the latest they just shot it. in the latest they just shot it. in the days since this high altitude balloon was shot down over the south carolina coast, nonh over the south carolina coast, north american air defences have been on heightened alert. north american air defences have been on heightened alert . the been on heightened alert. the alleged chinese spy balloon was destroyed us missile after was observed loitering over sensitive areas for several days. us. military is now examining the wreckage recovered from the atlantic . officials from the atlantic. officials have far said nothing about what they found, but they haven't ruled back from their claims. the balloon was a spying mission and now the downing of three other unidentified objects over the us and canada. over the weekend has only deepened the mystery and significantly raised tensions between washington and beijing with the chinese . the us beijing with the chinese. the us of complete overreaction . well of complete overreaction. well vanity. we've already said many times that the chinese unmanned

civilian airship that strayed into us. airspace was a complete accident . as for the complete accident. as for the other so—called unidentified flying objects, i have no knowledge of these. but what we want to tell everyone is that the us. is frequent firing of advanced missiles to strike unidentified flying objects is an overreaction of excessive , of an overreaction of excessive, of sheer. an overreaction of excessive, of sheer . the chinese have now also sheer. the chinese have now also claimed that their military radar systems detected ten balloons over their airspace in recent months, pointing the finger of blame at the us the concerns over the possible use of spy over western airspace has prompted the uk government to launch a review . security over launch a review. security over britain's airspace. with the prime confirming that ari , prime confirming that ari, typhoons start ready to react at short notice. well, i want people to know that we'll do whatever it takes to keep the country. we have something called the quick reaction alert

force, which involves typhoon planes which are kept on 24 seven readiness to police airspace, which is incredibly important. i can't obviously comment detail on national security matters . we're in security matters. we're in constant touch with our allies . constant touch with our allies. the us has said very little about the latest incidents , only about the latest incidents, only that the objects were far smaller than the suspected chinese balloon. that's only fuelled speculation about possible origin, with the pentagon even being asked to , pentagon even being asked to, rule out an alien origin . now i rule out an alien origin. now i haven't ruled out anything at this point. we continue assess every threat or potential threat unknown that approaches. north america with the intent to identify . the uk government is identify. the uk government is refusing to comment on whether any objects have been detected over british airspace in recent months . but over british airspace in recent months. but quick reaction fighters remain on alert to respond , should the need arise . respond, should the need arise. mark white gb news news okay.

people will pleased say that i want me in the studio now . our want me in the studio now. our home and security editor mark lots of accusations being thrown out here. aliens the start of world war three. standard military espionage. what is ? military espionage. what is? well the military authorities in the us, if they do know they're not telling us, i'm sure for good reason from their part, they have said course that first incident of , the balloon that incident of, the balloon that was hovering over us for at least seven days event really shot down off the us coast was they believe a chinese spy balloon . the chinese have balloon. the chinese have admitted it was there, but they've said it was a weather gathering data balloon. they've also claimed responsibility for also claimed responsibility for a balloon that flew over a colombian airspace as well. these three latest incidents

happened over the weekend, three in the space of three days. they've not attributed the military authorities in the us have not attributed those particular objects to. any country so clear any given that there is a void. people have been speculating and you have there within the piece that you asked general willing to rule out even aliens as a you know an origin. i'm glad you brought it , gary, because our very theory as editor of home and security here about why is open the alien door for us now ladies and gentlemen interesting that they are not deciding to necessarily rule out the little green men just yet. speculation mounts, but because not of these objects have been a quote close you know weather balloon spy balloons humpday some rumours about or not they're kind of these little tic tac shaped ones with their own propulsion system and of own propulsion system and all of that stuff. yeah. i mean, i think because one of the objects

that was spotted was described as being octagonal in shape. another cylindrical with , no another cylindrical with, no apparent means propulsion that the pilots who shot these objects down could see. of course , it's intriguing. it's course, it's intriguing. it's very to be extraterrestrial in origin . you know, the very fact origin. you know, the very fact that the us are not ruling it out allows this sort of speculation but more likely and sources actually suggest citing this it's being quoted actually by us news channels that there are more likely to be potentially weather gathering. yes. and seize these latest three that are being shown. and people, of course are, i think, rightly concerned about the geopolitical turmoil that world appears to be in now. i think we've been predicting the start of world war three for well, probably of world probably since the end of world war so let's

war two, actually. so let's not ahead ourselves much. but ahead of ourselves too much. but clearly the russia situation has increased concerns clearly the russia situation has increa some concerns clearly the russia situation has increa some kind concerns clearly the russia situation has increa some kind of:oncerns clearly the russia situation has increa some kind of nuclear about some kind of nuclear holocaust. and then we up holocaust. and then we end up with china course posturing taiwan. now, if indeed these are chinese government related objects, the chinese government , they've hit back and they've said, well, we shoot things like this down all the time, bits of tit for tat as far as they're concerned, how worried should people be now that we see what's going on in ukraine we see going on in ukraine and we see that allegedly china is now on some of manoeuvres over the some kind of manoeuvres over the us? i think people should be concerned there is a greater instability in teenage , instability in teenage, particularly between the west and russia of course, because of what's happening in of late. but china in china was as a strategic challenge for the uk. we had transport minister on this morning describing them as hostile in sense. so there is

strategic review that is underway , there's a security underway, there's a security review quite fought . china will review quite fought. china will be determined to pose that we await see but there is absolutely a concern about the way in which china is conducted itself of late both in terms of itself of late both in terms of its political reach but also militarily in recent years. and taiwan of course, being one of these areas where a great deal of concern about potential for some kind of conflict down the road. obviously, mark, he'll be back before we know it. thank you very much. that our homeland security editor. well, let's turn now to much more local matters and. we know a lot, don't we, about asylum seeker hotels and the channel migrant. we talk about a huge amount on this channel on this particular show and i make no excuses for doing the i was concern and if annoyingly and disappointingly is not surprised to read over the weekend and it was insofar tonight of course and then of

course the week and really about the incident. now i'm sure you're aware of it, a you're well aware of it, say a merseyside which houses merseyside hotel which houses asylum seekers so 15 people were arrested after . a protest arrested after. a protest outside the hotel turned violent with a police van being set on. it did happen on friday. now there are reports that some of there are reports that some of the migrants being housed in a hotel are fearful to go . now, hotel are fearful to go. now, we're going to be talking about this numerous different points across this show. and i want to make one thing very, very clear from. the start, of course, any kind violence or any kind of kind of violence or any kind of aggression. and in that sense lawlessness, really intimidation , we , completely unacceptable. we all anyone with a all know that anyone with a brain that but it does brain knows that but it does open up a wider discussion it. we all go outside and just we can all go outside and just read temperature read the temperature of this particular and particular country and understand there appears to understand that there appears to be rising . i would be tensions rising. i would suggest in a lot of places certainly massive, massive concerns . and i wanted to get to concerns. and i wanted to get to the bottom about why people feeling so angry. do they have a right to feel angry, what's really going on and who is to blame of this stuff? and

blame for all of this stuff? and joining me now is barrister rebecca butler. rebecca, it's great have you show. great to have you on the show. thank you much. no, you thank you very much. no, you take a interest, this kind take a keen interest, this kind of indeed do i. i'll of stuff as indeed do i. i'll just emphasise again before we launch ourselves into this discussion , of course, kind discussion, of course, any kind of and lawlessness, of violence and lawlessness, etcetera wrong. etcetera is completely wrong. but massive surprise to but is it a massive surprise to you that situations like the one at the knowsley hotel have occurred ? absolutely not at all. occurred? absolutely not at all. and for some of the more liberal commentators , kate, is to blame commentators, kate, is to blame the government. i also think is unfair, because it is a wider problem , and it really does problem, and it really does merit repeating many times over that the poorest people , society that the poorest people, society are always expected to pick up the greatest burden when it comes to migration. there is nothing wrong with migration. people britain do not object to migration , but it is the rate of

migration, but it is the rate of change that is the problem and the government has not been able to address post—brexit the return of illegal migrants. we're getting there . but because we're getting there. but because they so far haven't been to do it, people in places like liverpool and, it's not the only place and there will be riots. i predict people are getting fed because they're not being listened . it's not just about listened. it's not just about rebecca. sorry to cut in here, but i think it's really point that you're making, which is people are not, in my view anyway against immigration . all anyway against immigration. all it's potentially it's the mismanagement it i think that really gets to people and it's the haphazard nature and you said i think if people feel threatened and if people feel as though things are potentially negative and they feel unsafe , negative and they feel unsafe, then of course, it can become a very volatile situation . and i'm very volatile situation. and i'm not excusing any of the behaviour that went on, but i think plenty of people in my

view, rebecca, in the media are completely burying their heads in the sand and going, oh, isn't this outrage without actually in the sand and going, oh, isn't thiwhy outrage without actually in the sand and going, oh, isn't thiwhy sometimes:hout actually in the sand and going, oh, isn't thiwhy sometimes this actually in the sand and going, oh, isn't thiwhy sometimes this stuffally at why sometimes this stuff happens and? you said that in your view you think that maybe stuff like this is going to keep happening. i mean, that should be a very, very concerning warning for our government that they've got to sort this out . they've got to sort this out. yeah.i they've got to sort this out. yeah. i mean, you know , you yeah. i mean, you know, you probably aware that i was very much an activist for the grooming scandal that happened in rotherham , oldham, telford in rotherham, oldham, telford and a few clients go to from those areas . and the problem those areas. and the problem with that was that when you started to raise the flag you got shot down as being a racist and i'm talking about you know in the early days of being activist about what was going on people shut you down in flames and the people who shoot you down in flames tend to be from the upper middle class. you the media elite types. and i, i don't include you in that pot chicken. i don't include gb news

and that but you know, you get shot down as a racist and you get silenced and then eventually the truth actually does come out . it turns out you were right along. now, the problem is narratives develop . so, for narratives develop. so, for example, this has been characterised as a extreme right wing problem , as though wing problem, as though liverpool , even though it's liverpool, even though it's a labour council , labour, labour labour council, labour, labour mp , suddenly it's extra mean far mp, suddenly it's extra mean far right problem . what your viewers right problem. what your viewers don't realise perhaps is that the communist of great britain put out a tweet three days before the protest sparked this riot . and the tweet said calling riot. and the tweet said calling all anti—fascist posts. so that would include you and me . yeah, would include you and me. yeah, and calling all anti—fascist to go to liverpool to fight fascism . now that's a communist party is basically organising their

own counter counter protest so nobody mentions the far left wing have also contributed to the problem i'm not so i think because what i think is what we're back to you a cracking point now which is that if have very genuine and legitimate concerns and those concerns start out as a little like a little acorn and. they keep gently raising them and then people keep slapping them down like i know you're frothing racist. you can't that. racist. no, you can't say that. you cause think they feel you cause i think they feel silenced in, silenced and they feel boxed in, and then happens, and and then nothing happens, and then all of a sudden, then boom, all of a sudden, things off. course , yet things kick off. of course, yet again, condoning fact again, not condoning the fact they kicked i'm just they have kicked off. i'm just saying to take a look at saying we have to take a look at some reasons why rebekah some of the reasons why rebekah i could talk to you all day about this. i'm strong enough to cut it short because i've got. and been you've been and you've been you've been pushed for ian pushed to one side for ian duncan's smith a second here duncan's smith for a second here rebecca. a talking rebecca. but it was a talking about that that's taken about that incident that's taken place she said. place in liverpool, she said. unfortunately she doesn't think he's the last now he's going to be the last now a story that very much links to

lead today. so we kind of got a bit of and forth here, but bit of back and forth here, but the thought that china could be spying the rest the world, spying the rest of the world, it's thought. it's not really a thought. i mean what we all know. but mean it's what we all know. but this afternoon are growing this afternoon calls are growing to an invitation to reverse an invitation to a senior politician visit the senior politician to visit the uk. irking tony house who uk. now irking tony house who was governor of the chinese was the governor of the chinese of xinjiang is expected meet of xinjiang is expected to meet senior foreign officials today. now jiang is at the of now shin jiang is at the of international condemnation over the the weaker the treatment of the weaker muslims. people have been alleging concentration alleging that it's concentration camps . there's all sorts of camps. there's all sorts of really nasty horrible stuff going there and going on over there and widespread evidence shows that that basically place that was basically taking place , forced sterilisation , including forced sterilisation , claims of harvesting, , claims of organ harvesting, you . it's a shocker. well, you name. it's a shocker. well, today , protesters are today, protesters are demonstrating outside the foreign group of mp suggested that you should be arrested. look, let's go live to conservative mp for malaysia, iain duncan smith. he was asked that westminster and that protest in westminster and thank rather thank you very much, rather a lot for to go out today. my lot for us to go out today. my government actually there is this, this protest. this, of course, this protest. do mind just before we get do you mind just before we get stuck into that? i have a quick chat about your views chat with you about your views about going terms of

about been going on in terms of some spy believes that some these spy believes that such now incredibly such as should we now incredibly incredibly china . well incredibly scared of china. well i think we first of all have to start by recognising what china is . china is, start by recognising what china is. china is, as the prime minister originally said, a systemic threat us and the way we live our lives, not just in the uk but across the free world they believe that their system of oppression , a dictatorial of oppression, a dictatorial communist government. of oppression, a dictatorial communist government . brooks no communist government. brooks no dissent , arrests those who dissent, arrests those who disagree . in dissent, arrests those who disagree. in this dissent, arrests those who disagree . in this case, we've disagree. in this case, we've see they followed genocide. they've organ harvesting, all the things you talked earlier on, they've invaded the south china seas. they threatening to invade taiwan . and here the invade taiwan. and here the genocide that exists of the weaker or as the united nations has put it, a huge human rights violation taking place in their crime of all crimes. violation taking place in their crime of all crimes . this is not crime of all crimes. this is not a country that you easily do business with and turn a blind

eye. so the problem we've got across all of these spheres is because the uk industry was to rush to china to do so much business. we've become very dependent, which means have become quite weak about their response to the chinese threat. the concern i think a lot of people now is whether not it's already gone too far. have we already gone too far. have we already hit that tipping point? we were very soft and some would say not you personally, of course, but of people, as course, but a lot of people, as you've alluded to, were incredibly naive about our relationship with , china and the relationship with, china and the way maybe they viewed us way that maybe they viewed us with a bit too nice. with potentially a bit too nice. but the fact is we have been now for a very long time and here we we've protests about we've got protests about a genocide taking place and those protests got protests are behind. we've got massive potential spying issues. i huge national security i mean, huge national security threats and international security . i threats and international security. i mean, threats and international security . i mean, you could see security. i mean, you could see this coming a mile here. what we did and i think the problem is to try and deal with countries as they are not as you wish they would be. and the problem was

originally we started this road thinking that china would be by access to the free market, they would become somehow more likely to be a democracy . that is a to be a democracy. that is a very false concept. and it didn't . if anything, president didn't. if anything, president xi has tightened up dramatically , you know, he's getting rid an ethnic group or trying to get rid of an group. the weaker from xinjiang, because they disagree him and they don't want to live lives in accordance with the way he decrees that they should do. and there are all these other groups. so the point for the uk is we have to of course face up to china and, say this is unacceptable . you cannot have unacceptable. you cannot have all of the access to the market. you cannot disrupt of that at the same time as abuse. everything else. so we to everything else. so we need to stand the on this. the stand the americans on this. the americans sanctioned for the abuses in xinjiang, the genocide that we believe is being committed there. they have sanctioned way people than we have an important lee they've sanctioned two of the key

architects of this oppression a man chen congo and this present governor who is was his deputy is now the governor of xinjiang. though the two of them are not sanctioned by the uk. i have never understood because they are directly responsible. we sanctioned about four much more junior people . and so the key junior people. and so the key thing is we need to make it clear to them so, this chap, the governor of xinjiang is coming in so he plans to do to the uk and he been told if he comes in he will be allowed to visit with some foreign office official . some foreign office official. no, i don't want him here in the first place we should have sanctioned him which would have stopped him. but secondly to allow him to meet with the foreign office official is a major coup, propaganda for major coup, propaganda coup for the chinese government because it we're what they do it looks like we're what they do and we shouldn't be in that situation . so the toughest situation. so the toughest message you can send is not a chat over , a cup of tea. the

chat over, a cup of tea. the toughest message can send is to sanction those who are responsible for this abuse. people behind me whose families are incarcerated who've lost touch with their children , whose touch with their children, whose whose mothers and, whose sisters and wives are forcibly sterilised in xinjiang . we sterilised in xinjiang. we should have no approval at all by seeing a man like that. should have no approval at all by seeing a man like that . he by seeing a man like that. he should have been sanctioned. he should have been sanctioned. he should not be welcome here . should not be welcome here. thank you very much. and i think as for lot of people as well, for a lot of people watching and listening to this on you up everything that on if you up everything that you've just rattled there you've just rattled off there and the things that we're talking about and the other things talking about things that we're talking about in well with in this show as well with regards these spy balloons regards to these spy balloons or whatever the thing great sent me is idea that the chinese is the idea that the chinese government at government is just laughing at us. and that really worries me. i mean, thank you very, very much. and duncan smith mp, former leader. i don't know why we're so soft and i he and duncan smith for a very long time has been really fighting the good fight when it comes to not pushed around by the chinese

government but that we go always make christys news. make patrick christys tv news. coming up, week search coming up, the two week search for bailey has thrown up for nicola bailey has thrown up very clues as to what very few clues as to what happened to the missing mum of two. now i think really intriguing this case now and we're going delve into it and i'm just put the focus i'm just going to put the focus the police actually because clearly they've nowhere with clearly they've got nowhere with it. are it. why the family are up in arms it. friends are up in arms about it. friends are up in arms about it. friends are up in arms about, say everyone at home is concerned going on. is concerned what is going on. why the police not cracked why have the police not cracked this hear from this? we'll hear more from a senior on how he writes senior police on how he writes the police of inquiry back the police lines of inquiry back in tech .

3:32. his the latest from the gb news stream. the prime minister has refused to say if spy balloons have been spotted over the uk. it comes after us shot down a fourth object over north america defence secretary ben

be right back. right. i will indeed be back right now. now, handwritten messages on yellow ribbons have been left for missing mother nicola bailey . the search has been underway for 17 days and police are still the hypothesis that the mother of two could have fallen in the river. wyre as they continue to examine the area towards the sea. and of course morecambe bay. well look, initially i think every single person of course reserve judgement and very very very cautious about discussing this particular topic. we don't want the need for rampant and in some may be dangerous and quite offensive speculate action but it is a pretty straightforward matter in some senses which is were the right all the police right to focus on the river or not. and now increasingly the noises are coming out going has something been a bit bungled here when it comes to this investigation and i think right now to turn a bit

of focus and a bit of attention directly, the way that the police , as we say, 17 days on police, as we say, 17 days on with no results. and to turn the focus to the police, really. so simon harding is a former senior investigating officer at the met police and he joins me now. simon you very much. of simon thank you very much. of the mess up . i think the police mess this up. i think there's i think there's things really for me. one is the biggest problem that people started to recognise . that was started to recognise. that was the messaging and. you know, you have different hypotheses is you have different hypotheses is you have to keep an open mind when you go down one particular route, which they have them at the start, which is the idea that she's got into the it was almost personal so that was the kind of hypothesis they were following . and one of the following. and one of the dangers of that, especially when you don't necessarily know everything that point or in this particular case, my presumption was when they were saying that they could they could say whether or not nicola had ever that area. they could say that the whole area was covered by

cctv or witnesses or whatever it might be that they were 100% certain, 100% sure that she had left the area. if you now found out that actually there are gaps in that kind of area. then then putting out the messaging that you sure an accident. what you sure it's an accident. what that is that a something that does is that a something that does is that a something that people's minds where they think well i don't need tell you about something suspicious because it's an accident i don't need to mention the suspicious people or the vehicle or that i saw. can i just because it comes into that because i think it's a really useful point to drill down on because you're obviously deep up on initially it was basically look she's she's gone into we're pretty into the river we're pretty adamant about this. there is maybe ten window that maybe a ten minute window that we and there we can't account and there appears way out of appears to be one way out of this particular place of land that isn't covered by tv. but people have got doorbells people have got ring doorbells and dash footage. so we're and dash cam footage. so we're basically wasn't there. basically. she wasn't there. well, here we are with well, no, here we are with apparently around three cctv black spots and potentially a missing two hour window. actually and people are thinking, well, on earth

thinking, well, how on earth does this happen? and it starts to, look, i'm not we've come to lancashire by the way, lancashire police, by the way, for go for what it's worth, i'll go back to so it starts to look back to it. so it starts to look a little like rightly or a little bit like rightly or wrongly, they had a wrongly, maybe they had a hypothesis they hypothesis is they realised they were bit wrong about were maybe a bit wrong about that and then they're trying to kind of cover up a bit. yeah. and honesty is the best and i think honesty is the best policy now especially in policing. you know if, if you've got or you just got something wrong or you just maybe jumped too quickly, come back and reset, say right, you know , that's, that's, that's get know, that's, that's, that's get a grip for this again. but i think the important of think the important parts of that make as well in that point to make as well in the there be the background there will be there is an asio senior there is an asio a senior investigating officer with a team of detectives who will be doing and working around the clock find her. and i clock to try and find her. and i think there's think i think there's a difference there, the messaging think i think there's a di'wronge there, the messaging think i think there's a di'wronge tithe the messaging think i think there's a di'wronge tithe work�*nessaging think i think there's a di'wronge tithe work behind ng think i think there's a di'wronge tithe work behind the is wrong for the work behind the scenes but the scenes is going on. but the problem have is are you playing catch up now the thing you know you've as you say 17 days you've got as you say 17 days and again scene for me as well and again scene for me as well and you're showing pictures now of the bench and everything else in a missing person's enquiry

somebody would have gone to where she was and at that point in that kind of scenario that you've been presented with that part should have been shot and even if it's been walked through for a couple of days shut it because you don't what else because you don't know what else is you don't know what's is about you don't know what's been areas . and been dropped in other areas. and that's thing i've that's the one thing i've probably seen kind of probably not seen that kind of code and mentality to say, code and that mentality to say, yeah, let's mate, we have got everything out this that we everything out of this that we possibly and if there's possibly need and if there's nothing there's nothing there, well there's nothing there, well there's nothing but that is that nothing there but that is that is strange, right? that is strange. just a strange. i mean, i'm just a complete when to complete layman when comes to police know what police stuff. i you know what crime documentaries as much the next person that why my knowledge of stuff knowledge on this kind of stuff stops but you always see normally fenced you normally things fenced off you huge areas etc. huge protective areas etc. people forensically looking for evidence and combing things , you evidence and combing things, you know, blades of grass almost . so know, blades of grass almost. so the slight little most minute bits of evidence you possibly have and it doesn't really appear that we necessarily had that the stretch of river that was the stretch of river search diver search and the independent diver paul folding who was basically saying look actually you know

this we don't think she's in here. just in the other of this. very quickly , if something else very quickly, if something else has happened to her, i.e. she's been taken , how likely is it been taken, how likely is it someone would be able to actually hide that the police in this day and age ? i mean, yeah, this day and age? i mean, yeah, that's a difficult , this day and age? i mean, yeah, that's a difficult, isn't this day and age? i mean, yeah, that's a difficult , isn't it? this day and age? i mean, yeah, that's a difficult, isn't it? i mean , 175,000 plus people go mean, 175,000 plus people go missing year. you know why a lot of them been found. so, you know and all those families i'm sure those people would love this kind of attention. well and there but i think this has been created by by the messaging, you know, and i it's made more know, and i think it's made more difficult the fact difficult by the fact that you've you be playing you've got you might be playing catch now. i think catch up now. and i don't think i think messaging sometimes i think the messaging sometimes too corporate and not messaging about actually what about reassurance actually what you've is create the you've done is create the opposite you've now created the thing where if you were 100% sure that she had got in the river, then the family would know why. they would know why.

you're 100% sure and therefore family not by then family would not react by then going on the going and standing on the roadside trying get people's roadside trying to get people's dashcams because they would know the that being the information that is being put them from the put through to them from the senior through senior officer through to families. so it's these families. no. so it's these people worked very, very hard to keep board with them keep families on board with them and they're not satisfied. and i know people thought it was to do with didn't they? with the fitbit, didn't they? initially, was allegedly to initially, she was allegedly to fold. way, is the fold. and by the way, is the diver, as i said diver, not paul. as i said earlier, people thought it was the didn't they? that would have shown mean, it shown stuff. well, i mean, it would imply now that not really the the family is the case if indeed the family is still look, i could still going said, look, i could talk to you all day about this kind of stuff, but well, i'm sure we'll to you about it sure we'll talk to you about it again soon, unless, of course, we kind of resolution we get some kind of resolution to this case. simon thank you. simon senior simon harding, former senior investigator, simon harding, former senior investi at :or, met police right officer at the met police right now on okay final art now moving on okay final art fine wine lovers but enough about tom harwood flats a labour party study on government debit cards has claimed a lavish culture in the civil service, has seen taxpayers money wasted

on fine arts as well as fine dining. in a document titled the p files , the opposition included p files, the opposition included examples of where foreign office officials spent almost hundred and 45 grand on dining and alcohol purchases in 2021 alone. now, this sounds like a heck of a lot of money. it is important thing to note at this point that one of the big cheerleaders against of this is angela raynen against of this is angela rayner, of course, angela, rayner, of course, and angela, i really are enjoying really hope you are enjoying all of the taxpayer apple of the taxpayer funded apple products that you have. joining me gb political me now is gb news political correspondent of exquisite taste is tom harwood. tom, how bad is this just normal spending. it's important note what's going important to note what's going on. something called a on. there's something called a c a procurement card . now, these a procurement card. now, these are cards not held by polity or ministers, but by members . the ministers, but by members. the civil service, senior members of a service to streamline procurement within the civil service . they were introduced by service. they were introduced by tony blair back in 1997. and to be fair, subsequent have kept them because they streamline this process a lot . the this process a lot. the government says that the

taxpayer actually saves 35% on every transaction used by these cards rather than a normal expenses system of form, filling and bureaucracy . these can and bureaucracy. these can actually save money if used correctly. so labour should be angry at the civil service, not the government. well, the interesting thing is that we've now got a compilation of all of these different items in one place. these have been published in a more transparent way and that's a good thing for journalism and for open . we can journalism and for open. we can see this money's going. now some of these purchases, you'd think legitimate and you'd think that the government for example in embassies around the world might want to be hosting hospitality. we might want throw a for party diplomats in washington, dc. one of these items was actually a pink . so just such a party a pink. so just such a party inviting in diplomats and politicians in washington dc. well, you could argue that was a good use of you could argue that was a bad use of money. soft

power is very hard to define, but the good thing is it's out in the open and we can have these sorts of discussion. okay. alright, interesting. of course, we'll about this. of we'll be talking about this. of course, show. cruise course, the show. tom cruise to have on. very, very have you on. you very, very much. harwood, that's pink much. tom harwood, that's pink photo not first photo booths. not for the first time. be the last. also time. it won't be the last. also me now is taxpayers alliance investor jason's campaign manager elliot is manager is elliot kak. elliot is that now? good stuff. i didn't know. look, some people are saying this is massive waste of taxpayers money. we're in of taxpayers money. we're in the of a of living crisis. it's an a cost of living crisis. it's an absolute shocker. other people a cost of living crisis. it's an abs sayinghocker. other people a cost of living crisis. it's an abs sayinghockewe ither people a cost of living crisis. it's an abs sayinghockewe arer people a cost of living crisis. it's an abs sayinghockewe are great le are saying well we are great britain and we want to give a relatively decent account of ourselves. we don't want people eating and they meet eating bread and when they meet with what's your with diplomats. what's your take? i think is incredibly useful and research and it demonstrates something that we've about for we've been talking about for a long time that you save the long time that if you save the pennies, the parents will save themselves. and this is something all households something that all households understand we're understand. you know, we're going crisis going through a living crisis now up and down now and people up and down the country looking bills country looking at their bills and thinking, you know, maybe i should cancel that. subscribe and thinking, you know, maybe i shotservice.al that. subscribe and thinking, you know, maybe i shotservice.al that. i'>ubscribe and thinking, you know, maybe i shotservice.al that. i should e and service. maybe i should start the off branded stuff and

say households, understand what it's looking the it's like to be looking at the smaller items and spending and recognising that they really, really add up. i think what really add up. and i think what this information reveals that this information reveals is that government ministers and government ministers and government servants have government civil servants have quite but this is now quite that same. but this is now you i'm a big fan of you know me, i'm a big fan of the blame game. we always have to have someone to point the finger at and go, this is your fault. and i am a bit sick and tired and. by the way, i will tired of and. by the way, i will be this if it wasn't the be saying this if it wasn't the tories power as well. a tories in power as well. i'm a bit sick and tired of the government being blamed for absolutely people absolutely everything. people are jobs are employed do jobs at management throughout management levels throughout the country. for country. take the nhs for example everything that example and not everything that goes wrong and every example and not everything that of waste is. the specific minister's fault. so when i look at this now, is this civil service people splashing the on ministers who have got in—tray as long as your arm not on top of the fact that you know derek h.r. or whatever is racking up bills on on you fancy fizzy champagne . who's to blame . i champagne. who's to blame. i really think and this may sound

sound like a cop out, but i really do think the problem is a broader attitude in the public sector, a bureaucracy. so i don't it's necessarily a attach to any single party. some people might look at the debate, for example, the london administration spends money and, then some people might look at how the administration whitehall spends money and say there is huge, huge waste endemic throughout the sector, throughout the public sector, whether it's the nhs, whether it's and i attach it's local councils and i attach buy any specific or even buy into any specific or even any specific individual necessarily. it's really about this broad culture where, you know, as i said before, i do not think about the pennies. so inevitably pounds rack . inevitably the pounds rack. okay. interesting as okay. and it's interesting as well. angela rayner she's i'll paint arms about if she's fuming mean it's not the tories you presided over some rather interesting expenses claims is it . no of course not. people of it. no of course not. people of i pointed out that angela rayner spent a lot of money on various apple items . i think that's apple items. i think that's absolutely right to point that out. think really whether it's politicians , are civil

politicians, whether are civil servants it's council servants or whether it's council mlas, whether it's a nhs, health bosses, people up and down the country, right throughout the pubuc country, right throughout the public are not looking the money that they coming into them and not remembering that this is taxpayers money, it's precious funds. and most importantly it's limited. yes look, thank you very much. always a pleasure, eliot. character he is of the taxpayers alliance . his their taxpayers alliance. his their investigations campaign manager. are you particularly angry , all are you particularly angry, all of this stuff? i get the fact that the optics of this are awful, by the way, and undoubtedly is some waste, especially when surrounds especially when it surrounds financial wine. i do. financial and fine wine. i do. i do get all of that. but there are i would argue, other bigger things that government and things that the government and everybody else is wasting a lot of money on. but it would mean patrick christys news. patrick christys on gb news. coming book contains coming up, any book contains claims than a thousand claims that more than a thousand children were prescribed puberty blockers tavistock centre blockers at the tavistock centre after just one face to face meeting. so one face to face meeting. so one face to face meeting. bang on puberty blockers. has been accused of blockers. it has been accused of being like some kind of east

german doping centre like we had back in the day. of course they will of this. discuss will deny of this. we'll discuss that i'll be back in a sec that next. i'll be back in a sec

all right. wonderful people. i've just been i've got two stories to do in only 8 minutes to do it. so let's crack on. a new book contains shocking that more than a thousand children were prescribed puberty at the controversial tavistock centre and young people were and details young people were given such after just and details young people were given such afterjust one and details young people were given such after just one face to face appointment. so your child goes to this particular clinic , one meeting, bang, clinic, one meeting, bang, you're on puberty . the you're on puberty. the experimental gender will close its doors in spring. this year after a review found that it was fit for purpose in the long psychotherapist and founder gender critical organisation jens beck stella o'malley joins me now . stella, thank you very me now. stella, thank you very much . this tavistock clinic has much. this tavistock clinic has been compared to some kind of

east german doping centre. is that fact . well, i don't know that fact. well, i don't know what an east german doping centre was like, but i do that the tavistock centre did that. the tavistock was incredibly reckless and irresponsible in how they treated these very young and very vulnerable people who came them in distress and it's very normal and almost healthy engage in an identity exploration in your teenage years and yet these children who very often you know autistic or they had many other kind of other challenges were put on a fast track and their identities were medicalized very fast with puberty blockers , which then put puberty blockers, which then put them on a train onto cross—sex hormones, misstepped maze and a very medicalized life for the rest of their life , when rest of their life, when actually they could have just a process of therapy and explore their identity. they don't need to be on this. some people shy

away from question because it is away from question because it is a bit of an uncomfortable and can be a minefield to phrase correctly, which i may well not be about to do. but you alluded there children with other there to children with other needs, i.e. or asperger's or , needs, i.e. or asperger's or, things like that, and just told about that in relation to this particular story. because then there will be concern for people. yeah, that's a huge concern . and i'm glad you concern. and i'm glad you brought it up. they studies on the on numbers of the children who were treated in the tavistock in one study in the tavistock in one study in the tavistock jude's there was 48% who were actually diagnosed autism. but it's not just autism , adhd, eating disorders a significant proportion of them have been bullied. a huge of them have been in trauma . in one them have been in trauma. in one study, it was of this cohort , study, it was of this cohort, 13% of them were in care . this 13% of them were in care. this is a highly vulnerable of people we're talking, but these are not people who needed fast track to medicalisation. they needed care . a gentle, cautious treatment.

and this is possibly the big question, which is was in your view, the tavistock clinic idea logically led or medically tailored ? i think without a tailored? i think without a doubt has been ideologically led , has also been pushed and propelled by lobby groups such as mermaids that. quite clearly had their own idea about how to treat these kids rather than the doctors to just provide clinical care lobbyists , activists care lobbyists, activists influenced clinical care. well, thatis influenced clinical care. well, that is an absolute shocker. thank you very much, stella. i'm sorry. so short and sweet , but i sorry. so short and sweet, but i think we managed to get to the nub of the issue that stella o'malley that who is the and founder, of course, as well gender critical organisation jens but i'm to go now to a statement from tavistock and portman nhs foundation trust. they said the gender identity development works on a case by case basis with every young person on their family working thoughtfully holistically thoughtfully and holistically with them to explore their

situation. we know of what the right outcome for them might be. only the minority of young people the service people seeing the service are referred for any physical interventions the tavistock interventions at the tavistock and wholeheartedly and portman. we wholeheartedly support to raise support our staff to raise concerns and have recently strengthened our mechanisms doing so. concerns relating to young people's wellbeing are taken seriously and investigated, right? well, the terms and conditions of the terms and conditions out of the way it's been reported way now it's been reported moving that companies moving on that water companies could avoid fines for could avoid huge fines for spilling raw sewage uk's spilling raw sewage into uk's waterways . environment secretary waterways. environment secretary theresa coffey is said to be considering reducing the level of fines which can . reac h £250 of fines which can. reach £250 million because she feels that disproportionate. a consultation is due this spring when such penalties be considered to shed more light on this, i'm joined now by lead campaigner we own it . who is john bosco on walkabout. thank you very, very great to have you on the show. and how do you feel about this? i mean, some are saying, well, we to entice these we need to entice these companies to stick around over other are you're pumping

other are saying you're pumping raw to our waterways and raw sewage to our waterways and you need fined to heaven . you need to be fined to heaven. i don't necessarily i've seen anybody suggest that we need to enfice anybody suggest that we need to entice private water companies to continue to run the service i think that the vast majority of people are essentially saying why do we have these private water companies sucking profits out of the system pouring sewage into our rivers and seas without any consequences at all? and i mean, at the moment we're talking about the consequences . talking about the consequences. let's think about the fact that last year private water companies made almost £3 billion in profit of 2021. they made companies made almost £3 billion in profit of 2021. they mad e £3 in profit of 2021. they made £3 billion in profits. today, the government has been touting that the way levied charges about £101 million in 2021. that is in effect . 3.5% charge on profits effect. 35% charge on profits for pouring sewage into suppose this is an interesting bit isn't it? and this is this is really the crucial, which is there's nothing with anyone making

absolutely massive profits good business and we need people like in this country the problem would be is if they are causing massive widespread potentially irreversible ecological damage to our waterways, are they doing that. to our waterways, are they doing that . they are. but to our waterways, are they doing that. they are. but i did want to challenge a little bit what you said earlier, obviously, when water was privatised in 1989, we were told that the result of that would be higher quality water, a higher quality of our rivers and seas, but also water bills for families. but we have seen then is that what the bills have up by 40% since then ? we are we have also seen a degradation of our water infrastructure. we've seen leaks of about 3 billion litres of water every single day because the private water companies not investing in the system while taking out profits of about investing in the system while taking out profits of about £2 billion every year. it's gone downhill from . 1989 now just downhill from. 1989 now just cutting on that, because i do understand that there is now this argument about

renationalise owning the waterways and i understand that but that argument falls apart for me when i talk to people i know but potentially like yourself who probably also think that the is rubbish at running up city everything is already in charge of so why would want charge of so why would you want to government in of to put the government in of running our waterways again. i would i would not necessarily say that the government is rubbish everything is rubbish at running everything is in of at moment. for in charge of at the moment. for example you look at our example if you look at our railway system the companies in the system run private the system are run private companies, the government is actually well actually doing very, very well in. the railway systems that it's running and i think in the water system it's quite unique in the sense that you don't have any options, any choice all on privatisation theoretically uses competition raise standards but that does exist in water you don't decide you buy your water from right you get it directly i get joe bosco. i'm very sorry we've been squeezed. but i hope you feel as though you've got your points across our and great to have you on the we'll talk to

you again very soon john bosco won't buy that lead campaigner out we are it with me patrick christys on gb news with me because box office because we got a box office next coming way including. next coming your way including. the those objects the latest on those objects shot down fighter jets. is down by the us fighterjets. is it an alien .

secretary for the department of transport , richard holden, is transport, richard holden, is defending the saying the spending has not been reckless . spending has not been reckless. what we've tried to do is introduce some real transparency into this sector. so in 2012 we pubush into this sector. so in 2012 we publish on a monthly basis all expenditure over £5 on the government procurement cards. that's all available for your viewers on the government's website on gov.uk . so that's website on gov.uk. so that's what we're trying to do , greater what we're trying to do, greater transparency. that's why we've said that massive fall since the last time labour were in office on this but we've always got to keep an eye on it i. and lastly a meteor been caught on camera lighting up the sky above the engush lighting up the sky above the english channel. it's quite a fireball with of green which can be seen and went across skies at around 3:00 this morning. if you weren't fast asleep you may have seen it and it comes after the european space agency spotted the object saying expected to safely enter earth's atmosphere.

only the seventh time an asteroid impact has been predicted . it would . i'm back in predicted. it would. i'm back in half an hour. see . half an hour. see. okay. welcome back, everybody. now the uk will be reviewing its foreign policy of china as , part foreign policy of china as, part of its security review, according to number 10 after chinese spy balloons may have passed over the uk , a third passed over the uk, a third mystery object was shot down by the us military as it flew over lake in michigan. the flying objects are currently being investigated. the possibility that these are actually ufo sightings has not been ruled out by a senior us general. there we go. so, you know , few go. so, you know, few possibilities here and ufos is obviously one of them, although the way that this country, the world is going at the minute, i think part of me welcome an auen think part of me welcome an alien invasion home insecure is

going to mount. why have this report for just shot it report for us. they just shot it in since this high in the day since this high altitude balloon was shot down over the south carolina coast. nonh over the south carolina coast. north air defence have north american air defence have been on heightened the alleged chinese spy balloon was destroyed us missile after it was observed loitering over sensitive areas for days. us. military intelligence is now examining the wreckage recovered the atlantic a have so far said nothing about what they found but notably they haven't roared back from their claims. but notably they haven't roared back from their claims . the back from their claims. the balloon was on a spying mission and now the downing of three other unidentified over the us and canada over the weekend has only deepened the mystery and significantly raised tensions between washington and with the chinese . the us of a complete chinese. the us of a complete overreaction within it. we've

already said many times that the chinese unmanned civilian ship that strayed into us airspace was a complete accident. as for the other unidentified flying objects , i have no knowledge of objects, i have no knowledge of these , but what we want to tell these, but what we want to tell everyone is the us is frequent firing of advanced missiles to strike down unidentified flying objects is an overreaction of excess , of force, of sheer . the excess, of force, of sheer. the chinese have now also claimed that their military radar systems detected ten balloons over their airspace in recent months, pointing the finger of blame at the us the concerns over the possible use of spy balloons over western airspace has prompted the uk government to launch a review . security to launch a review. security over britain's airspace with the prime minister confirming that raaf typhoons stand ready to react to short notice while want people to know that we'll do whatever it takes to keep country safe, we have something

called the quick reaction alert force, which involves typhoon planes which are capped on 24 seven readiness to police our airspace, which is incredibly i can't obviously comment in detail on national security matters but we're constant touch with our allies . the us has said with our allies. the us has said very little . the latest very little. the latest incidents only that the objects were far smaller than the suspected spy balloon . that's suspected spy balloon. that's only fuelled speculation about their possible origin , with the their possible origin, with the pentagon even being to rule out an alien origin . now, i haven't an alien origin. now, i haven't ruled out anything at this point. we continue to assess every threat or potential threat unknown that approaches north america with the attempt to identify the uk government is refused to comment on whether any object have been detected over british in recent months . over british in recent months. but quick reaction typhoon fighters remain on alert to respond should the need arise .

respond should the need arise. mark white . gb news. i just mark white. gb news. ijust quite like the idea one day it might be of all people. me who also announced the nation that we have been invaded by. but there we go. mark white joins me now. so i am a security at it, sir. so it's not aliens then? no, but they are ufos and purest sense. they are. and identify and flying objects . the issue and flying objects. the issue is, you know in terms of the origin . can you rule an origin. can you rule an extraterrestrial origin? and of course a us military spokesman said he wasn't willing to rule in or out, which of course then led to this wild speculation while sweeping the planet. but very unlikely to be extra terrestrial in origin . much more terrestrial in origin. much more likely to be china, russia potentially even western countries putting up weather balloons. we just don't about

the last three objects that were shot down by missiles of what we were told is an abundance of caution, flying over the united states and over the weekend. now that first object that was shot down on 4th of february, that was a balloon, a very large balloon 200 feet inland , we're balloon 200 feet inland, we're told that all this equipment hanging from it, including solar panels , is a potentially spy panels, is a potentially spy equipment. it was the us assertion that was a chinese spy balloon and they've not ruled back on that since the recovery of the wreckage. they're still that, but they haven't really given us any update what they haven't done as well is give us any kind of detail about the three objects that were shot over the weekend . and i say over the weekend. and i say that's led to the speculation as to what it could be. you're doing your best to close the auen doing your best to close the alien door this time, mark. and

i think that's fair enough. you are, course, serious are, of course, a serious chap but on very serious now some but on a very serious now some of the information appears to be coming out. so not of these coming out. so not all of these were as understand were balloons, as we understand it, intrigue about it, and some intrigue about particularly one of these objects, i think shape of it, it's unknown propulsion and whether or not it was interfering with jets, radars, etc. it is weird. yeah i mean, there's no doubt it is know very unusual. there's no doubt it is know very unusual . the objects that have unusual. the objects that have been spotted and shot down and also the vague descriptions we've been getting from , we've been getting from, military commanders in the united states has not really helped the situation. they described one object as being october console, another as being solyndra or with no apparent means of propulsion . apparent means of propulsion. but they believed those to be on manned objects, much smaller in size than not. big blue . that size than not. big blue. that was short. and just in terms of a sense, as it were by local, i

mean britain really was the situation for us over here, we detected any of these things over here. would we shoot down if they came over in? are we all just spying each other all the time? and now we've just decided do something about it. i think certainly something to that premise that we are all spying on each other. we always have done for many, many years . and done for many, many years. and that there programs in existence . the us point to chinese spying that specifically uses balloons . i think what we are noticing in of these sort of spate of incidents just over recent days is actually a recalibration of the radar systems in north america specific likely to try to look out for smaller slower moving objects, which is now as a result of that, obviously balloons and similar objects

that are up there now. it's very probable that radars are being weakened figured in other western countries as well, including the uk now, whether they've been up there reacting to anything we don't know, they've not said yet. will they see in the fullness of time they? might, but all rishi sunak, as we heard from , india sunak, as we heard from, india is prepared to see at this stage is prepared to see at this stage is look, we've got these quick reaction alert typhoon fighters based up at raf lossiemouth , the based up at raf lossiemouth, the northeast of scotland, calling to be in lincolnshire ready to fly up and intercept anything . fly up and intercept anything. okay, but nothing yet in the way of any confirmation . mark, thank of any confirmation. mark, thank you very much. as ever, mark white there on home and security editor . and some people are editor. and some people are saying that, know, everyone saying that, you know, everyone needs to calm down and we shouldn't be all our shouldn't be putting all our eggs alien basket. that's eggs in the alien basket. that's right. wouldn't whip right. we wouldn't want to whip up. so an unrelated note later right. we wouldn't want to whip upthe an unrelated note later right. we wouldn't want to whip upthe show,irelated note later right. we wouldn't want to whip upthe show,irewilld note later right. we wouldn't want to whip upthe show,irewill be ote later right. we wouldn't want to whip upthe show,irewill be talkingr in the show, i will be talking to owns a doomsday shop to someone owns a doomsday shop so can buy all of your needs so you can buy all of your needs for alien invasion or indeed for an alien invasion or indeed

the the world, whether the end of the world, whether that be nuclear reactors, terrestrial, talking to them to completely joining me completely unrelated. joining me is the director of the us china institute is professor steve song.so institute is professor steve song. so he's done very, very much great to have you on the show. china hitting back about all of this stuff that say, well, hang on minute. you know well, hang on minute. you know we stuff like this we shoot down stuff like this all when we things all the time when we see things like the is this just like this, all the is this just talk? is there a case of us spying on each other? and now we're choosing to overreact to it? i we're starting it? well, i think we're starting to each other all to be spying on each other all the time . what we do know is the time. what we do know is that china is that the americans who fly spy planes up and tell them it's time to close and they have previously from youtubes and, cell centric ones all, the chinese air space. so the chinese air space. so the chinese government has for a long time been quite happy to send chinese craft to spy on the americans see if they could. but but whether the multiple we have

seen in the last few or chinese or not, that remains to be seen . i suspect the first one almost certainly what the chinese agreed it was one of their own. okay steve, whether or not these chinese or whether the spy balloons and the weather balloons and the weather balloons potentially . isn't balloons potentially. isn't really the main at play here. i suspect the main issue at play is the increased and the increased possible threat and inclination . war as a result of inclination. war as a result of stuff . this we are now seeing stuff. this we are now seeing back and forth on a heightened scale between the us and china. we've seen what russia has done in ukraine. is there a chance we are just right on the precipice of china doing something similar with taiwan ? but we are with taiwan? but we are certainly a structural change in the relationship between china and leading western countries, whether we're talking about the united states and some of the countries even think within the uk and that change in

relationship affect the way how we see these kinds of events and how settled those problems and how settled those problems and how we choose to respond to it. okay the reality with the united states, what's next? we have they have eight democratic president approached to announce a for a second term and just lost control of the house and therefore they do not really have to respond very robustly to the chinese interest to into us. airspace . that is u.s. airspace. that is interesting calls all right. about joe biden that come across as a strong man. about joe biden that come across as a strong man . that will leave as a strong man. that will leave steve there. i hope he's okay as professor steve that it was the director of the so us china institute so maybe is saying something he wasn't supposed to. anyway you're with me. patrick christys on gb news coming up. who is to blame? the violence

which erupted emergency which erupted outside emergency aid asylum aid hotel housing, asylum seekers . now 15 people arrested seekers. now 15 people arrested at protest turned very, at that protest turned very, very ugly and some of the migrants in that hotel, very ugly and some of the migrants in that hotel , they're migrants in that hotel, they're reportedly too scared to go out . they're asking to be moved. it's trayvon is of any kind it's that trayvon is of any kind of course is absolutely but morally just practically speaking what i want know is speaking what i want to know is this something that we frankly are facing more of and we're going to face more of what is causing of this stuff just causing all of this stuff just now, more ever, the now, more than ever, the government need get a grip of government need to get a grip of the migrant crisis . but i'm the migrant crisis. but i'm going to give you a weather. hello again. it's aidan mcgivern here from the met office. it's turning into a fine for many of us with some sunny spells out there. mild as well, but some frost and fog will overturn overnight at the moment, high pressure still close enough by across the uk to bring largely settled weather. but moving to the east and that's allowing dner the east and that's allowing drier and mild air to drift away from the near continent. so that's why there are plenty of

clear skies everywhere, some cloud , especially through cloud, especially through western parts . but where we've western parts. but where we've got the clear skies overnight, temperatures will fall and a few mist and fog patches will form, especially the midlands, east anglia and the southeast and a touch of frost in places as well. temperatures into the low single just below freezing in single or just below freezing in the west though northern ireland western scotland, west wales, cornwall a few showers first thing thicker cloud a bit more of a breeze here . the showers of a breeze here. the showers across wales in the south—west will tend to disappear by mid to late morning and actually for much england and wales it turns sunnier once . but across sunnier once. but across scotland especially western and central and northern ireland, a few showers will continue . now few showers will continue. now widely temperatures reach to 13 celsius, could even see the mid teens somewhere like north devon , north wales, given the winds coming over the higher ground to the south? and then we keep the clear skies across, england, wales, eastern scotland as well on tuesday nights that will lead again to some fog patches , again to some fog patches, especially across central and

southeastern areas . again, southeastern areas. again, further west, thicker , a bit further west, thicker, a bit more of a breeze will prevent frost and fog. and by the end of night, outbreaks of rain into western scotland , northern western scotland, northern ireland, six or seven degrees here. closer to freezing across central and eastern parts of england . any fog in the england. any fog in the southeast will soon lift as the winds pick up through wednesday . but actually we keep the fine weather in the southeast through the other the day whilst other areas see a band of rain moving through that fizzles out. the much more unsettled weather arrives on thursday friday, winds thursday into friday, with winds strengthening .

okay, big story this ladies , okay, big story this ladies, gentlemen, it's rumbling on and i'm concerned that there's much wider ramifications kind of stuff. and it is, of course, what's been taking place at a mercy hotel, which houses asylum

seekers we all saw this story it started on friday night, rumbled on over the weekend and i suspect it's not the last we're going to hear of this. 50 people were arrested outside that hotel. it was a protest turned violent. a police van was set on fire. it happened on friday night, as i've said, and reports that some of migrants being that some of the migrants being housed that hotel are now housed in that hotel are now fearful of going out yet again , fearful of going out yet again, i just want to emphasise the fact that, of course, any violence or actions of these kind look, we all agree that this is despicable . there's no this is despicable. there's no need or call at for violence, set things on fire and lawlessness. it is absolutely shocking stuff and not trying to diminish that whatsoever . and i diminish that whatsoever. and i want to be very, very clear about am concerned about about that. i am concerned about wider picture. think if anyone wider picture. i think if anyone goes outside tests the goes outside and just tests the pubuc goes outside and just tests the public temperature the minute. oh, well, look, do we not all have concerns that like have concerns that stuff like this continue to happen? have concerns that stuff like this mecontinue to happen? have concerns that stuff like this me now,1ue to happen? have concerns that stuff like this me now, refugeeappen? have concerns that stuff like this me now, refugee and n? joining me now, refugee and asylum director amnesty asylum rights director amnesty international, steve austin. international, uk steve austin. and steve, you very, very and steve, thank you very, very much . your initial take on why much. your initial take on why

this happened outside this hotel . well, the immediate reason happenedis . well, the immediate reason happened is obviously the heat of , the individual people who of, the individual people who perpetrate created this violence and were so threatening to the people , the hotel and as you say people, the hotel and as you say that was despicable on their part. we should all condemn it. there is a wider question as to whether policy pursued by government, the rhetoric of minister , what other people say minister, what other people say is encouraging to the people who perpetuate , perpetuate or perpetuate, perpetuate or perpetrate things like this or discouraging to them . it's my discouraging to them. it's my view that it generally encouraging and it should not be. i think one of the issues at play be. i think one of the issues at play here and this is all very much alleged. again, i want to emphasise that it is alleged that some of the people on the ground at that particular scene in liverpool were of the view that an individual who had been at that hotel, that approached a 15 year old girl, etc. etc, now

that caused public outrage. people, steve think are concerned that stuff like that might be happening. we hear and again, we're not going to comment on this case. it's the very early stage of an active case, which is something is alleged to have taken place taking place dover involving taking place in dover involving afghan individuals who came over the channel the alleged rape of a girl in a school there. and people see things like this and i think, well, they get very angry about it, steve, don't they ? so do you really think they? so do you really think that it they? so do you really think thatitis they? so do you really think that it is the government's rhetoric or do you think sometimes just cases like that ? sometimes just cases like that? well, i do think . it's the well, i do think. it's the government's rhetoric and the reason i say that. is this of course, we should all be and extreme against any sort of violence by anybody , anybody violence by anybody, anybody else, including individual instances or things that are

alleged to the moment, if they're found , be true or they're found, be true or enquiring, prosecute action and but that doesn't mean that we should be against a whole category of people because we can i identify some character risk of someone who's done . i risk of someone who's done. i mean we wouldn't accept that would we. of if one of our family members example committed a terrible would we think that we a family should be persecuted demeaned or treated in a way. would we think that if a community that we lived in because someone from our neighbourhood if we hadn't in that way i think we think that about seek asylum. think lot about seek asylum. i think lot of people maybe feel as though they've had concerns about immigration both legal and illegal for while they have had concerns hotels popping up their area, concerns about amount of taxpayers money being spent. so a lot of those people i think

are just completely moderate people who just talk it in their own homes. but i wanted to see whether or not they're a bit sick and tired of being told that actually that racist on their far right. so they don't say anything and then incidents happen and they bottle up and it comes out thai raids like comes out in thai raids like this. do you actually think that may be conversely , it being may be conversely, it being government rhetoric , you know, government rhetoric, you know, hostile environment type stuff? it might actually be that people feel as though they're not able to talk freely about their legitimate concerns . well, i legitimate concerns. well, i don't know. but it's reported isn't it that there were leaflets ahead of the far right demonstration led to this violent violence calling for the streets of the neighbourhood to be kept white. that sounds racist to me, which doesn't mean everybody who has concern about government policy . that is government policy. that is necessarily racist, for crying out loud , has extreme concerns out loud, has extreme concerns about government policy and the cost debate and the use of hotels , not least its impact on

hotels, not least its impact on the people who are left in limbo in the. so, yes, i agree that we want to see more committed effort by government to manage a fair and efficient and effective asylum system. we don't one because of government policy that you and i have discussed many times. yeah but it doesn't any way justify this all, you know, ministers using rhetoric thatis know, ministers using rhetoric that is obviously inflammatory as . we know home secretary , as. we know home secretary, others have done . yeah. and others have done. yeah. and steve, i am very worried about i in fact, look, it's a difficult because clearly i don't i'm certainly i was immediately obvious. i'm obviously not inciting anything i really hope this happen. i just refuse to believe, steve, that this will believe, steve, that this will be anything like. the last case of his that we see the of his kind that we see the moment and people say, well, what's the solution? how do we stop this ? the only thing i can stop this? the only thing i can really see at the mean time and in the short term would be to

stop the boats over and stop the use of hotel and try and draw a line under where we are at the minute and get things halted. so people may maybe don't feel as extremely strongly about it the way that they do now. what would be your solution stopping ? what be your solution stopping? what i unfortunately think possibly another a inevitable incident like this, the way we're going . like this, the way we're going. my like this, the way we're going. my view would to get behind the many people , this country who many people, this country who are broadly welcoming of refugees and do lots of things in their communities to try welcome newcomers and indeed be kind to human beings of all kinds, whether new comers or settled people generally regard human misery as precious rather than hate . and to favour that than hate. and to favour that and show people who turn to that, that is not going to be encouraged, tolerated or any way supported , whether against supported, whether against asylum seekers or anybody else in our community. it's

practical. just very lastly, steve, on this, you know, i respect what you're saying, is that actually a practical because that is sounds a little bit to me like the old love will conquer role less like a candle approach to it but in the meantime we have hotels in every single town the city or whatever going to be stopped chock a block of food with asylum seekers people concerned about the we know who the fact that we don't know who some people are, where some of these people are, where they're what intentions they're from, what intentions are. we're going are. i mean, so if we're going to get sane, we just need to be more loving. but i is that the answer? we don't just just need to be than although i to be than nothing. although i think help. we do need think it would help. we do need to be efficient, effective to be more efficient, effective in we do need in government. we do need to remember that i remember i'm sorry that i mentioned this much every mentioned this pretty much every time you. have huge time speak to you. we have huge in system because the has in this system because the has refused effectively process thousands thousands of claims that's our system is collapsed obviously that's no good for anybody and government should not be doing it and not be about doing more of that which is its current policy aim. okay, steve,

thank you very much. steve symonds. that is a is the refugee and asylum rights at amnesty international uk . now, amnesty international uk. now, i want to touch on this particular topic and also i'm just going to say something quite quickly here, which is that i'm getting a lot of emails in about this and people aware of it an ongoing case, allegations about three supposed people from afghanistan who came over on a small boat in the channel who have been accused , been have been accused, been arrested, arrested over an alleged rape at a school in at doven alleged rape at a school in at dover. we are obviously , of dover. we are obviously, of course, aware of , but it is dover. we are obviously, of course, aware of, but it is in the very, very early stages a case. so we're not going to dwell on that. and go 22, which is why we are not going into massive detail about it. you are with me on gb news, the labour party has accused tory mps of living high life at the taxpayers expense, but some say labour hypocritical and labour being hypocritical and new identified new research has identified some of areas of britain's worst areas for crime with 5% of neighbourhoods making up more than 50% of the uk's anti—social behaviour.

what's it like living in one of the highest crime areas in the uk? we'll find out next. but first, it is the latest headunes. first, it is the latest headlines . patrick, thank you. headlines. patrick, thank you. the top stories on gb news. the prime minister has refused to commit on spy balloons which may have been spotted over the uk . have been spotted over the uk. it comes after the united shot down a fourth object over its territory . defence secretary ben territory. defence secretary ben wallace announced the uk will now have to review its airspace security and rishi sunak says the country has the military capability to keep the nation's skies something called the quick reaction alert force which involves typhoon moon planes which are kept on 24 seven readiness to our airspace is incredibly important. i can't comment in detail on national security , but we're in constant security, but we're in constant touch with our allies and as i said, we'll do it takes to keep the country safe . meanwhile the country safe. meanwhile money is said to have wasted

with labour accusing , the with labour accusing, the government of a lavish spending culture. the party analyse the use of government procurement cards and found the far north spent. cards and found the far north spent . almost £345,000 on dining spent. almost £345,000 on dining and alcohol in 2021. the government's denied any reckless money spending and says labour is wasting resource , is digging is wasting resource, is digging up information , is already in up information, is already in the public domain . the number of the public domain. the number of dead following earthquakes in turkey . syria has now risen turkey. syria has now risen above 37,000. that's a week after the disaster struck . after the disaster struck. officials say the window for finding survivors is closing, but people, including children, are still pulled alive from the rubble . an appeal by the uk's rubble. an appeal by the uk's disaster emergency committee has raised more than £60 million. the new russian offensive in ukraine has already begun to nato secretary general jens stoltenberg says if he sees no signs of russia preparing for

peace, then troops, weapons and capability are needed. he also says ukraine needs fighter jets and long—range missiles to counter the attack and to recapture lost territory. those are your latest news headlines? i'm back half an hour.

okay. all right . well, a labour okay. all right. well, a labour party study on debit cards has claimed a lavish spending culture in civil service has been taxpayers wasted. they've seen it on things like fine art as well as fine dining, and a document titled the gypsy files, the opposition included examples of where foreign office officials have spent almost £345,000 on dining, on alcohol purchases in 2021 alone. but of course, that is just a weekend for our very own tom harwood as

it gives this political correspond some how serious is this? should care? well, i think we need look what are we need to look what are procurement cards. they were by tony blair back in 1997 and they sort of streamline they simplify the way that civil servants can make expenses for government procurement . now, these aren't procurement. now, these aren't cards that held by ministers, despite what labour party is trying to present in their report rishi sunak doesn't have a little black card. he goes around spending things. these are permanent secretaries of departments, various rungs of the civil service and to be fair to various levers of government that we've over the last 25 that we've seen over the last 25 years, they actually have a purpose in terms of saving the taxpayer money about 35% on every transaction cost saved by the use of these cards rather than more complicated , than more complicated, cumbersome or historic ways of doing expenses. so that's sense in that sense, the cards are probably a good thing when it comes to the taxpayer payers balance sheet. on the other hand, what this big dossier

today details in a very searchable and easily accessible way is exactly what has been spent, what that money has been on, what these items and how that's been. and that's a more political judgement is right that the foreign office in embassies around the world hosts hospitality events other diplomats is that part of global britain or is that an excessive payable to compare the figures of our expenditure to what other similar countries spend when do similar countries spend when do similar things. similar countries spend when do similar things . because if i was similar things. because if i was looking at this now and it turns out that if you go have a similar event in germany and decide to just take you to mcdonald's, then i can understand it. but they obviously do that. no, they don't. the don't. actually, one of the examples labour party examples that the labour party used today is rishi sunak staying a star hotel for the staying at a star hotel for the g summit. now looking into the detail of this, this was actually hotel that was recommended by. the government hosting the summit all part, all country around the world stayed

in these lists of hotels that were provided by indonesia for that big summit last year and the civil service were following that protocol in terms of the procurements of that hotel room, there are clear, secure reasons why a national leader might need to stay in a hotel like that, rather than slum it in a motel or , something similar. so or, something similar. so really, there is an example here in terms of the why why , some in terms of the why why, some things that might look lavish should be less so. however there are other examples that i think you really can up and raise an eyebrow at. for example, the embassy in washington, dc. may have hired out a pink photo for a screening of a film and inviting other diplomats around the british embassy there. we're getting a little bit lost in a pink booth. i like the fact the colour seems to matter so much. so i was more about the fine art because i was intrigued that the government has its own art collection and my understanding of this story that they then

went some bought some other art from the tate to make the place look nicer. yes that seems a bit weird. this is the treasury now the prime minister's spokesman earlier today said that rishi sunak when he was chancellor was not involved in this decision was a decision of the permanent secretary and the various rungs of the civil service within the treasury. but it it is curious because yes, the estate does own a huge amount of art and it goes around mvp's can request various paintings for their offices. various government departments have , art pieces as. various government departments have , art pieces as . well, but have, art pieces as. well, but some the justice fixation for this was, i think, background for meetings and zoom communications and all the rest of it. i'm not sure how much this really stands up to scrutiny. however, there are some clear ways, perhaps in which the civil service could be could be being more with taxpayers cash. tom you very much tom harwood there are political correspondent going to

whizzing on over now see labour adviser and writer scarlet maguire sky flat is i believe with me we guy good to have you on the show right okay so i'm i am to be honest with you in the grand scheme of things today when we've had the possibility of an alien invasion, we're talking about riots outside an asylum seeker and all of this stuff we talk about government wastage all the time, people pumping raw sewage into our waterways, etc. look, a few grand , some fine wine and a nice grand, some fine wine and a nice dinner for some diplomats. so why should i care about gala ? of why should i care about gala? of course , when you're when you're course, when you're when you're entertaining, you have to take them to a reasonable restaurant. you don't have to spend thousands and thousands of pounds you don't have to take out americans who because they're diplomats don't drink right . so it was the british right. so it was the british people who are drinking. but actually, i mean i mean thomas has named some of the problems but another the problems is that these things are being put in these things are being put in

the wrong categories . so in the the wrong categories. so in the middle leaves when i measure a complex was hired , it was called complex was hired, it was called computers . right complex was hired, it was called computers. right and there's quite a few if you look into what comes under computers and accounting quite a lot those gibraltar there's the maldives there's nice places. i mean what they're saying i think is really important . we've got to stop important. we've got to stop waste . and i mean, earlier the waste. and i mean, earlier the national audit office and the pubuc national audit office and the public accounts committee, both the problem with these cards , as the problem with these cards, as thomas notes, basically very goodidea. thomas notes, basically very good idea. but thomas notes, basically very good idea . but they have to be good idea. but they have to be transparent and they have to be accountable . it gets taken an accountable. it gets taken an awful sorry just done just on this. and again, i i'm quite annoyed at the idea that this is always the government's fault. and i would be saying this, whoever was in charge, okay . whoever was in charge, okay. because sometimes these procedures , i mean, the procedures, i mean, the individuals walking around with these predominantly these cards predominantly civil servants. and i refuse to servants. okay and i refuse to believe that a government who's

got as long as your got an interest as long as your arm is absolutely on top of the complete level of expenditure thatis complete level of expenditure that is going on, someone stopping it can't do it. so realistically, is this not a political move by labour to try and to say, look, the tories wasting your money account when in fact civil servants really are at no stage were ministers blaming armed, right? i mean it happens that that that when liz truss was in charge of the foreign office an awful lot money was spent but actually an awful lot of money not on these cards the spent and your and you're right these meant ministers don't have the cards it's civil servants who the it's civil servants who have the cards. really import cards. but we it's really import but we start questioning where the money got spent because the other thing which which any body who knows about budgeting, particularly the public sector knows, is you have a budget. and if you don't spend it by the end of the year that it might be cut back for next year and all of a sudden an awful lot of money

gets you look the cards gets spent. you look the cards and the money gets by the end of the year. do you think i mean. yeah. do think angela yeah. do you do you think angela rayner want to just, just rayner might want to just, just the a little bit and lower the tone a little bit and lower rhetoric a bit this rhetoric a little bit on this because. there been quite because. there has been quite a supposedly apple products put through her expense accounts and of course look realistically they can point fingers all at this stuff, but it is probably there's no no winners are going to emerge out of this gala, is that right? no, actually, you know. look, what's important is every colour they every mp, whatever colour they are, they have to all their expenses and they have to get get them agreed ipsa and we that right that's why you know about rayner's airpods you not know about the that was spent in the maldives that we were told was computing the money spent in gibraltar that we were told i think was auditing what. that's what you don't know and that's what you don't know and that's what and this isn't about naming

conservative this is saying this was happening and it has to stop and we need that. we need the departments be more transparent. for instance , the department, for instance, the department, defra, the of environment, rural affairs , farming is absolutely affairs, farming is absolutely transparent. you look straight through and they say what every what every transaction on the card spent on. and that's all we're asking for. scarlett, thank you very much . colin thank you very much. colin maguire of that, who is former labour adviser and writer, now , labour adviser and writer, now, we should use this have a stock scandal excuse me to remind us to step up for the truth as we see it . that's the warning see it. that's the warning coming from business secretary kemi badenoch after a new book claims that more 1000 children were given puberty . former were given puberty. former clinicians , the gender identity clinicians, the gender identity development service at the tavistock clinic have revealed that complex children were put on serious medication . just one on serious medication. just one single in person appointment and actually it turned out as well, quite few of those children had other issues on at play, things

like autism , other kind of like autism, other kind of issues as well. joining now is the co—founder of the lgb alliance. it is bev jackson babb.thank alliance. it is bev jackson babb. thank you very much. to great hopefully thank you very much for having on look am just trying to imagine myself as a parent i have a mind child going to the tavistock centre and having one appointment i'm being on puberty blockers and set down a that could lead to irreversible . change it just irreversible. change it just sound like this shouldn't have really been going on that no but i'm absolutely not i mean you're quite right that this of course is just one aspect of something much, much larger and i'm afraid, however shocking story is we have known about this for many years. so one of the shocking things is it's taken this long to get into the public domain. so this is about how difficult it is to get published

and is censorship in the media. so there are lots of free speech aspects here. but my here as lgb alliance to talk about the aspect homophobia and when people think of homophobia i think they have realise how much homophobia there is in society today and we read for instance that at the tavistock that the children were coming , they had children were coming, they had been teased because were gay or lesbian. we know two thirds or three, three quarters. these kids are are and most of them , kids are are and most of them, 70 to 90% are either lesbian or bisexual. so something very odd is coming is going on here. bisexual. so something very odd is coming is going on here . ten is coming is going on here. ten years ago, it was mostly little who would get referred to a gender clinic and now it's mostly teenage girls. so let's just let's just hypothesise as to exactly what is going on here, because i i'm getting concerned about the fact that people being young can be a very

confusing time anyway, whether you're gay or straight, or anything else, frankly, it can be a very time. i think it's kind of supposed to be in a way, because you're finding your footing in the world. we also that kids can be really mean and unfortunately bullying at school has and it will has taken place and it will never . but there now never stop. but is there now a rush for some kind of permanent solution to? what may only be a temporary problem? well, let's not use the words permanent solution. that sounds a bit, but i do think that happening starts very early on. kids at primary school are getting to, for instance, given about a blue crayon in a red wrapper and they're taught at a very early age that it's possible to change sex and that if you wash if you've got short hair. they hear from their classmates and online as they grow older that they might be the opposite sex. a girl who's got short hair might really be a boy and we hear this is quite tragic what's happening there is more homophobia now and there is more homophobia now and there was when i was growing up

so we heard i just was talking to a 19 year old girl the other day and she said throughout her secondary school that that her classmates said, you must really be a boy because she was attracted to girls. so what's happening here? it starts school. and then as you point out at what's happening, what was happening, out at what's happening, what was happening , the tavistock was was happening, the tavistock was that these clinicians were being extraordinarily by these lobby groups which were pressuring them to give them the puberty blockers , give them the blockers, give them the cross—sex hormones . and so how cross—sex hormones. and so how does this happen? how does nhs keep this this is a key point because if it was purely medical practise then that's one thing. but if not medical solution or whatever want to call it has been influenced by then a problem isn't it? bev and the suspicion is that that may be what has happened here. well i'm afraid it's very definitely what's happened here and the

case of sonia appleby , who was case of sonia appleby, who was the safeguarding expert at the tavistock, she won her case just last year for discrimination time. she tried to present her worries that some of kids have they were on autism spectrum they were on autism spectrum they had all sorts of other things on and they were attracted to others of the same sex. so were they had sexual orientation problems every time she tried to raise these issues , she was fobbed off and told not to bother about it. and so it's definitely true these laws lobby groups has and we've got lots of documentary proof these lobby groups have been influencing the nhs now we so we have got educate in schools this ideology is being so when i say an ideology what i mean because some trans people will say why are you calling this an ideology? i'm just me. what mean is the idea that everyone has a gender identity. it seems to have replaced personality. you know , i mean, everybody's got know, i mean, everybody's got a personality, right? some people

are rather masculine. others it doesn't matter . everyone needs doesn't matter. everyone needs to as well but this thing, all that everyone needs to. we've all got to be in these very rigid pigeonholes and that we can't deviate from all of that, despite the fact that there's no way all on we're all way we're all on it. we're all on a sliding scale. i could talk to day, but i can't, to you all day, but i can't, unfortunately, have jackson, thatis unfortunately, have jackson, that is the co—founder of the lgb . i've got a statement now lgb. i've got a statement now from tavistock and portman nhs foundation trust, which has been at the centre of all of this controversy for rather a long time. is what they told us. time. this is what they told us. they the gender identity they said the gender identity development they said the gender identity deve by ment they said the gender identity deve by case with every young case by case with every young person on that family, working thoughtfully realistically with them to their situation with no expectation of what the right outcome for them might be. only the minority of young people seen in the service are referred for any physical interventions . for any physical interventions. at the tavistock and portman. we wholeheartedly support our staff to and have to raise concerns and we have recently strengthened mechanisms for . concerns relating for doing so. concerns relating to young people's wellbeing taken seriously and investigated

, done right, new research has identified some of britain's worst areas for crime with 5% of neighbourhoods making up more than 50% of the uk's anti behaviour. the figures were collated by the conservative think tank onward and they revealed that reported crimes in places like oldham, chatham walsall and cleveland, well above the national average, which in 2021 was 85.5% of crimes, look last year in walsall, for example , there were walsall, for example, there were 120 crimes per 1000 people. that is a 40% increase in offences last year with a total of 34,252 crimes, reported. the report that the government must tackle anti—social behaviour if it's going to make it levelling . going to make it levelling. programmes succeed and look what this is saying. programmes succeed and look what this is saying . there have been this is saying. there have been several incredibly incidents. people basically scared to leave their own homes for fear of the crime that may be unfolding outside, not wanting to get on

transport. they talk about rampant abuse. you talk about kids with knives . joining me now kids with knives. joining me now is leader walsall council. it's mike bird. mike, thank you very much . i am sorry to talk to you much. i am sorry to talk to you under these circum stances, but this report would say that essentially you're particular parts of the world is that well a crime infested nightmare . i a crime infested nightmare. i wouldn't disagree that to be honest. what we've seen in recent weeks it's becoming an increasing problem of youngsters carrying knives , youngsters as carrying knives, youngsters as young 16. but it's not here in walsall. if you look across the country, it's happening everywhere and it a worrying trend. there doesn't seem to be an answer to it. i really have to say. people who carry knives quite, genuinely, they don't go out there . they're going to use out there. they're going to use them . simple as you know. how them. simple as you know. how many quite you know about is walsall, which has ranked top for this particular list . why is for this particular list. why is it so . well, if we know the

it so. well, if we know the answer to that then obviously with the prevalence of solve the problem there is periods and areas deprivation. but that's no, no excuse at all. i came from a very humble in birmingham but the world has changed dramatically over the last three, four, five years where people think is acceptable to carry knives it's acceptable to steal people property. and one of the biggest issues we've got in the west midlands is people stealing cars , you know, stealing cars, you know, stripping them down and putting money by for sale. but a two way street, you know, we have people who are doing the crime, but we also have people who are happy purchase those products when . purchase those products when. well, yes , i suppose that's to well, yes, i suppose that's to be thought of as well. that's the kind of drug dealing argument which is people moaning about, oh, back on the about, oh, get back on the street drugs , but the street dealing drugs, but the deaung street dealing drugs, but the dealing with the people use dealing with the people who use them problem. yeah. yeah. well, they are they are they are in a

lot places. my look are lot of places. my look what are some stories that you're some of the stories that you're heanng some of the stories that you're hearing is it is it true hearing now. is it is it true people are afraid to leave the front doors, that they're afraid to public transport, that to get on public transport, that they're run them they're afraid of run them attacks there genuine in attacks and there is genuine in the there is the community might there is genuine concern in the community whether transposes it to fear is a matter of the individual. but we have had some meetings with leaders of communities. we have had some meetings with leaders of communities . we've leaders of communities. we've had meetings , police and council had meetings, police and council officers along with businesses in the oh, we've lost mike oh well there we go. and that was mike bird who is the leader of walsall council. walsall apparently ranking of the list of places . it's a apparently ranking of the list of places. it's a crime apparently ranking of the list of places . it's a crime infested of places. it's a crime infested hospital basically . look, lots hospital basically. look, lots of you have been getting in touch with on labour, touch with your on labour, accusing government accusing the government of overseeing on overseeing lavish spending on hotels, hospitality and other costs . margie from chester has costs. margie from chester has been on i'm from jessica stuff margie says disgusted with margie says i'm disgusted with the government it's the way the government it's okay to thousands pounds of to spend thousands of pounds of taxpayer's money as if it was their cease to their own. they never cease to amaze with that cheek. who

hotel. no excuse whatsoever for violence, no excuse whatsoever . violence, no excuse whatsoever. a breakdown in law and order. there appears to me, however, to be general sense of dissatisfaction and disease going on and. potentially growing tensions across the country when it comes to the asylum seeker crisis that we seeing at the moment is it the government's for a dodgy system does the public have any right to a bit miffed whatsoever or should we be more tolerant and charitable moving on? fine. final booze lavish banquets. now that's not you'll find inside my flat these things the government is accused of wasting taxpayers money on. angela rayner is leading the charge against the conservatives . the woman who has conservatives. the woman who has reportedly claimed than £2,000 in apple products expensive in apple products on expensive casual block, some would say there are three big ones for you today. this hour. but i'll be mixing up a little bit over the course of the next hour. we've got being puberty, got kids being put on puberty, blockers, controversial blockers, a controversial clinic, the most clinic, and we reveal the most crime town in the uk crime infested town in the uk where people supposedly live in fear their door fear of leaving their front door in feral child with a in case a feral child with a

said that fall since the last time labour were in office on. but we've always got to keep an eye on it. well our apologies that of course was meant to be the end of the mps spending story before we brought you news about that asteroid . let's bring about that asteroid. let's bring you some breaking news coming us in the last few minutes here at gb news understand queen consort of course has been pulling out of course has been pulling out of events today due to what was described earlier as an illness. we're receiving confirmation. she in fact, tested positive covid after suffering from cold symptoms. buckingham palace has confirmed that within the last moments. and as i said earlier on today, the queen consort was forced to postpone a visit the west midlands after contracting at that stage was being described as a seasonal illness . she was in fact due to visit elmhurst ballet school in boston in birmingham on tuesday to celebrate its centenary well we wish camilla all the best of course in getting well soon

that's it i'm back in half now. all people as rattled through the next hour shall three out of the next hour shall three out of the four objects which are flown into us airspace over the past month remain unidentified. a security questions are highly prominent after it was found that there was indeed a chinese spy that there was indeed a chinese spy balloon just a little bit of context i don't really particularly like foreign news first or almost all rarely on the show a lot to keep it quite local. this could have massive consequences us and it's important to raise that it's even been floated as a possibility that this could signal alien . that's right signal an alien. that's right but don't fear people as rishi sunak says the government do whatever it takes to protect the from the threat of spy bullies and as well alien invasions. he hopesi and as well alien invasions. he hopes i wouldn't be all i was secured ultimate white secured the ultimate white house the latest just shot it in the

days this high altitude balloon shot down over the south carolina coast. north american air defence systems have been on heightened alert. air defence systems have been on heightened alert . the alleged heightened alert. the alleged chinese balloon was destroyed by us missile after. it was observed loitering over sensitive areas for several days. us. military is now examining wreckage recovered from the atlantic . officials from the atlantic. officials have so far said nothing about they found, but notably they haven't ruled back from their claims the balloon was on a spying mission and now downing of three other unidades defined objects over the us canada. over the weekend has only deepened the weekend has only deepened the mystery and significantly raised tensions between washington beijing with the chinese accusing the us of a complete overreaction within it. both of the we've already said many times that the chinese

unmanned civilian airship that strayed into us airspace a complete accident . as for the complete accident. as for the other so—called unidentified flying objects, i have no knowledge these, but what we want to tell everyone is that the us. is frequent firing advanced missiles to strike unidentified flying objects is an overreaction of excessive of sheer. an overreaction of excessive of sheer . the chinese have now also sheer. the chinese have now also claimed that their military radar systems detected ten balloons over their airspace in recent months , pointing the recent months, pointing the finger of blame at the us the concerns over the possible use of spy balloons over western airspace has prompted uk government to launch a review of security over britain's airspace with . the prime minister with. the prime minister confirming that raf typhoons stand ready to react to short notice. well i want to know that we'll do whatever it takes to keep the country safe. we have something called the quick

reaction alert force which involves planes which are kept on 24 seven readiness to police our airspace which is incredibly i can't obviously comment detail on national security matters but . we're in constant touch with our allies . the us has said very our allies. the us has said very little about the latest incidents that the objects were far smaller than the suspected chinese balloon. that's only fuelled speculation about . their fuelled speculation about. their possible origin with . the possible origin with. the pentagon even being asked to , pentagon even being asked to, rule out an alien origin . now, rule out an alien origin. now, i haven't ruled out anything at this point. we continue to assess every threat potential threat unknown that north america with an attempt to identify the uk government is refusing comment on whether any objects have been detected over british airspace in recent months . but british airspace in recent months. but quick reaction time food fighters remain alert to respond should the need arise . respond should the need arise. mark white . gb news okay. well,

mark white. gb news okay. well, i'm very pleased to say that mark white joins us in the studio now. our homeland security editor . mark, few security editor. mark, few opfions security editor. mark, few options here potentially . we've options here potentially. we've got alien invasion unlikely to start a world war three unlikely bog standard state espionage probably rice but also potentially meteorological data being by some of these objects that's not been ruled out know or at least it's being and it hasn't been back on by. or at least it's being and it hasn't been back on by . the or at least it's being and it hasn't been back on by. the big balloon that was shot down the 4th of february that was 200 feet tall was a chinese spy by balloon. the chinese have admitted it was one of the balloons. they say they were gathering whether . they've also gathering whether. they've also claimed responsibility for another large balloon that was shot down. well, at least it passed over. columbia but we don't know about the latest

three objects and that's already been described as we don't even know if they were balloons this was in three days over the weekend effectively . three weekend effectively. three objects that were all shot down out of, we're told, an abundance of caution. we have not heard any claim the us military or anyone in authority in the us as to where they believe these objects may have come from or more detail about the objects , more detail about the objects, which of course has led to the speculation . yes, but it's also speculation. yes, but it's also been added to by the hand of doomsday clock is ticking towards midnight and people concerned, aren't they, now in the wake russia's invasion of ukraine and china potentially about to have a pop on taiwan. people think are concerned about whether or world war three is just around the corner and the potential for a nuclear holocaust and all that just in reality you think that might have just recalibrated some radar systems and now they're spotting more of these things?

there is no they recalibrated the radar systems. they've said as much . they've been fine tuned as much. they've been fine tuned to detect slower moving objects and smaller objects. and as a result that and what have you . result that and what have you. smaller slow moving are popping up on radar . smaller slow moving are popping up on radar. so we've had all of these just over the weekend . i these just over the weekend. i suspect we'll get more in the hours and days ahead . and it may hours and days ahead. and it may well be that other nato nations are doing likewise is recalibrating their radars and they may well also begin to see things it doesn't mean necessarily that these things are sinister in nature they might be meteorology . a call might be meteorology. a call balloons sent up by nations to gather data on weather patterns. we just don't . and in the we just don't. and in the fullness of time hopefully we will get some kind of explanation. but it comes against a backdrop, as you alluded to , about the increasing alluded to, about the increasing tensions, of course, between the

west and russia, they are very tense at the moment to say the we are effectively involved in a proxy war, russia in ukraine and china, to the tensions have been ramping up is real concern about what china's intention might be towards taiwan in the months and years ahead with some very bellicose language coming from the chinese about taiwan. so there is a lot of concern there. and then when you add to the claims and counterclaims about espionage, that might or might not be taking place with the use of balloons or other , it just of balloons or other, it just adds and fuels this rhetoric . adds and fuels this rhetoric. yes, absolutely . wine down or yes, absolutely. wine down or homemade scorcher. thank you very, very much. we managed to swerve quite a lot of the alien chat that we've had . so, of chat that we've had. so, of course, so well done. i won't crow that back in right. joining me jake who is a me now is jake moore, who is a global security advisor. jake you very much for joining us. global security advisor. jake you very much forjoining us. so

the aliens know all right now. but seriously, what do you think is going on here ? i don't know is going on here? i don't know if i'm completely honest. however if we are talking about, say, chinese cyber espionage , say, chinese cyber espionage, it's not showing any signs of slowing down recently. i mean , slowing down recently. i mean, seems they are trying everything and anything . but although these and anything. but although these balloons may seem like a wake call, this is essentially nothing in comparison to say standard surveil lists that we may not be so of. so online snooping, for example , rife. if snooping, for example, rife. if you think of apps that are just so intrusive and taking so much of our data and then there's spyware such as pegasus, we've seen that a lot with , say seen that a lot with, say journalists and members of parliament a lot to be done there in intelligence gathering jake. just tell me why people in this i can understand why the innocence civilians of montana or wherever are deeply concerned about this balloon hovering over them in jets and it being shot down. i can understand why people who around alaska people who around the alaska area , wherever these things are

area, wherever these things are popping up - area, wherever these things are popping up . but why should popping up. but why should people in the uk give to people right in the uk give to about whether or not china is spying america with balloons ? spying america with balloons? well, this could be the start of something more visual. it's quite worrying when see something that is completely in the sky. what it doing. is it taking pictures , say missile taking pictures, say missile sites or but we really have to think about the surveillance side here so that's what people should be more concerned about. and i to lots of businesses who don't think anything about their privacy online or physical and where they could be say leaving doors open we might think quite trivial if we just give our email a name to a company, but there's lots of pieces to that puzzle. and that's what i think people to really hone in on. and if this is something that makes people think it, in fact it could even a good thing that it wakes those people up. okay, jake, look, thank you very much great stuff, jake. those great stuff, jake. more those are adviser, right? are global adviser, right? we're going the story .

going return now to the story. asylum seekers staying at a merseyside are reportedly asylum seekers staying at a merscarede are reportedly asylum seekers staying at a merscared to are reportedly asylum seekers staying at a merscared to go are reportedly asylum seekers staying at a merscared to go out reportedly asylum seekers staying at a merscared to go out followingy too scared to go out following trouble which flared up outside that friday. 15 people were arrested after a protest . the arrested after a protest. the hotel turned violent with a police van set on fire. some claim that the initial protest was peaceful until members of a far right group arrived at the scene. joining me in the studio is international security and border expert henry bolton . border expert henry bolton. henry, thank you very much. yet again , to emphasise in crystal again, to emphasise in crystal clear terms , of course, that any clear terms, of course, that any kind of violence , any kind of violence, any lawlessness along these lines please don't be in total threat, etc. completely out of order and i am concerned and we know that this kind stuff is going to keep happening . and whilst there be happening. and whilst there be people involved who are morally reprehensible at its core , is reprehensible at its core, is there something to do with the government getting this asylum processing wrong , which is at processing wrong, which is at the core of this ? the patriot

the core of this? the patriot deal? the simple answer is yes , deal? the simple answer is yes, and i totally i'm a former police officer and i tell you, you know, i'd be out there wanting feel college and bring people in but that violence was utterly for but if you look at a road traffic collision and you want to investigate a road traffic collision, you're at all sorts of aspects, all sort of contra factors. the weather, the road layout and markings, driver behaviour, condition of the vehicle. and so we should be doing the same with this. and what's happened though is we've divided two camps. either the right wing are to or the asylum seekers are to blame or the government's blame. and the reality is there's a little bit of each. what concerns me is the environment that brought the tensions that have occurred now i live in a seaside town in there are three hotels sort of housing asylum seekers. there's a lot bad feeling about that . a lot bad feeling about that. you know, there's different schools of thought it but there are some people are agitated by this and concerned particularly as a lot of these seekers do

hang around outside a local girls grammar school that be they can be concerned. i there's a there's a picture just makes me very clear you know there is a concern of whilst wanting to be kind and hospitable and all of this stuff if people if people feel unsafe then they will worried indeed and nothing is done about that or people realise that local authorities haven't been fully consulted in. the housing of these refugees or asylum . then then the build, the asylum. then then the build, the worry builds and the frustration builds because nobody's to the concerns and certainly nobody addressing them. now, you know, the reality of this and a lot of people will condemn for saying it. i know the reality is that most of these asylum seekers that are housed in these hotels are , young men. secondly come are, young men. secondly come from cultures that are different to ours and they have different

way of social behaviour . to ours and they have different way of social behaviour. i'm not saying whether it's better or worse or right or wrong i'm saying it is different and history and wherever you see a sort of forced coming together of different you will find social. there is no if there is no but and i say that as a police officer having, one of thatis police officer having, one of that is that one of the reasons why many them are coming here is because of massive social tensions in their own country. indeed. but when you when you put together different acceptability or norms. i should say norms as to social behaviour. yes. then then there is going to be a point at which one irritates frustrates , one irritates frustrates, annoys, aggravates the other . annoys, aggravates the other. and after a period that building up, then there will be tension. so you have protests and when you have a protest it's very for easy spill over into what we should remember is that there were pro asylum seekers there proto setting as well and. so the presence of those people also had an aggravating i'm not

blaming anyone no what we need to do is unpick it just find the causes. and one of the reasons why i was so keen so if i saw read about this, of course on friday night as it broke it rumbled on over the weekend and now the latest line here is that people in that hotel, which i could understand by the are basically scared to out and. basically scared to go out and. look, be right here, look, you would be right here, but now is something but my fear now is something that i've been quite long that i've been for quite a long time , which is because of time, which is because of perceived inaction or genuine inaction about the asylum seeker crisis, because people feel as though you're ordinary man and woman who wants to have a chance. this kind of stuff in their own home is afraid to maybe raise legitimate concerns. they are afraid of being called a racist or things like that. their local council , their local their local council, their local mp isn't being consulted about things taking place in their area. seeing people who, area. we seeing people who, whilst in, i'm sure the vast majority cases well—meaning but as you said, do from different cultures with different norms and this is only getting worse . and this is only getting worse. my and this is only getting worse. my concern that people feel

my concern is that people feel and really act wrongly, but react this kind of way. and that's not just is going to keep happening. it is. and i suspect, patrick, it will get worse. frustrations build and of these numbers are not slacking off . numbers are not slacking off. you know we're seeing more coming and there are more coming in relation the people who in in relation the people who are being back , those are being sent back, those building numbers are building and what really your point is the government to blame government policy here? i think is negligent. you've just used the word predictable . that's the the word predictable. that's the word. i would have you should say it a couple of times for now, for years now, we can predict it. we certainly it as a as a risk why isn't it being mitigated ? why do the government mitigated? why do the government pursue policy of housing people in local hotels without , in local hotels without, consulting with a local community without , fully community without, fully consulting with the local authority? it bound to go wrong at some point . this is not the

at some point. this is not the way to manage a whole influx of . people who you don't know you don't know the background, you don't know the background, you don't that everybody is also it's also a record you know nothing , you it's also a record you know nothing, you are it's also a record you know nothing , you are not nothing, you are not safeguarding the public and you're not safeguarding the asylum either. the current system absolutely no winners because is not doing right by the local in a lot of these in a loss not doing right by legitimate asylum seekers either it's labelling all asylum with the same brush the inevitable outcome unless what need is purpose built facilities in which they can process people correctly and rapidly and none of that exists and i don't see any it on the radar thank you very as ever harry bolts and who is in charge of security and border expert just 3 hours into that story now you're me patrick christys on gb news coming up more than two weeks on the search for nicopolis up few clues as to what to the missing mum of two. i'll get the views of the police and crime experts

and that's coming your way after the break. what are the police really doing ? i'll be back to .

take oh, okay. welcome back. right. so the search missing. nicola bailey has been underway 17 days now with police turning attention to morecambe bay after the initial river search area found no trace of the mother of two friends and family have left handwritten messages of affection on yellow ribbons as it's been reported that many armed detectives weighing in armed detectives are weighing in now with their on nicola's now with their views on nicola's disappearance. joining now is disappearance. joining me now is former police crime commissioner and senior is martin underhill mba. martin. look, thank very, very much for this . initially, very much for this. initially, a lot of people were obviously very, very confused . it remains very, very confused. it remains an incredible mystery what's taking place here . people, i taking place here. people, i think, willing to accept the police's line . absolutely. sure

police's line. absolutely. sure as sure as they can be that she's gone into the etc. and here we are, 17 days on. and i think now microscope kind of focuses in a little bit on the police doesn't say and whether or not they've got this right. so what's your take on how the police have handled this investigation far from what we know going patrick. there's nothing worse than another cloak jewellery but . there are some jewellery but. there are some glaring issues in this case. one of which is actually we only what we know because we're told it's in the public domain. they haven't held a press conference since friday, to my knowledge, which is quite odd. certainly high profile cases like this . high profile cases like this. mccann. sarah palin . so on. the mccann. sarah palin. so on. the police are trying keep this in the public eye, trying to hold a conference or two press conferences a day . and we seem conferences a day. and we seem to be going very quiet on that front. and equally on the press handung front. and equally on the press handling of this case. normally, in a case like this, you would have senior officer, the chief

constable , running the media constable, running the media strategy , allowing the search strategy, allowing the search and detective experts to try and find . so there are some what find. so there are some what appear to be glaring errors in this case. and as you say, after 17 days, people asking questions. i'm certainly questions. i'm certainly questions. well, what what what questions. well, what what what questions are you asking in your experience as a police crime commissioner? what stands out for you? is areas of concern the way that the police have gone about looking? nicola bailey. there are three really obviously . they are on horrifying case with several other and also adviser. sorry but and what you learn on big cases that madeleine mccann was another is that there are three mantras that there are three mantras that you have to stick . the that you have to stick. the first one is respect the goal of our forensic evidence , witness our forensic evidence, witness memory sites quickly and you need to capture that in the first 24 hours. i states have done that and now suddenly we're

heanng done that and now suddenly we're hearing that they're going back to and get cctv from 1718 days ago and there's resumed talks to house to house which frankly is just bizarre . that should have just bizarre. that should have been done on day one. the second area for me is clear ground on the effects of another mantra unfortunately went wrong at soham because the police therefore were control centre are in the school where he lived and subsequently found out the bodies of the girls , kept the bodies of the girls, kept the police don't appear to have cleared the grounds under their feet either either expected that bench the famous where the fine was found to straight to the laboratory be tested for blood splatters on hair. can i can i ask what is what is. yeah exactly but but is this a case potentially. potentially by the way, at this point i will make it clear we have gone to lancashire police comment. we are yet to hear back. so there we go. but is this potentially a case of police having an

hypothesis backing it maybe a bit too much then now thinking are we stuffed up a bit here and wanting to do all they can try to just reaffirm that initial and not really possibly to the detriment of nicholas partner kids , friends etc. so . your kids, friends etc. so. your comment is a fair comment is. all i'd say . they have put all i'd say. they have put themselves a corner by ruling out third party and ruling out crime . actually what they need crime. actually what they need to do now 17 days in especially as the criticism is starting to rise they should appoint a new senior officer detective to overview this case and they should call in an outside force to review their actions up best practise and pick up learning points because actually the family deserve better than this . we haven't found nicola and we could be in this now for the long haul. this could be a

madeleine mccann. but actually, if we're going to size the bully family. i'm sorry but three months down the line, we still don't where your daughter don't know where your daughter or your partner or or your wife is. your partner or your to be able to your mum. we have to be able to say done everything and say we've done everything and frankly, they have frankly, i don't think they have done on what i've seen in the pubuc done on what i've seen in the public domain. martin thank you very, much. martin the very, very much. martin the hill, may be no less hill, there may be no less course. he a former police course. he is a former police and and a senior lecturer and crime and a senior lecturer for just team to this incredibly mysterious case. it continues to be one doesn't say it's of nicola. i just find it utterly fascinating that in this day and age, anyone frankly can go missing and stay missing for this length of time, especially when you consider the amount of resources have been put into this case. but we'll bring you latest if indeed we get any. you're with me patrick christys on a new book on gbs coming. a new book contains claims that more than 1000 children prescribed 1000 children were prescribed puberty at the puberty blockers at the tavistock after . just one tavistock centre after. just one face to face meeting. but right now i've got you headlines .

now i've got you headlines. patrick. thank you. the top story. the prime minister has refused to comment on spy balloons potentially being spotted the uk. it comes after the united states shot down a fourth object over its territory in just over one week. here, the defence secretary ben wallace announced the uk will now review its airspace security and rishi sunak says the country the military capability to keep the nation's skies safe . we have nation's skies safe. we have something called the quick reaction alert force which involves typhoon which are kept on 24 seven readiness to police airspace which is incredibly. i can't obviously comment in detail on national security matters but. we're in constant touch with our allies . and as touch with our allies. and as i said, we'll do whatever it takes to keep the country safe . to keep the country safe. taxpayers money is said to have been wasted . labour accusing the been wasted. labour accusing the government of lavish spending culture . the party analysed , the culture. the party analysed, the use of government procurement

and found foreign office spent almost . and found foreign office spent almost . £345,000 on dining and almost. £345,000 on dining and wining in 2021. the government denied being reckless with and says labour is wasting resources digging up information that's already in the public domain . already in the public domain. nato has said a russian offensive in ukraine has already begun.the offensive in ukraine has already begun. the secretary general jens stoltenberg says he sees no signs russia is preparing for peace as moscow has been sending in yet more troops and weapons. he believes ukraine needs fighterjets he believes ukraine needs fighter jets and he believes ukraine needs fighterjets and long—range fighter jets and long—range missiles to counter any new attack and to recapture lost territory . and within the last territory. and within the last half hour, buckingham palace has said the queen consort has tested positive for covid after suffering from what she had been cold symptoms . gb news cold symptoms. gb news understands camilla remains in good spirits and is resting but is said to be disappointed be unable to make this week's engage judgements. earlier on

today, camilla was forced to postpone a visit to the west. those are your latest news headlines. i'm back in half houn headlines. i'm back in half hour. see that .

welcome back, everybody now we should use the tavistock to remind us to, quote, stand up for the truth as we see it. so does the warning from business secretary kemi badenoch after a new book claims get this, that more than 1000 children in were given puberty blockers. former clinicians at the gender identity develop ment service at the tavistock clinic have revealed that complex children , revealed that complex children, often with mental health and family background issues, were put on serious afterjust a put on serious after just a single in—person appointment. so imagine that your child goes. that may be not child has autism , they've got other vulnerabilities, etc. they go to

a clinic, they say , i appear to a clinic, they say, i appear to be having some kind of gender dysphoria, maybe some of confusion about a sexuality . one confusion about a sexuality. one meeting, boom, you're on puberty . as a parent, how would you feel that? me now feel about that? joining me now is davis . feel about that? joining me now is davis. orion was is stephanie davis. orion was the transgender the director of the transgender trend, is a group of trend, which is a group of individuals concerned about the current trend to diagnose children as transgender . and i children as transgender. and i suspect that you have quite a lot to be concerned about. how do you greet if greece the right word? this particular revelation, the tavistock clinic children are around 1000 of them. a lot of them with mental health issues or different levels of ability, shall we say, and other vulnerabilities were very quickly put on medication that has a massive impact on. their physical development, your views . well, first of all, i'd views. well, first of all, i'd like to say when, is there going to be a public inquiry this because we've been campaigning for years to look at this more

closely internally at the tavistock there have been concerns raised and reviews conducted which show huge concerns amongst the clinicians working there . children are put working there. children are put on to this very life changing medication which will almost make some medical patients for life on the basis of far too few sessions . and there's evidence sessions. and there's evidence that the tavistock was very highly influenced by gender transgender lobby groups who have no . training or have no. training or qualifications in this area and the political ideological view . the political ideological view. so gendered intelligence, mermaids gyres and the evidence shows that they not only were treating children according this ideology but that they doubled down on that and got so for i find it really that they don't

even. find it really that they don't even . what sex 22% of the refer even. what sex 22% of the refer rules are in the latest latest figures 21 to 22 and they're not even collecting data by sex anymore and if you can't see the reality of sex even even in that bafic reality of sex even even in that basic data collection then this is a service that is that is based on ideology. well that's, the key point but that's the key point. people would say that ideology should have no place in medical procedures especially when it comes to children in many cases, very vulnerable children. if it was purely about medicine and somebody is being diagnosed the same way you'd diagnosed the same way you'd diagnose just just an illness. right then that's one thing. but you seem to be thinking this is ideologically driven . i think a ideologically driven. i think a lot of would have lot of people would have a massive problem with doing it well. it's the gender affirming

mental approach and the tavistock never come out and said, we go by the gender affirmative approach. but you can see that they do buy the ideological based groups that they've allowed to influence and have have have influence that they should not have parent groups. yes patient groups. but these are ideological. political campaigning groups . they should campaigning groups. they should not be influencing the health service and the health service service and the health service service , if we are to trust service, if we are to trust them, needs be based on reality , not on ideology. but this much, much wider than the tavistock . if you look at what's tavistock. if you look at what's happened at the tavistock i think exactly the same thing is happening in schools in, children's charities organisations that . we've lost organisations that. we've lost the reality of a biologic sex and we're treating children as if gender identity . what makes if gender identity. what makes you a boy or girl and not that not biological sex that's really dangerous . i not biological sex that's really dangerous. i think what we've

seen here is the most extreme of how that is . yes. and what to be how that is. yes. and what to be done about this now, because we're actually seeing people are coming out of this who are saying i suffered at the hands of this. i wish this had never happened to me. i was young i was vulnerable. i was naive. or is this more about people look maybe like yourself , for maybe like yourself, for example, who are saying you are opposed so we're opposed to this. so we're actually quotes , quotes, actually seeing quotes, quotes, victims . all i want is evidence victims. all i want is evidence based care. i want these children to have the same standard of care as any other child accessing services. that's we've ever called for in this area. well, we have keira , who area. well, we have keira, who brought the judicial review against the tavistock and terrible is the tip of the iceberg. the problem with this generation of children we won't know the percentage . those who know the percentage. those who regret the treatment , possibly

regret the treatment, possibly ten years time because it takes time for children grow up to grow up to mature and to realise what they lost through this treatment , which what they lost through this treatment, which may be their fertility. it may be their sexual function , their bodies sexual function, their bodies will be damaged in an irreversible way that they then have to live with for a lifetime . and so we don't know yet . and . and so we don't know yet. and this is an experiment . okay, this is an experiment. okay, stephanie, thank you very, very stephanie, thank you very, very stephanie davis, a writer director, transgender trend, even sorry about the gb news approach. the tavistock portman nhs foundation, trust for a comment. and here is what they told us. they said the gender identity development service on a case by case basis with , every a case by case basis with, every young person and their family thoughtfully and holistically with them to explore that situation with no expectation of what the right outcome for them might be. only minority of young people service people seen in the service referred for any physical interventions . the tavistock interventions. the tavistock comportment how heartedly comportment we how heartedly support our staff to raise concerns and recently concerns and have recently strengthened mechanism for

strengthened our mechanism for doing concerns relating young doing so concerns relating young people's wellbeing are taken and investigated so that we now. i don't know about you. i don't know about you. we're moving on now. i don't know about but a possible alien wasn't on my 2023 bingo card. although given the way the world is at the way that the world is at the minute, think i might actually minute, i think i might actually welcome us general welcome it. a senior us general hasn't out the possibility of auens hasn't out the possibility of aliens as four such objects have been shot down. they travel to see us airspace. china has taken ownership of the first one, but the remaining three. wow it's all a mystery. apparently to shed some light on this . i am shed some light on this. i am joined by former head of the mod's ufo . joined by former head of the mod's ufo. it's nick pope nick thank you very very much. now we're hearing a lot of a lot of guff about the fact that these might be weather balloons, about the fact that this is just espionage. but we all know the truth. nick, is aliens, isn't it 7 truth. nick, is aliens, isn't it ? well, i'm sure in this case, i'm sorry to kind of rain on people's parade, but i think

these four may well turn out to all chinese surveillance devices . it doesn't mean there aren't auens . it doesn't mean there aren't aliens out . it doesn't mean aliens out. it doesn't mean we're not being visited. that's still to be determined. but i think this is china , i think. think this is china, i think. fair enough. and the benefits of doubt when people read it transcripts of what i've just said there and they cannot tell the sound of my voice, that was a joke, but honestly, something more serious former. more serious myself the former. how the head of the how do you are the head of the modis ufo project? and one situation is this happen situation is like this happen you know people do hear about you know people do hear about you know people do hear about you know unexplained okay and they that are they hear about things that are you know they can't they can't say wasn't covertly stans say i wasn't covertly stans supposedly account for supposedly we cannot account for what some of these things are rather interesting mechanisms what some of these things are ratiexample sting mechanisms what some of these things are ratiexample interfere:hanisms what some of these things are ratiexample interfere with sms what some of these things are ratiexample interfere with radar for example interfere with radar etc. this would have slap bang on your desk, wouldn't it, if you still the absolute . and 95% you still the absolute. and 95% of these things turned out to be things with conventional explanations and, we're going to find that a lot of what we're looking at with ufos due turn out to be drones and

surveillance balloons and things like that, as i say it doesn't doesn't mean that there aren't other things out there so in a sense the general is right to rule everything out. but i think i think with four having i think with these four having happened much back to back, if the first ones china it's a pretty good that the next three all to make i think a of people are wondering what look is the reality just that governments especially like the us like china are in possession of technology that at the moment we don't all know but they don't all know about but they are years and years decades potentially ahead of where conventional technology tell us it is. and so when we look and see things or about things see things or hear about things not the case of this balloon not in the case of this balloon , example, some of the , for example, but some of the stuff is government stuff actually is government technology just way out of technology that just way out of our imagination at the minute. we can all calm down. we're not being invaded by aliens . yeah, being invaded by aliens. yeah, i that's right. i mean, the balloon of course, the first one in a sense, that's low tech. but the signal was intelligence array that was carrying that's

receipts thank you very much. i'll tomorrow i'll be back tomorrow from 3 pm. base people . hello p.m. base our people. hello there vautrey with there i'm jonathan vautrey with your latest weather updates from the met office. the new week has got off a fairly fine and dry got off to a fairly fine and dry start for many of us and that will continue into tuesday. but there is change on the way. there is a change on the way. thanks these fronts thanks to these weather fronts that gradually going push that are gradually going to push their the middle part their way in for the middle part of the week. for now, though , is of the week. for now, though, is this centre that's this high pressure centre that's across europe that is still largely in charge. so throughout monday there will a good monday there will be a good number of clear intervals. this will allow some fog to form, particularly across areas of england. be quite dense england. could be quite dense here. it will also a bit of a frost to form where we hold on to the clearest intervals but further we'll see a bit more cloud fringing into northern ireland. parts of western and england. so of the up here england. so all of the up here a bit more that cloud will continue on and off the day on tuesday in ireland, parts of western scotland may produce the odd bit of rain, but further to the east. once that focus clear way off be of a fairly fine

way off will be of a fairly fine day with some sunny intervals coming through fairly brisk breezes across western locations . well, but they're coming up from the south. so it is going to be a fairly mild parts of nonh to be a fairly mild parts of north wales, north cornwall, devon, around 14, 15 degrees south. again have some clear intervals overnight tuesday into the start of wednesday so another risk of some fog frost further east but it's those weather fronts that are going to start approaching for northern ireland, parts of scotland . we ireland, parts of scotland. we move towards dawn on throughout the day will then watch those as they move further towards east. it could be heavy in places first thing, but it will tend to fizzle out as it moves further east. so most of england, wales only seeing patchy only really seeing some patchy rain actually the far rain and actually the far southeast staying fine and dry. we'll see further weather fronts wanting to push in throughout the rest of the but our the rest of the week. but our focus really on this low focus is really on this low pressure centre could bring some fairly strong winds to the north for night into for thursday night and into friday it is to stay on the friday but it is to stay on the mild side throughout . see you mild side throughout. see you later .

ladies and gentlemen, a secret meeting. i mean , really sounds meeting. i mean, really sounds quite interesting. until you realise it was about brexit. people are saying that this was the first and next step, shall we say , in brexit. been betrayed we say, in brexit. been betrayed 7 we say, in brexit. been betrayed ? is it was it do you think people really want to brexit succeed? i have my own suspicions on that and business rates. the thorn in many a side, especially when you compare it to online businesses. unfair, perhaps advantage there, but should they be scrapped altogether? and if you think yes
