legislation to ease the migrant crisis. group says firstly people should be more rapidly returned to safe countries come from. and secondly when claims are made that people have unwillingly been trafficked to the uk they should be sent back without and parties including the graham brady and esther mcvey say amendments would make a strong deterrent for those thinking of crossing the channel gb news say more than gb news sources say more than 450 people have been tossed intercepted on nine small boats. so today. the david davis is the author the letter and he says this could send migrants home within days . so if we've got the within days. so if we've got the gumption to do it with all new arrivals from a safe country i don't mean from syria or where they might have a claim but from a safe country, then then frankly , it should knock out frankly, it should knock out almost all of the 12,000 the year that we're looking at the most most . national grid could most most. national grid could pay most most. national grid could pay households to cut their power usage for the first time

tomorrow in a bid to avoid. the operator's warning outages at a nuclear power in france has put pressures on supplies and it might need to use new demand flexibility service households may be asked to reduce that usage at certain times in the day and will be paid for any reductions they make. a decision is expected. we'll bring it to you right here on. the government is launching a £1 billion scheme to make middle income homes more energy efficient. the three year scheme will see hundreds of, efficient. the three year scheme will see hundreds of , thousands will see hundreds of, thousands of homes receive loft and cavity wall insulation from the spring. households that don't currently get support to upgrade their homes prioritised . a homes will be prioritised. a fifth of the funding will be set aside for the most vulnerable . aside for the most vulnerable. the secretary grant the business secretary grant shapps will help shapps us the measures will help households reduce energy households reduce their energy consumption . this billion pounds consumption. this billion pounds which is in addition to a lot more money that's been provided previously, is to allow anyone in any kind of housing to be private rent. it could be their own home social housing. so to improve the property in order to

sure that it meets those highest mandates and that will save people quite a lot of money . the people quite a lot of money. the shadow business secretary jonathan reynolds told gb news labour wants to insulate 19 million homes as soon as possible . it's about ten years possible. it's about ten years too late. i mean, this should have been a quick, early win for the reducing people's fuel bills and doing the right thing by the environment, i mean, it's a win win. why it taken so long? this government have the ambition or the direction . of course i the direction. of course i welcome when come little welcome when they come little bit our territory, whether bit onto our territory, whether it's greater it's a tax or greater efficiency, ambition but they've got nowhere near the comprehensive programme. they need to get this country onto the right path. i promised i'd you an update. well, here it is. breaking news. national has breaking news. national grid has decided not to introduce its scheme tomorrow. the scheme which would pay households for cutting their power usage. the move would have been the first ever live run of the operator's demand flexibility service . as demand flexibility service. as i said, designed to ease pressure on the country's energy grid and avoid blackouts. scheme is

avoid blackouts. the scheme is being tested twice. it follows warnings from french power plants that supply might drop more than half of the nuclear reactors run by edf closed as a result of maintenance and problems. we'll bring you developments when we get them . developments when we get them. the government is considering asking the armed forces to stand for in staff during possible strikes winter. health officials are drawing up contingencies to cover frontline workers as ambulance drivers and consider joining nurses in upcoming walkouts. but health secretary steve barclay says they're concerned about the impact, the action could have on patients. well, no formal request has been made . the department of health made. the department of health to the military. but of course, we will look part of our normal contingency plans and a range of opfions. contingency plans and a range of options . the priority for me contingency plans and a range of options. the priority for me is to continue the dialogue with the trade unions, with the rcn . the trade unions, with the rcn. i've been extremely clear that my door is open. they raised a range of issues , not just pay, range of issues, not just pay, but also working conditions. patients and so i'm happy to

continue that dialogue . the continue that dialogue. the foreign secretary's urging the chinese government to listen to its people. after a weekend of protests against strict covid restrictions. ten people were killed in a tower block that sparked civil across the country. claim that coronavirus measures in place may have hindered people's escape from the fire . the demonstrators are the fire. the demonstrators are now calling president xi jinping's resignation . the uk jinping's resignation. the uk foreign secretary, james cleverly is urging the chinese government to listen to their demands . is government to listen to their demands. is rare government to listen to their demands . is rare that the demands. is rare that the chinese protest publicly like . chinese protest publicly like. they know the risks . in fact, they know the risks. in fact, some of the protesters are saying know the risks. but it's something feel incredibly strongly about . and as i say, strongly about. and as i say, because they are a rarity, i think that both international should take notice. but more importantly the chinese government itself . listen to government itself. listen to what the chinese people saying to them. you're up to date on gb

news. i'll bring you more as. it happens. now back to . happens. now back to. mark yes, he's very much patrick christys here on gb news. now, within the last few minutes, big breaking news. this is being confirmed that almost 450 people have crossed the channel today alone . that's in at least nine alone. that's in at least nine small boats after almost a fortnight without crossings due to bad weather. the news breaking right here on gb news, of course, back in westminster this, growing tory anger about britain being taken for a ride when it comes to the asylum system. 50 employees have written to rishi to get written to rishi sunak to get channel migrants back more channel migrants sent back more quickly. should quickly. the backbench should demand that economic migrants coming from safe countries like albania which by the way, now both major admit is a safe country can be deported straight away. a downing street spokesperson has responded to calls saying the illegal

crossings and manipulation of the system from our ability to provide refuge to those in genuine need . and of course, genuine need. and of course, this comes amid something that we're going to be talking about later on in the show about growing concern people when it comes to issues public health are some migrants with diseases picked up being dispersed now across the uk difficult to just talk that because you don't want to stigmatise people. but we can't just bury our heads in the sand and ignore it can we now. right. okay. so let's with that big breaking news happening right here gb the first right here on gb news. the first full news almost 450 full breaking news almost 450 people have crossing this channelin people have crossing this channel in nine small boats. so today. me in the studio today. joining me in the studio today. joining me in the studio to give the latest is our very homeland security editor, mark white. the latest? white. mark what is the latest? well, course, was the 13th of well, of course, was the 13th of november. the last time we had good weather day that allowed hundreds of people to come across in small boats in the more than two weeks since. nothing come across the channel now . a break in the weather now. a break in the weather flat. calm out there in the

channel and that's seen these boats push off from the coasts of north france . nine boats so of north france. nine boats so far almost 450 people are sources have told us that's it for the moment. they've been intercepting these boats throughout the. there no sightings at the moment but you will often get later in the day another surge of boats coming. so let's just watch this space also tomorrow and some other days this week we're expecting good weather conditions so the prospect is that we could hundreds even thousands of people crossing channel throughout today . so you're throughout today. so you're expecting to see an increase in channel crossings despite the fact that just because it's winter it doesn't necessarily mean that the conditions are too bad. clearly these people bad. and clearly these people coming now been coming across now have not been deterred by of mass deterred by reports of mass crowding at detention or the threat of the deportation or anything like this that just goes keep coming. yeah. i mean,

we saw last year actually in, november was the busiest month of the year. and the reason is a lot of these people on the other side of the channel have been involved in the farming sector involved in the farming sector in france picking vegetables. and i like season has ended so many of them then head to try to get over the channel to the uk this year it's been different . this year it's been different. it's been very bad weather in november, so that's not happened . a lot of pressure now. patrick on the government to do something about not just the numbers across but the issues of albanians who many feel have no right to asylum coming from a country and also the health concerns about those coming across with diseases like diphtheria. i've been taking a look at the pressures facing the home and the government . just home and the government. just first light the board of force vessel could be seen approaching

harbour with the first of hundreds of migrants picked in the channel this morning . around the channel this morning. around 50 people were taken board typhoon for the journey the dover processing centre for more than a fortnight. dover processing centre for more than a fortnight . bad weather than a fortnight. bad weather has largely attempts by the criminal gangs to push boats . criminal gangs to push boats. the beaches of north france in since the 13th of november. just one small boat with 36 people on board has made it across the engush board has made it across the english channel. but conditions are now flat, calm , meaning some are now flat, calm, meaning some of the thousands who've been waiting in various makeshift around dunkirk and are being funnelled down to the beaches and on to the boats, increasing the frustrated that the government inability to get grip on the crisis around conservative mps have written to the prime minister demanding he introduce emergency legislation

to deal particular with the number of i'll be indians arriving in small boats. they want all albanians rapidly removed back to their own country . and danny, who claim to country. and danny, who claim to have been traffic choked, also returned home. one of the problems is the longer you take, the more appeals you get . harsh the more appeals you get. harsh truth if they here for a couple of weeks, they'll find a british lawyer and away they go . if lawyer and away they go. if they're here for a couple, they'll meet they'll meet somebody. get married have children. and then then the story is over. you know, they can stay because they have family rights . so the kicking do family rights. so the kicking do it better. are you concerned the spread of other diseases. some secretary it is yet more pressure . the home secretary pressure. the home secretary already dealing with the consequences of migrants who were infected with diphtheria being farmed out to very as hotels around the uk even though they were highly infectious. well, the risk is very low,

partly because there's very high uptake of vaccination within the british public in the first place, but also we had a targeted action of vaccinations at ftx . and so far, 100 people at ftx. and so far, 100 people were vaccinated before they actually left ftx. and it's something that uk hate to say on monitoring extremely closely and that's why they took the targeted action that they did. it is a growing health crisis within a migrant crisis that shows no sign of slowing with good weather condition throughout most of this week . throughout most of this week. authorities are braced the possibility that those more could cross the channel in the days ahead . mark white gb news days ahead. mark white gb news yes, exactly . that breaking news yes, exactly. that breaking news is that nine boats have been recovered today from the channel recovered today from the channel, almost 450 people today alone. after a bit, a lull for bad weather. but to go out here, ladies and gentlemen because 50 conservative mpas have now written to little too late, some

people are saying it's about time. others are saying the prime minister to say we need an urgent change in our law. albanian are recognised as a safe country , not just by safe country, not just by frankly loads of other nations . frankly loads of other nations. now two, the two major now by two, the two major political parties right here in britain, both labour and conservatives. and i think finally recognition our finally a recognition that our legal needs to change. someone could rejected for asylum, could be rejected for asylum, i.e. we don't think fleeing anything, they can claim anything, but they can claim that modern slavery, human angle which makes very difficult to deport them that according to many employees in vast of the british public, frankly needs to be changed. the also other massive topic is this spread of diseases , the potential spread diseases, the potential spread of diseases. we don't want to stigmatise anyone. it's a difficult to talk about, difficult topic to talk about, which is why i suspect many of the outlets are not but the news outlets are not it but i'm comfortable as it may be if it's true, then it's a problem for people who have people with various diseases being dispersed across kingdom , across the united kingdom, pubuc across the united kingdom, public health concerns and rightly so. but back to that letter of 50 conservative mps , letter of 50 conservative mps,

the prime minister urging to get a grip on this migrant gb news is political reporter is live in westminster for us now epicentre of this letter olivia it seems to centre around change in the law well as you say not listen to it some people saying it's too little too late. we well it comes from a number very senior conservative mp so you've got liam fox, their former cabinet secretary graham brady, chairman of the 1922 committee, who it should be noted doesn't often speak out that loudly about very controversial political matters .then controversial political matters . then of course you've got gbs, owen , esther mcvey, big owen, esther mcvey, big important voice in the conservative. so it's big beast speaking to rishi sunak about this issue and the amendment which they proposing is the modern slavery legislation does sound quite logical . david davis sound quite logical. david davis has been doing the media say i spoken to gb news and what he's saying is that if people are being tracked to overseas person, if they come to britain

and say that they've been trafficked here against their will, we should be able to return them to their native albania without any questions asked because if they are against their will, then then the kindest and most humane thing to do would be to send them back. that's the logic behind this amendment. the mps, if you've written this letter, think be think that would actually be very to get this change very simple to get this change the through. but the legislation through. but it's not all clear that that is the case the modern slavery law which has been shown to be a sort of loophole in our immigration system , was written immigration system, was written up immigration system, was written ”p by immigration system, was written up by theresa may and was as far as she was concerned, the sort of crown jewel in her time as prime minister. so she's written it quite tightly and trying to change it now might be rather difficult. this is course against the backdrop of rishi sunak having quite a lot of other problems to contend with. there's a rebellion on windfarms and of course the strikes which threaten to cripple the country . the period leading up to christmas . yes, indeed. olivia,

christmas. yes, indeed. olivia, thank you very much. summarised as ever. olivia our political correspondent, live . correspondent, live. westminster, if you're just joining us, the big breaking news is that almost 450 migrants have crossed channel so far have crossed the channel so far today in nine boats. that number expected after a low in expected to rise after a low in weather. also on top of that yes 50 mp5 weather. also on top of that yes 50 mps now writing to rishi soon what's going to changing the law really. interesting point there is and i think it's one of those things that's so actually that i can't believe that a lot of us didn't up earlier didn't come up with it earlier on, which if people are on, which is if people are getting rejected for asylum claims of claims which frankly loads of them they get them all when they get processed, that means that what we're saying is we think why you've safe now you've come from is safe now both political parties, both major political parties, the the conservative the labour and the conservative party the of and party now hold the hands of and admit that albania, admit freely that albania, indeed a safe country . so what indeed a safe country. so what these people do when they're rejected they were rejected is claim that they were trafficked under modern trafficked here under modern slavery. makes complete slavery. well it makes complete sense doesn't it? sense then, doesn't it? you don't to be here. surely don't want to be here. surely you are here against your your own country is well, why own country is safe. well, why can't we you back the more can't we send you back the more quickly to me anyway quickly and that to me anyway

would perfect sense. your would make perfect sense. your views dot uk. the views views gb news dot uk. the views are in malcolm already saying i think it's to everyone except the government that as long as the government that as long as the border and the rnli keep picking them up, the migrants will keep coming. i would suggest, malcolm, that yes, people will agree with you that keep emails coming in. but keep these emails coming in. but if there is that deterrent is basically your excuse of modern slavery. whilst are slavery. whilst we are sympathetic towards will still mean a ticket home, that mean a return ticket home, that could be the deterrent . and dare could be the deterrent. and dare i it's a lot easier than i say it's a lot easier than getting on seats to a plane getting bums on seats to a plane to everyone. we have covered to everyone. but we have covered this a lot the show but as this a lot on the show but as long as the cost of living crisis continues, public services increasingly crisis continues, public services are increasingly crisis continues, public services are rising creasingly crisis continues, public services are rising ineasingly tensions are rising in communities . migrants are being communities. migrants are being housed in hotels now. concerns raised about the conditions in some of these processing centres. there's been reports, of course, about overcrowding, massive overcrowding adding i'm sure that's true because the detention were not to detention were not built to house the sheer of people coming across channel. but there's also mass concerns not just about

pubuc mass concerns not just about public when it comes to who some of these are. why are they in hotels right around the uk but also how healthy some of these immigrants are? because they'll be massive reports of farea and other and people concerned that's going to be spread around that's going to be spread around that area and they're right to be concerned about the residents. skegness, which is a busy tourist hub on the lincolnshire coastline, have demanded answers their demanded answers from their local mp. our reporter will hollis sent us this just before we play. listen very carefully to what the local mp says because a comment to because i've got a comment to make. back this play make. on the back of this play at shooting. well why wasn't the officer . with a at shooting. well why wasn't the officer. with a community at boiling point. the local trying to cool tensions as they are from some of the most war torn and troubled . sitting on and troubled. sitting on britain's edge. skegness is at the centre of the migrant row , the centre of the migrant row, passionate about, you know . the

passionate about, you know. the residents i live in and a lot of us are feeling very safe. we don't run the background for these people whether from the dawn, whether they actually vote in the get free in away from the get free medical treatment. we get to a doctor in skegness not everyone is worried . one ukrainian woman is worried. one ukrainian woman questioned . she was welcomed so questioned. she was welcomed so warmly . these men are met with warmly. these men are met with hostility . five hotels of being hostility. five hotels of being used by more 200 asylum seekers . the home office struggles , . the home office struggles, with processing delays and a lack accommodation skegness matt warman says future is uncertain but understands people's concern when they say for instance we want to know when a hotel might stop being used. i think it's right . as i say, i'm honest and right. as i say, i'm honest and say, look , i can't give you say, look, i can't give you a date right now. what i can do is apply the pressure to home secretary to the government . secretary to the government. this is a situation that those people themselves is not acceptable. we've got to move from it as quickly as possible. more than 2 million visitors

descend on skegness each year, but out of season it's quiet and. hotels are largely empty. the office says that accommodation needed for 37,000 asylum seekers here in the uk . asylum seekers here in the uk. some locals say trade is already turning away from town. danny and adra are on the town council without tourism. it's the major industry that we have on the coast. tourists and if we lose the tourists then skegness will be in trouble. these are here, unfortunately, all have just gone through , you know, perilous gone through, you know, perilous waters to get our shores with no money . so they can't support an money. so they can't support an economy that struggles for half the overall of the year. the local district council east lindsey to comment saying a home office issue but cases where asylum is granted the council could face additional according to the leader craig leland speaking of his own . we would speaking of his own. we would say there's a balance between what we can do locally in terms of the numbers that we can

support and how that goes forward. that's concern is that balance . we don't want that to balance. we don't want that to tip over into community cohesion problems . tip over into community cohesion problems. that tip over into community cohesion problems . that balance tip over into community cohesion problems. that balance tips the wrong way. in a statement, the home office said that the use of hotels to house asylum seekers unacceptable and it's a temporary solution . the uk hit temporary solution. the uk hit its levels of net migration this week despite brexit and border promises. in skegness a town with the highest leave vote , the with the highest leave vote, the country. referendum wishes and reality are very different things. will hollis for gb news in skegness . yes. okay. all in skegness. yes. okay. all right really important package. i just want to pick very quickly on what matt warman , the on what matt warman, the conservative mp for area there in skegness said and he was trying to appease some of the locals. massive disquiet , locals. massive disquiet, massive discontent from local residents indeed is their right and one would imagine is being up and down the country saying they are speaking of asylum c because they are from some the

most war torn countries. how does he know? because when i speak local council leaders right across the country and local councils right across the country and local mp is right across country, they tell me that the home office will not tell them where people are from. a lot of the time exactly who they are and they don't even get a heads up, frankly about where these hotels are to be popping up. they wake up one morning and am i going to tell that? so i question whether or not that mp knows not these knows whether or not these people indeed the people are indeed some of the most countries the most war torn countries the world, and how he would know that a direct. the that he must have a direct. the other mp and other councillors don't have these emails coming in gbs gb news dot uk. don't have these emails coming in gbs gb news dot uk . a couple in gbs gb news dot uk. a couple of good ones. very quickly we're talking about the same thing four months from christopher and nothing's being done about it yet. me it and is a yet. tell me about it and is a good a powerful one from good one. a powerful one from alastair which says that these people are entitled dental and health their human health care as is their human rights. what about my human rights? i'm paying taxes. i

can't get an nhs dentist or doctor. alastair doctor. that is from alastair jeeves coming up, is jeeves. gbnews.uk coming up, is rishi sunak facing another rebellion this time over onshore wind after former cabinet minister alok sharma joined bofis minister alok sharma joined boris johnson ? liz truss. gosh, boris johnson? liz truss. gosh, that's a rogue's gallery it. in opposing the ban . also this opposing the ban. also this houn opposing the ban. also this hour. yes talking of health care. the stuff from where we are from we've more on it because nurses prepare to and their demand for an increase in pay- their demand for an increase in pay. but i'm asking whether or not these demands are reasonable or unreasonable . they putting or unreasonable. they putting that purses before patients. i really want to drill down and we ask patients have a right know whether or not all that demands are reasonable. i'll be back in are reasonable. i'll be back in a moment .

a very good afternoon to you. before we back to patrick at

330. i'm rosie, right, giving you a news update . more than 50 you a news update. more than 50 conservative mp have signed a letter urging the prime minister to introduce legislation to ease the migrant crisis . the group the migrant crisis. the group says firstly people be more rapidly returned to countries that they come from and when claims they made that people have been unwillingly traffic to the uk, they should be back. without objection . gb news without objection. gb news sources say more than 450 people have been intercepted on. nine small boats today . national have been intercepted on. nine small boats today. national grid has decided not to introduce energy saving scheme tomorrow . energy saving scheme tomorrow. that would be paying households if they cut their power usage. the move would have been the first ever live run of the operators flexibility service designed to ease pressure on the country's grid and avoid blackouts . the government is blackouts. the government is launching a £1 billion scheme to make middle income homes more energy efficient. the three year scheme will see hundreds of thousands of homes receive loft and cavity insulation from the

spnng and cavity insulation from the spring households don't spring households that don't currently to upgrade their currently get to upgrade their homes prioritised . homes will be prioritised. whilst a fifth of the funding will be set aside for most will be set aside for the most vulnerable, the government is considering asking the armed forces for hospital forces stand in for hospital staff possible this staff during possible this winter. are drawing up winter. health are drawing up contingencies to cover frontline workers as , ambulance drivers workers as, ambulance drivers and paramedics consider nurses in the upcoming walkouts . the in the upcoming walkouts. the health secretary, steve barclay , says they're concerned about the impact the action could have on patients. but on your tv onune on patients. but on your tv online on the ap plus radio it's . online on the ap plus radio it's. gb thank you rosie is patrick christys here on gmb news now. loads for us to get stuck into today. rishi sunak is facing a growing rebellion over onshore wind. believe it or not, after former cabinet minister alok sharma this boris johnson , liz sharma this boris johnson, liz truss, in opposing the ban. this

is more exciting than , it seems. is more exciting than, it seems. don't worry, we'll live it. the president of the cop26 climate summit said he supports letting local communities backing residents being given reduced energy bills in exchange for their support of new developments. now joining me is our correspondent tom harwood tom. there he is thank you very much. great to have you on the show. now, tom as far as i can see, yes. right. local residents may well be unquote brined in order to have things if they decide that they want them on the landscape similar to what a lot of fracking companies were going to although i suspect going to do. although i suspect get if they did the get richer if they did the fracking does fracking side of things. does this really centres to whether or these giant farms are or not these giant farms are a massive blight on the landscape ? well, you what it's interesting patrick i've been to some of the rebels involved this amendment today who make the case that this is actually something that was legally used briefly under liz truss mini—budget announced its intention to not only deliver

shale gas extraction in the united kingdom with community that of course fracking got all of the big media attention . but of the big media attention. but in parallel , of the big media attention. but in parallel, liz truss also announced that she wanted onshore winds to have the same sort of approval process in the united kingdom. it was effectively banned in 2015 under david cameron through a mechanism whereby , even one mechanism whereby, even one objection to an onshore wind farm could prevent the entire farm could prevent the entire farm from going ahead. now that's out of kilter with the rest of the planning. we don't do any other infrastructure projects like that. we don't do any energy infrastructure like . any energy infrastructure like. that whether it's whether it's nuclear power stations or dams or anything . clearly, that was or anything. clearly, that was out of kilter while. liz truss well she signalled her intention to legalise wind when rishi sunak became prime minister, one of his first acts was to chuck just about everything that liz truss did, abolishing most of the supply reform measures that her government to do that didn't

only include many of the things that we saw in the mini that got a lot of the attention. it of course included this liberalisation of onshore wind. so it's interesting to see that. liz truss and indeed boris johnson and a few people that were in liz truss, his cabinet as well, notably simon clarke who was the former levelling up secretary. it's his name is on the amendment he originated this rebellion. if we ought to call it that. so yeah , they are all it that. so yeah, they are all saying, well this is a programme reform that rishi sunak wrote back on. yes, it but interesting to compare that with the 90 fracking stuff because one would imagine that that might have might have brought another two sides to this a lot more revenue for those particular clearly this is deemed be greener this is deemed to be greener question time over how question marks time over how effective this is in. some people might be saying, well, i don't want to my curtains or go on holiday to the lake on a holiday to the lake district and see these giant, you know, guillotines for birds around the countryside why can't

we shove them all offshore ? and we shove them all offshore? and if we're all going to start building things, maybe it should be . well, some people be houses. well, some people might say that birds also over the ocean and maybe those birds it coming. but ultimately, if we want to get serious about this issue, there is indeed a lot of opinion polling about this and the remarkable thing is that the opinion of the british public has shifted quite remarkably in the last years it's around 70% of even concern of active voters who were in favour of onshore wind as things stand and perhaps that's because of the context the energy crisis in which we find ourselves. it's pretty surprising to many people that any form of energy might be slapped with a ban, whether that's shale gas or onshore wind. a number of those people behind this in favour of onshore wind were also the people behind it being in favour fracking as well . perhaps those two things well. perhaps those two things go hand in hand, more so than a lot of the media might suggest .

lot of the media might suggest. but yes, you do make a fair point that there will be some people who more opposed to them, and that's this amendment. and the people behind it want to generate a form of consent for it so that it would still need, of course, that permission, that that local opposition could stop it, but it would move away from the system which we currently find ourselves , which is just find ourselves, which is just one in the visual complaint. it could stop an entire windfarm . could stop an entire windfarm. to those rebels that seems disproportion in its tom harwood. thank you very tom harwood. thank you very tom harwood a political correspondent there. westminster. westminster full of gb news political correspondent today. i want to hear from you on this one. no gbviews@gbnews.uk about the wind farms. you on it? i'm farms. where are you on it? i'm pretty fracking. also pretty pro fracking. i'm also not farm. those two not anti wind farm. those two things can go hand in hand . i things can go hand in hand. i don't way they might don't like the way they might blight landscape. probably blight the landscape. i probably would a load of them would rather have a load of them offshore . don't do you offshore. but don't them. do you live area where you could live in an area where you could either have a wind either frack or have a wind farm? how you about it? farm? how do you feel about it? i to hear you i want to hear you vaiews@gbnews.uk. although the

way bills are going, way my energy bills are going, i'm thinking of strapping a solar my back and just solar panel to my back and just be it. anyway, lots of be done with it. anyway, lots of you been getting touch you have been getting in touch with on was our with your thoughts on was our top and that news breaking top story and that news breaking just as i came on air and we'll continue to break throughout the call which about the call the show which is about the numbers of coming across numbers of people coming across the today almost in the channel 450 today almost in nine comes as 55 zero nine bows it comes as 55 zero tory have written a tory mpps have written a strongly letter very to british prime minister rishi sunak, urging to reform the law to frankly stop us being taken for a ride by people who claim to have been victims of modern slavery when let's be honest you it's says there is an it's no gary says there is an easy solution to this but. it's no gary says there is an easy solution to this but . the easy solution to this but. the government want to make government do not want to make the it's quite simple. the decision. it's quite simple. as they land this as soon as they land in this country are shipped country they are shipped straight and sent straight to an airport and sent to rwanda. not in days, in weeks, within hours they are weeks, but within hours they are processed wonder the processed there. i wonder the rwanda plan will be more palatable. if you had caveat in it that if you were given asylum , granted asylum, then you could come back and live in the uk as opposed to being deported from

that. i'm not sure that would be massively with gary. let's be fair, sylvia says , i have great fair, sylvia says, i have great sympathy for the on trafficked people especially. they must be anxious get to complete anxious to get back to complete their education their parents must be so worried and is must be so worried and this is a cracking point sylvia and earlier this point, earlier on i made this point, which i can't believe that which is i can't believe that people myself weren't people like myself weren't saying claim to saying this if you claim to be the victim human of the victim human trafficking of modern slavery you by definition presumably brought here presumably were brought here against will. well, against your will. well, a couple that. you couple of points that. if you have tried failed to go down have tried and failed to go down the asylum before and so the asylum route before and so we think you're fleeing we don't think you're fleeing from anything beg the from anything it does beg the question you didn't just go question why you didn't just go in with modern slavery in hard with the modern slavery stuff. the question why stuff. it also the question why do you want to be sad about you must be gutted be in britain must be gutted to be in britain must be gutted to be in britain must absolutely gutted you must be absolutely gutted you have kicking and have dragged her kicking and screaming your will. screaming against your will. your itself your bank account emptied itself and the money, the human trafficking to collect that trafficking came to collect that money themselves you at money themselves from you at gunpoint. you've found gunpoint. and now you've found yourself little yourself in this horrible little country and. you are desperate to back to albania and carry to go back to albania and carry on with life you had before on with the life you had before . problem with . what is your problem with

being and if you are being sent back and if you are the victim of modern slavery? i feel incredibly for you. presumably can. you sent back presumably we can. you sent back to want be to where you want to be very, very quickly. vaiews@gbnews.uk we're now to we're moving on from that now to another you all. was another story for you all. was it all? well, it story for you all? well, because some point we because at some point we will all need nhs . we will all all need the nhs. we will all need health care. the health secretary, steve barclay, has insisted door is open . insisted that his door is open. resume talks with health unions about a stop to unprecedented strike action in the nhs as he warned there will be impacts on patients if the strikes go ahead. absolutely . there's ahead. yeah, absolutely. there's reports that the army reports today that the army could step in to help the nhs as the government looks. contingency plans. i'm about to get a raft emails now going. get a raft of emails now going. it's not just is the it's not just the army. is the military a whole? well, we'll military as a whole? well, we'll to wait and say hopefully it never happens. but the royal college nursing pat college of nursing general pat cullen wrote the health secretary him it is secretary telling him that it is now ations or nothing. oh now gauci ations or nothing. oh there we go. well, in a few moments will to the health moments i will to the health editor express, lucy editor at, the express, lucy johnson a little later johnson and a little bit later on show , a big one that on in the show, a big one that i'm going speak to, a member

i'm going to speak to, a member of, the health select committee. remember couldn't to the remember couldn't get to the bottom the rmt wanted on bottom of what the rmt wanted on the because they the railways because they wouldn't so do wouldn't tell us, so what do we do? we've someone for the do? we've got someone for the transport committee and transport select committee and he on gb news, he revealed here on gb news, right here my show that right here on my show that actually from actually the demands from mclain's of mclain's were way up of inflation. kind know inflation. well kind of know what want the health what they want in the health sector, don't we. we kind of know nurses roughly know what nurses is roughly between 19. what i want to between 17 to 19. what i want to know the government is know is what the government is offering . here are some offering them. here are some graphics we can stuck into graphics we can get stuck into those. now the royal royal college nursing is demanding college of nursing is demanding workers pay of 5% workers receive a pay of 5% above inflation , which is above inflation, which is currently at around 11.1. that takes an average nurse's salary from takes an average nurse's salary fro m £34,000 a year to 39,780. from £34,000 a year to 39,780. that's an average members of royal college of nursing will walk out in england, wales and, northern ireland on these two days, the 15th and the 20th of december, on friday, found out that any walk out in scotland postponed after the government

there really opened nhs pay negotiations . the government say negotiations. the government say that the demands from the royal college of nursing are closer to a 19.2% pay rise and it would cost you may anyone who dares to pay cost you may anyone who dares to pay tax ten belly m pounds a yearif pay tax ten belly m pounds a year if they met those demands, which is whopping lot of money, isn't it? finally let's have a look at what is on the table. and this is really important. as i mentioned, strike action in scotland is on hold. the scottish government's final pay offer averaging a 7.5% increase. so this scottish nurse is essentially settled around 7.5% in england and wales, nhs staff are awarded a pay rise of 4% earlier this year. they're awarded one of three and a little bit percent the year before that. so that 4% was on top of the 3% they got earlier. so now i've given you some context . bear in so now i've given you some context. bear in mind we so now i've given you some context . bear in mind we are context. bear in mind we are going to be speaking a bit later on to a member of the health select committee. it is going to be fascinating. find out how select committee. it is going to be fasnegotiationsd out how select committee. it is going to be fasnegotiations aret how select committee. it is going to be fasnegotiations are going. those negotiations are going. i want to tell home in your want you to tell me home in your car, whatever you do and do you

think those demands are reasonable ? you think that reasonable? you think that putting public health in jeopardy is worth it for the amount of money they're asking for to shed some more light on this, i am joined by health social affairs editor at the sunday express, johnson. sunday express, lucy johnson. lucy they want lucy stuff, right. so they want about a 19.2% pay rise. the royal college of nursing. they're threatening to walk out the 15th and the 20th of december. suppose the government has well, you can have has said, well, you can have around you that's around 4. do you think that's reasonable reasonable ? no oh, reasonable reasonable? no oh, no, we've not got lucy . well, no, we've not got lucy. well, it's all right, because i want to have a direct discussion with you, the viewers and the listener. anyway let's just bnng listener. anyway let's just bring up a couple more of those stats. actually because i want to drill in if we to drill down in these, if we can go about some of those graphics, me, will be graphics, for me, that will be lovely. let's just bring them lovely. so let's just bring them up again because i think it's really that we talk about the demand. royal college of demand. so the royal college of nursing 5% above nursing demanding 5% above inflation would inflation and this would raise the salary by 5780. when the average salary by 5780. when you put it into context about 4% was the pay rise they got last

year 3% the year before. if you add well, all of that together, it's an 11 or 12% pay rise isn't say over, the course of about 18 months, which is lot. sorry as well. if i'm the inflation you have that this 19.2% plus that so it's a heck of a lot of money the average salary would now 39,780 now the royal college of nursing will walk on these two days. it's the 15th on the 20th of december. but interestingly enough the walkout in scotland was , wasn't it? and the was, wasn't it? and the government says that the demands to the royal college of nursing are to 19.2. as i've just £10 billion to the taxpayer . and if billion to the taxpayer. and if have a look at what's being offered, it's in addition a pay rise potentially of around 4% right that we go right. rise potentially of around 4% right that we go right . well, i right that we go right. well, i want to know what you think about this as gentlemen. we've gone through those figures today, for want of a better phrase, them we're phrase, give them what we're talking about it comes to talking about when it comes to the there rather a lot the nhs, there is rather a lot at here, isn't there? and i at play here, isn't there? and i know that everyone says well the

nurses take strike nurses don't take a strike action lightly of this action lightly and all of this stuff, but actually it to stuff, but actually it comes to putting before patient putting purse before patient care. know how you care. i want to know how you feel, would willing feel, what would you be willing to compromise? are to to compromise? we are going to speak to on a member of speak later to on a member of the health select committee because it's all very well and good, throwing your hands in the air as by way the labour party and, the tory party are both singing from the same hymn sheet now, not the first time. the now, not for the first time. the way politics this is way that politics in this is going the pay going saying that the pay demands from the nurses are unreasonable, unaffordable is the unaffordable. 19.2% the word unaffordable. 19.2% unaffordable. and i think most people would to that. but should the compromise be because clearly is going to have to be some form of compromise isn't there, we are going to have to suckit there, we are going to have to suck it and see when it comes to the taxpayer . little on the taxpayer. little bit on nursing. out your nursing. let me find out your views this gb news gbnews.uk views on this gb news gbnews.uk but now. but we're moving on now. something bit. well, something a little bit. well, it's little bit lighter, but it's a little bit lighter, but not lighter. my uncle finished third on i'm a celebrity last night if you not watch i'm a celebrity. spoiler alert my uncle came third. scott one

uncle came third. jill scott one of anyway, if all health of that. anyway, if all health secretary was beaten secretary is beaten was beaten linus footballer scott and linus footballer jill scott and hollyoaks warner . but has hollyoaks owen warner. but has the mvp's in the show been controversial or have people's perceptions been changed ? i perceptions been changed? i wanted to debate on this. i'm very, very, very conflicted about this. i everyone deserves about this. i everyone deserves a second chance. however it comes to some of the things that my uncle was responsible for dunng my uncle was responsible for during the coronavirus crisis . during the coronavirus crisis. lockdowns, massive waste of money when it came to ppe, but crucially for the deaths of care home residents. i'm not saying he killed them himself. course i'm not. but i am saying the decisions contributed to the deaths of care home residents jobs. i know it is mixed views on the coronavirus vaccine. my uncle instance centre but uncle for instance centre but simultaneously and simultaneously laughing and looking mess in looking like he'd made a mess in his when he came on to his trousers when he came on to another rival tv show to save the vaccine. we've got the job? well, actually, should he have had the chance to rehabilitate his public, or is it in really poor you look at all poor taste? when you look at all the died or lost the people who died or lost their etc. i am now theirjobs, etc. i am joined now by former a celebrity

by former i'm a celebrity contestants former liberal contestants and former liberal democrats lambert, opec and democrats mp lambert, opec and the political emma webb. well, i've green flood, but you've gone all out with the backdrop there is i know i'm a celebrity. it is of course it is. i don't know. in australia, the high than the mountains right behind . i'm sticking . that's my story. i'm sticking to my go a couple sounds to it my go for a couple sounds of things right. i will ask you this for somebody who lost a relative in a care home where someone who wasn't even that care home was sent into with coronavirus . watching matt coronavirus. watching matt hancock rehabilitate his public image is a bitter pill to swallow olympic, is it not? fair enough. and i'm not telling them do that. i lost my mother and she was in a care home. i see her for most of the last 18 months of her life. my agent died of covid and that was a big deal for me . well, but i don't. deal for me. well, but i don't. matt hancock, guilty of that . matt hancock, guilty of that. responsible for the decisions that you've described and also he's responsible. let's put it on the table . breaking his own on the table. breaking his own rules. yeah, he resigned to

that. how many times do you have to punish a person for getting something wrong. i think there's anything and all society anything wrong and all society with the concept forgiveness i actually think that's what the new testament yeah. new testament doesn't it. yeah. look there are elements i mean this why i'm conflicted, this is why i'm so conflicted, tony. are elements to tony. there are elements to me massively you. mean massively agree with you. i mean , know, times in my , know, there are times in my life had beg for life i've had to beg for forgiveness, the things that i've that people i've and i'm glad that people have it to me and i to have given it to me and i to live in a society where we can be forgiven. but emma webb, i'll throw you. political throw it over to you. political commentator something like commentator with something like his handling of the coronavirus crisis have been crisis should have been given the be popular the opportunity to be popular because millions people because he has millions people vote to win . i look vote for him to win. i look i believe in forgiveness and i agree . that's right. the new agree. that's right. the new testament does just to be forgiving. but i think actually there'll be a lot of people around the country who think that he should seeking forgiveness for even going on this show the first place and this show in the first place and abandoning constituents in abandoning his constituents in the i don't the way that he did. i don't think that through the he's think that through the show he's redeemed way that redeemed himself in the way that he that he or maybe

he thinks that he has or maybe the that he intended to . and the way that he intended to. and i think that there is something cheapening his decision to cheapening about his decision to go into the jungle in this way. and, know, as you said , as and, you know, as you said, as members out there as members pointed out there as well know, my grandmother was in a for the last years of her a care for the last years of her life, unable hug her grandchildren , her children grandchildren, her children locked up all by herself, really without anybody, her not fully understanding that was the case. and matt hancock and is seen by so many people around , the so many people around, the country as a hypocrite. so not keeping his own rules. and that because, you know , just simply because, you know, just simply because, you know, just simply because of the hypocrisy because it suggested that actually those people who were making the rules didn't think that they were really necessary because as he said , he he apologised as is for said, he he apologised as is for it, but he says that he did it because, he was in love with somebody and so i don't think that he's fully redeemed himself. i don't that himself. i don't think that people broadly going to have people broadly are going to have a of sympathy him and a lot of sympathy with him and i actually think he's he's actually think that he's he's cheapened whole thing by

cheapened the whole thing by thinking that he can go a reality show and redeem reality tv show and redeem himself by a celebrity and becoming popular. but there's a slightly bigger picture here, for example. now, i appreciate consequences of the mistakes that you may vary depending on what your is. and if you are a health secretary in, the middle of unprecedented global of a unprecedented global pandemic, if make mistakes pandemic, then if make mistakes and they tend to be absolute whoppers. did make whoppers. however, he did make mistakes , the care home crisis mistakes, the care home crisis and also potentially lying and then also potentially lying about saying in about his saying we throw in a protective ring around cabs. i mean, he had an that's just mean, he had an anti that's just not also things like ppe not true. also things like ppe expenditure clearly as well that absolutely horrendous footage of him snogging the face his top aide i mean that's a grave that burned into my retina which he replicated actually he came replicated actually when he came off hands. we off his hands. anyway, we digress. where this end when it comes to public rehabilitation with you know do we see with people you know do we see shamima begum on the next episode celebrity? episode of i'm a celebrity? i mean, does this end? well. mean, where does this end? well. well, all, i think you well, first of all, i think you need to your life rather than his. just my opinion. his. that's just my opinion. this to face your on

this move to face your life on i'm not boots make on the jungle series on serious question is this he did make mistakes and think those of us who actually watched programme closely tim's that that was not just vacation for what he did wrong . one thing for what he did wrong. one thing i was impressed with was he took the hit and. he was humble about it and he listened to the others they weren't pulling him ready. people use that phrase advisedly , but they had a go at him and he sucked up and he's he sucked it up and he's admitted even in his in his debrief with that and dac that done lots of things wrong. what did he want? wanted a little bit of forgiveness . i think of forgiveness. i still think that probably talking that he's probably talking primarily to his kids when he says that, but wherever was says that, but wherever he was going allowed in going to, this is allowed in this country, he didn't deliberately kill everybody . he deliberately kill everybody. he didn't kept things didn't deliberately kept things wrong. i don't think that wrong. and i don't think that he's crook. think what you he's a crook. i think what you saw the honest guy saw was the honest guy and i don't think an honest guy. so but at least two and a half million people, i think voted for as well well. this is for him as well well. this is

it. is this is this is it. and this is this is this is it. and this is this is this is it. there is such a thing, it. and there is such a thing, as you know, the british underdogs very and it is remarkable how many people have been uncle. join been screaming at my uncle. join the he's a, you know, the thinking. he's a, you know, wall then will gone on and wall then will have gone on and voted him and changed public voted for him and changed public opinion voted for him and changed public omean it is quite a fascinating i mean it is quite a fascinating thing to think about the psyche of british public when it of the british public when it comes to this and clearly comes to this stuff and clearly a now have decided a lot of people now have decided that do really like my that they do really like my uncle but my concern with this is was he famous for? what is what was he famous for? what was he well—known he was was he well—known for? he was famous, would argue, famous, some would argue, building being health secretary in a pandemic can in the middle of a pandemic can now on an absolute now go on an absolute wheelbarrow load of cash on the celebrity circuit. he has profited out of people's misery, has not? i agree, patrick. and you know, but i that what this doesis you know, but i that what this does is this actually suggests something about our culture more broadly , but particularly about broadly, but particularly about our political culture . i think our political culture. i think his decision to go on this show was selfish. he wanted to redeem himself . he was selfish. he wanted to redeem

himself. he clearly was selfish. he wanted to redeem himself . he clearly wants himself. he clearly wants celebrity. he wants fame out of this . and i think that it's this this. and i think that it's this is actually part of the problem, the ego ism in our politics the idea of it being about the rather than about your image rather than about your image rather than about the people that you're supposed to be serving, he should be at home serving, he should be at home serving his he shouldn't be on a reality tv show trying to launder his reputation in this way. the best thing for to have done would have been to redeem himself doing his job well. okay, look, of you, thank okay, look, both of you, thank you could so we you very much. we could so we could all day about this, could talk all day about this, but we've to have to move on. but but a fairly fascinating and one genuinely i can really one genuinely that i can really see sides that is see both sides of that is former. a celebrity former. i'm a celebrity contestant democrats contestant and former democrats mp on political commentator emma webb . big question me or webb. big question for me or not, why did my uncle have to not, is why did my uncle have to go into the jungle us to find out was? surely he could out who he was? surely he could attend. some of his local mp surgery people find surgery and people would find out but anyway, there we out that. but anyway, there we go. don't anywhere because go. don't go anywhere because after i will be speaking

after 4:00, i will be speaking a conservative crucially conservative mp and crucially a member help select member of the help select committee. i am desperate get committee. i am desperate to get answers if nurses are answers for you. if nurses are going on and are going on going on and staff are going on strike , need know exactly strike, we need to know exactly what their demands are and exactly what the negotiation. we have a right to know. the nhs not all pay for it. not free. we all pay for it. there's reports the government are bringing are considering bringing in the military solve strikes military to solve these strikes . hopefully speak to . i will hopefully speak to health editor at the express lucy jones and i'll be back in a tick loads to talk about that .

yes. okay, back now this reports that the army could be brought to in cover for nurses when they walk out later this month. the health secretary, steve barclay has insisted that door is to has insisted that his door is to resume with health resume those talks with health unions. but the royal college of nursing general secretary cullen wrote to the health secretary telling him it negotiations or

nothing. well, we now speak fingers crossed to . health and fingers crossed to. health and social editor at the social affairs editor at the sunday johnson . lucy. yes, sunday lucy johnson. lucy. yes, you are here now , i believe. you are here now, i believe. fantastic. okay. right. first and foremost, are we going to bnng and foremost, are we going to bring the army in? is this a thing or is it just the thing that people say when they're in crisis? it tescos. bring crisis? oh call it tescos. bring the i think there the army in. well i think there are contingency plans not formalised yet but we have done that before during covid. we brought the army in to deliver ppe and also to do testing at mobile covid testing units. so it has happened before . the army it has happened before. the army obviously is trained in in certain emergency is, but they're not going to have the range of skills, the diagnostics skills to understand of every patients needs. so it is quite as serious. you know, there must be right, you know, these talks are happening. this is this is very well. well, indeed. i mean, it really i mean, supposedly the demands being made by the royal

college of nursing are around the 19.2% pay rise mark the government as , far as we government as, far as we understand it, have said well, we were to give in what you then it would cost us around 10 billion year and haven't billion a year and we haven't got that of cash at the got that kind of cash at the moment. but can live through moment. but can i live through the medium of you? please me the medium of you? please let me see. later on i've got a see. because later on i've got a member of the health select committee coming on and if you were in with him, were trapped in a room with him, what of stuff would be what kind of stuff would you be asking i'm keen to asking him? because i'm keen to know, the government know, is the government really negotiating has to negotiating at all? there has to be bit of give and take. and be a bit of give and take. and is all the fact that nurses is it all the fact that nurses are being really unreasonable ? are being really unreasonable? well there are if you look at it in two ways, it is an unfair fortunate time to be we're going into winter . we have crippling into winter. we have crippling waiting lists . we have an waiting lists. we have an increase in viruses. we . increase in viruses. we. patients, 25,000 of them waiting on trolleys . and we have an on trolleys. and we have an emergency health service which is broken effectively and ambulances do their handovers. there's never good time to go on

strike . this really has to be strike. this really has to be a very, very you know, we're going into winter 19% is very, very you know, we're going into winter19% is very high. and i think the problems really in the health service we have , in the health service we have, no one's really looking at why the issues we've had five health secretaries over just two years. i no one's really grabbing hold of the serious underlying problems the nhs does need to be looked needs to be reformed and it's not going to function unless . we can do some reforms. unless. we can do some reforms. lucy, thank you very . that was lucy, thank you very. that was short and sweet, but that's the way it is sometimes. lucy johnson that is health and social affairs editor at sunday express controversial view this people the tory government often gets they're running people the tory government often getrnhs they're running people the tory government often getrnhs into they're running people the tory government often getrnhs into the ey're running people the tory government often getrnhs into the groundining the nhs into the ground deliberately order deliberately in order to privatise thing. could privatise that thing. could possibly that it's been possibly suggest that it's been running to the ground deliberately exacerbate the deliberately to exacerbate the situation. means that situation. it means that when people rise they've people want a pay rise they've got the government over a barrel. hey, sat down gb news of gbnews.uk you with me.

might have a claim, but a safe country. then then, frankly , it country. then then, frankly, it should knock out almost all of the 12,000 the year that we're looking at the most . the looking at the most. the government's considering asking the armed forces to stand in for hospital staff during possible strike this winter. health officials are drawing up contingency to cover frontline workers as ambulance drivers and paramedics consider joining nurses in their upcoming walkouts. the health secretary barclay, says they're concerned about the impact the action could have patients. we'll no formal request has been made by department of health to the military. but of course, we will look as part of our normal contingency plans and a range of opfions. contingency plans and a range of options . the priority for me contingency plans and a range of options. the priority for me is to the dialogue with . the trade to the dialogue with. the trade unions with the rcn i've been extremely clear that my door is open. they raised a range of issues not just pay but also about working conditions. patients and so i'm very happy

to continue that dialogue . the to continue that dialogue. the foreign secretary is backing the right to peaceful protests in china over covid restrictions. protesters turned out again this evening despite a strong police presence. it follows demonstrations at the weekend , demonstrations at the weekend, which started after ten people were killed in a fire at, an apartment block. protesters blame measures saying they prevented victims from escaping . james cleverly says the chinese should take notice of these rare protests. is rare that's the chinese people protest publicly like this. know the risks. in fact, some of protesters are saying they know the risks . but it's something the risks. but it's something they feel incredibly strongly . they feel incredibly strongly. and as i say, because are a rarity, i think that both the international community take notice. but more importantly the chinese government itself listen to what the chinese people are saying to them . national grid saying to them. national grid has decided not to introduce

energy savings tomorrow. paying households if they cut power usage. the move would have been the first ever live run of the operator's flexibility service designed to ease pressure on the energy grid and avoid blackouts . the government is launching a £1 billion scheme to make middle income homes more energy efficient. three year scheme will see hundreds thousands of homes receive lost and cavity wall insulation from the spring. households that don't currently get support to upgrade their homes will be prioritised . a homes will be prioritised. a fifth of the funding will be set aside for the most vulnerable . aside for the most vulnerable. business secretary grant shapps told us the measures will help households reduce their energy consumption . billion pounds , consumption. billion pounds, which is in addition to a lot more that's been provided previously , is to allow anyone previously, is to allow anyone in any kind of housing. could be private rent. it could be their own to home social housing. so to improve the property in order

to improve the property in order to make sure that it meets those highest mandates. and that will save people quite a lot of money . shadow business secretary jonathan reynolds told gb news labour wants to insulate 19 million homes as soon as possible . it's about ten years possible. it's about ten years too late. i mean this should have been a quick early win. the government reducing people's fuel bills doing the right thing by the environment i mean it's a win win. why taken so win win. why has it taken so long? this government, neither the direction , the ambition or the direction, of welcome when they of course i welcome when they come a little bit onto our territory, whether it's a windfall tax or energy efficiency ambition , but they've efficiency ambition, but they've got nowhere near the comprehensive . they get comprehensive. they need to get this country the right . this country onto the right. this is gb news will bring in monies as it happens. now it's back to . back to. patrick welcome back. our top stories is

that's almost 450 people have crossed the channel in nine small boats marking , the first small boats marking, the first crossings in almost a fortnight following. bad weather this latest influx channel migrants come as tory discontent grows is it the wave of a rebellion too little too late . some people are little too late. some people are saying 50 mps have written now to sunak to demand changes modern slavery laws group of backbench mp, which includes by the way former cabinet minister is all calling for those migrants say they are victims of human trafficking to be returned and surely that's what they want if they've been brought here against, their will at great expense. well we'll do you a favour then and off you pop back to exactly presumably you to exactly where presumably you want to be a downing street spokesperson has that spokesperson has said that the government committed government is committed to tackling system . tackling in the asylum system. yes, talk about amid yes, lots to talk about amid growing concerns as well from all three members of the public about health report about public health report things like diphtheria. now being prevalent amongst just some some of the people coming across the channel. have they been dispersed into your community moat? what brings us

this just after light, this report just after light, the border force vessel typhoon could be seen approaching dover harbour with the first of hundreds of migrants picked up in the channel this morning . in the channel this morning. around 50 people were taken board typhoon for the journey to the dover processing centre for more than a fortnight. the dover processing centre for more than a fortnight . bad more than a fortnight. bad weather has largely scuppered attempts by the criminal gangs to push boats . the beaches of to push boats. the beaches of north western france. in fact since the 13th of november, just one small boat with 36 people on board has made it across the engush board has made it across the english channel. but conditions are no flat calm, meaning some . are no flat calm, meaning some. the thousands who've been waiting in makeshift camps dunkirk and carli are being funnelled down to beaches and on to the boats . increasingly to the boats. increasingly frustrated at the government's seeming inability to get a grip

on the crisis , as around 50 on the crisis, as around 50 conservator of camps have written to the prime minister , written to the prime minister, demanding he introduce emergency sea legislation to deal particular with the number of albanians arriving in small boats. they want to all albanians rapidly removed back to their own country . and danny, to their own country. and danny, who claim to have been trafficked, also returned home. one of the problems is the longer you take, the more people you get is harsh roots say here for a couple of weeks they'll find a british and away they go . if they're here for a couple of years they'll meet. they'll somebody get married, have children , then then the is over children, then then the is over , you know, they can stay because that they have family rights. so the cooking do it the better . are you concerned about better. are you concerned about the spread of other diseases? some secretary it is yet more pressure . the home secretary pressure. the home secretary already dealing with the consequences of . dozens of consequences of. dozens of migrants who were infected with

diphtheria being farmed out to various hotels around the uk even though they were highly well the risk is very low, partly because there's very high uptake of vaccination within . uptake of vaccination within. the british public in the first place. but also we had a targeted action of vaccinations at ftx and so far 100 people were vaccinated before they actually left ftx. and it's something uk hate to say on monitoring extremely closely and that's why they took the targeted action that they did. it is a growing health crisis within a migrant crisis that shows no of slowing with good weather conditions throughout of this week, authorities are braced for the possibility that thousands more could the channel in the days . thousands more could the channel in the days. mark thousands more could the channel in the days . mark white thousands more could the channel in the days. mark white gb news yeah fascinating stuff from mount white there and that is the big breaking news today that 450 people have crossed in nine small boats, although john has

emailed. and thank you very much to they're not that to say, well, they're not that small. boats are they if small. these boats are they if you can fit pretty much of many people to them. that's people to them. and that's a fair point, john, they're becoming large becoming increasingly large boats aren't fantastic figures produced david davis produced us here by david davis mp, which looking at right mp, which i'm looking at right now i speak you live, which now as i speak you live, which is the asylum acceptance, right 7 is the asylum acceptance, right ? what people have accepted from albania . yeah. and break this albania. yeah. and break this down just. break this down quietly. very quickly. france, the rate from albania is 2.3. germany percent. greece, nought point percent. i could go on here. sweden 0. netherlands 0. britain . the uk 55.4% 55.4. britain. the uk 55.4% 55.4. acceptance rate. that's the initial ones is , as we said, a initial ones is, as we said, a migrant crisis. but it is also wrapped up in a health crisis and a legal crisis. 50 conservative mp is we're about hear now are calling for a change in our laws that stop people being from asylum claims claiming modern slavery . they

claiming modern slavery. they want those people to then go well okay fair enough we'll send you back then it was a real shame we're sorry that you were dragged kicking and screaming at gunpoint having all your gunpoint having emptied all your finances do. so we finances in order to do. so we will back to presumably will send you back to presumably where want to be. if you where you want to be. if you didn't want to be here. but there also a health crisis as there is also a health crisis as there is also a health crisis as there are increasing numbers of people with people apparently with diphtheria, fares diphtheria, etc. and rail fares that just that they have just been dispersed. around dispersed. gas are going around the country. heard that from the country. we heard that from health steve barclay health secretary steve barclay and conservative and the conservative mp david davis is on writing davis, who is led on writing that signed by around 50 that letter signed by around 50 employees. this employees. gb news this political reporter, olivia utley, in westminster for us utley, is in westminster for us right ? yes. olivia, thank you right? yes. olivia, thank you very, very much . disquiet among very, very much. disquiet among the conservative party backbenchers. i think a lot of people are saying, well, it's about time they stood up for ordinary members of the public who've been rather miffed about this quite a while . yes. and who've been rather miffed about tithink quite a while . yes. and who've been rather miffed about tithink constituents e . yes. and who've been rather miffed about tithink constituents mp(es. and who've been rather miffed about tithink constituents mp havingi i think constituents mp having gone back to speak their constituents over the weekend see that there is a growing problem with hotels in certain areas being overrun by migrants,

meaning that the is very difficult for those hotels to keep running profitably it's causing big impacts to tourism to the area and people worried about what it could do in future to their schools and the nature services, etc. we're seeing this rebellion now from conservative mp, 50, conservative mp have written to the prime minister what they want is a change to the modern slavery legislation, which it's widely agreed has a loophole in the immigration system. you've got these albanians which now make up a third of channel migrants coming over here, and once they're here they have to have their asylum claim at least looked at under modern slavery legislation . then modern slavery legislation. then they catch for a years, often on average , davis says it's 420 average, davis says it's 420 days over a year. and while they're there, they're, as he it paralysing the immigration system so the people who really do need asylum in britain are unable to get any or legal route into the uk. so that's where we

stand some of the people who signed this letter are pretty big hitting in the conservative party. you've got davis and david davis himself, of course, esther mcvey , liam fox is not esther mcvey, liam fox is not not sort of the usual suspects. so is going to put big pressure on rishi sunak to do about the immigration crisis. but on rishi sunak to do about the immigration crisis . but there on rishi sunak to do about the immigration crisis. but there is appetite in his government to address the albanian migrant . address the albanian migrant. robert jenrick was already said that he is moving to change some legislation , but it feels like legislation, but it feels like his feet are right in the fire now and he's going have to do something quite quickly just. quickly, olivia, my understanding that graham brady, the the backbench the chairman of the backbench 1922 might have put 1922 committee, might have put his name to this as well. now, thatis his name to this as well. now, that is fascinating because despite being a politician, he does stay out of front line does stay out of the front line of stuff , as nature of of stuff, as is the nature of his job as the chair the his job as the chair of the backbench, 1922 committee. if he has his name to this , then that has his name to this, then that implies that he has serious that the conservative party will lose the conservative party will lose the next general election if don't get this sorted and that

should be a massive, massive worry for richard soon. actually yeah, i think that's true. graham brady holds huge influence in the conservative party. as we know, he's the make rule breaker of prime ministers. so he knows the skeletons in the conservative party closet and he's hugely influential in. the party a real big beast. so yes. i think that the fact that he's pushed his name forward and i keep hearing that, too, could prove to be very, very significant and. yes. one way or another, it feels like rishi sunak must sort out very quickly indeed needs to prevent another risk of total . indeed. olivia risk of total. indeed. olivia you very much as ever. olivia utley from westminster just reacting to this news that yes on top of the breaking, reacting to this news that yes on top of the breaking , that 450 on top of the breaking, that 450 people have crossed in nine small boats today. there are now concerns amongst at least 50 conservative mp who have apparently written to rishi sunak to say we need a change in so that once someone's asylum system application is rejected,

they can't claim modern slavery. if they do claim modern slavery, then we send them back straight away. fascinating there. so i think more to be made of that potentially . sir graham brady, potentially. sir graham brady, the chair of the backbench conservative 1922 committee, has, as we understand there put his name to this letter. this is the kind that makes breaks promises. this is the guy whose job basically it is to keep the conservatives winning at the next general elections. that's essentially a massive massive part of his in—tray. essentially a massive massive part of his in—tray . if he feels part of his in—tray. if he feels so strongly about this it implies that so do all of the conservatives champions, conservatives and champions, but so . and he so do the public. and he has serious concerns that they will not win the next general election if they don't. so this out. and that should be a massive wake up call for people if indeed were needed. but the government has said that they will to use every tool will continue to use every tool their to illegal their disposal to deter illegal . with rising numbers . but with these rising numbers , who is actually to blame for crisis? now it's going to be an interesting debate among the other media outlets might have shied from. but i will now

shied away from. but i will now is to blame for is the government to blame for this or is it actually the illegal immigrants, the people coming over here? they to coming over here? are they to blame for clogging up our asylum process? joining me have process? joining me to have their heard is kevin their views heard is kevin saunders, former chief immigration at border force. immigration at uk border force. i'm o'flynn , a former i'm patrick o'flynn, a former mep political columnist . i mep and political columnist. i will start with you and i hope take this in the right way because a question that i think just needs to be answered who is to blame for? the massive backlog in our asylum system? is it the themselves, the asylum seekers themselves , or is it the seekers themselves, or is it the politicians politicians ? it's politicians politicians? it's the british government, the british conservative government that's been lying to the british people about its policy on immigration, both legal and illegal for more than a decade. you this is clown show conservatism so 50 of them have written a letter. wow. well you know asking for changes to legislation the modern slavery legislation the modern slavery legislation that conservatives brought in them selves you know

they're the ones let the backlogs run riot it's i mean let's not pretend it's all about albania at the albania is the biggest country of influx but that very easily goes to iran afghanistan. other countries it's not just about albania the bafic it's not just about albania the basic point is that nobody who comes to britain illegally should be allowed to stay in britain and this is a decision australians made 15 years ago. they had a principle that they passed a law , no one would stay passed a law, no one would stay and they made offshore processing the stuff that resolution and people who were held in offshore processing either went back to their countries of origin or to another country until the conservatives bail out the european court of human rights, the jurisdiction had come out of international obligations which are now unsustainable and impose that regime . no one should take that regime. no one should take them seriously this issue. well you mention you mentioned that

australia had come down rather hard on this . it comes to the hard on this. it comes to the albania problem . we know that albania problem. we know that the vast majority of these people are coming here via the small routes or as one of my view has pointed out earlier, on the boats getting increasingly large in the medium boat issue, it be called well, it's it should be called well, it's not australians. not just the australians. i mean, have accepted mean, germany have accepted apparently constitutes 0.0, sweden 0.0. netherlands switzerland, austria, norway, luxembourg, slovenia , finland, luxembourg, slovenia, finland, denmark, iceland, croatia liechtenstein, czechia . whereas liechtenstein, czechia. whereas 55.4% of them apparently have been accepted by the uk government. that's according to the initial asylum application acceptance rate. so there are bits of contacts, people i'm going to bring in now to the fray. kevin saunders, former chief immigration officer on this issue . do you blame the this issue. do you blame the people coming here for clogging up our system or do you blame the government? well, i think it's very difficult to blame the government because we've had this problem since 2000. so we've had the under labour and

coalition had massive, massive amounts of people waiting to , amounts of people waiting to, have asylum claims sorted out. the more that come over, the more difficult gets. you could solve the albanians tomorrow. if we wanted to. it's that there seems to be a lack of . i don't seems to be a lack of. i don't a lack of something to sort it out. kevin there's a lot of we know wants you know this mass anti immigrant or anti asylum seeker sentiment is in fact quite the opposite. i think people are very, very welcoming when. it comes to genuine seekers and there is a huge concern that a lot of the people coming on small boats are stopping those handling people who really are desperate for our help do need asylum in this country. and so is there any truth, kevin, to the idea that we be a bit more angry at some of the people coming over here because that wasting taxpayer's money, they trying to rig it essentially and abuse our system

and they are detracting from from needy people. is it fair enough that there is some about some people coming over on these medium sized boats? kevin yes, there and that should be there is. and that should be it's absolutely outrageous that this is going on, but it's been allowed to go on and the fact that can't remove the people to safe countries that a lovely article in the press over weekend about an albanian lady who came across with her daughter and admitted to the press that she was naked . all press that she was naked. all mick migrant she couldn't earn enough money in albania . oh well enough money in albania. oh well we just lost kevin there which is all right, because i've only got a couple of minutes left so i'm going. sorry, kevin, you dropped off, but i got your point in the nation it loud and clear. give final word clear. i'll give the final word to o'flynn, former mep to patrick o'flynn, former mep and this issue. now and political on this issue. now when you are seeing people who are up in arms like the people of skegness, for example, you say, look enough is enough when it to this do you actually think

there is any political will whatsoever to do anything about this? because it doesn't appear to be the case, does it, that there is no think rishi sunak's and establishment he thinks being a good minister is being coddled literally by the likes of macron and trudeau . he knows of macron and trudeau. he knows to take effect if action on this there would be some international blowback although other countries like italy and sweden and denmark might might very copy us. he's not to pull britain out of the european court of human rights or bail out of the outdated international the conservatives . i keep saying they are a clown . they have also presided the takeover of our asylum system by ultra liberal tribunals and, judges. and those figures that you read out about no , 0.2, you read out about no, 0.2, nought point percent or whatever of albanian is getting asylum in other european countries , over

other european countries, over 50% in the united kingdom make the points about it. it's a multi layered catastrophe of conservative party failure . conservative party failure. they've run out of all credibility on this issue, including the 50 mps who think, oh, i better sign a letter to make my constituents think i'm doing something then not now. look, fascinating of you. i really enjoyed that. thank you, patrick flynn, former mep political columnist . patrick flynn, former mep political columnist. he's saying that realistically we need to be very easing anger towards very easing our anger towards the when comes the government when it comes this should doing more this they should be doing more about have been about it and should have been doing about it. got kevin doing more about it. got kevin saunders, their former chief immigration officer, uk border force actually force saying well actually hang on absolve on a minute, we can't absolve the people here of the people coming over here of any because. they are any blame because. they are clogging our system up. what he's to gbp is a gb he's done to home gbp is a gb news dot uk. a tough topic. we don't shy away from tough topics here emerged that 450 here as it's emerged that 450 people crossed channel people have crossed the channel alone in nine small boats. it is getting to squeaky bum time. who do you actually blame for? this is some the people coming is it some of the people coming over is our government over channel is our government for sorting next up on

for not sorting it. next up on gb we've got the row about gb news, we've got the row about wind farms. is it just a of hot air? don't worry. we'll make that more interesting than it sounds. sunak facing sounds. rishi sunak is facing a tory rebellion onshore wind tory rebellion over onshore wind after cabinet minister after former cabinet minister alok joined johnson alok sharma joined boris johnson truss in opposing the ban. do you think onshore wind is just an eyesore on our nurses pay demands realistic needs today is it. the army could be called in to help cover later this month. ihave to help cover later this month. i have got a member of the health select committee on. i want to know exactly what these demands and exactly what the government sitting government is doing sitting around this negotiating table because is because whatever the case is putting lives at risk. putting people's lives at risk. you and me, we're patients. we've a right to know if we've got a right to know if we've got going to .

take yes, drop yourselves inhalation. just because in about 10 minutes time after we've spoken about

that wind farm issue, am going to be talking to caroline, conservative mp who is member conservative mp who is a member , the health select committee. i want get to the bottom of want to get to the bottom of what on with this what is going on with this nurses the strike. they nurses of the nhs strike. they want pay rise. the want about 19.2% pay rise. the government saying well, we government is saying well, we can't afford it. but what's the government offering government actually offering them? are patients of them? you and i are patients of them? you and i are patients of the soon the nhs hopefully that soon everyone will be at some everyone but we will be at some point we have right to know. point we have a right to know. we a right know what is we have a right to know what is being to stop nurses being done to stop nurses walking news gbnews.uk walking out gb news gbnews.uk we'll that shortly. but we'll go to that shortly. but yes, matter now boris yes, the matter now. now boris johnson and liz truss have joined fury on the joined tory fury on the backbenches. joined tory fury on the backbenches . the rebellion backbenches. the rebellion brews against excuse me, i nearly choked on my own coffee that a de facto on new onshore wind farms in a place in rishi sunak's authority . this sunak's authority. this afternoon the president of cop26 climate summit alok sharma also had his say opposing this battle. he said that they supported local communities decide so is this a sign of rishi leadership being challenged and should he back down? how do you feel about it as well? i want to know. joining

me now is energy commentator jamie dialogue. jamie great, to have you on the show . the fact have you on the show. the fact is onshore wind farms are hideously and they ruin the landscape if they were better looking and less obvious , do you looking and less obvious, do you not think more people would be inclined to back them? i'm it's a matter of opinion. i actually quite like wind farms. i might be in the minority here, but i really think they add to the landscape . no, i'm here in the landscape. no, i'm here in the middle belfast, so i'm not likely to have a wind farm next to me . so it's maybe easier for to me. so it's maybe easier for me to say that, but but whether you like them or whether we don't think we've got to have them and i think the government is seemingly round to the view that yes, there could be new onshore wind farms where there is community consent. and i think that's emerging this afternoon and as a consensus view that , the pm seems to be view that, the pm seems to be coming round to point of view, but i have a bit of an issue this jeremy, because it emerged to me anyway that when it came to me anyway that when it came

to the fracking discussion , to the fracking discussion, local communities stood to make some cases. by the way, billion of pounds from taking a of the profits that some companies like shell etc. would make from fracking in your area . but fracking in your area. but communities weren't really given a vote on that because it was promised to by the government. thenit promised to by the government. then it was taken away at the same time, not long after that. well, why are they getting a vote now when it comes to wind farms? is it just because you're not going to just dup oil or some of those clad nemeses rocking blockade a wind rocking up to blockade a wind farm? because so, that's farm? because if so, that's weak. i think fracking is a complete different category from . wind farms for a start. i mean , not sure we should necessarily compare the two. i mean, wind farms are a tried and tested formula for creating renewable in this country. formula for creating renewable in this country . fracking, that in this country. fracking, that doesn't seem to be the same amount of evidence there. so i mean , i do think that a to mean, i do think that a to ensure that people locally back them is very sensible you know

maybe it should be done for more project more projects that could controversial but it's good to see as one imagines it happening in this case i think good sense is emerging i think there's no doubt we need wind farms. we absolutely need onshore and actually rishi sunak instincts in this what he was saying he wanted to concentrate on offshore . it actually makes a offshore. it actually makes a lot of sense . you know, offshore lot of sense. you know, offshore they're more efficient depends how far off the shore they are but they can be out of sight. so, i mean, think the pm's sympathies for offshore is completely right, but hopefully i think we're going to see common sense prevail if local people back them then why not let them go ahead ? well, this is let them go ahead? well, this is the thing. my only point of relevance when it comes to joint and together the fracking and the farm thing is if you the wind farm thing is if you offered members of the in a rural village in yorkshire or cumbria somewhere option cumbria or somewhere the option to money off their to a bit of money off their energy billions for energy bill or billions for a bit fracking i suspect the

bit of fracking i suspect the degrees of both and can't understand why it's such a binary debate but i'm going to have to ask you, jeremy, about this, please. so a wind farm to me, it actually ? well, i me, does it actually? well, i know is the difference we them across the landscape . what across the landscape. what happens to my energy bills? what happens to my energy bills? what happens having to rely happens to us not having to rely on for stuff? mean, does on putin for stuff? i mean, does he actually work make he actually work to make a difference? it just eco difference? is it just just eco tokenism? no they make a difference. of course they do . i difference. of course they do. i mean, the more wind farms we have offshore, the more sooner we have means, the less we use, which means that we're not so dependent on importing fossil fuels drove quite lucky . the uk fuels drove quite lucky. the uk that we have a very dwindling but is still a substantial amount of gas we can call upon. but the last we use of it the better it is for the climate. so you know, i think the argument is absolutely irrefutable. we must have more renewable energy, wind farms absolutely serve that purpose and i'm totally 100%

backif purpose and i'm totally 100% back if a local just very lucky and very quietly sorry this if a local community that relies on tourism primarily because of its beautiful landscape decides that they absolutely under no circumstance want to have that landscape blighted by these giant spinning bird killers should they have a right to be able block it? well i mean , i up able block it? well i mean, i up to a point i would say it depends. you have to have a balance of opinion here. but if the community. balance of opinion here. but if the community . yes. tourism the community. yes. tourism interests should be taken to a of if that is primary source of income in the area, then then maybe there is an argument for keeping the wind farms at bay. but look mean that has to be pretty rare yet happily eat happily one outside your front door would you . i i would door would you. i i would certainly happily have them in the in the in the surrounding area, but it's not practical. it's not some look because because i live in the it could

have a good have i would have it would have very i thought i really am early. thank you temecula. great to have you on show. thank you very, very much. thank you for me to david starkey. that is energy commentator views commentator say his views possibly shared many possibly i think shared by many people. me people. look, you are with me patrick christys on gb news is up the health secretary up next the health secretary says department for says that the department for health contacted about . health was not contacted about. the military stepping in to assist the nhs during planned walkouts . we're going to be walkouts. we're going to be talking about of this talking about all of this because apparently the army's going have to come in on the going to have to come in on the 15th the 20th december 15th of the 20th of december because going to walk because nurses are going to walk out. but want know, it out. but i want to know, it shouldn't hard to find shouldn't be too hard to find this right? it should be this out right? it should be able to find this out. we have caroline from health caroline johnson from the health select on in select committee coming on in just matter of minutes. and, just a matter of minutes. and, gents, you don't gents, so make sure you don't move this because nurses move for this because if nurses are to out and our are going to walk out and our health service is going to go to the and people are going to be empowered, some people might die. everyone die. you and i and, everyone we know, opinion, has a right know, in my opinion, has a right know, in my opinion, has a right know exactly negotiations know exactly what negotiations are to stop

are taking place to try to stop that from happening. i buy into the fact 19.2% is a pay the fact that 19.2% is a pay rise, unaffordable. both the rise, is unaffordable. both the labour party and always labour party and its always agree that. right now it agree with that. right now it will us about billion will cost us about 10 billion quid, very well and quid, but all very well and good. health secretary, good. our health secretary, his door to door remains open to negotiations. what is the negotiation? being done negotiation? what is being done to stop people not getting chemo, not getting dialysis, people in at or in people dying in at home or in the back of an ambulance because they to a busy they can't get seen to a busy christmas want christmas period. i want answers. you should as answers. i think you should as well. to get them for well. i'm going to get them for you in matter of moments. but you in a matter of moments. but first your headline . thank first is your headline. thank you patrick. this is the latest from the gb news frame. more than 50 conservative mps have signed a letter urging the prime minister to introduce emergency legislation to ease the migrant crisis. they want modern laws changed so that people returned to safe countries faster . they to safe countries faster. they also say those who claim they've been trafficked should be sent without objection. including sir graham brady. esther

without objection. including sir graham brady . esther mcvey. graham brady. esther mcvey. believe it would deter people from crossing the channel gb news understands almost hundred and 50 people have been intercepted on nine small boats so far today . the government is so far today. the government is considering asking the armed forces to stand in for hospital staff during possible strikes this winter. health officials are drawing up contingencies to cover frontline workers. ambulance drivers and paramedics consider joining nurses in their considerjoining nurses in their upcoming walkouts. the health secretary steve barclay says they are concerned the impact they are concerned the impact the action could have on patients . national the action could have on patients. national grid has decided to introduce energy saving scheme tomorrow. paying households if they cut power usage. the move have seen the first ever live run of the operator's demand flexibility service designed to ease pressure on the country's grid and avoid blackouts . the and avoid blackouts. the government's launching a £1

nutshell for you, ladies and gentlemen. potential strikes on the and the of the 15th and the 20th of december. they're to december. they're scheduled to go. is pay the go. why primarily is pay the tone wrap it in patient tone of wrap it up in patient care but realistically care as well. but realistically it's want about it's about they want about a 19.2% pay rise. the government saying that that will cost 10 billion quid and is unaffordable . the labour opposition is also saying he's unaffordable. in saying he's unaffordable. but in scotland they've managed to stave nurses strikes by stave off nurses strikes by giving them 7.5% or at least saying they will anyway on of the 4% they had earlier this year and 3% they had the year before. i am very angry about all of this, i'm sure every all of this, as i'm sure every single person sides this. single person is sides of this. obviously deep for nurses. they save lives . hurrah. okay, save lives. hurrah. okay, fantastic stuff . however, people fantastic stuff. however, people will and people will become will die and people will become increasingly unwell and, not get the care they need. if nurses do go on strike and that is infuriating every single person infuriating every single person in country has absolute in this country has absolute right to know what our government is doing to try to stop these no matter what side of the fence you're on. the government has to be trying to

do something surely to stop these strikes and has talked to me about of this. well we're going to shortly actually we're going to shortly actually we're going to shortly actually we're going to i remember the going shortly to i remember the health select committee, but i just want to remind ourselves of why the nhs apparently is facing this the college this crisis. the royal college of demanding workers of nursing is demanding workers receive rise 5% above receive a pay rise of 5% above inflation. that's currently at 11.1. would take an average 11.1. that would take an average nurse's salary . from 34000 to nurse's salary. from 34000 to 39780. so those numbers are worth bearing in mind. members the royal college of nursing will walk out england and wales and northern ireland on the 15th and northern ireland on the 15th and 20th of december. on friday we out that any walkout in scotland postponed that scotland has postponed by that potential for them. that potential rise for them. that the government is saying that demand for the royal college of nursing close to 19.2% pay nursing are close to 19.2% pay rise. that's the number i'm and it would cost about 10 billion quite a year. but it's not really saying what it will do to mitigate that. finally, let's look at what's on the table as i mentioned, strike action in scotland on hold they've scotland is on hold now. they've been offered a 7.5%

been given or offered a 7.5% increase. but in england and wales, nhs staff were awarded a pay wales, nhs staff were awarded a pay rise of 4% earlier this yeah pay rise of 4% earlier this year. so i've given you some context on all of this. i've given you enough to formulate, to ruminate on your own decision as gbp is a gb news don't you get in touch. do you think these demands reasonable and joining me grateful for me now and i'm very grateful for it dr. caroline johnson, it is dr. caroline johnson, conservative crucially conservative mp and crucially member of commons health and member of the commons health and social care committee. great to have you on the show . what is have you on the show. what is the government offering ? the the government offering? the royal college of nursing in line with its 19.2% demand, was the offer back . well, i'm not a offer back. well, i'm not a member of the government, but my understanding is that the government's offer is a minimum of 4% full band five seven nurses. most of the nurses you'll see on wards with a minimum of 1400 pounds uplift. so for example a band five nurses would see an uplift of 5.46. all time. they got the

1400 pounds and that's on top of the roughly speaking 4% that was given earlier this . and given earlier this. and i believe the 3% that was given the year before. so this is a stand uplift in the region of around 5.6. when you toss it all up . so my understanding is this up. so my understanding is this money comes on top of the 3% that they were given last year when everybody and it's worth noting that , everyone else in noting that, everyone else in the public sector had that paid last but . the nurses the public sector had that paid last but. the nurses had. last year. but. the nurses had. and it just agenda for change people had lost 3. but like i said, i'm i'm not here as as a member of the government. so i don't have no i absolutely got a really want to make it very clear to everybody watching listening to this i'm acutely aware you're not remember the government i want it to government i don't want it to come as i'm holding come across as i'm holding you account way for account in any way for government decisions just government decisions it's just we because the we don't know because the government really us government won't really tell us what want. and this is why what they want. and this is why i to get someone like you on with a bit insight on this.

with a bit more insight on this. so just, i'm just i'm keen to just really kind of get down to the detail on this. so as, as we understood it, then they want the want 19.2% is a pay rise that would cost us around 10 billion quid as far you're aware, the is saying that we will give you 5.6% as far as you're aware and that starts that. you're aware and that starts that . notice that as far you're aware and that starts that. notice that as far as i'm aware that offering generally 4% but for those on a lower lower salaries having a of 1400 pounds which takes it to 5.46% according to the figures, always get. okay, okay. all right. and the general consensus, as far as your because there's something your because there's something you now surely can specific only comment is that enough they comment on is that enough they should take that and not go on strike . so i'm screen frozen i'm strike. so i'm screen frozen i'm as part of that question do you feel as though that's a good enough offer from the government if indeed it is the case and they should not go on strike as a result ? well, i certainly a result? well, i certainly

think that 19.2% is too high a figure nurses do sometimes the job as a doctor i work alongside the member really amazing nurses through my career but 19.3% is three times the average pay set private sector pay deal. and it's clearly that in the current context that not affordable in terms of striking i, i looked, i saw some figures at the weekend about women waiting for gynaecological appointments and those figures showed before the pandemic 54 five for women were waiting more than a year to see a gynaecologist and then that number is now over 40,000 women and when that's just gynaecology when we're looking at a backlog of that scale when people are waiting in discomfort for operations of procedures and appointments, a very sort i just think to go on strike at this point will only increase that way. it will only increase the suffering of people and. so i

would urge them to look . steve would urge them to look. steve barclay you said door is open for negotiations and hope that they will come to some sort of agreement before i think it's 52 december. yes now, if indeed that speaking, 4% is on the table, that's the government's negotiating point. the nurses are saying 19.2, which pretty much every single political party. and i think anyone with any common sense would say is a ridiculous figure . clearly, ridiculous figure. clearly, there has to be some wiggle room. somewhere. otherwise room. there somewhere. otherwise we high do you we get strikes. how high do you think your opinion the government should go . scotland government should go. scotland supposedly they've offered 7.5% and that stop the strikes . well and that stop the strikes. well i mean i think you know with these the government it has an independent pay review and they look at all the information and make a decision the government has accepted the independent peer reviews guidance is not for people like me to take and they go out and say, oh, that's enough. this is not enough. it's clear 19.2% is too high and an affordable what the exact figure

should be chosen by an independent review body. and the government has accepted that . government has accepted that. and not as it accepted the and not only as it accepted the of the independent peer review is also don't step up. he's also said his door is open to negotiations so i think the government have gone that far. yes, but i very much for the patients . okay. all right . just patients. okay. all right. just just quickly on this, then. but what's we saw when we went to go to him saying door is, oh, sorry about this, sorry about this, i've got to go. there's some breaking news, please. sorry about i thank you. that about that. i thank you. that i believe that are great rescue students the students turning on the christmas at downing christmas laws at downing street. there street. let's have a look. there we okay. fantastic the we go. okay. fantastic the lights are on, but no one's i quite literally restlessly providing the excellent, entertaining evening. entertaining this evening. thank you you all at its heart, the you to you all at its heart, the christmas is one of hospitality and compassion . so i'm actually and compassion. so i'm actually and compassion. so i'm actually and i are both pleased to welcome here tonight to join us many of our friends from ukraine who have found shelter here in

britain. but also winners of all points of lights award and of course, our men and women from catterick garrison all the way in own constituency. so without further ado, let's this countdown. are you ready ? yeah. countdown. are you ready? yeah. okay five, four, three, two, one. oh so here you got sagittarius thinking . okay, well sagittarius thinking. okay, well that was you say, not turning on the christmas lies outside downing street, surrounded by you refugees and. what looks like a band. great great. yeah okay , let's go back to our okay, let's go back to our health stuff i think, because this nhs nurses strike possibly affects more people than whether or not you see. well, probably we're the electricity bill for the army, but there we go a nice touch. would maybe i'm

touch. some would say maybe i'm being don't call me the being cynical. don't call me the ganh being cynical. don't call me the grinch i believe we grinch don't at me. i believe we can now back jobs johnson can now go back to jobs johnson who there we go. sorry who yes, there we go. sorry about that, caroline. you got you before the christmas you got before the christmas lights one point am lights at one point that i am assuming you not be using assuming you will not be using the money to pay for the taxpayers money to pay for any christmas parties. any of your christmas parties. but got so quite but i've got you on so quite a lot. so so i what is it enough for our health secretary to say that his door open for that his door is open for negotiations, not be proactively seeking them ? because if i was seeking them? because if i was waiting chemotherapy or and waiting for chemotherapy or and the nurses have said to me we are definitely striking the 15th of the 20th might want the of the 20th i might want the health secretary to go to them rather asking to come him . i rather asking to come to him. i think you'll playing with semantics there. i'm going. i think the keenness is the key . think the keenness is the key. how we go to health century is willing to engage and we do and that's for me is the it helps that's for me is the it helps that he's keen to engage we have a health secretary and the government that have taken on board the views of the independent pay review body whose job is to look at all the

factors and see what the appropriate pay reviews responses and we have a government that despite the very difficult times that we find ourselves in at the moment still protected the and still increase the number of number of people working in the right just in terms of the 4000 more doctors 9000 more nurses we've got more scans, more procedures , sorts of scans, more procedures, sorts of additional activity happening. yes, demand is high. the backlog is huge, but don't improve that by having a strike and it would appear to me anyway will over the weekend. lisa nandy said that she agrees that this is unaffordable completely 19.2% pay unaffordable completely 19.2% pay rise even if they come down from that. i mean, frankly, you'd have to go quite a long way down from 19.2% for it to be affordable. you are on the committee this there would appear to be cross—party support saying this is a ridiculous idea and they need lower their demands, which would frankly that no matter who was in charge right now, whether it was the labour the conservative

labour or the conservative party, the nurses wouldn't be getting they want . well getting what they want. well well, you know, if 90.2% is what they want, then then at the moment that is, i believe unaffordable. i think it's worth noticing that this was this vote was done trust by trust the no old will be on strike . quite a old will be on strike. quite a substantial number of trusts . i substantial number of trusts. i call this 40% all on strike of politics. and i'm not strike but study a substantial number of trusts the threshold was not met for strike action so they won't be striking . could i just ask be striking. could i just ask you a question very quickly because i'm being pressed for time. have if patients suffer poor care become ill or die as a result which we hope never happens as a result these strikes would support them trying to sue for medical negligence for people striking a potential 19.2% pay rise. given how unreasonable that demand is , i think the key thing is we, don't we, to ensure these strikes don't and i i've got to

i've got to pursue this. i can see this coming if they do. and people suffer. would you support them pushing for medical negligence ? i don't think i negligence? i don't think i don't think the key thing is the nhs is under pressure it's had record amounts of investment with the covid backlog is going to record amount of demands as well . and i think we all need to well. and i think we all need to work together to support it. and that doesn't no, think that doesn't no, i don't think so. in the in those context would help the nhs and i don't think asking for 19.2% pay rise helps you. that's either i think we need to we need to pull together support. you know we're very lucky to have a fabulous health service with wonderful staff and remember they get wonderful outcomes every day. they know millions of people every day . and i think we need every day. and i think we need to do that. we need to look after . all right. thank you after. all right. thank you very, very much . appreciate you very, very much. appreciate you taking the time for us. and hanging on rishi sunak's and hanging on my rishi sunak's and the on well. that was the lights on as well. that was lovely. caroline johnson, lovely. dr. caroline johnson, conservative mp, member of commons social care commons health and social care committee. fascinating.

commons health and social care comright.3. fascinating. commons health and social care com right. we fascinating. commons health and social care com right. we somewhat g. commons health and social care com right. we somewhat ,. not right. we got somewhat, didn't we? we got some more when it out what the it came to actually out what the government offered the government has offered the roughly rise roughly speaking a 4% pay rise on of the 4% pay rise they on top of the 4% pay rise they had elsewhere. this on 3% earlier for some of the people right on the that might equate to 85.6% rise. they as in to 85.6% pay rise. they as in the nurses now what i'm saying this once about a 19.2% pay rise so we've got a little bit of progress in terms of what the government offering them. do government is offering them. do you government should you think government should offer them more? you? offer them any more? do you? that's about fascinating that's about right. fascinating would as well when. would not be drawn as well when. it issue of it came to the issue of potential. can see this coming potential. i can see this coming a mile the way, medical a mile off. by the way, medical negligence claims for people striking striking striking if they do striking based completely demands based on completely demands unaffordable and patients suffering i can't suffering as a result i can't see those medical negligence claims coming absolute off is claims coming an absolute off is gb news dot uk but they're arm cam matt hancock got grief from on from across the show to continue in his political career. the former health secretary third in the reality show i'm a celebrity get me out of here last night but this mean

all is forgiven. do forgive my uncle. do you think he had other things to be forgiven for? there we go. we will be back in just a tick when we talk about little marty hancock .

right little marty hancock time people are you and a celebrity. funny you are. matt hancock . do funny you are. matt hancock. do you think you should have been given the chance to resurrect what remained his political what remained of his political career. looks though career. but it looks as though he wants to continue as a local mp, his spokesperson , which is mp, his spokesperson, which is presumably just his lover , says presumably just his lover, says that intention standing that no intention of standing down. no intention of down. he no intention of standing down from politics as the former health secretary faces a fresh set of questions, his following his his future following his appearance on the hit itv show, mr. hancock surpassed expectations of many as he reached last night's finally came third in a public and he

lost out i think rightly so really to line as a national treasure 2020 to champion line ask jill scott on hollyoaks actor owen warner, who did remarkably well for his japanese struggles to string a sentence together. but what's next for matt ? joining me now is matt? joining me now is entertainment journalist and broadcaster dowler. some broadcaster sam dowler. some i found myself falling into a terrible i don't like hancock i think he has a very unfortunate face he looks like a strange of a high pressure glazing salesman and a labrador trying to lick an ice cream from the wrong side of a window pane and i don't forgive him for everything that went on during the coronavirus crisis, but i must say i thought he was good in the jungle who am i? so what have i become become 7 i? so what have i become become ? well, this is the thing is tv and, politics two very different but also what's similar things i mean obviously had you know nadine dorries was in the jungle. i mean some people would forget she was voted out straight away . and obviously you

straight away. and obviously you knew you had plenty more. and on the splash like you making a splash and but obviously this is a form of contentious issue because obviously what happened , the pandemic and because of his is his flouting the rules. but i have to say , obviously, but i have to say, obviously, the you know, the tory party , the you know, the tory party, that room there , people right in that room there, people right in the doldrums and. this is a man who's come third in 12 million, 12 million viewers, etc. so, i mean , people, the british people mean, people, the british people are obviously willing to forgive certain things and ultimately are a democracy. you know, if you want if you want to stand again in the next general, it's up to his constituents. but all of that all of that question marks over whether or not itv should have let happen because it was the public versus the station of a man who made a decision that did mean some people, if you'll excuse the rather cross analogy, could not be resuscitated . people died in be resuscitated. people died in care homes. people over the course of the pandemic and. itv

chose revive him. didn't i? i've said it before. i'll say it again. what next is it, shamima begum in the jungle. well you might find her in the big brother house. you know this is itv, channel five. i mean, all the channels, it's ratings, isn't it? and you know, in the fire we have talked about it non stop means itv got exactly they wanted he was worth every penny that they paid him. you know obviously is know you know you read the vitriol online hear that you had you know, presenters on on on gb news say like they didn't want him to be in that but and even seeing like having to do horrific things it is you know being a celebrity is huge privilege and you know , huge privilege and you know, he's and he's lived in certain cities into it. and you know, when done and done and done more pr wise for the tory party than any of them have done because everybody everybody them. everybody everybody hates them. does the every ally you does does the every ally you have that one is look you make history, you make a series of good points . so you do

history, you make a series of good points. so you do make a series of good points in short and sweet so i'm afraid. but much needed. thank you very much. doubted that as much. some doubted that dan as a journalist, a broadcaster, i am increasingly on the fence about, mongkok the mongkok and i think that the reason why he's really famous is because he was health, if you can call it is because he was health secretary a pandemic and i think pulls that up and i think he pulls that up and therefore i don't think he should be ripping in the hundreds thousands of pounds hundreds of thousands of pounds if when you it all at if not when you toss it all at given the reality work given the other reality work he's do millions of he's going to do millions of pounds rich off pounds becoming rich off the back my opinion some of back in my opinion of some of the and scandals that the mistakes and scandals that he charge that he did he was in charge of that he did do some good things. we had the vaccine rollout. was he just following orders? of following the orders? some of the well. the medical community as well. so there is that side of it. very much so. he came across very much so. but he came across to rather well and also, to me rather well and also, i must say as well, rather and i'm going to come back to this just bear with me because am going bear with me because i am going to return to that. i actually think my uncle did alright in the but i hate to say, the jungle. but i hate to say, but go. you'll be me. but there we go. you'll be me. patrick news. coming patrick christys gb news. coming up, blame for the

staff during possible strikes this winter . staff during possible strikes this winter. health staff during possible strikes this winter . health officials this winter. health officials are drawing up contingencies to cover frontline as ambulance drivers . paramedics consider drivers. paramedics consider joining nurses in their upcoming walkouts . the health secretary walkouts. the health secretary steve barclay says they're concerned about the impact the action could have on patients . action could have on patients. well no formal request has made by the department of health to the military. but of course we look as part of our normal contingency plans and a range of opfions. contingency plans and a range of options . the priority for me contingency plans and a range of options. the priority for me is to continue the dialogue with the trade unions with the rcn , the trade unions with the rcn, i've been extremely clear that my door is open. they have raised a range of issues not just pay but also about working conditions. patient safety. and so i'm very happy to continue that. so i'm very happy to continue that . the foreign secretary is that. the foreign secretary is backing the to peaceful protests in china over covid restrictions. protesters turned out again this despite a strong police presence . it follows police presence. it follows demonstrations at the weekend

which started after ten people were killed in a fire at an apartment block protest that has blamed quarantine measures, saying prevented the victims from escaping . james cleverly from escaping. james cleverly says the chinese government should take notice of these protests. this is rare that chinese people protests publicly like this , they know the risks. like this, they know the risks. in fact, some the protesters are saying they know the risks , but saying they know the risks, but it's something they feel incredibly strongly about. and as i say, because are a rarity, i think that both the international community should take. but more importantly, the government itself should listen to what the chinese people are saying to them . national grid saying to them. national grid has decided not to introduce energy saving scheme tomorrow. paying households if they cut power usage. the move would have been the first ever live run if the operators flexibility service designed to ease pressure on the country's energy grid and avoid blackouts . the grid and avoid blackouts. the government's launching a £1

billion scheme to make middle income homes more energy efficient . the three year scheme efficient. the three year scheme will see hundreds of thousands of homes receive loft and cavity wall insulation from the spring. households that don't currently get support to upgrade their homes will be prioritised whilst a fifth of the funding will be set aside. the most vulnerable business secretary grant shapps told us. the will help households reduce their energy consumption . this billion pounds consumption. this billion pounds which is in addition to a lot more money been provided previously, is to allow anyone in any kind of housing could be private rent. it could be their own home to be so to improve property in order to make sure that it meets those higher standards and that will save quite a lot of money . shadow quite a lot of money. shadow business secretary jonathan reynolds told gb news labour wants to insulate 19 million homes as soon as possible . it's homes as soon as possible. it's about ten years too late. i mean , should have been a quick,

early win for the government reducing people's fuel bills , reducing people's fuel bills, doing thing by the doing the right thing by the environment. i mean, it's a win win. why has it taken so long? this government the this government have neither the ambition direction . of ambition or the direction. of course, when they course, i welcome when they a little bit onto our territory whether windfall whether it's windfall tax or greater energy efficiency ambition. but got nowhere near the comprehensive . they need to the comprehensive. they need to get this country onto the right. this gb news will bring you more news as it happens now with back to patrick . to patrick. yes. okay, ladies , gentlemen, yes. okay, ladies, gentlemen, that breaking news you can see that breaking news you can see that when the big news breaks, it breaks right. here with me, patrick christys on gb news. in the last few moments , the last few moments, immigration minister robert jenrick there jenrick has confirmed there has been cases of diphtheria reported in asylum accommodation . earlier this afternoon, the health secretary barclay insisted the rest the public

getting diphtheria is quote , getting diphtheria is quote, very low despite a rise in the number of infections being recorded among asylum seekers and. clearly those people being dispersed, it would appear now willy nilly right across the country. it comes as gb news that almost 450 people in nine small boats have crossed the channel today. and more than 50 conservative mpas have written rishi sunak calling on a crackdown for these illegal crossings. have a migrant crisis. we have a health crisis and we have a legal crisis. when it comes to that's going on in the channel it's a hot mess. joining me in the studio is gb news is home security. mark white. mark, let's with the latest line, which is the diphtheria numbers . yeah, diphtheria numbers. yeah, there's no ties. it's concerning. we were told a couple of weeks ago that there was four people had tested positive for diphtheria who had into the ftx processing centre into the ftx processing centre in kent . now that figure has in kent. now that figure has been revised upwards to 50 and the more worrying of that is that there's no one up mast ftx

any more. so you can assume that those 50 individuals have been sent off to accommodation around the country with ten accommodation, mainly in hotels right around the country. now the government is trying to accentuate , positive or try to accentuate, positive or try to allay fears by, suggesting that it's not wider threat to the uk population because most of the vast majority of people in this country will have been inoculated for diphtheria when they were a child. however we do know that just in the last 1020 years, population of the country has grown by more six or 7 million people who've come in largely, often from countries where diphtheria , inoculations where diphtheria, inoculations will not been on offer. so they may well not be immune. they fall ill. that's going to impact the health service . so it is the health service. so it is a concern . it is a massive concern

concern. it is a massive concern for people and people have a right to be concerned. and it's important that we should carefully here, but not so that things get swept under the carpet. anyone there right carpet. anyone out there right now a right be now just have a right to be concerned about public health when it comes to the dispersion of migrants across the country in different hotels. when we look the various cases, look at the various cases, that's not to say there's trope of we know. people come here of all we know. people come here carrying us all carrying diseases, making us all ill. but the fact is that clearly is an issue. and the conditions that they've lived in or been moving through european, etc. have contributed to that. i know in local rural areas will cities have a right to be genuinely concerned about whether or not their health could be impacted as , a result could be impacted as, a result of certain people being plonked into their area. but it's not just that mark, is it? because, as you rightly said earlier, on it's just a health crisis. there is a numbers crisis and a potential legal crisis when it comes to the government as well. more today crossing the more numbers today crossing the channel yeah. mean, i think channel yeah. i mean, i think the important thing on the health get is officials health to get over is officials

are saying that these people are coming across the channel, having a disease prior to entering the uk and we know that conditions in these makeshift camps in areas around , dunkirk camps in areas around, dunkirk in calais are pretty horrendous at times. and these individuals can be there for weeks, months at a time . so there is a real at a time. so there is a real concern that public health officials, as as border officials, as as border officials have to grapple with with these individuals coming into the uk and, they are coming, as you see, patrick, in ever greater numbers. we've had to because of bad weather , a to because of bad weather, a break, a lull you like in the numbers crossing the channel for about a fortnight but today we had to break or the weather conditions improved to the point where the sea conditions in the channel the waves were non—existent flat really and

that allowed more boats to come across. nine small boats almost 450 people have been taking a look at the latest numbers coming and the pressures on the government government . just government government. just after first light, the border force typhoon could be approaching dover harbour with the first of hundreds of migrants picked up in the channel. this morning . around 50 channel. this morning. around 50 people were taken on board typhoon for the journey . the typhoon for the journey. the dover processing centre for more than a fortnight. dover processing centre for more than a fortnight . bad weather than a fortnight. bad weather has largely attempts by the criminal to push boats off the beaches of north western. in fact , the 13th of november, just fact, the 13th of november, just one small boat with 36 people on board has made across the engush board has made across the english channel. but conditions are now calm, meaning some of the thousands who've been waiting in various makeshift camps around and cali are being

funnelled down to the and on to the boats increasingly frustrated at the government's seeming inability to get a grip on the crisis . around 50 on the crisis. around 50 conservative mps have written to the prime minister , demanding he the prime minister, demanding he introduce emergency legislation to deal in particular with the number of arriving in small . number of arriving in small. they want albanians rapidly removed back to their own country . and danny, who claimed country. and danny, who claimed to have been trapped but also returned home. one of the problems is the longer you take more appeals, you get. harsh truth here . for a couple of truth here. for a couple of weeks, they'll a british lawyer and away they go . if they're and away they go. if they're here for a couple years to, they'll meet somebody, get married children. and then then the is over. they can stay . they the is over. they can stay. they have family rights . so the have family rights. so the cooking do the better. are you concerned about the spread of

other diseases? some psychiatric . it is yet more pressure . the . it is yet more pressure. the home secretary already dealing with the consequences of dozens of migrants who were infected with diphtheria , being farmed with diphtheria, being farmed out to very as hotels around the uk even though they were highly infectious . the home secretary infectious. the home secretary and i updated on the situation over the weekend by danger harries of the uk, hhs who confirmed to that 50 cases of diphtheria have been reported in asylum accommodation. it's to emphasise that the uk hsa has been that the risk to the wider population from onward transmission of diphtheria is very low, thanks in no small part to our excellent childhood immunise . the asian programme . immunise. the asian programme. it is a growing health crisis within a migrant crisis that shows no sign of slowing with good weather conditions throughout most this week.

authorities are braced for the possibility that thousands more could cross the channel in the days. could cross the channel in the days . mark white gb news. okay days. mark white gb news. okay let's just what so two big bits of breaking news when it comes to what's been going on in the channel and the related asylum seeker crisis that took place dunng seeker crisis that took place during show. the first one is that at least 450 people, as we understand, that have arrived today in nine not so small boats, but the other big one. this happened just moments ago is jenrick has is that robert jenrick has confirmed that there been confirmed that there have been 50 cases of diphtheria reported as asylum accommodation . as asylum seeker accommodation. huge concerns of people about this . yes, i understand that the this. yes, i understand that the government is saying risk is government is saying the risk is relatively yes understand relatively small. yes understand that high that we have quite high inoculation diphtheria inoculation against diphtheria and other illnesses as well. however it is still a concern for people and people have a right to be concerned about the dispersal of these people right across the country and look, when it comes to the sheer numbers of it, people are told, oh, not really allowed to

oh, you're not really allowed to have a view on that. that would make racist. the numbers make you a racist. the numbers get absolutely get published is absolutely shocking top of shocking and they come on top of the migration figures above the net migration figures above half and all a half a million, and all of a sudden looks like maybe we do sudden it looks like maybe we do have be a bit have a right to be a bit concerned about it. but then of course we say, wait a minute, not all of these people like children or as they're there may not all of these people like chiobviouslys they're there may not all of these people like chiobviously fleeingz there may not all of these people like chiobviously fleeing a:here may not all of these people like chiobviously fleeing a ware may not all of these people like chiobviously fleeing a war is1ay be obviously fleeing a war is that you possibly say that you can't possibly say that. that makes you that. then that makes you a racist and then it turns that albania actually a safe albania is actually a safe country and people possibly could there. so you could be sent back there. so you are to say now are now allowed to say and now it's of well, it's coming, lines of well, you're really allowed to say you're not really allowed to say that. you don't want these people in hotels in your area because makes you racist. because that makes you a racist. and then start plonking and then they start plonking them hotels up down the them in hotels up and down the country, including rural country, including in rural areas, of local areas, ruining a lot of local economies, the for economies, putting up the for bill local upwards of bill local councils, upwards of a and clogging up a million quid and clogging up pubuc a million quid and clogging up public may be public where we now may be allowed on that. and then allowed a view on that. and then it goes well, you can't really say that i'm fearing for public health these people health if. some of these people maybe are bringing maybe they are bringing with them diseases. them slight diseases. oh, no, you because that you can't say that because that makes a racist. now it's makes you a racist. now it's

happening, isn't it? so that we go anyway. gb is a gb news uk state because we're going to return big discussion a return that big discussion a little public little bit about actual public health when it comes health concerns when it comes to what going channel what was going in the channel gbs at gbnews.uk. kind of sticking with a little health theme because the health secretary, steve barclay has insisted his door is open to resuming with health resuming talks with health unions as he arrives in downing street. added with the street. added talks with the prime minister. because was prime minister. it's because was basically going be a basically there's going be a massive strike and this is a 15th and the 20th of december. here's what he had to say earlier. priority me is to continue the dialogue with the trade unions, with the rcn. i've been extremely clear . my door is been extremely clear. my door is open. been extremely clear. my door is open . they have raised a range open. they have raised a range of issues, not just pay, but also about working conditions , also about working conditions, safety and. so i'm very happy to continue dialogue with the rcn . continue dialogue with the rcn. but alongside that, it's right that with colleagues, with hospital leaders that we look at our contingency plans and ensure we as best as we can recognise ,

we as best as we can recognise, that there will be impacts on patients if the strikes go ahead . yes, right. but this works both these gentlemen are you and i and everyone we know is a customer of the nhs and we are customers because we pay for it. okay. the nhs is not free. all pay a okay. the nhs is not free. all pay a walloping boatload of in order to have a national health service have right to service and we have a right to know the government is know what the government is doing stop these. nurses want doing to stop these. nurses want 19.2. the government was very very quiet and remains very quiet on what it actually is offering them return. i had offering them in return. i had to speak to a conservative mp and member of the house select committee, caroline johnson to delve down in this and get you some answers in my understanding is this money comes on top of the 3% they were given last the 3% that they were given last when everybody and it's worth noting that everyone else in the pubuc noting that everyone else in the public had to pay frozen public sector had to pay frozen last year. but the other nurses had and it just agenda for change people had missed 3. well i certainly think that 19.2% is

too a figure. nurses do a fantastic job as a doctor. i work alongside some really amazing nurses during my career but 19.2% is three times the average pay that private pay deal. average pay that private pay deal . and it's clearly something deal. and it's clearly something that in current context that is not affordable in terms of striking. i look i saw some figures at the weekend women waiting for gynaecological appointments . those figures appointments. those figures showed that before the pandemic 54 five for women were waiting more than a year to see a gynaecologist then that number is now over 4000 women and when that's just gynaecology , when that's just gynaecology, when we're looking at a backlog of that scale, when people are waiting in discomfort for operations of procedures and appointments of various sorts , i appointments of various sorts, i just think to go on strike at this point will only increase that wait , only increase the that wait, only increase the suffering of people and i would urge them to look at default because that is door is open for

negotiations. and i hope that they will come to some of agreement. before i it is 52 december. yes but also rather crucially, one of the things she did say to me, which was that she understands the government has said, okay, we will give you another percent, we'll give another percent, so we'll give nurses 4% on top of the nurses another 4% on top of the 4. they had earlier this year. in 3% had the year in the 3% they had the year before for those the before that for those at the very lowest of the nhs pay very lowest end of the nhs pay scale, nurses scale. she scale, the nurses pay scale. she understood that caroline understood it that caroline johnson is a member of, the health committee and health select committee and a conservative doctor no less. conservative mp doctor no less. she thought that that would be 5.6, which would equate to roughly 1400 quid for people who are right at the lowest end of the pay scale, which i think is an interesting offer in scotland, they've managed stave off strikes for now , offering off strikes for now, offering them 7.5. and i want to give you a little bit more detail on this, so the demands from the royal college of nursing, what's on the table so the royal college of nursing is demanding workers pay rise of 5% workers receive a pay rise of 5% above inflation. inflation is

around 11.1. that an average nurse's toleration, 34, sorry, £34,000, i should say, to 39,000, 718 members of the royal college of nursing will walk out in england, wales and northern ireland on the 15th, on 20th of december, on friday, we found out that any walk out in scotland been postponed, not cancelled after government cancelled after the government there reopened nhs pay negotiations. it's believed that they want to offer them around 7. but there we go. the government say that the demand from the royal of nursing all closer to a 99.2% pay rise which both this government and the labour from benches admit unaffordable. it would cost us you and i, the taxpayer, around 10 billion quid a year if they met those demands. but finally, let's look at what's on the table. as i mentioned, strike action in scotland is on hold after the scottish government's final pay offer averaged 7.5. they called that strike off for now, at least in and wales nhs . now, at least in and wales nhs.

staff were awarded a pay rise of 4% earlier this year. now that was awarded earlier this year. importantly and this , the big importantly and this, the big development that we've had so far on show as we understand that they may have been offered another 4% on top of that. and that was lie. we managed to that was big lie. we managed to coax out someone on the coax out of someone on the health committee said health select committee said whether you believe whether or not you believe that's would be roughly that's enough would be roughly speaking percent in year, speaking percent in a year, wouldn't it ? i appreciate wouldn't it? i appreciate inflation through the roof, inflation is through the roof, but 19.2% is a bit but you know, 19.2% is a bit rich. well someone who can talk to us about the practicalities of drafting in the army because that's what we might be about to do potentially in the do potentially drafting in the military order deal with military in order to deal with this former british army this is former british army commander of commander and chairman of cobra intelligence colonel intelligence group, colonel richard . colonel, we'll see richard kemp. colonel, we'll see you now it colonel logical. you now as it colonel logical. thank you very much to have you on the show. well, this actually work one thing saying work is one thing saying drafting got all the drafting in the army got all the time. no milk the time. there's no milk on. the shelves at bring the army. shelves at tesco bring the army. no do bring the army no can't do this. bring the army in border force is not in this border force is not going army in. well going to bring the army in. well all right, fine. but if i need

tracheotomy fitted on the pavement, can we bring army pavement, can we bring the army in? sure any of your in? i'm not sure any of your listeners your viewers will listeners or your viewers will want to see this particular colonel if had a medical colonel if they had a medical problem. but yeah, i mean, the armed not just the army, but the navy and the air force as well, although the army normally bears the brunt of these. the armed forces will be able to provide assistance . so now there are assistance. so now there are medical people , the forces, medical people, the forces, including doctors nurses and other medical staff and of course, sort of thing people who can drive ambulances , who can can drive ambulances, who can carry out on their duties for the nhs needed. but of course all of these things have an impact on the army itself. you know, there are a huge number of members of forces today who are involved in the war in afghanistan, not in ukraine. i beg your pardon? not employed there, but in supporting the effort, training ukrainian troops, etc, etc, etc. and many the others should be prepared and training in case worst

happens and the worst could happen, it gets more and more dangerous every day in the world. can i just you just to just ask because . we're a bit just ask because. we're a bit tight for time. colonel richard wood. then i'll be a little bit a bad taste in the mouth if nurse is have been offered as we understand that in some cases a 5.6% pay rise on top of the 4% pay 5.6% pay rise on top of the 4% pay rise they had earlier this yeah pay rise they had earlier this year. on top of the 3% pay rise, they got last year, if they now strike back because they want a point 2% pay rise on the people who have to come to fill that void. all members of our armed forces who i dare say they are on average may be on a similar amount and certainly have not been given anything like that amount to rise in the last few years. that presumably would leave quite a bad taste in the mouth for. a lot of people in our armed forces, would it not? i don't think so really i mean, they obviously they will notice us and they will think, well, why are we standing for these why are we standing in for these people they're better paid

people when? they're better paid than. we're not than. well, yes. and we're not a decent rise. of course, will decent pay rise. of course, will be that. but beauty of our be that. but the beauty of our armed is that whatever armed forces is that whatever they're they go on, they're told to do, they go on, do and they don't worry do it, and they don't worry about sort of things unduly. they of them will lose they some of them will lose their result of having their leave a result of having to involved. they will to get involved. so they will suffer personally, indirectly but always they but nevertheless, as always they will get on with it and do will just get on with it and do it and do their duty for the country. because correct me if i'm wrong, but that's the job they to, isn't it? they signed up to, isn't it? could nurses learn thing or two from forces ? well, i from our armed forces? well, i think nurses could. and think many nurses could. and many members of the country, many, many people in jobs could learn something from the armed forces, get on and do your duty and recognise that the country's going through enormous difficulties and perhaps this isn't the time add those isn't the time to add those difficulties. i think difficulties. and i think members armed forces set members of the armed forces set a very very good example to pretty much everybody else when it to knowing what your it comes to knowing what your duty where your duty lies duty is and where your duty lies . you've put that . yeah, i think you've put that incredibly thank very, very incredibly thank you very, very much. that is , well, frankly, an much. that is, well, frankly, an absolute top dog former british

army commander and the chairman of the cobra intelligence group, colonel richard , reacting to colonel richard, reacting to this that supposedly this news that supposedly anyway, nurses will going on strike the 15th and the 20th of december in england and in wales and in northern ireland and that comes despite the fact that we right on gb news that the right here on gb news that the latest that they have been latest is that they have been offered some cases, a 5.6% offered, in some cases, a 5.6% pay offered, in some cases, a 5.6% pay rise on top of the 4% pay rise that earlier on top of the 3% pay rise, they opted for the and they might be striking and we'll have to bring the army in here. we're all on average similar to our last wage and certainly have not had that kind of cash sent their of dollar up of cash sent their way despite they by the way despite job they do, by the way, nurses might strike way, the nurses might strike over pay the irony over a 19.2% pay rise. the irony do not think of people do you not think of people filling nurses on less filling in for nurses on less money without any of demand for that kind of pay rise ? despite that kind of pay rise? despite doing a much more dangerous job? why? because it's our duty. i'm sorry i'm going this. sorry. i'm going off this. nurses strike even than i was before. anyway, there go. are before. anyway, there we go. are with patrick christys gb with me. patrick christys on gb news prime

tony blair and drag was kicking and something tony blair and drag was kicking and that something tony blair and drag was kicking and that we something tony blair and drag was kicking and that we never something tony blair and drag was kicking and that we never askedthing tony blair and drag was kicking and that we never asked for?i tony blair and drag was kicking and that we never asked for? it else that we never asked for? it comes new analysis reveals comes as new analysis reveals that growth that uk. export growth fallen behind other major behind that of other major economies, including germany and despite claims by the conservative government that brexit would boost business overseas to talk now to overseas. i want to talk now to markov transit, who's a markov in transit, who's a geopolitical analyst and an incredibly suave chap , clearly. incredibly suave chap, clearly. and marco, thank you very much . and marco, thank you very much. do think that tony blair is do you think that tony blair is and should have closer and we should have closer cooperation with the european union or ? should tony blair shut union or? should tony blair shut up and go away to tony blair as an international brand name, anything that he says will make or make major headlines, particularly it's from himself or from his institute . the or from his institute. the bottom line is that he's building many in the will be sympathetic to him to conclusions of that report. but is political realities on the ground , the political reality on ground, the political reality on the ground is that brexit is moving forward , going to take moving forward, going to take time. it took years in the making to reach the brexit referendum and it's going to take years for the implementation. so as ongoing process, there's going to be ups

and downs. so only time will tell. and i think it's the responsibility of all the political leader, whether it's conservatives and the tories, one second it's important for them to make clear in the most unequivocal terms that the process is moving forward because living in very because we're living in very unstable if they allow room unstable. and if they allow room for this type of chatter to become more and more prevalent , become more and more prevalent, what happens is that the un sit on the unstable further destabilises, the unstable status quo and this uncertainty is going to remain for years. so such. is going to remain for years. so such . that's why political such. that's why political leadership is important elected officials to make it clear where things are heading. yes, indeed. now, since the actual evening of that brexit vote, we had years of indecision dither, delay, catastrophe . and finally we got catastrophe. and finally we got something that looked like a brexit deal that we were slammed straight into a global pandemic . but since all of that , we've . but since all of that, we've then had a war in ukraine. we've had a channel migrant crisis that not going away. we've had

netminder rotation and record levels . then on top of that, we levels. then on top of that, we like our exports aren't doing particularly well. rather unfortunately , it appears to be unfortunately, it appears to be building case that brexit has not really worked. so had the intended consequences. but do you think that some fair? because he's not really been given the opportunity to work. has it ? once again, i'll use has it? once again, i'll use those word process. it'll take years. and at the early stages of that implementation, there's everything that you mentioned, the pandemic , the war in ukraine the pandemic, the war in ukraine is the perfect of all the worst possible factors can happen. so it's basically this perfect storm is unfolding. you're trying to implement the brexit process, which even complicates it even more. so i think at this stage it has to be made clear by the political leadership in the country where things are country of where things are heading of chatter heading this any kind of chatter of trying reverse the process is only to further create uncertainty in very uncertain environment. so yes it's going to take and we're talking several years, not talking several years, we're not talking the to 3 years. this an the next 2 to 3 years. this an ongoing process. sort of an ongoing process. it's sort of an

experiment to certain experiment station to a certain extent, supports or one extent, whether supports or one was for brexit , against brexit was for brexit, against brexit claim point to have that clarity . the real establishment, not just from the governing party but also from the opposition . but also from the opposition. okay right, mark. i think it's just bit of an issue that with your connection, unfortunately but thank you very, very much. it's great to have on the show. we did manage to get all of the marco and chen zino who is geopolitical analyst. what do you of that, and you make of that, ladies and gentlemen? want to gentlemen? look, i just want to talk you and move on now to talk to you and move on now to something else that we have been covering throughout the course of show. conservative of this show. a conservative former david former cabinet minister, david davis, accused the office of davis, has accused the office of having fair approach to having a lazy, fair approach to asylum which asylum seeker dispersal, which he was odds with the he argued was at odds with the government saying it serious concern for public health. right government saying it serious concwe've' public health. right government saying it serious concwe've got3lic health. right government saying it serious concwe've got absolutely right government saying it serious concwe've got absolutely to ght government saying it serious concwe've got absolutely to get now we've got absolutely to get stuck into here , which we will stuck into here, which we will do right now because . there is do right now because. there is a crisis in the channel when it comes to the sheer numbers, people coming over we've people coming over and we've already live already reported it was live breaking here on. this show breaking news here on. this show we coming over

we had 450 people coming over today and not so small boats. okay so that happened. that was after about fortnight's worth after about a fortnight's worth of to weather of a load due to weather conditions. we've got the numbers . we've numbers issue now. we've also had bit breaking that had another bit of breaking that came on this show, 50 came through on this show, 50 cases of detected at asylum accommodation and massive concern now about the fact that these people many of these people might have just dispersed right across europe because european union across the united kingdom i should say people who are little around the are in little areas around the uk who maybe had concerns about what going on the channel for what going on in the channel for a long time just told that a long time were just told that you're a closet racist and you're a closet racist and you're wrong about this . and you're wrong about this. and let's just have a look at it, shall we, and break it. record numbers of crossing the channel. more than 42,000 people so far this year. a lot of people were looking at these boats coming across and thinking it all across and thinking why it all single ? do all of these single man? do all of these people look outwardly as though they are fleeing a war zone in syria or afghanistan down or somewhere in the middle east? do

all of them really look like children? i saw all of those people. the answer to all of those was no. we were those things was no. we were told how. come on, your race this. these people are genuinely fleeing persecution. sure. and then out. don't then the numbers come out. don't they, as the sheer number of people coming from people who are coming from albania, a safe albania, which is a safe country, safe country, country, a safe country, agreed to a country. but both to be a safe country. but both labour and the and these emerge now that a lot of these people are not children and it's emerged a lot of these emerged now that a lot of these people are actually coming here to and really to seek crime and not really to seek asylum. then it's emerged on asylum. and then it's emerged on top that, that they're having their case rejected and their asylum case rejected and they're system by saying they're up our system by saying that victims human that the victims of human trafficking modern where if trafficking or modern where if you're the victim in modern slavery any slavery you won't have any problem going to where you problem going back to where you originally to originally didn't want to be taken away and then taken away from now and then people when just on this people when a little bit of a when i've got a little bit of a problem with a migrant hotel in my area what about safety both of the people in the hotel and the surrounding well we've the surrounding area. well we've had a teenage had cases allegedly a teenage boy a migrant boy being raped in a migrant hotel. had it's been hotel. we've had it's been revealed of children, children

go missing margaret. and it go missing from margaret. and it tells people absconding. and now we've health crisis we've got this health crisis taking which supposedly taking place, which supposedly anywhere around 50 cases of dip area in migrant accommodation and now they've been sent out around the united kingdom and all of a sudden i think people are waking up to what we are seeing before our eyes is actually happening and those people cannot now call is just you i suppose little you know i suppose little frothing with agenda frothing racists with an agenda when got an when we're actually got an opinion what realistically opinion about what realistically happening our eyes i mean happening before our eyes i mean he's absolutely staggering that we're ever that situation we're ever in that situation many gbviews@gbnews.uk for in case it sounded like i was filling time there i was filling for time there i was because can now coexist. wolf because we can now coexist. wolf it director centre for it was the director centre for migration and prosperity, stephen rice , you are concerned stephen rice, you are concerned with lack of screening for people and, the threat that this poses communities and, this is straight off the back rather conveniently in a morbid central of robert jenrick revealing . of robert jenrick revealing. whilst i was on air, there's been 50 cases of death here at migrant processing centres. those people now presumably out

and about across the uk . and about across the uk. absolutely. patrick, you you've got it knocked on the head when people were saying that were racist for raising the issue that all these illegal migrants asylum seekers coming across from afghanistan syria to countries of pakistan, iran and iraq that they would be bringing diseases with them . and now we diseases with them. and now we can see that we've got deep farea, that 50 cases, as robert jenrick said , already died. but jenrick said, already died. but my was that we were aware of this from the 27th of august 2021. as released today, a letter that was confidential, supposedly secret but sent out to all the heads of the nhs trusts . all the doctors at the trusts. all the doctors at the nhs trusts , all the heads of the nhs trusts, all the heads of the nhs, nurses at those trusts warning them that these people would be bringing in tb diphtheria and a number of a communicable . so the government communicable. so the government has been aware of this for over a year now. a lot of people say

the first duty of a government is to protect its own citizens at all costs . i've got huge at all costs. i've got huge concerns about just general pubuc concerns about just general public when it comes to people. we don't know exactly who they are or where they're from, what their intentions are being allowed out across the united and allowed to come and go disconcertingly. really from disconcertingly. go really from these hotels and. on top of that, we have health concern now. and so the government, it could argued, is letting us down on fronts. safety and health on two fronts. safety and health , there's no doubt they've been letting down. now they're letting down. now they're letting us down on the health because we've seen that from those letters in august of last yeah those letters in august of last year. and we're seeing now with the area cases, we know the four area cases, we know that letting down on that letting this down on security because europol and own security because europol and own security services have warned about the increase of albanian criminal gangs in the cocaine marijuana illegal trafficking of people's areas. we know there are those sneaking through into other areas. we don't even know whether there are any terrorists out there as well the fact that

we're letting them in, not checking the monitoring them and continue seeing they are continue seeing where they are is danger . continue seeing where they are is danger. our security now? is a danger. our security now? yeah. no fair enough. the government has come and said that these cases are all the risks of public safety is low and. right, fine. and there are high levels of inoculation amongst our population . but amongst our population. but people in my inbox, i can see the emails coming in right now raising concerns about newborn babies or other people who've come from other countries, legal , may add, who have moved over , may i add, who have moved over and no theory of vaccine and maybe no theory of vaccine in their lifetime . just the in their lifetime. just the concern generally, really, frankly , i think is perfectly frankly, i think is perfectly justified that there is an additional health risk being introduced into our society. however, minor any is too much. but now we've seen 50 conservative meps wake up and smell the coffee and go. actually rishi is getting a little bit it's a little bit rum. what's on. oh you've just opened a margaret hotel in my backyard to my constituents. it started to catch a bit, larry, about the whole thing. and i'm now worried job. so i'm now worried about job. so i'm going write to and say

going to write to you and say that don't think this is that we don't think this is right. they've been taking the mickey when comes to our laws mickey when it comes to our laws because people have refused because people have been refused asylum grounds. the fact asylum on the grounds. the fact that is a country that albania is a safe country and then they've gone. right, well, been well, okay, we've been trafficked human trafficked here. it's human trafficking. it's modern slavery. davie davies in trafficking. it's modern slayfinally davie davies in trafficking. it's modern slayfinally hit davie davies in trafficking. it's modern slayfinally hit the avie davies in trafficking. it's modern slayfinally hit the nail davies in trafficking. it's modern slayfinally hit the nail on iies in trafficking. it's modern slayfinally hit the nail on the in my finally hit the nail on the head, all right. if you head, which. all right. if you if modern if you approach to modern slavery we'll you a favour then and send back to that country that you allegedly didn't want to leave in the first place didn't that's right. well oh, absolutely. mean, they've been absolutely. i mean, they've been caught petard. caught by their own petard. there they there haven't. they really they can't it both ways. they can't have it both ways. they can't have it both ways. they can't of escape slavery can't say that of escape slavery in albania and to be a slave in the uk working these gangs. so let's send them home. but this is just one of those classic lines that are used by immigration industry that allows them to make claims under the european court human rights requirements for them to stay and be granted in this country. they're not falling under the rules of the convention. so they're trying to find another

sneaky way of getting in. and this is it . and that is why this is it. and that is why suella braverman to be very brave and remove ourselves from the european court. human rights start in the modern slavery act. regulate as to what they were meant to be dealing with true slaves , not faux slaves. and slaves, not faux slaves. and that's one way of dealing with these important cases . getting these important cases. getting migration down, family legal immigrants. but isn't it absolute fascinating? people say that there's absolutely no truth to the fact the lowly lefty law is a raking in off the migrant crisis. well, i'm sorry, but these aren't getting legal advice from themselves. they and they're here for a couple of weeks all a sudden, they weeks and. all of a sudden, they manage know asylum system manage to know the asylum system inside out. and as david davis said, i commend for said, and i commend him for doing way, i doing this, by the way, i commend him for doing this. he also if they own him for also said if they own him for couple of years, often find couple of years, you often find that and have kids here, that they go and have kids here, for and it makes it for example, and it makes it less they going less likely that they are going to deported but have now to be deported but have now found actual silver bullet found an actual silver bullet and one that should have been used earlier. rob which is

pretty are saying pretty even if you are saying that you've dragged here that you've been dragged here against and we are against your will and we are offering the chance offering you the chance to go home don't take that and home and you don't take that and you've been refused asylum . you you've been refused asylum. you have to just admit that you are an illegal immigrant. have to just admit that you are an illegal immigrant . well, i an illegal immigrant. well, i think the rules are that everyone is an illegal immigrant that comes into the country without a proper reason for doing so or a proper visa, the rules when you make an application for asylum only until that point that you've been granted asylum , you become been granted asylum, you become a legal immigrant under particular route. so it's absolute perfectly acceptable for them to be back. yeah. just quietly sorry as . well, one quietly sorry as. well, one thing i did want to ask you, which nearly forgotten, which are nearly forgotten, which are nearly forgotten, which apparently one the which is apparently a one of the signatories letter, 50 signatories to this letter, 50 tory to register not tory mp is right to register not to we've had enough to say, look, we've had enough of this. rishi please, you know, get the deportations on the go with graham of the with sir graham brady of the backbench now if backbench 1922 committee. now if he's getting involved it implies that feels as though the future of the conservative party at the next general rides this next general election rides this because keeps his because he normally keeps his trap if he's

trap with this stuff. if he's got involved . that shows how got involved. that shows how serious backbenchers now serious the backbenchers are now taking, not? it does . taking, does it not? it does. but it also means that he's actually seeing hotels being used cheshire which is one of used in cheshire which is one of the areas next to where he is and now being filled manchester ones are full up now really lovely. four star hotels in cheshire are being offered huge sums the home office sums of money by the home office and going impact his and that's going to impact his particular votes . okay. all particular votes. okay. all right . look, statement, thank right. look, statement, thank you very much, stephen. wolf, thatis you very much, stephen. wolf, that is director at the centre for migration and economic prosperity just reacting to, frankly, a bumper of news when it comes to the china migrant crossings so far today. we had it live on this show today, the forging in 50 people in nine. not so small boats have made the journey today alone. one would imagine that number may well have the that i've been have risen in the that i've been on it was announced on air. it also was announced here the breaking news that 55 zero cases of diphtheria at migrant detention centres are those now people correct those people now people correct in having public health concerns . have these people been dispersed around area and

dispersed around the area and also of that as well the also on top of that as well the news 50 story employees news that 50 story employees have returned . as have now finally returned. as we understand the of understand it, the chairman of backbench conservative 1922 committee, graeme brady sir graeme brady to say we've had enough of this now need to enough of this now you need to a change the law. that would change in the law. that would mean cannot claim mean that people cannot claim modern if they do claim modern slavery if they do claim modern slavery if they do claim modern slavery. we do them a favour get them sent back to favour and get them sent back to where allegedly not want where they allegedly not want to be removed anyway . we're be removed from anyway. we're going a very break going to take a very quick break now, but want to come a little bit more on. matt hancock, the man do you think public man himself. do you think public image rehabilitated? image has been rehabilitated? your and your views come in and gbviews@gbnews.uk. i be gbviews@gbnews.uk. i will be back shortly shortly .

i, for one, am very glad that we are just moments from our last eveh are just moments from our last ever. hopefully conversation about matt hancock being in jungle. but let's say off . okay,

jungle. but let's say off. okay, so former lioness jill scott have been crowned queen of the jungle last night with hollyoaks oh star and water coming second. but it could be argued that tory mp matt hancock was believe it or the real winner of i'm a celebrity get me out of here, because as the star of the series, many myself included, predicted that little nancy hancock be first out. hancock will be the first out. but avoided elimination after , but avoided elimination after, elimination. and then the momentum started to build. you saw him eating a hippo's backside. a camels can't use alliteration now, but you get my drift . and he obviously did drift. and he obviously did something right as the mp managed to come third, which is an absolutely effort he an absolutely effort because he went for him to do went beyond people for him to do horrible challenges . we then got horrible challenges. we then got to stage where people went, to a stage where people went, i want i think he's old enough want to i think he's old enough and he might be being bullied so they keep him in they would just keep him in and. then people voting for then people started voting for him win the flipping him to actually win the flipping thing. really he's come full thing. so really he's come full circle but he's had the tory whip and said he whip removed and said that he will donate part of his will donate part, part of his £400,000 fee to charity and that's his that's going to be his constituency which he obviously

deserves go and deserves in order to go and register but what register in the jungle. but what next? let's talk to next? him now let's talk to christine, senior reporter at guido christine, are guido fawkes. christine, you are an fan . well, particularly an avid fan. well, particularly this year , i'm a celebrity. i'm this year, i'm a celebrity. i'm going to my hands off christine. just full disclosure cards on the i remain unconvinced that matt hancock have been given the opportunity. it's public rehabilitation. however he was. and we are where we are . he is and we are where we are. he is clearly an incredible , clearly an incredible, intelligent man and knew exactly what he doing, went into it, his eyes wide open and, exceeded pubuc eyes wide open and, exceeded public perception . but public perception. but politically is now dead in the water . well i politically is now dead in the water. well i think he was touching the water before went on the show and that's why he did. i mean, he i famously dunng did. i mean, he i famously during a meeting with backbenchers while liz truss was still prime minister had been very publicly for a job and that didn't happen . and that didn't happen. and that obviously had been cost a quarter of rishi sunak campaign to be pm wanted a job and that

didn't happen and i think that was the moment that he decides to try. update health secretary i'm not backing government even when my mate to the prime minister . so when my mate to the prime minister. so now i think it's time to and to go and try this new, this new career . well, i new, this new career. well, i has been said before and i think grant shapps alluded to before politics is showbiz feral people. it's my hancock now just in showbiz showbiz well he said well i think he'd like to if we if we had reports a correct that this morning sun reported that his his missus gina angelo has been approaching pr agents on his behalf . and i wouldn't be his behalf. and i wouldn't be surprised if he certainly left seat at the next election, but maybe even sooner . i seat at the next election, but maybe even sooner. i mean, today we also learnt that obviously he's got a book out which he did mention on show. we understand that sold the serialisation rights of that book to the mail

for quite a hefty sum . so in a for quite a hefty sum. so in a way, you know, you've got to remember that even though he's promised to donate a large part of his 400 grand fee for a penod of his 400 grand fee for a period of and i'm a celebrity in many ways you'll see that as a down payment on trying to levy future sums out of outs of a media career. future sums out of outs of a media career . yeah, i'm sure media career. yeah, i'm sure he's thinking i'm he's thinking about figures like michael portillo of gb news family and of course also ed balls, who managed to put politics them. but does it different ? yeah, but but does it different? yeah, but there is a difference, christine , because there's the question of death, which does not surround porter elo or ed balls, no , what the smell is now , it's no, what the smell is now, it's just to do with matt hancock, right. in terms of the care, home stuff, the ppe stuff people not being to see dying relatives . has he been whatever the equivalent of sports washing is evenin equivalent of sports washing is even in reality tv washed anything and was that right? i think that partly his his

consideration mean there was a poll out this afternoon it was yougov poll that showed about 40% of the public their opinion was negative going into the jungle and still negative . and i jungle and still negative. and i think it's about 17% say their opinion of matt hancock's improved so do you know what for a politician going into the to have actually had to improve meant not a bad performance given the context of matt but that still let's be honest not good enough is it, for a proper media career coming up. so i i'm not that positive for . oh, not that positive for. oh, christie, look, thank you very, very much, christine. karl, get that. senior reporter guido now up next is , dewbs& co michelle up next is, dewbs& co michelle dewberry joins me now. she's back from a wonderful day. you've got about 10 seconds to summarise everything you've got coming up. oh looking coming up. oh was looking forward to tell you all about my houday forward to tell you all about my holiday then, but i can't. everybody seconds. i'll everybody got 10 seconds. i'll tell that afterwards tell you about that afterwards coming my tonight. coming up on my show tonight. patrick what's on in china patrick what's going on in china this zero—covid should uk this zero—covid thing should uk get trying to make

the east emerges midweek onwards and that high pressures the east time we'll start dominate and that means that the early rain in the far west of northern ireland will tend to become weaker on and off and perhaps a few spots of rain affecting the western isles. but otherwise, well, places are going to well, most places are going to be drier from wednesday onwards. there'll some showers coming there'll be some showers coming in the north to affect in from the north to affect eastern but away from eastern areas. but away from there, plenty of bright .
