outside barnsley magistrates court. thank you anna. in other news, the prime minister says a news, the prime minister says a new uk germany treaty will be part of a wider reset with europe . sir keir starmer is in europe. sir keir starmer is in germany to launch negotiations on a new bilateral treaty, which hopes to boost business and increase joint action on illegal migration. speaking during a joint news conference with german chancellor olaf scholz in berlin, he described it as a moment of opportunity to deepen links between uk and germany. >> this treaty is part of a wider reset grounded in a new spirit of cooperation with our shared understanding that this will be developed at pace and that we hope to have agreed it by the end of the year. a britain reconnected , resetting britain reconnected, resetting our relationship , rediscovering our relationship, rediscovering our relationship, rediscovering our common interests , delivering our common interests, delivering for working people. britain and germany already have an

incredible relationship. two great countries brought closer together than ever before. the strongest strategic partners in europe and on the world stage . europe and on the world stage. >> meanwhile, back home, the chancellor has addressed sir keir starmer's warning that the autumn budget will be painful. speaking today in scotland, rachel reeves defended the government's decision on winter fuel payments. >> the truth is that these are not decisions that i wanted to make, but these are decisions we have to make given the inheritance that we face from the conservative government. and there will be more difficult decisions to come in the budget later this year. but the stark reality after the mess that the previous conservative government have left this labour government to inherit it means difficult decisions. but without difficult decisions. but without difficult decisions we are going to face serious problems with our public finances. i will not take the risks that the conservatives have taken previously that would put our economy in danger.

>> shadow leader of the house of commons, chris philp, has called for more spaces in prisons. new figures released yesterday show there are just 100 spaces left in male prisons across england and wales. that's according to the ministry of justice. it comes after the activation of early dawn, where defendants in active court cases are kept in police cells until standard prison spaces open up . now, with prison spaces open up. now, with hundreds more arrests from riots and notting hill carnival disorder over recent days and weeks. there are concerns prisons may run out of capacity dunng prisons may run out of capacity during last year. >> every week there are about 100 additional net. additional prison places were created by the previous justice secretary, alex chalk , so they were alex chalk, so they were bringing on 100 more places each week than were being retired or withdrawn for refurbishment. so i think the solution to this is more prison places. and in the very short term, these rapid deployment cells are dcs are what i would like to be see being used .

being used. >> well, this comes as cleveland police say an 11 year old child has been arrested over disorder in middlesbrough during the riots. cleveland police said officers had detained a further 14 people in connection with the disorder on the 4th of august. sir keir starmer has condemned the violent scene at notting hill carnival, which left 61 police officers injured. the prime minister says i was very clear about the 2011 riots, which had a different genesis to the recent riots, adding i will condemn anyone using violence. while a man has been charged with attempted murder over the stabbing of a mother at carnival. 20 year old shakeel taibu has appeared in court today charged with the attempted murder of 32 year old sher maximum, and we now know that she's in a coma after losing 20l of blood. and she's in a life threatening condition. two other men have been charged in relation to the same incident. the three men are brothers . in the three men are brothers. in other news, gb news can

exclusively reveal that more than 20,000 migrants have crossed the english channel illegally so far this year. that milestone was reached this morning as hundreds more made the journey in small boats from france. it's after 526 people arrived illegally in the uk waters and eight dinghies yesterday . and a new contempt of yesterday. and a new contempt of court application has been lodged against tommy robinson over alleged breaches of a high court order from 2021, according to the attorney general's office. law officers allege that mr robinson breached an injunction barring him from repeating libellous allegations through six actions between june and july this year. those are the latest gb news headlines. for now, i'm tatiana sanchez. more from me in half an hour. >> for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code, or go to gbnews.com

forward slash alerts . forward slash alerts. >> thank you tatiana. now we've got a cracking show. let's get stuck in. and let's start with this. sir keir starmer has been in berlin today as he seeks an ambitious new treaty with germany, something he describes as a once in a generation chance to deliver for working people . to deliver for working people. now, we heard that phrase before in the referendum, in the build up to it, and the meeting is also part of a wider push to reset relations with europe after brexit. appearing at a press conference alongside the german chancellor, the prime minister said the new agreement between britain and germany on issues ranging from defence, climate change of course and artificial intelligence. he also added that both sides hope to conclude some kind of new treaty by the end of the year. but first, let's hear what former president of the european council donald tusk, said back

in 2018. >> media reports are correct. i am afraid that the uk position today is based on pure illusion . today is based on pure illusion. it looks like the cake philosophy is still alive . from philosophy is still alive. from the very start, it has been a key principle of the eu 27 that there can be no cherry picking and no single market a la carte . and no single market a la carte. >> i love the smell of hypocrisy in the morning, the afternoon, especially coming out of brussels. no cherry picking, no a la carte menu until sir keir starmer goes in. he wants extra cherries on his black forest gateau , doesn't he? in berlin. gateau, doesn't he? in berlin. let's discuss this now. in our studio with our gb news political correspondent, katherine forster. catherine, a lot of people are seeing this. dress it up. how you like. they are seeing it as part of keir starmer's manoeuvres to rejoin the european union. don't forget

he campaigned to for the people's vote to cancel brexit, as did his foreign secretary david lammy, as did his home secretary , yvette cooper. they secretary, yvette cooper. they won't give us a second referendum. they'd be mad to do that. referendum. they'd be mad to do that . but is this referendum. they'd be mad to do that. but is this the first step in a range of piecemeal treaties where all roads lead to brussels? >> well, certainly that will be the worry of some people who voted leave, who will remember that when he was shadow brexit secretary, he sort of led the charge, didn't he, on a second referendum. but it seems that he's had a very big change of heart in that brexit was something that really nobody wanted to talk about. that much dunng wanted to talk about. that much during the election. he has said again, there will be no going back into the eu. there will be no going back into the single market. the customs union etc, he says. this is not about reversing brexit. this is simply about getting closer ties with our european neighbours that it's in our interests to do so.

and you can see a case for it because he says he wants to get growth, one of the ways you can do that is working more closely with europe. but of course, we're not in the eu. germany is in the eu. we can't do any sort of trade deal with germany. that's not possible . that's not possible. >> they're not allowed be cherry picking. >> indeed , indeed, but what they >> indeed, indeed, but what they can do , hearing an awful lot of can do, hearing an awful lot of warm words. aren't we? today? we're hearing very, very little in the way of detail. they're saying this treaty may be done by christmas, maybe a little bit longer. we don't know exactly what will be agreed, but what we can be sure of is that if we're given something, there will be something to give in return. so in terms of that detail, catherine, what do you think they are going to negotiate? >> what's on the table? freedom of movement? >> no, not freedom of movement . >> no, not freedom of movement. but, the eu germany particular

is very keen on having a sort of mobility scheme for the under 30s freedom of movement for the under 30s. i think it would be for about three years. but, the government said a week ago and again today there are he said today in, in the press conference, they don't have plans for a youth mobility scheme. of course you can say you don't have plans for something. and then circumstances change. because he did say during the general election campaign, that there were no plans for tax rises beyond which had been set out vat on school fees, etc. plans change, don't they ? so there's change, don't they? so there's no plans for that. now. let's see what happens down the line. i think one thing we can take a bit of heart from is yesterday in the rose garden. we didn't hear a mention at all, did we, about immigration? we heard a lot about that illegal immigration in the press conference today. obviously, germany have had that terrorist attack . that is a massive

attack. that is a massive problem for them. they take more asylum seekers than than most countries in europe. so that's a big deal. now the number one destination. >> and so that brings my next question. katherine, sorry to interject. how can we do a sensible deal on illegal migration with the nation in europe with the biggest problem on illegal migration? >> well , it is on illegal migration? >> well, it is a on illegal migration? >> well , it is a collective >> well, it is a collective problem. >> i mean, we have these people crossing on small boats. it's very visible. it's a huge problem that rishi sunak said he would solve and hasn't. it's not easy, but this is a europe wide problem now. okay, angela merkel said we can do this. back in 2016, they had 1.2 million people arrive, but they have realised now that this is problematic. a lot of the boats that are being used across the channel are coming from germany now. sir keir starmer said today that his belief is that they need to smash the gangs. he said they discussed and agreed a joint action plan . we understand

joint action plan. we understand that will include intelligence sharing. if you want to stop people getting to the channel, you've got to work with the countries in europe that they are coming through and that bnngs are coming through and that brings me on to my next point, the next pit stop on this pan—european love in is paris an audience with emmanuel macron, the elysee palace , indeed. so the elysee palace, indeed. so now sir keir starmer is heading off to paris. the opening of the paralympics tonight. tomorrow he will be having a meeting with emmanuel macron . worth saying, emmanuel macron. worth saying, of course he's right at the beginning of his premiership, olaf scholz is in quite a lot of trouble in germany. emmanuel macron is in huge trouble in france , but starmer has met france, but starmer has met these people before. they had these people before. they had the european political community in blenheim. they met at nato, etc. and you know, we've committed, what, 450 million to france to work on stopping people coming across. it's not

working brilliantly. i mean, they've stopped a lot of crossings, but still lots of people coming. but yeah, we shall see. lots of warm words , shall see. lots of warm words, lots, lots of mood music . but lots, lots of mood music. but what ultimately will change? well, we'll have to wait and see. >> superb katherine forster now joined by the former mep for in germany, elmar brok . elmar, germany, elmar brok. elmar, welcome to the show. so on the ground in germany, you have rather a lot of problems of your own. we just said the asylum seekers, the illegal immigration into germany is the highest of any european union member state, you have very porous borders. nobody seems to have got to gnps nobody seems to have got to grips with that. do the german pubuc grips with that. do the german public care about doing any form of deal with the united kingdom? >> i think on the migration question , not very much can be done. >> you're not a member of the schengen system. you are not a member of the european union. there will be border control between germany and britain for some time. it can be managed

technically better if there is a possibility to have a better exchange of students and others and young people, then it would be helpful. but most of it has to be discussed on a european level. but i think it's worthwhile to have that meetings because some challenges coming from brexit should be overcome in a common interest and here i think that keir starmer is going to berlin and paris is to check it out. what can be done? there is no negotiation of future membership of the united kingdom in europe . nobody thinks in in europe. nobody thinks in practical terms about that . but practical terms about that. but we can do something some questions better and we can do it more for example, in the exchange of security in the question of, defence policy, where we can do together, we are both members of nato, we are both members of nato, we are both have a common interest in ukraine and a bloody fight by

russia against ukraine. here, i think, to have a better cooperation in defence industry for example, would be a good development forward. after all that stress of the brexit and there were to come to a joint positions and joint cooperation between civilised nations with common interests . common interests. >> now, heybroek, you are a former member of the european parliament, as indeed was. i and donald tusk said very famously, there will be no cherry picking, there will be no cherry picking, there will be no cherry picking, there will be no special trade deals, there will be no deals allowed between the united kingdom and member states such as germany. do you think there's any chance of a deal being done on anything, on immigration, on trade, on data with germany, without the european union having a veto or saying absolutely no way. if germany gets that, everybody should get that. >> we can do agreements between two countries where the european

union has no competence , where union has no competence, where the european union has the legislative competence, the european, it has to be done with the european union. but there's a lot of fields which are not in european competence. and it's also very good to have a to have understandings between britain and germany, where also germany can be helpful to create a better, relationship for britain with britain and the european union. this i think it's a lot of questions where we can talk about it. i think when we talk to central american countries or asian countries, we should talk to our close neighbour. we cannot do something with will be cherry picking, especially in the internal market questions and especially in trade questions. it's the european competence is very clear. and i have also not a feeling that here it's discussed that germany and britain will have a bilateral treaty . bilateral treaty. >> yeah i admire your optimism,

elmar brok, but i believe any form of trade agreement with germany that disfavours any other member state that is cherry picking , that is an a la cherry picking, that is an a la carte menu. the kind of menu which donald tusk was set off off menu not on the menu. elmar brok trade agreements is not on the table. >> mr the chancellor has not discussed trade agreements . discussed trade agreements. freedom of movement, freedom of movement is also not possible on that question. it's within the system. we cannot have regular meetings, but we can make cooperation technically better. we can talk together what we should do. and i think you were neverin should do. and i think you were never in free movement even as a member of the eu. now it's free movement, not the agenda. now, as you are not in the european union anymore. >> good. good stuff. okay. thanks for joining >> good. good stuff. okay. thanks forjoining us. former mep elmar brok, always a pleasure to have you on the show. and that was my point. i don't think we'll be able to do any form of deal with germany or france without brussels having

its say or having its power of veto . i think this is all smoke veto. i think this is all smoke and mirrors now. i'll have lots more on that story throughout the show, and there's plenty of coverage on our website, gbnews.com and you've helped to make it the fastest growing national news website in the country. so thank you very much. now brace yourselves. it's time for the great british giveaway now and your chance to win £30,000 tax free cash. you've got to get your skates on though, as lines close at 5 pm. this friday. and here's all the details that you need. you could be our next big winner. >> it's the final week to see how you could win an incredible £30,000 in cash. it's extra cash that could really make a difference to your coming year. you could find yourself on that houday you could find yourself on that holiday you've always wanted to buy, that treat that always seemed out of reach, or just send some of those day to day financial stresses, packing . financial stresses, packing. time is ticking. get your entry in now for another chance to win £30,000 in tax free cash. text cash to six. 3232. text cost £2

welcome back. it's 325 on martin

daubney on gb news now. more than 20,000 migrants have crossed the english channel illegally so far this year alone, and the grim milestone was reached this morning as hundreds more made the journey in small boats from france. meanwhile, sir keir starmer has promised to work alongside germany to smash the smuggler gangs that that perpetrate this trade. now to break this down is our homeland security editor, mark white. mark, welcome to the show . another grim milestone has show. another grim milestone has been reached. 20,000 this year. 6000 thousand since sir keir starmer got into power. he promised to smash the gangs. mark, the gangs didn't get the memo. >> yes . memo. >> yes. pushing up towards 7000. now that milestone was reached. this morning just after half past nine when the second border force vessel came in with another 95 people on board. that took us over the 20,000 mark for the year so far.

took us over the 20,000 mark for the year so far . and since then, the year so far. and since then, hundreds more have come into uk waters, been picked up by border forces, is now routine and taken to dover harbour in total. our producer in kent, martin, has. counted 613 arrivals so far today. and he tells me that border force are expecting some more arrivals on high tide tonight. a bumper day in the channel following 526, who crossed in eight small boats yesterday. there is no slowdown in those crossing the english channel in those crossing the english channel, despite the avowed aim of sir keir starmer to smash the gangs that objective is going to be a long term objective. they are still in the process of recruiting, we're told, 100 new investigators for the national

crime agency. but sir keir starmer's first order of duty when he took over the reins at downing street was to scrap the previous government's rwanda deterrent scheme, calling it a gimmick. and today in berlin, at a news conference, he doubled down on that. he stood by that decision to scrap rwanda and said that he would be going after the people smugglers. smugglers? this is what he said. >> i have long said before the election that i thought the rwanda scheme was a gimmick, which is why we stood it down immediately . which is why we stood it down immediately. but which is why we stood it down immediately . but nonetheless, it immediately. but nonetheless, it is very important that we take back control of our borders. i have long been convinced that the best way, the most effective way to do that is to take down the gangs that are running the vile trade of putting people in dangerous situations across europe and across the channel and i said before the election that i would invest political capital in making sure that we

could work more effectively with our partners in taking down those gangs . and that's why i'm those gangs. and that's why i'm very pleased today that we have had a substantive discussion , had a substantive discussion, agreed to a joint action plan, and that will, as you would expect , deal with issues like expect, deal with issues like data sharing, intelligence sharing, what we can do on joint operations, because that is the way to take effective action in relation to the vile trade that sits beneath irregular migration across europe and in particular, beneath the vile trade of putting people into small boats across the channel >> well, despite his tough words , >> well, despite his tough words, there is no slowdown in the number of migrants willing to embark on that illegal journey. quite the opposite . our sources quite the opposite. our sources are telling us that thousands of migrants are encamped right along northern france from dunkirk, down through calais, further south than berlin,

waiting for their opportunity to get across the channel in the calm conditions, which of course, were right in the heart of those better weather conditions. >> now, mark white, we had there sir keir starmer and olaf scholz, two leaders united in their total inability to control their total inability to control their own borders. germany, the most porous of any member state in the european union over 2.15 million illegal immigrants have entered germany since 2012. they can't control their own borders. how can any form of deal with germany the worst offender in terms of its inability to defend its borders, possibly precipitate into a downstream benefit? for the united kingdom, it's for the birds. >> yes. and you'll remember, of course, it was a previous chancellor, angela merkel who opened the borders effectively of germany. and it seems wider

europe telling those who were fleeing syria at the time that they were more than welcome to come up to germany to be given asylum and 1.2 million asylum seekers took her up on that offer, and they've had no end of problems, have had, as had many european countries since then , european countries since then, grappling with that migrant problem and of course, just this past weekend, a terrible stabbing that happened in a western german city linked to an asylum seeker from syria . asylum seeker from syria. >> mark white, thank you for that superb update as ever. we'll have more from you in the next hour. great stuff now. lots more still to come between now and 4:00 including could there be chaos on our streets? while the ministry of justice confirms that only 100 spaces are now left in male prisons in england and wales? that and much more , and wales? that and much more, including an exclusive statement from sadiq khan, the london mayor. but first, your latest news headlines with tatiana

>> welcome back. it's 337. i'm martin daubney on gb news now. a 28 year old man has been handed a suspended prison sentence after throwing items at nigel

farage during his general election campaign. josh greeley appeared at barnsley magistrates court and was sentenced to six weeks in prison, but suspended for 12 months. gb news reporter anna riley joins us now from outside the court. anna. so this gentleman escaped prison. tell us more . us more. >> us more. >> yes, martin. he escaped a jail sentence. he was handed a six week suspended sentence that suspended for 12 months. he was given a 120 hours of unpaid community service . and he was community service. and he was also given 20 rehabilitation days , as well as having to pay days, as well as having to pay charges to the court. this incident happened back on june the 11th while nigel farage was canvassing for the reform uk party on an open top bus that was going through barnsley town centre. as nigel farage was giving a speech, it was then that josh greeley was seen going into a bin where construction

workers , builders were working workers, builders were working and picking out a paper cup that was believed to have been filled with liquid. throwing that at the bus, it did not hit nigel farage. and then going into a bin and throwing another object that also missed nigel farage. he was part of a group that had come in opposition to nigel farage as he was going through and canvassing as part of the general election, he was soon apprehended by police. the court said that members of the public as well also tried to catch him , as well also tried to catch him, and then when he first appeared in court, he pleaded guilty. now, in the sentencing, district judge james gould said that greeley's target had been a political a politician campaigning in our democratic country. he said to greeley politicians know they will face robust opposition, but that must never spill over into violence or intimidation. that is not the

pursuit of free speech. it is an attempt to silence the voice of opposition. in mitigation, the court also heard that greeley had no previous convictions and that he had attended protests before. but the judge said this seems to be the first time he has stepped over the line and found himself in trouble with the authorities. the court heard that he lived with his aunt and uncle, that he was an educated man with a university degree and a master's degree. he was currently working in a bar , and currently working in a bar, and that he had an interest in film and television, and that he wrote for online websites about this in a character reference submitted by the judge, a former lecturer described greeley as compassionate and caring, so that all went towards his mitigation, escaping a jail sentence, but instead being given that six week suspended jail sentence for 12 months. >> may compassionate and caring individual who throws stuff at a politician during an active

electoral cycle. i wonder what message that sends out a suspended sentence for that. what message does that send out to people out there? and thank you very much for that update. now, moving on. an 11 year old child has been arrested over disorder in middlesbrough during the riots, and cleveland police said officers had detained a further 14 people in connection with the disorder on sunday, the 4th of august. now this comes off the back of the news reported yesterday that there are now only 100 spaces left in men's prisons in england and wales. the system already in the middle of an overcrowding crisis, is understood to be close to breaking point after increased strain over the bank houday increased strain over the bank holiday weekend. and joining us now is the social campaigner winston davis. winston, welcome to the show. always an absolute pleasure to have you on the show. 100 spaces left and we're heanng show. 100 spaces left and we're hearing here suspended sentences being handed out left, right and centre. my question to you, winston davis, is simple. what message does that send out to

criminals on the street? if they fear there's very little chance of them being banged up? martin, i don't know about you, but i am tired of us going over this. this shortage of prison spaces, time and time again. we've been saying this now for a number of years. this is not a new a new problem. and it's and it's been created for years and years of governments not taking action. and it's like we're at the position where there's something, you know, has to be done to alleviate the problem. there simply isn't enough prison spaces . but there simply isn't enough prison spaces. but for me, it's like if you were a captain of a ship and you were a captain of a ship and you were a captain of a ship and you were heading towards an iceberg, and that that ship was guaranteed to crash and to sink, if you didn't change course of action. and it's the same thing has happened here. four years ago, the government was told that they were going to run out of prison spaces in 22 or 23. we're at 24. they're only surprising thing is that we're having this conversation today in august 2024. and no, you're right, martin, it doesn't send out the right message. but what

are the chances or alternatives they got? well the second thing to compound that winston davis is we're now facing the early release of thousands of prisoners starting on september the 10th. i think it's 2500 then 1500 in october, 5500 in total to alleviate the pressure. so again, i put it to you, winston , again, i put it to you, winston, if you're if you're a if you're a perpetrator, you're out on the streets. you're hearing most people are getting suspended sentences now, unless of course, they post things on facebook about riots. seems to be different justice there and then, even even when they get inside 40% of their time and they'll be out, it's hardly a short, sharp shock, is it? no 100%. and the reality is, there isn't an argument with that point. people knowing that they're going to get shorter sentences, knowing they're going to be out on the streets earlier, they know that there's less chance of them going to prison 100%. it's likely that we're going to see an upturn in crime or even the conditions in prison being even worse, so that

people with the rehabilitation re—offending rate so high may increase further. and as far as the propensity we're seeing at the propensity we're seeing at the moment for suspended sentences to be dished out in some cases. we just heard that nigel farage's attacker threw stuff at the bus during a live electoral cycle. he escaped prison, suspended sentence for 12 months. do you think it's fair to say that we have something which looks a bit like two tiered policing, two tier justice, two tier britain at the moment? winston i'm not going to jump moment? winston i'm not going to jump straight into saying that, martin. because. because the thing is, this is that the government have been told since 2019 that prison sentences under 12 months don't work. so we've got this situation where we are banging people up and it's not working and they're just going back in the cycle and cycle of coming back to prison, to say it's two tier. i know that's being bandied around a lot . i being bandied around a lot. i can't i can't say that you're

diplomatic man, winston. now then. but incarceration worked for you, didn't it? you've 100%. you've turned your life around. you've turned your life around. you had some tough love in there. you're a family man now. you're a businessman. in what way? for you. winston was prison beneficial? >> do you know what? >> do you know what? >> actually, martin, it was 16.5 years ago today that i was. i was nicked, right? and when i woke up the two days later in the maximum security prison , the maximum security prison, that was the wake up smelling that was the wake up smelling that prison, looking around the wing, seeing everyone walking around thinking, what am i doing here? and then? but i made a decision that i was going to make a change. and for the time i was there, i read, make a change. and for the time iwas there, i read, i studied, i was there, i read, i studied, i was there, i read, i studied, i developed myself, and i got trained up and from that i've been able to rebuild my life. but not everyone has the tools that i went into prison with and it really needs to be a massive shake up of what happens while people are actually in prison. winston davis, every time i get you on, you're a fine. you're a beautiful young man. you turn your life around. thank you so much for coming on, mate. best

of british to you now. still to come. should booze be at airports? i don't think it should. we're debating that next. i'm martin

welcome back. time is 3.49. i'm martin daubney on gb news now . martin daubney on gb news now. ryanair's ceo michael o'leary is calling for a strict two drink limit at airports to kerb what he calls violent behaviour on flights. now this comes as incidents of passenger altercations have risen, especially when alcohol is mixed with other substances. so could limiting alcohol be the solution to prevent this trend? or should we take a take a step further and implement an all out ban on booze at airports? well, i'm joined now by the travel and avian aviation expert sally gethin, and also with the entrepreneur and the former flight attendant, amy arne slot, who joins me now to have a bit of a ding dong. let's start with you. if we can, amy. now, as far

as i'm concerned, in an airport, it's always lunchtime, no matter what time of the day it is. stand between me and the red lion and you're in peril. why should the behaviour of a few morons stop everybody having a nice little bevvy at the airport ? nice little bevvy at the airport? >> well, i think ultimately when you have drunk passengers, as i've experienced as a former flight attendant, it actually bnngs flight attendant, it actually brings danger. so we're as a flight attendant and as the crew, you're there to get your customers there. and those flying from point a to point b safely. and that's really the most important thing that we want to do. and when customers are drunk, they're obviously going to be disruptive. they're going to be disruptive. they're going to be confrontational. they're going to be physically aggressive. and that just makes the job so hard to do and ultimately puts themselves and fellow passengers in danger and risks us getting you there safely in the end, which is what we all want. don't we? >> okay, so, sally gethin, i'll put it to you that again. why

should the actions of a few bad apples prevent the rest of us from having a drink or two? pint limit. i'm not going to fly the plane. i'm a passenger. >> i think because the consequence is so huge to having any disruptive behaviour on board a flight. i mean, the cost, for example, in the worst case scenario of a flight having to divert can be up to £80,000 800 £0 and also your 33,000ft up in the air. it's a very intense environment anyway. it's very intimidating for people to be faced with drunk or unruly passenger behaviour, and it could compromise the onboard safety, let alone being able to follow evacuation procedures in the event of an emergency. >> well, if we can all agree that outright abusive and dangerous drunks on a flight are a bad thing. amy anslow surely it's the airline's responsibility to weed these people out of the gates. don't let them on the flight . let them on the flight. >> well, i think look, if you have two drinks in the terminal, that's fine . but the problem is,

that's fine. but the problem is, when people have more and more dnnks when people have more and more drinks because of flight delays, that's the problem. >> well, i think that's the best part of being at an airport. i seem to be out. i seem to be sandwiched here between two people who don't agree with me. what i'm saying is i think you shouldn't be abusive on flights. you shouldn't be allowed on if you're completely plastered and going to cause you know , going to cause you know, disruption to the travel of others slowly. but surely, the idea that we should close all the pubs or limit everybody because of the actions of a couple of morons, that's not the way it works. we should be to free enjoy our holiday. and that starts at the airport. >> look, martin, you're not alone. a recent survey found that over 50% of passengers were not in favour of a ban of any kind. this debate has been sort of bubbling under for a year or more now. i mean , michael more now. i mean, michael o'leary has come out and sort of called it out, and that will give more air, it will give it more traction. and the government's already looking at

ways to be able to solve this problem. unfortunately, it's not just from the uk. for example, ryanair said that passengers departing germany and ireland can sometimes be disruptive and it's fuelled by the stag and hen dos, the sort of boozy holidays, particularly on low cost carriers easyjet and ryanair in particular. you know they have the biggest problem. so something in the end , something something in the end, something has to be done to address this. >> final word to you, amy anzel. how do we do this? what breathalyse people before they get on, perhaps. >> i mean, whatever it takes, right, to get there safely. so although you want to give people the freedom to drink, enjoy. maybe they're going on holiday. maybe they're going on holiday. maybe they're going on holiday. maybe they're going on a half business, half holiday kind of trip. you want them to enjoy themselves, but also get to their destination safely. so if it requires a breathalyser or some sort of test before they get on board, i think that's fine. and as a former flight attendant, i think that would be

beneficial to help everyone get there safely, ultimately. >> well, i'm all for breathalyser the pilots, but i'm not so sure about the passengers. sally gethin superb . passengers. sally gethin superb. and also amy anzel, thank you for joining us on the studio. forjoining us on the studio. a very, very high spirited debate. now a new way to go and get your opinions across. i'll read out a few before the end of the show. coming up, sadiq khan breaks his silence on the notting hill carnival stabbings. there have been 349 arrests, eight stabbings and a huge cache of weapons have been seized. as sadiq khan had not, said a single thing about it until we approach him for his comment, find out what he had to say next. you will will not want to miss that. i'm martin daubney, but first it's time for your. weather. >> looks like things are heating up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. >> hello. good afternoon.

welcome to your latest gb news weather update brought to you from the met office through the end of this week it will be more widely settled. still some cooler nights though, but still feeling quite warm in the day. however, through the rest of this evening we've still got some wet to weather come for some wet to weather come for some north and western areas that will push into the south and east. due to this weather front moving south and eastwards throughout this evening, so bringing some showery outbreaks of rain to the likes of northeastern england. perhaps the odd shower across eastern areas of england as well, but that should generally clear away as the night goes on. so a clear and dry night to come once that rain does clear and we could see some mist and fog developing across more southern counties. so fresher night with clearer skies. but that will make for a brighter start to thursday. so plenty of sunshine, particularly across eastern and southern areas of the uk, the north and west will see some heavier showers pushing in from western scotland first thing, so a wet start for western areas of scotland, parts of the highlands, the western isles temperatures only around 12 or 11 degrees. first thing more in

the way of sunshine across parts of northern ireland and southern areas of scotland . staying areas of scotland. staying largely dry now we could see the odd shower across parts of wales, southwest england, northwest england, in fact . but northwest england, in fact. but many central and eastern areas will be very much dry through the morning and actually through much of tomorrow. it's looking like a fairly fine day. light winds for much of england and wales, so it will feel quite pleasant in the sunshine. but the air is going to be fresher tomorrow, so we'll lose that humid feel that we have had today. so temperatures will be a little bit lower today compared tomorrow compared to today just in the lower 20s, 23 or 24 at best in the south and east, closer to those higher teens. further north we've got a fairly brisk breeze . in the north it brisk breeze. in the north it will stay quite fresh well into the evening as well, will stay quite fresh well into the evening as well , potentially the evening as well, potentially some quite strong winds affecting the northern isles through thursday evening. but the showers should move away to the showers should move away to the north and east through thursday, leaving a fine day quite widely through friday and saturday as well. a risk of showers arrives in the south from sunday, but by that warm

gb news. >> a very, very good afternoon to you. it's 4:00 pm and welcome to you. it's 4:00 pm and welcome to the martin daubney show on gb news. we're broadcasting live from the heart of westminster all across the uk . in today's all across the uk. in today's show. back in 2018, the eu's donald tusk warned us there will be no post—brexit cherry picking. but that hasn't stopped prime minister sir keir starmer heading to berlin, looking to reset our relationship with germany, with the prime minister's next stop, paris. it is all part of starmer's grand plan to cosy up to brussels and begin the long road to rejoining the european union, and some 500 illegal immigrants came ashore yesterday. in fact, there's been a further 613 today, taking the

grim total now to over 20,000. this year and almost 7000 since the labour party came into power. now that's a small town the size of buxton or harwich, and that's rising by the day. labour said they'd smashed the gangs. it appears the gangs didn't get the memo. and yesterday the grim crime statistics for the notting hill carnival were finally released, with 349 arrests, eight stabbings, 61 police officers assaulted and 49 weapons seized, including three firearms. yet london's mayor, sadiq khan , london's mayor, sadiq khan, hadnt london's mayor, sadiq khan, hadn't even commented upon that situation until we asked him for a statement. we got that exclusive statement coming soon. it's astonishing. and that's all coming in your next two hours. who do you think you're kidding, mr starmer? you've gone to berlin. try and do a cherry picking deal with berlin. on to

paris next. then where? brussels strasbourg. is this the slow slide back towards strasbourg? is this part of the master plan to get us back into the eu? not via a referendum. they wouldn't risk that again. they might get the wrong result. but treaty by treaty, deal by deal . is the treaty, deal by deal. is the united kingdom surrendering, betraying the spirit of brexit and the 17.4 million who voted for it and some of us went to brussels to make sure that they listened. are they ignoring us? once again, let me know your thoughts gbnews.com/yoursay is the way to do that . the national the way to do that. the national headunes the way to do that. the national headlines with tatiana sanchez . headlines with tatiana sanchez. >> martin, thank you very much and good afternoon. the top stories from the gb newsroom. a 28 year old man has been handed a suspended prison sentence after throwing items at nigel farage during his general election campaign , appearing at election campaign, appearing at barnsley magistrates court today, josh greely was sentenced

today, josh greely was sentenced to six weeks in prison , to six weeks in prison, suspended for 12 months and ordered to carry out 120 hours of unpaid work. video from the incident showed mr farage shielding his face whilst items believed to be coffee cups were thrown towards him . the prime thrown towards him. the prime minister says a new uk germany treaty will be part of a wider reset for europe . sir keir reset for europe. sir keir starmer is in germany to launch negotiations on a new bilateral treaty, which hopes to boost business and increase joint action on illegal migration. speaking during a joint news conference with the german chancellor in berlin, he described it as a moment of opportunity to deepen links between the uk and germany. >> this treaty is part of a wider reset grounded in a new spirit of cooperation with our shared understanding that this will be developed at pace and that we hope to have agreed it by the end of the year. a

britain reconnected , resetting britain reconnected, resetting our relationship , rediscovering our relationship, rediscovering our relationship, rediscovering our common interests , delivering our common interests, delivering for working people . for working people. >> meanwhile, back home, the chancellor has addressed sir keir starmer's warning that the autumn budgets will be painful. speaking today in scotland, rachel reeves defended the government's decision on winter fuel payments. the truth is that these are not decisions that i wanted to make, but these are decisions we have to make given the inheritance that we face from the conservative government. >> and there will be more difficult decisions to come in the budget later this year. but the budget later this year. but the stark reality after the mess that the previous conservative government have left this labour government to inherit, it means difficult decisions. but without difficult decisions. but without difficult decisions. but without difficult decisions we are going to face serious problems with our public finances. i will not take the risks that the conservatives have taken previously. that would put our economy in danger.

>> the ministry of justice says the immediate pressure on spaces in men's prisons in england and wales has eased significantly in the last 24 hours. we'll bring you more on those comments as we get them. and they come after . get them. and they come after. shadow leader of the house of commons chris philp, called for more spaces in prisons following the release of new figures yesterday, showing there were just 100 spaces left in male prisons across england and wales. it comes after the deactivation. activation of early dawn, where defendants in active court cases are kept in police cells until standard prison spaces open up . on prison spaces open up. on friday, magistrates were told to delay jailing jailing criminals as the number of people in prison hit a new weekly high dunng prison hit a new weekly high during last year. >> every week there are about 100 additional net additional prison places were created by the previous justice secretary, alex chalk , so they were alex chalk, so they were bringing on 100 more places each week than were being retired or

withdrawn for refurbishment. so i think the solution to this is more prison places and in the very short term , these rapid very short term, these rapid deployment cells are dcs are what i would like to be see being used . being used. >> this comes as cleveland police say an 11 year old child has been arrested over disorder dunng has been arrested over disorder during the middlesbrough riots. in cleveland, police said officers had detained a further 14 people in connection with the disorder . on the 4th of august. disorder. on the 4th of august. sir keir starmer has condemned the violence seen at notting hill carnival , which left 61 hill carnival, which left 61 police officers injured. the prime minister says i was very clear about the 2011 riots, which had a different genesis to the recent riots. but he also addedi the recent riots. but he also added i will condemn anyone using violence. a man has been charged with attempted murder over the stabbing of a mother at carnival. 20 year old shaquille tebow has appeared in court today charged with the attempted murder of 32 year old cher. maximum. and we know she's in a

coma in a life threatening condition. two other men have been charged in relation to the same incident. the three men are brothers . gb news can brothers. gb news can exclusively reveal that more than 20,000 migrants have crossed the english channel illegally so far this year. the milestone was reached this morning as hundreds more made the journey in small boats from france. it's after 526 people arrived illegally in uk waters in eight dinghies yesterday . and in eight dinghies yesterday. and a new contempt of court application has been lodged against tommy robinson over alleged breaches of a high court order from 2021, according to the attorney general's office. law officers allege that mr robinson breached an injunction barring him from repeating libellous allegations through six actions between june and july this year. the order came after he lost a legal battle against a syrian refugee, who had sued him for libel. and those are the latest gb news

that both sides hope to conclude the new treaty by the end of the yeah the new treaty by the end of the year. but first, here's what former president of the european council donald tusk, said back in 2018. >> media reports are correct. i am afraid that the uk position today is based on pure illusion . today is based on pure illusion. it looks like the cake philosophy is still alive . from philosophy is still alive. from the very start , it has been a the very start, it has been a key principle of the eu 27 that there can be no cherry picking and no single market. a la carte. >> and that's my old brussels adversary, donald tusk, talking about no cherry picking. well, it appears that this deal looks like a bit of cherry picking. let's discuss it now further with our political correspondent in the studio, katherine forster. catherine, on the way out of the european union, donald tusk, michel barnier , the donald tusk, michel barnier, the chancellor of germany, they were very, very harsh. there was no

special deal. you cannot do any deals at all with individual member states unless you come via brussels. all of a sudden there's been a change of mood music, a change of mood music. >> yes, yes. but let's see what actually does evolve from this. i was just watching that, and i had a little bit of sort of deja vu, because it was only a few months ago that i was there in berlin , watching a press berlin, watching a press conference with olaf scholz and the former prime minister, rishi sunak , in which rishi sunak and sunak, in which rishi sunak and olaf scholz were talking about increased defence cooperation, the challenges of the middle east, ukraine working together, supporting businesses. germany is our second biggest trading partner and here we go again. but of course , what is clear is but of course, what is clear is that this prime minister wants to go further in his closer

relations with the eu, because of course, rishi sunak campaigned to leave. sir keir starmer campaigned to stay. and then when the country voted for brexit, spent a lot of time as shadow brexit secretary campaigning for a second referendum. now he's done apparently a complete about turn in that. now they say no going back, no going back to customs union and single market. the european union . but they very european union. but they very clearly do want to improve relations. and this treaty that they're talking about, they'd like to get it done and dusted by christmas. they're talking about security , defence, about security, defence, business, ai, climate change, all the rest of it . but business, ai, climate change, all the rest of it. but you do wonder there's very little detail here. a lot of talk. but really, how much can germany give us without the say so of the eu? because the eu controls

a lot of what germany is able to do . and even if they can give us do. and even if they can give us stuff, what are they going to want in return? >> which brings me on to my next point. because the language of this visit, as opposed to the one that you were on with rishi sunak, is quite different. to reset our relationship with europe. that's the words of sir keir starmer. we must turn a corner on brexit, turn a page on the tory government and on the table. it's been touted youth mobility , erasmus or a version mobility, erasmus or a version of it that is a form of freedom of it that is a form of freedom of movement. it might be for the under seconds now, but i put it to you. catherine is this a step by step baby? step closer to brussels. the rose between the teeth. the courtship is abundant. first berlin today, later paris , next brussels. later paris, next brussels. >> well, of course, this is what will worry many people who voted leave, who will think that there is a potential for brexit to be

undermined or lost further down the road. now, worth saying about this youth mobility scheme. we know that germany would dearly love that and three years for under 30s to live and work here, or vice versa. now the government is firmly saying at the moment there are no plans for that. the prime minister was asked specifically and again he said no plans for that. but they did say no plans for tax rises, didn't they? not very long ago. and we almost certainly are going to see them . so you can going to see them. so you can say there's no plans for something, but then plans change. so they say it's not happening at the moment, but of course they're only at the beginning of this negotiation. let's see what comes a few months down the line. >> and it's worth pointing out that the senior personnel. sir keir starmer, he led the people's vote campaign for a second referendum to cancel brexit for six years, david lammy compared members of the european research group to

fascists, to nazis. yvette cooper the home secretary. very, very strong . remain voice now very strong. remain voice now i don't think. do you think that they would ever dream of giving us a second referendum? or is this something different? it's death by a thousand treaties. >> well, we will find out in the coming years, but i think what has changed is that the polls consistently show that. what is it? about 60% of people now think it was a mistake to leave. and so they probably think that in trying to get closer relations or maybe taking baby steps, that this is where the pubuc steps, that this is where the public are. and of course, the problem is, well, first of all, many people think we've not had brexit or certainly as they understood it , lots of people understood it, lots of people had different views about what brexit was and also any benefits of brexit were always going to take many, many, many years. and that wasn't factoring in covid. it wasn't factoring in war in ukraine. so yes , let us see.

ukraine. so yes, let us see. but, i did used to think that there was no way back to the eu. but you do . you do wonder, don't but you do. you do wonder, don't you? >> now, do you think , catherine, >> now, do you think, catherine, that the issue here lies with the previous government, actually with the previous , actually with the previous, previous, previous prime minister boris johnson, did we actually get a proper brexit done? was this always an inevitability? this, this leaving the cat flap and screwed? we were still connected via fishing, via trade agreements , via northern agreements, via northern ireland. is it all keir starmer's fault or is he just doing? he's an opportunist here. he's always been emotionally a remainer, a european, a brussels advocate and the conservative government allowed him the opportunity to do so . opportunity to do so. >> well, certainly it depends what brexit meant to you. but the singapore on thames version of brexit that lots of the sort of brexit that lots of the sort of libertarian right wanted, i

don't think that's where a lot of the public were. a lot of the pubuc of the public were. a lot of the public were thinking simply, the system is currently not working for us. immigration needs to be controlled. but still, you know , controlled. but still, you know, legal migration has been through the roof on the previous government's watch through decisions that they made. that's not what many leave voters were expecting. and also in terms of better economic opportunities, levelling up, etc. a lot of the communities that voted for leave will still feel they haven't had any of that katherine forster superb stuff, and let's carry this conversation on now with the journalist jack parrock, who joins me now live from brussels. >> jack, always a pleasure to have you on the show. so we heard that in 2018. donald tusk had no cherry picking , no had no cherry picking, no special deals with any member states . this jack looks like states. this jack looks like cherry picking it looks like the united kingdom try and do bespoke deals first with france. perhaps next with with germany

and perhaps next with france. is that the mood music, and why do you think the european union member states are bending the rules suddenly? well because they want britain to rejoin . i they want britain to rejoin. i don't i don't necessarily think it's that, to be honest with you, martin, from all of the diplomats and officials that i've spoken to, these deals from an eu perspective, are not particularly significant. then perhaps more about the optics reason being is that the european union commission is in charge of negotiating trade deals . and the big deal that deals. and the big deal that would be done, the big shifts would be done, the big shifts would be done, the big shifts would be over an overarching trade deal, whether to bring the uk back into the single market, the customs union, all of that would be negotiated by brussels. this deal, like we've seen, this treaty that's being agreed between the united kingdom and germany, this thing that they want to get in motion, specifically on issues of security and all of those kind of things like we've heard, these are actually relatively small issues that they can negotiate on. the question is, as you would put it, whether

this is sort of a thousand paper cuts towards returning to the european union. is this an opfics european union. is this an optics of friendly relations between two european leaders? one now outside of the european union, that could lead down the road to the to the united kingdom, rejoining the eu from everyone i've spoken to pretty much across the board, that doesn't seem to be what's what's happening. uk ministers, ministers from across the european union simply say that they want to reset the relationship. what does that mean? that's what we don't know at the moment. what does an actual reset mean? it doesn't seem like there's much appetite, evenin seem like there's much appetite, even in the european union capitals, that were so against the uk leaving the eu , they the uk leaving the eu, they didn't want britain to do that. >> back in 2016. they still they don't have that much energy to start renegotiating all of these deals that have taken place over the last few years. >> but as you say, it's a question, what are the optics here? jack parrock, one of my

old adversaries, guy verhofstadt , old adversaries, guy verhofstadt, who i once had the great delight in calling the darth vader of the european union to his face in a speech he's been pumping up today. as you would imagine. he called brexit a slow rot and he said, let's undo brexit. he sees this very much as an opportunity to pick at the scab, to try and get this wound reopened again. and specifically, one of the things that keeps cropping up, jack and it's on the table again today is the thorny topic of freedom of movement. now a bespoke deal for the under 30s for students. perhaps initially with germany and then spain. and why not bring the spanish in? and what about the italians? is that the point? these little deals are the scintillans, the openings. and then we get on something much more expansive across the 27 member states. and that starts to look a lot more like pre—brexit united kingdom . like pre—brexit united kingdom. so it certainly doesn't surprise me that depher hofstadt has been

talking about this. he absolutely loves wading in on these issues, and i think his position is relatively well known. we can expect the type of thing that he will say. he's sort of been heavily critical of the uk leaving the eu and everything in between ever since. >> and he's , you know, broadly >> and he's, you know, broadly an eu federalist as well, would prefer sort of an overarching, you know, european parliament thatis you know, european parliament that is directly elected and is really much more powerful than, than it ever has been . than it ever has been. >> the question of freedom of movement for the under seconds has long been one that has been really complex, even for people who are really in favour of brexit. >> the erasmus scheme, where european students and back when the uk was in it, british students would be able to go to universities or study and work abroad for part of their studies, even for people that were really ardently in favour of brexit, that has been something that was, you know, they were concerned about removing the boris johnson

government, decided that britain should pull out of erasmus. >> context for this is that countries outside of the eu are also in the erasmus+ system. so countries like turkey, for instance, and it's widely seen as a sort of cultural exchange thatis as a sort of cultural exchange that is beneficial for everyone involved. young people can go and learn languages and, you know, enhance their education in different countries through that scheme. so while it does sort of seem like those visas that allow people to study and work in other countries perhaps could be a back door into freedom of movement , a back door into freedom of movement, most people see it. and one of the things that's been a real issue for the europeans, this is important to say as well, in the uk, leaving the erasmus scheme is that there countries, rather than being able to send their students to the united kingdom, spending a lot of money in doing so and helping our universities, the british universities, in the process? they want to send them to britain to learn english and instead what they've had to do is spend a lot more money sending their students to the united states and to continue to

do that or provide english language courses in the eu. that's been a real big shift in how universities have worked ever since . so certainly from an ever since. so certainly from an eu perspective and from the capitals of the european union, finding a system where they could get young people into the uk and have that exchange. i know a lot of people that have chosen to not send their children to britain, to university after brexit as well, so that might actually be something that is beneficial for the european union and for britain as well. >> it will be beneficial for the european union for a fact they have to go to the united states, crimea river. we have half a million student visas granted last year alone from overseas. we already have enough . thank we already have enough. thank you very much for joining us, though. from inside the belly of the beast there in brussels. now time for the great british giveaway now and your chance to win £30,000 tax free. they got to hurry up though, as lines close at 5 pm. this friday. here's all the details. you need to be our next winner. >> it's the final week to see how you could win an incredible

sir keir starmer says he's agreed a joint action plan with germany to tackle illegal immigration. but more than 20,000 migrants have crossed the channel illegally so far this yean channel illegally so far this year, and rising. i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel

welcome back. time is 427. i'm martin daubney. welcome back. time is 427. i'm martin daubney . this is 427. i'm martin daubney. this is 427. i'm martin daubney. this is gb news now. more than 20,000 migrants have crossed the engush migrants have crossed the english channel illegally so far this year alone, and the grim milestone was reached this morning as hundreds more made the journey in small boats from france. meanwhile, sir keir starmer has promised to work alongside germany to smash the smuggler gangs that perpetrate this trade. now to break this down, i'm joined by our homeland security editor, mark white. mark, welcome to the show. so the tally we had this morning was 500, i believe. now it's risen even further. mark white

tell us more. >> yeah. 613 so far. and our producer down in kent tells us there's a possibility of more coming across on high tide. this evening. conditions are pretty good. close to perfect out there in the channel at the moment. so that, of course, encourages the people smugglers to push these boats out. there is some resistance from french authorities who try when they can get close enough to reach these boats and to puncture them. that's led, incidentally, to increasing levels of violence in northern france. and we can report now there was another incident of violence that took place overnight last night south of boulogne. a police officer attacked and injured as he and colleagues attempted to intercept a vehicle that was carrying marine equipment for

one of these small boats for the smuggling gangs, as they were just about to try to launch a boat from a beach south of boulogne , it turned into some boulogne, it turned into some significant public order in that area , with missiles being thrown area, with missiles being thrown towards police and neighbouring properties as well. this, as i say, is not uncommon. we've been seeing increasing levels of violence against the police and indeed local residents in northern france as increasingly desperate and angry migrants try to resist attempts to stop them crossing the channel and these attempts to cross them stopping the channel to stop them crossing the channel are limited , crossing the channel are limited, but very evidently so. the fact that 613 more have crossed today

526 yesterday, more than 20,000 for the year so far. but still, prime minister keir starmer across in germany today as he gave a news conference in berlin, doubled down on the decision he made to scrap the conservative government's rwanda deterrence scheme . instead, he deterrence scheme. instead, he wants to go after the people smuggling gangs. this is what he told that news conference. >> i have long said before the election that i thought the rwanda scheme was a gimmick, which is why we stood it down immediately. but nonetheless it is very important that we take back control of our borders. i have long been convinced that the best way, the most effective way to do that is to take down the gangs that are running the vile trade of putting people in dangerous situations across europe and across the channel. and i said before the election that i would invest political capital in making sure we could work more effectively with our

partners in taking down those gangs. and that's why i am very pleased today that we have had a substantive discussion, agreed to a joint action plan, and that will, as you would expect, deal with issues like data sharing, intelligence sharing, what we can do on joint operations, because that is the way to take effective action in relation to the vile trade that sits beneath irregular migration across europe and in particular, beneath the vile trade of putting people into small boats across the channel >> the trouble with smashing the gangsisifs >> the trouble with smashing the gangs is it's far from simple. these are organised crime groups. they have over a number of years now become quite expert at being able to run their people's smuggling business. it's an international enterprise worth many millions of pounds. if they take down one group, another group will soon take its

place. but even just taking down a group is extremely difficult because they are operating in multiple countries and you need complete cooperation from these other countries around the world to be able to go after them on those foreign soil and mark white what strikes me about seeing sir keir starmer alongside olaf scholz there is there are two leaders united in their total inability to be able to control their own borders. >> in fact, germany has the biggest problem with illegal immigration out of all of the 27 eu member states, mark white 2.15 million entered illegally. that's just the illegals. between 2012 and 2023, the number one destination across all of the eu. i think this idea that somehow germany, with the biggest problem can help solve our problem is for the fantasy land. but what do i know? mark white, thank you very much for filling us in expertly as ever

more in the next hour. thank you very much . now, still lots more very much. now, still lots more to come between now and 5:00, including sadiq khan. finally breaks his silence on the notting hill carnival stabbings. he gave us an exclusive statement just because we asked him why have you been so quiet on this? find out what he had to say. and this astonishing statement later on in the programme. but first, this your headlines, miss tatiana sanchez . headlines, miss tatiana sanchez. >> martin, thank you very much. and good afternoon. the top stories. the prime minister says a new uk germany treaty will be part of a wider reset, with europe . sir keir starmer is in europe. sir keir starmer is in germany to launch negotiations on a new bilateral treaty, which hopes to boost business and increase joint action on illegal migration. speaking during a joint news conference with the german chancellor in berlin, he described it as a moment of opportunity to deepen links between the uk and germany . the between the uk and germany. the ministry of justice says the immediate pressure on spaces in

felt that there was a prospect of rehabilitation. and that's why he was given a six week sentence, suspended for 12 months. he was also given a 120 hours of community service, 20 rehabilitation days and also fines to pay to the court. now this incident happened on june the 11th. it was during nigel farage's campaigning here in barnsley, in the town centre, on a reform uk double decker bus , a reform uk double decker bus, when josh greeley was captured on camera going into a bin and throwing a coffee cup and another object towards the bus aimed at nigel farage. these objects missed him and as greeley tried to flee the scene, members of the public tried to apprehend him and he was caught swiftly by police and admitted guilt to the public. order offences that he has been charged with. now, in the

sentencing, the judge said that greeley had played a prominent role in what had happened. he was part of an opposition group to nigel farage as he was campaigning on june the 11th. he told the defendant. the judge said politicians know they will face robust opposition, but that must never spill over into violence or intimidation . and he violence or intimidation. and he said that greeley's target had been a politician campaigning in our democratic country. he said what greeley did was not in the pursuit of free speech, and it was an attempt to silence voices of opposition . in mitigation, of opposition. in mitigation, the court also heard that greeley was well educated man, that he was a university student, that he'd got he'd got a degree and that he'd got a master's degree that he was currently working in a bar, and that he had an interest in film and television, and he wrote reviews on websites for this. he was he was previously of good

character as well, had no previous convictions . and the previous convictions. and the court said that in a character reference that was submitted to the judge, a former lecturer described greeley as compassionate and caring, a compassionate and caring, a compassionate and caring, a compassionate and caring individual who throws rocks whatever it was at a politician dunng whatever it was at a politician during an electoral cycle. >> and o'reilly, i wonder if that sends out the message that it's okay to do these kind of attacks on a politician. is that the right thing? that's a conversation for another time. thank you very much for joining us and o'reilly for that update on the man escaped jail early on for that attack on nigel farage now moving on. a man has appeared in court today charged with the attempted murder of a 32 year old woman at the notting hill carnival on sunday. shaquille tebow is also charged with violent disorder and possession of an offensive weapon, and appeared in the dock alongside his two brothers, gb news national reporter charlie peters was outside westminster magistrates court for us earlier

inspirational journey around the coast of britain. can you tell us, chris, for starters, what prompted you to go and your incredible journey? >> well, you know , i was there >> well, you know, i was there fighting my own demons at the time. you know, before i started the walk. and it had been a long journey, if you like. and, you know , i knew that i needed to know, i knew that i needed to make a change. and my daughter had just flown the nest. >> i was a single parent before this. and previous to that, i was ex parachute regiment, and i knew that i needed to make a change because if i didn't, i'm not sure where i would have been now if that makes sense. >> so yeah, something just came into my head, at the very end of july and said, look , go and walk july and said, look, go and walk the uk coastline. and that's exactly what i did. >> and six years later we just finished . finished. >> and chris, you had an astonishing voyage of discovery. looked deep into yourself as you said, you face your own demons and you met your missus on the journey as well, didn't you? so truly, chris, a transformative journey for yourself. yeah, yeah.

>> i mean , look, you step into >> i mean, look, you step into the unknown like that, you know, you have no idea how things are going to work out. you go out with so little expectation, but only really with the aim to, you know, for me personally to come back feeling a lot better than what i was before i left , and what i was before i left, and that certainly succeeded. so everything that happened along that journey was one big learning curve, and i got to learning curve, and i got to learn a lot about myself, a lot about, you know, the public and people. and, yeah, it was just a life changing transformation for me. and, you know, i learned so much, and i know what i want to do with the rest of my life as a result of it. and i met the most amazing people and, you know, worked hard. six years of carrying a your house on your back isn't the easiest feat in the world. i can promise you that. but it was worth every single step because yeah , i single step because yeah, i rescued a dog along the way. i met my now fiancee, kate barron along the way, and we had a baby together along the way as well. so to start in the position i did and then end up with all of that coming over the line with

me was just something that i never expected, and i couldn't have dreamed it up, to be honest . have dreamed it up, to be honest. >> chris, i've got something in my eye, mate. you're making an old man get choked up here. it's spreading , mate. old man get choked up here. it's spreading, mate. i'm old man get choked up here. it's spreading , mate. i'm telling spreading, mate. i'm telling you, mate, it's a beautiful story. can i ask you if you can? it's an arrogant thing to say, but to try and put yourself in the in the shoes of spencer matthews. you know, here's somebody who struggled very, very publicly with his own demons of alcoholism. and he found literally step by step, mile by mile to push this out of his system by completing these marathons in terms of your own journey, how deep inside yourself do you go to process what happened to you? i mean, was that what you experience in the military, in your time serving your country? >> yeah, i mean, it was a combination of things. look, i think, you know, there's no truer word than saying it's the first way to deal with the problem is to realise that you have one and whatever that may be. and, you know, in spencer's case, what it was for him, you know, to , i think more than

know, to, i think more than anything to take that first step, can often be harder than the actual thing that you're doing. so, you know, i, i don't know, spencer, but, you know, i take my hat off to him. what a quy- take my hat off to him. what a guy. and i love people that want to make a real change, not just in their lives. because i think when you open yourself up, people then start gravitating towards you who, you know, might themselves have problems . so, themselves have problems. so, you know, not only are you helping yourself, but it helps other people as well. and, you know, that's what he's done. and, i like to think that's what i've done. and, you know, it's a wonderful feeling. i think one of the biggest rewards of the whole journey is knowing that, you know, by opening up other people do the same and it helps them to to, maybe take that first step, too. so it's a wonderful, wonderful feeling. but you have to dig deep. it's not an easy, easy path to forge. >> and chris, you raised a bunch of money for a charity in the process. you'd like to tell us about that and maybe if people want to help out how they can get involved. >> yeah, sure. so i did it for a veterans charity. i was ex parachute regiment and it's called sapphire and sapphire

were just wonderful to me. you know, they really, really stepped in when i needed it. although i didn't want their help at the time because i was that proud. you know, i'll do it on my own sort of guy. and, you know, i never forgot that. so yeah, it was a no brainer to start the walk with. saffron ended up raising over half a million pounds for them. you know, i only originally set off for 100,000, so i was really, really chuffed with that. and, you know, i know that money's been good to put, put to good use, but, you know, people can still, you know, go and donate onto my page through social media, wilderness family and the links are all up there . so, you links are all up there. so, you know, we're going to be moving on to another adventure soon. and yeah, we can't wait. and this time we're all going to do it as a family. and it's, you know, hope to raise more money for people that need it. >> chris lewis, it's an astonishing story. you know, what a gentleman you are and what a gentleman you are and what a gentleman you are and what a journey you've been on. and you met your missus. you've got a nipper, you've got a new life. that all began by looking into the abyss , as it were. and into the abyss, as it were. and what looked back at you was a happy future . it's an happy future. it's an astonishing story. thank you so much for sharing it with us. very, very best of british. and what a worthwhile cause. and we

weather update brought to you from the met office through the end of this week it will be more widely settled. still some cooler nights though, but still feeling quite warm in the day . feeling quite warm in the day. however, through the rest of this evening we've still got some wet to weather come for some wet to weather come for some north and western areas that will push into the south and east due to this weather front moving south and eastwards throughout this evening, so bringing some showery outbreaks of rain to the likes of north eastern england. perhaps the odd shower across eastern areas of england as well. that should generally clear away as the night goes on. so a clear and dry night to come once that rain does clear and we could see some mist and fog developing across more southern counties. so a fresher night with clearer skies. but that will make for a brighter start to thursday. so plenty of sunshine, particularly across eastern and southern areas of the uk, the north and west will see some heavier showers pushing in from western scotland first thing, so a wet start for western areas of scotland, parts of the highlands, the western isles temperatures only around 12 or 11 degrees. first thing more in the way of sunshine across parts of northern ireland and southern

areas of scotland . staying areas of scotland. staying largely dry now we could see the odd shower across parts of wales, southwest england, northwest england, in fact . but northwest england, in fact. but many central and eastern areas will be very much dry through the morning and actually through much of tomorrow. it's looking like a fairly fine day. light winds for much of england and wales. it will feel quite pleasant in the sunshine, but the air is going to be fresher tomorrow, so we'll lose that humid feel that we have had today. so temperatures will be a little bit lower today compared tomorrow compared to today. just in the lower 20s, 23 or 24 at best in the south and east, closer to those higher teens further north, we've got a fairly brisk breeze in the north it will stay quite fresh well into the evening as well, potentially some quite strong winds affecting the northern isles through thursday evening. but the showers should move away to the north and east through thursday, leaving a fine day quite widely through friday and saturday as well. a risk of showers arrives in the south from sunday, but by that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers ,

over 20,000 this year and more than 6000, almost 7000 now. in fact , since the labour party fact, since the labour party came into power. now that's a small town the size of buxton or harwich, and that's rising by the day. labour said they'd smashed the gangs. it appears the gangs didn't get the memo. and yesterday the grim crime statistics for the notting hill carnival were finally released with 349 arrests, eight stabbings, 61 police officers assaulted and 49 weapons seized, including three firearms. yet london's mayor sadiq khan, hadnt london's mayor sadiq khan, hadn't even commented upon the situation until we asked him. tune for in his astonishing statement. and that's all coming up over your next hour. statement. and that's all coming up over your next hour . so who up over your next hour. so who do you think you're kidding? mr starmer in berlin talking about a trade deal on freedom of movement on students and young

action on illegal migration. speaking earlier during a joint news conference with the german chancellor in berlin , he chancellor in berlin, he described it as a moment of opportunity to deepen links between the uk and germany . between the uk and germany. >> this treaty is part of a wider reset grounded in a new spirit of cooperation with our shared understanding that this will be developed at pace and that we hope to have agreed it by the end of the year. a britain reconnected resetting our relationship, rediscovering our relationship, rediscovering our common interests, delivering for working people . for working people. >> meanwhile, back in the uk, the chancellor has addressed sir keir starmer's warning that the autumn budget will be painful. speaking today in scotland, rachel reeves defended the government's decision on winter fuel payments. >> the truth is that these are not decisions that i wanted to make, but these are decisions we had to make given the inheritance that we face from

the conservative government, and there will be more difficult decisions to come in the budget later this year. that is the stark reality after the mess that the previous conservative government have left. this labour government to inherit. it means difficult decisions, but without difficult decisions we are going to face serious problems with our public finances. i will not take the risks that the conservatives have taken previously that would put our economy in danger. >> the ministry of justice says the immediate pressure on spaces in men's prisons in england and wales has eased significantly in the last 24 hours. the latest comments come after shadow leader of the house of commons, chris philp, called for more spaces in prisons following the release of new figures yesterday, showing there are just 100 spaces left in male prisons across england and wales. it comes after the activation of early dawn, where defendants in active court cases are kept in police cells until standard prison spaces open up

on friday. magistrates were told to delay jailing criminals as the number of people in prison hit a new weekly high during last year. >> every week there are about 100 additional net additional prison places were created by the previous justice secretary, alex chalk, so they were bringing on 100 more places each week than were being retired or withdrawn for refurbishment. so i think the solution to this is more prison places. and in the very short term, these rapid deployment cells are dcs are what i would like to be see being used. >> that's the shadow leader of the house of commons, chris philp. and this comes as cleveland police says an 11 year old child has been arrested over disorder in the middlesbrough riots. cleveland police said officers had detained a further 14 people in connection with the disorder on the 4th of august. sir keir starmer has condemned the violence seen at notting hill carnival, which left 61

police officers injured. the prime minister says i was very clear about the 2011 riots, which had a different genesis to the recent rise. but he added i will condemn anyone using violence. a man has been charged with attempted murder over the stabbing of a mother at notting hill carnival. 20 year old shaquille tebow has appeared in court today charged with the attempted murder of 32 year old cher maximum. she's in a coma after losing 20 units of blood and she's in a life threatening condition. two other men have been charged in relation to the same incident, and the men are brothers . in other news, the 28 brothers. in other news, the 28 year old man has been handed a suspended prison sentence after throwing items at nigel farage dunng throwing items at nigel farage during his general election campaign. video from the incident showed mr farage shielding his face while items believed to be coffee cups were thrown. appearing at barnsley magistrates court, josh greeley was sentenced to six weeks in prison, suspended for 12 months

downing street yesterday afternoon with that very gloomy message about painful decisions to come hotfooted it over to berlin with chancellor schulz today. many, many warm words talking about a treaty by the end of the year with germany. and now he has arrived in paris, he will be spending time with emmanuel macron. we see them embracing there. of course, they've already met. they met at they've already met. they met at the european political community. that's emmanuel macron's brainchild at black at blenheim palace earlier in the summer. they also met at the nato summit. there he is greeting macron's wife , brigitte greeting macron's wife, brigitte macron, so he's done quite a lot of international diplomacy already. sir keir starmer, even though he's only been prime minister less than two months, he went to nato within days of being , elected. so he went to nato within days of being, elected. so he's already formed relationships with these

leaders . he will be going, i leaders. he will be going, i understand, to the paralympic opening ceremony. understand, to the paralympic opening ceremony . and then opening ceremony. and then tomorrow morning he will be having a bilateral meeting with president macron. my understanding is they'll be talking about illegal migration again, amongst other issues. i think he'll also be talking to business leaders too. >> yeah, there's going to be a breakfast meeting tomorrow with french business leaders . and french business leaders. and that leads us to the conclusion that leads us to the conclusion that there may be a continuity of similar conversations in germany about trade. a mooted potential bespoke trade deal now , potential bespoke trade deal now, we talked earlier about donald tusk back in 2018, saying there would be no cherry picking. there'd be no possibility of bespoke deals. member state deals on the way out. but i wonder if the mood music has changed now. is there more of an appetite for the french to talk

to the uk, for berlin to talk to the uk ? not only because there's the uk? not only because there's been a change of management and a much more pro brussels management. now install in downing street has to be said, but is there, you think, potential for these member state deals, which might lead to a broader conversation with brussels and with strasbourg? >> well, certainly a lot of the sort of poison around brexit seems to have disappeared, doesn't it? of course, the eu were very, very cross with us for a very long time for daring to decide to leave. but there won't be any trade deals because they simply can't do that, because that is the remit of the european union. so trade deals , european union. so trade deals, particularly those are not on the table. >> katherine forster great stuff. now let's have a brexit ding dong. admit it, you've missed them, haven't you? is it time to rejoin the european union? is that the direction of travel? is that would that be a total betrayal of the 17.4

million? delighted to say i'm joined now by the former liberal democrat mp mark oaten , and of democrat mp mark oaten, and of course, by the former deputy chairman of the conservative party, james daly james. let's start with you. when you see sir keir starmer , tap dancing in keir starmer, tap dancing in berlin and then waltzing into paris , having tete a tete with paris, having tete a tete with european leaders, does this suggest to you that this might be the first inklings of the road to rejoin? >> well, we all know that he wants to rejoin. >> we all know that that's the plan. he may not have said it before the general election, but all this is the mood music in respect of it. >> it's complete fantasy. >> it's complete fantasy. >> typical keir starmer is talking about bespoke trade deals. >> as you last, contributor has just said martin, they can't be done. we can't have a trade deal with either. the french or the germans. and so it is all nonsense moon music to try to get the country to a point where he can put forward his argument as to why the country is going

to fall into the sea. the economy is going to be you know, billions in debt. if we don't start trading more with the european union, the united kingdom has grown more than the other g7 members within the european community. within the european community. within the european union this year, germany is in stagnation. why on earth we would want to use germany as the model for our economic advancement, but perhaps , you know, for labour, perhaps, you know, for labour, looking at the german government and the fanatical green policies of the coalition partners there, that perhaps is the encouragement for ed miliband with his complete disregard for energy prices going through the roof , for investing money in, roof, for investing money in, in, in the green. the, you know, green, shall we say , green, shall we say, technologies that are going to cost working people throughout this country an absolute fortune and cutting off you know, our oil and gas supplies from the nonh oil and gas supplies from the north sea, which is what we need to give people stability and a home grown energy policy. we are a great country, and i get fed up with listening to keir starmer trying to justify everything on the basis of

talking us down. and that's what all this is about, martin. >> okay . mark oaten, presumably >> okay. mark oaten, presumably a very different mood. music is filling your ears. presumably you'd be enamoured with the idea of jumping into bed with brussels. but what about the british electorate? is that what they want? >> i think they probably do now. >> i think they probably do now. >> i think they probably do now. >> i mean, after all of this nonsense, we've just heard from james, it echoes all of the nonsense we heard during the brexit debate. >> remember, all of these things were going to change. the world was going to be wonderful. after brexit, the british public are not stupid. they've seen it's chaos. >> they've seen it hasn't tackled the issues around immigration. >> they've been stuck at airports for hours on end trying to get into countries with passport delays. >> i think the british public are absolutely ready for a change. i'd love a referendum, and i think that keir starmer is at least starting to reach out and start to talk to some of those european countries. the problem, as in fact, james, and you have pointed out, is that he's limited as to what he can do. it's a ridiculous situation he's in. he's going to have to have separate talks with germany

tomorrow in paris. then what? >> italy, spain, the netherlands, it goes on and on and on. >> it will be much better to settle this issue once and for all. get us back where we belong into the eu . into the eu. >> james daly. >> james daly. >> well, i hope the lib dems and the labour party go to the country on the basis of let's get back in the european union with open borders and no control on immigration whatsoever. and let's see how many lib dem mps are left at the end at the next election in respect of that and what you've heard, what you've heard, if i can just finish my time. >> gentlemen, gentlemen, please, one at a time. this won't work if we shout james daly, finish your point and then we'll get back to you. mark i'll just make my point. >> and this is typical of the argument that he's put forward by the elite in london. mark is more concerned about going on his holiday, probably to tuscany, and waiting three quarters of an hour in a queue, then our country's future and giving people all the opportunities that brexit is going to give in all parts of the country, and it is going to be a great success story. if we get politicians in our country behind it . behind it. >> mar—a—lago jo cox away you wait until those new visa

requirements come in in october, people trying to travel abroad are not just going on holiday to tuscany, it's hard nosed businessmen like myself trying to work abroad who find it extremely frustrating with the endless bureaucracy , endless red endless bureaucracy, endless red tape that has now been brought in, making our business lives extremely difficult. >> everybody is going to have to now pay for a visa to get into the eu. it's going to cause absolute mayhem. and as for your point about it not tackling immigration, you had 14 years to try and tackle immigration. you failed miserably and you're still blaming it on the eu. the only way to tackle this is to work with france and other countries. and that's what we should be doing. james >> well, well, the point is, martin, is that if you when i was first considering the brexit question, basically what martin is saying is and this is what we've seen, that if you don't do exactly what the europeans said, european union say, if you don't buy into their ideology, if you don't agree with them, they are going to do everything possible to crush you and make your life difficult. this idea that there

is not a common shared purpose between the people in the united kingdom and the people of europe is utter nonsense. i have not met one politician or one person who doesn't want to work in the closest possible way with the european union, whilst also maintaining our independence and sovereignty. but it's the fantasy world that's created by the left. they try to paint the those who believe in an independent britain in a way that just simply is not true. and can you imagine it, martin, that the nature of the relationship that we are being asked when the european union is, you do absolutely every single thing i say or else that is it. you're not part of this. whereas i thought that the countries of the european union, which we have shown over many, many centuries, are friends working together. and brexit is all about that. what it what it's turned into in this country is the liberal left. do not like it, especially the middle class liberal left and they will do anything and say anything to ensure to and scare the people of the united kingdom in in the situation we've had, we've had keir starmer already in the garden of 10 downing street

smoke and mirrors in respect to the economy to justify some of the economy to justify some of the huge inflation busting pay rises he's given to his union friends. it is as per normal. the left are saying anything to get their political political ideology through . ideology through. >> okay, mark, in the interest of balance, final word to you, sir. >> it's not a left middle class trendy thing. >> this is now popular across the country . james, have you got the country. james, have you got the country. james, have you got the guts to have another referendum ? i have, have you ? referendum? i have, have you? >> well what keir starmer, what keir starmer should have done. he should have had the guts to put that in his manifesto, if that's what he wanted to do. and so should the liberal democrats. but perhaps the liberal democrats, you know, it appears that their only policy is going back into the european union, but perhaps they should concentrate more on productivity and some of the things that really impact the lives of people throughout this country , people throughout this country, rather than their ideological preoccupations . preoccupations. >> okay, gentlemen, a spirited debate with both sides of the argument there. former liberal democrat mp mark oaten and of course, james day, the former

deputy chair of the conservative party. let's admit it, lads, haven't we missed arguing about brexit? superb stuff. i hope you enjoyed that as much as i do. thank you to you also, katherine forster for joining thank you to you also, katherine forster forjoining me in the studio. now brace yourselves, it's studio. now brace yourselves, wsfime studio. now brace yourselves, it's time for the great british giveaway now and your chance to win £30,000 tax free cash. you've got to hurry up though, as lines close at 5:00 pm this friday. here's all the details that you need to be our next winner . winner. >> it's the final week to see how you could win an incredible £30,000 in cash. it's extra cash that could really make a difference to your coming year. you could find yourself on that houday you could find yourself on that holiday you've always wanted to buy that treat that always seemed out of reach, or just send some of those day to day financial stresses packing. time is ticking. get your entry in now for another chance to win £30,000 in tax free cash, text cash to 63232. text cost £2 plus one standard network rate

labour government are finding out that harsh reality. just months into the job, with very significant numbers still continuing to come across 613 so far today . this morning far today. this morning throughout mid—morning and into the afternoon. and we're told by our producer down in kent that there is the possibility of more boats trying to make it on high tide this evening, and that comes on top of 526 migrants who came across on eight small boats yesterday . more than 20,000 for yesterday. more than 20,000 for the year. so far, almost 7000 since labour came to power. of course. what does sir keir starmer promised to do? well, he's promised to smash the gangs. he's scrapped the rwanda deterrence scheme, which by now, according to the previous government, would have seen flights taking off for the east

african nation. and we would have been able to see by now whether that was the deterrent that the conservative government thought it would be. that no longer is going to happen because it's been scrapped. and today in berlin , sir keir today in berlin, sir keir starmer doubled down on that , sir keir today in berlin, sir keir starmer doubled down on that decision to scrap the rwanda decision to scrap the rwanda scheme. this is what he told a scheme. this is what he told a news . conference. news . conference. news. conference. >> i have long said before the news. conference. >> i have long said before the election that i thought the election that i thought the rwanda scheme was a gimmick, rwanda scheme was a gimmick, which is why we stood it down which is why we stood it down immediately. but nonetheless it immediately. but nonetheless it is very important that we take is very important that we take back control of our borders . i back control of our borders . i back control of our borders. i have long been convinced that back control of our borders. i have long been convinced that the best way, the most effective the best way, the most effective way to do that is to take down way to do that is to take down the gangs that are running the the gangs that are running the vile trade of putting people in vile trade of putting people in dangerous situations across dangerous situations across europe and across the channel, europe and across the channel, and i said before the election and i said before the election that i would invest political that i would invest political

capital in making sure we could capital in making sure we could work more effectively with our partners in taking down those gangs. partners in taking down those gangs . and that's why i am very gangs. and that's why i am very pleased today that we have had a

as the national even, as far as the national crime agency is concerned, recruited the additional 100 investigators. they're just embarking on that process now. this is a multinational, sophisticated criminal enterprise dismantling these organised crime groups will be extremely difficult. >> mark white excellent coverage on a very, very busy day across the english channel. thank you very much for joining the english channel. thank you very much forjoining us on gb news. and joining me now is the international human rights lawyer and great friend of the show, david. hey david, welcome to the show. a grim milestone passed 20,000 this year, a town the size of buxton, 7000 since the size of buxton, 7000 since the labour party came into power. are you hearing anything coming out of this government that you believe will stem this tide? any time soon? smashing the gangs seems like quite a tide? any time soon? smashing the gangs seems like quite a slow and laborious process . slow and laborious process . slow and laborious process. >> good afternoon. martin. i slow and laborious process. >> good afternoon. martin. i think, you know, i'd agree with think, you know, i'd agree with a lot of what mark white said. a lot of what mark white said. >> i mean, britain effectively >> i mean, britain effectively

needs to brace itself. needs to brace itself. >> these numbers are going to >> these numbers are going to get a lot worse before they even get a lot worse before they even start getting better. and, you start getting better. and, you know, as he said, the recruiting know, as he said, the recruiting of these extra officers and of these extra officers and that's if that works, if this that's if that works, if this new border force that they've new border force that they've discussed will actually have any discussed will actually have any effect that hasn't really effect that hasn't really started yet. it's not going to started yet. it's not going to be in place for a long time. be in place for a long time. started yet. it's not going to be in place for a long time . so be in place for a long time. so these are things that are, you started yet. it's not going to be in place for a long time . so be in place for a long time. so these are things that are, you know, there's no quick fix know, there's no quick fix there. medium to long term there. medium to long term projects . and so there's a lot projects . and so there's a lot projects. and so there's a lot more pain in terms of, you know, projects. and so there's a lot more pain in terms of, you know, the numbers going up, coming the numbers going up, coming over and nothing seemingly being over and nothing seemingly being done for quite a while. done for quite a while. >> and david, in terms of the >> and david, in terms of personnel numbers, a hundred extra officers were the greatest will in the world. this feels like peashooters against tanks . like peashooters against tanks. we're facing thousands and thousands coming across the channel. a hundred people. david, i've been to bigger barbecues. >> well, you're right, i mean , >> well, you're right, i mean, it's an insignificant number. >> and you know , similarly, you >> and you know, similarly, you also need to see significant investment in the processing of these claims. >> more people, better quality

people and soon? smashing

confidence that any time soon, an integrated european network will in any way reduce these numbers any time soon. coming to britain? >> i mean, the short answer to thatis >> i mean, the short answer to that is not at the moment. >> i mean, this is a this is a europe wide problem, if not a global one. and there, you know , global one. and there, you know, there's an awful lot that needs to be done. and they are all that all takes a lot of time and there needs to be some very difficult and serious conversations. i think looking at the types of human rights and what we protect and what is an asylum seeker and what isn't, and those are conversations which i don't think the current people in charge of europe want to have. but until you start looking at that, i don't think you're going to see significant changes yet. >> and , david, may i ask you >> and, david, may i ask you quickly if i could the previous government, rishi sunaks government, rishi sunaks government, was very much derailed by human rights lawyers, particularly around rwanda. if the labour party start getting tough, they talk about 14,000 deportations before the end of the year. i think if

that happens, you must believe in santa . but that happens, you must believe in santa. but on that happens, you must believe in santa . but on a serious in santa. but on a serious point, do you think that the same people that tried to stop the conservative party may come back to try and halt the labour party ? party? >> well, absolutely. i think, you know, if that if there's a saying potential breaches of human rights, the genuine ones and obviously, as we all know, there's some some people out there's some some people out there that that will help people that are not genuine. we've all seen those stories. so i think you're going to see that. one thing that i've picked up on is that certainly in the in the recent weeks, that because of perhaps the pressure on all the, all the, all the numbers, you're seeing genuine asylum seekers that are genuinely here genuinely need asylum. you're seeing them get denied. i think more and more and that's a worrying, worrying status as well. i think . well. i think. >> okay. david. hey, it's always a delight to have you on the show. it's been too long, so we'll speak again soon as those walls still to come between now and 5:00, including sadiq khan, finally breaks his silence on the notting hill carnival exclusively to us on gb news. but first, it's time for your headlines. and here's tatiana

next. welcome back. it's 541. the final furlong i'm martin daubney on gb news now. the boss of ryanair has suggested putting a two drink limit in place at airports to lessen the risk of

in—flight violence. we'll discuss that next. but first, as we've been talking about throughout the week, this year's notting hill carnival was marred by violent disorder and criminality, with the metropolitan police confirming yesterday they made 349 arrests over the weekend for a variety of offences, including eight stabbings, drug possession and assaulting an emergency worker. 61 were assaulted. however, even as a 32 year old woman lay in hospital fighting for her life on sunday, sadiq khan did not comment on the carnage at the carnival. instead, he was taking to social media to talk about the new memorial he has commissioned to the victims of the transatlantic slave trade, and that on monday, mayor cohen once again ignored the elephant in the room and instead retweeted about london based beavers that are improving our water quality. and then he followed that up, not with a tweet condemning those who attacked police officers and other emergency workers, but with a tweet about the expansion

of water fountains on the london underground. in fact, the only message mayor khan posted about the notting hill carnival was at 6:36 pm. on sunday's family day, praising the carnival celebration of caribbean culture. well, at 9 pm. that evening, the met posted that there had been three stabbings and one of which was near fatal, with 90 arrests, including assaults on 15 coppers. nothing at all about the violence that marred that carnival weekend. let's get the thoughts now of the former london assembly member peter whittle. peter, welcome to the show, an astonishing state of affairs. i think you would agree, terrible violence marred the notting hill carnival, and yet the cat seemed to have sadiq khan's tongue. why? | to have sadiq khan's tongue. why? i know it's sort of predictable . predictable. >> disgraceful, martin, but predictable, i think that the notting hill carnival is sort of

this sacrosanct event, and because at city hall, you know where i was for five years, diversity is our greatest strength. that is their mantra. so, you know, in a way, they're going to be very loathe to criticise anything which in some ways undermines that idea , now, ways undermines that idea, now, when it comes to something like this carnival over the past, what, five, six years, we've seen hundreds of arrests and stabbings. as you said, we had it again this year, we also, of course, have had an acid attack this year, but, i have to say to you that here we are on wednesday and the mayor has finally decided, apparently, to say something. i don't know what, that's purely i would imagine , just out of some kind imagine, just out of some kind of pressure. but along with the government generally, there's been a kind of silence about this. if this had been a saint

george's day parade and there had been stabbings or there had been arrests, you would not have heard the end of it from him. and indeed from the government. it would have been there from the very start, from saturday if it happened on a saturday, right the way through. but there is this kind of, well, not just misplaced sensitivity, but this i think a kind of fear, if you like, of offending people who, after all, vote, largely for sadiq khan. >> you know, peter whittle, you're exactly right. i was so confused and exasperated by the lack of statement from sadiq khan. we decided to take matters into our own hands, and we reached out to sadiq khan's office earlier on today, and we finally got a statement. this is the first time, to my knowledge, that the london mayor has spoken on those events, and here is that statement. it says the mayor's thoughts are with the families of the four people who were who are in hospital , families of the four people who were who are in hospital, as well as the police officers who were injured during the weekend.

this violence is simply unacceptable and does not reflect the majority of people who celebrate a peacefully over the weekend, the mayor would like to pay tribute to the hard work of the organisers and all of our brilliant police officers and emergency service personnel for everything they did to help londoners. this weekend. peter whittle, i put it to you that is a fine and noble statement, but why did we have to rattle it out of sadiq khan? >> but also why is it written down? why is he not saying anything in public, you know, why has it taken, as you say, this long, i think it's for the reasons that i've just said . reasons that i've just said. he's got form in this way. martin, i don't remember him saying very, very much when we had the huge gaza demonstrations. if you remember, and we had these genocidal slogans put up onto big ben , you slogans put up onto big ben, you know, from the river to the sea. very little from sadiq khan

then. and i think, as i said , then. and i think, as i said, that if this had been another form of demonstration of protest or parade or whatever, i think there would have been no questions that it would have been he would have been coming out all guns blazing, he said in that one of his tweets that carnival is part of the fabric, you know, of our city of london, i don't really necessarily go along with that. i think it's actually quite a young thing in london's terms. it's been around london's terms. it's been around london for a thousand years, it carnival started in the 1960s. it's got progressively more violent as it's gone on. okay the fabric of our society are the fabric of our society are the very things that actually he attacks our statues and our buildings and our history. >> okay, peter . well, thank you >> okay, peter. well, thank you for your opinions. we have to leave it there. and thank you for the mayor for responding to us now, still to come, should be banned at airports? debating that next. i'm martin daubney on gb news,

welcome back. well ryanair chief michael o'leary has proposed a two pint ban limit on air passengers. earlier on we had a debate about this with the aviation expert sally gethin and the former flight attendants, amy ansel. >> and as the crew you're there to get your customers there and those flying from point a to point b safely. and that's really the most important thing that we want to do. and when customers are drunk, they're obviously going to be disruptive. they're going to be confrontational, they're going to be physically aggressive. and that just makes the job so hard to do. and ultimately puts themselves and fellow passengers in danger and risks us getting you there safely in the end, which is what we all want, don't we? >> okay, so sally gethin, i put

it to you that again, why should the actions of a few bad apples prevent the rest of us from having a drink or two pint limit? i'm not going to fly the plane. i'm a passenger. >> i think, because the consequence is so huge to having any disruptive behaviour on board a flight. i mean the cost, for example, in the worst case scenario of a flight having to divert can be up to £80,000 800 £0 and also your 30 300 zero feet up in the air. it's a very intense environment anyway. it's very intimidating for people to be faced with drunk or unruly passenger behaviour, and it could compromise the on board safety, let alone being able to follow evacuation procedures in the event of an emergency. >> well, if we can all agree that outright abusive and dangerous drunks on a flight are a bad thing. amy anslow surely it's the airline's responsibility to weed these people out of the gates? don't let them on the flight . let them on the flight. >> well, i think look, if you have two drinks in the terminal, that's fine. but the problem is

when people have more and more dnnks when people have more and more drinks because of flight delays, that's the problem. >> well, i think that's the best part of being at an airport. i seem to be out. i seem to be sandwiched between two people who don't agree with me. what i'm saying is i think you shouldn't be abusive on flights. you shouldn't be allowed on. if you're completely plastered and going to cause you know , going to cause you know, disruption to the travel of others. sally but surely the idea that we should close all the pubs or limit everybody because of the actions of a couple of morons? that's not the way it works. we should be free to enjoy our holiday . and that to enjoy our holiday. and that starts at the airport. >> look, martin, you're not alone. a recent survey found that over 50% of passengers were not in favour of a ban of any kind. this debate has been sort of bubbling under for a year or more now. i mean, michael o'leary has come out and sort of called it out, and that will give more, it'll give it more traction. and the government's already looking at ways to be

able to solve this problem . able to solve this problem. unfortunately, it's not just from the uk. for example, ryanair said that passengers departing germany and ireland can sometimes be disruptive , and can sometimes be disruptive, and it's fuelled by the stag and hen do's, the sort of boozy holidays , do's, the sort of boozy holidays, particularly on low cost carriers easyjet and ryanair in particular. you know, they have the biggest problem. so something in the end, something has to be done to address this final word to you, amy anzel. >> how do we do this? what breathalyse people before they get on, perhaps? >> i mean, whatever it takes, right, to get there safely. so although you want to give people the freedom to drink and enjoy, maybe they're going on holiday, maybe they're going on holiday, maybe they're going on holiday, maybe they're going on a half business, half holiday kind of trip. you want them to enjoy themselves, but also get to their destination safely. so if it requires a breathalyser or some sort of test before they get on board, i think that's fine. and as a former flight attendant, i think that would be

beneficial to help everyone get there safely. ultimately . there safely. ultimately. >> above that, i find that astonishing. the idea that we breathalyse passengers breathalyse passengers breathalyse the pilots, they're the ones flying it. they can have a two pint limit. i'll tell you what, michael o'leary. stop charging so much for booze on the plane. stop charging us £50 to take a suitcase . people to take a suitcase. people should be allowed to have a dnnk should be allowed to have a drink at the airport, so long as they do it with moderation and do it sensibly. stop being party poopers. it's always lunchtime in an airport. surely that's where the fun starts now. thank you for joining where the fun starts now. thank you forjoining us on the show you for joining us on the show today. i've enjoyed your company. up next is dewbs& co. that'd be great. and of course nigel farage in the studio at seven tonight. i'll be back at three. have a great evening . three. have a great evening. >> looks like things are heating up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. >> hello. good afternoon.

welcome to your latest gb news weather update. brought to you from the met office through the end of this week it will be more widely settled. still some cooler nights though, but still feeling quite warm in the day . feeling quite warm in the day. however, through the rest of this evening we've still got some wet to weather come for some wet to weather come for some north and western areas that will push into the south and east due to this weather front moving south and eastwards throughout this evening, so bringing some showery outbreaks of rain to the likes of north eastern england. perhaps the odd shower across eastern areas of england as well. that should generally clear away as the night goes on. so a clear and dry night to come once that rain does clear and we could see some mist and fog developing across more southern counties. so a fresher night with clearer skies. but that will make for a brighter start to thursday. so plenty of sunshine, particularly across eastern and southern areas of the uk, the north and west will see some heavier showers pushing in from western scotland first thing, so a wet start for western areas of scotland, parts of the highlands, the western isles temperatures only around 12 or 11 degrees. first thing more in the way of sunshine across parts

of northern ireland and southern areas of scotland . staying areas of scotland. staying largely dry now we could see the odd shower across parts of wales, southwest england, northwest england, in fact . but northwest england, in fact. but many central and eastern areas will be very much dry through the morning and actually through much of tomorrow. it's looking like a fairly fine day. light winds for much of england and wales, so it will feel quite pleasant in the sunshine. but the air is going to be fresher tomorrow, so we'll lose that humid feel that we have had today. so temperatures will be a little bit lower today compared tomorrow compared to today. just in the lower 20s, 23 or 24 at best in the south and east, closer to those higher teens . closer to those higher teens. further north, we've got a fairly brisk breeze in the north it will stay quite fresh well into the evening as well, potentially some quite strong winds affecting the northern isles through thursday evening. but the showers should move away to the north and east through thursday, leaving a fine day quite widely through friday and saturday as well. a risk of showers arrives in the south from sunday, but by that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers ,
