wake up and deliberately spend hours of life watching hours of my life watching something knew make me very, something i knew make me very, very or on with my day in very angry or on with my day in blissful ignorance, actually be happy with my life . i chose happy with my life. i chose happiness. i've seen enough. i've seen harry grow. i've happiness. i've seen enough. i've seen harry grow . i've seen i've seen harry grow. i've seen him get married. i've seen the woman he married. shamelessly use title for self—promotion. i've into oprah's i've seen cry into oprah's cleavage. accuse the royals and all of us racism . i've seen all of us of racism. i've seen them make the and prince them make the queen and prince lives miserable. i've seen them try to overshadow the good that prince william kate tried to prince william and kate tried to do. i've seen be rampant do. i've seen them be rampant hypocrites , taking private hypocrites, taking private jets around while lecturing around the world while lecturing us climate crisis . i've us on the climate crisis. i've seen them try to destroy our royal family and tarnished britain's reputation on the world stage. i have seen enough so like many of you watching so i like many of you watching and listening to this show right now, will be reacting to the various clips i am no doubt going have to endure of this going to have to endure of this documentary. reacting documentary. i'll be reacting them air, which means them live on air, which means i can now legitimately use the excuse. the only reason i'm engaging with meghan's engaging with harry meghan's multi—million of multi—million pound sell—out of our royal family is because i am

literally be here . so literally paid to be here. so with that said , let's crack on. with that said, let's crack on. joining me now , two royal joining me now, two royal experts, journalists and broadcaster jennie bond experts, journalists and broadcasterjennie bond and ingnd broadcasterjennie bond and ingrid seward, editor of majesty magazine. jennie, i will start with you. you are going to have to educate me. the top lines of what we've seen so far from harry meghan's netflix into harry and meghan's netflix into action . well, do you know what action. well, do you know what it was all rather underwhelming. i think i spent 3 hours of my life this morning looking at it all. and, you know, if in these times of crisis and cost of living and the rest of it, we are interested in the minutia of are interested in the minutia of a charming story. then this is for you. but what we learned was, you know, how they met and how he was late on the first date, etc. underpinned by a similar resentment against . all similar resentment against. all the media on both sides of the atlantic actually and a of talk about race racial bias and unconscious bias which i respect and that he that he has signed

that up. i think it is an important topic but as for explosive or attacks on the royal family, no, they weren't really there. one would expect that perhaps that is to come, though. ingrid, your hot take on what we've seen so far. do you think they're rolling the wicket for something more serious. well i think they're really playing the race card because that seems to be the modus operandi for all this apart from trying to slightly changing love story. i think one of the newspapers that they hate the sun rolled out five inconsistent essays. so it all makes as jenny said it almost quite fun when the rest of the news so depressing . so of the news so depressing. so i think that they're building up to the last series when they're going to attack the palace and people that work there for being racist . and harry well you know racist. and harry well you know unconditional racism he talks about don't go to sleep patrick.

no no no i'm not it's just it's just i'm just wondering. you're gone. harry talks about unconditional racism and he then says that he was actually at fault because he lived within a bubble. within a bubble. and he didn't think he was racist. but the very fact that he didn't think he was racist or didn't nofice think he was racist or didn't notice anything about it meant that he was racist. so the message is muddled . one thing i message is muddled. one thing i did find quite interesting is that meghan very anxious to let us know how intelligent she is . us know how intelligent she is. and she obviously is . but for an and she obviously is. but for an intelligent woman, she seems to be very, very remarkably so unaware of what she was marrying into . yes. but someone that's into. yes. but someone that's used to reading scripts and doing films and doing television. do you'd think she would have studied the royal family a little bit before she married into them? so i. i find that very odd. well, it's almost

unbelievable, isn't it, ingrid? it's almost unbelievable that somebody could be so unaware both of themselves and indeed the family, that they're to marry into . jenny, you the family, that they're to marry into .jenny, you said the family, that they're to marry into . jenny, you said that marry into. jenny, you said that it was a little bit underwhelmed . perhaps this is a good thing for harry because if this was absolutely, completely, utterly, 100% bombshell, then there would be way back him after what be way back to him after what many people may come to regard as the inevitable divorce . yeah, as the inevitable divorce. yeah, but, you know, i don't think they a back. they're very they a way back. they're very happy the life that they've happy in the life that they've got what . what i'd like got out of what. what i'd like to know why they've done this. the first trailer opened with why you making this documentary? we haven't really got the we still haven't really got the answer to that beyond meghan's saying well people might to hear it from our own mouths . well yes it from our own mouths. well yes some people might . but it from our own mouths. well yes some people might. but i it from our own mouths. well yes some people might . but i agree some people might. but i agree on the lack of knowledge that meghan showed was astonished she had to curtsy to queen. she had to learn the national. well, that's fair enough . she didn't that's fair enough. she didn't know what a walkabout was . but

know what a walkabout was. but when she did do that walkabout and this is what was quite confusing i think nottingham on her first appearance as she was she was as a breath of fresh air and harry says that in the documentary that she was brilliant at this job. she was perfect the role and perfect for the role and i thought, wow, this can do thought, wow, this woman can do it. she well, i think she it. and she well, i think she could done it if they had just stuck to it. but they didn't understand. apparently that this was hierarchy and that they was a hierarchy and that they were be the boss. were not going to be the boss. yes, indeed. now, ingrid , harry yes, indeed. now, ingrid, harry talks a lot about unconscious bias. from what i've gleaned of twitter anyway. do you think there is a whiff of a man here is trying to distance from the fact that he did at one point in his life go out wearing gay uniform ? well, harry's on a few uniform? well, harry's on a few other sort of what you could call racist things, but i think he does say that it was the worst thing he felt he'd ever done. and he was deeply sorry . done. and he was deeply sorry. it took him a long time to recover from that. and i think basically we have to forgive him

for that. you know, he was young and crazy and he thought it would be and he really paid for his mistake , i feel, because, his mistake, i feel, because, you know, he lost respect to a lot of people globally because of that. so i don't think there's too much to read in that . but harry's sort of kind of admits that he was an unconscious racist simply because he didn't know any better . i because he didn't know any better. i think because he didn't know any better . i think that's what because he didn't know any better. i think that's what he's trying to say. sometimes it's really difficult to understand what either of them actually . what either of them actually. well, this is this is part of we thank you very, very much. a good way to kick off the show. you have educate me on exactly maybe the ground of this. i'm going have to talk about this for quite a while. know it just piqued the interest of lot piqued the interest of a lot of people. you much, jenny. people. you very much, jenny. i believe back. you're believe you're back. you're going back. you, going to coming back. thank you, rosa. that rosa. jenny bone, that journalist and broadcaster and ingnd journalist and broadcaster and ingrid seward, of majesty ingrid seward, editor of majesty magazine what right. thank you. what a fantastic. my kind of royals. my kind who just kind of royals. people who just use title for shameless use the title for shameless anyway. as were anyway. well, as we were discussing that lot on discussing, that was a lot on

race in the new series. oh, good . okay. so over the course of this show , am going to be this show, am going to be watching clips of this for the first time, along with many you and to them. so here's and listening to them. so here's first things come. first taste of things to come. let's it. what people need let's have it. what people need to understand as as a lot to understand is as far as a lot of family were concerned, of the family were concerned, everything that she was put through, they put through as well. almost a well. so it was almost like a life passage and of the members of families right that of families like right that my wife to go through that. so wife had to go through that. so why should your girlfriend be treated differently ? why treated any differently? why should special should you get special treatment? why should she be protected ? and the protected? and i said the difference is the race element of . that is difference is the race element of. that is interesting. a couple of things wrapped up in all that there is the women in the royal family issue and am not diminishing whatsoever. in fact, it's impossible to diminish what it must be like. you look at diana fergie , you look at diana and fergie, kate as just this idea now kate as well. just this idea now that you are in a very very structured family by definition , that's what the royal family is. i, unlike harry, not surprised that there is a hierarchy in the royal family.

however are a woman, however if you are a woman, maybe there's in that. maybe there's a role in that. i know people will be shouting at it now going we had it now going well. we had a queen years, yet slightly queen for years, yet slightly different now. slightly different. suppose he's different. but i suppose he's raised on top raised that race element on top of it. must be incredibly difficult to be followed round by paparazzi for a lot of your life. and must be very, life. and that must be very, very. i don't anyway, very. but i don't know. anyway, let's well, royal let's cross now. well, royal reporter walker who's reporter cameron walker who's watching for us. and yeah in watching it for us. and yeah in gb news royal reaction. come in. i did my best . gb news royal reaction. come in. i did my best. some would call it being incredibly unprofessional, but i did my best to try to distance myself initially from the meghan and harry documentary. is it correct that we have we've we've sent you a numerous others to a cinema so you can watch all of this stuff all day. if we really put you this . you have indeed, put you this. you have indeed, patrick. yes. i should get the popcorn out presently. been what? been here since 8:00 this morning watching the first three episodes which have of this netflix series involving harry and meghan . we just saw a clip

and meghan. we just saw a clip there of prince harry alluding to the fact that he felt that people withinside palace were not kind of surprised about treatments which he perceives. meghan was getting from the press. and they said to him that other female members of the royal family who have married into the royal family got the same treatments and therefore meghan should suck it up, get on with , and it would eventually with, and it would eventually get better . well, i'm with, and it would eventually get better. well, i'm joined with, and it would eventually get better . well, i'm joined now get better. well, i'm joined now by historian who has also by royal historian who has also watched this netflix documentary . he's also been with me for a very long time now. rafe particularly on this race issue, which harry talks about and the fact that people within buckingham palace, according to prince harry, felt that meghan was not given any different by the media to other female of the royal family. well look, in our contemporary culture, victim is venerated in if not revered victims are seen as good virtuous people . and what we've virtuous people. and what we've got to here in this documentary is an attempt to portray both

harry and meghan, particularly as victims. they're of everything. they're victims of racism . they're victims of their racism. they're victims of their families they're victims of the media they're victims of their upbringing, of monarchy. they're victims. even brexit. can you can you believe it ? you know, if can you believe it? you know, if a master propagandist for centuries have had a golden rule, if you tell a lie long enough, people will believe it . enough, people will believe it. and this is just maybe the latest part of, that game plan that we're seeing here to, try to convince the world that this pair, know, pampered prima pair, you know, pampered prima donnas actually victims and donnas, are actually victims and it's a complete lie. they're not truth to power. the speaking lies about power. and, you truth to power. the speaking lies about power . and, you know, lies about power. and, you know, this is quite a dishwater documentary series. i have to . documentary series. i have to. but if it does win any award, it should be for best fantasy series. well it's quite a point that you made that they say you mentioned brexit and there's a points in this documentary where they talk about the fact that we in the fallout from the brexit referendum of 2016 in november, i think it was 2017, when harry

and meghan was announced that they had got engaged . and the they had got engaged. and the anti—immigration rhetoric which netflix series believes happens back at that and how that played into race from within the united kingdom . and just before i get kingdom. and just before i get you to respond to that and patrick, you probably want to respond to this, too actually, we've a clip from news we've got a clip from gb news very own nigel farage, who is reacting that specific reacting to that specific point from documentary . well, from the documentary. well, perhaps no great surprise that harry and meghan chose to use brexit as one the causes for brexit as one of the causes for the terrible racism that was put against them . they draw against them. they draw on extreme wing historians. they draw on fake news headlines from the guardian and elsewhere . and the guardian and elsewhere. and what they're really saying is that 52% of prince harry's country of birth are bad , racist country of birth are bad, racist people. this is all about politics. ultimately isn't it? this is all about short term . this is all about short term. make money out of dissing the royal family and the united kingdom and then long term give

a political from which meghan can launch career in the usa. i have to say, i think of her actions, their behaviour towards their family and everybody else . they are nothing short of from harry and meghan's perspective. clearly they feel like there was some kind of agenda against them , particularly with the race thing within the media and within british society . what's within british society. what's your take on that ? well, i think your take on that? well, i think is quite a scurrilous accusation make and it's a slander against . the 52% of britain so actually voted for to suggest that their voted for to suggest that their vote was linked with racism and anti—immigration stunts. i mean, it seems quite clear that's there's a complete lack of self—awareness , the part of self—awareness, the part of harry and meghan to actually ask, have we actually done anything wrong in our ten year in the royal ? is there anything in the royal? is there anything that we did that perhaps could have turned the british public against us? because it's clear was so much goodwill towards this at the beginning of their relation ship? we saw that the

press coverage was remarkable. we the long walk outside windsor castle. crowds lined there that we haven't seen even in the mall because the space there is so long i was so enthusiastic that we had to meghan. i called her a hindu princess a princess able to reach other parts . normal to reach other parts. normal princesses reach such as princesses can't reach such as in the commonwealth and so forth. we saw the royal family with arms welcoming meghan with open arms welcoming meghan in. meghan was the first partner of a member of the world who wasn't to the queen invited to spend christmas, prince charles recommended his favourite black choir to come and perform at the royal wedding . there was so much royal wedding. there was so much goodwill there to try suggest goodwill there to try to suggest that or anti—immigration that racism or anti—immigration stance lies at the heart of why things went sour, i think is to completely the mr. ball on this, but certainly sides to this story isn't there that seems be this buckingham palace this side buckingham palace aside and indeed what harry and meghan saying and believe meghan are saying and believe and netflix put out and what netflix has put out there documentary. there in this documentary. right, the moment. right, for the moment. thank you. but on that theme of two sides to every we've been

sides to every story we've been told sources, they told by royal sources, they insist that no was made to. try and get any kind of comment . the and get any kind of comment. the buckingham palace or kensington palace or indeed a member of royal family to react to this particular document . they say particular document. they say that in the last hour, that netflix in the last hour, a source for netflix said the buckingham palace on kensington palace were contacted in advance and given the rights to reply to claims the series. patrick i think the british public are going to struggle to decide which which side of this story to believe, because clearly there is two sides to this story . yeah, obviously. look, cameron and. right. you very much and. right. thank you very much on doing stellar work there in the cinema putting yourselves through inflicting all of this upon you. just a few bits bobs to pick up that. very, very to pick up on that. very, very briefly. is i think maybe briefly. which is i think maybe just maybe might be easier just maybe it might be easier for meghan and harry to assume the reason why public sentiment turned . meghan was raised turned. meghan was raised related as opposed to the fact that maybe just don't like her. and they think that maybe he's been got out and yeah, bad luck

when it comes to the that when it comes to the idea that just slamming 52% of the british population as racists, i mean, they be deciding that they may well be deciding that america a bigger market. and america is a bigger market. and i that, but i understand all of that, but the market is the american market is significantly more fickle and they turn themselves into the kardashians. they might have to suffer wrath . some of that, suffer same wrath. some of that, right. breaking you right. breaking news for you now. very much. change now. moving on very much. change your ladies and. jess, your tone, ladies and. jess, very much it. so some very much change it. so some breaking you the of breaking news. you the number of children of 15 who children under the age of 15 who have from invasive strep a, have died from invasive strep a, which is that illness is doing the rounds at the moment in england risen 13. sadly the england has risen 13. sadly the uk health security agency has just said that taking the uk total to i think we'll get a little bit more detail that so it's written to 50 now you are with me patrick christys gb news coming up we are standing by for the sentence of american woman and sacoolas after she pleaded to causing harry dunn's death catastrophic. we all remember that case and we will go live to the old bailey. that happens. but before that, we're going to go a very, very short break.

make sure. you keep these views coming in, by the way, vaiews@gbnews.uk, i'm going to ask if you have watched ask you if you have watched this, harry meghan this, harry and meghan service do the lifting do a lot of the heavy lifting for i have managed to for me today. i have managed to avoid it, the plague, and i intend to do so as much as possible. vaiews@gbnews.uk your views? .

the clean, green jobs of the future . but rishi sunak is so future. but rishi sunak is so weak being pushed around by his backbenchers that you just can't deliver . the home office says deliver. the home office says military personnel and volunteers are being trained to support services, including border force , airports and border force, airports and ports, as

take welcome back, everybody , now. welcome back, everybody, now. and lots of you have been getting in touch with your thoughts on the sussexes. that's right. yes this is richard. yes, there is unconscious bias against meghan, not because of race, all race, but because we all unconsciously recognise her personality . yeah, this is part personality. yeah, this is part of it, isn't it? i don't go but wonder richard, thank you very much whether or not it's doing more to diminish genuine racism , indeed they really just , if indeed they really just accept the fact that people just don't like her, maybe there's not. anyway, steph says, well

then patrick, we chose happiness today to sick of the pair of them all supposed out to the real royals hope. they keep their chins up and their dignity intact and i honestly feel incredibly steph for the incredibly sorry steph for the real royals i'm you've called them because they right them that because they are right because reasons why because one of the reasons why i feel for them is because feel sorry for them is because it's not in their remit it's not really in their remit to comment on stuff. it i mean they by definition try to maintain a relatively silence unless they're absolutely backed it. fascinating is it. and what is fascinating is that even in the very creation of this netflix docu series, which yes , i have not watched which yes, i have not watched and digital and see, but anyway the netflix is it right. okay. well approached the royal family for comment the. royal family said i you won't said no you did well i you won't that frankly because even in the trailers which i did watch for the harry and meghan stuff, it was of like, well, was much a case of like, well, actually that footage not actually that footage is not real, that is from real, is it? that is from a katie price press pack, which i think an odd choice for harry think is an odd choice for harry and to have gone for and meghan to have gone for and they come out netflix and they had to come out netflix and 90, they had to come out netflix and go, oh, so we know that trailer

wasn't to be taken literally. okay, you're already okay, well, you're already picking this and picking and choosing at this and beanng picking and choosing at this and bearing some of the bearing in mind some of the apps demonstrable whoppers that meghan harry told while they meghan and harry told while they were into oprah's bosom. were crying into oprah's bosom. i am absolutely convinced. i believe the royal family, when they they weren't they say that they weren't approached on this approached for comment on this particular piece, which just questioned quality of questioned the quality of journalism presentation when journalism or presentation when it comes to it, doesn't it, mark says definitely lost his says harry definitely lost his marbles spewing marbles with this he is spewing feels for him he seems so feels sorry for him he seems so mixed up confused come back mixed up and confused come back pre marriage harry. yes i mean we all loved harry. i personally although i think this say more about me than anything else i liked harry when he was just falling out in nightclubs was a bit of a lad . i did like that. bit of a lad. i did like that. apart from yes. stop he wore something shouldn't have worn something he shouldn't have worn . i liked that version of . but i liked that version of because a bit of a lad. because he was a bit of a lad. he was relatively never going to be could kind of get be king. so we could kind of get away with stuff. and he was a cheeky chappy and don't actually think more think that made a lot more relatable to the masses than it does. idea fact that does. idea of the fact that meghan may be made the

meghan markle may be made the royal relatable royal family more relatable because etc. because of her ethnicity, etc. i know views. maybe people know your views. maybe people think to me about think differently to me about that. perhaps they could have done as an option. done both that as an option. maybe done of maybe they could have done of those the same time. those things at the same time. but harry, me, and but alas no, harry, to me, and this is in response to mark's wonderful email. thank you. harry to see, i think harry to me does see, i think you're right mark a confused you're right mark a bit confused about all this. why is that? well, i suspect that's maybe because theory because critical theory and relentlessly trying to pigeonhole people and psychoanalyse someone's unconscious is a very unconscious bias is a very very difficult thing to get your head around lot of it around because to me a lot of it just really make much just doesn't really make much sense must sense anyway. and it must unusual harry to almost have unusual for harry to almost have to absolutely every to question absolutely every single thing that he's ever had to his every lived to do his life, every lived experience, every thought he's ever had, of that stuff he ever had, all of that stuff he must be questioning be well must now be questioning be well was not found. it is some uncle conscious bias was i think you know because that was planted in my at birth by being as my head at birth by being as opposed to living his life opposed to just living his life as to being to be as opposed to being able to be free easy. and think you free and easy. and i think you want maybe thought want to maybe thought because that's thought the that's all i thought at the time. and i don't anymore i

think the world is now an incredibly confusing to incredibly confusing place to harry possibly harry and possibly possibly possibly was born possibly for a chap who was born into luxury, finally told into luxury, was finally told what what to wear what to do and what to wear apart from that one time all of his maybe with his life maybe now is with a woman does exactly the same for him maybe that the him and maybe that isn't the best thing him. keith says best thing for him. keith says bias a gift, a professional bias is a gift, a professional victims desperate victims who are desperate identify bigotry where. there is none. keith thank you very, very much. gbp is a gb news don't i keep these views coming in? will do some other news. very shortly. but you are with me. patrick christys at gb news. plenty more still come . plenty more still to come. unveiled a raft of plans to scale up the economy. our very own will pick own liam halligan will pick through of that. but as through all of that. but now as he allies . patrick, thank you. he allies. patrick, thank you. it's 332. your top stories , the it's 332. your top stories, the gb newsroom and start with some breaking news . the gb newsroom and start with some breaking news. the uk health security agency confirmed that 15 children under the age of 15 have now died from strep a. 30

was something called the prawn cocktail offence . if that's when cocktail offence. if that's when the former labour leader, the late john smith, the late my they went the city of london they went the city of london they went the city of london they went to businesses the uk to say after years out of power labouris to say after years out of power labour is now the party of business we're not going to crush the economy. you can trust us with the public finances that prawn cocktail offensive it was named after a rather naff cocktail prawn cocktail starter that was popular back in the seventies eighties. you probably never had one. i'm partial to the pro cocktail . like how many the pro cocktail. like how many people died out in the seventies. they carry out christmas log. yeah. oh yeah. so but the thing about the bronco fence is the tories made fun of it then and they made fun of it now. it worked. it laid the bafis now. it worked. it laid the basis for brown, blair, new labour and, and of course new labour and, and of course new labour ended up winning lots of in office. and there's a new cocktail offensive and it starts big time publicly in canary

wharf today . right. keir starmer wharf today. right. keir starmer gave a speech rachel reeves gave a speech and. this is what the shadow chancellor had to say. britain can achieve so much in innovation and trade and in growth. we have the ability . but growth. we have the ability. but we need government and business together to make the most of that great potential to spread opportunity for and wide right across the country and to allow everyone with the talent and the effort and the ideas to see their vision through to reality . yes no, liam, you actually got up close and personal in your graduate. i but rachel reeves afterwards we'll be showing that later on. gb news. a lot of years listeners may not be aware of who rachel reeves is, but they're going to be hearing and seeing a lot more of her over the next couple of years as the general approaches. she's a former of england. mp former bank of england. she's mp up in leeds. she's seen by a lot of the business community as a

safe pair of hands, somebody who's quite sensible . she's very who's quite sensible. she's very much from the sort of right of the labour party. she's talked a lot in her speech and with me about fiscal prudence looking after public finances. but she also talks a lot about how the tories had made a mess of the economy. what we're seeing now patrick, we're seeing the labour party starting to discipline itself . they've thrown out a lot itself. they've thrown out a lot of the sort of corbyn ministers . when you and i were at labour party conference, you'll notice there a more kind of there was a lot more kind of business like the quiet, but in a good so disciplined the a good way. so disciplined the party now sniff power . and party can now sniff power. and that's it is making this that's why it is making this approach to business. and i must say there pretty high say there was some pretty high rollers this business rollers at this business conference. that was the of conference. that was the boss of ihs b c the boss of aviva. ihs b c uk, the boss of aviva. these are major financial services companies. both of whom spoke the platform hsbc was spoke from the platform hsbc was sponsoring the speech. there'll be a lot of cynicism . labour be a lot of cynicism. labour they can't make the sums that they up spending too they always end up spending too much other people's. that's much of other people's. that's what conservatives will what a lot of conservatives will say. i've also a lot of

say. but i've also a lot of whatsapp messages . i was at this whatsapp messages. i was at this conference this morning from , conference this morning from, tory cabinet ministers saying, what did you think? i it what was it like. should we be. i read that interesting you actually just quickly you actually just quickly you actually quite like rachel which is most my take on was the numerous times we've spoken about it. yes i was told to talk about it. yes i was told to talk about it. yes i was told to talk about it is not my job to like or dislike politicians. my job to report what i say and then give a professional, to report what i say and then give a professional , hopefully give a professional, hopefully informed opinion . and i've heard informed opinion. and i've heard a lot of tories talk her down and say she hasn't got the charisma to be a top flight politician , so on. but i think politician, so on. but i think after the sort ups and downs we've had over recent years in the public finances and so on, a sort of lack of charisma may not be a bad thing in a in a potential shadow, in a potential chancellor of the exchequer. and i've always found her. i don't i'm not here to bigger up in any way. i'm here to report as an economist, i've always found it to be certainly well briefed and at one with the numbers and to

get a head around issues more than, say, other frontline politicians on the bench of all the main parties. so i think she is who is i mean, it's absolutely when keir starmer spoke, if starmer gets in government, he will be her chancellor. he mentioned many times in his speech. they seem to be working as one i don't detect any particularly rivalry between their camps this labour's top lack they're trying to themselves as grown up. the economy is safe with us they say . and that's why all of this conference, even though there weren't specific policies, they're very regimented and, disciplined. i do think quite a lot tories are noticing maybe we should be worried. yeah, there's something to worry about. lame you very much dave halligan as everybody on business as you just say oh just bring you back of say oh and you've got somebody like what roughly what what do you know roughly what time i'll be out you have to sit down. yeah. after 5:00 i'll be able bring you gb news able to bring you that gb news exclusive with. the exclusive interview with. the shadow first one shadow chancellor. our first one since began. oh

since the channel began. oh they've stuff, right? they've got good stuff, right? yes. regain the yes. liam halligan regain the bacon. again . right. so the bacon. yes, again. right. so the government has approved a controversial mine project in cumbria first new british cumbria the first new british mine in 30 years. so think fascinates me about this because a lot of people on the left originally like know originally were like you know pro weren't they, under pro miners weren't they, under the now seem to be the era? and now they seem to be against mines on against coal mines on environmental . but then get environmental. but then we get the levelling the secretary the levelling up. the secretary backlash environmental backlash from environmental campaigners after campaigners here they are after approving site but michael approving the site but michael gove says that it will create new jobs for community. gove says that it will create new jobs for community . the new jobs for the community. the mine directly create 532 mine will directly create 532 jobs which will make a substantial to local employment opportunities because these will be skilled and, well—paid jobs. the employment and the indirect employment that would follow will result in a significant contribution to the local and regional economy , with increased regional economy, with increased spending in local source facilities and services , and in facilities and services, and in addition the exportation of some of the coal to european markets would make a significant contribution to the uk balance of payments . right as well.

of payments. right as well. a green levelling agenda from the green levelling agenda from the green benches that in parliament. but gb news these national reports has been covering this story . national reports has been covering this story. us in cumbria likes live up in cumbria. very fond memories of place now he joins me now. ali a mixed reaction to this announcement, is that right? aps absolutely, patrick. this is an that has divided cumbria, the united kingdom and indeed the world. the past almost 24 hours that since a new coal mine has been approved in whitehaven , been approved in whitehaven, i've actually stood in front of the old hague pitch. now, this is old coal mine here , is old coal mine here, whitehaven, though, dotted all along the coastline here. it's now museum. but this is a site which is so familiar to so many people here, many of them employed in this pit behind . me employed in this pit behind. me for the majority of their life and speaking to them today they are absolutely delighted that mining is coming back to why

it's haven. this is a part of the country which has much lower employment than other areas of the country. and this new mine that's been announced last night will bring 500 new local jobs . will bring 500 new local jobs. and 1500 estimated jobs along supply chain. so that's really welcome for many miners . and one welcome for many miners. and one of them is david. he's a former miner . and i spoke to him about miner. and i spoke to him about his reaction to news a little bit earlier on. i must admit, was a tear in my eye. but then again would be that was the best job i've ever in my life. i worked there for 20 years and that i went away and forged a career with the royal mail where i for 27 years. but it wasn't the same there wasn't that camaraderie. there wasn't the closest association everybody the pit knew me and i knew everybody else, you know, it was that sort work, the coal that they when i left, i thought is finished. it was in decline . and finished. it was in decline. and eventually i seen the closure. the last mine and the closure of

alton carson. i thought that coal did until i learned now they said there's two types of coal. there's they said there's two types of coal . there's metallurgical coal coal. there's metallurgical coal and coal thermal , the demon and coal thermal, the demon seed. and nobody wants to talk about that but metallurgical is needed to create all those towers that they've got 200 feet of solid steel. and the only where they can get that at present is by coal and blast furnaces that are the methods in the pipeline . and i hope they the pipeline. and i hope they come and put us out of business. wouldn't children did they need coal. wouldn't children did they need coal . well, really popular with coal. well, really popular with the miners here and also really popular with the red war tory voters, people that voted for the conservatives for the first time in 2019. and speaking to people here today, they're this is the first time that they have seen levelling in action, seeing real investment in the north of england . they say it is so england. they say it is so needed, but not a popular decision . everyone, patrick,

more than a moment and you did not realise what were doing even when you were coming . abandon when you were coming. abandon the road when drivers on a narrow carriageway would naturally check that they were driving safely . it seems to me driving safely. it seems to me that your conduct, albeit careless , is rather than careless, is rather than deliberate , falls at the other deliberate, falls at the other extreme , taking everything into extreme, taking everything into your behaviour on this occasion was not far short of deliberately dangerous driving, which results a death . i bear in which results a death. i bear in mind that this was short period of driving and you were not familiar with english roads. the sentence in council guideline places the starting point for sentence for your offence at 15 months custody the range provides is nine months to three years custody . the death of years custody. the death of harry dunn is of course, the highest degree harm , but that is highest degree harm, but that is inherent in the charge and the

starting point of 15 months. there are none of the aggravating features may appear in some such cases . for example, in some such cases. for example, you are not driving uninsured . you are not driving uninsured. there is mitigation . your case there is mitigation. your case in particular, you are not compelled to submit yourself to this charge and these proceedings. but have chosen to do so . you had only experience do so. you had only experience of driving this country . you of driving this country. you offered assistance to. mr. dunn, at the scene . and you have never at the scene. and you have never personally denied responsibility for his . other features, such as for his. other features, such as the short time you drove before the short time you drove before the collision , also alleviate the collision, also alleviate the collision, also alleviate the gravity to a degree . you are the gravity to a degree. you are to be treated as of good character apart from two minor driving matters in 1997 and 2006, both of resulted in fines

. anyone has caused death by driving would be expected to feel remorseful but remorse important for sentencing purposes . and i accept that you purposes. and i accept that you felt and feel remorse . these felt and feel remorse. these features require a reduction in the point and i allow three months. you indicate that a guilty plea to this offence in the magistrates court and you entered your guilty plea at the first opportunity in the crown court. the law requires a one third discount to recognise this . the shortest term of imprisonment commensurate with the seriousness of the offence is therefore eight months imprisonment. it is therefore eight months imprisonment . it follows that imprisonment. it follows that the offence is so serious that , the offence is so serious that, neither a fine alone nor a community sentence can be justified for it . community sentence can be justified for it. imprisonment must always be the last resort .

must always be the last resort. your offence passes the custody threshold. as i have indicated . threshold. as i have indicated. but before deciding that no alternative is appropriate . have alternative is appropriate. have considered whether that be avoided. i ordered a pre—sentence report at the last hearing. you will have seen that report. the author has provided me with a great deal of useful information about you and she has consulted senior officers and officials at his majesty's prison and service . however, the prison and service. however, the concludes with no recommendation to the court and state that her inquiries not reveal any practical way in which a form , practical way in which a form, community sentence or any other non—custodial disposal imposed by this court could be managed in the united of america. it obvious that no enforcement can be carried out and breach of an order could be prosecuted effectively. while you remained abroad equally . i know

abroad equally. i know restorative justice. the process can take place except in person . i am grateful to the probation service for the inquiries they've made . council on. your they've made. council on. your behalf has submitted that sentence should be deferred. and that you would arrange to do some form of voluntary work in recompense . i do not consider recompense. i do not consider that there is any purpose in deferring sentence as the pre—sentence report clear. you are not someone who needs rehabilitation. you need to be sentenced . and then both you and sentenced. and then both you and the family of harry dunn can move. if i were to impose an immediate custodial sentence, then you would be unlawfully large thereafter and, i would order you to return to the united kingdom to serve it. the sentence will be put into effect if and when you enter the jurisdiction and surrender to a police station . before doing so police station. before doing so , i have considered whether it is possible , suspend the is possible, suspend the sentence . you have strong

sentence. you have strong personal mitigation have already summarised . you are also summarised. you are also a mother of young children who would suffer disproportionate harm from your immediate in meant. and i am satisfied that appropriate punishment can be achieved without custody . please achieved without custody. please stand up, mrs. sacoolas . are stand up, mrs. sacoolas. are disqualified from driving for 12 months for. the offence of causing the death of harry dunn by your careless driving. the sentence eight months imprisonment suspended for 12 months. there will be no additional requirements . the additional requirements. the sentence means that if in the next 12 months you commit offence, whether not it is of the same type for which i am sentencing you today, you would find yourself before the court again . and it is likely that the again. and it is likely that the will be brought into operation

either in full or part. thank you very much. you may sit . down you very much. you may sit. down okay . all right. yes. okay well, okay. all right. yes. okay well, you were watching and listening to the sentencing of sacoolas there at the old just to summarise very briefly, she's now disqualified. it's obviously, in relation to the death, the tragic of harry dunn outside croughton in northampton sharp disqualified , driving from sharp disqualified, driving from 12 months and received an eight month custodial sentence for 12 months. of course, she remains in the united states. so essentially largely unenforceable . you are with me, unenforceable. you are with me, patrick christys, right here on gb news. as we were just hearing there, that sentencing, anne sacoolas, the american woman, pleaded killing harry pleaded guilty to killing harry dunn now it is dunn with driving. but now it is time for a quick.

i'm picking through it with a whole host royal etc. but whole host of royal etc. but yes. back to our breaking news now and foremost, yes. back to our breaking news now stuck and foremost, yes. back to our breaking news now stuck into and foremost, yes. back to our breaking news now stuck into harry)remost, yes. back to our breaking news now stuck into harry and ost, we get stuck into harry and meghan so proper news really i'm sacoolas, course has just sacoolas, of course has just been sentenced. is us been sentenced. this is the us citizen who's been sentenced after causing the after admitting to causing the death old harry dunn death of. 19 year old harry dunn due to careless driving and. that was in august 20, 19. she has declined to attend court in person and was, it must be said on the advice the us government the nature of her employment has more than a lot to do with it. japanese reporter alice porter with me now live from outside the old bailey. alice, thank you very much and a lot of our viewers that will have listened and watched exactly what happenedin and watched exactly what happened in terms of the judge's sentencing, i sentencing, the summing up, i suppose. you were there suppose. but you were there really for all of it, just bring us up speed, please . hi us up to speed, please. hi there. yes, we heard some victim impact statement from harry dunn's mother who documented really the emotional impact on the family of her son's death . the family of her son's death. and she said that she has is on

antidepressant and that harry dunn's twin has been at times suicidal . and it was incredibly suicidal. and it was incredibly emotional in court. but actually and sacoolas herself appeared via video link and was herself actually crying on the video link from washington dc . but the link from washington dc. but the judge, when she was summing up in her comments , criticised anne in her comments, criticised anne sacoolas for not attending in person, which was very much the hope of harry dunn's . but as you hope of harry dunn's. but as you were just saying, there , that were just saying, there, that was advice on the us government that she shouldn't be attending person. the judge presiding over this mrs. justice grubb has given sentence of eight months imprisonment which is suspended for 12 months and said she is disqualified from driving for 12 months. but all of this is completely unenforced , all completely unenforced, all because she is in the us and there is of course the jurisdiction and here in the uk does not extend that if she was to come here to uk and hand

herself in. those were the remarks from the judge . then remarks from the judge. then some sort of sentencing could begin. that's obviously not going to happen. and us going to happen. and the us government has advised her to not here. in all not come here. in all likelihood, she never come likelihood, she never will come here. ways i think here. so in some ways i think it's a suppose a loss for the parents. ways they were parents. some ways they were very hoping there might be very much hoping there might be at sort of community at least some sort of community service and that the service order and that was the understanding that initially she was by by causing was a charge by cps by causing death , by dangerous driving. she death, by dangerous driving. she pleaded guilty . so much lesser pleaded guilty. so much lesser charge death by careless charge of death by careless driving . now, the prosecution driving. now, the prosecution will very much hoping that she would get said what she had done was sort of one or fell one short of death by dangerous driving were hoping for a more significant sentence particularly in terms of having some sort of community based service which she had said that she was hoping to do. but the judge presiding over this did take into account a number of mitigating factors such the fact that anne sacoolas she wasn't at the time of the offence it was a genuine mistake that she went onto the wrong side of the road.

of course, being an american, she drove onto the wrong side . she drove onto the wrong side. it was a total accident. she has admitted her guilt throughout the whole process of the aspects from the government were not in her control . of course she had her control. of course she had no control over . the us refusing no control over. the us refusing the extradition request from the home office and she said because those mitigating factors and because of the fact that she has three children and, that those three children and, that those three children and, that those three children need her support. so that was why gave the sentence which is i think in many ways just sort of symbolic and praised the persistence harry dunn's parents that come persistence to try and get justice for their son who died more than three years ago. so this has been very much a long time coming by. the parents who who the mother of harry dunn , who the mother of harry dunn, charlotte charles had said that very much on harry dunn's death bed.she very much on harry dunn's death bed. she had said made a promise to him that she would fight for justice. so i think at least today we get some sense of resolution for the family. but i think will be

think there will be disappointment any sort disappointment that any sort this of sentence that's this sort of sentence that's been imposed, this course is not legally binding. think legally binding. and i think they'll disappoint from the they'll be a disappoint from the family some respects that she family in some respects that she won't be actually really serving any time in either in prison which we know wasn't really expecting but neither in the community either. look, thank you very, very much, alice paul porter, who is joining us from outside the old bailey. after the sentencing of sacoolas, who we all know sadly killed harry dunn outside the raaf base there are lots reaction flooding in as are lots reaction flooding in as a result of this and a lot of people getting into it's quite angry really i suppose what about the situation as a whole but also really about the show of justice but without any real on the nature of this job which is well essentially secret service type stuff over in the us means realistically she's not actually going to face kind of prison time over here. just to sum up as she does qualify, driving in 12 months, eight months custody or sentence here in the uk, which is obviously

not going to serve suspended for 12 months, it's important to stress was under stress that she was under the advice of the government definitely not actually definitely not to actually return united kingdom, return to the united kingdom, supposedly a lot of supposedly did show a lot of remorse, you and remorse, but a lot of you and i won't read out all the comments because it's a bit morbid, let's because it's a bit morbid, let's be but a are you be honest, but a lot are you getting in touch to just to express your condolences to harry his mum harry dunn's family? his mum there in court said harry dunn's family? his mum thereshe in court said harry dunn's family? his mum thereshe charlotte] court said harry dunn's family? his mum thereshe charlotte charlesaid harry dunn's family? his mum thereshe charlotte charles toi that she charlotte charles to say was deeply say that she was deeply, deeply upset. on various upset. she's on various different types of medication. it this is according to it were this is according to what said that as a result what she said that as a result of as one would imagine, of this, as one would imagine, that's it? that's only natural, isn't it? and harry's brother, niall, and harry's twin brother, niall, apparently close apparently feeling close to suicide victim suicide least was in the victim statements out statements that were read out there. and nothing really there. and so nothing really will, course, bring proper will, of course, bring proper for family. but that is the for that family. but that is the latest disqualified latest nonetheless disqualified 12 months driving an eight month prison sentence suspended for 12 months for and let's look you all with me patrick christys on gb move away from gb news. we're to move away from that we come back and going that when we come back and going to be returning to all of the reaction harry's reaction to meghan and harry's new all make sure new netflix tell all make sure you stay for all of that you stay with me for all of that

. two men were arrested last

set up almost as a harry and meghan propaganda vehicle at the same time he has been a troll about the appearance of william and kate. so why on earth should we listen to what he has said? yes, he's been vile about me making all sorts of accusations that he's secretly discovered that he's secretly discovered that i've got okay. now a little bit of a change of speech. today is the day been we've been graced with the release of the first three episodes of harry and meghan's docu series where any us expecting this when they said they stepping down as senior royals for more they protected

that privacy by going about as pubuc that privacy by going about as public especially possible. there's to the there's no end to the revelations the sussexes best bndge revelations the sussexes best bridge efforts to date. bridge burning efforts to date. they supposedly tell about harry's childhood despite fact, of course, that we did kind of live it with him meghan's race which is relatively straightforward their love story and their frustration with the media. i have managed avoid this like the plague for the vast majority of the time i've certainly not watched of the episodes so far, but i am, along with the rest of you who've also managed to avoid it, now going to treated to a little to be treated to a little snippet of so just snippet of it. so let's just this over with . paparazzi used this over with. paparazzi used to harass us to the point of where we to be forced into smiling and answering questions to the travelling pack on this kind of place . yes, it's one i kind of place. yes, it's one i got on and then it flew into her car and that made me feel uncomfortable from the get go . uncomfortable from the get go. then you became about hello because i'm getting it. where are you? because we write. you

do . then can we do something? do. then can we do something? and then not deal was we put our skis on and then leave us alone. well yeah, some of them would . well yeah, some of them would. but then the other ones were just follow us around taking photographs or waiting for the accident to happen. and then put out their cameras. so it was neverit out their cameras. so it was never it never works . yeah. no, never it never works. yeah. no, i mean, to be fair it does look absolutely abysmal, doesn't have that luxury ski resort that's crossed now to isle royale reports a couple walker who is watching it for us all morning from the gb news is reaction room coming you know acutely aware that you're now in front of a camera. and i just wanted make sure before we start is that you . that's absolutely that with you. that's absolutely fine patrick. yes, that is my job. that's i paid to do. and arguably the royal family are paid to do what they as well as being working members of the royal family. but of course, that clip which prince harry was

referring there was on a luxury break with his mother, princess diana. but since then it's been 25 years, since diana's tragic death , the rules around media death, the rules around media intrusion , in particular intrusion, in particular paparazzi has changed . and paparazzi has changed. and prince harry alludes to the fact that meghan effectively had the same kind of treatments of the press as princess diana's. it's 25 years ago. well, i'm joined now by former royal correspondent nicholas owen, who was covering around that time in the nineties. once you if you don't mind me saying no, that's fine yes. and the rules have changed since that day. yes, the rules change. i think rules did change. i think everybody realised we everybody realised that we couldn't were . if we couldn't go as we were. if we think about particularly the death of princess diana 25 years ago , it was basically caused by ago, it was basically caused by ago, it was basically caused by a paparazzi chasing a car in which diana was travelling a car , of course, by a drunken driver , of course, by a drunken driver , we all know now. but the fact that he was putting his foot down with them, the in his rear—view mirror, that that

really led to her death and everybody realised that had to stop. but i think we're getting a bit this word media is being thrown around word paparazzi thrown around the word paparazzi and we to separate out who is doing and how the royal family are covered i think really what is bugging that's the right word harry and meghan is the behaviour of the tabloid newspapers really , although we newspapers really, although we see clips of them with cameras in the background and people jostling and so on, not nearly as much of that as they used to be. and there was an actual official agreement that there would be less of it . so official agreement that there would be less of it. so and that really has held always going to be a few paparazzi photographers around. you know, that is the nature , life and much you nature, life and not much you can about that is the tabloid can do about that is the tabloid newspapers. and i, i think that is really where harry if he's got a complaint that , is where got a complaint that, is where he seems to be aiming his fire. and it seems to me watching this stuff today. so much of it is rather fuzzy about. what exactly the references are about? what

exactly are we supposed draw? what sort of lessons, what is harry aiming his darts at. and one thing i would say, i want to be clear about this talking about the media and racism in, the same language. i just do not see that i do not understand how they can possibly be the case when harry and meghan got together, it was a two rift lovely fairytale story and the tabloid covered it accordingly . tabloid covered it accordingly. this idea that at some they suddenly turned on her whatever reason racism and that's a real total puzzle to me i have to say. yeah well, prince harry and meghan go on to talk about being parents themselves, bringing archie and little bit to and prince harry talks about not making the same mistakes as perhaps his father and mother did as prince sees it. so let's just have a little look at what prince harry said . equally, prince harry said. equally, what's important for the what's most important for the two of us is to make sure that we don't repeat the same, that perhaps our parents made made . i

perhaps our parents made made. i think most kids, through all the products of divorced parents have a lot in . common nicholas have a lot in. common nicholas divorced parents have a lot in common quite from prince harry the not making the same mistakes that his parents did. is that a bit of a dig at our new king? well, i suppose one could see it that way. let's be honest. three out of four of the queen's children got divorced . there's children got divorced. there's so much of it about society generally. actually rates are beginning to go down quite significantly and but for him to, aim at his father , which is to, aim at his father, which is what he's really doing here. is it seems to me to be pretty unfair. i mean, i can't put it any any clearer than that is he is he every generation wants to not make the mistakes of the previous . there's some wonderful previous. there's some wonderful stuff over the years about the way you know parents do the best

they can . then they make they can. then they make mistakes . and then you say, oh , mistakes. and then you say, oh, okay. all right, look , are just okay. all right, look, are just we are just coasting . not sure. we are just coasting. not sure. because as i understand anyway, the family of harry dunn have now from the old bailey outside the old bailey. so we are going to switch over the old bailey. now, what we can hear from the family, harry dunn, i believe . family, harry dunn, i believe. well, before we take questions , well, before we take questions, look , our real enemy here is not look, our real enemy here is not necessarily this. we know she made a mistake that night. and i daresay all of us and everybody watching at home has made mistakes on, the road. but we know she didn't to kill harry are real enemy. here is the us government who after harry's death instead coming to do the right thing for this family, decided to kick them in the stomach and continue to kick them in the stomach for three years. and if it weren't for their friends , their community , their friends, their community, you guys in the media and the great british and american

pubuc great british and american public and millions of people around the world helping us, they would have got away with it . well, they didn't get away with it today. we all heard the judge's criticisms of the government, cowardly government, the cowardly approach to, ensuring that justice is done here, i think is i think is and i don't understand why the americans would behave this way, but as i said will come to tell you we finished this part of the campaign today. but are absolutely determined to make sure this never to another british family again. sure this never to another british family again . thank you, british family again. thank you, isaac to thank you for being here. i am , i grew up with harry here. i am, i grew up with harry and now for you nursery, secondary and primary school. harry was a great person. he was very caring and was taken too soon. driving perfectly safely on the right of the road , the on the right of the road, the way the us government is treated with this family with utter disdain . all the family wanted disdain. all the family wanted to do and all charlotte was in

was to get an apology and a mere explanation as to what happened. she never wanted to take her own sacoolas away from her kids and a message to the us government from the younger generation is you are not our friend . this is you are not our friend. this is not how allies treat one another. this has turned into a massive international dispute . massive international dispute. but we've i've spent time with the family every day and what they have to go through on a daily basis, awful and unacceptable . but this is not an unacceptable. but this is not an isolated the us government are treating many families like this around the world as much. they try and hide it and i would just encourage you to watch this space is me and my team will on exposing them and fighting on every corner and thank you very much. yeah that was a right we're happy to take as many questions for the parents as you like. we've got a bit of time. so lisa , you wanna go first?

so lisa, you wanna go first? these guys, he's going to step forward to the podium, face sky news. yeah how are you feeling ? news. yeah how are you feeling? job done, promised. complete properly. properly complete. now you know, and looks at the criminal record for the rest of their life. that was that. you know, they never she never thought she'd say the us government never thought that they'd say and we've worked tirelessly and relentless to make sure that she in the end still have to do what you and i would have had to have done. so yeah harry we do that and we get , we get. are you happy the sentence . we would have been sentence. we would have been happy with anything we've been invested in in the judge was going to hand down for us it was just all about doing that. they're doing the right getting through the uk justice system and done. yeah sacoolas says she's had make do with that would help how do you feel about that? too much too little too

late, i think. isn't it just that now? yeah should say, yeah, you have a chance to do right thing you do it the beginning, you don't wait wait for three years and put families through torture and then try to do the right thing when it's going to make. you look good. it's up to them. but if not, you know, i've reached out an olive branch to them many, many times and never been accepted and. you know, look , i it's up to the parents look, i it's up to the parents but my advice to them as we move forward now, she will have live with what she's done and the way that they treated this family for the rest of their lives. we have to live without harry but our conscience is clear and yeah yeah yeah. can you reflect charlotte what you told the court and your victim impact statement what this just to the really helps lisa um . focus you

really helps lisa um. focus you know everything i said in the statement if you're 100% true you know and some you know you could never put into words how bad things are and that you have to keep you can't give up . you to keep you can't give up. you know, we have to show nigel and the other children that actually , you know, what's we can live our lives somehow. we're still we've got to try and figure out how we do that. you know, we've all got therapy and everything in place and we all hoping that with with an awful lot of help around us, including our family and friends , that we'll get and friends, that we'll get better . we'll do it, you know, better. we'll do it, you know, and our family friends have been extremely affected as well. you know , are quite a few family know, are quite a few family members and friends who are particularly after having watched everything in the last three years on the bit, you know

, it's devastated many lives, not just not just the parents and the siblings. so it was hell raising it absolute . i knew raising it absolute. i knew i wasn't going to be able to do it without breaking that. it had to be done . can you tell us be done. can you tell us thoughts? how do you feel , thoughts? how do you feel, thoughts? how do you feel, though ? okay. all right. well, though? okay. all right. well, look , was anyway the reaction look, was anyway the reaction from dunn's family. we had the spokesperson for the family, we had one of harry dunn's friends andindeed had one of harry dunn's friends and indeed his twin brothers. now friends that. and, of course, i think of the most emotively and certainly most importantly mother giving importantly, his mother giving her emotional about the impact, not for just and the her emotional about the impact, not forjust and the immediate not for just and the immediate family, but the wonderful milly that all of this has taken. it's been three years of how she sat and the knock on effect that it's hard it's just whether it's to do with mental health to do with the mental health that they're now all suffering or it's just the general level

of grief. well, we've been covering trial a very, covering that trial for a very, very time. if you all very long time. and if you all just us, it is because the sentencing just dropped. sentencing has just dropped. that old bailey that was at the old bailey earlier sacoolas, earlier and sacoolas, who is responsible causing he responsible for causing how he does death through dangerous driving, disqualified, 12 months, prison months, eight months, a prison sentence is eight months, but suspended months. suspended for 12 months. clearly, are massive clearly, there are massive issues it comes issues play that when it comes to nature of job in the to the nature of her job in the united working in secret united states working in secret service she was service over that she was essentially banned by her bosses coming although she did of coming back although she did of course expressed . course, as we heard expressed. with me now to reflect that sentencing is malcolm fowler, criminal solicitor advocate and legal commentator . thank you legal commentator. thank you very much. look, i'm going to reflect views what's going reflect views of what's going going my inbox here in going on in my inbox here in front of me, which is a lot of people say this is kind of sham justice. they think this justice. they really think this is right i'm very towards is right look, i'm very towards that. course, is a very that. of course, it is a very complex case. i'm hoping you might able to illustrate, might be able to illustrate, because she because realistically, she wasn't going get extra wasn't going to get extra dollars the sacoolas . dollars as the uk was sacoolas. well, no, absolutely not. however limited our time and thank you for asking me . i must

thank you for asking me. i must say that join in with the sympathy and the admiration for the family and in particular the mother . the family and in particular the mother. because as a result of her perseverance, first of all, a type justice has been meted out and in and in 2020, the loophole that led to her being allowed to the uk in the first place was in fact sealed and that would not have happened candidly unless she been so persistent . so let's say that persistent. so let's say that first of all, the you're right in when you speak of the government's part in all for advice not to come to the uk read all and let's not beat about the bush. that's the

reality here now for the type of offence that she had committed she was arguably on the brink of an immediate prison sentence now that they suspect of that sentence by the judge and indeed they they the generosity shown recognising that she behaved correctly from the very first step in terms of stop fing being distressed and showing remorse all of that counts. and she pleaded guilty at the first opportunity available to her to the less serious charge serious though it still but that might very often have been coupled with some sort of restorative justice when for example she might have been required to do unpaid work for the community,

but for glaringly obvious reasons , and this is the reasons, and this is the frustration for family and indeed the community at large. if may broaden it out , the they if may broaden it out, the they they frustration here is that it would have been unfair possible for her to have been to any such sentence that might be added to or suspended sentence of imprisonment. now course the frustrations further is that this this suspend sentence of imprisonment should she re—offend would . not in fact re—offend would. not in fact apply re—offend would. not in fact apply the normal consequence of apply the normal consequence of a suspended sentence , a further a suspended sentence, a further offence could not follow . offence could not follow. however, what judge said and here surely this is good law and

common sense was in effect that could not be in the interests of any community, and certainly not in the interests of just for her and schools as also to be if not destroyed, then damaged. in addition , what's happened to the addition, what's happened to the sacoolas family? forget they don't look, malcolm. thank you very, very much for that. malcolm thought of that. criminal solicitor advocates and legal commentators just reacting to that breaking that you to that breaking news that you saw screen is just not going saw on screen is just not going to go, which is and sacoolas who of course responsible for the of course is responsible for the death dunn outside death of harry dunn outside raf raaf hampshire raaf base new hampshire disqualified 12 disqualified driving for 12 months the months eight months. the presence of spending for 12 months. heard that from harry months. we heard that from harry dunn's as dunn's family didn't weigh as well but they do as well clearly but they do feel as though they've some though at least they've some form even though form of justice even though that's quite it makes a that's not quite how it makes a lot feel, of course, and lot of you feel, of course, and sacoolas will not be extradited to the united kingdom to actually any of that

actually serve any of that prison of prison sentence regardless of whether suspended whether or not it's suspended anyway patrick anyway you would be patrick christys news coming up, christys on gb news coming up, we're talking about the government's speed government's plans to speed of the processing of asylum applications. will it help actually tackle channel actually tackle the channel migrant crisis? will it help relieve the backlog take the relieve the backlog it take the heat off margaret hotels or actually will it just mean more people? here. but first, people? come here. but first, now it's

night and they're currently in custody. we'll bring you much more on that as we get it. for now, that's tv online and tv plus radio. this is gb news. now it's back to dan wootton tonight .

okay people, welcome back. is patrick christys here on gb news? now the government has it is investing news? now the government has it is investin g £5 million to is investing £5 million to speeding of the immigration heanng speeding of the immigration hearing process. all the hearing process. given all the amounts that we're amounts of money that we're spending single on spending every single day on these doesn't these migrant hotels, it doesn't sound a lot of money. sound to me like a lot of money. but anyway, the influx of money hoped to improve processing times increasing times by, increasing the hearing capacity cases up to 9000 capacity of cases to up to 9000 and more the end of march next yeah and more the end of march next year. so supposedly 9000 more cases and we're already at the minute by the end of march next year on the cost of that

allegedly anyway is 5 million big immigrant minister big ones immigrant minister robert has emphasised robert jenrick has emphasised importance of additional importance of this additional money in speeding the removal money in speeding up the removal of those who have no right be in the uk and in strengthening of those with a need for help. so mean doing what it says on the tin essentially. which just up the whole process one way or the other. the way in on the way out. craig mckinley conservative, mp for south thanet joins me craig you thanet joins me now. craig you very to have you on very much. great to have you on the show. some now might the show. some right now might be at screens be looking at tv screens thinking billion is thinking 5 billion quid is nothing. we spend 7 million quid a on hotels for people a day on hotels for people anyway. and acceptance anyway. and given our acceptance rate so presumably just rate so far presumably just money more we money to accept more than we already mean, any already are. well, i mean, any new money to try and speed up the system has be good news. the system has to be good news. but you're quite right with the institute of government. put out some figures , june, there some figures, june, that there are 127,000 cases of outstanding at the moment. obviously, some them may be just to assess by home office staff , but because home office staff, but because we've got quite unique system of

law, fair and legal aid, very many of those take the option to go to . the tribunal, the go to. the tribunal, the immigration tribunal, which in a mire information that i've received over the last months, is that it has not been working at full capacity for quite time. so, yes, at full capacity for quite time. so, yes , £5 million, not an so, yes, £5 million, not an awful lot of money. i thought you'd probably need 50 million to actually through that backlog. but yeah, it's welcome step in the right direction . but step in the right direction. but we're still left with what is going to be the result of these immigration tribunal when the uk court uniquely seems accept 76% of all asylum applications . of all asylum applications. well, whereby the eu is just 14% and spain is just absolutely quite a real peculiarity this system. yeah. look, there's a lot to stuck into here about this because we it would appear anyway have a relatively open policy when it comes to afghanistan and eritrea. now, yes there are certainly when it comes to afghanistan and various

people who will say, well , have people who will say, well, have a complete duty, but i would argue all of the security aspects of that being adhered all the time. we are hearing that essentially fast—track security, that idea really want to play fast and loose with security when. it comes to that part of the world. don't know part of the world. i don't know about. you've hit the nail about. but you've hit the nail on the head. okay so 5 million quid to help facilitate speedy heanng hearing of thousand claims. well, have around well, firstly, we have around 127,000 is a backlog, according to you that it also this money doesn't seem to do anything to deter coming here and it deter people coming here and it doesn't anything actually doesn't do anything to actually so what we do when we inevitably allow to so 5 billion allow them to stay. so 5 billion quid the drain, some quid down the drain, some argue the of loads more. i don't the cost of loads more. i don't think it's i don't think it's money down the drain. but i think we have got some unique problems that we need to solve ourselves. i would say i often france because these people have launched their beaches and launched from their beaches and i find it just beyond belief that the advanced with us offering as much help as they need cannot control plus or

minus five miles from calais. but that's another argument. but, you know, we have uniquely caused ourselves from difficulties , those very, very difficulties, those very, very long delays , processing up for long delays, processing up for 100 days. it seems a far more likely . yes. at the end of the likely. yes. at the end of the process than other european countries , though we're all countries, though we're all based on the same united nations convention on refugees 1951, and all countries are signed up to the ecj job. so that's rather bizarre. now you know, what is the low hanging fruit? i'd like us to try and pick first and then just go to the albanian issue, you know . i've said it issue, you know. i've said it repeatedly that in germany and sweden, accept a zero applicants from , albanian applicants for from, albanian applicants for asylum. we obviously ourselves a complication with the 2015 modern slavery act. but i watched with great interest the albanian ambassador at, the select committee who was what we all know that there is a perfectly safe country and the european countries and nato's

signed up to the ecj jaw how on earth we're going ourselves into a situation here we accept 55% of albanian applicants passes the rule, making it it is. i mean we can talk about the albanian issue all day just just to wrap up craig when it comes to wrap up craig when it comes to of the points you've raised there about. yes amount of albanian people that we seem to be accepting and how tolerant we are of that. plus number of people, the percent of approvals that we have for asylum in this country relative to our european friends, why is it that the conservative party isn't standing up and making of a deal out of this because surely that's a way to actually get around all this. they can say, well, look, hang on a minute. we are really seriously doing our bit, but they don't seem willing to. well i mean, this is an overlay of some complicated as you know, we've got the eu un convention, got the oddity convention, we've got the oddity , media line in the channel. , the media line in the channel. i mean, there are no other borders are really like that. you've at sea, you've

you've got safety at sea, you've got hangover of the dublin got the hangover of the dublin conventions the complete conventions and the complete failure of frontex in the eu and the free movement help this ehhen the free movement help this either. but yes, you're absolutely right. there's is the type things that i do speak with minister jenrick and well of the home secretary regular basis to say how is it got such a disconnect in this is this this the thing. yeah it would to me we need to get the spanish over here because only approve 11. well but that's look great. thank you very, very much . thank you very, very much. that's quite mckinlay that conservative mp for south and i would say that actually this is one the good things brexit one of the good things of brexit because hear out on this, because hear me out on this, hear out on this because now hear me out on this because now there to hide behind. there is nothing to hide behind. i thought craig mcnally was going veer off in that going to veer off in that direction way he direction slightly in a way he did slamming him or anything did not slamming him or anything like all. the like that at all. but the schengen frontex, etc. schengen area, frontex, etc. yeah. okay fine. yeah. all right. okay fine. but once have for once people have voted for brexit exposes national brexit exposes your own national government what own government what their own interests are of what they're actually and as it actually doing. and as it currently own government currently our own government is not, view , really doing

not, in my view, really doing anything , not, in my view, really doing anything, certainly anything of significance clamp down on the number of illegal immigrants that having to cut down that we're having to cut down on. number migration on. the number of net migration has the number of people has come, the number of people crossing and crossing the channel and it's very difficult it can be very difficult now as it can be increasingly difficult for them to stop pointing the finger at. other you can other people, yeah, you can point french of day long point out the french of day long but there's got to but realistically there's got to be within. be some drawing from within. it doesn't be much of doesn't appear to be much of one. now we're out the one. and now we're out the european union. to start european union. we have to start looking ourselves, the looking at ourselves, the mirror, bit more than we mirror, a bit more than we anyway. maybe the of all stuff at uk airports the latest to at uk airports are the latest to announce to announce their intention to strike over the christmas period. lazy joke to be period. an easy lazy joke to be made border force made here about how border force have pleased the channel. have not pleased in the channel. but will not it? i'm but of course i will not it? i'm better than that. pcc union better than that. the pcc union announced the action in a dispute over and conditions dispute over pay and conditions with the action affecting passport checks at multiple uk airports. 2 to employees airports. 2 to 3000 employees are expected to part. with me now is charlie ray, former industrial editor of sun. charles, you very much. charles, thank you very much. great the show. great to have you on the show. right so beautiful stuff at airports causing christmas chaos. other chaos . chaos. top of the other chaos. you. i hope you mind me saying i

will remember. the last time we had a general strike. how does this compare? how how does this compare to your previous experience? i didn't say prehistoric as a previous experience. when it comes to a general strike policy, how do you think am the last general strike when trent franks , 1926 strike when trent franks, 1926 was not the last time we came to, that was a freudian slip that i apologise. you know, at the house. all right. but does anything equal a strike is that you see what we have got is going after coordinated action by various unions got air strikes every day december now we've got the border staff , the we've got the border staff, the uk border staff of cole the strike it's going to screw up christmas and it's been a screw up new year because of the covid. those days. now we have the limited situation. we we've got soldiers on standby who have

had between three and five days training compared to five weeks training compared to five weeks training for border staff who are going to man the airports and so forth. they're already on to dry fire engines and ambulances. we have many soldiers . and we in this soldiers. and we in this country, they keep cutting back. it is getting ready for me. the irony me in all of this, charles, is actually that the border force stuff going on strikes makes it easy of a people to enter the country illegally over the channel and much more difficult for people like, you and me, to get out of the country is absolutely, absolutely correct and of because got remember because we've got to remember the we all had at the the problems we all had at the pandemic when it was being closed down planes wouldn't fly but we're going to have a dozens and dozens of flights cancelled . and these people people passenger says this is what they've got to look forward to. it's going to be absolute chaos . it goes ahead. yeah some would say, well, it's good news that

business economy in a sense that local cafes, bars might be busy as opposed to people tumbling out of them in the costa sol. but actually is that something slightly self—defeating, charles, because if charles, about this? because if you damaging the economy , you are damaging the economy, the something like a the extent that something like a general will do, general in name only will do, i mean, the rails strikes alone, supposedly costing us 30 million quid day. then are already quid a day. then are already skin the cost living skin doing the cost of living crisis. well one of the things we're all getting the money from in actually be able pay in to actually be able to pay for whopping pay rises for the whopping great pay rises is lot of these different is a lot of these different groups is this is groups one well this is this is the big problem and the government a huge government is with a huge problem because it gives in to say the nurses who are demanding between 17 and 20% and then everyone else going to say, well, i know in a minute, you know, we've got case to have know, we've got a case to have the . so we haven't got the money. so we haven't got enough money to pay all of these demands. i the border staff are after 10% pay rise pensions , job after 10% pay rise pensions, job security and no cuts , redundancy security and no cuts, redundancy terms . i security and no cuts, redundancy terms. i think that's a that's a that's a hell of a negotiating stance . well, indeed. right

stance. well, indeed. right charles, thank you very, very much. charles who is , course, a much. charles who is, course, a former industrial of the sun. last moving on from that, because you with me perhaps on gb news and coming up we've liam halligan i exclu. your interview with labour's shadow chancellor rachel reeves. you do not to miss that before the record breaking . miss that before the record now with harry, pushes about the way well , she goes first and way well, she goes first and i thought to myself this is very strange for someone who is not married, doesn't know anything about how the royal family works. oh my goodness . and works. oh my goodness. and that's what i felt ever. so you thought the signs were there? yes, but the key thing is you

were prepared to give a chance. yes. and your journalism, your reporting changed as you learned the way that meghan was behaving. you learned the way that she was treating staff members. yes. i mean , it's members. yes. i mean, it's inevitable, really, because i spent a lot of my career interview people having so you would say, good insight . right. would say, good insight. right. and if you watch and if you're there and you see you come to

before we do that. yes. again, i want to emphasise have actually not bothered myself to watch any of this. i did realise i was going be well, essentially strapped to this chair and made towards campfires all day. towards campfires of it all day. so i'd just to it so thought i'd just react to it live everybody else. let's live with everybody else. let's have . when my mum died we had have it. when my mum died we had two hats to wear. have it. when my mum died we had two hats to wear . one have it. when my mum died we had two hats to wear. one was to grieving sons , wanting to cry , grieving sons, wanting to cry, grieve and process that grief because of losing our mum . and because of losing our mum. and two was the raw heart showed no emotion. get out there, meet the people, shake hands. i think that undoubtedly is the elements of prince harry's life, isn't it, that we all must have a huge amount of sympathy for? and i think there's been a shift there's been a shift in the way that life was conducted. and there a shift in the there has been a shift in the way media has been able way that the media has been able to frankly, a very very to act, frankly, for a very very long time now. and that i think we, can all agree, must have been incredibly difficult. obviously death obviously just the death of his mum, the reaction to walk

mum, but the reaction to walk behind at being so behind a coffin at and being so glad public i in glad of the public i in the press is i that time in his life unquestionably what's unquestionably but then what's happened frankly happened since i think frankly what's happening as he's an aduh what's happening as he's an adult is arguably indefensible. ihave have adult is arguably indefensible. i have have shown another i have i have been shown another clip which might play later by meghan a prolonged, meghan doing a prolonged, very dramatic curtsy and mocking the way she met the queen for the first time. and prince harry is just sitting there, frankly, looking like a bit of a lie. well, what do now? and you well, what do i do now? and you think don't he was all think i don't how he was all this netflix money worth it anyway? royal expert journalist and broadcaster joins and broadcaster jenny bone joins me thank you very me now. jenny, thank you very much. rooms since much. you've moved rooms since the i saw you. another the last time i saw you. another fan room. and i can fantastic room. and what i can only is a house that only imagine is a house that you've got for widow jenny. yeah. so late. talk take yeah. so you're late. talk take on this harry stuff. on this. this harry and stuff. the sympathy of course, the sympathy there, of course, over mother's death. over his mother's death. undeniably but what's happening now know now is an adult. he should know better well it was all better now. well it was all rather underwhelming, actually he the episodes i've watched already do not really live up to the trailers, which were full of

explosive suggestions . this what explosive suggestions. this what we see is really story of love . we see is really story of love. great love for his wife and it's a quite charming and lovely if you want to see that of hate, he says. the level of hate directed his wife and his son was extraordinary . now there was extraordinary. now there was very evidence to back that up. certainly nothing we've seen so far about hatred against his son and race because he said from the start, he felt that root of the start, he felt that root of the problem was her race, that she wasn't given the protection, that she needed because of her race. he felt that she should have extra protection . so it's a have extra protection. so it's a very dramatic story in many ways . i don't think it's landed as many blow on the royal family as we were led to. believe it would. but what's to come ? so am would. but what's to come? so am i right in saying this three episodes that it drops in there are another three coming, is that right? yes. oh yes , it's

that right? yes. oh yes, it's quite a long watch really. i don't think we need 6 hours of this unless you are totally invested in the story of harry and meghan. it exposes a lot of people are they are genuinely interested to hear from the interested to hear it from the horse's mouths. right. you know six crucially crucially jenny it stands and people like you who have of diligently soldiered through 3 hours of this tot have so far come to the conclusion that there's nothing particularly damaging to the royal family in it and of some of allegations that are being alluded to it's based less like the racism stuff so far . so in the racism stuff so far. so in the racism stuff so far. so in the next 3 hours they've got a plan to blow. otherwise frankly, they lose on points down that. yeah.i they lose on points down that. yeah. i mean, i don't it's baseless. it's certainly very fuzzy , of all sorts of fuzzy, sort of all sorts of generalisations. and i don't we've learned a lot new except they felt well, actually it's not new at all. they were very unhappyin not new at all. they were very unhappy in royal life that is a great love story. oh they met through instagram we didn't know that he was scrolling through

and rather like what saw that's new and the other new story for was that when he dressed up as a as a to a fancy dress party he found that now have been one of the biggest mistakes of his life . he subsequently went to mass , . he subsequently went to mass, this survivor of the holocaust . this survivor of the holocaust. we didn't know that . well, i've we didn't know that. well, i've got a lot of sympathy with him on his allegations about unconscious in the society in general . i think they have got general. i think they have got a message that we all need to listen to perhaps on that. yeah, but there are a few things. well, i mean, there's a lot that i mean, the idea that we had go and make a holocaust as a result to recognise that perhaps wearing a uniform , not a great wearing a uniform, not a great idea.theidea wearing a uniform, not a great idea. the idea that they met on instagram as well because. we were initially told that it was a blind date. i'm is there another little little whiff of a lie in there? i don't know. but interesting on his own just by things. only know this from things. i only know this from watching played watching a clip we played earlier keen to get your

earlier on and keen to get your views on this my interpretation. what started by what he said is he started by saying no one's at fault for unconscious bias. so he's essentially his family essentially absolving his family there kind blame, there of any kind of blame, although set out although i don't set out racists, they realise racists, they just don't realise what and then he goes, what they do. and then he goes, but it's pointed out , you but once it's pointed out, you need to be aware of that. he says. it's constant work in says. it's a constant work in progress for himself well, progress even for himself well, isuppose progress even for himself well, i suppose they're alluding to the idea maybe that he's potentially trying to sit down his relatives, his father and his relatives, his father and his brother and points how all of the ways that they might be unconsciously racist and they've told to one and he's an alpha told to do one and he's an alpha about that maybe . well i do about that maybe. well i do think he's got point, but there's a term that , you know, there's a term that, you know, most us hadn't heard of most of us hadn't heard of unconscious bias. unconscious racism until relatively recently and perhaps we do need to look at our language and the way we just address one another. i think there is a point be had there and, you know, he does include himself is fairly humble and says he's on this and i

think it's true once you suddenly realise you're saying something that you step for years which you thought was all right and suddenly you realise that quite correct that that isn't quite correct you yourself up and he's you do pull yourself up and he's talking about family, talking not just about family, he's in general he's about society in general and your love, the fact you love the fact that in i think it's the fact that in i think it's the third episode they bring in brexit . yes they bring in brexit brexit. yes they bring in brexit and say that really to the racial hatred in the country and therefore against meghan . well therefore against meghan. well i mean would be fascinating to know meghan's intricate ideas and to take on the benefits or otherwise of the customs union and single market. i mean goodness only knows, maybe in episode four we get a little glimpse of the northern ireland protocol. jenny, thank you very much royal much. jenny bone, the royal expert , journalist and expert, journalist and broadcaster what, harry, i don't know about you, but i mean, that i thought earlier on was about when harry was saying that, you know, spies a big know, unconscious spies a big thing. work in thing. he's on constant work in progress, even for i mean progress, even for him. i mean idea for me that he's now you know, he doesn't want to do the

dishes he got shout out harry how is your unconscious bias saying you're going to saying that you're going to leave to me? i'm leave the hoovering to me? i'm telling you must telling you, you know, you must copy left, right and copy home, left, right and centre mostly. there we go. right. okay. karen joins me right. okay. so, karen joins me now, report to who is now, our royal report to who is in the news. royal reaction room which as far as i'm aware is a cinema . and so come on you you cinema. and so come on you you have been are being held at gunpoint. you can't see behind come and walk. there is a gb news is essentially employed various different people at gunpoint to make cameron and a whole host of royal what all three episodes of this the pilbara open bless them and now they've had to do it come on what's your what's your latest take on on all of this is taking place so far than three episodes anything is still alive . well anything is still alive. well patrick yes we've watched the first three of this six episode docu mentary series. i think the first things points out is of course, at the very beginning of one, we had this disclaimer , one, we had this disclaimer, netflix saying that buckingham palace , kensington have palace, kensington palace have been for comment, if

been approached for comment, if they would like comment on they would like to comment on this didn't want to . this and they didn't want to. now, to my sources , now, according to my sources, inside both palaces it i understands that no members of the royal household or buckingham palace or can palace have been approached for comment so netflix disputes that that's clearly sides to this story but you play a clip of prince harry talking his experience of walking behind mother's coffin in 1997. i'm joined by former royal correspondent nicholas and nicholas . obviously, it's that nicholas. obviously, it's that prince harry, a child, experienced quite a lot of and is still haunted by his mother's . oh of course that's bound to happen, isn't it. i mean, he's caught it when you think the age that he was a teenager. i'll be very honest with you . i lost my very honest with you. i lost my mother when i was eight years old and in those days, i was kept away. i didn't go to the funeral or anything else, a little bit older, of course, is much aware of everything that was going on around him and then

forced walk behind that coffin with full public view and with all in full public view and everything else. oh yeah, that. that's going to haunt you for the rest of your days. but i've said this many times, you've got to got to move on in life, haven't you? we all move on haven't you? we all to move on in and you can't keep think in life and you can't keep think spooling back and trying to blame everything that wrong blame everything that went wrong on terrible traumatic on sort of terrible traumatic memories. sort of memories. you've got to sort of put aside to some extent, put them aside to some extent, surely. and mentioned moving surely. and you mentioned moving on it very clear from on of course, it very clear from prince william following the revelations that the panorama interview with princess diana was was obtained over pretences. that's interview should never be played again . now, a documentary played again. now, a documentary with brother fronting the documentary has played at least 20 seconds of it. what do you make of that? well, indeed. i mean, what can you say about that? very contradictory. isn't it? and so many things could be said about it. the princess , it said about it. the princess, it decided that she would go on and air her grievance says, okay, fair enough , she wasn't paid to fair enough, she wasn't paid to do it . there was no money do it. there was no money

changed . whatever else motives changed. whatever else motives might have been . so i think it's might have been. so i think it's very difficult to draw parallels between these things. and harry talked , in this netflix series, talked, in this netflix series, didn't he about she told her true . you know this is again true. you know this is again surely there is only the truth and i do not think really that this series is giving us anything very clear about the truth from either side. that's my honest feeling about it. well, another theme that prince alludes to in this is particularly his romantic and their dealings with the media. so let's just take a little listen to what he. every relationship that i had within a matter weeks or months was splattered all over the newspapers and that person's family harassed and their lives turned upside . down turned upside. down relationships splattered over, newspapers . as prince harry just newspapers. as prince harry just sits there in that clip. relationships turned upside . but relationships turned upside. but meghan stuck it, didn't she, for the course is still by his side,

albeit now having stepped back as a senior working member of the royal family. indeed i must remember that meghan, american very, very, very used to in the pubuc very, very, very used to in the public eye in fact wanting be in the public eye. i mean that's that's what obviously in her profession were all about. so i don't think it's a too surprising that she was to stay the course whether it ruined relationships along line whether the media always came in and you know as soon as i started writing about it people sort of fled in. again i'm sorry to soundi fled in. again i'm sorry to sound i keep sounding terribly sceptical about all these things and old fashioned , but i do sort and old fashioned, but i do sort of wonder that this whole business of harry's that other members of the royal family had go through this, you know , a go through this, you know, a really you kind of got to ignore it a bit. well, it is a two way street. it is a two way street for all of them. harry is fifth in line to the throne. now, the chances of being on the throne, of course. now isn't he? was it maybe six? yeah. you correct? you'll probably wrong. closer to

the me. but still , the action than me. but still, he's remote. he's not he's not that remote. he's not that remote. and after all the media, the modern media, the. it is played . this is this is where is played. this is this is where the royal family image has to be projected. they they need the media. they need the media. and that should never be forgotten. you can't just get by and run it all on your own rolls. i think where harry should be directing far and it's understandable if he to do it is social media. social media. that's where all the bile and the misery is going. and if it's racism that he goes on and on about, he and meghan concerned about, that is surely the channels that have been used for not the basic media not the basic media. perhaps social might be a theme in the next three episodes. nicholas patrick i'm afraid you're going to have to sit through another three episodes this time next, because the final three episodes are being published on netflix time next week, which happens coincide with princess of wales with the princess of wales service at westminster abbey .

service at westminster abbey. yet another overshadow the prince and princess of wales. yes. good luck, cameron. thank you very much, nick, as well. great data and. i believe maybe we can unshackle cameron from this cinema state now free cameron . he's start cameron. he's going to start trending on twitter. but just my couple points this , nick. couple of points on this, nick. i mean, i thought made some some good points about it being a two way street in my opinion. prince harry, if he wasn't born into royalty, would probably be stocking and stocking shelves in aldi and maybe doing a disservice to people shelves in people who stock shelves in aldi. reason he's got aldi. the only reason he's got a profile. millions and millions and of pounds the and millions of pounds in the bank. reason why we get bank. the only reason why we get to after to him waffle on to after listen to him waffle on and on about things like and prattle on about things like the whilst sitting the environment whilst sitting in a private jet in the comfort of a private jet on from a polo is on the way back from a polo is because of what was born because of what he was born into. so i think it is a two way street, he? i mean, street, isn't he? i mean, i would be willing to tolerate a little of income variance little bit of an income variance on well, not so on a private well, not so private, i should say. a luxury ski holiday somewhere if it meant i got money in the meant that i got money in the bank. can i just point bank. and also, can i just point this. you think it's a bit

this. you don't think it's a bit weird? harry meghan to weird? harry and meghan seem to be lot filming of be doing a lot filming of themselves. what was supposed to be intensely and obsessing be these intensely and obsessing moments. forgive moments. i mean, just forgive me. is deeply, me. i think it is deeply, deeply. nelson about the idea that meghan might be alone in canada somewhere pining for her husband , doing a hair in the husband, doing a hair in the mirror and thought, what just do now is take my phone out and record myself being really upset on my out. if that was one of your mates and you walked in on them in the bathroom or in a room or whatever they were doing, you know, kind of recording themselves, crying you i think you'd say are you alright. maybe you need to get yourself checked if it's my yourself checked out if it's my heart, you're with me. heart, say you're with me. patrick christys news. patrick christys on gb news. coming on business and coming up on business and economics, halligan has economics, liam halligan has sat down spoken to labour's down and spoken to labour's shadow chancellor, rachel reeves about the opposition's vision for bring you for the economy. we'll bring you some conversation after some of that conversation after this short . there and you see you come to conclusions that do make sense

and you can see the fact that it's all speak and no action . i it's all speak and no action. i think in a way, it's they know that it's very difficult for the royal family to speak out . so royal family to speak out. so they're pushing and pushing and pushing the boundaries harder and harder and getting worse and worse. and i think this might be absolutely a big crash for them because people are having enough people don't like that. they're attacking family. and i think

that if you're a journalist , you that if you're a journalist, you have to take a bit of a knock, but not when it's vile and this is this is the make or break moment. i think fundamentally, for me, you know, people have lost the argument

hancock out after local tories revolt we'll have more on that great news shortly by superstar panel great news shortly by superstar panel. back with me now former nsa current columnist at the daily star. why spark the dawn needs a

break welcome back, everybody, some absolutely stellar emails coming in about this. meghan and harry 77 to this later because now time some properties at the labour business conference has taken in london featuring taken place in london featuring labour leader sir keir starmer and senior party figures. the shadow chancellor rachel reeves outlined a labour government would work with business to make britain an enterprising , dynamic britain an enterprising, dynamic nafion britain an enterprising, dynamic nation and gb news is economics and business editor enterprising and business editor enterprising and dynamic himself sat down with her to discuss it. rachel reeves is this wave of precursor strikes is imposed on the public, the patients . millions public, the patients. millions of voters could be tested . we of voters could be tested. we ever reach a point where trade unions are too powerful . look, i unions are too powerful. look, i nobody to see industrial action. i do not want to see industrial action . i would urge the action. i would urge the government even at this late hour to sit down and negotiate

with key workers who are looking to take this industrial action . to take this industrial action. if you take the nurses, for example , before have nurses example, before have nurses taken strike action as 19 century march. this is unprecedented. we've got to listen to why nhs workers feel that they need to take this action. but i'm not going to pluck numbers out of the air. any settlement has got to be fair to those who are working in the sector , but it also has to the sector, but it also has to be affordable to public finances. but it's also clear that these this industrial action is about much more than just pay. if you look at nurses, for example, the stories of nurses, times time again at the end of their shift, not able to go home because there's no one to pass to. on and that is a huge pressure on nurses a time andifs huge pressure on nurses a time and it's causing burnout. and it's not just strike days that are seeing a crisis in our nhs

and a crisis on our railways. it frankly is every single day of the week at the moment and the government to address these issues in all key public services. this is a very much a pro—business you've been meeting business leaders here , canary business leaders here, canary wharf. you've launched start—ups scale up this business friendly review. the are increasing corporation tax paid by small firms as well 19 to 25. is that business friendly isn't it too high. the government have increased taxes think it's now 24 times in the last two and a bit years. why is just that they should be less than 25. let me answer. the reason they're increasing taxes time and time again is that the government have failed to grow the economy . the average growth rate in the last 12 years has been just 1.4% a year on labour. labour it was a year on labour. labour it was a corporation tax going to help that isn't going to lower growth unden that isn't going to lower growth under. the last labour government economic average one and a half times more average per year than it does at 2.1% a

yeah per year than it does at 2.1% a year. that's why we this report today. start scale up to make britain the best place to start and grow a business surely need and grow a business surely need a lower corporation tax and then 25.look a lower corporation tax and then 25. look liz truss calls me equality . tried this experiment equality. tried this experiment in cutting taxes saying where the money is going to come from and it resulted in a huge spike in borrowing costs for government and ordinary people. so you anyone who wants to make tax cuts has to show exactly the money is going to come from and not going to get any unfunded cuts or spending commitments from me or from the labour party . a new coal mines being opened a , . a new coal mines being opened , a relatively economically disadvantaged part of cumbria as , you know, 500 well—paid jobs , , you know, 500 well—paid jobs, hundred more jobs in the supply . a lot of local people in whitehaven. want that coal mine would labour close it . labour's would labour close it. labour's green prosperity plan is about investing in the jobs , the investing in the jobs, the future in carbon capture and storage , green hydrogen floating storage, green hydrogen floating offshore wind and green steel.

so we want to create jobs in the energy sector. so no new coal mines. we're not in favour of nuclear would close the one in what, ivan? well, there's no new coal mine in whitehaven and i'm convinced is going to be one there by the of the next there by the time of the next election, because there will be much opposition as we know today. you want close , if today. so you want to close, if there was one opened a lot of environmental want you to say yes. well i would much that yes. well i would very much that by the time in the next election there is to be a new coal . there there is to be a new coal. there will be much objection to this in the community and beyond . we in the community and beyond. we want to create jobs in the north of england including in cumbria. but we will be doing that by investing in the jobs and the industries of the future . we've industries of the future. we've got today a fossil fuel prime minister in the age of renewables, investing in the of the past rather than those of the past rather than those of the future. michael gove , as you the future. michael gove, as you know, has asked the competition authority to launch an investigation into what he calls cartel like housebuilders. he

accuses them they would deny of restrictive practises in not building enough new homes given the planning permissions that they have. do you agree with that call for a cma inquiry into housebuilders? that's a bit . and housebuilders? that's a bit. and the government decided that there's not enough houses being built when they've just scrapped their targets for four housebuilding. you know i welcome any investigation in start by the cma to look at how the sector works. but government needs to do its part by having targets for housebuilding and actually getting britain building because home ownership is now out of reach for far too many young and far too many families , home ownership is families, home ownership is falling under the conservative. it's labour now organised homeowners. i know you are very good with of former bank of england official you all know that under brown and blair that was when social the building of council houses plummeted. right well labour's in the early years of the last labour government was to get social housing up to

a decent because in the eighties and nineties the quality of council the social housing fell to such a terrible standard with kitchens and that were way well past their sell by date where you had a windows, a mould and damp and that's we prioritise improving standard of council housing. but absolutely we need to be doing more to invest in housing especially at a time when rents in the private sector are so high the policy is so much a housing is so poor and just final question, if i may shadow , chancellor, i do shadow, chancellor, i do appreciate it is a breaking . we appreciate it is a breaking. we know that there are police investigations for fraud at unite union. labour's biggest donon unite union. labour's biggest donor. it be that your party's in receipt. you deny it of criminal weekend funding? well, i really welcome the fact that the new general secretary of unite the union has done this investigation , has referred it

investigation, has referred it to the place as john graham. the new secretary, has done the right thing . i do not know the right thing. i do not know the details of any of these investigations . details of any of these investigations. i'm sure that police will do a job and we look forward to those reports. shadow chancellor, thanks for joining me . thanks or they got lots for me. thanks or they got lots for us to talk that liam halligan our economics and business sense . and we've got the other side of the news, some stories, of the news, some big stories, some scoops us to get stuck some big scoops us to get stuck into, not least about the coal mines released by housebuilding as going to go to as well. we're going to go to your when we come back your headlines when we come back will be me right here in will be with me right here in the studio to that apart. the studio to pick that apart. don't anywhere . 5:35 on don't go anywhere. 5:35 on radisson in the gb newsroom, the mother of harry dunn's says her promise to get justice for her son is well and truly complete following the sentencing of sacoolas for causing his death by careless driving . the wife of by careless driving. the wife of a us diplomat eight months in prison suspend it for 12 months

in august 2019, she was driving on the wrong side of the road when she hit the 90 year old and later guilty to causing his death. mrs. sacoolas says deeply sorry for the pain that she . sorry for the pain that she. speaking outside the court harry's mum, charlotte charles praised the verdict. a warning for those watching on television this clip contains flashing images you know and skill had the criminal record for the rest of the life that was something that you know they never she never thought she'd say the us government never thought that they'd say and worked tirelessly and relentlessly to make sure that she in the end still had to do what you and i would have had to done. so, yeah , harry, we do to done. so, yeah, harry, we do that and we get we get the uk health agency has confirmed that 15 children under the age of 15 have now died from strep a, 13 children have died in england since september one death has been recorded , northern ireland been recorded, northern ireland and one in wales. health officials say there's no

evidence that a new strain is circulating and. the rise in cases is probably due to high amounts of circulated skin bacteria and increased mixing well. meanwhile, waiting lists , well. meanwhile, waiting lists, routine nhs treatment in england have hit a record high and a&e performances now at a record low , according to nhs england, 7.2 million people were waiting to start routine treatment at the end of october and just 67% of a&e patients were seen within 4 hours of being admitted . hours of being admitted. ambulance response times have improved, but a still more than 40 minutes behind the target time of 18 minutes. the government has defended its decision to open the first uk coal mine for 30 years, saying it still intends on phasing out coal levelling up. secretary has given planning permission for the new mine cumbria cop26 . alok the new mine cumbria cop26. alok sharma has labelled decision a backward step for climate action, but michael gove says it

will create hundreds jobs. senior palace sources are denying that the royal family decline to comment on allegations made the duke and duchess of sussex is netflix series. it's understood that kensington palace did receive an email from a third party production company but attempts to verify it received no response that contradicts a statement made at the start of the programme. in the series accuses the royal family of a huge level of unconscious bias on tv , online and on disney plus on tv, online and on disney plus radio . you're watching the radio. you're watching the people's channel gb news patrick. we'll be back in just a moment moment. patrick. we'll be back in just a so he says it's a dirty game. right. they're playing it. those two are playing the dirty game . two are playing the dirty game. they know they can spread their

version of the truth around the world with no comeback . so these world with no comeback. so these gagging always need to be lifted. i want to hear what the staff say about her. how many of them is there now, if there's lots of them saying i know who i believe so. and it's also about what sort of people they are, what sort of people they are, what sort of roles they hold. i mean, remember

lost the argument when the only thing they can lean back on its identity politics, they won't allow these staff members to speak out. they only want their side of the truth. they don't really believe in the full truth, but can to the left. and it's going to be fascinating day tomorrow. yes, i'm going to be up early. and of course, we have the full analysis of that bombshell tv series . don't bombshell tv series. don't

worry. we're going to watch it for you so you don't have to. tomorrow night, 9:00. but coming up, should harry and meghan really be winning an honour welcome back, everybody. now before the news we heard the shadow chancellor, rachel reeves speaking to gb news is economics

and business editor. liam halligan. i'm very pleased, joins me now. right there was a lot of very interesting stuff and not the first thing that stood for was about coal stood out for me was about coal mines. yeah. just to say to viewers listeners, a viewers, listeners, it was a five, six minute conversation. i'd really like to sort of sit down the shadow down and quiz the shadow chancellor 20 minutes, half chancellor for 20 minutes, half now, just on in that now, labour is just on in that mode the moment. had a very mode at the moment. i had a very strictly regimented five or 6 minutes. i mean, it's great that gb news got to do the interview we wanted sit down with we wanted to sit down with shadow for long shadow chancellor for a long time to her but if time so. shapiro to her but if it short and truncated it a bit short and truncated that's why i just don't think labour are in a kind of holding pattern mode at the moment they're not wheeling their they're not wheeling out their policies because quite frankly, the politics works, the the way politics works, the tories. nick that's how politics works. but i think it was interesting what she said the interesting what she said on the coal because gove coal mine because michael gove morning confirmed he's morning it was confirmed he's approved the building of the first coal mine in the uk for over a decade and it's up in in cumbria. it's for coking coal which is used as a raw material in steel of course and this coal

mine will provide 500 local highly paid, you know, very jobs and around 1500 jobs support stopping the activity in the coal mine . and michael gove coal mine. and michael gove levelling up. secretary of course taking a lot of stick for it and it's interesting that actually a lot of people in the locality the coal mine. there are some that don't and of course protesters have travelled from far and wide to denounce the idea of a new coal mine in cumbria, because it goes against the sort green agenda. but quite a lot of people, local people do want because it provides jobs want it because it provides jobs for kids and their for their kids and their grandkids so on. it's very grandkids and so on. it's very interesting given interesting that given that quite lot of working people quite a lot of working people want that mine, that says want that coal mine, that says the chancellor, we'd the shadow chancellor, we'd don't want any more new coal mines. so if it's the greens working people and that's a simplistic division , but labour simplistic division, but labour is definitely going for the green vote rather than this kind of blue collar . yeah, which of blue collar. yeah, which actually really is fascinating

juxtaposition is there . yes. juxtaposition is there. yes. i mean which , is one reason why mean which, is one reason why michael gove approved it because it gets that you kind of get that. but it's interesting . no that. but it's interesting. no hesitation. we don't want any more new coal mines. yeah no fantastic stuff. and, and yes that of course will be out and about we'll be able to watch onune about we'll be able to watch online as well. yeah so the full length interview we just played it. yeah on your show. thank you. just before the break but it's on gb news facebook. page gb news. youtube channel. i'll also be tweeting it out . yeah, also be tweeting it out. yeah, well a watch no less. not well worth a watch no less. not as well, because it wasn't just about comments. of course about the comments. of course there loads about there was loads in there about housing etc. etc. so yes, it and a really good insight actually into labour i'll ask the into what labour i'll ask at the minute that. thank you minute that. liam, thank you very halligan. now very much. liam halligan. now you business you can almost i'm business edhon you can almost i'm business editor. okay. no editor. right. okay. we've no got long left to rattle through a of big ones. she said a couple of big ones. she said the be set to the government could be set to rely hundreds armed forces rely on hundreds of armed forces personnel in for border personnel to stand in for border force at airports during. eight days of strikes the days of strikes over, the festive potentially festive period and potentially to drivers to cover ambulance drivers as well fighters as well . well and fire fighters as well.

speaking secretary speaking earlier, home secretary said government outlined the government response minimise disruption for the public. what we have been preparing for prospects of border force strikes for some time now. we've got plans in place that will involve to a degree bringing in some of our military colleagues to help us in a variety of roles . and we want to ultimately you know, i'm not willing to compromise on security at the border well , i compromise on security at the border well, i mean, compromise on security at the border well , i mean, there's border well, i mean, there's very little to compromise on, isn't there? isn't any security at the border. it's a just a just a porous border any way that we can. i do hope, by the way, the who are the military way, the who are in the military who end up getting roped in because of all these other people going strike, get paid people going on strike, get paid the wage the people that the wage of the people that they're if that wage they're covering. if that wage is i suspect is more because i suspect it probably but anyway that probably is but is anyway that we for plans of we go for all the plans of course to in the troops and course to call in the troops and be with fury by some senior military figures. i'm not surprised. should we be using surprised. so should we be using our armed like this. our armed forces like this. i mean, short answer

mean, the short answer is no, but i suppose. else have we but i suppose. who else have we got joining now, got anyway? joining me now, major chapman. major general chip chapman. thank chip. thank you very much, chip. i mean, presumably the armed forces pretty angry forces are just pretty angry about whole thing mean, about the whole thing i mean, everyone strike. i mean, everyone goes on strike. i mean, yvonne strike. but well, yvonne went strike. but well, you know, maybe we presented you know, maybe be we presented the i think the problem is the show i think the problem is patrick they embedded patrick that they they embedded military aid to the civil authorities in both the 2015 national security and the 2021 integrated review . and when iraq integrated review. and when iraq and afghanistan on stop the very forward senior officers who wanted to get in this space. and that's why we're in this position so you know you get what you pay for and so it's a bit late for them to be saying this now when they've been wanting to do this for years and really started to do it . they really started to do it. they wanted to get involved in particular in the olympics 2012. it's not say that we haven't done this recently because of course we have . there was a course we have. there was a thing called presumably in 2015 or october 14 to january 15,

which was ambulance driving last yearin which was ambulance driving last year in september there was a thing called of escalation, which was to do with making sure that the fuel supply was running so the military were always there to do it . and in security there to do it. and in security terms as well . so a thing called terms as well. so a thing called tempora, which saw rolled out in 2017 with the terrorist attacks where there were 3800 people who at night to move the thing for the army and, the armed forces, because this generally 40% army, 30, 30 royal navy and this is that it's really bad for morale at christmas it's retention negative and you'll see a lot of people signing off in future but of course it's a central air force. it's a it's there for the government to use . it wants and government to use. it wants and the government take the view. so the government take the view. so the concern about the sunk cost of that they've already paid for the military. yeah i mean there's a lot here isn't there. not least the fact that as you've just that the army don't isuppose

you've just that the army don't i suppose maybe literally they do sign up this but they don't really. you take what i mean when comes to the not when it comes to the army not really signing for this. the really signing up for this. the morale christmas is, morale at christmas is, well, the potential anyway, even just on paper least of it being on paper at least of it being a bit a security issue. the bit of a security issue. the idea that we've lot of our idea that we've got a lot of our army or raaf navy or whatever requisitioned doing else requisitioned it's doing else some would say some people however would say that maybe army that maybe just maybe the army and can show the and the military can show the other it's done in other people how it's done in some respects as well and do things more efficiently while they certainly in this case. they can certainly in this case. secondly they can certainly in this case. second solve . so what they would cannot solve. so what they would probably do is, for example a fire strike is that they would absolutely prioritise and only go in in a life saving situation . they wouldn't be there to get mrs. meghan's cat out of a tree that would be somebody doing the same . just. just quietly. sorry same. just. just quietly. sorry sorry, sorry. because we've only got about a minute max left with you. i just wanted to get this said. the basic right of , the said. the basic right of, the army. i know it's a sliding scale, but the kind of average individual be roped to go individual will be roped to go and border force and cover for a border force worker ambulance driver or

worker or an ambulance driver or something. i don't know. are they less money than those they on less money than those people covering for? people they're covering for? yeah, probably you yeah, they probably are. but you give when give certain rights when you join forces. one of join the armed forces. one of those, course, is the right those, of course, is the right to and in cost , to strike. and in a cost, nafions to strike. and in a cost, nations such as ours, civil of the military, means you go where the military, means you go where the politicians jolly well tell you to do so. at the end of the day, what including by saying that defence co—op that you see so maintained missile defence so maintained a missile defence in gb and a mate like the deterrent would be maintained a posture in estonia and poland against the russians. so defence outfits will certainly maintain major will chapman thank you very very much for joining us major will chapman thank you very very much forjoining us on very very much for joining us on that about the military being rotating as well i suppose at the cost of morale, all of that stuff and potential retention going forward as well as a couple of people going strike. there deep seated there is surely a deep seated here, ladies and gentlemen, isn't there? i think people being a job when being roped to in do a job when they're less well paid than the people going strike people who are going on strike to but anyway, they would to do it. but anyway, they would go let's get now obviously a

view a different topic view on a different topic because the government has announced that is investing announced that it is investing £5 into speeding up the £5 million into speeding up the immigration process by increasing of the increasing the of days the tribunals can operate so up to 9000 more immigration asylum cases will be heard before the end of march. you can see on your screen now what looked like a giant portaloo coming the channel. there we are. but will it a real difference to the it make a real difference to the build up cases or is it just build up of cases or is it just too little, too late? joining me now conservative now is conservative mp for buckingham, greg, buckingham, greg smith. greg, thank cynic in me thank you very. the cynic in me says this is 5 billion quid on top of the says this is 5 billion quid on top of th e £7 billion already top of the £7 billion already spending for spending every single day for these that actually these hotels that might actually just smooth just facilitate the smooth transition of various different people and people across the channel and into society. and into british society. and definitely it's not not stopping the coming is it the root cause them coming is it . you're right to highlight, the root cause them coming is it .you're right to highlight, i would say that this initiative announced by the government today is a good one for getting the asylum cases through court system a lot quicker. we the asylum cases through court system a lot quicker . we know system a lot quicker. we know that a huge part of the problem that a huge part of the problem that we've got the reason that we are such hideous amount of

we are such a hideous amount of every single day to those seeking asylum who have come illegally in hotel bills is the frankly failure of civil servants and those processing it to get them quickly enough. we had those shocking numbers of only one point for a week by each case a few weeks ago . this each case a few weeks ago. this hopefully will get people through the court system, assess their asylum application , get a their asylum application, get a yes or a no on it very, very quickly . but there's lots more quickly. but there's lots more that we need to doing. i was in with the home secretary this week stressing how urgent it is that? we've got to get a bill of rights, the house of commons, to ensure that it's british courts that judge what our laws say like the rwanda partnership, not overseas . we've got to get overseas. we've got to get really, really tough ensure that people understand that if they're people traffickers and smugglers they're not going to get away with this any more today announcement is just the start but we've to go much, much

further about the court . the further about the court. the conservative party's be doing a little bit more to emphasise actually they've only got a couple of years now to get this stuff and people may argue the dog's not quite as dramatic as the depending it, but the future, depending on it, but when to various things when it comes to various things like having of a say over like having a more of a say over our really they've got our etc, really they've got a couple years to get couple of years to get this through. otherwise labour through. otherwise if, if labour win at the next general election, well, it's not to happen, is it? you're absolutely right . the clock is ticking . right. the clock is ticking. we've only got a limited amount of parliamentary before the next general election . the bill of general election. the bill of rights is probably going to be controversial, particularly down in the house of lords and we're potentially into parliament at territory on this. but we've got to do it. we have got to assert this is british courts and british courts that can judge our own laws. the rwanda fight couldn't take off because courts overseas , us, we couldn't do it. overseas, us, we couldn't do it. we to get the nationality and borders act properly into force . and the only way we can do

thatis . and the only way we can do that is by more legislation. i'm afraid . and you're right, the afraid. and you're right, the clock is ticking, greg, it's good to know that there are all these people like you trying to try to push the envelope when it comes to this stuff. greg smith, thank you very much. conservative bucking conservative mp bucking him, just the latest just watching through the latest when well, i suppose when it comes to well, i suppose a fast track it comes a potential fast track it comes to approving or asylum processes right next michelle dewberry right up next michelle dewberry the one subject where james and co and as ever is harry the studio. michelle with you all coming up. hello patrick. yeah, we've all found our ways freezing . cold outside, cold in freezing. cold outside, cold in that i keep sort of the ankle on. sorry anyway, i've got to be honest, i've dressed sensibly, got a vest and thermal got a vest on and thermal tights. so i hate humour not tights. so i hate humour and not the that's what but the home. that's what i. but anyway, digress . anyway, well, anyway, i digress. anyway, well, i firmly my train of thought. yes, yes . how i firmly my train of thought. yes, yes. how much i firmly my train of thought. yes, yes . how much help should yes, yes. how much help should the government give to people, particularly pension as some are saying, that the government is just giving too much just blanket giving too much help without means testing it. many people are saying get out

then , as for many, plenty then, as i say, for many, plenty of sunshine , we do the of sunshine, we do keep the showers for western parts of wales in through the wales drifting in through the cheshire snow cheshire gap as well. and snow showers continuing for scotland. that warning remains in place. temperatures really 2 to 5 celsius. the very max . and as celsius. the very max. and as soon as that sun sets friday night, we'll see that frost developing quite widely on. the map as well with lighter winds and a bit more across england and a bit more across england and wales some dense freezing fog patches will develop. this could cause some disruption if you're later on you're travelling later on friday and indeed early on saturday. once again though, temperatures falling well below , freezing i think across some the snow covered fields in scotland, we could see lows of minus ten. so biting cold start to the saturday morning as we go through saturday. then we keep some snow showers feeding in across parts of right near the coast, but snow inland as we come elsewhere across the country, there will still some plenty of sunshine around , but plenty of sunshine around, but some of those freezing fog patches could through the weekend and it stays cold

throughout. but. needs a businessman and activist adam brookes and the broadcaster ashley james. breaking tonight, border force staff at major airports around the country , airports around the country, heathrow, gatwick and manchester will be joining britain's december strike. will be joining britain's mean, remember i was speaking to many of these people throughout the time they were in the royal family and i can vouch for their characters and you only have to look at their previous employees to know employers, to know that

these are, on the whole good people. dawn is the problem with harry saying, oh, we're

by the day now we're that way. it is freezing thing outside . you is freezing thing outside. you think the government is doing enough help those there's been a debate raging about whether or not pensioners are doing too well out of the situation it comes to government help what i'm referring to is the fact that their assistance is not means tested in lots of cases some people are saying that is absolutely wrong. why should pensioners get any money at all?

other people are saying where's the account ? so basically saying the account? so basically saying something after they've paid into the system all of their lives and they are entitled to the assistance . who side are you the assistance. who side are you on? i'm by the way. do you think the government is doing enough generally to help us all out get this climate crime on humanity? what am i talking about? well, i'm talking about green party's description of the new money that's been given the go ahead in cumbria. is this back in the dark ages or it all common sense . an dark ages or it all common sense. an rising in young adults here in britain faster than anywhere in the world. some people are saying the government should more to stop it. saying the government should more to stop it . really? is it more to stop it. really? is it the government's responsibility? rishi sunak's to stop you being unhealthy. give me a break. oh, am i missing something? and imprisonment for public ? imprisonment for public? basically that means a sentence with a minimum term, but not a

maximum. what? about 3000 people
