3:02 pm
your headline. good afternoon. it's 3:02 on rhiannon jones in the gb news. prince harry's reveal he found out his grandmother, queen elizabeth had died via a news website and not from his family. it's among a number of revelations from his memoir sparing feuding allegations. his brother, prince attacked him. the duke of sussex also claims he 25 taliban fighters in afghanistan. the admissions condemned by a senior taliban leader who's taken to twitter saying . they weren't twitter saying. they weren't chess pieces. they were humans. former royal castle john charles rea told us the book would be the end of harry's relationship with the royal family. these are machine gun rebels shins and accusations and it is staggering that he's come with all this stuff. i mean , to the point of stuff. i mean, to the point of being disgusting, some of the revelations. i don't believe harry is ever going to be
3:03 pm
forgiven for doing what he's with this book. i mean the documentaries and the oprah winfrey were bad enough, but this book is way out there really is . the prime minister's really is. the prime minister's ianed really is. the prime minister's invited union leaders , striking invited union leaders, striking workers to meet with him on monday. rishi sunak says he hopes for a grown up conversation about what's affordable . it comes as affordable. it comes as passengers express the fourth consecutive day of train strikes overjobs consecutive day of train strikes over jobs and conditions only % over jobs and conditions only% of services are operate as normal. mr. sunak says the government will try and ensure some continue during strike action. we're going to bring forward new laws in common with countries like france italy, spain and others that ensure that we have minimum levels . that we have minimum levels. safety in critical areas like fire, like ambulance , so that fire, like ambulance, so that even when strikes are going on, you know that your health will be protected. i think that's entirely reasonable and that's what our new laws will do.
3:04 pm
meanwhile, rmt general secretary mick lynch says doesn't think potential new laws will work. they've also lost the argument on the existing trade union laws because every union is defeating them by having mass ballots. they want to make the action that comes out of those ballots illegal. i don't it's going to work. i don't think they understand they're doing and they keep quoting goes on in france and spain and the rest of the world. these are laws have never been enforced in those countries. they're enacted countries. they're not enacted in shapps is in the same way that shapps is trying to in. flu cases in england's are continuing to rise start as ambulance. handover delays , a record high just. over delays, a record high just. over 40% of patients waited more than half an hour to be transferred to a&e, an average of just 5000 flu patients were in hospital last week. that's up 47% on the previous week . it comes amid a previous week. it comes amid a wave of strikes across the health sector. the royal college of nursing, though, says members will now consider a% pay rise
3:05 pm
and of the 19% originally demanded . health secretary steve demanded. health secretary steve barclay says he's for an agreement to be reached . well agreement to be reached. well i'm keen to have dialogue with pat cullen and osi and i wrote to them last week looking at the coming year and the pressures from inflation and cost of living, how we could work together to make any settlement more affordable in terms looking at what productivity opportunities there are, what efficiency opportunities , all efficiency opportunities, all because there's common ground in recognising that the nhs is under pressure and we need to respond to that . the average respond to that. the average house in the uk fell for a fourth consecutive month december. last month's prices dropped by 1.5, but compared to november means the average house price is now just ove r £281,000. price is now just over £281,000. halifax though says uncertainty over the cost living crisis and rising interest rates are slowing . housing market shell

3:07 pm
down an astonishing number of new books coming out during the pandemic . it's the sixth pandemic. it's the sixth consecutive year the number of bookshops has increased this is gb news read more as it now though it's backed . though it's backed. patrick write well it comes of escape. you'll notice that a stream of claims and accusations from prince harry's autobiography spare have now been leads. the book outlines grievances and in the royal family such as a claim that he and prince william urged their father not marry camilla, their father not marry camilla, the duke of sussex has also revealed the last words spoke to the late queen elizabeth. i think this is incredibly disrespectful, personally don't know about what you think, but really apparent. he whispered that he hoped that she happy and that he hoped that she happy and
3:08 pm
that she was with his grandfather. of course. that stuff not disrespectful, but stuff is not disrespectful, but i what you've i think revealing what you've just grandmas just into your dead grandmas ears on a death bed. i think is pretty shocking stuff . he's also pretty shocking stuff. he's also said that he learned of death from the bbc news website . what from the bbc news website. what have a little bit more detail on that. insight kensington that. some insight kensington palace palace palace and buckingham palace have both said they will not comment. arguably, comment. but arguably, the bigger me and bigger thing for you, me and ordinary out walking ordinary people out walking streets , i streets is the reaction, i think, from the taliban and potentially islamist extremists everywhere in relation to what he said about killing 25 members of the taliban that has caused a backlash. now normally i would not, of course, be annoyed at the taliban being annoyed, but if does impact on public if it does impact on public safety suspect safety generally, i suspect that's and get that's a little rub. and get your coming in. i want your views coming in. i want know what annoys you most about what found out so what you've found out so far from prince harry's spad from prince harry's book? spad gb news duke. but gb views gb news duke. but joining now is gb news is joining me now is gb news is royal cameron walker royal reporter cameron walker coming? start with the coming? should we start with the taliban? yeah. might well, there's get through. so there's a lot to get through. so prince claims on his prince harry claims on his second tour of afghanistan, he
3:09 pm
killed 25 taliban insurgents , killed 25 taliban insurgents, which has caused a bit of an uproar. well, let's honest in various circles online and elsewhere i spoke to a former maj gen army major a couple of hours ago and major chris hunter, and he told me that he's basically betrayed to the army prince harry by effectively boasting about the number of kills he had in afghanistan. here it is in modern technology possible to find out how many kills they had on any given mission but it's something you talk about in private with your comrades. it's not something you according to the major who i spoke to, he would speak about publicly he said it's very distasteful that prince harry chose to do that. then of course, we has the fact that the taliban , one of the taliban taliban, one of the taliban leaders has come out and said they want peace is on the chessboard which is what prince harry said refers to the taliban fighters as pieces on a chessboard that i needed remove
3:10 pm
rather than human beings and the taliban accused prince harry of war crimes and says that they were human beings, not pieces on a chessboard . and this raises a chessboard. and this raises a huge question about prince harry's security will, family security and any serving british, because it unfortunately leads the way to a bit of an issue with absolutely extremism. 100. i first read it and i thought maybe he's doing it as a desperate to try to get his own security back. he is. he's got a really ridiculous way about it. i think it puts military personnel at massive risk even more risk. i think it puts members of the even puts all members of the even more not need enrage more risk we not need to enrage people who support taliban any more frankly already have more than, frankly already have already emails from already got emails coming from former personnel, people former service personnel, people claiming former service claiming to be former service personnel. to those. personnel. i will go to those. surely i value your input. i think this than pretty think on this more than pretty much topics that i cover. much most topics that i cover. if armed forces or if were in our armed forces or are our armed forces. what do are in our armed forces. what do you harry's revelations you make of harry's revelations about members the
3:11 pm
about killing 25 members of the taliban? views gbnews.uk also taliban? gb views gbnews.uk also some revelations. cameron about the way that he found out about how queen's death. yes according to an extract published by the daily mail, prince harry claims that he found out that the queen had died by the bbc websites. now, what we do know, thinking to my recollections of that day , we were briefed i was briefed that harry and meghan would be going up to balmoral with prince william the earl and countess of wessex, etc. on. a chartered flight from northolt to aberdeen, then drive to aberdeen to be with the choir, then we were kind of briefed again in a very confused way that . oh no, very confused way that. oh no, it's only harry going up with the rest of the royal family then with the queen died and we found out about that. the what we now know is that the plane took off prince harry. prince harry had to make his own way up
3:12 pm
there . so presumably this is there. so presumably this is just speculation, but presumably he must have been told, in fact , he said that in one of the other extracts that he was given a phone call saying that the queen was dying, he needed to get up to scotland. and so he must been told that was must been told that she was dying. by time he dying. but by the time he landed, that's when the notification came up. because clearly don't have signal clearly you don't have signal on a plane absolutely and a plane yeah absolutely and a lot speculation to whether lot of speculation to whether or not was not not not the reason why was not not plain because he to plain is because he wants to travel with and meghan travel with meghan and meghan potentially to potentially was told not to go there have wait and see there will have to wait and see if detail on that but if more detail on that but cameron thank you very much i know that you're going be in know that you're going to be in throughout course of throughout the course of this show to these show reacting to all these latest revelations really latest revelations and really appreciate being on right at appreciate you being on right at the very top you should be. the very top as you should be. of dubois's royal said of course, dubois's royal said cameron joining us cameron walker that joining us now royal reporter now is other royal reporter jenny little bit jenny bound for a little bit more all of this more comments on all of this i think jenny later on in the show i'm going talking to former i'm going be talking to former service service service personnel. service personnel as well about the specifics national specifics about the national security specifics about the national securitto himself and our royal
3:13 pm
threat to himself and our royal family that harry may have caused result of this. so caused as a result of this. so i'm going to park that for now. and to a little bit and talk to you a little bit about whether or you think about whether or not you think disrespectful revealed disrespectful that he's revealed the whispered into the words that he whispered into our dead queen's ear on our recently dead queen's ear on a . well, i don't think a deathbed. well, i don't think it's the worst thing in the book by any means. it is very personal , by any means. it is very personal, and one would have thought it would be very private . but then he's revealed an awful of very personal and private things . this book, private things. this book, i mean, from his his frostbite on his torture, as he calls it, mean, from his his frostbite on his torture, as he calls it , to his torture, as he calls it, to how he lost virginity and a whole lot else . i think what whole lot else. i think what we're seeing here , harry we're seeing here, harry unleashed , harry unfiltered and unleashed, harry unfiltered and harry without taking control of his own narrative. and not gone too smoothly . no, it's not going too smoothly. no, it's not going too smoothly. no, it's not going to teach me. there may be an indication to why he did need to be kept within the firm, why they may were quite worried about him it alone, because this is kind tosh that you is the kind of tosh that you guys i just writing this
3:14 pm
guys now i am just writing this because it's out there the pubuc because it's out there the public domain apparently public domain harry apparently does king charles to does say that king charles to joke about whether not he his joke about whether or not he his father. your views on that . i father. your views on that. i think when you see the absolute full context of that remark it was it was he was he was with someone at a hospital or something, wasn't he? we need to see the full context. i think to be charitable, charles, he was just making a joke , which was just making a joke, which was not well thought through. clearly, harry the rumours about james hewitt and so did charles i mean it's long been proved that this absolute nonsense harry is a spencer through through. that's why he's got the red hair and. james hewitt hadnt red hair and. james hewitt hadn't met diana by the time harry was born, but nevertheless it's obviously hit deep, hit hard , harry. everything has i hard, harry. everything has i mean, the very fact that he was born in second in that family, second life seems have upset him from the very start. i mean,
3:15 pm
when you hear a smaller bedroom at balmoral castle, i mean, in this day and when we're all trying to put our houses and get to hospitals , whatever, to to hospitals, whatever, to complain that you had a smaller bedroom and your grandmother's castle in scotland . it's not castle in scotland. it's not great, is it? no exactly. although camilla and i did find this quite funny. to be fair, the idea that camilla turned his room into a wardrobe. the he moved out. i think a lot of people just gone off to university. can relate that colin that exactly the colin that it is exactly the crime the century. i do just crime of the century. i do just want to say, though, by the way, it is rare people will hear it is rare that people will hear a defence of prince harry from me on this particular show, but i if dad was joke, even i think if my dad was joke, even if it was a joke about my paternity, i think that even if it was just order to defend my mother and her honour, i would feel incredibly incredibly hurt about that. in fact, i think it's a bit disgusting, but we'll move on from that now and just about the reason potentially he had to in his views find out about the queen's death . a news about the queen's death. a news
3:16 pm
website shouldn't he have been on the same plane as prince william ? yeah, but obviously william? yeah, but obviously this seems to be in a bust up about whether meghan could go or not. you know, they are sort of stuck together like glue. and he was offended that his wife was not invited to go up there. but then they smoothed the water by saying, catherine wasn't going either because she was going to pick kids from school. pick up the kids from school. and it going to be okay. and so it was going to be okay. but that time, the plane had but by that time, the plane had left. that's, as i understand, the sequence but will the sequence of. but harry will find offence. seems almost find offence. it seems almost anything and shocked through the whole book is the idea he has been treated second class because he was born and that william i do have a bit of sympathy for him on this actually william gets away with stuff that harry can't and didn't . harry always got the didn't. harry always got the flak for the one who was out the nightclubs and a bit dishevelled and a bit drunk , tipping himself and a bit drunk, tipping himself out of a nightclub and then punching paparazzi . well, punching a paparazzi. well, william misbehaved quite badly.
3:17 pm
well, misbehaved. he had similar fun in nightclubs, but he didn't get caught. and i think it's probably true that william and catherine probably approved the uniform or , didn't see anything uniform or, didn't see anything wrong with it . harry alleges wrong with it. harry alleges that may well be the case as. well, but who got the blame? harry yeah, i get that. but i there's a certain irony there because i think one of the things that made harry most popular was this idea of him as a of animal and a bit of a party animal and a bit of a drop the lot actually, i think, in fact, that's one of the reasons why some people now are bit against because are a bit against him because they think changed so they think he's changed so fundamentally. people fundamentally. i think people listening quite endearing about the guy said go the idea of this guy you said go out get on it a bit to be honest you but i will return just quickly with you to this taliban comments know got comments i know i've got military experts later military experts on that later my inbox up with people my inbox is up with people who've very about who've got very views about prince the potential prince harry and the potential national security threat that he may not caused as may or may not have caused as a result, the taliban result, enraging the taliban rarely. one imagine that rarely. one would imagine that prince manages to unite. prince harry manages to unite. you argue right wing you could argue some right wing media indeed the taliban
3:18 pm
media and indeed the taliban in their of but he's their dislike of him, but he's managed do that. a page managed to do that. a page turner. say but turner. yeah have to say but when comes to these when it comes to these revelations that is doing it revelations that is he doing it just try to get his own just to try to get his own security back do you think . oh security back do you think. oh i knew i shouldn't have thought it was that. no i think it's part his sort of therapy way of looking at things that he says you know he's not ashamed of it is not proud it it's a it's a number and number that he recognises it is important to acknowledge a lot of what he says the interviews i'm not sure about the book seems to be therapy to me. and i that's that's part of it. i'm incredibly unwise and huge own goal and you're this is the top line i think almost of the whole book. yeah is look thank you very very much as ever great to have you all nice jenny royal commentator just have you all nice jenny royal commentatorjust providing a bit of colour to some of these revelations to hit you with a few of them. yes. he killed 25 members of the taliban, allegedly it just as in danger. you and me and the people on the

3:20 pm
why most of us have been dry. but these weather now edging in from are bringing wet from the west are bringing wet conditions. quite heavy conditions. some quite heavy rain across northern rain moving across northern ireland . scotland, ireland into. scotland, particularly south and particularly for south and southwest england . that heavy southwest england. that heavy rain through the early hours could cause a few problems. so we have office yellow we do have a met office yellow warning place of eastern warning in place of eastern england dry overnight england will stay dry overnight . northern turn dry . northern ireland will turn dry after midnight. temperatures actually in many places through the night we start the weekend in double digits. we also with a fair bit of rain around , still fair bit of rain around, still some heavy rain for wales and south—west england especially. first thing that rain will move eventually turning up , of eventually turning up, of course, east anglia in the southeast during morning and then head out into the north sea. it may linger across the eastern parts of england and scotland until around dusk. it'll be followed by drier, brighter weather for time and brighter weather for a time and then the showers get going of heavy showers zipping through on that gusty wind come the afternoon . temperatures actually afternoon. temperatures actually dropping through dropping a little through afternoon as well. so feeding cooler than done,

3:24 pm
3:25 pm
channel yeah. welcome back everybody. now, just before we do move to on those rail strikes, just a couple of quick emails for you, vaiews@gbnews.uk of you, lots of you getting in touch about the harry revelations. the prince harry revelations. i've annoys i've been asking what annoys you most what we know so far? most about what we know so far? is it the fact that he's potentially put us all in danger by revealing that he killed 25 members taliban? the members of the taliban? the taliban out against it taliban have come out against it obviously really obviously have not really a great thing is it enraging the terrorists the queen's death revealed whispered into revealed what he whispered into her recently dead air is a betrayal of our queen's privacy. also as well charles's dumb jokes as well . for want of a jokes as well. for want of a better phrase, apparently charles joking about whether charles is joking about whether or was his i've been
3:26 pm
or not he was his dad. i've been asking members our armed asking members of our armed services touch us services to get in touch with us and let know what they think and let us know what they think about prince graham about prince harry and graham has. just called him has. graham just called him a complete plonker to but complete plonker to be fat, but also jack on, he says also we've got jack on, he says he's a veteran. is an he's a veteran. harry is an embarrassment. put people in danger and it's not good. that's jack's view, right? moving jack's view, right? we're moving on that for a little on now from that for a little bit. in and out bit. we'll be dipping in and out of you can imagine of it. you can imagine throughout of this throughout the course of this show. but moving on the rail network ground to halt again network ground to a halt again in industrial in another wave of industrial action by the rmt union, only 20% of services have been running this 48 hour walkout, but government now planning but the government now planning on legislation to on introducing legislation to ensure a minimum service level is capped all times on essential industries. but as mick lynch has highlighted this may well not be a silver . has highlighted this may well not be a silver. in has highlighted this may well not be a silver . in fact, has highlighted this may well not be a silver. in fact, far from it because supposedly now we could have work to rule . poll we could have work to rule. poll hawkins is with us. gb news is reporter paul thank you very much great to have you on the show. good stuff paul. yeah, this work the rules stuff, frankly could be worse for good. then the strike action maybe
3:27 pm
that we've got a minute. do you want to just talk as what's been going the latest going on? what are the latest developments, strikes. developments, the strikes. yeah you've kind of put them in a nutshell that to be patrick look it's day four of another of this week's industria el action. this is the second walkout by the rmt 48 hour walkout. so today and tomorrow we had aslef there. the train drivers, their strike, and then before that we had two other days of the rmt of rmt action. now the government wants to introduce this legislation anti strike laws which effectively for rail fire rail services would introduce minimum level of service. we don't know what would be the exact definition of that the government say they will consult and introduce primary legislation. they'll introduce a more formal on potential later on. but that's what they want to do. they want to do it because they say that the strike action is disproportionate. it goes too on long, it's too big and it happens too frequently. but the unions, for their part, say no ,
3:28 pm
unions, for their part, say no, we're sorry. this is pretty angry about they say it's anti—democratic . we think it anti—democratic. we think it could potentially be illegal . if could potentially be illegal. if it does happen, we'll find a way it does happen, we'll find a way it by the as you say , work it by using the as you say, work to kind of principles , even to rule kind of principles, even organising more strikes instead of not nationally. so the unions are angry about it. and as you said, mick lynch , the general said, mick lynch, the general secretary of the rmt was here earlier today. us his feelings ? earlier today. us his feelings? well, we feel outraged . everyone well, we feel outraged. everyone else. it's been a set piece this this this government could have got some talks on this week, but instead they wanted to frame their announcement in the context railway strike. context of some railway strike. so to us from the so than talking to us from the 15th, they've decided to wait till next monday so that they could make this announcement. and of course, what this is, is an attack human rights and an attack on human rights and civil it's important an attack on human rights and civa it's important an attack on human rights and civa free it's important an attack on human rights and civa free societys important an attack on human rights and civa free society that)ortant an attack on human rights and civa free society that have it an attack on human rights and civa free society that have free in a free society that have free trade unions. in a free society that have free trade unions . and now they've trade unions. and now they've lost the argument about issues about public are funded, how about how public are funded, how pubuc about how public are funded, how public sector workers are treated. they they've also lost the argument on the existing nanny trade union laws because
3:29 pm

3:36 pm
3:37 pm
3:38 pm
are we all now safe on the streets? thanks to harry, a taliban spokesperson called on prince harry to face trial for war crimes. that's after he claims to have killed 25 taliban fighters on second tour of afghanistan . describing his time afghanistan. describing his time in the military, the duke sussex said he saw enemy combatants as chess pieces on the ball . that chess pieces on the ball. that had to be taken out, but the revelation has been greeted with consternation from some military figures who say such statements can imperil security. not one would imagine, just for his own family. call me a cynic. only imagine , harry. a of him wants imagine, harry. a of him wants to do this to try to get back state sponsored security for his family. that's just the cynic in. i think he's endangered his own wife and children. i think he's endangered our royal family even more than they already are. i think he's endangered. some
3:39 pm
would importantly in would say more importantly in a very sense. a number very real sense. in a number sense. you me and everyone that we hold dear . sense. you me and everyone that we hold dear. because actually, do need enrage the taliban do we need to enrage the taliban and radical islamists? we have something like 7000 people every single year referred to our prevent program. now we've just given them, for want of better given them, for want of a better phrase, a bit more ammunition. haven't you very much, haven't we. thank you very much, harry. taliban kicked harry. the taliban have kicked off, rare, isn't off, although it is rare, isn't it? unite members of the press and.the it? unite members of the press and. the taliban, in your consternation. with is consternation. with me now is major general chapman , major general chip chapman, former counter—terrorism former head of counter—terrorism at modi. thank you very much at the modi. thank you very much great have you on the. great to have you back on the. look are we in any way shape or form less safe now potentially as a result of prince harry's comments ? yeah, i think we comments? yeah, i think we probably are . so if you're going probably are. so if you're going to write a book like did, it should actually go for legal, ethical and security, read to the mod because two things are likely to pertain an operational security risk , opsec and security risk, opsec and personal security risks. so the first one is potentially a risk to him. the wider royal family
3:40 pm
either the taliban or the wider jihadist movement, which of course, as both grievances and ideology , the more widely the ideology, the more widely the more universal over the global, might take the view that harry has said he killed 25 people. he's our brothers and therefore it is for us to seek vengeance on the infidels. and you and i neverin on the infidels. and you and i never in the uk is one of those potential infidels and we know that the jihad is seen as pretty diverse, both on the right wing extremism side and on the islamist side. extremism side and on the islamist side . and i can quickly islamist side. and i can quickly go from a position of online radicalisation which the press about may indeed make them do into a position and posture where they might attack people. yeah indeed. now, this lot don't need any more justification, even because i know that they take a very walk interpretation of the koran and islamist ideology and therefore they already though they're already feel as though they're serving power. and serving a much higher power. and that justifies action. that is that justifies action. but this is increased . we but now this is increased. we sent over there who was sent someone over there who was at the time serving member of
3:41 pm
royal family in the name of at the time, queen and country to go and kill members of the taliban. and surely now the risk of retaliatory attacks on the streets of britain has increased . yeah, that might be true. and you've to look at a number of metrics for this and of course the first one would be will the threat level go up? so look for that. so at the moment, threat level is substantial. i suspect it go off at the moment . it won't go off at the moment. all the security agencies will be the horizon and the be scanning the horizon and the various publications , the various publications, the jihadist movements for that to see what the sort of mood music is in the encrypted sort websites that they go to see if this is something that we should worry about. and of course, the taliban actually said that harry should be up in front of a crime. he's a war criminal now. but i would say on that is it seems to me one of the things that he did do, which is he should probably done a bit of in
3:42 pm
terms of what we've seen of the book so far as he mentioned, that wanted to on with that he wanted to get on with his intact and that the only time he didn't do he didn't shoot the shots he thought twice about were the ones he had not taken that is he probably appued taken that is he probably applied lots of armed conflict. and the times he did was legitimate proportionate , legitimate proportionate, necessary. so i think on that, that's a sort of win for him. but more globally, he would say that, you know, he was he's not only servant of the crown, he's part of the royal family and in terms of the values and standards of the armed forces, he quite few of you he broke quite few of them, you know, respect others know, respect for others integrity, loyalty, selfless commitment. really , commitment. all of this really, that he more towards being that he was more towards being a soldier than the prince, that he often said that he had reversed . and for is , look, i have . and for me, is, look, i have an immense amount of respect for anyone who joins our armed forces , anyone who is willing to forces, anyone who is willing to make ultimate sacrifice and make the ultimate sacrifice and indeed well , live with the indeed is, well, live with the horrors of the that they horrors of the things that they have to see and go through. i can only imagine how terrifying that and i am very vocal
3:43 pm
that is. and i am very vocal about fact that i don't about the fact that i don't think that we always treat returning of armed forces returning of our armed forces with dignity and with the with the dignity and with the respect the that respect and with the care that we can health crises, we can mental health crises, housing etc. issues housing crisis, etc. issues with addiction all that kind of addiction, all of that kind of stuff. but when it comes to pubuc stuff. but when it comes to public your kill count, that's really the done thing in the military, is it? no i'm not. i think pretty sceptical about that. so that's the first reason is harry was in an apache helicopter. an apache helicopter . it is a crude piece of equipment for two people. so is he really telling us that they killed 50 in the apache and he had half of that can . did he had half of that can. did he claim all 25? you know, the other guy didn't. he was firing 30 millimetre cannon, 70 millimetre rockets and hellfire missiles. some of these, you know , destroy people and blow know, destroy people and blow them bits . you can't i.d. them to bits. you can't i.d. these and very were they all counted so sceptical counted so i'm sceptical a number the numbers should not have been anyway that's a disaster. i mean people just don't talk about these things in open forums or. they may have
3:44 pm
you swinging a lamp 1 to 1 with a mate, but very people actually know how many people they killed. it's pretty irrelevant. you're trying to achieve your mission not by saying how many you kill . sometimes it's you can kill. sometimes it's used propaganda effect in used for propaganda effect in terms you know, example terms of, you know, for example , the female sniper in the soviet union who killed 300 people in the soviet union. that's for information operations. very people will operations. very few people will be tell you, oh, be able to tell you, oh, i killed x of people and killed x number of people and very very few people want very many, very few people want to know that information . now, to know that information. now, you mentioned there the you just mentioned there the validity of this number. that is said, i absolutely defer to your on this. he seems to be saying that with the technology that he's got he can be absolutely certain he's killed 25 people on his second tour. i mean the only thing worse than up a potential international and national and family based jihadi security risk would be if he's actually based on lies. so you sceptical about the truth of it. sounds you are . i'm sceptical about the
3:45 pm
you are. i'm sceptical about the number, not the fact that people weren't killed. just think that's very difficult . ascertain that's very difficult. ascertain you know, for example you could have an aircraft flying over taliban because didn't have one which could be shot at from various locations and different people. ten different weapon systems could claim that they took that down. and i think this is this is the same in terms of incidents because that's harry was there to support ground troops. ground troops were pretty thin on the ground, which is why relied on aircraft is why isaf relied on aircraft artillery, both close air support. cab ranked combat air patrols and apache helicopters to and overcome that a deficiency in the number of infantry on the ground . just infantry on the ground. just before i let you get going very quick one to finish with should he still be with the invictus games. a lot of our viewers are getting say that getting into this. just say that i he should be. no, i think he should be. no, i think he should still in that he's a veteran. he set it up than star is diminished. let him have that because still have that because that still a purpose wounded veterans purpose for the wounded veterans .thank purpose for the wounded veterans . thank very much , major
3:46 pm
. thank you very much, major general chip chapman, the former head counterterrorism head of counterterrorism at the mod, reacting . prince harry mod, reacting. prince harry publishing kill count or publishing his kill count or alleged count and the alleged kill count and the consequence that might for consequence that might have for you may his of course royal you may his of course the royal family as a wider context your views that are very welcome especially you are either serving in the armed forces have served the armed forces do . served in the armed forces do. you think it puts more people at risk. do you think? it's distasteful back him distasteful or do you back him as well, you fair play as well, do you think fair play to who went there, maybe to the guy who went there, maybe suffered as suffered a bit mentally as a result of it. and he's got every right to come out and talk about it. gb views gb news duke talking views. we love you talking of views. we do love you here. i have got some interesting revelations your way shortly much it costs shortly about, how much it costs to deport a channel and this is all around a new gb news all based around a new gb news people's . so we like to survey people's. so we like to survey the nation . me the results of the nation. me the results of the nation. me the results of the latest vote are in. once again they reveal a valuable insight into you and your minds.
3:47 pm
of course, the small boats crisis remains a real area of concern . 57% of those people concern. 57% of those people polled said they weren't confidence in the government's ability to get the crisis under control. bear in mind, just a couple of days our prime minister stood up and said, i promise to stop the small boats . only 4% said they were completely or fairly . the completely or fairly. the government can solve the problem. we also heard from keir starmer. he didn't really talk about shadow migrants. it very rarely does. only he has rarely does. the only he has said he wants to tackle the said is he wants to tackle the people gangs and speed people smuggling gangs and speed up lot of people points out up. a lot of people points out the processing i should say a lot people out the lot of people pointing out the rate which we improve the rate with which we improve the asylum is above a lot asylum claims is way above a lot of european countries. so of other european countries. so up just mean more people up might just mean more people quickly. i wanted know quickly. anyway, i wanted know what some other political parties were planning on doing about the small boats and about the small boats crisis and whether you the people whether or not you the people had confidence in them. so had more confidence in them. so i've got rebecca jane only as leader thank you very leader of ukip. thank you very much, rebecca, great to have you on show no surprise that the on the show no surprise that the vast the british
3:48 pm
vast majority of the british pubuc vast majority of the british public any confidence public don't have any confidence that anything that tory party will do anything to small boats crisis. to solve the small boats crisis. what you do if what would what would you do if what would we do ? so our plan is very we do? so our plan is very different to , all of them. so different to, all of them. so our biggest issue is that they actually get to shore and we would look to stop that. well, we want to it. so we actually have plan where compared to shipping containers would be a holding facility and it would actually stop people getting to the shore because once they get shore, they abscond, then they go into the systems and this is one of the reasons why our country can't. that's the country can't. so that's the biggest is that that's biggest for us, is that that's how it. but then how we would do it. but then first all, we've got to start first of all, we've got to start looking making it an actual looking at making it an actual deterrent. nobody's going to want across the want to try and across the channel end up in shipping channel and end up in a shipping container middle of the container in the middle of the sea. then obviously sea. and then obviously true people need help would people that need any help would actually but for me actually come here. but for me personally , for the next five personally, for the next five years, potential even longer, we need complete , utter need to have a complete, utter stop everybody coming this stop on everybody coming this country because we need to help the are here. and the people that are here. and i would put a complete block on
3:49 pm
people, even if they were genuinely war and persecution in that country for five years. yes and i think that we need to look at other links with other countries to actually help deal with . i don't think we should be with. i don't think we should be complete totally inhumane. you know, we to have a plan to deal with these people. but there's one thing that's very clear. our can't cope with any more. we can't cope with it any more. we come to a breaking point. you know, about the united kingdom as boat. there's only as being own boat. there's only so many people are to be so many people are going to be able in that boat before able to get in that boat before the boat sinking. the boat is absolutely sinking on one day at least. stop talking least. so has to stop talking off. mentioned that about off. you mentioned that about putting containers off. you mentioned that about puwhatever containers off. you mentioned that about puwhatever offshore )ntainers off. you mentioned that about puwhatever offshore asainers off. you mentioned that about puwhatever offshore as a1ers off. you mentioned that about puwhatever offshore as a ass off. you mentioned that about puwhatever offshore as a as an or whatever offshore as a as an offshore processing centre. i can't see the behind that. what would you say to people who would you say to people who would say that would result in them being kept in inhumane conditions ? well we wouldn't put conditions? well we wouldn't put them in inhumane conditions. what, because we're very
3:50 pm
civilised and wonderful country, we would make sure that they were taken care of, but not the expense of the british people by providing goodness . how much providing goodness. how much private health care for knows how long and the benefits they are getting it presents and putting them in four or five star hotels. there is absolutely no need that to be happening . so no need that to be happening. so we put them in inhumane we wouldn't put them in inhumane condition it condition. we would do it appropriately. and then very appropriately. and then a very humane . now what i think is humane way. now what i think is fascinating is , a little bit of fascinating is, a little bit of a spin, i think, of some of the headunesi a spin, i think, of some of the headlines i saw earlier today teased the british and our viewers and listeners earlier about how much people think it might cost . put a child migrant might cost. put a child migrant on a plane , deport them, on a plane, deport them, apparently is a thousand pounds per person. this information has come as a result of a freedom of information which indicated that january and october 2022, there was a cost january and october 2022, there was a cos million, removing was a cost £11 million, removing those with no right to remain in united kingdom . of course, united kingdom. of course, i suppose it very much depends on many people you put on each fly, doesn't it. but these are the
3:51 pm
figures we've got at the figures that we've got at the moment. but do you know a thing, rebecca, when look at the rebecca, when people look at the cost it is to put them in cost that it is to put them in various different hotels, food, etc, and maybe etc, of course, and then maybe as them into social as well release them into social housing have housing stock and have any children, using public children, etc. using public services actually cost is a services actually that cost is a lot greater, isn't absolutely? it's absolutely extortionate and it's not just a case of we're deaung it's not just a case of we're dealing with a situation and quickly they are you know what taking yes the processes applications and most of them are completely and utterly fabricated . you know albania is fabricated. you know albania is not a country that needs people to claim asylum. it's a thing. so, yes, the cost it right now is out control. and when we talk about, you know, putting them in social housing and everything else, i understand want to try and make an argument for the fact that obviously they need help . while some people need help. while some people need help. while some people need help. but the british people , help. but the british people, our veterans and our homeless are going out onto the streets .
3:52 pm
are going out onto the streets. they're not being given social housing. why do we get that? look, rebecca, you very much as even look, rebecca, you very much as ever. rebecca jane, the deputy leader ukip. we heard what leader of ukip. we heard what rishi had to say earlier rishi sunak's had to say earlier about. rishi sunak's had to say earlier about . plans stop the about. his plans to stop the small boat crossings. he's hung his hat. it isn't. see, there's a little bit of jeopardy in what said that about whether or not we judge by that. it's we should judge by that. it's going to get it. 57% going to be tough to get it. 57% of people that they don't of people said that they don't believe actually believe you'll actually do much about keir starmer not about it. keir starmer i'm not really sure that many people he'll do much about it. you've heard to do a heard ukip are going to do a complete anyone coming complete on anyone coming for five to after the five years to look after the people we've got here, people that we've got here, supposedly offshore supposedly plus offshore shipping containers to introduce what regard as what they would regard as deterrent. you feel about deterrent. how do you feel about that the that compared to what the leaders main two parties leaders of our main two parties have been saying? but are have been saying? but we are staying with this gb news people's poll now support respondents for britain rejoining fell apparently rejoining the eu fell apparently that was after they were provided details of what it would actually entail when people were informed that rejoining the european union would mean rejoining the single market schengen area and other
3:53 pm
institutions support for the bloc declined by four points. who better talk with us about than our very own political reporter is olivia. olivia these results. do you make of it? results. what do you make of it? yeah interesting. yeah really interesting. essentially for the last few months. well years, really, we've seen that support for brexit been declining brexit has been declining generally in the polls , not generally in the polls, not every single poll, but that's the trend that we've been seeing generally what matthew goodwin commissioned this poll did was shake up the question a bit. so instead rejoin the eu or stay stay with brexit. the question was rejoin the eu which would mean signing up to the schengen area, signing up to many more eu institu tunes than we were into. we were actually in the eu last time or leave then see a majority of people voting for leave which very interesting because essentially if britain were to join the eu, it is expected really unlikely that we would get the same sort of deal as we had last time. britain was always sort of half in half out of the eu. we would never
3:54 pm
schengen of course there were plenty other exceptions that we got to general eu membership , got to general eu membership, but obviously the eu wouldn't us those sorts of exceptions again they felt they they made very difficult for us to get out and they would also make it very difficult for us to get in otherwise. that's the kind of idea that you can come and go from the eu. exactly. yeah, exactly. have to prostrate ourself. they, they have to frustrate. and we would frustrate. exactly. and we would to sign up all sorts of to sign up to all sorts of conditions. so it what poll conditions. so it what this poll basically brings to light is the idea that rejoining the eu might be what people imagine it to and rejoining the eu in reality would involve something which we are not familiar with the tool in this country and that is quite unpopular here. thank you very much. short and sweet, but i'm sure you'll be back a little bit later on for us. olivia utley. gb news, political reporter. you're with me in patrick christys gb news. what an people. got an hour? those people. i've got two coming way. loads two more coming your way. loads more. and his more. prince harry and his big revelation . your what's revelation. your views. what's
3:55 pm

4:03 pm
of the revelations. i don't believe that harry is ever going to be forgiven for doing what he's done with this book. i mean the documentaries and the oprah winfrey were bad enough, but this book is way out there really is . the prime minister really is. the prime minister hasianed really is. the prime minister has invited leaders representing striking workers to meet with him on monday. rishi sunak says he hopes for a grown up conversation about what's affordable. it comes as experience. the fourth consecutive day of trains strikes over jobs, pay consecutive day of trains strikes overjobs, pay and strikes over jobs, pay and working conditions only , 20% of working conditions only, 20% of services operating as normal . services operating as normal. mr. sunak says the government will and ensure some services continue during industrial action . we're going to bring action. we're going to bring forward laws in common with countries france, italy, spain and others that ensure that we have minimum levels of safety in, critical areas like fire, like so that even when strikes are going on, you know that your health will be protected. i
4:04 pm
think that's entirely reasonable and that's what our new laws will do. but the rmt general secretary mick lynch , he doesn't secretary mick lynch, he doesn't think the potential new laws will work. they've also lost the argument on the existing trade union laws because every union is them by having mass ballots, they want to make the action that comes out of those ballots illegal. i don't think it's going to work. i don't think they understand what doing. they they understand what doing. they they keep quoting what on in france and spain and all the rest of the world. these these laws have never been enforced in those not those countries. they're not enacted same that enacted in the same way that grant is trying to bring grant shapps is trying to bring in flu cases in england's hospitals are continuing to rise as ambulance handover delays hit as ambulance handover delays hit a record high just 40% of patients waited, more than half an hour to be transferred to a&e last. an average of just over 5000 flu patients were in hospital . that's up 47% on the hospital. that's up 47% on the previous week. it comes amid a wave of strikes across health sector. the royal college of nursing now says their members

4:08 pm
want phrase and not want of a better phrase and not one thing, charles, marry one thing, charles, to marry camilla now there's camilla. but now there's something startling something even more startling that's prince that's emerged. actually, prince harry, into princess harry, the inquiry into princess diana's death to be reopened . diana's death to be reopened. and get this, he to believe that she faked her death. that's according to revelations in his new memoir, spare. he how after his mother's death , he was left his mother's death, he was left in balmoral castle with nothing to do but roam the whole with a suspicion taking hold . it was suspicion taking hold. it was all a trick played by diana. kensington palace and buckingham palace have both said they will not. comments on the revelations in book. joining me now is gb news is royal reporter cameron walker blinking or miss it when it comes to revelations of this book firstly initially as a child she'd faked her child he thought she'd faked her own so this is own death maybe yes so this is in the aftermath princess in the aftermath of princess diana's prince. harry was with his brother and the queen and prince charles at balmoral castle in. and he said was left with nothing to do this, according an extract of prince william's book , which has been william's book, which has been published by page six, the us website . he had nothing to do
4:09 pm
website. he had nothing to do but roam castle say thoughts went into his head that princess diana had faked her her own death in order to get away from press entry in perhaps a little bit of wishful on with a kind hearts of a 12 year old boy he's just lost his mother. i think the most serious points which prince harry has made in memoir is the fact that he claims , him is the fact that he claims, him and his brother then now prince of wales and what talks out of calling for re—investigation into princess diana's death by and i quote the powers that be does quite startling really so clearly that according to harry both him and a future king prince william one said her death be reinvestigated know the conspiracy theorists have said rather a lot about the death of diana. we didn't particularly want to necessarily down that rabbit hole. but the fact is they were talked out it . that they were talked out of it. that is what prince harry is claiming
4:10 pm
in his new memoir. but this is what official investigation what the official investigation we know that happens. there was the investigation in 2006. they that princess, it was a tragic accident the car crashed in that tunnelin accident the car crashed in that tunnel in paris and that diana was killed . the 2008 income test was killed. the 2008 income test found that diana had been unlawfully killed alongside her then partner fayed. and as a result of gross negligence by both the driver henri paul. he was under the influence of alcohol and the paparazzi who were pursuing them on motorbike and the fact that they once wearing seatbelts all of that contributed to princess diana's . interestingly, immediately that the inquest conclusion in 2008 the prince william and released a joint statement they agreed with that verdict. so clearly now the facts the prince harry is saying that he was talked out of calling for a
4:11 pm
re—investigation and i think perhaps speaks volumes. it's stirring up clearly a traumatic moment for both prince and prince harry. and clearly it's something that perhaps prince william, i would imagine does not want in the public domain . not want in the public domain. all of this is coming out again, 25 years after the princess's. absolutely. cameron, thank you very much. bringing us up to date when it comes these ever more startling revelations , more startling revelations, prince harry's memoir, cameron walker there gb news is a royal reporter. joining us is reporter. joining us now is royal commentator michael cole. michael, you. i do want to michael, thank you. i do want to ask you about your take when it comes to prince harry revealing that he was talked out of, pushing for a re—investigation into , his mother's death , into, his mother's death, presumably. now, this is a field day for conspiracy theories . day for conspiracy theories. this quite something, isn't it, patrick? for once, a royal that leon , that lives up to the leon, that lives up to the prince publication hype . prince prince publication hype. prince harry hasn't just blown the doors of buckingham palace ,
4:12 pm
doors of buckingham palace, detonated a huge landmine under it, which is rocking the royal edifice and indeed the british establishment. well, i've known for some years that prince harry has never accepted the authorised version that his mother died in a tragic . yeah, mother died in a tragic. yeah, let me just come in there, michael . let let me just come in there, michael. let me just come in there, because that's a really point. so as far as you are aware, prince harry has never accepted the version of events that his mother was killed by, a drunk driver in a tragic accident under a bridge in paris whilst chased by the paps. what does he correct? correct he accepted . he believes his mother accepted. he believes his mother was killed . indeed. that was the was killed. indeed. that was the verdict of the 11. good. and true. london men and women who made up the jury at inquest into princess diana's death and dodi fired stars in two thousand and seven eight. they were told by the coroner lord thomas baker , the coroner lord thomas baker, that they couldn't return a
4:13 pm
verdict of murder. and they brought in the most serious the most grave verdict they could which was unlawful killing . now which was unlawful killing. now they accepted it , as which was unlawful killing. now they accepted it, as cameron said , and they put out said, and they put out a statement that mr. mohamed outside accepted it. but he said at the same time , he hoped that at the same time, he hoped that in due time , new evidence would in due time, new evidence would be adduced, which would lead to re—opening of a proper inquiry into this matter. re—opening of a proper inquiry into this matter . and i can only into this matter. and i can only say that it have helped . ten say that it have helped. ten years ago, 12 years ago, 25 years ago, 12 years ago, 25 years ago. if the royal princes had voiced their misgivings then because for ten years, mohammed , aside from the death of his son on beloved friend diana princess of wales for ten years, he was a lonely voice in the wilderness and he was being attacked on all sides by the media. and he only his persistence managed to even get a joint inquest in london. and the jury did their best. but
4:14 pm
there no doubt that harry is right on that it does need whether this is the right way to go about his and others thing, patrick. well, i've got to ask. mark, i'm sorry. i've got to . so mark, i'm sorry. i've got to. so they weren't allowed to return verdict of murder . they they weren't allowed to return verdict of murder. they did return a verdict of unlawful killing . what's the implication killing. what's the implication here, michael well, they . if you here, michael well, they. if you read the judge's summing the judge, it was a coroner and his opening statements, he said , i opening statements, he said, i was sitting there quite clearly , the verdict of murder is not open to you. you see there , was open to you. you see there, was never an the french inquiry was into a traffic accident . they into a traffic accident. they were not aware that the princess had predicted her own death in very similar circumstances to the that it actually happened . the that it actually happened. had they known about the mishcon note the note her solicitor made
4:15 pm
and the bar note the note in her handwriting where she predicted her death in a car crash. had those notes been to the french inquiry, they wouldn't have investi as a traffic accident . i investi as a traffic accident. i have started looking at it as a crime scene and prince harry is wrong about a lot of things and we could list them and i think he's about this the wrong way but he's not wrong that there never a thoroughgoing inquiry. what the establishment wanted was to hash it out as much as possible . i sat there for six possible. i sat there for six months listening to the inquests and there was every impetus on the jury bring in the accidental death verdict. but they refused to do so because they heard everything . michael this is everything. michael this is interesting stuff . obviously, interesting stuff. obviously, we're raising this now. if people are just joining us because prince harry's latest revelations are that he had that his mum was faking her own death as any child. obviously would.
4:16 pm
and then, of course, on top that he said that he wanted to reinvestigate a death. he was blocked by the powers that be. michael, i was not aware the jury michael, i was not aware the jury in this investigation initially, the inquest initially were not allowed return were not allowed to return a verdict to murder, i must say, unlawful killing. yeah, they could death could have got accidental death . no, michael, i have got ask . no, michael, i have got to ask again, implication here is, again, the implication here is, what that someone ? wanted her what is that someone? wanted her dead ? well, i think the dead? well, i think the implication is and it's amazing what we find out when you when you ask perceptive questions as you ask perceptive questions as you custom do the patrick know if you read through transcript blair certainly the establishment here wanted to get past this as soon as they possibly could and they wanted an accident death verdict. what they didn't that and as you've just also said harry without naming them they said that powerful forces men we presume within the palace talked him and
4:17 pm
prince because prince william had grave misgivings. a about about what had happened . they about what had happened. they were talked out having a press conference and announcing that they to have another thorough inquiry into the death of their of that of their mother and of course dodi fired and it's interesting what , harry says. interesting what, harry says. i he's said on several occasions that he's living out the destiny of his mother moving to california even when diana was considering going to live with dodi in malibu. it's very fascinating. i mean, there's lot in this book, as i say it's explosive. it's heartfelt. yeah. there's going to be plenty of criticism of it . that central criticism of it. that central point is not wrong on and when you look at how clearly damaged prince harry now there's a lot of different things in his life that could have damaged him to
4:18 pm
active tours of duty, the killing 25 members of the taliban for example. clearly mother's death and just generally a member of the royal family. i don't think really disputes that the way and i want to make this point, which is don't really think anyone disputes harry had a difficult upbringing and that being a member of the royal family whilst you have i'm amazed luxuries and huge opportunities and whilst people don't forgive him for his kind non—stop whingeing now i think whingeing right now i think everyone can understand that it must have been difficult for the for like growing up and you for the like growing up and you add the death of his add to that the death of his mother never fully the mother if he has never fully the version of events that his own mother was killed by a drunk driver under a bridge in paris. tragic accident chased the tragic accident chased by the paps and he was blocked in his view blocks from reinvestigating that and is clearly very suspicious of the forces that be behind scenes in this country. can you understand why that might screwed him up a bit? yeah also, i don't think the cocaine and the which is admitted to a very kind of help either. but,
4:19 pm
you know, you just have to we have to read the book in its engush have to read the book in its english version. but don't forget that her majesty the queen in that was never challenged , allegedly said to or challenged, allegedly said to or to paul burrell when he was leaving royal service take careful st campo . there are dark careful st campo. there are dark forces in this about which we little know . i mean, that was . little know. i mean, that was. that was the warning, if ever i heard one. so listen, i'm not making a case for anything. i'm an advocate for anybody. i no longer have the privilege of speaking. mr. al—fayed i know that he will be encouraged by what prince harry has said, and he will also be grateful for the kind words that that prince harry has said about dodi , his harry has said about dodi, his character, and how how he made his mother, princess, happy. put a big red hearts in her eyes as he put, so that they're all some things in there . i think people
4:20 pm
things in there. i think people can take as being utterly truthful . he may be misguided. truthful. he may be misguided. he be mixed up. i'm not a clinician . i can't tell you clinician. i can't tell you whether that is true or not. i'm not a psychologist and nor you as far as i know. patrick have many gifts so we don't know. but quite france quite clearly here , he's felt the compulsion to bnng , he's felt the compulsion to bring all this out into the open. it's not royal way. it's not the advisable way. and if i were giving him pr advice, i would have said, don't do it . would have said, don't do it. yeah, look, thank you very much, michael. michael cole, that royal commentator for the vast majority of that interview, anyway, to the latest revelations to come out of prince harry's book, which all he initially hoped that diana and featuring death to get away from the perhaps that's of course as a young boy in the immediate aftermath of finding out mother had passed. out that his mother had passed. i think everyone can of course, to can understand that to that i can understand that now, revelation now, though, this revelation that him and that says that both him and william wanted there to be a
4:21 pm
re—invested investigation reopened into mother's death, not accepting clearly the verdict at the time and i think it is interesting because with everything that harry has done here now with revealing the number of people he's killed fighting the taliban, now potentially has drugged other people his family, owes people into it his family, owes in terms of national security and a terrorist. in terms of national security and a terrorist . when you look and a terrorist. when you look at now the revelations about mother and his his concerns, maybe was a bit something maybe there was a bit something untoward on that untoward that was going on that has not right to his has that not right to load his stuff up william is not stuff up for william is it not right to this stuff up for right to load this stuff up for the family camilla, of the royal family camilla, of course, say that he course, as well. now say that he begged charles. he begged dad for camilla not to be his wicked, as it were. i can't but wonder now, harry getting wonder now, with harry getting a lot his and maybe lot of his chest and maybe trying himself feel, is trying to make himself feel, is he making it lot worse for he making it a lot worse for a lot of other people? and is that fact? that the kind fact? is that the kind benevolent to do? i'm not benevolent thing to do? i'm not sure it is. gb views i gb news duke. i get those years coming in revelations that in the latest revelations that prince wanted into prince harry wanted the into diana's reopened but diana's death to be reopened but was talked out of it by the
4:22 pm
powers that be coming out. we've got latest on dispute got the latest on that dispute between rail and the between rail unions and the government. sunak's government. rishi sunak's attempting to implement laws which the which would enable the government some if government to sue some if they don't minimum levels. don't provide minimum levels. the unions are not taking this lying down, by the way. they're saying might work to rule, saying they might work to rule, which frankly actually could be quite the on quite bad. but all the latest on that and course, the people's that and of course, the people's power comes to many of power when it comes to many of you that our you don't believe that our government do anything in government will do anything in the o. government will do anything in the 0. channel do you know how much deport much it costs to actually deport migrant .
4:23 pm
4:24 pm
right. well, moving away from harry and talking about strikes people. okay another of your top favourites but we'll try and make it interesting. members of the union have walked today, the rmt union have walked today, leaving trains leaving just 20% of trains running. the government is now planning on introducing legislation a minimum legislation to ensure a minimum serve as level safe service
4:25 pm
level is capped at all times and essential industry. so that means that they don't provide a service. they could be sued by the government. i'm not sure exactly how much they will care about that. but in last few about that. but in the last few hours, the prime has spoken to broadcasters where he was quizzed would do to quizzed on what he would do to stop constant action. now, stop the constant action. now, with regard to strikes yesterday , the government wrote to all union leaders inviting them in for talks. on monday . now for talks. on monday. now incredibly value the important work that our public workers do especially our nurses and we want to have an honest , grown up want to have an honest, grown up conversation about what's affordable what's responsible for the country. those invitations have gone out. i'm hopeful that those meetings can happen on monday so we can have a productive conversation and find through this. so i find a way through this. so i fully believe in the union's role in our society and the freedom for them to strike . but freedom for them to strike. but i also believe that that should be balanced with the right of ordinary working people go about their from , their lives free from,
4:26 pm
significant disruption . and significant disruption. and that's why we're going to bring forward in common with forward new laws in common with countries like france, italy, spain and others that ensure that we have minimum of safety in areas like fire, like so that even when strikes are on, you know, that your health will be protected. i think that's entirely reasonable. and that's what our new laws do. and we've always been that we want to have always been that we want to have a grown up , honest conversation, a grown up, honest conversation, a grown up, honest conversation, a two way conversation with union. and that's why the government has written all departments have written to all their unions, inviting them for talks on monday. so we can have those conversations, talking what's affordable, what's reasonable, what's responsible for country. i think everyone agrees that the most pressing economic policy have is reducing the cost living and getting a grip of inflation . the best way grip of inflation. the best way we can do that to ease the cost of living, not only for nurses but for everyone . it's better but for everyone. it's better when he's not looking at and also accusing, although i should know, i suppose. joining me now is our political reporter,
4:27 pm
olivia olivia i get the olivia utley. olivia i get the impression might all impression that this might all be bit of an end. be coming a bit of an end. hopefully now, sunak has hopefully now, rishi sunak has said that he will consider introducing essentially anti strike laws . mick lynch has hit strike laws. mick lynch has hit back. hasn't a yes. rishi sunak's anti strike laws have been talked about for a long time. finally he's beginning to outline some sort of timescale this it's expected that they're going to legislation will be pub draft that station next week and then debated the week after that. the problem of course that we know already that it's going to be held up by the courts by the of lords who the house of lords who definitely won't like and definitely won't like it. and they problems on they could even be problems on rishi sunak's backbenches because the conservative they because in the conservative they mentioned minimum levels for the railways but not for any of the other striking unions. so railways but not for any of the other striking unions . so yes, other striking unions. so yes, this might be the long term solution, but there are lot of hurdles we have to overcome before. we get to any sort of serious and my understanding is based on various interviews i've seen with mick lynch , is that seen with mick lynch, is that our rail service very runs on
4:28 pm
over time. it needs people in order for the services we know and quite often don't to actually work. people have to be working overtime. that's how they fill their roster and so if they fill their roster and so if they work rule and don't work overtime time then actually that's almost like a pseudo strike isn't it. yeah exactly. and there are also we've got to remember that the strikers themselves, the workers themselves, the workers themselves , gives all the themselves, gives all the support . the unions actually it support. the unions actually it slowly it seems ebbing away a little bit . we've seen that poll little bit. we've seen that poll of poll poll over the last few months has has gone down in support for the and what they're the when a pay off was put to the when a pay off was put to the strikers support is going up for the and down for the unions hard line on this and part that of course is that some of these strikers have strike have been on strike 20 days in the last 200,000. and they're losing a lot of money, which was just them like the other time. so of them like the other time. so of the oversight, i mean, the point here is that many of them will
4:29 pm
need overtime well so need the overtime as well so they will factor that into their annual income . basic salary annual income. basic salary might whatever is but then might be whatever it is but then you to the amount of you add to it the amount of overtime do. so mick overtime that you do. so mick lynch okay you can lynch saying okay well you can only rule quite a lot of only work to rule quite a lot of those people, would imagine those people, i would imagine would by well, would just go no by may. well, yes, it's sort similar to the 0 hours contracts issue we saw a couple ago. 0 hours couple of years ago. 0 hours contracts. of course, all terrible for some people, but for students plenty of people for students or plenty of people who casual work, quite who just want casual work, quite useful . same goes this. i'll useful. same goes for this. i'll get with overtime. ultimately it seems more likely that we get through this strike deadlock through this strike deadlock through . something like workers through. something like workers losing patience a little bit with with or needing to be back at work full time to be able to feed their families , heat their feed their families, heat their homes, rather than anti strike legislation, which it feels is going to get caught up in. a lot of i only just feel as though we're on the cusp of something here, i think hopefully this time next week maybe i may be a
4:30 pm
bit ambitious, will have had talks. be initial talks. there'll be an initial round mick will round talks. mick lynch will come go well, there's come out and go well, there's nothing really come and go, go, you know. i thought that you know. well i thought that was productive and that was very productive and that mick took back and forth mick lynch took a back and forth then by about we'll have then maybe by about we'll have some deal and rail some kind of deal and rail services will back being services will go back to being bang average again. olivia, bang average yet again. olivia, thank much live. you're thank you very much live. you're only political only there. our political reporter. coming reporter. i've got loads coming your christys here your way patrick christys here on coming up we will be on gb news coming up we will be digesting latest news digesting the latest gb news people's has found people's poll which has found a huge a huge 57% of you people have confidence that the government can sort out the small boats crisis. that's only what i found out earlier. the numbers about how much you actually cost apparently to deport a now bear in mind the costs that you didn't takes to process an asylum put them up in hotels, gave of course, all the food that they need to live and then release them out into the busy society, whether there is social housing that kids are going the to going to school, the costs to our health anyway, the our health system anyway, the number apparently costs to deport people , fly them deport these people, fly them abroad is £8,000 per person. so
4:31 pm
due to a freedom of information request between in october 2020 to there was a cost of £11 million. so removed those with no right to remain in the uk since 2020, as much as no right to remain in the uk since 2020, as much a s £30 since 2020, as much as £30 million has been spent on sending people after sending people back. after arriving britain . bear in arriving in britain. bear in mind that we spend something lik million hotels like £7 million a day on hotels . to me does not seem like it . to me it does not seem like it makes increasingly more financial sense to actually speed up our deportations, doesn't when you look doesn't it? and when you look at the that do seem to the fact that we do seem to allow a lot more than allow a lot more people than a lot of other countries, i think maybe it's about time to gb views gbnews.uk. but now it's just headlines. views gbnews.uk. but now it's just headlines . patrick, thank just headlines. patrick, thank you. good afternoon . just gone you. good afternoon. just gone 4:30. i'm bethany elsey in the gb newsroom. a senior leaders hit back at prince saying the militancy claims to have killed in afghanistan were not chess pieces. they were humans. he was responding to revelations from the duke of sussex his memoir

4:35 pm
4:36 pm
well i'd say rather moody. people's pollster angus and say that we get the results of gb news these people are in. i'm going to read them to you then i'm going to get your reaction. we're going to go to a guest on this because 7% of people you polled said that they weren't confidence in the government ability keep on the ability to keep a handle on the small boats in small boats crisis in the channel. of very the
4:37 pm
channel. so 57% of you very the british ceo said he's going to stop right. 57% of you don't stop it, right. 57% of you don't even think you can keep a handle on it. just 4% are either completely or fairly confident in the government's to in the government's ability to solve problem . those people solve the problem. those people don't on this planet. but in light of the fact that we had rishi light of the fact that we had fishisunak light of the fact that we had rishi sunak earlier in the week , yes, i'm going to stop it. and we know some of the things he's going to do to try to. stop it, don't we? there is talk. it is just very, very quiet talk of some kind of offshore processing scheme. disused ferries and cruises all the rest of p&o cruises and all the rest of p&o migrants or whatever they want to talk of to call them. there's talk of that's not really to that's probably not really to happen, speeding up the asylum claim. might the claim. now might reduce the asylum backlog. a lot people, asylum backlog. a lot of people, i legitimately i think, legitimately expressing that lead to that says it will just lead to more people here because we do tend accept lot more asylum tend to accept a lot more asylum seekers and a lot of our europe paying seekers and a lot of our europe paying friends and neighbours don't that well end don't we. so that may well end up what else is up meaning that. what else is you going to do to try to you really going to do to try to try to solve problem? optics try to solve the problem? optics wise, he's got british try to solve the problem? optics wise, on he's got british try to solve the problem? optics wise, on the he's got british try to solve the problem? optics wise, on the ground)t british try to solve the problem? optics wise, on the ground inbritish try to solve the problem? optics wise, on the ground in france. boots on the ground in france.
4:38 pm
look, we all know this basically. the point is that a lot of you believe that lot of you don't believe that anything going to happen. anything is going to happen. keir his part he keir starmer for his part he says, i'm going to says, well, what i'm going to do is i'm to look upstream. is i'm going to look upstream. and that you mean i'm going and by that you mean i'm going to tackle these human trafficking gangs? well, that's fine it currently fine care. but as it currently stands, the might stands, the full might of europol interpol appears europol or interpol appears unable order to unable or unwilling in order to do and as long as we are do that. and as long as we are the final stop on the destination, on would destination, why on earth would our again involved our european again get involved and us be the ones to and to help us be the ones to crack down on these human trafficking gangs? can trafficking gangs? so i can understand any understand why a leader of any credibility when comes to credibility when it comes to those but i get those two people. but i did get on earlier deputy leader of on earlier the deputy leader of ukip, james, to give us ukip, rebecca james, to give us her solution and her party solution wanted solution to this. and i wanted to get some your reactions on that what she said was that actually. what she said was absolutely completely offshore shipping so that shipping containers so that people set foot in the uk. people never set foot in the uk. now interestingly she also proposed a five year ban on anyone, even legitimate asylum seekers, even refugees on anyone being allowed to set foot in
4:39 pm
britain and stay in via the channel she says that's the ultimate deterrence, right? so i want you to know what a lot of you made of that and also get a reaction from you on. apparently now it's costing us, reaction from you on. apparently now it's costing us , £8,000 per now it's costing us, £8,000 per person to put people on deportation flights a of people are saying, well how can it cost that much? i get that. but it's not just fly in context. there is a is the manpower that it goes to actually take it. it's not like when you buy a ticket to to right. you've to go to malaga. right. you've got you have to obviously got people you have to obviously fly the plane as various different staff, various different staff, various different the legal different security and the legal process well. different security and the legal process as well different security and the legal process .s well different security and the legal process . iwell different security and the legal process . i would just like to migrant. i would just like to make the point as well how much it costs. roughly speaking, million day. just to million pounds a day. just to house people in hotels . that's house people in hotels. that's before we fed them, not before then have maybe been given then they have maybe been given leave go and leave to stay. they can go and access our public services. gary has gary says patrick, has been gary says patrick, thousand per person. yeah thousand pounds per person. yeah there you a lot cheaper than there you go. a lot cheaper than what we're paying them right. but also quite a few people. gwyneth, thank very much,
4:40 pm
gwyneth, thank you very much, gwyneth, thank you very much, gwyneth gwyneth saying gwyneth green and gwyneth saying she heard she actually had not heard ukip's to solving the crisis at the moment and she believes that offshore processing in offshore shipping containers would win her vote so . 57% of you in our her vote so. 57% of you in our people's poll as it currently stands believe that neither political party is going to actually do a when it comes to sorting out migrant crisis. how. joining us now to react your views the people's poll is stephen wolf the centre for stephen wolf from the centre for migration economic migration and economic prosperity. first of almost even , are you surprised at the idea that 57% of the people of this country don't believe that rishi sunakis country don't believe that rishi sunak is going to actually make a dent when it comes to stopping the china migrant crisis ? well the china migrant crisis? well don't think anyone should be surprised that the government is not seen to be actually achieving its stated goals of stopping the migrant crisis . the stopping the migrant crisis. the reason why people are supporting your poll in the numbers that have is that they boris johnson, say the priti patel say same and
4:41 pm
let's be let's be fair . say the priti patel say same and let's be let's be fair. david cameron in the past and tony blair and most prime ministers have said we try and control immigration and this also actually maps out a similar of attitude that is occurring in what's called the red wall seats. a recent yougov poll said that at least 40% of people in those seats do not believe that immigration be controlled. and it is a major and they don't believe that immigration actually been positive for the country. so on the whole, your poll , your country. so on the whole, your poll, your viewers are matching what's going out across the rest of the country and particularly the important seats of the conservatives. yes. even though what your take on this, you have rebecca jane on earlier she said that five year that there would be a five year ban on, coming over the ban on, anyone coming over the channel if were proven to channel even if were proven to be legitimate seekers. be legitimate asylum seekers. she she needed do she said that she needed to do in order to care for the people that we already have here . what that we already have here. what do of that? going do you make of that? it's going down. in norwich down. well, jackie in norwich thinks excellent idea and thinks it's excellent idea and i
4:42 pm
thinks it's excellent idea and i think it would be regarded as a truly tremendous idea . again, truly tremendous idea. again, for those people who have voted your people's poll and being polled by other organisations believe that migration should be controlled and it would be if it was possible to achieve certainly a major deterrent not to the people smugglers and those willing to come across , those willing to come across, e.g. the albanians who are coming over simply for connecting with the criminal gangsin connecting with the criminal gangs in some cases as major crime agencies are suggesting. but the difficulty with not being able to allow , even those being able to allow, even those who've been qualified as asylum , they're on their boats. so in these containers is our membership of the un refugees convention which would allow them to stay . they're in them to stay. they're in a policy like that of rwanda just going to read out some facts and figures here because the latest numbers when it comes to the cost of deporting people are staggering. no matter which angle take on it. now, the angle you take on it. now, the narrative at the moment, i must
4:43 pm
say, on gb news website, is i don't want to go back as the great erm got sacked but the great erm i got sacked but the thing is this staggering amount is eye—watering is staggering eye—watering amount money, amount of taxpayers money, £8,000 to them £8,000 per person to deport them . do get that, that's lot . now i do get that, that's lot right for reasons are going to go in to. however when i look at the costs that it costs to actually keep a lot of people here as eight grams does here as well. eight grams does look bargain, look like a bargain, actually. but let's just read some of these things. in the first ten months a total of 54 months of 2022, a total of 54 flights were chartered to send 1356 people back to their home country. now, obviously, everyone can realise that the reason why it's costing around eight grand per illegal immigrant is because we're sending so few of them back. got more people on the planes , the more people on the planes, the cost would go down, but do you think the public should react to this news that think the public should react to this news tha think the public should react to this nev do ha think the public should react to this nev do you we're getting person, do you we're getting value for money that should that more people on these planes. well we're absolutely not getting value for money and if i analyse those figures would suspect that the vast majority
4:44 pm
of those people on those planes aren't those claiming asylum but actually being returned for foreign what's called foreign nationals or foreign criminals. and there has been success in moving them back, you're not getting value for money because you're not filling planes and we're not getting value for money because the asylum system doing what saying when doing what it's saying when we're rejecting asylum applicants , of which last year applicants, of which last year there is 20,000, not there is around 20,000, not being returned, but bear this cost mind patrick in the first yearit cost mind patrick in the first year it costs cost mind patrick in the first year it cost s £40,000 ans to year it costs £40,000 ans to 45,000 on a different analysis for the one asylum seeker to stay in this country each year and therefore the total budget of the aci an immigration system from collecting them to monitoring them to police to the legal services is around 8 to £10 billion a year. so removing them 8000 is actually small feet in the grand scheme of the costs of asylum and immigration. yeah.
4:45 pm
and the ongoing cost as well. the royal borough of windsor and maidenhead came on earlier this week accounts that are from there and that that there and told me that that councils already had to fin d £1 councils already had to find £1 million which equated supposedly to a 1.5% increase in every single member's tax in order to accommodate and look after the child migrants who'd come over who are now in that particular ward , its jurisdiction, as it ward, its jurisdiction, as it were, which is a staggered amounts of money. the other thing that jane off of ukip mentioned, which i'm keen to get your views in terms of her solution, given all people's poll revealed that 57% of people think that that's going to naff all about what's going on in the channel do you think that disused shipping could actually be in the channel? is be a solution in the channel? is that now only deterrent that frankly now only deterrent ? well, whether it's shoes , ? well, whether it's shoes, containers or whatever you're using old ships themselves or old cruise , the principle is old cruise, the principle is really being whether you can just get somebody that boat and
4:46 pm
keep them there and maybe move them out of the jurisdiction of them out of the jurisdiction of the uk without breaching the un refugee convention . you've seen refugee convention. you've seen how hard it has been for the government to succeed with the rwanda policy. now they have succeeded, but there are real difficulties they're now facing in some of the rules that . the in some of the rules that. the court has suggested that they now have to follow. so rebecca's policy is very welcome to those who want to an end to the channel migrants but it will again face huge pressure and you need strong politicians and strong leadership it to have that type of policy be successful . i just in terms of successful. i just in terms of your desires how how would you properly i'm keen to get solutions i'm of problems. all right. okay. we've had sunak we've had keir starmer, the lib dems. there's no point sense that what they're saying about this particular issue. we've had ukip already today. we've how do you it, what's your view you see it, what's your view come fix it . well come on so out fix it. well i saw what i call three pronged
4:47 pm
approach the. first is an international solution where we call a new convention on the un where we work out what is the true definition of an asylum seeker in the modern world and actually start to deal with the definition of illegal migration and allowing countries to opt out of the un convention when it comes that secondly is a uk version, we must remove ourselves from the european court of human , which tackles court of human, which tackles two areas of the initial decision claims, which is those people are allowed to stay outside of the un convention . outside of the un convention. and thirdly, we need to expand the rwanda policy to other countries and maybe ships offshore in order to take those people who are arriving and placing them out of the jurisdiction of the uk. that's the three pronged approach. i would take and all of them could be legally done and the last can be legally done and the last can be done following the court case in december we'll see if we don't do very much it's almost like you planned really isn't but i'll you what is a fascinating thing so changing
4:48 pm
the definition or getting clarification maybe on the definition of what exactly an illegal migrant is or what exactly a refugee is. i think a lot of people would be behind that and that's a screaming stuff isn't it. that be so absolutely getting ourselves these are i.e. taking back control of our laws. you can't say that these days that sound like the leader of the opposition believe it not but opposition believe it or not but taking of laws taking back control of our laws and expanding rwanda policy and expanding the rwanda policy to plus a little and expanding the rwanda policy to of plus a little and expanding the rwanda policy to of offshore plus a little and expanding the rwanda policy to of offshore processing.ittle and expanding the rwanda policy to of offshore processing as.e bit of offshore processing as well. i will probably prove well. i that will probably prove quite with our viewers quite popular with our viewers and thank very and listeners. thank you very much, wolf pleasure. much, stephen wolf my pleasure. is for and economic is the centre for and economic prosperity get. your views coming gb at gb news coming in gb views at gb news dot uk. do you back. god we ukip on earlier they were saying they wanted a complete block on any one legal or illegal it one legal or illegal when it comes genuine asylum seeker comes to a genuine asylum seeker or say really or otherwise should say really when what's going on when it comes to what's going on in the channel just a complete block basically she block plus basically what she did she use shipping did say didn't she use shipping containers used as accommodation for people was ukip's for those people that was ukip's plan stephen wolf on plan we've got stephen wolf on that he says get us out of the
4:49 pm
east and change the definition get clarification the definition of what means be an asylum of what it means to be an asylum seeker, a refugee, illegal seeker, a refugee, an illegal immigrant. of immigrant. which would both of those would make it those things would make it easier deport as easier to deport people as and when expand rwanda when and expand the rwanda policy more offshore policy and create more offshore processing we go. your processing so that we go. your views, ladies and gentlemen gbviews@gbnews.uk moving gbviews@gbnews.uk we're moving there another there because this is another fascinating actually another fascinating one actually another really story . saw really fascinating story. saw this new data this earlier today. new data released by the for national statistics has that 262,000 people in england and wales have a different gender identity to their sex registered at birth . their sex registered at birth. so i'm going somewhere with this. don't worry, it's taken from the 2021 census, which was answered by more than 45 million people. it's also first time that the gender and sex question was asked on the national census. now the quick maths , census. now the quick maths, which i am willing to be corrected on, but only something is that equates to around nought 5% of the population saying that they a different gender identity to sex registered at birth
4:50 pm
to their sex registered at birth . a 0.5% of people with me now is hayes and transgender teacher and journalist debbie, thank you very much. always a pleasure. happy new year to say happy, new getting a bit now, isn't it getting on a bit now, isn't it so sick. very happy new year. and new initial reaction and now a new initial reaction to this was that's not a lot of people and whilst we all want people and whilst we all want people to be cared for and not have abused and all of this stuff is not a large group of people to be serious in looking at changing laws, for example, and all of the consequences that may or may come with that in terms of women's safety, in terms of women's safety, in terms the curriculum at schools, all this stuff, your views ? all this stuff, your views? well, it is half a% which you can say is not many, but it's a lot more than the 5000 people who were thought to be when the gender recognition act was first passed, nearly 20 years ago. you know, this is this is a large group of people. but the census actually leaves more questions unasked . the answers, because unasked. the answers, because you mentioned 262,000 of those
4:51 pm
there are 48,000 trans men, 47,000 trans women, but 117,000 people who give no specific gender identity. i do wonder how many of these people are the it's the jedi knight phenomenon where people just tick boxes. box is to be ticked. let's take a box so that interesting so actually i suppose yes you're right there is the possibility that some people have i don't want to say spoil their ballot. but whatever the equivalent that is with the jedi knight is with this, the jedi knight thing, did bring smile thing, which did bring a smile on so actually on my face. so actually following potentially following logic then potentially and smaller percentage of and even smaller percentage of people be genuinely trans people might be genuinely trans i suppose, or or not recognised as the original sex that they had at birth. i kind of just just leave me box that initial question is when people see the numbers outlined that, is it really worthwhile changing laws accommodate for those people . accommodate for those people. well we have we have to accommodate as we're accommodated because human beings the same as the same as
4:52 pm
everybody else. what people trying to do is to try and give us extra to choose our sex and change our sex are just because they want to. and quite clear in my in my views, i think that some helpful but as i said that the data itself that's been released you have to drill into it quite so quite deeply to actually find some interesting information. it's not listed by sex, so it can't work out how many males and how many females are involved or by age. but they have released this geographical map. it was really when you look at the geographical map of, say, non—bio identities, you can pick the university towns across the country . they light up on the country. they light up on the map . so what this is suggesting map. so what this is suggesting to me the first that my first grasp on this data was that this is something which correlates with students , young people and with students, young people and we need to be asking the question is something that's that people are going to grow out of well now that is really
4:53 pm
fascinating as well. i'm really glad you raised this map because, yes, i did think that must say what i love. so i thought i'm going to mean it is university towns that left front and on that. now what do and centre on that. now what do you of you are going you think some of you are going to the way of to grow out of the way of looking at it? dare say it is that maybe is pushing people in a certain direction. maybe children schools are being children at schools are being asked questions . children of asked questions. children of different generations. if they weren't they asked to be weren't us they were asked to be considered whether or they considered whether or not. they are into wrong body. do are born into the wrong body. do you that's healthy and you think that's healthy and helpful . well, i don't think helpful. well, i don't think it's healthy. i think young people have always struggled with growing up and accepting their bodies and adolescence and was suggesting to young people that they can choose choose whether they want to grow up to be or women. it's a line can't. but that's the message they're getting now it that this is as far as it went then we'd be concerned about the mental health issues which that which that caused. but we all know that caused. but we all know that there are many there's and drugs which are administered in
4:54 pm
order to facilitate this attempt to change of sex and this is really dangerous. and so what we're seeing now and i'm the perfect guest for this because you've absolutely drilled down into it is would appear to have a raft of one would imagine younger now people at university etc. who've just come through an increasingly woke education system who are getting into increasingly woke institutions, i.e. university now who are identifying as being a different sex , gender or whatever to the sex, gender or whatever to the one that they were born as and potentially on top that all now actually doing medically to facilitate their transition playing this tape forward debate and we are staring the barrel of quite a large mental health crisis here down the line. do you think we already have a mental health crisis, patrick, among young people , young people among young people, young people are struggling was they've never with growth never, ever done
4:55 pm
before . but what buying , before. but what buying, telling, telling young people fallacious information, telling them lies that they can choose , them lies that they can choose, whether to become men or women , whether to become men or women, which we know they can't, but young people like to believe they're told at times it's idealistic and we have to build our lives in reality and at some point , young our lives in reality and at some point, young people have got to grow up , get a point, young people have got to grow up, get a job and point, young people have got to grow up , get a job and settle grow up, get a job and settle down and get married. that's the reality. if that's the reality of life. debbie, look, thank you very much. and just quickly before get going, debbie, as well, a lot love for you in well, a lot of love for you in the inbox had says that the inbox had george says that he always you very sensible ballas and you're a great find so go thank you much, so there you go thank you much, debbie hayes. now, he's frustrated journalist. debbie hayes. now, he's frus'goted journalist. debbie hayes. now, he's frus'goted breaking|rnalist. debbie hayes. now, he's frus'goted breaking newsrt. debbie hayes. now, he's frus'goted breaking news for i've got some breaking news for you it's just you ladies, gentlemen. it's just dropping my dropping right now in front my eyes, you know, ambulance workers on january workers will strike on january the in their dispute over the 23rd in their dispute over pay the 23rd in their dispute over pay was announced. that's pay tv was announced. that's breaking . literally just breaking. that's literally just come right now. fresh come through right now. fresh ambulance, drugs are going to take place on january 23rd, no
4:56 pm

5:07 pm
she faked her own death. that's according to revelations in his new memoir, spare more of which is dropping by the minute, it would seem. harry also says that both and his brother, the prince of wales, were out of calling for a reinvestigate into diana's death by the powers that be. he how after his mother's death , he how after his mother's death, he was left in balmoral castle with nothing to do but roam the whole with a suspicion taking hold that it all a trick by that it was all a trick by diana. kensington palace diana. now, kensington palace and buckingham palace are still their silence. declined their silence. they've declined to on the book. there is to comment on the book. there is a lot more for us to talk about when comes to book. as when it comes to this book. as namely my opinion, the most namely in my opinion, the most serious of is prince serious elements of is prince harry revealing that he killed 25 taliban fighters, referring to them as chess pieces. i can understand in referring to them as chess pieces. you've got to try maybe take emotion try to. maybe take the emotion out i imagine a lot of out of it. i imagine a lot of people who see conflict, the horrors war, something horrors of war, do something similar therapy similar probably through therapy . i guess of that. however . i guess all of that. however is not the done thing. anyone in the military will telling you do not you'll can be. not publish, you'll kill can be. has made less on the
5:08 pm
has it made all less safe on the streets of , britain? is streets of, britain? is it therefore inherently selfish? i suspect harry's only said because he wants his security back for him by our royal family by the taxpayer is now creating a more dangerous situation for him his family that we all him and his family that we all have for his very have to pay for his very expensive security. that wouldn't i wouldn't surprise me, but i don't think plain don't just think it's plain wrong. the have all understandably kicked off about it. doesn't take too much for it. it doesn't take too much for them kick off, though, does them to kick off, though, does it? to be fair. it's the however now i do suspect that is going to a more enraged radical to create a more enraged radical sentiment. any single one of our armed forces now is at risk as a result. i would argue that people just walking the streets are result of this are at risk as a result of this . a serving former serving member of the royal family who was bang in line to the throne, was bang in line to the throne, was out for at the time queen country supporting jihadis left , right and centre. how do you think the radical undertones in this country are going to take to in mind? have to that bear in mind? we have 7000 people year refer to our 7000 people a year refer to our province . think stupid. province. i think it's stupid. i think he's incredibly dangerous. what done. another
5:09 pm
what he's done. another thing just we to our guests just before we go to our guests i know he's got lot of you very angry. he's got me very angry for a lot. you wanted secrecy, privacy all of stuff privacy and all of this stuff revealing words whispered revealing the words he whispered into our queen's air as she lay recently died , having recently recently died, having recently died , i think, is just shocking died, i think, is just shocking betrayal. and frankly disgusting, really . betrayal. and frankly disgusting, really. i betrayal. and frankly disgusting, really . i really do. disgusting, really. i really do. and i don't see any way back for. but i want to know, of and i don't see any way back course, what ones up the most about prince harry's book. is it the that now we might all have a massive jihadi threat thanks to harry. that's quite big. is it harry. that's quite a big. is it the he's disrespected the fact that he's disrespected our late queen's by our late queen's memory by revealing whispered into revealing what he whispered into our is he actually our air? or is he actually something interesting, something quite interesting, which admitted that which is that he's admitted that king joke about king charles used to joke about whether not it was dad. when whether or not it was dad. when we saw what is now his royal neck neck. stuff. neck and neck. great stuff. great to you on the show. great to have you on the show. and start. don't mind? and let's start. you don't mind? we'll our way through the we'll work our way through the old stuff. the idea me old diana stuff. but the idea me that king charles joke that king charles used to joke about whether not he his about whether or not he was his dad. we've now. i might
5:10 pm
dad. i we've older now. i might well , i'm dad. i we've older now. i might well, i'm not sure about joking. yes but i mean, let's let's be honest. put it out into the open so i suppose we can discuss it rather more clearly than we would have done a few years ago. patrick i can remember right in my time when harry appeared on, the scene when i was a royal correspondent right back in the 1990s that you know well, is charles really his father? it was the sort of thing you said to each other , journalists. it to each other, journalists. it was the sort of things said tables. it was the sort of things in pubs all the time. tables. it was the sort of things in pubs all the time . but things in pubs all the time. but it's the sort of thing you it's not the sort of thing you would ever hear from would expect to ever hear from any the principals any of the principals themselves, not even conversation, particularly between themselves. you would have thought, and certainly not in mean, it's in public. i mean, it's astonishing isn't it, patrick, listening to you? mean , what listening to you? i mean, what what really about all what gets me really about all this there is so much of this stuff pouring in now that it is so difficult to figure out the thing you really , really hate. thing you really, really hate. do you know what i mean? i'm sure i can't imagine are many people now who are saying, oh,
5:11 pm
poon people now who are saying, oh, poor, poor harry. i think most people will think most of these things that he's broken up a pretty terrible to see them out in the open. but they'll go back to this business about his security and all the other things . you got a nice twist on things. you got a nice twist on it. i'm not sure i'll go all the way with you. he's done this in order to make sure he gets security. i don't know. i'm not sure about that. what he should remember happened salman remember what happened to salman rushdie? yeah. these were people . very long memories, very . but . very long memories, very. but resolutely immediate. it might happen now. might not happen tomorrow . probably won't. tomorrow. probably won't. probably won't, probably. but the rest of his life, he's going have to be looking more and more over shoulder and his family and children and everything else. i mean, that me. wow oh god. makes mean, that me. wow oh god. makes me quite cross almost . and i in me quite cross almost. and i in a familial sense. me quite cross almost. and i in a familial sense . if i was a familial sense. if i was meghan or any of harry's kids , i meghan or any of harry's kids, i think it obviously is spot on now unequivocally for the rest
5:12 pm
of their lives. they will have to be looking over their shoulder. you raise a cracking example out of salman rushdie . example out of salman rushdie. you are never safe with this law. that's they're bound who are in of something. are in control of something. have horrible little have that horrible little tentacles spread out right across . the along with across. the world along with a lot other terror groups, all lot of other terror groups, all calling to harry be calling for prince to harry be tried war crimes that will tried for war crimes that will resonate with anyone who's got an islamist bent in their mind anywhere world of which, anywhere in the world of which, unfortunately, have a of unfortunately, we have a lot of domestic ones in this country, certainly whoever certainly in america whoever harry to go actually harry decides to go and actually he has endangered his own family , hasn't like an idiot. what , hasn't he? like an idiot. what well, that's what i'm trying to say as i'm saying. i think say as what i'm saying. i think i think that that is probably i think that is that is probably the take that the case. i mean, to take that example and also i'd pick and i absolutely agree with you about this thing that been talking this thing that i'd been talking to with military to people today with military connections people connections the military people my the navy my father served the royal navy dunng my father served the royal navy during so on. you during the war. and so on. you know, i think we all if you're not been in the military yourself, haven't been in the military a lot of military but i know a lot of people who have friends are people who have friends who are been the ones that you don't talk you don't say kill
5:13 pm
talk about, you don't say kill 20 people. you know . so 20 million people. you know. so you see, i mean, it's just sorry, i'm getting bit sort sorry, but i'm getting bit sort of . but it is a good sorry, but i'm getting bit sort of. but it is a good reason if i'm going to move away from the taliban. so because later on we're going to be talking to someone from, the armed forces, as well as to give his view. but mean, from what i can gather, the type tend to go the only type of who tend to go around, boast about how many people they've killed talking people they've killed or talking about walter about it are usually walter mitty in terms mitty anyway. but in terms what's going on when prince what's been going on when prince harry found out the was. harry found out the queen was. now, this, i think, is fascinating, not spoken about it a huge amount. so on this show so to get your take. when so keen to get your take. when the was dying say the queen was dying should say and supposedly had the and supposedly harry had the opfion and supposedly harry had the option on a plane with option to go on a plane with william few other of the william and a few other of the royal there some royal family there was some disagreement whether or disagreement as to whether or not be allowed not meghan will be allowed to come he got on his own come. he then got on his own plane, only found out about the queen's death, as he puts it, on his phone from a news outlet. it's a seriously the idea now that prince harry's love for meghan cost him, the opportunity to go and pay his respects to
5:14 pm
the queen along with the rest of his family. i mean, is really where he's at? well, i think he comes at it a slightly different angle, doesn't it? i mean his his argument is that he wasn't well enough about what well informed enough about what was going on. and also was really going on. and also that his father , king charles, that his father, king charles, as he now is , was adamant that as he now is, was adamant that meghan could not there and he then misread that he says in as an attack on meghan it was only later that he had that he. oh well when he got to finally in a terrible fluster as one can understand that his father actually said to him oh it's only because i didn't want so many people around wasn't anything else. and he said, why you say that in the first place? i my father, i mean this is ito my father, i mean this is the stuff of sort of i mean, at a time at a time in any family, you really going to sort of dwell on said what first to so and so you have a little bit of and so you have a little bit of a spat about it then you move straight on, don't you ? you put straight on, don't you? you put it away in your mind and use in
5:15 pm
a book that the whole world now reading really. a book that the whole world now reading really . are you reading it really. are you really going to do that? and there's some there's something really ironic about, there's some there's something really ironic about , the fact really ironic about, the fact that i find this with a lot of people who claim to be, you know, the real lovey woke types that actually they tend be some of the most narcissistic introspective. and i think prince harry is no exception to that. king charles just lost his mother and harry is saying, why didn't give me a more full explanation ? the text messages explanation? the text messages to my why wife, who let's be honest , a lot of people to my why wife, who let's be honest, a lot of people i wasn't allowed to come and stand next. the queen that she showed absolutely respect for in a lot of cases in a moment. i mean, harry, really is that where we are seriously mean? look, i suppose the overarching question , is it game over now for harry? should he actually back for the coronation? should he dare to show his face? well, listen, i'm not sure i'd go along with everything you say , and that's everything you say, and that's fine. would actually . everything you say, and that's fine. would actually. i fine. i would argue, actually. i think from i have read that
5:16 pm
meghan's attempts to show respect for the queen, i think she did. i take your point that a lot of people seem to hate her, but i don't think they should hate her, particularly for the way she tried to try to get with the queen and so on. is there a way back? i have been saying the very beginning, saying from the very beginning, ihave saying from the very beginning, i have been on your station. what, from the very beginning, when the very first few things going oprah winfrey going were the oprah winfrey came said, i don't think came out, i said, i don't think any way back. and now , you know, any way back. and now, you know, the doors are shutting , shutting the doors are shutting, shutting and shutting. the bridges are or whatever right expressions whatever the right expressions are , of whatever they are, boats of whatever they i can't see that there's way back for harry. he doesn't want to way back does he. does he. he clearly does not but how much is prepared to sort of dragged down and don't forget we've got television interviews still to come. you know , presumably we're come. you know, presumably we're going to get even more stuff in them. well it's got such a long way to run. i hear saying, oh,
5:17 pm
well, i'm on with this stuff already. you know, attention spans in the modern era are very short and so on. but harry is proving amazing coming up with well, he's a military man. can i say grenade after. and you well, he's a military man. can i say grenade after . and you know, say grenade after. and you know, the terrible thing about grenades . you got to be jolly grenades. you got to be jolly careful that when you pull the pin out, you throw it enough. otherwise, you're one who gets damaged . just lastly, a bit of a damaged. just lastly, a bit of a cheeky was the finish necklace you don't mind. was supposed having the show. what do you reckon the odds the biography or the daily star at the account the daily star at least going to come out of least is going to come out of the lady who apparently have the lady who apparently did have a with prince a rather good time with prince harry a fail by the oh dear. harry in a fail by the oh dear. you know when i heard that i just harry please spare at least that at least the one thing we do not want to hear about you know i'm really i'm yeah exactly exactly that for our radio putting his fingers in his ears and i don't blame him. thank you very much, nicholas. i mean, the royal car responded just talking about the young stallion. that is prince harry, right? lots of
5:18 pm
you have been getting in touch. your thoughts on the prince harry revelations to go harry revelations going to go into inbox now. scott into that inbox now. scott the fact he's only put himself fact that he's only put himself at risk but us to be selfish now scott is writing to do something that bugbear with the that is my main bugbear with the prince apart from prince harry book apart from the fact i know that fact that now and i know that a lot of you are getting in touch on that, it does annoy me that i have to sit here and talk to this about prince. yes, i this much about prince. yes, i get that. it is the news. get that. but it is the news. and actually, if you aimlessly go outside and go down the pub, everyone's about it. that would you a mirror to you have to hold a mirror to that ladies and gentlemen. that note, ladies and gentlemen. but prince harry but i annoyed that prince harry has and said he spotted has come out and said he spotted 25 afghanistan, 25 jihadis in afghanistan, mainly not a lot of the mainly not because a lot of the jihadis care well jihadis couldn't care if. well done, however i am done, harry. however i am annoyed now possibly annoyed that now he's possibly put target on, his back and put a target on, his back and his family's by more of the royal family. he's enraged a group of radical islamists , group of radical islamists, frankly, already didn't wish us any . they so you very any harm. they so thank you very much that. harry's opened any harm. they so thank you very murhornet'sit. harry's opened any harm. they so thank you very murhornet's nestarry's opened any harm. they so thank you very murhornet's nest yets opened any harm. they so thank you very murhornet's nest yet so pened any harm. they so thank you very murhornet's nest yet so much so the hornet's nest yet so much so that the actual leaders of the taliban have come out said taliban have come out and said
5:19 pm
it was it. what i do find quite humorous though in all of this and important to see a little and is important to see a little bit in something so bit of levity in something so serious. that serious. only thing is that prince has managed to prince harry has managed to unite both many of the right wing of country and the wing of this country and the taliban and him, barbara says , taliban and him, barbara says, get the yes, get the older woman who took his virginity to write a book. absolutely. barbara, i want 100. i cannot wait for the silhouetted the black silhouettes of a woman's had the robotic voice to protect her identity. and she reveals all about what happened in the field . a pub garden. i mean. yes it's got daily star written all over it and you love to say it, simon says so he did that. but simon says, i cannot think of a more stupid move than his confession to the taliban. kels as alexa serviceman myself, i do not publicly , the royal family, i am publicly, the royal family, i am aware . that could be a high aware. that could be a high threat to them and servicemen. but the really crazy thing that is achieved is to effectively put a target on his back and we go and indirectly backs of go and indirectly the backs of his and children. 100. his wife and children. 100. now, an interesting point,
5:20 pm
his wife and children. 100. now, an interesting point , this as an interesting point, this as well, that he's well, which is that once he's got bail out of his got all this bail out of his system and meghan presumably system and meghan is presumably read book , i can't read her book, well, i can't help wonder when the help but wonder when the hollywood luvvie elite starts to turn against harry and they go, tell me, harry, we did not need to know about your romp behind a pub somewhere. there you go. we did know about you did need to know about you whispering dad, nancy, in whispering your dad, nancy, in moments after her death. maybe this is bit distasteful when the people who meghan really cares are the hollywood chatter . when are the hollywood chatter. when those people when oprah goes cold on them. when beyonce goes cold on them. when beyonce goes cold on them. when beyonce goes cold on them, that is all of a sudden. oh, sorry, i gave it a 90, sudden. oh, sorry, i gave it a go, harry, but would you mind just signing this divorce paper for me? you're with me. patrick christys on gb news you night ambulance workers will stage strike action this month. unite said its ambulance members will walk on 23rd. the union's walk out on 23rd. the union's said it will work with local trusts to, ensure life and limb emergency cover . so that's the emergency cover. so that's the breaking news that the breaking news that that's the ambulance give you ambulance drivers will give you the very latest on that. but first, i've a bellwether

5:27 pm
critical and perilous for the nhs . in fact critical and perilous for the nhs. in fact announced today we've got another 26% rise in excess deaths happening above the five year average. so a lot of people are blaming that on the collapse of the emergency care system. so it really is a critical time and it's coming a real, you know , one of the worst real, you know, one of the worst times in the nhs history. so that's the ambulances, they say that's the ambulances, they say that they'll emergency calls, but obviously with many on strike we're already seeing people lying for up to four days without care, without being admitted . so it's going to cause admitted. so it's going to cause even more disruption . you know, even more disruption. you know, doctors are going to be pilots. so that's a separate thing we won't know the results of that for some weeks. but you know, it's widely known there's a great popular rity and they are
5:28 pm
likely to go ahead with strike action. yeah sorry. i'm going to come on to the junior doctors thing. say, i'm glad you've raised it, but just a bit of context of people want ambulance workers being offered because clearly they're happy with it, which is why they're thinking about strikes and three's. my catch much it means catch so much is that it means people will die. well fact people will die. well fact people already dying . and the people already dying. and the problem is that steve barclay is not coming to the table . he can, not coming to the table. he can, you know , it looks as if he's you know, it looks as if he's being really in transit yet and it will go back to the old arguments he's blaming . arguments he's blaming. ambulance staff for increasing the likelihood of patients suffering dangerous weight coming to harm and ambulance staff at the same time blaming him for not coming to the table . and in a way one could argue actually you're the health secretary. you should there on the table and not leave not leave negotiations until sort it out because the people that are coming are patients . yeah,
5:29 pm
coming are patients. yeah, indeed. now i'm just having a quick look at this. supposedly the offer that they've got the minute 1400 quid flat rate minute is 1400 quid a flat rate offer , which equates to around offer, which equates to around a 4% pay rise for ambulance staff. this includes people like paramedics , handlers, all paramedics, handlers, all of that as know they want that stuff. as we know they want something supposedly more in terms which i've got here terms of which i've got here anyway is about 7.7% it changes but they would get which clearly there is a go for that. but i think, you know, i watched an episode of the apprentice last night. you can do a deal on that. come in. i'm sure. and that's the point. the steep he's not prepared open not prepared to even open negotiations and i'm sure you could come to some deal. the other thing , you know, when you other thing, you know, when you talk to paramedics, when you talk to paramedics, when you talk ambulance staff and even as well, i think they talk pay. but actually a lot of the problems in their dissatisfaction with the working conditions and working decisions are due to a range of factors which we've talked before. but, you know, if they can give them something and them ideas about, more perks and
5:30 pm
you promises to increase beds or whatever, yeah, there's always room for . but whatever, yeah, there's always room for. but if you're not talking, then there's no no, there's no now junior , doctors. there's no now junior, doctors. now, this is interesting because am cancer weren't junior doctors in this country who are thinking of going on. the other story with this is that a lot of them are saying at least threatening to go and work abroad. i wonder, i don't expect you to have the answers to this, but if you do, be great, whether or not if somebody here and takes out a loan here for our university system to a junior doctor and then decides go australia, i then decides go to australia, i don't whether not they have don't know whether not they have to pay that back, which just seem like little bit of a seem like a little bit of a burden on their and that burden on their british and that seems bit, but doctors seems a little bit, but doctors are they basically are saying that they basically not enough . i believe they not paid enough. i believe they go scale for around go on a sliding scale for around £29,000 a year to around go on a sliding scale for around £29,000 a year to aroun d £60,000 £29,000 a year to around £60,000 a you go to a year. if you then go to specialise and branch out, you find yourself a decent amount find yourself on a decent amount money. is it that balance . well
5:31 pm
money. is it that balance. well if you look at the actual of numbers of doctors leaving and i had a quick look at this before i came on i think it's around 2% the surveys that are done by the bma show that one in three roughly are thinking of leaving . i know that apparently you can earn as much in australia and do less hours . so there's a earn as much in australia and do less hours. so there's a bit of a you know, there is a pull but at the same time , you know, if at the same time, you know, if the government paying you to train here and invested in the system , yeah, that could be some system, yeah, that could be some moral to fulfil that. secondly, what you also need to think aboutis what you also need to think about is looking of under the graph that within five years you're going to be earning a whole lot more by the time you get to consultant level, you'll be on figure salary with a platinum pension and a lot of study leave and so it's not just the junior doctor state stage
5:32 pm
that. the junior doctor state stage that . you need to look at same that. you need to look at same time , you know, inflation is time, you know, inflation is running high. time, you know, inflation is running high . you know, we're running high. you know, we're we're all suffering from that now 100. we are also and in any line of work , pretty much you do line of work, pretty much you do have to start somewhere near the bottom and work your way up and over the course of your career, after a lot of hard work, you will end up on a decent wage. i know it's not the same for everybody, but that seems to be the order things and. the natural order of things and. it seem fair to that it doesn't seem fair to me that junior doctors should feel as though they have to skip the also do and i want to get also do think and i want to get more on i will endeavour to more on this i will endeavour to find but next i come on find but the next time i come on hour monday whether not if hour on monday whether or not if you a junior doctor who gets you are a junior doctor who gets a student loan in this country to, train country and to, train in this country and you good sized work abroad, you get good sized work abroad, do have to pay do you then still have to pay your back or not? because your loan back or not? because if you don't it seems a bit cheeky if you ask me. thank you very great to have on very much. great to have you on the lucy johnson in the show. that's lucy johnson in health social editor the health and social editor at the sunday express. to have sunday express. great to have you loads of you you on rides. loads of you emailing in is coming in thick

5:38 pm
has prince harry put us all at risk? a taliban spokesperson has called on prince harry to face a trial for war crimes. well, good luck with that. but still, it's not ideal, is it? that's after he claimed he killed 25 taliban fighters on a second tour of afghanistan. and describing afghanistan. and now describing his military, the his time in the military, the duke said saw enemy duke of sussex said he saw enemy combat pieces on a combat as chess pieces on a board that had to be taken out. but the revelation has been greeted with consternation from some they say some military figures. they say statements make us all statements like this make us all less secure and they make our armed forces less secure. they make family secure. and make his family secure. and frankly , all a bit of a shocker frankly, all a bit of a shocker also as well crucially, it's not
5:39 pm
the done thing, is it? people in the done thing, is it? people in the military don't tend to reveal their kill. with me now is richard campbell, is colonel richard campbell, former commander. is colonel richard campbell, formeto commander. is colonel richard campbell, formeto have commander. is colonel richard campbell, formeto have you commander. is colonel richard campbell, formeto have you crthe1ander. is colonel richard campbell, formeto have you crthe show.. great to have you on the show. thank you very much. i'm only less streets of. less safe on the streets of. britain as a result of prince harry. i don't think so. no really. but what i do think, though, is that his his suggestion that the british treated me as less than human being, just chess pieces on the board to be brushed aside about the jihadists and helps them to radicalise, recruit and gain funding for their attacks. so we're made safer by it. and potentially there is a fighting at risk because they because they're being aided by words that prince is using and the taliban as is already seized upon that and accused harry war crimes, when in fact, they're the war criminals. we know we around 7000 people, every single in this country referred to prevent for variety of different extremist views must be said the
5:40 pm
vast majority of them islamist. we know that we have home—grown terror. we know that there a very real threat out there . why very real threat out there. why on earth would prince harry decide to reveal this and stoke the taliban's hornet's nest? unless he is just especially thick . well, he's not revealing thick. well, he's not revealing it. what he's doing is he's telling something other than the truth about this. i wouldn't say he's lying about it but what he'd the way he described british military operations and training is wrong it's false but you know it will it certainly will i think, incite some of these jihadists that you mentioned to be more inclined to carry out attacks . anything is carry out attacks. anything is mapped out about why why is he doing it? well i think it's a grave misjudgement , maybe cells, grave misjudgement, maybe cells, more books or something. i don't know. but it's not it's not a sensible to do. and it's also very gives a very misleading impression about the british army . yes, it does indeed. and army. yes, it does indeed. and just on the british army. okay. i love my focus so far . the vast
5:41 pm
i love my focus so far. the vast majority of it has been on your average civilian man and woman on the streets. but will it make of our own forces less safe potentially? will they be seen as more legitimate targets now, in your view ? no, i don't think in your view? no, i don't think i think so. it'll have less effect on them, have more effect on the man and the woman on street, because they're the ones who generally get targeted by jihadists over here. and we've seen that in a number of attacks. many of which have been described motives started by described as motives started by themselves, motivated by the presence of the british forces in afghanistan , iraq and the way in afghanistan, iraq and the way that we treat afghans and iraqis. their problem and this this feeds into that, folks. but i don't think it's going to have a big effect , i don't think it's going to have a big effect, personal i don't think it's going to have a big effect , personal security a big effect, personal security effect on anyone , the military effect on anyone, the military or former, apart from harry himself . or former, apart from harry himself. should or former, apart from harry himself . should prince harry himself. should prince harry still be involved with like the invictus games, do you think up this ? i think that's the best he this? i think that's the best he can do.i this? i think that's the best he can do. i think if he if he maybe changes his focus ,
5:42 pm
maybe changes his focus, concentrates his efforts on helping wounded servicemen which have proved to be so good in the past, that would be a way for him to, i think, go forward he's been denied all his formal appointments, quite rightly when he stepped down from a working royal. but i think, you know, i don't think this place is even beyond the pale. you know, he will his reputation now , i will his reputation now, i think, among former servicemen and groups as well, have probably been a tarnished. probably been a bit tarnished. but going to turn but now we're going to turn around say, well, around and say, well, he shouldn't help out shouldn't you know, he help out with wounded. i think he i with the wounded. i think he i think he and i think think he should. and i think that he should do. that's the way you can do the best. good, to be honest. exactly. to be honest. yeah, exactly. used a lot of emails from used to get a lot of emails from people the armed forces people were in the armed forces who quite legitimately who look quite legitimately would archie, guy would say well archie, this guy has tours of afghanistan has had two tours of afghanistan he a veteran. he deserves our he is a veteran. he deserves our respect. and i by the way, i think he does. and i think anyone goes out there and anyone who goes out there and does that does anything like that deserves, incredible amount does anything like that derespect incredible amount does anything like that de respect incre at le amount does anything like that de respect incre at the mount does anything like that de respect incre at the time,t of respect serving at the time, of respect serving at the time, of queen country. of course, queen and country. and heroic stuff. it is and it is heroic stuff. it is very, brave. and he's been
5:43 pm
very, very brave. and he's been willing to put his life on the line for this country and. i got to here in a nice, warm to sit here in a nice, warm studio. don't ever do anything studio. i don't ever do anything like where credit like that so credit where credit is but my concern is now is due, but my concern is now that a lot people may be will be quite angry about, this not least taliban. that least the taliban. and that is obviously a worry people obviously a worry for people radical we don't need radical extremism. we don't need any them little any excuse to give them a little bit a shot in the arm. we. bit of a shot in the arm. we. but can i ask when you hear about him revealing his kill count really the done count that's not really the done thing in the military, is it? why? no no . well, it's not why? no no. well, it's not really not publicly speaking, i think i think , you know, you think i think, you know, you will get so just talking about how many those killed when they've killed and wounded them, etc. between themselves privately . that's not often the privately. that's not often the services discussion. and so quite often the subject of exaggeration as . well, as you exaggeration as. well, as you can imagine . but but no, it's can imagine. but but no, it's not. it's not i don't think it's really the thing if you're a brit to be bragging about many enemy you've killed i think i don't think find very many don't think you'd find very many veterans of the first or second world war standing up and
5:44 pm
saying, oh, i killed this, i killed. i think it's you know, there's nothing to be ashamed of. i think of. it's in fact, i think something to take pride in if you're a soldier and if killed the enemy, that's what you're paid. but there it does paid. do. but but there it does leave little of taste. leave a little bit of bad taste. i think standing up and giving a precise count. can i just ask you finally on this, do you think this is the of thing that should have been run past the ammo before it was published? well, normally when a book is published, which discusses military operations , recent military operations, recent military operations, recent military operations, recent military operations has to be approved by the ministry of defence before it can be published . don't know if this published. don't know if this was wrong. paul simon . i've got was wrong. paul simon. i've got no idea. but obviously i mean certainly as far as i'm aware, nothing that he says and it would be transferable by the modern externally if to some military secrets being revealed that him to take that they would ask him to take it nothing that is in it out. nothing like that is in this as far as aware. this book, as far as i'm aware. okay thank you very much, okay look, thank you very much, colonel camp, the former colonel richard camp, the former british army commander. anyway, to idea least, that we are to this idea least, that we are now less safe on the streets of
5:45 pm
britain as a result of prince comments, saying comments, he's saying how many people killed, people, fighters he's killed, the are about it. my the taliban are about it. my massive with this, of course, is the idea that we are safe and we've got a couple of different military voices this military voices on this a sliding scale it comes to sliding scale when it comes to the increased threat. other the increased threat. all other ways now face on the ways that we do now face on the streets of britain. my on streets of britain. my view on it well it was it would be well it was certainly more safe. oh as certainly not more safe. oh as a result of harry enraging the taliban and we know that the islamist threat in this country taliban and we know that the is|vast;t threat in this country taliban and we know that the is|vast we|reat in this country taliban and we know that the is|vast we unfortunatelyruntry taliban and we know that the is|vast we unfortunately have a is vast we unfortunately have a lot terror. is it lot of home grown terror. is it now more legitimate? now even more legitimate? my other is that if you other on this is that if you were meghan markle or indeed any of harry's children now you will have have lifetime security , have to have lifetime security, increase look increase lifetime security. look at happened at what happened. salman rushdie, sake , rushdie, for goodness sake, prince harry to be prince harry has to be especially idiotic if . he especially idiotic if. he thought now. i mean, it'll fact was take it out on his immediate family right and centre it's a good job isn't that he fled to california for a bit . peace and california for a bit. peace and quiet lots of you've been quiet anyway lots of you've been getting touch. your thoughts getting in touch. your thoughts on prince harry and as well the migrant crisis in channel. migrant crisis in the channel. we've come up
5:46 pm
we've been trying to come up with solutions that because with some solutions that because 57% that you didn't 57% of you said that you didn't think sunak keir think that rishi sunak keir starmer be able to do about starmer will be able to do about it. we ukip on earlier and we also stephen woolf who is also had stephen woolf who is the this particular the expert in this particular field solutions . field floating their solutions. i'll the harris i'll start with the harris stuff. says. harry's stuff. suzy says. harry's attempt is pain is attempt to alleviate is pain is having terrible repercussions on his family and now all of us. what's the point in him having a therapist if he the need therapist if he feels the need to all this to the to keep spelling all this to the world, it must be because he's getting paid a of money. getting paid a lot of money. well imagine it is that well i imagine it is that he's paid a of money, actually, paid a lot of money, actually, susie. i will as susie. but what i will say as well as i reckon this book was almost written by a therapist, you've got wacky woo woo you've got some wacky woo woo person california, person somewhere, california, telling it out telling him to get it all out there and while he does there and meditate while he does it and like want gwyneth it and like want to gwyneth paltrow's and all of paltrow's candles and all of this will make feel this stuff it will make you feel better. alleviate you of better. it will alleviate you of your we will get to in your burden. we will get to in the of the lady behind a pub somewhere eton area of somewhere near eton area of course full frontal harry. course get full frontal harry. well is it not now well actually is it not now endangenng and well actually is it not now endangering and also just endangering us all and also just roping i would roping us all into it. i would argue well, creating lot more
5:47 pm
argue as well, creating lot more hate for william and kate kate's been forgotten in all of this plaza she's now got to deal with all people are of course all of this people are of course annoyed aren't they. that is raking up death. yes. raking up diana's death. yes. again, saying that he thought that reinvestigate that they should reinvestigate it. was, of course, all it. and that was, of course, all blocked by men suits by the secret service, it would appear anyway , i'm going to move on to anyway, i'm going to move on to the migrant. i think that is more than enough of harry for one show. yeah. a sigh of relief from the nation that rishi sunak has made five key promises. this week speech of 2023 week in his first speech of 2023 to halve inflation, the economy, reduce the national nhs waiting list and apparently finally deliver on stopping the small boats from illegally crossing the channel this was the only part of his promises that had any kind of jeopardy to them whatsoever because all the other stuff to stuff was probably going to happen was there or happen or not. he was there or not. you'd think the migrant not. so you'd think the migrant crisis is one of his top priorities, he said again. and again pass new laws again that he will pass new laws to stop small boats , making sure to stop small boats, making sure that if illegal migrants come to this country, they are detained
5:48 pm
and swiftly removed but can actually solve . it's been actually solve. it's been something that the government has been trying to tackle for years and over half you, 57% say absolutely you have no confidence that he can deliver on this . i'm going to go to my on this. i'm going to go to my next guest now. who is kevin saunders, former chief immigration officer, uk border force. i've also better beef former brexit party mep. thank you very much both of you for coming on the show. kevin start with you and i want to put with you i put to you a combination two policy ideas that i had pitched to live on air earlier on. one of them was a complete on. one of them was a complete on any one genuine asylum seeker or making their way across the channel for five years so that we could look after the people we could look after the people we already have. that was also getting us out of the you are changing international definition of what an illegal immigrant or a refugee is expanding on everyone to policy to other countries. an increase saying and implementing i should saying and implementing i should say offshore processing. oh yeah
5:49 pm
boats in the channel that the solutions that i had from both ukip and stephen wolf earlier on do you think that would make any sense kevin. yes making lot of sense kevin. yes making lot of sense actually of the problem . sense actually of the problem. you've got the big problem. you've got the big problem. you've got the big problem. you've got all very well to say we are going to stop people coming across the channel. but we call . so what you've got to we call. so what you've got to look is what you do with the people that you pick in the channel now the eyes i've been ridiculed in some of the press for suggesting that we use cruise liners in the middle of the channel and international waters that would work that that would that would work perfectly well . yeah so that that's well. yeah so that that's something i would go oh just i'm just going to stop having just, just going to stop having just, just quietly. kevin, i'm sorry about it. it's just the audio is about it. it's just the audio is a little bit crackly, so i know
5:50 pm
we're just to work on that we're just going to work on that very i'll go to you, very quickly and i'll go to you, if all right. ben habeeb if that's all right. ben habeeb i'll throw it your way now. it's called brexit party mep badawi. ben with some interest. ben i read with some interest. i our viewers and listeners i would a bit later on would reveal was a bit later on for people weren't listening for people who weren't listening earlier show, the cost earlier on in the show, the cost of deporting an illegal immigrants is thousand pounds per person . this is being billed per person. this is being billed as a staggering waste of taxpayers yes, it could taxpayers money. yes, it could be we had more people be cheaper if we had more people on planes it would cost less on the planes it would cost less per but it per flight, wouldn't it? but it pales into insignificance when you look at what it costs us to put on put this law enforced on hotels and release them into our and then release them into our pubuc and then release them into our public services in our community. surely i absolutely. but the point i think about the £8,000 per head on the flight is that it's an entirely theoretical figure . you've theoretical figure. you've actually got to get them on a plane and that plane's got to take off. and you've to get you've got to have a mass number of planes to even make a in of planes to even make a dent in the coming the the number of people coming the channel and. you know, i know kevin and i both want to stop this problem, but i think kevin
5:51 pm
and the suggestions you came with slightly seeing with earlier a slightly seeing it the wrong way round . this it the wrong way round. this isn't an issue about meeting new laws or ditching the ecj or indeed having a cruise ship in international waters . the international waters. the problem with know the cruise idea is that the minute you bnngin idea is that the minute you bring in illegal migrants onto a ship carries a british flag, they are protected by british laws , therefore they're laws, therefore they're protected just by the uk. but our own human rights laws which which by by the way, for views are not familiar with this apply on an individual by individual there's no blanket judicial process that you can put these illegal migrants through . every illegal migrants through. every case has to be heard independently. and so there's no there's no way of resolving problem through deportation . and problem through deportation. and i think i've said this to you before. the way we got to stop this is by stopping the boats coming into british territorial waters in the place they were perfectly valid, existing
5:52 pm
international laws that allow us to do that. and we need border force. and forgive me, kevin, and this is treading on toes, but we need border force to do its job, to not taxi service, but to push these boats back into french waters . that's into french waters. that's a good point. that's a good point. this right back to kevin, who is now back with us now, kevin, i interrupted you at what sounded like vital moment. you like a very vital moment. you were about to me the were about to give me the solution migrant crisis. solution to the migrant crisis. but there was a bit of crackling on the line. what were you going to you yes so you'll to say? you know? yes so you'll some of what your other some of some of what your other guest right . you can't guest says is right. you can't use british vessel , but use british flagged vessel, but we don't have that. we've we have virtually no british flagged vessels . so that finding flagged vessels. so that finding cruiseline is not british flagged wouldn't be a problem so that that would work but the trouble is we can't stop the people coming across the channel we them back border force have already said that they won't do it it's just dangerous in the
5:53 pm
channel we can't have any more people dying in the channel so what you've got to do is you've got to make the united kingdom , got to make the united kingdom, you've got to make so people don't want to come here . now, don't want to come here. now, the only way to do that is to bnngin the only way to do that is to bring in the rule and the scheme and. my sources tell me that there are other east african countries which will jump the bandwagon once . rwanda is kicked bandwagon once. rwanda is kicked . okay, well that all sounds rather positive. unless course you are an illegal immigrants, in which case terrible news. you will be in east africa before teatime. apparently ben, i'll throw it over to you. just a final to you, ben. all people's power. the 57% of people don't believe that the tories or labour will have any way whatsoever any of clamping down on what's been going on in the channel. this presumably means a new has to come and do it. new party has to come and do it. where that new policy of i'm where is that new policy of i'm well, there is a new party that
5:54 pm
is flexing its muscles and doing rather well polls at the moment and richard tice does have a very coherent plan on this, which, by the way , does involve which, by the way, does involve intercepting these boats in the water and them back. i know. i hear what kevin says that it's dangerous, but i disagree that we don't have a right to do it. these people are putting their own danger . they're the own lives in danger. they're the ones wilfully making a ones who wilfully making a decision to take that dangerous journey across from france to us. they're already in a safe country and we have all the requisite internet law on our side to push the boats back into their waters . we talk about their waters. we talk about being tough on them once they get to the uk. what kind message doesit get to the uk. what kind message does it give when border force is acting as a free taxi service thatis is acting as a free taxi service that is from the from the word go . you've lost the battle. so go. you've lost the battle. so any plan which which which based on deportation is going to fail as it's a shame and i'm absolutely certain as , well, the absolutely certain as, well, the border force don't enjoy doing it. but if you you very much really good stuff that's a
5:55 pm
