table. but it sparks debate as to whether or not nhs staff should be more money should be demanding more money when the service that they're offering potentially isn't fit for. no, don't say that lightly, because the tremendous work that nhs staff do. but i just wanted to take you through some of the numbers that you might see numbers that you might not see anywhere let's drill anywhere else. so let's drill down into figures. now, there's a clear trend appearing it's a clear trend appearing and it's not look at but i will not easy to look at but i will take through it. so the take you through it. so the target time for an target response time for an ambulance specifically for the most cases just 80 most serious cases is just 80 minutes. so you get sick or when he ones fall down the he loved ones fall down the stairs you call an ambulance stairs as you call an ambulance that's be there in that's supposed be there in about 80 minutes. for those of you can see you watching on tv, you can see this graph nhs england. this graph from nhs england. now, september 2020, now, back in september 2020, that's the height of the that's during the height of the covid pandemic, really isn't covid pandemic, it really isn't set have just the 18 set you have to wait just the 18 minute target for an ambulance. so middle of a pandemic , so we are middle of a pandemic, supposedly a national health crisis at minute bingo, crisis at minute way. bingo, bob's your fast forward to october this year and the response time at an all time high at than an hour if you live

in more rural areas like cornwall example it's even worse the average waiting time there is more than 2 hours now it's not plain sailing. once the ambulance arrives. you've been waiting at the bottom he stairs with a shattered head, thinking , is this thing going to get, you know, a few hours later the ambulance, rocks up. i'm on my way to hospital. but hang on, because nearly one in three patients arriving hospitals in england ambulance last week waited least 30 minutes to be waited at least 30 minutes to be handed over to a&e teams. more than 11,000 patients. so that's 50% of the total waited over an again, tv viewers see the rising trend is pretty that we've even coloured it in bright red for you in case you are well out of sight. in october, more than hundred and 50,000 people had to wait up to hours for a bed when they at hospital. there is lots to unpack here. and it comes, of course, amid a backdrop of strikes we the strikes strikes. we did the nurses yesterday. doubt nurses yesterday. we no doubt will do them again. will continue to do them again. ambulance workers and this

includes emergency includes paramedics, emergency care assistants and call handlers . so the whole shebang handlers. so the whole shebang are striking. they are going to strike about 10,000 of them because they think the full percent pay rise that reportedly been offered is not enough. they say it's a real terms pay cut and, if you look at this is going to take place before christmas one would imagine if they've got any sense it will coincide possibly with nurses strikes makes very strikes which makes it very difficult for me to what they say about patient care . and it's say about patient care. and it's this line that we've been heanng this line that we've been hearing both the hearing isn't it from both the nurses and from paramedics , from nurses and from paramedics, from people in the medical profession. i'm sick and tired frankly, a of doctors frankly, of a lot of doctors coming show and me, wow, coming on this show and me, wow, come support these come on now. we support these drives patient care drives because patient care won't well, how won't be affected. well, how if you've paramount you've got any paramount emergency assistance call emergency care assistance call handlers some nurses i mean, handlers or some nurses i mean, clearly now we can't just be taken fools patient care is going to be affected. but your view do you think the strikes are justified. are they really angels ceo same day doctor dr. lawrence now . lawrence jealous joins me now. dr. thank you very

dr. lawrence, thank you very much start the much. let's start with the ambulance workers going on strike, 10,000 of them at nine different across england strike, 10,000 of them at nine diffewales across england strike, 10,000 of them at nine diffewales . across england strike, 10,000 of them at nine diffewales . are across england strike, 10,000 of them at nine diffewales . are they; england strike, 10,000 of them at nine diffewales . are they justifiedi strike, 10,000 of them at nine diffewales . are they justified ? i and wales. are they justified? i believe ambulance workers, paramedics, junior nurses need to be paid better. but i would do that by bringing more money into the service, by charging user fees . but we'll come onto user fees. but we'll come onto that another time . but the other that another time. but the other question raise is whether these strikes will affect patient care. and the answer is, of course they will all of them . course they will all of them. even a nurse working in an administration department, it's going to cause delayed operations . delayed. outpatient operations. delayed. outpatient appointments delayed from hospital. all of these things will affect patients . and the will affect patients. and the backup effect is people will die as a result of the. so i'm i'm up as you are with being that these people genuinely care about their patients because they can't do striking the most passive aggressive thing someone do it's literally passive and it's literally aggressive and. i

don't believe health care workers should strike . i would workers should strike. i would never strike. there was a time years ago when doctors were balloted and i refused to say that would strike. and that's not something i was interested in. yeah, but it's interesting that you raise the balance if you just read the vast majority of news outlets can be given the impression anyway that en masse the vast majority of paramount of emergency care assists , of of emergency care assists, of call handlers, of nurses , all call handlers, of nurses, all those to strike. but that's not how they do it, really. is it because they have to have minimum percentage of out? okay, so you've already got 100% of each particular hospital trust . each particular hospital trust. and then a lot of the time, certainly when the nurses, certainly when it to the nurses, they didn't just take a flat of every single nurse that voted. they it by hospital. and so they did it by hospital. and so therefore it's not an accurate picture. realistically we're picture. so realistically we're looking a fraction of looking at a fraction of fraction of nhs who are voted to strike, aren't we? yes. and if in the event these unfortunate strikes, nursing strikes. go

ahead , i think you'll see a lot ahead, i think you'll see a lot of people the strike, because i think a lot of people quietly don't believe they should do this even if they felt they had been forced to coerced vote for a strike. i think we'll find more of strike breaking. and in fact, hope we do have strike breaking because i want patient care to be maintained . we've got care to be maintained. we've got enough problems with , you know, enough problems with, you know, 7 million people on the waiting list. this going to list. and this just going to make worse. can you make things worse. can you explain and, indeed, our explain to me and, indeed, our viewers and listeners why i can present statistics that appear to show that the 18 minute target of ambulances , moment of target of ambulances, moment of call to being on scene be at the height of a pandemic but now reading an article in front of me this has heart attack patients face ambulance waiting of more than an hour , average of more than an hour, average waiting times going through the roof. how can it be? because no longer in the middle of a pandemic ? oh, yeah, things . pandemic? oh, yeah, things. things have got worse. alison, you talk people i know with broken hips. i worry about people who have heart attacks where minutes really do matter or a stroke. if you have a

stroke, you to have thrombolytic agents within 4 hours. and that's not going to happen . you that's not going to happen. you spend the hours waiting spend the first 2 hours waiting for ambulance to come. i for the ambulance to come. i think we've got worse things discharging patients from hospital has got harder . we've hospital has got harder. we've we've backed up problems the pandemic and i old habits die hard since the pandemic you know i've a friend who needs an operation he's unfortunately just tested positive for covid and told oh well you can't come near us for six weeks. well i think , you know, a lot of those think, you know, a lot of those old rules were brought in during the pandemic have now just died . so is this something that we drill down to here , paramedics drill down to here, paramedics and ambulance workers and nurses, etc. being told, if you've got covid, oh, i'm being tested regularly, presumably as well. what's the other side of them? they come in to work because their environment where covid rife, that might mean covid is rife, that might mean that lot of time that that's taking a lot of time off that's going on and, off. that's still going on and, you know, mask is still enforced

in a lot of hospitals , as in a lot of hospitals, as rightly or wrongly , so that the rightly or wrongly, so that the covid has less a legacy of very, very restrictive behaviour. yeah, covid is clearly still nurturing our nhs just in terms of the public optics of this. now it's one thing i absolutely on twitter all the time when i danced it's all about the sacred cow is our nhs or the angels that are the people that work it now? i absolutely my hands up and say completely do amazing work and i do think what it's worth i do think they deserve a pay worth i do think they deserve a pay rise whether it's 19% or whatever. i think that's a conversation. well, it's a different conversation. i disagree with that. but in terms of public support now cannot any longer use the argument the patients and patient health will not be affected, can't it? because if this is a coordinated attempt to have as much impact across our nhs possible, the reality people will die . yes. reality people will die. yes. and will trot out this claim

that actually we're striking because we're worried about safety levels . levels are so low safety levels. levels are so low and that frankly doesn't wash anymore . you're absolutely anymore. you're absolutely right. people will die as a result of strikes people will suffer as a result of strikes and therefore good is it for the greater good? that's the other line. i say. yes, it's unfortunate. and that underlines back to you. the line back to you is this and i'm going to hearit you is this and i'm going to hear it throughout the course this show is going be more people on this. dr. lawrence. which is well, very sorry which is well, we're very sorry about don't blame us. about this. don't blame us. blame government for 12 blame the government for 12 years into the years of running us into the ground it's for the greater ground and it's for the greater good. want to help good. if you really want to help the health service, you help more it's good . and more money. it's now good. and talking about underfunding all the being a child and the time and being a child and wanting your daddy to bail you out i've put forward out. well, i've put forward sensible proposals for bringing into health service with very modest and fair use of fees like they have in the republic of ireland. cheaper than republic of ireland where you pay, they

pay of ireland where you pay, they pa y ,50 to see a gp an d ,100 to pay ,50 to see a gp and ,100 to go to a&e . we can do it for go to a&e. we can do it for a quarter of that. it would bring a lot of money into the health. it would cut demand . it would it would cut demand. it would enable us to pay the doctors, nurses. and if people , these nurses. and if people, these social justice warriors about patients , they wouldn't be patients, they wouldn't be giving them appointments for outpatients in 2024 and gp. it wouldn't be science people in three weeks time. so you know, there's a dissonance there . they there's a dissonance there. they say they care, but they're doing things that show a lack of care. doctors look . dr. lawrence, doctors look. dr. lawrence, thank you very much. nurse lawrence, girl said that is, of course, one view on happens course, one view on it happens to pretty to my own as to be pretty close to my own as anyone watched listens to anyone who watched or listens to this will know. however it this show will know. however it is increasingly is becoming increasingly obvious to utterly to me exactly how utterly divided this country is when it comes so if you comes to this issue. so if you are this right and are watching this right and you completely disagree with with me, i want make a couple of me, i want to make a couple of things clear, i do things clear, which is i do think that they deserve a pay rise. ambulance workers, rise. this is ambulance workers, nhs general. look, nhs workers in general. look, absolutely, . i don't think absolutely, i do. i don't think

they necessarily deserve as much as 90% in line with inflation and i do think there's something morally uncomfortable about going on strike when now becomes undeniable will suffer us undeniable that will suffer us a result. but if you disagree with me and i know that basically probably about 50% of you will then get in search , put your then get in search, put your side of it across, and let's help this. this really is arguably more than any issue i've ever covered on this show, the most divisive anyway, i've been out asking people outside a hospital this afternoon essentially worst about from essentially the worst about from is whether or not they think it's that ambulance it's right that ambulance drivers on strike . it has drivers should on strike. it has helped my son so i'm they help me so i believe that every person deserves a right and ambulance waiting times are pretty much historic high just up pretty much historic high just ”p by pretty much historic high just up by the not really because i don't blame them it's not their fault it's just i'm fortunate the way we live there shouldn't we should go on strike because. people need them because my father got cancer prostate . an

father, he's got cancer prostate. an ambulances . i really called him ambulances. i really called him on. he couldn't go 2 hours trying to get him out of bed. you know, how long did it take the ambulance. oh, you didn't actually call him half an inch away from calling them. do you think if they were strike and think if they were on strike and it a long time them it took a long time for them come. how you think you'd come. how do you think you'd feel . oh, terrible, feel about. oh, terrible, terrible annoyed terrible toll. i know. annoyed do you think they should be paid a bit more though, from what? absolutely absolutely. without a shadow of it just shadow of a doubt, it just shouldn't on strike? no i think maybe because because the royal mail is on strike, the nurses go on strike. i don't blame the nurses. i blame the nurses. i don't blame the ambulance men morally . no, they ambulance men morally. no, they shouldn't be because they're trying to save lives and etc. but, you know, when it comes to down in livelihood, what do you down in livelihood, what do you do ? and there it is in a do? and there it is in a nutshell , i suggest. but do? and there it is in a nutshell, i suggest. but this is why it's such divisive issue, which is i think most people most people say that, yes. okay.

some form of pay rise for the vast majority of nhs workers is reasonable. from what i could do my research just before i came air today, from what can gather you kind of ambulance workers as a whole as a bracket, the salaries on average range from between 25 an d £35,000, most of between 25 and £35,000, most of that data was collected from london. so imagine your average would be a bit less in the rest of england and wales. presumably people able tell now people would able to tell me now if work in the nhs or you if you work in the nhs or you work at ambulance, let me work at the ambulance, let me know. it is actually quite difficult some of difficult to get hold some of the accurate figures here because there's such different scale it comes places scale when it comes to places around user. but around the country. gb user. but i most people might say, i think most people might say, all bit of a pay all right, okay, a bit of a pay rise, fine, but strike rise, fine, but then strike action is that's a step too far and. when coordinated and. then when it's coordinated with our health with other elements, our health service well in a way one service as well in a way one could only imagine, will be designed to cause maximum effect. impact , effect. maximum impact, negativity issues, and then negativity and issues, and then people who suffer that are potentially most vulnerable potentially the most vulnerable in at of the busiest in society at one of the busiest times the year when already times in the year when already the arguably isn't

the service arguably isn't particularly good. look a&e particularly good. look at a&e waiting ambulance waiting waiting like ambulance waiting times all start look times does all start to look a bit rough. your views on this. like i've said than any like i've said more than any issue i've ever covered at issue that i've ever covered at this channel, is the most this channel, this is the most divisive gb views that gbnews.uk let me know your thoughts. you are with me patrick christys on gb i'm coming up. well gb news. i'm coming up. well it's for first time it's good news. for first time buyers. good news for the buyers. some good news for the first time in two years. uk house prices look like they're starting fall. we have starting to fall. we will have the latest. we're also the very latest. we're also going bring you that going to bring you that long awaited at store. awaited look at what's store. i'm to go get. i'm going i'm going to go get. i'm going to harry, harry. to go get one. harry, harry. meghan's documentary was released netflix . great released on netflix. great books. don't go anywhere . we're books. don't go anywhere. we're back a moment.

okay. i'm hoping a little of good news potentially for many months , potential house buyers months, potential house buyers have been daunted by rising

pnces have been daunted by rising prices and high interest. but for the first time in more than two years, uk house prices look like they're starting to fall. but it ? that's but is all is it? that's according new figures according to new figures released nationwide this released by nationwide this morning, showing a 1.4% fall in november will hey a peak through all of this is gb news economics and business editor is liam halligan with on money . you yes. halligan with on money. you yes. okay there we go liam . take us okay there we go liam. take us through it. it's complicated. so i've got some graphics , you and i've got some graphics, you and gb news listeners on the radio have to bear with me. so you're right. in november we can look at the first graphic in november , house prices did fall 1.4, compared the month before. so compared the month before. so compared to october , the month compared to october, the month on month fall in house prices 1.4. and that is the biggest in a month since lockdown june 20, 20. but november. 2022 compared to november 20, 21 in annual

terms , house prices were still terms, house prices were still up. they were up 4.4. now that's a relatively annual increase, but it is still an increase . but it is still an increase. now, the average mortgage rate that people pay that was 3.7% in january 2022. and now it's 5.4% on average. so house prices are a lot more . prices are going a lot more. prices are going down a little bit because it's a lot more expensive finance that mortgage so people can't afford bid quite as much money because they haven't got the money every month pay the interest on the month to pay the interest on the mortgage or it and then on top of that got first time buyers that's the next now first time buyers back over summer before that mini budget which sent the debt markets first time buyers they were spending average 30% of their income on mortgage and now more like 45% of their income. so first time buyers in particular, patrick, they have got less ability to buy

property. that's house prices are coming down a little bit and that's why there are fewer transactions in any chain . it's transactions in any chain. it's the first time buyer buying something that then allows somebody to sell to somebody else to somebody else to somebody else that drives the housing market in country. first time buyers in particular. young people are cash strapped. well, yes . so this is it. so yes. so this is it. so basically, if you are now someone is looking to get on the property market, you might be buoyed by saying, oh, this this property has on the market property has been on the market for a while. it's now less than it was before. actually, you're going a bit. going to get clobbered a bit. terms of your monthly repayments, but also a lot of people who renting people who are renting which i don't know the percentages don't know what the percentages are, of people, are, but loads of people, a fifth of households that's fifth of households rent. that's why good stuff. and so a why you hit good stuff. and so a fifth households rent fifth of households rent especially london especially around the london area that's massive people be concerned, you know how many economic times is that landlord going up? actually, going to sell up? actually, maybe not the time maybe now is not the time to sell right there's in that sell that right there's in that but think you've to but i think what you've got to remember we're of jumping remember we're sort of jumping on is a house price

on this because is a house price fall month it's fall month on month it's important stress though i did important stress though as i did a at the and a lot of a at the top and a lot of newspapers lot broadcasters newspapers a lot of broadcasters get wrong in annual terms get this wrong in annual terms november 21 to 2022, house november 20, 21 to 2022, house pnces november 20, 21 to 2022, house prices going up, so prices are still going up, so it's patrick as if the 25 to it's not patrick as if the 25 to 34 year demographic we talk about all the time here on gb news, it's not as if suddenly it's much much cheaper to buy a house. it isn't because their mortgage payments may have to go up mortgage payments may have to go up even though the house is slightly cheaper because the interest are and, interest rates are higher. and, you a of people, lot you know, a lot of people, lot of older people say, oh, the today, they didn't go swipe today, if they didn't go swipe and they didn't eat so many avocados , sandwiches, they'd avocados, sandwiches, they'd be able house . well, able to buy a house. well, that's actually true . back that's not actually true. back in late eighties, the in the late eighties, the nineties, when interest rates were 15, a lot of older people say , we weathered that, we say, we weathered that, we bought our house we saved. yeah, but back houses a lot but back then, houses a lot cheaper as a share your income. so 15% interest rate back in the late eighties early people were spending 25, 30% of their

monthly salary on their mortgage payment. now with interest rates much much lower first time buyers. i showed you still spending 30, even 40% of their monthly salary on their mortgage payment, even though interest rates are lower. why? because the houses they're buying are so more expensive? yeah, i mean , more expensive? yeah, i mean, i've got loads of questions about this, certainly about what of mortgage type thing. you should go but i just want should go for. but i just want to of a macro to ask a bit of a macro question, which is it's always been told to me anyway just getting permission just getting permission to just get along. what, along. obviously matter what, just it is not still just just get on it is not still the case because i'm looking at spending 48% or whatever it was of my income. yeah, yeah. every single plus you work single month plus you work on something energy bills something like your energy bills and prices . i do want and your food prices. i do want and your food prices. i do want a life as well. is now a bit of a life as well. is now worthwhile. me with especially with property prices the actual value of them coming down is it was well just getting on the property. well i'm not qualified. financial advice qualified. give financial advice on got really on telly. we got to really careful ofcom careful that there are ofcom rules. but i would say in rules. but what i would say in general terms, i would say in general terms, i would say in

general terms. i've written this many right newspaper many times right and newspaper columns there columns often is. i think there still a fundamental shortage of homes . the i think that fund homes. the uk. i think that fund the mentally that will keep the property rising in the long term there be ups and downs. we've seen it all this month. it may be followed by a downturn next month as . well, but the property month as. well, but the property increases tends to often unsteady and property price falls tends be very infrequent and quite small. so you know, we could see a fall in house prices but for my there's still so many people chasing too few homes both to rent and to buy that even if cash buyers are coming in rather than young people at work trying to get their first property with a mortgage i do think property prices are likely to keep rising across most of the country . i say that with the country. i say that with regret because there's a fundamental general social injustice going on, patrick, that over 60 many people buy

have a house without a mortgage. yes worked for it. and all of want to take it away from them. no but younger people, your generation, my kids generation, they want the chance to share in they want the chance to share in the wealth of the country as property prices go up. and it's so hard now for people to get on the ladder unless they've got wealthy property owning parents who can give them their deposit otherwise. it's so difficult to that money together. thank you very much for sort trying to drag ofcom prison that drag you into ofcom prison that our economics business at is you are with me patrick christys right on at gb news. now ministers are considering plans to increase asylum seekers to increase time. asylum seekers can in that controversial can be in that controversial raaf processing centre to days, but of a lot of people will be going well, hang on a minute, maybe we do to keep them there to make sure we know who they are a little bit before we send them on their way. a hotel near you. we'll have the latest that but first your headlines. patrick, thank . it's 3:33 am. patrick, thank. it's 3:33 am. tamsin roberts in the gb

ambulance workers strikes nhs workers strikes house prices. well. now it's time for another top topic as far as our viewers and listeners are concerned, what's going with what's been going on with our asylum seekers? seekers asylum seekers? asylum seekers could held at the ftx processing centre in kent for up to four days.i centre in kent for up to four days. i know this might all seem a bit squishy because there was a bit squishy because there was a lot of about how long they were held for before. were being held for before. we'll pick that here. we'll pick all that apart here. that's part of a new law that's just part of a new law that ministers to considering implementing present, implementing at present, migrants leave migrants are meant to leave within hours arriving, within 24 hours after arriving, which we can all agree which i think we can all agree is a pretty turnaround is a pretty fast turnaround you're off on the channel you're off about on the channel you're to a processing centre you're in to a processing centre and way to a and you're out your way to a hotel. within someone hotel. within 24 hours, someone it a pretty good service, it as a pretty good service, but it's reported the it's been reported that the potential change would give officials the ability to more officials the ability to be more flexible arrivals flexible in processing arrivals to site. so opposed to that to the site. so opposed to that 24 hour target may be four days, but it is pretty much as simple as or is because ? as that. or is it because? joining is former chief joining me now is former chief immigration calais, immigration officer for calais, kevin kevin great to kevin saunders. kevin great to have you back the show. have you back on the show. expert when comes to this expert when it comes to this stuff. it mean to

stuff. what does it mean to process these people? so if i walk straight off a boat, walk into a migrant processing centre being taken there by whoever. what kind of are they asking me? can only be processed along with, let's say, 800 others in the space of 24 hours for them to be secure in the knowledge that i'm not a massive threat. now, basically come you've got to be a very basic interview name , date of birth, even though name, date of birth, even though they're not going to tell you their real name or, their real title. you've got fingerprint them. you've got a photograph them. you've got a photograph them . you've got to try and them. you've got to try and ascertain their medical condition . and that's important. condition. and that's important. now, because we've got this theory so if you're going to have upwards of a thousand people arriving to do that in 24 hours, it's almost impossible. and realistically, what it means and correct me if i'm wrong

here, i am asking your expert insight into this is when it says that process and then moved on in 24 hours got me within 24 hours of arriving accessing first on british soil they are processed quite in your view having given false name and age and goodness knows what else. maybe a very, very basic, shoddy health check and then send out of a processing centre and into a hotel in communities around the country . yeah, that's about the country. yeah, that's about right. right. i take a concern is it not comfortable though. and it's a huge concern . but and it's a huge concern. but where where where really the problem we've got too many people arrive too quickly . and people arrive too quickly. and the overwhelming the resources that we've got to deal with it. and it's not a simple patrick. so processing someone as opposed to in 24 hours but now legally being allowed take four days i appreciate that was that was taking place at mount austin for

the obvious reasons frankly and that meant that those people were taking there but now legally to allowed be given legally to be allowed be given four days is not time. no it's not it's not enough time. we need we need a much longer penod. need we need a much longer period . but four days is better period. but four days is better left. 24 hours. why do you need. do you need. why do you need longer than four days? what is it that would have to be done in a longer period of time? an in—depth interview. basically, you bigger interview. you you need a bigger interview. you need to be talking these people finding out where they've come from, why they've come and everything else before. you're moving them the most because if they're economic refugees which , of course a lot of them are then you should be able to get rid of them quickly . if it's rid of them quickly. if it's what we had from the government is going to happen. what we had from the government is going to happen . well, the is going to happen. well, the other element to this is under our current system , presumably, our current system, presumably, as you're saying in your expert view, that the interviews are a bit wishy , not necessarily

bit wishy, not necessarily particularly great checks or any kind of rigour when it comes to this stuff. presumably what we are doing now is will actually allowing economic migrants stay and be too moved on to hotels from once they get to hotel, then can they? there's still the still being processed. once that that they then are all accepted . no that's still there's still going to be some process when they're in the hotels . but the they're in the hotels. but the longer you get longer that they're in the uk , once they are they're in the uk, once they are in the hotels that they're getting their stories together, that they're speaking to the to their colleagues, that they bnng their colleagues, that they bring up the lies that they're going to tell us and sorry to say that, but that's exactly what's happening. and it's it more and more and more for border force . okay, look , thank border force. okay, look, thank you very much. it's a rather bleak just very quickly, very . bleak just very quickly, very. doesit bleak just very quickly, very. does it wind you up a little bit when the human rights lawyers involved and say that it's against human rights to keep

them longer than 24 them there any longer than 24 hours? yeah, i'm afraid does because they don't know what they're talking about of these people. trouble is, patrick, people. the trouble is, patrick, i know you're busy . so many i know you're busy. so many people hand who know nothing about immigration or what's going on. all pretending to tell. tell us everything . it's tell. tell us everything. it's just absolute nonsense . but if just absolute nonsense. but if i can just on to you for a second. obviously into your previous interview, how we going to how we going how's. interview, how we going to how we going how's . 44,000 people in we going how's. 44,000 people in house is assuming that they're allowed to stay. yeah i mean we're no hallway one or someone something's going to have to burst at some point and. yeah. yeah i agree with you kevin. look, thank you very much. it will not be the last time that i talk to you. certainly not kevin saunders, the former chief immigration calais. immigration officer at calais. if you're just joining us, quick ways of yes, it is ways through of that. yes, it is now applied for the now being applied for the this manston centre,

manston processing centre, the kind processing, if kind of famous processing, if you that, really. you can call it that, really. they're to get it to be they're trying to get it to be allowed where. they can house these illegal or asylum seekers, migrants, whatever migrants, essential, whatever you in there you want to call them in there for as opposed a for four days, as opposed just a 24 limit. they've got to 24 hour limit. they've got to the . and from that point the minute. and from that point on, was that to move them out some. pushback from the immigration lawyers, you would expect, been expect, right? i've been threatening my inbox threatening to go into my inbox for while what going for a while now. what i'm going to because we've covered to do it because we've covered a lot of topics for you today lot of top topics for you today and.the lot of top topics for you today and. the views have been flooding in thick and fast. what we right at the top of we let in right at the top of the was the ambulance the show was the ambulance strikes thoughts by strikes and thoughts on them. by far the controversial, most far the most controversial, most divisive i've covered divisive issue that i've covered yet. mind, been yet. bear in mind, we've been talking about asylum seekers. this has split more you than any topic ever covered when it topic i've ever covered when it comes nhs. strikes sandra comes to the nhs. strikes sandra says can spend says if the government can spend £7 day hotels for £7 million per day on hotels for immigrants, be here, immigrants, that not be here, then pay our ambulance then they can pay our ambulance workers now and this really interesting point, sandra i absolutely take you on board again on emphasise it do again on to emphasise it do think deserve some form of think they deserve some form of pay think they deserve some form of pay rise however they were alleged they anyway offered a 4%

pay top alleged they anyway offered a 4% pay top a salary on pay rise on top of a salary on average, as i understand, between around 25 £35000, between around 25 to £35000, depending on what scale you're on, is that enough for you, sandra? do you think they should be striking? i'm not sure. ray says ambulance waiting times says the ambulance waiting times are they take are bad because when they take patients hospital , they have patients to hospital, they have to with for hours to wait with them for hours because enough nurses. because there is enough nurses. we nurses, ambulances because there is enough nurses. we care nurses, ambulances because there is enough nurses. we care workers|rses, ambulances because there is enough nurses. we care workers on.;, ambulances because there is enough nurses. we care workers on. good)ulances because there is enough nurses. we care workers on. good pay, ces and care workers on. good pay, support the strikes . okay, support the strikes. okay, interesting stuff because again the flip side to all of that isn't it is right, if they're saying that go on strike. the line used to be the line used to be, oh well, no one will really be, oh well, no one will really be impacts on this. we will make sure that we have the cover for it. but the landscape has changed hasn't it? changed somewhat now, hasn't it? because all on because if they're all going on strike and it's strike at once and it's a coordinated effort, unequivocally, people are going to suffer. some would say that's the for them make the only way for them to make their people say their heard. some people say it's you did it's unconscionable. you did sign this, although, of sign up to this, although, of course signed up to course no one signed up to inflation, they? and inflation, did they? and is it isn't it? is why it's such isn't it? this is why it's such a divisive . there are jobs a divisive. there are some jobs where strike is just

where going on strike is just natural form of industrial action is not quite the case in the medical profession, is it? your views more than welcome your views are more than welcome when comes this. i dare when it comes to this. i dare say, though, that you are an say, though, that if you are an elderly, with a broken elderly, relative with a broken hip, fallen down the stairs, hip, had fallen down the stairs, then you might be as non urgent by because the most by the way, because the most urgent course, stabbings, urgent of course, stabbings, shootings, something shootings, you know, something on strokes . so on heart attacks, strokes. so actually you could end up in a situation unfortunately we're already seeing of some people waiting 40 hours for an ambulance, which if was your loved one, perhaps you'd be on the strikes might change. i don't know, dave says yet again, the army are drawing up plans to assist the public drawing upcoming soldiers upcoming strikes. soldiers are on less money on a lot less money than firefighters nurses, ambulance drivers, paramedics train drivers, paramedics and train drivers. good the drivers. it's a good job. the police army can't police and the army can't strike. think it would that strike. i think it would be that it should be made illegal for all services. strike all emergency services. strike is before is a question i've posed before on particular channel. on this particular channel. archie, thank you very much for raising dave, about raising this, dave, about whether should be whether or not, it should be legal people in the public legal for people in the public sector again sector to strike again quite swiftly because swiftly on this purely because think everyone have the

think everyone does have the right to strike. it's just question for whether or question for me of whether or not in order not it's moral rights in order to do so. people raised an issue there about the care home workers have work my workers have work is my understanding, less understanding, pay a lot less and senses do a much and in some senses do a much more. i say dirty job at more. i would say dirty job at times, the right of times, at the right turn of phrase, dirty job, i suppose you could say undid. also work the way pandemic as far way through the pandemic as far as then strike. as i'm aware. then i'll strike. thought love that. it gives thought i'd love that. it gives our news some crack our gb news dot uk some crack that them. coming up ladies that keep them. coming up ladies and gentlemen return to all and gentlemen to return to all of top topics throughout of these top topics throughout the we've running the show we've had you running chest had your chest strikes you've had your property had the property prices, we've had the lights on the asylum system. but now moment all been now is the moment all been waiting i do this with waiting for. i do say this with a hint of sarcasm. it's big reveal meghan's new reveal of harry and meghan's new netflix documentary . no one sees netflix documentary. no one sees what's happening behind closed doors . yeah, right. okay i'll doors. yeah, right. okay i'll break it down. i'll break it down and i'll ask do we really care ? you see, the thing is, care? you see, the thing is, i do care because i'm talking about national television, but i hate myself for it. and we sent

a good mood down here in st ives. well they interviewed they interviewed 21,000 people scattered right across country and they asked them about they live and they asked them all sorts of questions about their quality of life and then they judge those on sorts of things like how close to green they were, how much of a community there is where they live and also whether they really felt they could be themselves where they could be themselves where they lived and st ives was voted they lived and st ives was voted the best. it was voted the best in 2020. then hexham in northumberland picked them to the post for the last two years. but people in st ives are even happier than normal because the crown has come back to some time. so let's have a little listen to what the having people of some types have been saying to me smilingly earlier. i find the cornish exceptionally and the cornish exceptionally and the ambience down you've only got to look around at moment in the middle of winter and it's beautiful. yeah different felt it the feeling that it's got to

be in spite of other today in a get out it's just unique and it's just really really nice uh we can't change it which is a good thing so yeah it's really nice for happy yeah i think . oh nice for happy yeah i think. oh andifs nice for happy yeah i think. oh and it's good to see a seaside town. there's only a number because somebody you spend a lot of time in morecambe and in blackpool over the years it's fair that not every fair to say that not every single seaside town, no disrespect those areas not disrespect to those areas is not on up. jeff, i see you've on up. and jeff, i see you've got your face being got a smile on your face being there, but i've never been to st ives. apparently it is beautiful . it is beautiful. i mean, there's not only whole there's not only the whole surfing community , but you've surfing community, but you've got loads of wine bars which i'm sure we all like . and there's sure we all like. and there's also galleries, art galleries around and really nice shops. there's a beautiful old high street and of course the harbour here , there was a lady sitting here, there was a lady sitting just next me earlier on just painting the view of the harbour. and she was incredibly happy to hear that this has been voted the happiest place. she's

only moved here a week ago and she said this is already making her very happy indeed. so, yes, it's a good place to live here in st ives. fantastic geoff. there you mean, some of there you are. i mean, some of the that i've sent you on the jobs that i've sent you on to report for have not quite to go report for have not quite beenis to go report for have not quite been is as good . the st ives one been is as good. the st ives one we want to talk about the one that never made it to our geoff moody. thank you very much who is live st ives. yeah our southwest report apparently. st ives the happiest place live in britain in 2022. where does yours when it comes to all of this? i want know gbviews@gbnews.uk got st ives in the southwest galashiels in scotland. i got pretty mispronounced that but there we go woodbridge east of england north—east perth , scotland. north—east perth, scotland. harrogate usually highly harrogate. yes anglesey in wales, otherwise known as cheshire on the sea. stirling in scotland simon chester. anywhere. where's yours? in all of the gb news our gb news duke. i've got loads coming your way. i've got loads coming your way. i thought in the eye with a little bit of levity because

often it's all misery, isn't it? in news at the moment we do have lots more to in the next lots more to come in the next houn lots more to come in the next hour. huge ambulance delays back to ambulance to the misery. huge ambulance delays. taylor delays. a cringeworthy taylor trailer to say of trailer easy for me to say of harry and meghan's new and this is important as well of course could migrants at the ftx detention centre it detention centre be in it a slightly longer haul ? but slightly longer haul? but honestly, it's not the best thing for public safety. gb is gbnews.uk two big ones today. how do you feel now about the ambulance drivers knowing they may coordinated with may well be coordinated with nurses strikes safety nurses strikes patient safety potentially that and potentially at risk that and also you think is right thing also do you think is right thing that asylum seekers should be detained for a bit longer so we get to know a bit more about them before we send them off to a hotel near you. now to other how again, it's aidan mcgivern here from office with here from the met office with the weather forecast the latest weather forecast and it the latest weather forecast and h been the latest weather forecast and it been start for it has been a gloomy start for many us today with low cloud many of us today with low cloud best of folk that thicken overnight. if anything. but for some a day with some it's been a mild a day with outbreaks rain scotland the, far north of england, has seen the rain and drizzly rain will tend to ease overnight but it will

remain in places further south and some clear spells the fog will thicken through the evening and by the start of friday we're going to see extensive cloud mist, dense fog, anywhere from the fate of york into the midlands east, wales as well as southern counties of england staying and frost free across east anglia , the southeast, east anglia, the southeast, where there will be some showers overnight. but a touch of frost is likely for west wales and cornwall minus one, minus celsius under clear skies and here, a sunny start to the day for scotland, a mild start to the day. but here we've got a lot of cloud and some of that drizzly still affecting the drizzly rain still affecting the north east, northern north and the east, northern ireland begin things. ireland skies to begin things. and a fine day for much. and it's a fine day for much. northern ireland with sunny spells as the fog in the south eventually lift an easterly helps to clear it by the afternoon , but it will stay cold afternoon, but it will stay cold temperatures in the mid to high single figures for the vast majority . now that easterly majority. now that easterly breeze will increasingly bring showers into the east and

southeast of england as we go into friday. those showers frequent near the north sea coast. but elsewhere it's going to stay largely dry. any in the far north of scotland tend to fizzle end of the night . fizzle by the end of the night. and we start off the weekend, and as we start off the weekend, most frost , we're most are cold, but frost, we're looking at 2 to 5 celsius generally. well that's such a frost is likely across . southern frost is likely across. southern scotland, north—west england of wales and the southwest saturday starts off where we've got those lower temperatures , plenty of lower temperatures, plenty of sunshine. but elsewhere a lot of cloud cover. further showers coming in on the easterly wind . coming in on the easterly wind. and that easterly is going to make it feel cold through saturday. sunday and into the start of next week .

and .

and. you are watching and, listening to me. patrick christys on gb news up. ambulance workers are going on strike now. but will anyone ? because the chances are anyone? because the chances are if waiting for an ambulance you're already a very, very long we'll get you all of the stats on that speaking of feeling sick. oh the trailer for the new harry and meghan documentary is just dropped on. this controversy over how long migrants will processing migrants will spend a processing centre before being sent off to firstly ambulance are the latest to announce strikes , part of a to announce strikes, part of a coordinated attempt to have as much impact on the nhs as possible, but how long patients are already waiting for an ambulance will shock . new ambulance will shock. new figures show there cases of some people waiting more than day, sometimes nearly two whole days for. a response. now they might be extreme examples, but is this really acceptable? are ambulance staff right to claim that they need a pay rise on the service like us taxpayers are being offered simply isn't up to scratch? or aren't they? are

they overworked and underpaid? do think as that argument do think as well that argument really doesn't one, no really doesn't off no one, no patient will suffer if they go on strike the same time as the nurses at the st thomas hospital at time as everybody at the same time as everybody else. out the window else. well that's out the window now if you haven't now is it right. if you haven't got a strong stomach though one look here's a little look away. now here's a little taster, if that's the right word for it, harry and meghan's for it, of harry and meghan's new netflix document trick. no for it, of harry and meghan's new seeslix document trick. no for it, of harry and meghan's new sees what'stent trick. no for it, of harry and meghan's new sees what's happening. no for it, of harry and meghan's new sees what's happening behind one sees what's happening behind closed . jacqui, will you closed doors. jacqui, will you watching when the meg mentary . watching when the meg mentary. it's not that, is it. are we there yet. mentary anyway hits our screens christmas i'm frankly do we really care . the frankly do we really care. the answer of course is yes because i'm talking about oh, it looks like the length of time migrants held at the ftx asylum processing centre changing. but one day, days, three days, one day, two days, three days, four will it make any ? we four days. will it make any? we spoke earlier on. spoke to someone earlier on. he says it's safe to have says it's just not safe to have this amount of people coming and not processed in that not properly processed in that amount time they are amount of time before they are frankly into the wider

once you've got the answer , you once you've got the answer, you move on, right? and because whole thing is about domestic abuse , there were other abuse, there were other questions but when the first thing she did as well is to take my hair and move it out of the way. that's the first thing. no. hello? no nothing. you just actually , you know, and i've actually, you know, and i've never done that. i really think that we need to respect people's personal space. meanwhile, the trailer for harry and meghan, the duke and duchess of sussex's docuseries has been released promoted by streaming service as a global event. promoted by streaming service as a global event . the series a global event. the series features personal photos that have never been published before. it's expected air next week. no one sees what's happening behind doors . as to happening behind doors. as to everything i could to protect my family . ambulance wait times are family. ambulance wait times are higher now than they were at any

point last winter. new data shows nearly a third of patients in england had to wait more than half an hour to be handed over to a&e. last week , an average of to a&e. last week, an average of 13,000 patients were also stuck in hospital beds each day , in hospital beds each day, despite being ready to be discharged . the figures come as discharged. the figures come as more than 40 so—called winter war rooms have been established to help beds for patients faster. gb 44,000 migrants have crossed the channel so far this year. that's around 200 people were intercepted morning. the overall figure is significantly higher than last total when 29,000 people went intercepted . a surge people went intercepted. a surge in the number of people trying to cross this week coincides with better weather conditions . with better weather conditions. for former prime minister boris johnson plans to run as an mp in the next general election. that's according a source close to him. meanwhile, ian blackford is stepping from his role as snp at westminster, announcing the

an ambulance . the nhs faces an ambulance. the nhs faces delays higher than at any point last winter . the winter of last winter. the winter of discontent appears to be in full force as this week it's announced that ambulance workers in three unions have voted to strike pay on concerns about staffing levels. it comes after something we spoke about a lot yesterday. the royal college of nursing is also staging two days of strike action this month. clearly coordinated clearly a coordinated effort. speaking earlier , gb news, speaking earlier, gb news, shadow house of shadow leader of the house of commons of devon blame the commons tung of devon blame the government classic for the current situation with striking workers. let's have a look at it. listen this means that why we this situation why we in this situation because of tory economic mismanagement of course it's that we get proper rises for working people. i every sympathy with anybody who is struggling to make ends meet at the moment and that's on the tories for failing negotiate with with unions over the some of the health just failed to meet with the trade. yeah i'm afraid because contrary david amess claim full fact has found

that there were local strikes in the nhs under the last labour government but should workers with so much responsibility over people's health and lives be striking? striking is it morally reprehensible hit you reprehensible to want to hit you with of facts and with a couple of facts and figures here now ambulance workers are striking in workers are to be striking in the up to christmas. no the run up to christmas. no doubt that will probably coincide on coincide with nurses strikes on the the 20th of december the 15th of the 20th of december as well. are nine as well. there are nine different trusts. it will 10,000 annual workers which is annual less workers which is paramedics care call paramedics emergency care call handlers . they were apparently handlers. they were apparently anyway offered 4% pay rise. the average salary as far as i have been able find anyway is between 25000 to 35000 for the collective those workers. now that varies depending on where you are in the country and exactly what the nature of your job is, which is why it's such a wide bracket. okay and yes, they are saying that patients will still come first, but it is hard. i think , than it was this hard. i think, than it was this time yesterday , harder than it time yesterday, harder than it was this time last week to believe that feel to think believe that i feel to think that actually this be

that actually this can be justified on grounds that justified on the grounds that actually what be actually patients what be affected tot it all up with affected when tot it all up with all the of the different strikes that are taking place your views this apparently were off about 4% pay and turn it down 4% and pay rise and turn it down let's drill down into these ambulance waiting times more now and is quite and this really is quite stark stuff there's clear stuff because there's clear trend appearing and not trend appearing and it's not easy viewing the target response time for an ambulance specifically the most specifically for the most serious cases is, believe it or not, just 18 minutes, which is great, 80 minutes. you imagine that, you know, you fall down stairs terrible stairs or something terrible happens. stairs or something terrible happens . you call them up. 80 happens. you call them up. 80 minutes later, boom, paramedics, your for of your front door. for those of your front door. for those of you can see you watching tv, you can see that of nhs. this is just that graph of nhs. this is just in england . that graph of nhs. this is just in england. back in that graph of nhs. this is just in england . back in september in england. back in september 2020, the height of the 2020, during the height of the covid pandemic were pretty much in target, weren't they in that target, weren't they so middle a pandemic middle of a health pandemic hitting that well, let's hitting that target. well, let's fast forward to october this yeah fast forward to october this year. so a weeks ago and the year. so a few weeks ago and the response time, it's not an all time high as over an hour if you live in more rural areas , well, live in more rural areas, well, you might as well drive yourself that like cornwall,

that frankly, like cornwall, that's worse the average that's even worse the average waiting there more waiting time there is more 2 hours now it's not plain sailing once you actually in the back of an ambulance either you think, oh good grief, here we go. i'm sorted now can get on the gas sorted now i can get on the gas it me up or whatever it that can me up or whatever and i'm at the hospital. well alas, because nearly one in three patients arriving at hospitals in england by ambulance week waited , at ambulance last week waited, at least 30 minutes to be handed over to a&e teams more than thousand patients, which 15% of the grand total waited over an houn the grand total waited over an hour. so if you're in the back of an and you take it to a hospital there is a by the looks of it, a 50% chance that you just going to be in the ambulance for more than an hour again tv viewers can see that rising trend is clear. we have even colder red for you in october. more 150,000 people had to wait up to 12 hours for a bed when they arrived at hospital and. that's not an annual figure . i want to make that very clear. just in the month of, october 150,000 you waited october, 150,000 of you waited up to 12 hours for a bed. it's

also joining me now is journalist and broadcaster angela epstein . angela, thank angela epstein. angela, thank you very, very much. now there's , here as i hope , loads to unpack here as i hope just done a relatively decent job argument. now which job of the argument. now which was getting rammed down throat whenever i dared to say anything onune whenever i dared to say anything online or on tv was that patients suffer. we will make sure that we cover it. patients safety not be compromised. they can no longer be true because . can no longer be true because. paramedics, emergency care assistants and ambulance call handlers will, as we understand it, be strike probably at the same time as nurses and patients will now . well, obviously, this will now. well, obviously, this is a coordinated tactic to maximise disruption and if that is the case and that is the agenda, then how can that not affect patients ? if you withdraw affect patients? if you withdraw the labour you offer to ferry needy people to hospital, then are going to suffer. and even if person suffers or , 100 people person suffers or, 100 people suffer, it's very, very risky

strategy. and as as that kind of line of work , which is very much line of work, which is very much in the line of public, do no harm . i know they don't take the harm. i know they don't take the hippocratic oath the way doctors do it is absolutely astonishing that they can kind of look themselves in the mirror and say, we're going to go and hadnt say, we're going to go and hadn't do this. i absolutely endorse the right to protest. it should enshrined in law . but should enshrined in law. but striking is not the way forward with this. well, it's if you really drill down into the reality of how a lot of these ballots are conducted as well, because the way is portrayed in the media and everyone's guilty of at it like of doing this at times, it like pretty every single pretty much every single ambulance the or every ambulance in the uk or every single uk was blessed single nurse, the uk was blessed , they all returned that ballot and the vast majority of them have decided to strike. and that is true . in fact, in is simply not true. in fact, in some trusts weren't enough. people who took to . turnout people who took part to. turnout was they couldn't hold a was so low they couldn't hold a strike. so there is that that gets a lot and. basically gets missed a lot and. basically what we're dealing with is a fraction, a fraction of the

people were nurses or ambulance workers deciding go on strike workers deciding to go on strike just am. these just from a pan am. these workers strike and that's not workers on strike and that's not resulted in this particular issue . do you think that those issue. do you think that those people who do decide to actually should they be financially drained for it, should they have their wages completely doctored face some kind of wider punishment ? face some kind of wider punishment? well, i think you if you don't do the which you are paid to do and it's not because you are ill or because of unforeseen circumstances, you know , lots of people would love know, lots of people would love to randomly take the day off to do other stuff then. yeah, maybe they should absolutely pay . but they should absolutely pay. but i don't think this is down to the brass tacks of looking at sort of finding them for a few quid. i think the government needs to be much robust about some of strike busting legislation which stops the country held to ransom. i know it's cliche, but there are vulnerable who have. there's no alternative . you said before, alternative. you said before, patrick, what you do , you get in patrick, what you do, you get in your car when you're having a

heart attack. well, this is it. and the reality, when you look at some of the figures that are now the of people who are waiting more than an hour, an ambulance, the amount of people waiting more than an hour, an amb are ice, the amount of people waiting more than an hour, an amb are waiting amount of people waiting more than an hour, an amb are waiting hours1t of people waiting more than an hour, an amb are waiting hours and people waiting more than an hour, an amb are waiting hours and hourse who are waiting hours and hours for an ambulance and the amount of time got a&e, the of time they've got in a&e, the taxpayer to look taxpayer have a right to look at some of striking workers some of these striking workers in and say, look, we're in the eye and say, look, we're very sorry, but we already tell people your value for money, people to your value for money, you a pay. well you don't deserve a pay. well think a very strong think there's a very strong argument to say argument for the taxpayer to say that any pay rise you do get is coming out of my pocket. you've got a pension scheme is probably far more than a lot of people struggling . the private sector, struggling. the private sector, people that fell two stools dunng people that fell two stools during the pandemic. people that fell two stools during the pandemic . and i think during the pandemic. and i think there is an argument for them to say, well, come on, you know , say, well, come on, you know, i'm not getting value money here. never mind the moral argument that i've just touched upon now. indeed. if upon. now. indeed. now, if i look the average again, just look at the average again, just from research here does from my own research here does appear be between 5030 5000. appear to be between 5030 5000. it's almost impossible to calculate an average salary when it comes to ambulance workers

because it incorporates paramedics emergency care assistants, call handlers. and there's a variety of different sliding they depends sliding scales and they depends on where in the country you are. so why it's a wide so that's why it's such a wide average. we understand it. average. as we understand it. they offered 4% pay rise. they were offered 4% pay rise. they were offered 4% pay rise. they say that's well below inflation and had a real terms pay inflation and had a real terms pay cut , however. so is everyone pay cut, however. so is everyone else mean? they pretty much, yeah, absolutely i mean, so there are two factors here. yes everybody is struggling. and as i said , those in the private i said, those in the private sector are just you know, they don't have any kind of cushioning from public sector or pubuc cushioning from public sector or public sector money . so public sector money. so everybody is . and the other big, everybody is. and the other big, big issue is where is the money supposed to come from? if you sit down and on a pay rise? so every sector who is currently, you know, threatening to go on strike, you know, we're already in dire financial situation where they're dreaming. why is it supposed to come from? right. and when you look at the public landscape on this, i think that the vast majority of people this

is purely anecdotal . i think the is purely anecdotal. i think the vast majority of people are sympathetic towards the idea that profession kills that medical profession kills a lot of them deserve some form of pay lot of them deserve some form of pay rise. i think fewer people are happy with the idea of them having something in the region of a 19% pay rise. and then when look at the fact now that there to be a delivery partly coordinated time, they all out that no patients suffer or very few patients would suffer as a result of strike action that we will cover that no longer exists. and i'm sorry but one has to come to the conclusion that they are deliberately trying to use patient safety as a bargaining tool when comes to getting more money . and i think getting more money. and i think that's a medical negligence, is it? no well, how how can how patients not be a bargaining to if they are the people who are going to suffer? you know, if you're making chocolate bars are doing something else, the commodity that they're dealing with is life. chocolate with is life. so the chocolate bars don't exactly. so this

bars don't die. exactly. so this is the point i'm making. so anything that they do amounts patient negligence because because anything they do has ramifications for patients it doesn't have ramification . so doesn't have ramification. so how many bars of chocolate we buy? this is a defacto medical general strike and it ups the it's completely counter because people that go into medicine have vocation as much as anything. yeah absolutely . anything. yeah absolutely. absolutely. and i do completely by argument that if a lot of these people indeed, they must be they want to be strong in line and they must be really struggling moment. and that struggling the moment. and that is . do it hard is catastrophic. do find it hard to counter as when it comes to actually putting patients at risk. but the reality is that i'm sorry i'm going to have to rush you on this one because we're short time. but the we're short on time. but the reality is that this situation doesn't appear to get better no matter in charge, because matter who's in charge, because neither tories neither labour or the tories back problem is that back it. no the problem is that there needs some of there needs to some kind of independent arbiter. you can decide here are the facts, these

are the demands let's make a decision once and for all because otherwise it's just a rollercoaster blackmail and arm locking nothing gets locking and nothing gets resolved. yeah, indeed. and it's on of the strikes. i can't on top of the strikes. i can't help but as though people help but feel as though people have taste striking have got the taste for striking interrupting. thank very interrupting. thank you very much. broadcaster much. journalist and broadcaster reacting stuff reacting to the latest stuff which coming out about which is coming out about ambulance workers on strike. just quick with you in just a quick talk with you in around 10,000 ambulance workers in course, it's in the ruins, of course, it's all to go on strike. they've been offered it supposedly a 4% pay been offered it supposedly a 4% pay rise. they've said no to that. they fancy that it's that. they don't fancy that it's going incorporate going to incorporate nine nhs trusts. rise. paramedic trusts. that's rise. paramedic emergency care systems on call handlers possibly coinciding handlers and possibly coinciding with nurses strikes as well. that's on the 15th and on the 20th of december. they are saying, however, patients will come if look at the come first, but if look at the waiting times for ambulances on earth, it be that ambulance earth, can it be that ambulance waiting times right now are way higher for times higher than they were on average during the height of the pandemic ? let us height of the pandemic? let us sink in four times higher on average than they were during the height of the pandemic.

something is going very, very wrong there. i've been asking what they think about ambulance workers industrial action workers taking industrial action when out and about as a bit on. and what they had to make and here's what they had to make basically they are the army , the basically they are the army, the people i don't think they should be should be in negotiation because there are certain services , backup police and services, backup police and ambulance workers they should avoid, at the minimum to go out on strike . i mean, i do think on strike. i mean, i do think that everyone else should getting paid properly for the are doing they have to go on strike then they have to go on strike. obviously certain moral connotations about if someone's airway from concerned . airway from ups are concerned. i mean it's tough on yeah it's a one so yeah people should have access to an ambulance the same time we need to pay people are putting their neck out an actual wage so i would prefer not to go on strike because you know them

being on strike obviously there's less ambulances on road, which means you know people can be put in harm's way because of it. you already get a good service out of it. yeah, yeah, yeah. we definitely do is a bit on the slow side because i imagine it's because of the staff shortages and that but normally they're pretty good if a job is very hard. normally they're pretty good if a job is very hard . yeah i would a job is very hard. yeah i would go i would if i was the boss of nhs they would definitely get a pay nhs they would definitely get a pay rise . yeah. okay, here we go pay rise. yeah. okay, here we go . of all of the topics that i've ever tackled, gb news and there's been a fair few ones, i think that was pretty clear nature of this particular show andindeed nature of this particular show and indeed person. this and indeed me as a person. this though , is by far and away the though, is by far and away the divisive is the most divisive on social media is the most divisive . the inbox, the email divisive. the inbox, the email address is right there in front of gbviews@gbnews.uk . let of you, gbviews@gbnews.uk. let me this out there. do me just put this out there. do you back this? i'm going to strike for me now the big argument that i always i always hear every time it always comes straight back me, which is straight back at me, which is that will make that

that we will make sure that patient safety not impacted or how the when how can that the case when paramedics assistance how can that the case when para handlers assistance how can that the case when para handlers and assistance how can that the case when para handlers and indeed sistance how can that the case when para handlers and indeed nursesa call handlers and indeed nurses conceive if they go on strike at the same there's no way that now that anyone can go or patient safety is not going to be compromised in the run up to december. you already look at the service that you guys in their waiting times are absolute record highs. i'm sorry, i'm not sure can be justified if sure this can be justified if we're 4% pay rise, but we're offered a 4% pay rise, but loads of people and i mean loads of people fundamentally disagree with money for with me we've got the money for all other stuff and we all sorts of other stuff and we should paying all alone should be paying this all alone more. think the working more. i think the working conditions terrible. conditions are terrible. and one key difference, and key point of difference, and i will move on in a set before i get shouted at. but key get shouted at. but one key point difference with the point of difference is with the strikes it comes to nhs strikes when it comes to nhs workers and let's say rail workers and let's say rail workers is that there is a massive recruitment and retention nhs retention crisis within nhs and that simply exist in other that that simply exist in other sectors . so if they are not paid sectors. so if they are not paid enough and if they are overworked and if they are leaving there are the army leaving then there are the army of people to follow them up. so therefore they have a lot more

leverage. indicate leverage. it would indicate something, they? a something, wouldn't they? a range are gb news don't range of dhbs are gb news don't uk keep them coming in loads to get us to consider. you're with me christys on gb news me patrick christys on gb news house they appear house prices. they appear be dropping just for the first time in two years. could be the start of affordable housing. we of more affordable housing. we will ask that next. plus popcorn at people popcorn the at the ready people popcorn the ready or a sick bucket? the trail of harry and meghan trail of the harry and meghan documentary dropped, documentary has dropped, fair to say, little shouting. say, absolute little shouting. i'll break it down with the former royal correspondent at the charles wright. and the sun, charles wright. oh, and he's going commenting he's also going to be commenting a bit on that. rather a little bit on that. rather interesting interjection interesting timed interjection about. interesting timed interjection about . racism in the royal about. racism in the royal family . you will know what i'm family. you will know what i'm talking about. i'm sure you've got that bucket tick .

yes royal stuff up ladies and gentlemen i know got a lot of

you very hot under the collar, i think. rightly so, in my opinion. but just parked out for a second because some good news potentially you can house prices have their biggest fall have seen their biggest fall since june 2020. that's according to a new data out by nationwide today, property pnces nationwide today, property prices dropped by 1.4, with prices have dropped by 1.4, with peaking interest rates inflated by quasi mini budget back in september. that's what's being blamed anyway? but i hate to apart all of this noise , there apart all of this noise, there is more than meets the eye, so to say gb news is economics and business editor liam halligan with on the money right liam? lots to get stuck into. you take it away it worth recapping patrick talking to people in the newsroom here of prices going out prices gone down i've heard both things so what i'm going to do here is break it down so we can really get our heads around it and understand this is an important issue. so i've got some graphics here. we see that house fell in november. house prices fell in november. that's compared to october. they

fell 1.4. that's the first time we've had a full monthly in house prices since june 2020. in depths of lockdown. but house pnces depths of lockdown. but house prices are still up compared to november 2021. they're up 4.4. that's a slower rate of increase than we've seen in recent months . why house prices falling ? . why house prices falling? well, we can see from the next graphic, patrick, that on average, back january , the average, back january, the average, back january, the average mortgage rate was 3.7. still historically very low. last month, the mortgage rate after that mini budget, september, as you mentioned, which set debt markets higher . which set debt markets higher. the average mortgage rate was 5.4, much much higher. and that means people have just got less firepower when they try and buy a house because they afford to borrow as much on their given wage . so they bid less so . house wage. so they bid less so. house pnces wage. so they bid less so. house prices come down a little . and prices come down a little. and that's particularly the case among first time buyers. patrick we can see on the next slide for

first time buyers in august 2022, they were using on average around 30% of their monthly income on their mortgage payment . that's up now at about four 45, 40, 45. so once if you don't have the first time buyers weighing in, buying the flats or the houses, then those people sell to move up house housing. you don't get those cheap gains. yeah, which is what drives the property market in the uk and then we look it in terms of population growth. well from various different aspects . and various different aspects. and if i can kind of just put you on the a little bit, which is the spot a little bit, which is your going forward. your predictions going forward. you about first you mentioned about first time buyers potentially buyers struggling potentially on the on effects that the knock on effects that that can is britain's can have. what is britain's housing like going housing market look like going forward? because there aren't enough , there enough houses, are there potentially enough potentially not enough people who ones there who can afford ones that there are? write some broadcast are? i write some broadcast about a lot and for about this a lot and have for many years not building nearly enough meet enough houses to meet our natural demography before immigration. patrick we need about 250,000 homes a year. we

haven't been building at that pace consistently in any decade , the 1970s. so is a real shortfall in housing. then of course there's extra immigration. now there are two sides to this story. in the past, immigrants have come to the uk and they've built lots of houses. not least the irish people that you and i hail from. we are irish backgrounds, but now. immigrants are coming to the uk and they're not getting stuck into housebuilding because house houses are being built a much slower pace . they're not much slower pace. they're not building the infrastructure . building the infrastructure. it's not particularly their fault. it's there isn't as much building going for a whole host of planning of reasons. planning restrictions, reform and so restrictions, land reform and so on. so my prediction going forward and it's great if you've got a house, it's not so great if you're a youngster trying to buy your first home is even though we've seen a little dip in prices month on month though we've seen a little dip in the prices month on month though we've seen a little dip in the moment,month on month though we've seen a little dip in the moment, iiofllh on month though we've seen a little dip in the moment, i do :h on month though we've seen a little dip in the moment, i do think�*nonth though we've seen a little dip in the moment, i do think houses at the moment, i do think houses will going up in price think that will carry on because there's just too few house is being chased by too many people.

and yes, we may see dips here and there but i can't see a change in the long term trend, which means it's really hard for youngsters unless they got the bank of mum and dad in their pocket to try and get in the so realistically and relatively sustainably. we've got news coming up, but realistically, the house price drop is being counteracted . the fact that counteracted. the fact that interest rates are higher as , interest rates are higher as, well and indeed the house price drop is not significant because it's still gone up actually in the still going up the the losses is still going up the yeah the losses is still going up the year. it's gone up a bit this month. now, that's caught the headlines, and you headlines, of course. and you know, as journalists, we know, i think as journalists, we have changing the have to start changing the we report you're not long ago report this you're not long ago any house price. oh my god the world's going collapse world's going to collapse because. house prices are falling least the population falling at least the population are thinking great. yes if they are, if you're under 40 and you're not on the housing ladden you're not on the housing ladder, which is most people to 40, then you them to drop, 40, then you want them to drop, i'd to able to say they've i'd like to able to say they've dropped quite a bit to give youngsters a leg up, but it's only a tiny drop. patrick and

it's last month. it's only in the last month. liam halligan you very liam halligan thank you very much. a way, actually. sorry, much. in a way, actually. sorry, it's business that it's a well, it's business that it's a well, it's a relatively good news , but it's a relatively good news, but a real news story nonetheless. thank you very much. you are with me, patrick christys on gb news. ministers are news. now ministers are considering allow considering plans to allow migrants held ftx migrants to be held at its ftx migrants to be held at its ftx migrant processing centre for up to four days. you may remember this should remember this, probably should remember this, probably should remember this was the this processing centre was the scene a bit disruption scene of a bit of disruption when a massive overflow when we had a massive overflow of asylum seekers coming through gates out at the ftx processing centre and they were being held for ages. people said for up to the ages. people said this a catastrophe, what? this is a catastrophe, so what? they they're they cleared it. they're supposed to only hold them for 24 but reality is and it 24 hours, but reality is and it is the reality, it means that we don't to ask a lot of don't have time to ask a lot of these people who they these people exactly who they are, they're from, find are, where they're from, find out intentions are out what their intentions are before. release into before. we release them into wider society. indeed, spoke wider society. indeed, i spoke to should know she to someone who should know she was border force was former head of border force in uk earlier on said to me in the uk earlier on said to me that days is still not that four days is still not enough. it is a to public enough. it is a risk to public safety. but as usual, the human rights on the

rights lawyers, they're on the case they be kept case anyway. should they be kept there longer? will ask there for longer? i will ask that next. want your on that next. i want your views on this. the gb news a this. i at the gb news a gbnews.uk do you think that keeping these people in a migrant detention centre for four against human four days is against the human emergency. right. that gives a gbnews.uk. but now a lot. emergency. right. that gives a gbnews.uk. but now a lot . good gbnews.uk. but now a lot. good afternoon. it's fourth 32. this is the latest from the gb newsroom. the founder of a domestic abuse charity has told gb news she felt she was being interrogated . a reception at interrogated. a reception at buckingham palace ngozi fulani described made by prince william's godmother as unacceptable and she was shocked by her behaviour. unacceptable and she was shocked by her behaviour . a royal by her behaviour. a royal reception. lady susan hussey was forced to apologise and resign forced to apologise and resign for repeat , forced to apologise and resign for repeat, asking ms. villani why really came from. i mean, if want to find out something about somebody, ask a question once or , twice, once you've got the answer . you , twice, once you've got the answer. you move on. right. and because this whole thing is

about domestic abuse. there were other questions . but when the other questions. but when the first thing she did as well is to take my hair and move out of the way. that's the first thing. no. hello? no, nothing . you no. hello? no, nothing. you just. actually, you know. and i've never done that. i really think that we need to people's personal . space ambulance! wait! personal. space ambulance! wait! times are higher now . they were times are higher now. they were at any point last winter . new at any point last winter. new data shows nearly a third of patients in england had to wait more than half an hour to be handed to a&e last week , an handed to a&e last week, an average of 13,000 patients were also stuck in hospital beds each day, despite being ready to be discharged . gb news understands discharged. gb news understands than 44,000 migrants have now crossed channel so far this yeah crossed channel so far this year. the figure is significantly higher last year's total, when 29,000 people were intercepted . there's been intercepted. there's been a surge in the number of people trying to cross the channel this week following better weather conditions . to tv, online and

conditions. to tv, online and dab+ radio. this is gb news. stay us, patrick. back in a moment . moment. okay. welcome back . now asylum okay. welcome back. now asylum seekers could be held at the ftx processing centre in camp for up to four days. we all know the ftx processing centre. it was that one where all kicked off that one where it all kicked off because apparently people were being too long being held there far too long after record levels of after we had record levels of people coming to. that particular part of the country not so long ago anyway. that's just part of new law that ministers are considering implementing, which would extend ministers are considering implemeproposedich would extend ministers are considering implemeproposed anyway,d extend ministers are considering implemeproposed anyway, 24xtend the well proposed anyway, 24 hour to a four day period hour period to a four day period at present , hour period to a four day period at present, migrants are meant to leave no less 24 hours after arriving. so so far from calais over to dover, a border picked you up in the channel. we wish you up in the channel. we wish you on show you set foot onto british soil. you're in an

asylum seeker processing and then, well, presumably in a four star hotel within 24 hours. i mean, that's not a bad service. it is. it's pretty bad. and ryanair anyway , if it reported ryanair anyway, if it reported the potential change, give officials the ability to be more flexible in processing arrivals to the site. so is this a good idea? joining me to discuss this is deputy leader of ukip jane and international human rights lawyer david hague. thank you very much both of you yet again for coming on the show and now rebecca i'll with you i've been told categorically by somebody who to work uk border who used to work for uk border force this just still is force that this just still is not long enough to make sure that exactly who these that we know exactly who these people are and their people are and what their intentions releasing intentions are and releasing them into one society. after just days would still pose just four days would still pose a threat . your views, a serious threat. your views, rebecca i think she's frozen. david i'll start with you. you might as well start going. david mean, i think it's really it's yet another mean also from a human rights perspective looking

at it, it's yet another policy that's not going to policy. it's almost a kind of a test. so the government is setting out to see what people would think from a human rights perspective. when you look at we've seen so you look at what we've seen so far, challenges for far, we've challenges for immigrant nation detention, for things of private and things like of private and family life and discrimination, inhumane degrading treatment, lack of medical care. so those are the things that there's the things that people challenging detention under under the human rights act in places like miles that now the issue is i heard your earlier guest that it's not long enough and he's probably right because at the moment they're already not meeting requirements for the day period. that's the government and they're really not meeting the requirements in certain cases we know in miles and centre for the four day period. so why change the just for four days. for me the just for four days. for me the answer is have a clear capable policy put in place where. migrants are dealt with fairly , humanely and quickly and

fairly, humanely and quickly and i think that's part of the problem is things are taking so long you've got an asylum claim you can look at anything from six months to potentially three years. i think i think rebecca back with us now. rebecca, i can't but notice that we appear to live in a country. it's becoming routine for people to wait 24 hours for an ambulance. but if you come here illegally , but if you come here illegally, a 24 hours before you're in a starts out. exactly. i don't sound like we divesting our attentions to talking about 24 hours. so days. why are we doing it in the first place? why are we not getting the navy involved turning the boats back around and sending them back to wherever they've essentially potentially come from or a safer country ? why are we not looking country? why are we not looking at focusing in to help at focusing in place to help with administration and management? do we need to management? why do we need to looking actually this process looking to actually this process when we already can't with the process that there is in place ? process that there is in place? it's nonsensical to me that we're just diverting attention into an area that's just not going to happen. well, is this just bit of a smokescreen? and

i'll throw it back to you, david, now, because someone argued that the idea of spending anything from 24 hours to four days in a processing centre , days in a processing centre, kent, that's not kent, i mean, that's not a deterrent to people, but possibly a deterrent be if possibly a deterrent would be if you did end up getting you actually did end up getting deported hear out on deported. now hear me out on this, apparently this, because apparently a change to the old modern slavery laws you do laws will mean that if you do say you would traffic say that you would traffic terror will, then terror against will, then presumably be presumably you don't want be here do you a favour here and will do you a favour and send you back. could that be okay?! and send you back. could that be okay? i mean, i think we were getting each kind of earth getting as each kind of earth day back, get more day goes back, we get more absurd and more absurd situations and more policy or policy announcements or or whatever i mean, don't whatever it is. i mean, i don't agree with terms of agree with rebecca terms of sending back with with sending them back with the with the do agree that the navy, but i do agree that we, you know, it shouldn't be hard to asylum applications efficiently and quickly and within a couple of weeks a month at the max. why is it taking six months to three years, if we can that as well as the other issues , then that bring down the , then that will bring down the cost . everybody, the cost to. everybody, the taxpayer. i've got going taxpayer. i've got to i'm going to stick you, on to stick with you, david, on this before i give this for a second before i give the last word to david. you as a

human rights and someone who's fallen foul us the past of fallen foul us in the past of various human rights various different human rights cases. your not cases. it's fair to say your not least your own one is against someone's human rights to keep them for 24 hours in a migrant detention all four days. what's what's the what's the impact on the human rights there? what are some of the lawyers going to be going at? i mentioned at the beginning if you if you recall, but i think you know that the problem that we have and i don't want to call it a problem, but rebecca may is the human rights act is still in play. and all the challenges that will probably come from this extension arise from that, extension will arise from that, because human the of human because human the bill of human rights, which recommended, because human the bill of human rigito which recommended, because human the bill of human rigito be|ich recommended, because human the bill of human rigito be put recommended, because human the bill of human rigito be put in recommended, because human the bill of human rigito be put in place.nended, because human the bill of human rigito be put in place. so ded, because human the bill of human rigito be put in place. so would has to be put in place. so would be things like, for example inhumane and degrading treatment , medical care, lack of , lack of medical care, lack of a private family life. now of course, you will always find a lawyers and organisations that challenge those things. now surely way to address and prevent that is to make sure that those human rights are not

breached so that the detainees have access to medical and have all those things that . can't be all those things that. can't be that hard to do now. well well as well. i'm the i was thinking about this earlier on the way in when you think about are we kind popped up when you think about are we kind popped up the nightingale said i'm not saying should do something this because something like this because i suppose an admittance defeat suppose an admittance of defeat and optics to the and the optics that to the pubuc and the optics that to the public bad. and get public will be bad. and i get that. but terms of extending that. but in terms of extending a migrant detention centre, one would thought it could would have thought that it could it that difficult to do that it be that difficult to do that deliberately? not doing it? rebecca to public rebecca when it comes to public safety the safety or all this stuff, the pubuc safety or all this stuff, the public be reassured, i public will not be reassured, i think know that when you look think to know that when you look at the numbers people coming at the numbers of people coming across office is across our great home office is hitting of moving hitting its target of moving them out into society as quickly as physically i mean, as physically possible. i mean, it's a great as it's not really a great look as far as members of the public, you're the you're concerned, is it? no, the people crying out for what people are crying out for what they and they want action and they and they want action and they want it fast. and this is absolutely can't talk absolutely not it. we can't talk about rights infringement about human rights infringement when talking about when we're talking about putting people our prisons for people to one of our prisons for four because the human

four days. because the human rights they've rights are not breached. they've got care , got pretty got medical care, got pretty decent actually . decent facilities, actually. they're in pretty good they're still in pretty good care. and then we're sending out into four or five star hotels. then just having human infringe the actually having a very lovely but our country cannot any more. okay look both we thank you very much as ever that deputy leader of ukip, rebecca jane international human rights lawyer david hay just picking through the announcement they announced a migrant may announced a migrant centre may well extend. as far as i said , well extend. as far as i said, it's stable. so extend the length of that the migrants can spend there being processed to four days from 24 hours. how do you feel that? i spoke to somebody earlier on who in somebody earlier on who is in the border force. you said that, look, the reality is that a lot of these people give you fake of these people give you a fake name, a fake age. you haven't got to the mail, got time to process the mail, find about them. and find everything about them. and then targets find everything about them. and th

different hotels to drop and i suspect it will be devastating. we a sneak when it came we had a sneak peek when it came to just missing children from, migrant hotels, last alert. i mean, what could mean, the sinister of what could have happened to them there is vast. we've cases pretty have happened to them there is vast. �*stuff cases pretty have happened to them there is vast. �*stuff cas place tty have happened to them there is vast. �*stuff cas place some of nasty stuff taking place some of these i am waiting for these hotels i am waiting for these hotels i am waiting for the figures drop with the the figures to drop with the amount that have amount of people that we have who've into who've just disappeared into this moving from that now this anyway moving from that now the first trailer of the upcoming harry upcoming meghan and harry documentary released documentary has been released by. dramatic trailer , by. netflix a dramatic trailer, dramatic as dramatic hints at a tell all story of the duke , tell all story of the duke, duchess of sussex, presumably more so than the one that they cried into oprah's bosom about. and with the release , and coupled with the release, prince book, spare early prince harry's book, spare early next year, bear in mind is well the exquisitely time royal racism accusations that just dropped earlier yesterday and today it is expected to be the last one sees what's happening behind doors . fast do everything behind doors. fast do everything i could to protect my family .

i could to protect my family. from what is if i was not angry enough. i've just been interrupted by harry. i mean, for goodness sake, the trailer is released . the unfolding story is released. the unfolding story of lady in waiting having to resign and she's probably sacked after . accusations of racism and after. accusations of racism and abuse ngozi fulani. it was a travesty . well, because she was travesty. well, because she was also gb news early i think it's fair to say there are a few questions i would have to have asked her, but there we go. former royal correspondent at the sun. charles ray me the sun. charles ray joins me now. charles, start with now. charles, let's start with the documentary. saying the documentary. harry saying that do have to do that he had to do you have to do to protect his family. and there's cleverly snap there's rather cleverly snap shot of it. so you don't shot there of it. so you don't know what happened behind the scenes. kate, looking at scenes. and kate, looking at daddy do you daddy is like, kate, what do you make all of this isn't just make of all of this isn't just taking billions of pounds to throw his own family the bus. i think has taken millions think he has taken millions upwards his upwards of through his own family and you family under the bus and you know, the twitter keyboard know, all the twitter keyboard warriors they can get warriors there, they can get because this little snippet because this this little snippet that we've seen is very much

past the sick bucket dame. no, it is . i was sick in my own it is. i was sick in my own mouth. well, i. i couldn't believe what we were seeing . we believe what we were seeing. we have a producer who starts off, why do you want to make this document? and then we've got this sort of almost minute of these black and white atmos fake photographs and allegedly meghan having a cry party, throwing his head back , exasperation and. head back, exasperation and. it's all poor me now. we've we've had the meghan and harry story , their version of the story, their version of the truth. so well we'll have to wait and see till next thursday. next thursday is when the is i will watch it you know look, this is the annoying thing and just before i let you crack on charlie. i aware that those who were shouting at tv screens. now, you about ? why now, will you talk about? why are it and time? yeah are you giving it and time? yeah understand that. but i will it and will you give it airtime like the papers will give it you know lots pages on it because they are a high profile couple. everything they do it makes and

it reflects either good or mostly bad on the royal family. yeah, i, i think at this point as well there is a fine line between me. i know that i'm going to be outraged by this. i know it is going to make me angry. i know i'm going to come in and it's like i'm for all and i'm going to have to do all of that anyway because i can't. i physically can't know what. but what is amazing is the one minute, seconds clip that's minute, 12 seconds clip that's been released has been released today. brother and his today. well, his brother and his sister law are in boston, you sister in law are in boston, you know , doing charity , royal know, doing charity, royal charity events and. this is just going to undermine that as has the racism row , it's going to the racism row, it's going to undermine the whole thing . let's undermine the whole thing. let's talk about that a bit more because there is finite amount we can say about this and how a documentary at the minute on netflix because the trailer is just dropped. it's totally just dropped. yes, it's totally and we and sickening, really silly. we all know the kind of sim all kind of know the kind of sim stuff that we're going to get from now. but the that is from now. but the stuff that is very bubbling away and very much bubbling away and i would argue much more would argue is much more controversial is this it controversial is the is this it is royal race and i'm

is this royal race now? and i'm going to say over to on going to say over to you on this. i've certainly got a few choice, a lot of say about this, but it's also going. what do you write? well, me let me put write? well, let me let me put my position clear i've my position quite clear i've covered family for covered the royal family for years, i have across years, and i have never across any of the royal family any member of the royal family involved , in an act of racism involved, in an act of racism apart from prince harry when he . oh, yes. when he referred to officer cadet in an unflattering at santos he also says in costume elizabeth's hat and costume elizabeth's hat and costume that he just said it to it at a party. but you could put that to down exuberance of youth. absolutely well, because youth. absolutely well, because you could get away with something ugly. you can get away with it. no, no. but the question and where you from is a standard question that members of the royal family ask people when are at receptions. yes. okay no, lady susan hussey is well in my view is a lovely lady. i've met her several times . she's served the royal family

with total loyalty for 60 odd years now. she comes across in guernsey , fulani of this charity guernsey, fulani of this charity and first of all she moves hair out of the way. that's a no no and any man's language upset? no, no. and she's partly was trying to look a name. why not say. and you are? yes. no i got that. okay. she then says. and where do you from ? and that's where do you from? and that's way too old. goes because she keeps she clearly wants to get to the nub of it which which which caribbean island or which african place are you ? now, this african place are you? now, this woman is born in the uk and has lived all her life in england. i mean it's that simple. and a few minutes earlier she had had a conversation with nazeer afzal. now you may remember him. he was the chief prosecutor the former chief prosecutor of the cps . she chief prosecutor of the cps. she asked him the same question. and where do you from? and he says manchester to an end end of end

of there is no further interrogation i don't know who will get into susan hussey you know continually probe you know her background because clearly in goa he had said from england it's as simple you can't then turn round and say yes but where do you really from. but yeah look part of me wonders, i mean did have a picture of particular lady on the screen earlier and bnng lady on the screen earlier and bring that back up. i mean , bring that back up. i mean, clearly this was , you know, an clearly this was, you know, an event where there was a variety of people from a variety of, different faiths and ethnicities and charitable things . and look, and charitable things. and look, isuppose and charitable things. and look, i suppose could say that , well, i suppose could say that, well, you know, there are is there is an element an element that is indeed as has indeed been tweeted by various different people and of various different ethnicities and colours and creeds where it might lead to a question about what is the heritage of it should not in itself is not. and so for example let me have a bit of to

this. you know, my dad is greek, my mum is irish. right. okay. both people are white. okay. so there a there is a key points of difference that 100. but if i was an event that and was in an event like that and somebody said to me and was pressing this about so my dad's greek cypriot, my mum's irish, i'm manchester think i'm from manchester and i think you that conversation you could end that conversation relatively quickly from the transcripts that has come out. it part of me wonders whether or not this was deliberately out a little bit, whether or there are very much two sides to this. it's possible . i've read that it's possible. i've read that transcripts as well. i'm like you i'm always being asked you know where my background is i'm half scottish and half italian. so yeah so it's there's always people ask me to ask where from an ethnic please go. yeah it's quite easy the camera don't miss don't mess with us . but what, don't mess with us. but what, what do you think of this do you see this, do you view this new orleans opinion charlie as a case of a woman who's of a

certain generation is probably being clumsy probably has pushed maybe a little more than she would have wished. but i honestly have any racial intent. no, i'm i'm convinced that she has. no, she did not have any racial intentions. she's pushed the wrongly, i think the button wrongly, i think she's she's gone a bit too far with it think once she with. it i think once she started , she couldn't stop started, she couldn't stop herself . that's that's my view. herself. that's that's my view. susan has not a racist now. she has ended her career. susan has not a racist now. she has ended her career . a member has ended her career. a member of the royal household in this fashion and problem with this one, this story is it's another racial accusation . and again, racial accusation. and again, the timing of his interest. timing is dreadful because you've got william and catherine in boston that with a support was supposed to be , you know, was supposed to be, you know, focusing on their prize, the various charges that involved and tomorrow we're going to be discussing racism and. poor old william and harry suffered the last time they left the country. it was in the caribbean just very, very quickly , quickly,

very, very quickly, quickly, i want to ask you and i think it's a question, frankly, that a lot of shy away from. but i. do you think that the lady in question area is making a bit of a meal out of this or not? well, she was the one who released it all on twitter. so you know, you've got to ask yourself, why would you do that? why you not go to the palace and say, i've been insulted by a senior member of the household , but she's she's the household, but she's she's entitled to it to have a say and we know and also as well crucially we weren't that i wasn't that i don't know if i'd have there maybe my toes would have there maybe my toes would have been curling. oh, just shut up. now you go there. naturally. right. thank you very, very much okay. fantastic stuff from a royal at sun. royal correspondent at the sun. right. coming up, we have right. okay. coming up, we have sent our reporters to the happiest impressive. happiest place. impressive. believe i thought believe it or not, i thought we all up and don't all needed cheering up and don't go because 5:00 go anywhere, because after 5:00 i from a man got his i will hear from a man got his baby suffered seizure baby daughter suffered a seizure scare family a long scare. the family facing a long wait for . scare. the family facing a long wait for. paramedics, of wait for. paramedics, it's, of

shocked by her behaviour during a royal reception , lady susan a royal reception, lady susan hussey was forced to apologise , hussey was forced to apologise, rise and resign for repeatedly asking ms. villani where she really came from. i mean, if you want to find out something about somebody, you ask question once or twice , once you've got the or twice, once you've got the answer . you or twice, once you've got the answer. you move on, right? and because whole thing is about domestic abuse, there are other questions . but when the first questions. but when the first thing she did as well is to take hair and move it out of the way. that's the first thing. no no, nothing. you just actually you know, and i've never done that. i really think that we need to respect people's personal space. meanwhile, the trailer for harry and meghan, the duke and duchess of sussex is netflix docuseries has been released promoted by the streaming service as a global . the series features global. the series features personal photos that have never been published before. it's expected to air next week . no expected to air next week. no one sees what's happening behind closed doors . as to everything i

within the force measures such as an anonymous have been introduced to help them and to root out racism, misogyny and toxic conduct. commissioner told london assembly members hundreds of met police are letting the force down as over couple of decades become more bureaucratic than sensible. so setting up the good offices to succeed is critical, as is taking on those who have undermined the trust of the public . their corrupting the public. their corrupting behaviour . the public. their corrupting behaviour. they have the public. their corrupting behaviour . they have corrupted behaviour. they have corrupted our integrity with racism and other toxic conduct and we're going after them . st ives has going after them. st ives has been crowned britain's happiest place to live. the cornish seaside town overtook and northumberland to take the spot in rightmove's annual. it scored highly on its green spaces amenities and a sense of community spirit . st ives community spirit. st ives resident and winner of the voice, molly hocking, says the

up to 40 hours for an ambulance as the nhs faces delays higher than at any point this winter. this comes amid a backdrop. what we're going get stuck right in sea. by the way , ambulance sea. by the way, ambulance drivers, drunks and. drivers, nurses, drunks and. i've got some figures that might make it make wince, frankly, when it comes of this. and indeed comes to all of this. and indeed case study someone who knows case study of someone who knows a about this the a lot more about this from the coalface ever could. coalface than i ever could. matters also be about to matters could also be about to get because these get worse because these ambulance 10,000 of ambulance workers now 10,000 of them voted strike over them have voted to strike over pay them have voted to strike over pay and concerns about levels. this follows on from the example of the royal college of nursing , who will walk out for two days in december. that's on the 15th. on 20th december. on the 20th of december. wouldn't be coincidence if wouldn't it be a coincidence if these indeed coincided anyway, a resolution appear to be forthcoming as unions representing nhs staff have said they are fed up of being talked to by public school in the government who simply don't care about workers rights. this is starting to look a lot more political, isn't it, than anything else that we get should health care workers be taking industrial when the risk

involved is that much higher than with other professions in other jobs in jobs, if you go on otherjobs in jobs, if you go on strike, people don't die. now, there was a big line coming out this and i was getting this parroted back at me from variety of different gp's and people on twitter etc. to me, look twitter etc. say to me, look patrick you're got to patrick what you're got to understand cover for understand is i might cover for this won't this patient safety won't actually really massively compromised. it's symbol like compromised. it's a symbol like strike. how that be the strike. well how can that be the case paramedics emergency case if paramedics emergency care handlers care assistants call handlers and nurses go on strike at and nurses all go on strike at the time? surely, the same time? surely, surely, surely . there's going to be surely. there's going to be patient safety issues. let's just into of the just drill down into of the figures at the moment, because it's not easy listening. i'm afraid is when it comes to afraid this is when it comes to just at this just take a gander at this right. target response time right. the target response time for an ambulance specifically for an ambulance specifically for most cases is just for the most cases is just minutes. so you or a loved one or whatever, having a attack 18 minutes later from the point that you call them an ambulance, rocks. great stuff. i mean, not by any one stretch. i think it is great. okay. those of you watching on tv, you can see that

graph that's from nhs england. now, back in september 20, we all that when we were all remember that when we were in the midst of a of a global pandemic , whereby you'd have to pandemic, whereby you'd have to wait just over that 80 minute target for an ambulance fantastic stuff, great. let's fast forward to october this yeah fast forward to october this year, shall we? we're out of the woods now in terms of the pandemic, aren't we? well, the response at an all time response time is at an all time high over an hour. so if you in more rural areas, frankly just drive yourself that. just drive yourself that because that ambulance potentially not getting that 4 hours cornwall is a terribly area and should have should have to think what it's like in parts of cumbria and it's not plain sailing once an ambulance arrives either you think oh great okay has arrived. that's me safety . that's taking me to safety. well, sorry. it's not well, i'm sorry. it's not because nearly one in three patients arriving at hospitals , patients arriving at hospitals, england, by ambulance last week waited least 30 minutes to be handed over to a&e . more than handed over to a&e. more than 11,000 patients, that is 15% of the total waited over an hour .

the total waited over an hour. again, tv viewers can see . the again, tv viewers can see. the rising trend is pretty clear in case you can't figure that one out with painted in bright for red you just for emphasis. but in october more than 150,000 people had to wait up to 12 hours for a bed when they arrived at hospital. so do you think when you weigh all this up, ladies and gentlemen , that up, ladies and gentlemen, that it's justified? there are very much two sides to this. and just before i got stuck into this interview. now i want to emphasise something i think is perfectly reasonable that nhs workers should have a pay rise. absolutely. think fair absolutely. i think that's fair enough, given enough, especially given the current crisis, current cost living crisis, especially nature , the especially given the nature, the job do and of this job that they do and all of this stuff. when you really drill stuff. but when you really drill down the numbers of this supposedly ambulance workers, this paramedics, this includes paramedics, emergency assistants and emergency care assistants and call have turned down call handlers have turned down a 4% pay rise. nurses on top of that, apparently want a 19% pay rise. and if they all go strike at the same time, they're not big argument, oh, don't worry, patients actually really suffer goes the window, doesn't it? and

all they did as a straightforward matter of fact using patients as bargaining . so using patients as bargaining. so now some people think i was justified and i get that because that's their leverage . it if you that's their leverage. it if you work in the medical profession, then patients are your bargaining tool. and i can understand if can't understand that if you can't afford food table for afford put food on the table for your family, then you would your own family, then you would do but is it do whatever it takes. but is it morally ? a huge of morally right? a huge range of views on this in our inbox, more than topic i've ever than any topic i've ever covered, is saying covered, and that is saying something on this channel, on on this show. is by far and this show. this is by far and away one as far as i away the one that, as far as i can tell you, the most split can tell you, are the most split on gb is that gbnews.uk get those views coming and walking two sides to this. absolutely. joining me now is ambulance campaigner and ludlow town councillor childs, whose baby daughter sadly suffered a seizure scare . and the family, seizure scare. and the family, as i understand it faced a long wait paramedics darren look thank you very much for coming on the show. can you just tell me a little bit about what happened if it's not too traumatic? you just for a bit of context ? yes, it was. we've two

context? yes, it was. we've two instances over the past six months where our daughter had seizures that have lasted for around 15 minutes. and during that time stopped breathing. so when on the first occasion we called an ambulance and we at home in ludlow avenue said shropshire, and it 47 minutes for the ambulance to get to us. that's a blue category one emergency for a child . one year emergency for a child. one year old that's not breathing. took 47 minutes to get to us on. the second occasion we were out at the time and time. she had another seizure and stopped and because we knew there would be a long wait for the ambulance as we put her in the car and took her to the hospital ourselves and the eventually because it was only a community hospital and eventually an ambulance arrive but that took 37 minutes to arrive and, then took us to the nearest a&e and we then had a ten hour wait before we got to see anybody and see a doctor the other end. right. okay given

that context, which is harrowing , i think we all do have sincerely that everything's okay going forward. how do you feel about the idea that in the run up to christmas now roughly 10,000 ambulance workers supposed have turned down a 4% pay supposed have turned down a 4% pay rise and roughly again, 100,000 nurses, some of whom , by 100,000 nurses, some of whom, by the way, will be alder. hey children's hospital in great ormond street children's hospital as will be striking quite , probably at the same time quite, probably at the same time . yeah, yeah, i think it's at the moment they're caught a catch 22 they they've got people dying at the moment because they can't get ambulances to them in shropshire alone we've 60 or 70 people almost die waiting for ambulances . there was 700 people ambulances. there was 700 people that investigation found to die waiting for ambulances. there are already people dying up down the country, waiting for waiting to get seen and waiting to get

treated there. currently, three, three year wait lists to be seen to see somebody within the nhs, you've got , you've got you've got, you've got ambulances queuing up to 12. i was outside a&e just to get saying so people are really dying waiting for one of the one of the issues with this is that actually we do have we've never had more doctors people working in the medical and that is even per capita per head of population i understand it. and so to me, screams of inefficiency and things not being managed correctly . and being managed correctly. and that cannot really be fault of 12 years of tory rule . we keep 12 years of tory rule. we keep heanng 12 years of tory rule. we keep hearing now presumably that's the fault of people within the nhs, is it not? i think i do disagree with you slightly. i think that you know, we've had 12 years of austerity and tory cuts which has led to an underfunded , understaffed and underfunded, understaffed and underfunded, understaffed and under pressure . what have they

under pressure. what have they got ? what are they going to cut got? what are they going to cut the cap to per spend, per bed? so we at the moment have less per head for cash head than any other european countries in the nhs . they've cut the grants that nhs. they've cut the grants that used to have our own mp, philip dunne, who was the health secretary, i believe at one point, got rid of the student grants for , the student nurses. grants for, the student nurses. so now have to take out loans which they then have to pay back . and there's been like i said, it's but over the past year i suppose one of the one of the issues is though isn't it, that actually they've not really cut the wages, which is one of the big issues that they've got. just the main problem is the fact the wages aren't up in fact that the wages aren't up in line inflation. well, line with inflation. well, actually, if you look the actually, if you look at the way that well, but but wages that well, yeah, but but wages have i'm when you have been cut. i'm sure when you look at the amount of expenditure on, the nhs, the amount expenditure hasn't amount of expenditure hasn't been either and been cut on the nhs either and a lot will be shouting at that lot of will be shouting at that tv now my wage isn't

tv screens now my wage isn't going with inflation. going up in line with inflation. i on a lot less than some i am on a lot less than some ambulance workers, etc. it's more the moral side know you are much qualified to talk more the moral side know you are much this qualified to talk more the moral side know you are much this thanlified to talk more the moral side know you are much this than ified to talk more the moral side know you are much this than i am to talk more the moral side know you are much this than i am whenk more the moral side know you are much this than i am when it about this than i am when it comes to your own family being affected ambulance affected by a lengthy ambulance way. that there are way. and i get that there are reasons we've touched that reasons as we've touched on that behind that i mean behind some of that i mean clearly system isn't working clearly the system isn't working well one can get well enough and no one can get around that, whether it's the fault of the tories, which undoubtedly because if undoubtedly part is because if you government you do you are in government you do after to various after front up to various things. you know you can't things. so you know you can't just all just absolve yourself of all blame. it's a myriad blame. i suspect it's a myriad of different as well. but actually and actually going strike and actually going strike and actually at same actually doing it at the same time potentially as nurses is going to put people's lives at risk. do you that's risk. do you think that's morally conscionable ? i think morally conscionable? i think they're already in that situation anyway . i think as situation anyway. i think as i said before, people are anyway as it stands at the moment and the way the system is not working , you've got the working, you've got the ambulance waiting outside because there's no no room in a&e. they can't move patients a&e. they can't move patients a&e to the wards because the wards full and they can't

discharge because social care is doing okay. but do we do that? what do we do i think they what they to focus on is they need to bnng they to focus on is they need to bring back the discharge programmes, back the hospitals, which allows for it to actually have 120 patients a day who can be discharged , who aren't able be discharged, who aren't able to be . so if there is care to be. so if there is care packages and care packages in place , then people could be place, then people could be discharged from hospital which would return the flow back into the system. but again, because of the wages , the domiciliary of the wages, the domiciliary care staff , the nurses, the care staff, the nurses, the people in charge of the kind of care system aren't being paid a decent wage . so they're not able decent wage. so they're not able to train and retain staff because they're not able to. the staff working within that at the same as the nurses , you could same as the nurses, you could earn as much . where could in earn as much. where could in a supermarket, for example, you could being on the frontline, saving somebody's life like a paramedic . so the paramedic paramedic. so the paramedic coupons ability and the strain that they the unsociable hours they work the long hours they

work that degree trained paramedics and they're on a low low wage that isn't darren i've got it i've got to i've to say this to you, mate. you can google salary. i mean you're stupid if you google it. don't do that. don't don't try it don't try it in the first place. if you don't fancy i there's no point smart people sorry point get smart people i'm sorry but true not people but it is true it's not people who but they do also they also train to do that job because they care about people and they want people at the want to help people at the moment not able to that moment they're not able to that because of system the because of the system the way the is clogged. they the system is clogged. so they need up the system and need to free up the system and put that back in which at put that flow back in which at the all arrows to the moment all the arrows to social care. as soon as they social care. so as soon as they that then also as well that but then also as well people people like you them people people like you and them i look at ourselves and i have to look at ourselves and 90, i have to look at ourselves and go, should we be looking after elderly relatives a bit more in house they do it in house as well? they do it in a lot of other cultures. they do it a lot of other countries. it in a lot of other countries. maybe should be looking maybe we should be looking at ourselves more not ourselves a bit more and not pushing else. we pushing out someone else. we could about this all day. could talk about this all day. we may also crucially, i do hope

that your baby daughter all that your baby daughter is all right. it must have. how right. i know it must have. how do you? and i hope all do we for you? and i hope all have a wonderful christmas. okay. i got okay. thank you much. i got stuff. right. just wouldn't stuff. all right. just wouldn't give you way. of the issues give you way. some of the issues some the many, many, many some of the many, many, many issues it comes to issues when it comes to ambulance strikes, ambulance strikes and strikes, emergency carers, this is a striking call on the shocking nurses. good grief, it's hard nurses. in good grief, it's hard to start, but for most. to where to start, but for most. right. the royal right. so what are the royal mail walked out as mail staff now walked out as part of a long running dispute over pay and conditions, joining me the assistant me now is the assistant secretary communication secretary for the communication workers andy fury. thank workers union, andy fury. thank you very much, andy right. you very, very much, andy right. okay. they walked out ? okay. why have they walked out? they've walked out because we're in the employer in dispute with the employer over security , over new over job security, over new terms conditions are being terms and conditions are being imposed on the new, which is 20% less than the current employees . put them back, deliver is by up to 3 hours a day. the whole gambit of many, many different issues and that's why our members voted twice for industrial action was says let me just put it what would you i'll just come to turn up the

show our members delivered nearly 97% yes votes on both occasions on nearly 80% turnouts. these are phenomenal numbers which is said that is a key point of difference to the kind of things that we've seen with ambulance and nurses as well, where if you just kind of swallowed with the headlines, seen that they all vote for it. actually, some them, the turnout wasn't enough to wasn't even high enough to actually count votes. so actually count the votes. so for you, . they voted, you, it's different. they voted, what 97% and 80% turn what was it, 97% and 80% turn out what, twice? twice john, dunng out what, twice? twice john, during the summer, the initial strike ballot was over pay and we got 115,000 members. so we're talking a massive mandate, a mandate that any mp would be delighted receive their constituents. we voted a month later. our members voted a month later. our members voted a month later on a changed dispute and delivered an even better yes vote. nearly 98% on going nearly 80% turnout. so these are massive mandates and our members are supporting that every single strike. okay, so presumably

about what job security and conditions, is that right? what are some of the issues of job security that? because some people when you look at some of the issues we've had with various different rail strikes sometimes that go well, sometimes that people go well, actually job be it actually that job be running it obviously in technology improves and so there's a mixed bag on that because some people go, well, you've just got to move with the times. i'm afraid we can't ring fence jobs. and you may with that may disagree with that can't just jobs at the just ring fence jobs at the taxpayers is that taxpayers expense. is that what's going on at royal mail or the cw has always supported modernisation change, where it's required, where it's necessary and been decline and where there's been a decline in here's in traffic. but here's here's a fact is currently nearly fact there is currently nearly 12,000 agency workers within royal group full time they royal mail group full time they get more do they know they get paid more do they know they get paid more do they know they get same pay but the point get the same pay but the point is there's nearly 12,000. when the company announced on the 14th of october that they wish to reduce the headcount by 10,000 jobs, you know, this is simply outrageous. the port of call should be you lay your agency workers and you enhance

why are they not then if they're paying why are they not then if they're paying the say, why they just deliberately choosing to lay off their own staff? because they want to do is recruit new entrants on a level on a considerably lower wage. we've completely different terms and conditions longer hours in many cases as well. so this is a race to the bottom and members understand that clearly they are seeking to protect a service for the customer bearing in mind dunng the customer bearing in mind during the pandemic. our were hailed as key workers . they hailed as key workers. they delivered 2000 just counted out by the way by saying believe it or not, i was hailed as a key worker. the pandemic as well as for services to broadcasting. so i mean yes so it's a low bar in some senses, but i do take your point. i do take your point on the i do also know that a lot people, in fact, have got relatively personally there's a lot of people were laid off lot of people who were laid off when it came to their initial jobs pandemic. i know when it came to their initial jolleast pandemic. i know when it came to their initial jolleast a pandemic. i know when it came to their initial jolleast a couple andemic. i know when it came to their initial jolleast a couple oermic. i know when it came to their initial jolleast a couple of people know when it came to their initial jolleast a couple of people whov at least a couple of people who went work for the royal mail went to work for the royal mail and great time when they and had great time when they were was

were working there. and it was vital to it also, of vital to them. it also, of course, the clue in the name. it begs that stunned. it doesn't say it, but just in a again, i'm going ask in a moral sense, going to ask in a moral sense, in run up to christmas, etc. in the run up to christmas, etc. if get things if people can't get things delivered loved ones, that delivered to loved ones, that must people's minds. must heavy on people's minds. now, this into now, what? let's put this into perspective, so our perspective, patrick so our members to million members deliver to 32 million addresses week, addresses six days a week, parcels letters are out parcels and letters they are out there connecting the country day in, out, the through in, day out, through the through the putting themselves the pandemic, putting themselves in by meeting customers in risk by meeting the customers on doorstep day in, day out. on the doorstep day in, day out. now clearly, if our members are dispute with the employer, they are going to want to action when they actually bring they can actually bring the greatest to bear the greatest pressure to bear the responsibility here is to come to the bargaining table , to the bargaining table, negotiate as well. this is the offer that the cw is willing to meet with the chief executive over the weekend alone next week. are we not already? yes we indeed we have. but unfortunately, those negotiate are broken down. well, i wanted to break down simon thompson, the has walked away from the ceo, has walked away from those negotiations . fine. but those negotiations. fine. but what what was your demand?

what was what was your demand? well he's he's made an offer to us this unacceptable. we want to demand our demand is to get a reasonable agreement. well security right now , redundancies security right now, redundancies right , security right now, redundancies right, right. which which we're talking the iconic royal mail here , hundred and 15,000 here, hundred and 15,000 workers. there's no reason for any of them to be sacked for any absolutely not know these people. many our members have worked for these people in business. these people come and, 90, business. these people come and, go, people come and go. you know, this is it not unreasonable to i mean, look, not being funny, but i'm pretty sure everyone office and sure everyone in this office and everyone at home now everyone watching at home now would someone said would love it if someone said right, can we will ring right, we can we will ring fence in but that's not the way in job. but that's not the way the world works, is it? well, within rule, man, we've never had redundancies had compulsory redundancies and there's no need. have them in there's no need. have them in the future. attrition, the the future. the attrition, the turnover, retirements, an turnover, the retirements, an ageing there's no ageing workforce. there's no reason there's need reason there's no need whatsoever pay as well. whatsoever a pay rise as well. we want a fair and reasonable payroll which is what well if the 9% that royal mail claims they're offering for 18 months with genuine was a full 9% over

that 18 months we would take that, we would take that no problem. and been batted away as it well it's 9% it's 2% that was imposed during the summer from april this year another three and a half percent when an agreement is reached not backdated and measly one and a half percent from april next yeah half percent from april next year. the reality is we're not asking for full, you know , a asking for full, you know, a ransom here. we're asking for a reasonable and fair pay agreement that our members can embrace . and would that cost the embrace. and would that cost the taxpayer anything? now it's a private company, and here's the key point of difference. absolute key point. yeah. royal mail recall profits of mail declared recall profits of £758 million in may alone . they £758 million in may alone. they can afford it. i'll get all of that right. thank you very much. again, another talked to all day the stuff that we all okay what do you make that? ladies and gentlemen, strike strike gentlemen, we've strike strike strikes. we left, strikes. haven't we left, right and that of and centre on that walls? of course, but royal mail course, but the royal mail strikes. was assistant strikes. that was assistant secretary communication secretary of the communication workers much workers andy fury, very much different much different back very much a different back very much a different back very much a different back then the ambulance workers. the nurses ,

ambulance workers. the nurses, etc. but what do you make etc. but still, what do you make of that? because crucially as you what really cost you just said, what really cost the and i is was the taxpayer and i think is was more of a business dispute it when it comes to what's going on in medical oh that was in the medical oh that was a lesbian potentially much lesbian city potentially much more anyway partly more deadly anyway partly because this year news because this year on gb news coming released coming up netflix has released the upcoming the trailer for its upcoming explosive i'm not calling it a megaman three though it's all about royals harry about my favourite royals harry and have and meghan. we'll have the latest what might include latest on what it might include next crop. the sick book halcyon attic .

it's coming up to 530. i'm tatiana sanchez is the latest from the gb newsroom the founder of a domestic abuse charity has told she felt like she was interrogated during a reception at buckingham palace and forlani

described comments made by prince william's godmother was unacceptable and she was shocked by her behaviour during a reception. lady susan hussey was forced to apologise and resign forced to apologise and resign for repeatedly asking . ms. for repeatedly asking. ms. villani why she really came from . i villani why she really came from. i something about you ask a question once or twice. once you've got the answer you may ambulance wait times are higher now than they were at any point last winter new shows nearly a third of patients in england had to wait more than half an hour be handed over to a&e last, an average of 13,000 patients were also stuck in hospital beds each day despite being be ready to discharged . this is we have for discharged. this is we have for this hour we're going to go to quick break

racism. abuse by ngozi fulani charity worker. well, gb news is brutal reports that cameron walker is embossed now. boston, massachusetts where harry and meghan apparently been about to appeah meghan apparently been about to appear. is that right what's going on? cameron . no. harry and going on? cameron. no. harry and meghan patrick, william and catherine today , prince and catherine today, prince and princess of outbreak. there is a labour organisation that supports fungal young people trying to stop them from getting into a cycle of being in prison, etc. and trying to better their lives. i'm we're not really talking about that . oh we've got talking about that. oh we've got take because of this netflix trailer that has dropped with the duke and duchess of sussex now the cynic in me which question the timing of this because they would have known that wedding cakes were in boston week for prince william's environmental and yes environmental surprise and yes the released anyway and the trailer released anyway and by looking at the trailer it looks like harry and meghan still have a few more grievances is to not necessarily about the royal family, but the press as well. we saw in that trailer that there were images of

newspapers coming off of the princes prince . harry says we princes prince. harry says we had to do what he kids to protect his family make a move seeing crying in one shot to make it noise. they said it doesn't make more sense. hear our story from us , in other our story from us, in other words, kind of perhaps controlling narrative, pointing out that , dad, what's that? they out that, dad, what's that? they want to keep us out there in the story that they want to out that without having the side of the royal family or the british as well, or indeed the british public. it's just yet public. and it's just yet another headache the royal another headache for the royal household. because we've household. it's because we've got documentary . we got this netflix documentary. we then have harry and a biography coming out in january and perhaps even another bit later on down the line when really happy on prince william and princess here in boston and charlotte. well indeed, absolutely. yes. and the timing of it, i think, is obviously a remarkable look. you very, very much just come and walk that gbs is royal reporter. we are awaiting. yes. the arrival william and kate. not indeed harry and meghan. that would be

a new story and a half on set. of course not that i our future king queen is no. the snp's king and queen is no. the snp's leader in westminster, ian blackford, set out he blackford, set out that he will not again position not stand again for the position . he stated that he will support successor and continue to campaign scotland's right to an independence . nicholas sturgeon independence. nicholas sturgeon has rejected reports of a coup against her westminster chief and close ally as blackford announced his plans for the future well snp member of parliament angus macneil joins me now live. there we go angus, thank you very much. great to have you on the show so ian blackford is finally shuffling off his eight ian blackford is off his eight ian blackford is off to a new role in business engagement but i have to an independent and of course we know that the polls were showing independence up four points ahead of a full ahead of remaining in the uk, which seems a lot for the uk. remaining in the uk, which seems a lot for the uk . the fact that a lot for the uk. the fact that a lot for the uk. the fact that a huge party wants to go blackford group in a big that would fall. yeah but it does it doesit would fall. yeah but it does it does it make it even more

unbelievable. there is god of his own accord isn't because he's spent his entire political career for independence. if your poll is correct then you've predominately i suppose you could say the cusp of only could say on the cusp of only just a couple away from just a couple of years away from it. absolute no way in it. there's absolute no way in hell just gone gone . hell that he's just gone gone. well, ian blackford lives in alaska . i live there to alaska. i live there to hebrides, and there's quite a distance still. and for me it's two flights free in blackford. there's go there's a long way to go and there's a white right so close in way, rocks up hundreds in that way, rocks up hundreds of pounds, of thousands of pounds, taxpayers expenses . well, that's taxpayers expenses. well, that's one way to do. end all the taxpayers expenses for scottish mp and that's scottish independence. and what i and we're to help i it's our we're here to help i it's our goal right know there are serious good says frog from a lot of people which is the that basing next general election which is what nicholas sturgeon appears that appears desperate to do that external election on single issue independence would completely absolve up anything else. so for example of , else. so for example of, relatively shoddy record when it comes to the nhs education system, drug crisis is on system, the drug crisis is on there and rather as well the

issue trans rights or indeed i suppose lack of women's rights . suppose lack of women's rights. this is quite a political move , this is quite a political move, isn't it, to just ignore everything else. frankly, that is completely undemocratic . is completely undemocratic. well, it's unusual to me to be criticised and praised in the one and the one question as i'll take the place part i mean we do know this and we are riding high in the polls scotland. we do know that independence is popular we do know that the supreme blocked question supreme court blocked question of enabling a referendum to happen scotland . they did happen in scotland. they did give validity . the ballot give great validity. the ballot boxes the ballot box carried boxes at the ballot box carried , we couldn't , the authority and we couldn't have referendum instigated have a referendum instigated at holyrood authority holyrood because that authority would act and, would make westminster act and, and we know that the ballot box therefore has authority and we can those ballot boxes, the can use those ballot boxes, the same ballot boxes out and election rather than a referendum but use authority. yeah, but people do what you want. yeah, but it's not just people who are sovereign within, but sorry , with absolute respect but sorry, with absolute respect . that's tosh isn't it. because you go to a general election on

a single issue, do you? because that's referendum is for. that's what a referendum is for. so i voted if i was so if i voted yes, if i was delivering if i was desperate for independence right, i might be i might desperate for be i might be desperate for independence, but i might not agree . the snp's idea that we agree. the snp's idea that we should and prisons, but should have men and prisons, but i snp would i, which i would vote snp would i, which would i would get would mean i would get independence men women's independence and men and women's prisons. well, after independence we are going to have never been this times this in you will an in scotland you will have an election a post independence elections will be reset. but elections will be a reset. but the important thing a the important thing in a free and fair democracy and an election you can to the public with whatever manifesto you want and the public is free to vote on a manifesto if they want . so on a manifesto if they want. so that's kind of the way democracy works. if the people choose to vote for that prospect, then the people will not be assaulted. do you want speak to the ballot you want to speak to the ballot box majority? yeah it is. it will once. is it potentially side dependent? is it potentially slightly self—defeating because the last poll i looked which was the poll i looked at, which was the westminster voting intention for scotland, labour up nine scotland, had labour up nine points snp down four

points in the snp down four points in the snp down four points and i haven't seen that poll. the only thing i've seen in the couple of days is the one for independence. that's up and four ahead of remaining for independence. that's up and forthe ahead of remaining for independence. that's up and forthe uk. ahead of remaining for independence. that's up and forthe uk. okayd of remaining for independence. that's up and forthe uk. okay. andremaining for independence. that's up and forthe uk. okay. and presumably in the uk. okay. and presumably you whilst you say okay we're going to have an general election based around a single issue which is whether or not you want independence in the uk because legally you're, you're not being given a referendum, right. so you're going to try do it that way, which is somewhat arguable than a bit squishy arguable more than a bit squishy . and what would happen then in terms of rejoining the european union, some argue that union, some would argue that that would just give scotland somebody else to blame for their own mistakes shortcomings, own mistakes and shortcomings, because it because you could maybe pin it on try and get loads the on eu or try and get loads the money off them. and then i'd like today either all the european well we can see european union well we can see when certainly the government we've been over scotland at the moment wasn't elected by scotland we can see that scotland but we can see that you've got a cheering mechanism leaving the european union is to make the uk economy, which was 90% the german economy in

90% of the german economy in 2016. brexiteers have managed to make it under 70% and it was a down with a downturn and trade and we can we've seen that and figures all over the that everybody else is up 14% after the pandemic. the uk is down five so the uk and i'm brexit is making itself poorer and that's is making scotland good as well be it as and we can see what ireland is that you've been outside the uk do you you support and can i just ask can i just ask you about this i just want to ask you about this. right do you personally support having men women's presence? do you actually no. right. no so you're asking people to vote for your party. your party, if you don't support policy because . don't support policy because. no, this is if i want an independence to vote for you and your constituents . i'm part of your constituents. i'm part of what i would be voting for that. and most independence is a policy that you don't even agree with. you just you just expose

the absolute not the reveal manoeuvre, but you would you think you've missed a huge point hit those and those powers are controlled at holyrood and we're talking about a westminster election there's that there's a difference on those points. difference even on those points. but the point of an election of course remember secured course is remember we secured independence we independence at an election, we then afterwards then have an election afterwards where then choose the where the people then choose the manifesto independence manifesto for independence for independent parliament as opposed getting independence opposed to getting independence and between two. and some difference between two. all . okay. or i have all right. okay. or i have enjoyed this back and forth. thank you very much, congressman. the scottish national you oh, national party. thank you oh, i take great stuff right reggie. say luck on the albanian prime and he rama have spoken afternoon and agreed on the need to tackle illegal immigration. well thank house nice and number ten stressed there's no one single fix for illegal immigration but said that working with international partners important. comes partners is important. it comes amid plans for amid reports of plans for migrants illegally crossing the channel to be held at the ftx centre kent for up to four centre in kent for up to four days on these new plans. with me now is shoaib khan, human

lawyer. i believe yes they are fast becoming a regular on this show i must say thank you very much is it in your view against somebody's human rights to detain them at ftx for four days while we figure out who they are ? yes, i think it is , obviously. ? yes, i think it is, obviously. well it's against the law anyway. and that's obviously domestic, which is law. and it's the law to detain them for more than 4 hours. but i think i mean, obviously there's good reason for that. and those aren't hague old ancient rulings we have to follow. they they came into force just in came we came into force just in 2018. so was this government , 2018. so was this government, the tory government who brought that into force . obviously it that into force. obviously it was at the time and considered and parliament considered . and parliament considered. consider how long people should be kept there and the absolute minimum was 24 hours. now the to understand is that is not some detention centre, that is what's called short term holding facility , just like any of us facility, just like any of us with implemented through a board and.then with implemented through a board and. then you get questioned for and. then you get questioned for a while and then extreme circumstances . yeah, they give

circumstances. yeah, they give permission to keep people there when we've got. yes. okay, fine. so but when we've got as indeed i a former head of border i had a former head of border force is let's be force earlier who is let's be honest with really, really honest with you, really, really experience in dealing with the situation that's going now. he said , 24 hours said unequivocally, 24 hours even. he said four days is not long enough to dictate whether or not these people pose some of national security threat to britain . he openly said that britain. he openly said that loads them are lying about their age , where they're from, about age, where they're from, about sorts of stuff and. can you not see one? maybe that does need to be a change in the to stop. well these people just being released into society really it would be a free for all would it not. i no because how long that the home office need. that's the point. never give a point. they never give you a trial is easily longer than 24 hours. i mean it takes you hours. i mean it takes you hours. customs. how hours. american customs. how have told you much time have they told you how much time you them a week and you would give them a week and they will about the they will tell you about the thousands in week and thousands coming in week and that's you give them that's enough. you give them a month. i mean, look at how long

they to take cite a simple asylum claim. mean, how asylum claim. i mean, that's how the and that the home office works. and that is down to lack of resourcing and come with incompetence. and come up with incompetence. and know that, especially and we all know that, especially with the succession of home secretaries, is secretaries, that and that is the and we're not saying the point. and we're not saying necessarily know, need necessarily, you know, they need to claims assessed to have their claims assessed and they need to be given permission to stay the uk permission to stay in the uk dunng permission to stay in the uk during time. but can't keep during that time. but can't keep someone for questioning. more than this takes than 24 hours. and this takes months as we've heard and as months and as we've heard and as yet this week, what's on cardboard there's doors, cardboard boxes there's doors, there's blankets hanging to keep there's blankets hanging to keep the rain out. but i'm going to hang on a minute. i'm fleeing. walsh if i'm fleeing war, i'm persecuted. oh, oh. i was drugged here against my will and modern slavery laws. in which case, why don't we do him a favour and send him back? because presumably they don't want come in. you explain want to come in. can you explain to how someone who's claiming to me how someone who's claiming that they were brought here as a victim human trafficking that they were brought here as a victim be1uman trafficking that they were brought here as a victim be given trafficking that they were brought here as a victim be given trafrightg that they were brought here as a victim be given traf right to should be given the right to stay? presumably by stay? because presumably by definition to definition they didn't want to be the first place, send be here in the first place, send them back. i think you quite understand concept of human

understand the concept of human trafficking. well, what that means. i mean, obviously you means. but i mean, obviously you educate now. on, educate educate me now. come on, educate me, me. yeah. so that's me, educate me. yeah. so that's what i'm telling you. so obviously every case is different. they're a victim. modern they've been modern slavery, they've been here against will. here to work against their will. and need to assess and so then we need to assess the claim. we need to see why they're in danger. we want to send back have them send them back and have them trafficked in a weeks. trafficked again in a few weeks. those obviously, we those obviously, that's what we do. sending them back do. we just sending them back their but, you know their trafficker. but, you know but but you look, i've interviewed you numerous times. you an intelligent you are obviously an intelligent man. if strapped man. you no doubt if i strapped you a lie detector test you up to a lie detector test right now and you city you right now and made you city you know well as i that the vast know as well as i that the vast majority of these people have not been human trafficked. they've paid some more money to bnng they've paid some more money to bring here, you know, that bring them here, you know, that you. so i think that the you. and so i think that the majority of them make the claim for trafficking anyway. and i think that's the beginning of these claims . and that's these asylum claims. and that's one thing that i have argued with the media so many times that human that. these are not human trafficking , that human trafficking, that human smuggling . and there's a smuggling victims. and there's a huge difference. and that's when

people want to expose these people want to expose these people in some they say, oh, the human traffickers, they're not even human traffickers. bring them a better they're human smugglers . but you don't answer smugglers. but you don't answer my question . agree with you my question. so i agree with you what saying why you what you're saying why do you think those most of them think most of those most of them are not human trafficking victims? i agree what victims? i agree with what you're don't you're saying. and they don't came well, but whether came to me. well, but whether not victims human not the victims of human trafficking smuggling, trafficking or human smuggling, which a little bit which sounds to me a little bit like a technicality the is like a technicality the fact is that if their asylum claim is rebuffed, we don't that they should be granted asylum on account of the fact that they've come from a safe country and paid money voluntarily and paid money to voluntarily and willingly over here for no reason other than if they want to live in the united. right. they do to claim, don't they? they do to claim, don't they? they are the of people smuggling human . and you must know that human. and you must know that that's nonsense kind of just those are two completely different things people trafficking is not catholic smuggling and trafficking are two completely different things modern slavery. they claim that

they were victims of modern slavery, that ten right. they claim to be the victims of modern slavery were trafficked. they were brought here against their will. right. but, you know that you must know that that's not true. really don't you know that that's a loophole that you i mean, obviously wouldn't know that. how would i know that you're human rights lawyer. you deal with this and that's what it is. the point is, when we get to that stage and also, i mean, the fact that you're saying when you just said when we decide that they're asylum seekers, that they're not asylum seekers, who we the home office who is we if in the home office they it wrong more half they get it wrong more than half of the time, more than 50% of their decisions are overturned by courts. by the court by british courts. so wouldn't really the home so i wouldn't really the home office decision if. office to make that decision if. you're yes. eventually you're saying? yes. eventually when they're trying bilston and they've through other they've gone through other processes, then of course there arrangements be arrangements for them to be removed from the uk and obviously still has to be obviously that still has to be done under humane of course. done under humane way of course. but course many them but yes, of course many of them are do you just are removed. do do you just personally represent people coming channel or do coming across the channel or do you never represent them ? i

you never represent them? i mean, don't why you transfer mean, i don't why you transfer the questions about people i represent, but no, i really do, if that is the question . you ask if that is the question. you ask them. no, no. that was it. it was direct relevance. just to the topic that we're talking about. sorry, i asked one of my andifs about. sorry, i asked one of my and it's been quite answer. and it's been quite your answer. do, do do you represent people who come over the channel where it very for you do you it would be very for you do you don't do it now . yeah. i mean don't do it now. yeah. i mean i can't say i've never a single one but very rarely perhaps but when you have you have done is lucrative . uh not to be honest lucrative. uh not to be honest but most of them have no money. so you don't paid for representing them at all. mostly it's pro—bono, which means free work when they verified through charities. so we don't get paid occasionally . if they have occasionally. if they have friends or family, we want to support them many times as charities churches, many of them actually living in or mosques or being supported by the community. and then the community. and then the community gets together maybe for legal fees, but usually

for the legal fees, but usually it's pro—bono. a charity is just refer cases on to you. so we so we have an army of we have an army of lawyers in this country who according to you are working full free simply just to try to ensure that these people given safe passage across the channel and. it's actually many are but again i'm speaking for myself anyway because you give that's the way i mean that's way you work there are those who might be you very much. i have no doubt it will only be a matter of hours. it's what i told you. joe khan, human rights lawyer, that. okay, lots of you be getting in touch with. your thoughts strikes. we're going thoughts on strikes. we're going finish emails and all finish the few emails and all the people's channel of course. and that quite enough. and that was quite enough. i think the channel that think about the channel that harry says pay new harry says the pay for a new is 27,500. the starting for 27,500. the starting pay for officers 24,500, the starting pay officers 24,500, the starting pay for a fine officer is 27,000 police officers and five officers lay their lives on the line every. single time they get a call. nurses don't get complained about the unrealistic pay complained about the unrealistic pay increases. that's from
