3:08 pm

3:09 pm
. how do you know when people throw away their documentation and, lie about with the real names and dates of birth or who they and the potential threat they and the potential threat they pose. coupled with the other scam that's going on, which is many people who are adults are being told to see that they're teenagers because they are treated differently within the asylum system . we within the asylum system. we know that they've been both on in tandem. so this case is really a stark illustration of that. and following this murder now have lee anderson who is on the home affairs select committee. a senior backbencher now seeing it's time to actually detain all asylum seekers. until we can do proper checks to establish who exactly they are . establish who exactly they are. the potential threat that they pose. this is what he said, first of all, saying from day one, anybody arriving here illegally on our shores because can't do the full background checks. can't do the full background checks . they should be detained checks. they should be detained and detained until can fully
3:10 pm
decide who they are, why they've come from and if they've got a legitimate asylum claim. if not keep them detained in detention , that's not too difficult to . , that's not too difficult to. okay so first of all, ladies and gentlemen, everyone watching or listening. i want your views on that. do think, as lee anderson has suggested, that should has suggested, that there should be detention until, be mandatory detention until, frankly out who frankly, we can figure out who a lot of these people are. but the details of this case not why are staggering the catalogue of unbelief offences and the fact this guy ended up in a school full of kids in this country. yeah. abdul rahim is i came to the uk in 2019, crossed the channel ferry, claimed asylum this and said he was 14 years old and then out along with his lawyers according to authorities for a number of years the proper vetting checks to try to determine what he was. there's no determined that he's now 21. he would have been 18 actually, when he crossed. and of course,
3:11 pm
by claiming he was 14, he's given completely different treatment . he's given completely different treatment. he's put in the care , a foster family who incident have said that they were very concerned about his behaviour, the fact that he was constant me stealing knives from the foster mother to go out into the streets of and around dorset, carrying this knife feeling that he was properly entitled to do that. he was properly entitled to do that . well, it's now, of course, that. well, it's now, of course, a marriage that when this young man came across before he came across about a year before he , across about a year before he, was involved allegedly in the murder of two again after gangs in serbia in what was believed to be a dispute over people smuggling. he were told, had an ak 47, shot them at close range. he was convicted in his absence by the serbian government, also convicted of drug offences in norway and denied asylum and in that country. you were seeing also some indications he was convicted of further drug
3:12 pm
offences in italy and for the home office here there's nightmare scenario of not really being able to get a handle on who he was and check all this because there's no sort of joined up database with serbia. but in in reality he was giving a completely different name to the name jihad in serbia anyway . yeah. and a completely different system isn't this this really is the point when people go we don't know who some of these people are and exactly where they come from or exactly what their state of mind is or exactly what capable. exactly what they're capable. it's like that makes it's stuff like this that makes not justified to say there's doubt. and authorities have told me out of the, you know, me that out of the, you know, 45, almost 6000 who came last yean 45, almost 6000 who came last year, there is no doubt there are hundreds of who have a criminal who are not really conducive to the public good in this particular country. here, you would never want to allow into your nation and be a potential to the uk, but
3:13 pm
difficulty is if , potential to the uk, but difficulty is if, as we've discussed, you can't really get a handle on who they are because they're giving false information and they're being schooled by the people traffickers. and then of course once they get into the hands of sort of immigration lawyers , they are they are not lawyers, they are they are not seeing that immigration lawyers are telling them to do anything illegal. but they're certainly coaching them on the best, most way to that are asylum process and their asylum decision is favourable. at the end of the day . one of the favourable. at the end of the day. one of the things i'm going to come onto a bit later in the show is how on earth the particular individual who was posing as a 14 year old was allowed to school. allowed to attend school. obviously people are obviously with people who are genuinely 14 years old. a lot of reports out about some of the things that may or may not have happened whilst at that happened whilst he was at that school well. stuff will school as well. stuff will come onto that. but age checks onto that. but the age checks are thing. me. why can't are a big thing. me. why can't we do mandatory age for people. is it difficult ? there's a lot
3:14 pm
is it difficult? there's a lot of opposition that is coming from human rights groups and lawyers who say that this is invasive , you know, as far as invasive, you know, as far as children are , it infringes on children are, it infringes on their human rights. but this morning, as well as lee anderson now saying that he wants people detained until we can ascertain exactly who they are and the threat that they pose, the minister, chris philp , speaking minister, chris philp, speaking on lbc today , has said that this on lbc today, has said that this case with abdul rahim , as case with abdul rahim, as i absolutely illustrates why we need to be more innovative and carry out what some may say are invasive checks but really it's x—raying wrists and other procedures that are not painful . but yes, they are medical checks to try to determine whether the body of an individual is the body of a 14, 15, 16 year old individual is the body of a 14, 15,16 year old or individual is the body of a 14, 15, 16 year old or the body of a 19, 20, 21 year old. yeah, that's chris philp says we need do and he said that the
3:15 pm
immigration robert jenrick is going to go ahead with proposals in the very near to ensure that those are carried out to stop people who are coming over here claiming to be children and then just disappearing well and then just disappearing well and then just disappearing. and he's on that note as well. i understand the home office is investigating as well moving this story as well just moving this story on. it gets worse. ladies and gentlemen, this gentlemen, if are glued to this at what car, radios, at home, what car, radios, whatever you're doing this. claims that asylum seeking children kidnapped children are being kidnapped from hotels. what's the detail this? well, i have to say that the feedback i'm getting from sources is they're pretty and dubious about this line that they're being kidnapped . yes. they're being kidnapped. yes. people who . on the of it being people who. on the of it being considered child asylum seekers are from hotels around the country in the hundreds but the there is a suspicion from the authorities that actually many
3:16 pm
of these children are not children at all and they fall the category of abdulrahim so who see that there are actually children when they're adults and they're not disappearing because being kidnapped but they're being kidnapped but they're being met in prearranged meetings . people who are meetings. people who are facilitating journey away from those hotels to do whatever they do to meet up with friends , do to meet up with friends, family, work in the illegal economy into criminality, whatever it might be. but i'd be very careful about buying into the in the narrative that people are coming in just kidnapping these children. that's not what i'm being told is. what the authorities suspected. so that's just what we, as always, very, very lucky, have my white services here. our gb news. marc, you will be in and out throughout the course. this show, these variety, frankly, pretty but blindingly pretty bleak, but blindingly obvious. unfortunately many cases stories keep coming into is mark thank you very much. my way down and security editor good grief ladies and gentlemen,
3:17 pm
it is a absolute shocker it. this individual posing as a 14 year old boy, double murderer in another country, convicted drug deaung another country, convicted drug dealing offences in another country allowed wander and enter a uk school and murder an individual on the streets . individual on the streets. britain it is shocking stuff . it britain it is shocking stuff. it isindeed britain it is shocking stuff. it is indeed which moving away from now. for a moment, the ladies and gentlemen because probation officers have been accused of having, quote blood on their hands after failing , has left hands after failing, has left a sexual predator to free stalk and kill a trainee solicitor. just days after his release to prison from prison. joining mcsweeney sexually assaulted and 35 year old zara alena in east london in june 20, 22. the 29 year old attacks are near her home in ilford. he was jailed for 38 years last december and had 28 separate convictions dating back 17 years. today the head of the probation watchdog, justin russell, that mcsweeney should have been recalled to prison six days before the attack . a probation staff had attack. a probation staff had followed procedures correctly.
3:18 pm
well, let's speak now to our london reporter. at least half of lisa . thank you very much. so of lisa. thank you very much. so what does this report actually conclude then? so the report by chief inspector of probation justin russell found failings by officers left sexual predator mcsweeney free to stalk and kill law graduate zara aleena just days after he was released from prison . 28 previous convictions. prison. 28 previous convictions. but it was still as a medium risk by a team. the report found probation failings that prevented the sexual predator from being recalled to prison could happen again. the chief probation inspector said there are over 500 serious further offences committed by people on probation each year. he said that the lesson from the case was that overworked don't have the time to go back over files. he added staff are forgetting to do checks with local councils police because their case loads are so big. they have limited times to do an assessment. so they tend to just focus on the most immediate offence rather than looking over someone's than looking back over someone's criminal yes goodness me criminal past. yes goodness me
3:19 pm
and the family of zara aleena have actually spoken out this afternoon. i think they want have to say so as arlene is on fire and has said that she thinks it's pretty clear that women and girls safe if the probation service isn't doing its job properly . in its job properly. in a statement, prisons probation minister damian hinds apologised to miss ellie and his family for the unacceptable failings in this case. however, ms. ness has said the family need more than an apology. she said these recommendations have been made before and. people have been promised that they're going to be followed up . this is far and be followed up. this is far and as now we've a clip of her speaking earlier. there's a lot of errors here . this wasn't just of errors here. this wasn't just a man who happened to kill zara because . he's a monster. this because. he's a monster. this monster was made this monster was facilitated . and this was facilitated. and this monster was given a licence to walk free. lisa you very much
3:20 pm
for bringing us that report as our learned reporter. lisa hartl well, also me is former information officer and professor of criminology at stanford university is james treadwell. james thank you very much, so to speak. jonathan, bleak circus is, of course, i think the immediately thing here is the fact that you were a former probation officer . a lot former probation officer. a lot of the headlines , maybe i'm of the headlines, maybe i'm guilty doing this from time to time is sticking it to people like this guy wanting do your job. but reality is that job. but the reality is that they massively over words, they are massively over words, aren't they. however stark facts of this case and you look at this guy criminal record as long as your arm. how on earth was he allowed go out and kill ? i allowed to go out and kill? i think that's a very, very good question and analysis question. and further analysis has been brilliant in what she said . but i think the problem is said. but i think the problem is to locate the failures purely at the hands of the officers and not follow them up the chain. that's part of the problem and that's not forget that this is happening just days after damien
3:21 pm
bendall and his case. and then we can go back to usman khan and i can go right the way back to lisa skidmore and happening again and again. and again. and when these sorts of failures do happen, what then happens ? the happen, what then happens? the people who are held responsible are the people at the front line . that's the individual probation officers . there's no probation officers. there's no accountability for the people up the chain who are managing them. there's no accountability . her there's no accountability. her majesty's bow his majesty's pfison majesty's bow his majesty's prison and probation service , as prison and probation service, as is now in ministry of justice. and there's no in government where every time there's happens, there's we're really sorry. changes will be made. it happen again. and the same thing out yet again because there are a lot of things going on in the background here with for example risk assessments, not necessarily being fit for purpose . there's, there's not purpose. there's, there's not enough time given over there's not the courts evolution version of that professional curiae or city that's needed for a law and
3:22 pm
foresman agency to be checking of verifying people's background and history and i can't help but wonder i can't help but wonder though , what point we have to though, what point we have to lock people up and throw away the key. all right. this guy jailed for 38 years probably will never the light of day. god, he's committed a very heinous crime he's already killed somebody on 28 separate convictions dating back 17 years. you are, of course as well a professor of criminology . oh, there's some people here who. just need be locked away who. just need to be locked away forever they kill forever before. they go and kill . yeah. there are some very, very dangerous people out there. and if not locked away , then and if not locked away, then they be very, very they need to be very, very careful , professionally managed careful, professionally managed and includes, for example , and that includes, for example, allowing them roam the allowing them to roam the streets for hours and hours and hours when you know that they're risk and they should be back in prison custody. and many prison custody. and in many ways, know , it's not just ways, you know, it's not just the system of recalling individuals and beginning that process then having the process, it's then having the power to go out, take them off the streets quickly and
3:23 pm
effectively . and very often that effectively. and very often that doesn't happen. you know because whose responsible for doing that has that police officers then who are very often overstretched overworked to go out and get people whereas in in all honesty a lot of the time they're not arresting people who've failed to turn at courts on a warrant, people who've breached licences less than encounter them through everyday interactions. so are huge failures across the whole of the justice system and i think we ought to think about this in light of the previous story that he had as well, whereby we're failing to verify people who are arriving in the country unnecessarily. check out who those are. so just on that just on that . right. people just on that. right. people i hate to say it, but i think have a right to be fearful. they have a right to be fearful. they have a right to be fearful. they have a right to be scared. you look at this particular chap, double murder, a different country drug dealer obsession with knives fighting for money on streets in britain allowed to wander into a
3:24 pm
school and stay there, posing as a child goes on to kill all and goodness knows what may or goodness knows what else may or may as well. may not have done as well. you've this particular you've got this particular individual a of individual here a string of convictions. as your arm convictions. as long as your arm allowed on and killing allowed to go on and killing a horrific way, a girl, people like you and i everyone like you and i and everyone watching listening to this watching or listening to this now he's on all security now rely he's on all security services , various different services, various different levels. i to say but are we being let down? i think we are. yeah i think we are. lots lots of the time. and i also think there is a wider problem at times and i've written and talked about this with the kind of ideology that comes at times from high the sort of progressive liberalism at times that kind of says look things will be alright. these people just need to be kind of brought into the good and isn't enough cynicism at times when people have done very, very bad things about their potential to change, you know, the greatest indicator of the future risk what someone's done previously , you someone's done previously, you know, i agree completely and i'm
3:25 pm
sorry about this. we can ask because we're a little bit pressed for time. but i think people have been hung on every single word that you said that it was very, very valid, the loss it and frankly as well, loss of it and frankly as well, common sense, appears to common sense, which appears to have and certainly in have been lucky and certainly in the two i've the first two stories i've covered that is course, covered here, that is course, former officer, former probation officer, professor at professor of criminology at stanford university, jane strobel james. thank strobel speak at st james. thank you write bit of you very, very write a bit of a bleak starts to show that ladies and gentlemen but to important stories get stories nonetheless. and get your in on both your emails coming in on both of those views i want to those gb views on. i want to know whether or not you think we should have mandatory age checks for who's claiming asylum for anyone who's claiming asylum in country. up, in this country. coming up, though, an update. the continued fallout teams fallout over two teams of hallways, multi—million pound tax one senior tory says tax case. one senior tory says the former chancellor should stand aside whilst an investigation is conducted . i investigation is conducted. i will back in. i.

3:38 pm
we heard from why it will be in a little bit later, our home and security editor. apparently some people it's against people believe that it's against human to do age human rights to do age verification mean, verification checks. i mean, i would argue against the would argue it's against the human in this country human of people in this country basically to be free from the idea of this particular adult fully grown man in that child's. and that should be the way the human rights. but tony says when these should these people arrive, they should be fingerprinted be photographed, fingerprinted and but to my and given a name. but to my knowledge, this isn't done properly. tony, i believe in this as well, this this case as well, because this chap so different chap was using so many different names it was basically names and it was basically impossible for us trace the impossible for us to trace the fact that he'd shot two people dead in dead with an ak seven. in another of the world and been done for drug offences and all of leslie says. just of this stuff. leslie says. just one more hair. i don't see why. home check international home doesn't check international passport match passport databases to match photos . people passport databases to match photos. people claiming be photos. people claiming to be children if they travel through various countries to get here. surely there will be sort surely there will be some sort of have thought of trial. you would have thought so. would thought so . so. you would have thought so. but doesn't but unfortunately that doesn't to going to be to be any. we're going to be returning to that story throughout the course show. throughout the course of show. keep coming in.
3:39 pm
keep your e—mails coming in. we're also to get a couple of you live on air to talk about it a bit later on when we hear from you. people on you. wonderful people live on the moving away from that the but moving away from that for government for now the uk government borrowed month than borrowed more last month than any monday any december since monday records began over 30 years ago. that's according to new official figures from the office for national statistics and it's been to inflation with been linked to inflation with energy bills, support for households and rising debt on interest costs. driving. soaring borrowing. joining me now who else is our business and editor liam halligan with . on the roy liam halligan with. on the roy lamb borrowing ? borrowing, lamb borrowing? borrowing, borrowing. what's going on? the british government is borrowing a huge amount of money. patrick and these figures for december i have to say, really are quite eye popping. here's some of the numbers in a graphic just to help viewers get their heads around . all to my best for the around. all to my best for the folks listening on the radio in december 20, 20 to a low in the british government borrowed £27.4 billion. a penny on income
3:40 pm
tax raises about £5 billion, right the year. so in a single month. wow. the british government borrowed , £27.4 government borrowed, £27.4 billion. and that's more than double what it borrowed in december 21, double what it borrowed in december 21 , £10.7 billion. december 21, £10.7 billion. massive increase. why did borrowing go to the moon in december? well, the reason is we can see in the next graphic it's because the government spent a lot of money, the energy support scheme, even oil and gas prices lower now than before the war in ukraine started last february. of course, energy are still twice as high that lots of profits or certainly surpluses for the energy companies. they would deny that. so the british is supporting our household utility bills , the tune of is supporting our household utility bills, the tune o f £7 utility bills, the tune of £7 billion in a single month , billion in a single month, 700,000 million. and also even more eye popping in a single month. the british government was on the hook fo r £17.3 was on the hook for £17.3 billion of interest on the debt that it owes right . not billion of interest on the debt
3:41 pm
that it owes right. not just that's not paying back the debt. that's interest on the that it owes. why is the interest rate bill so massive in a single month? because interest rates have gone up a lot over the last yeah have gone up a lot over the last year. but also because of inflation and increasingly our debt. we index link it to inflation. we have to some people will buy it. the government says we'll pay you back not only with interest, will also adjust what you've lent us for inflation so you don't lose out from inflation. so these are huge numbers . and so these are huge numbers. and it's quite alarming . and so when it's quite alarming. and so when people say, oh, the british government can afford to just pay government can afford to just pay public sector workers, they're just being horrible because they don't want to pay it. well because they don't want to pay it. wel l £17.4 billion in one it. well £17.4 billion in one month on interest . it. well £17.4 billion in one month on interest. can we it. well £17.4 billion in one month on interest . can we really month on interest. can we really afford to borrow more? well, yes. where does this leave yes. and where does this leave us going? we're still us going? because we're still having pay a lot back. we are having to pay a lot back. we are having to pay a lot back. we are having pay a lot. this is having to pay a lot. the this is this is what happens, in my view, when the state gets too big, though the tax burden big, even though the tax burden tax a share of the whole is a
3:42 pm
tax as a share of the whole is a 70, 70. yes. 700 high. we're still a huge amount of money and in it strikes me patrick, this is the long tail if you like, of the cost of lockdown . we spent the cost of lockdown. we spent so much money on lockdown , four, so much money on lockdown, four, 500 billion quid and there's lots and lots of borrowing in the system which does limit the government's room for manoeuvre, not only to award pay rises in the public sector, which in some cases may be very well deserved. right. i'm about it. but right. i'm not about it. but also the government to spend money to give breaks, try money or to give breaks, to try to stimulate certain parts of the economy, much much harder. when is spending billion quid in a month on your debt interest? yeah, absolutely . and i think yeah, absolutely. and i think you just hammer a lot it home to people on i'm tactical flicker of interest patrick in your eyes and trust you my interest rate is going up you see what i did thatis is going up you see what i did that is not these are really incredible numbers. it is and i'm trying to explain them in layman but there should be more of this should be more of this done. think in the terms that
3:43 pm
done. i think in the terms that you've there because the you've just in there because the absolute hammer is to be absolute hammer is going to be blown, i think, oh, maybe, maybe we do economics and we should do more economics and business i suggested that business i know i suggested that because i think though seriously, to this seriously, when it comes to this hammering home to a lot of people when they think there is a money tree in this a magic money tree in this country, monetary debt, country, magic monetary debt, absolute nonsense. if there was absolute nonsense. if there was a tree right, then absolute nonsense. if there was a know, tree right, then absolute nonsense. if there was a know, the tree right, then absolute nonsense. if there was a know, the roman ght, then absolute nonsense. if there was a know, the roman empirezn you know, the roman empire wouldn't collapsed. wouldn't have collapsed. zimbabwe g7 right now. zimbabwe be in the g7 right now. there not money tree . it there not a magic money tree. it is not a point of view. it's just it's stark, historic fact . just it's stark, historic fact. but it's not all doom and gloom. i just want to quickly mention i want to quickly mention a cbi survey confederation of british industry . they put out these industry. they put out these surveys, they they they talk to lots and lots of business leaders across the economy. it's just very briefly, it seems that there are signs as we've there are now signs as we've been , of easing prices in the been, of easing prices in the supply chain for the producer price index comes out tomorrow. it seems firms inputs the that they need to produce the goods and services they sell us are
3:44 pm
now starting to get cheaper or at least they're not getting as expensive as quickly and this is a reason why my humble opinion inflation and the headline figure quite soon is going to start coming down. they got nothing, so a little bit of good. there you go there, guys. always them wanting more. liam, always leaving on a high absolutely tough right liam halligan is the money our halligan is on the money our economics and business editor. all let's get more on the all right, let's get more on the main story were doing at main story that we were doing at the of the show is asylum the top of the show is asylum seeker has been convicted of seeker who has been convicted of , the murder of an aspiring royal entered the uk royal marine entered the uk posing as a child. this is the story of course of one gain. abdul ryan's fatally stabbed a 21 year old called thomas roberts during a row over an e—scooter bournemouth in march 20, 22. it's emerged that he had killed two people in serbia. he denied asylum in norway. israel had loads of questions over how effective vetting procedures are for asylum seekers coming into this country. later on, i'm going to be talking to somebody who's got kids. he's got kids, a
3:45 pm
school age and has got some pretty strong views about whether not people such as whether or not people such as this posing as an this individual posing as an aduu this individual posing as an adult sorry, posing as a child, i should say, is adult i should say, but is an adult should be allowed in british schools innocent. schools around innocent. but joining cbe, the joining me now is tony cbe, the former director general of uk border force. tony you very much. i'm getting emails in the hundreds in front of me going why can we do mandatory age tests for everyone who comes over here ? well, rightly so. over here? well, rightly so. patrick it's a very good question. and this case highlights a problem we've had for a great many in the border force, even since i was about how do we know how old is when we've got nothing to go on. they throw their passports away. well, don't baggage well, we don't have any baggage or any other documents to check. we to go by what they we simply to go by what they tell and so this person tell us. and so this person clearly claimed be aged 14 and the tests we currently at the border force is known emergencies, something that we acquired from social services that if acquired from social services thatifis acquired from social services that if is not patently older
3:46 pm
than that we mean obviously i older than that then he will be treated in the first instance, at least under the unaccompanied minor provisions, which means he'll go into social care . the he'll go into social care. the reason i do the it of course is because very, very difficult to because very, very difficult to be removed from country if be removed from this country if you unaccompanied minor you are an unaccompanied minor as opposed to an adult. so but i mean, it does highlight i think a concerns that we a number of concerns that we should about age should have about age assessments border the assessments at the border the government looking government are looking at more scientific opportunities. there's recent report there's been a recent report published scientific age published about scientific age and i think we need to start to introduce because it been a serious problem for a very long time now. we can do things like dental do things dental checks, you can do things like x—rays, for example, like wrist x—rays, for example, arguments and for arguments against it. and for i life me, will never life of me, will never understand why make this argument. only assume that argument. i can only assume that they have some kind of weird quantum fairies intention. frankly it's basic stuff is it's against human rights . what about against human rights. what about the human rights of the people here who don't want to send their kid to a school where
3:47 pm
there's a murderer, an there's a double murderer, an aduu there's a double murderer, an adult double sitting at back adult double sitting at the back of exactly of the classroom? exactly patrick, this is a real concern because we must try not get it wrong. either way, we can't have adults going into the child system. we can't have children going the adults either. in going to the adults either. in my experience , i say the my experience, i say the current, the merchant process is on the side of accepting a person's claim that they are a minor unless is patently obvious that they are not. and that's quite difficult when we're talking people in their teens up to about the age of 21 as you say they're also in search of techniques available they're being used in some scandinavia in countries i know at the borders there. and i think the government now looking at government are now looking at introducing at the introducing such things at the bottom. going bottom. they're going to be people looking well, people looking to say, well, this you know, this is intrusive. you know, you're x rays dental you're doing x rays and dental examinations say, all examinations on asylum, say, all kinds of arguments like that. but for my i think do need to but for my i think we do need to do this. patrick and do something this. patrick and clearly do it clearly we need to do it urgently this is a urgently because this is a terrible and my thoughts terrible case and my thoughts are very much the victims family. well it currently
3:48 pm
family. well as it currently stands, problem there stands, the problem is there is nothing place the minute nothing in place at the minute to happening again. to stop this happening again. the checks, not the age checks, frankly, not taking place anything like the age checks, frankly, not taki regularity anything like the age checks, frankly, not taki regularity would ng like the age checks, frankly, not taki regularity would like ke the regularity we would like them there will be fully them to be there will be fully grown men in schools at this very moment in time right now and nothing will be being done about reports flagged up about it. reports flagged up about it. reports flagged up about knives, people about interest in knives, people flushing social flushing it all over social media nothing done about media nothing being done about it is a massive massive it and this is a massive massive problem people thank you problem people tony, thank you very smith cbe, the very much. tony smith cbe, the former general uk former director general, uk border if any good border force, surely if any good can come out of this horrific case, it has to be that things do your faith, that they will do that anyway. we're moving on now, gentlemen , now, ladies and gentlemen, because concerns are growing for a baby and, a woman her newborn baby and, her partner almost weeks since they went missing. police now believe have been sleeping in a tent in support minus conditions, constant is martin and mark gordon are the subjects of an international missing persons investigation. after a string of attempts to slip under the radar of authorities they were last seen buying camping gear at argos in one japanese

3:50 pm
the port of harwich. they were then spotted in the essex town of colchester at 9 am. the last sighting of the family was the white chapel area of the police now say that mark gordon was seen cctv going into the argos in white chapel where he bought tent two sleeping bags and two pillows each time . ms. martin pillows each time. ms. martin and mr. gordon are spotted on cctv , they're covering their cctv, they're covering their faces or away and they have kept their baby covered up . their baby covered up. investigators say the couple appeared to how to evade authorities , making the search authorities, making the search for them even concerns are also growing as neither. constance nor the baby have seen. a doctor the family have no luggage . most the family have no luggage. most of their belongings were destroyed in the car fire. but constance , believed to have constance, believed to have access to cash . her father, access to cash. her father, napier marten a direct appeal to his daughter through the independent newspaper darling constance . even though we remain
3:51 pm
constance. even though we remain a strange at the moment, i stand by as i always done and as the family has always done , to do family has always done, to do whatever , is necessary for your whatever, is necessary for your safe to us, i beseech you to find a way to , turn yourself and find a way to, turn yourself and your wee one into the police as soon as possible . so you and he soon as possible. so you and he or she can be protected protected . only then can a protected. only then can a process of healing and recovery begin however long it may , begin however long it may, however difficult it may be, little is known of mark gordon . little is known of mark gordon. he was born in birmingham, but to the us with his family when he was 15, he was convicted of rape and spent the next 20 years in jail . he was recorded as in jail. he was recorded as deported . the us in 2010, deported. the us in 2010, constance and mark appear to have gotten into a relationship in 2016 when she dropped out of drama school. she has been
3:52 pm
estranged from friends family ever since . photos on her ever since. photos on her facebook shared in 2020 captioned her loves frogs appears to suggest she's had more than one child in a statement, the metropolitan police said child, especially a tiny newborn baby, should be forced to endure such dangerous, potentially life conditions. please your eyes peeled, especially when you are out and aboutin especially when you are out and about in waste ground beauty spots or while you're walking the dog and report any no matter how insignificant you think it is to us ellie costello . gb is to us ellie costello. gb news. yes, well, ali just told me ellie costello is here in the studio. me i know you've been monitoring this case very closely. a lot of people wondering how on earth they managed stay hidden. and the concern, of course, for newborn baby really ? yes, of course. i baby really? yes, of course. i mean, this does seem like a family that do want to be family that do not want to be found and it must said found patrick. and it must said they've a very good job of they've done a very good job of evading the authorities for the past three weeks. they haven't
3:53 pm
been of been seen since the 7th of january. it must be said, though, constance martin is though, that constance martin is an aristocrat. she has to cash perhaps someone like you or i wouldn't be to go under the radar for this long, but she does. and the police certainly believe she has access to large of cash. one of the reasons why she able to go undetected and this is the new information that's come today, which is that the police believe they've now got the last official sighting of the family it was buying camping in whitechapel in east london on the 7th of january. they paid cash, which is what they appeared be doing. and you will notice in cctv pictures if you're listening on the radio, the couple do have their up and they always have faces covered. the babies also always hidden away, sometimes in his mother's coat or or her mother's coat, other and or otherwise in the. so they certainly do want to be left to their own devices. but of course the police want to find them because there are
3:54 pm
concerns because constance martin there's belief that she gave birth in the back of that burnt out car that was found on the 5th of january reports the placenta was found in the back of that and neither constance nor the baby had been seen a doctor and that is why the police just so desperate to get hold of this family. absolutely. i believe might have a picture of the i think that they purchased there today. so that if you're watching on tv , you if you're watching on tv, you can see it if it isn't already. well, i said a relatively small i would say probably a two or three person blue light blue tent . and people are being urged tent. and people are being urged . just keep an eye out for that baby. . just keep an eye out for that baby . these people will be baby. these people will be camping out one night. well, that's certainly what's the authorities are thinking now . authorities are thinking now. now is a two man tent from now it is a two man tent from argos to see max and two pillows that were purchased, which would suggest the family are suggest that the family are camping out somewhere in. the uk. the point being that they haven't been seen since the 7th of january so they really could be anywhere now. and that's what
3:55 pm
the police in the metropolitan police said in a news statement they a news statement today. they that anybody anywhere that they want anybody anywhere in the country to keep their eyes peeled when they're out on a walk or a beauty spot, a dog walk or in a beauty spot, even waste ground. look for even in waste ground. look for this blue it's a light this blue tent. it's a light blue tent, isn't it? quite small one. let the police know one. and let the police know even if you think it's insignificant. it could be really for this investigation . really for this investigation. absolutely. ali, look, thank you very much for bringing that report. ellie costello out there, of course, on national reporter ryan. well, we're going to delve back in to the inboxes to delve back in to the inboxes to round off this hour of you've been getting in touch your thoughts about that one that we're with throughout thoughts about that one that we'icourse with throughout thoughts about that one that we'icourse \show1roughout thoughts about that one that we'icourse \showwill]hout thoughts about that one that we'icourse \show will be ut the course the show will be returning throughout. it's returning to it throughout. it's about who about the asylum seeker who poses a child went on an poses a child went on to kill an individual. an aspiring royal marine in bournemouth an marine in bournemouth over an argument over e—scooters supposedly track as long as supposedly a track as long as your arm a double murderer in a different country convicted of drug asylum in drug offences, denied asylum in norway supposedly allowed to come here poses a 14 year old granted access to a skull. wendy says i worked with unaccompanied
3:56 pm
minors for a local council of a ten years the majority. i work were above 20 and usually in their thirties were required to integrate them into schools, which was a significant safeguard issue. but everyone seemed turn a blind eye on our school, on a unit where the children with beards were able study away from the main classrooms. i mean it's absolutely , isn't it? people absolutely, isn't it? people talk about human rights . they talk about human rights. they say, well, what about the human rights of? these people, we can't dental check them. we can't dental check them. we can't do wrist x—rays. what about the human rights? 14 about the human rights? the 14 year old who's in a year old girl who's in a classroom a fully grown man from a country walks a different country walks in one day to them in day and sits next to them in a math class. and it turns out in this particular case that man happens be double murderer happens to, be a double murderer with of drug convictions with string of drug convictions as on to commit as. well, he went on to commit a double under another murder. so shocking stuff. david says. i am no but the no lawyer, but surely the british the to sue british have the right to sue this for aiding and this government for aiding and abetting immigration abetting illegal immigration and dereliction failing , dereliction of duty by failing, protect our borders and the british enough. not, british people is enough. not, of british of course, the british government would say that they

4:07 pm
despite , having been convicted despite, having been convicted of . a double murder in serbia of. a double murder in serbia and denied asylum in norway. he was convicted for the fatal stabbing of 21 year old thomas roberts in bournemouth , an roberts in bournemouth, an argument over an. he was also allowed into school, obviously full of . now the tory mp lee full of. now the tory mp lee anderson who sits in the home affairs committee says all asylum seekers should be detained until full background checks have been carried out. joining me now is gb news is very at home security ed smart white mark there's suggestion is getting a lot of traction detaining all asylum seekers. well frankly until know a bit more about them. yeah mean there are practical difficulties in that the government would have to acquire centres detention centres that these people could be put in. we know when they've tried to do that with the likes of the barracks up in linton or news in yorkshire. there was a big public there have been outcries about university campus being used up in hull. people don't want thousands of young
4:08 pm
men mainly housed in their areas as well. it would have to be a secure detention centre as well. so they would need to infrastructure. there practically speaking, it might be in the short term to achieve that, but can absolutely see the sense in where lee anderson is going. as far as people are concerned, because been highlighting for a long time the real concerns that authorities have, that people coming across into the uk by small boat in the backs of lorries, however they it, they're told by the people smugglers to throw their documentation away , their documentation away, their passports, other identified documents, mobile phones. they turn up, then they give a story to the border force officials in the uk that they may this age. they're called whatever name, they're called and this is their back. they're called and this is their back . and it's really , to be back. and it's really, to be fair to the authorities is really, really difficult for them properly to investigate these people are. now this young
4:09 pm
man was convicted of a double murder horrific double murder in serbia gunned two other afghans . a dispute apparently over people smuggling, . a dispute apparently over people smuggling , shot them with people smuggling, shot them with an ak 47, was convicted in his absence, but he was convicted of that crime under another name and another date of birth. so if the uk authorities had checked with the serbians , they'd never with the serbians, they'd never have known this young man was the same man. so lee anderson saying given all that, no , we saying given all that, no, we need to have a proper system where anyone arriving undocumented should be detained and we can establish who they are. this is what had been saying from day one. anybody arriving here illegally , our arriving here illegally, our shores, because we can't do the background checks, they should be detained and detained until we can formally decide they are where they've come from and if they've got a legitimate asylum claim. keep home claim. if not, keep home detained in detention centres , detained in detention centres, that's not too difficult to do .
4:10 pm
that's not too difficult to do. okay, so that's lee anderson front backbench . tory mp saying front backbench. tory mp saying that in response to this horrific incident that we should be detaining people until we know a bit more about them. the fact is we appear unable to stop people coming over if they ditch their documents and we are therefore unable with any kind of ease whatsoever to know who they are or where that from. it would also make it difficult to do background checks, etc. one thing that i think is fascinating in all the people is the age checks. now, this particular individual claimed that he was a 14 year old boy. i mean , he's 49. cristiano ronaldo mean, he's 49. cristiano ronaldo , the 5:00 shadow on that guy from the say day that he rocks up here, i think was absolutely. why can't we do age checks? the truth is, there's a whole industry built up around those who want to come here and claim asylum status with a view getting into the uk from the outset, from the people smugglers , those arranging for
4:11 pm
smugglers, those arranging for their transport to france and then the channel and then the lawyers as well . no, i'm not lawyers as well. no, i'm not saying that the immigration in any way are coaching these people to break the law , but people to break the law, but they are certainly giving them they are certainly giving them the best advice to ensure they the best advice to ensure they the best advice to ensure they the best possible outcome with their asylum claims and the people smugglers are absolutely not just breaking the law in taking across the channel illegally, but they are telling them what they should do, which is through passports, through your documents or , your phones your documents or, your phones away until this particular background story and see if you're young enough to get away with it. yeah. see you are a child because then it's a process you enter into and it's far more difficult rid of an unaccompanied child. of course than it is an adult. and in the they get given school places. this particular individual was a place at a foster home. i mean, that foster mother is an incredibly lucky individual.
4:12 pm
this particular chap in question was pocketing knives, was seen stealing knives. clearly, you should see this is on the evening that he killed this young man in bournemouth was an argument that broke out this . argument that broke out this. young man had intervened really try and act as a peacemaker and got . so what you're looking at got. so what you're looking at now , if you're watching on telly now, if you're watching on telly is what might that was. this is this is his movements prior to that event, it was an argument over an e—scooter this is him in a shop prior to the stabbing taking place. there's other video as well. cctv shows him getting into another violent argument with a group in bournemouth outside a pub little earlier on where you can see actually headbutting a man in bournemouth as. actually headbutting a man in bournemouth as . well, and part bournemouth as. well, and part of that this is the incident here, you see he comes into shot with the hood just heads but simon there so this was violent man he got into street fighting
4:13 pm
to some money he was because he was a child or said he was a child in fact he was an adult yeah but because was a child he was taken on then into the foster care system. so the foster care system. so the foster family is foster has said that she was very concerned and worried because he kept stealing from a kitchen which he would wander about with outside because he believed he had the right to do to protect himself, according her. and of course, i know he had a knife. well which he used in murderous way or not evening in march of last year, i'm suppose he was posting things on tiktok on snapchat that to see look see that that is a knife that the individual is a knife that the individual is holding there are snapchat so there are other marks as well. there's a snapshot this is him again , what you can see how again, what you can see how violent this young man was. so very any post tiktok videos, as you say showing his fighting , you say showing his fighting, posing with knives and things
4:14 pm
like that the bell, you know should have been ring red flag, red flag, red flag stop. and it absolutely astonishing that this particular was allowed to well, get into britain, stay britain, be in a school, get into britain, stay britain, be in a school , for example. but be in a school, for example. but the problem is a lot of people looking at this now listening to this now be thinking, well, what's going to take place to? stop this happening again. well, the figures and this the latest figures and this is more people that you're more news for people that you're going to bring to them is the amount of people who are, quote unquote, being kidnapped from hotels. scepticism unquote, being kidnapped from hote|that. scepticism unquote, being kidnapped from hote|that. these scepticism unquote, being kidnapped from hote|that. these hotelsscepticism unquote, being kidnapped from hote|that. these hotels talking;m over that. these hotels talking about sources about now. yeah sources said i've speaking a very i've been speaking to a very dubious particular that some dubious the particular that some in the press are going with these are children who've been kidnapped the suspicion is actually these are prearranged pickups to take them away from these hotels to go to go to friends to family to do prearranged what they'd always intended to do in the construction in canada as far as whatever it might be . but the
4:15 pm
whatever it might be. but the suspicion is that most of these so—called children were not children all but are actually older teenagers or people in. their very early twenties . and their very early twenties. and that, of course, brings up the whole different argument as how do you verify these people as well to ensure that they are not going into a system that allows them foster care or supervisory care in a hotel and makes it far more difficult for. the authorities at the end of the day to, remove them from the country. exactly, mark, you very much. mark white. there are home and editor, keep your and security editor, keep your e—mails coming lots to go e—mails coming in. lots to go off this particular. do you off on this particular. do you think we have mandatory think we should have mandatory age anyone who wants age checks? anyone who wants to seek we as seek asylum here, should we as lee tory mp was lee anderson tory mp was suggesting, detain people indefinitely until we know who they why from they are and why they're from a bit more about them. i'm going to be from couple of you to be hearing from couple of you live the actually, live on the show. actually, we've some viewers who are we've got some viewers who are popp'”9 we've got some viewers who are popping thoughts popping up and giving thoughts on as, of course,
4:16 pm
on this as well as, of course, everyone been emailing that everyone been emailing in that email gb views email address there, gb views gbnews.uk. later in the gbnews.uk. and later in the show, always speaking to show, i always speaking to a mother got children, mother who's got children, school children, children who could well find themselves one day if the situation continues setting in a math class with a fully grown who's convicted of a double murder in the country. because we are no age checking people and we are frankly a soft touch gb views on gbnews.uk moving on probation officers have been accused of having blood on their hands after left a sexual predator free to stalk and kill a trainee solicitor just days after his release from prison , jordan mcsweeney prison, jordan mcsweeney sexually assaulted killed 35 year old zara allen in east london in june 20, 22. the 29 year old attackers are in their home in ilford. he was jailed for eight years last december and 28 separate convictions dating back 17 years. today the head of the probation watchdog, justin russell said should have been recalled to prison six days before the attack . if probation before the attack. if probation staff can't follow procedures

4:18 pm
they're supervising . think over they're supervising. think over 200,000 offenders. this kind of incident is thankfully very rare, but it is a and heartbreaking when it does happen. heartbreaking when it does happen . yes, lessons learned, happen. yes, lessons learned, lessons learned. lesson learned. i don't know about you, les gens, but i'm sick of lessons being learned. nothing apparently really being done about. but to shed some more light on findings, the light on the findings, the report, joined former report, i'm joined by former detective shabnam detective superintendent shabnam chaudry sharon, you very, very much . this is stuff. how on much. this is stuff. how on earth was it allowed to happen? a catalogue of failures catalogue of failures , systemic catalogue of failures, systemic failures . the fact is catalogue of failures, systemic failures. the fact is , catalogue of failures, systemic failures . the fact is , the failures. the fact is, the probation didn't join up the dots anything. you have a previous restraining order against the 21. he wasn't requested show where he was moved to. was no electronic tag placed on him which basically means of these were formed part of his report . so that allowed
4:19 pm
of his report. so that allowed him to roam freely but also those six days and crucial six days prevent even police and partners from locating him because . it took some time to because. it took some time to actually where he was by, which time it was too late . no, time it was too late. no, indeed. and it's a devastating question ask. but i've got to ask it. i mean, how many of the people do you fear like particular individual are currently roaming the streets ? currently roaming the streets? well, look, if jordan , this vile well, look, if jordan, this vile individual who has. well, look, if jordan, this vile individual who has . and allowed individual who has. and allowed been allowed to murder zahra ali brutally . i fear that will be brutally. i fear that will be others out there that are not necessarily similar but highly high harm offenders who are not placed in right grading and, therefore free to roam and commit serious against women ,
4:20 pm
commit serious against women, girls and other serious indeed and, there is really shocking footage as well of near misses it could be calls other women who . this particular chap who. this particular chap appeared to be stalking appeared to be following people, diving into shelves, getting away from him i mean there but for the grace of god this could have been of a number of been one of a number of individuals i've identified that numerous things that are wrong . numerous things that are wrong. what's the solution? how can we stop this from happening again ? stop this from happening again? well, i think the policing minister mentioned there's well, i think the policing minister mentioned there' s £155 minister mentioned there's £155 million paid for by the government . the fact is you've government. the fact is you've got to get backsides on seats in. the first instance, you've got to have the resources you've got to have the resources you've got to have the resources you've got to have the experience , got to have the experience, you've got to have the capability. you've to have people that actually understand low, medium , high risk and have low, medium, high risk and have to grade so that in those better training for probation , i'm not training for probation, i'm not an expert on them, but i have worked very closely probation sentences because i was what you
4:21 pm
would call totally multi—agency pubuc would call totally multi—agency public protection agencies, which is what he have had if he'd been graded as a high risk, high harm offender, which would have then allowed multiple agencies to work together to actually monitor his movement . actually monitor his movement. and i think there's a lack of experience , lack of resources experience, lack of resources thatis experience, lack of resources that is allowing big, kind of individuals to go out, commit some really serious, horrible offences and do and i'm concerned that there will be others out now when we look back at this guy's track record dozens of offences spanning nearly two decades. some people will say why was he even free anyway ? why was he even given anyway? why was he even given the opportunity to have probation ? i know that nobody probation? i know that nobody wants to live in a totalitarian society where anyone can be locked up for. but maybe there are some people , dare i say, are some people, dare i say, maybe john mcsweeney is one of them who showed about the case thrown away earlier on on. well,

there nothing done there has been nothing done about fact, could well about this. in fact, could well be getting worse. why . home be getting worse. not why. home and brought us and security editor brought us the story earlier on that people are unquote kidnapped from are being unquote kidnapped from margaret far as margaret his house as far as he's anyway his he's concerned anyway his understanding it is he's got understanding of it is he's got some scepticism them being some scepticism about them being kidnapped and, more like absconding, prearranged drop offs pick ups. and they offs and pick ups. and then they are lost into the aether. it's not really safety first, is it ? not really safety first, is it? gbviews@gbnews.uk sitting sunak there, moving on. has ordered ethics inquiry into former and conservative party chairman , it conservative party chairman, it seems are always tax affairs, but he might be left waiting for the outcome . number ten have the outcome. number ten have refused to set a deadline for a conclusion to be reached. former immigration minister caroline has said zahawi should has publicly said zahawi should step down party chair as the ongoing story has become a distraction for the conservative party and it could continue to cloud sunak's image as seeks to move away from the scandal heavy premiership of boris johnson . premiership of boris johnson. joining me now to get the very latest this is gb news is political reporter. so olivia it
4:29 pm
currently stands zahawi not going any way yet . not going going any way yet. not going anywhere yet . and number 10 is anywhere yet. and number 10 is sort of kick the can down the road, if you like, by this investigation into , whether it's investigation into, whether it's a hallway, it's broken. the ministerial code or not. but it is notable that rishi sunak has definitely shifted his . last definitely shifted his. last week he stood up in pmqs and defended the always tax record. now he's moved well away from that and his spokesman is saying that and his spokesman is saying that he didn't really know the ins and outs knew that in the past the teams of how he had been under investigation for his tax but didn't know what was true, what wasn't. so that begs the question, why does he not probe before appointing him probe that before appointing him as party chairman? but i think this scandal, if we can call scandal, has moved from nadhim zahawi himself and onto the prime minister because when he took office, he promised to restore integrity, accountability to public , and accountability to public, and he's actually now overseen a whole slew of sort of mini scandals, if you like, from
4:30 pm
gavin williamson, dominic raab being allegations suella braverman in the leaking. and now the team zahawi his position is just looking a little bit shaky when you just haven't had that. when you say it's now moved on to the prime minister, i suspect it really lands squarely at the door of rishi sunak because that's when you might see a bit of action. call me a sceptic, olivia. we've got pmqs tomorrow . i wonder whether pmqs tomorrow. i wonder whether or not to how he goes. not too long. pmqs that rishi sunak stand up and go. there you go, claire . i've taken action. well, claire. i've taken action. well, that could that could well be possible . but it's interesting possible. but it's interesting that sunak hasn't moved . get rid that sunak hasn't moved. get rid of him already. that sunak hasn't moved. get rid of him already . and one would of him already. and one would think that if you were going, he would have done it already. so how we might make the decision himself to but rishi himself to stand. but rishi sunak , it is quite difficult for sunak, it is quite difficult for him politically to get rid of zahawi because when rishi formed his cabinet he was very keen to close up some those divisions close up some of those divisions that opened in the that had opened in the conservative took conservative party and took on people all factions of the people from all factions of the conservative including people from all factions of the
4:31 pm
conserveknights including people from all factions of the conserveknights and|cluding people from all factions of the conserveknights and zahawi is johnson knights and zahawi is a key. johnson yeah. so losing him while boris is on manoeuvres could be difficult just i think it might have been lost in all of this actually and possibly have me this first. i mean have asked me this first. i mean how bad is this really i know that these allegations and there's inquiry. the numbers there's an inquiry. the numbers are in terms the rumoured are big in terms the rumoured 5 million quid the fine etc. but we are dealing with big numbers because it's a very very wealthy man. okay. so not like you or i, really, unless you've got some money stashed away, i don't know about course, but how bad is it? what is allegedly done here? well, we gloss the well, i think we can't gloss the magnitude of the numbers because think that sort of politically anyway, that is what is very important, because to, you know, almost everyone in the country. theidea almost everyone in the country. the idea of evading millions of pounds worth of tax is so alien that the worry that will make the conservatives look of touch. i think the question were actually asking is how bad is it in terms of you technically what it's actually. well he's saying
4:32 pm
that it's just carelessness it might turn out to have just been carelessness. technically, it sort of turn out to be okay. it might not be a breach of the ministerial code, but the way that he has responded to the whole saga . yeah. isn't a great whole saga. yeah. isn't a great look . he threatened journalists look. he threatened journalists who were looking it with legal action. he suggests that that had been smeared . the stories had been smeared. the stories that he's come up with in the last few days to explain his behaviour, mean, they could behaviour, i mean, they could all true, it's very all be true, but it's a very different ways looking at it. overall, the way he's handled the affair is pretty bad. even if it turns out that what he's doneisnt if it turns out that what he's done isn't technically that bad or . watch done isn't technically that bad or. watch this done isn't technically that bad or . watch this space, olivia. or. watch this space, olivia. thank you very, very much. let's go to that olivia utley right. you're with me. patrick christys on gb news on the competition and market authority is launching its first official probe into the housebuilding industry since 2008. find out why, next. all that coming way and much, much more blinking. on this day, people jump at news agenda. but right now, as yard

2010 to 2021.1 million homes. fewer and fewer homes being built , even fewer and fewer homes being built, even though the population has getting bigger , population has getting bigger, there is a shortage of homes patrick and this is what michael gove wrote to the cma about the competition and markets authority . he said something authority. he said something that, i believe, which is that the big volume builders are building too few homes in to deliberately keep prices high . deliberately keep prices high. we want deliver to the homes communities need where they want them, said gove. and to do that we need a market that offers a level playing field so smaller home builders get a look in not just the big developers. and he went on to say. michael gove that's why? the cma to that's why? i asked the cma to consider a study on the housebuilding market i'm housebuilding market and i'm delighted their board has confirmed will. the confirmed that they will. the government stand government will always stand up for buyers and for first time buyers and make sure recommendations by sure any recommendations made by the put into action. the cma are put into action. what's on here? somebody what's really on here? somebody senior in government as michael gove thinks, the big volume builders building more than two and a half thousand homes yet
4:40 pm
they now dominate the market. a lot of the small builders folded after the 2008 financial crisis. they lost their land they were consolidated into the big builders the house builders gove thinks the house of lords economic affairs select committee. i think lots of analysts that these big house builders they will deny are not building deliberately to building enough deliberately to pnces building enough deliberately to prices high. homes are more expensive than they to be because the homes are being drip fed onto the market, whereas the evidence for that there are over a million planning permissions that have been granted that haven't been built because they happen to be sitting off with these big firms who then don't use all of them or use them very, very slowly . and when you very, very slowly. and when you get massive demand for homes, young like you, with all respect with your partner trying to buy a home you know how difficult it is mad prices when you've got this huge demand and supply reacting to that demand get higher prices so the accusation is that the big house builders they will deny make higher by
4:41 pm
deliberately building too few . deliberately building too few. thatis deliberately building too few. that is what the cma, i hope is going to investigate . well. and going to investigate. well. and realistically, what can be done abouti realistically, what can be done about i mean, can you hold a metaphorical guns that and force them to build more houses it the planning applications where you can can incentivise. i can have you can incentivise. i wrote book home wrote this in my book home truths can them not to sell truths you can them not to sell on planning. so if you haven't used the planning permission like actually delivered the home in years you start council in two years you start council tax. if you're the house builder on even if it doesn't on home even if it doesn't exist. that's idea. exist. right. that's one idea. another you do is what's another thing you do is what's called anti trust . i mean, called anti trust. i mean, governments in the past, even in this of , deliberately this country of, deliberately force companies to break up if they've got too much market power . and the regulator thinks power. and the regulator thinks are so—called restrictive practises going again. i must stress the big house builders of listed companies law , abiding listed companies law, abiding companies, they would deny all. having said that the secretary of state michael gove has the big house builders a cartel all right which is a very loaded term again they would deny that
4:42 pm
. i would stress your honour. yes, they're here to say what they think. so i'm saying on their behalf they deny wrongdoing. the big house builders who say they have to have of planning permissions because build up because they have to build up pipeline of supply , how they pipeline of supply, how they make business run and make their business run and would i'm sure this idea of would say, i'm sure this idea of a cma inquiry into house builders the first since 2008 is misguided and wrong. well, there you go, liam. thank you very, very much. sam hung in there, economics and business editor. right. okay. so moving on from now, number 10 has vowed to implement robust age checks for asylum seekers following the fatal stabbing of a 21 year old thomas roberts at the hands of an asylum seeker posing as a child. sorry story. now, of course, i've been covering it throughout the course of this show alongside was show alongside abdul ramzan was admitted school as admitted into local school as student despite previous killing two people in serbia. i'm being refused asylum in norway . it refused asylum in norway. it raised questions about how closely actually monitor people who come into this country and whether communities are being
4:43 pm
adequately protected . joining me adequately protected. joining me now to discuss this is immigration lawyer ivan samson and the of comments at the and the head of comments at the express, . paul, i'll start express, paul. paul, i'll start with you. a lot of people i think rightly absolutely in arms about this. how on earth was this allowed to happen? people have a right to be angry that they they absolutely do . is it they they absolutely do. is it beggars belief it boggles the mind . it's beggars belief it boggles the mind. it'sjust beggars belief it boggles the mind . it's just beyond insane mind. it's just beyond insane that this guy who who is it was a double. i mean, that's something to have been blown. the hands of two other human beings with an ak 47 which then somehow to sit with young teenage british school kids and no one bat an eyelid and no one knows. it just it boggles mind. it does. and ivan, i'll throw it your way now, ivan, some an immigration lawyer with you all,
4:44 pm
maybe wider legal hat on. i've got emails in front of me here from saying how on earth from people saying how on earth we the government we see the government for allowing happen. if allowing us to fly to happen. if your was sat to next him or your kid was sat to next him or if your kid was a victim, his violent outburst in a classroom. what's it's what's worrying is that it's always crisis management this government. something government. it's when something as this goes on that as horrible as this goes on that then they come up with their plans. the thing is that the assessment of age how the government does it they get it wrong, two thirds of the time and for the last 12 months they've been talking, bringing in scientific methods . at the in scientific methods. at the moment, you have two social workers who follow the merton guidelines , who then make an guidelines, who then make an assessment report that that is looked at by the home office, and they either accept it or reject . it's always difficult reject. it's always difficult when someone's late teens, you know, just the adulthood, some time to assess somebody's age. and i don't think it's good enough just to have two people looking at somebody who who's trying to do well. it's clearly not. and the way i would i would
4:45 pm
question whether these people, the boat that crosses from because the 5:00 shadow on this lot i mean if he was 14 years old on christie on a renaldo pole i'll throw it back over to you. now, appear be rather you. now, we appear to be rather a soft touch pope . i don't know a soft touch pope. i don't know that she's the right word, but we haven't got this right at all. we've it's not 18 months that the possibility scientific methods have been being discussed is 25 years. i doing some research yesterday and this piece is going back to 2005, 2004 saying these dental x—rays are going to be brought in and on time and time again for four, i'm afraid, human rights reasons in inverted commas , they are in inverted commas, they are rejected and they have an eye. and i know robert jenrick has been saying, you know, we were going to accelerate and bring these in. i believe it when i it. it was thrown out by. the house of lords last year or
4:46 pm
2021. i think , and it's just 2021. i think, and it's just stayed in ever since. but the two most people, i think the idea of a dental x—ray being sort of a human rights abuse is insane. you know, i was at dentist just before christmas night for x—rays and i have yet seen the need call a human rights lawyer . no, no, exactly . rights lawyer. no, no, exactly. exactly. and most of them and you know, i've been i've i'll be about your way again because all my human rights i called up paul my human rights i called up paul. i rightly raises that i think people are a bit sick and tired of hearing about various different human rights. and what about human the about the human rights, the people here. people that are already here. some would lee anderson backbench an issue backbench tory mp an issue that no human no doubt we'll have human lawyers rising across lawyers up in arms rising across the land about essentially indefinitely until we indefinitely people until we find out who they and where find out who they are and where they're from your legal on they're from with your legal on again any that happening. again ivan any that happening. i it should happen. look there's no human rights objection to
4:47 pm
assessing somebody's age who we don't know how they and it's moved on from checks. there's actually a combination of blood , skin and dna swaps, and it's quite accurate when they're quite accurate when they're quite young when they get older gets accurate. but no, look, i've families do i want someone like this this roaming the streets my kids are roaming the street. i don't . and i think street. i don't. and i think it's absolutely right that until we know who these people are, we should them. that's an absolutely fair policy for the security of british. so i'm for it . i'm a security of british. so i'm for it. i'm a human rights security of british. so i'm for it . i'm a human rights lawyer, it. i'm a human rights lawyer, but i will not defend people like this individual. yeah, indeed. like this individual. yeah, indeed . and yes, it is important indeed. and yes, it is important absolutely not to tarnish our view on with the same brush at the same we can't ignore stuff like this. i'm one of the reasons why i'm so tough about it and i dare say maybe you are as well. paul you've been in the journalism game for a very long
4:48 pm
time. is that people could see this coming in my life could now and i know about you, but and i don't know about you, but i smell whiff of a i can smell the whiff of a rather scandal we're hearing today people absconding today about people absconding or going missing from margaret hotels. this to be hotels. all of this to be something that people like you and i have been claiming about. this will happen for a very long time yeah time now. we're here. yeah remember the. i remember doing a lot of work on the in 16 when that that dental x—ray thing came up again. it was it was if you remember, 2015 was was the kind of when the asylum crisis started which is now , of course, started which is now, of course, the asylum norm and yeah, of course we can see we've seen this coming for a long time and idea that they the checks tobias ellwood who's the mp for bournemouth said yesterday very quickly after the conviction the home office have lots of
4:49 pm
question to answer because how could such a danger individual slip through the net. but i think the question is, is even the net at all. i mean, this is not a guy who just of shoplifted in calais and slept through this is it a man who been convicted in a european court of a horrific, horrific double murder and, yet he just walks into britain and there were no checks on his age with no checks on his background. it just it's i'm not surprised is absolutely furious about this. if i'd been a father in that school in that i, i don't know what i'll be today but would be just horrific. it is . look, both of you, i but would be just horrific. it is. look, both of you, i think both of you need to be on the case, frankly, because i suspect things will be sorted out a lot sooner and boxing match together and get it all done. but thank you very much. that was, of course, immigration lawyer regularly channel
4:50 pm
regularly here on the channel live said i had live and some said i had a comments at express comments at the express fantastic bould well fantastic paul bould went well we're away from that we're moving away from that we're moving away from that we're away that we're veering away from that particular least a particular story for at least a little while, labour little while, because labour shadow secretary david shadow foreign secretary david lammy has laid out what a possible labour government's relationship with the eu would be. so on park care he said that they would aim for a closer cooperation with . the bloc on cooperation with. the bloc on trade, security and foreign policy in order to reconnect the uk with its allies, he said. while their as well call it a tough , honest uk so negotiating tough, honest uk so negotiating from a position of weakness one would imagine. but he also stated his on negotiating a defensive purity pacts with the european union. so what should our future relationship be with europe. joining now is denis macshane former labour mp minister europe. i'm ben harper. former brexit party mep. now denis will start with you because i am all it's by researchers who told me you were there. hey mr. lammy up close and personal. yes to him
4:51 pm
afterwards. very old friend . a afterwards. very old friend. a friend . and what do you make of friend. and what do you make of what he had to say he said very, very clearly policy is no to the single market to. the customs union to the eu reform , the 2016 union to the eu reform, the 2016 vote, a sober d people how both sides radio the brexit side want to do is silly. they made the point brexit is causing this country a lot of harm? asked the cbi chamber of commerce. anybody universities. so labour government would start talks . government would start talks. it's a very particular proposal, he suggests to eu, uk and security pact i think will be welcome can smell an eu army. dennis oh for heaven's sake. i mean there's been talk of that since . you know, before i was since. you know, before i was board , churchill called for what board, churchill called for what actually and we're still waiting for the germans won't even the jews won't send eye tags to fight the uk the russians. so yeah it's going to happen. no it
4:52 pm
was a very, a lot of other interesting ideas. some of them i this is a really difficult work out. but let's see, we are the company i'll return to you. i'm going to go now down to better for brexit. i repeat brexit policy repeat. i think people could hear you chuckling a little there, but i want one of the things that got me about david, he said, was reconnect. say, tony to uk so you're being you this what's wrong with you is this what's wrong with british politics at i minute everyone to brits. everyone seems to dislike brits. i think the analogy he used is being a diplomat at a table and having to put up with slurs and slander you know, from opposite numbers in the european union. but he's never been a diplomat. how he can do that is beyond me. but mean the issue here but i mean the issue here actually is that labour wants to take us back into the into the eu. what labour is going to do is deliver something much worse than becoming a full member of the eu. what labour, if unpack what it's saying , which the eu. what labour, if unpack what it's saying, which is to do is to take us dynamic alignment
4:53 pm
with the if not in the single then effectively adopting its laws and regulations in including on agri food . he said including on agri food. he said it absolutely explicitly on agri foods and i and the likes that i receive disappears. he's going to take us into pesco and absolutely an eu army is a real thing. it already 10,000 people in a force called frontex which if you're a beleaguered eu state, you have frontex parked on your borders, at your via the eu looking after apparently your security, but also we're going to be opted into the permanent structured cooperation which is the eu's alternative to nato . the eu's alternative to nato. and even though germany is a shadow . its former military self shadow. its former military self that you have to go back to pre—world war two to find, you know, a to go back to that analogy, even though germany is analogy, even though germany is a weak force pesco is a deeply pernicious organisation. it wishes to military research
4:54 pm
military programs, supply lines and everything else on the eu eu control. so let's not i'll come back to that . i want to get one back to that. i want to get one minute, i want to get a bit in. there is no going back to tibet. okay. about dennis, you were kind nodding, shaking your head in. berlin say, granted, i really don't know what's going on. just thought the on. well, i just thought the idea of alignment, i thought bed was going to invite me to go be his partner on strictly come dancing . let's see how the dancing. let's see how the dynamic alignment so modern world i've ever heard of world i i've ever heard of should i just alignment such such you know silliness from place alignment i think it's to understand pete very well. dennis so said are you saying you don't believe ? what bevan you don't believe? what bevan was saying is that what you're saying is no, he just did. does dennis know what that dynamic alignment do you know. dynamic alignment do you know. dynamic alignment is to been working alignment is to say been working the eu dossier think before the eu dossier i think before bed in short. but what is this bombshell ? what is it, dennis? bombshell? what is it, dennis? what dennis ? this talk of
4:55 pm
what is it, dennis? this talk of strategic autonomy , what is strategic autonomy, what is pesco? why is it that the single european what is dynamic paired is true? i am going to have to ask you to address what is dynamic alignment is what it says. it's aligning policies to which we did to stop the genocide in rwanda, to stop the genocide in rwanda, to stop the genocide in rwanda, to stop the genocide in kosovo. we're doing it again. that is not dynamic . it again. that is not dynamic. you see dynamic alignment . all you see dynamic alignment. all right. you tell us what your version of it is. the united kingdom laws made in brussels , kingdom laws made in brussels, including how those laws evolve . time we will become a rule and law taker . our laws will be made law taker. our laws will be made abroad . we won't have any abroad. we won't have any representation . and i'll come representation. and i'll come back to here. we will become vassal state under the uk , right vassal state under the uk, right back to what labour wants . back to what labour wants. right. so dennis, is that what you were that today. you heard david you say that you you both have heard two completely different things from the same look david lammy was talking
4:56 pm
about cooperation, which she wants, which everybody sensibly wants, which everybody sensibly wants what he also made clear and i don't know if ben's got the news the eu can't make laws for patrick whisper it loud. that's what i left that's what dynamic it already does it already does for northern ireland. and in order to hide the irish sea border, labour's plan and keystone ed it. he said it to rishi soon when he was in belfast last week. he said, i'll give you cover this in burlesque. he said, i'll give you cover for what you need to do. he was saying, that was do. what he was saying, that was code for saying i will i will be prepared to the entire prepared to align the entire united kingdom eu united kingdom with eu regulations northern regulations so that northern ireland doesn't stand out because northern ireland is to dynamic alignment and. it is subjugation of the united kingdom. dennis that's what you and your party wish the country to be delivered into. okay this is your point. this is boris johnson who's very direct that david frost to put the whole of
4:57 pm
ireland under the same rules so that northern irish businesses can make money after the eu. you're arguing we've got to go. you've got to go. we've to go. both of you, thank you very much. i'm being told it was a great disagree. yeah. if we're all friends. all right. all right. i'll send them . okay. right. i'll send them. okay. dennis there been a very dennis hussain there been a very just having a massive row the eu. i'll be back in a minute.

5:09 pm
been raising as a very fundamental concern for some time which is those who are coming across those , who are coming across those, who are being told that they to throw away their documentation of passports, other identify and papers, their mobile , invent papers, their mobile, invent a new name , invent a back story to new name, invent a back story to make all with the sort of the end objective of being able to be granted asylum and stay here in the uk. the other side of thatis in the uk. the other side of that is , not only does that that is, not only does that perhaps make the journey to being a for asylum easier for them , it makes it much more them, it makes it much more difficult for the authorities here to know exactly who they are. and if don't know who someone is, then clearly you don't know what potential risk that individual might pose, what the back story . and this young the back story. and this young man we know had been convicted and, his absence of a double murder , very nasty double murder murder, very nasty double murder in serbia, where he shot two people at close range with an ak
5:10 pm
47 machine gun over a people smuggling dispute there convicted his absence, also convicted his absence, also convicted of drug dealing in norway and denied asylum norway and convict ted of drug dealing in italy. but doing this under different names coming here giving a false name it's impossible really for authorities to try to get an accurate on them. that's why leandro is now saying that we need a proper detained policy until or unless we can actually determine who they are. this is what he told us. when saying from day one, anybody arriving here illegally on our shores because can't do the full background checks they be detained and detained until we formally decide who they are , formally decide who they are, where they've come from, and if they've got legitimate, legitimate claim. if not, legitimate asylum claim. if not, keep them detained in detention centres, that's not too difficult to do. okay, get your coming in on those people. gb views. gb news uk is now the time in of this absolutely sickening case of time frankly

to say if you do come over here across channel or you're claiming asylum, you be held in detention centre. when we figure out who you are and where you're from, it's not just that once there. alison about mark, the fact is they're not really being monitored because this particular chap was brazen enough. he was on social media posting pictures with knives . he posting pictures with knives. he was fighting men for money. there is no doubt that this was a very nasty individual and there should have been all kinds of alarm bells that were set with the behaviour of this young man. i mean, his foster family, because lucky by the way that. yeah, because , because he yeah, because, because he claimed to be a child , he was claimed to be a child, he was put into the foster care system . but the foster family were very worried about him because he was stealing knives from the kitchen drawer , go out carrying kitchen drawer, go out carrying not and about the streets around board bournemouth and elsewhere in dorset . this is him actually in dorset. this is him actually on the evening of march 12th, last year when the murder of
5:12 pm
thomas happened. this is his sort of whereabouts is caught on cctv camera in and about the town centre and buses shops at that point just before this this other that shows him actually in a confrontation with a group of men . and at one point he's men. and at one point he's actually seen attacking that man . well. now, this is that bit of he comes into shot with the black hoodie there. but man in the face is on a phone and that was handed out by dorset police's . an indication of what police's. an indication of what he's up to this video that he posted , tik tok showing him posted, tik tok showing him involved in street fights, which he was actually paid for as street fight, a very violent images of him punching, punching. you can see an individual on the ground there . individual on the ground there. there again, tik tok videos released by him. some of them showing knives, bragging about, you know, his big man lifestyle
5:13 pm
here , the uk and all of the time here, the uk and all of the time of being treated as a child going to school alongside setting, sitting to these schoolchildren. of course was actually a convicted double murderer . exactly. and a actually a convicted double murderer. exactly. and a bit later on this hour, i'm going to be talking to somebody who is a mother who's got children, similar age anyway to the ones that would have been in the classroom and reports are emerging parents people who emerging of parents people who claim to be parents, of people who were supposedly the school along with this particular individual , they are claiming is individual, they are claiming is supposed that this chap was involved in fights in the and was very vocal and indeed was very very vocal and indeed made this the allegation some children girls in that send him pictures which clearly if they're 14 years old and he is an adult is in itself a terrible thing those are the allegations. but when it comes to the age testing, lee anderson suggestion is detention. and i think a lot of people will think that's a sensible move . but age
5:14 pm
sensible move. but age verification tests blocked sometimes because think it's against individuals human rights to have their age scientifically checked. that must change. so the way it works at the moment, patrick, if someone turns up on the border, claims asylum and then says there are child, they are more often than not in unless it's very obvious to border force officials looking at them, they're to take best practise is from social work social services unless it's very obvious that this person a 35 year old male and not someone of 14, 15, 16, then they will air on the side of that person seeing their child believe and what happen are more sort of scientific checks to determine actually what the age of this individual is. and you're right. human rights groups lawyers say this is an infringement of the human rights , invasive tests on
5:15 pm
human rights, invasive tests on children who are fleeing war zones , potentially, etc, and the zones, potentially, etc, and the fact is, britain has a problem, because when you do look at the sheer numbers , people coming sheer numbers, people coming across every year, i think it was 46,000 last year, just under 46,000, just under 46,000 last yeah 46,000, just under 46,000 last year. and the vast majority of those or are absolutely fine , those or are absolutely fine, but it only takes a small percentage people to be a bit like this guy and. you do have hundreds of people who are a massive, massive problem and, a massive, massive problem and, a massive, massive problem and, a massive, massive threat to this country. then on top country. and then on top of that, have fact that that, you have the fact that people you're about tell us people as you're about tell us now missing asylum now are going missing asylum seeker hotels. yeah there is no doubt there are hundreds people with criminal convictions that have made it over to the uk law enforcement sources are quite clear on that issue people are coming to light when they're eventually because by and large we offend and if they get the end to the system and then it turns out there's a whole back
5:16 pm
story to them that they eventually are able to uncover and is the concern, as you say it, only a small percentage for that figure of 46,000 to actually mean hundreds of these people are criminals but don't even have to have a back story and a record as a criminal. you're coming here, you enter an system and you're doing nothing all day except hanging about with hundreds of other seekers in a hotel board to alcohol and whatever else. yeah, you know . whatever else. yeah, you know. it's clearly a potential red flag to the danger that people can get into and the harm that they can then know inflict on they can then know inflict on the community. just just quite quickly on this because i want to go to some of our viewers live on this, because at the end of the day, that the public people out on the streets are at the coalface of this crisis and people, who suffer people, frankly, who will suffer a like the aspiring a little bit like the aspiring royal marine who was tragically stabbed to death by this individual. by some
5:17 pm
individual. and i am by some of the well, the reporting. well, i'm surprised, some of surprised, actually, by some of the on this whether the reporting on this whether saying, children being saying, oh, children being kidnapped kidnap squads kidnapped there's kidnap squads going around to various different and taking these people away in your understanding that's not the full truth . no i well certainly full truth. no i well certainly not sources that i've spoken to they are dubious about these reports in some of the media to suggest that these are being kidnapped . what they believe is kidnapped. what they believe is probably happening is that these are prearranged pickups to take away who by and large may actually not be at all and may fall into the category of abdul rahim aziz and actually are individuals who are over or adults who want to not enter asylum sister system but , go off asylum sister system but, go off and walk elsewhere in, the illegal economy. mark, thank you very much as ever. mark white, though i meant security at it's it just filling you in on a case
5:18 pm
absolutely beggars belief doesn't it absolutely beggars belief this show is all about you and it's your views and as i've said never about the topic i've said never about the topic i think whenever i've done a particular story or any show i've ever done that has garnered more interaction and more traction this particular traction than this particular one i think level one showing. i think the level of there and i'm of frustration out there and i'm pleased joining me now to pleased to say joining me now to give their views on this are two gb news viewers. i've got lee and juue gb news viewers. i've got lee and julie ford , both and i've got julie ford, both from bedfordshire. they go to works way sometimes. lee, works that way sometimes. lee, i will with you. thank will start with you. thank you very much, you. by the very much, both of you. by the way. but lee, i will start with you. you're initial reaction to the guilty the fact that this chap guilty of a murder drug offences of a double murder drug offences allowed a school full of kids before . he goes on and commits before. he goes on and commits a murder. your overarching view of this, lee ? shock and horror , this, lee? shock and horror, absolutely. shock and horror . i absolutely. shock and horror. i think when we have asylum seekers come over country, there are a couple of routes that they can come over. there is a legal route where. we can come and they come for refuge camps etcetera and their background
5:19 pm
and is checked. however, in this case that doesn't appear to be what documents and what we had documents and i doubt if he did if you come into this country without documents should be detained indefinitely in some way know who you are and if that means turning some of our military barracks detention centres, so be it . you know, me centres, so be it. you know, me and my mates and our families, we lived in some these military barracks for two years, two, three years at a time. the wright brigade didn't say that that was our human rights. and i hate for us. so they'll be perfectly okay for a few weeks for people coming over without documents , for them to be documents, for them to be detained. it's good we know who they are . julie, i'll detained. it's good we know who they are .julie, i'll bring detained. it's good we know who they are . julie, i'll bring you they are. julie, i'll bring you in outside . question really, in outside. question really, what was your initial reaction , what was your initial reaction, this pretty horrific story ? this pretty horrific story? yeah, i've got to echo lee there, to be honest with you. just shock, horror. it should never have. and obviously i understand what your previous guest might want to said about. it's just really difficult to trace these people in regards to
5:20 pm
their back history. but surely as soon as they are a criminal in another country, they've fingerprints taken, they've had dna . we've got the internet dna. we've got the internet nowadays we've got things we can courier stuff across the country and across the world in minutes. why aren't we able to trace these people's it really shouldn't be that hard . and i shouldn't be that hard. and i don't think there's going to be anything that we can do immediately to the issue. i think we just to stop what we're doing and reach the system completely from how these people, get into the country . as people, get into the country. as lee has said, there are routes for them to come in and are illegal routes. and the problem is the illegal routes. people are being trained and briefed on to mess with our system and it shouldn't get like that . now, shouldn't get like that. now, look, i think you're absolutely on lee a concerning part from the whole of it's a very element to me this is how many fully grown with criminal pasts will be sitting in schools with . 14
5:21 pm
be sitting in schools with. 14 year old girls or boys, whatever right now. and lee , if nothing right now. and lee, if nothing else, is going to make people wake up and smell the coffee, surely , and say , well, even if surely, and say, well, even if it's only a handful, it's a handful. too many . and i say, if handful. too many. and i say, if you were genuine asylum seeker and you have generally come over here without documents , you'll here without documents, you'll be quite happy to be detained a few weeks. finally, it will get sorted out and we find out who you are. you'll be very happy and especially if you come from war zones. this is we're also got remember some of these guys who come from war zones. it who come in from war zones. it could be a lot of mental health issues, a and then guys a issues, a and then guys into a scope and you know there's going to be things going wrong it's going to be too late . but this going to be too late. but this is the reason why i love guiding viewers on ordinary people on because also only think anyway you politician or rule makers then on the coalface of this they might not have kids but almost definitely won't kids in the schools where these particular individuals are going to they won't riding an
5:22 pm
e—scooter down street in bournemouth while some lunatic decides that he wants to take knife. and you and julie , do you knife. and you and julie, do you feel as though your human rights are deemed less meaningful, frankly, than the human rights of some coming over here ? yeah, of some coming over here? yeah, i do actually . because at the i do actually. because at the end of the day, we're hearing all of this noise about the asylum seekers human rights. it's an invasion of the human rights for us to take blood and check their age, especially the children. what about my human rights as a british citizen to be safe my own country? surely that's right either. so whatever my defence lawyers. yeah look, both of you, thank you very, very . and i would love to speak very. and i would love to speak to you again soon, hopefully in a different circumstance as i'm sad, but thank you very, very sally julie ford both sally wept and julie ford both conveniently bedfordshire there we go some real gb viewers that you can get yourself on the telly of course you can get into us gb views gbnews.uk live details. you might a phone details. you might get a phone call one of our producers
5:23 pm
call from one of our producers here. you give your views to the nafion here. you give your views to the nation beyond, of course, because everywhere. because we're everywhere. these but patrick but you are with me. patrick christys on news. and could christys on gb news. and could we have to work until grand we all have to work until grand old age of 68? it's been reported raise the reported that plans to raise the age can start your age you can start claiming your state pension . do you of state pension. do you make of that ladies and gentlemen, i'm going and squeeze going to try and squeeze a little penny out of you and talk to we'll have the latest to that. we'll have the latest on that. don't go any. i'll partially .
5:24 pm
5:25 pm
okay. welcome everybody. right now, a shift away from the we've been talking about so far. we're going to move it a little bit because suppose plans to raise retirement age to 68 have been greeted sceptically by backbench mps. that mps. many warn that the government playing with fire government is playing with fire over proposals raise the over proposals to raise the retirement age to 68 by 2035. how would you feel about now, ladies and gentlemen? you know ,
5:26 pm
ladies and gentlemen? you know, might be winding up to retirement yourself. 68 it will be supposing for might be able to get your state pension in a move that would save the uk treasury billions and this is what it's about isn't it they can you all a low can cream you all to a low that's for as long as possible anyway, economic anyway, with economic difficulties and an ageing population however, is it the right time raise the right time to raise the retirement age? people are saying, on minute, saying, well, hang on a minute, the expectancy rate isn't the lying expectancy rate isn't increasing rate as the increasing at the rate as the working age. becky o'connor joins director of joins me now, director of affairs pension bay. becky, affairs at pension bay. becky, thank you very much . affairs at pension bay. becky, thank you very much. is this forgive but a little bit mean on making them work till 68 years old often go near enjoying retirement putting your feet up . it seems like that's a thing in the distant past doesn't it i think what we really need to be looking at when we think of what is it appropriate to retire is how long we're going to be healthy, full health and also personal pension savings if we want retire earlier than the state pension. so when age are so key and healthy life
5:27 pm
so key and a healthy life expectancy age really hasn't changed very much at all over the recent years. it's 63 so that's the age at which people can expect to live without experience . health problems that experience. health problems that might their work and really the state pension should be that when people are unable to work anymore because of age health issues. so yes, i think the increasing the state pension to 68 and bringing forward that to potentially to 2035, we won't know until probably around march budget whether the government does to bring it forward to that extent . but yeah, it does extent. but yeah, it does particularly given life expectancy also not increasing and is actually falling in some parts of the country to be a little unfair? yes i mean, look, i every day i'm not just saying this, i feel incredibly to do what i do. i think a lot people would view this as not work myself. one of them i thoroughly enjoy what i do and i fully intend to be be a fossil at the time that i retire, someone will
5:28 pm
have to hook me off. okay, but for a lot of people work involves is manual labour for example you can't realistically expect poor old 67 year old gary to be going back down the pit that he's kind of you. i mean it is bonkers and the state pension forgive i mean it isn't even that good to begin with is it. well it really depends how many qualifying have if you qualifying you have so if you work for 35 years and you get the full state pension, the new state pension, now that's just shy o state pension, now that's just shy 0 now it's shy of £10,000 a year. now it's actually up than 10,000 actually going up to than 10,000 in april. so it's actually not enough , a basic living standard enough, a basic living standard in retirement according to the pensions and lifetime savings , pensions and lifetime savings, you private pension you do need private pension savings on top. now of course, what increasing the age means if you still want to retire earlier , you're going to need more private pensions savings in order to do so because you're going to need to replace what you on the state you would have had on the state pension your savings you would have had on the state pensi(we your savings you would have had on the state pensi(we know your savings you would have had on the state pensi(we know through savings you would have had on the state pensi(we know through autoivings . and we know through auto enrolment have workplace enrolment we have workplace pensions that's great. pensions and that's great. there's an 8% minimum contribution and the government
5:29 pm
is now to is under pressure now to increase that and would increase that too. and i would suggest that increase age suggest if that increase the age to they would need to to 68, they would need to increase the amount people are able get employer able pay in get employer contributions and tax to contributions and tax relief to fill that gap . and they fill that gap. and they haven't said about that , said anything about that, unfortunately. you . well, unfortunately. now you. well, becky, thank you very, very much sharing much needed sharing. a lot of much needed light that particular story light on that particular story there. o'connor, director there. becky o'connor, director of public at pension bay of public affairs at pension bay trust outlining this trust outlining how does this affect oh ladies and affect you? oh ladies and gentlemen, you might working gentlemen, you might be working or not getting your state pension the age is pension until the age of 68. is that fair? is not fair. you're with me. patrick christys on. i'm coming up. i tell you all i've well, a jam pots half i've got. well, a jam pots half hour i'd better cracking hour i'd better get cracking with because downing with it really because downing street no or street is said there's no or dates when the ethics into dates for when the ethics into the teams of highways affairs should be completed by themselves a lot of time that but the ought be carried out but the ought to be carried out quotes swiftly. well see quotes swiftly. well we'll see about that and yes more on an asylum seeker convicted of a double murder who posed as a 14 year old boy to enter the kingdom. i've got security on

5:34 pm
okay. let's just close the clock
5:35 pm
to in the next 25 minutes also to in the next 25 minutes also to make sure you don't long have you been getting in touch with. your thoughts on the asylum seeker proposals year old boy was allowed classrooms with was allowed into classrooms with innocent before innocent children before murdering bournemouth. murdering a man in bournemouth. soon says this not soon says this is not surprising. it was a matter of time before someone killed . time before someone was killed. i for the family of i just feel for the family of the murdered young yeah, the murdered young man. yeah, absolutely. 100. also absolutely. 100. i also feel deeply. deeply for the parents of any child . had to sit in the of any child. had to sit in the same classroom as this chop. shocking reports coming out from paris. claim be well, paris. you claim to be well, paris. you claim to be well, paris the kids in this class paris of the kids in this class as well, saying that girls and there will be girls because they'll underage will be they'll be underage will be around years old supposedly around 14 years old supposedly being pictures to being and sending pictures to this particular man it's shocking stuff alison says an asylum claiming to be a child was placed a secondary school in my hometown a while ago and only one pupils raised concerns with parents. he disappeared it was blatantly obvious he was a fully grown man. yeah, exactly. why is there a man with beard and your 14 year old son or daughter's
5:36 pm
maths class shocking stuff. maths class is shocking stuff. why the human those why are the human rights those kids? not being able kids? why are we not being able to age test these people as a point of necessity? really as soon as they get here sticking with us? so we number 10 as vowed to implement robust age checks for asylum seekers following the fatal of that 21 year old thomas roberts at his spine royal marine. by the way, the hands of this particular asylum seeker. lauer and jeanne abdul who did basically abdul ramzi, who did basically a double murder in a different country, had prosecutions for drug dealing, etc. rejected by norway. but course plastic was allowed to come in and to foster care and a school. hey, despite of course, all of those previous convictions, joining now is conservative mp and commons defence committee chair tobias ellwood. thank you very much, tobias is calling for a home office probe into case. yeah, absolutely people though tobias i think are sick and tired of lessons learned . we've been lessons learned. we've been shouting about this for a very long time. this was a matter of time and series concerns. it's only a matter of time for
5:37 pm
happens again . yes. and that's happens again. yes. and that's the big that we now face. i mean , i think it's always important . start with the person, the victim . and . start with the person, the victim .and i'm pleased . start with the person, the victim . and i'm pleased you victim. and i'm pleased you mentioned that tom roberts was aspiring to be a royal, wanting to serve his country. in fact, it's in that spirit that he forward to try and calm down an argument between his friend james medway and abdul rahim. as i you know, i've got huge affinity for . anybody that steps affinity for. anybody that steps in, you know, that tries to calm situations down. i'm an interventionist myself , but interventionist myself, but things clearly spiralled terribly out of control and we're now left learning. so much more about this individual, wondering why so many red flags came up. but were missed. and i think you've listed them very well indeed. this individual has beenin well indeed. this individual has been in two other european countries where he's got records
5:38 pm
is it was denied by norway as well. and then also threatened in this country. he threatened his foster carer and again, should have been a red flag. but the big one is and you touched in a very beginning, how can we confirm the age of any individual whether they're going to be an asylum seeker or not? they're all cleverer ways of doing that with x rays looking at teeth and things like that. if somebody clearly lying about their and it's an investigation now determine what went wrong , i now determine what went wrong, i raised this in parliament today. we had a debate this matter and i was glad to get the assurances from minister robert jenrick that. from minister robert jenrick that . this is exactly what he is that. this is exactly what he is now going to do to go away . as now going to do to go away. as you rightly highlight. now going to do to go away. as you rightly highlight . you know, you rightly highlight. you know, could this happen again ? well, could this happen again? well, indeed. and we are hearing increasing reports of people absconding or being taken depending on which angle you particularly want to take on
5:39 pm
that from asylum seeker hotels concerns naturally for people about where they end up and what their are. tobias one their intentions are. tobias one of your colleagues in lee anderson , did say that he was in anderson, did say that he was in support of people being detained if you come over here across the channel if you come over here across the channel, for example, them, until we can find out who they are and why that from. would you support that? well, there needs to process. i think to be a robust process. i think this one of the big this is one of the big commitments that the prime minister has to get this. minister has made to get this. right. just to put this right. i mean, just to put this into context and this is no way justifying it , it's into context and this is no way justifying it, it's flagging out perhaps the backdrop to which we're dealing with this . you we're dealing with this. you know, we decided wrongly in my view to turn our backs on afghanistan. we then i think correctly then , you know, opened correctly then, you know, opened our doors to genuine seekers who be pursued by the taliban. and in this individual's is understood that he lost his and then was beaten up by the taliban as well . and you can taliban as well. and you can understand think that individuals youngsters who are
5:40 pm
exposed to the horrors of war becoming and understand the differences between right and wrong . and if they're not wrong. and if they're not addressed , then they can become addressed, then they can become addressed, then they can become a danger to society, which is clearly what's happened here and what's falling apart is the fact that there isn't this robust process now, you know, detention centres. so what i'm more concerned is what happens to when individuals will come forward, how are they scrutinised , checked to make scrutinised, checked to make sure their age is verified but most importantly if they're coming here with a criminal record that we should know about it now without opening up the brexit debate. when we departed the eu, we lost sight of some of those key criminal . so i'm those key criminal. so i'm supportive of you know where we are today but i do believe we need to have access to those databases. it would have been helpful to know what the hauans helpful to know what the italians what the serbians, what the norwegians were thinking, what their databases that what was on their databases that could helped things could have helped things here in the uk. to be honest, you
5:41 pm
the uk. yeah, to be honest, you this just seems like a completely mutually beneficial thing to done anyway, regardless of being in or out of european union. i've never quite managed to get my head around. why pubuc to get my head around. why public safety and. the safety of individuals are particular 21 year old aspiring royal marines be jeopardised as a result of people wanting take back people wanting to take back control own laws on control of their own laws on money surely there should be joint databases still that can protect people because it can work both ways very easily. and i'm pretty sure the italians or whoever would to share whoever would want us to share information able to share information be able to share information with them. this particular going the particular chap was going the other way. it is astonishing though for me that these people are and, that children are schools and, that children are schools and, that children are potentially exposed. this kind of system rather nasty stories coming out anyway , stories coming out anyway, allegedly from parents who was saying that their daughters were threatened due to sending pictures . this particular chap pictures. this particular chap is any way of us knowing how many of these people currently how many adults are currently in schools with children at the
5:42 pm
moment we don't know. i think there's some lessons to be learned, which is exactly why i flagged this up today, if i may just go back to your point, i think there a quid pro quo there with, the the european with, the with the european union with, the continent. bear in mind, we have m15 and m16 in mind, we have an m15 and m16 we have some of the best agencies in the world with some of the best police force capabilities as well. so there's a mutual benefit, as you rightly point out , to make sure that our point out, to make sure that our world is safe when there's such huge movements of from not just across europe, but wider field as well . but you ask another as well. but you ask another pertinent question . i hope the pertinent question. i hope the home office will register and recognise is how many others are in this similar situation. on pretending to be all the different aged and getting away with it . mhm. different aged and getting away with it. mhm. yeah, different aged and getting away with it . mhm. yeah, well different aged and getting away with it. mhm. yeah, well this is a surprise up with, you know, all kind of sad news is that because no one does not said point. right we need try as if when you try and find out i'm
5:43 pm
sorry about this kind ask you one quick question about the themes of how your views on where he's at at the minute. should at the should he step aside at the moment do you think or should we just let investigation just let this investigation run its well, i think now its course? well, i think now that we've got this investigation going, then i think to do anything otherwise would , know, be would would, you know, would be would be difficult. it would mean labour would have sort of won from that respect if it should have gone, i think to an ethics adviser, the prime minister sort of sitting across the table. clearly it was gaining headlines. the fact that you're now today on top now asking me this today on top of the other issues could of all the other issues we could be discussing, starts be discussing, it starts to distract. , you know distract. so, yes, you know nadhim zahawi i'll say is a very close friend mine. he came across this country with nothing, you know, with his parents, built up a formidable business is issues as is did anybody's all that personal matter if were made it needs and should be investigated and declared . that is now for the declared. that is now for the ethics to do so and that's in the best place for them to
5:44 pm
continue. you and i don't know the details that so let's wait to see that comes the outcome is tobias thank you very much as i bet tobias out there of was consulted on commons defence committee chair. right. well look we're sticking with this story but we're going a different angle to it now. we've mentioned the fact that these individuals, we do not know and you heard it there straight away, from the horse's away, straight from the horse's mouth, were. currently mouth, as it were. we currently in have absolutely in this country have absolutely no men as no idea how many men posing as children are in schools with children are in schools with children . and that is a children. and that is a devastating state of affairs. and apparently it would be quite easy to do because the vast majority of people who come over here who claim be children are just essentially believed because the human rights brigade get involved and, say, well, it will be because the human rights, going any rights, it's going to do any kind of real, proper forensic age checks. meanwhile all children the of this children and in the case of this particular earlier particular that we saw earlier on parents of children who were in his class , bear in mind, he in his class, bear in mind, he was already a double murder by
5:45 pm
the time he's in this class, all coming out and saying that they believe that some of their daughters were forced into or certainly coerced sending certainly coerced into sending pictures and is pictures to him. and that is shocking isn't i'm joined shocking, isn't it? i'm joined now leader of ukip now by deputy leader of ukip rebecca and rebecca, thank rebecca jane. and rebecca, thank you joining me. you very much for joining me. now, mother. does a now, you're a mother. does a case like this worry you considering man was considering that this man was allowed be in a classroom allowed to be in a classroom alongside? young children don't want to personalise it too much . i mean, it could be your kids going, too. yeah, absolutely . going, too. yeah, absolutely. actually, it could be any one of our children. i do have a 16 year old and i do have a ten year old and i do have a ten year old. and we have look at the basic facts here. so you obviously you're questioning how many are actually posing as children starting on a classroom. so what i can tell you is that 2020, there 54% you is that in 2020, there 54% of lone child asylum claims that actually turned out to be adults . now, today, in 2022, over seven, 80% of lone child asylum claims are actually and that's
5:46 pm
because we don't have the checks like other countries you know we've got france greece , norway we've got france greece, norway they've all got x ray facial recognition. what we have and the checks that we do , they come the checks that we do, they come here is that we sit them down, a social worker and give them a lovely of tea and ask them how old they, even if that worker thinks that they are 24 years old, they give them a clear entry into the system faster , entry into the system faster, processing faster housing, more money, and they have believe them even if they think they're 24 years old, they still then them into classrooms with our children . it is astonishing now children. it is astonishing now isn't it and rebecca i there are people out there right whether it's children older those children who saying there is a fully grown man in my 14 year old math class and they're probably told by the white brigade. oh no . can't possibly brigade. oh no. can't possibly say that this person playing war and persecution. rebecca well , and persecution. rebecca well, patrick and the deputy leader of ukip absolutely not going have
5:47 pm
that sense. i a duty to protect my children i have a duty to protect the children of this country. you you can talk about a human rights all you want, but unfortunately uk is a sinking boat. unfortunately uk is a sinking boat . we have to do something to boat. we have to do something to stop ourselves. and right now . stop ourselves. and right now. we don't have the facilities, the resource and the capacity to start looking after people from other countries. we a block on all claims for at least the next five years the government. this is not a new problem . let's is not a new problem. let's start with that fact. a because in 2017, one of the london sheep bombers was actually a lone child claim and he actually turned to be an adult. we've had this since 2017. what on earth and the government have been doing in all time. yeah look, rebecca, thank you very, very much. and you know, it's interesting to have you on the show get take on things and show and get take on things and at floating some solutions at least floating some solutions , whether people agree with them or with because or disagree with them, because think long period of think for a very long period of time, there's just a house that
5:48 pm
was devastated over there. was devastated over ukip there. rebecca very, very rebecca james, you very, very much right . we're rebecca james, you very, very much right. we're moving much right. well, we're moving away story . the reason away from that story. the reason i want to do lot on it is i want to do a lot on it is because, by way, i think because, by the way, i think he's very serious. and the thousands of literally thousands who've on who've been getting in touch on the course of this the over the course of this show. will away, show. but we will move away, which see that remains which you see that remains pressure over his knowledge or lack it about themes of how lack of it about themes of how these affairs and the prime these tax affairs and the prime minister and ethics minister has ordered and ethics inquiry after the former chancellor this chancellor the headlines this week emerged that he week after it emerged that he paid a fine to taxes with paid a fine to settle taxes with hmrc labour are firmly calling for his resignation from the front bench. but so far attack is still by the conservative party chairman. let's discuss this now with gb news is political reporter olivia utley . have you always don't move at the minute? no, he's not moving for now. but there is definitely a shift in the language coming out of number 10. last week, of course, saw rishi sunak stand up and publicly defend zahawi and now defence coming out of number 10 is that rishi sunak wasn't quite sure what the situation
5:49 pm
was with his affairs, so he did know there had been a preview allegations and that they had been looked into. but he was told by the cabinet office that they'd been resolved and that he was okay to, hire him. obviously this begs question, why did he not probe little bit further? not probe a little bit further? and i think, know the story and i think, you know the story is sort of moved way at it is now sort of moved way at it from hallway, who become from the hallway, who has become a distraction and onto a bit of a distraction and onto rishi sunak because it does feel a bit like he's got previous here there he came into office promising integrity and accountability and he's had these sort of slew of mini scandals and hasn't decisively in any case is it a bit. yeah. yeah is it a bit unfair rishi sunakin yeah is it a bit unfair rishi sunak in the sense the themes are always tax affairs . rishi are always tax affairs. rishi said that wouldn't necessarily aware of all of that. he may well have been. we don't know. we'll have to wait and see now it seems to be the kind of exhaust of the previous regime and one before that. and he inherited a lot of chaos and.
5:50 pm
no, this is being london time. he did. he wanted honesty and integrity. said, think integrity. he said, do you think he have acted more he should have acted more decisively quicker? is the decisively and quicker? is the labour angle to this ? i think labour angle to this? i think that there are conservative backbenchers who who certainly feel that it might come to feel that that it might come to light, that in addition to how he didn't write ministerial code, that what he did was just about the of about within the realms of acceptability politically acceptability. but politically it really isn't a good look and. it's perhaps a more experienced prime minister. remember, it wasn't even elected very long ago. he hasn't been on the frontbench very long at all. someone a bit more of someone with a bit more kind of political intuition nous political intuition and nous might well, it might have thought, well, it doesn't what the doesn't matter what the technicalities of all. rishi sunak very interested in sunak is very interested in technicalities, it doesn't really it's the really matter. it's the politics. it's about the fact this man has for whatever reason, evaded millions in tax concept, which is just alien to such a well. it is absolutely it is. and makes the conservatives look out of touch. that is what i'm hearing from from some backbenchers . james always still backbenchers. james always still has his still has his friends. the fact is there will be
5:51 pm
millions of people right now, this moment in time, looking at the selfless tax forms or getting in touch with the tax man, it's such and the numbers in question have really leaves are we'll be way out of touch for vast majority of people at the same time mean they want to persecute an individual for doing a fabulously well for themselves. and when you are deaung themselves. and when you are dealing such large numbers dealing with such large numbers as see is every as leaves are we see is every single time he opens his bank account then yes alright 5 billion quid is still lot billion quid is still a lot money. is tomorrow you and money. pmqs is tomorrow you and i will no doubt be discussing all tomorrow. what do all of this tomorrow. what do you go off? will you expect storm to go off? will it well labour's been a bit it be? well labour's been a bit slow to on it so far. they slow to react on it so far. they haven't dug the knife, but i haven't yet dug the knife, but i am that is what keir am assuming that is what keir starmer is going to major on in pmqs. we have pmqs. sorry, but we have seen before starmer take a sort before keir starmer take a sort of left field approach and, go on something which rishi sunak isn't would isn't expecting, but it would that would be mad to avoid that he would be mad to avoid this. it's quite clearly an open, open goal. open goal, open, open goal. an open goal, yes. he smashes over bar yes. if he smashes over the bar or , maybe depending on your
5:52 pm
or, maybe depending on your political leanings, he political leanings, hopefully he does. very, very much. does. thank you very, very much. olivia is very olivia utley the gb news is very political reports that it's not time already this show has flown by, not least because of you wonderful people, by the way. and so everyone and thank you so much, everyone has touch, but has been getting in touch, but is dewbs& co and she's a hello hello you i'll hello i you show i'll be carrying on conversation had carrying on a conversation had you on with earlier about you crack on with earlier about the 200 missing circle of children that have been seeking where have they gone? who are they? how concerned should we be and whose fault is all of this? and i want have we fix all of this mess ? also 70% of hospital this mess? also 70% of hospital trusts apparently have some form of restrictions in still about this is the whole covid thing i think that's ludicrous but people might say it's just basic common so fascinating to get people's thoughts on that. also schools who should get the final say in what kids are taught particularly when it comes to things like , you know, like the things like, you know, like the whole gender and relationships and sex education, should it be the parents or should it be teachers? what also, i got for
