. i just i'm sick and tired. >> i know, asking these >> i know, asking for these apologies, but you make that apologies, but if you make that point, know that it was point, you know that it was africans that actually sold the slaves. did. yes, slaves. well they did. yes, i know everyone goes potty when you one of the problems you say it. one of the problems with is if we do with this, albie, is if we do repeat the apology, then the next for reparations. next demand is for reparations. it's ending. this it's almost never ending. this isn't it's almost never ending. this isn'i take that point. i'm very >> i take that point. i'm very staunchly against reparations ,

staunchly against reparations, and think it would be and i just think it would be totally impractical and unfeasible to be paying reparations to anyone. first of all, do you pay it to and reparations to anyone. first of all, on do you pay it to and reparations to anyone. first of all, on earthou pay it to and reparations to anyone. first of all, on earth do pay it to and reparations to anyone. first of all, on earth do youit to and reparations to anyone. first of all, on earth do you calculate how on earth do you calculate that sum money? i think that sum of money? i think i think there's a very i think there's a very big difference. nana and nigel, between simply saying, for this act saying, i am sorry for this act that the past and that happened in the past and saying, to pay saying, i'm going to pay billions or trillions of pounds to people who have got nothing , to people who have got nothing, absolutely nothing to do with the slave trade. >> i'll be the very point >> but i'll be the very point you've made with to you've made with regard to reparations. you don't know who who who who should be paying who. who are well, are you apologising to? well, who apologising to ? me? who are you apologising to? me? is you? who? who are you apologising to? me? is no,j? who? who are you apologising to? me? is no, i’ who? who are you apologising to? me? is no, i have? who are you apologising to? me? is no, i have already made the >> no, i have already made the point it wouldn't. it point that it wouldn't. it wouldn't be to us. because we're not. descendants of not. we're not descendants of slaves. but it would be to apologise because apologise then, because our ancestors apologise then, because our athinkyrs apologise then, because our athinkyr�*think is i think i think that is a conversation that should be had more well, that's more broadly. well, that's right. i restate point right. but i restate my point that think an apology would be that i think an apology would be a good to the a good gesture to the descendants of enslaved people around and that around the world, and also that it important to talk it would be important to talk about britain's role in the end of the slave trade. in that

apology. >> but in this review, it's mostly, they said, the majority of people who of africans, a lot of people who they agreed. the africans they asked, agreed. the africans agreed there should an agreed that there should be an apology. well, perhaps they need to and look history. to go back and look at history. i think a lot of the people i think that a lot of the people in this country have been educated with the educated very badly with the history, went to history, because when i went to school, they with school, they started with the transatlantic and transatlantic slave trade, and there mention of any there was no mention of any other before that. other slave trade before that. i think people are very ill educated as to what happened. >> most important thing, >> and the most important thing, and fair, abbey did and to be fair, abbey did mention incredible mention it is the incredible work royal naval work of the royal naval squadron, who for nearly 40 years to slavery off years tried to drive slavery off the seas. thank you folks the high seas. thank you folks for coming in. i was just pointing out this, this 1840, this incredible apology that prince albert made. >> remarkable >> it's very remarkable because he's only just married. queen victoria. that point victoria. yeah. he at that point hardly any english. he hardly speaks any english. he makes this speech in front of robert peel, other robert peel, various other luminaries of british society. it's pressure him. it's incredible pressure on him. and makes this phenomenal and he makes this phenomenal speech saying wrong speech saying how wrong and unchristian slavery is and was. and i think that shows where britain has been and where the royal family has been for a very

long period. >> yeah. and i agree. totally. so, jacob, what's coming up tonight? >> well, policy exchange has come out with an amazing report that says if we're to be carbon neutral in the grid 2030, neutral in the grid by 2030, it's going to cost £115 billion. that's the labour party's proposal . it's not much better proposal. it's not much better with the tory proposal to do it by 2035. it's a little bit cheapen by 2035. it's a little bit cheaper, but not much. and this is the insanity of decarbonisation . we don't have decarbonisation. we don't have the money for it. we don't have the money for it. we don't have the money for it. we don't have the money to get defence expenditure up to a proper level. where is this coming from? how much higher will our electricity if we're electricity prices get if we're going follow this crackpot going to follow this crackpot policy? what going to policy? that's what i'm going to be with. be starting with. >> and again, of >> yeah. and once again, of course folks, guess who this really the worst. those really impacts the worst. those on the incomes, those on on the lowest incomes, those on fixed incomes, the poorer in society are having a very, very tough time. let's have a look at the weather. maybe aidan mcgivern can cheer us up a little bit . little bit. >> looks like things are heating up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news.

>> hi there, time to look at the met office forecast for gb news rain and snow across northern parts of the uk during the next 24 hours. showers moving in elsewhere, although interspersed by at least some brighter interludes. low pressure still well and truly in charge that low mainly sitting towards the south—west of the uk , and it is south—west of the uk, and it is sending a band of rain north dunng sending a band of rain north during the evening into northern ireland, where some wet weather could cause issues. rain warning in as well as central and in force, as well as central and northern england, wales northern england, parts of wales and then that rain and then eventually that rain moves scotland, where it moves into scotland, where it mixes with cold air to give some snow above 2300m. the far north stays dry but chilly, and further south some clear spells , further south some clear spells, although the next area of rain moves in by dawn to affect southwest england, wales, northern ireland as well. heavy downpours , gusty winds and then downpours, gusty winds and then that rain. well, it tends to turn to showers as it moves into central uk by the afternoon. further showers arrive later

gb news. >> hello. good evening. it's me, jacob rees—mogg on state of the nation. tonight, labour's net zero plans have been costed by

the right wing think tank policy exchange, and its plans to decarbonise the grid by 2030 could cost you a whopping £116 billion. and this is why they want to move you on to smart metres to make you pay more. new damning revelations about the clapham chemical attacker and asylum seeker abdul ezedi have come to light. the supposed christian convert needed a chaperone in church as he wasn't deemed to be safe enough to be left alone following his conviction for sexual assault. so why did the church vouch for his asylum application? the outdated funding model of the pubuc outdated funding model of the public service broadcaster, the eu loving bbc, is set to consider a wealth tax to pay for its increasingly biased programming . but when will the programming. but when will the bbc get to grips with the free market and face the consequences of its decisions? i will be breaking my silence on the garrick club membership row, as four more old women resign from the men only members club . but the men only members club. but if you're concerned about this tradition of men only membership , why not for left wing
