latest from . the superintendent latest from. the superintendent of west midlands police, richard harris . our officers were quick harris. our officers were quick to respond at the scene yesterday afternoon and having worked very closely colleagues from other emergency services went into lake itself to help rescue the children and to try and assist them as quickly as we possibly could . we've worked possibly could. we've worked very closely with our colleagues in west midlands fire service and also in west midlands ambulance service and has been a real joint effort . it is real joint effort. it is incredibly that we do not any better news for you today regarding yesterday afternoon . regarding yesterday afternoon. yeah, this is the tragic human side of the extreme weather that we've been reason we're going to be talking about that rather a lot especially in the context of travel chaos. we're sticking with this tragedy for the meantime because the emergency services are warning people to stay now open water, stay away. now from open water, especially children . it's especially children. it's terrible say you want to go terrible to say you want to go outside play in the snow and

outside and play in the snow and play outside and play in the snow and play the ice, have a good play in the ice, have a good time. at the same time, time. but at the same time, we've to make that we've got to make that everybody's completely safe to, be in to stay away, be in want to stay away, especially open after especially from open after this tragic lake especially from open after this trasolihull. lake especially from open after this trasolihull. and lake especially from open after this trasolihull. and joining lake especially from open after this trasolihull. and joining linow in solihull. and joining me now is gb news is west midlands reporter john carson is there for what's the latest ? for us jack what's the latest? well, patrick, the latest is this operation of searching lake continues. of course, we heard the press conference, the superintendent, richard harris, saying there was no immediate recognition that there were possibly people in this lake that had nobody come , no that had nobody come, no witnesses reporting, missing, people that might have been involved in incident. but as he said just to make sure they're still that they're still searching this lake, we've seen out afternoon police on on boats and patrols going through the water. we understand with thermal imaging camera through thermal imaging camera through the water to see if they can find any evidence of any more that may have been involved in this incident in west midlands police are calling for people to

come forward you don't go into that website, west midlands police forward. police website to come forward. if you have any information it doesn't need to be witnessed. the incident . it can be that you the incident. it can be that you saw the boys, lake 20 saw maybe the boys, the lake 20 half hour or 30 minutes half an hour or 30 minutes before the incident happened . before the incident happened. they're just trying to understand how many people possibly been possibly might have been involved we know involved here. course, we know that pulled four people that they've pulled four people out out this lake out of this out this lake yesterday afternoon . it's 2:34 yesterday afternoon. it's 2:34 pm. when police came and we got the call from a local here about the call from a local here about the incident that happened minutes later a policeman and members of the public charged into the water policeman without any protective clothing just with normal police uniform trousers boots you know no protective equipment into into the lake , breaking ice with his the lake, breaking ice with his bare hands. they were to hospital suffering hypothermia. they've not been released from hospital and are on the road to a full recovery. so that just asking for the police are asking witnesses anything that may give them any more information . this

them any more information. this case they're not treating it as a criminal investigation at the minute. they're supporting families as they continue in the community is now starting to coming together , laying tributes coming together, laying tributes and candles here at the scene . and candles here at the scene. jack, thank you much. of course, in that bringing us the latest solihull , that search operation solihull, that search operation does, of course , continue, but does, of course, continue, but were meant to be seen. if there are any more people involved with that . yes. and our thoughts with that. yes. and our thoughts go out clearly , all of those go out clearly, all of those affected, three young boys tragically died, another one in critical condition. but at the same time as well, i think important to recognise the heroic attempts that by police officers wearing any officers not wearing any protective gear going there, punching the etc. punching through the ice, etc. police often get a lot police officers often get a lot of steak for not acting and that is very much a hero that but just a slightly different take now on the freezing conditions it caused widespread travel it has caused widespread travel disruption throughout the uk . disruption throughout the uk. people don't need to tell me anything about that. ended up anything about that. i ended up getting 12 and a half hour

getting a 12 and a half hour train, three tubes on day college, five into work today so that who says that that we go. who says that britain handle a of britain doesn't handle a bit of snow anyway trains are snow well anyway trains are being delayed motorists warned to take care after several motorway entered passengers motorway entered as passengers face cancellations at face delays and cancellations at airports. after snow, ice airports. yes, after snow, ice and freezing fog swept . brits in and freezing fog swept. brits in anyway. flights have since resumed, but further cancellations , delays are cancellations, delays are possible. a yellow weather is in place for much of the uk with disruption to continue as we disruption set to continue as we head into the evening rush hour. i know a lot of people will be watching, listening to this now, planning that journey home. and joining president of joining me is the president of the edmund king obe a thank you very much. have been to you very much. have been to have you on show . right, very much. have been to have you on show. right, edmund? on the show. right, edmund? look, would just recommend that people trying stay off the people trying to stay off the roads, hatches, stay at roads, down the hatches, stay at home, mulled wine, put home, glass of mulled wine, put a up . well, it's so a nice film up. well, it's so busy if you can do that. but we still realise there are many workers hospital workers , workers hospital workers, postmen , patrols, etc. people

postmen, patrols, etc. people that that do to get out . but i that that do to get out. but i think for those that have got a choice, particularly areas of the southeast , the southwest, the southeast, the southwest, i do think tonight will be particularly treacherous. patrick we saw last night the m25, the northern between junctions 23 and 25, many people for hours. yes basically on the on the on that that appears me and we can see footage of it there. if people are watching on tv a fundamental lack of gritting. we hear about councils all the time they'll run a sweepstake to rename that grit. so gritty bank so we've got gritty, gritty bank banks. freddie mercury grip me, baby. more there's no baby. one more time. there's no gritting at all, is gritting taking there at all, is there? surely this make there? and surely this must make your living hell. the your life a living hell. the president of the aa. you're getting left, right getting phone calls left, right and people come and centre that people have come out greeted and out and greeted the roads and done their job. you wouldn't be under some pressure. well, indeed it increases indeed you know, it increases our breakdown by 25, 30. in

fact, one of our recovery drivers stuck on amongst the carnage on the m25 last night. now highways to claim that they did grit to it sunday afternoon sunday night difficult to know what sometimes to be crooked too in the snow comes down doesn't have that effect . but obviously have that effect. but obviously in the uk most drivers don't have winter tyres . if you go to have winter tyres. if you go to sweden, norway , denmark by law sweden, norway, denmark by law they have to have winter tyres. but i think the main for drivers and this might seem petty but it's that the best advice if you are finishing i'll make you have enough petrol or diesel or indeed electric charge because for those people that got stuck on the m25 for no fault of their other . yes, only if you've got other. yes, only if you've got fuel you can turn your engine on, put the heater on and you

keep cool. well those salaries elderly people died in those subzero temperatures that that is the first bit of advice. and then you know also patrick, check your car out beforehand. make chairs with the and you know basic take a coat take take trim we know your location other thing patrick many people in areas in the snow break down. they don't know where they are . they don't know where they are. there's a free up walked three words i don't know if you've heard of that it's yeah you go to points the world into 57,000,000,000,003 metres square hours so you just click on the app hours so you just click on the app it tells you where you are and you can tell the aa or indeed the emergency services so that means people get to move quickly it does indeed it is well worth actually checking the app well worth actually checking the app three words? look, app out. what three words? look, thank you very much. thank you very, very much. imagine man, so imagine you're a busy man, so i'll crack dealing with i'll let you crack dealing with

the transport weather the latest transport weather related be related admin can go be president the a now i don't president of the a now i don't want to get to mobile about the whole thing, but if you have been stuck on a road or even just some nice winter scenery actually get into sheep, use the gbnews.uk sign as you pictures us your gripes whether it's an email or a or indeed a video as well. have the roads near you been gritted? i can't help but feel there is some kind of tragic irony in the people who decided they were going to get an car because they an electric car because they wanted global warming wanted to combat global warming and on that car and the electricity on that car runs as result of them runs out as a result of them being trapped in a snowstorm. my diesel fine . joining being trapped in a snowstorm. my diesel fine .joining me diesel will be fine. joining me now is councillor darren rodwell is a transport spokesman for the local government association . local government association. well you have a bit explaining to do, don't you? where's all the going . well we can only do the going. well we can only do what we can do. we can achieve miracles . we had a massive miracles. we had a massive snowfall in a very short period of time the so water when we put

out beforehand work as effectively as it can to do what's the weather reports ? do what's the weather reports? do you watch the weather report . you watch the weather report. the troll from trondheim i was talking about old last week. you know, we all knew was coming in. come on. know where it came from? sky but trip, i think you've been very dismissive to very hard work in frontline workers who have been gritting since the cold spell started over a week ago. 1.4 million tonnes of snow is stuck. top and we try and keep all the roads open. we try and keep all the roads open . we can't do back roads, open. we can't do back roads, but i can assure that our staff across all councils across the country are working as best they can. we've you know, lorries, tractors, quad snow blowers with got street cleaners actually as well to try and keep everything moving because it just the cars we've got to worry about people walking on our streets as well. so we concentrate in primary

areas where we where we can and we have give our best judgement on how much we can put down any one time. is there a great you write i was being a little bit facetious there so yes i will give you that. but but you're talking to a bloke here who spent about 15 hours trying to get into work. so i will concede the fact that i'm more my usual grumpy today actually. but grumpy self today actually. but is amount grit is there a finite amount of grit in the country? how does it work? we donate a grit work? can we donate to a grit back something obviously back because something obviously a people this trophy a lot of people as this trophy in continues to rule in trondheim continues to rule over next few days. i mean, what are we to run out? is are we going to run out? is there a gritting shortage? not i mean, i said, we got 1.4 mean, as i said, we got 1.4 million tonnes stored already. what we've got to try and do is get round macacos that in many different ways depending what the situation that council faces is. i in my london borough have two gritters that does the whole borough . now again, i've had borough. now again, i've had teams out working around the clock for the last week trying to keep all of our major roads

open. now again. it's how does that work when people in the area we're very clear do you really need to go out? lots of people now can work from home and i'm sorry to hear of a 15 hour traffic switch and you find yourself in with different modes, but it shows it it really does cause a problem for the country and what we can do for parties is try and build a mitigate as best we can in situation we find ourselves on. but please there's hundreds of thousands of front line workers doing their best, trying to make sure you can go to work, go it out and conditions exactly i suppose there will be a lot of people watching that tv or listening on their radio now we will question the merits whether or i should be allowed or not i should ever be allowed to in to work. so thank you to come in to work. so thank you very much councillor. councillor darren rodwell. there is the transport spokesperson for the local government association. i couldn't but feel as saw couldn't help but feel as saw when i was on the when i was. i was on the overnight train and i'm looking

weather draws in. did you know, did you know that are going to be potentially holiday be housed potentially in holiday camps that. anyway, i'll be camps, all that. anyway, i'll be back in a moment. i'll go . camps, all that. anyway, i'll be cup and know you feel it left out. i want to take an absolutely right. i'm willing to stop criticising strikers and stuff if any of any union bosses want to send me some money. i know that that's how it's all done. so yeah, that's generous of you. yeah you. i'd love a briefcase full of cash. and there's also snow on the front. there is a lot of snow on the front page. in the front page. outside the news. so anyone, not anyone who's not outside at the moment, a look because there's

there is my way wearing that in west london and there's a lot of snow out there. and we're going to take a while getting home tonight only we are cabdrivers i hope they cancel with the big effort in the snow. i mean, it is fun. last time it snowed like this, the thing about two years ago and i saw an old lady slide down a hill and her back, not deliberately, she just went and there is no sign funny. it's not funny to be funny. it's not funny to be funny. it's not funny . it was quite funny on funny. it was quite funny on this one occasion, but it's not. it's not normally. i was one of

the people to help to back up to the people to help to back up to the top. so we can watch you go again if you want. if you want to. a picture of snow in paddington. it's on my twitter feed so you can follow me. maybe take the make out of me being slightly overweight. that's also a good thing that as well, when you plug your youtube channel by way same night on the same night, shameless and finally we've got the daily star kyrie, have we. oh, okay. well, thanks for coming on we do have a very soft kitson coming home this is i've obviously so this story

i'll you exactly what it's about though it's about how gutted england players won't be coming home empty handed after all because city stars john stones okay. welcome everybody. patrick christys here on gb news. right now, as we all know, we're facing barrage of strikes on everywhere you look. there's a strike, although it's hard to at the moment because of this. now, nothing's working anyway. so extra but one of the big extra strike. but one of the big ones for us and i think one of the big ones for everyone, frankly, of what's going frankly, is of what's going on in an nhs or what's not going on. some people would say nurses strikes got as well strikes we've got as well potentially when it comes to ambulance , ambulance ambulance drivers, ambulance workers etc. and the workers etc. etc. and the solution always appears to be , solution always appears to be, well, let's just bring the army in, just bring in the in, let's just bring in the army. well, first of almost the

army. well, first of almost the army lot less army often is paid a lot less than the people who striking than the people who are striking the. army of course, not the. army is of course, not allowed to strike is not the army's job, but also as well can do now, know the army can do it. now, i know the army can pretty their to pretty much their hand to anything, is it anything, but in reality, is it as easy that from wednesday we're going to be strikes with the iag to hold strike the nhs, iag to hold strike action thursday well? the action on thursday as well? the government that around government has said that around 2000 staff, civil servants 2000 army staff, civil servants and volunteers all now for various roles. these include things like ambulance driving, oh, firefighters as well. i forgot about them. they're off joining now is exercise trooper beck, phil campion. phil, thank you very much. now i am aware the army can probably do just about anything, but are they prepared to? certainly when it comes to things like the nhs fill gap that will be left fill the gap that will be left by the lack of paramedics , i by the lack of paramedics, i think they'll certainly be voluntary out if they're not prepared , they'll definitely go prepared, they'll definitely go it. i have no the that you've alluded to that the army don't go on strike so they'll be more prepared they'll be ready to do it if they have to step in they

will that's that's the way it is presumably when it comes just with the health stuff, there is more than a bit of first aid training involved in being in the army. phil absolutely . and the army. phil absolutely. and to be fair, a lot of the techniques being used now by ambulance crews have been brought about while the years of conflict we've just conflict that we've just through. the medics are the through. so the medics are the best in the world, but they will best in the world, but they will be very high standard. so the be of very high standard. so the general need general public don't need to worry going to get worry that they're going to get some turning up. who some lunatic turning up. who just wants to fight everybody? that's case that's not the case with beriberi talented medic in the military system. it's going to be. yeah. and it's going to be tncky be. yeah. and it's going to be tricky to. know whether or not they can actually fill the exact gap left by ambulance and all of that because he's more the that because he's more of the behind scenes as well behind the scenes stuff as well that really grind nhs down that will really grind nhs down to already one look to a how it's already one look at someone has been at having someone has been trained army to drive an trained in the army to drive an ambulance maybe plug wound ambulance maybe how plug a wound or that but if there or something that but if there are the call handlers that to get the ambulance out in the first are enough first place or there are enough them aren't any nurses them or there aren't any nurses when get that's a different

when they get that's a different kettle but phil, the kettle of fish. but phil, the mood in the army about mood like in the army about being asked to rope him because some striking are some who are striking are actually the army is actually angry that the army is in breaking that picket in a way breaking that picket line tell you what line by this gap. tell you what don't get angry the army the plug don't get angry the army the plug gut. what you've plug in your gut. what you've got and is so in got ways and means is so in stuff that the head the stuff out that the head the ivory towers the government in order to not what i agree with them because they're the ones who have go shack now the ones who have go shack now the ones who are putting you that they're the ones spoken to you the ones you have spoken to you know so and so up know private so and so it's up to your what you thought to your job what you thought almost is not guys no almost right is not the guys no go or go to have a go either. mm. what's the mood like in the army. having to fill in army. just having to fill in because is the christmas because it is the christmas penod because it is the christmas period obviously period and they obviously weren't so it's weren't expecting this. so it's an say a lot say an attack to say a lot does say an attack to say a lot does say a lot. the people in the military will be doing these jobs are possibly on a lot less money than those who are striking. absolutely. not to mention they've mention the fact that they've probably lot more work probably done a lot more work this by very big this year just by a very big job. of the fact that the job. but of the fact that the army overstretched and army is so overstretched and they're busy but, you they're always busy but, you

know, people would have probably like for christmas. like plans for christmas. everybody now and everybody to do it every now and again. be dumped it by again. but be dumped in it by something this. the something like this. the greatest for morale. but greatest thing for morale. but said, the will said, i'm sure the army will pull through it disappointed nobody nobody wants to give up their christmas leaves. there's someone job today. it someone else's job today. it just wasn't legit. do you feel as the is leaner? i mean, as the army is leaner? i mean, people like me just big people like me you just big mouths. guys, bring the army. but don't really know what i'm but i don't really know what i'm talking know, if talking about, you know, mean if we resources we actually got the resources because also keep hearing because i also keep hearing about maybe little about things like maybe a little bit trouble in bit of recruitment trouble in the morale issues maybe the army or morale issues maybe as i mean, can the as well. i mean, can the actually step in and do of actually step in and do all of this stuff? we the numbers i don't know what figures our numbers are. know, though, numbers are. i do know, though, however, every man or woman however, that every man or woman is to up plate will is asked to step up plate will step by the best of their step up by the best of their abilities, the best that they can with what they've got. so in that don't have to worry whether or they cover everybody that or they can cover everybody that walks a huge walks out. it's a huge organisation . they're just organisation. they're not just probably than the army. i probably larger than the army. i don't know the figures are. don't know what the figures are. so, know, they all go so, you know, if they all go there's to be a massive problem

isn't it. yeah no. absolutely. 100. look, fella. thank you 100. look, big fella. thank you much. a pleasure. much. always a pleasure. big phil campion sas trooper phil campion there, sas trooper just the just whizzing you through the fact is being fact that the army is being drafted appear drafted in it would appear anyway to pretty much cover loads of stuff so you've got your drivers be your ambulance drivers they be striking imagine the striking i don't imagine the will in to actual will be brought in to actual cover actual you've got cover actual nurses you've got firefighters as well and of that is coming your way very very shortly although partly i wonder whether or not you feel a bit reassured if you see someone in army uniform towards in army uniform marching towards in your need. i've your hour of need. i've certainly wouldn't your hour of need. i've cerpatrick wouldn't your hour of need. i've cerpatrick christys. wouldn't your hour of need. i've cerpatrick christys. and wouldn't your hour of need. i've cerpatrick christys. and woqup't be patrick christys. and next up . is a big one . and this is a big one actually. i know a lot of you go and there are reports that the government is to use holiday comes accommodate comes to accommodate asylum seekers a option. putting seekers as a option. so putting them potentially them up in hotels potentially even holds as well. what even student holds as well. what do you make of that as the cold nights in i was about nights draw in i was out about a little bit over the weekend it absolutely freezing i one of the first things that strikes is first things that strikes me is how i and foremost i how lucky i first and foremost i get go home somewhere get to go home to somewhere relatively to spend all relatively warm got to spend all day a nice warm. i have day in a nice warm. i have thankfully the ability to go by

okay. i love . breaking news here okay. i love. breaking news here today is no different. we can cross live now to house of commons where shadow health secretary wes streeting is questioning health secretary on the government's preparedness for the nhs strikes. let's it

increase in meaning that over a million nhs staff have been at least a £14 increase in their pay least a £14 increase in their pay and speaker that is on top of a 3% pay rise last year at, a time when the pay was frozen across the wider public sector . across the wider public sector. but mr. speaker, the rcn, one of the unions taking action, is asking for an increase that is 5% above rpi based on the latest figures . 5% above rpi based on the latest figures. that is 5% above rpi based on the latest figures . that is an 5% above rpi based on the latest figures. that is an increase of 19.2% or equivalent of point 5% of the nhs, quite enough to meet such demands. mr. speaker, we would have take money away from clearing the elective backlog . clearing the elective backlog. the honourable gentleman referenced something no responsible government wish to do. now, throughout this period, mr. speaker, we have always sought have a balanced process . sought have a balanced process. now those in the private sector will not be getting a 90% uplift. and there is a clear need to be fair to the wider economy. we've got to avoid inflationary pressures, pressures that would make us all poorer in the end. so, mr.

speaken poorer in the end. so, mr. speaker, we'll continue to listen to colleagues concerns not just about but about many other issues affecting the working lives of in the nhs. we'll work with them to make those improvements in a range of areas from working conditions to patient safety . because we patient safety. because we believe, mr. speaker, there is so much that we can agree strike action is in no one's best interest and we'll keep working. so the nhs continue to be there for those who need it most. the select committee, steve brine mr. speaker, just with your indulgence may i just send our heartfelt sympathies , the heartfelt sympathies, the parents of the little who lost their lives in the westminster tonight and say thank you to the emergency services many whom emergency services many of whom would nhs services, would have been nhs services, who sure done their best for who i'm sure done their best for those who they put out and those who they were unable to save . who they were unable to save. the minister is right that . we the minister is right that. we have an independent peer review process in this country, but it seems that we're coming an interesting junction point on that. either we believe an independent peer review process or we don't. we can't be in a

situation where everything is agreed until it's simply not. and then ministers are negotiating pay. that is not what ministers do on patients. i'm glad the minister at the end of his remarks must keep them as our focus . i of his remarks must keep them as our focus. i have more information about my services over the next few weeks than i do about health services . is the do about health services. is the minister satisfied the patient have enough information about what is being affected and when and how much that will impact on the backlog? because i suspect none of this will help some of those workload pressures that are impacting our nhs. minister mr. speaker, i thank my friend for his question and i echo his comments on the tragic events in solihull, in the voice that lost their lives and the heroic actions of those in the emergency services. he's also right to say that we have an independent pay review body . we independent pay review body. we either agree and accept that thatis either agree and accept that that is the process or we don't. now on advice the public he's

right we more to do in this space. derek are still being worked through both with individual unions and trusts now patient continue to call 999 as normal. if it is emergency, if someone is seriously ill or injured, if they do not life threatening conditions nhs111 ambulances will still responding to 999 calls and if patients have please turn up unless advised to do so . but he's right advised to do so. but he's right to make the point about communicate and i'll be ramping this up when know more about derogations . snp spokesperson derogations. snp spokesperson steve here he thank you very much mr. speaker scotland's first minister this managed in one do one day to do it the tory government could not agree with an option to call off plans stakes these nhs other backbone of these countries. if they don't rock the country doesn't work. and if the country isn't, what can as broke in britain as broken as and brexit has britain

hasn't the tories wouldn't negotiate and labour opposition spokesperson is branded by me as hostile to unions. spokesperson is branded by me as hostile to unions . well in hostile to unions. well in scotland this strikes all you got off permanently mr. speaker on all four of 7.5% has been negotiated and agreed on 11 .2. 4% pay rise for the lowest the board an nhs scotland . why has board an nhs scotland. why has the uk government refused to give a decent pay increase to pubuc give a decent pay increase to public servants when they have all financial power to do here , all financial power to do here, if you ask me? well, well, mr. speaken if you ask me? well, well, mr. speaker, i thank the gentleman for his question. my understanding is industrial action in scotland has been suspended, not cancel it, as the honourable gentleman suggests , honourable gentleman suggests, but they have they have made a considerably higher offer, partly because a politician has got involved in pay negotiations directly, in contrast to the independent pay, review, body and. it will be interesting to see if the first minister of scotland is going to do this

every year and go against recommendations of their pay. everybody perhaps the honourable gentleman compel gentleman would like to compel my can't do it now. my pressure. he can't do it now. mr. speaker, whether they've also looked things like leave also looked at things like leave working and think working times and i think it's important stress thing, important to stress one thing, mr. that for every mr. speaker, that for every 1% increase agenda change increase on the agenda change workforce that equates . to workforce that equates. to aroun d £750 million. that is around £750 million. that is hundred and £50 million that will come out of the nhs that we won't be able to spend on things like tackling the elective backlog, which is so important to people , i'm sure, you know, to people, i'm sure, you know, come , tobias, thank you very come, tobias, thank you very much , mr. speaker. our military much, mr. speaker. our military actually enjoy stepping in when they government department occasionally cannot manage, such as with flooding and so forth, or on the rare occasions that a strike may take place. but what we're seeing here this month is with so sectors choosing to strike exactly at the same time this places a huge burden on our armed forces . could i ask the armed forces. could i ask the minister firstly are all the

units that may be required to mobilise? have they been informed already and is it now if we are going to see strikes in this level for minimal service to be introduced by departments to make sure that are armed forces are not overwhelmed ? so well, mr. overwhelmed? so well, mr. speaken overwhelmed? so well, mr. speaker, representing garrison city of colchester, i nothing but the utmost respect for our armed forces and it hasn't escaped my notice mr. speaker that many of whom are on lower pay that many of whom are on lower pay than nhs staff will be giving up time over christmas to cover strike action . but my cover strike action. but my branch of government is right to mitigate the impact of planned industrial action with the ambulance sector. nhs england have explored a range measures. this includes engaging with the mod on military support and as a contingency. mr. speaker , a contingency. mr. speaker, a macca request for a limited of personnel has been submitted to the media. it was submitted at the media. it was submitted at the end of last week . and the the end of last week. and the plan is, mr. speaker, that armed personnel will be trained , drive personnel will be trained, drive ambulances, but only where

they're needed across the country . thank you, mr. speaker. country. thank you, mr. speaker. the government needs to stop hiding behind pay review body. the pay review body sorts out the distribution of the funding andifs the distribution of the funding and it's the government which determines the size of the envelope. and it's the envelope which is in dispute. so why when the minister get the treasury minister him and make sure they negotiate on the size , the negotiate on the size, the envelope because they can afford member for south—west norfolk, they can them this is well ms. speaker they definitely pay settlements in the private sector range between . 4 to 6% sector range between. 4 to 6% and we want to have a okay right. so that was the house of commons that will quince doing his best to fend off assaults as you could question i suppose from the shadow health minister , it essentially centres around of course the government preparedness, lack of preparedness, lack of preparedness like nhs preparedness for things like nhs strikes. well collins is strikes. well what collins is trying to say there is we did offer them relatively decent pay

rises view course. of rises in his view course. but of course to nowhere near course it comes to nowhere near . the 19.2, that is, for example, and are after interesting well that sir keir starmer is also said that those things are unaffordable . and things are unaffordable. and tobias ellwood popping up on another thing we've going to be talking about throughout the course show about the army stepping help cover for stepping in to help cover for ambulance some ambulance drivers just some dates your really case dates for your diary really case you're of getting any you're thinking of getting any point the coming days nurses point in the coming days nurses will be as we understand it will be off as we understand it from 15 20th. some nurses from the 15 to 20th. some nurses and ambulance workers, which includes handlers , etc, includes call handlers, etc, they'll be off on the 21st and they'll be off on the 21st and the 28th as things currently stand, we're going to be returning to throughout the course of this show . but we are course of this show. but we are also to be as well discussing of the wider economic impacts . the wider economic impacts. there's loads to come actually, because on many occasions on this show we've discussed like the challenges the government is facing on illegal facing on housing, illegal immigrants or asylum seekers as across the channel is putting people into hotels that's costing around people into hotels that's costing aroun d £6 million per

costing around £6 million per day . it was costing around £6 million per day. it was being reported that the is now expected day. it was being reported that th

it'll go down less badly than using some fairly prime city centre hotels. for instance , centre hotels. for instance, three cities i know recently off peterborough and stoke on trent and then each case, the flagship traditional hotel in that city, the railway station is either a to be used or being used to house channel migrants. so to be used or being used to house channel migrants . so the house channel migrants. so the government three things. holiday camps tend be slightly further out of town this be all right and former university halls of residence too. but just wonder about that. well first chances i think you've got to have a contrast between the previous yeah. who were british people working class families is going for a holiday camp holiday saving up all year to do so our young students are often paying through the nose to go into student halls and. we've got thousands of young men coming who've never paid a pound . the who've never paid a pound. the national kitchen. i get the

look. i get that out . but yeah, look. i get that out. but yeah, i mean, for me , fundamental i mean, for me, fundamental issue is that i can't help but feel that we're being lied to go now. well know we're going to use these now to reduce costs in hotels, but it's not because we're still using this is double bubble older seeker front bubble on the older seeker front isn't it. because actually what this is an admission that this is now is an admission that in the majority of areas in the vast majority of areas where are full we're where hotels are full of, we're using many or local using far many hotels or local councils starting to get up councils are starting to get up in arms that potentially in arms that could potentially in arms that could potentially in case of the morecambe and in the case of the morecambe and long is local councillor long area is a local councillor rightly there's an rightly said there's an inevitable conflict brewing here and so what they're thinking of doing is oh well use doing is oh well we'll use houday doing is oh well we'll use holiday camps as well . it's the doing is oh well we'll use holseason�*nps as well . it's the doing is oh well we'll use holseason to s as well . it's the doing is oh well we'll use holseason to be, well . it's the doing is oh well we'll use holseason to be, but.l . it's the doing is oh well we'll use holseason to be, but it. it's the doing is oh well we'll use holseason to be, but it won't1e off season to be, but it won't be offices and i'll be be the offices and i'll be sitting here in talking about how normal, ordinary working class get a class brits cannot get a place for no money butlin's for love. no money at butlin's because with because it's overflowing with asylum seekers seekers . i fear asylum seekers seekers. i fear you are correct about that , you are correct about that, patrick. i mean, we look at last year's figure through the whole year's figure through the whole year of 28,000 channel migrants and people said that was horrendous and it was a massive

rise, i think, of 20,000 on the year before. but now as we sit here, we already through 4000 with three weeks of the year left , it looks like we're with three weeks of the year left, it looks like we're going to stop at 48,000. another increase. so the government hasn't got this under control and i think you're right. the bafic and i think you're right. the basic point is they're looking for any accommodation of any description. they can find anywhere. and is going to rebound on british. no not true i saw is backwards yeah very quietly very finally on this one i saw an advert for a particular charity on one of the tubes. i was on this morning about homelessness and it said homelessness and it said homeless people are something like four times more likely be victims of violence than they can't even do the sleeping bags up because if they do, then it takes longer for them to get out with someone trying to the head in after a night out or set fires to a sleeping bag and all this stuff. if this is such a big problem which everyone acknowledges. isn't it remarkable? to able

remarkable? we seem to be able to find just holiday inns to find not just holiday inns houday to find not just holiday inns holiday people who've holiday camps for people who've just and as we just come the channel and as we know, increasing of know, an increasing of those people indeed asylum seekers people not indeed asylum seekers it i'm afraid i it certainly is i'm afraid i think most people got to visit with this conservative government where they hear all the latest stunts they're going to go in for and it's safest to conclude in advance if it's something that would be effective. they and if effective. they do it and if it's something they're going to, it's something they're going to, it's to effective . it's not going to be effective. and until my eyes prove me wrong, that's , i'm afraid, the wrong, that's, i'm afraid, the rather cynical view i take of this conservative government on this conservative government on this issue. well, i think you're well within your eyes party. i think you're well within your rights because you've said you can see it before your very eyes. and i'm sick and tired being told that i can see being told that what i can see my own eyes is some kind warped reality. when fact it's true. patrick, very much. patrick, thank you very much. patrick, thank you very much. patrick that journalist patrick flynn, that journalist and former a pay i am waiting by the way for the inevitable clash between the unions and who are the refugees. welcome brigade . the refugees. welcome brigade. when you start looking at the amount money amount of

amount of money and amount of resources divided, resources that were divided, people crossing the channel and other and thinking about, other means and thinking about, well, enough well, we haven't got enough money pay rise. well, money to give a pay rise. well, at point have to give, at some point have got to give, hasn't it? but anyway, sticking with money. business, economy grew by nought point percent between september and. october, that according office that is according to the office for national statistics. the increase is being explained largely by an increase in spending with the unplanned bank houday spending with the unplanned bank holiday the queen's funeral holiday for the queen's funeral as well. but economists was still on course for recession by the end of the year , the economy the end of the year, the economy giveth and the taketh away. well, following figures being announced, chancellor jeremy hunt said the economy will get worse before it gets better . worse before it gets better. always the bearer of good news. let's get more on this and indeed talk a little bit about. the unions as well with our very own halligan , our economics own liam halligan, our economics and all and business etiquette. with all the money . well, initially to the money. well, initially to lay people like me, it looked like good news. a nought point 5% economic boost . it isn't. it 5% economic boost. it isn't. it isn't that . let's just have a

isn't that. let's just have a look at a graphic here. gb news radio listeners will have to bear me. in october, gdp was up 0.5% on the month before . on 0.5% on the month before. on september. but in september of course, we have that extra bank holiday, as you said, meant a little bit of extra spending, but it meant a lot less production. so gdp was slow in september . it production. so gdp was slow in september. it made production. so gdp was slow in september . it made october look september. it made october look good. that's why you've got an increase in october. but the bigger picture, patrick i'm afraid, is august, september, october as a whole. we call that the third quarter of the economy , the third three month block of the economy, gdp was down 0.3. and if we look at the slide, we'll see that the bank england is now predicting in final quarter of 2022. that's october, november december, gdp face will go down again. now you've got two successive quarters of economic contraction. that is the textbook definition of a recession . they don't come along recession. they don't come along very often , but the bank of very often, but the bank of england says we're going to be in recession . and now with gdp

in recession. and now with gdp contracting for a while and that massively politics in particular the battle between the government, employers on the one hand and trade unions on the other. yeah, and i'm glad that you've seamlessly almost like we planned it businesses seamlessly let us onto this thing because right quite in right now you are quite in demand it comes your views demand when it comes your views on your expert on all this in your expert insights and wisdom, when comes to the union and the problems going ahead not just for the tory so yeah, been tory party. so yeah, i've been writing about quite a writing about this quite a lot. obviously a theme here obviously it's a huge theme here on it me that obviously on gb news. it me that obviously there is going to be the public's patience this is going to be tested. it already is but in the run up to christmas and into january and beyond there will be more industrial action . will be more industrial action. and how does the government play this? it has to say when it negotiating, but we can't give away all this money because then you get what we call a wage price spiral. so they keep giving more wages out of the pubuc giving more wages out of the public purse . that can be public purse. that can be inflationary. that up wages,

more inflation , you get the more inflation, you get the upward spiral we have the late 19705 upward spiral we have the late 1970s but how the labour play patrick this is the really interesting thing me we're seeing signs the labour frontbench trying to kind of calibrate between it's natural almost support for trade unions and an acknowledgement that the public's is going to be tested, not least when you've got life saver public services being put on hold. industrial action with nurses potentially doctors. they want a 26% pay rise ambulance . want a 26% pay rise ambulance. drivers as well as your train drivers and your highway workers and your postal workers and all the rest of it. so you have you have west streeting. now, who is the very canny health shadow health secretary and a lot of people look at him potentially a leader in the future he is presenting himself not as the trade unions champion, but the patients champion against the trade unions in the health care sector. you've got keir starmer saying that some of these trade

union demands are unaffordable . union demands are unaffordable. the reality is though that labour gets millions of pounds every year off the trade unions. a third of the votes on. its ruling national executive committee are trade unions, half delegates at labour conference are unions. you know this is obviously bad for the government you've all these strikes but it may be as the strikes go on and let's labour play it very carefully. yeah it could be bad for labour when rishi sunak if he in laws in january and february try and clamp down on trade union strike activity if it's health workers of the pubuc it's health workers of the public might say i think that's good idea. yeah but if keir starmer and the labour frontbench have to sort of instinctively backed the trade unions , it could cause trouble unions, it could cause trouble for them. it's not just me saying this, you can see wes streeting positioning himself even at the weekend. lord david, the former health secretary labour cabinet legend from the blair and brown era, he was warning that unless labour show

themselves to push back a bit themselves to push back a bit the trade unions, it could them some electoral damage. i 100% say well labour honest becky wicket when it comes to stuff liam thank very much as ever liam thank very much as ever liam halligan our economics and business editor those other article that was written in the sun actually by trevor kavanagh i this morning which i saw it this morning which i thought was bang on the as thought was bang on the money as well, that basically well, which is that basically look, sympathy look, there's public sympathy people go strike people who want to go on strike to money, especially to more money, especially nurses, when nurses, etc. but actually when patients start dying and the reality that comes to reality of that comes to fruition, especially as the cold comes around, people think will change their views. i think people will start to think, well, actually, hang on a minute. in practical, is this morally justified? and there we have it. but anyway, your views vaiews@gbnews.uk don't know. no loads. have you been getting in touch on the variety of stories that smokers border strikes? are we going be treated the we going to be treated to in the coming? jay says . you if coming? jay says. do you know if it is to volunteer to it is possible to volunteer to out within the nhs, join the strikes? would be good strikes? that would be a good idea. will be more than happy idea. i will be more than happy to drive, clean up or do

whatever well, was whatever required. well, it was interesting a lot of interesting because a lot of people during people could volunteer during the wonder the covid crisis. now wonder whether do it whether or not they can do it now. you might be called a scab though for the picket though for breaking the picket lines. fascinating. i'm lines. it's fascinating. i'm going talking little bit going to be talking a little bit later a chap who is big later on to a chap who is big pro socialist workers policy. all stuff, how he feels about the involved the army getting involved says when the military out to replace striking workers should be paid their own salary plus. the salary of which should salary of strikers which should made hopefully is help made tax free hopefully is help with morale and show strikers. what for ? yeah, fascinating what for? yeah, fascinating stuff. i know that is a massive range of views when it to the strikes a lot of people saying okay well look we have a lot of sympathy for people who maybe have underpaid for a long have been underpaid for a long time. inflation is massively exacerbated take home for exacerbated take home pay for various people, nurses especially ones . but especially emotive ones. but like said, i can't but like i've said, i can't help but feel people see actual feel when people see actual reality of this, people being able to get treated, ambulances not on time and the knock on effect that which i'm sorry, no one can convince me. otherwise i will lead to death if he didn't

on the streets there are indeed homeless veterans as well although why now keep banging on about why not? about them? but why not? i suspect there's got be some strong to go to strong views. i want to go to your when i come back as your emails when i come back as well, going to be well, because it's going to be very views on both of very strong views on both of those the strikes and of course, whether or not holiday camps should now house should be used to now house asylum what the rest. asylum seekers. what the rest. i'll back a moment. boats, a helicopter and drones was still going on last night

for two others feared dead in solihull in the west midlands, a tragic and devastating story. the independent next minister has refused plea from nurses for pay has refused plea from nurses for pay talks . government accused of pay talks. government accused of dangerous attitude of these issues head on. but is it really the job of footballers to make the world a better place? don't we watch football for escape to watch 22 men, all women, kick a pig's bladder around for 90 minutes. why has harry kane now got to double up around for 90 minutes. why has hotel if this is one of the

fascinating stories , if you've fascinating stories, if you've been following the england team, they know that there is speaking for you so when you go on houday for you so when you go on holiday are stray animals and this was still the case here in and they adopted stray cat who started out called feral

okay back, everybody. i've got some more breaking news for you. this is very breaking. it's literally happened in the last few seconds because members of the rmt network rail have rejected latest pay offer and will go ahead with 248 hour strikes this, the first walkout is set to start tomorrow . is set to start tomorrow. network rail had offered a 5%

pay network rail had offered a 5% pay rise for year and that was backdated to january. so it's was basically a year with another percent at the start of 2023 and a guarantee of no compulsion , job losses until. compulsion, job losses until. january 20, 25 the rmt executive reckoned that its members rejected this offer , saying that rejected this offer, saying that it was linked to significant changes to working practises i'm going to give you some figures now on the amount people who voted in vote and also the amount of people who rejected it. so the rmt said 63.6% of their members voted to reject network's rail offer and that was 83% turnout. so 83% of their members rejected voted sorry and 63.6% of them rejected it. that we got some numbers for anyway. there's lots to get stuck in to that. how do you feel about the fact that essentially what they voted is no compulsory voted to reject is no compulsory job i on the

job losses 2025? i think on the face it, people would think, face of it, people would think, all right, no compulsory job losses guaranteed a job essentially until 2025. and then there's a initial 5% pay rise back dated for the course of this entire year, plus another 4% to start in 2023. that, of course, would equate to 9. i know my market is great, but there you are. it doesn't quite cover rate of inflation, but it's not about star. interesting. so because another way of reading it would be to just 10 to 40% of the 83% who bother turn out to vote presumably were with that deal, but they would go . so we're but they would go. so we're picking the bones out of that one rather a lot. that is the breaking news. and what do you make of it? vaiews@gbnews.uk but we are set to see driving ambulances to cover, striking nhs staff potentially as is something that ministers are currently discussing . so right currently discussing. so right now ministers are locked in talks. there's a cobra taking place to decide or not or indeed how the military is going to be roped to in solve the nhs . all

roped to in solve the nhs. all strikes have some breaking news for you there about the ramsay's so that's you real news those strikes just place from tomorrow after the rejected what is in the round roughly a 9% offer 5% of that backdated to the end of this year. but importantly, i think for me, there i'm reading these figures live with you so that we get over 40% of them, roughly just under 40, actually said they would have said that they would have taken this that's interesting this deal. so that's interesting . but also, as we know now, the army is going be relative. army is going to be relative. what's going on and what's been going on our nhs and thatis what's been going on our nhs and that is discussions that that is the discussions that we're expecting the upshot we're also expecting the upshot of course this year. stay of the course this year. so stay tuned stop tuned because they'll stop shop for striking for your latest striking news, a series of strikes is set to underway tomorrow. rail workers are to postal workers are going to out. postal workers will day strike from will hold a day strike from wednesday staff to hold wednesday at. nhs staff to hold a day of action on third day. there's a lot actually the government has said around 2000 army staff, civil and volunteers all training for various roles, including on bus drivers and firefighters. i've had a few emails in from diligent viewers , listeners saying, hey patrick, it's not just the army.

potentially the raaf the navy potentially the raaf in the navy will as well, if will be involved as well, if that's true. yet i'll look that's true. yet fine, i'll look into but it's not the into that. but it's not the first the armed have first time the armed forces have been happened before been in. it's happened before when was facing a winter when labour was facing a winter of union discontent. as sir michael graydon is the former chief of air staff for the raaf can explain. thank you very much. so to great you on the show. so it's a kind of juggle things about that, but we had as ever this a little bit of ever on this a little bit of breaking immediately we breaking news immediately we were go into a topic. were going to go into a topic. so i'll get you on what you're booked on to about booked on to talk about initially anyway is the army or the i be the military think i should be saying trying to saying roped into trying to handle nurse is try the nhs handle the nurse is try the nhs strike on ambulance strikes are you a little bit miffed that the military are having to do this? is the government on the military too much here ? this is military too much here? this is nothing new in you've touched on the winter discontent i'll come back to that it seems to be the closest parallel to what we're confronting today . but i would confronting today. but i would remind your viewers and

listeners that the using the military in what's called the military in what's called the military aid to the civilian authority is subject happens quite regularly cast your mind to the olympics when it an absolute military step disordered it tossed it back to the mad cow problem the army in particular. but all the services sorted that out pretty quickly. disaster relief . the military disaster relief. the military are on standby for that. and really quickly , of course, really quickly, of course, lockerbie, you'll remember , and lockerbie, you'll remember, and the migrants as well. so there's nothing new in this. but let's go back to winter of discontent which i remember, particularly because was commanding a fighter squadron at the time and, had a particularly rough winter and. i had about 15 to 20% of my people away. i was holding what was called quick reaction alert that is a ten minute standby, two intercept aircraft . but we did intercept aircraft. but we did it and i remember very well going to see my people who were

driving ambulances fire engines and collecting at the time and one of the points that they made was that actually the that they were the substitute acting for were the substitute acting for were getting paid rather more than they were and which found a little ironic to say least. well, this is a massive topic andindeed well, this is a massive topic and indeed a point is well worth raising , because and indeed a point is well worth raising, because as we have just learned and apparently, according to reports that were just that the rmt and their members reject members have voted to reject what at least appears to be from network anyway. a 5% pay increase backdated from january followed by a 4% pay increase, presumable from this january, as we understand , couple with no we understand, couple with no compulsory job losses until 2025, maybe up to the army who've got the worst conditions here. i dare say that military maybe would have voted in favour of those kind of conditions. your views . well, in in that in your views. well, in in that in the seventies, the winter of

discontent at that time just look at that situation . the look at that situation. the basically the unions at the time were pushing very hard in an every direction. and a lot of people were getting jolly good pay people were getting jolly good pay rises except the military. i can't remember where the police were getting it. but let me tell you that the military were not and the big change for the military because they were very underpaid the time i heard underpaid at the time i heard a number of my people a lot of people who out there working on ambulances, agencies on supplementary benefits because they weren't actually being enough when the government when order thatcher came she gave the pay order thatcher came she gave the pay rise that probably we would of no doubt we were generously treated by margaret but she recognised that we had been treated very badly at that time. i don't think that then and i've read that people say the military, they're not wanting to do this, not my experience. i think the military will more than be ready to this in the

what is basically a national emergency and i think they will continue to do yeah i absolutely and i have also been getting a lot of emails from people saying what are you doing? questioning the idea that mills should be able there's no question able do it. there's no question of idea that will be able to of the idea that will be able to do it. i suppose it's a question of whether or not they should be doing the first and doing it in the first place. and whether actually would whether or they actually would want there we go. look want to. but there we go. look thank much, sir thank you very, very much, sir uncle grayling, that former chief of asked for the raaf, but i you to speak to this i want you to speak to this particular becoming a particular is fast becoming a regular channel and regular here the channel and indeed show because indeed on this show because i wanted to the union's wanted to get the union's perspective of this rob perspective on all of this rob williams the socialist party williams is the socialist party organiser and indeed trade organiser and indeed a trade unionist. to see again, unionist. good to see you again, rob. very. difficult rob. thank you very. difficult to today to know what stories today because that breaking because we have that breaking news 30 seconds news literally about 30 seconds to i to your angle to go. but i want to your angle on the army. are you a bit annoyed that the army is stepping the military stepping into the military stepping into the military stepping do you they stepping in? do you think they should holding the picket should be holding the picket line the workers, line with you, the workers, they are workers. can are undermining workers. i can imagine who are most

imagine the people who are most is army, troops . and is the army, is the troops. and actually, think they were actually, i think they were think they had a pay rise of than 4% cent. there's a argument is that shouldn't a rank and file members of the army be allowed the chance to join the trade? isn't the issue you is that the government committed today ? we are doing a total today? we are doing a total ministers are meeting they've got two choices here and they can continue talking about the army taking these services. they can talk more anti—union legislation or they could do what they be doing and what they'd been advised to do in some of the media. and that is come to a resolute of these disputes because they argue, yeah, well, well , in disputes because they argue, yeah, well, well, in a disputes because they argue, yeah, well, well , in a nutshell. yeah, well, well, in a nutshell. yes. but also it doesn't solve the issue because they would argue indeed. they can argue now, can't they? they've the network rail have offered the rmt and their members their chance of a backdated 5% pay rise from last january . also rise from last january. also offered them apparently 4% pay rise going forward this january onwards, plus confirmation will

be no compulsory jobless until 25. and from what i can see , the 25. and from what i can see, the figures coming to you roughly speaking about 37% of the people who bothered to vote , only 83% who bothered to vote, only 83% turn out, 37% of them said that they would acquire fancied. i tell you well patrick you're great mind i mean to say and 83% only an 83. do you know what we are? 100? no for your money. i mean, i've even run out of if i had a very long payoff history that do you what i wouldn't get a councillor elected in this country on anything over 30% probably yes. the point is that that deal as you've is to the absolute credit that they reject it. that's what the union recommended the pay rises you're talking don't forget we're talking don't forget we're talking about pay raises that really over two years that's what we talked about inflation patrick is over 40% it's a eyewatering it's catastrophic

yet people saw what the big issue is. you know, can i just make this point is that the government has been telling us all along on date that they're not involved in these disputes . not involved in these disputes. there's a good evidence to suggest that the government were part of pulling the deal in on the rails on royal mail yesterday the leaders of the nursing unions said to the government, look if you come and talk to us and negotiate with us, we will discuss with you about pulling or suspend doing that action to allow negotiations . we couldn't you negotiations. we couldn't you couldn't to get government ministers the telly saying, we do want to people we'll be this programme. i will know that this tory government is awfully responsible for the action has taken place . okay rob it's taken place. okay rob it's rather annoying . i'm not allowed rather annoying. i'm not allowed to have more time with you because i will always thoroughly enjoy our shots. but there we go. unfortunately have to go. rob so we thank you very much. he says his policy industrial organiser indeed a trade

dangerous attitude as walkouts loom also meet ukraine's secret weapon behind enemy lines. ordinary citizens are risking their lives to help fight back against russia harry kane now got to double up as the archbishop of canterbury or the chief rabbi as a spiritual leader of or the chief rabbi as a started out called feral but is now used to this sort of millionaire lifestyle. so they're going to take them home. they want to take them the kitchen. what a happy scoring happy story for any cats watching this. that's kind of how many said it was britain can

start start a new life as a as a on the front pages . don't know. on the front pages. don't know. but join us in a couple of minutes where we'll be discussing bailiff body bad performance reviews and why you've no longer got an excuse not to visit ukraine parents well, welcome back, everybody. we've got loads to cram in now for the next 20 minutes or so of this hour , not least because we this hour, not least because we have some breaking news earlier on the rmt that members have rejected a pay deal anyway. the trade secretary travelled to new delhi talks on

delhi today to revive talks on a free trade between the uk and india. was very controversial. this trade deal. going to this trade deal. i'm going to pick one kemi badenoch is aiming to strengthen ties between the two and we'll two countries and we'll meet with and business with indian and business leaders. negotiations are leaders. well negotiations are expected to focus on a deal to cut tariffs and open opportunities for the uk financial and legal service . financial and legal service. they are due to last through the week on the first formal round of talks since july. but we will all remember there was rather a lot attached this deal, wasn't it? because for a while there was even talk of something like basically like a freedom of movement deal being lobbed in with it to india. with it when it came to india. joining me now is sunil sharma. he's officer he's the chief operating officer of the friends of the commonwealth. so no, thank you very some will be very much. some people will be looking now. i'm going looking at this now. i'm going to it that kemi to minute. is it true that kemi badenoch that she's not badenoch decided that she's not going talk about things, like going to talk about things, like student visas this deal? that student visas in this deal? that appears line to appears to be a red line to indians before. but i know lot indians before. but i know a lot of press thinking, well, we don't a trade all don't need a trade deal at all costs. yeah i don't think

they'll be discussing about sort of freedom of movement between the two countries. i think geographic makes no sense for both countries. i think strengthening ties , trade and strengthening ties, trade and trade alone, that in itself is largely complex. i think that require there's a lot a lot of time. is it great for india and us and i hope they focus on that specific area . you look at china specific area. you look at china the last and a bit years that such an opportunity for india to almost be that for china similar to us in that they are a democracy also have a massive population have the capacity to have sort of having an incredible operations we've seen apple move lot of their factories from china to india . factories from china to india. so i hope that they the focus is on as opposed to visas , movement on as opposed to visas, movement of people . and the reason why is of people. and the reason why is relevant is because trade deal famously stalled not long ago and it is widely believed one of the main sticking points on it was, the fact that we supposedly

anyway were prepared to them something like a free movement deal or certainly when it came to student visas, etc. but this is important, isn't it? i think for the government to actually get some sorted here to get this done because they need a win, don't they ? actually a massive don't they? actually a massive bumper trade with india would be the definitely and be honest, it should be a fairly easy one in some ways. like we're both democracies, we're both, you know, just so much shared history values between the two countries. narendra modi can countries. in narendra modi can see as a massive move towards see it as a massive move towards towards being closer with the uk and us and generally the west for a long time, india's allies have been soviet union, russia and ours has been more towards pakistan. so there's always been that almost a subtle of rivalry between the two countries. that hasn't always been very cohesive strategy . i would say right now strategy. i would say right now this is the best relationship the two countries have had maybe since india's independence, in particular when boris johnson it was fantastic in breaking down

the barrier between two countries. so it's a really good opportunity now for almost you to that credit and to take of that credit and really do a nice easy trade too , because like i said, these are two countries that want to work closely. so i don't perceive this as being too difficult. the visa stuff is very interesting and i think , i hope that it and i think, i hope that it doesn't become the main talking point between the two countries. if it's about taking some of their brightest and best students from india, which we already do in a very brilliant capacity that i'm 100% all or for that. well, they should continue. but this is one of the things that i couldn't quite get my head around on, my head around earlier on, whether or that's just whether or not that's just because bit thick, mean, because i'm a bit thick, i mean, there is that. but there is always that. but i would have thought if was the would have thought if i was the indian government, trying indian government, i be trying to the uk of being in to accuse the uk of being in some way racist or bit ill judged allowing judged for allowing student visas . plus because visas over here. plus because with a view to remain i if i was the indian government be quite locking lot of my indian shooters and the shooters the best and the brightest be going and getting a first rate education over here in united and then coming

in the united and then coming back you back home. so they can, you know, employ that trait over here. there a here. so there isn't a brain drain out india. so i thought drain out of india. so i thought that a really interesting that was a really interesting dynamic it dynamic thing because before it seemed to be saying, well, actually racist if actually you're a bit racist if you them to stay, you don't want them to stay, i would've thought the indians would've thought the indians would have wanted them to go back.i would have wanted them to go back. i think that is yeah, i agree. i think it is a bit bizarre and i think what's interesting, students interesting, the indian students staying a you know staying is there is a you know because generally we look at brits, indians and indians in this they perform very this country, they perform very well. all well. if you do all the properties they outperform even british people, whoever it's economics this of this economics, all this sort of this is the racism makes no sense is why the racism makes no sense whatsoever , because every single whatsoever, because every single parameter doesn't . but then parameter doesn't. but then what's about what's interesting about the student particular we are student in particular is we are seeing lot of get student seeing lot of who get student visas and actually then skip out on education. so don't follow through with the whole visa strip they go for skilled strip and they go for skilled worker they end up worker visas where they end up staying, which i'll be honest, it's necessarily worst it's not necessarily the worst thing the world because they often filling see often will be filling see a shortage where some shortage where maybe some british don't necessarily british people don't necessarily want taking

want job. they end up taking again their contribution to the economy. so i'm all for that sort of stuff, giving us free sort of stuff, giving us a free pass to indians coming. i think it's part of that negotiation. i don't think it's anything more that we need to be here. that i think we need to be here. status possible ? yeah. i mean, status possible? yeah. i mean, we'll be keeping a close eye on that. so, neal, thank you very much. tony sharma, chief operating the operating officer for the conservative friends of commonwealth. india commonwealth. there is the india trade are currently trade deal. talks are currently ongoing about knock trade deal. talks are currently ongherg about knock trade deal. talks are currently ongher counterpart about knock trade deal. talks are currently ongher counterpart over)out knock trade deal. talks are currently ongher counterpart over there nock on her counterpart over there a lot of things for people will be about whether and frankly about whether or not and frankly includes of visa free includes some of visa free travel would argue travel some would argue and exploitation or immigration system. wait system. but we'll have to wait and. see, the uk economy will get worse before it gets better, said jeremy hunt this said chancellor jeremy hunt this morning following signs of britain towards britain heading towards a recession. despite this, i can't say apparently recession that we got this my from the office for national statistics showing that the actually grew 0.5% the economy actually grew 0.5% between september and october. but is this the true picture? everybody cares about the money in their pocket. we've got loads coming your way about the coming your way about more the fruity flowers this stuff about margaret staying holiday

margaret staying in holiday about harry and meghan's latest trailer but really quite literally, let's get down to brass tacks this joining me in the studio at liam halligan economics and business editor on the money . right leon russell is the money. right leon russell is through the numbers please while i try and clear my throat. but it doesn't just back on earth. so the numbers that came out this morning, gdp gross domestic product, the all transactions in the economy in october the economy actually grew compared to september despite all the doom and gloom but that was mainly because in september we have the extra bank holiday , have the extra bank holiday, which meant that the september number was lower than it otherwise would have been. the bigger picture , patrick, is the bigger picture, patrick, is the august, september, october we call the third quarter. the economy actually by 0.3. it's likely to for the next three months to the november , months to the november, december, january, according to the bank of england . and that the bank of england. and that means are now technically in means we are now technically in recession. if that happens,

that's not a great. on the other hand, unemployment is pretty low. this happening across the world. the us already in recession, the world's biggest a lot of the big european economies are in recession too. so i think jeremy hunt on this occasion is correct when he says the economic outlook is probably going to get a bit worse before it gets better. but it's important to have context. i think been lacking for a lot of the throughout the course the media throughout the course of especially it of all this, especially when it came this just in consequence came to this just in consequence as globally, the global as well globally, the global picture do picture we learned to do ourselves. no in ourselves. no prisons in recession. is terrible recession. britain is terrible at abject mess that at the absolute abject mess that we've everything. we've made of everything. what is the point to picture? because it like everyone else is it sounds like everyone else is not we're in the not in. we're actually in the middle the pack of big middle of the pack of the big western economies in particular our actually our inflation is actually slightly the moment than slightly lower the moment than the eurozone unemployment is certainly lower than all the other big european economies. so it feels bad and i'm not going to suggest that a lot of people aren't suffering. they are. but this is definitely a global

phenomenon . what i would say, phenomenon. what i would say, patrick, is throughout this week, in the run up to christmas , got quite a lot of economic data we've the data coming. we've got the inflation number on wednesday. inflation is currently 11.1. i actually it might tick actually think it might tick down a little bit . the november down a little bit. the november inflation number we'll to see important the next day, thursday , you've got the bank of england making its final or decision of 2022 on interest rates. think back the beginning of this year in january, the bank of england's interest rate was 0.25. a culture of 1% is now 3. yes, because that's they were on lockdown. emergency levels in interest rates now 3. it could go interest rates now 3. it could 9° up interest rates now 3. it could go up to about three and a half percent later this week. and that will push up on mortgage costs. and if you've got personal loans, but actually , if personal loans, but actually, if you talk to me like two weeks ago, we would have said inflate interest rates would have gone up even more this coming thursday . so it seems as if thursday. so it seems as if inflation be abating a little

bit and it seems as if the bank of england be pushing up interest rates as fast as otherwise would have been. but borrowing costs are still going up. liam, thank you very much. as i have a halligan now as i have a liam halligan now economics business editor economics and business editor with right. we're with on the right. okay. we're moving and talking moving away from now and talking about oh , here it was about oh, here we go. it was just a matter of moments, wasn't it, that to read out the it, that i have to read out the names meghan, happening names and meghan, it's happening all over again. harry and meghan then docu it's then netflix docu series it's been h then netflix docu series it's been it and it been released bits of it and it seems the final three episodes are controversial based are far more controversial based on trailer. oh, i'm on the latest trailer. oh, i'm not to a trailer not going to watch a trailer again by you. let's have a look at a lesson that wasn't being thrown to the wolves. i was being fed to the wolves. they were actively recruiting people , disseminate disinformation . , disseminate disinformation. they're happy to, lie to protect my brother . they were never my brother. they were never willing to tell the truth . willing to tell the truth. protect us . oh and let's add dry protect us. oh and let's add dry . okay. so joining me now is royal historian and broadcaster rafe heydel—mankoo. rafe, thank you very much . so from what

you very much. so from what i can gather , he's basically can gather, he's basically saying that brother has a favoured status, which presumably is because he's going to be taking on diet. and how many times that has to be explained to in his own book is called space. we must have got it through his at some it through his skull at some point and that. yeah think point and that. yeah i think royal gaslighting did royal family of gaslighting did he all to me right he explain it all to me right yes well spare maybe title i think spare me is really the reaction i have to all these trailers that we've seen mean i'm just glad that her majesty the queen isn't around to see this, you know, to see her own grandson betray her memory , her grandson betray her memory, her family. and of course , family. and of course, institution that's given him and, his wife, everything. and upon which that current continued continues to rest and from which they clearly continue profit to a great degree . but, profit to a great degree. but, you know, watching this trailer , i could really understand why harry and meghan got so panicked after the queen died unexpectedly. i know whether you remember in the autumn we were told that they were trying to do

desperately get netflix to delay the of this documentary or to cut bits of it because . i cut bits out of it because. i think they felt it went too far, but they didn't have that final say and can see why netflix would want go ahead. because would want to go ahead. because if trade anything go by if the trade is anything go by there quite explore there are some quite explore joseph there as said joseph stuff there as said meghan saying that she wasn't being thrown to the wolves, she was being fed to the wolves. spare me once again institutional gaslighting. can you imagine that accusing buckingham palace of doing that and you know this nausea , and you know this nausea, tourism and self—pity that just is embarrassing i wonder. and harry asks, i what would have happened to us had not got out when we did. well i can tell you the answer to that, harry. nothing would have happened. everything would carried on the same except in world same except in fantasy world that you and meghan have created . yeah. and we saw some headunesin . yeah. and we saw some headlines in that trailer about with the queen in it. you know queen orders the queen orders that and frankly i mean the reviews that i could see online from the previous episodes were absolutely catastrophic i mean,

i think even the guardian only gave it three stars. you would imagine, pretty much imagine, meghan pretty much shares actually shares and she doesn't actually don't see me meghan flip anyway right that's the case and right but that's the case and now they've got coming out and potentially really dishing it out you want to just out the queen you want to just know i mean how to make yourself into pariahs and then it's just going what the world's going to be what the world's for. it was told to look at it from this perspective. which from this perspective. we which is at what point is is the actually at what point is meghan maybe it meghan going to go maybe it isn't everybody else's fault . isn't everybody else's fault. well known for a long time right that meghan is a delusional drama queen . but what's really drama queen. but what's really unfortunate is that she through this documentary series, i think how far harry has been willing to go along with seeing his family, traduced in this manner and sort of saw his reaction cringing slightly on camera when meghan mockingly did a curtsy. and you can see that, you know , and you can see that, you know, that he was in a bit of a dilemma over that, but he has this complete lack self—awareness. look this country, the commonwealth, are going one of the most

going through one of the most difficult times in modern history. millions people suffering from the after—effects covid, a cost of living crisis, health and health care is desperate. mental trauma is very difficult at this time because of all of these factors. and here we have this privilege , here we have this privilege, pampered donnas pampered prima donnas complaining about for sympathy over the most trivial of matches when actually most of us would gladly trade our lodging to have the life of luxury that they lead absolutely . i know i've for lead absolutely. i know i've for a long time said that i think prince harry be a psychologist field data therapists field day. i'm starting to wonder whether or not meghan markle will know it's and when do i get meghan markle obviously it's as well can you imagine having living in meghan's world? but there we go. right. thank very much, rafe heydel—mankoo. is royal heydel—mankoo. there is royal historian and broadcaster just historian and broadcasterjust reacting as indeed i was the latest trial over talking about that to get a bit later but it's painful. it's painful to be discussing this next as discussing this next story as i was rather hoping that today discussing this next story as i was ra ber hoping that today discussing this next story as i

was ra be england'siat today discussing this next story as i was ra be england's chances of would be england's chances of reaching the cup final instead , reaching the cup final instead, discussion has shifted to whether southgate can or whether gareth southgate can or indeed will continue as the team manager following the quarterfinal defeat to france on saturday, southgate said he would and would take time, review and reflect deciding whether reflect before deciding whether to on his role . he's now to carry on his role. he's now saying that he's conflicted about his future, having found large parts last months large parts, the last 18 months differed , somewhat argue that he differed, somewhat argue that he did bring that on himself slightly by getting involved in some see what some issues. but let's see what sports aidan magee sports broadcaster aidan magee makes. you very what a makes. i think you very what a really situation at the really bizarre situation at the moment where england at least paper under—performing on a world cup but possibly a i'm fab yeahi world cup but possibly a i'm fab yeah i don't see in england manager to stay manager being back to stay i wouldn't necessarily say becky to i mean there are plenty of people out there who as people out there who act as detractors to gareth southgate's reign. also say the reign. i would also say the problem that besetting and right now not being able get past calibre opponents in either a world cup or a european championship finals is something that's beset previous masses for decades and decades. england

flat track but police on the international stage they can beat the teams who are ranked around them in the in the fifa rankings or slightly or even further below that they can slip away quite easily. don't five or six years ago we weren't even able to do that. we lost to iceland the second round of iceland in the second round of euro didn't even make euro 2016. we didn't even make out the group back in the world cup 2014 in brazil. so that is progress of sorts. however there still problem. still is that perennial problem. france italy last time, france defeated italy last time, defeated croatia were ranked actually lower us in. the actually lower than us in. the rankings in 2018 defeat it so problem cities. yes i don't if it's mental i don't know if it's about psychology sam allardyce said was a block said it was a mental block somewhere the lines. yes it wasn't a penalty shoot out that did this time, but it was did for us this time, but it was still penalties sort money still penalties of sort money issue don't really know issue that i don't really know who gareth southgate. issue that i don't really know who was gareth southgate. issue that i don't really know who was notsareth southgate. issue that i don't really know who was not areth southgate. issue that i don't really know who was not a flurry)uthgate. issue that i don't really know who was not a flurry namese. there was not a flurry names coming into mind. there are coming into my mind. there are plenty people plenty of people would fraternise because fraternise with the job because pays much as a premier pays about as much as a premier job pays these days, especially a like a top six one national association has not quite association has done not quite like world they like that around the world they tend pay a lot less so

tend to pay a lot less so there's lots to consider this thing the last 18 months thing about the last 18 months i'm really about that i'm not really about that because with because yes, he's engaged with some however, some work issues. however, he's a man. what he a company man. that's what he is. and so he should being paid that kind money. that's what that kind of money. that's what dfa do. if going dfa wants to do. if he's going to money he the power, to take the money he the power, what have do, what they what they have to do, what they the political angles they the political angles that they take. you look at, take. right. if you look at, say, eddie howe, for example if he came in, i don't think he'd do something. it's not a good thing newcastle. so you'd thing at newcastle. so you'd have addition of have this toxic addition of how he's a he's having to defend a murderous own murderous regime who own newcastle united and then going into jumper into this fluffy jumper situation. that's difficult into this fluffy jumper sitterms. that's difficult into this fluffy jumper sitterms of that's difficult into this fluffy jumper sitterms of the at's difficult into this fluffy jumper sitterms of the players, :ult into this fluffy jumper sitterms of the players, these, in terms of the players, these, these were elite players. patrick are players to patrick these are players to some highest paid players some of the highest paid players in i just in world football. yeah i just wonder not convinced wonder whether i'm not convinced they're the problem. i think that you look at germany in the lead the 2014 world cup lead to the 2014 world cup victory knocking on victory they were knocking on rule time rule for quite some time that they that great the they had that great after the euro worked towards euro 2000. they worked towards it part of sport policy it may be part of sport policy part of achieving things elite level you have to take some level is you have to take some knocks. of all, maybe this level is you have to take some krthes. of all, maybe this level is you have to take some krthe latest of all, maybe this level is you have to take some krthe latest in all, maybe this level is you have to take some krthe latest in a ll, maybe this level is you have to take some krthe latest in a long aybe this level is you have to take some krthe latest in a long line.this is the latest in a long line. before england actually

achieved. just very achieved. okay. just very quickly, put money quickly, if able to put money on it to southgate. it's it it's got to southgate. it's still be england still going to be england manager a couple days manager in a couple of days time. yeah, think you will. time. yeah, i think you will. yeah. yeah, i think will. but yeah. yeah, i think he will. but yeah, yeah and the yeah, yeah, yeah and the croatia, croatia, france final repeat 2018. that's my repeat of 2018. that's my prediction and that's in the prediction and that's not in the league. of all, the here league. first of all, the here is that whether we now want is that whether or we now want the french to go on winning, the french to go in on winning, then lost the winners. then we've lost the winners. lost winners. but the lost to the winners. but the problem mainly that that problem mainly being that that would french people would mean that french people they've got some great players yeah some great yeah they have got some great players. i didn't players. great players. i didn't think was better, but it think i was better, but it doesn't matter now because we're out. mcgee, thank very, out. eddie mcgee, thank very, very that. very much. i appreciate that. sports correspondent extraordinaire, right? you owe me on gbs. me patrick christys on gbs. don't anywhere there is don't go anywhere as there is still come in the final still lots to come in the final hour of the programme whether disruption armies try and cover and put migrants in and shall we put migrants in disused that's disused holiday parks? that's right. in a moment

can be discussed in the harry and latest. but before and meghan latest. but before it's well it's something frankly well a more really it's a more serious really it's a tragedy because cold snap has produced some tragic consequences. three boys aged eight, died eight, ten and 11 have died after falling through the frozen babbs solihull. another babbs lake in solihull. another child said to be seriously child is said to be seriously ill the ill more than hospital. the police confirmed that. police have confirmed that. nobody has been reported nobody else has been reported missing services missing and emergency services are urging to steer clear from open water following the lethal accident . joining me now is gb accident. joining me now is gb news is west reporter scott carson is in for us chuck. carson who is in for us chuck. yes, it's sad week and of course, the families affected for the local community. jenny for the local community. jenny for us as well. patrick, the update really here is the in terms of the actual police operation that is now kind of ceased for the day they're no longer right now looking for people in the lake like said the superintendent, richard , in that superintendent, richard, in that press conference said that they had no reason to believe that there any were any more people involved in, the incident than the four that were already accounted for. but of course, they said we had to do much

they said we had to do as much as possible keep going for as possible and keep going for long possible sure long as possible to make sure the that they were the statements that they were getting true or , you know, getting were true or, you know, or people who just heard different things. so they're also appealing for people to come forward witnesses that may witnessed of event, witnessed any part of the event, not even incident itself, just maybe bodies by the maybe seen the bodies by the lake go to the west midlands lake to go to the west midlands police website and, submit any kind information may kind of information that may have them their have to help them in their inquiry they're treating it inquiry they're not treating it as as a criminal investigation as a as a criminal investigation at the moment and this evening people and this community are starting to come together laying tributes, flowers is tributes, laying flowers is laying candles here. there's going be a candlelight going to be a candlelight vigil this saturday. and i've heard from locals that their attempts that they're trying to light the whole of the lake with whole edge of the lake with candles. so that will be quite a picture if is able to go ahead. of the police have to of course, the police have to finish their operation as finish their operation here as well. earlier left well. two people earlier left three kind of glass baubles pinned them the tree. and that's one of the most devastating things about is that this has

happened so close to christmas and this really coming together to support those families involved because many of them would have had their presence already bought for them this christmas. ready , break christmas. getting ready, break up from school, see friends over the festive period and this cold snap such snap has caused such a devastating incident . jack, devastating incident. jack, thank you very much. scott carson, our west midlands reporter, just bringing us. the latest on that tragedy , three latest on that tragedy, three children and sadly passing after falling into a lake through the eyes of course. well, we're just going to move away from now within last hour, how was a major breakthrough ? the rail major breakthrough? the rail disputes have been shattered after members of the rmt rejected a pay offer. the anyone out press ahead with 240 hour strikes that network rail 14 and 14 train companies tomorrow on friday. right now this is what we need to get our heads around some numbers and delve into the ground with the detail of this because the rmt said 3.6% of members voted reject network rail's but the turnout was

rail's offer but the turnout was 83. rail had offered a 5% pay rise for this year, backdated to january, with another 4% at the start of 2023 and a guarantee of no compulsory job until january 20, 25. now maths is not my strong point, so i'm going to hold my hands of this straight away. maths is not my strong point, but a couple of quick sums is roughly speaking around 52% of the rmt 52% of the that the rmt represents have voted in favour 52% of the that the rmt re|striking.have voted in favour 52% of the that the rmt re|striking. that voted in favour 52% of the that the rmt re|striking. that isted in favour 52% of the that the rmt re|striking. that is ,ed in favour 52% of the that the rmt re|striking. that is , i in favour 52% of the that the rmt re|striking. that is , i would )ur of striking. that is, i would argue not what isn't an overwhelming majority it yes or no remain is it going to be screaming has to be squeezed now? yes a vote is a vote now? yes and a vote is a vote and majority is majority. i get all that stuff stop going on all of that stuff stop going on at let's be honest with at me. but let's be honest with you, one would have thought that if going grow in if you were going to grow in country to a whole, i might be expecting a bit more than 52. gosh, hate number. lynch said gosh, i hate number. lynch said that members are that vote shows members are determined to take further strike in pursuit a strike action in pursuit of a negotiated settlement. well, joining studio right joining me in the studio right now i'm going to bone now is a man i'm going to bone to pick, but we'll to pick, actually, but we'll leave once we've done

leave that once we've done importance of his travel answer at the independent. calder at the independent. simon calder simon, much. simon, thank you very much. i'm going there. going to put this out there. this not an overwhelming number of people, if the pay was such a big deal , of people, if the pay was such a big deal, people are going to gnnd big deal, people are going to grind the country to a halt because 30 million quid a day and people's christmas and we ruin people's christmas plans and gives which way plans and gives money which way they this up. only 52% of they tore this up. only 52% of people in the rmt represented apparently voted in favour of a strike 52? i make it strike. you say 52? i make it five, but i'll go you. i'll go with you. okay but very, very briefly, just to do it in round numbers, 10,000 and stuff for network rail voted to strike 6000 again in rough numbers said we don't want to strike and then probably would have accepted this pay off. yeah probably about ten 3000 didn't voted to okay so that's roughly what we're looking at now in terms of the pay offer . it was, i think. the pay offer. it was, i think. i'm not taking any sides in this, but looking at the unite union and the transport salaried staff associate in the white collar union have done they

basically just said yes, probably about the best we're going to get and yes, we'll go for that since it's been rejected by a majority , 52 or rejected by a majority, 52 or 55.then rejected by a majority, 52 or 55. then there is no way that the strikes are going to end. so we're going to see the first cancellation in 18 minutes. it's the sunderland to kings cross in london at 530. that's the first of the cancellations and they will now be continuing pretty much through till the 7th of january. we've got a 48 hour strike tomorrow , then things are strike tomorrow, then things are going to be largely disrupted on thursday , another 48 hour strike thursday, another 48 hour strike friday, saturday then we're sort of into season of rail engineering works, a strike from christmas eve to the 27th of december. and then once all the rail engineering stuff ends the 2nd of january, the strike starts again on the 3rd of january. but it's not about money. as i was being told by various different union representatives about workers

conditions and security . and conditions and job security. and as understand it, deal as we understand it, this deal man, no compulsory man, there will be no compulsory job losses until 2025. so when you look at it like, that is the equivalent of roughly speaking , equivalent of roughly speaking, 9% speaking , 9% pay rise. roughly speaking, 55% of the rmt union's members said that they didn't want to accept the and it wasn't just about pay . it also guaranteed about pay. it also guaranteed them work a lot people now be going, you're ruining my christmas enough. i'll get christmas upset enough. i'll get back okay, first back to work. well, okay, first of all, this only part of the dispute. okay and it's i'm really sorry quite what are the people who fix the tracks and more to the point, keep the signals going. yeah that's why tomorrow will see the rail tomorrow you will see the rail network just out of action. you can go in wales, for example, from cardiff to the valleys or to newport no further in stockton you're not going to be able to go north of falkirk or cowdenbeath cornwall completely cut off by rail . cowdenbeath cornwall completely cut off by rail. some cowdenbeath cornwall completely cut off by rail . some really key cut off by rail. some really key cities with no so portsmouth stoke on trent, swansea. lincoln dundee no trains . and that's

dundee no trains. and that's going to be the pattern pretty much for a lot. but look, just break it for down like me because you've got network rail and that's had a massive impact that you've had that but you mentioned some the unions. mentioned some of the unions. yeah more actually the yeah so it's more actually the group, it's the rmt , the union group, it's the rmt, the union that pushing all these that is pushing all these strikes by far the biggest rail and that's make lunch isn't it. yes, it is. and staff before 18 train operators are also walking out and there's tens of thousands of those . and the pay thousands of those. and the pay offer that they were offered because they different group from network rail was actually much much than the network rail one was 4% plus 4% owned. by the way, this is upon you accepting so called driver only , which is so called driver only, which is absent anathema. and that's why absent anathema. and that's why a of people think hang on, this was a spanner lobbed in by the government at the last minute either they think oh we can pull a fast one and get this through

because they're desperate to settle. more likely because they thought that we're going to take. that's interesting take. but that's interesting because people because lot of the people potentially they rmt of potentially anyway they rmt of this or so who said that this 55% or so who said that they still wanted to strike , they still wanted to strike, have been happy with this deal for if they were for them if they were represented by network or represented by network rail or if the network rail but thought maybe of solidarity for maybe out of solidarity for their comrades that voted their other comrades that voted against because they got worst offer. well they got a worse offer. well they got a worse offer. but i mean the whole industry is now completely which is why it's actually quite difficult to deal with . and difficult to deal with. and there's lots of little local disputes going on here and there. so i think that when we finally get a settlement. it will actually very much like the network rail settlement. so 5% with actually quite a lot of help for the lowest paid workers . so it will be above a 5% plus 4% rise for them. there's also a fabulous deal for family , fabulous deal for family, friends and family, not friends. we have rail network rail staff who get loads of discounts on

tickets. so just to i know it's much more complicated. but again, in layman's terms 55% of the rmt ease of the eligible the eligible staff of the rmt have voted to continue their strike action despite being offered a 5% pay rise back to 82. the jenny just got a 4% pay rise from this january onwards. plus job security until 2025 and also a pretty generous offer when it comes to that family as well. yeah, right okay. i will. people people can make their own , people can make their own, obviously, on the strike action again, just a couple of quick days on. okay so starts tonight effectively wipes out tuesday wednesday i mean still quite a lot of trains running on into city lines and then thirsty friday and then prepare for christmas engineering works in the new year. you got a bone to pick. i do have a bone to pick me up as. may be aware for me up as. you may be aware for the interview we did last the interview that we did last week. in aberdeen this week. i was in aberdeen this

strike probably better strike and probably have better working conditions. well, working conditions. well. well, i talking to the wife of a lance corporal in the army only earlier she summed it up quite well in saying that within within military better pay better staffing levels, better working conditions are just a pipe working conditions are just a pipe dream of every service person everywhere. it's not the sort of thing that the military get. they get thrown in to deal with and pick up the detritus left by people who are paid better them and are asking for better them and are asking for better deals in them. and therefore, it is well, you know, you yet another holiday have been given up at a time when defence is very busy indeed . defence is very busy indeed. well, can you enlighten a little bit. i'm sorry i'm put you on the spot here, but i mean it is relevant. the idea here of army pay relevant. the idea here of army pay and in terms of pay rises as well because i do cop it a lot from the old pro nursing brigade. and yes, i'm very sorry. anyone who thinks that nurses be millions of nurses just be paid millions of pounds year and held up as pounds a year and held up as angels clapped every single evening, they great. it's not

evening, they do great. it's not about but have had about that. but they have had pay about that. but they have had pay two years and they pay rises in two years and they are real terms pay cut are amount a real terms pay cut that everyone keeps telling me you know no one predicted inflation stuff . inflation all of this stuff. well, what's what's the. oh well, what's the what's the. oh we pay rises been like army pay rise has been well below inflation this year they got 3.75% for those on lower pay rates higher pay rates got three and a half percent a. a young soldier on training is on just ove r £16,000 a year. that's over £16,000 a year. that's after pay rise. and whenever come out fully trained , they're come out fully trained, they're o n £21,425 per year. that's on £21,425 per year. that's after the pay rise that significantly less than any of the other emergency service workers. and, you know, i don't deny that they need more money, but it's putting it into context. and it's a bit of a kick in the guts where you've got people getting smaller pay rises imposed on them who can't represent they've no representation on their side whatsoever or having to fill these jobs a holiday. no,

these jobs over a holiday. no, indeed. don't just want to indeed. and i don't just want to focus on nurses. i mean, focus on the nurses. i mean, have just had members have also just had members of the although only the rmt, although only apparently 55% of them actually voted to turn down what i think a lot of people, regardless of relatively decent pay off are not decent offer, but not the decent pay offer, but job three job security for them three years well. i know years as well. i don't know about but certainly would about you, but i certainly would love job security the next three years, although it's going years, although it's not going to but there we go. and to happen. but there we go. and when things like when it comes to things like border well, now, border force as well, now, forgive i don't want to be forgive me, i don't want to be slamming who's, know, slamming anyone who's, you know, does is it not does a job. okay but is it not slight , does a job. okay but is it not slight, leigh? leave a bad taste in the mouth that people who essentially check passports for living or in the case of what's been going on in the channel actively don't can go strike and ruin christmases but ruin people's christmases but people actually fight duty people who actually fight duty for this country who are maybe in some cases less than half the amount of money they're on after spend at heathrow . well, the spend at heathrow. well, the border force don't just check passports. they are the frontline people coming in, that of people coming into the. so

they've got an awful lot more to do. i wouldn't knock the professionalism with all the rest of it, but it's what we're seeing at the moment is, a perfect storm. and if we look at what's going on across europe, we listen to the unions, we listen certain and they seem listen to certain and they seem to think that everything is done to think that everything is done to the government the government the government when actually there are similar issues happening every country happening in every country across lots of across europe and lots of countries across the world and. we start to ask the we have to start to ask the question why and we keep hearing ukraine up and that ukraine coming up and that is one causes of the one of the major causes of the economic we're in at the economic that we're in at the moment. level of moment. but this level of disruption that seeing and disruption that we're seeing and disintegration services disintegration public services across . if i across the country. if i was vladimir putin sitting moscow vladimir putin sitting in moscow , behind my big , be sitting there behind my big desk at moment with a white desk at the moment with a white cotton money and cotton money stroking it and smiling, going, you cotton money stroking it and smiling, going , you know, uk smiling, going, you know, the uk is everything to itself is doing everything to itself that i would like to be doing. so, you know people need to realise that they should look at, look after the collective perspective. yeah. i mean the irony, the irony there course is there was a report last week

which garnered rather a lot of attention which did reports anyway have links between the rmt british communist rmt and the british communist party the kremlin. of party and indeed the kremlin. of course, well, course, all of those were well, they're actually, they're not denied, actually, because of them is because literally one of them is involved, communist party. involved, the communist party. but what you but just to paraphrase what you would ned, do you think would say, ned, do you think that the strike action that we're going to be seeing, nurses, ambulance nurses, paramedics, ambulance workers, workers , posties, workers, rail workers, posties, whoever , in your view , you think whoever, in your view, you think that's helping vladimir putin? oh, hugely 100% is helping him in. you know, he will be laughing all the way to the bank over this because of the disruption that is causing. and we're saying our service personnel who are you're trying to be on the frontline to make the ukrainian recruits are trained properly. are trying to be a deterrent in estonia and elsewhere, and deployed in the navy and the air force, you know the air force are flying on a daily basis to keep fighter air around nato's borders the whole time. you know, all of that is going to be by the fact that service personnel are having to

stand in for a lot. these other people who are much better prepared than the. yeah, no, again, diminishing again, not diminishing whatsoever fantastic whatsoever the role fantastic work and nurses, work the paramedics and nurses, etc. do but do people in the armed forces look at that, please . they're saying we are please. they're saying we are overstretched , overworked and we overstretched, overworked and we have to work in grim conditions every single day. and hold lives in the palm of our hands. do people in the armed forces look at that and actually, you at that and go, actually, you don't your board . no, they don't know your board. no, they don't. because not a competition. you are are overworked. our paramedics overworked. our paramedics overworked. our paramedics overworked. our police are overworked. our police are overworked our border force staff are overworked. i'm not going to talk about the training staff because i actually don't think they are as regular user. our service personnel overworked. but you know, the answer isn't going out on strike thatis answer isn't going out on strike that is you know using a sledgehammer to crack it up the answers to sit down and talk negotiate and you work out things from an adult perspective a police can't go on strike our service personnel can't go on strike yet it . seems as if strike yet it. seems as if everyone else who this is doing.

and surprise, surprise, it always seems to happen over a houday always seems to happen over a holiday period. it never seems to happen. you other a to happen. you at other times a yeah to happen. you at other times a year. yes. makes just a little cynical. yeah okay. i'm inclined agree with you on that one for the beginning. thank you very, very former senior military intelligence officer. right now, lots been getting in lots of you been getting in touch with your thoughts the touch with your thoughts on the arms. rejection of the arms. he's rejection of the latest okay. i'm latest pay offer. okay. i'm going with you going to do my best with you through we understand it came through as we understand it came to me live on. right. so here we go. as i understand that 55% of the representatives the rmt these representatives that work as i suppose the rnc represents, apparently represents, have apparently reportedly against a pay reportedly voted against a pay offer would have had pay offer that would have had pay backdated to it's around 5% and then, of course, around 4% pay increase as well from january onwards. john says there is magic monetary, but it's clear that unions don't understand that. the reality is excessive wage increase just for even higher inflation and or increases. jason's thank god the army is coming in least it will work better. these crazy increases these unions are after

already disgrace. jill says these rail workers are deluded. they are losing money by striking than they will in pay rises over the next three years. yeah. what also is fascinating is the job security element it as well, which apparently means that for the next three years there are going to be no compulsory redundancies, no compulsory redundancies, no compulsory losses, which i know a lot of people were up in arms about. so this deals supposedly as we're reading it, i'm sure the will it apart the will pick it apart themselves. but as i understand it if information it anyway, if the information come to me with a secure come to you, to me with a secure jobs or three years would also have meant that there have have meant that there would have been increase in the grand been a pay increase in the grand total over a two total of around 9% over a two year period. of is not year period. of course, is not in line inflation. but i don't know, is your wage going up in line inflation? people line with inflation? people might some interest well might know some interest as well that day that apparently every single day that apparently every single day that on strike costs that they are on strike it costs us 30 maybe even us around 30 million, maybe even more, over the busy christmas because people would normally be going travelling going out about or travelling more on but more over christmas on it. but there go. actually went there you go. and actually went only, it only some only, only is it only some people might be going i'm people might be going well i'm going it still is

going to be 55% it still is still a majority. okay, i'll take on board that. but don't know. would you have thought that 55% of our that maybe more than 55% of our empty staff as were are and empty staff as it were are and see that are represented see people that are represented by rnc more than 55% would by the rnc more than 55% would have against pay have voted against the pay offer. what that really offer. what does that really tell gbp a gbnews.uk we are tell you? gbp a gbnews.uk we are going to be picking it up throughout the course of the show, but with next, i'm going to be talking about reports that the government is to holiday the government is to use holiday caps accommodate asylum caps to accommodate asylum seekers option to seekers as a cheaper option to putting yeah putting them up in hotels. yeah that's right. we're all that's right. and we're all going holiday. is this going a migrant holiday. is this a or a bad idea ? i a good thing or a bad idea? i want to hear from you on all of that next. people the rest and they say that they want to save money hotels. no, it won't. money on hotels. no, it won't. they think we're absolute they must think we're absolute mugs. roughly mugs. it's costing us roughly 6 million a day to these million quid a day to put these people in hotels. they are still going be hotels. they're going to be in hotels. they're still going be in hotels. still going to be in hotels. we'll also using holiday we'll just also using holiday comes potentially comes to potentially university halls as well. and halls of residence as well. and we just going to be we think that's just going to be for a week. is it what happens to the money staying in hotels for that's still less so

for a week? that's still less so it accommodation. they it just more accommodation. they go only be the off go well it'll only be in the off season. well won't be in the season. well it won't be in the off season when they know because they'll still be that come as well. this come summer time as well. this problem away any problem is not going away any time what do you think? do time soon. what do you think? do you live in a rural where these houday you live in a rural where these holiday camps are going to be used? think going used? do you think she's going to i think it's to affect tourism? i think it's going affect jobs. do going to affect jobs. what do you of of that? and you make of all of that? and also as well, i had a guest on earlier on. he made rather earlier on. he made the rather salient point. only were salient point. not only were hotels all hotels good hotels and all hotels good for just economies local just local economies and local businesses, but a lot of the kind of normal working people houday kind of normal working people holiday to holiday in country would go to these camps presumably these holiday camps presumably now and by now will not be allowed and by the way the deal that the the way if the deal that the home is offering these home office is offering these houday home office is offering these holiday comes is anything like the they're offering the deal that they're offering houday the deal that they're offering holiday promise a holiday inns they promise them a full refund which we full refund afterwards which we will so we not will be paying. so we will not just be paying for the accommodation, will not be accommodation, we will not be paying accommodation, we will not be paying the inconvenience, paying for the inconvenience, be paying paying for the inconvenience, be paying for paying in a roundabout way for the knock effects loss the knock effects of the loss of. local now, you, of. our local economy. now, you, my you will be paying to my friend, you will be paying to renovate holiday camp as well. renovate a holiday camp as well. but of that is your

but before of that is your latest headlines . patrick thank latest headlines. patrick thank you.the latest headlines. patrick thank you. the top stories on gb news. you've been hearing rail strikes will continue into the christmas penod will continue into the christmas period after members of the union rejected the latest pay offer on the table 63% of the union's members turned down a deal offered by network rail of a 5% pay rise. this year. then on top of that a 4% rise in 2023. now to 48 hour strikes will go ahead and passengers are being warned to expect and cancellations tomorrow and wednesday as well as on friday and saturday government ministers have held an emergency cobra meeting in a bid to disruption during the industrial action across . a number of action across. a number of pubuc action across. a number of public sectors and ambulance staff as well as a number of nhs workers in have called off their strike action following their accept of a pay deal with the

gay know, if they were so against welcome back to headliners on gb news. i'm still here with paul and kylie. two fantastic comedians and monday's meal and hancock wants to be the next louis through. paul yes

on ladies and gentlemen, i know this story going to get you all going. no, you are not dreaming . only way with all the child migrant crossing thing have got worse is actually if we started putting in. oh i don't know putting them in. oh i don't know universe, city of universe, city halls of residence places like butlins residence or places like butlins or . oh my gosh. is or holiday. oh my gosh. is happening. shakira to the surprise of absolutely nobody. now many occasions on this now on many occasions on this show, we, of course, do discuss the very challenges the very real challenges that the very real challenges that the facing house the government facing to house these migrants who cross the government facing to house therchannel migrants who cross the government facing to house therchannel andgrants who cross the government facing to house therchannel and they; who cross the government facing to house therchannel and they; who to ss the government facing to house therchannel and they; who to the the channel and they come to the uk. put people in uk. they've put people in hotels, put them in hotels, they've put them in various different places, even people in rentals . it's people in private rentals. it's costing us somewhere in the region of £6 million per day, although of course, like everything that figure very everything that figure is very misleading because actually misleading because it's actually a than that you a lot more than that when you add things like add in various things like cleaning etcetera, cleaning costs and etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. been etcetera, etcetera. it's been reported that the government is

now plans to now to announce plans to use houday now to announce plans to use holiday university holiday camps and university halls residence as cheaper halls of residence as cheaper opfions halls of residence as cheaper options to accommodate the asylum seekers. will just say it is an absolute whopper and a long list of total whopping lies that we've been told because it may to house may well be cheaper to house them in camps and in university of residence, but we're not going to stop housing them in hotels either. so it's actually a of two for one of regret a kind of two for one of regret that getting here. ladies that we're getting here. ladies and we're to and gents, and we're going to pick apart absolute farce pick apart the absolute farce that is. but i'm joined by that this is. but i'm joined by dr. bassat. he's a social dr. ricky bassat. he's a social analyst. ricky, thank analyst. dr. ricky, thank you very much. i can see next to nowhere when it comes to the idea now that a load of migrants are going be dumped in are going to be dumped in a university halls residence. university halls of residence. when week around when freshers week rolls around and a load of 18 year old girls worry potentially not that much who maybe had one too many who have maybe had one too many . we are sleepwalking into disaster , are we not? well, disaster, are we not? well, i think that it reeks of desperation. if truth be , desperation. if truth be, patrick, the government's . to patrick, the government's. to rehome channel migrants in old

student accommodation and disused holiday camps. they're tried to sell as if it is going to be cheaper. but the tried to sell as if it is going to be cheaper . but the reality to be cheaper. but the reality is, we're spending to be cheaper. but the reality is, we're spendin g £5.8 million is, we're spending £5.8 million a day, according to some sources on housing. channel migrants in hotels. so if it is marginally cheaper than that. the government would be correct. but to be honest , it's still an to be honest, it's still an eye—watering figure. in the middle of a cost of living crisis. it is. and they don't tell you about the cost of the refurb. now, i happen to know for straightforward of for a straightforward matter of fact, because some of very close to i live i was all to where i live and i was all over this story since the day it started holiday inn. they started about holiday inn. they made ad, know, for fact made an ad, i know, for fact that a refurb, a full refurb has been offered as part of been offered there as part of this package. would this package. so one would assume par for the assume that it is par for the course in fact we know it course and in fact we know it from areas. so it'd from other areas. so it'd be remarkable if a full refurb wasn't being offered to either 0 university halls. they will become spanking become brand spanking new university halls and when there's decided they there's a lot decided that they are to be moved into

are going to be moved into british society with british society and similar with these holiday camps, these these these holiday camps, etc. the round it's not etc. so in the round it's not going save any money at going to save us any money at all. but in your specific brief as policy analyst, i read all. but in your specific brief as some olicy analyst, i read all. but in your specific brief as some interestalyst, i read all. but in your specific brief as some interest thet, i read all. but in your specific brief as some interest the comments with some interest the comments of a particular councillor in lancaster to say that it is inevitable that there will be conflict when it comes to in these hotels and, the local community. do you think that conflict is inevitable ? well, i conflict is inevitable? well, i think that the current situation is placing a great deal of strain on social cohesion. i was saying that the situation in regards the hotels it was ultimately depriving establish local communities of . local communities of. potentially a crucial hub of social. and i think that when we're looking at the situation where we're looking at the government now using disused houday government now using disused holiday comes all forms , student holiday comes all forms, student accommodation that this was a talk about using old military bases and airfields some people

may well ask well why can't you reconvert these facilities is to rehome homeless , including rehome homeless, including people who have previously served in our military. now i'm almost sick of saying it now, and i just feel like i'm backing and i just feel like i'm backing a broken homeless military veterans. just the homeless in general, people who urgently in domestic abuse. i mean, the list on. especially when it comes to the cold weather one of the arguments as well about these disuse or old military barracks is believe that some asylum seekers actually set one on fire. not so ago because they were particularly happy with the conditions. done an conditions. so they've done an upgrade there and then maybe they will actually be happy with it. terms of as the it. but in terms of as well, the local economy rookie, these local economy rookie, these local often used local holiday cabins often used by british working class people are really i don't want to stereotype too much but let's be honest and enjoy honest who go there and enjoy the offer that the facilities on offer that don't presumably won't be happening if. it's full of asylum seekers will lose asylum seekers people will lose their well. the their jobs there as well. the local will suffer local area will suffer economically as a result of this and that i would imagine, won't do social cohesion

do anything for social cohesion ehheh do anything for social cohesion either. always made either. well, i've always made the point that there's many things that should be done to create more family friendly facilities in, our local communities . but it feels like communities. but it feels like to me that these facilities are increasingly being taken up to rehome the channel migrants, people who are ultimately entering the country . and i have entering the country. and i have to say that from a social cohesion perspective, that's shelter might do just this. absolutely. it is a situation is not sustainable. and the may well think that these plans to put at foot illegal migrants in these facilities instead of hotels that might reduce criticism of the government and they'll to the office . this is they'll to the office. this is this is financial sensible but i don't think that's really going work out well at all. no, i agree. kate, thank you very much. don't keep us on social policy unless i'm very pleased, though, joining though, to have a chat joining me in the studio. it is political commentator david oldroyd bolt . david, is the

oldroyd bolt. david, is the government rearranging government just rearranging the decking on the titanic? i sometimes think that with policies the policies like this, the government far they government seeing how far they can it, how the situation can push it, how the situation can push it, how the situation can be, how utterly absurd the suggestion before people are in uproar. sort of end of uproar. it's sort of like end of term fee, but saying if term fee, but they're saying if i stick a potato up the i can stick a potato up the pipe, i can stick a potato up the pipe, it's an absolutely ridiculous suggestion. we cannot this. we should this. and moreover, we should not be doing it to begin with. the fundamental problem here is that and must leave the that we and must leave the european convention on, human rights. last year three quarters or more of the migrant coming here were able bodied young men , under the of 40. they had , under the age of 40. they had to work, apparently. they're to work, apparently. but they're here illegally in first instance. shouldn't paying instance. we shouldn't be paying for fair that at for this. it is not fair that at the time of living, the time of cost of living, crisis, shock with inflation rampant people are rampant with people are increasingly unable afford food and like energy and their and basics like energy and their mortgage payments that the foreign aid budget is paid for out of our taxation is being used to house these people. i mean just just over the course of show far, i have of this show so far, i have spoken about not having enough funding , grit the roads. okay

funding, grit the roads. okay that's caused massive travel disruption. we've the strikes a lot of the strikes and a lot of different sectors fundamentally centres around don't work centres around pay don't work working mostly about pay. working dishes mostly about pay. we've crisis we've got cost of living crisis . i've also the inflation . i've also done the inflation figures and gdp . none of these figures and gdp. none of these are particularly picture. and then in the same breath almost, might you just sit here and just roll over and accept that we've got all the money in the world. it comes to housing people who decided to illegally. and decided to come illegally. and let's we are not let's be honest, we are not fleeing war. it's a tough sell. i mean, why why, for instance, is not on white is albania not on the white list. that is to say, on the thatis list. that is to say, on the that is clearly of people that is clearly not of people fleeing fleeing conflict. fleeing war. fleeing conflict. as the earlier, as you made the point earlier, we problem with we have massive problem with homelessness. walks homelessness. anyone who walks around any major city? london, birmingham, edinburgh, leeds will it's will see this. and it's for social . why on earth social cohesion. why on earth should britain's be sleeping on the streets in temperatures which we've had for a week now, minus three at night? if these facilities are available, this is it's morally repugnant, frankly, that we should be prioritising other people over the needs of britons and

particularly ex—servicemen and women . domestic violence. women. domestic violence. yeah. look, 100% another on this look, 100% another angle on this which think really does go under the of of me. the radar of the life of me. i can't understand why is people from variety of different cultures around world now we already have massive net migration, legal migration to do rather well when it comes to the old student visas as well. and very often these place, these people from places that do not necessarily share our values when comes to things like gay when it comes to things like gay rights, comes things rights, when it comes to things like women's rights, etc. different cultural norms. lot different cultural norms. a lot of around religious of our centres around religious fundamentalism some as fundamentalism in some cases as now, dare say something now, dare i say something similar happens when it comes to people coming across the channel as well . is there an irony here? as well. is there an irony here? the the welcoming the low, the old welcoming the rainbow brigade or rainbow badr brigade or willingly encouraging the importation of people who perhaps do not share our cultural norms and even the church of england? they might one day live to regret the one love aspects when it comes to people coming over here who don't believe in things like gay

and women's rights. i have to say, it takes a particular kind of stupidity to attend a palestinian rights demonstration waving a rainbow flag, actually, where routinely where homosexuals are routinely murdered. is one of murdered. i think this is one of the poisonous legacies of blairism that we were not allowed 20 years to talk about these kinds of things without being of being being accused of being essentially wanting essentially racists, of wanting foreigners to be got rid of when . there are such serious concerns and you only have to look at the many times in the nonh look at the many times in the north where there were perhaps problems which were brushed under the carpet. now demagogue. so, it is desperately silly so, yes, it is desperately silly to think that there will not the potential for these sorts of things as you things to happen, given, as you say, cultural , the totally say, the cultural, the totally different sets of cultural norms that a lot of these people bring with it i would say with them. and it i would say that first of the that the first duty of the government in an instance like this is to ensure that our people are safe. and that means that can about that our students can about their their their undergraduate years their feet without danger of feet as adults without danger of attack they're or , rape attack if they're gay or, rape if women, 100. and if they're women, 100. and this is this is an accent waist up. and the whole thing is a

catastrophe waiting to happen. i do find situation do not want to find situation where i'm sitting here reporting on things like massive local protests that, let's be honest, would have the potential be too nasty or to be by a genuine racist by the as a result of something happening. you know, a young university girl gone on a night out, maybe not a track of she's just left home. she's enjoyed one too many on a freshers night or something. maybe not wearing too much something across. something happens something happens . happens or something happens. one hotels, local one of these hotels, local communities, said, do not communities, as you said, do not want to go into reporting on that because of the obvious connotation that be connotation that would be attached i can see it attached to it. but i can see it happening. i can see there being attached to it. but i can see it happenircivilcan see there being attached to it. but i can see it happenircivil unrest. there being attached to it. but i can see it happenircivil unrest. it's re being massive civil unrest. it's inevitable take large inevitable when you take large groups of young men, bodied groups of young men, able bodied men, lots of energy, lots of them too. don't get it as well. they don't social and nor do they care for it. even if they do get it, they've obviously a great deal of energy to get here in place. so they it's in first place. so they it's inevitable there going inevitable that there is going to be a clash. and i not think

that reasonable government to be a clash. and i not think that bezasonable government to be a clash. and i not think that bezasonablethatarnment should be allowing that situation even to be considered. never mind come to pass. you never mind to come to pass. you could argue come to could argue even to come to pass, it might be another pass, cause it might be another way saying but wouldn't way of saying it, but i wouldn't possibly. wasn't possibly. but this wasn't about. thank you very much. great to have you on the show. as have you on the show. patrick as the time i ever won't be the first time i ever won't be the first time i ever won't be the last. thank you very much. i was, course, political was, of course, political commentator david aldridge, about make of about that. what do you make of that? views are coming that? i imagine views are coming in and fast people. but in thick and fast people. but yes, away from that, that big breaking earlier, breaking that we had earlier, we're over because. we're rolling it over because. the government have the government ministers have held cobra meeting, held an emergency cobra meeting, which as which is just concluded as they discuss to with the discuss ways to deal with the upcoming action within upcoming strike action within the on our railways. the the nhs and on our railways. the chancellor, the duchy of lancaster, oliver who lancaster, oliver dowden who chaired amazing had chaired the cobra. amazing had this just of this to say just a matter of moments ago about rmt members rejecting we rejecting the latest pay. we listened the independent pay listened to the independent pay review and we honoured review bodies and we honoured what they asked for in respect of the nurses and others i don't think it's fair and reasonable to try and bypass that process through strikes particularly a time when we're facing the challenges . it's covid, russia,

challenges. it's covid, russia, ukraine or as winter bites and in respect of the rmt i would say the same thing families are struggling right now. do the fair , reasonable thing and call fair, reasonable thing and call those strikes . yes. well, there those strikes. yes. well, there we go. there is more to come there because the rail minister merriman also outlined the government response to the ongoing strikes. the is working incredibly hard all departments to ensure that there is mitigation in to look after people during these strikes. but we to be very clear the government can't take down the strikes we can only bring in mitigating factors to reduce the impact . so my mitigating factors to reduce the impact. so my message is to the trade unions please take down these damaging strike actions. please recognise what the pay rise is would do to inflation if . they were to be accepted and recognised inflation hits the poorest, hardest . well, it's poorest, hardest. well, it's taken a long. it is a lot more complicated than just rmt being involved and network rail being involved. but finally now we do

actually know what one of the offers is be at least on exactly what the rmt and their members have rejected. but crucially well how many of their members reject the authority's top brass? lynch says the brass? mick lynch says the government aren't lifting a finger the strike finger to prevent the strike action rail and this is action network rail and this is where it interesting had where it gets interesting had offered a 5% pay rise for this year backdated to january with another 4% at the start of 2023 and a guarantee of no compulsory job losses until january 20, 25. 63.9% of the 83% of the union's members voted voted to reject that offer. but if you take that in round, that means around 55% of the representatives decided that they didn't want to accept that they didn't want to accept that offer. it's not a lower number than you would have . number than you would have. there'd be more on this across gb news the course of this evening. but gosh, you got time to breathe on this we are to breathe on this show. we are going move on now and talk

going to move on now and talk about something actually, in a way, wish i wasn't way, makes me wish i wasn't breathing more. but anyway, breathing any more. but anyway, there the next three there we go. the next three episodes of harry and meghan's netflix series being netflix docu series are being all going to be released on all are going to be released on it. seems the it. first down, it seems the final are far final three episodes are far more controversial based on the latest trailer i get to now along with you . lucky us. have along with you. lucky us. have a quick glimpse of this trailer on, but i wasn't being thrown to the wolves. i was fed to the wolves. they were actively recruiting people , disseminate recruiting people, disseminate disinformation . they're happy to disinformation. they're happy to lie to protect my brother . they lie to protect my brother. they were never willing to tell the truth, to protect us us. well, commentator michael cole joins me now. should we strip them of that titles? got them stripped . that titles? got them stripped. patrick i've seen it three times. i think i'm going to recover . he starts off by recover. he starts off by talking about a flight to freedom as if he was on the last telecom toronto instead of saigon , 1975. if i had, he was saigon, 1975. if i had, he was on a private jet. meghan and that son going to a beautiful

house in beautiful british columbia . yeah, yeah. a vessel columbia. yeah, yeah. a vessel of paranoia is 71 seconds of betrayal and venom and princely paranoia , which is really not paranoia, which is really not very good . see. there's a lot of very good. see. there's a lot of mention of they they can say who is they? a parrot they told lies on behalf prince william. but they were not prepared. well, i'll tell truth to protect me . i i'll tell truth to protect me. i mean, i'm willing i'm willing to suspend my judgement when it comes to whether or not they actually name and shame because they go, they have to at some point maybe this is a way of teasing, as you and i and i both talk about who could they be less cheating to find out. but when it comes, prince harry potentially his brother potentially throwing his brother under bit as well, under the bus a bit as well, accusing institutional accusing of institutional gaslighting. what do gaslighting. i mean, what do you make you think this make of that? do you think this is this is actually we all is this is actually are we all are at the point now, monica, are we at the point now, monica, have actually some ongoing around in knocking on prince

harry's putting him harry's door and putting him in a straitjacket. that's a straitjacket. well that's a clinical decision i can't clinical decision that i can't make that gaslight was make but know that gaslight was a film in which a famous play in film in which a woman is treated very by a husband. so that thinks that she's going mad. but husband. so that thinks that she's going mad . but i husband. so that thinks that she's going mad. but i think the people who are really going mad , the people having watched this, let's ask the audience what , does institutional what, does institutional gaslighting in a royal context actually mean? it's really bizarre. the whole thing and it's another self pity episode setting now of course it's it of course is glossy of course it's slick and it's setting it up and forget patrick what this is all is ratings . forget patrick what this is all is ratings. it's a forget patrick what this is all is ratings . it's a commercial is ratings. it's a commercial organisation and meghan and harry have sold their souls and have they have and that probably comes through because i think is a catastrophic miscalculate and has been reflected by even the guardian stars. guardian giving it three stars. and have that. meghan and you would have that. meghan would and what would have read that and what they can't give the guardian of all people, can being

all people, can they, being institutionally all people, can they, being institutithem. well, go call. against them. well, go call. thank much. royal thank you very much. royal commentator michelle is commentator michelle dewberry is up dewbs & co james up next with dewbs& co james watson. you what's watson. hello i tell you what's not i won't be picking up not on. i won't be picking up your conversation about and your conversation that about and meghan an h and m freezer meghan it's an h and m freezer and but while and again tonight but while we'll talking about strikes and again tonight but while wecourse:alking about strikes and again tonight but while wecourse howig about strikes and again tonight but while wecourse how involved;trikes and again tonight but while wecourse how involved should of course how involved should the government be when it comes to these negotiations more or less . i've also got a solution. less. i've also got a solution. some of the nhs is worse. the health secretary can have that one for free on me. i want talk about post—brexit britain. who should we be doing trade deals with and apparently some civil have been told. patrick, don't call parties. christmas call you parties. christmas parties call them instead festive mixes or whatever houday festive mixes or whatever holiday things. so you don't offend people. i've got a simple if you're offended by christmas party, don't go to . yeah, i'm party, don't go to. yeah, i'm just more i'm more offended by the stuff that was at a christmas party, you know, is what goes on at christmas party stays in a christmas party. patrick well, only that were patrick well, if only that were true. thank you very true. michel, thank you very much, michel. jp james lots coming next. make you

coming your way next. make you tune that's always tune into that's always absolutely box office today will be oh cheeky little be no different oh cheeky little plug by be no different oh cheeky little plug by the way i am covering for later eight till for mark steyn later eight till nine we've got an obviously nine and we've got an obviously bumper for we are going to bumper show for we are going to be about latest be talking about the latest reveal it comes grooming reveal when it comes to grooming gangs miss that i know gangs do not to miss that i know is for as well is something for you as well also it islamism actually infiltrating our education system loads more system and loads loads more gbviews@gbnews.uk on gbviews@gbnews.uk will be on very . evening. i'm very shortly. good evening. i'm alex deakin and this is your latest weather update from the met the cold weather met office. the cold weather will through week. will continue through this week. ice frost will be prevalent ice and frost will be prevalent and the potential for a bit more snow in some areas. the uk is kind of surrounded low pressure systems, but no really having a direct on the uk, we're just staying in the cold conditions with snow showers around the edges. with snow showers around the edges . some with snow showers around the edges. some heavy with snow showers around the edges . some heavy snow falling edges. some heavy snow falling at the moment because shetland and the snow showers will into the mainland of northern scotland overnight across the southeast where we had the snow last night could be quite icy here . most places dry, some here. most places dry, some misty, murky conditions

persisting over central areas, but many places clear and that will lead it to turn minus five, minus six. even in some towns and cities, negative double figures across scotland, perhaps as low as —20 in some location as low as —20 in some location as more snow showers in here as well. so ice and snow is a risk in the morning over northern scottish still potentially icy across the southeast first thing and then a few showers just drift into scotland northeast england on they have england later on they could have some mixed in otherwise a some snow mixed in otherwise a largely dry day bright but again struggling to get much freezing. it will feel cold, particularly the winds pick up in the southwest. now here we are looking at some wet weather pushing in during the course tuesday evening. this will be a mixture of rain, sleet and snow difficult to say how far rain it's going to get, therefore, how snow we going to see. how much snow we going to see. but could be some across but there could be some across the tuesday the southwest during tuesday night and into wednesday morning, potentially here morning, potentially icy here again. wednesday morning again. then on wednesday morning , coming in , further snow showers coming in across northern and across northern scotland and a few more just coming down the east coast of england as well.

snow at low levels. we could see a centimetres of snow and a few centimetres of snow and more that over the hills . more than that over the hills. but be very hit and but they will be very hit and miss again. for most places, it's on wednesday, largely conditions but cold with the wind accentuating the cold, particularly northern parts of scotland. so staying cold this week, we do have warnings in place. see the met office website for more details on those .

yeah, well, we've been doing that. we always do enough already with the stick. i want to get unstuck. the daily mirror. now proud of you, england. home after world cup exit and. big freeze nightmare. children in ice lake terror. same story in the express children in ice lake terror.

gay rights , the rights of women gay rights, the rights of women , which are just appalling in that country , they have no that country, they have no rights. there is an app that i think there's been 1 million downloads whereby the men control the women . what they do, control the women. what they do, if they can get a driving licence, if they can get an education. it's endless . why go education. it's endless. why go to a country? the whole decision in the first place was off. it was wrong. it wasn't moral. and you know, they do all this sickness signalling. it's after the horse
