awkward moments. >> eligible for what i've been able to do with the with the covid excuse me, with, dealing with everything we have to do with, look , if we finally beat medicare. >> thank you, president biden . >> thank you, president biden. >> thank you, president biden. >> absolutely astonishing moments. and our us correspondent , stephen moments. and our us correspondent, stephen egginton spoke to those in washington, dc for their verdict on that debate. >> what do you think won the debate tonight? >> i think in terms of opinion, biden won. but in terms of everything else , trump won and everything else, trump won and you're a biden voter. i personally am, even though i'm not a fan of either voter. but if i had to pick, i'd vote biden. >> so did your mind change tonight after watching biden? >> it didn't, but i have significantly less faith than i ever did. why because he's getting old and i know they asked about that, and i personally don't believe him in his answer. but it's just a

personal policy thing. i agree with biden more than i agree with biden more than i agree with trump, so i'm still going to vote for him. >> and what do you think of trump's performance ? trump's performance? >> i think trump presents himself very well . i think, you himself very well. i think, you know, it's very easy to get caught up in the information because, you know, trump says one thing, biden says another. but i think overall he did well . but i think overall he did well. i mean, i'm glad that he was willing to come to cnn. >> what do you think of trump's performance ? performance? >> i think it was remarkably good.i >> i think it was remarkably good. i did not start out as a trump voter, in 2016, i voted for hillary. in 2020, i voted for hillary. in 2020, i voted for vermin supreme. this time i'm voting for trump. and i think trump did an absolutely fantastic job in this debate, better than his previous one. >> did biden look old tonight was just like squinting the whole time. he's like this the whole time. he's like this the whole time, and he's just like , whole time, and he's just like, you know, you could tell that he's like trying to think of what he's trying to say. and he's these long pauses. it was

just awkward. who do you think won the debate tonight? >> donald trump ? absolutely. >> donald trump? absolutely. why? he was the only one who actually could, a speak coherently and b articulate a record of success and a vision for the future . for the future. >> well, as the dust settles, i'm now joined by that man. gb news us correspondent stephen edgington. steve welcome to the show. what can we say that debate has been called a crime scene. it's being called a medical emergency. the democrats def con one moment stephen. overnight biden has plummeted to only a 21% chance of winning the next presidential election. donors are threatening to pull out steve, it's fair to say it was a terrible night at the office for joe biden. >> i think the democrats are an absolute chaos after this debate . some people are speculating that they sort of set up biden to fail so they could replace him as their candidate ahead of november. i don't think that's true. i think the expectations

were very low for biden, and many democrats thought that he simply had to get through the debate without stumbling on his words, too many times, and it would look like he'd won. but actually, he failed that very low bar . in so actually, he failed that very low bar. in so many instances in the debates, there were so many moments where biden simply couldn't string a sentence together. and if biden looked asleep , trump looked awake. he asleep, trump looked awake. he pounced on every single mistake that biden made, and he twisted his words and managed to, verbally sort of assault him. it was incredible. trump, i think was incredible. trump, i think was really had a really good night last night. whereas as you say, biden, i think the democrats are considering whether he should be their candidate in november. >> and, steve, the entire format was set up to favour joe biden. the muted microphones, no audience, five days of preparation. he knew what the questions were going to be. and still actually the format ended up being his downfall. team trump put a video out just of

compilations of joe biden unable to speak. as you said, just with haunting piano music in the background. it actually stephen doesn't look funny anymore. it actually looks a bit cruel. this guy doesn't look well. surely the right thing has to be done, both for the democrat party and the america and the entire free world, and they need to get rid of joe biden now , i think it's of joe biden now, i think it's worth saying that cnn would deny that biden saw the questions beforehand, but certainly the debate, sort of rules were meant to, i think, favour biden and actually they ended up favouring trump because trump didn't interrupt biden once, or he or very little , and that made trump very little, and that made trump look quite calm and moderated compared to his more angry debate performance, debate performances in 2020, in terms of whether they should remove him from the ballot, i think many americans will be looking tonight and thinking, this is our president. can he do it for another four years, even though

both candidates are fairly old, i think there was a stark contrast between how biden and trump articulated their words, and particularly in these moments where biden seemed to forget where he was or seemed to completely lose his train of thought. i think many , many thought. i think many, many americans will look at this last night and think, i can't believe he can do it for another four years. >> and steve, what was astonishing was that the debate, of course, on cnn, a very, very pro—democrat station historically, very , very hostile historically, very, very hostile towards mr trump, their own team afterwards, it felt like a wake, even trump's advisers, chief of staff, advisers who've worked with joe biden, who said that they love him as a man, as saying this was painful to watch and so when you have the advisers, when you have the donors getting touchy, surely now there has to be some action. >> steve, i think that there is highly likely there might be some action from democratic bigwigs. i think it depends how the opinion polls change over

the opinion polls change over the coming weeks, whether this really does dent biden's chances ahead of november. and of course, the democrats can change their candidate. you know, they haven't had their convention yet, which is where they choose their candidate for the election. so there is every possibility that last night was a historic moment in the election campaign. the election campaign here in the us really hasn't seen very much going on recently . i think most americans recently. i think most americans have really clocked out. but i think last night, joe biden may be asleep, but i think americans woke up to his to the danger, perhaps, that he poses if he becomes president again in november. for four years, i think he simply looked too old. >> okay, stephen. urgent. thank you. joining us from america. and we'll come back to you for more reaction throughout the show as we go on. thank you very much. and we're joined now by the campaign adviser , california the campaign adviser, california democratic party bob mulholland. bob, welcome to the show. i don't know how much of that you overheard there, but we were trotting through the fact that senior donors of the democratic

party are now mark buehrle saying, do we have time to put somebody else in there? biden now only on a 21% chance of winning the presidential campaign if he stays as the nominee, the pollsters, his own team are saying something needs to be done. what would you say to be done. what would you say to all of that? >> well, yes. >> well, yes. >> democrats did not have a great night. and we've teamed media is ignoring all the mistakes that trump made. but i do think 40 years ago i watched the president reagan debate, first debate with mondale didn't go well for reagan. the next day, all the pundits were saying not all, but many of the pundits say, oh, maybe time to remove reagan . well, reagan went on to reagan. well, reagan went on to win 49 states. president obama in 2012 with romney first debate again didn't come out very well and people started talking. do we have a difficult election? absolutely. but i think ultimately in november 5th, the american people will see, hey, they're both older , but at least

they're both older, but at least biden is on our side. he's from the middle of pennsylvania, from middle of america , and he maybe middle of america, and he maybe doesn't do well in debates. but he's on our side. and i think ultimately that's our job as democrats . i'm a ultimately that's our job as democrats. i'm a biden delegate. i will be at the national convention august week of august 19th, and i will be voting for biden and harris. >> you know, bob, i admire your loyalty. i admire that sentiment , undeniably. you know, joe biden loves his country. he's had a distinguished and long standing career. but is it not? surely time just to look at the evidence before your eyes and saying to do the right thing by the country , standing by your the country, standing by your candidate blindly when all the evidence seems to show it will be the wrong choice? is it not time to do the right thing? put the country first and let somebody younger and more competent have a go. >> if england, in the euro 2024 is behind in the quarter, they don't say we got to get out of the game. they keep going and that's what we're going to go.

we got several months to go. lots of things could happen. even trump you know he's obese. according to his own doctor. he could have health problems. and the voters will say , oh, both of the voters will say, oh, both of these guys aren't really ready. but ultimately on november 5th, it's between biden and trump. and i think we found we got a lot of clips last night of, of trump. but i also mentioned this that it what if trump last night couldn't remember his wife's name like happened a couple months ago? what if trump last night said he beat obama in the presidential race, which happened a couple of months ago ? happened a couple of months ago? would people today be saying, oh, we better get trump out of there? yes, we had a bad night, but we got a long way to go. >> yeah, but bob mulholland, cnn, i mean, a platform , a cnn, i mean, a platform, a channel that's historically been very pro—democrat , very anti very pro—democrat, very anti donald trump. it fact checked so much of what joe biden said last night and showed he got things wrong time and time again. had plenty of time to rehearse for this , plenty of time to get on this, plenty of time to get on point. but when it came down to

it in the white heat of the moment, you must admit it was a terrible, terrible night for joe biden and the democratic party. >> yeah, not a good night, as i've said. hey, the same fact checkers at cnn listed about 20 items that trump mystic and i, as a veteran , i am very angry. as a veteran, i am very angry. i always have been angry at trump for what he said about john mccain, who was a republican us senator for five year prisoner of war in hanoi, a war that i served in. and, you know, he called him a loser. and i was very happy with president biden, a couple of weeks ago, going to bellwood in france, a famous battle site for the us marines in world war i, which trump refused to go. so there's lots of things to bring up in our television ads, our social media. and yes, we as democrats are going to get hammered for a few days. but, you know , trump few days. but, you know, trump could be coming out of his plane, fall down four steps, and people will be turning on that issue the long way to go. and i'm ready to go for biden. >> but bob mulholland, you know,

joe biden also said last night, i'm the only president where no servicemen have died on my watch. and 13 servicemen died in that disastrous withdrawal from afghanistan. so he was fact checked and was incorrect on that point to and trump in the 2016 campaign promised the american people that the war in afghanistan will be over in 2017, his first year, as he heard last night, he was going to end all the wars. >> well, it turns out trump dithered for four years, never ended the war, and then signed a one sided deal with the taliban. terrorists to say we'll leave in 2021. well, that was in the next administration that he planned. that was trump's fault. but i will remind, let your listeners know that about 68 american troops were killed during those four years of trump's dithering in afghanistan as a vietnam vet, i understand wars. they're not easy. they're not since world war two. they have not been like that where it was kind of a

gentleman's war. you got the berlin and tokyo and there was peace agreements. wars today are just go on and on and on. but trump and i think president biden made this clear last night, iran attacked an american base in iraq. and trump went on national tv as president and said, if soldiers our troops only had headaches. well, they were being evacuated. they were seriously injured, brain injuries. and trump called them headaches. so as a veteran, i've never liked trump because he skipped my war. he paid some doctor to get out of it as a four fs. so i'm no fan of trump, but i think the polls on that couple of days will show. we took a hit, but we got a long way to go. >> okay. thank you forjoining >> okay. thank you for joining us. and thank you for being so open and forthright. it's very, very much appreciated. campaign advisor california democratic party bob mulholland , seriously, party bob mulholland, seriously, thank you very much for joining us on the show . now, lots more us on the show. now, lots more on that story. of course, throughout the rest of the show, and there's plenty of coverage on our website , gbnews.com, and on our website, gbnews.com, and you've helped to make it the fastest growing national news

very wrong. mr parker will not be welcomed back. but hey, you know what? he's put a statement out already saying his views he knows are not mine. in rob bates said some silly things for which, by the way , not which, by the way, not offensive, but stupid things about the campaign, how it's being run. and george jones expressed frustration about the police having pride flags on their cars. >> but both those people, to be clear, won't be working with your campaign anymore. >> all of us say silly things after a drink. it was very unwelcome. >> well, mr farage, early today appeared on itv's loose women, where he addressed the fallout over racism from reform uk activists , claiming the entire activists, claiming the entire operation was a set up and channel 4 strenuously denied those allegations. let's take listen. >> i saw the footage last night. i thought, no one speaks like that. it was just stream after stream of invective. no one speaks like that. he denied point blank that he was an actor. it turns out he is an actor. it turns out he is an actor . i actor. it turns out he is an actor. i found his website. he's actor. i found his website. he's a well—spoken actor . he was

a well—spoken actor. he was rough speaking. he wasn't being himself from day one. i have to tell you, this whole thing is a complete and total setup of that . i have no doubt whatsoever. >> we have spoken to channel 4 news and they say we strongly stand by our rigorous and duly impartial journalism, which speaks for itself . we did not speaks for itself. we did not pay speaks for itself. we did not pay the reform uk canvasser or anyone else in this report . anyone else in this report. >> well, joining me now is tv news political correspondent katherine forster. catherine, welcome to the show. an astonishing situation. mr farage claimed the entire thing is a setup. channel 4 strenuously denying that . denying that. >> yes. that's right. good afternoon. martin. yes more bad headunes afternoon. martin. yes more bad headlines for the reform party and nigel farage. and this, of course, comes only a week since he really set the cat among the pigeons with his comments about the war in ukraine, saying that the war in ukraine, saying that the west had provoked putin in that which went down very badly

with many and that that story, again, is on the front page of the telegraph today . and because the telegraph today. and because the telegraph today. and because the prime minister has called nigel farage a putin apologist. so, forgive me, just losing my earpiece. so today, i mean, this story broke last night about this campaigner in clacton, these very, very offensive comments. and i think it's quite shocking, actually, isn't it, to see a clip of the prime minister speaking and using words which are so offensive that they have to be beeped out. but, you know, he said he'd sent the said them because he wants to call this out. and you know , totally out. and you know, totally offensive. of course also factually incorrect. rishi sunak was born in southampton. he is british and his parents are of indian heritage. so wrong on absolutely every level. now nigel farage has made it very clear that this campaigner,

andrew parker is not welcome with reform any any more , but with reform any any more, but you know, this whole issue of was it a setup. now i've seen the clip where this man who is a part time actor, talks in a rather different sounding voice to the voice used in the clip, but worth saying. channel 4 absolutely, completely deny this. and he has also denied it. he said, you know , this is just, he said, you know, this is just, you know, this is just me. this is how i talk. so, you know , is how i talk. so, you know, nigel farage now, of course, saying absolutely this is wrong. there's no place for this sort of attitude in the reform party . of attitude in the reform party. also saying that, you know, people who are racist are drawn to reform because, the british national party, frankly, is no longer around. and nigel farage is saying that effectively, you know , he destroyed the british

know, he destroyed the british national party and that sort of far right faction in, in england. and that is why , you england. and that is why, you know, some people with very offensive views are drawn to reform. but nigel farage, very keen to disassociate himself. but i do think these are more damaging headlines for reform. and of course the general election just a week away . election just a week away. >> gay katherine forster, thank you very much for joining us >> gay katherine forster, thank you very much forjoining us on you very much for joining us on gb news. always a pleasure to have your company. now, a spokesperson for channel 4 has given the following statement . given the following statement. we strongly stand by our rigorous and duly impartial journalism, which speaks for itself. we met mr parker for the first time at reform uk's headquarters, where he was a reform party canvasser. we did not pay the reform uk canvasser or anyone else in this report. mr parker was not known to channel 4 news and was filmed covertly via the undercover operation . now there's lots more operation. now there's lots more still to come between now and 4:00, i'll be speaking to social

welcome back. it's 20 to 4. i'm martin daubney on gb news now. rishi sunak has responded to a reform uk activist comments caught on camera, referring to him as a racial slur, saying he is hurt and angry. well, nigel farage today appeared on itv's loose women where he addressed the fallout over racism from reform uk activists , claiming reform uk activists, claiming the entire operation was a set up. now, channel 4 has strenuously denied those allegations, but i'll ask this question now should political parties be held responsible for their activists? and joining me now to discuss this is the

social policy analyst, doctor raqib hassan . rakhi, welcome to raqib hassan. rakhi, welcome to the show. always a pleasure . i the show. always a pleasure. i want to ask the question, andrew parker is a grade—a moron, right? we can all we can all agree what he said was reprehensible. he's been kicked out the organisation of reform, and rightly so. i've taken part in quite a few elections in my time, i've been on the receiving end of all sorts of abuse. i've been on pro—palestine marches. i've seen political candidates have cars driven out of them, green party, labour party, the marches. people say dodgy things all over the place in politics. my all over the place in politics. my question is quite simple to you, doctor nichi hodgson should political party leaders be held responsible for everything that anybody says within their party? >> i think that political leaders have a responsibility to condemn blatantly racist statements, which may be made by campaigners affiliated to their party, and they also have to act robustly when their

parliamentary candidates, say, bigoted things. >> and i think the issue here is that we had a channel 4 undercover investigation , into undercover investigation, into the reform party . i wonder if the reform party. i wonder if they are also, carrying out similar activities for other political parties. and if not, why is it the case they've been so selective. i think that more generally , martin, i make this generally, martin, i make this point that this general election was announced very abruptly by the prime minister and one of my initial reactions was that we were going to have a number of candidate related scandals, because i felt that those vetting procedures, they wouldn't be carried out in such a thorough way. and it seems like i may have had a point. >> and you also mentioned something fascinating on social media last night that, as you mentioned , in your hometown of mentioned, in your hometown of luton, if some undercover reporting was done on the streets of luton, then we might find something rather unsavoury coming out of certain

communities, you wouldn't need any undercover reporting for that, martin, that say it to you directly, luton is known for having many residents, various walks of life. they don't have much of a social filter, and they don't have much time for political correctness either. so i think that the point is people have very controversial views. across a variety of topics. i think that what is that political leaders have to take responsibility in terms of pushing back on those opinions if they're expressed by those who are affiliated to their own party. and i think that more generally, when it comes to parliamentary candidates , if parliamentary candidates, if it's found that they have made very questionable statements on social media when i mean questionable, statements which are very clearly racist, bigoted towards particular, racial and religious groups , then political religious groups, then political leaders have a responsibility to act robustly in those situations. >> and that has happened in this instance. andrew parker is now

history. i think we can all agree that's the right thing to do. but we've also seen recently green party councillors crying allah akbar when they were elected, we've seen terrible anti—semitism within the labour party. i wonder if we'll see an undercover sting on those political parties. raqib well, if we do, it won't be channel 4 behind it. >> but for that way i think that more generally, i think that when we look at british politics, by the way, i'd say overall our political environment is far more favourable than other european countries, for example. and i think when you see the degree of political polarisation in the united states , i do think that united states, i do think that we are in better shape. that's not to say that improvements can be made in the british context, but i think overall, when we're looking at this particular situation where there are blatantly racist comments made towards, the prime minister, i think there was also some very worrying statements which emerged from the investigation, which amounted to incitement to violence , talking about young violence, talking about young army recruits being sent to the

south coast to shoot illegal migrants. however, conservative your views are an illegal migration that is totally unacceptable. but i think that my point is you would find unacceptable characters in a variety of political organisations, and i think that whether it's channel 4 or any other channel, i think they also have a responsibility to challenge and expose those views, irrespective of which organisations those views are within. >> common sense, as ever spoken. thanks for joining >> common sense, as ever spoken. thanks forjoining us on the thanks for joining us on the show. that's the social policy analyst, doctor raqib asan. thank you very much for joining us. now to repeat, a spokesperson for channel 4 has said this statement. we strongly stand by our rigorous and duly impartial journalism , which impartial journalism, which speaks for itself. we met mr parker for the first time at reform uk's headquarters, where he was a reform party canvasser. we did not pay the reform uk canvasser or anyone else in this report. mr parker was not known to channel 4 news and was filmed covertly via the undercover

operation . now coming up, the operation. now coming up, the latest in the hunt for jay slater as undercover sleuths hit the island. i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel

welcome back. your time is 349. i'm martin daubney on gb news now . police in tenerife are news now. police in tenerife are calling for volunteers to take part in a new large scale search for missing british teenagerjay for missing british teenager jay slater in tenerife. the spanish civil guard said in a statement that the search would begin at 9 am. local time on saturday in the village of masca, near to his last known location. and meanwhile, the mother of the missing teenager say some of the money raised by a crowdfunding appeal will be withdrawn to help with that search and the appeal

has raised over £40,000 so far. well, let's find out now for more with the senior global reporter at mail0nline, nick pisa, who's joins us from tenerife. nick, welcome back to the show. you've been covering this story since day one, 12 days in what more do we know? an astonishing revelation that tourists are now flocking to the last known apartment of jay slater and performing ghoulish searches in search of selfies as well bring us up to speed. >> yes, well, you can probably see behind me now. this is the terrain that the police are looking for. jay. you can see it's quite steep, rugged . it is it's quite steep, rugged. it is actually quite a bit of a wilderness here. there's just cacti behind me and the trails are very difficult to see. and if we pan over here just to my left, you can actually see the airbnb where jay was staying when he sent a snapshot to his two friends saying that he'd been driven up here by, his friend, some two guys that he'd met down in america at the after

party at papagayo nightclub. they came up here and he then went left this house, walked up the mountain, saying that he was going to try and get back to his apartment where he was staying with his friends, because he'd missed the last bus. and we now know that that didn't happen. but as you say, yes, this place has now started to attract . i has now started to attract. i think we've got tourists, people just coming up here having a look at the at the scene, taking photographs , taking selfies. and photographs, taking selfies. and to a certain degree, the spanish police are saying that this noise, if you like, that's what they're calling it. this interference is actually hampering with their investigation. although at the same time they have appealed for volunteers, as you said in the introduction, there to come here tomorrow at 9 am. to start a mass search of this area. but they are they are specifically saying they don't want just anybody to come. they want people who are experienced in hiking across this sort of terrain and the key thing they are saying is that you must register if you turn up here, because they don't want to be looking for these people themselves later on this tomorrow afternoon. >> and isn't that the danger

here, though , nick? we've got a here, though, nick? we've got a lot of we've got a lot of tiktok detectives who want to come along for the ride, for the glamour. and as you say, the civil guard are saying they want people who are competent in mountain rescue. i guess that rules out most tourists who just want to come along and, i don't know, have a bit of a tourist adventure . adventure. >> well, you'd like to think so, martin, because i say this terrain is actually very difficult to search through and to trek through. it's as i said, the trails aren't marked. today is actually one of the first days when it's actually quite warm up here. the last week or so, it's actually been quite chilly with a bit of a breeze. so you don't just want anyone coming up here and putting on their their hiking gear and their their hiking gear and their boots strapping on a rucksack and strolling along through here. you need to know what you're doing, i say. otherwise you're going to perhaps be need rescuing yourself by those authorities as well. but just to go back on those tiktokers and internet sleuths as well, they are really having an effect on the family. they've told me that they've just cannot bear to look at social media because of some of

the stuff that's been posted on there , and some of the stuff is there, and some of the stuff is actually quite vile and abusive to them. and what i would say to those people is, look, just stop, pause, have a think. would you say something like this to your own son, nephew, whatever. if they were missing, it's just not on, really. >> and nick, briefly, if we could also this fundraiser over £40,000 has been raised. the mother, debbie duncan, has withdrawn some of that money. that's caused a few eyebrows to raise this side of the water. >> yes. that's right. what is amazing about that gofundme page is that the initial target was £30,000, and that was reached within three days. it's a hell of a lot of money. and now we know that it's got more than £40,000 in it. and as you say, debbie made a post on that facebook page yesterday saying that they were in talks with gofundme to withdraw some of that cash to help pay for the their expenses whilst out for here accommodation, for food, that sort of thing, and also to so that they can have the support of loved ones from back home who could come and join

them. but they say they also want to donate to the mountain rescue services up here, or all volunteers to help pay for the cost of them being searching in these mountains behind me . these mountains behind me. >> okay, nick, nick, peter , >> okay, nick, nick, peter, senior senior global reporter at mailonline. thank you for that superb and comprehensive update live from tenerife. thank you very much. now coming up after joe biden's car crash debate performance last night as they're now any hope left for they're now any hope left for the democratic party, i martin daubney on gb news. we'll have full reaction from over there in america. it's an astonishing night. defcon one moment it's being called and people donors pulling out of the party saying we need a new candidate. we must go on without joe biden. we'll have a full update after this. now, time for your weather, though, with alex deakin . though, with alex deakin. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb

news >> afternoon. welcome along to your latest weather update from the met office here on gb news. a fresher feel out there, certainly compared to earlier in the week, many of us having a fine end to the working week, it's just not particularly warm andifs it's just not particularly warm and it's still quite gusty across northern scotland. plenty of showers packing in here, 1 or 2 showers across southern scotland and northern england through the evening and overnight, but most places will be dry some lengthy clear spells in the east, but it will cloud over further west during the early hours, staying quite warm under that clouds but with some clearer skies, will easily see temperatures dropping down into single figures. still quite breezy in northern scotland on saturday. a few showers here, but much of scotland dry and fine, with some good spells of sunshine and plenty of sunshine across the south as well. a fine day to come for east anglia and the south east, but in these more central parts through wales, northern england, much more cloud and there will be some rain and drizzle too, particularly to the west of

northern england and across the north, and the west of wales. some brighter skies across the north of northern ireland. sunny spells for most of scotland, but there will be more showers packing in across the far north. not as windy here as today, but still a noticeable and fairly chilly breeze. the cloud should tend to drift away from northern ireland through the day, so belfast brightening up through the morning along with parts of southern scotland but much of northwest england, north and west wales likely to stay fairly drab. some rain and drizzle, especially over coasts and hills and cooler here as a result. but some warmth across the south—east 24, maybe 25 celsius only high teens further north but still feeling pleasant in the sunshine. by the time we get to sunday, the cloud and the rain and drizzle will have supped rain and drizzle will have slipped further south, so a grey start across the southeast, but it should brighten up here. 1 or 2 showers here and there. some rain in shetland, but for many sunday's dry. quite a lot of cloud, but i think we'll still see some sunny spells coming through. but still on the cool

side for most with temperatures generally only in the high teens. bye for now . teens. bye for now. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news

six. top organisers have just stop oil or nicked at an east london soup night, while the police finally getting tough on climate fanatics. i'll be joined by one of them in the studio later to discuss it , by one of them in the studio later to discuss it, and a right royal return because princess anne leaves hospital today and could another royal return to the spotlight as speculation grows at the princess of wales could attend wimbledon next week to hand out trophies? how wonderful that would be. and an astonishing story. as a 12 year old jewish boy was visited by a prevent counter—terrorism officer and the police after he posted on social media. i want to see hamas obliterated and then they tried to confiscate his wooden toy crossbow that apparently had the power of a potato gun . we'll speak to the potato gun. we'll speak to the activist who's helping the boy to get justice. and that's all coming in your next hour. watch

the show. always a delight to have your company. what a tv debate that was last night between joe biden and donald trump . been called a car crash. trump. been called a car crash. a medical emergency, not a night at all. a night to forget for joe biden, were many saying he already probably has. and this side of the pond, the furore over the reform party activist who's been booted out the party rumbles on. rishi sunak issued an emotional response to that. nigel farage on the counter offensive will have a full update on the political stories that are gripping us. both sides of the pond . get in touch the of the pond. get in touch the usual way, gbnews.com/yoursay. but before we kick into the next houn but before we kick into the next hour, it's your headlines with cameron walker. >> martin. thank you. good afternoon. it's 4:02. i'm cameron walker here in the gb newsroom. the prime minister says the leader of reform uk has

questions to answer after a video emerged of a campaigner making racist comments. andrew parker was seen making a series of offensive remarks about rishi sunak. he's now apologised but insists he was goaded into making them. rishi sunak says it's part of a broader pattern of behaviour, a warning the clip the following clip contains some offensive language . offensive language. >> when my two daughters have to see and hear reform, people who campaign for nigel farage calling me an effing . it hurts calling me an effing. it hurts and it makes me angry. and i think he has some questions to answer. when you see reform candidates and campaigners seemingly using racist and misogynistic language and opinions seemingly without challenge, i think it tells you something about the culture within the reform party. our politics and country is better than that. it's my duty to call out this corrosive and divisive behaviour . behaviour. >> well. the video was obtained

by channel 4 news. they've rigorously defended the clip's authenticity, but reform uk's leader nigel farage described it as a set up . as a set up. >> someone told us he was an actor, we rang him this morning. the daily telegraph rang him this morning. he denied point blank that he was an actor. it turns out he is an actor. i found his website . he's found his website. he's a well—spoken actor who does something called rough speaking. well, i was in the office when he arrived last saturday and he was doing rough speaking. it was an act right from the very start. >> you've met him? >> you've met him? >> he. i was working and he came in and came up to me and said hello. and then he went out canvassing where the undercover filming took place. and he was rough speaking. he wasn't being himself from day one. i have to tell you, this whole thing is a complete and total set up . complete and total set up. >> well, in a statement, a spokesperson for channel 4 said they strongly stand by what they called rigorous and duly impartial journalism , which they impartial journalism, which they say speaks for itself . well, to say speaks for itself. well, to other news now and police in

tenerife are calling for specialist volunteers to take part in a new large scale search for a missing british teenager. jay slater went missing 12 days ago and police have been scouring cctv footage for his last known movements. the spanish civil guard said in a statement that the latest search would begin at 9:00 local time tomorrow morning in the village of masca. they're asking for volunteers with experience as fire crews and professionals search and rescue . the met search and rescue. the met police says a total of 27 just stop oil supporters have been arrested in a coordinated raid after the group threatened to disrupt summer holidays. four people were arrested on tuesday after being identified at gatwick airport and have since been released on bail. it also comes after six members of the group, some described as being key organisers, were arrested in hackney in east london last night . now hsbc hackney in east london last night. now hsbc is the hackney in east london last night . now hsbc is the latest night. now hsbc is the latest bank to apologise to customers after some were locked out of

their online banking. many people encountered difficulties on what's commonly pay day for workers across the country. it comes after other high street banks saw glitches with virgin money and nationwide also apologising to their customers. to the us now. and president biden clashed with donald trump last night in the first televised debate in the for race the white house. with nearly two months to go until biden's formally nominated as the democrat nominee, the 81 year old had hoped to build more support for his re—election, but the president often struggled to counter donald trump, allowing the former president to make a series of claims without being challenged rather than quashing concerns about his age. joe biden's stilted and shaky performance has reignited concerns within the democratic party over whether he ought to be their nominee . be their nominee. >> eligible for what i've been able to do with the with the covid excuse me , with, dealing covid excuse me, with, dealing with everything we have to do

with, look , if we finally beat with, look, if we finally beat medicare. thank you. >> president, in royal news, princess anne has returned home after several days in hospital with minor injuries and concussion . the 73 year old is concussion. the 73 year old is believed to have been struck by a horse while walking on her gatcombe park estate in gloucestershire on sunday evening. her husband , evening. her husband, vice—admiral sir tim laurence, has thanked the team at southmead hospital in bristol for their care, expertise and kindness and a house in los angeles where marilyn monroe lived and tragically died, has been saved from demolition . it been saved from demolition. it comes after the brentwood home was bought by a couple who lived in a neighbouring property, who planned to replace it with an extension. the city council has now voted unanimously to declare the spanish colonial style home a historical landmark which prevents any substantial alterations. it was the only house ever owned by the hollywood icon. she lived there for six months until her death

to do with, look, if we finally beat medicare. >> thank you, president biden . >> thank you, president biden. >> thank you, president biden. >> it just gets worse the more you watch it. and we're joined now by a former adviser to the clinton and bush administrations, steve gill. steve, always a pleasure to have your company an astonishingly bad night by anybody's reckoning. even cnn, a very pro—biden poll, their own poll afterwards said 67% believed trump won another poll in the daily mail. 68% don't think biden should stand, including 41% of people who voted for the guy in 2020. steve, you've you've spoken into the ears of presidents past and present. what would you say to joe biden this morning, the morning after the night before ? the night before? >> i think words like catastrophe and disaster really don't tell the real story of how bad it was. >> i think that if it's not happening right now, it will

happening right now, it will happen soon. you'll have, you know , president obama, you'll know, president obama, you'll have president clinton go and have president clinton go and have the hard conversation with joe biden that many of us who've had elderly parents and have to ask for them to give us their car keys. it's not a pleasant conversation, but it's time for joe to give up the car keys , joe to give up the car keys, whether it's as the nominee or whether it's as the nominee or whether it's as president . to whether it's as president. to me, beyond the political implications of the horrific performance, is that this man is president of the united states, that he is the leader of the free world. he has his finger on the nuclear button. he is incapable of doing the job, and they need to remove him from the position of power, not just the political prospects . political prospects. >> now, steve, what's happening right now is that donors, major donors are getting itchy feet. they're thinking, what's the point? putting our money behind this man, mark buehrle has just said, do we have time to put somebody else out there? one adviser to the democratic party has just said to politico, our only hopes is that he either

bows out. we have a brokered convention or he dies. is it really as bad as that ? really as bad as that? >> i think it is. and the problem is that the logistics of removing him as president, problem is that the logistics of removing him as president , they removing him as president, they can invoke the 25th amendment. they can say he's mentally incompetent . and that makes incompetent. and that makes kamala harris president. how is she then, not the democrat nominee for president ? if they nominee for president? if they have a brokered convention, are they going to throw the black woman out and think that they're going to keep their black base, the logistics of doing this and the logistics of doing this and the timeline of making any change is so narrow. now, you have the biden team today saying he is not going anywhere. he is staying in, and he's looking forward to the september debate. but that's usually what people say just before they bow out. >> now, steve, a lot of people have been asking questions for a long time about joe biden's mental wherewithal. they were shot down as ageist or right wing or conspiracy theorist. but this wasn't a great surprise to those of us who've been watching

this closely. why do you think it is, though, steve gill, that there seems to be a peculiar type of blindness about this within the democratic organisation itself? is it because they're so anti donald trump? they're so determined to stand by their man no matter what the costs . they may have what the costs. they may have put the entire party and the country in peril. >> you know i think part of it is just the trump derangement syndrome. they hate donald trump more than they love america. i think the other is those in the inner circle that have power, don't want to lose power. and frankly, they see the real joe biden, the 16 people who were preparing him , they knew what preparing him, they knew what was coming. they've seen what was coming. they've seen what was coming. they've seen what was coming for months . while was coming for months. while they've said behind the scenes, he's sharp as a knife , he's not he's sharp as a knife, he's not as sharp as those rounded scissors. kindergarteners use. and jill biden, his wife, ought to be prosecuted for elder abuse because she better than anybody else, knows the truth. and yet they have continued this facade to keep themselves in power. and thatis

to keep themselves in power. and that is despicable. >> now, steve, there was a particularly haunting moment last night at the very, very end of the debate when the first lady was helping joe biden off the stage. and can't we just all agree this isn't funny anymore? this isn't something that's worthy of even mocking it looks really, really unfair. it looks like a person to many, many people. steve gill, that he shouldn't be put out there like this. it almost looks cruel. >> yeah. and i think that some are pushing back at trump saying, you know, he was too mean to this doddering old man. keepin mean to this doddering old man. keep in mind that his own justice department has decided not to prosecute him because he's incompetent to be able to stand trial, but he's still president of the united states. i think it is cruel that his inner circle is keeping him in a position that is destroying any remaining integrity or or credibility that he might have , credibility that he might have, just as they try to hold on, on to power . and yet you see just as they try to hold on, on to power. and yet you see this guy, you see him being helped off the stage, can barely walk,

can barely talk. and yet we're to believe, as he claimed last night, he has a six handicap in golf, this guy can't walk upstairs, much less up a golf coui'se. >> course. >> now, steve gill, briefly, if we could, gavin newsom, the governor of california, is being tipped as the most likely candidate to succeed biden if that happens. but here's a man not without his own problems. only 44% of californians like him, and he's left the state. $38 billion in debt . $38 billion in debt. >> and when we talk about personal attacks on trump keep in mind that gavin newsom slept with his campaign manager's wife, had to go in rehab for drugs. there's a whole sordid story there . again, the story there. again, the logistics of how you move kamala aside, how you move him in, how you do it in a very quick way. keepin you do it in a very quick way. keep in mind hundreds of thousands, millions of people have voted in the democratic primaries for joe have voted in the democratic primaries forjoe biden to be primaries for joe biden to be their nominee. now they're going to have a handful go into a dark room and throw him out. that's the democracy that they want us to defend. that sounds more like zelenskyy cancelling elections.

this is not democracy at work. and americans ought to be appalled . appalled. >> okay, steve gill, it's always a pleasure to have your expert insight. a former adviser there to the clinton and bush administrations, thank you very much for joining administrations, thank you very much forjoining us. now, we'll much for joining us. now, we'll have lots more on that story, of course, at 5:00. and there's plenty of coverage on our website, gbnews.com. you've helped to make it the fastest growing national news website in the country. so thank you very much. now it's the final day to see how you could win our summer giveaway . 15 grand tax free cash giveaway. 15 grand tax free cash and a whole host of goodies on top now. lines close at 5:00. they got just under 45 minutes to make sure that you don't miss out. here's all the details that you need to enter. >> it's the final week to see how you could win big this summer. first, there's a fabulous £15,000 in tax free cash to ensure this summer is special. what would you spend that on next? you'll also receive the latest iphone 15 and a set of apple airpods and finally, £500 to spend at your

welcome back. it's coming up to 4:20. i'm martin daubney on gb news now. the fallout from the so—called reform racism row has continued, with prime minister rishi sunak saying the offensive remarks made a reform uk canvasser about him both hurt and angered him. while reform uk leader nigel farage has condemned the comments made by andrew parker, but claims that they were a set up. well, let's discuss this further now with the foreign, commonwealth and development office minister, anne—marie trevelyan. welcome to the show, anne—marie. so let's start off on this rather unsavoury story of the reform activist who's now been kicked out of the party. what's your take on this episode ? >> well, 7- >> well, i ? >> well, i mean, the 7 >> well, i mean, the whole ? >> well, i mean, the whole thing is just appalling. >> it's so depressing than a political party that doesn't vet their people well enough to find out their views, and the

likelihood of them sharing these vile comments. i'm glad the prime minister was given a chance to give his view, and i think i know him well, and i think i know him well, and i think he will have been hurt, but also angry. and not for only himself, but for all those who give so much to our great nation, by virtue of their efforts, their skills, nothing to do with their family heritage i >> -- >> it's a difficult job for any political party to stay on top of every single person who gets involved on a street level. as you know yourself, people come and go in politics all the time. are you satisfied? we can all agree that this guy has been kicked out of the party grade a moron, people like that have no place in the political hemisphere whatsoever. are you satisfied, though, that nigel farage and the right thing just got rid of him as quickly as possible? >> yes. i'm pleased to see that he has, done that. that man will, of course, still be on the ballot paper, because that's how it works for us as candidates, once the nominations are closed ,

once the nominations are closed, you are the name on the ballot until such time as the election is called. so, it's not quite as straightforward as that, but, yes, it's good to see that he has at least demonstrated, some, clarity of purpose there , but clarity of purpose there, but it's just unacceptable, that people think that those sorts of comments are in any way appropriate in the modern political environment. we are a genuinely, fantastic multi—faith genuinely, fantastic multi —faith genuinely, fantastic multi—faith , multicultural society. and, to think that people like that think that people like that think there's a place in modern politics is just profoundly depressing. >> yeah. and of course, we've seen allegations too. we're seeing green party councillor shouting allahu akbar. we're seeing all sorts of anti—semitism within the labour party as well. but let's move on now , if we can, to education and now, if we can, to education and the conservative party launched a new education plan today. tell us more . us more. >> us more. >> so i think it's, continuing obviously the, enormously good work that we've done over the

last 14 years. we had, very low numbers of good or outstanding schools when, we came into office back in 2010. and now nine out of ten are good or outstanding . that level of outstanding. that level of commitment, the incredible change that we've seen, the investment by our amazing teachers, i've got fantastic schools up here, in northumberland, where, you know, the challenges are not always the challenges are not always the same across the country, but we've had teachers who have really taken, the, the direction that apollo said and going forwards, that continued investment that we've set out will be key. what really worries me is that some of labour's, class war attacks on particularly independent schools , education risks creating problems not for only those children whose parents have made a separate choice for often many reasons, particularly around special educational needs, but also for those schools that are already full. so what conservatives will continue to do is invest and grow, particularly personally. it's very important to me around the special educational needs, i

have a child now, grown up, who needed that support. and to see that and i've just, you know, i worry that we, risk seeing, surrendering to labour that incredible loss of all those huge improvements that we've seen. best reading, for children in the western world. now, number 11, in maths globally, these are incredible improvements that our kids and our teachers have made. and we want to see that continue. >> and anne—marie, i know you have to dash in a minute, but i need to ask you about are you concerned about the direction of travel, particularly around gender ideology? and if we do see a change of government, do you think we could see some worrying things creeping into schools about what our children are taught about gender? >> so, we've obviously set out very clearly the concerns that we would continue and bring in, the work that we started with gillian keegan as our secretary of state for education, has led on making sure, a number of things, obviously within the conversation around, identifying, biological sex within the equalities act, but within the equalities act, but

within schools to make sure that parents can see everything that their children are being taught . their children are being taught. thatis their children are being taught. that is so important, that transparency that connection between, the school and what they're helping your child to learn and develop and the parents responsibility as well in that education process . we in that education process. we need that transparency. and i do worry that labour are not proposing to continue the great work that gillian has set up in that. and i want to make sure that. and i want to make sure that all our kids and our parents know exactly what they're learning. >> excellent stuff. thanks for joining us on the show. pleasure to have your company. and marie trevelyan, thank you very much indeed. now, moving on a 12 year old jewish boy is under investigation by counter—terrorism officers after he said that he wanted hamas to be wiped out. gb news can reveal this story because the boy's family, who have requested anonymity of course, have been interviewed by counter—terrorism police and local police officers about a fear of radicalisation after his comments about hamas. it's an astonishing story and to talk about it, i'm joined by gb

news reporter charlie peters, who investigated this story. charlie, a 12 year old jewish boy . hardly charlie, a 12 year old jewish boy. hardly al—qaeda. tell us more. well this boy, we understand, was reported to prevent the government's counter—extremism duty and body by the safeguarding lead at his school. >> we understand the families from south tyneside. we're not identifying the school or the family. but this report was made after the teacher asked this boy, just 12 years old, is there anything in the news that's upsetting you at the moment? and he's understood to have said, yes, hamas , reacting to the war yes, hamas, reacting to the war ongoing between israel and hamas in the west bank, etc, and is then understood to have been saying that he wants them to be wiped out. now hamas, we should stress, is a proscribed terrorist organisation. the government's position on this is that it should be destroyed. it should suffer. but as it happens , the report from the family is that this was then passed on to those counter—extremism officers. and we've heard an

audio recording of a police officer and a counter—extremism officer and a counter—extremism officer interviewing the boy's parents alongside a representative from fair cop called harry miller. he's assessed this case and he's representing and supporting the family, as they say that this is an overreach and an unacceptable use of police powers to interfere with quite legitimate speech. now, in other areas where they've they've sought to present this boy as potentially being radicalised. the officers have also referred to footage posted online of the boy holding a toy crossbow. we have some footage that we can show you now of the boy, just 12, holding a crossbow. it's from, national heritage. it's a toy, i should stress. it's not something that could injure anyone, but the parents are understood to have been asked by the police in an interview at their home whether or not because of this crossbow , or not because of this crossbow, if they had any air rifles at home, did they had any knives? so they were asking whether or not they had weapons in the

household. they also went on to ask questions about, the views in the household on the situation in israel is this potentially a situation where the parents are radicalising their child? so all very controversial. some of it reportedly stems from the child being bullied at school, reportedly stems from the child being bullied at school , facing being bullied at school, facing some appalling taunts based on the fact that he's jewish, asking him in the pe changing room if the showers there remind him of the gas chambers, that's what his mother told us, saying that he's been facing that sort of taunting and abuse. now. teachers, she say, would have been able to have heard that. and they've also alleged this family that the school have been duped by these bullies. they are passing on and misreporting this child's comments in order to get him in trouble. and that's where prevent the counter—extremism body has intervened . body has intervened. >> that's a toy crossbow. we saw it on the screen . there could it on the screen. there could barely knock a tin can off a

wall. he's he's he's undergone comments at school . wall. he's he's he's undergone comments at school. he's wall. he's he's he's undergone comments at school . he's gone wall. he's he's he's undergone comments at school. he's gone on social media. he's 12. comments at school. he's gone on social media. he's12. he's a 12 year old boy saying he wants a proscribed terrorist organisation to be eradicated, which, by the way, is the position of most western governments. why on earth are counter—terrorism cops getting involved? >> sure, this isn't necessarily the kind of space they could and should be getting involved with, but i think it's worth looking at the story through the perspective and in the knowledge and the context of the shawcross review into prevent loss. now, this is a government mandated review of the government's counter—extremism duty, and it found, according to sir william shawcross, he made 34 recommendations. but he said that prevent had lost its way. it had failed to adequately identify the real extremist risks in society. all too often it was prosecuting those who were not deserving of prosecution , and it had missed prosecution, and it had missed legitimate and serious targets . legitimate and serious targets. he also said in a response to a

progress report released earlier this year in february, that he felt as though britain had become less safe since the israel—hamas war started , and israel—hamas war started, and that the government was not sufficiently targeting hamas sympathisers. i've spoken to several groups involved in this sort of oversight. uk lawyers for israel told me that all too often the government's not sufficiently prosecuting hamas sympathisers and at the same time they're going after a kid who says that they should be wiped out. that's a proscribed terrorist organisation . surely terrorist organisation. surely that's the view of the state. >> charlie peters is an astonishing story, but well done for bringing it to our attention. thank you for joining me here in the studio. and i have a joint statement here from northumbria police and counter terrorism policing north east, who said this. we are unable to discuss individual cases or identify anyone who may or may not be the subject of a prevent referral . all referrals are referral. all referrals are treated in the strictest confidence and will always prioritise the safety and welfare of those concerned. prevent is a multi—agency approach to safeguarding and

supporting those most at risk of radicalisation through early intervention . it seeks to intervention. it seeks to protect young and vulnerable people against all forms of extremist activity , regardless extremist activity, regardless of ideology. as a force, northumbria police is committed to supporting its diverse communities. we make it our mission to forge strong relationships and we are here to offer support wherever it is needed. well, i'll be joined by harry miller, the founder of cop, about quarter past five, to discuss this in more detail. thank you very much, charlie. and there's lots more still to come between now and 5:00. as police nick six just stop oil activists at a soup night or the police finally cracking down on the climate fanatics i'll be joined with by one of them soon. hopefully they won't have any soup on them. but first, it's your latest news headlines with cameron walker. >> martin. thank you. it's 431. i'm cameron walker here in the gb newsroom. the prime minister

says the leader of reform uk has questions to answer after a video emerged of a campaigner making racist comments. andrew parker was seen making a series of offensive remarks about rishi sunak. he's now apologised but insists he will, goaded into making them rishi sunak says it's part of a broader pattern of behaviour . a warning the of behaviour. a warning the following clip contains some offensive language. >> when my two daughters have to see and hear reform , people who see and hear reform, people who campaigned for nigel farage calling me an effing it hurts and it makes me angry. and i think he has some questions to answer when you see reform candidates and campaigners seemingly using racist and misogynistic language and opinions seemingly without challenge, i think it tells you something about the culture within the reform party. our politics and country is better than that . it's my duty to call than that. it's my duty to call out this corrosive and divisive behaviour. >> well, nigel farage said

earlier that the comments have no place in the party and describes the secretly recorded video as a setup. >> someone told us he was an actor . we >> someone told us he was an actor. we rang him this morning. the daily telegraph rang him this morning. he the daily telegraph rang him this morning . he denied point this morning. he denied point blank that he was an actor. it turns out he is an actor. i found his website. he's a well—spoken actor who does something called rough speaking. well, i was in the office when he arrived last saturday and he was doing rough speaking. it was an act right from the very start. >> you've met him. >> you've met him. >> he . i was working and he came >> he. i was working and he came in and came up to me and said hello. and then he went out canvassing where the undercover filming took place. and he was rough speaking. he wasn't being himself from day one. i have to tell you , this whole thing is a tell you, this whole thing is a complete and total setup . complete and total setup. >> well, in a statement, a spokesperson for channel 4 said they strongly stand by what they call rigorous and duly impartial journalism, which they say speaks for itself . meanwhile, speaks for itself. meanwhile, police in tenerife are calling

for specialist volunteers to take part in a new large scale search for a british teenager, jay slater went missing 12 days ago and police have been scouring cctv footage for his last known movements. the spanish civil guard said in a statement that the latest search would begin at 9:00 local time tomorrow in the village of masca. well, those are the latest gb news headlines. for now, i'm cameron walker, more in half an hour for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code , alerts by scanning the qr code, or go to gbnews.com. >> forward slash alerts . >> forward slash alerts. >> forward slash alerts. >> thank you very much, cameron. now if you want to get in touch, simply go to gbnews.com/yoursay and i'll read out the best of your comments a little in the show. i'm

>> this is gb news and we are britain's election channel. >> this vote may seem to be about the politicians and the media, but it's actually about you. we won't forget that. >> join us up and down the country as we follow every moment together. >> more than ever, it's important to hear all sides as you make your decision in the run up to polling day. >> this is gb news. >> this is gb news. >> the people's channel, britain's election . britain's election. channel. >> welcome back. your time is 438. i'm martin daubney this is gb news now. dozens of just stop oil supporters have been arrested across england for reportedly planning to disrupt airports. this summer. the metropolitan police confirmed that 27 people have been taken into custody under the public order act, which makes it to

illegal conspire to disrupt national infrastructure and here's a clip of the moment some of them were arrested . of them were arrested. >> are you seeing this at this time? >> everyone is detained at this time. >> okay. the time is 1847. >> okay. the time is 1847. >> okay. the time is 1847. >> okay. you're under arrest for conspiracy, causing interference to infrastructure in the uk. >> okay, i've come here for sukh. >> you don't have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you may made beginning with this. >> okay, so the grounds are that by taking part in the organisation of this event, this evening, i suspect that you are taking part to plot to cause serious disruption to uk airports. >> the politicians have failed us. us. >> us. >> they failed us with 1.5% were supposed to degrees that supposed to degrees that supposed to. >> people say good luck everybody , hi. so my name is everybody, hi. so my name is daniel. i'm being arrested. i'm not really sure why. i'm at my parents house right now, i was just here in london visiting my parents. i think i've been told i'm under arrest for conspiracy to commit public nuisance, well, this is what happens when you

weaken the british state. >> well, they're certainly just stopped the soup. and i'm joined now in the studio by just stop oil spokesperson, doctor kirsh. naga thanks for joining oil spokesperson, doctor kirsh. naga thanks forjoining us, naga thanks for joining us, doctor naga. so on the one hand people would say good on them. this is proactive policing. just stop oil have no right to angle gnnd stop oil have no right to angle grind their way into airports, disrupt the travel plans of thousands and that could give ideas to terrorists. so they should have been arrested. >> but what you need to look at is the actual laws and powers that the police have used in arresting these people is actually a law that was passed just last year saying that it's a criminal offence and you can be sent up to 12 months in prison for , attempting to prison for, attempting to interfere with key national infrastructure. >> but that law has actually been very, very broadly defined. >> and towards the end of last yean >> and towards the end of last year, actually , the police were year, actually, the police were using this power against just stop oil to stop people protesting by stepping into the

road in parliament square, because parliament square is an a road and therefore deemed part of key national infrastructure . of key national infrastructure. >> but but it is a part of key infrastructure. for example, when ambulances can't get through, when emergency response vehicles can't get through, we've seen time and time again huge frustration for working people who can't get to work. but back to this particular instance, airports should quite rightly be very heavily protected, not just in case of people's disruption. in terms of holidays. don't suppose just stop oil give a damn about that. but actually it's a very, very dangerous thing to do. you could give ideas to all sorts of dodgy characters who might have a bit more than some orange spray paint, but the problem with having such a broadly defined law is that you then completely leave it in the hands of the police to interpret when they want to enforce that. >> right. >> right. >> so people take part in protest marches around parliament square all of the time, and they're not all being arrested under section seven of the public order act. >> but when just stop oil but they get permission for those marches and apply for a license

and tell the police that's a separate thing altogether. >> when your angle grinding through through a fence and getting on to a runway , that's getting on to a runway, that's a completely different matter. and these laws , actually kush, were these laws, actually kush, were brought in to stop just stop oil because the police were standing off and soft , because the police were standing off and soft, soaping you with tea and sympathy for months and months and months. they had to change the law to actually just stop. just stop oil. >> okay, well, if you're worried about the disruption to national infrastructure, then actually have a listen to what david attenborough said when he spoke to the un security council, just ahead of the when uk was hosting the cop, he described that the effects of extracting and burning oil and gas is the biggest threat to our national security. >> but how will stopping people get getting to magaluf for seven days holiday have anything to do with that? >> but what you need to realise is that if we've got these laws that say that we're meant to protect national infrastructure from interference, then actually why are these laws not being used against the oil and gas

executives or the politicians who are allowing us to continue extracting and burning fossil fuels because it's government policy to do so, and it remains government policy to do so. >> it's not to illegal extract oil. it is illegal to angle gnnd oil. it is illegal to angle grind your way onto a runway. and that could be a potential terrorist threat. the law is the law. >> you break it of the climate emergency will disrupt roads. it will disrupt rail, it will disrupt airports. and not only will it disrupt those that are listed on the public order act, it will also threaten our food supply, our access to clean water, our access to clean air. >> it will threaten health systems. >> i work as a doctor in the nhs , and we actually need to prepare for the effects that the climate emergency is now bringing because of increases in infectious disease outbreaks, because of increases in people suffering from heat stroke. >> but the uk has hit its targets consistently way in advance of many other nations and net zero targets. some of the some of the most punitive in the some of the most punitive in the western world. why are you going to protest in china? chain

yourself to a runway in beijing, see what happens there? >> well, there have been protests, actually, just outside the chinese embassy this week against their role in financing the east african crude oil pipeline. >> so i think it's disingenuous to suggest that no one is targeting the chinese. >> no, i'm just saying that as a british citizen, there's a global pollution. you know, britain is way, way ahead of its targets. we're and it's making people poorer and colder. >> but britain also , sparked off >> but britain also, sparked off the industrial revolution. and we have benefited from the development that this country has seen from there's been more use of oil and gas. >> there's been more pollution in the last ten years from china than than in the entire industrial revolution from the uk since the start. >> the world's biggest polluters aren't britain. i put it to you again. why don't you go and protest in countries like china or saudi arabia or qatar? we know why, because they just bang you straight up in jail. and that's what's happening in britain. and now you don't like it. >> but isn't that terrifying to

you? the fact that protesters, evenin you? the fact that protesters, even in this country are being treated just as they would in these other authoritarian regimes? what happened to freedom of speech in this country? >> what happened to democracy? >> what happened to democracy? >> because the police can selectively use these powers to shut down protests before they even begin. it's now reaching the territory where it's becoming a thought crime to even take part in a protest that the government doesn't like, because that's what that's what this means is that if the government doesn't like your protest, they can come along and send the police to arrest you. >> or you could say that just stop oil activists said that what they did at stansted, where they got the wrong taylor swift jet, by the way, they said that was a taste of things to come, a summer of chaos. that was your own words that was leaked out. so you've been hung by your own petard. this is simply acting on intelligence and cutting out a threat to national security . threat to national security. >> but taking disruptive action has been shown throughout history to be effective in creating large societal change at the rate that we need it

right now. do you think you're winning this thing? do you think you're winning the court of pubuc you're winning the court of public opinion? >> because i don't. >> because i don't. >> well, i think that people are now far more concerned about the climate crisis and demanding that their politicians act on it, and that is because of actions that just stop oil have taken getting it into the media, getting people talking about this, and so i would say that in that in that sense, yes, it has been a success. >> people are talking about it, but in a good way. look at the pictures on the screen there of stonehenge being desecrated by these morons. people are talking about that kush. but do you think that's being talked about in a good way ? in a good way? >> so people might not like it that we have put this cornstarch onto stonehenge, and that's absolutely fine. but what that sparks is a conversation about the climate emergency. and when people talk about the climate emergency, it does make them realise that this is something that their politicians need to act on. >> and at the moment, the tories are failing on it, labour is failing on it. and so we need a

real commitment to end the use of oil, gas and coal by 2030 and for our government to sign up to an international treaty to phase out fossil fuels. >> well, very eloquently put, and thank you very much for coming in and defending your position. just stop oil spokesperson, doctor kushinagar, thank you very much for coming in and explaining that to us here on gb news. now coming up, could kate make a royal return next week at wimbledon and the latest as princess anne leaves hospital? i martin daubney on gb news. britain's news channel

>> this is gb news and we are britain's election channel. >> this vote may seem to be about the politicians and the media, but it's actually about you. we won't forget that. >> join us up and down the country as we follow every moment together. >> more than ever, it's important to hear all sides as you make your decision in the run up to polling day.

>> this is gb news. >> this is gb news. >> the people's channel, britain's election . britain's election. channel. >> welcome back 10 to 5 i'm martin daubney on gb news now. speculations have been made as to whether or not the princess of wales will attend wimbledon this year, as she continues her treatment for cancer. now officials say that they will give princess catherine as much flexibility as possible, but they are hopeful that she will present trophies to the champions. wouldn't that be marvellous? well, joining me now to discuss this, to tell me more is the royal broadcaster , helena is the royal broadcaster, helena chard helena, welcome to the show . so as we as we found out show. so as we as we found out at trooping the colour, cath catherine has good days and bad days. many, many people will be hoping we can see another one of those good days. and what a tremendous spectacle it would be to see catherine giving out trophies at wimbledon . trophies at wimbledon. >> absolutely. i mean, we're all

gunning for it. and i know, you know, tennis gives princess of wales so much joy. so as much as we want to see her there, we want her there as well to because obviously it gets her through her treatment and we know she has good days and bad days, but i know that she's going to be there and i, i just, you know, she really will light up the royal box. everyone will be so excited to see her. as well as giving out the trophies. but i think that's next month, isn't it? so i hope we can have a little bit of both things, it would be just so great just to see her there. it would be perfect. she obviously is such a fantastic tennis player. we know that she's the patron of the england lawn tennis club. as well. and, you know, seeing her play, i think it was last year with federer and sort of cheer on the ball, boys and girls. and she really does empower and inspire, and it's everything she's about as well. she knows that in wimbledon inspires young people to get involved in tennis, in the sport, which is

something that she wants to be part of. and, you know, we love to see her looking glamorous and we miss that. and it was so lovely to see her at trooping the colour, and again, it would be lovely to see her. you know, again looking radiant as she did. but, just to remember, she looks just as great as she's so sporty and looks wonderful just running around, you know , in her running around, you know, in her tennis gear or a tracksuit just with her hair loose, it's just a lovely, elegant look as well. and that's something i think. which is a good look to, to portray to everyone at the moment. so we really, really hope that that that's going to be the case. i'm pretty sure we will see her. that's a feeling i get . absolutely. get. absolutely. >> well, you've certainly built the moment up there. fantastic. so now we've got a quick minute to quickly talk about princess anne, princess royal, her recovery . recovery. >> oh, absolutely. >> oh, absolutely. >> princess anne called princess anne. i bet she was climbing the walls. that's what i do know, you know, i'm so pleased that she's been released. and i know that she'll be itching to get back to work. she's so dutiful.

she's. which is all about, you know, getting out there and meeting the people. and, i mean , meeting the people. and, i mean, southmead hospital, obviously in bristol, have looked after her. so timothy lawrence is saying, you know, she's doing fine, slow, but sure, i mean, she would like to be there out there working next week. i'm sure she was due to be in scotland, i think, and she would be love to be there. i know that she suffered concussion. i think that was in nine. you know, when she was at the olympics. but that was a long time ago, 1976 i think. okay, because she's a little bit older . little bit older. >> she has to helena chard i'm afraid we have to leave it there. i know you could talk all day on this, but we have to leave it there. fantastic to have your company. thank you very much. now coming up with top democrat officials calling for him to go, is joe biden now completely toast? i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel. now your weather with alex deakin. >> a brighter outlook with boxt

solar sponsors of weather on gb news >> afternoon. welcome along to your latest weather update from the met office here on gb news. a fresher feel out there, certainly compared to earlier in the week. many of us having a fine end to the working week. it's just not particularly warm andifs it's just not particularly warm and it's still quite gusty across northern scotland. plenty of showers packing in here, 1 or 2 showers across southern scotland and northern england through the evening and overnight, but most places will be dry some lengthy clear spells in the east, but it will cloud over further west during the early hours, staying quite warm under that clouds but with some clearer skies, will easily see temperatures dropping down into single figures . still quite single figures. still quite breezy in northern scotland on saturday. a few showers here, but much of scotland dry and fine, with some good spells of sunshine and plenty of sunshine across the south as well. a fine day to come for east anglia and the south east, but in these more central parts through wales, northern england, much more cloud and there will be some rain and drizzle too,

particularly to the west of northern england and across the north, and the west of wales. some brighter skies across the north of northern ireland. sunny spells for most of scotland, but there will be more showers packing in across the far north. not as windy here as today, but still a noticeable and fairly chilly breeze. the cloud should tend to drift away from northern ireland through the day, so belfast brightening up through the morning along with parts of southern scotland but much of northwest england north and west wales likely to stay fairly drab. some rain and drizzle, especially over coasts and hills and cooler here as a result. but some warmth across the south—east 24, maybe 25 celsius only high teens further north but still feeling pleasant in the sunshine. by the time we get to sunday, the cloud and the rain and drizzle will have supped rain and drizzle will have slipped further south, so a grey start across the southeast, but it should brighten up here. 1 or 2 showers here and there. some rain in shetland, but for many sunday's dry. quite a lot of cloud, but i think we'll still see some sunny spells coming through but still on the cool

side for most, with temperatures generally only in the high teens. by for now looks like things are heating up . things are heating up. >> boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news

misogynistic language and opinions seemingly without challenge, i think it tells you something about the culture within the reform party. our politics and country is better than that . it's my duty to call than that. it's my duty to call out this corrosive and divisive behaviour . behaviour. >> when nigel farage said earlier that the comments have no place in the party and describes the secretly recorded video as a set up, someone told us he was an actor. >> we rang him this morning. the daily telegraph rang him this morning . he denied point blank morning. he denied point blank that he was an actor. it turns out he is an actor. i found his website. he's a well—spoken actor who does something called rough speaking. well, i was in the office when he arrived last saturday and he was doing rough speaking. it was an act right from the very start. >> you've met him? >> you've met him? >> he. i was working and he came in and came up to me and said hello. and then he went out canvassing where the undercover filming took place. and he was rough speaking. he wasn't being himself from day one. i have to

tell you this whole thing is a complete and total setup. >> well, in a statement, a spokesperson for channel 4 says they strongly stand by what they called rigorous and duly impartial journalism, which they say speaks for itself . say speaks for itself. meanwhile, lawyers for two people who became sick after eating sandwiches containing e coli have started legal action against tesco and asda. the claims, related to an 11 year old girl from the north—west of england who ate a chicken salad sandwich. she's now been on dialysis for three weeks after falling ill. separate legal action is also being taken against tesco on behalf of a man who says he regularly purchased sandwiches for his lunch. at least 122 people have been admitted to hospital since the start of the outbreak, which has also led to the recall of wraps and salads sold at several major retailers. police in tenerife are calling for specialist volunteers to take place in a

challenged. rather than quashing concerns about his age. joe biden. biden's stilted and shaky performance has reignited concerns within the democratic party over whether he ought to be their nominee. in royal news now, princess anne has returned home after several days in hospital with minor injuries and concussion. the 73 year old is believed to have been struck by a by a horse while walking on the gatcombe park estate in gloucestershire on sunday evening . her husband, vice evening. her husband, vice admiral sir tim laurence, has thanked the team at southmead hospital in bristol for their care, expertise and kindness . care, expertise and kindness. well, those are the latest gb news headlines. for now i'm cameron walker. more in half an hour for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code , or go to gbnews.com the qr code, or go to gbnews.com forward slash alerts .

forward slash alerts. >> thank you cameron . now, after >> thank you cameron. now, after a decidedly rocky debate performance last night, senior figures in the democratic party are now contemplating removing joe biden as the party's presumptive nominee and replacing him with someone else at the party's august convention, joe biden appeared confused at times in the debate last night, and let's take a quick look at one of those moments eligible for what i've been able to do with the with the covid, excuse me, with, deaung the covid, excuse me, with, dealing with everything we have to do with, look , if we finally to do with, look, if we finally beat medicare. >> thank you, president biden . >> thank you, president biden. >> thank you, president biden. >> it just gets worse the more you see it, isn't it? and we're joined now by the spokesperson for republicans overseas uk, errol malkovitch. errol welcome to the show. thanks for joining us.the to the show. thanks for joining us. the dust has settled on the debate . his own supportive media

debate. his own supportive media platform , cnn. 67% of those platform, cnn. 67% of those there think donald trump won that debate. and a daily mail poll overnight, 68% think biden should not stand, including 41% of his own, of his own voters in 2020. and now top donors are simply saying somebody else has got to stand and his own advisers are saying it was painful to watch. he has to go. errol is there any way that joe biden should stay on as the president nominee? the candidate for the democratic party? >> it's two answers to that question. >> on one hand, for the voters, for the sake of the country, for the sake of ethics, all of these decent reasons . no, but joe decent reasons. no, but joe biden is a zombie candidate. >> he's been operated and manipulated by other people. >> and if any other candidate was switched in, they would lose the election. there's a democrat

party inside the democrat party, and that's called joe biden. and while all the advisers and strategists are looking at this and saying, oh my god, we're going to get clobbered , they going to get clobbered, they don't realise that this isn't it isn't it isn't a free market. in the democrat party. we saw what happened with bernie sanders, with hillary clinton, how in the convention, you know, basically some it was it wasn't a free and fair election. and now the same thing is going to happen. but they have the incumbency. they have no reason to back down. they have still 46% of the country supporting them. you know, it is a tight, a tight, a tight window. but they're going to play this out . i don't think to play this out. i don't think that they're going to switch them out. i don't think that joe biden is going to back down. in fact, cnn just reported that the campaign at least has informed them that he will be accepting a second debate and moving forward. so also in joe biden's defence, not of his performance, but in in a statistical sense, the incumbent almost always loses the first debate. so they can point to these losses and this and that and then kind of hope that , okay, that's how won

hope that, okay, that's how won in the first time. we still have a second one to go. so because he's a zombie candidate, he's not actually running the country, his handlers don't want the democrat party to win. they want to win with joe biden. and that's the ultimate problem that's the ultimate problem that's facing democrat voters and a lot of those people are going to start looking for maybe rfk jr, or even considering voting for donald trump . as the voting for donald trump. as the economy and global politics situation continues to disintegrate. >> but arrow , we saw an >> but arrow, we saw an astonishing video from the donald trump war room. trump's own campaign put a video out that entirely consisted of clips of joe biden, of him corpsing of him not being able to remember what he was saying. donald trump didn't say a word in his own attack video. they were simply using footage of joe biden freezing up . why would the freezing up. why would the democratic party want to go back for round two of this torture? >> well, again , they're not >> well, again, they're not doing it to win an election. they're doing it to win an election with joe biden, and they can manipulate and change

people's opinions. they feel they have their spokesperson saying, don't believe the videos you see. they're doctored and this and that . honestly, joe this and that. honestly, joe biden did a little bit better than i thought he would. he only completely stalled one time. other times he just rambled incoherently. i expected him to stall 3 or 4 times. so if you know how bad joe biden could have been if you'd been in that camp david coaching session with with his handlers for a week, perhaps they were actually pretty impressed. and they think that he could do better. so that's the where we're at. we're not running on a logic campaign. kamala harris even could probably do better than joe biden at this point. but gavin newsom, gretchen whitmer , these newsom, gretchen whitmer, these people could very well win an election. and they're completely sidelined because there's two factions inside the democrat party. and it's not to the behest of their voters, but it is what's going to happen in november. >> but can you help us understand that this side of the pondin understand that this side of the pond in britain, because somebody who's clearly, you know, struggling to cope with a debate, who's struggling to know where the exit is to a stage,

who's struggling to get up a set of stairs, who's struggling to sit down and sometimes struggling. it would seem to know where he even is. how is that a credible front man for a candidate? how does that work? i mean, the approval ratings have gone down and oddschecker the betting odds overnight says that only 21% chance of joe biden winning that election, surely the most logical thing to do is cut your losses and go with a fresh set of boots. >> yes , on in some respects >> yes, on in some respects i agree. however you would have that, chaos in the in the election. it would look like a movement of weakness . and in the movement of weakness. and in the end he won that election in 2020 by being an avatar candidate. he had the sunglasses, the ice cream cone. he never talked to anybody. this was the first time most of us had heard joe biden speak without, a teleprompter or approved questions in. i can't even remember the last time i maybe the last debate. i don't know . so they the ability for

know. so they the ability for them to believe they can still win this in a propaganda sense, they still have the mechanisms, they still have the mechanisms, they still have the mechanisms, they still have the like hundreds of millions of dollars that have poured in there. yes. they're losing support by rational people. yes. big tech is starting to say, well, hang, hang on a second. these guys are a little bit even too extreme for hollywood and san francisco liberals. and while that might turn on them, they still are going to play those cards out to the end, because that's all they have. they're they're trying to win with joe biden again. they're not trying to win with any other candidate because another candidate would have their own opinions and also would change certain courses on things joe biden does is they tell him to do whoever they are is up for debate. and i'm not here to make a conspiracy. i'm just saying he has an effective apparatus and team, the same people oftentimes who worked for mr barack obama, who are working with joe biden, and these people are running the show. so that's why they won't change it. there's no reason to they would lose if they win with gavin newsom. it's very weird. >> it certainly is fascinating stuff . thanks for trying to make

stuff. thanks for trying to make it slightly more understandable. spokesperson for republicans overseas uk ariel mortkowicz. thank you very much for joining us on the show. and i'm joined now by gb news us correspondent stephen edgington. steve welcome to the show. so straight after that debate last night in america, you took the temperature in that room. it seemed almost universally people felt that donald trump had won . felt that donald trump had won. well, mortar point joe biden had lost. america is waking up now, steve. it's the morning after the night before. tell us, how is the media reacting? how is this playing out over that side of the pond? >> well, the liberal media are a meltdown. i think they've seen their candidate completely fail multiple times in the debate last night when it came to his cognitive abilities, particularly his closing statement, where he sort of rambled on incoherently for around a minute and trump really took advantage of some of these key moments in the debate. i think we've even seen cnn, msnbc, these very left wing media outlets saying biden, he's not the right man to be president at the moment. he

shouldn't be the candidate for the democratic party ahead of november. he simply can't do this for another four years. so it's been an incredible and interesting reaction to this debate. i mean, i think compared to the other debates held in 2016 and 2020, there really has been a shift, you know, the democrats love to say that they won those debates. and in this case, i think it's undeniable, that trump won even the new york times, every single opinion columnist they had writing about the debate said that it was either a draw or that trump had significantly won. so the reaction here on the liberal side of things has been chaos, and i think disappointment on the conservative side of things, people are very happy, obviously, with trump's, trump's performance last night, he was measured. i think the rules kind of worked for him. he didn't interrupt biden very much. he seemed quite moderate compared to his, more shouty moments. so i think conservatives are very

happy with trump's performance last night. >> what about the democratic party machine, steve, we're seeing donors already starting to wobble. are we really going to wobble. are we really going to be shovelling millions of dollars into a guy who doesn't seem to know the difference between a pair of socks, and we've got democratic party donor told politico. off the record, our only hope is that he either bows out, we have a brokered convention, i.e. bows out, we have a brokered convention, le. a negotiation , convention, le. a negotiation, or he dies. is it really getting to the point where they simply feel they cannot replace this guy? but they're desperate to do so? >> well, what we haven't seen is any major figures come out publicly and saying that biden shouldn't be the democratic candidate. we've got these kind of backroom briefings to various news organisations, but what will really change? i think the dial will shift. the dial is if, as if we see these major democratic figures coming out publicly and saying this man cannot be our candidate , the

cannot be our candidate, the democrats are in a real, trouble here because they've got to think about who can replace biden, who can beat donald trump . gavin newsom is one of the names that everyone talks about . names that everyone talks about. he's the governor of california. he's the governor of california. he's very charming. he's very suave. he's quite charismatic. he's very good with the media, however, he is a white man. and in the age of the democratic, you know , politics in 2024, that you know, politics in 2024, that is a huge disadvantage. kamala harris, on the other hand , she's harris, on the other hand, she's a black woman. she's vice president, and i think she has a very good shot of becoming the candidate in ahead of november. if they do remove biden. and she is a very, very weak candidate , is a very, very weak candidate, people hate her here. people think she's inauthentic . people think she's inauthentic. people think she's inauthentic. people think that she's not very bright. she hasn't been a very good vice president. according to the opinion polls. she's even more unpopular than joe biden. so i think the democrats are in a real kerfuffle after what happened last night. >> absolutely. that's just worth checking on the those odds

checkers, steve, is an astonishing only 21% chance of joe biden winning if he stays as the next presidential candidate. gavin newsom is on 14. kamala harris 5.8. so the two candidates in the wings not even matching up to joe biden in the state. he's in astonishing stuff. steve hutchinson, thank you very much for joining us live from america. as america wakes up the morning after the night before that astonishing debate, you get lots more of that story on our website. thanks to you. gbnews.com is the fastest growing national news website in the country. it's got breaking news and all of the brilliant analysis that you've come to expect from us here @gbnews. well coming up, we can see live pictures now of a biden campaign rally in north carolina where the president will be speaking as americans react to his disappointing performance in the first debate. well, they're keeping their spirits up despite everything we saw on screen last night, grinning their best as

they wake up to that debate the morning after the night before. more on that throughout the show. i'm martin daubney on gb news director for the campaign and a

>> this is gb news and we are britain's election channel. >> this vote may seem to be about the politicians and the media, but it's actually about you. >> we won't forget that. >> we won't forget that. >> join us up and down the country as we follow every moment together . moment together. >> more than ever, it's important to hear all sides as you make your decision. >> in the run up to polling day. this is gb news, the people's channel this is gb news, the people's channel, britain's election . channel. >> welcome back. it's 524. i'm martin daubney on gb news now. a 12 year old jewish boy is under

investigation by counter—terrorism officers after he said that he wanted hamas to be wiped out. gb news can reveal the boy's family, who have requested anonymity, have been interviewed by counter—terrorism police officers and also local police officers and also local police about a fear of radicalisation. well, let's speak now to former police officer and the founder of fair cop, harry miller. harry, welcome to the show. an astonishing story. a 12 year old jewish boy with a wooden crossbow, osama bin laden. he ain't. why on earth do counter—terror cops turn up to his door? absolutely no idea. what we do know is that his school, who clearly employ maoist apparatchiks rather than teachers, have listened to the boy in the playground and decided that he is expressing views which they don't like. for instance, he said that he'd like to obliterate hamas. he said that there are only two sexes. he said, i'm gay, not queer. and these people have decided that

this is so serious that they need to get hold of not just the police, but the anti—terrorist police. so they contacted them. and rather than taking up taking this complaint and throwing it in the bin, the chief constable of northumbria, together with prevent , have decided that this prevent, have decided that this person represents a real and present danger. and so they've been to his house. they went there on, on, on tuesday. one of there on, on, on tuesday. one of the things that this boy was seen doing was playing with a wooden bow and arrow. this is the kind of thing that shoots like a potato gun. it has a velocity of about two feet. it is a child's toy. velocity of about two feet. it is a child's toy . but is a child's toy. but nevertheless, the police and the anti—terrorist units have decided that this demonstrates a terrorist mindset and without immediate intervention, this boy was going to end up working for a terrorist organisation. so instead they gone there and they must have decided that a cells come up in guantanamo bay and,

they decided they're going to fill it with 12 year old boys with their bows and arrows. it's absolutely preposterous. martin, ihave absolutely preposterous. martin, i have no words to say what i can say. i was so angry when i met the detective constable and the officer from prevent one. i was angry because they refused to say why they were there. once i appeared, they just said right , that's the meeting over. we're leaving. i followed them out of the house and i said, if you ever show up on this person's doorstep again, i will arrest the pair of you. and they looked at me, gone out, and i said, you just watch me because i will. we do not have in this country a terrorist police force that goes around terrorising 12 year old boys in their parents on council estates in the north—east of england because they happen to believe that there are only two sexes and because they play with boys and bow bows and arrows. it's absolutely disgusting . it's absolutely disgusting. every single chief constable who signs up to this ridiculous

nonsense needs firing, and i would start with chief constable vanessa jardine. she needs to be gone and she needs to be gone by monday morning. it's as simple as that. okay, harry miller, you're clearly, full of beans on this one, and it certainly is an astonishing story. can i ask you on a more human note, how's the lad doing? how is his mother doing ? it's been very, very doing? it's been very, very harrowing for any ordinary family to be put through this kind of a nightmare. well they are bearing up because they know they're on the right side of common sense. what the police did does not pass the pub test. it doesn't pass the common sense test. it's absolutely ridiculous . wow. i think i think harry was getting so, so, animated there . getting so, so, animated there. he's bashed himself off the camera. okay harry, before we get. let's see. let's try and see if we can get harry miller back. it's well worth pointing out that this, this, this, this situation is astonishing. they

also went. they demand that he snapchat details his full social media details. they claimed that he'd they had proof that he'd listened to an israeli parody act called rucka rucka ali, which is a parody act as evidence . this boy had been evidence. this boy had been radicalised. remember this kid is 12. this kid is jewish, and he was visited by counter—terrorism police at his home. he'd also been asked at school, this is on the record by a teacher. if the school showers reminded him of gas chambers. now that's the kind of thing that you think would be said to a jewish child and would traumatise that child that wasn't passed on to the authorities. but this was. and now we have a situation. now we have a situation where basically this 12 year old kid is under investigation. his mother is to harry miller from fair cop, as you heard there has intervened. and now we have a stand off. now, harry miller is a man who

gets results. he won at the high court on freedom of speech issue over a transphobic limerick he allegedly published, and he got the law overturned. harry miller got the law overturned. now he's on the side of this lad. that's kind of person you want in your corner. now we've got a joint statement here we need to read out from northumbria police and the counter terrorism policing nonh the counter terrorism policing north east. and it says this now we are unable to discuss individual cases or identify anyone who may or may not be the subject of a prevent referral or referrals or treated in the strictest confidence and will always prioritise the safety and welfare of those concerned. prevent is a multi—agency approach to safeguarding and supporting those most at risk of radicalisation through early intervention. it seeks to protect young and vulnerable people against all forms of extremist activity, regardless of ideology. as a force,

northumbria police is committed to supporting its diverse communities. we make it our mission to forge strong relationships and we are to here offer support wherever it is needed.so offer support wherever it is needed. so before we go to the news, i want to go through a few of your emails, your essays. i've been asking you for your take on the two big political stories of the day. that's the biden trump debate in america, and also the situation with reform in uk. and let's go through a few of your your essays on the reform situation . essays on the reform situation. anthony says this i'll still vote reform uk no matter what any offence is given in the campaign. you always get bad apples in all campaigns. he's been kicked out. nigel isn't responsible. that's from anthony. peter as this. hopefully the police will be charging someone shortly for their aggravated and racial slur. so peter again saying this is down to the individual involved and not the party. catalan as this reform are now

making terrible racist comments against rishi sunak. their true colours are showing. this is disgraceful. i'll be changing my vote. whereas carol says this, the reform issue looks like a set up. i don't think many believe it was anything but a set up. it certainly won't change my vote. so there we go. you're very divided on that now. there's lots more still to come between now and 6:00, as labour claimed the conservatives are to blame for the recent mortgage bombshell. we'll have a shadow ministerjoining us to ask what minister joining us to ask what a starmer government would do for homeowners in britain. but first, it's time for your latest news headlines with cameron walker . walker. >> martin. thank you. it's 532 i'm cameron walker here in the gb newsroom. the prime minister says the leader of reform uk has questions to answer after a video emerged of a campaigner making racist comments. andrew parker was seen making a series

people feel this could be one of the hidden taxes we might get under a labour government. billions of pounds to hit net zero targets. it will make all of us net poorer. >> well, that's not the case. i can reassure all of your viewers, we will need to be spending money on the decarbonisation process. that is true. but the vast majority of that money will be spent by private companies and investors who own the businesses and run the industry. that needs to decarbonise. so when i talk, as i do all the time to different industries, whether it's those that are at the forefront of all those new renewable energies or whether it's our existing industry who know that they need to decarbonise and are thinking about how they do that, what they want from government is a couple of things. they want stability, they want certainty, a plan. so they know that government is interested in

supporting , for example, supporting, for example, hydrogen or carbon capture, which we are. but we'll do that through a proper industrial strategy that sets out what the government's priorities are and what we need for the country, and then what they want is some help some of the time, which we have set out in our manifesto is fully costed through our windfall tax on oil and gas companies, which will invest in some of these sectors that we know we need to grow. so whether that's hydrogen, whether that's carbon capture, whether that's green steel, whether that's gigafactories , whether it's gigafactories, whether it's upgrading some of our port infrastructure , those are the infrastructure, those are the things where government will step in. but we will want something in return. we will want to have some kind of stake in what is then happening for the communities that are taking that infrastructure and building those and creating those jobs of the future. >> do you think that raising taxes, windfall taxes on oil companies will have the net effect? they just won't bother to invest in the uk? we've already seen the oil companies

saying, why should they passively just come here and get walloped? we live in a globalised world. they can go around the world and not get so punitively taxed, and that will have the net effect, will it not, of just stopping oil. >> so all we are taxing is the windfall. this isn't a permanent tax. this is a tax on the extraordinary profits that people have made as a result of the big shock that we had with ukraine and the changing prices that we saw coming from that. so it is it is a tax that only exists on the excess profits that they have made. and once those excess profits are reduced down, then the windfall tax stops and we are working with the oil and gas companies because there are a lot of people who work in the oil and gas industry. we know that industry is going to diminish over time. i mean, we're going to be using gas for decades to come. we know that. but we will be building the new, renewable industries and what we need to

do as government is what is our role to try and retrain and move people from from the older sectors, the older industries, to the newer so that people can carry on having a job, having security, being able to thrive with good, well—paid jobs. >> is it not more common sense? rather than taxing oil companies to the hilt to deliver and produce within the uk, that means we have to rely on importing 70% of our of our requirements come from fossil fuels, whether we like it or not. that's as a whole, not just at the power point. we can't run cement factories off of wind turbines. surely a more sensible solution is to make it easier and cheaper to generate fossil fuels in britain, not tax them offshore . offshore. >> no, i think you're completely wrong. the cheapest thing to do is to invest in renewable energies, which are much cheapen energies, which are much cheaper, and if we build them in the uk, they're not connected to the uk, they're not connected to the international, oil and gas prices. the problem with oil and gas is that it's connected to

the international prices. so when we had, when russia invaded ukraine and, and all of a sudden the world shifted where it was wanting to buy its oil and gas and not wanting to buy it from russia, the price of everything increased. and we had no control over that. that price increase had nothing to do with what we're producing in this country. it was all about the global price for oil and gas and the world's kind of scramble to get oil and gas from different places. now if we're building our own renewable energy in this country, we become secure because we're in control of that. it's here in this country we doesn't rely on global shocks in the way that we really and, you know, there are reports that show government risk reports that show that if we don't change the way we're producing our energy, there will be another shock further down the line, similar, something else will happen that will equally affect the oil and gas prices. so we need to be self reliant, and we need to work with everyone in industry to get that done. >> yeah. well plan b is we could be self reliant on our own

fossil fuels like america and be insulated from global shocks and rises. now listen i know you want to talk about mortgage rates. let's talk about that. you're saying five years of pain under the conservatives you've got a price of £211 more in monthly mortgage payments under the conservatives how do you work that one out. >> so that's from the ons statistics. that's actually what exists now . so the average exists now. so the average person who's had to remortgage is paying on average according to the ons , about £211 extra a to the ons, about £211 extra a month now in some parts of that country that the parts of the country that the parts of the country that's £1 for every three that family incomes, families have in other parts of the country. it's that's £1 for every two, so this is a huge increase cost as we know, and we know that we need to focus on, supporting families as they go through this crisis. and what we're saying is, if you have five more years of the conservatives, they have £71 billion of unfunded, policies in

their manifesto. if they were to introduce those, then you would have to, you'd have to see the bank of england would, would have no option but to increase interest rates. and we'd all be paying interest rates. and we'd all be paying more on our mortgage. so we need to be really honest with the public about what is affordable and what isn't. and if you look at the conservative manifesto, what they're promising is not affordable. they haven't costed it. and that's why labour has got these six really clear policies that are all funded. they're all costed. so you know what you're getting . you know it's not going getting. you know it's not going to make everything, you know, transform overnight. we're being realistic about that. but we know that these six first steps are really good solid , changes are really good solid, changes to the way the country runs so that people can have more money in their pocket and they can have better public services. >> great surf. well, cheaper mortgages for all is something i think we can all raise a glass to. thank you. hope that works out. shadow industry and decarbonisation minister sarah jones, thank you very much for joining us here on gb news now. coming up, is there any hope for england this sunday or will

gareth southgate be the only thing coming home? i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel

welcome back. it's 10 to 6. one of the final. final furlong. i'm martin daubney on gb news now. time for the sport now as it's a huge weekend. of course, for england's hopes in the euros, the three lions will face slovakia in the round of 16 on sunday after a. it's got to be said of disappointing results in the group stage. well, joining me now, hopefully to cheer me up is football writer harry harris. harry, always a delight to have you on the show . delight to have you on the show. please do your best. i've been absolutely depressed about this tournament so far. can we have some miraculous turnaround? let's go back to 1990. bobby robson did it. we had a terrible start, but it became a story of legends. can we do the same ' 7 m. again? >> yeah, well, i was there in

1990. i take all the credit for all of that, for all the criticism i gave the team, it galvanised them into doing so. well, look, you know, they're not performing well. i think they've overperformed under this manager in the past, and now they're definitely underperforming. it's up to the players. you know, i've never seen such a group of quality young players for some considerable time in in england team. you know really , really team. you know really, really impressive in their clubs. but, you know, they do not look the same players playing for england. i think, a lot to do with the manager. i think, you know, these players have been playing for jurgen klopp know, these players have been playing forjurgen klopp and pep guardiola. you know, the top managers in world football earned £20 million a year. at the fa they pay you £2 million a yeah the fa they pay you £2 million a year. i think that tells you about the quality of the manager and his tactics and when he bnngs and his tactics and when he brings on substitutes and how he uses these young players, everyone's calling for change. will he change? probably not, i think he was likened to an accountant. in one one report i

read , i like gareth southgate. read, i like gareth southgate. i always have done since he played for crystal palace, i think he's a very genuine guy. he's perfect for the faa, doesn't put his foot in it. he says the right things, does the right things. but does he pick the right team? >> yeah. i mean, meanwhile, harry, the fans are falling asleep on the terraces or going mad in pubs with frustration. the red sea as part. have we got the easiest draw, the easiest route to the final fate? destiny seems to be on his side. the big thing is when push comes to shove, we've got a quick minute. harry harris can gareth southgate leap like a salmon? can he deliver? or will once again he come home empty handed and maybe they'll finish him off? >> no, i think they can't do any worse. so we've got to go into this game with a lot of optimism. and if these young boys get into the team and they perform , i'll tell you what. we perform, i'll tell you what. we could easily win this competition. but you know, he's got to pick the right team. he's got to pick the right team. he's got to pick the right team. he's got to have the right tactics. and i'm not quite sure that that's going to happen .

that's going to happen. >> we could easily win the competition. harry harris there's a fine line between optimism and have you been at the sherry. but look thank you very, very much for doing your very, very much for doing your very best to cheer me up on this friday afternoon. i hope you enjoyed the game . harry harris. enjoyed the game. harry harris. always a pleasure, mate. thank you very, very much for joining us. now, don't forget michelle dewberry is up next. she's got craig mckinley, the bionic mp. that's a fantastic coup. what? he got a hero's welcome when he returned to the commons and deservedly so. and be fascinating to get his take on this election campaign that promised to be a fantastic show . promised to be a fantastic show. dewbs& co 6 or 7 right after me. have a fantastic weekend and please enjoy the football and dnnk please enjoy the football and drink responsibly. now it's time for your weather with alex deakin. have a great weekend! >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar, sponsors of weather on gb

news . news. >> afternoon. welcome along to your latest weather update from the met office here on gb news. a fresher feel out there, certainly compared to earlier in the week, many of us having a fine end to the working week, it's just not particularly warm andifs it's just not particularly warm and it's still quite gusty across northern scotland. plenty of showers packing in here, 1 or 2 showers across southern scotland and northern england through the evening and overnight, but most places will be dry some lengthy clear spells in the east, but it will cloud over further west during the early hours, staying quite warm under that cloud but with some clearer skies. we'll easily see temperatures dropping down into single figures . still quite single figures. still quite breezy in northern scotland on saturday. a few showers here, but much of scotland dry and fine with some good spells of sunshine and plenty of sunshine across the south as well . a fine across the south as well. a fine day to come for east anglia and the south east, but in these more central parts through wales, northern england, much more cloud and there will be some rain and drizzle too , some rain and drizzle too, particularly to the west of

northern england and across the northern england and across the north and the west of wales. some brighter skies across the north of northern ireland. sunny spells for most of scotland, but there will be more showers packing in across the far north. not as windy here as today, but still a noticeable and fairly chilly breeze. the cloud should tend to drift away from northern ireland through the day, so belfast brightening up through the morning along with parts of southern scotland but much of northwest england, north and west wales likely to stay fairly drab. some rain and drizzle , drab. some rain and drizzle, especially over coasts and hills and cooler here as a result, but some warmth across the south—east. 24, maybe 25 celsius only high teens further north but still feeling pleasant in the sunshine. by the time we get to sunday, the cloud and the rain and drizzle will have supped rain and drizzle will have slipped further south, so a grey start across the southeast, but it should brighten up here. 1 or 2 showers here and there. some rain in shetland , but for many rain in shetland, but for many sunday's dry. quite a lot of cloud, but i think we'll still see some sunny spells coming through, but still on the cool

side for most, with temperatures generally only in the high teens. bye for now . teens. bye for now. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb

you. sunak has spoken out in response to the vile racist remarks made about him from someone who is apparently a reform campaigner. let's look at what actually has been going on and stop talking twaddle. that was one runs one woman's response. even i'm getting confused about what the word woman means. it was her response to keir starmer when he was waffling about protecting women's safe spaces. let me ask you, do you think this issue is
