about young people and gender issues. about young people and gender issuewe have to exercise caution said we have to exercise caution when to people when talking to young people about gender issues because they're susceptible. of they're very susceptible. of course and here we course they are. and here we are. we have scotland, are. here we have scotland, which gender which seems obsessed by gender issues, asking issues, i might add, asking kids as four, crazy. as young as four, it's crazy. >> and is all coming >> and this is all coming through in a charity called lgbt youth scotland. and just if you are in scotland watching or listening of course you'll be pleased sure that pleased to know, i'm sure that your hard earned taxes go to fund organisation £1 fund this organisation £1 million. so the charity says million. and so the charity says that head teachers should install gender neutral toilets to mark and also to mark transgender day of remembrance for four year olds. >> this the gender neutral toilets there was a big story in scotland last year where teenage girls would not use the trans toilets because boys were coming in and taking the mickey out of them when they were on their penods them when they were on their periods , going into their periods, going into their sanitary messing around. sanitary bins, messing around. so were not going to the so girls were not going to the toilet at school during the day because this. know , because of this. and you know, most parents say they want most parents would say they want to separate toilets for the

to have separate toilets for the kids. can't you just have kids. why can't you just have one for transgender people? >> of course, all this was >> and of course, all this was a big factor in the demise of nicola sturgeon. of course, because of the trans. and also don't scotland has don't forget, scotland has brought new hate crime brought in that new hate crime law has already about law which has already had about 12. it 15 or is it 20,000 now? >> people have complained already. >> well, it's mostly about humza yousaf, isn't it? >> the first one now has the world gone mad? >> the first one now has the worlet's ne mad? >> the first one now has the worlet's talk|ad? >> the first one now has the worlet's talk to ? >> the first one now has the worlet's talk to the co—director >> let's talk to the co—director of the women's scotland, susan smith and news smith and gb news senior political commentator, nigel nelson. morning to nelson. susan, good morning to you both. susan, to you first, carol and i are , not easily carol and i are, not easily shocked, but this, frankly, is shocking . these kids are far too shocking. these kids are far too young to be exposed to this sort of, claptrap . of, claptrap. >> well, frankly, lgbt scotland should be nowhere near any schools, but the fact that they're in primary schools is especially shocking. they are not even this is not even in their remit. so when they go out and look for funds, they are looking for , they their stated looking for, they their stated aim is to deal with children in

the age range of 13 to 25. so children and young adults, but they don't even claim to have any expertise in primary schools. and yet here they are trying to extend their reach, going into primary schools, grabbing them while they're young , much grabbing them while they're young, much like the grabbing them while they're young , much like the jesuits young, much like the jesuits used to. and trying to trying to indoctrinate them with this, this , frankly, this new secular religion. >> and, susan, you know , the >> and, susan, you know, the scottish government have already been warned about the promotion of ideology in the classroom, and yet they're choosing to ignore that. what can be done about that? anything >> well, i think parents, need to get in contact with their schools, especially if they see that they're going for an lgbt youth charter scheme , and, and youth charter scheme, and, and demand to know what they're doing and demand answers. we have information on our website about the toilet issue, because we have an opinion from a

leading qc kc that says that this is not legal. this is this is contributing to the harassment of girls, as you said, in schools and, this should not be happening. >> it's funny because i was just talking to piers before the show started that it is to illegal actually do this under the equality act. so they're breaking the law as well. you know, it's frightening, isn't it, because young children are very susceptible and there's a lot pressure around now lot of peer pressure around now around the trans issue. so a child who may or may not be trans or gay or lesbian may they feel they have to become one of those things to fit in. >> yes. and all these schools under the lgbt youth scotland scheme have these clubs, these rainbow clubs, and it's obviously even more appealing to young children, terribly glittery , terribly exciting. glittery, terribly exciting. come and be allies. come and come and express yourself and so they're going along to fight for a sense of belonging . and then

a sense of belonging. and then they're coming out with these brand new identities and of course, as we know now, cas has said that this is social. transitioning is not a neutral act. so they are getting ever younger children to do this in defiance of cas. the scottish government is busy ignoring the findings of the cas review . now findings of the cas review. now they're allowing this from one of their own organisations because the scottish government, as you say, fund this organisation and you know there's going to be a generation of children , frankly, at some of children, frankly, at some point, who are going to need redress and is that going to come from the government or are you? >> susan, thanks. you? >> susan,thanks.lefs you? >> susan, thanks. let's bring nigel nelson into the conversation. nigel. do you think this is a reasonable way to approach four year old children? >> yes. provided that the initiative is age appropriate . initiative is age appropriate. so obviously it depends how it works. now, if we're talking about a words like indoctrination or encouraging them to be gay or trans, that

would be wrong. the idea of actually normalising sexuality from a young age, i would have would have thought is a positive thing because bear in mind, an awful lot of children nowadays will have two dads or two mums, so their experience of all this at home. so no harm then in in making it a normal part of growing up at school . growing up at school. >> but nigel, how can you ask a four year to old articulate whether they are gay, straight or transgender? how on earth could you can you do that ? could you can you do that? >> well, that i don't think you can, but this is what they're going to do. >> but this is what they're going to do. nigel. >> are they are they. >> are they are they. >> yes they are, yes. >> yes they are, yes. >> the four year olds. and saying to them, are you gay? are you lesbian? are you trans? >> and they're going to have it and they're going to have an lgbt champion aged about 7 or 8 by shoulder. lgbt champion aged about 7 or 8 by that'sioulder. lgbt champion aged about 7 or 8 by that's my der. lgbt champion aged about 7 or 8 by that's my point about >> that's my point about normalising, normalising

normalising, about normalising things. lgbt things. the idea of an lgbt champion again , seems to me champion again, seems to me fine. it's a question of making the whole thing normal, but what would be wrong would to be encourage it, to indoctrinate those are things that should not happen. but until we actually see how this initiative is actually working , we have to go actually working, we have to go from there. and i think susan is right, that it's that parents ought to have a hand in this and make sure that what is happening to their children appropriate to their children is appropriate for group . for that age group. >> but nigel, last week, hilary acas said clearly in her report that social transitioning, which is what this is all about, could change the trajectory of a child's sexuality. they may feel that they should be doing it because they're their schoolmates are because it's exciting , because it's new. so exciting, because it's new. so thatis exciting, because it's new. so that is social transition of an ideology. it's crazy. >> well, hang on. but but that, that, that that suggesting that children are being encouraged then to be, to be being gay or

trans or whatever . what i'm trans or whatever. what i'm saying is that would be wrong. you don't encourage children to do that. what you're doing is you're normalising the whole thing. what you talk about, about having a gender neutral lavatories in schools now provide that they are proper unisex lavatories, self—contained cubicles with their own washing and drying facilities . that would be facilities. that would be natural. >> they haven't worked in some, they haven't worked in some. >> well, let's get let's get susan back in there. what is the point of gender neutral loos for 4 or 5 and six year olds , i 4 or 5 and six year olds, i would say probably for younger children, do have gender children, they do have gender neutral loos. so to be fair. but after the age of about 8 or 9, they have to be separate . and they have to be separate. and one thing i would say about lgbt youth scotland is we know what they are saying to secondary school pupils and we have got on our website, a transcript of training that they delivered at

a secondary school in scotland. and it is appalling. it's encouraging teachers to transition children behind their backs. it's talking about children of parents not telling them. >> yeah , give me susan. >> yeah, give me susan. >> yeah, give me susan. >> do you mean behind the backs of parents? >> yes. >> yes. >> sorry. yeah. and it's saying that children will kill themselves if they're not allowed to, you know, with a jaunty picture of a noose , so jaunty picture of a noose, so we know the training they're know that the training they're delivering to secondary schools is not appropriate and it's not legal, so that is my big concern. i don't think what they will be doing in primary schools will be doing in primary schools will be doing in primary schools will be any more appropriate, because they are not delivering appropriate education to secondary schools as is , but secondary schools as it is, but yes, the toilet issue, as i say , yes, the toilet issue, as i say, we have an we have an opinion from a kc about what has been happening in the schools in scotland where that has been put in. they are not proper gender neutral loos with their own drying facilities. they actually have a communal corridor in the

middle with, washing. >> well, let's give nigel the last word here, because we're under pressure time. now, just very briefly. do you still think it's appropriate to be having lgbt clubs and societies and organisations in for children as young as four, five and six? >> yes. provided you make sure it is age appropriate for it. is group but it isn't. do we know. hang on we don't we don't know, andrew. we don't actually know that. we don't know exactly how teachers are doing this. and that's my point. >> to read and write , >> them to read and write, nigel, teach them to read and write do their rithmetic the write and do their rithmetic the three r's. stop all this psychobabble. well yeah, i'd do that as well. >> that children are there to be educated but normalising educated covid. but normalising indoctrinated though, that's the difference. i'm sorry carol, i missed that. >> not indoctrinated. educated. yes. indoctrinated no. >> absolutely right. indoctrination may be wrong . indoctrination may be wrong. encouragement would be wrong. explaining would be right. >> all right. always good to talk to you both. that's susan

smith who's co—director of for women scotland. and nigel, nelson. >> nigel nelson, who you've known i was going to call him nigel evans, the deputy speaker. >> nigel nelson, who is, of course, senior political commentator here for abc , a commentator here for abc, a scottish government spokesman released statement. we're released this statement. we're committed everything we committed to doing everything we can make scotland best can to make scotland the best place up for lgbtq+ place to grow up for lgbtq+ young people. >> that up. this >> you messed that up. this includes putting lgbt youth scotland deliver a range of projects such as the lgbt charter programme lgbt scotland are yet to comment on this story themselves. >> up next rwanda guess what? those members of the house of lords, the unelected ones, they're the ones they've delayed they're the ones they've delayed the rwanda policy. again, we're going to be talking to lord marland, conservative peer,

well, no surprise those unelected members of the house of lords are scuppered.

rishi rishi sunak rwanda bill yet again. two more defeats inflicted last night. the bill will come back to the commons next week. is it ever going to be resolved? fourth time in it, but least joining us now is but at least joining us now is the peer lord marland, who the tory peer lord marland, who was last night. lord was there last night. lord marland, and marland, morning to you and unelected andrew and on the lectern. >> oh, he said it. yes he did. >> oh, he said it. yes he did. >> actually, i did think there was an irony. jonathan, i can call by your first name, of call you by your first name, of course, that the unelected house of said that rwanda of lords said that rwanda doesn't tradition of doesn't have a long tradition of democracy, the house of democracy, nor does the house of lords . lords. >> what a lovely way to start thursday, andrew, how frustrating is it to be in the lords when this is the elected will of the commons? it is in the tory government manifesto to try and kerb illegal migration. they've chosen the rwanda scheme to do it. and yet your, your colleagues labour colleagues on the labour and liberal democrat benches keep voting down. voting this down. >> course, the >> and of course, the crossbenchers . yeah. well of crossbenchers. yeah. well of course it's you know, there are actually quite a lot of loose ends to this bill. i i'm on the

international treaties committee. so we look at the bill and go through it, and we've found quite a few loose ends, which i completely agree with obviously, because we we've done some very detailed research on it and what happens in the lords, of course, is, you know, andrew and carol that we do scrutinise legislation and, and, the commons, don't they come up with some brilliant idea and they don't scrutinise it. so this is part of the process of scrutinising it. as to your point about the unelected bit, you're completely right, i do think des brown , even though i think des brown, even though i voted against it because i'm on a three line tory whip, i do think des brown has got a point that people who've who have supported our soldiers in battle, should be excluded from, the this particular this is the afghan interpreters, jonathan. >> the afghan interpreters. yeah, i think that's right. i thought they already were.

>> and actually, actually, we were told, by the lords minister that they were going to give in on that, to be honest, but they didn't. commons didn't and government didn't. so i was slightly surprised by that , and slightly surprised by that, and i rather hope they do between you and i and all our viewers. so it'll go around quite a lot. haaland this is this is john carroll, just to finish on the other point, which is, you know, having planes not taking off before a committee of experts , before a committee of experts, have, have, have, satisfied themselves that rwanda have fulfilled their obligations is really, really asking a bit too much and actually fails to understand anything about rwanda. and actually, despite the fact that i think have a huge regard for lord hope as an individual, i think it's too legalistic and, won't , won't do legalistic and, won't, won't do us any favours in the eyes of the public. >> you mentioned before, you said, you know, that the house of lords is there for scrutiny . of lords is there for scrutiny. it is a revising chamber, but it's not there to thwart the

will of the elected chamber. but it was the it was michael tomlinson, migration tomlinson, the illegal migration minister, what minister, who said, yes, what they're now, this is they're doing now, this is wrecking amendments. this is designed purely to wreck the rwanda bill to thwart the elected will of the commons. >> well, we'll see, carol, but i don't think my own honest, to be honest with you, i don't think the afghan interpreter thing is a wrecking amendment. so i'll state that . i think des brown is state that. i think des brown is a very thoughtful labour politician , an admittedly, but politician, an admittedly, but he's very thoughtful. he was a defence minister, a secretary of state. he can remember rightly and, it's a it's a, it's a, you know, people are sympathetic towards it. and i don't think it's a wrecking amendment . i it's a wrecking amendment. i think lord hope's amendment could be considered that. and i will carry on voting against it, and i rather hope that he withdraws it . withdraws it. >> the lords are saying it won't work, but it seems to me that the terrified it might work. why don't they let it? why don't they pass it and let it and see

if it works? and then if it doesn't attack the tories? yeah well, this has always been my comment in our committee etc. is having been to rammed in the last 18 months twice, i know what place is like . what the place is like. >> in some ways it isn't really a deterrent if i'm honest. it's it's very nice. >> gorgeous. >> gorgeous. >> it's a good place to go. >> it's a good place to go. >> and loads of british tourists go there. so, you know, this . go there. so, you know, this. you have to understand, miranda, and recognise that it is not, some really third world terrible state. it it is a very clean and very well ordered state. maybe some people would say two ordered. i think the amazing thing is for 2 or 3 hours every saturday, every citizen has to go out and clean the common parts. so it's a very ordered state, carol, you're wincing at that. i can see, but, it is understanding the country, and i think lawyers do tend to look at

the legals a bit too much. and perhaps they should, drop this amendment when it comes back, because, as you say, it's been getting a bit of a of a pain. now and i rather hope the government concedes on afghan. so there we are. >> all right, lord, always good to talk to you. >> we have to go because we're tight on time. so the roundtable will be back in the commons next week and week when they'll try and overturn amendments. overturn these two amendments. but a point about but there is a point about afghan interpreters not be. >> no, he's absolutely right. >> no, he's absolutely right. >> got to go to the break. >> this is britain's newsroom on gb news. i'm andrew pierce. we're with karen maloney. we're here with karen maloney. aidan has got weather. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb views . news. views. news. >> hello. good morning. welcome to the latest forecast from the met office for gb news. a chilly start in many places today. cloudier in the north with some outbreaks of rain moving in this morning, especially for northern and western scotland. but a few

check on whether rwanda is actually actually safe, which seems entirely sensible. ministers are the courts have examined it in in great detail and found that there was real risk that people would be sent back to places where they were in danger, ministers have just asked us to pretend that didn't happen. and so what the lord said is, is no, we've got to we want an independent check to make sure this is real. and second, to exempt people who have assisted the uk armed forces from, from the rwanda scheme, which again, i think is absolutely right. i think if people have been put in danger because they've been assisting british forces, then it's absolutely right that we should do our part and protect them. >> sam, i don't know whether you heard lord marland, who was on the show earlier, he has been to rwanda. he cannot understand these claims that a these claims that it's a dangerous place. he said. it's a fabulous place, he said, and it's hardly deterrent. he said it's hardly a deterrent. he said , so lovely. why? why is

, it's so lovely. why? why is everybody pretending this everybody pretending it's this dangerous might dangerous hellhole? it might have years ago. it's not have been 30 years ago. it's not now have been 30 years ago. it's not novwell, mean, obviously it's. >> well, i mean, obviously it's. the minister said the same thing about communist russia , didn't about communist russia, didn't they? when they when ministers were were sent over to communist russia and they, they, they gave them a wonderful time and they said they came back saying, well, communist russia is brilliant, isn't it? >> you can do better than that. that's not do better than that. you can do better than that. >> but let's so let's talk about the reality of rwanda before this, this plan put in this, this plan was put in place. the government was place. the uk government was saying that rwanda was not a safe place, that it practised torture and that opposition members of the opposition were in in danger from political attacks. the government changed its mind when this when it ministers put this plan forward. in addition, in. it was only a few years ago that refugees in camps in rwanda who were protesting against their treatment , were met with gunfire

treatment, were met with gunfire from rwandan security forces and simply shot. so rwanda, rwanda has a history vie of and a very recent history of murderous treatment towards refugees and opposition leaders. >> sam, you know that this year the united nations, no less, that great bastion of liberal philosophy, has sent around 1800 refugees from libya to live in rwanda. if it's good enough for the united nations, a body i know that you think is rather good body , i'm not so keen on if good body, i'm not so keen on if it's good enough for the united nations, why isn't it good enough for us to send illegal migrants to rwanda to have their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their applications processed because the united nations is not leaving these people at the mercy of the rwandan government, the united nations has sent people to un run refugee camps and un protected refugee camps. >> now, if that's what we were talking about, if we were talking about, if we were

talking about, if we were talking about sending people to live in the custody of a un facility , then that's one thing. facility, then that's one thing. but we're not. we are doing something entirely different, which is leaving them with the rwandan government, which is the same government that has a history 30 years ago. >> sam. yes, 30 years ago. >> not now, not now, not not 30 years ago, not 30 years ago at all. >> we're talking about the current government, which has shot protesters. we're talking about the current government which imprisoned which has wrongfully imprisoned some . some people. >> people watching will be thinking, you know, you're being naive here. this is a cynical ploy by naive here. this is a cynical ploy by the lords, by many on the left to stop this just for no other reason that they want to thwart the tories. it feels to thwart the tories. it feels to me like they're terrified it might work. why don't they give it a go? why don't they pass it and let's see if it works ? and let's see if it works? >> well, the idea that if you are facing rape, starvation , are facing rape, starvation, even murder, you're going to get deterred by the, i think, o.4%

chance hencote facing rape and murder . murder. >> a lot of these people, a lot of these people are economic migrants and you know it. we see pictures of them every single day getting off their boat boats. they're men between 18 and 34. they're economic migrants. they're not people fleeing war, rape and torture . fleeing war, rape and torture. >> well, that's not actually the british government's view. the british government's view. the british government gives, can gives asylum seekers status to the majority of people that get off small boats . so i can only off small boats. so i can only go on what the what the government said. and they said the majority of these people are genuine refugees, but the the genuine refugees, but the so the idea are idea that genuine refugees are going deterred by the 0.4% going to be deterred by the 0.4% chance that they might be sent to miranda's for the birds and in, in pursuing this, this kind of flight of fancy, this really performative exercise is what we're doing is fundamentally undermining, we're doing is fundamentally undermining , the rule of law, undermining, the rule of law, which says that if a court decides and makes a decision of fact, then that decision of fact

fans, the government is asking courts to protect and that this decision of fact they've made has never happened and sort of conduct in this conduct business, in this totally imaginary world. >> sam, can i just ask you if you've seen the latest figures on the, the racial background, the identity of the refugees crossing the channel illegally? i might add, the fastest rising group now are people from vietnam . can you remind me what vietnam. can you remind me what war is raging in vietnam? which is driving so many of them into britain, apart from the fact they think we're a soft touch ? they think we're a soft touch? >> well, there's of course not a war going on in vietnam at the moment, but that doesn't mean it's so why do you think so many are coming here? >> what? what rape, strife and persecution. are they fleeing from vietnam? because i think it's same question we can it's the same question we can apply it's the same question we can apply many of those refugees apply to many of those refugees who are crossing the channel. they coming here, as karen they are coming here, as karen malone said, because they're economic have economic migrants. and we have talked program to a talked on this program to a human rights lawyer, a leading

human rights lawyer, a leading human rights lawyer called david haye, the haye, who says only 20% of the asylum cases deals with, in asylum cases he deals with, in his view, are genuine. only 20. he said it on the record on this program more than once. he won't be alone. >> well, that's that's not what the government itself. well, hang on, that's what he said. >> and he's at the cutting edge. he's not sitting in your posh chambers in in chancery lane, sam. dealing with refugees sam. he is dealing with refugees all the time. he said only 20% of the cases are genuine. >> and remember, pearce's paper did an expose on some of these lawyers that are actually deaung lawyers that are actually dealing with with the refugees . dealing with with the refugees. they're coaching them. they're coaching lie. they're coaching them to lie. they're coaching them to lie. they're coaching to say exactly coaching them to say exactly what just said rape, what you just said rape, torture, they're torture, murder. that they're victims . victims of. >> well, those those lawyers were quite right. and i was don't get me wrong about this. i was incensed and i don't think they're the only ones, though, do you? >> you they're there will be more out of the profession , and more out of the profession, and but but again the all i can say

is what you're doing here is sort of pulling up, individuals. right. and so you can pull up some individual examples of, of, of migrants that were, that were not legit. i can give you an individual's example, 80. >> who said 80? sam that works 80. >> isn't it morally wrong to block attempts to stop this trade in human trafficking? and that's what the lords are doing. and that's what the human rights lawyers and your profession are doing. they they're they're resistant. they are they're not attempting to block that. >> so the people have died so far this year, and that's only april 12. >> died in the whole of last yeah >> died in the whole of last year. only nine, nine so far this year . this year. >> yeah, it's the miranda plan. >> yeah, it's the miranda plan. >> it's like trying to stop murder by punishing murder victims. it's. it's not punishing human traffickers. it's punishing the victims of human trafficking. so the. yeah. and i'm 100%

human trafficking. so the. yeah. and i'm100% on human trafficking. so the. yeah. and i'm 100% on board. let's address human trafficking. let's address human trafficking. let's address it by targeting human traffickers, not the victims. let's address it by creating safe and legal routes for genuine asylum seekers . let's genuine asylum seekers. let's address it by focusing all the resources . 1.8 million per resources. 1.8 million per person . yeah, but, sam. sam, person. yeah, but, sam. sam, what about. >> what about the elephant ? >> what about the elephant? >> what about the elephant? >> yeah. actual things that are tackling the actual, not stunts. >> sam, what about the elephant in the room that they're leaving france a safe country which is part of the european union, which you're a huge supporter of. some of them have come via germany and other safe part of the european union. they're safe countries. why are they coming here? they're coming here because we because we are a soft touch. we don't turn them around. we don't turn the boats around. we don't turn the boats around. very i would around. and it's very i would argue very little to do argue it's very little to do with fleeing persecution , varne, with fleeing persecution, varne, strife, murder, rape, as we've seen from the vast increase in the number coming from vietnam. it's because they know when they get here, the border system is

in such chaos. they're here for good. >> well, actually, the uk takes far less than its, its expected quota of a quota. >> what. who set that quota. and so the presumably you're talking about the eu quota which we're not part of anymore. >> no no i'm not. no not not at all. which quota. >> which quota. >> which quota. >> unnumbered here. so the un looks what the different looks at what the different countries can stand to take. and actually the majority, the vast majority of asylum seekers go to countries that can least afford to take them. so these these are so you think we should have more here. okay. >> so you think we should have more here? >> yes. i think we should be doing more to do our bit because to have you seen how many . to have you seen how many. >> but he's lifting straight from the book of keir starmer who says we're not doing enough. but this, this is a crazy do you know, just last weekend alone, sam, 750 people arrived on

saturday and sunday. that's. that's one weekend that's replicating itself every day. where do you think we're going to get the money to pay and house and take care of these people? the bill currently is nearly £6 billion to rehouse and resettle the people who who are coming here. this is unsustainable . unsustainable. >> well, i mean, i tell you what i tell you what, we can get the money, we can cancel the rwanda plan and stop spending 1.8 million per person. that would be start. the rest of be a good start. the rest of what we can do is to provide, yes, integrate people in the economy, get them working, get them earning money, get them paying them earning money, get them paying taxes, get them contributing to the country. >> but what have they got? no right to be but what if right to be here. but what if they've got no right to be here? >> well, they've got a right if and this is what they're illegal, if they've lied, if they've lied, they threw away their migration papers their passports. >> why should we allow them to stay here? >> well, if people are, we shouldn't be allowing people to

claim for asylum if they're not genuine asylum seekers. i completely agree with you on that. but but again, most people in small boats, to according the government, are genuine asylum seekers. so i i'm on board with that. if they're if someone is saying i'm here to work, fantastic. if someone is saying i'm, i'm here because i'm, i'm fleeing persecution and i want to work also fantastic. if we can get at the moment what we do is we don't allow people who are claiming asylum to work at all. so we force them to be to live off the taxpayer . all right. off the taxpayer. all right. >> sam, sam, i'm going to have to let you go. sam. i'm going to let you go. always good to talk to you. that's how the barrister we like, sam, we have lots of disagreements with him. sam four fs, who's also a very fine colleague. little later in the program, joined by the program, we'll be joined by the transgender runner program, we'll be joined by the transg competed runner program, we'll be joined by the transgcompeted as runner program, we'll be joined by the transgcompeted as runn a woman who's competed as a man, a woman and non—binary runner running and a non—binary runner running in london marathon in the london marathon this weekend. i wonder what what category be in. this is category they'll be in. this is

companies house documents officially shows that he has changed his residency to the united states. it happened last yean united states. it happened last year, but it was only published this week. why is this important? will it shows? it's another sign that he's cut ties with united kingdom . he with the united kingdom. he doesn't want anything perhaps to with the united kingdom. he do> quite possibly. i think >> well, quite possibly. i think what it does show is that he clearly there's a big rift still with members of his family. with members of his own family. clearly has just lost his clearly he has just lost his case against the home office over police protection. i think protection comes in part of it because his us protection team, which costs millions of dollars a year, reportedly can carry firearms in the uk. they cannot carry firearms. they also do not have access to the m15 police,

intelligence . so he's always intelligence. so he's always said, harry, that he doesn't feel safe in the uk. perhaps that's a reason why he is going to the united states. to stay in the united states. >> just to jump >> but can we just to jump in there? came britain to there? if he came to britain to go father, who we go and see his father, who we know and if he was know is sick, and if he was doing involved anything doing involved in anything that involved members involved other members of the royal family, have this royal family, he would have this full of royal full panoply of royal protection. he would be treated just royal. just as any other royal. and he's not. and if he came here on holiday, i can't . why would he, holiday, i can't. why would he, anyway? because he's made his decision the united decision to be in the united states . i just don't buy the states. i just don't buy the fact going to be protected. >> so ravec the office >> so ravec the home office committee, prince harry's committee, does prince harry's security basis security on a case by case basis , as you said, he came back for when charles had cancer for when king charles had cancer for a few we're expecting him a few days. we're expecting him to to the next to come back to the uk next month invictus 10th month for the invictus 10th anniversary he does anniversary service. so he does have protection. clearly prince harry thinks it's inadequate. he also says that clearly he also still loves his family, which is why he made the effort to come back. will he bring meghan and the seen? the kids? we haven't seen? >> do you think the kids? we haven't seen? >> he do you think the kids? we haven't seen? >> he came do you think the kids? we haven't seen? >> he came back you think the kids? we haven't seen? >> he came back this think the kids? we haven't seen? >> he came back this time to when he came back this time to see because he only saw see his dad because he only saw charles minutes, you

charles for 25 minutes, do you think became was made think it became that it was made clear by the family that clear to him by the family that there was no way back? because, remember, we heard lots of rumours was going rumours that he was going to he had volunteered to duties had volunteered to do duties while were out while kate and charles were out of action. do you think it's been clear him? is been made clear to him? there is no back no way back in? >> well, i think any ordinary >> well, i think to any ordinary family, think if your family, you would think if your father fly father has cancer, you fly across to see your across the atlantic to see your father. you're going to make an effort to see other members of your family well. that didn't your family as well. that didn't happen. to remember the happen. we have to remember the royal is different to royal family is different to ours. can't sometimes ours. you can't sometimes just ring dad , who happens to ring up your dad, who happens to be the king. it to all be be the king. it needs to all be scheduled. that's scheduled. perhaps that's why it was it's was only 25 minutes. it's reported charles held reported that king charles held the helicopter back he could the helicopter back so he could see son of 25 minutes. but see his son of 25 minutes. but prince william, his brother . prince william, his brother. there was absolutely no contact between the two when he was here in the united kingdom. every time you speak to sources close to william, mentioned to william, you mentioned prince harry. goes up. they harry. a barrier goes up. they don't to talk about prince don't want to talk about prince harry. think harry. so clearly, i think between his brother himself between his brother and himself still there the still a big but wasn't there the impression that he was to impression that he was ready to come little bit , as if

impression that he was ready to come little bit, as if as come back a little bit, as if as if part time and that was rejected. >> and remember, there was there was some he'd volunteered to do one particular thing, and the palace straight and palace came straight out and said, happening. said, that's not happening. >> exactly. think this >> yeah, exactly. i think this is charles was is when king charles was stepping royal duties stepping back from royal duties because there because of his cancer. there were that harry were perhaps rumours that harry said be to take said he would be happy to take on charles's on some of king charles's duties, but the fact is he stood back as a working member in 2020 of the royal family. he decided to move to california. as is his right, is perfectly entitled right, he is perfectly entitled to that. but as the late to do that. but as the late queen during the queen said during the sandringham cannot sandringham summit, you cannot be half in, half out, out. and that's problem. be half in, half out, out. and tha why problem. be half in, half out, out. and tha why wise,3lem. be half in, half out, out. and tha why wise, wise monarch that >> why wise, wise monarch that she was that dictum she was and that that dictum appues she was and that that dictum applies today, the, she of course , is getting on with her course, is getting on with her career to make some money. she's, she's got this new, well, whatever you call it. well, person website, american riviera, orchard, american riviera, orchard, american riviera, orchard, american riviera, orchard and the first thing she's done is produce some strawberry jam. but i'm sure it's very nice jam, cameron. >> but not revolutionary, >> but it's not revolutionary, is ? is it? >> and i thought she was going

gp news. >> welcome back. now, the home office has been forced to move asylum seekers out of an ex raf base in essex . after safety base in essex. after safety concerns were raised about the site . site. >> well, with plans to stop housing migrants in hotels , housing migrants in hotels, which is the government's plan. where can they go now ? where can they go now? >> we're going over to our reporter, ray addison, who's going to tell us. hi, ray . going to tell us. hi, ray. >> hello. >> hello. >> yes, good morning to you both . well, of course, ten months ago, asylum seekers started moving into this former raf airbase . it was, of course, airbase. it was, of course, decided at that time that it was safe and fit for purpose. that was a decision made by the home office. and now we're hearing that 70 have been moved out and put back into those expensive hotels, which of course is a bit of a pr disaster for the prime

minister now, the fears are that on the site there are several safety risks, including radiation and unexploded ordnance. now i'm joined now by andrew hull. he's the chairman of wethersfield airbase scrutiny committee. thanks for joining of wethersfield airbase scrutiny committee. thanks forjoining me , andrew. what's your reaction to these young to these men here being moved out of the site? >> well, it comes as no surprise to us at all, we pre—warned the home office over a year ago about concerns regarding contamination on the site. what we do find quite odd is that the home office has said that they ensured that the site was safe before anyone came on. so why are undertaking testing now are they undertaking testing now 7 are they undertaking testing now ? now, whilst there's almost 600 people on and staff and people on site and staff and volunteers etc? i mean, according to our expert report, people are being put at a higher risk now. so what will the home office deciding back ten, 12 months ago when they decided to

ignore our report, ignore all advice and carry on blindly with what they were trying to implement? >> tell us about this report. so you've commissioned your own expert site . expert analysis of this site. >> yeah. so before the home office were on site, the ministry of justice were interested in building a very large complex asked large prison complex and asked local , we understand the local people, we understand the historic sort of ongoings here at the airbase, and us military sites across the world are notorious for being one of the worst pollutants and contaminants, going basically. so we had very, very strong fears. so we instructed , a world fears. so we instructed, a world class consultancy, led by a man with over 40 years experience, probably one of the most respected, engineers in the country. and it's a 52 page document and it set out very, very clearly a set of recommendations that need to be implemented before anyone accesses the site. and the very high risk of potential severe consequences of being exposed to class one hazards. and if these

to fall victim to is fraud. and the vast majority of that fraud is now online because our lives are spent online. your bank accounts and your subscriptions to tv channels or whatever it might be to retailer, it's all done online. you're putting details in there. and this scam is all about what they call phishing with a ph, not the angung phishing with a ph, not the angling variety , but effectively angling variety, but effectively they're trying to get information from you to harvest as much information as possible , as much information as possible, either to commit direct fraud against you , steal money from against you, steal money from your bank accounts, or to actually get enough details so that they can then apply for things like credit cards or loans or mortgages in your name, which you would then potentially down the line be saddled with this debt. your credit rating would plummet because suddenly you've got someone who's getting all this money in credit cards and loans, who then obviously defaults on that, and you're

left with it because it's in your details. >> you know, i got a phone call yesterday from a so—called insurance company, asking me lots and i knew lots of questions and i knew instantly it was a scam, because they were talking about my, my and my recent accident. well, you incredibly , i haven't you know, incredibly, i haven't had an accident between torchwood, but this. but, you know, all of us think we're too smart scammed by the smart to be scammed by the scammers , but we're not, because scammers, but we're not, because a of are very credible, a lot of them are very credible, and of them very and a lot of them are very clever. interestingly, >> and interestingly, this particular , the majority of particular scam, the majority of people that fall for it are young people because they're the people that are doing most, you know, living most of their sort of lives online. so although of course , older people are perhaps course, older people are perhaps more susceptible to being tncked more susceptible to being tricked and fooled by people calling them up and the like , calling them up and the like, they're not necessarily the type of demographic who are who are onune of demographic who are who are online all the time, and can fall for these very realistic, pages that are emailed out to

you that purport to be your bank or your retailer, there's some kind of issue security issue that you've got to contact them urgently and put the details to access this site or whatever, and all the while you're handing over key information that can be used against you. >> it's interesting because i got an email last year purporting to be from hmrc, and they said i owed them something like 15 grand and i thought, oh, and you know, it sends into and you know, it sends you into and you know, it sends you into a blind panic because it looks very efficient, very clever. and a blind panic because it looks very e'andent, very clever. and a blind panic because it looks very e'andent, very accountant, i i rang and my, my accountant, i think, i can't think, or a lawyer i can't remember. they said hmrc remember. and they said hmrc will you, not in a will never email you, not in a million years. they won't email you. >> yeah em- mm— % say i had the >> yeah they do say i had the same one. and also if you looked at you looked closely at at the if you looked closely at the there was a. or the small print, there was a. or something in the wrong place. but, some people think, but, but, but some people think, oh everybody's got to oh my god, everybody's got to pay oh my god, everybody's got to pay their tax. if you don't pay your you're paying your tax bill, you're paying interest this interest instantly. this website's but interest instantly. this welworry but interest instantly. this welworry is but interest instantly. this welworry is another but interest instantly. this welworry is another one but interest instantly. this welworry is another one williut my worry is another one will take its place within a matter of days. >> there are many now popping up, and the that is so

up, and the thing that is so worrying about this is i'm not tech savvy at all. but i went to this police briefing. i was showing the demonstration of how this works, and even i could work this out and what it's designed to do, it's designed to get subscriptions from criminals who want to commit fraud, but just don't have the technical knowledge to do that. so it's a how to guide. and also providing you with the sort of various websites that you might need to carry out this particular scam . carry out this particular scam. and already 2000, just as one site, 2000 criminals had signed up to this site, paying between 200 300 £400 for their subscriptions. the site itself had made £1 million just from those criminals subscribing to it for its information, but then when the actual fraud that these people are committing is potentially hundreds of millions of pounds, there are 70,000 victims in the uk alone that

they've been able to identify so far. and many times that all around the globe with some of these, 70,000 have known they'd been conned at that point. >> i mean, maybe they hadn't checked their bank account or something. yeah. well lot something. yeah. well a lot a lot of probably don't lot of people probably don't know because what happens is you put information know because what happens is you putyeah. nformation know because what happens is you putyeah. you mation know because what happens is you putyeah. you wait)n know because what happens is you putyeah. you wait a year, but >> yeah. you wait a year, but you don't hear anything, and you maybe follow that up or you don't. you might be satisfied and think that you've gone through the appropriate steps. but what you've done is you've handed over personal information. then unbeknown to you, some criminal is using andrew pearce's details to go off and get a mortgage on a house. >> well, they're not, can i tell you they're not? >> because even he doesn't know his own details. he's not clever. but what you were to clever. but what if you were to advise people on how best to protect what would advise people on how best to prot say what would advise people on how best to prot say , what would advise people on how best to prot say , just what would advise people on how best to prot say , just to what would advise people on how best to prot say , just to be what would advise people on how best to prot say , just to be very,t would advise people on how best to prot say , just to be very, veryrld you say, just to be very, very careful with everything that you see and do , you know, check it see and do, you know, check it out as best as you can. if you

place, why we don't support. there asylum seeker there was this the asylum seeker who leave country, who wants to leave the country, who's criminal he who's a criminal and he can't get home won't let get the home office won't let him out should he make it up? >> can you? unbelievable. >> can you? unbelievable. >> can't it. but the one >> can't make it. but the one thing i would say about, you know, the idea member of know, the idea that a member of cabin can a cabin crew can stop a deportation is absolutely ridiculous, deportation is absolutely ridicu people on the know people that work on the flights criminals flights that deport criminals back that back to their prison staff that do spare time. it's do it in their spare time. it's kind like a second for kind of like a second job for them. and, know, they are them. and, you know, they are very of being very afraid, actually, of being on with a, you on those flights with a, you know, that know, a bunch of people that have some have potentially committed some really crimes. i don't really terrible crimes. i don't i've idea how could i've got no idea how you could be where somebody be in a situation where somebody who nothing do with who is nothing to do with immigration that decision. >> surely the thing is to >> surely the thing is not to put them commercial planes? put them on commercial planes? >> private >> no. absolutely private charter. but we do do that with convicted put convicted criminals. we do put those people that that due those people that that are due to deported separate have to be deported on separate have to be deported on separate have to to rethink it. to be they have to rethink it. >> got we've got move >> we've got we've got to move on is your on because this is your favourite subject. although i don't favourite subject. although i don�*this is, this says brexit is but this is, this says brexit is blamed growth. blamed as uk growth. >> here go. yeah >> yeah. here we go. yeah >> yeah. here we go. yeah >> she goes give her a sell. >> she goes give her a sell. >> well i mean on your soapbox it's not only brexit i'll say

that to start off it's to do with the war in ukraine. it's to do global prices. do with global prices. but actually very importantly it is to leaving things to do with us leaving things like european medicines like the european medicines agency. we can't approve drugs like the european medicines agthis'. we can't approve drugs like the european medicines agthis country1't approve drugs like the european medicines agthis country asapprove drugs like the european medicines agthis country as quickie drugs like the european medicines agthis country as quick asirugs in this country as quick as europe can. you know, that system has been working for a long . we're to system has been working for a long .we're to it. long time. we're new to it. we're just learning, could we're just learning, you could say. the reality is people say. but the reality is people are out these absolutely are out of these absolutely vital medicines. i can't get an epipen at the minute, for example, and i have a severe nut allergy. walnut, allergy. if i eat a walnut, i will but don't have an will die. but i don't have an epipen right now, so it's kind of playing russian roulette of just playing russian roulette because stock. because they're out of stock. where they from? don't where do they come from? i don't know from, know where they come from, actually. important actually. it's important because if europe, what's if it's not from europe, what's the yeah. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> well, told that >> well, i've been told that just of just not in stock. lots of people i have been , people i know have been, struggling with adhd medication. if you know anything about something if you come something like adhd, if you come off medication, can off that medication, it can really to , you know, really push you to, you know, the point of insanity. actually, hrt, hrt was another one. we can't we can't in this country be in a situation where people can't get basic medicines. it is really , really, really damning.

really, really, really damning. and the other point is that europe doesn't want to help us right behind the us right now, we're behind the us and terms of, the and europe in terms of, the chain of who gets what. i just think, anybody think think, why didn't anybody think about this before we voted for breakfast? >> how do you do you think >> how much do you do you think it's brexit? >> big sigh here. honestly the >> i big sigh here. honestly the way the guardian's reported this, to brexit. this, it's all down to brexit. it is not. if you look at the report. yeah it says brexit has exacerbated this. this is not a brexit problem. think it's brexit problem. i think it's probably fair to say that brexit has made it slightly worse. this is a global problem. the united states having states of america is having problems the medicines problems accessing the medicines it needs. and actually in in the eu . the netherlands has had eu. the netherlands has had severe drug shortages for years . severe drug shortages for years. so i don't think it's right. >> why is there a worldwide brexit? >> why is there a world? >> why is there a world? >> i think it is because we have because the war in ukraine, because of the war in ukraine, plus the covid pandemic, obviously saw the global obviously we saw the global supply chains for everything, for everything . just, for example, everything. just, you know, you couldn't get hold of anything, could you? everything a halt everything just ground to a halt . the problems in . there's all the problems in with houses shipping with the houses and the shipping channels lot of

channels. there are a lot of global at moment that global issues at the moment that are to this. are contributing to this. >> i what's happening in the middle either. middle east won't help either. yeah, iran. yeah, israel. yeah. iran. >> i think fantastic. >> i think it's fantastic. you've up. you've actually just messed up. nikki so anyway , that's the job, nikki so anyway, that's the job, isn't it ? isn't it? >> the whole point of it. >> the whole point of it. >> we like to we like disagreements. okay >> so now, sam, this is the times it says photo booths installed panic buttons for abused are getting abused women. women are getting abused women. women are getting abused when they go to get a photograph taken on railway station. >> no no no. right because that's what i thought, carl. >> like, not what >> i was like, that's not what you think. >> actually >> but it's actually it's actually, italy . actually, photo booths in italy. there's an italian firm that produces photo booths, which is putting in a pink box panic box. you hit the button, you get through to an operator who will help you if you're being abused at home. nothing. so you're not being you're not being abused in at home. nothing. so you're not beirpanic. re not being abused in at home. nothing. so you're not beirpanic. you're being abused in at home. nothing. so you're not beirpanic. you're not|g abused in at home. nothing. so you're not beirpanic. you're not beingsed in the panic. you're not being abused the but why go to abused in the box. but why go to control photo booth to do that? why you just tell why don't you just tell the police actually, police and actually, this is this really point. this is a really serious point. so are a victim of so if you are a victim of domestic abuse , i know women who

she said, she says it's insane. she said it's cheating. and she said it goes even farther. she said it goes even farther. she said the argument is simple a man can become a woman, declare himself, enter all female himself, enter all the female tournaments, of money tournaments, win lots of money and then go back to being a man again. >> i well we weren't there . >> i know well we weren't there. and of course there was a marathon runner taking part in the marathon. marathon runner taking part in the and marathon. marathon runner taking part in the and marathe?. thought marathon runner taking part in thethought marathe?. thought marathon runner taking part in thethought marbuilding thought marathon runner taking part in thethought mar building weyught we thought the building we thought but but thought was joining us, but but presumably running in training. >> this , this particular >> but this, this particular runner has competed as a man, a woman and a non—binary. and what we were going to ask her was which category will she be running in in the london marathon on sunday? and to be fair to anyone who can do a marathon that's quite an achievement. >> her, says >> to be fair to her, she says there should trans category there should be a trans category , that's no, but there , and that's no, but there should because you can't should be because you can't expect women unquestioningly compete. >> continue >> why can't she continue running as a man? >> what is that? what is that as well? but you can't ask women to just not question the fact they're run against they're having to run against people a couple of years people who a couple of years ago women know, all women because, you know, as all of them, and this guy of them, i mean, and this guy says another athlete says there's another athlete called , she's a trans athlete

another month and another scandal has hit the tory party. this time it's the backbench mp, mark menzies , who backbench mp, mark menzies, who has lost the whip over alleged misuse of campaign funds. has lost the whip over alleged misuse of campaign funds . he misuse of campaign funds. he issued a statement saying that. carol. okay. >> it says i strongly dispute the allegations put to me. i fully comply with all the rules for declarations as there an for declarations as there is an investigation ongoing . i will investigation ongoing. i will not further. not be commenting further. >> a bizarre story where >> this is a bizarre story where he effectively was locked in a

room a house. he says room in a house. but he says allegedly by some men and needed money them off. this just money to pay them off. this just to tell you, carol, when boris johnson won that election in 2019, the had a majority 2019, the tories had a majority of majority now down of 80. that majority is now down to about 52. >> quite a bit of because of course this will spark a by—election. he's going to have to there'll by—election to there'll be a by—election >> political >> well, our political correspondent olivia utley is in our studio. olivia, our westminster studio. olivia, here go but one here we go again. but this one is especially odd . is especially odd. >> everything about this story is , frankly, absolutely bizarre. is, frankly, absolutely bizarre. >> as you say , andrew, what >> as you say, andrew, what seems to have happened, what the allegation is, is that mark menzies was at home at 315 in the morning. he called his former campaign manager, a 78 year old woman, a current tory party volunteer, and said i'm locked in a room with some bad people. can you transfer me £5,000 from the party campaign funds? the tory volunteer said no and a few hours later mark menzies ran rang his current

campaign manager and asked for £6,500 for the same purpose. she sent him that that money from her own personal bank account, and it was later reimbursed from tory campaign funds. obviously if that is proved to be the case, that is really not okay. and it also isn't the only allegation that mark menzies is facing altogether. he's accused of taking £14,000 from party campaign funds to use towards private medical bills. well, that's what he claims anyway. this is very, very tricky for rishi sunak, not only because, as you say, it makes his majority, erode his majority even more, but also there are questions about the way the conservative party handled this. apparently this was reported to cchq three months ago, but action has only just been taken. also, mark menzies relinquished the whip himself. perhaps it was a case of jumping before he was

pushed, but when an mp steps out of line to an extent like this, you would expect the whip to be removed from them. i think it leaves rishi sunak open to allegations that he's just too weak to control his own party, something that he really can't afford in the run up to the local elections . local elections. >> and could get another >> and we could get another by—election. if by—election. olivia. because if the there's a petition the local if there's a petition in local constituency, in his local constituency, i think what it has get to 10% think what it has to get to 10% or something of electorate, or something of the electorate, another even though another by—election even though it's big majority of 16,000 another by—election even though it's would|ajority of 16,000 another by—election even though it's would vanish of 16,000 another by—election even though it's would vanish in 16,000 another by—election even though it's would vanish in ai,000 that would vanish in a by—election >> well, absolutely. >> well, absolutely. >> i feel like i've been through this so many times before in in recent months, with conservative mps having to step down. but yes, we could well be facing a by—election and these days , by—election and these days, 16,000, majority of 16,000, as you say, andrew, just isn't enough to be counted on at all. >> well, that's olivia utley that's camelot. we're done. are we done? carole malone is back with with me on monday. that's it from britain's newsroom coming up next, it's tom and emma webb .
