3:14 pm
which i think we can all agree or probably hope doesn't get. but joining me now , emma kay, but joining me now, emma kay, she's a founder of walk safe and it's a company which has developed that allows developed an app that allows people walking to plot that route through safe zones by bringing crime data, bringing police crime data, community reported data and soon tv together. but she's also been on a panel discussing in the met police . emma, thank you very, police. emma, thank you very, very much . it's great to have very much. it's great to have you on the show. i am sick and tired of reporting on a merry round of misery at the met where every single week it seems marc rowley is wheeled out in front of press. look, i'm very of the press. go. look, i'm very sorry about this. it sorry about of this. look, it looks really and we're going to try and increase trust and yet again, here we are. this is staggering . do you make of that staggering. do you make of that sentencing today .7 30 years men sentencing today? 30 years men should just read life sentencing. i mean, are not we all what we all want to hear and read? i agree with. you i'm kind of just sick of being told to flock down a bus that the commissioner mind his commissioner doesn't mind his daughter walking like
3:15 pm
daughter walking home like tonight or that just sorry tonight or that we're just sorry that we didn't act sooner the. vetting procedures were not in place . i mean, the fact that place. i mean, the fact that someone's under investigation , someone's under investigation, then they are not immediately suspended that continually within the job and we wonder why we're just this dystopian nightmare . like nothing's nightmare. like nothing's changing and it just feels like these whole victims, i mean, the strength of bravery that they have shown to get character , you have shown to get character, you know, to see some justice, i just want to honour them today because they are just brave and they go and they go, oh, well, right. well, it didn't warrant whole life tariff of the reason for that was while he pled guilty. he pled guilty because he was absolutely and utterly bound to right. and were so many charges against him. and the only would ever see the only way he would ever see the light day again, albeit at 78 years old at the earliest was if he pled guilty in case he's such as this surely pleading guilty it matter jot . i mean ithe
3:16 pm
it matter a jot. i mean i the stories and the things that he did to victims chaining them all make them clean his house putting firearms their heads. i mean this isn't just a sexual harassment case 24 rapes. i mean, it just utterly horrendous the lasting damage that he has done to those victims and that why even say it victims we might not even know of right now . i not even know of right now. i mean his horrific offences have gone on such a long period of time. he deserves life. i think we need to hear that from , you we need to hear that from, you know, from everyone right now. look hammer as well . know, from everyone right now. look hammer as well. i know, from everyone right now. look hammer as well . i don't look hammer as well. i don't want to put too fine a point on this, but someone as completely and utterly second twisted as this depraved individual, the fact is he obviously have the sick, twisted memories of he's done for the rest of his life and be able to replay them in any way he sees fit . 30 year any way he sees fit. 30 year sentence is compared to what the victims are going to have to go through. they have got a full
3:17 pm
life sentence. can you talk to me a little about this that you've created upon me is really glad that you've done it. and it's a great thing that it exists. it'sjust it's a great thing that it exists. it's just a shame that it has to, isn't it? but what is it has to, isn't it? but what is it a 100? and you know we always say in an ideal world we, wish you didn't have to exist. but we are here to support everyone. ultimate we are free personal safety that a suite of safety that has a suite of digital tools to help people to stay safer and make safer decisions. when the balance following that in this case of nick clegg, we still don't know what has happened to her. we recently got a new follow me feature. you can be followed in real time should anything happen. a last known location gets sent a loved a gets sent a loved one with a huge emphasis businesses at huge emphasis on businesses at the safer spaces the moment create safer spaces to actually do the relevant to, actually do the relevant training anti spiking or training like anti spiking or for angela and we're just for angela and we're really just trying encourage people to trying to encourage people to put the agenda for put safety the agenda for absolutely everyone yeah absolutely everyone yeah absolutely . thank you very much absolutely. thank you very much for coming on the show and hopefully people have got something out this that appears

3:19 pm
the box red wall mp lee anderson is his deputy. he's certainly a sopping wet remainer is a sunak has also broken up the department for business, energy and strategy , creating three new and strategy, creating three new cabinet roles in the process . cabinet roles in the process. but it seems he's sweeping come out cost because the liberal democrats remember them have claimed that they could have a price tag of claimed that they could have a price tag 0 f £6 million and the price tag of £6 million and the cost of setting up a department of the big departments has raised eyebrows by the way, it's now have minister now we have a minister for energy security and net zero. people are saying that those are incompatible. but let's speak to our political editor, darren mccaffrey, westminster mccaffrey, who is in westminster darren. i remember not so long ago , you and i, you were glued ago, you and i, you were glued to the steps of downing street as rishi announced his first cabinet. now not cabinet. now well, not all change, lot change. change, but quite a lot change. what's going on? yeah. and in some ways, actually, it's more change around departments or structures and the structures within government, the really the personal life. in fact, what's most interesting about today that no one's been today is that no one's been sacked . rishi sunak's job sacked. rishi sunak's job creation. or moving
3:20 pm
creation. if like or moving shuffling people around . what is shuffling people around. what is also is that dominic raab, the current justice secretary and, deputy prime minister, remains in post much speculation about his future given that inquiry. but it's clear that rishi sunak wants to hold on to him until that inquiry wraps up. when we find out, of course , allegations find out, of course, allegations of bullying. dominic raab is always denied. let's look at always denied. but let's look at what the prime minister has announced first of all, announced today. first of all, greg hands safe pair of hands. greg hands a safe pair of hands. if one likes minister has if one likes like minister has moved to be the chairman of the conservative party taking over from the team a hallway. i think in many ways he's quite a conservative move you like in the sense that been around the sense that he's been around for a long time. he seems quite particularly as a campaigner, but like he's have any but also not like he's have any skeletons corner. but my skeletons in the corner. but my what? he's got an uphill task, doesn't , ahead of the local doesn't he, ahead of the local elections, the general election next year. interesting, too, that kemi badenoch has had departmental reach massively wide, not just looking now at
3:21 pm
trade business as well. and as you say, crunch shops taking over this new department the department of energy , energy, department of energy, energy, security and net zero interesting for two reasons. first of all it's reprise in a department that did exist under david cameron, the department energy, but also includes mr. zero one, a real i think to the party in the country that it's not going to step away from that target of trying to get the country down to net zero by the middle of the. there's also been a whole raft , it must be middle of the. there's also been a whole raft, it must be said, of junior ministerial and appointments today as well, including, as you said , that red including, as you said, that red wall tory becoming a the deputy conservator of leader and you've got in some ways is a yin and yang you've got a blue wall conservative as leader or as chairman of the party, and you've got lee anderson as deputy all, all, though. yeah, you're right. i mean , this going you're right. i mean, this going to achieve is it going to make the government more effective? is to about some
3:22 pm
is it going to bring about some type efficiency? it certainly type of efficiency? it certainly sends a signal about where the prime wants focus prime minister wants his focus to whether that is on to be on whether that is on energy on for energy or, on science, for example . but many would suggest example. but many would suggest this is going to mean mass reorganisation here in whitehall that takes months in itself and it's not entirely clear it's going to achieve very much . all going to achieve very much. all in all, though, the one notable thing is it seems to have gone rather smoothly today and an awful people even within awful of people knew even within government this was going to happen yesterday. it's all happened and happened this morning. and as far there's not that far as can see, there's not that many complain , though. the one many complain, though. the one senior mp did say senior conservative mp did say to don't mention titanic and to me, don't mention titanic and deckchairs yes and thank you very much, darren mccaffrey there are political elites from westminster. i suppose one way to avoid the kind of mass and no, i'm not going . and all of no, i'm not going. and all of these rules happen if he just these rules happen is if he just does anyone, i suppose does sack anyone, i suppose anyway, with me. patrick anyway, you're with me. patrick christys gb news coming up, christys own gb news coming up, we will going live to a press we will be going live to a press conference and search for conference and the search for the mum. nicola lee, the missing mum. nicola lee, who disappeared. days ago

3:26 pm
3:27 pm
burley, i'm also after not going to be speaking to the man who currently charged anyway. we the river that in lancashire so stay tuned for that but just before that foreign secretary has confirmed in last hour three british nationals are missing following the earthquakes which struck turkey and syria. turkey's president erdogan has also declared a three month state of emergency . ten of the state of emergency. ten of the country's provinces to quake struck yesterday and took place 9 hours apart, measuring at 7.8 in turkey and 7.5 in syria on the richter scale . meanwhile, the richter scale. meanwhile, a third tremor struck today, measuring 5.7, approximately 5000 people have died so far , 5000 people have died so far, around 20,000 injured. that number is expected to rise. some reports that the death toll could itself as high as. could itself be as high as. 20,000 neighbouring syria are reeling. of course two consecutive earthquakes. the region's strongest in nearly a century, devastating huge swathes of territory for and those of you watching on tv, you can see young boy now being
3:28 pm
pulled from the rubble in northern syria. international aid effort increasing and the uk is sending search and rescue teams to the area . the us and teams to the area. the us and south korea are sending aid with international appeals for help taking place. joining me is aziz hussain , the ceo of k2 welfare , hussain, the ceo of k2 welfare, an islamic charity that focuses on emergent relief and aid for those in need. and they currently have a hospital set up in the province of idlib where they are treating patients . you they are treating patients. you very much for joining they are treating patients. you very much forjoining me. i mean, it's just absolute devastating, isn't it? what's it like where you are . so i've just like where you are. so i've just firstly thank you for having me on. patrick yes, i've just got off the phone a few ago from our team in syria, our hospital, the who the hospital is based in northern syria, idlib province. as you've mentioned. and the reason that the recent figures that over 1700 people have been treated the hospital over the last two days the day and a
3:29 pm
since the earthquake struck and yesterday hundreds more are waiting in the corridors to be treated. the hospitals are capacity means we are overwhelmed. so medical supplies and medical aid is very, very short on the massive that i've literally just gotten now whilst . i was waiting to come on a is that , you know, major . i was waiting to come on a is that, you know, major medical medicine is required because people are just going to die they don't have access to such many complex medical medical aid. and right now so the situation is quite dire. yeah sorry to clarify you are actually based in yorkshire yourself are you. and of course the charities that you work has got people on the ground for people again watching on television. they'll able to television. they'll be able to see images of a rescue see live images now of a rescue taking place in. turkey, the death toll the moment stands at around 5000, expected to potentially rise to as high as 20,000. d0 potentially rise to as high as 20,000. do you think that looks realistic ? so the world health
3:30 pm
realistic? so the world health organisation estimated this morning that it will rise up to 20,000. our own estimates are that fortunately it's looking very likely it certainly surpassed the 10,000 mark in the next day or two days. many, many buildings mean in tokyo alone in turkey , over 15,000 buildings, turkey, over 15,000 buildings, according to our estimates, have been destroyed. and these are not single storey double storey houses. but six, seven, eight story buildings and flats where, you know, people hundreds people live in second. it happened 4 am. in the morning. so a lot people were sleeping at that time . and unfortunately, once time. and unfortunately, once the rubble starts to get cleared, i that death toll is looking very likely slightly. yeah absolutely. it incredibly terrible situation over there is in i've seen as i'm sure a lot of our viewers and listeners have as well rather harrowing footage of newborn babies, for example, being pulled out . the example, being pulled out. the story of a lady who actually into labour as the earthquake initially struck. and sadly, she
3:31 pm
believed to have passed away. the baby is, we understand, has been rescued . when people hear been rescued. when people hear stories like that, course it stories like that, of course it really at home to them really hammers at home to them and doubt that people and i'm got no doubt that people will be desperate to try to help and donate money. can they get in with guys and do in touch with you guys and do what can? frankly to help what they can? frankly to help in this effort? i mean, in this relief effort? i mean, just i can just take a minute just if i can just take a minute and describe a young girl was brought hospital brought into the hospital recently, doesn't know who her parents. some of the rescue teams had gone in rescued her came within internal bleeding came in within internal bleeding and has been treated now looked after by our hospital staff and unfortunately these stories are ever so common and are becoming uncommon in terms of helping us get you well fed , talking to our get you well fed, talking to our website, all the information on there, we're currently appealing emergency medical donations from agency medical, but they said the hospital is overrun . the hospital is overrun. suppues the hospital is overrun. supplies are very, very short and donations are required in order to be able to treat the hundreds of people are waiting right now in our hospital in the corridors actually, our actually
3:32 pm
unit is to capacity. we're having people waiting mri scanners are all capacity just waiting for people come in and be able to have that facility, you know , can you imagine we you know, can you imagine we were having an issue here in the uk, but in syria where our hospital is, there's not another one for another 25 kilometres. and so people and we're very close to the epicentre in of the damage that's been caused within within syria . and so the demand within syria. and so the demand is just so great. it's heartbreaking , the mind boggles heartbreaking, the mind boggles and of course the infrastructure over that clearly sadly not built to withstand anything like the scale of the earthquakes that we've seen and indeed the aftershocks that we've seen as well as these. thank you very much for. coming on, sharing their stories and we can manage to few your way as . well to get a few your way as. well as saying that the ceo of as you saying that the ceo of welfare that's as katy well fed .org if you've watched that been moved want to do what you moved it i want to do what you can to donate doctors total again expected and said it was
3:33 pm
quite realistic. i expectation as well to rise to around the 20,000 mark really staggering humanitarian incident taking place in turkey and syria and for what it's worth as well, three brits, at least three brits confirmed missing over there. now, look, go with me, patrick christys on gb news. coming up, we'll be going live shortly to a press conference in the the missing mum, the search for the missing mum, nicola disappeared nicola bailey disappeared 11 days going to days ago and that i'm going to be again live the be speaking again live with the man with searching the man tasked with searching the river to try to find carly. mysterious case, isn't it? but first, the latest news headlines . good afternoon. it's 333 i'm tamsin roberts in the gb news from rishi sunak has revealed his new cabinet following a reshuffle this morning was creating four new departments. greg hands takes over as the new conservative party chairman after nadhim zahawi sacked kemi badenoch is new secretary of state for business trade michelle donlan become a new

3:36 pm
is. gb news. welcome back. let's just loads coming your way we are shortly going to be going to that press conference and the search missing. nicola bailey also i'm going to be discussing the prevent programme it's prevent programme as well. it's been accused being too soft been accused of being too soft on treating them as on terrorist treating them as victims and not radical criminals. before that criminals. but before that nurses across england and wales . let's continue industrial action after the action today after the government refused to reopen negotiate shows emergency care will still be provided. but patients expect to see disruption was scheduled appointments and operation so quite a lot of people really they are over pay and working conditions but the royal college of nursing demanding a wage rise of nursing demanding a wage rise of 5% above inflation. go live now to north devon district hospital where our southwest reports is , along with if you're reports is, along with if you're the victim, by the sounds of it as well on london reports, at
3:37 pm
least argyll is at st thomas's hospital . geoff, i will start hospital. geoff, i will start with you. i see you are with someone. i am . i'm joined by sue someone. i am. i'm joined by sue mathews who's a retired nurse . mathews who's a retired nurse. so you think very much for coming away the picket line to talk to me over the last couple of days. yeah i want to just drill for a moment about this business. nurses pay . there's business. nurses pay. there's going to be a lot of people watching this who say well that pay watching this who say well that pay doesn't sound to nurses average salary isn't too bad. and then when you add to that the brilliant pension scheme, you a lot of people are going to say , i don't earn that amount of say, i don't earn that amount of money. what would you say to that? well, i think they need to know the reality of it . nurses know the reality of it. nurses who've done a three year degree come of university as a registered but with a £30,000 debt. they pay their tuition fees an examination fees for the whole their training even when they're on the wards after patients so they're paying look
3:38 pm
after patients throughout their training i mean they qualify they earn about training i mean they qualify they earn abou t £13.70 an training i mean they qualify they earn about £13.70 an hour and after five years as a nurse on about five, they're earning under on about five, they're earning unde r £15 an hour. now, how many under £15 an hour. now, how many people do you know working in a building site or in a non professional capacity would want to earn less than professional capacity would want to earn less tha n £15 an hour. to earn less than £15 an hour. and yet people slowly sit in their hands . and so it's all their hands. and so it's all very well saying what about pension? but the pension is a contribution pension . so the contribution pension. so the staff themselves are for that pension. it's not just an employer pension and it's not something buys and pays a mortgage , buys a house. the mortgage, buys a house. the signs west is an incredibly expensive place to live . not not expensive place to live. not not because we want it to be, but because we want it to be, but because people here on holiday. so all the landlord have taken off the long term rentals and
3:39 pm
let them for holiday rent because they make more even airbnb has been a destroyer of the rental properties and we've got international recruits coming in to work here as well as people here locally who get a six or eight weeks accommodation by the hospital and then they have to go and find their own accommodation. well the likelihood of them being able to do that is very, very difficult . and you know, there are specific in north devon who've been trying for a long time. so to bring to the attention of employers , also the councils, employers, also the councils, the property of rental property because there's no possibility of a mortgage the nurses pay. so it's not a panacea but on the other hand because the south—west large only has a low market its income because it's farming and so on loads of
3:40 pm
employers use 0 hours contracts it means a nationally negotiated like nurses and five brigade and police bring . the local average police bring. the local average of salary up a little bit and so if this salary for four groups of stuff like isn't sufficient for them to be able to afford to live here they go somewhere else and it means ultimately the economy of the whole area was affected. so that's why it's important it's important on an individual basis because we can't we can't recruit nurses to an area that can't afford where they can't afford to live . we they can't afford to live. we can't encourage people into nursing when they're going to come out with a £30,000 debt and we can't actually persuade them that it's a worthwhile career because there is no progression when the salary only goes up by
3:41 pm
less than when the salary only goes up by less tha n £2 an hour. when the salary only goes up by less tha n £2 an hour . after five less than £2 an hour. after five years of expert tes in saving people's lives. so that's why important. so you're pretty good .thank important. so you're pretty good . thank you very much for so succinctly . tell me how you feel succinctly. tell me how you feel about. succinctly. tell me how you feel about . thank you very much about. thank you very much indeed. that's about. thank you very much indeed.thafsit about. thank you very much indeed. that's it for me. now back to you, geoff thank you very much. jeff moody there, our south—west and our london reporter joins us now. lisa reporterjoins us now. lisa hartel , his aunt st thomas's hartel, his aunt st thomas's hosphal hartel, his aunt st thomas's hospital. lisa, a similar picture you on what's. hospital. lisa, a similar picture you on what's . on. day picture you on what's. on. day two of the two day strike that the nurses have been on. obviously, yesterday they had the ambulance workers out as well. they're back at work today and strike on friday. all and due to strike on friday. all the nurses behind me on the picket line have been here since early this morning, kind of in lulls earlier on. it really loud. lots of drumming cars, beeping their horns, trying to keep morale up and show the 73 trusts that are involved . the trusts that are involved. the strike today, that's around a third of them in england . and we
3:42 pm
third of them in england. and we know that so far there's been around 88,000 cancelled or appointments that have been had to be reschedule held since the nhs strikes . so i had a little nhs strikes. so i had a little chat earlier to some of the nurses on the picket line to see what they made of it all and this is what they had to say. well, i don't think we're going to be able to quite take that just yet, but there we go. that was these are. he's at st thomas's hospital, judge. but what you make of this? what do you make of this? i mean, there are definitely two different sides to this and probably between as probably a lot in between as well. did speak to a nurse well. i did speak to a nurse yesterday, and one thing that i found fascinating i found found fascinating as i found quite of quite fascinating with a lot of these how they are these strikes, is how they are voted for. so it can easily seem as every single nurse in the country come out and voted country has come out and voted to but in reality, to strike. but in reality, that's not case they that's not the case at all. they have to a certain threshold have to meet a certain threshold in order to do it. and i was speaking yesterday to a particular nurse who said, well, hey, us voted to hey, the majority of us voted to strive, we weren't allowed strive, but we weren't allowed to that's simply not to strike. that's simply not true. really drill true. and when you really drill down it, whilst think the
3:43 pm
down into it, whilst i think the vast of people will be vast majority of people will be back in favour some kind of back in favour of some kind of pay back in favour of some kind of pay some kind deserve pay rise, some kind of deserve a pay pay rise, some kind of deserve a pay to help with the cost pay rise to help with the cost of living crisis to not just nurses brigade staff nurses but fire brigade staff and different in. and various different people in. the public sector, when you're looking at something like 5% above inflation, the above the rate of inflation, the government can't afford government goes we can't afford it. think it's time when it. and i think it's time when governments stepped up. governments have stepped up. people look people go, alright low look but you afford but i you really afford it. but i suspect now people are suspect that now people are maybe the that maybe waking up to the fact that can't really that because if we gave everyone across the public sector pay rise that they want, well frankly it bankrupt us as a country , wouldn't it? so what do country, wouldn't it? so what do you of all of this, the you make of all of this, the solution when you really drill down into it on that is the radical redistribution wealth radical redistribution of wealth . really when . so the only thing really when you the nurses or you ask a lot of the nurses or you ask a lot of the nurses or you ask a lot of people who are out on strike, certainly the unions course, the only realistic way getting the of realistic way of getting the of pay realistic way of getting the of pay structure that want in society is . if we had radical society is. if we had radical socialism . some would argue marx socialism. some would argue marx is a do want that gb views out gb news dot uk now very very
3:44 pm
shortly. we are going to be going live to a press conference indicate is of nicola bolly who's the missing mum on the missing dog walker. now she went missing dog walker. now she went missing days ago and the police have been using word on amount of resources to search that strip river. the police came strip of river. the police came to the conclusion very early on, very early on and stuck with it that had gone in the river. okay. now, though , people are okay. now, though, people are starting to suggest that maybe that isn't the case. even members of the family are. they need to keep an open mind. what happened was this while an independent searchers started independent of searchers started at the river using very high tech sonar devices. even tech worldly sonar devices. even the head of that, who i am going to be talking to after this press conference, the press conference, by the way, came out said, we think that came out and said, we think that if we don't really find out, it's actually starting to look a lot more likely that she isn't in river. i never was at in the river. i never was at all. it's important not to speculate much, but this isn't. whilst speculation, it is pretty much straightforward case of much a straightforward case of is the river or not? so

4:04 pm
that nicola did fall into the river. clearly, mr. following isn't and isn't included within all the investigation detail, any more than the members of the health that i'm briefing through . these sorts of press conferences . so we would ask conferences. so we would ask that we be allowed time to continue with those and to released to the public only what is relevant for them at that time. thank you. i'll just take another question. thank you. john arrived. it's the 12th day that nicola fully has been missing . that nicola fully has been missing. every that nicola fully has been missing . every day concerns will missing. every day concerns will increase, no doubt , for everyone increase, no doubt, for everyone . how confident are you that your team find nicola alive ? it your team find nicola alive? it is 12 days since nicola has been and clearly a 15 kilometre stretch of the river is a complex it's difficult and moving body of water to search. i believe that we will find

4:09 pm
case, actually, because the victims of serial rapist, former police carrick, police officer david carrick, have their have been praised for. their bravery earlier bravery as he was earlier sentenced to 36 life terms for his crimes . judge mrs. justice his crimes. judge mrs. justice cheema grubb said that the voice of courage could not be denied while carrick handing while handing a sentence of at handing carrick a sentence of at least 30 years behind bars. it said that crown court today, the 48 year old, is one of the country's worst sex offenders. he the met in 2001. he pleaded to 49 charges, including 24 counts of rape. some incidents, meaning they relate at least 85 separate offences, including at least 71 sexual offences and 48 rapes. this afternoon , the home rapes. this afternoon, the home secretary suella braverman described describes as a scar on our adding that it is vital we uncover how he was able to wear the uniform for so long given his home and security to and what is out so the crown court for us now. thank you very much mark. an absolutely shocking case and well, a lengthy sentence some people saying it's not enough . suppose some people
4:10 pm
not enough. suppose some people will think nothing enough, really ? yeah, i think so. and really? yeah, i think so. and for his victims you can forgive them for believing nothing is enoughin them for believing nothing is enough in this case and the life mean a whole life tariff. but it didn't cross that threshold . far didn't cross that threshold. far as the judge was concerned , of as the judge was concerned, of course, none of his victims were killed him. and he did guilty before . this came to trial. all before. this came to trial. all that results in a discard to the sentence he would normally have been given . but it is 36 life been given. but it is 36 life sentences doesn't really mean anything other than one life sentence because they all run concurrently, but it says minimum tariff the minimum term that he must serve behind bars before he's even considered for parole and not is 30 almost 31 years. so this man be if he lives that long almost 80 years old before they're even consider the possibility that he could be
4:11 pm
released from prison . far as his released from prison. far as his victims are concerned . well, of victims are concerned. well, of course, there was a dozen victims that came forward on, formed the centre of this prosecution. but the police and prosecutors believe that there may well be more victims out there who haven't come forward yet, who might now feel to come forward, having seen this man brought to justice. and a little earlier, we heard from both the senior investigating officer in this case from hertfordshire police and from the crown prosecution service , of course, prosecution service, of course, talking about just an awful crime that our set of crimes that this man but also urging people to come forward if they to do so now i'm extremely relieved and pleased to be here today knowing that as a result of the courage of the victims and the relentless hard work of my team a serious and prolific sex is now safely behind . this sex is now safely behind. this has been of the longest and most
4:12 pm
challenging investigations i've ever been involved in. is a testament to my officers unwavering, dedicated chief justice david carrick has been some handed 36 life sentences today. some handed 36 life sentences today . i'm truly humbled by the today. i'm truly humbled by the bravery of the victims. each one was prepared to leave for their horrendous and face. carrick in court i would also like to the crown prosecution team at chiltern we work side by side with exceptional team of lawyers since october 2021, building a strong , compelling case. our strong, compelling case. our investigation does not stop here, however and we've set up a special reporting to allow people to continue to share information with us. this portal will remain open. information with us. this portal will remain open . details can be will remain open. details can be found on the hertfordshire police. i would urge anyone who thinks they've been a victim of david carrick to come forward . david carrick to come forward. still want to hear from you and we will support you as serving police officer. david carrick brought shame on the profession and was not fit to wear the uniform . but i hope that our uniform. but i hope that our determination to get justice for the victims in this case will go

some way reassuring the some way to reassuring the pubuc some way to reassuring the public nobody is above the public that nobody is above the law we we will bring law. and we will we will bring people like carrick to people like david carrick to justice. today's vote recognise the outstanding bravery of the victims . it often takes courage victims. it often takes courage for to come forward and report rape. but in this case to overcome the mental and physical oppression they endured may have felt insurmountable at times . felt insurmountable at times. we've heard the accounts of women who suffered at kerik's hands. women who suffered at kerik's hands . he took away their hands. he took away their control of their right to choose , their freedom , in some cases, , their freedom, in some cases, both physically , mentally. we both physically, mentally. we cannot undo the pain and anguish that they have endured , but i that they have endured, but i hope that they take this first step in rebuilding their lives, knowing that he can't harm them or any other woman. well le braverman, the home secretary said sur le braverman, the home secretary has said that the crimes committed by david carrick are a scar on policing
4:14 pm
and she wants to know how he was able to wearing the uniform for as long he did that certainly something the metropolitan police will be anxious to get the bottom of as they continue according to commissioner to root out police officers. i've been looking back at this very disturbing case and officer who abused his position in the most appalling . there's a police appalling. there's a police officer, a pc david carrick who is supposed to protect the pubuc is supposed to protect the public instead and he preyed on them using status as an armed officer to take control and silence his victims , a serial silence his victims, a serial offender . he admitted to offender. he admitted to a staggering total of almost 50 offences, including . 24 separate offences, including. 24 separate counts of rape at. scotland yard. the force may under new management, but is an all too
4:15 pm
familiar picture a humiliating act of . public contrition amid act of. public contrition amid promises is that the met is focussed on cleaning up its act . we in policing have failed . he . we in policing have failed. he should not have been a police officer . there were many should not have been a police officer. there were many signs . officer. there were many signs. we should have joined together. should have been rooted out dunng should have been rooted out during his career as police officer . it's upsetting to be officer. it's upsetting to be stood here talking about this and i again to the victim and indeedi and i again to the victim and indeed i to the women of london. pc carrick walk to the firearms officer in the parliamentary and protection command , whose protection command, whose officers guard key buildings like parliament embassies and downing street. it's the unit where pc wayne cousins, another corrupt , served. he where pc wayne cousins, another corrupt, served. he on to kidnap, rape and murder marketing executive sarah everard in march 20, 21. the heard how pc carrick repeatedly
4:16 pm
humiliated his victims, locking some women in the under stairs cupboard at his home here in stevenage or forcing them to clean his house naked. refer to his victims as slaves and telling them when they could eat and sleep. is went undetected . and sleep. is went undetected. the force he worked for , despite the force he worked for, despite his behaviour being brought to the attention of senior officers on nine separate occasions in 2000. carrick was accused of burglary and sending messages . burglary and sending messages. but the next year he passed the vetting procedures to join the metropole bolton police while serving. he was first accused of harassment and assault in 2002. he came to the attention again two years later, after an alleged domestic incident . alleged domestic incident. despite a string , other despite a string, other allegations, none of them proven. he posts fresh vetting
4:17 pm
checksin proven. he posts fresh vetting checks in 2017. in july 2021, he was placed on restricted duties after , being arrested on after, being arrested on suspicion of rape. but two months later, those restrict sessions were lifted after the charge is were dropped. it was only in october last year that carrick was finally suspend it after prosecutors charged him following another allegation of rape at this hotel, st albans, by a woman he'd met on a dating app by a woman he'd met on a dating app . an absolute shocking case, app. an absolute shocking case, this one. policing analyst graham said this appalling breach of trust underlines the urgent need to change the standards and the culture within. the uk's biggest force. this is dreadful case and it has to be a priority for new commission and management, say to address issues we commit restore trust and confidence by looking at offending that's looking at any offending that's going and root these people going on and root these people out. david carr sex out. policing pc david carr sex crimes have had devastating crimes have had a devastating impact on the lives of his
4:18 pm
victims , but the failure of his victims, but the failure of his officers to act sooner has destroyed the trust of many others within the wider community. mark white gb news. at scotland yard . well, thank at scotland yard. well, thank you, mark. i'm joined now by stephen. he's former director of professional at the met police . professional at the met police. he's look, thank you very much for coming on the show. i've got to ask were you director of professional standards the met police. when david carrick was that. police. when david carrick was that . no, no i wasn't police. when david carrick was that. no, no i wasn't in fact. no, i've retired then. okay. alright okay, fair enough. and look, how was this allowed to slip through the net. i mean was being brought to the attention in 2002. i do understand that you were there until 2009. we don't . yes. although by stage i don't. yes. although by stage i was working and training new officers . the reason that he was officers. the reason that he was able to slip through the net as you put it, to two basic issues
4:19 pm
here. the first is that please , here. the first is that please, regulations mean that police regulations, which are statutory mean that you can't simply either an officer or even get him removed from the force merely on the basis of an allegation . you have to have allegation. you have to have credible evidence and in order to have somebody removed from the service altogether, you actually to have him either convicted of a criminal and then you can't get rid of him very thankfully , or you have to have thankfully, or you have to have sufficient to put him in front of a police discipline board which can it can then sack him . which can it can then sack him. but it's not as straightforward as we would all wish that it was. but issue, though, where i think the message is at fault is that when you have succession of allegations coming about an individual , allegations coming about an individual, what needs to happen is that individual is thoroughly investigate to try and make sure that there is the evidence
4:20 pm
available on which he can be suspended and on which he can ultimately be sacked. and that's where i think the police, the metropolitan police failed on this occasion . when you look at this occasion. when you look at the fact that he was part of the same as it were, as wayne khoza , was murderous rapist , who was the murderous rapist in the sarah everard case, it does lead one to wonder whether the job itself being an armed police and the power of that attracts a type of man. what you think? yes that is indeed true . think? yes that is indeed true. it's well known from research not only in this country, but in as well that whilst the vast majority of to the police service well intentioned people have integrity, it also does attract people who want to exercise power and. the exercise of power. the thing that attracts them to the police service. that's why you have to have very standards of vetting. that's why you have to investigate people against whom there are allegations up as regards the diplomatic
4:21 pm
protection group. yes. cousins was also a member of that group, but also was a gentleman called keith palmer, who lost his life defending parliament from a man, a terrorist , a knife. so i think a terrorist, a knife. so i think rather unfair to brand that department as as the home of . department as as the home of. well exactly and it's really it look it really is very very unfortunate . i certainly you unfortunate. i certainly you know but the police force to the hilt and i'm a believer in law and order and vast majority of our viewers are. but when you hear the likes of mark rowley coming out and going, what you can expect two or three coppers in single week for in court every single week for the the year is the rest of the year is difficult to stop. always difficult to stop. police always institution only this or institutionally that. and i hate lumping those things about. just very this might seem very lastly, this might seem completely outlandish, but in light of some of the cases that we've got in order to be absolutely double sure that there are not this out and out wrong the police force,
4:22 pm
wrong ones in the police force, could we start doing things like lie detector test for people . we lie detector test for people. we don't things like don't start doing things like absolutely forensic absolutely mandatory forensic looks through that hard and old saws. i mean, this chap supposedly watching incredibly violent, i mean, that might be a useful indicator that he's got some nasty desires . there are some nasty desires. there are all sorts of measures that could be taken, but we do have to bear in mind that even police officers have civil rights . they officers have civil rights. they have a right and an expectation of privacy . so there are limits of privacy. so there are limits as to is possible legally and there are limits to what is ethical . however, where you've ethical. however, where you've got who has to undergo vetting for national security that can be made a condition of their vetting that they in fact forced into giving permission for that sort of event. but that will require very numbers of people skilled in order to that. now,
4:23 pm
mark rowley , the commissioner is mark rowley, the commissioner is already diverting good detail tech teams with experience and integrity into the professional standards . and that's quite standards. and that's quite right . but there standards. and that's quite right. but there is a standards. and that's quite right . but there is a limit to right. but there is a limit to how many people can be taken off from policing , protect the from policing, protect the pubuc from policing, protect the public and to professional standards work. stevie, thank you very much. great to have you on the show. wonderful insight that stephen roberts, the former director standards at the met police as he was just reacting to sickening that police as he was just reacting to been aning that police as he was just reacting to been talking that police as he was just reacting to been talking aboutt we've been talking about throughout the course of the. we're moving away from that now, though, morning were though, this morning eyes were on happen to dominic on what would happen to dominic raabin on what would happen to dominic raab in sunak's cabinet reshuffle but seems that reshuffle but it seems that remain in post until the investigation into alleged concludes the prime minister concludes but the prime minister has been shaking some things and why today's created get why all today's created get this. a new department for energy security . and zero with energy security. and zero with grunge chaps at the which he hopes will help reduce household
4:24 pm
bills and cut emissions. obviously a lot of people pointing out the two of those things that could be kind of mutually exclusive, really. how can you have energy security and also net zero that's been out of also net zero that's been out of a political darren mccaffrey he's westminster. darren. he's in westminster. darren. to be i in many cases are be fair, i in many cases are relatively well known, dramatic reshuffle, you could say . yeah, reshuffle, you could say. yeah, indeed. reshuffle, you could say. yeah, indeed . rishi sunak promised indeed. rishi sunak promised that politics was going to be relatively boring. well, he didn't, but of the supporters have done that since he became prime and today's prime minister. and today's maybe is that it all went maybe a sign is that it all went pretty smoothly. and to be fair to these things to the government, these things necessarily but necessarily terribly easy, but typically you're typically when actually you're keeping your cards to your chest and you changing not just and also you changing not just the personnel, but indeed some of the government departments as well. few well. i think there's a few things take away. it first of things to take away. it first of all, got sacked. so that all, no one got sacked. so that does make things you're does make things when you're essentially creating jobs rather than force out than having to force people out of government. second of all, you're right. this department that grant shapps is not going to lead which effectively to lead up, which effectively the gordon brown the department that gordon brown created back in two thousand
4:25 pm
created way back in two thousand and seven eight, that is the department and climate it department energy and climate it was called then now is energy security and net zero. but you're right, it's about sending that to large that that signal to a large that energy security is really but also they're trying to meet that target net zero by the middle of the century. also important to this government, it must be said not everyone in the party shares that can another good that view can another good example of changes today she's seen her remit massively increase not just trade but also business to take it up and all chunk of action shops department and then we've got this new department based around science and technology again signal from the government what she said an extract about this before that he wants to ensure that science is at the heart the future in terms of making britain a science superpower . what is science superpower. what is notable today is that we've got a new conservative chairman as well, greg hands takes over from the teams hallway. he's going to be a safe person . some might be a safe person. some might suggest a good campaigner well liked in the conservative
4:26 pm
liked it in the conservative party, patrick, got party, patrick, but he's got a hell of a struggle and not oil task to try and change things about. not least that those local elections in a couple of months and finally one person who's left government today who's not left government today or changed jobs is that or indeed changed jobs is that of raab. the allegations of dominic raab. the allegations the investigation hasn't gone away. prime clearly determined to hold on to him of course he denies he's any allegations of bullying it may well be found that. bullying it may well be found that . he's bullying it may well be found that. he's not been bullying it may well be found that . he's not been involved bullying it may well be found that. he's not been involved in that. he's not been involved in that. but the prime minister again, in another signal again, sending in another signal . to throw . he's not going to throw cabinet ministers under the bus without , would due without he, would argue, due process . well that we go down process. well that we go down and thank you very darren mccaffrey political mccaffrey that our political editor is in westminster now editor who is in westminster now up gentlemen trump's up later gentlemen trump's earthquake in turkey on syria. our reporter sending voice notes from inside the rubble that they're trapped in. trump's earthquake victims are still out there. and we believe that about of them are british as well. i also very shortly going to be to pizza folding is in charge now of the dive operation in the

4:31 pm
predicting something this ? well, predicting something this? well, we're not now in a position to be able predict. science has advance lot and we understand how stress accumulates and from one fault into another. but we don't know when it's going to happen. we it's likely we know which faults are active, but the question of the million, i suppose , is when. and that are suppose, is when. and that are not in the position to answer at the. do we know exactly what has happened here? look the expert on this kind of stuff probably at this point that i throw my hands up and say i wasn't necessary, always the best in class when it came to and certainly volcanology all of this stuff. so what happens exactly here? because these are massive quakes and aftershocks . massive quakes and aftershocks. well, in all all the all that all of turkey and syria or all a lot of the middle east it's a well—known area of a freak
4:32 pm
quilt, a very large and very destructive earthquakes. what happens is that the movement of the plates has been a creating an accumulation of that has been released very suddenly and very shallow import is very important. and the shaking of the ground has affected all that. a very large area where buildings haven't been able to withstand the tremors and the problem. i mean , two earthquakes problem. i mean, two earthquakes to respond precisely to long time we saw with energy accumulated in this fault are not being released. and these means that they this means a really big problem . a fault for really big problem. a fault for and for all these and it sounds that have all this energy and they have all these potential large earthquakes that has happenedin large earthquakes that has happened in this case and will carry on occurring . we don't carry on occurring. we don't know when, but within fault line
4:33 pm
indeed and just to reiterate as well do you expect that to be more tremors taking place shortly , the aftermath of this. shortly, the aftermath of this. do we think this is it now? well, typically very large earthquakes have a period of aftershocks of tremors . and it aftershocks of tremors. and it settles . and we're hoping that settles. and we're hoping that this will be the case in earthquakes. so if things follow the normal trends , most frequent the normal trends, most frequent trends , they should be dying trends, they should be dying down and ground should be stabilised and therefore and this should be yes they be finishing now. dr. carman, thank you very much. dr. comments along with our reader in volcanology and risk communication. just reacting to the that there have been there's a whopping great both in a whopping great big both in syria and in turkey. fact syria and in turkey. in fact there are images that there are live images that bringing now and that's bringing you just now and that's in rescue operation in turkey of a rescue operation taking place there. quick google ladies gentlemen, you will

i've interviewed everybody on that picket line over the last couple of days that wants to be interviewed so afraid. now you've just got me summing up what been said to me . i get what has been said to me. i get a strong sense these people this is from listening to their stories over the last of days that firstly that angry a strong sense anger that they feel they have no choice other than to stand out here. none of them want to stand out here in the cold. they want to be in there in the hospital, doing their work. so a strong sense that how how has it come to this ? also how has it come to this? also a sense of pride. a lot of them saying, look, i want to be able to look, my grandchildren , the to look, my grandchildren, the eyes when the time comes and say that i did something to support and help the nhs move forward . a and help the nhs move forward. a lot of people are saying that to me that proud that they're taking a stand for the future because they say to it's not just the nhs today. because they say to it's not just the nhs today . this is just the nhs today. this is talking about the nhs tomorrow
4:42 pm
and next and in the future and next year and in the future and next year and in the future andifs and next year and in the future and it's a service we're going to use at one point or another. a lot of them talking to me about a sense frustration at having to live on £13 an hour. that's the sort basic minimum wage . a junior nurse . and they wage. a junior nurse. and they were saying, well, you know, you've got your loans. there's also parking, of you've got your loans. there's also parking , of course, they also parking, of course, they have to park pay for at their place of work. if they have to go into a car park that's a five, £5 a day. they're talking to me about how difficult it is for nurses and junior nhs staff to get mortgage. they were saying that home ownership in a world where they're choosing between heating and eating, owning your own home just doesn't come into . and they're doesn't come into. and they're saying that particularly if someone like north devon, this is a problem, that devon and coleman and many other places this issue second homes rich this issue of second homes rich londoners that decide get londoners that decide to get a home down in the countryside and use it a couple of times a year
4:43 pm
pushing prices up reducing the availability t of the housing stock. and that's having real impact on them, too. but also a strong sense of frustration about the way this strike is being portrayed by the media. a lot of them saying to me , look, lot of them saying to me, look, it's fair to say is morally wrong. it's fair to say that people's lives are being put at risk because inside that hospital, they're telling me it's more staff than ever before. there's agency staff galore . every now and again, galore. every now and again, somebody on the picket will go and take some doughnuts into agency staff and make sure they're doing a good enough job. they're saying that no bodies, lives are being put at risk. and finally , a sense of finally, a sense of determination . this is the last determination. this is the last that's planned at the moment. hopefully now the government will sit down with the unions and thrash out some kind deal. but they're saying if that doesn't happen, they will still
4:44 pm
take it . they will still go on take it. they will still go on strike until get their wishes . strike until get their wishes. okay, jeff, thank you very . jeff okay, jeff, thank you very. jeff moody, that who is our south—west reporter . moody, that who is our south—west reporter. he's been, like i said, diligently standing at the picket lines. look i've got to be honest with you, when it comes to the issue of home ownership and stuff. well, join the. frankly the vast majority of people who are under the age of people who are under the age of 30, even older around of 30, some even older around the pretty much in a lot of the uk, pretty much in a lot of professions anyway, they've majority professions are struggling on housing struggling to get on the housing at moment. it's way at the moment. it's just way it is. i hearing about going is. i keep hearing about going to as well. we are yet to foodbanks as well. we are yet to foodbanks as well. we are yet to see any kind of coherent data. it comes to people in the pubuc data. it comes to people in the public going to public sector going to foodbanks. people foodbanks. a lot of people do raise objections to the raise strong objections to the idea that nurses be given a pay rise. 5% above inflation in the current economic climate. you would then have to, of give pay rises to everyone , the public rises to everyone, the public sector. and i think whilst are in favour of some public sector pay in favour of some public sector pay rises not necessarily for others as well. and when it comes to them go well actually
4:45 pm
we're not putting at we're not putting patients at risk . i well frankly risk whatsoever. i well frankly don't believe it because how can a load nurses out on picket lines not be patient safety at risk ? and in fact, i'm reading risk? and in fact, i'm reading a headune risk? and in fact, i'm reading a headline here deadlock over nhs pay putting patients in danger. chief is ward. well, yeah. i mean, if the nhs is better serviced by virtue of all of those people being studying something out on a picket line, then goodness gracious me, what's the point then to begin with? gbviews@gbnews.uk anyway, with? gbviews@gb news.uk anyway, there economic with? gbviews@gbnews.uk anyway, there here economic with? gbviews@gbnews.uk anyway, there here go economic with? gbviews@gbnews.uk anyway, there here go on economic with? gbviews@gbnews.uk anyway, there here go on ecorhorizon news. here we go on the horizon . energy bills set to drop . energy bills look set to drop later year. the resolution later this year. the resolution foundation has said that the average bill should fall by thousan d £200 by october, below thousand £200 by october, below two and a half gram paid under the current reduction the current price. the reduction is to last through the is set to last through the winter, bills average winter, as bills will average £2,400 between this april and next. that's a reduction supposedly on the previous forecast of £3,000. joining me now to discuss is former ceo of energy uk is angela knight. okay. all right. so potentially a bit of good news, energy bills

4:47 pm
they're starting to work out better in the sense of they're starting that building, importing ports, importing of the lng, you know, the tankers , the lng, you know, the tankers, uquefied the lng, you know, the tankers, liquefied gas which they didn't have importing, bought vegetable , but now they're getting those in that helps. they actual consumption. there's been cutting consumption across that helps and that cut can stay. and course some of the nuclear power france which was down very substantially for a whole a whole raft of reasons that's now back up and running . we're back up and running. we're looking at a picture. well, we've got do here in this country is now focussed more on own energy security. i'll be absolutely clear as to actions we are taking so we can't be caught by an international problem to the extent that we have that we have the last few months here. i get it. but we shouldn't have been caught.
4:48 pm
people have been talking about this is the thing staring us in eye. if you allow somebody else and not particular individual or those individuals are not very nice to have your economic security and a vice thing should not be surprised when those nasty turn off the taps . we have nasty turn off the taps. we have recently just seen today fact that we now have grant shapps who has of energy security . and who has of energy security. and net zero. can we do of those things at the same time surely now . well you can. but you've now. well you can. but you've got to get your timescale right and you've got to get your plan. the answer isn't just got to more wind farms because that manifestly, you know , isn't manifestly, you know, isn't going to work because the wind blow all the time today. it's not. it's cold. what are you going to rely on? so what? the way we will get to net zero is a sensible timescale in which we build our back up. and we also build. they can they know the baseload which is predominate
4:49 pm
has to be nuclear low carbon at the same time we don't just build renewables . we also have build renewables. we also have got to develop more technology such as , you know, storing such as, you know, storing electricity by using it in surplus to spit water and collect the hydrogen and all those sorts of techniques, but is not going to have that tomorrow. you're not going to have that this decade. you know, is this is taking the next 20, 25 years to get the programme right to do the investments at a pace which people can afford and. for heaven's sake, move them to one side. i it's no good us pouring hate and scorn onto the big energy companies, the ones who extract oil and gas simply because an international market is where they play a bad spot in the oil and gas out of ground right away around the world. there's a shortage globally . the price went up. globally. the price went up. it's not fault, for heaven's
4:50 pm
sake. instead of bashing them, they are paying a load of tax to us. there needs to be a proper programme of which more gas locally is going to have to be part because is a very good interim fuel gas powering up gas . gas. yes well, stations is the thing you can do quickly and you have to do things when the wind stops up, the sun starts shining . so that programme is essential . exactly. angela, thank you very much . angela knight, that very much. angela knight, that former ceo of energy uk, i think doing so ought to expose a little bit, frankly, of madness that's going on around at the minute. oh, we rich people. minute. oh, we hate rich people. we the wealthy people. we we hate the wealthy people. we hate oil and energy hate these big oil and energy giants. but we need the rich people and we of course people and we need, of course the energy giants to the oil energy giants to be pumping into economy. pumping tanks into our economy. we've to be zero. we cannot we've got to be zero. we cannot anger swedish teenager come we know we cannot make gretta angry. absolutely no, we couldn't possibly do that kind of thing. all right, then. fine. we'll on says we'll whoppers on putin, says the for friends in the top tsar for our friends in the top tsar for our friends in the middle east decide that they don't particularly like us any
4:51 pm
more. got to fire more. oh, we've got to fire up the plants, we? okay. the coal plants, have we? okay. all and the same people all right. and the same people who the coal plants, who hate the coal plants, i suspect, the ones who would suspect, were the ones who would have against torture have been dead against torture for closing the coal pits to begin absolute begin with, it is absolute madness. people madness. and we need people actually to be kept warm in their today as their own homes. today as opposed to, like i've said, appeasing a of people who appeasing a lot of people who glue themselves things, glue themselves to things, probably got probably because they've got a whole issues on in whole host of other issues on in their head anyway. first their own head anyway. first minister salmond minister alex salmond has criticised mentor mentee nicholas the nicholas sturgeon, saying the agenda nonsense scottish agenda nonsense is that scottish independence ? yes. mr. salmond independence? yes. mr. salmond also cold pursuit , a also cold pursuit, a controversial agenda and lack clarity over transgender rapist . i let bryson support for the campaign for independence does seem to be falling as a new yougov poll of scottish voters shows that those backing independence dropped 6% among that's decided for me to say voters compared to same results for december. joining me now is columnist at the scotsman and former msp is brian monteith. brian, great stuff. thank very much. has nicholas sturgeon done us all a favour frankly and an
4:52 pm
exposing the old transgender madness? maybe put that to bed . madness? maybe put that to bed. also put scottish independence to bed as well. i believe that she is actually now an existential to the snp . their existential to the snp. their independence cause so bad is becoming as someone wishing to in a sense defend the rights of a rapist decide. he a woman after he's been charged on two counts. and of course eventually found guilty that her personal rating are also falling in same poll that is going to tarnish undoubtedly tarnish the snp and scores and if the snp members of the snp politicians had any sense they would be seeking to change leader because i think with so changing that leader
4:53 pm
they have had their right in their moment and they're so tarnished . what do you think tarnished. what do you think will and them. yeah. do you think will look back on this now and think you know what i have chosen to die on a hill after , a chosen to die on a hill after, a long political career after a political career where to be fair and honest, she has navigated the game of human chess that is the thick hand of politics and a political career that at times has brought a tremendous excess. she could have had it all. she could well potentially have pushed for some kind of referendum. she could well potentially won. well have potentially won. and now, has designed it, in now, because has designed it, in my view to back a cause that there's way she can possibly there's no way she can possibly genuinely only believe in that will be the that brings her down. well patrick humility is not nicola sturgeon's middle name . try and find her name. try and find her apologising for any of the mistakes in her policies and she has dreadful success a complete
4:54 pm
lack of it in education. many failures in transfer fisheries and railways and dual carriageway ways roads that need upgraded . we can go on and on upgraded. we can go on and on and her political record is poor but she is not a healer. she does not work in building consensus or harmony. she divides the country and as such. she has put people against her and this this transgender bill. and it was not supported by the people . and as a result, she is people. and as a result, she is no feeling sorry when she actually supports the rights . a actually supports the rights. a double rapist to a choose to become a woman after being charged as a man. yeah. nicholas sturgeon cannot tell us what woman is. she cannot tell us what a trans person is. i think it used to be quite a narrow
4:55 pm
definition and now it incorporates people who were goodness gracious me, cross—dressers, non binary, etc. what fascinating . can she what i find fascinating. can she come? can't tell us come? she can't even tell us going in her own home. going on in her own home. actually, brian nicholas sturgeon can't recall indeed sturgeon can't recall if indeed it her home. nicholas it is her own home. nicholas sturgeon when she found sturgeon recall when she found out that her husband had lent £100,000 to the snp. she's saying that's his own money. i can tell you what now i have a film say if can tell you what now i have a film say i f £100,000 of his own film say if £100,000 of his own money or not, 100,000 quid if it wasn't someone i'd like to have known about it. well, nicholas sturgeon is where she is because she has her finger on the pulse of what is happening . her some of what is happening. her some might call her a control freak. theidea might call her a control freak. the idea that she can be the leader of a political party and her husband who stays the same almanzo and is the chief executive does not discuss with that he is making a personal loan that she does not have some fiduciary duty to know what's
4:56 pm
going on. he doesn't have some fiduciary to tell her with such a huge fiduciary to tell her with such a hug e £107,000 of money after a huge £107,000 of money after tax that's personal personal wealth was in the is being treated today snp one may ask why by her husband and she can't remember the details i mean that is just unbelievable. it is there's no credibility in that answer yet again . it's an answer yet again. it's an example. so there no humility and noble this to accept that she's wrong she's really testing now i think the parameters of how scottish people want independence if it is a question of okay you want independence and i'm a brexiteer believing the right to self determination, national sovereignty, all of this . but if national sovereignty, all of this. but if you want to say at the cost of allowing male rapists into female presence and you want at the cost having a you want to at the cost having a lady in charge who doesn't seem
4:57 pm
to be able to run around home, let a country and. a let alone a country and. a variety of different issues going now your education going on now with your education system your health care system and your health care service. suspect that service. brian i suspect that people fence in people who on the fence in scotland might have scotland might start to have a look at nick and think look at queen nick and think actually tommy abdicated . well, actually tommy abdicated. well, i certainly think that there are some able people in the snp they're not the best supported party in scotland for nothing. and where there to be a frontrunner to be someone that was to come forward and say i'm sorry nicola that your time is over we need to reboot the party and i think the change could be quick see very quickly this was got rid of i think if nicholas sturgeon doing pushed she would fall away even quicker. i've got to cut you off, brian, about that. i could talk to you all day, brian monteith, the scotsman and former acp pay writer with me patrick christys gb news loads more to come i

5:18 pm
serial sex offender, i don't imagine to do too imagine he's going to do too well prison now, but in well in prison now, but he's in absolute monster. i listened to mrs. justice dream of grubs sentencing today and a of the details of the depravity and the violence that he bestowed upon poor victims is we wicked beyond belief and. it is hugely irritating that he's only got 30 i only got a minimum 30 years. unfortunately there are sentencing guidelines which the judge has to abide by. but to hear him being given a discount because of his guilty pleas, kind of reduces our criminal justice system to a boxing day sale , and it's a bit demeaning . sale, and it's a bit demeaning. however we're at in the position that are. i know that the attorney general's office is already had a number of letters of complaint out and people appealing what they see as an unduly lenient sentence so your viewers and listeners feel that
5:19 pm
way then go on to the attorney general, the website and, submit your you know, your point of view. yeah. and just from your perspective as someone who has spent quite a bit time around the met when it comes to people who are in like the firearms units and stuff like that kelly attracts a certain type of wrong'un sometimes unfortunately many authorised firearms officers met exercise their bicep ups more than their brains . and i know that because sometimes you arrest me when i was on the conference, probably the floor and all that kind of stuff . yeah, it does attract stuff. yeah, it does attract particular kind of person, not across the board, but certain kind of like the macho bit, you know, you'll see them on the tv in summer when they'll have at shirt where they show just a hint bicep. you know, they've got it just they're up and off because i love all of that big, big, tough guys with with a big submachine gun. but it's more than just the standards in the culture that the met's got to
5:20 pm
tackle here in order to regain pubuc tackle here in order to regain public trust. what the public want to see is accounts . it want to see is accounts. it doesn't matter that we'll be seeing two or three cops in court every week, sir mark like what he said the other week. it doesn't that does matter. but what is important to win trust is that people that have allowed carrick to operate, to re—offend , those people need to be held to account. not just the matters like these are systematic failings. now, somewhere along the line. individual people have not done their job and they need to be they need to be investigated . they need to be investigated. they need to be named and held to. yeah. i mean, the fact is , mark rowley, the fact is, mark rowley, i mean, yes. so he wasn't in his current post while all of this nonsense was taking place. but he's going to get very used by the sounds of it. it's just not enough. i'm making comments exactly this and there are only so many times the public can listen it, frankly, listen to it, frankly, before they can i just they stop listening, can i just move on little from move us on a little bit from this particular topic now and
5:21 pm
talk about the nicola bullying? this the missing walker, this is the missing dog walker, missing really, should this is the missing dog walker, misswho really, should this is the missing dog walker, misswho was really, should this is the missing dog walker, misswho was know lly, should this is the missing dog walker, misswho was know this should this is the missing dog walker, misswho was know this sithe d say. who was know this is the 12th been missing, 12th day you've been missing, surely. crossed . we're surely. fingers crossed. we're going hearing from going to be hearing from peter folding this folding his, fronting up this independent dive search for we had press conference on from had a press conference on from lancashire police and they were adamant that she's gone into the river there . is speculation river there. is speculation mounting some of it tasteful. one of the things that a lot of our viewers and listeners racking their brains about peter and you can talk to me and hoping you can talk to me about the fitbit. about this is the fitbit. they're that she's they're saying that she's wearing a fitbit, which basically tracks your movements and people saying, basically tracks your movements and surelyaople saying, basically tracks your movements and surely this; saying, basically tracks your movements and surely this is saying, basically tracks your movements and surely this is goinging, basically tracks your movements and surely this is going to , well, surely this is going to some you, pulls some days it manages you, pulls the you steps. yeah, the monitors, you steps. yeah, indeed just indeed it does. now, just imagine example, that i was imagine for example, that i was wearing today, i'm not wearing a fitbit today, i'm not i'm imagine if i was for the minutes i've been sat here talking to you . of course, the talking to you. of course, the minute the fitbit wouldn't record any steps because i've not taken any . so it would show not taken any. so it would show me as being static because the fitbit if it's linked either to icloud or to a phone or to some
5:22 pm
other device is continually pumping out data , pumping out pumping out data, pumping out information . so that fitbit information. so that fitbit would show that i've been static in so much that i've not taken the step for a few minutes. then when i get up to leave the fitbit would stop pumping out that data that i'm taking however many it might be, six or eight steps to the studio door. i then, of course, may walk on beyond and it will record of those. so i would imagine that the police have definitely done some communications investigations around that fitbit to see if it's out any data that might lead them to be as convinced as they are because their position hasn't changed since friday that nicola unfortunately say they and they might not necessarily be inclined to be revealing of that to us now forgive me. forgive me a chuckle here. i'm not being disrespectful to nicola this is not dreadful circumstances but i
5:23 pm
can imagine the police in their naivety not wanting to declare telecommunity nation's capabilities because they're thinking well might be educated criminals as to the stuff we can do well watch tv dramas we all read the papers. we're talking all of that we talk about it's out there. people know it's the same as how the police will neverin same as how the police will never in a case admit that they tapped telephones. right. but of course you stop any man, woman, child in the street and there's a side to the police out of phones, you think? and of course, they will resound and say yes. and of course we know do. suspect they want to do. but i suspect they want to keep data investigate keep that data to investigate actions around data secret, actions around that data secret, which they're telling which is why they're not telling us if there is such detail that may have helped them formulate their theory of the theory. thank you very peter thank you very much, peter assaf. peter blakeslee, the former met police officer. detective, i should say they demoted them for a sack of pizza sorry. i can feel his eyes burning this in my head
5:24 pm
burning is this all in my head as speak. right. okay, we're as we speak. right. okay, we're moving. sunak's new has moving. sunak's new cabinet has for first time this for met first time this afternoon, his afternoon, following his sweeping earlier. the sweeping shake up earlier. the creation new government creation of four new government departments creation of four new government departme|growth and addressing economic growth and addressing the crisis marks a major the energy crisis marks a major reshaping of some key government departments as sunak's seeks to put stamp on whitehall and put his stamp on whitehall and deliver on his five key pledges. let's go for more detail from downing street with political correspondent catherine forster catherine . a lot of people think catherine. a lot of people think rishi sunak's this was quite a dull reshuffle . yeah well, dull reshuffle. yeah well, insofar as he hasn't really been sacking people. so he made any more. enemies. i think he's really trying to ruffle as few conservative mps feathers . conservative mps feathers. possible given his first 100 days and the various factions within the party. he's created these new departments and really it's a bit of a reset moment for him. it was necessitated, of course, by fact that he had to sack the tory chairman, nadhim
5:25 pm
zahawi over a week ago for the tax avoidance . so there was tax avoidance. so there was a vacancy . he's brought into that vacancy. he's brought into that greg hams, who's an mp for many many years. he was a remainer. he's very emollient. he's really a safe pair of hands. he's very emollient. he's really a safe pair of hands . and more a safe pair of hands. and more surprising, perhaps the choice of deputy party chairman is lee anderson , a real red wall mp anderson, a real red wall mp came in in 2019. somebody very well known to this channel who not mince his words . and i think not mince his words. and i think he's brought lee in really a sort of counterbalance . to greg sort of counterbalance. to greg hands. but that won't to everybody's taste certainly. and then these departments and basically he's trying to focus we're going to hear so much about these five key priorities of his of the government's getting growth halving halving inflation cutting waiting lists stopping the boats etc. and with
5:26 pm
this new department for energy security and net zero that he's put grant shapps , there really put grant shapps, there really is going to be a big focus on how we get our energy . we get it how we get our energy. we get it from and being sustainable looking forward and then another big priority for rishi sunak is science tech and innovation. he's created this new department. he's put michelle donlon in charge of that because he really this huge potential for the growth that we also know we desperately need in this country through those sorts of avenues, advanced manufacture , avenues, advanced manufacture, sharing, tech, green technology , etc. so it's a reset moment. and he be hoping that some the media and the world will move a little bit from what liz truss said next and what boris johnson's doing and that tomorrow they might be talking about the government's priorities . yes, indeed. or i priorities. yes, indeed. or i gather thank you very much, catherine forster. our correspondent from the steps of downing street. how do you feel about this, rachel? well, to
5:27 pm
honest with you, i don't know. i asked how you feel probably a bit nonplussed, dull. nothing major apart major really happening, apart from argue from the obvious. i would argue , which the creative , which is the creative department that both want energy and net zero. it is rather bizarre . you ask me that you bizarre. you ask me that you want people basically go, okay, all right, we're going to have energy security at the same time as doing everything we can to not gretta the swedish not annoyed gretta the swedish school truman to clearly we can't you can we otherwise you might pull a nasty face at us. i don't see how those things are going marry up, but going to actually marry up, but we'll have to wait and see if can do it. surely as grant shapps no one coming up, shapps no one ever. coming up, i'll one of the i'll be speaking to one of the divers who is searching for mum nicola lancashire police nicola bailey, lancashire police has update in their for has given an update in their for her afternoon. they sought her this afternoon. they sought to but family the to reassure, but family and the pubuc to reassure, but family and the public still exploring public they're still exploring all lines of inquiry all possible lines of inquiry but as you're to hear, the but as you're about to hear, the diver is charging this particular dive inquiry into it. he thinks there are a of unanswered questions as indeed you at home so we'll get stuck

5:34 pm
desperately miss her and need her back. well, look i'm very pleased to be able to say i can go to man who has been go now to the man who has been searching for nicola water searching for nicola the water for 48 hours. it's for the past 48 hours. it's pizza. he's ceo of pizza. and he's ceo of specialist group international pizza . thank you very much. pizza. thank you very much. there are loads of unanswered questions to do with this. you are obviously trying to answer them. you have now presumably completed another searching. do you think she's in the river again , patrick? i don't want to again, patrick? i don't want to speculate over this again. i don't want to be one of the speculate. it's a difficult. we have conducted down river yesterday and we've searched area where the divers originally searched . i mean, that's let's searched. i mean, that's let's go when the clock back a bit when nicola went missing on the day the police divers were deployed into river here to search and normally if somebody drowns go straight to the bottom and that's in 20 odd years of experience of dealing with
5:35 pm
drowning victims . you know, done drowning victims. you know, done the hundreds of cases . now they the hundreds of cases. now they go to the bottom the river's slow move. they won't go far. but the police divers are very professional , but the police divers are very professional, did but the police divers are very professional , did not even but the police divers are very professional, did not even find a then and that's the that's the weird thing i. a lot is being made of how this is a tidal river in parts and you know it's shallower in certain areas it's deeperin shallower in certain areas it's deeper in others. i think there are quite lot of people who really are struggling to believe that if she was in now after such extensive searches , you've such extensive searches, you've said that she wouldn't have found . yeah, i mean, there's found. yeah, i mean, there's a re it just down from the bench. i'm standing near where nick nicholas phone was and the dog harness and we've the police divers depending again today but we've been so using the high frequency side scan sonar this stretch today and it's so detailed it can even you see every stone over she's not in this stretch. we also sonar the other side down yesterday in the
5:36 pm
tidal river. now if you take a football on a tidal river, anyone works on the thames will confirm this . you throw a confirm this. you throw a football in when the ebbing tide when the tide goes, the ball will go down the stream. and then as soon as tide turns, it will come back in again. it'll end up back at the same place we see animals doing that. we're in rivers we search. so for rivers when we search. so for nicola to get out the sea would be impossible. literally. it's such long the days. such a long way in the 11 days. it's an awful way down. and there's also lots of shallows over the where very shallow. it's all stones . even if the it's all stones. even if the river level was up slightly . so river level was up slightly. so i don't know . no, river level was up slightly. so i don't know. no, i river level was up slightly. so i don't know . no, i look, river level was up slightly. so i don't know. no, i look, i understand that you don't want to speculate. i'm our viewers and our listeners that can read into what you're saying . i mean, into what you're saying. i mean, it's difficult not to speculate . what it does simply seem to boil down to an issue at the minute , which is she in the minute, which is, is she in the river or taking at face river or and taking at face value everything that you said there, just looking unlikely that she's the police did issue that she's the police did issue that conference earlier on. and peter, i don't have if you saw
5:37 pm
it, i think you might be there, actually. but they did say basically look, you're working nose working out very. yeah, but they did say that with respect you're not necessarily in possession of all the full facts or any more information than any member of the public . what did member of the public. what did you make of that ? well if you make of that? well if there's any more facts that we don't know about, i mean normally we work along the side of the police. and if you haven't got the facts, then you can't conduct a proper search . can't conduct a proper search. it's very difficult without that information . and normally i get information. and normally i get i'm privy to that information on you know, on a lot of these searches i'm doing a lot of classified work . and obviously, classified work. and obviously, i don't ever speak that. but this is if there's more information, i certainly don't know about it, which it would be useful to know . i can know about it, which it would be useful to know. i can imagine. yes absolutely. there are as well. some strange things perhaps don't seem to add up in
5:38 pm
this case. and for example you seem to be saying that the itself wasn't a particularly secured area. there wasn't a load of police tape around it. there are issues with the dog as well. i mean why it wasn't behaving in more erratic way or more worked up for example . do more worked up for example. do you have a look at this operation now and identify some elements to this that don't to add up for you . i don't know add up for you. i don't know about the honestly about the police operation. i mean, the police operation. i mean, the police were here on day one with the underwater search team and it was well, to be fair, here, if it's a crime scene, the area's sealed off as a crime. when you work on a drowning which they seize , then, you which they seize, then, you know, you would take you would take the area off anyway. normally type an area off and keep the public away because it's you're dealing with a drowning, a search operation where shouldn't be where the public shouldn't be allowed don't want to allowed because don't want to see what you're going to recover. so, yeah i you know,
5:39 pm
i've said about the decoy , i i've said about the decoy, i said is if nicola is not here or anywhere where we can't find her, then i've worked on cases where a phone has been a not phone. we found a stiletto shoe by a river once on a search of murder north near scunthorpe. oust ferry. and it was the shoe was laid by river by the murderer to distract the search from that area . she was actually from that area. she was actually found in a haystack miles. from that area. she was actually found in a haystack miles . and found in a haystack miles. and that's the reason i said , you that's the reason i said, you know, if she's not here and there's no sign of her anywhere over the next few days, then i be i can understand why are speculating about this. you know, you've got to keep an mind and on type of enquiry but obviously if the police have got more information and then i know about then you know that will be useful a lot of the time. on extra information too. it helps you with the search, but that might not important information. yeah i mean it would make sense
5:40 pm
wouldn't it, to give the chap with a world class so now technology the opportunity to try that to the best of his try to that to the best of his abilities. mean that would abilities. i mean that would seem obvious seem quite an obvious thing that. ask you that. can i just ask you a couple of quick ones? that's all right. i've had viewers getting in touch, samuel, just how how is river where the is the river exactly where the police to think that nicola police seem to think that nicola went and also how did you went in and also how did you come to be involved in this search? the family get in search? did the family get in touch did work ? touch with you? how did work? right. so it went out about four that they were nicola went just off from the bank is about four metres so that deep so deep enough to drown. but also a big trough and deep enough to go which police thoroughly which the police thoroughly search divers wasn't there search their divers wasn't there and searched down the river. how did we get involved? well, this search been going on. we whenever someone goes missing, we of requests. so i we get lots of requests. so i control to assist. now, we don't call the police because we're normally called we cover police diving operation is for kent essex surrey sussex valley and hampshire police so we all the official team so we get called
5:41 pm
on emergency calls and deal it straight away now in particular case this is not our area . so we case this is not our area. so we got lots of calls to control can you help this family. so we contacted the family through social media and then they then us through the police . and then us through the police. and then later on that afternoon , police later on that afternoon, police agreed that we could come up and assist them . we've been working assist them. we've been working closely ever since and that's how we actually got involved . how we actually got involved. this inquiry . how we actually got involved. this inquiry. oh, how we actually got involved. this inquiry . oh, just one final this inquiry. oh, just one final one very quickly and we'll go. yeah, well, jody , also, if you yeah, well, jody, also, if you don't mind just wasting time, just people's time. so, so are you going to be searching for a number of days or are you going to draw line into this at some point and say, look, i think enough's enough now? we're enough's enough now? yeah, we're probably be here for the next couple of days. patrick just want everything out. want to want everything out. i want to be my name to the be sure. put my name to the search that, know, we've search that, you know, we've checked everything. and search that, you know, we've cwant d everything. and search that, you know, we've cwant to everything. and search that, you know, we've cwant to make1ing. and search that, you know, we've cwant to make sure and search that, you know, we've cwant to make sure we've and search that, you know, we've cwant to make sure we've donej i want to make sure we've done the thorough job and try the most thorough job and try and bring some form of closure or or deny the river to
5:42 pm
or confirm or deny the river to the family and the police . yeah. the family and the police. yeah. look, i really appreciate look, peter, i really appreciate time. thank very much. time. thank you very much. i know you're a busy. thank you, patrick. like to get patrick. i would like to get back peter folding now. who is the ceo of a specialist group international that. international analysing that. i just what the just want to read what the police on, which is police said earlier on, which is clearly folding isn't clearly mr. folding isn't included, all the included, but that all the investigators more investigators detail any more that public that members of the public either briefing these sorts either in briefing these sorts of press conferences . and that of press conferences. and that was superintendent sally riley said that earlier at the press conference, which we took live, peter, quite clearly peter, that quite clearly saying, i am of the saying, look, i am of the information. if there's any more, would you mind telling me, i do best to look for i can do my best to look for nicola. i think we all agree nicola. i think we can all agree that probably makes sense, although can hold on although clearly we can hold on to some of page was saying that which certainly anyway he which is 30 certainly anyway he is convinced he is about as convinced as he can be that unlikely anyway be that it's unlikely anyway that she is in that river. interesting you would mean patrick on gb news. coming up, a report into counter—terrorism programme is said to find that it treats radicalism as mental it treats radicalism as a mental illness. that's nice . it. illness. oh, that's nice. it. yes, jihadi always mentally yes, that jihadi always mentally ill. so after authorities taking
5:46 pm
okay. now a, new report inquiring into the government's prevent scheme is expected to find that the is too focussed on addressing the personal vulnerable cities of extremists with terrorist treated as a mental illness . oh was he about mental illness. oh was he about to drop himself into suicide vest and was he about to detonate outside a primary school? oh, he must have a mental illness. william shawcross is set to say the prevent focus is too much on safeguarding rather than protecting the public . it soft protecting the public. it soft touch brexit. i'm absolutely of it. however, he also stresses he witnessed time and again save lives, tackle the causes of radicalisation and prevent individuals from potentially carrying acts of terrorism . so
5:47 pm
carrying acts of terrorism. so all our officials, not the threat of terrorism too seriously. with me now is david hague, who's international rights lawyer. david, thank you very much. we don't want to put too fine a point on it. i am in favour of human rights, just not really for terrorists. your view . well absolutely. i think here that the problem that you've got is that the thing to remember is that this scheme effectively it was this protect prevent scheme is the government's scheme to tackle basically radicalised leading to terrorism and what we now have is william shawcross coming with a conclusion from a report that was put place by the then home secretary it's the government scheme and the government's review saying that effectively it's not fit for purpose and that could lead to significant damage to protecting brits by simply basically , for brits by simply basically, for want of a better phrase, saying that everyone's like you said this a terrorist has a mental health illness and that simply be true. no simply can't be
5:48 pm
true. absolutely and you know, the interests of human rights, i can understand that you don't want to necessarily tarnish everyone with the same brush and prevent, by the way, it would be a nice touch if prevent was actually doing exactly it actually doing exactly what it saying on the tin. are saying on the tin. there are serious money serious allegations that money was to certain groups. you was going to certain groups. you just use that money just continue to use that money to help fund even more things and actually help indoctrinate even more people , which is the even more people, which is the opposite of what supposed opposite of what it's supposed to taxpayer was in some to do. the taxpayer was in some cases paying radicalise cases paying for radicalise asian it been alleged but asian it has been alleged but david, the human david, what about the human rights like you and i? rights of people like you and i? what about the human rights members of the public who get on the get on a surely the tube or get on a bus? surely that human have to trump the tube or get on a bus? surely that hofran have to trump the tube or get on a bus? surely that hof somebody1ave to trump the tube or get on a bus? surely that hof somebody who to trump the tube or get on a bus? surely that hof somebody who is trump the tube or get on a bus? surely that hof somebody who is evenp those of somebody who is even just frankly, being just accused of, frankly, being a member of isis. i think you've got a very, very valid now. you know, obviously will be some very vulnerable that are targeted by extremist to do acts of terrorism . but i cannot of terrorism. but i cannot imagine that that would be every one and quite rightly you said this is the government scheme
5:49 pm
designed to protect people effectively by targeting extremism. now, if we look at some of the facts that have come out in the report of the 13 biggest of the 30 last terror attacks in the uk, seven of them so more than half effectively are ones that were under review with this organisation effectively prevent . one of them effectively prevent. one of them being the murder of david amess . so could you argue the human rights of those people that have been attacked, targeted and suffered because of this scheme potentially not tackling things correctly have been abused? i would say that you could definitely . yeah, indeed. david, definitely. yeah, indeed. david, thank you very much short and sweet. but that's just the way it is at the end of this particular show, i'm afraid. david, i really appreciate your time. just have a won't be time. i just have a won't be long until i talk to you again. international human rights lawyer that david lawyer just that david amess case. really thought that tory case. i really thought that tory mp murdered by mp was suddenly murdered by a jihadi. i really thought that that a watershed that was going to be a watershed moment depressed. when moment when depressed. when one of their when one of their of their own, when one of their own the mp was slaughtered by own as the mp was slaughtered by

this individual thought be this individual thought would be a point. i was i've a turning point. and i was i've got honestly second got to honestly second really sit of amps use that sit here a lot of amps use that as a of trying to clamp on as a way of trying to clamp on things like online hate speech yeah or online hate speech is but problem was the fact but the problem was the fact that was a radical that this guy was a radical islamist jihadi that this guy was a radical islamistjihadi and that this guy was a radical islamist jihadi and was allowed to out this attack to go and carry out this attack despite known despite being known to authorities fact authorities he's not the fact that were some that people were putting some fruity out there online. but we're from that now. we're moving from that now. former first minister alex salmond his salmond has criticised his successor, sturgeon successor, nicholas sturgeon saying that agenda. i'm saying that her agenda. i'm quoting now nonsense has set independence back years . mr. independence back years. mr. salmond has accused sturgeon of adopting daft ideology imported from elsewhere as she failed to provide any clarity about whether regarded transgender rapist tyler as male or female she is joining me now i should say is alba party for calcada and cowdenbeath neil hanvey and former snp glasgow city councillor austin shouted charles, i'm just going to let you two have it out. really. i think i've done enough talking on this one for now. i will start with you, neal. do you
5:51 pm
think that nicolas sturgeon's trans ideology set back independence and yeah , i think independence and yeah, i think it's done more damage that actually i think it's damaged lgbt rights . what is and lgbt rights. what is and invariably happened is people have used the legislation or the build up this legislation to use it as a cloak to up their predation and, criminality and adam graham is just another example of that. i raised my concerns about this in 19 but certainly on some of those about katie delicto escaped who was in my constituency an assaulted a ten year old girl and was on the headunes ten year old girl and was on the headlines of newspaper saying trans women attacks a ten year old girl and it should said attacks ten year old girl and. this is really damaging to people who i about and the trans community and we must be sensible about how we protect
5:52 pm
everyone in society. we have a social construct our code says should contract that ensures that safeguarding is robust and is in place and queer theory and its adherents are damaging that by their actions . okay. all by their actions. okay. all right. well i will just throw that over to you , austin. second that over to you, austin. second question really is nicola trans push , as it were, damage the push, as it were, damage the calls, independence . no, calls, independence. no, certainly hasn't. i find alex roberts comments you know to to be action with swords to one should a form for someone to stop but speak about giving people rights and as you know as daft ideology . i'm so full and daft ideology. i'm so full and i felt that that was extreme . so felt that that was extreme. so once we went to see the other part, it was constructed order to oppose geordie legislation. every single one of the candidates and opposed
5:53 pm
legislation during . the scottish legislation during. the scottish parliament election campaign . parliament election campaign. the reason that not was done, i believe, was because salmond as a person went down against the first minister. he has tried to use this as and to essentially try and damage the credibility of that first option. but i can tell you something at work and alex dobbin said it was like an angry old man is true to the party that has racists that has homophobes and transphobes and you cover scotland the people scotland reject the every time at the polls and you get nominated. i got ousted. some would argue , though, that the would argue, though, that the opinion polls would suggest the vast majority of scots do not back the groper . some quite back the groper. some quite strong allegations that are about racism and homophobia within your party. i have to let you come back to that brilliantly, absolutely ludicrous nonsense from us. then straight whiskers play by. it's quite embarrassing to . hear him quite embarrassing to. hear him speak about fellow and the way
5:54 pm
that he just has. we are a party that he just has. we are a party that founded on the principle of moving independence forward that conversation has been sidelined because of the first minister's absurd west gender politics and it has damaged independence movement and put people in a very difficult situation support of them. when it was first formed from i'm going to get you are going to get enough from that neil because i've only got a few seconds, i'm afraid. austin very quickly, very, very quickly. if you had to choose, if you had said, i'll stay if you wanted choose you you wanted choose between if you want choose . independence want to choose. independence party , everybody would support party, everybody would support because any johnny has populist wanted to campaign against us. you had candidates and anthem all that all gone but to be honest it's just too angry scottish men shouting at each other. now we're going to leave. get them off. yes. thank you very much about time to grieve. neil hamby there, former snp
