arts fest of its kind in europe , arts fest of its kind in europe, i'll be talking to acts, comedians and i'm also going to be to talking politicians about why the scottish national party is losing its vise like grip on scotland. it's been in power for nearly 15 years and why is reform doing so well north of the border? but first we're going to get the headlines with tatiana sanchez . tatiana sanchez. >> good morning. the top stories from the gb newsroom. police have launched dawn raids in london this morning to round up suspected rioters as officers hunt down violent protesters . hunt down violent protesters. thousands of counter—protesters rallied in cities and towns across england yesterday after a week of disorder. more than 1000 police officers were deployed in the city as the met police made 15 arrests across the city of london. in croydon, ten people were arrested for offences including assault on an emergency worker and in waltham forest they arrested two people for possession of an offensive weapon. however, gatherings that took place in north london, bristol and newcastle were

largely peaceful , with largely peaceful, with counter—protesters chanting refugees are welcome here. police had been braced for further violence , with thousands further violence, with thousands of officers deployed more than 100 events anticipated. metropolitan police chief sir mark rowley has praised police forces across the country for how they dealt with the unrest last night there was a massive policing operation . policing operation. >> i'm really pleased with how it went and we put thousands of officers on the street and i think the show of force from the police and frankly, the show of show of unity from communities together and defeated the challenges that we've seen. and it went off very peacefully last night, a couple of locations where some local criminals turn out and try and create a bit of anti—social behaviour. and we arrested a few of them, but it was a very successful night and the fears of sort of extreme right disorder and were abated. so a successful operation thanks to communities and police stallman's been recalled following rioting in belfast, which police say involves a parliamentary element.

>> members of the legislative assembly will meet today to discuss a motion condemning criminal damage and targeting of businesses in recent days, six people have been arrested for race related hate crimes and disorder across belfast. the police service of northern ireland came under sustained attack from petrol bombs, masonry and bricks in the city on monday night. masonry and bricks in the city on monday night . and patients in on monday night. and patients in england with an inherited blood disorder are to become the first in europe to benefit from a gene therapy costing well over £1 million a shot. the treatment, called cas jvt, uses molecular scissors to disable a faulty gene that causes the debilitating condition beta thalassaemia. currently, people severely affected by the disease need blood transfusions every few weeks because their own red blood cells are unable to carry enough oxygen around the body. but in trials , 90% of people but in trials, 90% of people were effectively cured by a single treatment . and those are single treatment. and those are

the latest gb news headlines. for now, i'm tatiana sanchez. more in half an hour for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code, or go to gbnews.com forward slash alerts . slash alerts. >> thanks, tatiana, and good morning to you at home. welcome. this is britain's newsroom live across the united kingdom on gb news with me ben leo in for andrew pierce who as you just saw is in edinburgh. and of course bev turner. >> very good morning. so what an interesting 24 hours thousands of pro—migrant protesters took to the streets across the country last night in a show of solidarity against what was called, of course , during the called, of course, during the week, far right protesters. >> yes, police forces were braced for more than 100 demonstrations across the country , including in the likes country, including in the likes of lgbt capital brighton, walthamstow in london, which is a very low white population.

interesting sites for the far right and many businesses, in response, closed early over fears of violence. >> now we have a lot to get through this morning because i don't know about you, but my suspicion radar is going off the charts here. there is unanimous agreement on the front pages of all the papers this morning, regardless of their normal political leanings, leanings. daily mail, daily express, the mirror, the guardian that last night was about anti—hate . night was about anti—hate. anti—hate marchers, facing down the thugs. i mean, even the daily mail's drunk. the sort of woke kool—aid this morning. and yes, we are delighted, of course, that there was no violence. but i, for one, didn't think there was ever going to be any violence last night. so what exactly is going on? this is what i tweeted. earlier in the evening yesterday. i basically said, i don't know about you , said, i don't know about you, but i don't feel that there's going to be a huge amount of uprising this evening. i said, i think that some of the individuals who were the knuckleheads who were going to be bored by now, and i don't

discriminate. there were knuckleheads on both sides, by the way. some of them are scared of going to prison. yes. some of them have had a telling off from their mothers or their community leaders. and i might be wrong, i said. but i think there's a lot of fear mongering in the air. and i think some of those youngsters, particularly who were wrongly characterised as somehow being political , far somehow being political, far right, probably ripped their stone island jeans and have gone on to carry on waxing their eyebrows . eyebrows. >> so the big question is where did this report, this conjecture of 100 riots that are going to be smashing britain ? where did be smashing britain? where did it come from? well, it came from an anonymous telegram group. a screenshot was doing the rounds onune screenshot was doing the rounds online yesterday, in the day before saying that certain sites across britain, as i mentioned, brighton and lgbt capital of europe at least, which has no far right contingent . far right contingent. walthamstow 34% white. all these cities, many of which don't have far right contingents that were going to be targeted by the admission of nick lowles, the chief exec of hope not hate. this morning it was a hoax. it

was a hoax, he said. yes, the list was a hoax. but just look at the front pages of today's papers and anti—racist message is being transmitted to millions of homes. this morning. interesting. so the anti the pro—migrant agenda is being pushed regardless of the facts that reports of 100 riots were a hoax. but i want to know who organised that fake telegram message and if you don't know what telegram is, because it's not the kind of social media that we talk about regularly. >> it's like twitter, but it's a little bit more niche. it doesn't have quite as many users, but it's known for amassing groups of little subcultures of people who want to talk to each other. now, of course, the response to this has been interesting. we've had labour clearly claiming victory . labour clearly claiming victory. anna soubry was tweeting this morning saying it's relief. and of course you look at the front page of the papers and you would say that it is, she said. is it just me? but suddenly it feels like we've got our country back. swift, effective action from government and police working in mutual respect, racism and thuggery called out in peaceful protests that united

communities. it's like the grown ups are back in the room now . ups are back in the room now. listen, genuine grievances about too much migration too quickly, which mean you can't see your gp or get house. those still exist and we still have to have that conversation. the tiny number. ben, i don't know about you, but their tiny number of true. what would be defined as far right racists is minuscule in this country, and most people are out because they're angry, because they've got no money and they feel hopeless . feel hopeless. >> it's interesting. i was at home this week. i had a few days off. i had a busy last week and i was watching all this unfold. the riots keir starmer's press conferences. i was watching it unfold as a viewer at home and at the start of it all, keir starmer looked like a rabbit or a deer in headlights, wide eyed, panicky at his press conferences, sir mark rowley, the met commissioner, again panicked, rattled, grabbing the microphone out of a journalist's hand when asked about two tier policing. and then suddenly this 100 riots, information does the rounds and suddenly socialist worker stand up to racism crowds

all gather with their pre—made placards and everything's fine again. labour say they've got control of the situation, but as you said, that sentiment still stands. >> and what we talked about onune >> and what we talked about online disinformation, online misinformation, we've got a lot to get through between now and midday. let's go to gb news, south—east of england. reporter ray addison, who joins us now in croydon. good morning ray. so there was a huge amount of build up yesterday all over the media. ihave up yesterday all over the media. i have to say, i saw a lot of reporters from sky news looking, frankly, slightly disappointed that there wasn't action in these towns. i was one of the people sat at home going, it was never going to kick off. it was a lot of fuss about nothing. but there have been some arrests down there, haven't there? >> yeah, i mean, i've taken a look at some of the arrest reports from around the country, and i think although i could stand corrected, that this is where the most arrests took place, there was ten arrests here in croydon last night, 15 in the whole of london and across the country. i've just seen a smattering of 1 or 2 arrests at different events, police saying around 50 young

people turned up here to north end. it's the main high street, it's the shopping centre here in this part of croydon. but they were saying it's not they weren't far right demonstrators. they weren't counter—protesters ehhen they weren't counter—protesters either. they were just simply people intent on anti—social behaviour. they were throwing bottles at police, setting off fireworks as well. i spoke to residents and asked them what they saw pop ups here and there, but obviously those are people trying to stir stuff up. >> but overall, the protesters who are going against the violence as well, it was crazy and scary. >> i came out from the house just for like five minutes, walk to around here, and i turned around because i don't know. and i kept looking out the window to see if it comes any closer. it's, it's terrifying, to be honest. i think it's a complete catastrophe. >> what's going in store? i just hope that the people can find some kind of common sense in it. it's fine . it's fine. >> so it's interesting. mayor of

london sadiq khan has issued a statement this morning saying that, he praising the police and praising peaceful protesters, and he said, we've seen appalling violence and disorder in towns and cities across the country in recent days, but there was no repeat in our capital overnight. i would hasten to suggest that police officers here met police officers here met police officers who were having bottles thrown at them and fireworks set off in their direction may disagree with that, although i haven't seen the full statement, but it does seem to ignore what happened here in croydon overnight. so violence here. this was one of the most violent scenes in the capital, or possibly the only majorly violent scene in the capital. but for now, it's all is peaceful. >> okay. thank you ray. thank you so much. what have we talked about this week? facial recognition. there's been a very strong ofcom statement warning social media companies to clamp down on misinformation, online censorship. there's a picture emerging here, isn't there? >> authoritarianism ? and also

>> authoritarianism? and also the papers this morning, the way left and right, the way they all augned left and right, the way they all aligned with the same message and the same pictures from the socialist worker stand up to racism. you know, it reminded me of covid, the propaganda during covid. and we're going to touch on a story in the telegraph today where a covid disinformation unit, a government unit, has now been rebranded to tackle so—called far right conjecture that let's go to national security expert anthony glees . anthony glees. >> morning, antony. good morning . >> morning, antony. good morning. right. we can see a picture emerging here as ben just said, about where this all goes next. now you're a national security expert, so we know now that this telegram list was a hoax. of these 100 protests, how easy is it for the government to find out who started that rumour ? out who started that rumour? >> well , out who started that rumour? >> well, you're kind enough to invite me onto gb news. >> and i always accept your kind invitation whenever i can. but youiane invitation whenever i can. but you invite me to speak to you

using my professional experience, and i'm somebody who's been, hard on islamism, hard on extremism, hard on right wing extremism for the whole of my career. and i'm not going to change my colours now. i am one of those people who said. i said it on tv, last night, last night was a make or break night for sir keir starmer. and for sir trevor rowley for and our system in this country. trevor rowley for and our system in this country . and the truth in this country. and the truth is that it did not break us. it may have made us. that doesn't mean the underlying issues that led some people to engage in rioting have gone away. there does need to be a serious conversation about, and i'm, for one, very happy to have that conversation at the right time, remember, we have a trial. we have a trial that must not be

prejudiced. it's okay. when something happens straight away and people like me are asked to comment and nobody really knows, and we try and provide some context once there's been an arrest. and a charge brought, then we all of us have to shut up because otherwise we prejudice the trial . and it prejudice the trial. and it means that innocent people could go, guilty people could go free. so we have to be very, very careful about what we say. there is a conversation to be had about immigration to the united kingdom, but equally, you know, we have to see what we see. and understand what we see and what we saw in the rioting included people wearing swastikas, people who hurled flares at a statue of sir winston anthony. >> they've they've rightly they've rightly been they've rightly been banged up the front page of the sun today nailed and jailed three year terms to some of those lads. >> i'm with the sun on this. >> i'm with the sun on this. >> i'm with the sun on this. >> i need to ask you, though,

about the situation last night with the country was bracing itself for 100 riots across the country. it was a hoax telegram message. even people from hope not hate on the left of the argument are saying so. so does the government. bearing in mind the government. bearing in mind the police have spent probably millions of pounds getting choppers up across cities, extra officers on the ground. do we need to find out where this hoax came from ? came from? >> look, ben, you say it's a hoax. i don't know , we have hoax. i don't know, we have probably the best security and intelligence community in the world. in this country, the government is not going to say these things if they're not true. if you believe that you believe in elon musk, you believe in elon musk, you believe in, you know, the moon's made of blue cheese. so we have to accept that these messages went out. the logical explanation for why last night did not see the same sort of appalling rioting that we've seen in this country. and remember, people like me are the centre right in this country. we believe in law and order. we don't believe in disorder and rioting, so we want the smack of

firm government. and when we see the smack of firm government, we're the last people who are going to say, oh, we don't want it. we don't want the cops in charge, we don't want cctv. i do want it, whether it's fly—tipping or rioting, whatever. if you've done wrong, i want you, anthony. >> i want firm government, but i don't want it as an excuse to bnngin don't want it as an excuse to bring in stuff like facial recognition, stamping out online talk and censorship, bringing down social media networks. i don't want any of that. it just reminds me of covid again, ben, we just disagree in my experience, the sort of country that we are today means that law and order must be maintained. >> you cannot assault a cop and get away with it. you cannot blow up a police van. you cannot set fire to a holiday inn shutting the escape. the fire escape door? yeah. >> we need to move on. >> we need to move on. >> this is not. this is not. this is not funny. so what?

people. and you've allowed me to say it on your programme before. what people are the centre right should be doing is sticking up for law and order. standing up with. >> really interesting to hear that anthony. thank you so much. national security expert anthony glees. and i find it absolutely fascinating that those people who consider themselves to be old fashioned, traditional conservatives are calling for a digital prison because that's what this is, right? we're going to be going over to edinburgh soon because andrew pierce is there for a fringe festival show with britain's newsroom on

gb news. >> andrew pierce, with you here in edinburgh for the festival, is the biggest arts fest of its kind in europe, but it's the time of great political upheaval. we had exam results published yesterday in scotland, another decline the nhs in crisis, the scottish national party is in crisis and the tory party is in crisis and the tory party in crisis. here too, having their own leadership

contest with six candidates. i'm joined now by folk, the falkirk tory councillor, james, tell me your surname. bundy. bundy with a very nice touch. i'm told it's an english tartan tie. >> lindsay tartan. so english origins. >> very good. is the reason the scottish party is down to five mps out of 57 north of the border, because of the continuing crisis in the english tory party in england. >> well, i think that was certainly a factor having that tie to us going up to the election. but it was also what were we offering the people of scotland, whilst we retained five mps, our vote share halved in scotland and in the central belt. we've got defeated in about 16 out of 18 seats to reform party uk wide. we lost 26 deposits. 16 of those were in scotland, so this was not a good election for the scottish conservatives of what was concentrated in 5 or 6 areas of scotland. we won five seats so it looks good on paper, but look below the surface and that was not a good election. >> why, if the tory party lost their way, councillor bundy in

scotland, what's gone wrong ? scotland, what's gone wrong? >> well, our offering for the past ten years has been no to indyref2 and that was popular when the snp looked like they were going to push for a second independence referendum. they are on decline and voters in scotland know that. so people are asking themselves why should we vote for the party? who's going to oppose the snp when the snp's already on decline? >> we've got we're in edinburgh for this amazing festival, an extraordinary festival and yet the city is gripped by a bin strike. what are they thinking of? this is another indictment of? this is another indictment of the local labour council. and yet again, the tories aren't making anything out of it. >> well , we want making anything out of it. >> well, we want edinburgh looking at its best for the festival because it is, as you said earlier, the largest international festival in europe, and it is a great opportunity for scotland to showcase herself on the world stage. it's not often you can go to one building and get a book launch about the stuart monarchy in the next door, have the upcoming comedy and it's people from across the uk and further coming together to celebrate the best of scotland, having bin strikes that make edinburgh look ugly is not what we want.

edinburgh is a beautiful city andifs edinburgh is a beautiful city and it's time for people to come together and get these bin strikes sorted so edinburgh can look at its rightful . look at its rightful. >> this is councillorjames >> this is councillor james bundy, one of the youngest tory councillors in scotland. i'm here for the edinburgh festival. we're going to go to the weather shortly and i have great news for you. it is not going to rain in scotland today. i think it's because it shines on the righteousness i'm andrew pierce with you in edinburgh. let's go to the weather. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar, sponsors of weather on gb news >> hello and welcome to your gb news. weather forecast for this morning and it's a damp and humid start to your thursday. we've got some heavy rain on the cards through the day today, but brighter signs as we go into friday. taking a look at the picture out there. this morning. quite a grey damp start across wales southwest england and that rain spreads its way in across northern ireland and northern

counties of england as well as we go into the afternoon, some of that rain will turn quite heavy across these northern counties of england, northern ireland, southern scotland. we could get the odd rumble of thunder largely dry towards the southeast, though some sunny breaks, but you can see how humid it is across the map. temperatures of 21 to 24 degrees feeling really quite uncomfortable out there with all that going on, let's take a closer look then, as we zoom across into scotland, through thursday evening. still staying dry across the northern isles as we come down into mainland scotland. quite a lot of rain for the evening rush hour, so do take care if you're heading out and about moving southwards into northern england. some heavy pulses here, denoted by the yellows and reds on the chart there a lot of low cloud for wales. outbreaks of rain and drizzle similarly for the southwest of england as well. somewhat drier further south and east, though those temperatures staying on the warm side and it stays warm and humid as we go through thursday night. further bits and pieces of rain to come mainly out towards our western hills and coasts , but still some hills and coasts, but still some showers working their way eastwards. a lot of low cloud

out there as well. some clear skies towards the end of the night. further north. temperatures somewhat fresher here but an uncomfortable night further south. 18 or 19 degrees really will feel uncomfortable first thing on friday. now we get rid of that rain fairly early on across the southeast. some cloud to follow on behind, but actually for england and wales, a much brighter day to come on friday. much less humid, much more in the way of sunshine . much more in the way of sunshine. feeling quite pleasant and some sunny spells too. further north, but a scattering of showers for scotland, northern ireland and the far north of england. top temperature 25 degrees for the south—east. warmer still as we head towards the weekend. by by that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb

probably better at the job. have you changed career later on in life? let us know . life? let us know. >> and i'm andrew pierce here in edinburgh, the capital of scotland, hosting the europe's biggest arts festival. i'll be talking to a number of politicians, and i'm also going to be talking to my old sparring partner, kevin maguire, from the daily mirror. can labour claim any credit for the fact there were no riots in england last night? there have been no riots in scotland at all. all that coming up after the news headlines. of course, with tatiana sanchez . tatiana sanchez. >> andrew thank you. the top stories from the gb newsroom. police have launched dawn raids in london this morning to round up suspected rioters as officers hunt down violent protesters. thousands of counter—protesters rallied in cities and towns

across england after a week of disorder. more than 1000 police officers were deployed in london as the met police made 15 arrests in croydon, ten people were arrested and in waltham forest , two people were arrested forest, two people were arrested for possession of an offensive weapon. however, gatherings that took place in north london and bristol and newcastle were largely peaceful, with counter—protesters chanting refugees are welcome here. police had been braced for further violence, with thousands of officers deployed and more than 100 events anticipated . than 100 events anticipated. metropolitan police chief sir mark rowley has praised police forces across the country for how they dealt with the unrest. >> it was a massive policing operation. i'm really pleased with how it went and we put thousands of officers on the street and i think the show of force from the police and frankly, the show of show of unity from communities together and defeated the challenges that we've seen . and it went off very we've seen. and it went off very peacefully last night, a couple of locations , we had some local of locations, we had some local criminals turn out and try and

create a bit of anti—social behaviour and we arrested a few of them, but it was a very successful night and the fears of sort of extreme right disorder and were abated. so a successful operation thanks to communities and police , policing communities and police, policing minister dame diana johnson told gb news she is optimistic following police responses last night. >> what we saw last night were the vast majority, the law abiding people of this country, expressing a view that we live in a tolerant britain. we are law abiding people. we do not like to see this disorder, this violence, this criminality on our streets. so i think it's that i think the public revulsion at what happened, the police being on our streets, providing that security and safety and then the swift justice. i think it's a combination of things that makes me cautiously optimistic about how this is now being dealt with. >> meanwhile, it's understood the king has asked for daily updates on protests planned around the uk following the

southport stabbings. king charles is said to be engaging privately in the issues. the unrest has generated. the king has a record of involvement in issues around the community, cohesion and interfaith dialogue . cohesion and interfaith dialogue. meanwhile, reports of antisemitic incidents in the uk in the first half of this year have reached another record high, according to figures from a jewish security charity. the community security trust says it registered almost 2000 cases in the first half of the year, compared to 964 over the same penod compared to 964 over the same period last year. the charity, which provides protection for british jews against antisemitic attacks, says it's the highest total ever reported to cst in the first six months of any year. northern ireland's first minister michelle o'neill, says it's important for political leaders to speak with one voice, following scenes of violent disorder on the streets of belfast, stormont has been recalled following rioting in belfast, which police say

involves a parliamentary element. members of the legislative assembly will meet this morning to discuss a motion condemning criminal damage and targeting of businesses. in recent days, six people have been arrested for race related hate crimes and disorder across belfast. the police service of northern ireland came under sustained attack from petrol bombs and bricks in the city on monday night. there have been several arrests in recent days, including a boy as young as 14 years old linked to allegations of race related hate crimes, disorder and rioting . in other disorder and rioting. in other news, patients in england with an inherited blood disorder are to become the first in europe to benefit from a gene therapy costing well over £1 million a shot. the treatment, called castelvi, uses molecular scissors to disable a faulty gene that causes the debilitating condition beta thalassaemia. currently, people severely affected by the disease need blood transfusions every few weeks because their own red blood cells are unable to carry enough oxygen around the body.

scotland as well at the edinburgh fringe. so much to get through this morning. fascinating isn't it. of these this array of front pages across the media all aligned from left to right the guardian, the daily mail even toeing the line. interesting. the sun's front page interesting. the sun's front page actually , if we can get it page actually, if we can get it up nailed and jailed, naming and shaming some of the thugs who were involved in rioting this week. one got a three yearjail week. one got a three year jail term for punching a cop during violence in southport. excellent swift justice within a day or two. banged up. the question begs then why are those people caught on cctv at manchester airport some weeks ago? do you remember that incident? smashing police officers in the face, breaking a young officer's nose into pieces? why are they still on bail? doing press conferences, playing the victim, saying that they're going to sue the hell out of greater manchester police? if we can deal with people this quickly. white working class, far right thugs in jail for three years, within days , why can't that be within days, why can't that be sorted out? >> we are delighted. there were

no riots last night just to be clear, i didn't think there was ever going to be any riots last night, but i think the whole thing was completely blown out of all proportion. we don't have that many people in this country who feel sufficiently racist that they want to go out and set migrant hotels alight, and that is a good thing. let's be honest. a tiny minority of idiots , most of them got idiots, most of them got arrested. police did a good job. i feel sorry for the police, but let's not all pretend that a few thousand pink haired people who make their own muesli standing on the streets of brighton means that this issue is all sorted. you know who's been interesting this morning? it's a very wise man, jeremy clarkson. well, jeremy clarkson has said i'm surrounded by farmers and plasterers and brickies and butchers and all i hear all day long is that there is too much immigration, he said. but if they say this out loud or if they say this out loud or if they go on a march, they are told by the london elites that they are far right extremists or racist thugs. for the most part, he says, they're not. they're just people who know that they have to shut up. when the last post is played, and that a cheese rolling down a hill is funny. and he said, the fact is

that 4 million people voted for reform. and he said, and more than that voted for brexit. and keir starmer is upsetting them. he doesn't use that phrase. he says he's annoying them by labelling them as modern day hitlers. and he says i therefore suggest that both he and his friends at the bbc calm down the rhetoric. or we could be heading for some serious trouble. and he's absolutely right . he's absolutely right. >> absolutely. i just want to bnng >> absolutely. i just want to bring you one quick tweet as well from nick lowles from hope not. hate the far left campaign group who, amongst other things , group who, amongst other things, spread misinformation during the past week about the riots, saying that a muslim person had been the victim of an acid attack. a complete lie, of course, but he also admitted this morning, very interestingly saying that the list of 100 sites across britain that were going to be targeted by far right rioters last night was a hoax. he's admitted that. he said it doesn't matter because it still allowed us to dominate the front pages with our pro migration agenda. but the question begs again, where did this hoax come from? did the police, who have spent millions of pounds on extra policing last

night on helicopters, have they looked into where this hoax came from? who started it? because you would have thought if they were going to embark on such an expensive and costly operation to combat the far right across 100 sites across britain, they would have made damn sure that it was actually happening in northern ireland. >> stormont is recalled today to discuss the recent violence. we got a lot to talk about, haven't we? this morning? gb news reporter dougie beattie. is there from stormont. what's what's going on there? this morning? dougie >> well, good morning bev, basically, the chief constable has met with the executive this morning. and the castle just down below . they are basically down below. they are basically the cabinet of northern ireland. he's briefed them on the security situation. last night we had minor problems in northern ireland. there was about five arrests and the chief constable has asked for help from other police forces. now, at about 12 noon today , the at about 12 noon today, the assembly will sit and they will discuss what he has said. but i mean, really what they're talking about is condemning the

violence. everybody does that. they're talking about, a racial equality bill. but what they're not talking about is how they are going to address the problems that is breaking out in these working class areas. and there's only one reason that it is happening is the amount of immigration that is undocumented immigration, mostly young men that are being put into these areas, not just in northern ireland, but right across ireland, but right across ireland and indeed parts of the uk. and no politician seems to want to address this. so i will be watching eagerly today to see is there anything to actually move these young men out of those areas and into other areas of northern ireland? >> okay. thank you. dougie, we might be to talking you a little bit later. right. let's cross to andrew pierce in edinburgh. it's a very sort of i would say international show, but i don't mean that. i mean a very regional show. we got dougie there in northern ireland. andrew pierce is in edinburgh. why andrew and who have you found. oh no, i think i recognise that face. hahaha.

>> i think you probably needs no introduction. my old sparring partner here, kevin maguire from the daily mirror. this is the week of the month of the edinburgh festival, the biggest arts festival of its kind in europe, and there are all sorts of extraordinary people here. tomorrow we're going to be talking to alex salmond, who was, of course, the leader of the snp now leads a breakaway party because independence in scotland is way back now on the political agenda. but i'm joined now by kevin maguire, kevin maguire , big supporter of the maguire, big supporter of the labour party. you've been quiet. completely on the right are labour really right to be shouting victory is ours after there were no disturbances? i'd say it's a pyrrhic victory. >> i'm not sure they are shouting victory hurrahs. they're saying, look, it's effective policing now and also community cohesion. people condemning the violence, the, the far right thugs. and then we saw last night a lot of people going out on the streets. it would be too early to claim a victory. but often you get these spasms. it takes policing a while to catch up. labour would be getting the blame if they hadnt be getting the blame if they hadn't ended these riots, but

i'm not sure there's anything in truth that keir starmer yvette cooper the home secretary, have done that the conservatives wouldn't have done so. but, you know, but there is a poison in the far right of britain. the security services have been arguing and warning for years now that you face two threats in the uk from terrorism. one is islamists islamofascists and the other is the home—grown british far right. >> yeah, but of course, of course the far right were a big factor in those riots and disturbances. but keir starmer and ben yvette cooper can't just talk about that. kevin, you know that part of the issue , that part of the issue, something that was fanning the flames of unrest in some of our towns and cities, is concern about the impact of rapid and mass immigration in towns and communities, which no longer feel the way they used to. that's a problem that keir starmer has to address. >> but we saw both in southport, where the brutal, horrific murder of those three young girls had, you know, a dance

class was hijacked by the far right with misinformation, with lies. you also saw there people turning out to rebuild the wall in front of the mosque. so communities are look, are against the violence you saw in sutherland, people turning out to accept that. but why aren't you addressing the point i'm making? there is concern, but we must not then jump from that to anywhere. excuse or legitimise far right violent thugs who have a poisonous, toxic ideology and are just looking for any excuse to go out and beat people, burn down citizens advice bureau , down citizens advice bureau, loot shops, attack the police and other emergency workers. it's where i think you've got to separate those violent thugs from wider, wider, legitimate areas of debate. but do not use that to legitimise the rioting and the marauding mob. >> and i wouldn't do that. and i've been on the record from the beginning that the violence by the moronic morons was unacceptable. what of the issue

of two tier policing? this is a this is two tier. keir is a label that i fear for. the prime minister may stick. we saw the we saw the head of the metropolitan police push a microphone out of a tv journalist when he asked a legitimate question , is there legitimate question, is there two tier policing? we saw it in birmingham, kevin, where the police ignored the pub where the landlady had to barricade people. in the pub it was smashed up by by muslim gangs. they were running , driving their they were running, driving their cars at high speed, round around it. no police presence that day or the day after that. fans the flames again of the idea of two tier policing does and then again the mob, the yobs, the thugs, the violent far right. >> use that and claim it as an excuse to justify their their own behaviour. there is no two tier policing. what happens is police, there is policing catches up with the people who riot. the police in the west midlands will go after those people. we saw most of the arrests are not on the night when you have riot in sunland or wherever they follow up, because

if you take several police officers, you're directing people to arrest you, expecting the police to arrest people involved in the attack on the pub.and involved in the attack on the pub. and we saw check. we saw, we saw in leeds where there was rioting in, i think it was the harehills area, 20 odd arrests and i saw some politicians saying, where are the arrests? some reform politicians, richard richard tice well, actually you saw the arrests. they follow . saw the arrests. they follow. that's what happens. there is no two tier policing. this is becoming another myth to divide britain . britain. >> let's talk very briefly about the polls. very early days, but it's not a very long honeymoon for keir starmer. and if you look at the polls, he's way back on where blair was in his first month in power, way back on where thatcher was way back, even on gordon brown in his first month in power. he lacks charisma. kevin, he didn't speak with any great. he didn't unite the nation, did he? when he was talking about the horror we all felt by what happened in southport ? southport? >> no, i thought he captured the moment on on southport. i it was afterwards how do you how do you capture the mood against the violence? the fact is he's a

he's a doer not a seer. right. and he's not going to govern in, in, in poetry, but he will act in, in poetry, but he will act in prose and he will make things work. that's what we're seeing happening. hopefully this unrest has been quelled for now. it'll it'll be back. i don't think thatcher or blair could have maintained their popularity at those levels in the polls. now because we have an era of constant scrutiny. it's every second of every minute of every houn >> just briefly, we're here in this great city, the capital city of scotland, the edinburgh festival. you and i are going to be appearing on that stage in the assembly rooms. i'm appearing on the stage . is it appearing on the stage. is it true you're sweeping the stage? >> sweeping? i'd sweep you under the carpet, i mean, or carpet, you know, i'll be there with you. shameless plug, noon today , you. shameless plug, noon today, then tomorrow and saturday, too, with special guests . with special guests. >> that's a 15 amp plug, actually, kevin maguire the daily mirror. i'm andrew pierce, stay with

gb news. >> welcome back to britain's newsroom 1021 it's bevin benn this morning with andrew up in scotland at the edinburgh festival. we are joined in the studio by carol maloney and former labour candidate susie stride in the studio. right, ladies. tons to talk about. just we're just saying, carol, these headunes we're just saying, carol, these headlines across the paper all unanimous that, we all unanimous these were riots by far right thugs and it proves that everybody in this country is unhed everybody in this country is united against thugs and also very pro—immigration. what's going on when all the newspapers agree like this ? agree like this? >> well, you know, i'm not entirely sure. i mean, it was good to see. i mean, i got very worried yesterday because i was watching people gathering outside london, lots of people on bikes and in masks gathering outside the city. and i thought, oh my god, it's going to be a night of hell. but no, this is good. it looks like, you know, we're finally coming together.

yeah. we're finally saying enoughis yeah. we're finally saying enough is enough. agreed, but that doesn't mean it's all down to the far right. it really doesn't. you know, the violence we've seen on all sides of the past few days has been inexcusable. it's been terrifying, in fact, when you realise how how fragile peace is in all of our cities. but, you know, i don't like the idea. it's just the far right that are being blamed for it. they should being blamed for it. they should be blamed. and the ones that have been, they've been put in jail today. absolutely right. but but there's other people who should also be on there who i haven't seen that. but this is good.i haven't seen that. but this is good. i mean, this makes this this is good because the demonstrators are massed in areas where there had been rumours that there might be a lot of trouble. so they went there to try and counteract that. and it turned out that those people were the thugs weren't going to go to those areas. but it's a show of unity, which is what we've needed over the past four days, because it felt like our country was being defined. but when you say it's a show of unity, it basically gives the message . gives the message. >> now, i think anybody that

complains about too much immigration too quickly and those have legitimate grievances about their life or that will happen, is keir starmer will say, well, i refer you to the front page of the daily mail, from today, and you can quite clearly see that the whole of britain is on board with multiculturalism. and we're just one big, lovely, happy melting pot. i know you can't afford your coffee, but tough. >> that does frighten me. and that's why i said today that a lot of the thugs on the front of the papers today, there wasn't. there were all white faces on there. and we have seen we have seen the films on here that that was not the case. the violence on monday night in birmingham was shocking. we saw what happened there, but we're not talking about that . and that's talking about that. and that's the problem in this country. that's why we can't address the real problems of what's caused these riots, because people won't acknowledge it. and you're right, it did occur to me that starmer would actually say, oh, well, the people people are okay about immigration. so i don't i don't have a plan to stop the boats, but anyway, you're all happy about it. and why not? >> susie? is that the assessment of this situation here is that this is the left. all coming

together, because even though these pictures look like there's lots of people, it's still only a few thousand people out of a country of, what, 70 million or so now. so is this a victory for labour? can they claim this is all their success? >> i think there's two different things going on here. i think ultimately everyone is united that we didn't want violence on the streets. i think it's absolutely right to say that it wasn't just one homogenous group going out. you know? and i think, look, we all we all feel relieved . i was in peterborough relieved. i was in peterborough to get my nails done and the police were coming and saying the shops have all got closed. and i was like, no, let me get my nails done. but, you know, and i was thinking there was this horrible, eerie atmosphere. and i thought this isn't good. we don't want this in our country. what people in other countries reading about us like this. so in some ways, i think, you know, look, this is really positive. i think this is, you know, well done to the police. i would say well done to keir starmer. i think it's absolutely well done to keir starmer. well, i mean i think it was very important how strong he came out of this. i'm sorry. >> they took him, took him six days. >> but there were two sides to this story. just because unity and there's been unity in the streets does not mean that we

ignore. a month ago, there was an election in this country and an election in this country and a number of people voted a certain way. there are whole sections of this country that are not happy about immigration, controlling immigration. and i think i've said this time and time again, all of the parties need to humble themselves and listen. the conservative party need to humble themselves in listening because obviously they lost. the labour party needs to humble themselves and listen because we didn't we didn't win win, did we? she just didn't lose. don't worry. it's very, very important. i want to assure you that i think there are good people. in, in high parts of the labour party that are not going to be stupid on this. >> so, susie, where are, you know, during the election, part of the manifesto was that starmer said, as did yvette coopen starmer said, as did yvette cooper, that they had a ready made plan, ready to go to control immigration. where is it? why haven't we seen it? 4000 people have come on boats, just on boats alone to this country since labour were elected. they don't have a policy. they're dismantling all. i mean, the tories didn't put much in place to control immigration. they did try. but the things that they

did put in place the illegal immigration act, rwanda, the visa limitation for only being to have to earn so much before you come here, labour is dismantling all of that and they've got nothing to put in it. they don't need it, carol. >> it doesn't matter now because they've won power , they've got they've won power, they've got their landslide. and if you oppose small boats coming or you oppose small boats coming or you oppose towns being, flooded with legal migrants and the infrastructure is not there to backit infrastructure is not there to back it up, you're a far right thug. that's the narrative. that's true. it doesn't matter. >> so they don't care on social media, you know, over the last 3 or 4 days, you have a load of, very ordinary, very decent working people who who , you working people who who, you know, grannies and grandads and mums and dads who are putting pictures of themselves up saying i'm a far right folk because i disagree with 20 years of uncontrolled immigration. >> i want to say this is very important and i agree with what you're saying. we can't have we can't. there are people that, you know, have really poor views on race and they are in a certain category. and i was born up on the isle of dogs, where we

had the bnp. as a 12 year old kid, i had skinheads . you know, kid, i had skinheads. you know, there is there are certain people in this country and we don't want that. however, there are just normal people. i've just been in the lake district with a family that i've known for years, and, you know, all of them are on the table like, well, half of them were like we wrote in reform, but you know, you've got to listen to people. we've got to listen. we've i agree with them or not. >> susie, do you think your leader is going to listen to people? because it seems to me that he's just going la la la la because the elites and the labour party don't care about immigration. it's not a problem for them. they don't say why we shouldn't have open borders. tom has just agreed to take another. however, many tens of thousands of people from spain because he thinks we're not taking enough migrants in so he's not listening. he's just, you know, no, i think i mean, i think we've look, we've made it very, very clear , you know, that this very clear, you know, that this is going to be a priority. >> and i do think, i mean, look, you you'd have to be extremely unintelligent to not realise that this is a top issue in this country. this is something that people, people are concerned about. but i don't think i don't think that the answer is, you

know, it's not going to just be a blunt tool on this. there's different things, isn't there? number one, there's nothing even the well, even the fact that they're going to make sure that we begin to actually process people's applications so people know so that people that should not be here, you're just giving amnesty and letting everyone in who comes. >> and that's not processing, that's just letting them in. >> i mean, i don't think that's what's going to happen. it's like yesterday. i mean, it's happening. i don't think that's what's gonna happen. i think over the last ten years, i don't think the conservatives, unfortunately, have a very good record on this. we haven't seen a good record on this, you know, and actually what they were trying to do wasn't working. i think i think wanda sneaks in because labour consistently voted against it. >> that's why rwanda was never allowed. >> i think we're four weeks in. i think, you know, let's come back in a few months and let's see. i mean, yvette cooper is a force to be reckoned with. no, she's not, she is she's been i actually do think they they see where we are in a couple of months time. i think they will be. but it's really interesting because i was on yesterday and someone was saying to me, oh, you know, we're allowing people that, you know, they're going to land in this country and they're

going to get council homes and people have got tents. and then i called my friend who's very high up in a in a housing landlord and sorry, big registered social landlord, and she said, susie, we already have these powers. we've had these powers for years. this, this headuneis powers for years. this, this headline is completely dated and irrelevant . so my concern is we irrelevant. so my concern is we have to be very careful . have to be very careful. >> susie, answer the question. this is what policies do you follow? where are we going to put the 4000, for instance, who came just this month alone ? came just this month alone? where are they going to go if they're not going to go and housing that we already have, where they've already said they're going to disperse them across the country? >> yeah. in private, private homes. exactly. yeah. private homes, private landlords who are renting out to serco on ten year contracts, inflated rents , contracts, inflated rents, landlords. they're saying thank you very much, mate. ten years rent and inflated costs. >> i mean, what i was saying is the conservatives i mean, i've actually worked with refugees. we're talking refugees that have come here because they're persecuted for their faith. if they go back to iran, they're going to, you know, they'll be tortured and killed. so, you know, different types of people coming over to the country. however, what i want to say is, is this the conservatives, the bill that they raked up because those people were in hotels.

okay. and not being processed? let's be honest, it's going to cost. the funny thing is, is, look, 14 years, whether we're talking about here is a tory susie, it's going to cost. but my question to you would be, do you think the tories did a good job. >> no. >> no. >> did they do a good job? what i think what i really think, i think we're coming on now is the tory 14 years labour. >> well, you ask me a question. let me answer it. so i think if the labour had backed off and let the rwanda plan work for three months, even, it would have deterred lots of people coming here. but they never gave it a chance. you can't say a plan doesn't work if you keep blocking it. i mean, i think ultimately the conservative record on this was poor and we still don't know why people voted them out and we still don't really know what labour are going to do. >> i mean, you say yvette cooper is a force to be reckoned with. i mean, she will only be interviewed mainly by her husband on good morning britain. she's very welcome on here. any time. yvette cooper, but how is she? a force to be reckoned with? >> i mean, is it a big deal? we've had bores, interviews. i mean, yes, isn't it big deal? >> how can you ask that question? >> not. >> not. >> not. >> not unless you're a raging communist. no, i guess it's not. >> i'm not a communist, but, you know. but anyway, north korea,

it happens all the time. >> it'sjust it happens all the time. >> it's just here we quite like to hold our politicians to account . account. >> why the corbyn lock border security forces has been rambling about for months. you know, she can't get anyone to headit know, she can't get anyone to head it because no one wants to take the job because it's a poisoned chalice. >> i mean, i mean, i'm going to be honest with you. i mean, like literally we're talking we're three, four weeks in, three, four weeks in. yes. but i think i think we've got a very clear plan. i think give it a few months. well, i hope you're right. i mean at the moment we've got a they've been in for three, four weeks. what's the plan. they've had the king's speech and then now they're on recess. >> our plan right now is to go to the news with tatiana sanchez. ladies, are we back in the next hour? here's tatiana. >> beth. thank you. the top stories this hour. the metropolitan police says officers have made ten more arrests over the violent disorder outside downing street yesterday evening. it comes as police launched dawn raids in london this morning to round up suspected rioters. thousands of

counter—protesters rallied in cities and towns across england after a week of disorder in croydon. ten were arrested for offences including assaults on an emergency worker. however, gatherings that took place in north london, bristol and newcastle were largely peaceful last night, with counter—protesters chanting refugees are welcome here. police had been braced for further violence, with thousands of officers deployed in more than 100 events anticipated. metropolitan police chief sir mark rowley has praised police forces across the country for how they dealt with the unrest last night . last night. >> it was a massive policing operation . i'm really pleased operation. i'm really pleased with how it went and we put thousands of officers on the street and i think the show of force from the police and frankly, the show of show of unity from communities together and defeated the challenges that we've seen. and it went off very peacefully last night, a couple of locations where some local criminals turn out and try and create a bit of anti—social behaviour. and we arrested a few of them, but it was a very successful night and the fears

of sort of extreme right disorder and were abated. so a successful operation thanks to communities and police . communities and police. >> northern ireland's first minister, michelle o'neill, says it's important for political leaders to speak with one voice, following scenes of violent disorder on the streets of belfast. stormont has been recalled following the rioting, which police say involves a parliamentary element. members of the legislative assembly meet today to discuss a motion condemning criminal damage and targeting of businesses in recent days. six people have been arrested for race related hate crimes and disorder across belfast. the police service of northern ireland came under a sustained attack from petrol bombs and bricks in the city on monday night. there have been several arrests in recent days, including a boy as young as 14 unked including a boy as young as 14 linked to allegations of race related hate crimes, disorder and rioting , and patients in and rioting, and patients in england with an inherited blood disorder are to become the first in europe to benefit from a gene therapy costing well over £1

million a shot. the treatment, called castelvi, uses molecular scissors to disable a faulty gene that causes the debilitating condition. beta thalassaemia . currently, people thalassaemia. currently, people severely affected by the disease need blood transfusions every few weeks because their own red blood cells are unable to carry enough oxygen around the body . enough oxygen around the body. but in trials, 90% of people were effectively cured by a single treatment . and those are single treatment. and those are the latest gb news headlines. for now, i'm tatiana sanchez. more from me in half an hour for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code, or go to gbnews.com forward slash alerts . forward slash alerts. >> thank you tatiana. now the labour mp jess yardley has published philip's brother jess phillips. she's, of course, the mp for birmingham . yardley has mp for birmingham. yardley has published her fourth book. it's

called let's be honest, interesting. it was more honesty if there was more honesty from our politicians in the uk, would it rebuild your trust in them? jess phillips, of course, has some of her own questions to ask, which we will, probe in the next couple of minutes. this is britain's newsroom on gb news. we'll be back in

tick. >> welcome back to britain's newsroom, bev and ben, this morning with you. it's 1038. morning with you. it's1038. you've been getting in touch at home gbnews.com/yoursay paul good morning. >> you say i disagree with the presenters more cctv is needed. facial recognition. recognition is needed. unless ben and bev have something to hide. wouldn't you like to know? i don't see what's wrong with it. i've got nothing to hide. so i don't care if i'm recorded. well, look, that's like saying, as edward snowden famously said, saying you don't care about privacy because you've got nothing to hide is the same as saying you

don't care about free speech because you've got nothing to say. it's your human right and quite frankly, whether i've got anything to hide or not, i don't want the government and the authorities snooping around my business. >> privacy is important. the concept of privacy is something that we're losing every single day. i don't think my children's generation, your children's generation, your children's generation, will know what it is to be private, to know what it is to walk down the street and not be part of your brain. thinking about the fact that you're being monitored. your face is being assessed. we see it now every till. don't we go into the supermarket and don't think that this won't have an effect on how we feel as human beings. we're not meant to be observed all the time, and silkie carlo from big brother watch. as you know, i'm a huge if you watch regularly. i'm a huge fan of the work of big brother. watch. they are breathing down the neck of the government. all the moments that they have to be. and silkie has written a brilliant piece in the telegraph today where she said, don't give whitehall's censors a blank check because whilst everyone's been talking about two tier policing and right versus the far right versus the islamic community, what's happening behind the scenes is about control and control of the

population and just be really careful what you wish for under the auspices of being safe. >> and silkie was responding to a story in the daily telegraph today saying that secretive , today saying that secretive, covid era spy agency brought in to monitor social media during riots. so the government have basically revamped this covid era, spy unit which used to spy on covid dissenters. those that spoke out against lockdowns and everything else. and they've now turned it into an online monitoring tool, a spy tool or spy unit , to in relation to the spy unit, to in relation to the riots, to spy on you, to spy on you. >> and if you don't agree with what the government say, then you could absolutely get a knock on the door, because this idea of misinformation, disinformation is so nebulous because we've seen it so much in the last four years. what the government will tell you is fact is not always fact. in fact, more often than not, i'd say it's not. i'm much more frightened of the government right now than i am far right protesters or any sort of islamic thugs who take to the street, and people have had knocks on the door for things

they've said online over this past couple of weeks. >> but, you know, one person who hasn't, nick lowles, the chief exec of far left campaigner hope campaign group hope not hate, who said about a week ago that there was an incident where muslims had acid thrown over them , inciting violence, it's them, inciting violence, it's been argued inciting more tensions across britain. he apologised for reporting fake news. he's not had a knock at the door . news. he's not had a knock at the door. nobody's asked him why he tweeted what he did . he said he tweeted what he did. he said it was a mistake. but we've had people on the other side of the argument saying that they made mistakes by tweeting the name, the false name of the person involved in the southport incident. and they've had knocks on the door. some are being jailed for it. why hasn't nick lowles of hope not hate, who gets government funding or has, at least in previous years, from the home office to carry out their far left activities? why hasn't he had a knock on the door? >> complicated issues aren't there, right? and it's all about trust, as is this story. let's be honest. that's the title of the new book by labour mp jess phillips , who's calling for phillips, who's calling for democracy to be safeguarded. interesting. i think we'd all

welcome a little honesty from politicians. well, former editor of labourlist , peter edwards, of labourlist, peter edwards, a friend of the show, joins us now . friend of the show, joins us now. morning, peter. always good to see you. so let's let's be honest, says labour mp jess phillips. what does she mean when she says that our democracy has to be safeguarded? what does that look like in the world of jess phillips? >> well, jess phillips, is quite a long standing mp now elected in 2015, she's primarily known for campaigning against domestic violence, and she used to manage refugees women's refuges in the birmingham, west midlands area, which is also known for being incredibly blunt speaking and encouraging politicians just to tell the truth to their constituents and the media, and not use some of the, contortions or what's called triangulating, where you have two points, a and z, and you try and say something in the middle that doesn't offend anyone. so i've not read her book. it's only just been published. but she generally, you know, is a tribune for free speech and candour and realism . speech and candour and realism. >> so, peter, may i ask the

book, the title of the book about honesty is, for me, rather ironic, because when jess was getting heckled during her election campaign , 4 or 5, six election campaign, 4 or 5, six weeks ago, whenever it was, by those of the, the, the muslim contingent in her community, which she narrowly lost her seat to them. by the way, the independent pro gaza candidate, she didn't even have the seat. >> she almost she narrowly , >> she almost she narrowly, almost narrowly lost her, almost lost her seat. >> yeah. she she didn't have i'd argue the courage to call out by name who those people were. and again, in the last couple of days during these riots, she's been defending those people who are turning up to protests, armed with weapons, saying that they were just readying themselves for the for the far right. so doesn't she lack a bit of honesty when it comes to those two issues, >> i've not seen or read anything where jess phillips is defending violence or people being equipped for violence, and i don't think she would do so. and i'd make a broader point. well, she did, she tweeted it.

and i say this having lived in east london and in tower hamlets many years , i'm not imputing any many years, i'm not imputing any motives, but let's not talk about muslims as one bloc, just like christians or jews or people of no faith. there are people of no faith. there are people of no faith. there are people of a range of ages and a range of faiths, faiths. and they're not one monolithic bloc who all think the same view about everything. some are ultra conservative and some are ultra liberal. so i discourage you from talking about muslims in birmingham, as if they perhaps all of the same view . all of the same view. >> peter, let me just read that tweet to you. she said she's retweeting a sky news clip where armed muslim men code to the camera with weapons and pretending to fire a gun. she retweeted it and said , these retweeted it and said, these people came to this location because it's been spread that racists were coming to attack them . she's defending armed them. she's defending armed gangs on the streets, making gestures that indicate violence , gestures that indicate violence, pulling a trigger by saying they were just readying themselves for far right thuggery. that's not being honest . not being honest. >> well, no one should be pretending to shoot a gun. you

know, if you're an adult, that's intimidatory. but you'll note that the last sentence of jess phillips's tweet said violence will not be tolerated. so i think she's been pretty clear that she's anti—violence. >> i'm not saying she's pro violence. i'm saying that she hasn't been honest and spoken with integrity . commenting on with integrity. commenting on these riots. she's saying that these riots. she's saying that these these armed muslim groups are there because they're readying themselves for the threat of the far right. and also during the campaign where she narrowly lost her seat, she didn't call them out. these people out by name. she didn't call these people out by name and call them, you know , and call them, you know, radical. i'm sorry. >> i'm sorry. you're so confused. you said it again. she didn't lose her seat. >> i never said she lost her seat.i >> i never said she lost her seat. i know she won her seat. i said she she narrowly avoided losing her seat by a couple of about 1000 or 2000 votes. okay. she's she's she's a home office minister. how could she lost her seat ? seat? >> exactly. that was the point i'm making. but i also think you're offering no context to that tweet, and it's not really balanced either. i wasn't in birmingham, so, i don't have all the details going on, but there's no suggestion at all that she was defending violence.

no suggestion understood. >> and i think and she wasn't defending the violence, but i think the tweet that we're talking about, i think it was on the screen, i'm not sure, is where she basically says that the people who came out , the the people who came out, the muslim boys who came out with with weapons and drove around the roundabout in their cars very quickly outside the clumsy swamp pub , were provoked to come swamp pub, were provoked to come out. it was almost as though they had no choice but to come out. but in terms of trust, peter, i think there's never been a time almost where trust in the elites who run our country is at an all time low. and i think that looking at the way these altercations have been handled in the last few days by keir starmer, narrowly describing all those people who came out with some of them with legitimate grievances as far right , doesn't do a lot to right, doesn't do a lot to engender trust in the electorate, does it? because it's just not correct. >> well, first of all, thank you for providing some of the detail of what's gone on in birmingham.

i'll take the broader point that anyone who waves a weapon at a car window is behaving in a threatening and intimidating criminal way, and even being a victim of prejudice and many of us have faced abuse in our lives doesn't justify waving a weapon. yeah. but i do think keir starmer is being honest because you know, politicians have to address en masse what's going on in the country. and it's clear that the protests or i should say, riots, this week were led by people on the far right. and again , i've not met anyone, you again, i've not met anyone, you know, left, right or centre that believes that it was angry remainers or liberal democrats leading riots. it was a far right leading riot and they were doing so to cause distress, often motivated by racism. >> okay. all right. we've run out of time. peter, but thank you so much forjoining us on that. i still object to this idea that everyone there was far right. some of them were just bored. idiot scallies who wouldn't know the definition of far right if it came up and smacked them in the chops? right? up next, transgender ex

boxing promoter kellie maloney is going to give us her verdict on the olympics. gender boxing row. you don't want to miss that. this is britain's newsroom live across the uk on

gb. news very good morning. it's 1051. very good morning. it's1051. this is britain's newsroom with bev and ben on gb news now taiwanese boxer lin yu ting has successfully gone through to the women's featherweight boxing final at the olympic games in paris. >> that's just a day after algerian boxer imane khelif passed through to the finals in the welterweight. >> obviously it's an incredibly controversial issue, so to discuss why we're joined by boxing promoter. delighted to see you this morning, kellie maloney. morning, kellie . maloney. morning, kellie. morning. morning, right. tell us your position on this. should these individuals who have been raised female be able to fight

in these olympic games because they have x y chromosomes? so biologically they are male? >> well, we've been told that by the russian federation that have been banned by the olympic committee. we've not seen proof of that. and these two girls, who are maybe intersex, i don't know, because i'm not a medical profession. so i can't comment on the medical side of it. but they've broke no rules. they're following the rules of the olympics. the argument should be with the olympic committee, not with the olympic committee, not with the olympic committee, not with the two fighters, because the iba said the international boxing association banned them from competing in their competitions because they failed this gender test. >> but as you say, kelly, we don't really know the details because they this is private medical information. now, if the girls themselves and i am going to call them girls, i know a lot of our viewers don't like that, but that is how they've been raised. if they thought they had a case, they would have surely

appealed that decision and they didn't . so they know that they didn't. so they know that they are x, y chromosomes. >> so i don't know what they are. and nor do you or nor does anyone. all we know is what the olympic committee have said, that they are females and they've allowed them to box. and if you look at it, they've boxed all their licensed females. it's not as if they're knocking everyone out. i mean, the algerian girl, she's lost nine times to other women. why was there not a fuss kicked up when they were in the last olympics? it's only since the russians have been banned from the olympics. have we seen this. surface and the. so they're being used as political footballs between two federations. and i say both federations. and i say both federations. i say both federations. i say both federations are wrong. if the russians have got proof , they russians have got proof, they should show it and the olympics should show it and the olympics should do maybe different testing, and then we could get this dead right. and if they do prove to have extra male chromosomes or bigger

testosterone than they should have, then they should not be allowed to box. >> we shouldn't we find that out first before they go around smashing women in the face? >> i don't think they're smashing women in the face if they are one one. >> the italian resigned because she's never been hit so hard in her life. don't you think we should find out for sure first before we put them in the ring with ladies? >> excuse me, excuse me. here comes other 40 girls that she box have not said the same thing. i think the italian was used as kelly. sorry. >> sorry to. sorry to cut you short a big apologies. we're pushed for time. we're going to have to go to the weather, unfortunately. thank you though for joining us very much. forjoining us very much. appreciate you being with us this morning. >> thank you, thank you. >> thank you, thank you. >> here is annie with the . weather. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . solar sponsors of weather on. gb. news hello. good morning. welcome to your latest gb news, weather update brought to you from the met office. a pretty overcast and muggy day today. rain is going to spread in from the south and west though

tomorrow is looking that much brighter wherever you are. so this weather front warm front at first bringing in that muggy air will spread in from the south—west, bringing with it outbreaks of quite heavy rain at times, particularly across north western areas, but across western areas, but across western coast, the hills of wales, the south—west, it's going to be a lot of cloud around through this afternoon and that thicker cloud will spread up into northern areas of england. much of scotland as well, the far north—east of scotland staying clear of the rain through much of the day, but elsewhere risk of drizzly outbreaks of rain and temperatures not doing too badly. but i think you'll really nofice badly. but i think you'll really notice that muggy feel through this evening. the rain will spread up further north and east, moving into parts of northern scotland, into the northern scotland, into the northern isles and the far north—east. some heavy bursts across parts of aberdeenshire are possible. temperatures in the mid—teens. for many of us, it's going to be a rather muggy night tonight. lots of cloud around across northern ireland, across much of northern england as well. the coasts here still feeling pretty drizzly and overcast, a little bit dry across southeastern areas, but i think still there's the risk of

some drizzly rain through this evening. and it's definitely going to remain quite grey. lots of cloud overnight as well . as of cloud overnight as well. as i said, it's going to be a very mild night. quite a close night as well. it will turn a bit fresher from the north and west as the night progresses. that's as the night progresses. that's as the night progresses. that's as the main weather front clears away to the south, so turning a bit fresher across northern ireland, much of scotland, the far north of wales, but still that muggy feel by tomorrow morning across southern areas of england that will likely linger through the first few hours of friday. some drizzly rain possible here. but then, once it does clear, it is going to be a brighter day on friday, more in the way of sunshine, particularly as we head into the afternoon. still, though, across many northern areas of scotland, a bit of a breeze and a risk of some showers. but temperatures around average for the time of yeah around average for the time of year. that's for all now and i'll see you again later. bye bye . that warm feeling inside

gb news. >> very good morning to you. hope you're well. it's 11 am. on thursday the 8th of august. live across the uk. this is britain's newsroom with me, ben, leo and bev turner. >> so has order been restored? well overnight thousands of anti—racism. you might say pro—immigration protesters. united police were of course braced for 100 anti—immigration protests. funny enough, they didn't happen. is this a win for sir keir starmer? he's certainly claiming it is and concern in the palace as well. >> from the king. king charles asks the government for daily updates on the protests as tensions remain high across the country . country. >> an airline easyjet, wants to recruit over 50 to their cabin crew as apparently middle aged people crave a new challenge. have you changed career later on in your life? stop looking at me, ben lear .

me, ben lear. >> and andrew pierce with you here? i'm in edinburgh for the greatest, the biggest, the largest europe arts festival in the whole of europe. i mean, george street in the new town. i'm going to be talking to politicians, and i'm also going to be talking to that man, kevin maguire, about whether keir starmer is really right to be claiming victory at the fact that there were no riots after all. yesterday, bev and i predicted, i think, yesterday on britain's newsroom, there wouldn't be any at all. all that coming up, though, after the headunes coming up, though, after the headlines with tatiana sanchez . headlines with tatiana sanchez. >> andrew, thank you and good morning. the top stories from the gb newsroom. the metropolitan police has made ten more arrests over the violent disorder outside downing street last week as officers launched raids in london this morning, they say it's related to the to they say it's related to the to the disorder in whitehall on wednesday night, police scoured thousands of hours of footage from body worn video , cctv from body worn video, cctv footage and social to media

identify those responsible for fuelling and committing violent behaviour. while that is thousands of counter—protesters rallied in cities and towns across england after a week of disorder, several arrests were made for offences including assault on an emergency worker in croydon. however, gatherings that took place in north london, bristol and newcastle were largely peaceful , with largely peaceful, with counter—protesters chanting refugees are welcome here. police had been braced for further violence , with thousands further violence, with thousands of officers deployed and more than 100 events anticipated . than 100 events anticipated. metropolitan police chief sir mark rowley has praised police forces across the country for how they dealt with the unrest last night. >> it was a massive policing operation. i'm really pleased with how it went and we put thousands of officers on the street and i think the show of force from the police and frankly, the show of show of unity from communities together and defeated the challenges that we've seen. and it went off very peacefully last night, a couple of locations, we had some local

criminals turn out and try and create a bit of anti—social behaviour, and we arrested a few of them, but it was a very successful night and the fears of sort of extreme right disorder were abated. so a successful operation thanks to communities and police , policing communities and police, policing minister dame diana johnson told gb news this morning she's optimistic following police responses yesterday. >> what we saw last night were the vast majority, the law abiding people of this country, expressing a view that we live in a tolerant britain. we are law abiding people. we do not like to see this disorder, this violence, this criminality on our streets. so i think it's that i think the public revulsion at what happened, the police being on our streets, providing that security and safety and then the swift justice. i think it's a combination of things that makes me cautiously optimistic about how this is now being dealt with. >> meanwhile, it's understood the king has asked for daily

updates on protests around the uk following the southport stabbings . uk following the southport stabbings. his majesty king charles is said to be engaging privately in the issues the unrest has generated . the king unrest has generated. the king has a record of involvement in issues around community cohesion and interfaith dialogue. meanwhile, reports of antisemitic incidents in the uk in the first half of this year have reached another record high, according to figures from a jewish security charity . the a jewish security charity. the community security trust says it registered almost 2000 cases in the first half of this year, compared to 964 over the same penod compared to 964 over the same period last year. compared to 964 over the same period last year . the charity, period last year. the charity, which provides protection for british jews against antisemitic attacks, says it's the highest total ever reported to cst in the first six months of any year. northern ireland's first minister, michelle o'neill, says it's important for political leaders to speak with one voice, following scenes of violent disorder on the streets of belfast . stormont has been belfast. stormont has been recalled following rioting in

belfast , which police say belfast, which police say involves a parliamentary element. members of the legislative assembly meet today to discuss a motion condemning criminal damage and targeting of businesses. in recent days, six people have been arrested for race related hate crimes and disorder across belfast. the police service of northern ireland came under sustained attack from petrol bombs and bncks attack from petrol bombs and bricks in the city on monday night. there have been several arrests in recent days, including a boy as young as 14 unked including a boy as young as 14 linked to allegations of race related hate crimes, disorder and rioting . in other news, and rioting. in other news, patients in england with an inherited blood disorder are to become the first in europe to benefit from a gene therapy costing well over £1 million a shot. the treatment, called castelvi, uses molecular scissors to disable a faulty gene that causes the debilitating condition. beta thalassaemia . it can cause thalassaemia. it can cause delayed growth. bone and hormonal problems, and affect quality and length of life. but in trials of castelvi, 90% of

going to him in just a moment. but what kind of reflecting on events this week as we get to thursday? of course last night the police were apparently braced for more than 100 demonstrations. businesses were panicking and putting mdf in their windows, and of course it didn't happen. some people didn't happen. some people didn't think it was going to happen anyway. there aren't that many crazy far right people in this country that want to go out setting migrant hotels alight and that's a good thing. >> yeah, nick knowles from hope not knowles. nick lowles. hope not. hate not not of diy knowles. >> he's you know, he doesn't do diy anymore. now he just spreads misinformation about riots. he said he's had one of those career changes after 50. >> hope not hate admitting that the riots last night, the perceived riots that were planned were a hoax. so tens of millions of pounds, i suggest on extra policing choppers in the air, all from a hoax. i don't understand why this hoax wasn't investigated. they they organised the police action based off a telegram message, which was clearly a troll message. but who wrote that message? why did the authorities not investigate it? and all that's happened now is you've

woken up this morning across all the newspapers, the guardian, the newspapers, the guardian, the daily mail, even the sun , the daily mail, even the sun, all with the same line, of britain uniting against, racism, against thuggery and the key point here that we're all pro—migration britain united is a good thing. >> let's be honest, we like that. >> but not all pro—migration though this weird utopian image of this country, which all the newspapers, regardless of their normal political allegiance , normal political allegiance, have agreed on this morning that everything is fine, everything is marvellous. >> where is it leaving you? is your head spinning like ours is? because there are genuine, legitimate grievances that people can hold in this country at the moment that might make them feel sufficiently angry to go out and push over a wheelie bin. i don't think you should be going out and punching police officers in the face. that is always wrong. and massive shout out to some of the police who've been amazing this week . but been amazing this week. but we've got 7000 businesses insolvent in the first quarter of this country at the moment. we've got 7 million people on the nhs waiting list . we've got

the nhs waiting list. we've got a government in power who effectively have got two thirds of the seats, with only one third of the votes. so it isn't all a settled. and as marvellous as the papers are making out, what's coming out of the back of this really strange set of events this week censorship, clamping down on what you can and can't say freely in your own house or on your own mobile devices. >> this telegraph story this morning saying that the government has reinvigorated a covid era spy unit. so this this disinformation unit that the government or the tory government or the tory government at the time used to combat. i think you're probably on the list. >> i was on that list. i am on that list. >> to combat covid dissenters has now been revamped to spy on brits online during these riots. >> because you know what? it turned out that during that time, i was right with the things that i said, and i was on that list. and if we fast forward to a time with a more authoritarian government, which it very much looks like this lot are going, i could have a knock

on the door and i could end up in prison for something that's deemed misinformation. but turns out with the passage of time to have been right, ofcom wrote a letter yesterday. now bear in mind we've got this online safety bill in the offing at the moment. i mean, it makes the hairs on the back of my arms stand up on end when i think about where this is going. but they said in this letter yesterday an open letter to onune yesterday an open letter to online service providers, and they said you will be aware the online safety act sets out new responsibilities for online services around how they assess and mitigate the risks of illegal activity. but they say you don't need to wait until this comes in. do something now. some of the most widely used onune some of the most widely used online sites and apps will in due course, need to go even further by consistently applying their terms of service, which will include banning things like hate speech. fine, we have that already. inciting violence? fine. you but what's your definition of that? and harmful disinformation? that phrase is absolutely open to interpretation. and that's where this ends. >> how many civil liberties are we going to give up to combat,

far right thuggery? that's the big question. what's coming off the back of this? what's coming down the road? do we have the foresight to see or the insight rather to see what's coming as a result of this? >> because this lot here, like i said, the pink haired people who make their own muesli this lot with their yellow placards, they would love to be surveilled every second they walk down the streets to keep them safe . won't streets to keep them safe. won't be that right? gb news reporter adam cherry is with us from westminster. good morning. adam, bnng westminster. good morning. adam, bring us the latest from this, from a political point of view. what's going on? >> well, so the government's cautiously optimistic that the worst is behind us. so we heard from diane johnson or dame diane johnson, who is the policing minister on gb news this morning, saying that just that that the worst has now passed and perhaps we're through this or at least the immediate rioting, whether we address the underlying problems that you guys have been talking about in the last few minutes is another question. i think this this

means immediately the calls to return, or to rather, recall parliament, which is currently in recess , will we'll dial back in recess, will we'll dial back slightly the likes of priti patel, nigel farage calling for that. patel, nigel farage calling for that . but patel, nigel farage calling for that. but given patel, nigel farage calling for that . but given there's no that. but given there's no escalation, it seems, of these riots and protests that pose an immediate danger, the political reasons to do that for the government are much weaker. they didn't want to do it in the first place anyway. they argued that if actually the executive had all the powers it needed already. it's interesting you bnng already. it's interesting you bring up the, the social media powers or policing that was encouraged immediately in response to this unrest, and there will be questions over whether that was appropriate and who decides what is incitement and who you know, who has that authority in is there are there consequences to that? we are expecting to hear from the prime minister as soon as this morning, perhaps early afternoon. so we will have more then and perhaps we'll have something to say on those questions. >> okay. thank you. adam there in westminster, right of course,

andrew pierce is still part of the show today, even though ben is here in the studio, because andrew is in edinburgh and we're going to go over live to him now. what are you doing there, andrew? why aren't you here? >> well, bev, morning to you again. and morning, ben. well it's the edinburgh fringe festival , the biggest festival festival, the biggest festival of its kind in europe, actually. i've got a confession . i am i've got a confession. i am appearing in it promoting that book of mine again with kevin maguire. i just want to say one thing about your response about the newspapers. i can tell you this. my newspaper is not taking a utopian view of the world. we know there are underlying issues which were a factor in why there were so. there was so much unrest across the streets . but unrest across the streets. but like everybody else, there was a sense of relief last night that there wasn't disturbances. although both you and i, i think thought whether we said it on air or privately were very sceptical that there really were going to be 34 or 30 5 or 36 disturbances. i'm with kevin maguire , kevin maguire, scotland maguire, kevin maguire, scotland unlike northern ireland and england, has had no disturbances

at all. >> yeah, the far right isn't as powerful here. there are fewer thugs like scotland has got its own problems. sectarianism. you've seen glasgow celtic football say that is probably one of the most sectarian cities in the uk. >> glasgow. >> glasgow. >> but reform didn't do as well here. they've probably got about half the share of the vote they got in england and i think the government, the, the scottish government has taken a very different tone. he had the government in, in westminster for 14 years. the conservatives, which were really sometimes not just a dog whistle on racism but using a megaphone. you don't get that in scotland. scotland has got a declining population and they the country welcomes migrants. >> you talk about the tory government using a megaphone on immigration. it's the tory government that's allowed record numbers of people to come into this, this country legally. far too many , in my view, and too many, in my view, and allowed record numbers of people to cross the channel every month illegally. look, it failed its own test, but the way it framed those tests, particularly during the dreadful period , suella

the dreadful period, suella braverman was the home secretary talking about an invasion and using the most hateful, poisonous, toxic , spiteful rhetoric. >> i'm afraid that inflames people now. there's no justification whatsoever for the far right violent thuggery in burning down a citizen's advice bureau , attacking the police, bureau, attacking the police, attacking mosques, attacking people who are muslims, attacking people of colour, just attacking people of colour, just attacking anybody. they don't like looting, looting shops. but we've got to be very careful about the public discourse because we do not want to give those people any cover, any encouragement or anything they can use to legitimise their thuggery in the election campaign. >> keir starmer in the home secretary, yvette cooper, shadow home secretary, he never gave any numbers about what they think is the optimum level of migration into this country. is the labour government going to try and reduce the numbers coming in? because kevin, the country cannot sustain a million people coming in every year. that's a major city. the impact on jobs and on housing and on

schools and on the nhs, let alone the social unrest it's causing well, under your brexit. >> i remember reducing migration was was a big part in charge of brexit. >> kevin. it would have been done completely differently. no no the net net migration was a record three quarters of a million that could be not sustained over any period of time, but it probably won't be anyway because there won't be the, hong kong chinese coming in. >> there won't be the ukrainians coming in, there won't be other people. and remember, most people. and remember, most people come here to work. the social care system, which is struggling now, would collapse without without people, without people coming in, just abandoned your cap on social care, the cap, but not in terms of getting a decent wage for carers, which will attack people in a profession that has been woefully underpaid and neglected and not properly valued. but the tories kept putting on a cap dunng tories kept putting on a cap during the david cameron era in manifestos 100,000 net figure never got anywhere near it, so it's almost pointless just coming up with an arbitrary figure when it is . there's two

figure when it is. there's two issues. there is. there's legal migration, and then there is also the issue of the boats. >> you've got to tackle the boats, smash the gangs , smash boats, smash the gangs, smash the criminal gangs. it's so easy. apparently i haven't done it yet. yeah record numbers are crossing the channel every day. kevin. that's going to become an issue . you know, next week that issue. you know, next week that will be an issue, you know, that will be an issue, you know, that will take some time. >> and also you've been too busy.i >> and also you've been too busy. i think the prime minister and yvette cooper the home secretary trying to smash the far right thuggee gangs that have been marauding through our towns and cities. >> all right. just finally, there's a tory leadership contest going on here in scotland. six candidates. they've only got five mps in westminster. there's quite a lot, isn't it, when there's six for the national party quickly. >> yeah. it's absolutely incredible how far they've gone back. they've become a sideshow. the conservatives it's a it's the same in as you know across the same in as you know across the country six candidates, 121 mps. can you name any of them, any of the candidates. yeah. look jenrick. no i mean in scotland of course i can't, i can. >> one of them's called murdo fraser. this is kevin maguire i

am birch. you're listening to gb news. we're going to have a short

break. >> hello. welcome back. 1121. you're with ben and bev on britain's newsroom on gb news andrews in scotland. and we're also joined by journalist and broadcaster carol maloney and former labour candidate susie stride in the studio. >> welcome back , ladies. should >> welcome back, ladies. should we talk about robert jenrick, who i think is probably just scuppered his chances of being conservative leader? what did he say, susie? >> i mean, whatever he may have said. look, i'm not a fan of robert jenrick for a whole lot of reasons. i can't even believe that anyone would take him seriously. you know, this man had to resign from being secretary of state because of, you know, dodgy interactions with a donor. you know, this is only a couple of years ago. so i don't even understand why he's even on the list to be because he's on the list. >> the story is that he said, he's been slated for saying that he's been slated for saying that he's been slated for saying that

he's been accused of textbook islamophobia for saying that anyone who uses the phrase allah can't say allahu akbar, allahu akban can't say allahu akbar, allahu akbar, allahu akbar should be arrested . now i know why he's arrested. now i know why he's getting slated for that, because a lot of a lot of people have come out today, naz shah being one of them. who am i going to take lessons on racism or anything from now? shah, who was suspended from the labour party for anti—semitism, however , for anti—semitism, however, she's come out and said that this is, you know, this is used in their prayer. it's afraid because, you know, it just means god is great. it means god is great. however, we also know that it great. however, we also know thatitis great. however, we also know that it is used just before terrorists pull the button on their suicide bombs. so, you know, you can't actually just say it's always used in the best possible terms when the phrase is abused. so this is what this is abused. so this is what this is what he's been branded i can i say this word on television. he's been branded a tool, a tool, a tool. well, it certainly you can't ban somebody from saying god is great in any language. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i think that this is where the sensitivity comes, isn't it?

look, you know, i'm a strong christian. i want to be able to say god is great in this country and not get in trouble for it. and i think this is where this becomes very sensitive. i think, look, when people are doing things in an intimidating way , things in an intimidating way, not acceptable when people are being violent, not acceptable. however when it comes to people's faith, whether that's hindu, jewish, christian, muslim, i think that that does become very sensitive. and i think that, you know, becomes very tricky. and i think we don't ever want to be a country where people can't have freedom of speech. i mean, you guys just been speaking about. yeah. >> you know, before, isn't it the case that isn't it the case now, though, that that there are certain religions that are seen to be above any kind of criticism or any kind of querying, any kind of, you know, islam as one of those religions. you mentioned you're a christian. people can slate christianity to hell and back , christianity to hell and back, but no one can say anything bad about islam because if you are, you're islamophobic. and it really worries me in this country that that phrase is being chucked around at anyone who questions, who dares to question islam or the practices, who dares to say anything that can be perceived as as critical.

and that worries me, because this is a democracy. we live in it in a free country and other religions. look what's happening to the jewish faith as we speak in this country is being slated every day of every week . every day of every week. >> you're not suggesting two tiered treatment of religious groups, are you ? groups, are you? >> i'm suggesting equality. that's what i'm suggesting. total equality across the board. >> robert jenrick has. he's a defended himself and pretty much apologised for saying that he. yeah. he said that god is great. he's been used as a spiritual term for many muslims around the world, not just, you know, as you suggested. >> i didn't say i never suggested that it was as that what i said was, well, no, i agree. >> i agree with you, but it has also been used by by terrorists. >> if you're saying it when you're detonating a bomb , the you're detonating a bomb, the problem there is the bomb, not the words , but what it suggests the words, but what it suggests is that you're doing it in the name of your religion, which which actually it's which is terrorism, isn't it? and we have and we have terrorism. >> but when you we heard it being shouted on the streets of this country over the past few days by some of the rioters.

yeah >> and i would absolutely defend their right to be able. would you. yeah. would i don't defend the behaviour, but i'll defend their right to shout whatever nonsense they want to shout in, in the street, because that's the kind of country i want to live in. >> people have been arrested for that. people have been arrested for what's what can be seen or interpreted as inflammatory language. >> yeah. you can't you can't ban language. i'm sorry. you can't ban language. no you can't. i agree with you. it's the one phrase it's been used before every terrorist attack in this country. london bridge, twice. westminster, the manchester arena bombing, and on and on and on. seven, seven on all around the world. but you can't you can't ban that. you can't. we're not like that. >> ban the language. >> ban the language. >> what about puberty blockers? >> what about puberty blockers? >> should we talk about that? yes carol, what's going on? so we had the cass report, which was very clear about the fact that puberty blockers should not be routinely given out to children . yes. and it doesn't children. yes. and it doesn't appear that that's happening . appear that that's happening. >> but what is happening is, is this is this is the nhs is launching its first service for trans patients wanting to return to their original gender. so the

very service that facilitated young people to change gender with the ease of a few pills and whatever are now having to set up a service to take care of these vulnerable, disturbed people who now realise they made a terrible mistake and they want to go back to the way they were to go back to the way they were to the gender they were born. now, you know, to me this is just the supreme irony. and, you know, these these kids, you know, these these kids, you know, set upon a course, some of them operations, some of them taking untested puberty blockers, you know, some of them have no breasts. now, they've had their thing, they've had their breasts removed. their voices have changed. they look different. and that can never be reversed now. so now the nhs, which facilitated the change of gendenis which facilitated the change of gender, is now going to set up a service to help them . service to help them. detransition you couldn't make it up. >> this is what happens when you use children as guinea pigs for the pharmaceutical industry. >> yeah. i mean, look, ijust think the whole thing is completely shocking. i'm just like, where were the adults in

the room, you know? and i think you know, we've got a we need to be all very grateful for jk rowling and others that were very brave and called out, you know what was disgraceful? i still want to know who were the people, whether it was tavistock. i can't remember. it was the tavistock clinic who somehow pushed this through in the way that they pushed this food. how was that able to happen? >> you know, susie, the labour party are still in favour of puberty blockers for children. they're also now trying to change. they want the curriculum changed in schools now that for kids as young as nine and younger to be taught about gender ideology, labour are pushing for this. >> where's wes streeting has come out these against the against puberty blockers. >> well wes streeting might be but there are still. well he's the health labour party. >> that would favour children taking these drugs. there's a new experimental programme starting up now where kids can join the programme to experiment with these drugs to see how they work it. i mean, they should maybe he's done that before they gave them to the first tranche of. yeah. >> i mean i think where's is the secretary of state for health. so he is going to be you know,

he is the voice on this subject for the government. and i think he's made it very, very clear. i mean, look, i work in schools. i've worked in schools for years. and i just think, you know, we need to be very, very careful on this. you know, i think, you know, ultimately a whole lot of children's lives, you know, and all the mix of like, mental health and all of this. and i think wes is absolutely right, and i think we are going to be strong on this. i think there's going to be a very strong line. >> can you begin to imagine the mental health problems and the physical problems of these, these young people now who are going to have to embark on detransition? can you begin to imagine what their lives are going to be like? >> i mean, literally physical pain as well, recovering from those sorts of and reversing those sorts of and reversing those sorts of operations. >> if lots of us here, you know, when this was happening, were saying, we're building up a problem for a whole generation of kids, and here we have it. >> now, if you've gone far enough down the process, you can't reverse it. you're infertile. you won't enjoy sex ever again , you're stuffed, ever again, you're stuffed, quite frankly. so maybe they should have been dealing with the problem before completely

before mutilating. >> should we have a little light on at the end? should we talk about ice cream? carol, i don't know if it's still a sunny day out there. >> how does the flavour red rum and raisin appeal to you? because this is the starting in poland. they want to make, ice cream with horse's milk now. and they've done that exactly . they've done that exactly. >> no. thank you. >> no. thank you. >> it makes you wonder how whoever tasted that, whoever thought it would be a good idea. but apparently, apparently, all the scientists are saying that it's actually better for you than cow's milk. fewer allergens , than cow's milk. fewer allergens, much healthier for you. it says the horse's milk contains health boosting properties and so they want the ice cream to be made of that. >> well, suzy, i guess we're all munching horse meat lasagnes for a while, won't we? some years ago. >> so why not? >> so why not? >> i mean, i it doesn't sound very appealing. however, it is interesting because, you know, we were all brought up with milk. you know, drinking milk would be nice to get my milk in my bottle with my blue ba.2 in the 80s. yeah. you know, i love my milk. my sister didn't like

it to drink hers as well, but actually, you know, milk isn't as good for you as we all thought. and actually, people in their middle ages shouldn't be drinking loads of milk. it's, you know, there's all these things. oh, it's so good for you, but good for you. so i'm interested to know, you know, if the horse milk is better than the horse milk is better than the cow's milk. it is funny how we saying i'm going to be in the ice cream? i'm just going to be honest. >> oh, animal protein is the best thing we can be eating. full stop. but isn't it weird that we're icky about horse milk? and yet we're not icky about cow's milk? why is that? >> because they're kind of pets, isn't it? we see what we've got used to. >> is that what it is? because they're still just four legged farm animals? >> i think we've just just thought we've got used to, isn't it? >> yeah. what about what about dogs milk then? >> i mean, that'sjust dogs milk then? >> i mean, that's just exactly thatis >> i mean, that's just exactly that is a no no. >> that's fine. i mean, some people do eat dogs in other country. it's very weird. but apparently it's better for your guts. >> it's got lots of fermented probiotics in it, so we should all be doing a bit more of that, shouldn't we? right, ladies, we've got to move on, suzy and carol, thank you so much. right, tatiana is waiting with your headlines. here she is .

headlines. here she is. >> bev. thank you. the top stories the metropolitan police has made ten more arrests over the violent disorder outside downing street last week as officers launched raids in london this morning, police scoured thousands of hours of footage from body worn video , footage from body worn video, cctv and social media to identify those responsible for fuelling and committing violent behaviour. thousands of counter—protesters rallied in cities and towns across england yesterday after a week of disorder. several arrests were made in croydon last night, however, gatherings that took place in north london, bristol and newcastle were largely peaceful, with counter—protesters chanting refugees are welcome here. police had been braced for further violence, with thousands of officers deployed and more than 100 events anticipated . than 100 events anticipated. metropolitan police chief sir mark rowley has praised police forces across the country for how they dealt with last night's unrest. >> it was a massive policing

operation. i'm really pleased with how it went and we put thousands of officers on the streets and i think the show of force from the police and frankly, the show of show , of frankly, the show of show, of unity from communities together and defeated the challenges that we've seen. and it went off very peacefully last night, a couple of locations where some local criminals turn out and try and create a bit of antisocial behaviour. and we arrested a few of them, but it was a very successful night and the fears of sort of extreme right disorder and were abated. so a successful operation thanks to communities and police . communities and police. >> northern ireland's first minister, michelle o'neill, says it's important for political leaders to speak with one voice, following scenes of violent disorder on the streets of belfast. stormont has been recalled following rioting in belfast, which police say involves a parliamentary element. if you're watching us on television, you'll see anti—racism protesters have began gathering outside stormont. whilst that meeting takes place. six people have been arrested for race related hate crimes and disorder across

belfast. there have been several arrests in recent days, including a boy as young as 14 unked including a boy as young as 14 linked to allegations of race related hate crimes, disorder and rioting . and in other news, and rioting. and in other news, and rioting. and in other news, a special set of stamps is being issued marking the history of the tower of london. royal mail has partnered with historic royal palaces on the images of the ten stamps. the main set of stamps includes the white tower, tower green and the king's house. royal mail says the stamps celebrate the myth and legend, ceremony and tradition of one of the most famous buildings in the world, and those are the latest gb news headlines. for now, i'm tatiana sanchez. more from me in half an hour for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code, or go to gbnews.com forward slash alerts .

forward slash alerts. >> patrick and emily are here to tell us what's coming up on good afternoon britain afternoon both morning still. >> yeah. morning. still just isn't it? >> yeah. we're looking forward to today. very weird stuff last night . very weird stuff. this night. very weird stuff. this one it was 30 protests planned when we were on air yesterday. thenit when we were on air yesterday. then it became a hundred. and then they were just shouting at thin air. there was a lot of anti—fascists there. there was a lot of palestine flags there. there was all these refugees , there was all these refugees, welcome signs there. i don't know, i just find it a little bit odd, really. so we're going to be having a chat about what intelligence led up to that. you know, businesses shut. people were full of fear. >> you know, there was a huge amount of fear. >> millions. >> millions. >> i mean, looking at social media, very ordinary people saying that they stayed at home because they were scared they were going to be attacked on their way to work. you had businesses putting on taxis so that people got home safely so that people got home safely so that they wouldn't be caught up by racist bigots on the streets. none of that . well, very little none of that. well, very little of that seemed to actually come to pass. so what was this all based on? was it just based on

one post on a telegram website? what exactly was going on there? we're going to get some expert analysis on that . analysis on that. >> i also think it's all very well and good for keir starmer and mark rowley to come out today and be saying, oh look, look. victory. well unless you address the real problem about what's going on with certain things like immigration, 51% of people, i think that's the top issue in the country, you know, obviously we don't want any far right stuff, but it's the millions and millions of other people that have got concerns that's not being addressed. so that's not being addressed. so that's an issue, isn't there? and we're also going to be talking a bit about about concerning something involving a taylor swift concert, which is. >> yes. so taylor swift as everyone should know by now, has been doing the most mega tour. she's added more dates, one of some of which were in vienna. we now know that the police or whatever authority has, has foiled this isis plot. and so she's cancelled those dates now. she's due to come to london very soon. apparently the police are all going to reassess the security on that one. so yes, this problem of the isis terror threat, islamist terror threat

hasn't gone away . it doesn't seem. >> is there a theme here with with taylor swift because of course, the southport incident was taylor swift themed dance class. yoga class. >> well, some are saying that this could be the isis are not great fans of female power. feminism and empowerment could be that someone like taylor swift is a target. i don't know, but it could have something to do with misogyny and everything else that goes with that. >> what happened with the ariana grande concert as well? targeting predominantly young females as well, just quickly on one thing, i think we're about to see a wave of people detransitioning is another thing the nhs is preparing for this. i think that will be followed quite possibly by a wave of lawsuits as well. so we're going to be talking about another gender issue that's taking place. >> okay. can't wait. fantastic show. >> see you at 12:00. right. up next, we're going to be hearing from the prime minister let's see if he takes credit for restoring order on our streets. i'm guessing he will. i'll bet on it. bet will. >> no, no, no. we're agreed. >> no, no, no. we're agreed. >> this

gb news. >> hello. welcome back. it's 1140 now. prime minister sir keir starmer has just spoken about the counter—demonstrations that took place last night. let's have a quick listen . let's have a quick listen. >> all right. i think the fact we didn't see the disorder that was feared is because we had police deployed in numbers in the right places, giving reassurance to communities. we were able to demonstrate the criminal justice system working speedily. so yesterday you saw the sentencing of individuals who had been involved in disorder days ago, some of them getting sentences as long as three years. that sent a very powerful message. but i also think that the work that's being done jointly to reassure our communities is becoming more effective. now. it's important that we don't let up here. and that's why later on today, i'll have another cobra meeting with law enforcement with senior police officers to make sure that we reflect on last night, but also plan for the coming days. >> things may have died down,

but we have seen violent scenes and riots for the best part of a week. looking across policing and government, would you really say that this has been a success and what are the lessons that you've learned? what would this government do differently in the future? >> the most important lesson is for those involving themselves in disorder, because what we've seen is that those that are being arrested now numbered in their hundreds, many have been charged , some already in court, charged, some already in court, and now a number of individuals sentenced to terms of imprisonment. that is a very important message to those involved in disorder. and i say it again , anybody involving it again, anybody involving themselves in disorder , whatever themselves in disorder, whatever they claim as their motive will feel the full force of the law. it's important i report that and repeat that, because we need to make sure that in the coming days, we can give the necessary reassurance to our communities , reassurance to our communities, many of whom have been talking to some this morning, are very anxious about the situation. >> if we have indeed turned a

corner and seen an end to the violence, is now the time to engage with the underlying tensions that are in communities over the issue of immigration. >> the first priority is safety and security of our communities. and yes, last night was much better than was expected . but we better than was expected. but we are not going to, you know, give up on our efforts here. that's why it's very important that i continue my discussions coordinating with law enforcement, with police leaders to make sure we've got the right officers in the right place to keep pushing on the criminal justice response. i was very keen that we were able to demonstrate that if you're involved in disorder within days , involved in disorder within days, you'll be in the criminal justice system and some people starting long terms of imprisonment that needs to continue . and so that is my sole continue. and so that is my sole focus . focus. >> thank you. well, there you go. that's your prime minister telling you what he makes of events of last night. and to give him his credit, i think he is probably there's some truth

to the idea that the police did very harshly and they i don't know how they managed to i still cannot no one can give me a straight answer as to how you can get that many people banged up that quickly within 24 hours, and yet people sit in on the list for years not getting sentenced. how can you police something that didn't happen? >> there weren't riots. it's now being widely talked about that this whole thing was a hoax. it was just a telegram message whipping up fear. how can you police something? well, that didn't happen. and also he talks about justice within days. i've said again, at the top of the show, there's the sun front page nailed and jailed, one protester who punched a cop in the face in southport, jailed for three days within three years. three. sorry, three years, within days. >> i think that's all right. i'm okay with that . okay with that. >> but, but but why? >> but, but but why? >> on the same note, why aren't the people involved , for the people involved, for example, in the manchester airport assaults on police officers where a young woman had her face, smashed in? why are they doing press conferences saying they're the victim? why can't we have justice like this? deserve justice instantly , all

deserve justice instantly, all across the board skirted the question again from the reporter there, which was, will you address some people's underlying concerns and why they feel angry about the world and all he talks about the world and all he talks aboutis about the world and all he talks about is keeping communities safe? >> he didn't say all communities and all people. he's totally ignonng and all people. he's totally ignoring the elephant in the room. malcolm says, does this incompetent government believe this threat has gone away? all starmer and yvette cooper have doneis starmer and yvette cooper have done is fuel the fire. the disenfranchised british people are angry beyond belief and i imagine there is a strategy for the next stage they're trumpeting. the majority want mass immigration will see. the opposite actually is true here. >> but bev, no one cares about migration . yeah, look, the daily migration. yeah, look, the daily mail, we're all united by our the guardian. come by us. we love we love uncontrolled mass migration. the mirror standing together. we love it all. we love it. we love migration. we love, we love all of it. daily liberal agenda. >> united britain stands firm against thugs. when the press all agree on something so unanimously. your radar, your suspicion should be going off. >> if you've got a concern about

migration, bev and societal integration, you are a far right bigot. just remember that you're the outlier. >> yeah, you're the weirdo. >> yeah, you're the weirdo. >> brilliant. >> brilliant. >> it's all about the language, isn't it? it's. andrew pierce does normally call me a weirdo. look it's all about the language. and what they've done in the last week is make it impossible to raise genuine concerns about genuine grievances, of not being able to access services in this country, because we've had what was it, six, 7 million people come and live in this country in the last 15 years or so, less right still to come. two men are being sentenced at liverpool crown court for violent disorder and unrest after the southport attack. we're going to bring you the latest as and when the sentence is made. this britain's

>> welcome back. it's 1149 just about ben and bev with you on britain's newsroom on gb news. and the olympics have of course been roaring on and we've bagged

a few medals. sports broadcaster paul coyte joins us now to give us the latest. paul, how are we getting on? >> ben i'll tell you what we're doing. good. it's bizarre that i saw you in the office about three hours ago. and now it's a dusky evening in the french caphal dusky evening in the french capital. who would have thought the wonders of i just for anybody listening on the radio? >> paul seems to be sat in front of the eiffel tower in the background there, and a parisian landscape go, paul. >> it's slightly better than it was. i had napoleon with me last week. but anyway, matt hudson—smith in the 400m, our best were one of our best runners. he's the fastest in the world this year, and it was a terrific race, but it was just like it was another pantomime because we're shouting, he's behind you , he's behind you. and behind you, he's behind you. and it was quincy hall from the usa. and pretty much like it was with cole hocker and josh kerr in the 1500 metres, who just he just came through in the last 30m, took the gold. so matt hudson—smith, who's had just a really difficult time through personal problems , injuries the personal problems, injuries the last two years have been better. a terrific run. he looked really

upset. there he is, there he looked really upset, once he'd come through and he'd been beaten. but his demeanour seemed to change as he walked through the stadium. everybody greeting him. and then i think he realised actually what he's done andifs realised actually what he's done and it's won a silver medal and he's he's talking about the fact, paul, that he even had made a suicide attempt a couple of years ago just after lockdowns, he was so down and just thought he'd need to quit athletics and never go back to it. >> what a fantastic story. he turned his life around, can we just talk about the skateboarding, please? because you mentioned it yesterday and i watched it and it's just amazing. >> how did you feel about andy mcdonald? because, andy, we spoke about yesterday's the 51 year old. and the thing is, you see him , he looks like a 51 year see him, he looks like a 51 year old with the skateboard gear in the helmet, flipping up the skateboard. and there's all these kids around him. he ended up not qualifying, but again , i up not qualifying, but again, i just thought it was a terrific story. i don't think he expected to win because you see the speed of half of the kids compared to andy, but andy still is a skateboarding legend, and for anybody to be competing at 51,

you've got to give it to him and i've got a good feeling for him in los angeles in four years. either that or he does the whist drive. i'm not sure which one he's going to do. >> paul, what's coming up today and tomorrow then? are we going to be bagging more medals? >> yes . listen, you're all about >> yes. listen, you're all about medals. i know that, ben. and it's going to be in the in the velodrome. we've got the omnium now. the omnium. i'll try and explain this as quick as possible. it's kind of like the decathlon. it's a multi—event, race. so there's four races in it. you've got the scratch race. this is the men's one, by the way. this is ethan hayter, who goes for us, who fell off his bike yesterday or fell off the saddle. so we've got the scratch race, which is the first across the line. you've got the tempo race, which is points for positions after every lap. the elimination race, which is always exciting because they all go around the track. whoever's last drops out until there's only one left, and then there's a points race at the end. so whoever has the most out of all of those four events, like the decathlon or the heptathlon, will be the winner. so we've got a great chance in that. and also we've got the women's keirin,

and that's where you have the motorbike takes them round. >> oh i like that one. >> oh i like that one. >> it's a great one isn't it. it started in japan and it's emma finucane again who we had win gold who was 21 years old. she stands a great chance of that six laps this three of them. they follow the bike which gets faster and faster. that's the electric bike. that's the motorbike. and then there's three laps where they just all race against them, against each other. so that is late afternoon, early evening. both of those, and i think we stand a great chance. >> and we got a silver in the cycling. in the men's cycling we've got silver yesterday didn't we. that the guy at the front, you'd have to remind me of his name who was so tired he literally slipped off the seat of his bike and he just couldn't. he was just wobbling. he fell off his bike. luckily he stayed upright, but they just lost it. up until that point, there were about 0.1 of a second behind. >> that's it exactly. it was ethan hayter and he's the one that's going in the omnium. so if you if you look at the picture there, the bottom two, they're on their saddles. i thought something had happened. he'd slipped. but you're right.

he'd slipped. but you're right. he just said he'd given everything . and in that last everything. and in that last lap, 250m, he just couldn't go on any further. and that was what gave australia the gold medal. so it was a good silver. but we're wishing him well a little later this afternoon, so hopefully he can make that silver a goal. >> thank you so much paul. well, i know how he feels because we've come to the end of the show and it's nearly night time too. here >> so get yourself a panel. chocolate paul. >> merci, ben. >> merci, ben. >> right, we are done for today. >> right, we are done for today. >> you will be back on britain's newsroom tomorrow. >> yes. >> yes. >> tomorrow morning of course. here on gb news and up this afternoon we've got patrick and emily will be taking you through until 3:00 in britain's newsroom. then of course, it will be martin daubney from three until 6:00 this afternoon. but here they are. this is patrick and emily, and we'll say goodbye for now. >> yes. so in the last few minutes, keir starmer has praised labour and the police for avoiding last night's riots. but can you guess what happened? he completely swerved. a question about immigration. do

outbreaks of quite heavy rain at times, particularly across northwestern areas , but across northwestern areas, but across western coast, the hills of wales, the south—west. it's going to be a lot of cloud around through this afternoon and that thicker cloud will spread up into northern areas of england , much of scotland as england, much of scotland as well. the far north—east of scotland staying clear of the rain through much of the day. but elsewhere risk of drizzly outbreaks of rain and temperatures not doing too badly. but i think you'll really nofice badly. but i think you'll really notice that muggy feel through this evening. the rain will spread up further north and east, moving into parts of northern scotland, into the northern isles and the far north—east. some heavy bursts across parts of aberdeenshire are possible. temperatures in the mid—teens. for many of us, it's going to be a rather muggy night tonight. lots of cloud around across northern ireland, across much of northern england as well. the coasts here still feeling pretty drizzly and overcast, a little bit dry across southeastern areas, but i think still there's the risk of some drizzly rain through this evening. and it's definitely going to remain quite grey. lots of cloud overnight as well. as i said, it's going to be a very

mild night. quite a close night as well. it will turn a bit fresher from the north and west as the night progresses. that's as the night progresses. that's as the night progresses. that's as the main weather front clears away to the south, so turning a bit fresher across northern ireland, much of scotland, the far north of wales, but still that muggy feel by tomorrow morning across southern areas of england that will likely linger through the first few hours of friday. some drizzly rain possible here. but then, once it does clear, it is going to be a brighter day on friday, more in the way of sunshine, particularly as we head into the afternoon. still, though, across many northern areas of scotland, a bit of a breeze and a risk of some showers. but temperatures around average for the time of yeah around average for the time of year. that's all for now and i'll see you again later. bye bye . that warm feeling inside bye. that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers , sponsors of from boxt boilers, sponsors of weather on
