support for the police officers who have been injured and the communities impacted by this mindless thuggery . there are a mindless thuggery. there are a number of actions that came out of the meeting . the first is we of the meeting. the first is we will have a standing army of specialist officers, public, duty officers, so that we'll have enough officers to deal with this where we need them. the second is we'll ramp up criminal justice there have already been hundreds of arrests. some have appeared in court this morning. i have asked for early consideration of the earliest naming and identification of those involved in the process, who will feel the full force of the law , over the full force of the law, over the full force of the law, over the weekend, violent clashes broke out between protesters and muslim counter—protesters in rotherham, a hotel used to house asylum seekers was set on fire and another in tamworth was targeted by anti—immigration protests. >> all right, joining me now to bnng >> all right, joining me now to bring us up to date on what is

happening today is gb news, home and security editor mark white. hello, mark. thank you very much for joining me this afternoon. mark. obviously we saw the most horrific scenes over the weekend. it was from the north of the country down to the south—west. so it is affecting south—west. so it is affecting so many places in the country. can you bring us up to date on any developments that we're seeing overnight? and indeed today? >> well, today really it's been about both the clean up and government and policing leaders meeting to discuss how on earth they deal with any more disorder in the days ahead. and in addition to that, of course, we've seen continued arrests as the police gather evidence on those responsible for scenes of violent disorder. and as you say, a number of towns and cities across the breadth of the country. the violence that we were seeing, you can see here, this is that hotel,

were seeing, you can see here, this is that hotel , the holiday this is that hotel, the holiday inn in rotherham, that was targeted by hundreds of protesters there. the police tried to hold the line, but quite frankly, they were outnumbered. and it was a very dangerous situation. of course, for those inside that hotel, so the police really are looking at what they do resources wise in the days ahead. now, there is nothing, dawn, that we've seen to indicate that there are any more protests of any significance that are being planned, to tonight or indeed in the next day or two. but there are for this weekend coming. so there might be a bit of respite we can only hope that there will be, because that's valuable time as well for the police to try to give some kind of arrest to those officers, those public order trained officers who were

on the front line of this violence. it's heavy going for them. they're wearing heavy pubuc them. they're wearing heavy public order kit in quite warm weather, dealing with violent situations . so if they can get situations. so if they can get some rest, that will make logistically it easier for the police service throughout the country to be able to ensure that they have enough resources. should we see more violence in the days ahead and mark, when we're saying we're watching the clean up operations on our screens now, i mean, this has left many, many towns actually completely devastated. >> and it's down to the local community themselves. so to, to take part in the clean up operation, do we have a feeling of, of what the towns that have been affected are feeling at the moment? i mean, is there still anger? there? is there despair? do they feel like they're getting enough support ? getting enough support? >> well, the anger there has been building for actually years now. long before southport happened. it's been just simmering away and has clearly

boiled over now in many communities . but having said communities. but having said that, people in those communities, you're right, have been out and have been cleaning up. it doesn't mean that others in the community aren't very concerned about what they see as a disintegration of the social fabnc a disintegration of the social fabric in those communities, that they feel that they're being treated very unfairly, and that sense of resentment has been building, as i say, not just for weeks or even months , just for weeks or even months, but years in those communities. and i think that the clearly the incident in and i say incident, the terrible, horrific events in southport have proved to be a catalyst for what we're seeing now. but it was building. i think we were likely to see disorder of this nature at some point, and that is something for the politicians to address. but

for the moment at least, the message from the politicians is one of toughness, of saying to those involved in this violence that it will not be tolerated, that it will not be tolerated, that to quote the home secretary, there will be a reckoning for those involved in these, violent scenes. and we had, of course, this meeting that took place in whitehall today, the cobra meeting, which police chiefs, government ministers, and of course , the ministers, and of course, the prime minister chairing that discussed the resources. and interestingly , after that cobra interestingly, after that cobra meeting, we had the country's most senior police officer, the met commissioner, sir mark rowley, leaving that cobra meeting and reacting, it seems quite petulantly to a question about two tier policing. when he grabbed a microphone and ripped it from the handle and the

basically the recording, the sound on that severed. at that point you can have a look and judge for yourself . judge for yourself. >> are we going to end two tier policing, sir? >> so there you see sir mark rowley scuttling across the whitehall. >> there , heading back to >> there, heading back to scotland yard, scotland yard issued a statement saying that he was in a hurry to get back into implement what had been discussed at cobra, >> mark wyatt, thank you very much. and i love the word scuttling. i think that sums up that behaviour perfectly. sir gb news home and security editor mark white. thank you very much for bringing us up to date, honestly, i'm sorry. i want a police chief that's going to be a police chief, not act like a spoilt toddler. but that's just me, all right? i'm joined in the studio now by gb. news, political guru. i think it's a fair description. the lovely

christopher hope. christopher. i mean, i keep watching that that that shot of mark rowley and i'm just i'm just wanting to punch something. to be honest with you, i've never seen anything so ridiculous in my life. but there was a cobra meeting this morning. so bring us up to date on what the great and the good leading us out of this mess of decided. >> well, as mark white was saying, the question they're asked of mark rowley was is the two tier policing? is are the police treating violence and troubles from different community groups differently? that's what some people say on on twitter social media hashtag two tier care has been trending all weekend, and the rest of it and well, frankly, he should have answered the question that was a pool microphone available for him to speak into. and secondly, it's almost a comment on the question is to fling it to the ground mic drop moment. and there's no need for that. i mean, why i don't know why he's done that now. we don't even know if mark rowley was in this cobra meeting. we know who was there. it was keir starmer, angela rayner, charmaine mahmood, the justice secretary, peter kyle, he's the technology secretary of course, with

oversight of twitter and other social media companies. lord hermer, the attorney—general, darren jones and treasury and yvette cooper, the home secretary. so a big group of people there met in this cabinet office briefing room. they agreed all sorts of areas. they were told there will be, a standing army of police to surge around the country to weather when they can see some trouble breaking out in towns and cities around the country. police can go there. the army will not be called in. it's not an army matter. despite the fact that a senior general was seen in number 10 around the time of the meeting. sir keir starmer wants to name offenders charged as soon as possible so they can be outed and named and shamed as the government would would see it , they, they, they we asked in it, they, they, they we asked in the lobby meeting, do you recognise there is concern about immigration around the country andifs immigration around the country and it's not far right to do that, the pm's spokesman said he was clear he didn't want to legitimise the violence by going there . but i think they do there. but i think they do recognise that, that in fact, the spokesman did say to us in

terms that there are issues with migration and immigration and it does put stress on communities. so they while recognising that nothing , and rightly so, nothing, and rightly so, nothing, and rightly so, nothing, can legitimise the violence. we've seen now, of course it can't. >> nothing does legitimise it. but i mean, all i'm hearing at the moment, christopher, is words , a star, a standing army words, a star, a standing army of police officers . was there of police officers. was there any explanation as to where this standing army of police officers is going to come from? given that most of us reporting a crime, you know, a burglary, we just get a crime. reference number. yeah. where's this coming from? >> well, and added to that, there's no pressure on the prisons. now, apparently we have been told they're going to release thousands of prisoners where they will do next month before they're even half their time. is served now last week. >> yeah. last week we had 700 spaces. yeah. >> and they're saying only 400 arrests over the weekend or since the trouble started after the southport killings. but we're told there's no there's no stress on, on the prison service. so i don't quite know how that works out. but i guess it is a moving number because people are moved through the

through the system, don't they, on the prison estate. so it can be that that number goes up and down. >> right. it would be very interesting to say. and it's like they are talking tough, which i think the people in those communities who have had their their, their, their cars torched, their, their shops torched, their, their shops torched, i mean, they torched a library, for god's sakes. i mean, go and read a book instead, so it's good news that we are talking tough. but the thing is, we've heard it before. yvette cooper. you know, these thugs. her words not mine, will fill the full force of the law. except that hasn't been true in the past, has it? so lots of people are asking today on here, you know, leeds, harehills, blm , you know, leeds, harehills, blm, attacking police horses. back in the day, the palestinian thugs that attacked jewish buildings in north london on the palestinian peace marches. why didn't we not get that reaction from the politicians then? >> that's a question that the government is unwilling to ask about. they deny there's two tier policing, i suppose, were police minister here. they might say that there's the forces have different policies around the country. so it might be that some go in with batons raised

more quickly than other parts of the country, and they try and have a soft, softer policing in some parts of the country. they say, though, that there is no policy of two tier policing. i i know until until i know it's not yourjob know until until i know it's not your job to know until until i know it's not yourjob to give an opinion, but until they address that situation and several politicians have come out and said i think it was, suella braverman at the weekend, was it? >> and kemi badenoch as well. they both said that, you know, integration we need to tackle this feeling around the country that some areas aren't being treated as fairly as others until they address that situation. this is not going to stop, is it? >> well, we haven't heard yet from the political leaders to say this trouble has broken out. >> it is appalling that is agreed. but across the board. but looking at the underlying reasons why it's bad in some parts of the country, why people are getting cross, why they're getting upset and why have people, not everyone who's campaigning, on the streets, not everyone is a far right thug, is the point. and that is what is

we're seeing in our our feedback, aren't we, from viewers and listeners ? viewers and listeners? >> very much so. a lot of very angry people, and they're getting angry by by being called far right by. how many times do you have to call someone far right before they actually become far right, because they're so angry and tarred with that brush? >> that's a worry. >> that's a worry. >> it is a huge thank you very much, christopher, for that, bnng much, christopher, for that, bring us up to date, i didn't i didn't feel very reassured by it. that cobra meeting. i don't know about you out there, joining us now is political commentator and contributing contributor for reason, a case. husain case, thank you very much for joining me. this afternoon, forjoining me. this afternoon, obviously, a lot to discuss , obviously, a lot to discuss, firstly, what do you make of what you saw over the weekend and what do you make of what you've heard from politicians this morning? >> i mean, i think it's horrific and hideous. >> what's happened? >> what's happened? >> i mean, i'm a student at hull and i'm going to talk about hull and i'm going to talk about hull and what we've seen is, you know, white supremacist saying, kill them, kill muslims , kill them, kill muslims, targeting immigrants. >> i mean, muslims are under siege . and i'm looking at from siege. and i'm looking at from hull perspective, but i mean, a kurdish garage was trashed, looting. i mean, it was just it was just abominable and it's

scary. and then if you look at, you know, all over the country, mosques have been targeted in hartlepool, sunderland, southport, asian men have been attacked. i feel scared, i feel petrified in my own country as a muslim man and as a person of colour and case. >> do you feel you're hearing enough from politicians that are going to sort this problem out and make people like you who are understandably frightened? i mean, when your places of worship are being attacked, do you feel like you've heard enough to reassure you ? enough to reassure you? >> no. >> no. >> absolutely not. i don't think sir keir starmer has even used the word islamophobia. >> you know, he hasn't actually said this is an attack on muslims. he's you know, he called it thuggery. he's called it racism is whatever. but he hasn't actually been clear because they're attacking muslims. i mean , there's muslims. i mean, there's countless stories, you know, of sikhs being attacked because they've been being perceived as muslims. so i think he should have been clear about that. and most concerning, what about the opposition? i've heard nothing from the respective conservative leaders. for the conservative leadership candidate candidates. i've heard nothing from them.

reform have released a statement, but nobody, no, nobody from the conservative party is saying anything about this case. >> i have to i have to ask you this question. i understand that, you know, many muslims are terrified and understandably so. i live in a part of east london where a lot of people like you share those concerns, but i have to ask about, you know, pictures ihave to ask about, you know, pictures i have seen of groups of young muslim men as well, you know, ostensibly defending places like mosques, but also behaving in quite a threatening way . what do quite a threatening way. what do you make of that behaviour? >> well, the thing is, though , >> well, the thing is, though, that, you know, people are saying, oh, muslims are fighting back. well you know, the far right came first. people's mosques are they're precious. it's their pride. you know, they're under siege and they're defending it because we have an inept police force. the police should have been there to protect the mosques, you know, civilians, people are having to protect the mosques themselves. it's, you know, the police. it's the police's job to do that. and i'm sorry, you know, people are not fighting back. it's just self—defence because they are saying kill muslims. you know, muslims are under siege. and, you know, i just happen to think, what if a woman with a headscarf walked down the streets in hull, she'd be

attacked, she'd be besmirched, beleaguered, you know, it's frightening. >> and i completely understand case. and obviously, you know, these things tend to happen at weekends when people aren't at work, and especially if there is nice weather. hopefully it's quieter today and hopefully it will remain so. but what are your thoughts with the coming weekend, where the weather is mostly over the country predicted to be quite nice as well. >> well, i actually think it's actually happened at a better time now because a schools are closed. so, you know, parents don't mix during, you know, picking the kids up from school. universities are closed, it's not ramadan, but it's, you know , not ramadan, but it's, you know, think what happens when we start in september again, when schools, you know, different demographics are mixed together. something gets said in the playground. you know, we're walking on thin ice. something could happen. and i actually am most scared when september starts again. when, you know, when my university opens again, i go to hull uni. when my university opens again, i go to hull uni . it'll be i go to hull uni. it'll be frightening walking from the train station to university , train station to university, exactly where these, you know, attacks were happening. that's what i'm more worried about when term time starts again. >> case just finally. we're running out of time very quickly, my love. but just just. do you feel in your lifetime. i

know you're quite young, but do you feel in your lifetime that it has ever felt as volatile as it has ever felt as volatile as it does now? >> oh, no, i think i generally think this is the worst time i mean, baroness hallett was he's been saying islamophobia is britain's bigotry, blind spot. and, you know, you have a few, you know, rogue people who say stuff, a few, you know, reprobates who say stuff on social media. but now it's just atrocious. absolutely atrocious. >> okay. case, that's case the seine , political commentator and seine, political commentator and contributor for reason. thank you very much for joining us this afternoon. and let's hope that, that the powers that be running the country make sure nothing horrible happens any further. but i'm not holding my breath. i'm not sure about you. we'll have lots more on this huge story throughout the show, so you don't want to miss it. really? and there's plenty of coverage on our website as well, which is gb news.com, you've helped to make it the fastest growing national news website in the country. just saying. thank you, now. but do you want some good news? we've got to have some good news, haven't we? yeah. let's go for it. now imagine having a £30,000 extra in your bank to play with this yeah in your bank to play with this year. what a holiday you could have. you could escape, couldn't

800m final this evening, but we have to talk about the royals first, don't we? now meghan markle has opened up about experiencing suicidal thoughts on us television. the first time she has spoken about this issue since that bombshell interview. how can you forget with oprah winfrey almost three years ago is a through line i think. >> and when you've been through any level of pain or trauma , i any level of pain or trauma, i believe part of our healing journey, certainly part of mine, is being able to be really open about it. and i, you know , i about it. and i, you know, i haven't really scraped the surface on my experience , but i surface on my experience, but i do think that i would never want someone else to feel that way, and i would never want someone else to be making those sort of plans, and i would never want someone else to not be believed. so if me voicing what i have, overcome will save someone or asks or encourage someone in

their life to really, genuinely check in on them and not assume that the appearance is good. so everything's okay, then that's worth it. i'll take a hit for that , that, >> right. okay, now the duke and duchess of sussex have launched a campaign to tackle online safety alongside parents who have tragically lost children to suicide. joining us now is gb news royal correspondent cameron walker , cameron, thank you very walker, cameron, thank you very much for joining walker, cameron, thank you very much forjoining me. now i'm sorry, i do get very, very cynical. it has to be said where meghan and harry are concerned because , these people are because, these people are launching something called the parents network when neither of them talk to their own fathers . them talk to their own fathers. but apart from that, tell us more about the initiative. they're launching. >> yeah, that's certainly a big criticism that people have been talking about to do with the duke and duchess of sussex and she clearly is a very good communicator. meghan markle, isn't she? and she perhaps is using this platform by talking about her own experience with

mental health and suicidal thoughts to spotlight something that she cares about with prince harry. and that is this new, as you say , parents network, which you say, parents network, which has been launched. it's part of their archewell foundation, their archewell foundation, their charity organisation connecting and offering help to parents who've lost a child by suicide related to social media use. so that's anything from cyber bullying, depression and anxiety, sexual exploitation, as well as eating disorders and other traumas. now, that interview clip you just heard was aired on sunday. it was with cbs, which is the same network which infamously aired the oprah winfrey interview from three years ago. and it's actually harry and meghan's first joint interview since that infamous , interview since that infamous, moment. and, you know, i think meghan, from looking at the full interview, she was a little bit taken aback that the interview interviewer asked her about her suicidal thoughts and bringing it back up again, but a line that meghan said was, i've only just scratched the surface with my experience now is that talking about she's just

scratched the surface in terms of her own ability to process what she's gone through as a working member of the royal family, or is that i've just scratched the surface. i have a lot more to say on this issue, and i don't think we know the answer to that yet. but having said that, it's clearly a very worthy cause. it's a very important cause. cause youth and suicide. 5 or 6 parents so far are signed up to this project, and the archewell foundation is encouraging many other parents who've gone through the same awful experience to get in touch and join the to network support each other. so it's open to the uk, us and canadian parents who have been affected, who've lost a child through suicide. >> brilliant. thank you very much, cameron walker, for bringing us up to speed there. on what our meghan and harry are doing about mental health. it's a very good cause. now, if you have been affected by any of the talking points today, samaritans are there day or night, 365 days are there day or night, 365 days a year, just call them for free on 116123. email them at joe at

able to cope with the grief. >> if it was me , i would have >> if it was me, i would have the inclination of killing myself because that's the way it makes me feel and that's why , i makes me feel and that's why, i mean, i've come from liverpool. i had to come from anywhere. today's just just to pay my respects. >> over the last week, people like lynn have travelled from far and wide to support this community in mourning. but in the face of such reckless hate, the face of such reckless hate, the residents of southport have come together. >> i feel angry at what's been done, but i refuse to allow it to make me a victim. you know it's not going to make me feel unsafe. this is this has always been a safe area and i'm not going to change. i don't want people to have to feel unsafe in their own homes because some idiot did something here in southport. >> flowers have been laid and candles have been lit. and although nothing can ever bring back the lives that have been

snatched away far too soon, this community will always remember them with love. sophie reaper . them with love. sophie reaper. gb news. >> absolutely heartbreaking scenes. aren't they just can't imagine what those families are going through with their little girls bedrooms as they were. they should have just come back from a dance class, shouldn't they? absolutely heartbreaking. we can now cross live to southport and speak to our reporter on the scene, jack carson. hi jack, thank you very much for joining carson. hi jack, thank you very much forjoining us this much for joining us this afternoon. jack, paint us a portrait of what it's like in southport at the moment . southport at the moment. >> well, jordan , to be honest, >> well, jordan, to be honest, you can still really feel how raw that the emotion is here. how raw the grief still is. of course, we're only a week on and already you can see, you know, this is this is just one of three locations in in the town here where there are just hundreds and thousands of flowers that have been laid here. i mean, we've got to the point now where there's so many flowers being brought. we've got

these temporary kind of, you know, bowls and kind of and buckets where there is, of course, water, you know, to keep these flowers fresh. and if we just come down here, you know, you can see one of the messages that somebody has laid with a wreath here, you know, keep dancing in the sky. beautiful angel girls , because that is, of angel girls, because that is, of course, you know, one of the important messages through this of, of , of course, remembering of, of, of course, remembering these three girls that died in this , in this horrific incident. this, in this horrific incident. bebe king, of course, who was just six years old. elsie dot stancombe at seven years old, and nine year old alice da silva aguilar as well. of course, you know, thankfully, the others that were injured in of course, in those in in that attack have been able to, you know, be be discharged from hospital and look like they are on the road to recovery. of course . but the to recovery. of course. but the fact is this community now is trying to come to terms with how they grieve. you know, these three girls, we know that there is going to be a double vigil later on today where members of the community will blow bubbles into the sky, and in the hope that those girls up there will, of course, get them. and what

we've heard today really is about messages from the community as well, and how well this community has stuck together and of course, in the face of everything else that has happened across the country over the past week, take a listen to what a few people have told us. >> amount of tributes has been fantastic, but i think the protesters have ruined part of the grieving for the families. >> couldn't believe that . why >> couldn't believe that. why are they doing this? it's not even people . we know anything even people. we know anything like that. i can't believe it. >> i can't believe these idiots going around with sort of mask on and everything trying to just attack everybody. at the end of the day, we're all human beings and you want to make a life for and you want to make a life for a life, don't you? you know, still can't get over it, you know, because my granddaughter's only five and she goes to a dance club and i think, gosh, you know, it could have been her. >> i think that last lady really epitomises the feeling, certainly, that i've got being in southport here today, that so many people feel like they've

got some kind of personal connection to this incident, not only because, of course, this is a small coastal town. you know, there are people here just enjoying themselves for the summer holidays. people that have come here, you know, to get a break away. and yet, you know, the people that live here are having to face and somehow deal with this tragedy. i mean, you can see here the amount of just soft, you know, toys and teddy bears that have been left here. actually a really lovely story. you can see probably some of them with kind of plastic covers on them. and actually, you know, earlier on in the week, members of the community when, when the weather took a turn for the worse, actually took in these, these soft bears and took them away for the evening so they wouldn't get rest so they wouldn't get rest so they wouldn't get rest so they wouldn't get wet and then brought them out the day after as well, you know. so you can you can just see that how much this community has come together, you know. yes. we've seen, you know, protests. yes, we've seen riots. but actually here on the ground in southport today, one week on the main message here is how much this community is still coming together. of course, i mentioned that vigil later on today as well. you can just see from the flowers are just one of these locations here that this

community still mourns. these three girls. >> oh yeah. that's going to be such a lovely touch. isn't a bubble vigil? i love that idea . bubble vigil? i love that idea. jack carson in southport forest, thank you very much. with that, that very emotional report. and those flowers . that's those flowers. that's incredible. that's an incredible display, isn't it? a very emotive indeed . thank you very emotive indeed. thank you very much, jack, now let's talk about the olympics. the boxer imane khelif has called on members of the public to put an end to their bullying. as the olympic gender rule keeps on going. i'm dawn neesom. this is gb news britain's news channel. don't get too

hello and welcome back. i'm dawn neesom on gb news for in martin daubney at 4:00. we'll hear from the prime minister who has announced plans for a standing army as opposed to a sitting down one of specialist police officers to tackle unrest

following several days of violence and algerian boxer imani khalife has called upon members of the public to put an end to the bullying row over questions about her gender. throughout the tournament. the 25 year old has repeatedly stated she is female, with her family is now concerned over her safety. but critics are up in arms, especially now. the box is guaranteed a medal and could even win gold, the director of campaigns sex matters, fiona mcdonagh , is joining me now to mcdonagh, is joining me now to talk about what's happened in the boxing and the olympics and what's happened in the press conference today. fiona, thank you very much for joining me, this is an issue again. many, many of our viewers are getting very annoyed about what do you make of what you've heard today and the behaviour of the ioc ? and the behaviour of the ioc? >> i think you're right to lead with the ioc, dawn, because this is fundamentally what the ioc want to happen. >> most of the other well, some of the other big sports in the olympics that are running their own events have got sex testing,

swimming. >> world aquatics has declared that they will sex test if they need to. but the ioc took over the boxing from the boxing authority . and this is their authority. and this is their belief that nothing matters except what you say you are and what's written in your passport. now, no one thinks that that imani khalife should experience any bullying or any unpleasantness, but quite honestly, if you're not prepared to prove your eligibility for a contest, then don't enter. you know, if you or i turned up and said we qualified for a junior event, someone would rightly say, well, prove to me that you're really a junior, and if khalife doesn't want any criticism, i would suggest that declaring or proving a sex test would be the easiest thing in the world. it could be done in a matter of hours. so this is on the ioc , but it's also really the ioc, but it's also really tough on the women who are in this competition, not just on the on the boxers who are being criticised . criticised. >> well, both the boxers who lost in bouts to iman and the other boxer that, is , is facing

other boxer that, is, is facing the same scrutiny. have ended up in tears in the ring. i mean, as a sports fan and as a boxing fan, i mean, it's heartbreaking to watch this and these women are now not going to get medals, not going to go through where maybe they would have, you know, would have done so if it had been a fair competition. now, the ioc are saying that, sex testing is not something it's old fashioned. it's not something people want in particular women. well, if you look at all the surveys, fiona, that's just not true, is it ? that's just not true, is it? >> i don't know why they're saying that other than their own belief. you know, in in 1996, in atlanta, more than a thousand women who were competing there were surveyed and 82% of them said they wanted sex testing. none the less, it was dropped at sydney, now, still, when asked the majority of women want sex testing because they want fair sport and they have nothing to hide, you may have heard at the iba conference this morning that, the national olympic committees of algeria and taiwan, chinese taipei warned

the iba to not release the sex test results of these two boxers. now, if they want this rule to go away, there's one easy way to do it. but they won't do it. >> it's how has it got to this stage, fiona? why was this not sorted out before the olympics started? i mean, it's not like it's a surprise. i mean , this, it's a surprise. i mean, this, this, this debate over these two particular boxers has been going on for a while now. it shouldn't have got to this stage. we shouldn't have boxers crying in the ring. >> no. and i have to say of all the problems of, males identifying or getting into women's events, i never thought we'd see it in boxing. the reason this is happening is because the ioc wanted this way. believe it or not, these are the ioc's rules. this isn't happening openly in other sports, but it's happening openly in boxing because the ioc set up a boxing unit to take over running the olympic boxing in tokyo and then again in paris from the iba. so their position is there should be no presumed

advantage for someone who has a transgender identity or a difference of sex development, this is how and they're defending this . they're saying defending this. they're saying crazy things in press conferences like, you can't tell who's a woman. there's no scientific consensus on who's a woman. and at the same time they're saying, khalife is a woman. now those two statements are incompatible . are incompatible. >> they absolutely can't both work, thank you very much. that's fiona mcdonough, our, from a campaign for a sex matters. thank you very much. now, sir keir starmer has announced plans for standing army, a specialist police officer to deal with violent disorder . officer to deal with violent disorder. i'm dawn neesom. this is gb news, britain's news channel. but now it's time for the all important weather with . alex. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar, sponsors of weather on gb. >> news . >> news. >> news. >> hello again. i'm here from

the met office with your gb news. weather forecast there will be some sunny spells. also a few showers around as we go into tomorrow, but most of us will see a spell of more persistent rain for a time due to a front that is gradually making its way south eastwards across the uk. that has already brought some rain to parts of scotland and northern ireland, and will continue to bring some heavy rain, particularly to the borders dumfries galloway area as we go through this evening could cause some impacts here. also, some heavy rain across parts of northwest england and into wales as well. that front then pushing south eastwards so reaching the midlands and south west england as we go overnight ahead of the front in the south—east still quite warm despite some clear skies. something a little bit fresher behind the front towards the northwest. now as we go through tomorrow morning, do be aware there could be some heavy bursts of rain along this front, particularly around east midlands. could be some thunder in association with this as well. also a bit of a wet start across central southern england, but ahead of the front and behind it, something a bit brighter. so across parts of wales, northern england ,

wales, northern england, scotland and northern ireland it is generally going to be a fine start to the day tomorrow. that being said, there will be a few showers around, particularly out towards the hebrides, and some of these could be a little bit on the heavy side. those showers are going to become more widespread as we go through tomorrow, so across many parts of scotland and northern ireland we are going to see a fair few showers developing as we go through the day. meanwhile, that front continues its progress eastwards across east anglia and parts of kent , eastwards across east anglia and parts of kent, but it's going to be mostly light by the time it reaches these eastern parts. again, temperatures are similar to today really, so mid 20s towards the south—east, feeling warm in any sunshine. a bit fresher than this towards the northwest . more showers as we go northwest. more showers as we go through tomorrow evening across scotland and northern ireland in particular. a few showers perhaps for parts of western england and wales. otherwise a largely dry night to come. a cooler, showery theme for many on wednesday. the heavier showers towards the northwest, then some rain pushing through at times later this week. >> that warm feeling inside from

the police for their work over the police for their work over the last few days to express my support for the police officers who have been injured and the communities impacted by this mindless thuggery. there are a number of actions that came out of the meeting. the first is we will have a standing army of specialist officers, public, duty officers, so that we'll have enough officers to deal with this where we need them . with this where we need them. the second is we'll ramp up criminal justice. there have already been hundreds of arrests. some have appeared in court. this morning. i have asked for early consideration of the earliest naming and identification of those involved in the process. who will feel the full force of the law . the full force of the law. >> yes, of course . now, over the >> yes, of course. now, over the weekend, violent clashes broke out between protesters and muslim counter—protesters in rotherham . a hotel used to house rotherham. a hotel used to house asylum seekers was set on fire and another in tamworth was targeted by anti—immigration

protesters. we're joined now by gb news home and security editor mark white to bring us up to date on what has happening and the clear up today . mark, hi. the clear up today. mark, hi. thanks for joining the clear up today. mark, hi. thanks forjoining us again. mark, can you indeed bring us up to speed on the aftermath of the weekend's troubles? >> well, the police are just preparing now and planning for the potential of more protests. there hasn't been anything that has been confirmed as yet in terms of protests, but there are now some messages circulating on social media talking about a protest that may be planned in the midlands. we won't say anything more than that, because as i say, these are not confirmed reports at this stage, i mean, the hope is clearly after a weekend in which we saw very significant disorder in multiple locations across the country that things might just calm for down a few days at

least we know there are multiple other protests being planned for the weekend ahead, if there are, there is more in the way of protests this week. during the week that's going to actually, really put a strain. i think, on the police and notwithstanding the police and notwithstanding the prime minister's comments about a standing army, i'm not sure where he thinks his standing army is going to come from. the police at any given time are up against it in being able to respond to the daily demand that they have in terms of calls from the public to reports of crime and other incidents that they have to deal with. so talk of a standing army. well, yes, they may pull officers of other duties, other frontline duties that will not get the same level of priority. now from officers going forward, to be able to produce this

standing army as the prime minister describes it. but even that even this public order reserve is going to get pretty tired if this kind of disorder continues, over not just 1 or 2 days, but through your for a week or however long. i mean, the good thing, at least in terms of what history tells us about public order situations, is that they normally have a finite lifespan of about a week or ten days, and then people do run out of energy and enthusiasm. we just have to hope that that is what happens on this occasion, >> mark, i wasn't i wasn't overly impressed by sir mark rowley's behaviour this morning. i mean, it wasn't very reassuring, was it? >> no. it seemed quite petulant from the normally very measured metropolitan police commissioner. he had been at that cobra meeting , along with

that cobra meeting, along with others, discussing the planning for what is coming ahead in terms of any other protests and potentially disorder. he was, as he left that cabinet meeting . he he left that cabinet meeting. he then was asked what he planned to do to end two tier policing by the pool reporter. the broadcast reporter , acting on broadcast reporter, acting on behalf of all of the broadcast media, and clearly you can judge for yourself. but he grabs a microphone, pulls it out of the handle to the bewilderment of our colleague who was acting for the pool. just take a look . the pool. just take a look. >> are we going two tier policing, sir? >> so, sir, mark rowley just, scurrying off quick march off to

scotland yard and that indeed is what scotland yard said. that was how they excused him grabbing the mic. he was in hurry. >> in a hurry, indeed, yes. aren't we all? thank you very much. a home and security arade dam mark white. they're bringing us up to date on. who's in charge of the policing in this country or the met police, for sure. now i'm joined in the studio by gb news political editor christopher hope, who is going to bring us up to speed on the actual cobra meeting that took place today. yes, we've heard bits and pieces come out. what do you make of what you've heard? >> yeah, quite, quite a big meeting. the first cobra meeting its met since the southport murders . although there has been murders. although there has been meetings outside of this cabinet office briefing room where it happens. keir starmer there. angela rayner, the local government secretary shabana mahmood. justice secretary peter kyle, he's the tech secretary with oversight of social media companies. lord hermer, the attorney general darren jones from the treasury. in case more money is required . rachel reeves money is required. rachel reeves in america of course. and yvette

coopen in america of course. and yvette cooper, the home secretary along with the police chiefs and it looks like we think mark rowley was there, but number 10 won't say so. but certainly the way he appeared after the meeting ended, it looked like it looked like he was there. >> it's quite suspicious timing. >> it's quite suspicious timing. >> if he was just in a hurry. >> if he was just in a hurry. >> yes, >> yes, >> number 10 has made clear they don't believe there's two tier policing. the answer was no to that question. in the lobby briefing, you saw what mark rowley did when he was asked a question. he threw the microphone to the floor. whether that was the answer or not. this mic drop, they're trying to put the pressure on the offenders and ensure that the they're getting a tough message from the central government. the army won't be called in, but something called a new standing army of specialist police officers will be deployed around the country to parts of the country to surge towards trouble when it occurs. if it occurs, they're going to try and name any offenders as soon as they can. so they're named and shamed in the local communities, we are seeing the lobby briefing about,

do they recognise there were concerns about immigration, that not everyone is far right if they're concerned about it. but they're concerned about it. but the number 10, we're very clear they don't want to give any kind of legitimacy to the mob violence that we've seen. and no one is saying there is any any legitimacy to that. but there is concern out there about migration to and jump everyone into the same basket of far right is what annoys people, because people don't think they're far right. if they're against immigration. in terms of recalling parliament just finally dawn, that is off the agenda for now. might return next week. the focus , they say, next week. the focus, they say, is on ensuring communities are protected rather than asking for mps to be recalled. and i can see why that is because it does cost. i think, several hundred thousands of pounds to recall parliament for one day. more staff comes in, more food in the in the restaurants and the bars. and also we have to pay for each mp to get back from holiday wherever they might be. that could be thousands. >> did i mean very quickly do keir mentioned his own holiday? is he going? >> is he staying? he's not

going. >> this week as planned. he's round all week. he might be next week, but he's in the downing street all this week. right. >> okay chris, thank you very much for joining >> okay chris, thank you very much forjoining us. holiday time isn't it. right now we are joined by former police sergeant harry tanguay to talk about how the actual policing on the ground has gone. harry, thank you very much for joining me. just reading a message from one of our viewers, a former police officer, saying he's not happy with how the police are being organised by the their bosses on the front line. what do you make of what you've seen of the policing so far? >> yeah, i'm always very reserved. >> you could be so careful because i've seen so many people jump because i've seen so many people jump to conclusions, but there was a there's a good twitterer on x called brick cop, ironically enough, he's a response officer in the met, and he just reminded people of a very interesting document called the app. it's the authorised professional practice . professional practice. >> it comes from the home office. >> it goes through the college of policing, and they tell you how to organise and how to deal with public order. and i suppose

the nearest to two tier policing you might be considered is certain sentences such as relevant planning, should also consider potential impacts to the community where the event is occurring, as well as the broader community who may be affected by the event and policing operation. there's a couple of other similar , similar couple of other similar, similar things there. >> so are we dealing with different communities differently ? differently? >> there's a really important thing to remember as well. spontaneous is very different from pre—planned. spontaneous. you will not have the guys in the helmets and the, you know, guys and girls and the helmets and the shields. it takes a while to get those together. and if there's, if there's information that there is serious violence expected , then serious violence expected, then there's time to bring that together. and you may even get a mix where some people just aren't. a lot of people aren't qualified in that level two, which is the helmet situation, >> do you personally believe there's two tier, two tier policing ? policing? >> harry, can i say i'm uncomfortable , and i think it is

uncomfortable, and i think it is that there was a phrase , which i that there was a phrase, which i think is true to a certain extent, but can be misused. and i remember in my sergeant's, interview, this this was was the key phrase and it said people should, should be not be treated equally , but according to their equally, but according to their individual needs. now, that can be abused and that could be, where we might get accused of lots of horrible things if we go in too hard. so let's pull back. let's see how things go, there's, now there's a protest thatis there's, now there's a protest that is well advertised. it's something that we won't get so much criticism. so i think we can show ourselves what, you know as going in hard. can show ourselves what, you know as going in hard . what know as going in hard. what i really want to emphasise is these police officers, i'm getting i'm getting messages from police officers saying, harry, you're a bit racist now, what a shame. i'm getting other messages saying, please keep it up. you're saying what we all, many of us think, and you know, more than anyone is a thin line to tread. and you can't please everyone all the time. it it's a

difficult situation, but police officers are having this block paving and so on being thrown at them. can people look at their driveway? look at that block paving, and imagine that raining down on you in tens and hundreds and police officers , ordinary and police officers, ordinary men and women, are being put in hospital . it's just got to stop. hospital. it's just got to stop. and i fully support robust policing and high convictions because there's no excuse. we do have an underlying bubbling problem that needs to be sorted and is being ignored by the prime minister, and that isn't helping. and like we said before, all being roped in, myself included, as a potential far right, i object to thank you very much. just because i don't believe in huge amounts of uncontrolled immigration. >> okay. that's fine, thank you very much. harry, thank you for joining us. we're running out of time there. but as i said, you know, police officers are ordinary human beings. they go home. they have families as well. we'll have lots more on that huge story at all coming

welcome back. i'm dawn neesom on gb news for in martin daubney.

later in the show we'll have the latest from day ten of the olympics, where wigan's amazing keely hodgkinson will go for gold in the women's 800m final this evening. now. but first of all, the royals meghan markle has opened up about experiencing suicidal thoughts on us television the first time she has spoken about this issue since that bombshell oprah winfrey interview almost three years ago. now is a through line, i think, and when you've been through any level of pain or trauma , i believe part of our or trauma, i believe part of our heaung or trauma, i believe part of our healing journey, certainly part of mine, is being able to be really open about it. >> and i, you know , i haven't >> and i, you know, i haven't really scraped the surface on my experience , but i do think that experience, but i do think that i would never want someone else to feel that way, and i would never want someone else to be making those sort of plans. and i would never want someone else to not be believed. so if me voicing what i have, overcome

will save someone or asks or encourage someone in their life to really, genuinely check in on them and not assume that the appearance is good, so everything's okay, then that's worth it . i'll everything's okay, then that's worth it. i'll take a hit for that , that, >> the duke and duchess of sussex have launched a campaign to tackle online safety alongside parents who have lost tragically lost children to suicide . joining us now is gb suicide. joining us now is gb news royal correspondent cameron walker to explain exactly what this is all about. cameron, hi, we have heard meghan and harry talk about their mental health issues before in the past . so issues before in the past. so tell us more about this. this site they're launching . site they're launching. >> yes, it's very serious topic, a very ambitious site that the duke and duchess of sussex have launched this weekend. it's called the parents network and it's set up in collaboration with 6 or 7 groups of parents who have lost, tragically, a child to suicide linked to their

social media use. so it's connecting and offering help to parents who've lost a child. and that can be anything from cyber bullying, depression and anxiety , bullying, depression and anxiety, sexual exploitation, eating disorders and other traumas. and sadly, there are too many examples across the world and meghan and harry have decided to tackle this very important topic, but also very difficult topic, but also very difficult topic to cover . now, topic, but also very difficult topic to cover. now, meghan's critics, we heard from that clip, there were she was talking about her own experience of suicidal thoughts when she was a working member of the royal family. her critics will say, why on earth is she making it all about herself? to be fair to meghan, when the journalist jane pauley asks her, she, the jane pauley asks her, she, the jane pauley specifically asked her about her suicidal thoughts and she was a working member of the royal family, she wasn't expecting it. she did give to be fair, quite an eloquent answer. and prince harry then talks about the fact that all parents across the world need to be first responders when they're talking about helping their children overcome mental health

problems related to social media use. there's lots of help and resources on the archewell website. it's open to families in the uk, us and canada who are going through this kind of issue. but as i said, it's very ambitious and i think it's going to be a while before we see if any of the words we've heard from duke and duchess of sussex in this interview. have any substance or any tangible impact going forward. >> brilliant. that's our royal correspondent , >> brilliant. that's our royal correspondent, cameron walker, bringing us up to date on meghan and harry's latest venture onto mental health. thank you very much. i'm joined now by the editor at large of the mail on sunday, charlotte griffiths, to talk about the same subject. charlotte, thank you very much. lovely to see you, charlotte, i mean, the idea of these two launching a parenting website when neither of them actually talked to their own dads is the irony is not lost on me. what do you make of what you've heard from them in this tv interview, >> well, they have come under a lot of slack because, today in the daily mail for example, they asked the question, well, what

about her dad? is there some sort of group that her dad can go to because he's not very well. he's getting on in age and he has very, you know, vocally expressed fears that he may never meet his grandchildren. so i suppose, i mean, i don't think the two things are directly unked the two things are directly linked , obviously, but i see linked, obviously, but i see what you're saying there because they're obviously, very kind and charitable people, but they charity starts at home sometimes and they don't seem to extend that to, to their own parents in some cases, and their own family. >> do you, do you think that will detract from what they're doing, or are they more this is mainly a us based project. are americans more sympathetic to harry and meghan still ? harry and meghan still? >> i think so. i think the cause is genuinely, incredibly important. it's, you know, onune important. it's, you know, online harm is a really serious thing. it's really hard to knock their noble aims. and they are, of course, parents. so, you know, i'm a parent of three children. i worry about this kind of thing a lot. so i think i think kind of thing a lot. so i think

ithink in kind of thing a lot. so i think i think in america, i think here as well, they will have more of as well, they will have more of a sympathetic audience on this one. and meghan has very cleverly laid the groundwork for a, you know, being believed when she speaks about these kind of things. she has said, you know, it really affects her when she's not believed. and i think over on this side of the pond, there's a lot more criticism. people tend to sort of not believe her word salad, and they're a bit more sceptical about the way she speaks about things. so she was quite kind of quick to guard against that, whereas i think in america they're much more responsive to that touchy feely language word salad that they, they do and they and it just goes down better over there . better over there. >> i think the other thing that might detract from this , might detract from this, charlotte, is the fact that, harry has said recently he is too frightened to bring meghan over to the uk for fears over their safety, but they are on a going on a trip to colombia. one of the countries the government of the countries the government of america and the uk advise you not to travel to because of the crime rate and a lot of people are going, well, hold on a

minute. how can colombia be safer than windsor? >> i think that is i think that is a bit, hypocritical because of course, if they're staying at buckingham palace, windsor castle, any of these places where they have been offered rooms before, they'll be completely and utterly safe. and if they were desperate to see, you know, charles and for the kids to see charles, i think they would they would make it work. they can make columbia work. they can make columbia work. they can make columbia work. they can make this work , work. they can make this work, so i do think there is some hypocrisy there. yeah, of course there is. >> yeah. and the reason they're going is to talk about mental health as well is a similar thing, isn't it. so it's a great charlotte griffiths, at charlotte griffiths, at charlotte griffiths, at charlotte griffiths, editor at large on the mail on sunday. thank you very much for joining us. we are running out of time. unfortunately. now, if you have been affected by any of the talking points today, samaritans are there day or night, 365 days are there day or night, 365 days a year. you can call them for free on 116123. email them at jo—anne nadler. britain's .org or visit samaritans.org to find your nearest branch. now there is lots more coming up on today's show, and we'll be live

in southport a whole week on can you believe it? a whole week on from the awful killings of those three little girls that triggered the protest and violence across the uk. but first, let's get the latest news headunes first, let's get the latest news headlines with sophia wenzler. >> dawn. thank you. it's 331. i'm sophia wenzler in the gb newsroom. the prime minister says a so—called standing army of police will respond to disorder on the streets. sir keir starmer has been speaking after chairing an emergency meeting of the government's cobra committee. >> in relation to the police. i am absolutely clear that we will have the officers we need, where we need them to deal with this disorder, and that is why the standing army has been set up. specialist officers ready to be deployed to support communities on the question of prisons. firstly, we're monitoring it on a daily basis. i'm appalled that

we've been put in this position by the previous government. that is even a discussion. it's even a question that you have to ask me. but we will make this work and ensure that we've got the places that are needed to bring the perpetrators swiftly to justice. >> it comes as a wave of people have appeared in court in cities across the country charged over the ongoing unrest . overnight in the ongoing unrest. overnight in rotherham alone, six arrests were made and one person has been charged after at least 12 police officers were injured dunng police officers were injured during disorder outside a hotel. meanwhile, a 14 year old boy has pleaded guilty to violent disorder in liverpool, while a judge in belfast has described scenes as absolutely disgraceful. meanwhile several countries have issued safety warnings to their citizens in the uk due to the riots. nigeria malaysia and indonesia have sent out alerts telling people living or visiting the uk to stay away from demonstrations . police

the attack took place. she says if it were her, she wouldn't be able to cope with the grief. >> if it was me, i would have the inclination of killing myself because that's the way it makes me feel. and that's why, i mean, i've come from liverpool, i had to come from anywhere. today is just to pay my respects. >> over the last week , people >> over the last week, people like lie—in have travelled from far and wide to support this community. in mourning. but in the face of such reckless hate, the face of such reckless hate, the residents of southport have come together. >> i feel angry at what's been done, but i refuse to allow it to make me a victim. you know it's not going to make me feel unsafe. this is this has always been a safe area and i'm not going to change. i don't want people to have to feel unsafe in their own homes because some idiot did something here in southport , flowers have been southport, flowers have been laid and candles have been lit. >> and although nothing can ever

bnng >> and although nothing can ever bring back the lives that have been snatched away far too soon, this community will always remember them with love. sophie reaper gb news. >> we can cross live to southport now and speak to our reporter jack carson . hi jack, reporter jack carson. hi jack, how's the feeling in the town today ? today? >> well, when we've been here, it really has been that raw grief that is still so poignant here. and the love, as you heard in sophie's piece there is being shown with these beautiful flowers that are being laid. this is just another location, dawn, where flowers and cuddly toys and teddies are all being laid with with special messages. of course, to remember those three girls bebe king, who of course was six years old, elsie dot stancombe, who was seven years old, and nine year old alice da silva aguilera, of course, were all killed in that horrific incident . of course, horrific incident. of course, five others injured, of course,

two as well. those teachers taking that dance class all taken to hospital. one child still remains in hospital. of course, after this attack. but you can just see here, you know as well as there's been rain dunng as well as there's been rain during the week, members of this community have come out and put these cuddly toys in bags to make sure that they, of course, stay dry during this. and that's really been the other message that we've seen here today. just the strength of the community coming together. there's going to be another vigil. of course, now that we're a week on tonight, a bubble vigil where members of the community are going to blow bubbles to the sky to hope that those three girls, of course, can catch them looking down on them as of course, as they remember them once again, we've been speaking to members of the community here today about how they felt, of course, about the protests and the riots. we've also seen, you know, after, of course, this tragic incident. here's what they've told us today. >> amount of tributes has been fantastic. but i think the protesters have ruined part of the grieving for the families .

the grieving for the families. >> couldn't believe that. >> couldn't believe that. >> why are they doing this? it's not even people we know anything like that. i can't believe it. >> i can't believe these idiots going round with the sort of mask on and everything, trying to just attack everybody at the end of the day, we're all human beings, and you want to make a life for a life, don't you? >> you know, still can't get over it. you know, because my granddaughter's only five and she goes to a dance club and i think, gosh, you know, it could have been her. >> yeah, that's that's really the message that we've got so many times speaking to people is, is that personal connection stock? southport is of course a, you know, a small coastal town. lots of people here know each other, feel connected. of course, as well. and, you know, these girls had gone to this dance class trying to enjoy the start of the summer holidays, had gone with their friends, and of course they end up, of course, dying in such a horrific incident and the outpouring of grief, you know, still remains here. you know, behind me you

can see people once again taking their time to remember those three girls taking their time to come and read the memorials here. you know, this has been happening all day since we've been here. you know, people still feel like they they want to come and show their respect, of course, for what's happened. want to come and lay flowers? of course. you know, we're in the town centre today where the flowers have built up. and these other two places around southport as well. this, this outpouring of grief has been strong. one week on, of course, the vigil tonight will will mean that this community can still come together and remember them . come together and remember them. >> that's lovely. jack carson they're bringing us up to date on southport today and the lovely tribute with the bubbles tonight. that sounds so lovely. i love that idea. thank you very much, jack. we will have much more on the political fallout from the riots, after 5:00 for you. lots of you have messaged and are not happy with sir keir starmer and that's putting it mildly. they say literally many of you are saying that literally. his behaviour today will trigger more riots, lots

more on that to come. i'm dawn neesom. this is gb news britain's news channel. we'll see you

soon. hello. welcome back. i'm dawn neesom and you're watching gb news now at 5:00. we'll hear from the prime minister who has announced plans for a standing army of specialist police officers to tackle unrest following several days of frankly horrible, horrific violence. but for now, we're going to talk about the bbc. the government has said huw edwards should repay his £200,000 salary of your money, by the way, that he received following his arrest over making indecent images of children. joined by gb news reporter adam cherry. joining me in the studio. it's lovely to have company in the studio. i got very excited by that, adam. right. explain what's going on with this story. lots of people

getting annoyed again by this one. >> yeah. so downing street today sticking its order in and saying that they he's the prime minister himself is shocked and appalled by this, as i think we all are . rightly. all are. rightly. >> i'd be surprised if we said anything else. well, exactly right. >> exactly. and saying essentially backing what the culture secretary said over the weekend. so lisa nandy saying, weekend. so lisa nandy saying, we think that huw edwards should somehow repay the cash that he was paid over that period between april and november. excuse me? november and april of this year of this year, he received £200,000. right. if you see the pay rise after the bbc knew that he'd been arrested in november. yeah, right. >> they gave him a pay rise. >> they gave him a pay rise. >> they gave him a pay rise. >> they gave him a pay rise knowing what had happened and knowing what had happened and knowing that he'd been charged. so there are questions of how do you go about recouping that money, really? i mean, you can't there's no way you can do it. he's already received it. there's no legal mechanism for that. and that's essentially what tim davie, the director general, has said over the weekend. and, and today, you know, we'd like to there's some sort of moral duty to try and

get this money back, but we can't do anything about it. no. you can't. no. so that's understandable. i think where it's slightly murkier is the fact that he's also entitled to this golden 300 grand a year pension. >> yes . >> yes. >> yes. >> right. so that too is he's still as far as we understand it, entitled to and going to accept that now again, lisa nandyin accept that now again, lisa nandy in downing street saying they'd like to see that undone somehow. but as far as i can tell , there's no way that they tell, there's no way that they can legally gain. >> how can they legally do it? i mean, it's within his right to take what is his. >> well, exactly. yeah. so i mean , we'll see. but i would be mean, we'll see. but i would be very surprised about that nonetheless . they did say today nonetheless. they did say today the government still backed tim davie. they still have full confidence in him despite his knowing about this for a long time. but they say he acted appropriately given the circumstances. i mean, to be fair to him, i think this is an impossible situation very delicate, very difficult. and so they've said , you know, they're they've said, you know, they're not calling for his head at this point. >> right. okay. well, thank you very much, adam, for bringing us

up to date on that one. remember, that's your money, by the way. taxpayers money, last week, bbc director—general tim davie said the corporation would look at all options in trying to reclaim pay from edwards, but ruled out doing the same face pension due to legal reasons. you just heard, adam said. basically, there doesn't seem to be any way they can actually do it, but now for something completely different, as i believe someone once said, a new study. bear with me on this one. a new study has found a greenhouse gas emissions could be cut by 30% if wait for it. cows. cows were fed pills to suppress the i can't even read this out to suppress their burps, right? okay, this is mad. according to research tablets, reduced methane could become a cost effective way to prevent cows from belching as often as 60 times more profitable than relying on nature, well, we have to talk about burping cows, don't we? why wouldn't we? we need a bit of light relief. or is it joined now by liam hardy,

the spokesperson for the green alliance? liam, thank you very much for joining alliance? liam, thank you very much forjoining me. now i'm giggling because a burping cow is intrinsically quite funny . is intrinsically quite funny. you're not laughing though, are you ? you? >> we do all need a bit of light relief occasionally, dawn, but obviously this is a serious issue.i obviously this is a serious issue. i think none of us want to see, more extreme weather events that we've been experiencing in the uk, like the extreme heatwaves we've had over the last couple of summers, and the last couple of summers, and the record breaking rainfall ehhen >> and in fact, farmers are struggling with this most of all in many cases from, you know, the flooding, taking out many of their crops. and they're also struggling with, with costs, you know, increasing costs of energy and inflation and things like that. so when we talk about climate change, we often talk about carbon dioxide and, and fossil fuels . but actually we fossil fuels. but actually we often overlook methane. and the huge role it plays in, in warming our planet. huge role it plays in, in warming our planet . so at the warming our planet. so at the moment, the government, pays farmers and supports farmers to do good things for the

environment and for climate change, as well as obviously growing food, but what it doesn't do is pay them to use what we think is a very cost effective and simple intervention, which is these methane suppressing, additives that you can mix into the cows diets, which really does cut methane emission by up to 30%. >> so we'd like to see very expensive. >> i mean, is that the reason they're not doing it? >> no, it's actually very cheap. and in fact, that's what we've shown in our analysis. so it costs less than half a penny per pint of milk produced, which is less than 1% of those overall costs. so it's a really cost effective way of, of bringing down methane emissions. and it's very simple and very safe . this very simple and very safe. this is a these products have been tested around the world in hundreds of trials. and in the uk and, you know, pretty simple stuff in the same way you and i might take some protein powder if we after we've been to the gym and protein powder made mostly of cow's milk. actually we use that to supplement our

diet, we could help cows supplement their own diets with these things, these methane suppressants to help them reduce their methane emissions. >> this would stop both sort of like bottom burps as well as as mouth burps. would it ? mouth burps. would it? >> it reduces the methane that they produce in their stomachs. >> and also growing up about this liam, through the front, >> but some comes through the back as well . yeah, back as well. yeah, >> liam, how safe is it, though, if we're giving it to cows, how safe is it? you know, in in the dairy products we get from cows and the meat itself? i mean, it's perfectly safe for humans. >> yeah, absolutely. the product we're talking about, in particular, bovaer, has been , particular, bovaer, has been, approved by the food standards agency in the uk a couple of months ago. and as i say, it's been tested all around the world on on hundreds and thousands of cows over the last few years. so we know it's very safe and we know it's very effective. so the question is, well, why don't we crack on with it and start feeding it to cows? because it can be effective immediately and bnng can be effective immediately and bring those emissions down. >> brilliant. well, that's liam

duty officers, so that we'll have enough officers to deal with this where we need them. the second is we'll ramp up criminal justice there have already been hundreds of arrests. some have appeared in court this morning. i have asked for early consideration of the earliest naming and identification of those involved in the process, who will feel the full force of the law . the full force of the law. >> so many of you are so angry about him today. are they really are. i can't , i've lost. i think are. i can't, i've lost. i think it was jim. your name was. it's like, you know, i'm just concerned about migration. why is everyone saying that's far right? i mean, it's like so many of you echoing that sentiment, but obviously over the weekend, the violent clashes broke out between protesters and muslim counter—protesters in rotherham. a hotel which that was used to house asylum seekers was set on fire and another in tamworth was targeted by anti—immigration protesters. joining me now is gb

news political editor christopher hope. thank you for coming to the studio. christopher, it's lovely to see you, dawn. it's quite lonely in here, but honestly, the anger from viewers on here about what they've heard keir starmer kind of not say today. yeah, today in our briefing, we asked the prime minister's official spokesman what what is far right. >> what's your definition ? which >> what's your definition? which my answer to jim's question, i don't know . the spokesman said don't know. the spokesman said that people who are violently targeting people based on the colour of their skin or their faith, that is what the pm meant when he spoke about far right thuggery. he also talked about immigration. and we said to him, well, if you're worried about immigration, are you far right? and the answer was the pm has talked before about legitimate concerns about immigration. that's not the issue here. we can't legitimise people violently targeting people because of the colour of their skin or their faith. so what the government's doing here is trying to go in after the people on the screen now, not that screen, but before, i think

throwing bricks and building bncks throwing bricks and building bricks and all sorts of rubble at other buildings, smashing into hotels and like that is appalling . everyone condemns appalling. everyone condemns that, but they're trying to they are trying to recognise when you ask them that there is concern out there about immigration. the problem is, i think the way the pm has been reacting in order to sound tough about the fighting, he's kind of lumped everybody into the same far right bracket. >> yeah, and is not addressing what people are saying on here. he's not addressing, you know, people's fears . you know, he's people's fears. you know, he's talking about cracking down. we had yvette cooper saying, you know, they will feel you know, they'll feel the full force of they'll feel the full force of the law. except that hasn't always been true because they're worried right now about what might happen next, because they've got this new standing army of specialist police officers , officers who will be officers, officers who will be deployed around the country to ever trouble breaks out next. what does that mean, by the way? >> what that means is, is a kind of gather, a sort of organised group of police officers who can be deployed to different parts of the country as they see get intelligence that there might be some trouble elsewhere, they can be ready for it. this idea of

two tier policing, which is also not accepted by number 10 downing street. that could be because different police forces have different policies on policing. so the idea is you have one standing army as the pm calls it, of officers to go in. he wants to wants to name offenders as soon as they're charged. this all came from a meeting earlier today of cobra, which meets in a cabinet office briefing room in. there were half a dozen or so cabinet ministers keir starmer, angela raynen ministers keir starmer, angela rayner, yvette cooper, the home secretary, rana mahmood, the justice secretary, along with police officers. we think also there was sir mark rowley, who's there was sir mark rowley, who's the scotland yard police chief, although number 10 won't confirm that because as he left the cabinet office, number 70, whitehall, something happened. >> here's what happened. let's have a look . have a look. >> are we going to end two tier policing? so >> that's a mic drop moment. there from sir mark rowley, the

met police chief. now the question asked there by a pool reporter. so that is essentially a microphone established by, by the pool of four broadcasters. and he was asked simply do you is there a is there a two tier policing in this country? and he knocked over the mic. now we're told by scotland yard in a statement issued later that the sir mark rowley was in a hurry to get back to the office to take action on the agreed next steps and the commissioner had a constructive meeting and he wants to take on the issues agreed with partners across government. but the question was is the two tier policing and the top cop in the country knocks over the microphone? that's what happened. they're trying to say that was not a message. >> it was childish at the very least. and yeah , but it's like least. and yeah, but it's like it's a lot of you are being and i am grouping your messages together. a lot of you are saying the same thing, understandably. so. why are we having this reaction now, running away from the two tier policing question when you know

it hasn't been the full force of the law? you know , leeds, the law? you know, leeds, harehills, blm, attacking police horses back in the day that was treated differently to now again, that could be because there's individual forces have their own policies on community tensions and they withdraw or go in battles raised. >> maybe that having this standing army , as the pm calls standing army, as the pm calls it, might have the same policing. so you have if you have, issues caused by predominantly white groups or asian groups, you police it the same way. that appears to be the concern on two tier policing. what won't happen, by the way , what won't happen, by the way, is parliament wont be recalled, at least not this week. dawn i know you're worried about that. not this week. they want to focus on getting the job done. they think they've got enough powers in place . the parliament powers in place. the parliament being recalled as it was back in 2011, after the murder, i think of mark duggan. i think at the time that caused some race riots in london, they did call back parliament then to discuss what was going on, but they can't really legislate. it's more of a of a chance to, to, to let off steam and have the debate in parliament that won't happen just yet. i should say. it's

very expensive recalling parliament. they have to move building works around, get staff in to make enough food for everybody to go and attend parliament for a day. pay the returning airfares and train fares for the mps and staff . fares for the mps and staff. it's very expensive and arguably there's no need to have it right now, but that may change. >> that's what a lot of people are saying on here. again, it's like martin, i love that two tier. starmer looked like a rabbit in the headlights when addressing the nation's weak , addressing the nation's weak, spineless politician and will probably go down as britain's worst ever pm. you've been out for a month so far. >> give me a chance, dover, isn't it? >> do you think. but a lot has happenedin >> do you think. but a lot has happened in that month , hasn't happened in that month, hasn't it? and people are angry with him and what they're saying on here. what you're saying is you haven't heard starmer addressing the underlying anger and frustration in this country. there was a lovely pensioner got in touch. john, who travelled from bradford to liverpool for a rally and to protest. he goes i you didn't riot. i didn't throw

anything by the way. he goes, i'm not racist or far right. i just grew up in an area of bradford that these days like a no go area. but no one wants to admit it. no one's talking about that. why is keir starmer so frightened of tackling this underlying anger and frustration that people are genuinely feeling? >> the hope must be that at some point the government addresses this, this, this, this anger at local level , because not local level, because not everybody rioting or not, not all people concerned are far right. they would say that the far right thugs are those who are rioting on the basis of colour of their skin and their faith. but i think people are seeing communities change and they want to say, well, what's my say in this? and it goes back to the vote on brexit in 2016. dawn, i think, and i think even the levelling up agenda, which is by and large didn't happen or barely touched the sides of many communities that desperately need the money because of the war in ukraine, maybe because of the energy shock, and the covid pandemic. these things got in the way of the government's attempts to lift lives for these people who need the money and need support. >> and a lot of people saying, you know, we are concerned about

immigration, starmer, since he's been in, hasn't really spoken about immigration. and this is the one big thing people are concerned about. you know, many of the people you know are saying, i voted for brexit. nothing was done that was wrong. you know, i voted to get rid of the conservatives over brexit and then net migration hit record numbers. >> exactly. i mean, record didn't work. >> we voted to get rid of the conservatives, you know, in the hope that it was a, you know, a new broom. now that's and i think that's part of the frustration out there. >> that's right. i mean, people did vote for brexit. i think the failure on to immigration talk about it being a problem and then not to do anything about it and to make promises at successive elections. 20 1015, 1719, to cut numbers and then failed to do that is what is so annoying with so many people. and i think reform uk has benefited at the expense of the tory party >> yeah, i'm sorry, i've lost. i've lost your name. but it's like someone said, i'm hoping keir starmer makes like a turkey and is stuffed by christmas. >> i'm afraid so. >> i'm afraid so. >> he'll be there after christmas dawn and go beyond for that, for that viewer and listener. >> he's just trying to get used

to this job. it's a big job. he's just got going. he wanted it. he wanted it. it's a massive test for him early on in his time as prime minister. yeah. >> brilliant. christopher hope, thank you very much for joining us and keep me company in this studio on my own. all right. now we're moving on very quickly. i'm joined now by the former head of the national counter terrorism security office, chris phillips, chris, lovely to see you.thank phillips, chris, lovely to see you. thank you very much for joining me. what do you make of what you've seen over the weekend, the police reaction to it, the government reaction to it? are they saying the things that people out there want to hear? >> well, i mean , you've just >> well, i mean, you've just summed it up very well. >> as far as i can see it, this is very similar to the brexit situation where the most of the population didn't want, didn't want to be closer , closer, want to be closer, closer, unked want to be closer, closer, linked with europe and the politicians just didn't listen. >> they weren't listening no matter who was in power, it didn't really make any difference, >> and then the, the, the people had their vote, and i think, that's very similar with this. >> i think many , many people.

>> i think many, many people. and to label them all far right is crazy. have this opinion that there are problems in our city centres too with many, illegal immigrants and too much immigration. >> but i think from the policing perspective there, you know, the police are right. caught in the middle of this. >> and i know people use the term two tier policing, >> but there are, you know , >> but there are, you know, there are different situations each time. and, as an example, the leads in, incident, i don't think the police were ready for that and couldn't deal with it, >> i think now they've got this, what you call the standing army. there's no such thing as a standing army. it's the same police officers that police your streets, on a daily basis. what happens is those that are public order trained, will be kept on reserve and will be used when the when they're needed. and, no such thing as a standing army. it's all always been there. >> and, and the fact that we've always had mutual aid as well. >> if a force needs officers, then they request it. and that's so that's the situation . he's so that's the situation. he's not changed anything there. that's that was already in in

post. >> so it's basically just words . >> so it's basically just words. basically it sounds like i'm doing something. but in reality that was already there in the first place. >> yeah of course i mean you don't become a public order, trained officer quickly. it does take a few months. >> you know, you've got to get all the kit, you've got to get. >> so those people already exist. it'sjust >> so those people already exist. it's just the fact that they're also your patrol officers. so the people that should be looking after your communities won't be. they will be taken away and taken to the city centres to police these, ridiculous demonstrators. i mean, to call them far right, i think is a bad term because it's people that are cheesed off, and but these the, the people that we're seeing are violent, just violent people got a lot of violent people got a lot of violent people got a lot of violent people in our society that when they choose to kick off, when the police aren't there to stop them or or unable to stop them, they will do so. and, you know, you just feel for the police officers that have to face this nonsense. >> no, absolutely, chris, the other issue i wanted to discuss

with you the amount of false information that is being spread on social media. i mean , you on social media. i mean, you know, there's lots of debate around that today about how how much responsibility the social media platforms should take for this . this. >> well, i think they've been talking about dealing with social media and stopping social media from from publishing things for years. they found it very difficult, almost impossible , i think, to regulate impossible, i think, to regulate against companies that aren't always in the uk. it's a terrible situation. i mean, you know, if you think back to the arab spring, you know, and overthrows of governments, that was all that was all allowed and possible because they had social media and they could organise gangs and groups. and of course, that's what we're seeing here. misused across our streets, >> . >>. >>. >> and what do you think the answer is. chris i mean it's almost an impossible question to answer. i appreciate that. but what is the best thing the government can do now to make sure that we don't see another

repeat this coming weekend. >> well in the short term it is to act tough, because, you know, the protesters that we're seeing will only respond to hard policing and they will only respond to quick justice through the courts. and into prison. that will stop this. i can tell you that. but we are in a, you know, a hot period the summer is the period when we do have riots. you don't have riots in the winter. have you noticed, and, of course, if, if, if they don't do that, if they don't do this, deal with this justice very quickly. sharp sentences that are announced on the television, and on the radio and through the media. then then we will have people willing to riot. i think i think, you know, in the longer term, you do have to have a police force and support your police force to make sure that they're able to deal with these things. but let's let's be quite honest, none of this will be solved until they solve the thorny issue of immigration. and far too many people coming to our country who have no intention of

integrating into society. >> echoing many, many of what our viewers are saying, that's our, chris phillips counter terrorism security office. thank you very much for joining us this afternoon . we will have this afternoon. we will have more on the riots later this houn more on the riots later this hour. and you can get lots more on that story right now on our website. and thanks to you, gb news. com is the fastest growing national news website in the country. so thank you for that. it's got breaking news and all the brilliant analysis you've come to expect from gb news. now i'm going to give you some good news because we can imagine having £30,000 extra in your bank to play with this year. you could escape all of this, couldn't you, well, it could be yours . and it's our latest great yours. and it's our latest great british giveaway. and we're giving it our biggest cash prize of the summer so far. and it's really easy to win. and here's how it could be yours . how it could be yours. >> don't miss out on your chance to win a whopping £30,000 in tax free cash to spend. however, you like. it's extra cash that could

soon. welcome back. i'm dawn neesom on gb news now. later this hour i'll have the latest from day ten of the olympics where wiggins, keely hodgkinson will go for gold in the women's 800m final this evening. fingers crossed for keely. she's an amazing runner. but first we're going to talk about meghan markle. she has opened up about experiencing suicidal thoughts on us television, the first time she has spoken about the issue since that. remember that bombshell oprah winfrey interview almost three years ago? >> is it ago? >> isita ago? >> is it a through line? i think, and when you've been through any level of pain or

trauma , i believe part of our trauma, i believe part of our heaung trauma, i believe part of our healing journey, certainly part of mine, is being able to be really open about it. and i, you know , i haven't really scraped know, i haven't really scraped the surface on my experience , the surface on my experience, but i do think that i would never want someone else to feel that way, and i would never want someone else to be making those sort of plans. and i would never want someone else to not be believed. so if me voicing what i have, overcome will save someone or asks or encourage someone or asks or encourage someone in their life to really, genuinely check in on them and not assume that the appearance is good so everything's okay, then that's worth it . is good so everything's okay, then that's worth it. i'll is good so everything's okay, then that's worth it . i'll take then that's worth it. i'll take a hit for that . a hit for that. >> now. the duke and duchess of sussex have launched a campaign to tackle online safety alongside parents who have tragically lost their children to suicide. i'm joined now by

former royal correspondent michael cole, michael, lovely to see you this afternoon . thank see you this afternoon. thank you very much for joining me. michael, what do you think of this latest initiative from the sussexes? >> good afternoon. dawn, to be or not to be, that is the question. is meghan markle auditioning here for hamlet? there have been female hamlets going back to the great sarah bernhardt 100 years ago. and of course, that's all about a royal personage, a prince of denmark, who contemplates suicide. and then doesn't do it. i'm glad to say so . really. one wonders say so. really. one wonders what's going on, because she has said i didn't want to live. i might do it, i.e. commit suicide , might do it, i.e. commit suicide, but looking at them, they're two young, handsome, good looking people. it's hard to imagine a couple who are more privileged in this world, and they've got two beautiful, healthy children. but fame and fortune. they live on a hilltop in california, in a

beautiful mansion. most of us can't even imagine. i think there's 11, bathrooms. or is there's11, bathrooms. or is that 11 bedrooms? i can't remember, but anyway , remember, but anyway, plutocratic plus. and here we hear this time after time when we've been here before on television, meghan also said that she had a great unwillingness. it sounded like a panic attack before going to a royal british legion festival of remembrance, when she was still a member of the royal family and didn't want to go. and i think the question must be, i mean , the question must be, i mean, did prince harry there? we see him? did he leave the royal family because they left in a hurry? in 2020? you'll remember, in to order protect her. and if so, one wonders why she was feeling so suicidal. because, you know, born into this life. each of us, some rain must fall and we cope with it. and rational people sent, sent sensible people from time to

standing army has been set up, specialist officers ready to be deployed to support communities on the question of prisons. firstly, we're monitoring it on a daily basis. i'm appalled that we've been put in this position by the previous government. that is even a discussion. it's even a question that you have to ask me. but we will make this work and ensure that we've got the places that are needed to bring the perpetrators swiftly to justice. >> it comes as the national police chiefs council says so far, 378 arrests have been made over the past week in relation to the unrest. a wave of people have now appeared in court charged over the ongoing riots overnight in rotherham alone. six arrests were made and one person has been charged after at least 12 police officers were injured during disorder outside a hotel. meanwhile merseyside police have said that one child remains in hospital a week on from the stabbing attack in southport, which sparked the

credibility. after only one month in office, congratulations , month in office, congratulations, everybody, and phil, good afternoon , phil says. phil, it's afternoon, phil says. phil, it's interesting that keir starmer has a number of spare police officers that are now available to support them managing this disorder. in addition, the conservative party is being blamed for the most. on conservative party is being blamed for the most. oh boy. i wonder when starmer will run out of reasons that can blame on others. i wouldn't trust this party with anything other than spending our money. and where's your name gone? just quickly, trevor. hi, trevor. i'm not sure if you're talking about the burping cow story or keir starmer, but you say, what a load of . i'm starmer, but you say, what a load of. i'm leaving starmer, but you say, what a load of . i'm leaving the rest up load of. i'm leaving the rest up to your imagination. but it involves balls, right? okay. thank you very much. now, if you want to get in touch, like everybody has, simply go to gbnews.com/yoursay. i'll read out the best of your messages as much as i can before the end of this show, i i'm right. okay. actually, no. coming up next, before i tell you what we've got

serious. governments are right. okay. i think we have to go straight to the break. unfortunately, we ran out of time. didn't have time to read really, really good message, but we'll see you

welcome back. i'm dawn neesom, and this is gb news. i'm standing in for martin daubney, who's having a well—deserved break now let's get more on the riots across the uk in the last few days, and serious questions are being asked about the government's response to the violence that has so far to led almost 400 arrests. today, sir keir starmer revealed plans for a standing army of specialist police officers to tackle unrest , police officers to tackle unrest, as well as moves to, in his words, ramp up the criminal justice process to carry out swift prosecutions. we're joined now by former labour minister bill rammell. now by former labour minister bill rammell . bill, thank you bill rammell. bill, thank you very much for joining bill rammell. bill, thank you very much forjoining us. bill, i'm going to cut straight to the chase here. so many of our

viewers are really, really angry about what they've heard from keir starmer with regard to these riots. they still do not feel that labour are listening to their concerns and are fed up with being branded as far right. >> well, the reality, dawn, is what we've seen in the last week and not legitimate protests. >> it has been a series of acts of violent thuggery by extreme right wing agitators based on misinformation and lies and sowing division and hatred. and if you want to talk about responsibility, listen to what saira khan, rishi sunak former social cohesion, coordinator, said this morning when she said she accused the previous conservative governments of allowing extremists to operate with impunity. she said previous governments had astonishingly failed to address the trends in extremism and had taken

counterproductive actions such as scrapping, the counter—terrorism strategy in 2021. what's been happening is unacceptable. now, in the face of that, i think we've seen a very strong response from keir starmer and the government putting in place a series of police and judicial mechanisms with the full force of the law. and what will happen is that over time, as more and more people are arrested and, you know, as we speak, doors are being knocked on, people are being knocked on, people are being arrested, and that will begin to have a deterrent effect. and it's got to happen . effect. and it's got to happen. >> one of the other things people are mentioning on here, bill, is that, you know, yvette cooper has said, you know, yeah, there's the thugs . and let's be there's the thugs. and let's be honest, i mean, if you are vandalising and burning buildings and torching buses and police cars, that is thug behaviour. no one's excusing that or condoning that. yvette cooper said, you know, these people will feel the full force of the law, but will they? we

didn't see, say in leeds, harehills for example, the full force of the law there. the police almost seem to be running away in that one. and that was on labour's watch. >> you know, there's false equivalence going on here, you know, again, i'll quote someone else from the conservative party priti patel, the tory leadership challenger, who said this morning in response to the accusations from nigel farage about two tier policing. she said the comments are simply not relevant nor correct. the police operate without fear or favour, but the scale of this violence and thuggery that we have seen over the last week is way, way in excess of anything we've seen in excess of anything we've seen in protests in this country previously. we're seeing criminals who are throwing bncks criminals who are throwing bricks at police officers. we're seeing mosques being attacked. we are seeing effective petrol bombs being thrown into a hotel

where the residents and the staff are resigning. this is of a completely different scale and order and if anybody doesn't recognise that we need to tackle this with the full force of the law, then i think they're running major risks. >> so do you actually not accept at all that there is two tier policing going on? >> no , there's not two tier >> no, there's not two tier policing. you know, the scale, the magnitude, the violence involved in these riots in the last seven days is a way above and beyond anything we previously witnessed in this country, and it has to be stamped out, you know , we've got stamped out, you know, we've got football hooligans, identified football hooligans, identified football hooligans, identified football hooligans who were involved in these protests. these are the kind of people who go out wanting violence, wanting conflict on a regular basis. it is mob rule. it's completely unacceptable. and if we allowed it to continue, then there are

enormous risks to the whole fabnc enormous risks to the whole fabric of our society. it will not be allowed to continue because we're going to stamp down hard on this. and people in their hundreds are going to be arrested and punished . arrested and punished. >> and bill, you can you can promise our viewers here and now that this will apply to anybody indulging in violent behaviour. we have we have seen groups of muslim men on the streets looking very threatening, wearing hoodies and balaclavas as well. the same rules will 6my as well. the same rules will apply to anyone behaving in a thuggish or threatening behaviour . behaviour. >> absolutely. equivalents across the board, you know, police officers, carry out their responsibilities with rigour and seriousness and they're not interested in who you are, where you're coming from, the colour of your skin, or or your political agenda. they will deal with people equally. and, you know, you refer to, some muslims

who are covered in balaclavas across the board. i think that's one of the most dangerous aspects of this, of people, you know, propagating violence and doing it, trying to hide their faces in balaclavas. it's unacceptable. and it has to be tackled . tackled. >> okay. and you are confident that keir starmer is the man to do that ? do that? >> absolutely, you know , he's >> absolutely, you know, he's drawing on his own experience when he was director of public prosecution prosecutions in 2011, when we faced previous riots and what he learned from that experience is you need quick arrests and quick judicial action, and that's what we will get out . now, we've already had get out. now, we've already had over 400 people who've been arrested as the numbers ramp ramp up, as people hear the stories of the police knocking on their doors at all hours of the day to arrest them, these violent thugs will begin to run for the hills, i believe. so i think that's absolutely what

needs to happen . needs to happen. >> sorry, bill. we just run out of time, just very, very quickly. just one final question. so just reassure our viewers that if they are concerned about migration and articulate those fears that is, that doesn't make them far right. as far as labour are concerned. >> no, i've got concerns about migration because the last government, let it get out of control. but there's all the difference in the world between expressing concerns about migration and violence and thuggery on the streets of britain. >> okay. bill rammell, labour, former labour minister, thank you very much for joining us this afternoon , sorry. i thought this afternoon, sorry. i thought it was so important to talk to a labour representative to find out what he made of what keir has said . now, team gb has been has said. now, team gb has been in the medals again today on day ten of the olympics, and we've got a great chance of winning our first athletics gold at this year's games. in just a few hours time. i'm dawn neesom. this is gb news, britain's news channel this is gb news, britain's news channel, and we're going to talk olympics. so you don't want to go too far.

hello. welcome back. evidently we're doing rather well in the olympics. so let's go straight to sports journalist chris skudder to find out how we've done today and what we're going to do tonight. more excitingly, hello , chris. come on, bring us hello, chris. come on, bring us up to date on how team gb is doing. >> hi, don. yeah, doing pretty well. >> up to 40 medals now considering the aim is sort of between 50 and 70 they're going to exceed 50. certainly. i think , to exceed 50. certainly. i think, today, bronze two. bronze and silver. the bronze, the first one came in the triathlon. it's been a real success story for britain. remember that amazing finish by alex yee in the men's? well, he got a bronze in the team event. in fact, they thought they got the silver, beth potter going over the line. it was it was literally as close as the men's100m last night. a sprint finish in in a long duration event like that was extraordinary as beth potter. so they got a team, bronze . it was they got a team, bronze. it was very nearly a silver but

brilliant effort again. and triathlon really going from strength to strength and then to in the on the boats that you see how knackered were after that race. but, joe clark and kimberly woods in the, in the boat, the kayak cross again . boat, the kayak cross again. canoeing has been really brilliant as well. so, joe clark got a silver in that it's a bit like the wacky races going through whitewater. completely mad looking race. kimberly woods got a bronze as well, >> and, tonight , keely >> and, tonight, keely hodgkinson, as it says there, it's going for. >> listen, we think in the women's the first track gold looking very likely. there she is. keely who won silver in tokyo when she was very young, still a teenager, got a silver in the worlds last year. and i think that union flag is going to be flying tonight because i think perceived wisdom is that she's going to have to fall over not to win the gold in the 800 tonight. it's about, i think, about 8:45 tonight. our time roughly, and, that could be the start of a few in track and field, and the cycling as well. i should mention, there's been a

world record for the british women's team sprint, a sprint team about an hour and a half ago, their final is about seven tonight, so that could be gold before , keely. so all being before, keely. so all being well, could be overtaking france in the medals table tonight with a couple of gold medals. fingers crossed for that brilliant . crossed for that brilliant. >> thank you very much. chris skudder bring us up to date on team gb's successes. and, good luck to keely tonight. thank you very much, chris. now. well sadly, we've run out of time, it's all from me tonight. now dewbs& co is up next with a cracking show. so you don't want to go anywhere. but before jubes, the all important weather. so let's find out what's happening with alex burkill. see you tomorrow . burkill. see you tomorrow. >> looks like things are heating up. >> boxt boilers sponsors of weather on . gb. news

weather on. gb. news >> hello again. i'm here from the met office with your gb news. weather forecast. there will be some sunny spells. also a few showers around as we go into tomorrow , but most of us into tomorrow, but most of us will see a spell of more persistent rain for a time due to a front that is gradually making its way south eastwards across the uk. that has already brought some rain to parts of scotland and northern ireland, and will continue to bring some heavy rain, particularly to the borders. dumfries, galloway area as we go through this evening could cause some impacts here. also, some heavy rain across parts of northwest england and into wales as well. that front then pushing south eastwards so reaching the midlands and south west england as we go overnight ahead of the front in the south—east. still quite warm despite some clear skies. something a little bit fresher behind the front towards the northwest. now, as we go through tomorrow morning, do be aware there could be some heavy bursts of rain along this front, particularly around east midlands . could be some thunder midlands. could be some thunder in association with this as well. also a bit of a wet start across central southern england, but ahead of the front and behind it something a bit brighter. so across parts of

wales, northern england, scotland and northern ireland, it is generally going to be a fine start to the day tomorrow. that being said, there will be a few showers around, particularly out towards the hebrides, and some of these could be a little bit on the heavy side. those showers are going to become more widespread as we go through tomorrow, so across many parts of scotland and northern ireland we are going to see a fair few showers developing as we go through the day. meanwhile, that front continues its progress eastwards across east anglia and parts of kent, but it's going to be mostly light by the time it reaches these eastern parts . reaches these eastern parts. again, temperatures are similar to today really, so mid 20s towards the south—east, feeling warm in any sunshine, a bit fresher than this towards the northwest. more showers as we go through tomorrow evening across scotland and northern ireland. in particular. a few showers, perhaps for parts of western england and wales. otherwise a largely dry night to come. a cooler, showery theme for many. on wednesday, the heavier showers towards the northwest, then some rain pushing through at times later this week that

warm feeling inside from boxt boilers .

across the nation this weekend. i want to look at it then, between now and 7:00. i want to look at keir starmer's response, the policing response. i want to look at the role of the media, social media. and you know what? we need some goodness. so let's have a look at how people have come together after all of this. as well. also tonight there is another vigil happening in southport. tonight there is another vigil happening in southport . right happening in southport. right now, of course, so many of the unrest has been sparked by the horrendous murdering of the

three little girls. that's
