racism in the police, politicians, all piled in, one after each other. people decided that they were going to go out and protest over it. in fact, they are protesting right now. black lives matter . black lives matter. >> lives matter. all lives , >> lives matter. all lives, lives matter. black lives m atter. >> matter. >> a british army officer is fighting for his life after being stabbed in broad daylight whilst wearing his uniform. now in my view, that should cause more outrage and concern than what we saw in manchester. but let's get the thoughts of my panel this evening. i'm joined by a gb news presenter, nana akua. i've also got conservative peer lord bailey and i am joined as well by former labour party adviser matthew laza, now nana. i just wonder a little bit and i just want to emphasise right at the start here, you know, we don't want to find ourselves, you know, in breach of any contempt of court laws. and

there is a very serious ongoing investigation into both of these issues, actually. but it just wonder what it says about our society that the second there is the kind of whiff of islamophobia it seems to completely distract from another very serious incident. and i wonder whether this is symptomatic of something. >> well, i mean, who would want to be in the army.7 literally no, it feels like nobody cares. we have got some brave people that are prepared to go to war to protect this country. and when something happens to them , there something happens to them, there was a little bit of media furore about it. but then it's literally been forgotten. it's been eclipsed. but that seems to been eclipsed. but that seems to be the way it has been for a lot of veterans. anyway. they go to war. we're all like, come on, come on. and then when it's all oven come on. and then when it's all over, there's very little support for them. a lot of them deal with mental health issues and i mean, who would want to be wearing any kind of uniform these days when you are in these sort of in uniform, you're, you're you're under attack. and this is unfortunately what we find here. and i think really the focus should be on they have

they've spoken about his attacker. but really what they do with people who maybe have mental health issues and also how they look after the veterans, really focusing on veterans, really focusing on veterans, you know. >> yeah . yeah. and sean, you >> yeah. yeah. and sean, you know, here we are yet again, politicians couldn't respond quick enough to what we saw in manchester, much less so to what we saw outside of barracks. i think there's two things to say. >> firstly, i'll take a wider view. this is about how we see ourselves as society. you're talking about people who are in the army signed a piece of papers to say they will die on our behalf. it doesn't matter where you sit politically. they don't make that judgement. they just act for you. one of my proudest achievements is that i happen to be honorary colonel for the royal regiment of fusiliers. two minutes of those boys will let you know that they have the ultimate respect for the public. and that's why they joined and the other thing as well, if you're deeply left wing pacifist, ask yourself, which organisation in this country has done the most humanitarian work? that would be our british armed forces. and i only say that to show everybody this is a group of men and women who can be

universally supported. so when the mainstream media doesn't pick up on this kind of stuff, it's just disappointing. we are very busy tearing down anything that looks traditional, but that will be a problem for us all in the future. >> matthew, i do wonder whether or not there is an issue with the left on this, which is that, you know, when they see something that's got the whiff of the whiff of islamophobia about it, they're all over it. do they care more about, you know, islamophobia than they do about our armed forces? well, i think that's, maybe a few left wing commentators and people on twitter and other social media. >> i mean, i think that as far as politicians are concerned, i think everybody across party was absolutely condemning the events that we saw in kent , absolutely condemning the events that we saw in kent, and, you know, clearly, when the court proceedings come to a conclusion, we need to learn the lessons they're both about, you know , how we protect our armed know, how we protect our armed forces when they're in and around the barracks, but also about, you know , attitudes that about, you know, attitudes that they may or may not be from certain people towards the armed

forces. i think what is disgraceful with the situation in manchester is people jumping on the bandwagon , having seen on the bandwagon, having seen little bits of footage, not seen the whole thing, nobody's seen the whole thing, nobody's seen the whole thing, nobody's seen the whole thing. we've just heard in the news that the, the ombuds, the watchdog, is going to look at hundreds of hours of footage because of course, everybody's got bodycam footage, there's different cctv angles, etc. but for people to be leaping on the bandwagon is absolutely disgraceful. when everybody needs to take a step back until we know what the final story is, it goes slightly deepen >>i deepen >> i think why these things are pushed in certain parts of the media is actually about identity politics. and they've identified that this, this kind of reporting makes them powerful, means that they they , they gain means that they they, they gain more purchase in the political arena. but i would want everybody to look at who are you supporting and why we are giving legitimacy to people who do not respect our liberal democracy. and i believe in a few years time, we'll have a legitimised these people so much they'll be unstoppable. and if you're a lefty and you and you and you like the democracy, remember that these people don't and you're actually in their firing

line. should they get any power? >> well, it's all about optics, isn't it? and it's depending on what will make me look better if i support this cause or that cause. and i do feel that that's what happens with these things. they become very politicised. and then instead of people actually focusing on what has actually focusing on what has actually happened. so in the case of manchester, we don't know what's happening. we literally do not know. so there's no nobody should be casting any judgement at all. in fact, people shouldn't even be putting it out there and talking about it. but we do know what happened with regard to this poor soldier who had who was attacked. and that's what we should be focusing on. and how we look after our veterans and whether we're going to attract people to join the armed forces and also the police, i think. >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> no, i was going to say and of course, the character, the lawyer who's turned up is our old friend. from birmingham, who he was, he's been . yeah, he's he was, he's been. yeah, he's been caught on camera. talking with some absolutely disgraceful views about women between him and the other people on that podcast recording that was released during the election campaign when thankfully, he wasn't elected . but also he's wasn't elected. but also he's also being investigated because

he by the solicitors regulatory authority, because , there were authority, because, there were accusations that he that there were sort of falsely claims, potentially false claims about racism. >> i'm not going to defend the guy, but the bottom line is this is not about him. yeah. >> no, but he shouldn't be jumping on the bandwagon. yeah. >> what is the jumping on the bandwagon bit that they're all doing it. they're all doing it. >> yeah. anybody who does it is wrong. >> it's about he's just symptomatic systematic of who we're now legitimising. yeah. if somebody bullies and controls and virtue signals in any sort of mix, somehow the press finds a way to support that person when actually they should be challenging that person. >> well, we're going to we're going to talk at the top of the turn. we're going to really zone in more on this manchester incident. so there'll be much more to talk about there. yeah. medicube obviously is not here to defend himself at the moment, but there we go. and i want to ask you though, sean, if i was in the military now, i would be wondering and just, just generally and i think i probably would have wondered this for many years, not not just now, but whether or not, you know, military uniform gives me a bit of a target on my back or

whether or not i am going to get, you know, the right level of protection or support from from people. you know, i think back to, you know, d—day was not that long ago. we had pride flags up and down regent street. we didn't have the union flag. this is symptomatic, i think, of where they are in the social strata. you know, the armed forces actually below other groups of people. >> listen, the advent of identity politics has created a hierarchy . some people refer to hierarchy. some people refer to it as a victims olympics and any institution that is traditional thatis institution that is traditional that is seen as british is simply not in the running. >> colonialism empire and the army. >> the army, the armed forces are definitely off most people's agenda. what's interesting is any uniform. now i mentioned this beforehand. if you look at how the police have struggled, particularly in london, to recruit, it's about how people talk about the police in general. do the police have their problems of course they do, but no more than any other institute. i institute, i suggest, but they are tried so regularly in the paper, so biasedly that now people won't join. and ironically, it is the

communities , black communities, communities, black communities, poor communities that are most at risk if we cannot increase the numbers who join the army and the police. >> well, i think i mean, i think that's right, because i think you need to get that diversity, actually, literally, as i got on the tube on the way here, there was a clearly a group of, sort of british legion veterans. and then i hadn't noticed. and then one was just behind me and they said, no, they were all wearing the poppy and the pride badge. it must have been a group of lgbt veterans. there must have been a meeting locally. so, i mean, i think it's about getting people from all our communities to serve and to serve with, with pride and because they've served with distinction. so but we therefore, we must, you know, people who wear their uniform should be respected. >> well, why would they want to, though? i mean, who would want to do it? you know, you're vilified if anything goes wrong. everyone scrutinises you closely. i mean, there's been soldiers who've gone out and done things in war who are being scrutinised now because of what they did in the war. yeah. you know, it's all this retrospective, retrospective justice that seems to favour those who are perpetrators of whatever it is. and we continue

to do this. so who's going to join the armed forces? who's going to join the police? who is going to join the police? who is going to join the police? who is going to protect us? if we do not protect them? >> unfortunately, nana, you're right. you only have to look at the figures. the army has been pushing a huge recruitment programme. you're talking here. the navy talk about not being able to man ships or or or personnel on ships, men and women, because they're lacking the recruitment ships. person. ships. man. excuse me? person. ships. man. excuse me? person. ships staff. >> aircraft. staff. yes. >> aircraft. staff. yes. >> so the point the point to be made is we are now raising up a group of young people who not only don't like the country, they're actively supported. if they're actively supported. if they acted that way. and i'd say this as well. a lot of the pressure that our our uniformed services are under, our country's under is actually external bad actors. you only have to spend two minutes on twitter or on youtube to see people attacking its own. >> and it's and it's on that, that that is why i wanted to have this discussion. all right. it's a very difficult discussion to have for numerous different reasons. but when i was on social media and when i was looking at, you know, consuming

all of the actual establishment media of two incidents that took place yesterday, or one was the day before, and i just thought , day before, and i just thought, gosh, there is a massive difference in the way that this appears. the narrative that is being peddled here and there was one, i.e. what happened outside that barracks that i thought for society anyway, screamed massively more alarm bells for me and was much more concerning than another one. now maybe that was just me. >> and it isn't the first incident. of course. you know, we've seen outside barracks, they both scream for society, but they need to both be dealt with balanced. >> that was maybe potentially, we don't know, an officer who's done something that needs looking at. but that's an officer, not the entire service. >> but we don't know the full story though. exactly. >> but the point was my point is it wasn't dealt with balance. >> we we'll return to the manchester incident a little bit later on. but coming up, reforms justice spokesperson ann widdecombe does give her take on what went on at manchester airport. are the police now giving into mob rule? plus she's going to tackle the tory leadership race and after stand

up to racism, whose president is diane abbott? by the way? organise a toss a milkshake at nigel farage store. is there a double standard in our treatment of certain politicians? plus we've got an exclusive recording for you, a vile islamist, anjem choudary , making some choudary, making some astonishing comments about prince harry because of the nature of his crime , which is, nature of his crime, which is, just, you know, shooting indiscriminately at people probably, he would probably face the death penalty under the sharia, under sharia court, that full explosive recording comes later. but yes, next. jk rowling has slammed culture secretary lisa nandy for passing the buck and saying that each sport should decide if trans athletes can compete with women. so i'm asking tonight do you trust labour to protect women's rights? former british olympian mara yamauchi goes head to head with discrimination. lawyer robin moira white. and that's next. stay tuned

welcome back to patrick christys tonight. now coming up, we've got loads on. so is echr membership only a talking point in the tory leadership contest? because nigel farage is reform uk party have put the issue on the map. that's the same nigel farage who is currently, in one way or another, being milkshaked by the way. more on that later. and we do have exclusive footage as well of islamist anjem choudary making some astonishing comments about prince harry. but first, can we really trust

labour to stand up for women's rights? it's time now for the head to head. so jk rowling has now slammed the culture secretary lisa nandy, after the labour mp suggested that there could be some circumstances in which trans athletes could compete in women's sport. speaking to the house magazine , speaking to the house magazine, nandy said that individual sports should decide whether or not biological males should compete against women. she added we ought to respect the fact that they're far more expert in making those judgements and decisions than we are. i want to make sure that they feel supported, to be able to make those decisions fairly, but i think most have come to the conclusion that although they want to be as inclusive as possible, biology does matter when it comes to sport. well get this, it comes after three trans athletes dominated the podium at athletes dominated the podium at a cycling event in america last week, relegating female competitors to the sidelines . competitors to the sidelines. and as the nation gears up for the opening ceremony of paris 2024 tomorrow at the last

olympics in tokyo, the weightlifter from new zealand, laurel hubbard, became the first trans woman to compete alongside biological women at the games, i must say it didn't go that well for her, but it did look as though because you're not bothered. but anyway, after lisa nandy opened the door to trans athletes competing alongside biological women, can we really trust labour to protect women? i want to know your thoughts. go to gbnews.com/yoursay tweet me @gbnews. make sure you vote in our poll . but first, going head our poll. but first, going head to head on this former olympic athlete mara yamauchi and the discrimination lawyer robin moira white. thank you very much. great to have you on the show. mara is this a concerning statement, do you think, from labour's culture secretary? >> well, i think it's important to look at the detail of what she said. she said biology does matter. she's correct. that's the truth . i welcome that. but the truth. i welcome that. but the truth. i welcome that. but the logical next step of biology does matter is that males should not be competing in the female category under any circumstances because it needs to. sport needs to be fair and safe for women and girls. but what she said

instead was, let's leave this to our national governing bodies, to decide. and in theory, that would be okay. however, in practice it's proved to be not okay. here we are now, nearly three years after the uk sports councils issued their report, which was very clear. it said fair and safe sport for women and girls cannot coexist with males in the female category and despite nearly three years passing, most sports in the uk still allow males in the female category. there are only a tiny number which who have protected the female category. so what i would like to see from nandy is leadership and encouragement and pressure on the governing bodies to restore fair and safe sport for females. >> okay, yeah, a definite sense , >> okay, yeah, a definite sense, i think, robin, that she's passing the buck there . really. passing the buck there. really. and robin, we did show a picture earlier on of some of those, cyclists. okay. that came i believe first, second and third in that particular, race. and,

you know, you only have to look at the size difference there to know that that is unfair. i mean, do you think biology does matter when it comes to sport? >> well, well, i think we'd have to start with asking what's happening in british cycling and british cycling have made a decision that mara would like in that, they've followed the science and they followed the law, which is part of the equality act that labour passed when it was last in power, which permits exclusion for fair competition or for safety . so competition or for safety. so you've chosen to show what's happening in america. if we actually looked at british cycling , they are one of those cycling, they are one of those codes that are a would support. now there are other sporting codes where the sport is not gender affected. i used to compete in competitive shooting, now one couldn't argue that, you know, there is a gender effect in that sport . know, there is a gender effect in that sport. on know, there is a gender effect in that sport . on the other in that sport. on the other hand, we've just watched wimbledon and you plainly

wouldn't, you know, where where the strength of serve is important. and that's a sport at right at one end of the spectrum. and it would be very obvious that the strength of serve would make a difference in terms of fair competition. >> well, that's an interesting that's an interesting point . yeah. >> there will be sports in between. and i thought gb news viewers didn't believe in big government. i thought gb news viewers i do think though to be fair robin, i also think gb news viewers don't like the idea of men and women's changing rooms and men taking a gold medal off and men taking a gold medal off a woman and the suspension of biological facts. >> i think that is something that does ring true whenever i certainly see any gb news viewers out and about or read the emails . viewers out and about or read the emails. but mara on that as robin got a point that there are some sports actually where it doesn't really matter. like shooting. >> if a sport is sex affected i.e. there is a difference between males and females, then there must be a separate male

category. a sport like equestrian, as i understand it, can be mixed sex because there's no clear advantage held by males. but if a sport is sex affected even to the tiniest degree, there must be single sex categories. there can also be mixed sex categories, and that's fine for those who want to play mixed sex competitions, but there must be a female category if a sport is even in the slightest bit sex affected. just coming back to what robin said about british cycling, it's important to note that there breeze program, which is for recreational level , this is a recreational level, this is a breeze. rides which are supposed to be women only and as i understand it, trans identifying males are allowed into those rides. they're allowed to lead those rides. so women and girls turning up, they're expecting a women only cycle ride. could be led out into the countryside by a male. this is not safe and not fair for females. >> the implication the implication, robin, of what lisa nandy said there would be that if women's football associations or women's rugby associations or

whatever it may be, do make the decision that trans men can compete against women or alongside women in those in those situations , then the those situations, then the labour government wouldn't stand in the way of that . so the in the way of that. so the labour government would, would, would pass that onto that. and i do think that that is a dereliction of leadership as trans women, i think probably , trans women, i think probably, probably he probably meant trans women . women. >> well, but that's been the law since 2010 that it's been lawful for the sporting body to make that decision . and labour have that decision. and labour have said very clearly that they're not. they regard the equality act as one of the jewels in labour's crown, quite rightly, i think, and have said that they're not intending to alter those provisions of the equality act. >> okay. so mara, look, you know, maybe, maybe this is a question of just, you know, are we being a bit sensitive about this? i mean, is it really going to happen at the elite olympic level? although, to be fair, i

did look at it before, and i saw laurel hubbard competing in the weightlifting for new zealand at the last olympics. >> i believe this matters at all levels. you know, it's not just at elite level. women at grassroots level, beginner level, recreational level, masters level, women and girls deserve fair and safe sport. and it's interesting. in your introduction, you said hubbard hadnt introduction, you said hubbard hadn't looked like he'd not bothered. you know, we've seen males deliberately underperforming in the female category this makes a total mockery of sport. sport is about doing your absolute best and male sandbagging to try and hide their male advantage. just totally corrupt. what sport is. >> i'll be honest with you. i mean, i covered that at the time, right? a few years ago now, and i think it's really interesting that you would say, like, you would know a lot more than that about that than i would as someone who is an olympian yourself, that's what it looked like to me. it looked like there'd been a big hoo ha about laurel hubbard turning up and oh, is she going to or are you going to win the gold? it looks to me like someone who just came in, you know, having

completely not bothered to train. really. ijust completely not bothered to train. really. i just found that i found that a bit weird. >> we saw this with leah thomas. we've heard of coaches shouting at male athletes from the sidelines. you know, don't try too hard. don't make it look too obvious. this is a complete corruption of what sport is and keep coming back to the equality act. section 195 explicitly permits single sex sports, so it is lawful to exclude all males, including grc holders, from the female category. >> robin, final word to you on this . what is it do you think this. what is it do you think about women in the labour party that they find so difficult to stand up for other women ? stand up for other women? >> do they stand up for everyone? that's the point of the equality act. it it it balances the needs of all people . balances the needs of all people. and where it's fair to exclude, it allows exclusion and where it's not fair to exclude , it it's not fair to exclude, it doesn't permit exclusion. >> okay. all right. look, both of you, thank you very, very much. that was our olympic athlete, mara yamauchi and discrimination lawyer robin moira white. who do you agree with? do you trust labour to protect women at phyllis on acts says absolutely not. labour are

responsible for the state of emergency women and girls find themselves in. they are an abomination. daniel on your say says why don't they just have their own category that would make more sense. joe on x says labour don't care about women. and the sad thing is so many of the uk were foolish enough to vote for them. so not a not a huge amount of for want of a better phrase, diversity in that inbox. there but your verdict is now in 4% of you trust labour to protect women. 96% of you do not. coming up after a soldier was stabbed more than 12 times while in uniform outside his barracks in kent. does more need to be done now to protect our brave armed forces? former british army officer lieutenant colonel stuart crawford offers his expert opinion shortly. plus we have an exclusive recording of vile islamist anjem chowdhury making some absolutely unbelievable comments about prince harry because of the nature of his crime , which is, nature of his crime, which is, just, you know, shooting indiscriminately at people probably, he would probably face

the death penalty under the sharia, under sharia court. i'll bnng sharia, under sharia court. i'll bring you the full version shortly. trust me, it is absolutely extraordinary. but first. i well, protests are happening again over manchester airport incident. are they? so are greater manchester police in danger now of just giving in to mob rule reforms? justice spokeswoman ann widdecombe will tackle that. the tory leadership race the controversial farage stall as a pride

next. welcome back to patrick christys. tonight on gb news. still to come as a 24 year old man is charged with attempted murder after a soldier was stabbed over 12 times whilst in uniform outside his barracks in can. does more need to be done to protect our brave armed forces? retired royal navy officer rear admiral chris parry gives his expert analysis. but first, we welcome the political legend that is ann widdecombe. now the tory leadership race is taking shape, former security minister tom tugendhat announcing his bid with a promise to bring common sense conservatism to the party. he also said he's willing to leave the echr, warning that if institutions made it harder for britain to control its borders, the uk would have to exempt ourselves from them or leave their jurisdiction. ourselves from them or leave theirjurisdiction. well, ourselves from them or leave their jurisdiction. well, this comes just days after reform uk leader nigel farage called for a referendum on leaving the echr.

in fact, he's since tweeted echr membership is a tory leadership issue because reform are a force. the difference is we want to leave and they just pretend. and thank you very, very much for joining me. did the tories forjoining me. did the tories suffer so badly at the election because of their failure to deal with our membership of the echr and actually, frankly, can anyone trust people like tom tugendhat when they say this stuff? >> well, on the first question, did they suffer because of echr? they certainly suffered because they'd lost control of immigration. and of course, the reason why the rwanda plan ran into difficulties was the echr. so i think you can say as a result of that, that had an impact on the election. yes. your question about tom tugendhat is, is extremely relevant because, he was a very sizeable remainer. i can't ever remember. and i stand open to correction, but i can't ever remember him saying previously that he wanted us to leave the echr, you know, if the tories are going to go ahead and

campaign to come out of the echr, i'm all for that. but i'd like to be persuaded that they do actually mean it . do actually mean it. >> yeah. well, on what evidence is that to suggest? i mean, they've had numerous opportunities. i mean, the thing the fact is, and, you know, when they when their backs were against the wall and they knew they were going to get a kicking at this election, they still didn't do it then. so they didn't do it then. so they didn't even do it to save their own jobs at the time. so it does beg the question, why would they do it now? >> well, i think the answer is that they wouldn't. i think the answer is that they're also very divided on this issue. you know, there are 1 or 2 of them. we do believe in leaving echr an awful lot of them who don't. and therefore they're not they're not going to make this a centrepiece of policy. this is a rather cynical leadership ploy. >> yeah. i mean, it's also because there are a huge number of liberal democrats just pretending to be conservatives, isn't there? because previously you were more successful as a tory. but how times changed anyway. now a police incident at manchester airport yesterday has sparked unfounded accusations of police brutality and racism after officers were filmed behaving pretty robustly towards

their suspects. this to led protests against police in rochdale, where one of the arrested men reportedly lives with community tensions once again threatening to boil over. now not everyone is so critical of the police response, though . of the police response, though. >> i'm getting loud and clear from my constituents is that they are fed up with seeing police dancing around rainbows and being nice to people and running off from rioters. they want the police to do their job, and i think these police yesterday should be commended. they should. in fact, i give them a medal. >> and do you agree with lee there? >> well, i certainly agree that the police need to respond robustly, i always say when things like this happen, look, you know, don't just show us the incident itself. show us what led up to it. show us what the offenders were doing. you know, show us all of that before you say the police have overreacted, and i do feel very strongly about that. there's a pattern developing now in public commentary whereby you just see

a selected piece of video and you are invited to make judgement on that without of course, the wider context being on display . on display. >> yeah. by the way, i am absolutely amazed at how quickly greater manchester police have managed to lose control of this narrative. absolutely amazed about it. and you know, they're presumably is footage. well there is we know there are hours and hours and hours of footage. has the time not come potentially for them in the light of all of this, to start putting some of that out, because it's a one way street and what we're seeing now is another societal issue, which is the rush to protest and the rush to frankly, kick off. you've got people outside a police station in rochdale last night shouting allahu akbar, being advised on what lawyer to call if they get arrested for protesting. and you think, you know is this a problem in british society? >> i'd have had a lot more respect for the police if they'd gone out and actually made some arrests. you know, there's all this emphasis now on containing the situation . that's what they the situation. that's what they call it, you know, contain it,

don't inflame it, you know, calm it down. well, that's all very well. but if people are behaving unlawfully, the police are there to enforce the laws back down. they started doing well. >> now , police have concluded >> now, police have concluded that no laws were broken at the recent chesterfield pride event. and this is, i must admit, a, you know, a topic i never really imagined i would talk to you about chesterfield pride, but they received complaints about this. toss a milkshake at nigel farage game. the stall was organised by the chesterfield and north derbyshire branch of stand up to racism, whose president happens to be labour mp diane abbott. now the organisation insisted that the game was harmless and light hearted fun, but an after the recent attempt on donald trump's life and obviously some of the issues that nigel farage has faced himself, should we be taking this kind of, you know , taking this kind of, you know, ribbing of politicians a bit more seriously? do you think ? more seriously? do you think? >> well, look, i think that particular stunt was distasteful, but i don't think it goes beyond that. i don't

think they were encouraging violence. i don't think that's what they meant to do. what they meant to do was get a lot of publicity, and you've given it to them. >> oh, well. well, i suppose an but, you know , nigel farage, i but, you know, nigel farage, i imagine, isn't particularly happy about all of this . i mean, happy about all of this. i mean, one day it's a, it's a fake milkshake to chesterfield pride event and another day it's a, it's a real milkshake somewhere else. and goodness knows what else, isn't it really. but diane abbott is in charge on you know, quite high up. anyway, when it comes to the stand up to racism thing, do you think she needs to be stopping things like this within her organisation, as it were? >> oh well, look, don't hold your breath. she won't do that, your breath. she won't do that, you know, i've never yet known diane abbott tried to calm the situation down, she's likely to do the opposite and say it was all justified, etc. but as i say, you know, when i say you've given it to them, i don't mean you personally, patrick christys, but the media has given this publicity. they should have ignored it. >> well, i know nigel has to be fair himself come out and said that he thinks that diane should, should, you know, condemn this kind of stuff. but

like you said, i think we might be wasting a heck of a long time for that. and but can i just say a massive thank you and great to have you on the show as ever. there's the wonderful ann widdecombe there. okay so lots to come. coming up. widdecombe there. okay so lots to come. coming up . black lives to come. coming up. black lives matter , black lives matter. matter, black lives matter. >> black lives matter. black lives matter. all lives matter . lives matter. all lives matter. black lives matter. >> yeah. if you're listening on radio, it might not be immediately obvious what that is. but those are protests continuing as we speak after an armed officer was suspended for kicking a suspect at manchester airport. but have greater manchester police given to in a mob? and sorry, why has nobody been charged? did a female officer have her nose broken or not? what went on? i'll tackle that head on at ten. but next, after a soldier was stabbed more than 12 times whilst in uniform outside his barracks in kent. does more need to be done now to protect our brave armed forces? former british army r lieutenant colonel stuart crawford is live and he's

next. welcome back to patrick christys. tonight. i have got a heck of a lot coming your way in the next hour. so greater manchester police, are they just giving to in mob rule? why is nobody being charged? did a female officer have her nose broken or not? what went on? the other one is the exclusive footage that we've got for you of anjem chaudry, the islamist himself, making some astonishing comments about prince harry. but first, 24 year old anthony hassan appeared in court today accused of the attempted murder of the senior army officer, mark teetan, now the lieutenant colonel was stabbed multiple times while wearing military uniform near brompton barracks in kent on tuesday and he remains in a serious but stable condition in hospital. well, the incident has obviously raised a huge amount of concerns and what protocols might be in place to help protect members of our armed forces. i'm joined now by former british army officer

lieutenant colonel stuart crawford. stuart, thank you very much. to great have you on the show. i will just emphasise again, you know, we do not want to find ourselves at all in any kind of contempt of court situation here. we absolutely would not want to prejudice anything that goes on going forward. but i'm very keen to just know in general terms about what kind of protocol there is for members of our armed forces when it comes to things like wearing uniform outside of barracks and stuff like that. what are the rules there? what's the advice, the guidance, >> good evening patrick. well all i would say is that we've been here before, and when i was serving, we had the euphemistically called , troubles euphemistically called, troubles in northern ireland, where members of the british armed forces were directly targeted by ira terrorists. and we were discouraged and forbidden from wearing uniform. and in public, because of the threat which which was very real at the time . which was very real at the time. and i always thought that that was a victory for the terrorists, because basically they have forced, uniformed

armed forces personnel off the street. and indeed, we had to check under our cars before we go into them in case there was a car bomb there, both in the uk and london. i remember doing it well, and also in germany, where the ira did attack. but i think we have to , accept that in we have to, accept that in a free liberal democracy in which we, thank goodness, still live the armed, the uniformed armed forces are still part of our civic society. and to have them dnven civic society. and to have them driven off the streets is probably not unacceptable. so, forbidding people to wear uniform in public, i think, is a retrograde step. it doesn't happenin retrograde step. it doesn't happen in other places with a diminished terrorist threat like in the usa, where, members of all three armed services proudly wear their uniforms in public. and i've lived there and are complimented on them by the general public. and i think, although i'm not a great fan of all things american, but that's

the sort of paradigm that we should be looking for in the uk, >> yeah. again, i'm not in any way, shape or form looking to make specific reference to the incident. that's taken place outside that barracks in kent. but i do wonder, stuart, whether or not as a society, we've got to a situation where somebody's wearing a military uniform can actually open themselves up to criticism in the street. you know, i wonder you know, various different wars in the middle east previously and things like that, that that can lead to people actually copping it a bit for wearing military uniform. you mentioned the difference between us in america. there i find that very sad. if that's the case. >> no, i mean, it very much is the case where it was the case, when i was representing the british army and the usa, last, in the 1990s, it was quite marked the difference because we had the troubles in northern ireland. but i think we've got to accept, i hope that the uniformed armed services are part and parcel of our civic society , and there's no reason society, and there's no reason why they should not feel safe wearing the uniform that is part

and parcel of their job. and bearin and parcel of their job. and bear in mind, they are, you know, in essence, civil servants in uniform, from doing so and i think if we get to that point where they're banned from doing doing so, it'll be a sad day for the uk. >> what kind of security is on offer for members of our armed forces when they are out and about? so whether it's leave or whether they are just leaving a barracks ? barracks? >> well, i think the simple answer is very little. i mean, our, our soldiers and sailors and airmen don't carry sidearms as a rule. and, therefore they really are subject to normal civilian rules and look to the police, for their security against violence or anything like that. and i don't think there's any argument to be made for allowing them to to, carry sidearms, because then we're on the slippery slope of, being an armed society, like the usa. and i don't think anybody's got any

real appetite for that now, are they told things like, look , you they told things like, look, you know, you are you are conceivably a civilian target up here because it does make me wonder, you add that to the long list of very questionable reasons as to why anybody might join the british armed forces. >> i mean, earlier on in the show, i did a bit of a contrast between the way that i felt a lot of the establishment media, and certainly social media reacted to two incidents that really kind of kicked off at the same time. obviously what happened outside that barracks in kent and what happened at manchester airport and how quickly all of the narrative came about manchester airport, i just wonder, you know, does do our armed forces feel valued enough? really? do you think? >> well, i think the answer is no. and, and there are a whole host of reasons for that. but i think that, the way that they are portrayed in the media, in general terms is, is not necessarily favourable. and the way that the ministry of defence, press, pr and media

communications defend the armed forces is appallingly poor and has been for as far back as i can remember. so i think there's a lot to be done in presenting the armed forces as a valuable part of civic society in the uk, because without defence of the realm and its citizens, then everything else is extremely vulnerable and you can forget about the nhs and schools and education and housing and all that sort of stuff. if we can't defend it, then it's worthless. >> yeah, no, look, 100% and we are now in a situation, aren't we, where we're talking about how we've got three years to prepare for war, or we've got, however long to prepare for a war and you think, well, maybe we shouldn't have given the military an absolute kicking, maybe we shouldn't have gratuitously gone after people like dennis hutchings, etc. and tried them three times for the same thing and then left them to die on their own in a belfast hospital and all of that stuff. you think maybe actually, we should have done more to actually protect the legacy of

our armed forces and look after our armed forces and look after our veterans, maybe even, dare i say it, pay them a bit more. you know, we hear a huge i mean, we have massive strikes, don't we? for teachers and for nurses, for all of that stuff, for people who work on our railways, we don't strike for the army, do we? but we also don't go outside and clap them on a tuesday evening. but anyway, thank you very much for joining evening. but anyway, thank you very much forjoining us. former british army officer, lieutenant colonel stuart crawford, you take care. coming up, we have an exclusive recording of vile islamist anjem choudary making some astonishing comments about prince harry because of the nature of his crime, which is, just, you know, shooting indiscriminately at people probably, he would probably face the death penalty under the sharia, and they can look , make sharia, and they can look, make sure you tune in for that full recording. it's in the next houn recording. it's in the next hour. but next it's greater manchester police suspend the armed officer involved in this incident following protests outside rochdale police station. have they given now given in to the mob? why has nobody been charged ? did a female police charged? did a female police officer have her nose broken or not? all of that's next. >> that warm feeling inside from

boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news >> good evening. this is your latest gb news weather forecast coming to you from the met office. there's likely to be something a bit drier and warmer early next week, but before then, plenty of showers and actually through the end of today there is still some more persistent rain affecting some parts of the south—east due to a waving frontal system that's already brought quite a bit of rain . that rain in the far rain. that rain in the far south—east should clear through as we go through the next few hours though, and so for many it is going to be a largely dry night, just a scattering of showers continuing across western parts of scotland in particular. also parts of northern ireland and northwest england. many places, though having some clear skies and it may be a touch fresher than last night towards the north—west, still quite warm and muggy towards the southeast, and as we go through tomorrow morning, then a bright start for many , then a bright start for many, maybe the odd pocket of mist and fog around, but i think on the whole it's largely dry. a few

showers already pushing into parts of western england and wales, but further east a drier story. a few showers also for western parts of northern ireland, but it's down the western side of scotland, where the showers are going to be most frequent and there could already be some heavy ones as we go through the morning. eastern parts of scotland clinging on to some fine sunny weather through a large chunk of the morning. but as we head towards the afternoon, those showers are going to become a bit more widespread. some of them could be on the heavy side, and there could be the odd rumble of thunder mixed in, albeit they don't look as intense as the showers that we saw yesterday. plenty of showers for northern ireland, parts of western england and wales may see a few showers staying dry towards the east, and a decent amount of sunshine. and with that feeling pretty warm again, temperatures in the mid 20s for some. looking ahead to saturday and after a mostly fine start for many of us, we are going to see the showers developing yet again. slight differences in where we're most likely to see the showers. probably northern england. north wales could see the heaviest showers on saturday and they could be quite slow

moving because the winds will be dropping out a little bit. but sunday into monday looks drier and warmer by. >> looks like things are heating up . boxt boilers, sponsors of up. boxt boilers, sponsors of weather on gb news

to give in to mob rule. next? >> patrick, thanks very much indeed. well, the top story from the gb newsroom tonight is that the gb newsroom tonight is that the police watchdog says investigators will be examining hours of body worn video and cctv footage following the altercation, which has resulted in a police officer being suspended from duty. greater manchester police say they were called to reports of an assault in the airport car park, where they were then punched to the ground and a female police officer's nose was broken. after that, police are shown on a video circulating online subduing the arrested men forcefully, including using a kick to the head . a solicitor kick to the head. a solicitor representing two of the men involved says they're family members of a greater manchester police officer, and they're traumatised by what happened . traumatised by what happened. meanwhile, there have been protests tonight outside greater manchester mayor andy burnham's office. demonstrators did leave after that particular protest after that particular protest after , no police intervention . after, no police intervention. now, in other news today, a man

wounding against the police officers that have assaulted both farid and ahmad, and the elderly mother, who was just there as a bystander . there as a bystander. >> and then after all that, this morning the police changed their tune. they suspended the officer who kicked that man in the head. well, we went to greater manchester police several times today, including again just before we came to air, and they said to us that all four men that they arrested have been bailed and that no charges have been brought against them. and now , predictably, this happens . now, predictably, this happens. >> mohamed al fayed his medical condition has worsened since last night . a ct scan has last night. a ct scan has revealed there is a cyst on his brain . brain. >> the police have totally lost control of this. now haven't they? and there's more protests tonight . they? and there's more protests tonight. black they? and there's more protests tonight . black lives matter.

tonight. black lives matter. >> matter . tonight. black lives matter. >> matter. black tonight. black lives matter. >> matter . black lives matter. >> matter. black lives matter. black lives matter. all lives matter . black lives matter . matter. black lives matter. >> i don't remember seeing protests like this over the grooming gang scandal. the you . grooming gang scandal. the you. now, as far as i can tell, one of two things is happening here. either the police are lying about what led up to that head kick. they're they're not being entirely truthful about the assaults on their police officers and the volatility of the situation , which i must say, the situation, which i must say, i personally find quite doubtful because even labour's greater manchester mayor, andy burnham, has said that he's viewed all the footage in its entirety. and he said that it's not clear cut . he said that it's not clear cut. or another option is that we are witnessing police giving in to a mob in real time and throwing an officer under the bus . which is officer under the bus. which is it? let's get the thoughts of my panel tonight. gb news presenter

nana akua. we've also got conservative peer lord bailey and ex—labour party adviser matthew laza nana. do you think that the police need to now to show some of the footage that they must have, which presumably, unless they are lying about this, would vindicate some of their officers? >> i don't think in the words of andy burnham, i don't think it's as clear cut as that at all. remember, obviously the rochdale grooming gang, you obviously alluded to that the police did not want to speak out because they were scared. they were scared of being called racist. they were scared of the backlash that would happen. and now we see the police acting in a way we haven't seen both sides of the complete story. although i did read a piece this was from the bbc on their website that said that this is from a witness in. he said that he was coming to arrivals. a police officer had approached one man in his early 20s and told them that he was a wanted man before they pinned him against a wall. another man then started on the police and a fight ensued. he said the man who was being

pinned against the wall started throwing punches. he was tasered and fell to the floor. this is from a witness who was there. i mean, you can't verify. that's just something that it was on the bbc website. so that is my source. the point i'm trying to make is this we haven't seen the whole thing. no. and it seems almost as though the police have been hung, drawn and quartered before anything can happen. >> i also think they might be doing that a bit themselves. with respect, nana because there was, there was, there was a change of tune, wasn't there? there was a change of tune last night. this time yesterday we were here and there was a there was a note to editors at the bottom of the latest press release came through the greater manchester police notes, where it says this police officer has not been suspended. and as far as i can tell, the only thing that has changed between now and this time last night is that there's been protests and there's been protests and there's been protests and there's been demonstrations and there's been demonstrations and there's been demonstrations and there's been someone coming out and saying that this is institutional racism in the police. and now this officer has been suspended. >> can i can i just come to the problem is that a greater, greater manchester police are under a lot of stress. they've got 800 outstanding freedom of information requests. and this

is from things that may have happened that people are asking me. there's a massive backlog. so they are they are really hamstrung. so i half of me feel sorry for them. but on the other half i don't know where we go with this. >> sure. look, whenever the police deal with something like this, there's two things they know. they're damned if they do, they damned if they don't. and it will get worse if they take long. any situation that they then change. they came out of an initial statement. fine. if they then change something, they should be very clear about why they've changed what they changed. because if not, it just builds speculation and all of the people who are against them have something. some conspiracy theory , some some fuel for their theory, some some fuel for their conspiracy theory. but neutral people start saying, well, where are you? why have you changed? what can't you tell us? the police should understand very carefully. they have to be open. it makes whatever comes much less of an issue for them. but here's what it is. the police are terrified of the press now because they get punished by the press and people lose their jobs. we need to get to a situation where the police can deal with something tough and it isn't. it's only about the

officers involved, not the whole force also, but also just on that. >> exactly. if there is a situation like when the press releases started coming out yesterday, which paints a picture of a female police officer who's had a nose broken, two other officers punched to the ground requiring hospital treatment. it paints a quite vivid picture , actually, of this vivid picture, actually, of this absolute melee in which armed officers are in the thick of something very serious, very volatile, and that that might act as a justification for the really, you know, quite shocking headkick that we saw there. and if you get people going into bat for that and giving the police the benefit of the doubt and here we are now, 24 hours on from that with a total vacuum being created, and you start to think, well, hang on a minute, what has really gone on here, matthew? what i want to know is why has nobody been charged? okay. i don't expect you to have the answer for this, but why has nobody been charged? because, you know, not a chief constable. sadly, a female police officer had her nose broken. two of the police officers were sent to hospital. after this. we've got the only person as of right now

who is facing any kind of punishment is a police officer. >> yeah. so look, what's. you know what? it's very important. andy burnham is mayor of greater manchester, and that makes him the police and crime commissioner of greater manchester, as well. needs to be doing is asking the police and making giving the police support so that they continue to investigate. two things, as well as the complaint against the officer for the head kick. the first thing is the original issue that led to the arrest in the first place, which seems to completely forgotten. and then secondly, the issues that happened, the other issues that happened, the other issues that happened with the incident around that arrest and around the violence that ensued, which, you know, as we understand it, left a female police officer with a broken nose. so that cannot be forgotten about. yes, of course, we've seen the video footage of the of the of the head kick. if there's enough reason to suspend that officer whilst investigations take place. okay, but the investigations must continue to take place into what other people did in that same incident. >> i'll come back to you on this now because i've seen quite recent comments. well, recent ish from the home secretary. yvette cooper paul waugh is the local mp for the rochdale area,

where i think at least one of them is believed to be a constituent there. and the latest statements there's no mention of, oh, i hope the police are all right in this. it's all about, you know, i sat down, we've spoken to the people concerned. they need to see that justice has been done. well, conceivably there's a female police officer at home tonight with a broken nose. >> there's two things i'd say. firstly, we have a political atmosphere now where where people are much more concerned about who elects them rather than who they're meant to be. advocating for. because, again, the police are important institution. i come from the black community. we've had all of our dramas with the police, but i'd still tell you they are an important institution, and i think the politicians involved should remember that. but there are other, deeper personal thing is we arm our officers. we put them in very, very tough situations. adrenaline flows , situations. adrenaline flows, and if we believe that adrenaline is not going to flow and it can control every situation themselves, in every situation, we are mistaken. and i think sometimes we have to view situations through what happened beforehand, what state

it left that officer in. because if we don't, what happens is you get many officers who just start to leave. you already saw the situation we had in london where armed officers were handing back their firearms qualification because they didn't feel supported, because nobody was trying to understand the environment in which they have to work. >> and nana we have got, you know, people outside the police station last night saying, we're going to protest, we're going to kick off, here's a lawyer to call if you get nicked for protesting. sorry, but that's not normal. >> well, it's just like rent a mob. i mean, they're they're, you know, they're always there for these things. i mean, with the black lives matter as people came out when they didn't have anything else to do, you know, it's a just stop oil suddenly these people who don't appear to be working. so it's usually students and old people, you know what i mean? and now this mob of people who and i think a lot of the time you've got people protesting who, if they were to be in there where they probably come from in the country, that they maybe their background, they probably wouldn't be allowed to protest in that way. i literally look at this and think that we need all

the facts. i don't think it's acceptable to kick anyone in the head. no but then again, it's not acceptable to punch somebody in the nose and break their nose. so i don't understand why this. and i get that they are police, but they also have to uphold the law and they use a level of force that they believe is right. and we need to know what led them to. >> there's got to be this has been going on for far too long without context now. and actually it is starting to look increasingly dodgy for the police. and it is right. and thatis police. and it is right. and that is that is we can't have we can't have more brawl anywhere, whether it's on the streets of rochdale or it's on the streets of leeds last week. >> and so social services or the police need to be able to do theirjobs police need to be able to do their jobs without if something becomes uncomfortable, any particular group saying that it's motivated by them being from that particular group, we just we absolutely. >> it's got to a point where we need to know now about, you know, about exactly what led up to this incident, because it's either it's either, you know, straightforward police brutality or you've got whatever else has gone on before. and we need to know. but i've got a wizards on because a spokesperson sorry, a spokesperson for greater

manchester police has said following a thorough review of further information that has become available in relation to an incident at manchester airport on tuesday evening, greater manchester police has suspended a police officer from all duties. a referral has now been made to the independent office for police conduct for a full, independent investigation. we understand the deep concerns that have been widely raised with us and we'll continue to meet and discuss these feelings with greater manchester residents and elected representatives whilst this independent investigation takes place. so coming up, i'll bring you the very first look at tomorrow's newspaper front pages and next. well, it's a very big exclusive actually. we've managed to obtain audio of vile islamist preacher anjem choudary teeing off on prince harry because of the nature of his crime , which is, just, you know, crime, which is, just, you know, shooting indiscriminately at people probably, he would probably face the death penalty under the sharia, under sharia court. well, we're going to be heanng court. well, we're going to be hearing from anjem

next. welcome back to patrick christys tonight. well coming up, i will have the very first of tomorrow's newspaper front pages. but first, we bring him a gb news exclusive audio obtained by gb news has revealed that radical preacher anjem chowdhury's bombshell demands of prince harry. chowdhury is facing life in prison after being convicted on tuesday of leading a group banned under uk

terror laws. but it turns out prince harry's boast that he killed 25 taliban fighters in his memoirs, spare clearly rubbed the vile islamist up the wrong way. so here it is. let's listen to it. yeah, i mean, basically in islam, there are various punishments. >> i don't want to go through the whole breakdown, but one of them is called, bloodmoney, which in arabic is depher d i y y which in arabic is depher d i y y h d. and the idea is for everything. i mean, you know, if someone gouges out an eye, you know, then the compensation for thatis know, then the compensation for that is 50 camels. for one thing, there's ten camels. and if you take someone's life, then there's a donation of the property. so that's 100 camels of which 40 are pregnant. and, basically you can take the monetary value. so i had a look onune monetary value. so i had a look online and one camel is nowadays $5,000. so the compensation for that would be, you know, at that times, 100. so that makes it $50,000. that makes it 500.

thousand dollars, doesn't it? so it's half $1 million. so obviously, that being the case and that's obviously up to the family. >> so what happens is that if someone kills someone intentionally, then the family of the deceased, meaning his relatives, they can decide either to opt for capital punishment, meaning reciprocation or to take the monetary value or take the blood money. >> but i think anyway, in harry's case, most probably if it came to a court because of the nature of his crime, which is, just, you know , shooting is, just, you know, shooting indiscriminately at people, probably , he would probably face probably, he would probably face the death penalty under the shana the death penalty under the sharia , under sharia court. but sharia, under sharia court. but in general, if the taliban are asking for compensation, then the compensation would be the equivalent of that 100 camels, and of which 40 are pregnant, which is, i would say half a million. so for 25 people, it would be, $12.5 million. and, you know , and i was just you know, and i was just thinking that, i mean, you know, all things considered, especially post, american withdrawal from afghanistan,

they are needy for the money at they are needy for the money at the moment. i mean, the country is in crisis over there economically. >> i mean, he's making a fortune from this book. >> i mean, it's more popular than harry potter, and, his nemesis. but anyway. but. yeah. so, i mean , he can afford that, so, i mean, he can afford that, can't he? he can afford to pay that because he's going to make an excess of that, and he's making it on the back of saying he's killed all these afghans as well. all these muslims in owen paterson. so i think it's only right that, the proceeds of this book, are put to good use, which is, to pay , reparations for the is, to pay, reparations for the british crimes in afghanistan . british crimes in afghanistan. >> so. well i now welcome the journalist who was on the other end of that extraordinary call with anjum chowdhury is dominic zelenskyy . dominic, thank you zelenskyy. dominic, thank you very much. just to summarise a bit there, he's basically said that prince harry, under sharia law, would probably face the death penalty, but he might be able to get away with it if he pays $12.5 million for, slaughtering a few taliban fighters. and it's the least he

can do because actually, the taliban need the money and he's making loads of money off his book, isn't he, dominic? look, you you've known chowdhury for quite a long time, i believe, haven't you? can you just explain to us the circumstances behind that interaction? >> it's been about, 18 years, i think i met him first at a protest. ironically outside the old bailey. i suppose, and since then, it's been, you know, a regular stream of, you know, meets over the years whenever he's been in the news or there's been a topic which, he has got some link to. and as the years went by, he would introduce me to his followers, his disciples. and i always thought it was useful to keep in contact because these people ended up going and fighting for isis. >> yeah, well , going and fighting for isis. >> yeah, well, yeah.

going and fighting for isis. >> yeah, well , yeah. absolutely. >> yeah, well, yeah. absolutely. i mean, the web of terror, anjem choudary is i managed to kind of embed himself in is absolutely astonishing, isn't it? so so it's fair to say, then, that anjan chowdhury isn't a massive fan of prince harry, i take it. and, did it come as a shock to you to find out that, you know, anjem is now facing life, you know, potentially more terror offences. >> it does, in a way. it feels a bit surreal because i've known this person for, you know, nearly 20 years i've been a journalist for, i think, 22. so i've known him nearly the whole time. we've, you know, i used to share a coffee with him. we were quite amicable. despite his sort of public persona, he was he was never threatening towards me. he's he's charismatic , he he can he's he's charismatic, he he can be strangely, you know, he can be strangely, you know, he can be strangely, you know, he can be strangely quite entertaining. but you always know there's that

edge with him, that it's a transactional relationship. he obviously he he did want the attention and he did want to be have his activities covered, but l, have his activities covered, but i, i didn't think that, the authorities would make a second case against him. stick i'm still surprised. really >> i think another aspect of this is interesting is he goes. so under a sharia court, prince harry would probably face the death penalty. i do believe that under a sharia court , actually, under a sharia court, actually, quite a few people would probably end up facing the death penalty for relatively minor things. but that said , he did things. but that said, he did also front up a group. did he? i think sharia for uk and had quite a few disciples, as you called them. there so he did conceivably. anyway, on paper , conceivably. anyway, on paper, actually want us to operate a shana actually want us to operate a sharia court and quite concerningly. i think for us, there were a lot of people in britain who also wanted that. >> i think the worrying thing with with chowdhury was that he

wasn't ever going to go and fight for isis himself on you know, pick up arms . know, pick up arms. >> but he was such a charismatic personality that he could encourage other people to go and effectively, you know, do his dirty work. i would, i would meet someone that he would introduce me to in, in, walthamstow , and, i'd get picked walthamstow, and, i'd get picked up at walthamstow station in a, in a, in a mercedes and driven to an area. they wanted to show me something for a story, didn't think much of it. and years later the guy turns out to, have become jihadi sid , one of isis become jihadi sid, one of isis is, executioners. he was, his real name, siddhartha dhar, his muslim name that he took when he converted, to islam from hinduism was abu rumaysah. and after he was , filmed doing,

after he was, filmed doing, propaganda video for isis, he was given the nickname jihadi sid. >> i mean, he picked me up . >> i mean, he picked me up. >> i mean, he picked me up. >> he he picked me up in a car at walthamstow station about 12 years ago for a story. >> i mean, it is just absolutely bonkers, isn't it, dominic, can i just say a massive thank you for, you know, getting us that this big exclusive, actually, really, to be honest with you, andrew and chowdhury's comments on prince harry, they're such a fascinating discussion off the back.i fascinating discussion off the back. i would really like to chat to you again soon, actually, possibly at more length. about anjum chowdhury and some of the experiences that you've had with him and others. dominic, thank you very much. take care. that was journalist dominic lemansky there coming up, the west continues to be plagued by quite on brand this isn't it? pro—hamas idiot . we isn't it? pro—hamas idiot. we will. send your daughter. well, i will show you benjamin

netanyahu's hilarious response to that shortly. but next, i'll deliver the very first of tomorrow's newspaper front

welcome back to patrick christys. tonight only on gb news. and i've got the very first look at tomorrow's newspaper front pages for you. god, it's all right. newspaper front pages for you. god, it's all right . okay. the god, it's all right. okay. the metro, £4 billion olympic support for team gb. on your marks. get set. gold. a million british fans are heading to paris for the olympics . well, paris for the olympics. well, good luck. right. the independent, harry, my battle with the tabloids is a central piece of royal family rift. well, unfortunately for prince harry, we did just play an exclusive anjem choudary, the islamist, talking about him earlier on. so it turns out he's not popular with him either. but officer suspended as outrage grows over head stamp arrest. that's the independent's take on the quotes. police brutality row. let's go to the daily mail .

row. let's go to the daily mail. labour's £300 green energy bill saving lie which which, you know , saving lie which which, you know, good for them. they've actually put in quotes. but ed miliband is forced to admit that his clean power revolution may not actually cut costs for families for years. who could have seen that coming? certainly not all of us. no, let's go to the eye. starmer warned against pension tax hit for 7 million savers. yeah, that's fair enough. we spoke about that last night with theo westwood actually that is conceivably massive. that pension here. let's go to the telegraph now chancellor to reveal £19 billion hole in finances . rachel reeves to blame finances. rachel reeves to blame the budget deficit as she prepares the ground for autumn tax raid. there's also another one here and it is quite convenient and nice to be slightly ahead of the times. we've just done a big segment on whether or not greater manchester police are going to give in to mob rule. well, here we go. the front of the telegraph mob rule warning over manchester policing protests and that i believe, comes from lord

walney , who's the government's walney, who's the government's independent adviser on political violence and disruption. formerly a labour mp, as well. let's just finish off with the daily mirror stab frenzy soldiers hero wife eileen, 46, confronted the attacker, and this is about the wife of the army officer, mark teeton , who army officer, mark teeton, who has been hailed a hero for trying to drag the attacker off him during stabbing. so that's what's on the front of the mirror there, right? i'm going to bring in my wonderful panel here. i'm going to get stuck straight into two, two labour lies, and i'm going to go with you , matthew the calcifies, the you, matthew the calcifies, the chancellor revealing a £19 billion hole in the finances. there's going to be an autumn tax raid. well, the tories were right, weren't they? labour's going to hike your taxes. and then also ed miliband, you know, then also ed miliband, you know, the bloke who plays ukulele near wind farms, £300 green energy bill saving is a lie. >> so i work for him. and he

never played his ukulele anywhere near me. >> well, what does that say? i don't know what that says anyway, but look, you know, this is this is this is ridiculous, isn't it? we've got a clean power lie. we've got a tax lie. we're only over many weeks. >> well, i mean, you know, they are in the two most tory supporting papers there. so, i mean, look, the finances are in a worse state as, as our public services than we than than than than labour feared. so they are going to have to it is true. it's not true. >> do you know why they're called? hold on. do you know why they're called public finances? because they're in the public arena. do you? anybody can google exactly how much the government is spending. that's utter nonsense. there is some surprise that if she if rachel reeves the chancellor didn't know this was coming, then she wasn't doing her job because wasn't doing herjob because it's in the public arena. >> well, not everything is in the public arena. i mean, no, it isn't. sure okay. we can play this kind of, you know , panto this kind of, you know, panto style game, but i'm not going to. look, i mean, i think that, you know, labour is probably is never said it wasn't going to put up taxes. it said it wasn't

going to put up national insurance and it wasn't going to put up income tax, there may have to be some tax on working people. there may have to be dead people. there may have to be some tax. tax changes. you know, around, around the edges capital gains tax. we were quite clear. one would have to be looked at for example. >> no, no, no, i know that net zero and all of that is a big is a big pet peeve of yours. you do a big pet peeve of yours. you do a fabulously on your show all the time. ed miliband forced to admit his clean power revolution, may not cut costs for families for years despite election pledges. so just a bit of detail on this. the labour's pledge to slash £300 off your energy bill. okay was just been branded a lie because the tories , branded a lie because the tories, have attacked them over it. but also they have now had to admit that actually there is a good chance that this isn't going to happen any time soon. nana. >> well, i mean, look, i took him as seriously as one of those creature comforts. remember those those british gas, nice and warm out there with the energy. he looks like one of those.i energy. he looks like one of those. i mean, to be rude, but you do. you're probably too young to remember that. but look, i literally listen to what

he was saying, and i just knew he was saying, and i just knew he was saying, and i just knew he was talking absolute claptrap. i mean, you're going to take fields and put solar panels . don't to take fields and put solar panels. don't be. so to take fields and put solar panels . don't be. so what are panels. don't be. so what are you going to do for food? what are you gonna do for food? i mean, what about the animals? you're going to put these wind farms up. do you know that those those propellers, that thing only lasts about 15 years or whatever. so you've got it, and you've got to get the thing there. how are you going to get it there? >> you need what do you can't you can't put it in a green mps constituency either because they just won't let you. well, so to be honest, i mean, and they kill animals as the, as the thing swings and they fly past, they're noisy, they're awful. >> he i don't know why. and they only work when the wind blows. and then he's talking about miles and miles of pylons across the united kingdom. i don't think that it's not realistic. they cannot harness the energy in that way. and i really think the plans don't make sense. the big thing is about energy security and the money that is going to save us, right? >> that's the lies that they've been going off money. well, on this, this is the problem, which is that actually if it's not going to save us any money,

what's the point? and it's not going to make us any more secure when it comes to our energy, then this has been a, you know, an expensive and potentially quite destructive mistake. >> the real problem here, this is the first of the thousand cuts that kills the labour party's manifesto. there will be a number of people who voted for this. they will see that it's not going to happen and they'll be very upset. that's the problem. >> well, look, i mean, what we needis >> well, look, i mean, what we need is to have energy security by having more energy made in britain, which is why ed has moved to, on both onshore and offshore wind and on solar power. in the first days of the labour government, there were only two weeks, you know, three weeks in, i think they're making those propellers for the wind farms. >> all right. >> all right. >> so, no, some of them have been made, some of them been made in grimsby. >> we will we will. you know, they say that grimsby looks a little bit like beijing in a certain light actually. but anyway, right now onto something else . benjamin netanyahu's visit else. benjamin netanyahu's visit to the united states has provoked a series of reactions , provoked a series of reactions, mostly unwelcome as the israeli prime minister had thousands of maggots dumped at the washington hotel where he was staying by

pro—palestine protesters. i mean, it's disgusting, isn't it? thousands of demonstrators showed their contempt towards netanyahu's visit in their own unique way, one which included the burning of the american flag, one which included the burning of other things as well. just take a look at this. well, netanyahu also gave quite a brilliant takedown of the old queers for palestine brigade. >> some of these protesters hold up signs proclaiming gays for gaza. they might as well hold up signs saying chickens for kfc. >> yeah, he's right, isn't he? and everyone knows they're right, apart from arguably gays for gaza. but right. coming up, prince harry continues his woe is me war on the tabloids. >> does your mother motivate you in this league ? in this league? >> yeah, the there's all sorts

of things that motivate me. >> well, we're going to be discussing his latest cry for attention, which apparently has just landed . plus, can you spot just landed. plus, can you spot what's wrong with this campaign poster? this is tom tugendhat's campaign poster. any any ideas? we've highlighted it in red. we'll discuss all of that and more as i deliver some more of tomorrow's front pages.

welcome back to patrick christys. tonight. i've got some more front pages for you. i'm going to start with the times. hospitals have gone unchecked for ten years at stunned , wes for ten years at stunned, wes streeting says the care quality commission is unfit for purpose. one inspector had never set foot on a ward, which, to be honest, does sound like a problem. >> that's not the yes minister's spoof, where there were no pages in the hospital. >> yeah, yeah, you know what thatis >> yeah, yeah, you know what that is actually brilliant. anyway, i've got time for that. right. okay. the guardian chancellor to reveal £20 billion shortfall in public finances. we touched on that a little bit earlier on. there we go. now, there is also quite a bit about there is also quite a bit about the olympics that are on the front pages there. as ever i'm joined by my wonderful panel. you know, they are by now. but this is this has happened, i think, whilst i was on air. so, you know, we're learning together for the first time now. prince harry appeared on itv tabloids on trial documentary, which aired tonight. speaking

about his phone hacking scandal ordeal, harry again spoke about his late mother's experience with the tabloids. but she wasn't paranoid, >> she was absolutely right of what was happening to her, to her. and she's not around today to find out the truth. >> does your mother motivate you in this league? >> yeah . the there's all sorts >> yeah. the there's all sorts of things that motivate me . of things that motivate me. >> he was also asked about his family's decision not to fight the tabloid battle with him. >> i think everything that's played out has, has, has shown people, what the truth of the matter is for me, the mission continues, but it has it has? yes. it's caused, as you say, part of a rift . part of a rift. >> and he then revealed this bombshell. >> it's still dangerous and all it takes is one lone actor, one person who reads this stuff to act on what they have read and whether it's a knife or acid or

whatever it is. and these are things that are genuine concern for me. it's one of the reasons why i won't bring my wife back to this country. >> okay. all right . well, nana >> okay. all right. well, nana so he won't bring i'm paraphrasing here, but he won't bnng paraphrasing here, but he won't bring meghan markle back to britain , in case she gets britain, in case she gets assassinated. >> well, let's be honest here. one lone actor is him because he's the one that went on about his kill count in in his whinge fest of a memoir spare, which then made him and his family and then made him and his family and the royal family and his his old comrades, where he worked with them, the soldiers he made them all targets. so i listened to him, and i look at his face. he looks like one of those. it's not a yorkshire terrier. it's one of those little windy, sort of yappy one of those little windy, sort of yappy sort of dogs, not, you know, and sorry for yorkshire terriers on that one, but it just always whingeing oh woe is me, oh poor me multi—millionaire i could have the world at my feet. why is everybody not whimpering like me alongside me? because it's ridiculous. yeah. he's going on about a bygone era. the press are not allowed to behave like the way they may have behaved in the past. phone

hacking. well, that doesn't happen anymore. it may have happened then. well, we hope, yeah, we hope, but the bottom line is this , you know, we line is this, you know, we nobody uses voicemail. he needs to. exactly. that's true . we to. exactly. that's true. we don't use faxes. we don't use voicemail. all right. he needs to move on. closure okay. >> all right. i mean, do you have some sympathy, sean, at all for some of the stuff he said there, notwithstanding what nana said, i do have some sympathy for him about the safety of his family. >> you only have to read what goes on, on, on social media. and he's right. these people organise pylons. they're legitimised by what they write about him in the paper. they legitimised by what's written about them in the paper. and it does put him and his family at risk. i happen to agree. >> well, he does. he put himself at risk. >> he may well have done, but but he's never done anything that's invited people to attack his family. but the things that are written about him and things that are on social media could lead to that. that could happen to anyone. >> all right. >> all right. >> okay. and. well, well, there we go. well, we will we will have to wait and see for the fuller version. like i said, i've been on air, so i haven't actually seen all of that.

>> at least he gets protection. >> at least he gets protection. >> but there we go. right okay. so, at the launch of great british energy in cheshire, it's my neck of the woods that sir keir starmer took the opportunity to remind us all of something that i'm sure that we've got to grips up by now, but you can have a look and listen. >> anyway, thank you for what you do, and thank you for being here this morning. we want to do a lot of work with you, and this is something the media will know. i said it many times in the election campaign. my dad was a toolmaker, and he worked particularly with steel, as you do in toolmaking of the sort that he was doing. and so this i love environments like this. this is what i grew up in, factories like this, with my dad doing the work that he did . doing the work that he did. >> he used to work with steel . >> he used to work with steel. okay. so now, tory leadership hopeful tom tugendhat's first crack at a campaign slogan didn't go down too well. his website, titled tom and ellie .uk, was in danger of skidding his campaign off the rails before it began. after initially
