think that the vetting because think that the vetting and the continual performance review and accountability within the police if done properly, should serve that purpose. and i can't emphasise enough how important vetting is like. it i have not yet heard anyone make a persuasive argument that it's sensible to have a different standard entry to the police in manchester than you've got in london swindon as you've got in swansea. i mean, it just beggars belief . anybody could defend belief. anybody could defend that. but i think that that's what needs to be put in place on the 43 forces. i do think that there's more we could do a national and you know, operate on independence for the police in relation to their operations is very, very important . but is very, very important. but national standards it comes to things like vetting are also important. so in a sense if you've got national standards, it doesn't matter how many police forces, you've got but

you've got to have national standards and that's not just on vetting is obviously a discipline and procedures as well. can i bring you . well. if that can i bring you. in on. yes. welcome along, everybody here with you on gb news three until 6 pm. we've just heard keir starmer on the that i'll return that in a second but here's what's coming up this hour. so boris johnson is clinging on for his political he's released his defence into the all partygate drama . i'll the all partygate drama. i'll tell you all about that. but i'm asking is boris still a hero or asking is boris still a hero or a villain for you.7 do asking is boris still a hero or a villain for you? do the tories need to ditch him like labour ditched corbyn? other news, you were just hearing about it, right that homophobic, misogynistic and racist is the really as as the report says. i'm asking whether or not it should be defunded or does it need to go woke in order to survive. i very you know the news ladies and gentlemen. yes what a holy mess. do you know that one fifth of britain's roads will apparently be undriveable in just a few years?

serious of culture. leadership and standards . while labour and standards. while labour leader sir keir starmer says while the report is about the met police, it affects every force across the country there will be police forces outside of london who might shrug their shoulders and say this is an office . but i've worked in office. but i've worked in criminal justice for decades and i say to them , wake up the i say to them, wake up the findings in the casey report are a warning for. every police force . confidence must be force. confidence must be restored . policing by consent restored. policing by consent depends on trust . and when that depends on trust. and when that breaks down, policing becomes harder and crime thrives . deputy harder and crime thrives. deputy leader of lambeth council and direct the charity black thrived . dr. jackie dyer says discrimination is rampant. the mistrust is in every atom of every black in this city. we are

prime minister who gave the conservative a landslide victory in polls not to forget that in the last election faces a huge political moment when he faces a committee of mps. now it will make a judgement on whether pm bofis make a judgement on whether pm boris intentionally misled parliament over allegations downing street parties during lockdown today. boris defence to that committee has now been made pubuc that committee has now been made public and in this 50 page dossier he admits parliament. so he admits . dossier he admits parliament. so he admits. but he dossier he admits parliament. so he admits . but he writes that he he admits. but he writes that he would never have dreamed of doing intentionally. so that's of where we are. joining me now is gb news political reporter olivia utley. olivia, thank you very much . what is going on at very much. what is going on at the minute now? so we've got bofis the minute now? so we've got boris johnson's defence. what is it so boris johnson's defence rests on two elements. one is that he feels that the committee was biased from the beginning and he points to as evidence the interim report, which thinks shows bias language . and to the

shows bias language. and to the fact that harriet harman, who is the labour chair of the committee the committee, has a labour chair, does have a majority. but harriet harman tweeted last year saying that bofis tweeted last year saying that boris johnson knowingly to parliament, while he says if she was saying that last year before the committee even established, then can possibly judge the then how can possibly judge the judge? boris johnson aided on biased fashion. his other complaint, which is very clear in the dossier, is that he feels that the committee has gone beyond the scope of what it was supposed to do. so intentionally misleading parliament, lying to parliament is hanging offence essentially . any mp who does essentially. any mp who does thatis essentially. any mp who does that is going to be suspended from the house immediately. well, boris johnson says that committee cannot prove that he knowingly lied. so they have lowered the bar of what this offence is. what a contempt parliament is and is now using phrase knowingly or misleading, knowingly or recklessly misleading parliament. well lord pannick said that that makes lord pannick. is boris johnson's

legal casey? he says that that makes the inquiry unlawful full. so that is essentially what bofis so that is essentially what boris johnson's defence hinges on.and boris johnson's defence hinges on. and it hinges on the fact that he thinks that his advisers gave him the wrong advice and. he was bound to follow that if that advice was wrong. well that's not my fault. that's his defence. will it fly the committee tomorrow? i think we can expect fireworks. yeah, exactly . it sounds to me as if exactly. it sounds to me as if this committee is going to have to try to prove a feeling or an emotion. and that is quite tncky emotion. and that is quite tricky to do. what could happen next, then . so what is the worst next, then. so what is the worst scenario for boris johnson . scenario for boris johnson. well, yes, that's an interesting question because there are quite a few stages to what happens next. so you ask for the worst case scenario tomorrow , boris case scenario tomorrow, boris johnson gives his evidence. the committee , let's say, isn't committee, let's say, isn't having any it. the committee releases report that could be in the next couple of weeks and advises that boris johnson

misled deliberately or reckless misled deliberately or reckless misled the house of commons. well, if the committee decides bofis well, if the committee decides boris johnson did that, then the house will then get a vote on whether believes that boris johnson did indeed deliberately or reckless mislead parliament. now isn't whipping his mp he isn't whipping conservative mp. it's a free vote, which means can will be able to decide based on their own opinion whether or not. boris johnson deliberately the house. now i think we assume that there will be plenty of conservatives feel that he did deliberately mislead who want get rid of boris johnson so take this worst case scenario to the next next mp in the house next next step. mp in the house judge that boris did deliberately mislead. that means that they could a ten day suspension from the house of commons for four for a contempt of parliament. if it is a of ten days or more then the issue gets referred over to boris johnson's constituents in uxbridge and rye

slip . and if 10% of those slip. and if 10% of those constituents feel that boris johnson should be, then that triggers what's a recall petition and boris johnson will face a by—election now, boris johnson's majority in uxbridge and roy philip isn't wafer thin but it is only 7000 so wouldn't take many anti boris johnson just 10% to get rid of boris johnson altogether. that's the worst case scenario for boris johnson and it's all particularly olivia. look, thank you very much. well, summary is olivia utley, the political reporter outside westminster. i've been asking you, in light of boris johnson's now coming out ahead of , the inquiry that out ahead of, the inquiry that he's going to be a part of some other committee hearing, which we will be taking this we will be taking live on this show locked into. show to make you locked into. that johnson a hero or that is boris johnson a hero or a villain to you? and whether or not you think that order for not you think that in order for the tories to move they the tories to move on, they should what tried do, should do what labour tried do, which basically on from which is basically move on from . jeremy corbyn suffer from . jeremy corbyn they suffer from

long corbyn for a while, didn't they? they managed quite they? and they managed quite successfully ditch him. so should though should the tories. that though very the inbox very quick summary of the inbox very quick summary of the inbox very quick summary of the inbox very quick poll and katie, cathy even sorry cathy. we boris in and he was stabbed in the back. alan thinks he's the best prime minister churchill minister since churchill and trust boris trust and thinks that boris is still a hero and he's done nothing wrong in his eyes. those are the initial feedback. i'm guessing a different guessing if you have a different view know. view, let me know. gbviews@gbnews.uk okay. leaving details in that, leave a number as well. one of my producers might for a different day. might call for a different day. get we to have get you on. we always to have real people on the you real people on the news. you don't get that on other news channels . but another big story channels. but another big story in town, massive . the in town, massive. the home secretary braverman has secretary suella braverman has called the vast majority of police honest, decent and brave professionals. but has called for change. and it comes following a report into the met, which found institutional misogyny homophobia and sexism are rife within the force. so was commissioned following the abduction and murder of sarah everard , serving officer wayne everard, serving officer wayne cousins and it details stories

of cover ups sexual assault. 12% of cover ups sexual assault. 12% of women in the met saying that they had themselves harassed or attacked at work and the independent report's author baroness says the force needs a complete overhaul. the home secretary addressed . the commons secretary addressed. the commons earlier this afternoon and was calling for tougher action. there have been growing concerns around the performance of the metropolitan and its ability to command confidence and trust of londoners. this follows a series of abhorrent cases of officers who betray the public's trust and hideously abused their powers. today's report , powers. today's report, commissioned by sir mark's predecessor , makes for very predecessor, makes for very concerning reading. it's clear that there have been serious of culture , leadership and culture, leadership and standards . okay, so there are standards. okay, so there are calls to break up the disband ? calls to break up the disband? exactly what that looks like. we'll have to wait. see, does

the usual defund police stuff going on again? what does that really mean? also, calls say that if it wants to survive , that if it wants to survive, then the met needs to go. woke we're going to delve into all of those different things. i want your that. you know your views on that. you know what email address is. gb what the email address is. gb views news. .uk but for views at gb news. .uk but for a little bit more detail on report, going to on national report, i'm going to on national reporting costello, who reporting now ali costello, who was yard for was outside scotland yard for us. look , is well the us. ali, look, is well is the only way to describe it, really. what's it ? yes, it's a what's in it? yes, it's a blistering report, isn't into the metropolitan police force. i'll take you through of the main findings, patrick 12% of female police officers have expen female police officers have experi inside sexual harassment . 30% of lgbtq+ officers have been at work and black officers are 81% more likely to be in the misconduct system. over white colleagues . and there are colleagues. and there are stories as well. there's evidence in those 363 pages which has been submitted by fellow officers, and that

includes being packed with evidence during last year's heatwave , the fridges broke and heatwave, the fridges broke and that evidence was lost and it meant that alleged rape cases were then dropped . there are were then dropped. there are also cases where muslim who returned to change room to find pork in his shoes. stories officers urinating each other and sexually inappropriate behaviour taking place in the workplace as well . as you workplace as well. as you mentioned, this review baroness casey was commissioned the wake of the rape , the abduction and of the rape, the abduction and the murder of sarah everett. it took 12 months for that review took 12 months for that review to take place. and during that 12 months, that's when another serving metropolitan police officer, david carrick, was convicted of crimes, sexual crimes and offences against different victim names. this is the kind of culture that baroness casey was exploring in this report. suella braverman the home secretary has , been

the home secretary has, been responding to this report this afternoon in the house of commons . she says that the commons. she says that the primary and political accountability steps , as with accountability steps, as with the mayor of london, the metropolitan police commissioner, is actually accountable to the mayor of london, sadiq khan . she made london, sadiq khan. she made that point in the house of commons. and she says that she will holding the metropolitan will be holding the metropolitan police and the mayor of police force and the mayor of london to account to make sure that changes are made at the metropolitan police commissioner. sir mark rowley. he has apologised to londoners. he has apologised to londoners. he says that reading report, it is ghastly and it says that it bnngs is ghastly and it says that it brings up lots of emotions within him, including anger , within him, including anger, frustration and empower assessment. but he doesn't want to be drawn . the term to be drawn. the term institutional doesn't want to use that term. he says he's rather used the word systemic . rather used the word systemic. says it's more of a practical word means . says it's more of a practical word means. there's a focus on the good officers who are doing good work within the met. but there have been black and black organisations here today who are

not happy with that at all. they say how a change is going to be brought about in the met if there's not even an understanding the true extent of the problems within the metropolitan police force . yeah, metropolitan police force. yeah, look, thank you very very look, ali, thank you very very much is on national report there on scotland yard new on steps of scotland yard new scotland on scotland yard following up on this report just yes. again, so institutionally racist misogynistic , you name it. misogynistic, you name it. basically this report says the met is able to some more light on this. now i am joined the studio by former detective chief inspector mike neville. mike thank you very much for coming in and pleasure. i've got to ask, first and foremost, do you recognise this report. do you think is true? i think think that this is true? i think a lot of big problems in the a lot of the big problems in the met with supervision. but i've got words of this got to echo the words of this home that vast home secretary that the vast majority officers will be majority of officers will be decent, they'll be knives and all of wickedness. today, all sorts of wickedness. today, bravely defending the public. what's is leadership. what's failing is leadership. what's failing is leadership. what struck in the match is the amount of officers a sergeant would manage went from about five is no. ten, and be 12 and

15. how can you manage that? at the same time of there's always four assistant commissioners, they never got rid of assistant commissioners. rid of commissioners. they got rid of sergeants inspectors. sergeants and inspectors. they've recruited the wrong people , used to recruit lots and people, used to recruit lots and lots armed forces. that lots of armed forces. that hasn't as so. they say hasn't happened as so. they say it's a disciplined service . it it's a disciplined service. it isn't disciplined. it's all the people it's a group of people. it's a group of ex—students, loosely managing a number ex—students. but the number of ex—students. but the thing is with me is that these wicked like cousins who i would gladly carrick who should not in jail if we look at the nhs for example every day there's a doctor struck off for some wickedness . we're told there's wickedness. we're told there's doctors who've been molesting cancer child patients, a doctor who killed 250 people, a nurse on trial for killing seven babies. we don't hold an nhs to account and it's not fair in a way. and the report goes on about all the in the met, the 7 to 1% of police officers are male. well, 89% of nurses are female , but i don't care. do you female, but i don't care. do you 7 female, but i don't care. do you ? i care. but if i go to

hospital, i go to the police, i get a good service. i'm gay or straight, white or black and i think that what's happened is , think that what's happened is, the police has gone more and more woke . but the more woke it more woke. but the more woke it goes, the worse it we criticise ice for being misogynistic. it's criticised for being anti—gay and all this seems to have happened on the watch of the first lesbian commissioner. so it seems like the more what we go literally police has gone broke. well, so talk me about solutions then. we've identified the problems are the problems. the problems are there to read. do there for all to read. they do sound shocking on paper , for sound shocking on paper, for what it's worth. absolutely your point idea there point about the idea that there other institutions like the nhs where people do horrendous things and no one is out in the streets going defund the nhs and all of this stuff, but there are calls break up or the met calls to break up or the met what would that look like ? well, what would that look like? well, i can't say it can be done . it i can't say it can be done. it could take away national squads so the sort the anti—terrorist squad as a national responsibility, the parliamentary protection squad has a national responsibility . has a national responsibility. so you could say let's the

commission the police has got some role. it's got such a job. and with all the crime occurring in london, well, let's give them to different agencies. somebody else can manage those centralised squads. that's centralised squads. so that's like two, three, four, five different things. he doesn't have about. and then he have to worry about. and then he can crime because can focus on crime because i think london, what think people in london, what they're concerned about that, they're concerned about is that, you wanting 20 burglaries you know, wanting 20 burglaries is solved. you wanting 20 robberies. it isn't good enough. and for the rape charges and conviction rates and like that, i mean, especially for women at the minute in the capital city are not good enough. it's absolutely a mix. it makes people and what people want from police service. i reiterate this time and time again i don't care the vast majority of the public don't care the colour of the officer comes to see you. the sexuality of the officer she comes to say the of the comes to say the sex of the officer what they're though is a bad service. there's all of reasons for that. but 20% less on budget. the have on the budget. the police have to with all sweep all to deal with all sweep of all the mental health issues that they to deal with. also

they have to deal with. and also they're they're not they're training. they're not picking people no. why picking the right people no. why does this matter? why should this probably this matter? we have probably most of our viewers and listeners will be outside london. why should they london. okay. why should they care ? because the met care about this? because the met reflects that the met, the biggest police force in the country, times bigger than country, five times bigger than the one down greater the next one down greater manchester so it manchester police. and so it influences national policy, whether people like that or not, it really does influence national policy. what national policy. and what happens the met often what is happens in the met often what is going throughout but going on throughout country. but what see, we look for good what we see, we look for good examples of policing if look in greater manchester police simply things like the sergeant saying clean shoes, put your clean your shoes, put your shirts a grip having shirts on, get a grip having proper sound silly. proper means that sound silly. it doesn't clean your shoes and put your shirts on properly, but it the public get a better it means the public get a better service. there's focus, but the trouble is the matter been trouble is the matter has been focus in for so long, painting rainbows, whatever rainbows, the macarena, whatever else. focus on crime. you'll never please the politically correct people . more you go to correct people. more you go to politically correct. the more they i get that it is they want i get that it is certainly one of the solutions

that people will say, well, if it is institutionally misogynistic, homophobe , phobic, misogynistic, homophobe, phobic, sexist, etc, you name is not playing bingo, isn't it? with those things you name it the allegedly it people will be. well one of the ways to combat thatis well one of the ways to combat that is to do educational classes on things that you might classes on things that you might class being woke you don't think there's any in i don't think there's any in i don't think there's any in i don't think there's any merit . what the need there's any merit. what the need to do is vet people they join, train them properly the moment instead of going to an organised training school, which i went to with marching with drill sergeant, marching around with instructors, watching of 18 hours watching best parts of 18 hours of the day, you could pick out odd people that we had people people the in looking into at odd people that we had people peo momenta in looking into at odd people that we had people peo moment the looking into at odd people that we had people peo moment the vetting into at odd people that we had people peo moment the vetting isto at odd people that we had people peo moment the vetting is done the moment the vetting is done onune the moment the vetting is done online face to online you don't sit face to face. well that's isn't it. when i was i was a soldier. are you see, sergeant came to visit me in barracks all the while in the barracks all the while she would have visited family she would have visited my family home. those old ideas which home. all those old ideas which i say stupid id really do i say the stupid id really do work because you , the person in work because you, the person in it and the other i think you mentioned that we're to mentioned that we're going to have to leave it there. but the

other thing you mentioned as we should doing law and should not be doing law and order you can't do order on the cheap, you can't do law and on the and there's law and on the cheap and there's no around it. you know, the no way around it. you know, the fact is that people's they will defund the police. i mean, a lot of people would needs of people would say it needs more more the more funding. that's more the point. you very point. look, thank you very much. great to talk to much. always great to talk to you as martin neville, who's a former detective chief inspector. you of that, inspector. what do you of that, ladies your ladies and gents, get your emails gb or gb emails coming. gb views or gb news dot uk. so boris johnson is clinging life. clinging on for dear life. and then course we've the met then of course we've got the met police well. institutionally police as well. institutionally name what is but coming up polls polls pothole name what is but coming up polls polls ladies pothole name what is but coming up polls polls ladies and pothole name what is but coming up polls polls ladies and find othole name what is but coming up polls polls ladies and find out»le name what is but coming up polls polls ladies and find out the crisis ladies and find out the scale of the problem we face to make life more bearable for motorists. will believe motorists. you will not believe the time that one the length of time that one local saying will local area is saying it will take to in all of that take them to fill in all of that potholes give you a clue. it's

gb news of okay people. a new report into potholes has found that almost half of britain's roads are crumbling . almost 3 million

are crumbling. almost 3 million cars are forced off the road in the past year alone. in last week's budget, the chancellor allocated an extra £200 million to fix the roads. but estimates put the amount required in the tens of billions. put the amount required in the tens of billions . just quickly, tens of billions. just quickly, if you live in south gloucestershire, your local council is saying it will take i am not making this up hundred and 42 years to fix all the balls at the current rate. all south southwest that jeff moody went to. well i'll explain some of it geoff. the deep that damaging and they're worse than ever. damaging and they're worse than ever . they're just everywhere in ever. they're just everywhere in literally every single logical . literally every single logical. i've just passed my taxi and my husband also has to go over and the roads are actually horrendous is last month . so horrendous is last month. so i put a claim in because i got a and i missed my eye. so yeah it is really bad, she said. i think everyone needs to really council to look out really to and devon

mps lane who's lobbying of the chancellor, resulted in an extra £200 million on top of the 500 million already earmarked tackle the issue. i did get a mention in the budget. i had sat down the chancellor and also taken back some of the concerns from the council about problems of actually fixing potholes . has actually fixing potholes. has the longest road network in the country. by 2000 so is country. by 2000 miles. so is massive and therefore the challenges of getting teams out to fix potholes are much greater and so whilst i recognise that perhaps the county council have liked more money at least we have got some money and i will to work with our county council to work with our county council to see what else they need to really be able to fix potholes more effectively. but the asphalt industry alliance says they scratch is the surface they only scratch is the surface it's putting sticking plaster over a much bigger disease and that disease is that the road has been maintained properly and therefore holes formed within therefore holes formed within the surface of the road for the

they're living a happy life. they're all living a happy life. i'm

gb news. welcome back. now, if you watched or consumed a lot of other media outlets, you would be forgiven thinking that rwanda was some kind human rights was some kind of human rights cesspit. how how earth cesspit. how how, how on earth could anyone there? let be could anyone live there? let be said there as part of a refugee asylum seeker package. but we went there and an eritrean migrants who settled rwanda more than 17 years ago has told gb news that he has absolutely no regrets about moving the central african nation and the migrant now a chain of supermarkets now owns a chain of supermarkets in. kigali, his brother had in. kigali, with his brother had it time been planning to come to the home and security get it the uk home and security get it to mount why? he sent us this report from kigali too. critics rwanda has deeply flawed political with a lamentable on human rights . two others include human rights. two others include the british government. this an

intrinsically safe and prosperous country . the truth as prosperous country. the truth as always , is more complex and not always, is more complex and not well served by simple . and well served by simple. and whether this coffee shop on the outskirts of the capital kigali was opened four years ago by a husband and from yemen who fled the fighting there as refugees and eventually settled in rwanda . they've gone on to create a thriving business. or when we just landed in rwanda in the first few days, we decided we will not leave this country . will not leave this country. we've been in malaysia . she was we've been in malaysia. she was not like this keen or organised or save when we just arrived here, people they are so welcoming. they love, expat, you know , we saw this different , know, we saw this different, this is one of africa's most dynamic economies. all the more remarkable given genocide here

less three decades ago which left 800,000 dead and millions . left 800,000 dead and millions. pierre a number his family fled rwanda's war and eventually ended up in canada she's returned to be part of the regional region, setting up a business that champions local arts and design and the fact so many here were displaced by the genocide it has she says instilled a genuine compassion instilled a genuine compassion in many rwandans for the plight of refugees. it's definitely welcome because i think for us it's skill sets that are needed and there's things that will help elevate a lot of the work that we're doing. i know for us as a fashion brand, we're always looking to collaborate with people from all over the world. rwanda's critics say its leaders care little for the plight of those displaced in neighbouring congo, where it's accused of supporting rebel fighters there. still rwanda is currently host .

still rwanda is currently host. to 140,000 refugees. the eritreans owner of this kigali supermarket chain arrived here 25 years ago, after fleeing the fighting there. he was joined by his brother who decided to settle here rather than travel to study the uk. do you think people coming here as refugees sent here from the uk ? do you sent here from the uk? do you think that they have a of making a good life for themselves or will it be very . a good life for themselves or will it be very. i a good life for themselves or will it be very . i don't think will it be very. i don't think they will have any problem because this is a very very peaceful country, a very clean. things in order. how did the people have been but people who didn't have a lived here for such a long long year end and we wouldn't have been able to grow to this to where we are today. it would be wrong to suggest rwanda offers the same of opportunities and, personal freedoms as the uk . but from freedoms as the uk. but from what i've seen, it's clear there

is still plenty of potential for those who end here to make a good life for themselves and certainly enjoy freedoms than the they see their fleeing. allow this is a fast developing country . it's not all the way country. it's not all the way there yet and certainly needs to do more to meet western standards and human rights. but the country supporters say it's rapidly moving in the right direction . mark white gb news is direction. mark white gb news is in the rwandan capital, kigali . in the rwandan capital, kigali. yes. thank you very much, mark. that want to have more security added to you. fascinating report from kigali , rwanda, where a lot from kigali, rwanda, where a lot of people saying, well, why on earth would we send anyone that looks doesn't looks all right. doesn't say. i think. but anyway, back to our top story now. boris johnson has accepted that he misled employees insisted that his employees but insisted that his policy made in good policy denials were made in good faith what he honestly faith based what he honestly knew at the time. so the former

pm is to face a committee of m.p.s tomorrow. we will bring you that live here on, this channel on this show. so make sure lock yourselves in for that big pop culture of your big event pop culture of your fancy. to be fancy. and he's going to be grilled whether he grilled on whether he intentionally parliament intentionally misled parliament over lockdown breaches. over alleged lockdown breaches. at number 10. his defence has been made public today and it's a document he denies a 50 page document he denies deliberately misleading employees. i've been asking you throughout the course of the show to all this? show what reckon to all of this? is he a hero? a villain? so you do the tories need to cut him off. do what labour did with corbyn move on. let's corbyn before move on. let's speak to james who is speak now to james hill, who is the political correspondent speak now to james hill, who is the spectator. irrespondent speak now to james hill, who is the spectator. james,ident speak now to james hill, who is the spectator. james, look, the spectator. james, look, great you on the show. great to have you on the show. thank you very much. so, boris johnson, unleashes, johnson, as unleashes, do you buy that suddenly buy it? i think that suddenly bits of it which are plausible and, i think that he makes a number of good in in the in the report that's come out today in submission but was remarkable from page report from reading this 50 page report was actually little that was really new and partly for two reasons. first of all, we've done arguments we done these arguments death we rehearsed cards and rehearsed frozen cards back and forth. second of all, so we've

seen so much briefing, counter briefing over the past month or so by allies of johnson that so by allies of mr. johnson that there really wasn't a net so much was a surprise. as you say, he that he did mislead he accepts that he did mislead the his main sort of the house. but his main sort of contention that there is contention is that he there is no gun contained within no smoking gun contained within the message been released the message that been released that were telling that proves people were telling him time hang a sec, him at the time hang on a sec, this is now you can argue this is wrong. now you can argue to stretch credibility to stretch stretches credibility of course you see those pictures there and he ought really there and he ought to really have you telling the have known given you telling the of us what to do. but i think this quite sort of this is quite a sort of interesting purgatory for mr. johnson, the moment where there is potency. a sort of, is a potency. let's a sort of, you garden, you know, smoking garden, a killer blow. but he's also yet to free. now he is to get off scot free. now he is probably going say this is a probably going to say this is a bit of a witch hunt. and the thing biased and thing against me is biased and tainted. was there any truth to that? well, really that? well, what's really interesting, patrick, is the way interesting, patrick, is the way in which the arguments have switched slightly. as you switched slightly. so, as you say, lot a sort say, there was a lot of a sort of witch hunt, a lot of talk about sue a few weeks ago about sue gray a few weeks ago when it turns out she was to become keir starmer's chief of

staff. and yet you look at staff. and yet if you look at report relied report today, sue gray relied upon in this report, upon 29 times in this report, much than the case. much more than the actual case. the committee. shows the committee. and that shows really that boris and the supporters have switched their arguments a arguments here, which is a moment they arguing sue moment ago they were arguing sue gray and now that gray was biased. and now that depending of depending on her because of course, he wasn't course, she said that he wasn't responsible lots of the responsible for lots of the party were going on. so party that were going on. so i think the minister switching arguments. think arguments. i think you can certainly that there's certainly argue that there's been opportunism been a degree of opportunism this, it comes to this, but of course it comes to thatis this, but of course it comes to that is boris johnson was prime minister three years if he didn't systems in place didn't like the systems in place he done so. and it's he could have done so. and it's only now he's the other only now that he's on the other of it that he's not complaining about it a good or about it. okay. is it a good or about it. okay. is it a good or a bad for the tory party if bofisis a bad for the tory party if boris is completely vindicated because whichever way you dress it an absolutely it up, it wouldn't an absolutely stonking is still stonking majority. he is still an and know an incredibly chap and i know people hate and he is people love to hate and he is controversial, i that controversial, but i reckon that if he did stand for election again got have a winning again he's got to have a winning thing. got to have thing. he's got to have a winning thing. so it would be a good thing for the tory party, if he was vindicated or you if he was vindicated or do you think want him think that they just want him out and they can move clean

out and they can move on, clean break, suffer long corbyn break, not suffer long corbyn like party. i think like the labour party. i think the would be if he the worst they would be if he gets than ten days and gets more than ten days and there is a by—election i think there is a by—election i think the worst thing would be it would be if there was a by—election defeat i think they'll about they'll reopen questions about he leader. so he was the right leader. so think of people will think that lots of people will be he get be hoping that he doesn't get that. and that's why a little that. and so that's why a little bit sceptical perhaps whether we'll see of suspension more than because don't than ten days because don't forget this is a committee of seven them seven four for them conservatives. are they really to the process for to open up the process for a possible. i'm a bit sceptical, so to wait and see. so we'll have to wait and see. good thank much good stuff. thank you very much as ever. james hill there, who is the political correspondent at the spectator. we're at the spectator. now we're moving to derby, moving on. we're going to derby, ladies gents, because has ladies and gents, because has been announced as the location host, the headquarters of the new great new public sector body great british railways, transport secretary the secretary mark confirmed the decision today following reports that midlands have been that the east midlands have been successful in bid. but what does it really mean for derby and the surrounding area? who better to bnng surrounding area? who better to bring us this than our very own east midlands reports that will hollis who is that for us now.

well good stuff. what's going on in derby . good afternoon. yeah. in derby. good afternoon. yeah. bnan in derby. good afternoon. yeah. brian if you'd come to me a few moments ago, it was actually raining for the sun's come out just in time for here, patrick. this, of course, is the news that derby has been waiting for the few months , because it the last few months, because it was up against big contenders like newcastle birmingham like newcastle and birmingham doncaster as well. but it has today been given opportunity to host the headquarters for great british railways? great british railways is of course the government body that's going to be taking network rail is , going be taking network rail is, going to absorb network rail in their response . it's going be response. it's going to be taking a whole load of responsibilities from the department transport and ultimately it's because of reform. so it's going to be taking over things , fair taking over things, fair pricing, timetables , contracts, pricing, timetables, contracts, put in. it is ultimately about reform and bringing some change the railway. so lots of people here in derby will be very that they are essentially at the centre of that at the centre of

this revolution including the leader of derby city council, chris porter . leader of derby city council, chris porter. the leader said we're absolutely that derby has been selected to become the home of great british railways. this result is a testament to the hard work of our team alongside key rail and city partners. it's not just local councils though. a whole of organisations as well . different companies like ashram, which is the biggest manufacturer manufacturer of rail cars here, england. there's around 11,000 people that work in derby , bringing this kind of in derby, bringing this kind of a thing to. derby is almost like bringing the railways home. oh fantastic stuff. well, lowell, thank you very much and great news to the people of derby. great news for potentially some kind levelling up agenda at kind of levelling up agenda at least that might starting at least that might be starting at some soon. well, some point soon. well, how is the of water in the expenditure of water in derby just reacting the news anyway going be the anyway that it's going to be the new how's the new new locations? how's the new pubuc new locations? how's the new public body? british public sector body? british railways in their headquarters. so, well done everyone in

so, yes, well done everyone in derby anyway that are now derby anyway so that are now could computing be using a body double when he's out and about a cab official as that putin is being cited with chains after he analysed footage of the russian president. can we keep that picture on the screen for us? because i want to talk us through them for our radio listeners and i am now about to describe chins. so he went to on a trip to mariupol and ukraine on the left. this is on the 21st of february this year. what our tv viewers were able to see in a relatively chain, little bits of give i'm to whiz you over give. i'm going to whiz you over now sevastopol, which was on now to. sevastopol, which was on the 18th of this month and that is a sergei it is it is a whopping great big chain looks a little bit like a turkey and if we go over to the 19th, which is supposedly the day after that completely new face, ladies and gentlemen a defined jawline it like he's got a kind of the jawline of action man anyway many leaders have been suspected doing this in the past. saddam hussein to mind he had loads of

body double, some more successful than others, it's fair say kim jong is fair to say kim jong un is believed to have numerous different and different body doubles. and joining is a man who's joining me now is a man who's walked the various walked made sure the various different profile people have been incredibly over the been kept incredibly over the course of their lives. is security he's security will get he's international man of mystery himself of course they couldn't do body double if you will because they broke the mould they didn't they? but they made you, didn't they? but do you think that do you do you think that vladimir body double? vladimir putin, a body double? yes i think it's highly likely. and to be honest, there's been a lot of analysis that have been done on certainly his recent visits to ukraine. there are such discrepancies you've just illustrated patrick that would say to us that he's certainly that the ukraine intelligence services to believe, at least three body doubles and to be honest, patrick, that's not unusual most world leaders will have some kind of decoy that they can deploy in certain circumstances to keep safe . so

circumstances to keep safe. so do you think that the reality is that putin is just locked in some kind of bunker himself in russia or what what is he doing? he's just sending these actors. isupposed he's just sending these actors. i supposed abroad to be there on his behalf . yeah, it's not his behalf. yeah, it's not inescapable. i mean, certainly a lot of reports that are certainly circulating at the moment that vladimir putin is incredibly unwell and this would play incredibly unwell and this would play into certainly things that recent visits to the kremlin to meet with putin. you know, there was certainly some footage of putin looking very unstable , putin looking very unstable, shaky, and certainly of the things which is an indicator on decoys is that quite often they will be subjected to extensive plastic surgery to mimic obviously that host or if you like their boss they often quite often not engage in high level engagements or discussions which are publicly recorded by the media and they are occasions

where even body language can't mimic their host. and certainly on the visits to ukraine, there were reports that the gesticulation, the use of the hands by the decoy was quite out of to what we're used to vladimir putin actually doing . i vladimir putin actually doing. i mean, is it quite dangerous work being a vladimir putin body double not because some of mine tried to assassinate you think he the real guy also if you get it wrong then , well he probably it wrong then, well he probably finishes you off himself . he oh, finishes you off himself. he oh, there is that impulsive . there is that impulsive. certainly. i heard rumours that happening to certainly some of saddam hussein body doubles and apparently there was allegedly of some of his body doubles are being replaced and leave that to your imagination as to that might have meant patrick yeah well will the security themselves be aware of this will people who were in russian held territories within ukraine be aware of this. so, i mean, is everyone in the dark ? oh, well, everyone in the dark? oh, well,

everybody to a certain extent is kept in the dark. i mean even the closest entourage will be kept in the dark a certain kept in the dark to a certain degree. inevitably, there will be communiques, terms the be communiques, in terms of the planning, scheduling the planning, the scheduling the movements and everything else that, there will be that that, there will be those that will have been deployed obviously their protection obviously as their protection officers used. officers that will be used. i mean, for i certainly for a number of or well know sort individuals works with decoys. i may have been known to warn away and driven off in a vehicle and the paparazzi in my direction decoy them from following my main principle. so you know, it's not uncommon, patrick oh, good stuff. all right . thank you good stuff. all right. thank you very much. as i have a wonderful insight that we'll get his security expert responding to those allegations that putin is using a body double when he goes abroad. you those pictures abroad. bring you those pictures again but again in a little bit. but coming up, terror police investigating man set on investigating after a man set on fire walking home from a birmingham mosque. all reports are in the midlands. we'll have more on that story very, very

conservative party. a landslide important people don't forget that's i think in the last election faces a political moment tomorrow when he faces a committee of mps it will make a judgement on whether, as pm bofis judgement on whether, as pm boris intent genuinely misled parliament over of downing street parties during lockdown. well, today , boris johnson's well, today, boris johnson's defence to that committee has been made public. it's a 50 page dossier and he admits misleading parliament, but writes that he would never have dreamed of doing so intentionally. so he's refusing . well, the intent isn't refusing. well, the intent isn't a really . what do you make of it a really. what do you make of it all? loads emails coming in. a lot of people have been saying categorically like lynda boris is , a hero, this is a witch is, a hero, this is a witch hunt, betty. it's very clear that burrows is facing a witch bullying. comes from parties, bullying. it comes from parties, civil aspects of you. civil service aspects of you. dawn says he was elected as the people's pm. between the media and the labour party who were afraid him. they set out witch afraid him. they set out a witch hunt. a lot of this hunt. there's a lot of this coming you coming in. if you feel differently to and you differently to that and you think the tory should cut think that the tory should cut bofis

think that the tory should cut boris adrift move on boris johnson adrift move on a little bit like labour did with corbyn. know . corbyn. okay, then let me know. what make of all of this? what do you make of all of this? gb views. gb news dot uk. joining me now is gb news is political olivia utley with the very latest and tomorrow live here on this show. actually it will be d—day for boris once it . yes. well, i think can expect some fireworks tomorrow if this dossier by boris johnson is anything to go by his defence amounts to lots of correspondence between him and his advisers suggest that his advisers told that he could stand up in good faith in parliament and say that he hadnt parliament and say that he hadn't broken any lockdown rules . so he says, well, that's what my advisers told me. i just relayed it in parliament, okay, they got it wrong. but what i supposed to do, i was a busy i was prime minister. i was working day and night through the pandemic. time the pandemic. i didn't time to go nitty of go through the nitty gritty of exactly the regulations were my advisers that for me they advisers did that for me they got it wrong not my fault but his other more association

his other and more association in this dossier is that the committee is bias. he suggests that. committee is bias. he suggests that . harriet committee is bias. he suggests that. harriet harman, who's the labour chair , the seven strong labour chair, the seven strong mp committee , was already had mp committee, was already had already . the boris johnson was already. the boris johnson was guilty before even sat down in that room. she tweeted twice last year, saying that boris johnson had knowingly or words to that effect, and boris johnson suggests that amounts to a prejudgement of the case also says that the committee beyond the scope of what it was supposed to do now it's supposed to ascertain whether boris johnson intentionally misled parliament, but it has changed the wording of what it's of the report it's going to give and it now says it's going to ascertain whether boris johnson deliberately or recklessly misled parliament or recklessly misleading is different from intentionally misleading parliament. there is a subtle nuance, but boris johnson will argue all they're supposed to

say is whether they lied. they can't prove that he lied and recklessness doesn't have any precedent in parliamentary terms. so it's quite a scathing dossier on the work of the committee . and already there are committee. and already there are plenty of conservative mps who have stood up and said i agree with boris , so i think we can with boris, so i think we can expect to hear quite a lot from the former prime minister tomorrow . and this whole ferrari tomorrow. and this whole ferrari isn't away any time soon. the committee won't release its report for week or so and it finally does. there are another quite a few stages to go through . so for those hoping that they'd seen the back of boris johnson, well, you've got another thing coming. yeah, indeed. terms of indeed. and just in terms of boris's looking ahead, what could for and the could this mean for him and the tory could he lose seat. tory party, could he lose seat. what happen . yes, what could happen. yes, potentially he could lose his seat. so when the committee reports back to the house of commons it will decide whether or not he intention really misled parliament and it decides that he did it recommend some

form of sanction. now that sanction could be a suspension of a couple of days in which case boris johnson would go back and that would be the of it. but if it's a suspension of a ten days or more then that automatically triggers what's a recall petition which means that the constituents of uxbridge get to decide whether boris johnson should face a by—election and it only takes 10% of the constituents of uxbridge and bicep to decide that boris johnson to face a by—election for that by to happen. now boris's majority in roy slip is around 7000 so it's not a poetic clearly tory leaning constituency and you can well imagine 10% of those constituents saying, yes, we want to by—election and if that by—election happened well who's to say but twice in the last ten years or so there have been recall petitions triggered by elections sorry three times and in two cases a by—election has been triggered and the mp has lost seat. so they're certainly as for boris to lose that .

as for boris to lose that. olivia, thank you very much . olivia, thank you very much. olivia. olivia our political reporter outside of westminster is drawing, solving inbox gbviews@gbnews.uk and the word witch hunt or words it two words got a hyphen in the middle of anyway which one is in there? so many times it should be trending on twitter i think a lot of you are up in arms about it was a witch hunt from day one from the media in parliament. opposition says and it's kangaroo court says and it's a kangaroo court says and it's a kangaroo court says manchester's says neil and ian manchester's got more nuanced got slightly more nuanced view, though reserving though he's reserving his judgement if judgement and he says that if bofis judgement and he says that if boris johnson is found to have knowingly then should knowingly lied, then he should face consequences face the consequences essentially. that's our essentially. and that's our democracy worth nothing. democracy is worth nothing. if he hasn't sanction, it's going to be a tricky one for this committee noting committee is worth while noting there is a conservative majority on stun on this committee should stun bofis on this committee should stun boris stead. boris johnson in good stead. does the party really want does the tory party really want to up a massive of to open up a massive can of worms potentially, have a by—election, potentially lose a seat no but seat as well? i suspect? no but yes, tomorrow this time. tomorrow. yes, this time tomorrow , you will watching tomorrow, you will be watching this show and watching boris johnson being essentially i wonder whether or not he will

emerge victorious anyway. we'll have to wait and see. but moving on another big one, this the home secretary. what home secretary. so what a problem has called the problem it has called the investment of police investment property of police officers brave officers honest, decent, brave professionals . but call for professionals. but call for change and it comes following a report into the max found institutional misogyny , institutional misogyny, homophobia and sexism was rife within the force . it was within the force. it was commissioned following the abduction and murder of sarah everard by serving officer wayne cousins. it details of cover ups and sexual assault with 12% of women in the met saying they had themselves been harassed or attacked at now the independent report's author is baroness casey and she says that their force needs a complete overhaul. it's opened up a whole of questions here. what does defund the police really look like? people banging on about social media? well, what size the anarchy could you break up the map? more regional forces, people they need people saying they need more training maybe needs to training. maybe the met needs to go. woke in to survive. go. woke in order to survive. but get more now. the but let's get more now. the detail this from our

detail of this report from our national reporter. it's ellie costello, who is outside news scotland yard. yes, ellie, i think last we spoke, you described it as blister ring, didn't you? what's in it? yeah, well, it's pretty scathing , well, it's pretty scathing, scathing, blistering, whatever word want to use, patrick, but it doesn't make for good reading, that's for sure. 363 pages. why thought just running through the main finding things . 12% of female police officers say they've experienced sexual 30% of lgbtq+ officers say they've bullied at work . and 81% they've bullied at work. and 81% black officers are 81% more like me to in a misconduct system than their white collar . and than their white collar. and there were also evidence in those 363 pages evidence that was submitted by metropolitan police officers, and that included fridges being packed full of evidence that broke dunng full of evidence that broke during last year's heatwave in

that evidence was included. rape evidence . that meant that some evidence. that meant that some of those cases had to be dropped. there was also an instance of a police officer who was a muslim who found home in his shoes when she returned to the changing rooms . two the changing rooms. two instances of police officers urine eating on each other and sexual inappropriate behaviour taking place in the workplace case. now this review by baroness was brought about commissioned after the murder of sarah everard and this was quite stark. baroness casey has warned that the force could harbouring more killers like wayne cousins . it is really alarming the findings in this review. this afternoon the home secretary was speaking in the house of commons. she called for change in the metropolitan police and she said she would be holding the mayor london sadiq khan and the mayor london sadiq khan and the police force to the metropolitan police force to account and will measuring that progress regularly as well. sir

keir starmer has also given his response to the report . we are response to the report. we are planning to hear labour a little bit more about what they would do to tackle in this country a little bit later this week. but he the biggest danger today that this becomes just another report. he says that this needs to be a time of reckoning . this to be a time of reckoning. this needs to be a time of change. he's also suggested , might not he's also suggested, might not even just be the met, could be across the entire nation and it forces and down the country small growly he's accepted the report's findings, but he doesn't the word institutional and that is what many people are taking issue with today patrick lots of criticism about that, saying how can we fix problems in the metropolitan when in the metropolitan police when sir rowley just don't even sir mark rowley just don't even want bottom ? the want to get to the bottom? the true extent of the of the problems of the metropolitan police force . ali, thank you police force. ali, thank you very much ali costello that on national reporter just the steps of new scotland yard. well, joining now in the studio is the

chair of haringey independent stop and search monitoring group it's thank very it's catalyse. thank you very much coming in. do you much for coming in. do you acknowledge this report. you think it's accurate centuries instead . usually sex is , racist, instead. usually sex is, racist, misogynistic, homophobic , you misogynistic, homophobic, you name it. the met is apparently well, it may be a light bulb moment to you, but it's been things that we have been going on banging on about over the last 30 years. me personally saying that we in the in the black community have been facing this unfair practises the police simply. what is that we the sort of policing that we've been having in our community we've turned it as a police force as opposed to a police service . opposed to a police service. this is why , as i said, it may this is why, as i said, it may be unfortunate that taken the sacrifice of a white woman for them to get to this stage here today , and i'm still today, and i'm still uncomfortable with the met

commissioner who's not acknowledging this . how deep acknowledging this. how deep ingrained the problem and is alluding it like a common cold, then rather a serious cancerous disease. do you think he is because he's taking issue the word institutional now i can understand that for two reasons. firstly at the end of the day, he's in charge of the man and he does have to represent his own officers. so he probably wants to stand up for the good police officers. a and not say that it's institutional but is it's institutional but he is basically the basically accepting the vast majority report what majority of this report what needs be done and this is needs to be done and this is this is really the discussion i think needs to be had over as this is out there now, this report is out there now, what happens now? are what happens now? people are talking police. talking defunding the police. people about, breaking up people talk about, breaking up the matter, but people are talking them talking about making them do more that can more training, that they can deal issues better. and you deal with issues better. and you know, people saying, oh, they need go woke or whatever, need to go woke or whatever, what needs to what what do you think needs to be done? but a person personally i give the i would still give the commissioner the to bring about

the change that's required because i've seen that he's done a number of things since he's been put into that role, which are bringing about changes but the problem is he has to understand how deeply entrenched the problem is because if he doesn't acknowledge that then he may make the same mistake he did when he was the head of the parliament. so you think you think he needs to just carry on doing? he's doing, but actually just come out and say , i do just come out and say, i do think my force is institutionally racist , institutionally racist, misogynistic and homophobic . misogynistic and homophobic. just those words, those would be comforting to a lot of people in not only community, but across the range communities that i represent and often talk to include also the major one, the white community. because all it is that we need to bring to an end today . this is not going to

end today. this is not going to we cannot keep repeating the same mistake that's been happening over the last years. we want to use this opportunity to drive real change. what is real change that lives here? real change look like more i would say more local community policing . i think at the moment policing. i think at the moment the met is like a big old tanker that's going the wrong way . and that's going the wrong way. and if you keep keep it as it is as a whole , it's going to take a whole, it's going to take a long time for it turns. it may be quiet. i will give him the opportunity first by may require it down the line maybe breaking and being in small bites where it's more manageable . then then it's more manageable. then then the big is something that's been floated. it's more regional policing, as it were, as opposed to this this one big body. policing, as it were, as opposed to this this one big body . see to this this one big body. see it. but some people will that some police officers going forward. now as a result of this report or through other reasons might too scared to do that job.

or they might think when it comes to things like stop and search or when it comes to various things they might be worried they could be accused of racism, sexism or whatever just racism, sexism or whateverjust by virtue trying to do that job is that hard thing to walk that tightrope or not? well, it is. and i would say to those officers and i would encourage to look getting a career in the police and from all backgrounds. but i would say them so long as you stay professional and you stay within your integre , it may stay within your integre, it may it may not be evident straight away , but people will eventually away, but people will eventually warm to because they said that you are different and you are not prepared to keep up. what has before you so would you say to members of the black community that they join the police or not because unless people all different backgrounds and colours in london is probably the most diverse city

in the world, certainly one of our last people of all different and backgrounds and ethnicities and, and sexual and, genders and sexual orientations joined mat then presumably really going presumably is not really going to any better, but the to get any better, but the minute they are looking at a force that people are saying well is misogynistic and well this is misogynistic and racist and so racist homophobic and also so where you that. personally where are you that. personally i believe for personal personally that it's a good career it should be something that i don't see why anyone from my community should look at that as a serious on taking that's so racist that people of ethnic minority background should avoid joining it's not that i've think is that if you get enough in there you can change the culture but if we get just a few in they're going to keep up what we it a laddish behaviour that we are exemplifying the men where we are today but. exemplifying the men where we are today but . as i said, we are today but. as i said, we need people go in there in great numbers to bring about that change. at the moment it's a little drip, drip, drip that's going in and that's not going

and the drift is going in. i think they're going to get consumed by the culture that still remains in the man. i'd really appreciate you coming in. thank very much. always a pleasure, matt. cheers for that of change. that is the chair of the harrogate independent's dumping surge group reacting to this absolutely bombshell report that's case that's dropped today. in case you've the move with you've living on the move with your the your fingers and you raise the mat just brazenly called institutionally racist, homophobic misogynist. yeah, this is a shocker for the mat, basically. anyway, we're on now because this story broke not long ago, but we're gonna bring it to you now. we've got a bit more detail, i think counter—terrorism are supporting the a man who was allegedly the into a man who was allegedly set alight walking home set alight while walking home from a mosque in edge bastion in birmingham. one person has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. police say attempted murder. the police say the remains in stable the victim remains in a stable condition after the terrible incident . let's get the latest incident. let's get the latest now from gb news is west midlands reporter is john. yeah john, what's going on? well,

perhaps what we know is around 7:00 last night, a man was walking from the dudley road mosque, which is than half a mile from brixham here in edgbaston in when after a conversation with a man, he there was a liquid chucked on him and then he was set alight. police paramedics, fire service were all called here to the road. and as you mentioned, the man taken to hospital where after suffering serious burns to his face, he still remains in serious condition. but thankfully, we think not life threatening. the latest we've got, of course, is that counter—terror and police are now involved in the investigation because the west midlands are aware of a similar incident in london, which happened on the 27th of february, where an 82 year old man was also the victim of, a knife attack where he was set alight on singapore road in london. the metropolitan , of london. the metropolitan, of course, are still investigating that and the midlands police and are working with them and counter—terrorism to try and work out whether these two

events are linked. the man that was arrested today was arrested here on this road after police were going around door to door enquiries and he remains in custody . but we're still not custody. but we're still not sure either of the motive of this attack. the chief superintendent, richard north, used to commander at birmingham police that are investigating and continues with support counter—terrorism police in west midlands who have access to special capabilities to help establish the full circumstances around the incident . they say around the incident. they say we've got officers patrolling area to reassure people who are visiting local faith establishments to keep them informed that they're taking this matter extremely seriously and are using all resource available to us as. and are using all resource available to us as . following available to us as. following the attack birmingham , city the attack birmingham, city council leader ian ward , along council leader ian ward, along with cabinet members and local council members for the wards here, released a joint statement saying that this a horrific attack and our thoughts are with the victim and his family at such a distressing time the councillors and community safety team are speaking the

doncaster. we're talking all of this

next all right, everybody now, if the tories want to win the next general, they must retain at least some red wall seats across the north and the midlands that they won from labour at the last general election. one such seat is don valley outside doncaster was tory for the first time in 2019, but in november, doncaster and airport closed many. 2019, but in november, doncaster and airport closed many . local and airport closed many. local voters are very, very angry and i can see why and they're campaigning to this regional airport. well, good economics and a liam halligan . and business. a liam halligan. it has special report us it has a special report us doncaster airport last november thousands protest but angry at the closure of this busy south yorkshire air hub also serving nearby sheffield doncaster posted daily flights to the us mainland europe less 20 years

old. this world class facility now lies dormant airport owner the peel says it's financially unviable unviable . local garage unviable unviable. local garage owner mark chadwick shocked when doncaster airport closed. he of a protest group on social media you couldn't find why it was closing, what it was closing for, who was closing it. so i set up facebook group just to just do something just to see if we could find out what was happening. the first day we had a thousand members, first we had 4000 members. it's travesty 4000 members. it's a travesty that what's to our local airport , the online campaign to save doncaster sheffield airport's now has over 20,000 followers and rising . this was fittingly and rising. this was fittingly which for decades hosted fondly airshows as captured in this home movie . the case for home movie. the case for doncaster today rests on its location. close sheffield in lincolnshire before lockdown.

doncaster posted 1.4 million passengers in 2019 alone. generating directly and indirectly around 3000 local jobs just. 90 minutes by train from the capital doncaster could also take pressure off london's busy . also take pressure off london's busy. business leaders also take pressure off london's busy . business leaders say also take pressure off london's busy. business leaders say this closure is a disaster for the local economy. think about taxi drivers , local hotels, bed and drivers, local hotels, bed and breakfast caterers . know all of breakfast caterers. know all of those small businesses that you supply. those small businesses that you supply- supply those small businesses that you supply. supply the airport were in don valley , a red wall seat in don valley, a red wall seat the tories won in 2019 and need to retain . the local mp says to retain. the local mp says labour on council and measured by facility as happened teesside airports in north—east is what happenedin airports in north—east is what happened in the north with ben ben houchen and he actually brought a conservative mayor, bought the airport and made work. we need the same thing to happen here at doncaster's parklands social club. locals are adamant that airport should

survive . they don't need a third survive. they don't need a third runway gatwick . they don't runway gatwick. they don't screen you out. don't suspect it's over the counter . sheffield it's over the counter. sheffield airport shut down. a few years ago . so really , doncaster should ago. so really, doncaster should have taken up the slack on that. and why shutting still but mr. find why it's why it's actually closing to sell the land for housing we'll get more money than selling it as an airport all using an airport and keeping it running. peel group refutes this , says the high fixed costs this, says the high fixed costs associated with running a regulated airport mean a break even business plan be identified for the foreseeable future . for the foreseeable future. planes haven't landed in doncaster since november, but the campaign to save this regional hub is in full flight. liam halligan gb news is well fresh back from doncaster is economics and business editor liam halligan on the money.

economics and business editor liam halligan on the money . yes, liam halligan on the money. yes, look, i mean, this is a massive thing the conservatives surely should be doing . they want to should be doing. they want to retain seats like doncaster . retain seats like doncaster. that would be an obvious sign of mysterious levelling agenda. mysterious levelling up agenda. wouldn't it. we've seen lots of regional airports. patrick sheffield , i mentioned in sheffield, i mentioned in package there they've trouble for plymouth airport or newquay airport . bradford leeds airport airport. bradford leeds airport and many, many others. and yet airports are often magnets investment they generate lot of local employment directly , local employment directly, indirectly , and they help to indirectly, and they help to level up the country . i indirectly, and they help to level up the country. i think levelling up should be built for around the building of social housing council housing, getting the housing market going . but the housing market going. but also, i think it should be built around regional airports. and when she was prime minister liz truss promised that she would save doncaster airport. but she's out on our air and it seems that doncaster pull her close. yeah. no indeed . and also

close. yeah. no indeed. and also as well it's worth while . a bit as well it's worth while. a bit of a nod ahead to tomorrow. isn't localism news regarding interest rates? is that what's going lots going on? yeah, there's lots of economics news around. we're going with that going to stick with that doncaster the way, the doncaster story, by the way, the strength feeling locally is strength of feeling locally is really huge. so tomorrow we've the latest uk inflation number. probably inflation will come down below double digits is 10.1, down from 11.1% back in october. so we'll be getting that number will then also be getting the us federal reserve, the mighty american investment bank , the biggest and most bank, the biggest and most important in the world. we were expecting up until very recently the us to continue raising interest rates and then bank of england, which makes its decision on thursday. so the us wednesday , uk thursday the bank wednesday, uk thursday the bank of england makes this decision on thursday would likely follow the us. i'm suggesting that the us. but i'm suggesting that i think the federal reserve and the bank of england, because of all these school plays on financial markets , of all the financial markets, of all the jitters, the scare is about banks going . and we've seen, of

banks going. and we've seen, of course, silicon valley bank go bust. we just saw a massive, systemically important credit suisse be bought by swiss rival rival ubs. that bank. now, by the way , the balance sheet is the way, the balance sheet is bigger than . the whole of the bigger than. the whole of the swiss is fundamental , isn't it? swiss is fundamental, isn't it? absolutely. and ridiculous in my view . but because of all these view. but because of all these jitters , i do think the jitters, i do think the policymakers at both the and the bank of england will hold rates for now . but you know, this for now. but you know, this these all economic times, it's difficult because we were seeing light at the end of the tunnel we just have that budget growth forecasts were better and it seems now with all banking schools we could be in for some more turbulence . oh, gosh. all more turbulence. oh, gosh. all right. well, i know you're going to keep us back up to date for that, liam. thank you very, very again, our economics business, alice. plans to alice. right. okay so plans to house asylum seekers raaf scampton have been met with fury and disappointment in the community. so the airfield was

hq of the famous world war two dambusters squadron. but the home office wants to use the signs as an asylum centre to reduce the cost using hotels. tensions rose. locals clashed last night when a special meeting was held to discuss the. they told the asylum could they were told the asylum could even be housed in cabins on the historic runway and makeshift shipping containers actually . shipping containers actually. joining me now is scampton councillor , roger patterson. councillor, roger patterson. roger thank you very much for joining us. so what is the latest that is there still massive public anger? what are happening by patrick? yeah disbelief and anger and devastation really at the proposed laws cause one minute we had to deal that this was one of the biggest we've ever had in lincolnshire. with about a thousand jobs, the tories are heritage protected museums. the red arrows continue to fly over scampton and next minute it's been stolen away from us. are these proposals potentially

stolen from us bodies, homes or so ? there's anger and disbelief so? there's anger and disbelief at what government is doing. well it seems to be twofold. firstly it's a very, very historic site . one of massive historic site. one of massive cultural importance to great britain. and the idea that it would be used for anything other i think is offensive people actually offensive to people . actually offensive to people. the other side of it, of course, is whether not the area should taking in these asylum seekers. let's with the first one first the historical side of this why in your view should a size of this historical importance not be used to house asylum seekers 7 be used to house asylum seekers ? it's well, we've just got much history that the airfield dates back to 1915. and apart from the dambusters i'd going gibson and all the stuff that with it the vulcan bomber that bomb blast stanley during the falcons war actually flew from our air scum

so we've had plenty of other operations to write vows. we've had troops that have gone to afghanistan and iraq is some the history of the base is just absolutely phenomenal and we are very keen and we deserve it and we want to tell the story for future generations to enjoy . future generations to enjoy. yeah. and i understand there are plans to invest were plans invest in this deal for our afghanistan as well to maybe do it up a little bit and help deal with you know a variety of issues there and turn it into more of a tourist attraction that could as well bring it some economic benefit to local area. that's in massive that's obviously in massive doubt now, isn't it? a result of this. but just in terms the residents themselves in the area , how do they feel about the idea of having potentially around 1500 people from goodness knows where just dropped into their area i don't think is actually so much to do with who they are it's what they

represent and what their represent and what their represent is . it could be boy represent is. it could be boy scouts. it doesn't man who is it's the fact the site is unsuitable to house anybody. i've number the site's derelict has no water and sewage connections where are they going to place these people and you can't have people living in squalor but it's what it represents the fact that if we get anybody the man who is on that , then we are destined to that, then we are destined to live in the pocket of the council years and years as this happened to other bases locally nearby where the government just pulled the plug on them and left and destitute and the councils had to bail them out. sanctions different. we've got this road million pound regeneration deal. it's probably the biggest overhaul we've done any air base or , any export space in the or, any export space in the country and the government to all those people you know . the all those people you know. the fact is the fact is it would be

so easy for the government to not this so easy for the government to do this. they can say this site isn't fit purpose to actually house all of these people the plot of land people whilst the plot of land be big enough. actual site be big enough. the actual site itself is not. they could say, you know what, we're not going to because it will cost to do it because it will cost local people the it will be damaging the local community. damaging to the local community. just the instance just in the first instance in order do that. but order to have to do that. but also the as well. because also in the run as well. because as you rightly, a lot of these people are end being people are to end up being reliant for state very, reliant on the for state very, very long period of time. so there is that side of things as well. there is. as you've just said, historical said, the massive historical significance site and significance of this site and inherently site. and inherently british site. and i think encapsulates think nothing encapsulates the total of our border total capitulation of our border policy at the minute. the lobby a 1500 people from goodness knows where and so portacabin on a runway same where you know a runway the same where you know the dambusters mission took off. and you mentioned there about the falkland islands and port stanley so easy stanley as it would be so easy for the government to not do this, just move on and do it somewhere else. oh they're

listening to you . i hope so . somewhere else. oh they're listening to you . i hope so. i listening to you. i hope so. i know our police and commission is meeting the home secretary and i've given them a brief of what we're fighting for, and he's well aware of it. come the meeting last night when i was mps lobbying the council's lobbying all the time , however, lobbying all the time, however, it's fallen on deaf ears or i don't know, all have to do is come up. i'm happy. meet anybody for the home office or the charity they can come up, they can have a look at the free spaces where they totally wrecked people's lives. and then i'll take them to scampton and they can have a look around them and they can see that can and they can see that they can make this time make a difference this time and they things they can change things and protect . if we didn't have this protect. if we didn't have this heritage, if we had the accommodation that was in for purpose, i couldn't be sorry. now arguing about whether they should come or not. but the point is they can't come because the site practically derelict and you can't help people in squalor. isn't it amazing you've

got a former all raf base here and we've got thousands of homeless military veterans and we haven't got the money in the funds to do base up to put military veterans on it. but we can get shipping containers and potentially line the runways with it and spend millions of pounds potentially of taxpayers money and completely just desert a patch of british history so that we can house it. it makes me very, very angry indeed. but thank you very much. really appreciate your time. thank you for talking to us about this. as councillor roger patterson is conservative scotland and conservative for scotland and vice chair as west vice chair as well as west lindsey district council. what do you make it out, ladies and gentlemen? doubt whatsoever gentlemen? no doubt whatsoever it's going to get you going as indeed has gb views, of indeed it has gb views, of gbnews.uk people really, really angry about all this, saying angry about all of this, saying not just costing us money, it's driving a coach and horses through our history and our culture. and that's from stories. these views that. what are your gb views at gbnews.uk

you up to date with that case now moving on and moving abroad, actually, because hundreds of people, have been people, france, have been arrested as of protests arrested as number of protests broke following . president broke out following. president emmanuel macron's government narrowly surviving a no motion yesterday over the deeply unpopular pension reforms. so in some of central paris's most prestigious venues , prestigious venues, firefighters, riot police scrambled to put out blazes and control these furious protest outside vision views. be able to see this now it does seriously look like an absolute war zone, a large number of them. well, from younger generations as well. well, young well. and well, young professionals taking to the professionals are taking to the streets is because streets essentially is because money will macron wants to raise the age pension from 62 to 64. well, someone who's been on the ground, it's political and journalist is jim bianco. jim, thank you very, very much. great have you on the show. what is going it looks like an going on? it looks like an absolute zone in france no . absolute war zone in france no. those images are quite and as a matter of fact there is there is a strike of people supposed to

collect the garbage so there is a lot of garbage all over because of the protest movements and those students and youngsters are putting fire on it. so it's it makes it produce extremely spectacular ah images and it impressed everybody including us now because we're talking about it but is nothing to do with for the moment we have to be extremely cautious it has nothing to do for the moment with a very let's say with an roc, with an uprising or a global uprising of country. those, those movements are quite small the moment and the country is under shock because the decision of mr. macron to maintain his reform . and many, maintain his reform. and many, many polls say the same things between 80, up to 90% of the population is against this reform. and it's quite odd to govern in the name of the people against the people. but macron

is convinced that his reform is good and is the he has a very, very small proportion of the of the chamber that is that is in favour of this of this reform. so he is going to speak to the nafion so he is going to speak to the nation tomorrow . but midday and nation tomorrow. but midday and we'll see if that would spread a an anger and change the climate. but for the moment it is true that some students are putting on fire those garbage but it's not a revolution it's not a revolution just yet . also look revolution just yet. also look thank you very much. the is up today a lot to go no we'll talk again next week especially if there is indeed a revolution again because that is a political commentator and journalist. yeah french police have batons, tear gas, water have you batons, tear gas, water cannons to clear demonstrators from the police from the place in central paris there. and basically emmanuel macron wants to raise the retirement age. his right self so that we are coming more johnson on more on boris johnson on

ofsted to pause their inspections of schools this week after a head teacher committed suicide. ruth perry was the head at caversham primary school redding in berkshire. she killed herself, while awaiting the ofsted review, which gave the school the lowest rating. the inspection had found the school to be good every category apart from leadership management where it was judged to be inadequate. ruth sister says her death was a direct result of the report . and direct result of the report. and finally, russia has strengthened ties with china . it's prepared ties with china. it's prepared to step up its oil deliveries to the country . president putin the country. president putin made the comments the second day of the chinese leaders visit to moscow, describing talks with president xi as constructive, adding he they remained in constant . yesterday putin constant. yesterday putin welcomed his so—called dear friend the kremlin and the pair discussed china's peace plan for ukraine. that's all the news me

for now. i'm back at half past. let's get you back to . let's get you back to. patrick loads to get through this final houn loads to get through this final hour. we start with boris because boris johnson seems is fighting for not just his reputation but also his political future . the former pm political future. the former pm who gave the conservative party a landslide victory we shouldn't forget. that's in last election faces a huge moment tomorrow when he faces against a committee of mps and will make a judgement on whether pm boris intentions . judgement on whether pm boris intentions. he misled parliament over allegations of downing street parties during lockdown . street parties during lockdown. well today boris defence to that committee has been public and in this 50 page dossier he admits misleading parliament. so he admits that. but he does want to make it very clear that he never dreamed of doing so intentionally. so he is not

question of intent. joining me now is gb news is political reporter. olivia. olivia. the more i talk about this, the more convinced i am that boris is going to be absolutely fine. totally how on earth can someone prove in intentionally trying to mislead parliament? that evidence would have already got out. that wouldn't say boris johnson just move . on well, johnson, just move. on well, yes, this is very interesting . yes, this is very interesting. thatis yes, this is very interesting. that is essentially boris johnson's argument in his defence today. he that it's impossible to prove that he misled deliberately . now he misled deliberately. now he gives a load of evidence of whatsapp and other correspondence between and his advisers in his advisers seem to him seem to tell him that is possible for him to stand up in front of house of commons and say that he didn't know he was misleading them. so that's his defence. and he says that what the committee is trying to do is up a case that it should have

been obvious to him that he was that he was breaking lockdown rules. he says that it is not possible to say that. it would have been obvious to him first that there were multiple at these gatherings if it wasn't obvious to them, then why should it have been to him? and secondly he points to the fact that there was an official ten photographer at some of events, and how some of these and that's how some of these pictures got splashed over the front of the newspaper. well he argues, why would he invite an official along to official photographer along to an he to be an event which he knew to be contravening of the rules ? so contravening of the rules? so his argument is that it was an act. he thought that he was within the rules. his advisers told him he was within the rules. so when he stood up and told parliament that he was acting within the rules. he was only doing, he thought was right. he acted in good faith. now, the other part of his defence rests on, as you say, is it possible to prove he intentionally misled? well committee actually strayed committee has actually strayed a little bit from trying to prove that at all. it started out

trying to prove that he intentionally misled. they're now talking about whether he recklessly . well, that's recklessly. well, that's a lowering of the ball. and boris johnson objects to that. he suggests that the committee is biased and that's why it's trying to sort of shift the goalpost and change what it's trying prove. now i think we can expect fireworks tomorrow because . relationships between because. relationships between bofis because. relationships between boris johnson and the committee are pretty bad . boris johnson are pretty bad. boris johnson has them of fishing on his evidence for 24 hours. he submitted dossier yesterday. it wasn't published noon today. they say that why they sanction it was because it was riddled with typos and errors and they had to correct of those before it was published. so you can see the sense of how bad this relationship has got. but yeah, i we can prepare for fireworks. prepare for fireworks. absolutely utterly. and keep yourselves locked into this very people where we will be bringing up life the whole hearing. look, olivia, thank you very much olivia, thank you very much olivia utley gb news this

political reporter. been political reporter. i've been asking throughout the show. bofis do asking throughout the show. boris do you think he's boris johnson. do you think he's a hero a villain? should the a hero or a villain? should the tories what? tories do. what? labour struggled to which is they struggled to do, which is they suffered from long for a while. didn't the labour party they stuck jeremy stuck around with jeremy corbyn for while? should the tories for a while? should the tories look for a clean break from bofis look for a clean break from boris before him move on? it's fair. inbox is full fair. say the inbox is full of bofis fair. say the inbox is full of boris backers. linda boris boris backers. linda says boris is is a witch hunt. is a hero, is a witch hunt. betsy says it's very clear that what boris is facing is witch what boris is facing is a witch hunt, that hunt words hunt, that witch hunt words witch up and witch hunt. coming up time and time again, he was elected as the people's pm and richard says he's neither a hero or a villain, but he's the best politician that we have. i mean, there's lot of i could on there's a lot of this i could on i fill a show. the amount i could fill a show. the amount of people who are coming out and saying that boris johnson is right will vindicated and right will be vindicated and honestly, would honestly, potentially would all vote although vote for him again, although that i gave you. that isn't an option i gave you. but time. people give it but give it time. people give it time. a gb news don't time. gb views a gb news don't uk but we're moving on now is the other massive story of the day the home secretary is the other massive story of the day of the home secretary is the other massive story of the day of governmentsecretary is the other massive story of the day of government hasetary is the other massive story of the day of government has called; the other massive story of the day of government has called the one of government has called the majority officers majority of police officers

honest decent and brave professionals called for professionals but has called for change. of course change. he comes of course following this report into the met, which found institutional misogyny , homophobia and sexism misogyny, homophobia and sexism are rife within the force. so was commissioned following the abduction and murder of sarah everard by serving officer wayne and details stories of cover and it details stories of cover ups, sexual assault and 12% of women in the met say that they have themselves harassed or attacked at work, which is an incredibly number, isn't it? the independent author, baroness casey , says the force needs casey, says the force needs a complete overhaul . it's led to a complete overhaul. it's led to a load of different arguments to the usual defund the police. they're out in force. i'm yet to be told what that means really defunding the police. what? what that mean this. we don't really have a police force, do we? it's just policing . not just community policing. not quite that works at, quite sure how that works at, all for it to be disbanded. so there should more regional forces maybe sense in that there's also a for it. do there's also a tool for it. do frankly more educational courses . officers say it . police officers people say it needs quote unquote needs to actually quote unquote woke order to survive. so a

woke in order to survive. so a variety of different angles for us to here to break review down further i am joined by hampshire police and crime commissioner donna and i'm joined donna jones and i'm also joined live in the studio by former scotland superintend and scotland yard superintend and it's straight my top thank it's not straight my top thank you both of you, donna you very much both of you, donna will you. what does will start with you. what does the police force the police and the police force need to in order to does it need to go woke ? it definitely to go woke? it definitely doesn't need to woke up. we need strong effective leadership. and ihave strong effective leadership. and i have said this before , gb news i have said this before, gb news and i'll say it again. i have said this before, gb news and i'll say it again . i hold and i'll say it again. i hold more smoke . raleigh in the more smoke. raleigh in the highest esteem as i did with cressida dick . and i think cressida dick. and i think cressida dick. and i think cressida dick. and i think cressida dick was absolutely thrown under the bus previously by city for his failings of the governance of the met. but what we do need is strong, effective leadership but it has to happen quickly and this is why i've been on tv news many times the sentencing of wayne cousins post the sentencing of david carrick saying that i think the met is too big. i met with the met

state . i've spoken to people at state. i've spoken to people at new scotland . i've been a new scotland. i've been a commentary on this now for well over 18 months about the failings in the met the focus betting is a misnomer betting is only a snapshot in time of the day that you enter policing, the day that you enter policing, the day that you enter policing, the day that you're vetted. but the teams need to be significant cantley invested in. i feel sorry the people that work in those teams we have to do this speak really been a devastating for national policing again and if we have another report like this i'm not sure the met will ever be able to get over it. okay i'll just continue. same question to you . do you think question to you. do you think that the police needs to that the police force needs to go woke or in order to survive in a modern world i like that word anyway, because i think it's because it's quite dangerous because it's quite dangerous because it's negative to anything that's progressive . so for me what progressive. so for me what needs to happen is that they needs to happen is that they need to look at the recommendations that have been made in casey report and not do a mix but actually take it move forward because quite honestly

everybody's enough this including the officers within the organisation who demoralised because they see against police bashing . but what they also need bashing. but what they also need to understand is the coming from the itself . but in to understand is the coming from the itself. but in this case he's been there a she's looked at data, she's analysed that data more forensically than the met has themselves . i don't met has themselves. i don't know. what would you say to people who are up in arms now saying well this is a defund the police. well you if you defund the police you basically lawless britain. i stand where people are coming it's the most ridiculous idea we are trying to improve the met to make victims women men people ethnic minority groups safer on the streets of london defunding the police would put them their lives more risk and put them at greater harm than we've ever known before. it's a preposterous idea. it's completely unintelligent . i think it's unintelligent. i think it's i think it's ridiculous. there were people, campaign groups who were people, campaign groups who

were out on the steps of new scotland yard earlier on today saying morale comes out admits that he is presiding over an institutionally homophobic message his force then they don't think the man can continue doesn't want to wear that he doesn't want to wear that he doesn't want to wear that he doesn't want to wear badge of it. being institutional . what do it. being institutional. what do you make of that? but people are saying he can't move on unless he that that has been given he does that that has been given to the met police previously, 99 to the met police previously, 99 to 9, and now it's raised its head again. and in this he's given that review is institutionally racist because . institutionally racist because. the data the evidence from not only the communities police officers themselves the systems and processes are broken and actually what technology that mean. well we'll just just to just on that i'm going to get you to respond to that now. but, you to respond to that now. but, you know, if you're saying it is and the report is saying it is okay and, the is at the top okay and, the guy is at the top of it is saying it isn't, then how can he stay in post and

reform if he can't that it i think he has to accept that label how accept the recommendations how listicles and move on so if he doesn't accept that label then i would ask him to put a definition on what he thinks it is . what is what he thinks it is. what is buying this case? he's saying institutional racism is the macpherson definition . processes macpherson definition. processes and systems are broken and they're not serving a purpose it's not saying that every police officer is racist because that's wrong. that's that's we know that's wrong. so it's about saying, okay, we've to move forward. we've got to take it forward. we've got to take it forward. how can he then implement part of the recommendations and not accept what's going on because the communities will lose trust and confidence and i think by saying that he's lost parts of the community that he's trying to win and do you know and to move forward , we've got to move forward, we've got to move forward, we've got to move forward . nothing other than forward. nothing other than except those recommendations

start to make the change not only the communities but also the police that are serving those communities. so i want to get your views on something. keir starmer stood up and basically said, if you are a member of another force, you need to wake up and realise this isn't just about the and also as well the problem is quite keen to question what's that? he can't. the mayor of london have been doing throughout of been doing throughout all of it. you course police crime you of course police and crime commissioner hampshire. it's commissioner for hampshire. it's not i mean do not like that. i mean how, do you respond to first and foremost accusation that foremost the accusation that probably is probably all this stuff is happening? are right? first happening? why are right? first of all, i do. i do agree and i acknowledge that there are bad in police force. this is in every police force. this is not a cartel owned by the metropolitan police service. only the met is just five times bigger than the average police force in the uk and that's why the problem is accentuated in the problem is accentuated in the also because it's so big people have been able to hide in clothes well not in places been able to hide in their police uniforms carrying, burned cars, acting atrocious way, acting in an atrocious way, urinating recruits , part urinating on new recruits, part of initiation, you know , doing

of initiation, you know, doing all the sorts of bad things that we've case you we've heard from case you report. is shocking, but i report. it is shocking, but i should things happen in should say things happen in other police forces. i'm going to include in my own force in hampshire, the isle of wight. hampshire, in the isle of wight. we are the largest force we are the fifth largest force in country outside of in the country outside of the met. so we have our own complexities, the differences is this. somebody like cousins this. if somebody like cousins or carrick labelled the or david carrick labelled the rapist the murderer , whatever it rapist the murderer, whatever it is that nicknames are , if they is that nicknames are, if they had been accused of the very serious offences they in hampshire constabulary today. in 2023 or even in fact last year in 22, i am it's the police and crime commissioner that my chief constable would have ensured that they were suspended . no that they were suspended. no presumption of guilt but suspend it pending a full and thorough investigation. that is number. and as police and crime commissioner equivalent of sadiq khan he was technically police and crime commissioner for london . that as part my london. i see that as part my duty to ensure my chief has got one a fully resourced police

standards department and two anti corruption unit is able to work on react but importantly active investigations. now this is where pc sees chief across the country need to be doing some soul searching today. the country need to be doing some soul searching today . we've some soul searching today. we've all we've all known the case report was coming for ages anyway. we to do soul searching to make sure that we are financing and resourcing the experts in departments police standards departments and teach anti—corruption units. so coming back to kingston although i shook my head i could not believe his comments earlier because he was trying to deflect straight away from london in the wake . one of the most impactful wake. one of the most impactful police reports in the history of the met police on two other police forces around the country , because his mate sadiq khan , , because his mate sadiq khan, has presided over the met police and all of these failings for almost a decade , just almost a decade, just unbelievable . but we thank you unbelievable. but we thank you very, very much. we are going to have to leave you there, i'm afraid, because we've got another of breaking that another bit of breaking that we're going to to go to in

we're going to have to go to in a matter of. thank you very, very was, course, how very much. it was, course, how much and crime much police and crime commissioner tony jones and former scotland yard superintendent top. thank superintendent from a top. thank you much coming into you so much for coming into the studio. appreciate studio. really appreciate that. that's coming up. that's right. look. coming up. yeah. what alluding yeah. what i was alluding to a moment counter—terror moment ago that counter—terror police joined the police have joined the investigation into man allegedly set walking set alight while walking home from birmingham. is from a mosque birmingham. it is shocking on this on shocking the detail on this on patrick this is

i was wondering, well, what on earth needs to happen? because people who go or defund police, break it up, break the matter up into a variety of different groups, with things groups, deal with more things regionally and locally and that's easy to control and monitor. course, people monitor. of course, some people were well that it's were saying as well that it's got to go woke doesn't say they've got to start embracing various different schemes designed nice and designed around being nice and loving to up loving and trying to build up buffers stop from buffers to stop people from actually behaving in horrifically hydrophobic , etc. horrifically hydrophobic, etc. way. carol has been to on no. the police has already gone to work. carol, i get what you mean because. carol does allude in this oh, this email to things like, oh, pride events the rainbow pride events and the rainbow flags and everything, and i understand that, but when understand all of that, but when you it now, you're you look at it now, you're confronted by a report that says, well, hang a minute says, well, hang on a minute it's institutionally homophobic, racist, then racist, misogynist. well, then actually, think is actually, i don't think it is necessarily woke to. go and try and stop those things. it is the decent. nice thing to do. i've also had jeffrey on jeffrey's on about story now which has been massive this just a little massive and this just a little heads what we're going heads up about what we're going to of tomorrow. boris to get lot of tomorrow. boris johnson sitting before a

committee giving his side of giving evidence, being questioned about his policy gate defence. so his defence is, yes, i did mislead employees , but i i did mislead employees, but i did not do that knowingly and did not do that knowingly and did not do that knowingly and did not do that deliberately, i.e. i got bad advice. gov och do you buy that? do you know i was asking or not? you think that boris johnson is a hero for you or a villain? and whether not it might be in the conservative party's interest, it's hard to move him to side a little bit like labour did with covid. yes, going to covid. but yes, we're going to see paul has been on see now paul. paul has been on and paul says, patrick, boris johnson is a hero of mine. and the conservative not the conservative party will not be forward if be electable going forward if they rid of a dream ticket they get rid of a dream ticket of him rishi. you get of him and rishi. that's you get yours gives gb news yours coming in gives gb news dot uk you for all your emails. i'm going to go to big story now though and that is big for though and that is a big for news counter—terror news this counter—terror officers the officers are supporting the investigation man investigation into a man allegedly alight while allegedly being set alight while walking home from a mosque edge bastion in birmingham . one bastion in birmingham. one person has been arrested on suspicion of murder

suspicion of attempted murder and police , the victim and the police, the victim remains in a stable condition after the terrible incident. let's the latest from gb news is west reporterjack let's the latest from gb news is west reporter jack carson. jack, what is the latest? that place ? what is the latest? that place? well, we know course that that man seen from video footage has been released that the police are also at seems to be an older man which was walking back on this road shenzen road here in boston in birmingham from the from the mosque on dudley road, which is less than half a mile from here when somebody who looks to be younger walks up to him starts having a conversation with him from video footage he looks like, starts pointing to him they walk a bit him before they walk a bit further . the him before they walk a bit further. the road him before they walk a bit further . the road where further. the road here where they to the junction with they get to the junction with brixton road here and where the man sprays , something over him man sprays, something over him and then sets him alight . we and then sets him alight. we know that the man was taken to hospital last night after paramedics arrived here on scene and has suffered from burns and police say serious injuries but thankfully not life threatening . but the latest we've got is

that this is now being to counter—terrorism police in the west midlands been involved now in this invested action, which means police have also linked up with the metropolitan police, of course in february, on february 27th, a similar attack took place on singapore road and london when an 82 year old man was satellites are leaving the west london islamic centre. and so the west midlands police, metropolitan police are working together to see whether those two incidents are linked . you two incidents are linked. you mentioned there while a couple of hours ago a man arrested here on, here on the road by police were going door to door to enquiries about the incident. he's been charged . he's been he's been charged. he's been arrested suspicion , i should arrested on suspicion, i should say, with attempted murder we don't really know much about the motive for this incident, whether they knew each other . whether they knew each other. this was a relative . we know this was a relative. we know very little on that part other than the fact that this man has been arrested after, of course , been arrested after, of course, the incident here last night .

the incident here last night. yes. jack, thank you very very much for bringing us the latest on that story. john constantine, he's west midlands reporter and yeah, shocking . we will bring yeah, shocking. we will bring you any updates as when we get it, counter—terrorism police, of course, involved that case course, are involved that case now. and as we said , we'll have now. and as we said, we'll have to you more as . we do get to bring you more as. we do get it. moving on from that it. look, moving on from that damage caused paul has forced damage caused by paul has forced almost 2.7 million cars off the road the past year alone. so nearest by the asphalt industry alliance, the air to their friends says one pothole is currently on all roads every 22 seconds. can i just just politely say that i think that's rubbish every 22 seconds in the uk in the time it's taken me to just say this now pothole fill that out it i don't buy it but local authority highways teams in england and wales only receive two thirds of what they need to prevent further last yeah need to prevent further last year. so the alliance says that almost billion pounds is now

needed to fix the backlog of carriageway repairs. so our government has apparently got to find 14 billion quid to make roads driveable. one local area as well is saying that it's going to take and this is south gloucestershire, 700 years at the current rate to fill in the amount of potholes that they've got which anyway. joining me now is a man who has come to be known as mr. paul due to his campaign needs get the holes in our roads phil great. see you again my good man. i need last time we spoke, it wouldn't be long before you resurfaced. and here we go. i mean, presumably you, pothole are not you, as mr. pothole are not shocked to learn that places like south gloucestershire have enough potholes to last 700 years. no surprised. and i did tell you last week the government announced in the budget the budget £200 million was not paying in the say when i knew there was a massive increase. and we're at now £14 billion. it's got worse by £1.3 billion. it's got worse by £1.3 billion in 12 months. i mean , billion in 12 months. i mean, repairing potholes is a waste of

money and time. we need resurface our roads they passed sell by date it's quite easy but the general public view of me to see that the government seem to ignore the fact that you need to invest in the asset . and this is invest in the asset. and this is an audit showing i produced graph that showed back in year 2000 , this £14 billion was £3.75 2000, this £14 billion was £3.75 billion. and if the government went ahead with the ten year plan it was proposed, one of the ministers, we won't be in this situation the first place people think that it might not be a massive vote winner but i reckon if a political party came out and said i can guarantee you that i will fill every single pothole in this area. the first year of being in office, year of me being in office, i would win in area because would win in that area because so motorists, millions of so many motorists, millions of motorists, cars written motorists, their cars written off all off completely, a result of all off completely, a result of all of this stuff. i mean apparently one in five roads in this country is going to be undriveable about the next ten or 15 years. again, it's just bonkers it. yeah i mean, the

lack of investment i was filming this morning and where the surface approached it , this morning and where the surface approached it, eroding the ice coast, which the structure of the road once you start destroying that it becomes a massive , massive job. i got a massive, massive job. i got a road resurfaced properly in with a local newspaper a few years ago and it was under £1,000 of job is expensive material it was expensive and road works aren't cheap and is just the carriageway the bit in the curves if you look at there's a £6 billion backlog in bridge that bridge might if you were in british structures maintenance drainage i believe we're probably sitting near £30 billion from my source as anyone ever approached you. just quickly, mr. pothole to be like the character of some kind of children superhero comic book where every time a pothole emerges somewhere , a light goes emerges somewhere, a light goes up in the sky. mr. pothole comes

and fills up. has anyone ever floated? i think there's to money made that . no, no. i like money made that. no, no. i like the idea but interesting i was doing it to perform a film in the slow lane and we've 83 hours of film in the council. we turn up in a temporary repair and they're going to do superman proposed. so i did an excuse of social media and twitter. i'm fantastic stuff i think they say no heroes wear capes but i think you are you are proof that mr. oh look thank you very much for joining us for enlightening us i couldn't believe it either the people of south gloucestershire should be up in arms. the idea thatis should be up in arms. the idea that is going to take around 700 odd years allegedly up odd years allegedly to fill up the sheer volume of potholes that they have. thank you very much. have update much. coming we have an update from the of the man from the trial of the man accused the murder of olivia accused of the murder of olivia culpo. massive she's culpo. massive cases. she's a nine who was shot in nine year old who was shot in her home in liverpool. we'll her own home in liverpool. we'll bnng her own home in liverpool. we'll bring the very on all bring you the very latest on all of that . patrick christys and of that. patrick christys and this gb news

that case that frankly did gnpped that case that frankly did gripped the nation didn't see right now you a bit sick and right now are you a bit sick and tired of climate alarmism. scientists are warning get this that we must act now to tackle change. a new report says rise in greenhouse gas emissions are pushing world to the brink of a of all irreversible and only swift and drastic action can avert such destruction. but how times have we been issued with these sorts of final how many final warnings have we had? is this really our last chance to save the world? i've got few of these final warnings here in front of me right. this one from 1990. oh we've only got five years left as global disaster nafions years left as global disaster nations wiped off the face. the earth. crop failures and. environmental catastrophe. 1992. we're on an environmental catastrophe. irreversible as only holocaust. 1972, we have ten years to stop this catastrophe. so why should we now? joining me now is dawn neesom , who is a climate

neesom, who is a climate columnist on independent. thank you very much . people like me, i you very much. people like me, i think , be forgiven for thinking think, be forgiven for thinking it is all i think people like you need to be forgiven for your approach to the subject. looking at what's happening, unfolding across the planet right now, what you fail to understand in those warnings is that we didn't listen to them and predictions are happening . the today's news are happening. the today's news was that 43,000 people have died but that disastrous drought unfolding in which was predicted scientists, 23,000 of them are children . they were predicting children. they were predicting the horrific floods in pakistan. they are happening . they have they are happening. they have happened. they were we would start hitting 40 degrees centigrade in the uk in decades time and we are already having it last summer. so the indications that they were saying then were , well, climate saying then were, well, climate models , like i'd say , spirit of models, like i'd say, spirit of what you say don't occur, but they're literally not correct because we would all be dead now if they were some of them. but i

do take your point also, as well, about 20 years it never predicted that everybody would be 2023. you're. if be dead in 2023. you're. if you're you're it's like we would write what was a series of warning . yeah. so what happened warning. yeah. so what happened to massive ice age? we were going to get . come patrick going to get. come patrick trotting out that meme from the 1960s is irresponsible . you as 1960s is irresponsible. you as a broadcaster have a responsibility to look at the science and warn the people for failure failing and all of the rest just getting to know what is really really challenging for your conscience what you're doing. it needs look at your conscience, look at the signs . conscience, look at the signs. then ask, what are you doing that's responsible for the people of britain. because what this is raising doubts this is doing is raising doubts in people's mind about what actually to take. that's actually need to take. that's really tough. let's talk really tough. well, let's talk about talk about action, then. let's talk about action, then. let's talk about so what action about the action. so what action do because lot of do you want because a lot of people now are thinking, well, hang on a minute, do we to hang on a minute, do we have to bankrupt completely bankrupt ourselves completely to hit net target that if

hit a net zero target that if the chinese and the indians aren't going that aren't going to do that pointless what action pointless anyway? so what action should we take? just. just bankrupt ourselves . again, the bankrupt ourselves. again, the framing of the question is irresponsible. you do not have to bankrupt yourself to make yourself have a green lifestyle. i actually not bankrupt. my home is net carbon . i will make a is net carbon. i will make a profit from my energy this year. i sell more electricity at the rate than i buy and that's i want for every house in britain. insulate our homes so people of comfort provide green energy so they're not actually dependent oil companies and have a flight free holidays. it is not rocket science. what we need what what we need are flights reduce amount of petrol same flight free holidays right so we're we're already never leaving our country or we have to take a ship that don't. yeah, there is such a thing as a train and it has been for about 30 years you're telling time that you can go to any country in europe,

america, then you patrick are you actually equating this type of question about flippant rich question answer about one. people are actually i'm just one solution is what i'm doing because we're asking a flip and question and i think it's really a serious part. well, i'll tell you what, maybe could be forgiven for being slightly flippant it because i'm a flippant about it because i'm a bit sick and tired being bit sick and tired of being given because bit sick and tired of being givefinal because bit sick and tired of being givefinal in because bit sick and tired of being givefinal in the because bit sick and tired of being givefinal in the seventies.jse bit sick and tired of being givefinal in the seventies. in it's final in the seventies. in the sixties, it was an ice age, of course, then. now all going to death. and then i'm to burn to death. and then i'm a flippant it potentially, flippant about it potentially, because a sick and because i am a bit sick and tired alarm i'm as if you're tired of alarm i'm as if you're flipped and you're using the term alarmism because. that's flipped and you're using the term the 'mism because. that's flipped and you're using the term the media 3ecause. that's flipped and you're using the term the media says|se. that's flipped and you're using the term the media says we that's flipped and you're using the term the media says we should be what the media says we should be talking about . what you haven't talking about. what you haven't looked at is those warnings , but looked at is those warnings, but by 2023, we be looking at 1.1 degree rise in temperature. that is what we're facing. they warns that by 2023 we want mass of disastrous in countries like pakistan. those are unfolding. how many more do you want to fall to and understand that those warnings right so those

some of the warnings and ray others will ignore the ones that were will focus only on the ones that will. right and the warnings are you let me name me a climate scientist from the 19805 a climate scientist from the 1980s that said that everybody would be in they didn't would be dead in 23. they didn't say they said would have say that they said we would have gone degrees. and once gone above 1.1 degrees. and once you degrees, can you go above degrees, you can start reversing easily. and so, for example , today's science for example, today's science said the reading i'm reading the reading at the time was george today's climate change world destroyers in less than 20 years time and so we're nearly there actually it was 2004 so and we are actually in a situation where millions of people are still and they are being flooded and they are in countries where wildfires becoming endemic that is a terrible thing to be inflicting. our kids. patrick, why why be about it when actually what we can do is we can invest in renewable energy, we can invest in insulation, can have a successful economy and, we can reduce our carbon emissions to nothing . good

emissions to nothing. good stuff, doug. thank you very much. tanya mccarthy, that climate columnist at the independent . right back to our independent. right back to our top now . boris johnson has top story now. boris johnson has accepted misled accepted that he misled employees insisted his employees but insisted his partygate denials were made in good based what he good faith, based what he honestly knew at time . so honestly knew at the time. so the prime minister is the the former prime minister is the face of employees face committee of employees tomorrow on he tomorrow on whether he intentionally misled parliament alleged lockdown breaches. at number defence has we made number 10 is defence has we made today a 50 page document in which he denies misleading mps ? which he denies misleading mps? well, as i'm sure you are aware, gb news is the people's channel and the show nothing without you not at so joining now are not at home. so joining now are gb news viewers on mcnealy, grimsby and susan harris from carmarthenshire good stuff. both ladies first as ever, susan , i ladies first as ever, susan, i will go to you. i will to you, sir. borisjohnson's will go to you. i will to you, sir. boris johnson's defence appears to be i did mislead people , but not intentionally. people, but not intentionally. do you buy it ? you think he's a do you buy it? you think he's a hero or a villain? well as you say? he said to use parliament and did in good faith. well,

that's going to be very difficult to. and unless harry harman is going to go to area 50 won't come back with a couple of auens won't come back with a couple of aliens with probes his fingers, mind probes , i want to go into mind probes, i want to go into true vanity friends. that's what he said . we all know it's a he said. we all know it's a witch hunt. so we all know it started a long time ago. he was undemocratically removed from parliament. now they're going down near the road trying to find him lying misleading parliament. so then i can suspended from parliament and under the 2015 recall mp act then they will be a by—election as long 10% of the eligible voters sign a petition to go ahead with the by—election he's got a majority of just 5000. so suppose in their minds which i called vipers nests, they're hoping that majority of the 5000

will change their minds and you'll voted out of this place . you'll voted out of this place. all right, i'll. i'll. i'll throw it over to you. now, do you think that it might be a good thing for the tories ? a good thing for the tories? a little bit like labour did with corbyn, just to just cut him or not? i think . i think that the not? i think. i think that the tory party and all those people , the mainstream media who went after boris from day one, did not make this country an absolute lie . i don't create the absolute lie. i don't create the world. we have a sitting prime minister a 90 seat majority . he minister a 90 seat majority. he was deposed over a piece of cake.i was deposed over a piece of cake. i mean, it's a natural nonsense. it was a farce . and nonsense. it was a farce. and this committee that they've set up the privileges committee . up the privileges committee. well, it's already discovered that so high. and harman said last year he's definitely guilty their interim report said he's definitely guilty they seem to have lowered the bar so it's not just to deliberately miss living part of parliament, but being a

responsible are they going to define are they lawyers? these the whole thing's a complete joke of . okay. all right. and joke of. okay. all right. and susan , you think that boris susan, you think that boris johnson will ever be our prime again in future ? i think he'll again in future? i think he'll have a jolly good try. i think if they do suspend him and i go through by—election and he wins, well, then he'll be on the road to become prime and of again. my feelings on that , that he would feelings on that, that he would cause so much destruction and chaos in parliament. i don't think it would be a very good thing because boris would be doing that for he wouldn't be doing that for he wouldn't be doing it for the good of the country and the voters next. they wouldn't see that. and again they'd be out of him again. so it'd be a disaster well, i mean, look , boris well, i mean, look, boris johnson does have a perfectly good opportunity. i will keep

shamelessly plugging it live on this very show tomorrow where he's going to be at this committee. he's going to be getting grilled and going be getting grilled and going to be able to his to defence it. able to give his to defence it. and you know, alan, do you think a that cropping up in a word that keeps cropping up in my inbox time and time again it was a witch hunt. it was witch was a witch hunt. it was a witch hunt. it a witch what do you hunt. it was a witch what do you think it was a witch hunt against boris? alan well i think it witch hunt the it was a witch hunt from the very of clearly the people very start of clearly the people who disliked is bit like sort who disliked is a bit like sort of you either like my you really dislike , but there's clearly a dislike, but there's clearly a lot of people who seriously dislike , dislike dislike boris johnson, dislike brexit in particular so he was a key target for them to get rid of both within the conservative party and course very much of them on the labour who they knew that he was a vote winner. so there has a consistent trying discredit him everything that he does but you think about it i think that the first thing was the powers affair only to do that policies that if you at

party did he did do that the civil servants of the people who were advising him . they created were advising him. they created this whole mess so it's just been ongoing relentless sort of johnson's incompetent he may or not be like them. are he actually or may not be incompetent, but he shouldn't have been driven in way that he was overnight. i that's my thoughts and i thought well, i, i think both of you thank you very much as have some wonderful regulars here we've got alan mcneely from grimsby, susan harrison carmarthenshire great of both of you . appreciated what of both of you. appreciated what we'll find out tomorrow . bit we'll find out tomorrow. bit more, man, and we'll the more, my man, and we'll get the results then up next is dewbs& co michelle dewberry right here the with me now . the studio with me now. michelle, can i just say i don't have a lot to say this anymore. you always smell amazing. i? you always smell amazing. do i? no right. so i'll no sense smell. right. so i'll have to take your for it. have to take your word for it. i give myself a little spritz pits. well, actually, it doesn't matter . know it doesn't matter. matter. know it doesn't matter. they don't really know . no, i they don't really know. no, i always spray myself if workmen.

we've got some clearer skies lows, dropping to five or lows, only dropping to five or six degrees. a windy then of course scotland's winds course scotland's those winds cause some disruption blustery bringing plenty of showers in here. rain across the southeast is taking its time before it completely away from cairns and sussex and then again many places seeing sunny but there will be a few showers through on the winds and it will be a windy day, a blustery day, ten or 11 degrees across the north, but maybe in the sunshine in the afternoon, the midlands and eastern england, or 16 eastern england, 15 or 16 celsius, it will feel colder that because of the wind. and then we see another band of showery zipping across the showery rain zipping across the country this strong gusty country on this strong and gusty as through wednesday night as we go through wednesday night and thursday and then and into thursday and then thursday. likely to be a mixture of sunshine and showers with some heavy ones on the south coast and. we'll see further wet weather at times for northern southern scotland's sunny spells, say elsewhere between those downpours. but the showers will again be on the heavy side . but again, they'll zip through because the strength. the

because of the strength. the gusty winds still mild temperatures across the north double figures for the south getting that's for getting into the. that's all for me now . goodbye
