the victims family, radd, morning to you. it's appalling and tragic for these families to have lost their loved ones in the most cruel and terrible circumstances. but then to read this report, this man should not have been on the loose. he should have been sectioned and medicated . medicated. >> andrew dong, good morning andrew. you're absolutely spot on. our our lovely ian, ghani and grace should still be alive today. and that man should never have been on the streets. and you know, i'm doing the best to support the families as best i can to get justice and accountability. but where on earth , as human beings do you go earth, as human beings do you go when your loved ones have been destroyed in this manner? andrew can you just i mean , obviously a can you just i mean, obviously a lot of people out here are angry, but for the family in particular, the fact that there have been so many failures, systemic failures, both in the in the nhs, in the care and also

in the nhs, in the care and also in the nhs, in the care and also in the police. >> i mean, can you just just give us a little picture of how the families are feeling this morning? must be incredibly anger and it should be living this pain constantly . this pain constantly. >> john, you're absolutely right . >> john, you're absolutely right. so, you know, first things first, they're coping with the most unimaginable loss. but then on top of that , when you learn on top of that, when you learn that the state, the various authorities and organisations who were there to keep, these, these lovely people safe failed not not just on the day , but in not not just on the day, but in the 3 or 4 years in the lead up to it, you know, there were so many opportunities to to, prevent this tragedy from happening . and all i can say happening. and all i can say this morning is, having spoken to them, you know, we've obviously known about this for a little while now , but this little while now, but this morning, their blood is boiling. so they're coping with the loss and now they're faced with, you know , with with, you know, where know, with with, you know, where do you go with that when you know that your loved one should still be here? i don't know how they're coping with it. and, you

know, they're getting counselling. but the best that we can do with your wonderful help is to make sure that these tragedies are these, these loved ones have not been lost in, in vain and that we can try and do some good going forward, on top of making sure that there is accountability at every level , accountability at every level, whether that's with the police, whether that's with the police, whether that's with the police, whether that's with the nhs, whether that's with the nhs, whether that's with the nhs, whether that's with the local council, everybody here had a part to play, everybody had an opportunity to keep calocane off the streets and they failed. so there's a lot of work still to do. so thank you for asking how they are. i can't even begin to describe the pain that they're going through this morning. don for the sentence to be reviewed because they feel calocane should have a whole life sentence and be served in a prison, not in a secure hospital. >> does that campaign continue ? >> does that campaign continue? >> does that campaign continue? >> it does. it does . andrew. the

>> it does. it does. andrew. the families are absolutely certain that calocane in in that moment had mental capacity. he planned it. he was carrying a rucksack full of weapons. he didn't harm other people. so they're convinced that in that moment, he had he had criminal responsibility for what he did. and together with the family's lawyers , were gathering as much lawyers, were gathering as much evidence, documentation together. and to drive this to the public inquiry that we've all heard about this morning, this judge led inquiry. and if new evidence comes out at that inquiry, which, you know, the current government must be commended because they've they've promised the families this if new evidence comes out that in fact, the courts and the experts in the criminal case got it wrong, then there is an opportunity to have this revisited. the families are utterly convinced that calocane knew what he was doing, and if he knew what he was doing then, then there is criminal

culpability , and the lawyers and culpability, and the lawyers and i are steering them in that direction. it's going to take a little while. andrew we must be patient. we must gather everything together and then and then hold this post office style inquiry, which we've all been watching . and that's what these watching. and that's what these families are entitled to. and that's when we will get to the bottom of it all, andrew, you know, to get that accountability. but for goodness sake, and i know we've all been discussing it this morning. we know the nhs is broken. it's under—resourced . they're not under—resourced. they're not enough people. they're doing far too much work , and these things too much work, and these things happen. too much work, and these things happen . so let's hope happen. so let's hope nottingham, andrew and dawn is that opportunity to, have a sea change in approach. and because , change in approach. and because, you know, we're entitled to send our kids to university. ian was entitled to go to work that morning and come back safely . morning and come back safely. and i you know, you can tell how emotional i am this morning. i'm just so upset on their behalf. all right. >> radd. radd seiger speaking for the nottingham families.

thanks for that. we're joining us in the studio as the former labour mp, now chief executive of the think tank labour together. jonathan, you're one of your briefs. when you were in the commons until the last election was the health portfolio shadow health. this is a cataclysmic failure by various bodies. he was sectioned four times. he wasn't taking his medication. >> i mean, absolutely, but can i just say at the start, i cannot imagine the pain, the anguish, the anger, the upset that the family must be going through to not only have lost their loved onesin not only have lost their loved ones in the most horrific of circumstances , but to now learn circumstances, but to now learn of these deep , systematic of these deep, systematic failures in the system which had had something happened sooner in the system, their loved ones may still be with us today, so it's absolutely right that there's a proper, inquiry in this. and i think the labour government have committed to that , and hopefully committed to that, and hopefully we'll have more details of that soon. but it is clear that something has significantly gone

wrong here. and it is i think about a bigger picture about mental health services in this country. you know, mental health services . country. you know, mental health services. improving mental health is always one of my big passions in politics. when i was both the health spokesperson for the labour party, but also as a politician, i've campaigned on and will continue to campaign on, and we have problems. people do not get access to the care that they need when they're in, when they've got very, very serious mental health problems, which is what, the killer had in this instance, but also people with what is sometimes described as lower level mental health issues don't get support. and if you've got a also if you've got a drug or an alcohol problem and that's something i'm passionate about because my dad had an alcohol problem, you can very rarely get the support either. our mental health system is broken and it desperately and urgently needs fixing. >> the problem with that, jonathan, is, is calocane was getting was getting treatment. he was being treated, but he was let out of that treatment because of system failure . this because of system failure. this isn't to do with funding per se. he was in treatment and they let

him out to, to commit this, this horrible crime. i mean it's sort of like three people have lost their lives because of it. i mean, labour really. do i know you're not serving mp at the moment, but labour have to do something. they have to do something. they have to do something fast. i mean, how many more people are there out there like this? >> well, when i say access to treatment, i mean that in the broad terms because as i understand the case, and i might be wrong on this because i've not followed every in and out of the particulars of the case. >> but for a while he was refusing his medication, and what the system failed to deal with him. and now this comes down to something called the mental health act, which is which is i don't want to get too sort of boring and technical about it. the mental health act is the regime that governs who is the regime that governs who is sectioned and who isn't sectioned. it does need reform because some of it is really sort of old fashioned, almost victorian, actually, in the way some of it operates. the two main parties have said it needs reform. the labour government has said it's going is going to push ahead with reforming that act. but i think one of the

questions and the challenges for the labour government and my old colleague and friend wes streeting, is how reform of the mental health act will deal with people who are a danger to society, a danger to themselves and what the regime is. for sectioning. >> let's move on to another subject. when are you going to stop the boats? >> well, serious? >> well, serious? >> hang on. >> hang on. >> we've had hundreds and thousands since you lot got in. there was hundreds and thousands. >> what are the other lot as well? there were. >> there was a rwanda plan. i know you mocked it, but the first thing you did was cancel it. could you not have even tried to see if it was a deterrent? >> it was a fiasco, andrew. >> it was a fiasco, andrew. >> no, it wasn't a deterrent. you didn't give it a try. >> it costs £700 million and i think only four volunteers. so when are you going to censor more journalists went to rwanda than actual people, who were who came on boat hundred arrived on sunday. i know two people died. it's a that is a tragedy. that is horrific. it's a serious, serious problem. but the idea that you're going to fix this in four weeks, when the previous

government couldn't fix it in years, and in fact , why didn't years, and in fact, why didn't you try rwanda? rwanda isn't going to work. it was. >> we had evidence. what evidence were moving from northern ireland to southern ireland to avoid the threat of rwanda? rwanda, widely reported rwanda? rwanda, widely reported rwanda was an expensive fiasco. >> it was not going to fix this. the way you fix this and you stop the criminal smugglers being in charge of our borders is going after those criminals. >> we heard from yvette cooper that, you know, we're going to smash the gangs by closing down, nail bars and car washes. have we closed any down yet? i mean, it doesn't seem to be making much difference if we have. >> well, you've got to enforce immigration law. but of course, under the previous law, immigration law wasn't enforced. now i got criticism criticised in the in the election campaign when i pointed out under the tories, what they've done is they were basically leaving asylum claims, people in limbo, putting them up in hotels and never processing their claims. the consequence of that would have been spending billions and

billions of pounds , leaving billions of pounds, leaving people with no status in this accommodation forever . what you accommodation forever. what you actually need to do is process people's claims. so those who those come here can get on with their lives, and then you put in place sensible return, and then you put in place returns, returns, agreements with parts with countries across the world for people who are not asylum claims, who are economic migrants and don't have the right to be in the uk, good luck. that is a that is a sensible, humane having a immigration system. >> iran. >> iran. >> well, that's that's that's exactly the point isn't it. you have returns agreements with countries where people are economic migrants, economic migrants and don't pass or don't qualify for the immigration status . that is that the of status. that is that the of haaland long hot summer coming up very briefly. >> long hot summer coming up. how quickly can you try and do your plan to smash the gangs ? no your plan to smash the gangs? no one yvette cooper seemed to make it sound very easy. >> yes. just a few nail bars. yeah, yeah. >> no one is pretending that this is easy or straightforward. in fact, the previous conservative minister grant

shapps was on a podcast just last week saying how he thought rishi sunak was wrong to have said he's going to stop the boats because it was too. it was unrealistic and it did prove utterly unrealistic because they didn't have a serious plan . didn't have a serious plan. rishi sunak thought, i'll stop the boat, stop the boats and then you would give him glowing, glowing endorsements. >> he's got to go back. >> he's got to go back. >> jonathan, how long are labour going to say it's that last fault before you start? accept responsibility. >> i think at least another yean >> i think at least another year, a year, only a year. >> andrew jonathan ashworth staying with us and we want to get your thoughts too, on sir keir starmer being branded the greatest threat to free speech in british history. >> you're with britain's on gb

it's 950. you're on britain's newsroom. this is dawn neesom dawn neesom

well remembered. it is not beverley turner. no, no no no beverley turner. no, no no no beverley turner. no, no no no beverley turner. and this is jonathan ashworth who was, until recently a labour mp. he was one of the few to lose her seat. but we won't go into all of that because don't intrude on private grief, even though we're about to talk about free speech. >> stop doing it then you said you weren't going to nigel farage jonathan, who's now an mp, says that he fears keir starmer is about to embark on the biggest restriction on free speech in peacetime because of the internet, because of cracking down on the lies, the hate, the propaganda on. >> i mean, where's nigel farage, said this, he's presumably said it on gb news on his twitter account, on fox news. you can say it in the house of commons, you can say it on these youtube channels. i mean, cracking down on free speech. i'll give over nigel. of course he's not cracking down on free speech, but he's making the point. >> he's going to use the far right riots if you accept to, restrict civil liberties. >> well, look, there is a serious question as to what material is allowed on social

media. yeah. and what i mean by that is, quite rightly, nobody can come on your show and make defamatory comments about colleagues . or if they did, colleagues. or if they did, they'd get themselves in trouble or start making racist remarks. they'll get themselves in trouble or start inciting violence. you know, very quickly, the show would close that down. and that's and that's right. because there are rules around what can be said and what cannot be said in broadcast, on broadcast, platforms . so why can broadcast, platforms. so why can people go on to social media and incite, violence, make racist, islamophobic remarks and so on. there does have to be, i think, some rules around this wild west, how it is governed. i don't know, but i thought there already were rules already. >> we could the government could technically under the online safety bill, take 10% of an onune safety bill, take 10% of an online company's, turnover if

they are inciting hatred . they are inciting hatred. >> well, i don't think the online safety bill has been fully enacted yet. i think we're still waiting for ofcom to make its. >> and the provisions won't come until the end of next year. it's far too late. >> so the provisions are still not there. but this is also about the people who run these platforms. and what they do is, i mean , look, forget sort of i mean, look, forget sort of elon musk's or elon musk's rather sort of sort of attention seeking buffoonery on the platform. it's about the algorithms and the algorithms deliberately promote , i think, deliberately promote, i think, incendiary material, because that's what gets clicks and that's what gets clicks and that's and that's what the platforms make their money out of in terms of the advertising revenue. and to be fair, that's going to be dealt with. >> but that is a wild west, isn't it? there is no real legislation globally governing how the internet and social networks operate. but the one thing there's a very fine line isn't there between, you know, you know, racial hatred and inciting violence and speculating about who may have done what. i mean, we had that example of that 55 year old woman who was simply speculating

on who may have committed, you know, a crime . now, how why what know, a crime. now, how why what what grounds is that an arrestable offence? >> because i think in that i mean, in that circumstance and obviously we've got to be careful because some of these things are subject to. >> yeah, this person hasn't been charged by the way. >> but but yeah, but you know, nonetheless, given there's , you nonetheless, given there's, you know, obvious authority interest in this, i just want to be careful what we say. but the point is you've got to when you've got a significant social media following and you're seen as a social media campaigner. and i think if you've been campaigning on issues around lockdowns and vaccines and so on, so you've got a following, then i think you do have a responsibility to be careful in what you are posting and it does incite it. does it does lead to people acting in particular ways. >> all right. listen, jonathan, we haven't been running out of time. ofsted clock speeds. will you come again? first time in gb news studio? >> yeah. yes. i've been i've been delighted to. yeah >> delighted to have him. that is jonathan ashworth. i >> delighted to have him. that isjonathan ashworth. i didn't is jonathan ashworth. i didn't get to taunt him about losing

his seat at 22,000 majority, but somehow you did mention it at the beginning. slightly. this is gb news the with andrew pearson . gb news the with andrew pearson. dawn neesom alex has got your latest weather. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb news >> morning. here's your latest met office weather update for gb news. it's not going to be as hot as yesterday, but nonetheless some hot sunny weather across eastern parts today. however, elsewhere things are going to be a bit fresher as we have a band of rain pushing in and that's going to be bringing some wet weather to most of that rain has now cleared away from northern ireland, with just a few showery outbreaks following in behind. but across scotland, northern england , wales and the southwest england, wales and the southwest it is going to turn cloudy and wet as we go into the afternoon ahead of the front towards central eastern parts of england. it's staying sunny and with that pretty hot with temperatures getting into the high 20s. so not as high as it was yesterday. as we head towards this evening, that front

will have started to clear away across parts of scotland, but nonetheless some showery outbreaks of rain following in behind and there will be some strong winds , particularly out strong winds, particularly out towards the west. some coastal gales, perhaps for the hebrides, along with that showery rain for northern ireland. it's a mostly fine end to the day. some sunny spells , 1 or 2 showers, perhaps spells, 1 or 2 showers, perhaps a cloudier story across much of northern england as that front continues to make its way southeastwards, that rain then spreading across wales into the midlands and many parts of south—west england. but all the time across the east and southeast, it is staying largely dry. some clear skies to end the night here, but overnight we are going to see the cloud building as that front gradually makes its way towards the south—east. and here we could have some heavy bursts of rain around as we go through the early hours of tomorrow morning. further towards the north—west, some clearer skies behind that front and fresher air. and so here temperatures quite on the low side dropping into single figures away from the towns and cities through tomorrow morning . cities through tomorrow morning. yes, some further heavy rain, likely across parts of central,

eastern and southeastern england. for a time the cloud. the rain is going to break up a bit as we go into the afternoon though, but with the bright sunny spells we could see some heavy, maybe even thundery showers developing later . showers developing later. elsewhere. plenty of dry, bright sunny weather around and temperatures around average for the time of year. so mid 20s at best buy by that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb. >> good morning. it's 10:00

nottingham stabbing victims, barnaby webber , grace barnaby webber, grace o'malley—kumar and ian coates , o'malley—kumar and ian coates, have criticised the mental health services who dealt with sinner valdo calocane in the lead up to the attacks, saying they have blood on their hands. >> well, that's after a new review found an nhs trust missed very many opportunities to deal with him. he was sectioned no fewer than four times and in the end was on the loose effectively and was not taking his medication . medication. >> yeah, it was not like he escaped, by the way, they let him into the care they did gp they didn't see him for three years. good luck with that one. right. we're joined now by rachel kelly, an ambassador for the mental health charity sane. rachel thank you very much for joining us this morning, obviously the inquiry is shocking. i mean , it's shocking. i mean, it's absolutely a mess of inefficiency and cock ups and cover ups. let's be honest. what do you make of what you've heard? >> well, i think it's invidious in a way to comment on the individual case, but it does

reflect broader trends about what's happening in mental health provision . and one of the health provision. and one of the problems we have is there's been such a widespread increase in anxiety and depression . we saw anxiety and depression. we saw it earlier with the tragic case of the cricketer taking his own life , that some of these life, that some of these conditions, like schizophrenia and psychosis, are being neglected. and don't those people are not getting the kind of support and help that they need. we have just basically not enough psychiatrists, not enough psychiatric beds. and i think the other broad trend is that we moved psychiatric care roughly in the last few decades away from care in hospitals, psychiatric beds to this concept of care in the community. and thatis of care in the community. and that is another problem in these very severe cases, because actually , rachel, he didn't he actually, rachel, he didn't he didn't need care in the community. >> he needed to be in a secure unit of some description. >> he needed to be in a secure

unit. and if you look at the numbers , we basically we have numbers, we basically we have around about 13,000 psychiatrists all in. we've got about 700 vacancies for consultant psychiatrists . and if consultant psychiatrists. and if you look at the way that we have replenished other specialities in the national health, so consultants for cardiovascular health, consultants for cancer, there's just been a very big increase. but that increase has not been matched by serious psychiatric care. and you'll have heard over the years this sort of idea that that mental health is the poor relation of physical health. and politicians have been saying this for ages, came up in the king's speech once again, starmer promising that that mental health would have parity with physical health. and it's just not happening. >> i was looking , rachel, the >> i was looking, rachel, the mail's pointed out. jonathan zito was stabbed to death on a london tube station 30 years ago by a schizophrenic who'd been pushed from pillar to post from

4 or 5 different institutions. he'd been sectioned. he'd not been sectioned. that was 30 years ago. so it seems we're not even learning the lessons from then. even learning the lessons from then . and i wonder then, rachel, then. and i wonder then, rachel, if it was a resource issue, or is it, just as you say, it's always been a bit of a poor relation . relation. >> well, i think that , yes. you >> well, i think that, yes. you make a couple of very good points there. it has been a very long term problem. we have moved . long term problem. we have moved. we have made huge strides in a broader awareness of mental health problems and taking them as seriously as political as physical problems. when i first wrote about my own experience of severe depression in 2014, i was assumed to be very brave. i think now there's a widespread understanding that mental health is a very serious issue. we need to take it seriously . but within to take it seriously. but within that overall kind of increase in awareness, this particular section of very serious, severe problems, when you read about mental health in the press and in the media, you tend to get a

focus on anxiety and depression. that's where the celebrities are coming forward saying they've got problems. but this, this little section, which is about 5%, this very serious area of mental health is an area it doesn't get the focus. it's not kind of what you might think of as sexy charities don't, you know, necessarily give it the sort of support the profile that other mental health problems have have. so even though it is the most tragic end, it's not getting the focus. and as you say, it hasn't for a long time. >> rachel, one of the things that worried me in this, in this review is the chief inspector of health care at cqc said the issues are not unique and without action will continue to pose an inherent risk to patient and public safety. how worried should the public be? >> well, i mean, you know , in >> well, i mean, you know, in a in a case like this, which is obviously so utterly tragic and has had such a high profile, you know, anxiety levels do go up. but of course it is the

exception. and i think our best approach to resolving these things is, is, is to stay calm and not overreact. but but we do need these sort of systematic changes. we desperately need to start with more psychiatrists, with with more, more support and more help for people with serious problems. i mean , there serious problems. i mean, there are two issues. there's the issue of the sheer numbers of professionals who are able to help people with these kinds of problems, but also in my work as an ambassador for rethink and sane , if you go around the sane, if you go around the country as i do, there's huge variation in in terms of, of, of kind of getting people help how quickly that happens. we've seen in this inquiry a series of cock ups and inefficiencies, some some health trusts are good. let's keep this in perspective. this has turned out to be as you say, a catalogue of disastrous errors. but that's not true everywhere. but we do need to level up and make sure that that this just never happens again.

>> all right, rachel, that's rachel kelly, who is an ambassador for the mental health charity sane. and also rethink mental illness. thanks so much for joining us. i think we have forjoining us. i think we have to cling on to what rachel said. actually, no, absolutely. this is an exception. >> it is. >> it is. >> and a horrific exception, as jonathan zito was 30 years ago, but there is learning the lesson but there is learning the lesson but and as but as rachel pointed out, 700 psychiatrists short. yeah. >> and if we'd have had time, i'd have asked. i would have liked to have asked rachel how hopeful is she that what we've learned from this review will change anything? >> indeed. now moving on. gb news can exclusively reveal 5000 small boat migrants have crossed the channel since labour swept to power, with that biggest majority since 1997. right, okay, that's us border force experts warn sir keir starmer has promised to smash the gangs is a near—impossible task. we're going to talk now to our gb news home security editor mark white, who is, of course, in the right place. dover mark. that's quite a milestone. 5000. >> yes , indeed. and even yvette

>> yes, indeed. and even yvette coopen >> yes, indeed. and even yvette cooper, the home secretary had warned the cabinet just recently that they faced a difficult summer ahead in terms of small boat arrivals because as the weather gives way to flat, calm conditions in the channel then the people smugglers will continue and are continuing to push the boats out. >> one has left dunkirk this morning trying to make it across the channel as we speak. i've been to the boat storage yard where a lot of the boats that are intercepted in the channel are intercepted in the channel are eventually deposited. here's my report at a compound on the outskirts of dover. a sobering illustration of the scale of the task facing the new labour government in their efforts to end the channel migrant crisis. row after row of small boats, hundreds of them, many now deflated and rolled up as we

filmed, contractors dropped off more dinghies. the latest to have made the illegal crossing into uk waters. this is for rishi sunak . sir keir starmer's rishi sunak. sir keir starmer's focus is on going after the people smugglers, who've now sent thousands more migrants across the channel. since labour came to power. but the former head of border force says tackling international criminal gangs will be extremely difficult without full cooperation from many other governments . governments. >> he's a very, very big ask, i think, to expect the uk to be able to smash the gangs, if you like, without some form of international collaboration, where powers can be used by other countries on their jurisdictions to bring people to justice and to prevent people and goods crossing borders, etc, rather than the uk being able to do this on their own. >> tony smith says there is no indication so far that the

appetite of the smugglers and their customers has been in any way diminished since labour came to power. >> this is a hugely lucrative business. there is an unending supply of migrants pervading the eu border, many of whom are in various member states very keen to get across to the uk, who are prepared to mortgage their lives effectively , to get a place on a effectively, to get a place on a very dangerous vessel, to get themselves into uk territorial waters. that narrative still exists, i think across europe and beyond. so the pull factor is very much there for now at least. >> the migrant boats will continue to stack up here as even the government acknowledges it will take some time for its new approach to impact the organised criminal gangs, making millions from their trade in human misery. mark white gb news >> well, that's an unwelcome headune >> well, that's an unwelcome headline for the government, isn't it? >> josh ? yeah, i mean it's

>> josh? yeah, i mean it's beautiful weather down there and we've got good weather forecast coming up. so it's going to keep coming. and you know what. you know the government has plans. we're going to do this. but what are you going to do. >> and they cancel and they cancel rwanda on day one. i know they said it was a joke. it was expensive. but there was evidence from what we saw in northern ireland, in ireland it was a deterrent and they got rid of it. they should have at least tried it . tried it. >> well, absolutely. because what have we got now? we've got yvette cooper saying, well we're going to tackle the gangs by closing down nail bars, the illegal car washes and this backlog. i mean , the shot of the backlog. i mean, the shot of the dinghies. you can't believe it. and why don't the french pearson before they leave the french shore? >> not difficult, is that. >> not difficult, is that. >> i mean, is that rather than standing just watching them and waving them off. >> now, up next, find out how the pop superstar madonna has outraged italians with her 66th birthday party planned. who has a big 66 birthday party? what did you do for your 66? >> oh, sorry if i look like that. >> you're with britain's newsroom on gb news

what concentrating it is. 1022 britain's newsroom with me, andrew pierce and dawn neesom a vision in yellow, in bright yellow with a matching highlighter. >> this is getting a bit ocd, do you reckon? >> i do in the studio? it's our panel >> i do in the studio? it's our panel. the very fine piers pottinger and the very fine gb. news, political commentator nigel nelson. >> i'm surrounded by gorgeous young men and you. >> that's charming , isn't it? >> that's charming, isn't it? >> that's charming, isn't it? >> isn't it just you? >> isn't it just you? >> just. you just made a joke about my age. >> yes. >> yes. >> gentle gentleman, london's most leave now. yes. london's most leave now. yes. london's most notorious phone snatcher. tell us more, >> yeah. >> yeah. >> this is a guy called sunny stringer who's. who's been caught , which stringer who's. who's been caught, which is his name really is sunny stringer. well, that's the name that he certainly was convicted under , and he managed convicted under, and he managed to steal 24 mobiles within an

hour, to steal 24 mobiles within an hour , on an electric bike, which hour, on an electric bike, which could go. hate those electric bikes. yeah, which could go up to 50 miles an hour. so the question is, what do you do about it? this is another sort of spate of crime. we keep talking about knife crime, for instance. what do you do about somebody like this? the we've all had this is because he's on his electric bike. >> yeah. you can't hear it. he comes up behind someone on the phone and snatches out your phone and snatches out your phone from your ear. >> effectively, that's that's the peril of people using their phonesin the peril of people using their phones in the street. yeah. so i mean , my answer would be mean, my answer would be neighbourhood police that you need people, you need them out there to go and do that . yvette there to go and do that. yvette cooper has talked about getting 13,000 more, neighbourhood police and pcsos. but the more you've got on the streets, the more likely you are to catch people like this. >> yes. yeah. i mean , i think as >> yes. yeah. i mean, i think as you know, i believe the bobby on the beat is a great deterrent. and it was proved this terrible stabbing in leicester square yesterday. the police were there

in minutes in a couple of minutes because they are in leicester square. they're not in tooting high street. no and i mean i've seen we have on our local whatsapp community, whatsapp, endless stories of people having their phones nicked by people on bicycles. yeah. and it's all very well yvette cooper to say we're going to have 13,000 new police when and how? i mean, she might as well a good idea. would be all the people coming in on the dinghies. give them a uniform, a truncheon and say, you've got job. >> yeah. you know, you can have 700 tomorrow, but also, is there not an issue about these electric bikes and these electric bikes and these electric scooters? >> they're not regulated in any shape or form. they go very fast, very dangerous, and they're very dangerous. and they can they can they can literally implode . combust. and they they implode. combust. and they they are a mugger's charge. >> and the people who drive them or ride them, ride on pavements, they do . they go down cycle they do. they go down cycle lanes. the wrong way. they are

very dangerous . and with all the very dangerous. and with all the cctv cameras around the place, even if the police are not in the street, they should be capturing these images of these people and actually, arresting them because they are unregulated and incredibly dangerous. >> the problem you've got with this story now is there is mobile phones stolen in london, one every four minutes. is that so? yeah, i have mine done recently as well. not by someone on a bike but. and were you holding it when they took it. no, it was in my bag. oh see. and but but a friend had it very quickly. a friend had her phone stolen when she was walking home from work, and she reported it to the police and she was phoning her husband like you're told to do. i'm on my way home. i'll be with you, and the police said, why were you using your phone? and it's like, because advice to a woman on your own is to use your phone to say, i'm leaving here. i'll be with you in such and such a point. you can't win. but it's out of control, totally out of control. >> but also, and under the

previous government and policing, losing your phone. not a serious matter. shoplifting. not a serious matter. unless it's over £200. these things do matter, piers, because it matters a lot to people. yes. if you lose your phone, you lose your bike. if you're burgled and they only nick a bit, they. the fact is, every crime they've broken into your home, every crime should be, should be looked at. >> i mean, the problem about is, is that you lost 20,000 police officers under the tories as a result of that, they weren't able to do absolutely everything. what you got to do is increase police numbers quite clearly. so you do investigate every crime that happens . every crime that happens. >> but also, i mean, it's the police have got a broader, portfolio now because of hate crime and racial crime . if crime and racial crime. if i made a racial slur here now, i imagine for police at least would be here in minutes. i mean, before vans if you did it online. but i mean, they've got to focus on real crime. something that of course , in something that of course, in certainly in london. sadiq khan, the labour mayor, has failed

completely. he's also in charge of the metropolitan police. he's the commissioner of the metropolitan police. and i mean crime has soared under him sword. >> they've got the priorities right. when my phone was stolen. not going about me. it's not all about me. but the first question i was asked by the police is what ethnicity i i was asked by the police is what ethnicity about it. oh, yes. >> i know any about it. oh, yes. >> i know any about it. oh, yes. >> nothing at all. >> nothing at all. >> let's sort of wet banksy. >> let's sort of wet banksy. >> shall we go right up to. >> shall we go right up to. >> yes. well, banksy, who's done these marvellous, art displays of animals throughout last week. and every time we thought it was the last one, there was a new one. he did a brilliant one of a fish tank around a police box. he's done a rhinoceros look. it looks like it's mounting a broken down car. i saw that one. >> that was quite clever. >> that was quite clever. >> and someone has actually vandalised that. or put some graffiti on it. but actually, i think banksy won't mind that because it's real. but what banksy has done is brought a

smile to londoners faces. yes. and it's, it's, it's marvellous that that he's doing this and we don't know where it's leading. it could be more to come but i'm a great flourish doesn't it, that actually he's building up to something. >> something what? >> something what? >> does he do it in secret when it's all done in such a public place? >> well, he has a team, and he doesitin >> well, he has a team, and he does it in the middle of the night. right? and for example, the fish bar with the pelicans. brilliant. >> i love that one. yeah. >> i love that one. yeah. >> that fish bar will be doing huge amount of business now as a result of this. and hopefully it will stay in business forever because those pelicans on the fish bar are absolutely fantastic. >> he did a he did a satellite dish and it's about crime in london. he did a satellite dish. someone nicked it straight away. >> no no no. the question is did he intend that quite clearly at a banksy is a very valuable commodity. you stick it on a satellite dish. it's like sort of sticking the mona lisa on a lamppost. somebody's going to come along. yeah. >> i thought it might have been a bit, but it's his humour i think is the great thing. >> and also he's exported this around the world in, in penang ,

around the world in, in penang, in malaysia, in georgetown, there are banksy style graffiti on walls, paintings. there's a particular one of children with bicycles , which has become bicycles, which has become a massive tourist attraction. and the artist who did that said he was inspired by banksy. good for him . and it has brought joy, him. and it has brought joy, smile and tourism. >> talking of tourism, who wants to go up pompeii? >> gentleman madonna does and she wants to hold her 66th birthday party there, which has upset the locals. i should think so. well, it's a pretty historic, fragile monument. >> yeah, but pompeii is an ancient ruin. it is an ancient ruin. >> talking of which, her plan . >> talking of which, her plan. >> talking of which, her plan. >> yeah, is to, bring 2200 guests into the amphitheatre. there right. and have a huge party. and the locals are upset about this. i'd have thought they should be quite pleased. i mean, if you've got an old amphitheatre, you can't do much damage to it if you hold a party

there. >> are you sure? >> are you sure? >> and on the basis of that, why don't we use these, these old historical monuments for something useful? well, i actually think madonna should have done it nearer, a different, volcano and gone to etna in sicily, which is at the moment live. >> so there was a good chance she and her ghastly bunch could get covered with molten lava. >> you're not a fan of the. >> you're not a fan of the. >> you're not a fan of the. >> you're not a fan. >> you're not a fan. >> i'm not a fan of it. >> the police are parked outside on that one sale by date. >> she is, i think. i've never thought much of her music such as it is. and as for her, you know, buying children all over the world, i think she's ghastly. and hold on, if i was, and it lived anywhere near pompeii, i'd be joining the throng and saying, no thanks , madonna. >> she's past our best. we've got mick jagger, 81, still on the road . the road. >> yes. well, i mean, i think he's past her. >> i saw her perform in hyde park and she lost the park because she didn't perform songs that we knew . she was trying out

that we knew. she was trying out new ones. so we were like a laboratory test laboratory, and people were drifting away long before the end. >> you never need to hear at a concert. here's my new concept album. >> yeah. no, we want to hear. we want to hear like a virgin, like a prayer. we want to hear all the old ones. that's what people have paid good money for. i felt we felt ripped off. actually yeah, we will be moving on and more to talk about coming back. they are coming back. yes, they're coming back because punishment. because we're going to tell you all about interpol, which could be a problem for keir starmer in small boats. but first we're going to get the headunes first we're going to get the headlines to sophia wenzler. >> andrew. dawn. thank you. it's 1031. i'm sophia wenzler in the gb newsroom. the families of the three nottingham stabbing victims have criticised the mental health services who dealt with killer valdo calocane, saying they have blood on their hands. that's after a new review found an nhs trust played down kalakani's risk to the public by

understand is the thought of going to aranda was a deterrent and would have saved the country millions. >> exactly . and yet migrant >> exactly. and yet migrant crossings, what starmer and the labour government fail to understand is that the thought of going to rwanda was a deterrent, and it would have saved the country millions. >> yeah, and let's just read one about harry and meghan. melinda says, i know you wanted to. it should be made clear harry and meghan's trip is not a royal visit. they wanted nothing to do with royalty, but yet used their titles to do trips like these. their titles should be removed immediately. >> what happens is they still got. i've lost the plot. well, she's a duchess. >> they've got the duke and duchess of sussex. he's still prince harry. >> yeah, that's true. >> yeah, that's true. >> he was born a prince, don't forget. yeah. and the duke and duchess was a gift from the late queen. on their wedding. >> this is the fact that they're off to colombia, which they , in off to colombia, which they, in their view, appears to be safer than windsor. yeah. they can't come here because i can't get my head around this one. i can't i can't bring my wife to britain because she wouldn't be safe.

>> but i can take her to colombia, which some people may describe as bandit country, where the murder rate is considerably higher. and there's a government, britain, there's a government issue. >> don't go there. basically, it's not that there is. >> there is. and the whole trip will be hijacked by the very ambitious vice president, who came from very poor background. and there'll be a lot of reservations about it, i think, so now elon musk's interview with us presidential candidate donald trump finally got underway on x last night with more than 1.3 million people tuning in. >> they had more patience than me because it was a 40 minute delay, trump opened up on the recent, the recent, assassination attempt. that was it. i was trying to think, sorry, brain freeze there because i didn't move the aukus. >> q she's just being very diplomatic. >> i'm trying to protect you. in any case, let's have a listen to what he had to say. >> it's very much i. i say an act of god. it's a miracle that it happened. but i look to the right and. and the bullet and

the bullet came whizzing by, hitting my ear. so it was amazing. but when you think of the odds of that and, yeah, you know, that that normally you wouldn't use it normally i wouldn't use it normally i wouldn't have the thing and then, you know, it would have been a very different story. it's >> well, and it wasn't long before the democratic party got a verbal lashing from the former us president. >> i can tell you this . we >> i can tell you this. we cannot have a democrat. we cannot have a democrat. we cannot have a democrat. we cannot have her. she's incompetent. she's as bad as biden in a different. incompetent. she's as bad as biden in a different . yeah. he biden in a different. yeah. he hasn't done an interview since this whole, scam started. and say what you want. this was a coup. this was a coup of a president of the united states. he didn't want to leave. and they said, we can do it. the nice way, or we can do it the hard way so that was trump. >> jennifer jung from republicans overseas joins us in the studio. a friend of the program, jennifer, he sounded quite strange. it sounded to me like there was something going on with his teeth and his gums. he's very. did he seem a bit

unusual to you? >> i don't think so. i mean, he did talk for a very long time, you know, especially after that almost hour delay. but if you look at the papers and the mainstream media today, you're heanng mainstream media today, you're hearing about a lisp, a slur, exactly what you're talking about. i personally did not pick up on it. >> that's probably what i thought. >> yes. here. so you're hearing a lot of people say that he had a lot of people say that he had a lisp, but , no, a lot of people say that he had a lisp, but, no, i mean it. i wouldn't call what happened last night an interview, per se. it was more like a podcast . yeah, was more like a podcast. yeah, it was a conversation, elon musk, of course, was very up front in the beginning that he is a supporter of trump's. you know, that after the assassination attempt, he liked how he handled it with courage and bravery. in addition, they agree on quite a lot of policies. so this was not sort of, somebody who didn't have a view. so it was a very, very friendly interview, one in which as you'll recall, the commissioner of the eu , terry commissioner of the eu, terry breton, you know, i'm sure you saw that letter , wanted to stop.

saw that letter, wanted to stop. and then part of the reason for the delay was something called dos, which was people trying to stop the show from going. so there are a lot of people that did not want that conversation to take place. >> what's the what's it got to do with the eu? >> that's a great question. i mean, i don't know if you look at the comments that i mean, there's some fabulous comments, not just from elon and some funny memes, but just the average person saying, is this not election interference? but oh, and by the way, there will be a lot of people, andrew, who listened to that last night or most likely listened to it today. the numbers are extraordinary. by the way . yeah, extraordinary. by the way. yeah, close to a billion from all the listeners afterwards who go. i do think he sounded weird and i don't like the way he speaks. and this isn't the man for me. great. but we need to be able to have all voices heard. and by the way, we'd love to hear from kamala. it's been 23 days since no information, no interview, no way, no how it's gone down. >> because, i mean, obviously when biden stepped down and

kamala stepped up, yeah, she did. well, i mean, the polls were actually more positive for once. and donald trump was actually knocked down a few points. do we know how this interview has played out with the american public? have you had a reaction to it yet? >> sure. well, like i said, if you take a screenshot of the mainstream media, he's he was slurring. they talk about the tech issues, they talk about, you know , people are not fans of you know, people are not fans of elon musk right now. there's a real there's a real war on free speech going on right now. you guys know this. i mean, you're one of the channels in this country that's been so incredibly brave and allows all different views . so that's kind different views. so that's kind of the story of this . but what of the story of this. but what about the voters? so the voters reacting. good question. and elon said very early in the conversation he said this is for the independent undecided people who don't know how they're going to vote yet. we want to give them a chance to hear president trump in a very natural way , in trump in a very natural way, in a long form way, versus a lot of adversarial interviews that take place when you know candidates

left or right or on the back foot. so that's what he was trying to create. we will see what happens with the poll numbers for sure. and of course, he's invited kamala on, but she needs to do some interviews. >> is she running away in your view? kamala harris 23 days now and no interview cnn, we know were trying to approach her, what's she scared of? she doesn't know her own policy. is that the problem? well, that's one of the problems she's had. >> surrogate backtrack on a few very big policies, like anti—fracking, which she knows will not play well in pennsylvania, which is a state she needs to win, there's all this question about, oh, you know, i'm going to be great on the border. well, you were whether it's the border tsar or not, the border tsar, you were in charge as vice president for the last three and a half years. so to answer your question, andrew, what is she afraid of? if you recall, in the 2020 primaries, she started off out of the gate really, really strong, right? she's attractive . strong, right? she's attractive. she's vivacious. you know, she's got a nice vibe as they say. but

the more people saw of her and the more people saw of her and the more people saw of her and the more they heard from her and her radical left wing policies, she tanked . she got no, you she tanked. she got no, you know, she didn't even make it to the, you know, to the primary in her own state of very liberal california. so that's what she's afraid of. so they're just hoping this relief bounce can carry on. but eventually people are going to want to hear from her. all right. >> definitely. >> definitely. >> that's jennifer ewing from republicans overseas. and it will be interesting to see how the polls react to the elon musk interview. >> yes. very interesting. sounds like a job interview to me. >> up next, harry and meghan's new chief of staff has quit. gb news royal correspondent cameron walker will join us live in the studio to tell us all about it, because he didn't last long a mere three months. that's probably quite long. service in, harry and meghan's office through quite a few, haven't they? >> there has to be said. yeah. >> there has to be said. yeah. >> this is britain's newsroom and dup

news. >> hello. welcome back. it's 1050 and we have bad news. is bad news. as the sussex prince harry and meghan markle's chief of staff, josh kettler, has quit after just three months in the role. >> this is just on the eve of their big public tour of columbia, so let's talk to gb news royal correspondent cameron walker. careless. what is the oscar wilde quote? oh no, it's the, the, yesterday's oscar wilde about. yes. careless. when you lose one. yeah. two. >> it looks deliberate or deliberate, isn't it? >> i mean, they go through a lot of stuff. cameron. >> yes, they seem to have a bit of a reputation for not being able to retain staff. i think that's fair to say. i think the timing actually, of josh kettler's exit is also not ideal for them, because they do have very shortly an upcoming visit to columbia. josh kettler was hired in may as the guy who was going to guide prince harry through the next phase of his life. appointed in may, he came to london with prince harry for

the invictus games 10th anniversary at saint paul's cathedral. he also went to nigeria with harry and meghan , nigeria with harry and meghan, but three months on, he has now quit . now people magazine are quit. now people magazine are reporting as well as the press association, that this was by mutual agreement and he wasn't the right fit and he was only ever hired on a trial basis. but even if that was the case, and it was by mutual agreement, you'd think, oh, if you've got a big tour coming up, that's going to put the world spotlight on you, maybe your top chief of staff shouldn't quit just before that happens, because it is going to now distract from the good work they want to do out there. and this is at least 18 with nine, i think it's nine having left since they moved to california. >> i mean, it's starting to look like there is something, well, quite difficult with them to work with. >> and we shouldn't forget. cameron knows more about this. there was a report done by lawyers , which was commissioned lawyers, which was commissioned by buckingham palace into allegations that meghan had bullied her staff. it's come out never made public. >> yeah well it's that reports. yes. has not been made public

was made public was an email their former communications secretary jason knauf sent to prince william's private secretary in 2018, voicing his concerns that meghan was allegedly bullying staff. now meghan has always denied and her lawyers have always denied those allegations against her. but of course, that is still kind of bubbung course, that is still kind of bubbling under the surface. those allegations on the other hand, however, there have been instances where harry and meghan's staff member has departed by mutual agreement and both sides have publicly praised each other and wished each other well for the future. so not every. i think it's fair to say that not every staff member that's left their service has left badly, if that makes sense. they have. there have been some good instances, but as you say, andrew, we're getting close to 20 members of staff since 2018 who have left their service. some of them may well have left because they've been given better offers, more money, perhaps because if you work for somebody like prince harry and meghan markle, your profile increases. therefore, perhaps you're more employable elsewhere. on the other hand, they might be struggling to bnng

they might be struggling to bring harry and meghan forward to the new direction because they're no longer working members of the royal family. they lost their deal with spotify . netflix is a little bit spotify. netflix is a little bit up in the air as to what their next project is going to be. reportedly, there's stuff in development we haven't seen that happen yet, and meghan also reportedly is struggling to find a chief executive for her new lifestyle brand, american riviera. that's the orchard brand. yeah. >> strawberry jam. yeah. >> strawberry jam. yeah. >> so i was told by a source very close to meghan that, 50 or so jars were sent out to her close friends. she got a number of which were, well, a number of which were influencers. i was going to add, andrew. so to them post on their instagram stories. but i'm and the websites from when i last looked is still kind of in development and there's more to come. but of course you need somebody to run it. and i don't think meghan perhaps can run it all by herself. >> right. interesting well, and of course there'll be more to report when they go to columbia. which potential vacancy for you, mr pierce? i don't think they'd employ me now, up next, we're crossing over to dover to see how the prime minister's getting on with smashing those criminal gangs. do you remember? they're going to stop the gangs. don't miss it. this is britain's

go into the afternoon though, but with the bright sunny spells we could see some heavy, maybe even thundery showers developing later. elsewhere. plenty of dry , later. elsewhere. plenty of dry, bright sunny weather around and temperatures around average for the time of year. so mid 20s at best buy by that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb. >> excuse me.

take medication over a period of two years until 2022, eight different risk assessments were found to have downplayed some of those problems. the cqc, cqc said that calocane records made it clear that he was acutely unwell and it included those symptoms of psychosis. calocane was sentenced to an indefinite hospital order and is now residing at ashworth high security hospital in merseyside. after killing those three people, barnaby webber and grace o'malley—kumar, 219 year old students who were on their way home from a night out here in nottingham, as well as ian coates, a 65 year old caretaker who was on his way to work. now this happened a little over a year ago, in june 2023. the families reacting today have said that the medics and doctors that cared for valdo calocane, who was experiencing symptoms of

psychosis and schizophrenia when he conducted that knife attack, have blood on their hands and they've now said that after a meeting with wes streeting, the health secretary and the attorney general , that it has attorney general, that it has been confirmed to them that there will be a review into a pubuc there will be a review into a public inquiry into what happenedin public inquiry into what happened in june last year. now it is the nottinghamshire healthcare foundation trust, which was ultimately caring for valdo calocane and in a statement they said that we acknowledge that and accept the conclusions of this report and have significantly improved processes and standards since the review was carried out. we hear as well that sir keir starmer, the prime minister, has committed to that, to that review to, but the family say that they want it to be a statutory public inquiry so that people can be compelled to come and speak before the inquiry. >> all right. that's our east midlands reporter, will hollis.

thanks. so much for that, >> it's just honestly, you just can't you can't let those poor families just a catalogue of errors. >> they've their loved ones should still be with them. >> of course they should. they really should. and you know what? no one is being named and shamed in this. a catalogue of errors. and it's like, okay, we're going to look into it. we'll do something. but as you pointed out earlier, andrew, this has been going on for decades, 30 years ago. >> and that guy was stabbed to death on the tube, a london underground station, wasn't it? >> yeah, yeah, yeah, by a schizophrenic who'd been pushed from pillar to post for five years. and we're still here where we are now. yeah. it's just it's heartbreaking, where we are now. yeah. it's just it's heartbreaking , this just it's heartbreaking, this isn't going to cheer you up much ehhen isn't going to cheer you up much either, 5000 small boat migrants have crossed the channel since a labour came into power. that's as border force experts warn. sir keir starmer's response to a promise to smash the gangs is, well, what we call a near impossible task. joining us now is gb news home and security editor mark white, who's down in

dover looking very gorgeous. doven dover looking very gorgeous. dover. not you, mark, obviously . dover. not you, mark, obviously. >> well, indeed, dover is beautiful today, as you say. not like me, but as far as labour is concerned, they were warned repeatedly in the run up to the election that there would be no quick and easy solution to ending the small boat crisis. their plan, of course, is to smash the gangs, but the former head of border force, a man with a great deal of knowledge , tony a great deal of knowledge, tony smith, has been telling me that really , in order to do that, you really, in order to do that, you need intergovernmental cooperation, deep cooperation across numerous countries, because this is an international crisis and it's all very well and good. giving border force the new border security command, additional powers in the westminster parliament. but if they can't enact those powers overseas, then it's clearly going to be difficult. and there

has been no slowdown in the number of small boats coming across the english channel. as you know, since labour got into power , reaching, of course, that power, reaching, of course, that 5000 milestone as we are . and 5000 milestone as we are. and where a lot of the boats that the seas in the english channel are deposited. here's my report at a compound on the outskirts of dover, a sobering illustration of the scale of the task facing the new labour government in their efforts to end the channel migrant crisis. row after row of small boats, hundreds of them, many now deflated and rolled up as we filmed, contractors dropped off more dinghies , the latest to more dinghies, the latest to have made the illegal crossing into uk waters. this is what rishi sunak sir keir starmer's focus is on going after the

people smugglers, who've now sent thousands more migrants across the channel. since labour came to power. but the former head of border force says tackling international criminal gangs will be extremely difficult without full cooperation from many other governments. >> these are very, very big. ask i think, to expect the uk to be able to smash the gangs. if you like , without some form of like, without some form of international collaboration where powers can be used by other countries on their jurisdictions to bring people to justice to and prevent people and goods crossing borders, etc. rather than the uk being able to do this on their own. >> tony smith says there is no indication so far that the appetite of the smugglers and their customers has been in any way diminished since labour came to power . to power. >> this is a hugely lucrative business. there is an unending supply of migrants pervading the

eu border, many of whom are in various member states very keen to get across to the uk, who are prepared to mortgage their lives effectively to get a place on a very dangerous vessel to get themselves into uk territorial waters. that narrative still exists, i think across europe and beyond . so the pull factor and beyond. so the pull factor is very much there for now. >> at least. the migrant boats will continue to stack up here, as even the government acknowledges it will take some time for its new approach to impact the organised criminal gangs making millions from their trade in human misery. mark white gb news >> that's an awful lot of boats there , isn't it? there, isn't it? >> it's a big and it'd be a big political problem for this government. and i was pretty sure once the riots died away last week, thank god they did. the next focus would be the small boats. it's august. >> it's going to. >> it's going to. >> it's going to. >> it was so important to weather and they're going to be

pounng weather and they're going to be pouring across the channel and they are now up next. >> shocking reports about fatal heat waves sweeping across europe. not to britain so far. we hope this is britain's newsroom on gb news

>> holy roller . >> holy roller. >> holy roller. >> so it is. the time is now. 1020 britain's newsroom live across the uk andrew pierce dawn neesom. the panel is back piers pottinger and nigel nelson, i'm just jaw dropped slightly there now do you told me you're supporting these wretched gps taking part in the first industrial action for 60 years, i thought the advent of your wonderful new labour government and wes streeting the health secretary was going to change everything. >> the reason is it's not a strike. it's industrial action. what's the difference? well, this will be a work to rule , this will be a work to rule, right? so give me an example. >> strike in my book. >> strike in my book. >> well , >> strike in my book. >> well, gert's >> strike in my book. >> well , gert's royals not a

>> well, gert's royals not a strike. >> well, they're going to go from 50 appointments a day, if you're lucky to see a gp to down potentially 25. >> that's right. now, that's the one thing i think is actually a real positive positive, gp's shouldn't be seeing 50 or 60 patients a day. it's far too many . so for that, if they saw many. so for that, if they saw 25, which is actually the limit that they're meant to see, if you thought if they saw 25 they could give them a bit longer, they wouldn't be exhausted at they wouldn't be exhausted at the end of the day. and mistakes might be made. >> seeing nigel, including telephone consultations or is it like literally face to face? >> well, as far as i know, it's face to face. i mean, it's telephone consultations or zoom as well. >> that was the yeah , i mean, i >> that was the yeah, i mean, i didn't know that, but i mean, whatever it is that a gp should be able to give time to a patient, make sure to try and stop mistakes being made and to actually see if they can do something to really help that patient. >> and if you keep the number of people down that would that

would help. so 25 gp in some form appears. >> the other 25 don't. and nigel nelson thinks that's progress. >> well of course i mean dna is a really disgraceful organisation. >> it is very highly political, extremely left wing. yeah, gp's on the whole are very well paid. they have fabulous pensions . they have fabulous pensions. yeah, and, i don't believe for one minute they'll see anyone for any longer because they're seeing less patients, but the, my gp in my surgery tells me that they are very loath to follow the bma's instructions, and they detest the way the bma is a political organisation that is a political organisation that is actually doing nothing to help the national health service. and they and they, they feel they are reasonably paid for doing a very valuable job. and i honestly think the bma should start focusing on how

they could improve , help improve they could improve, help improve they could improve, help improve the nhs and work with the nhs and the government instead of doing what. of course, all the trade unions are now doing with a labour government in just simply going for more and more money, like the ludicrous 22% pay money, like the ludicrous 22% pay rise to junior doctors, that's not going to help the national health service. >> well, if it keeps them working, i mean, the doctors, they work anyway, the doctors were going on strike. so one of the things about strike action is that it makes them it makes things worse if you can, if you can solve that and stop those strikes happening, it's a much more cost effective. and be especially with the with the nhs. that's the way to make sure waiting lists comes down. >> this is just giving in to trade union blackmail. that's all it is. and of course the trade unions who pay the labor party pay mps. absolutely outrageously that this is even allowed in modern society for them to run a basically

glorified protection racket . glorified protection racket. it's absurd. and the bma is one of the worst examples of trade union policy. >> and we saw the 22% pay rise agreed with the junior doctors. nigel and then the bma leader said, yeah, this time next year we'll be ready to consider strike action against. well, i mean they've got it in their nostrils now. strike action haven't they? they've got it in their blood. it's in their dna. >> the 22% is over is over two years. so we won't be having a strike between over the next two years. what they would look at is what they would do after that. they still have this claim that. they still have this claim that they they want 35%. and based on the fact that is the money they have lost over the last 20 years, allegedly. well i mean, that is true. i mean, the pay mean, that is true. i mean, the pay in real terms has gone down. so they're right about that . i so they're right about that. i don't agree with the 35%. i mean, 35% is ridiculous. but 22% may not be if you actually divide that over a two year period. we'll wait for the nurses to come in when they've already indicated they want

some. >> that's next. then we'll have the rail workers. then we'll have everyone else doing it. the civil servants, you know, working from home, refusing to go into the office. all these wonderful things are coming at us. and rachel reeves and keir starmer solve it by throwing money at everyone. so when the budget comes in the autumn and my goodness me, what a dreadful autumn we're all going to have, we are all going to get clobbered for this absurd, spending spree that rachel reeves has embarked upon. well, if at the behest of the trade union, 5.5. 5% for public sector workers is too much, what is the figure that you would like to have given them ? i don't know have given them? i don't know the answer to that. well, inflation is 2%. >> why not? what's inflation? >> why not? what's inflation? >> but it's certainly you're she's giving way above what anyone else would do because she's at the behest of her paymasters, the trade union. and she's simply being manipulated by the likes of mick lynch and

his mob, 22% for the junior doctors at a time. >> they're saying to 10 million pensioners, you cannot have your £200 winter fuel allowance. there could be a cold winter this year. yeah. and you know, a lot of those pensioners who won't get that £200 don't have very much money at all and will struggle. and you've had organisations like age uk saying people will be choosing between heating and eating this year under a labour government. five weeks old. they're saying that all true. >> i was surprised she did that and probably the best way of doing it would have been to roll in the 200 or £300 into the into the pension itself. so you could tax it. that would give you a return from the richer pensioners without penalising the poorer ones. she needed that extra money. i mean, whether you believe in the black hole that existed in the they suddenly discovered the black. yeah. well, whether you believe that or not, but that's the reason for it. so while i was surprised that she did it, i understand the point of it. she needed the £1] the point of it. she needed the

£1.7 billion. >> the way the way rachel reeves is going, we'll have the mfa, imf rather coming in to rescue the country sooner than they had to do under the denis healey. >> again, while we're on the subject of weather, let's talk about the killer heatwave from hell . evidently, that hot hell. evidently, that hot weather inflamed by carbon pollution has killed nearly 50,000 people in europe. last year. 50,000 people in europe. last year . has it 50,000 people in europe. last year. has it this one, according to this story in the guardian. >> well, there you are. who's the guardian? >> where did the 50,000 figure come from? >> study. if you look in further in the article, it's a study in something called natural medicine or something like that, by some, left wing, campaign climate campaigner who has come up with these figures, as dawn said, where do these figures come from? are they real? it's this is a complete scaremongering nonsense story. >> yeah. okay. so do we accept that europe has, has heated up

twice the global average? i mean , twice the global average? i mean, there's a figure that that seems to be uncontested , that 2023 was to be uncontested, that 2023 was the hottest year on record. do we accept there's something going on out there where where the climate is actually changing? >> i think the climate's changing. i'm not aware. i've not read any evidence that 50,000 people have died because of a heatwave last year. i don't you think it would have made the headlines? >> climate's changed since the beginning of time. i mean, this year we've had a colder year than last year. no one's actually focusing on that. so very wet summer and a very good carbon pollution by the way. >> so this is actually people, people's, lungs being affected. so but all of which is caused by climate change. and so we go back to whether or not that we try and hit net zero by 2050. yes, by 2050. yeah, and as far as i can see, yes, yes, it's imperative that we do when these things keep happening. i mean, you see, it with your own eyes.

you can see the i know climate and weather are different, but you can see how the weather is changing . yes. changing. yes. >> well, i've used my umbrella this year much more than last yean this year much more than last year, so maybe climate is changing, but going back a bit, well, it causes floods too. of course it is changing. i mean , course it is changing. i mean, you know, climate changes . you know, climate changes. that's a fact. i accept that . that's a fact. i accept that. >> and do you accept it's man made. it's predominantly man made. it's predominantly man made of it. >> no, not predominantly man made, not all of it. >> therefore we can do something about it. >> i mean, this study, which is very hard to get to the bottom of because typically in the guardian it's so badly written, the article you can't actually figure out where this, this information is coming from. >> we've got time for one more squeeze and one more story, sorry, bev. you're not bev. >> that's trouble. you are. that's trouble. whoever you are, that's trouble. sorry jul. far, far. >> lady in yellow. worse. >> lady in yellow. worse. >> right. thank you very much. what do you want to go to, boys? iran. quickly. >> yeah. quickly. iran. let's do

iran very quickly, nigel. very quickly. i mean , keir starmer quickly. i mean, keir starmer spoke to the iranian president last night. first time a prime minister has done that since bofis minister has done that since boris johnson did it over nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe question , obviously, is does question, obviously, is does that make any difference? it's looking very like iran is going to launch an attack on israel. >> i mean , you hear what, >> i mean, you hear what, because downing street put out what starmer said, but we don't hear what the iranian president said, which is probably yeah, yeah, yeah , yeah. yeah, yeah, yeah. >> really worried about that bang. >> you know, i think that's probably right, >> gentlemen thank you as ever. nigel nelson piers pottinger, don't you love them ? time now don't you love them? time now for your latest headlines from sophia wenzler. >> andrew. thank you . it's 1131. >> andrew. thank you. it's1131. i'm sophia wenzler in the gb newsroom. the families of the three nottingham stabbing victims have criticised the mental health services who dealt with killer valdo calocane,

saying they have blood on their hands. that's after a new review found an nhs trust played down kalakani's risk to the public by potentially omitting key details, including his symptoms of psychosis. calocane, who has paranoid schizophrenia, fatally stabbed 19 year old students barnaby webber and grace o'malley—kumar before killing 65 year old caretaker ian coates in june 2023. a man has been charged after an 11 year old girl was stabbed in leicester square. the met police have confirmed 32 year old johann penacho, of no fixed address , penacho, of no fixed address, had been charged with attempted murder and possession of a bladed article. it was initially thought that the girl's mother had also been hurt. however, it was later confirmed that blood from her daughter's injuries had been mistaken for injuries of her own . donald trump has called her own. donald trump has called joe biden's decision to quit the presidential race a coup. during a talk with tech billionaire

elon musk, the interview finally got underway on x, with more than 1.3 million people tuning in after a delay, which musk blamed on a cyber attack. trump confirmed he will return to butler in pennsylvania in october after surviving an assassination attempt. there and art lovers were surprised at london zoo this morning as the latest banksy artwork in nine days has been unveiled. the gorilla is the ninth animal themed piece. the elusive street artist has claimed. it follows sunday's artwork of piranha on a police sentry box, which has now been removed from near london's old bailey court to preserve it. those are the latest gb news headunes those are the latest gb news headlines for now, i'm sophia wenzler 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 .

be at 1 am. and i'd be asleep by half one, and it would all be fine. of course, it didn't start until 144. after all of the tech problems, and then listening to elon musk and donald trump doesn't tend to be the most relaxing thing in the world. no, no, no. and so there i was, sort of trying to fall asleep just with it on in the background. and i was completely unable to. it got to 3 am. and i was like, oh, turn it off. >> i was asleep like that for three hours. do you? yeah i've had a red bull. >> do you think he was speaking with some peculiar lisp? >> i don't actually, i think he's always sounded like this. and he. i think because i remember all of these jokes and memes in 2016 about how camp donald trump sounds. i think he's always sounded theatrical. and there were all these comedians sort of putting on this . yeah, absolutely. so this. yeah, absolutely. so i think he's always had a bit of a bit of a twinge like that to his voice. there seems to be a bit of a media consensus that he was slurring. >> yeah, as you say, he had a list. it was rambling. >> he was slurring. but it was a

long old chap, wasn't it? two hours too long. >> oh goodness me. yeah elon musk a lot of questions, a lot of conversation , a job. but you of conversation, a job. but you know what else we want to talk about today? and i'm sure you've covered this to an extent. this bbc panorama into, well, essentially the family of valdo calocane, who of course, brutally murdered three people only. >> no, he didn't murder them. sorry. not allowed to say it. we're not allowed to say he murdered isn't extraordinary manslaughter? >> yes, i remember at the time it was very difficult to avoid using the word murder. i want to use the word murder. >> i mean, to anyone looking with their eyes. this man murdered three people. yeah, but the law says no, he didn't. i know it was manslaughter. >> and yet. and yet he was, tried for attempted murder for driving the van into the three people. how did that make sense? yes. does it make sense at all? >> but this bbc panorama, we're wondering whether it gave a bit of a sympathetic airing of the family. and we're going to be speaking to emma webber, who of course, is one of the mothers of is a mother of one of the

victims, barnaby webber. to ask her what she makes of it all, because there's a lot about how they never got in touch until only a week or so ago, and how they weren't involved in this documentary at all, and that they , you know, perhaps she does they, you know, perhaps she does not have sympathy. >> and there was an extraordinary statement by the mother or the brother of calocane saying , how do you feel calocane saying, how do you feel about now? we feel we've got him back. >> how does that feel to the victim's family, painting this killer as the victim? >> yeah, i, i can't believe we've got him back . we've got him back. >> i cut me, my blood ran cold. >> i cut me, my blood ran cold. >> it's . >> i cut me, my blood ran cold. >> it's. i've >> i cut me, my blood ran cold. >> it's . i've been >> i cut me, my blood ran cold. >> it's. i've been reading about what happened in 1978. here we go with the murder of harvey milk. yeah. and the mayor of san francisco. yeah. the guy that that did it got manslaughter rather than murder with this very spurious defence. anyway, california, the next year abolished that, did , the ability abolished that, did, the ability to, to sort of commute a

sentence on the grounds of mental health because the whole state was so outraged by that. i wonder if we need a similar conversation all right. >> well, all that and more at midday with tom and emily. up next, we'll be speaking to the owner of a seaside sandwich shop who's introduced a £1 seagull insurance because they've been nicking his customers toasties. this is britain's newsroom on .

gb news. >> hello. welcome back. it's 1141 nearly. this is britain's newsroom on gb news with him, andrew pierce and me. dawn neesom . now let's talk killer neesom. now let's talk killer seagulls from hell, shall we? the menace of summer in our seaside towns. and not just seaside towns. and not just seaside towns. and not just seaside towns. no, actually, it's in our cities, everywhere. >> in many areas, there's been a rise in cases of seagull muggings, really. and we're deadly serious here. so our reporter, anna riley has been to

scarborough, and she sends us this report . this report. >> seagulls are a staple of the seaside . and their squawking is seaside. and their squawking is the soundtrack of the british coast. summer time is their nesting season, which comes with an increase in noise, excrement and muggings from the birds in scarborough , north yorkshire. scarborough, north yorkshire. councils gull champion says they authority is tackling these issues . issues. >> we are seeking to fight back against the seagull menace that is gripping our coastal communities. the issues that we've seen down on the seafront, we're now seeing more and more in the town centre. we have a programme of street cleansing works, try and keep our streets as clean as we possibly can. we have a gull proofing scheme so businesses, local people can 6my businesses, local people can apply for grants up to £2,000 to try and keep gulls away from their properties. we're also strongly advising the public not to feed the birds , not to drop to feed the birds, not to drop litter. clearly fish and chips

are not part of a seagulls natural diet. the spate of seagull muggings and the filth they create has caused a drop in business for cafe italia. >> it's a mess. it's a health hazard and it's like they've forgotten square holidaymakers are complaining it's quieter for business. nobody will sit outside and they really need to do something about the seagulls in scarborough town centre , in scarborough town centre, people shared their experiences with the seagulls. >> i cannot stand them. they're noisy, they're messy. they make your ice cream, they nick your chips, don't like them at all. >> the seagulls stole from my sausage roll out of my little sister's hand and bit her. yeah, right here she was holding a sausage roll and then it just swooped down and bit her and tookit swooped down and bit her and took it away . yeah, and it took it away. yeah, and it nipped me right here. >> they're okay in their place, but when they're in the wrong place, there really are

problems. >> they've got a really good character and they're funny and they're pretty. if you paint them , you can see all the them, you can see all the different colours on them. yeah, i love them. well i had a nice new ice cream and i'm holding it and it just came. >> it was about this close to my face, came right down, took the entire thing and swooped off. i guess! entire thing and swooped off. i guess i was lucky it didn't hit me. you can see the droppings everywhere. >> it's near some shops. you know, it's. it's a bit, you've just got to swerve around it in case one comes along. >> like them or loathe them, seagulls are protected as their colonies are rapidly declining. the advice is not to feed them and to guard your goodies from the opportunistic birds. anna riley gb news. >> well, let's talk to someone who's taken. had to take pretty practical steps to avert this this menace of these seagulls. that's the owner of the cheesy toast shack in saint andrews,

kate carter , who's been impacted kate carter, who's been impacted by them rather too often. kate. good morning to you. tell us what you've done because you may be setting a trend here, >> so we were basically getting so many seagull attacks down at the beach , and we're a small the beach, and we're a small independent family run business. and so we've got a very big ethos on good vibes and all this kind of thing. and we'd always replace the toasties if they got stolen, but they became increasingly a current that we just were starting to think about ways that we could protect both us as a business and the customer. so we've decided to introduce this £1 seagull insurance, which the customer optionally pays. it's not like a you have to pay it, it's just an optional fee. and that ensures you that you can get your family to replace, that £1 rather than having to pay the full price. again because it must be getting to the point for you then, kate, where you've had to replace so many sandwiches or ice creams or whatever the food is they've pinched. >> so that's whacking into your margins .

margins. >> yes. yes, definitely. so we're having to replace the maximum attack we've had, like the record is 30 in 1 day, and as i say, we're, we're having to replace those. and so , so i'm replace those. and so, so i'm just going to have to move away for one second. sorry. i've got my toddler in the car and she keeps screaming at me. sorry. i'm just it's summer holidays and she knows to be quiet, but she's trying to wind me up, so yeah. so it's eating into our margins at such a rate that, we're just having to introduce this to in to order stop eating into our profits at such a rate. we're we're also like, as i say, quite a good ethos of the business and stuff. and we do always say at the end of each yean always say at the end of each year, if we're in a profit as a company, then we will give back to community and feed back into community. so this isn't some money grabbing scheme. this is something that can protect the business. and you know, last year we sponsored two children's football teams and they got all their stress and all of that. so we're just trying to keep ourselves afloat, but also kind of being understanding to the customer as well. so they're not

having to pay full whack again. >> and kate, are people happy to pay >> and kate, are people happy to pay or most people are happy to pay pay or most people are happy to pay the pound or whatever it is, insurance . insurance. >> yeah, yeah. all the feedback feedback's been pretty positive, actually. it's just, a couple of negative comments and things like that, but i don't really see how it can be negative because it's, it's, it's asking you to just pay £1 and then you'll be able to get it. you know, the exactly the same time as instead of paying full whack. but yeah, everyone's kind of received it really well. and i do kind of listening to other businesses. it does sound like other ones are kind of going to follow suit and be the same kind of thing, which i think is a really good idea. >> i think just, just very quickly, kate, how do they prove that they've had their their sandwich taken by seagull, though? anyone swinging the lead a bit here, >> yeah. so that's the thing. obviously you might get people that are going to say that they've, had it happen to them. they haven't. and they're the ones that aren't the nicest people. i guess. like, we kind of always work on good buys. karma. if people are going to be like that, then i've just

something bad probably happened to them down the line. but maybe if it does get to that point, we'll have to introduce a token system or something like that is true. >> all right kate. >> all right kate. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> kate kate carter, who's the owner of the cheesy toast shack in saint andrews in saint andrews. >> i'm not going to go there. i'm going to pay for my insurance. >> yeah, absolutely. you know, i would as well. right up next, we've got a spooky story for you, a magazine that exposes fake mediums is on the brink of going bust. this is britain's newsroom on gb news. dan azeez depher

>> now, like many magazines and newspapers, psychic news , which newspapers, psychic news, which has been around since 1932, is fighting for survival. did i say the editor, tony orson, joins us now . tony, we're going to avoid now. tony, we're going to avoid all sorts of gags about. you should have seen it coming. but what is what is the problem? is this because fewer people are

believing in psychics and mediums, or is it simply people have just got out of the habit of buying newspapers ? of buying newspapers? >> yeah, there are three very, very big news. first of all, covid as we know that came to the uk in 2020. covid as we know that came to the uk in 2020 . and in england the uk in 2020. and in england we had two lockdowns in that year. we had two lockdowns in that year . church congregations year. church congregations collapsed that was the problem. then we had a severe cost of living crisis, which is still ongoing, and if people are having to watch their money, they will cut back on non—essentials or luxuries going out, meals out, buying magazines, buying newspapers . magazines, buying newspapers. and that has hit us very bad . and that has hit us very bad. the third point is that these days, we live in an online world and that you can go to the internet for instant answers to absolutely everything. and a lot of people don't always have patience to sit down and read a

book or a magazine from cover to coven book or a magazine from cover to cover. so they're the three reasons that we find ourselves in something of a bump in the road financially . road financially. >> and so are you a weekly publication, tony, or no, we're monthly. >> monthly , tony. >> monthly, tony. >> monthly, tony. >> in difficult times, people turn to spiritualism and psychic phenomena for guidance, and we are going through troubled times. have you found interest in the subjects increasing even though magazine sales are going down? >> well , first of all, mediums >> well, first of all, mediums don't give guidance . don't give guidance. >> the role of a medium is to provide evidence of life after death. end of story, a yougov poll i think in 2011 showed that about a quarter of britons had consulted the medium. i think spiritualism is always popular, but you have to realise it's a recognised religion and surveys

always show that a large proportion of people do believe in life after death or spiritual healing, or ghosts or apparitions . there's always apparitions. there's always a long lasting interest . long lasting interest. >> we've run out of time, tony. >> we've run out of time, tony. >> we'd like to have a longer conversation with you. we might get you back on. that's tony lawson. he's the editor of psychic news. we've been going since 1932. it's got to keep going. >> yeah. no, absolutely. it's a great turn. yeah. >> my sister was a medium, you know, not surprised. >> not surprised. >> not surprised. >> that's it from britain's newsroom. we'll be back tomorrow . newsroom. we'll be back tomorrow. dawn will be back with me tomorrow. two up next though. good afternoon britain with tom and emily. we'll see you tomorrow. >> see you tomorrow. >> see you tomorrow. >> yes. coming up a romanian citizen, 32 year old man has now been charged with stabbing a girl eight times. this relates to the incident yesterday in leicester square. will be live at westminster magistrates court >> and the bbc is under fire for what's being called a sympathetic portrait of the nottingham killer. valdo calocane. we'll have the very

latest and speak to one of the one of the mothers of the real victims . victims. >> looks like things are heating up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news >> this morning here's your latest met office weather update for gb news. it's not going to be as hot as yesterday, but nonetheless some hot, sunny weather across eastern parts today. however, elsewhere things are going to be a bit fresher as we have a band of rain pushing in and that's going to be bringing some wet weather to most of that. rain has now cleared away from northern ireland, with just a few showery outbreaks following him behind. but across scotland, northern england, wales and the southwest, it is going to turn cloudy and wet as we go into the afternoon ahead of the front towards central eastern parts of england. it's staying sunny and with that pretty hot with temperatures getting into the high 20s. so not as high as it was yesterday. as we head towards this evening, that front will have started to clear away across parts of scotland, but

nonetheless some showery outbreaks of rain following in behind. and there will be some strong winds, particularly out towards the west. some coastal gales , perhaps for the hebrides, gales, perhaps for the hebrides, along with that showery rain for northern ireland. it's a mostly fine end to the day. some sunny spells, 1 or 2 showers, perhaps a cloudier story across much of northern england as that front continues to make its way southeastwards. that rain then spreading across wales into the midlands and many parts of southwest england, but all the time across the east and southeast , it time across the east and southeast, it is time across the east and southeast , it is staying largely southeast, it is staying largely dry. some clear skies to end the night here, but overnight we are going to see the cloud building as that front gradually makes its way towards the southeast. and here we could have some heavy bursts of rain around as we go through the early hours of tomorrow morning. further towards the north—west. some clearer skies behind that front and fresher air. and so here temperatures quite on the low side dropping into single figures away from the towns and cities through tomorrow morning. yes some further heavy rain, likely across parts of central, east and southeastern england. for a time. the cloud, the rain
