3:05 pm
still going to struggle to tackle behaviour. most importantly , police who classify importantly, police who classify it as low level lawyers for the publishers of the daily mail . publishers of the daily mail. privacy claims brought by high profile individuals, including prince harry are stale , should prince harry are stale, should be dismissed without a trial the duke of sussex, who's at the high court in london, is among a group including sir elton john, elizabeth hurley, who are launching legal action against associated newspapers for unlawful information gathering the group denies the allegations , which include hiring private to place listening devices in cars and homes and recording phone calls . the preliminary phone calls. the preliminary heanng phone calls. the preliminary hearing will last four days. new figures show police in england and wales carried out strip searches on children as young as eight. figures published by the children's commissioner for england show more than 2800 strip searches were reported between 2018 and 2022. the

3:08 pm
like the luckiest man in the world to be standing as the leader of snp, a party joined almost 20 years ago and i loved so dearly friends. fraser was leader john smith so dearly friends. fraser was leaderjohn smith and you were leader john smith and you were absolutely right when he said the opportunity to serve country is all we asked to my country as minister will be the greatest privilege and honour of my life. well, now we go get your emails coming in gbviews@gbnews.uk do you think this means for scotland? what does it mean for potentially the next general election? does it mean for scottish independence? but here a know he's going a man in the know and he's going to clear up some of those questions straight bat questions straight off the bat for you, it's michael symons who is a data journalist at the spectator. thank you spectator. michael, thank you very see you very much. great to see you again. start with the again. let's start with the result itself, and result itself, first and foremost, resounding foremost, it wasn't a resounding victory yousaf. in victory for humza yousaf. in fact, were familiar fact, people who were familiar with referendum will
3:09 pm
with the brexit referendum will recognise of the numbers involved there. 5240 8, basically won by yep. basically wasn't say won by yep. so i think people are not too surprised that humza won but people are surprised that it went through to the second round of voting. so in the first round as reagan that kind of no hoper candidate got just 5000 candidate got just over 5000 votes those votes were votes and those votes were redistributed and at that it looked close and humza looked really close and humza ended up winning as you say, 50 to 48. that number in british politics and we just seem to not be able to escape from what's really interesting is that about a of the snp members a third of the snp members didn't and given that it didn't vote and given that it was electro tonic and you do was all electro tonic and you do think it would so easy vote, think it would so easy to vote, why were many people why were so many people disillusioned voting ? well, disillusioned from voting? well, what does this mean now going forward future of the forward for the future of the snp because clearly that party itself now is incredibly divided . yeah. so the party is divided, but i think for the initial stage at least, it will just be the continuity. sturgeon party and his opponents , that's reagan and his opponents, that's reagan and his opponents, that's reagan and kate forbes have hinted that the coalition deal with the
3:10 pm
greens was going to if either of them won the hands, is going to keep that going. is going to continue the sort of sturgeon era policies. so i think on the face of it, it will be continuity. but in the background this election has unleashed factions within the party that aren't happy and they're quiet they're not going to stay quiet and disciplined have and disciplined like they have done for the last 15 years. and you're going be hearing discontented more. discontented voices more. big question now, what does it mean for independence ? so think is for independence? so i think is definitely on the burner. i mean, humza yousaf is not going to say that as first minister, but he made clear that he didn't really agree with sturgeon sort of . it's always round the corner of. it's always round the corner approach and i think he will actually, in fairness to him be actually, in fairness to him be a bit more with his a bit more honest with his supporters. that actually is something that they need to build think build build towards. i think here still to hear here you're still going to hear the talking about the snp talking about independence, think they independence, but i think they all know that it's not a realistic prospect, at least in the future. and just the short term future. and just one you. what does one more with you. what does this potentially looking this mean potentially looking ahead general ahead to the next general action. lot the reaction
3:11 pm
action. a lot of the reaction i'm appears to i'm seeing online appears to hint this is actually hint that this is actually a very good result for the labour party. yeah, i think the winner today is probably keir because a lot of the snp vote or all snp though is really that independence. but there is a chunk of their support who are labour voters who vote for the snp because of independence but also before it was going to be good governance on the yes it is not known for good governance so if things don't go to plan it's fair easy to those fair too easy to see those voters going back to labour and then seats in then picking up seats in scotland just on one. scotland just on that one. actually, had lost one, scotland just on that one. aclliilly, had lost one, scotland just on that one. actli lied had lost one, scotland just on that one. actli lied to had lost one, scotland just on that one. actli lied to give had lost one, scotland just on that one. actli lied to give med lost one, scotland just on that one. actli lied to give me alost one, scotland just on that one. actli lied to give me a bit: one, scotland just on that one. actli lied to give me a bit of1e, scotland just on that one. actli lied to give me a bit of a, but i lied to give me a bit of a rundown about humza yousaf, his track record. so what kind of guy with here? so guy are we dealing with here? so humza you serve as been unfortunate in all this ministerial posts and when he was the transport minister he was the transport minister he was caught by the police for driving friend's car with driving his friend's car with our was the justice our when he was the justice minister, he brought through the hate crime legislation which as he initially had planned , would he initially had planned, would regulate or criminalise and your
3:12 pm
dinner table conversation . and dinner table conversation. and then his most recent post being as health secretary and that to leaders of the scottish nhs that the service was about to fall oven the service was about to fall over. so he's been rather unfortunate , to put it politely unfortunate, to put it politely in, his time as government minister . okay. yeah, i in, his time as government minister. okay. yeah, i mean and just on that as well, the free speech angle of it and the gender issue, i mean, lot of people are saying that j.k. rowling essentially for nicola sturgeon, that's probably a bit too but there is too simplistic. but there is some to that humza some merit to that view. humza i don't know. he clears this up because he is a little bit squishy when it comes to things like gay marriage and he's not quite as progressive in private some could argue as he may be, is in public that correct? yes so and this vote the of people originally said did kate forbes because she said she wouldn't have voted gay marriage humza yousaf missed that vote and we're still not really clear about what he would have done if he seem to look he was there does seem to look like deliberately missed the like he deliberately missed the vote, i think that he's vote, but i think that he's a pragmatic politician so whatever
3:13 pm
his views are he is just going to keep the progressive train going. said, i don't think going. that said, i don't think he'll set up a fight over the gender because he's seen what that did to sturgeon and i suspect coming weeks suspect in the coming weeks you'll find way of making the you'll find a way of making the gender go away. there we gender bill go away. there we got michael thank you as got another michael thank you as even got another michael thank you as ever, michael symonds. those days, the days, the journalist at the spectator, right across spectator, he is right across everything scotland on political spectator, he is right across everjis ing scotland on political spectator, he is right across everjis the scotland on political spectator, he is right across everjis the endland on political spectator, he is right across everjis the end of d on political spectator, he is right across everjis the end of an n political spectator, he is right across everjis the end of an era )litical spectator, he is right across everjis the end of an era for cal well is the end of an era for scottish politics and the outgoing leader nicola outgoing snp leader nicola sturgeon, already given her sturgeon, has already given her backing to her replacement. i believe can see tweets now. believe we can see tweets now. yes, go. sturgeon yes, there we go. sturgeon tweeted, pay tribute to all tweeted, i pay tribute to all three for snp three candidates for the snp leadership for to the leadership for rising to the challenge. most all, i congratulate humza yousaf and wish him every success he will be announced standing leader and first and could not first minister and i could not be prouder to have him succeed. me so there we go. that's the view of our leader. nicola sturgeon let's whiz ourselves over the scottish labour over to the scottish labour leader sarwar many is leader now. anas sarwar many is tipping him as actually the big winner comes to of winner when it comes to all of this. yousaf, but went this. he humza yousaf, but went on say that he's taking over a
3:14 pm
chaotic and divided party. there's of touch analysis of ideas and it does feel as though there's a big opening now for there's a big opening now for the labour party north of the border as ourself over to the scottish tories and leader douglas ross. he's congratulated. i'm sure it'd be a bit rude not to, wouldn't say. but he said that he, his party had serious about usa's ability to deliver for the people of scotland and that ties in to what michael symons was saying it doesn't say his it was early doesn't say his track it health and track record it health and justice as well. i think let's be honest with you it's a little bit squishy but let's actually go scotland now. people to go to scotland now. people to edinburgh enjoying in edinburgh are last enjoying in scotland. tony maguire scotland. reporter tony maguire who was there witnessing it all unfold before his very eyes . unfold before his very eyes. terry holmes elusive then . terry holmes elusive then. obviously it wasn't a resounding victory, he did victory, but he did win nonetheless. was like nonetheless. what was he like in? speech ? yeah, well , i in? his speech? yeah, well, i think his speech, you know , he think his speech, you know, he had all the key points, certainly a man made remarks about his and obviously his journey through politics, the history of his family since
3:15 pm
arriving in scotland and then when it came the actual meat and potato of what is and his entry when he takes office later week you know it was the things that quite frankly defined all three candidates campaign ends over the last five weeks so you know we knew the nhs he image we'll be able to take a slight sigh of relief where he can have kind of 1 degrees of separation from all that's going on in the nhs know the nhs is really struggling at the nhs is really struggling at the minute especially dentistry and in other parts it and of course we know that the cost of living crisis in scotland is just as bad as anywhere else in the uk. you know, some reports that our energy bills are actually the highest in uk and when he eventually went , he'd when he eventually went, he'd made his way through the rest of that the general governing in sessions that we all wanted hear from him and we got to know an independent . so that was from him and we got to know an independent. so that was kind of shoehorned then at the end i
3:16 pm
find that really interesting actually . i mean, i has kate actually. i mean, i has kate forbes attitudes tend dependence through this campaign was of kind of gradualism of eventually winning people over winning hearts and minds you never went so far as kate forbes to talk about the no voters and appealing to the other side of independence campaign but a vote for humza yousaf today meant that you know the snp membership they've understood that banging they've understood that banging the door at the end of westminster try and get independence hasn't worked and was both as a continuity candidate . i think over the last candidate. i think over the last couple of weeks specifically, we've actually seen of his policies ideas can i take may not divergences to that of nicola sturgeon and i think that's quite an interesting development for him that he's the success of kate forbes on the success of kate forbes on the campaign trail and her take on bringing some of nicola eight year old ideas . and to 2023 tony
3:17 pm
year old ideas. and to 2023 tony thank you very very tony maguire that gb news is scotland reporter i asked you all what you made of it and the emails have been coming in views at have been coming in gb views at gbnews.uk. interesting one from ross. yes, i'll just do one now. so move to. on he says so i want to move to. on he says the scottish population will not vote look is vote for humza and look there is a that this is a really a sense that this is a really landmark moment in scottish politics the snp, politics future of the snp, which clearly as which is clearly split as a result of this vote. you can see it there for all to see. humza yusuf winning by pretty much that famous 50 mark with that famous 50 to 48% mark with are enough for both those are quite enough for both those numbers british politics. i numbers in british politics. i think go could it think by now you go could it open labour? what open the door for labour? what does mean for independence? does it mean for independence? oh, that we the dawn of oh, look that we go the dawn of a era. anyway, moving on. it a new era. anyway, moving on. it is more days, scottish is a lot more days, scottish politics. but but. but it also promises to be significant day in mps debating in westminster. mps are debating the illegal migration bill that's happening right now. we're going to go to the commons shortly and we'll bring you any big throughout the big hits as throughout the course stand up and course of the show stand up and say views on it all. it
3:18 pm
say their views on it all. it was thought that rishi sunak was actually the actually going to face the biggest rebellion he biggest tory rebellion since he became minister on and became prime minister on and a lot of tories who didn't think that this bill went far enough. but there is update coming up but there is an update coming up on in a moment. earlier on that in a moment. earlier today, sue duncan suella braverman, what heckled on a visit to chelmsford , a woman visit to chelmsford, a woman demanding more demanding they allow more migrants the country . right migrants into the country. right away show . right now you go in away show. right now you go in just in case you could make that out. that was rishi sunak being shouted out by a woman. the street in chelmsford who said go away, we don't want you here and allow migrants the country. i'm joined our reporter joined now by our reporter catherine catherine. catherine forster catherine. so we originally thinking we were originally thinking there was going to be some kind of large scale tory of wind, large scale tory rebellion. but i understand that might not happen now . it looks might not happen now. it looks like for now at least, the rebels have backed down. yes, it expected that up to 60 conservative mps might rebel against rishi, might back very
3:19 pm
amendments put forward by people like red wall mp jonathan kruger. simon who was previously levelling up secretary essentially to toughen up the legislation and necessary ignore the european court human rights to stop stop them interfering as did last year when they grounded the flight to rwanda. but it seems that at the moment they have decided not to pursue those amendments because have been warned of all that they could scupper the whole thing because all that's going to do is when it gets to the lords going to face an even rougher than it already will and it will face a really tough ride in the lords and it will also make the one nafion and it will also make the one nation tories too left who are concerned about it being too tough , even more likely to rebel tough, even more likely to rebel . there's basically people saying it's too tough. it's
3:20 pm
people saying it's not tough enough. but the government are saying well, rishi sunak say it's a tough piece of legislation the likes of . we've legislation the likes of. we've never seen . they are assuring never seen. they are assuring that the people on the right that the people on the right that they're listening , that that they're listening, that they get the message and they that they can stop the boats without having to sort of press the nuclear button. yeah. and a couple of those amendments were to migrant hotels , gullies, to migrant hotels, gullies, especially just wanting to outright the use of hotels for migrants . what would happen migrants. what would happen then? and we'd to wait, then? and we'd have to wait, see? looks like that might be off well. like off the table as well. like you've said there about you've just said there about making it easier to deport people without having adhere people without having to adhere to but one of the big to the echr. but one of the big potential rebellion , and that's potential rebellion, and that's what rebels say on alfama was eventuates monday. people one of the big rebels on this could have been suella braverman, but that looks as though which would have been quite tasty, wouldn't it? home secretary it? the actual home secretary rebelling but that rebelling on this but that doesn't appear to be happening. rebelling on this but that does|the ppear to be happening. rebelling on this but that does|the been' to be happening. rebelling on this but that does|the been reports1appening. rebelling on this but that does|the been reports thatening. well the been reports that perhaps home secretary was perhaps the home secretary was
3:21 pm
behind some of this discontent and in that she was giving them and in that she was giving them a push because she actually would like this to go further. of course that has been vehemently denied that she was in any way involved in any of this. and rishi sunak has made it clear today they are not prepared to block or either the uk or the european. but i think part of suella braverman trip to rwanda and look at the hotels look at the houses that are being built. was trying to paint a picture actually it's okay be sent to rwanda and try to convince europe basically to back off and let us send people because how are we going stop this? obviously we've got the deal with the french, but that's not going to be enough in itself. we've got to make sure that know that if they that people know that if they come, they don't going to stay. but does remain somewhat but now it does remain somewhat a mystery, doesn't because a mystery, doesn't it? because we anticipating seeing we were anticipating seeing around we were around 60 rebels. we were thinking, to
3:22 pm
thinking, well, that is going to be around no listening be around basically no listening to echr doing our thing. to echr doing our own thing. clearly, been given clearly, they have been given some is on and some reassurance is on that and clearly they feel now is that they don't need to rebel on. but we will bring you updates as and we will bring you updates as and we say thank you very much catherine forster that all political joined political reporter i'm joined now seeing bengalis now how i'm seeing bengalis in immigration shed immigration who maybe can shed some exactly what some light on exactly what reassures of these concerns reassures some of these concerns peace have been given hold peace might have been given hold job. you so how on earth job. thank you so how on earth could they have given could they have been given a proper assurance that we would be able to deport people in the way frankly, a lot of these way that frankly, a lot of these tories want to? well, pulling tories want us to? well, pulling of the echr , i think solar of the echr, i think solar bndges of the echr, i think solar bridges have sort of convinced , bridges have sort of convinced, look, that despite all the opposition , the rwanda plan, we opposition, the rwanda plan, we did win last case is ahead and, you know, trust us, pretty much trust the process. but it's also interesting , your political interesting, your political commentators said that there were rumours that social might have been behind the rebellion and it might just be a case of, oh, i've i've been caught out
3:23 pm
and she's not going to be happy . i and she's not going to be happy .i need and she's not going to be happy . i need to control this whole situation and make sure it goes through. but i'm definitely heanng through. but i'm definitely hearing the same sort of stuff which are doing that. it was suella has placated suella braverman has placated the and them look, the rebels and has them look, trust trust the process. trust in me. trust the process. i'm just as hardline right wing on this as you are. and you know , manage to get it through. but she's obviously a while it would appear obviously saying to them , well, i've got a way through this. i've got a way of a staying in the echr you don't need to rebel on this. trust me. so what could have happened? could gone to the echr could she have gone to the echr and said, look, we're just going to with anyway, to press ahead with anyway, don't make us leave don't make us out. let one go. this is us pull out. let one go. this is what we're going to do and you're going to have to you're just going to have to deal i don't want any deal with it. i don't want any more late night foreign judges faces rooms somewhere faces in dark rooms somewhere blocking , taking off from my blocking, taking off from my country. if you let this slide, then we'll stick with you. well, i'll tell you what she should have done she was quite smart have done if she was quite smart and might done this, if and she might have done this, if she have top heads
3:24 pm
she would have got the top heads together because she's a herself. let's not forget about this . and have dealt this. and she would have dealt with lot of issues, this with a lot of issues, this entire line work. she have entire line of work. she have got heads together and got the top heads together and said, right, how can i work around it? and if she's found a way around it, then she would have that have probably kept that to herself the time being and herself for the time being and said, can get this said, look, i can get this through. seem as if through. so it does seem as if she does have some aces up her sleeve. if not, then this could all really backfire all potentially really backfire because all because you could end having all of chat and all of these of this chat and all of these visits to rwanda and, all of these lovely photos that you're showing us and end not showing us and end up not actually sending anyone back. and public are not and the british public are not going to have that. and if that happens gets sent to happens and nobody gets sent to rwanda we realise that the rwanda and we realise that the british public realise the essentially hired and been essentially been hired and been sold pipe or dream sold another pipe dream or dream as theni sold another pipe dream or dream as then i think at the as it were. then i think at the election the conservatives are going to suffer for it. yeah. big time no hard drive. thank you much shaun today but you very much shaun today but much appreciated on the last i've seen there is an i've seen bungle there is an immigration and raises immigration lawyer and he raises a for us to finish on a key point for us to finish on ladies because is it
3:25 pm
ladies and gents because is it just pipe dream? so the just another pipe dream? so the problem and it would appear we were anticipating big tory rebellion mp rebellion 60 tory mp is potentially against this potentially out against this illegal that appears illegal migration that appears to not be the case. so clearly discussions have taken place between home secretary who between the home secretary who as is at least verbally as we know, is at least verbally anyway very against the anyway very, very against the idea that foreign judges can stop deportation. she has apparently to placate a lot of those tory backbenchers. what she said is, she made a rod for our own back. does it feel like deja vu if we've been here before where people are given promises, talk tough and then not done anything? there appears to be a lot lot being done on to be a lot a lot being done on in the backbenches of the tory at the minute and that could well back to bite both sunak and suella braverman gb views of gb news uk. moving on prince harry is in court today. no it's not that. he's suing the publisher of the daily mail. i will bring you the very latest on the goings on for the high go. i'm patrick and this is gb

3:30 pm
allegations against, the associated newspapers, he published the mail mail on sunday mail online and are the hiring of investigators to secretly place listening devices inside people's and homes listening to private calls, payments to police officers . he payments to police officers. he with corrupt links to private investigators the linked list goes on the mail on sunday and daily mail publishes essentially saying it's preposterous measures and unsubstantiated and highly defamatory claims. and they are saying actually in court today that all these have come to light as the case is almost stale because allegations in question happens late nineties, early, 2000s and 20, 30 years has passed since then . 30 years has passed since then. yeah, exactly. yeah. it does seem like he's kind of opening range back up, doesn't it . but range back up, doesn't it. but we're this to rumble we're expecting this to rumble on for a little while. yes. oh yeah. four days. this to me hearing. and then we'll see whether not justices make whether or not the justices make it go to a full blown trial. it go on to a full blown trial. but is prince harry's war but this is prince harry's war against. press continuing, against. the press continuing, but very significant but clearly very significant because of
3:31 pm
because there are a number of other very high profile figures involved in this particular case. elton for example, case. elton john, for example, david , elizabeth hurley david furnish, elizabeth hurley to name, but a few. so clearly they feel like they have a too case set. prince harry clearly since death, his mother, diana, princess of wales , had a bit of princess of wales, had a bit of a hatred towards british press in tabloids. british press in the tabloids. british press in the tabloids. british press in particular, and then spare, haven't we? we've talked that months about spare and obe and how he's talks about the press and darts and alleging of his own have been briefing own family have been briefing him wife meghan in the him and his wife meghan in the press fearing meghan will press fearing that meghan will go down the same route as diana terms of the same fate. so all of this prince harry genuinely thinks this his duty to essentially change way the british media system works and seek justice for those don't have as strong or public voice as he does. no, no, absolutely. this is quite literally making a down to at least taking to it as well. just a quick one. i really want to cut you off guard too much. but there is another royal story doing the rounds story that is doing the rounds in to say that friends close to
3:32 pm
prince andrew have this. prince andrew have rubbish this. but prince apparently but prince andrew apparently planning write a memoir mean planning to write a memoir mean thatis planning to write a memoir mean that is what has been reported that is what has been reported that prince andrew is trying to is to a memoir. of course is to write a memoir. of course he we are led to believe that he has been to leave his home the windsor estates, because exporting of arts and king charles doesn't want to pay for the upkeep he's been offered frogmore cottage. he's not very happy about that. clearly, he's still about fact still very bitter about the fact that no longer working. that he is no longer working. member royal family. that member of the royal family. that was choice. unlike was not his choice. unlike prince harry, that was his choice to leave working choice to leave as working member. like he member. and he feels like he wants to get his side of the story we saw what story across. but we saw what happens the emily happens in 2018 with the emily maitlis he has tried that maitlis and he has tried that once or twice before. and it's not necessarily going that well for . exactly. the argument is for go. exactly. the argument is with that it's his words with a book that it's his words and he and there's no and he can't and there's no interview asking him questions many back that he has to many off the back that he has to think about. but then clearly the going the book is going to be scrutinised it is true as scrutinised if it is true as much prince harry's come in. much as prince harry's come in. thank you very much. come and walk royal reports walk it all. royal reports may
3:33 pm
be coming in only can live in frogmore if prince frogmore cottage if prince andrew but andrew isn't about it. but there's those to come there's still those more to come between and 4:00. a tory between now and 4:00. a tory will his reaction to rishi will give his reaction to rishi sunak plans to crack on sunak plans to crack down on anti behaviour. got anti social behaviour. we've got loads on that actually essentially criminalising begging fair begging even more. is that fair as a bad look for the tories making people who have graffitied viz graffitied things where high viz jackets and do community service . there's the latest as . anyway, there's the latest as well on the oil leak in paul harbour that's declared now harbour that's been declared now as major devastating as a major incident devastating stuff now. but first, it's time for the latest headlines. the thames . patrick, thank you. here thames. patrick, thank you. here the headlines at 333 humza yousaf has been elected as the new leader of the national party, succeeding nicola sturgeon the health secretary victory over finance secretary kate forbes and former community safety minister ash regan turn out in the party's leadership election with 70. mr. yousaf , election with 70. mr. yousaf, who is the youngest snp and also

3:36 pm
patrick what we've got lots on today but i want to bring you the latest from a major incident that's been declared in dorset after an oil from which far one of oil leak from which far one of the largest onshore oil fields in europe and the health agency is warning the public, not a swimming pool harbour or the surrounding areas . and the local surrounding areas. and the local council says oil escaped now into the areas of water. so i'm going to bring you the latest now , jeff moody, who's been at now, jeff moody, who's been at the scene all day for us. what however damaging this turns to be for humans, there's no doubt that it's damaging for wildlife. there are thousands of birds, including terns and gulls, that are breeding here at the moment. they're making their nests out in pearl harbour. but at the same time, birds that have overwinter here are still hanging around, waiting to go off for the summer. so a lot of
3:37 pm
wildlife here at the moment in the mudflats around harbour and also because harbour is covered, it has headland all the way around, it's not very exposed . around, it's not very exposed. the open sea, which is just the other side of brown sea island. that that there aren't many waves here. the sea is quite the water is quite calm and that means that the oil won't get a chance to wash away . so that is chance to wash away. so that is the worry that it's going to have a devastating impact on wildlife. well, earlier on i spoke to jim stewart the harbour commissioners is what he had to say . so it's a relatively low say. so it's a relatively low risk for individuals. we have advised people to not use the harbour for recreational swimming or recreational purposes until further notice there is then potential risk for there is then potential risk for the environment which is to harbour incredibly area trip lsi s.p.a ramsar sites . so that's s.p.a ramsar sites. so that's what we've got the team out at
3:38 pm
the moment looking through the harbour. we've got four teams, helicopters , drones, boats to helicopters, drones, boats to try and identify any particular oil spills , areas that need to oil spills, areas that need to be addressed. well, residents are particularly concerned not only because there's a shellfishing industry here, but of course, there's the tourism people using the water for swimming, for boating for canoeing, for kayaking and all sorts. they've told to stay out of the for water the moment. a general in paul today that this isn't the first time this has happened. of course, last summer there were all of stories of sewage being washed into the sea. and now so a demonstration is for later on this afternoon , is for later on this afternoon, people are going to be telling the harbour masters. they really had enough . yeah. jeff moody, had enough. yeah. jeff moody, that bringing us the latest from frankly what could turn out to be a pretty devastating incident that's i think in poole. it is
3:39 pm
believed that around 200 barrels of fluid, including oil, has now leaked out into a natural habitat . there, one would habitat. there, one would imagine, is going to have a devastating impact on wildlife as well as, of course, public enjoyment of swimming in the area. sarah look, i just want to delve into the inbox quickly. gbviews@gbnews.uk you gbviews@gbnews.uk loads. are you getting our top story of getting in with our top story of the day, which that scotland the day, which is that scotland has new leader of the snp soon has a new leader of the snp soon be yet, but soon to be be quite yet, but soon to be a new first minister and that person humza crushing email. person is humza crushing email. this one from who said this one from david who said that won by 2% that humza yousaf has won by 2% to surely if history is to 48. surely if history is anything to go by that that the scottish people should demand a people's vote to confirm the result? have a quite result? yes, we have a quite enough of that margin of haven't we, this country on from the we, in this country on from the brexit debate. brian said brexit debate. brian has said he's humza useless. he's going to be in charge now and it's the end of the snp alluding to the fact that humza yousaf has actually been relatively used as in previous of power, that he's . but what do you make of it all
3:40 pm
ladies and we're going to be touching on this throughout the course of the show. i'm also going to be going the going to be going online to, the house commons as when house of commons as and when some big hitters stand up some of the big hitters stand up because a big taking because there's a big taking place on the illegal migration bill. there was talk of a massive party massive conservative party rebellion to the rebellion when it came to the illegal migration bill, but actually led our home actually led by our home secretary suella braverman. but that quieted down that seems to have quieted down somewhat. i come somewhat. but what i do come back, believe that back, what do you believe that you soon to have? seven you might soon to have? seven reasons. cycling bends . yeah, reasons. cycling bends. yeah, that's right. seven recycling bins. absolutely madness. and also as . well find out what some also as. well find out what some people have been vandalising the old ulez cameras. people have had had had enough. people have had enough. christys and enough. i'm patrick christys and this

3:42 pm
start going superfast now. welcome back now. prime minister rishi sunak has announced a big crackdown on anti—social crackdown on anti —social behaviour crackdown on anti—social behaviour so set out, promised to tackle what he called the scourge of drugs . there will be scourge of drugs. there will be increased policing in areas of england and wales deemed to have
3:43 pm
amounts of low level crime aim. we can take a look now at some of the prime minister's plans. so here go. there will be a ban on nitrous oxide. this is a laughing gas. okay. those little silver you might silver canisters that you might see the place see listed around the place going to clamp down on that. police will get new powers to drug when they're drug test people when they're arrested, presumably not for laughing, but other things arrested, presumably not for lalwell.|, but other things arrested, presumably not for lalwell. |, butbeggars�*r things arrested, presumably not for lalwell. |, butbeggars willngs arrested, presumably not for lalwell. |, butbeggars will be as well. and beggars will be targeted. that's right. so it will be made an offence for criminal to organise begging. that one will be controversial. we're going to debate that later in the show. actually offenders what we mean to wear high vis vests or jumpsuits as. what we mean to wear high vis vests or jumpsuits as . they what we mean to wear high vis vests or jumpsuits as. they pick up litter, remove graffiti and wash police cars as part of community payback . i quite like community payback. i quite like that one. that's the flats and fines . fly—tipping. good god fines. fly—tipping. good god graffiti and littering will also increased to £1,000. can just raise with i mean if people necessarily got the money to pay that out of that. joining me now is darren mccaffrey our political editor and darren
3:44 pm
joins me, i believe. yes, there is so rishi sunak getting tough , low level crime . yeah, tough , low level crime. yeah, tough on the causes of crime and of a low level crime, as you said, patrick, with range of initiatives today, they are catching on. clearly the one around laughing gas. so the focus, as we said, of speech was about the little that one might find in parks or , in public area find in parks or, in public area , that it does seem that seems to be motivation to stop people using this. it must be said already, though it is a crime actually to sell those canisters to people recreational use. this will not the person who decides to use them. in the end though actually has got cross—party support. it's something the labour party came out a couple of months ago and said should happen. prime minister doing happen. the prime minister doing this would that this while he would argue that this while he would argue that this is the third biggest kind of drug , if you like, for young of drug, if you like, for young people , that it bleeds into people, that it bleeds into other societal problems. not not least of all bigger crimes. it's kind of the broken window. so
3:45 pm
now if you focus on the small stuff, you'll sort out the big stuff, you'll sort out the big stuff though. drugs, charities argue it's not a good idea because ultimately in the end what is will just drive what i'll do is will just drive people towards criminal gangs. i think big question though think the big question though for today, for the prime minister today, patrick, is , yes, of patrick, all in all is, yes, of course, anti—social behaviour is a of course everyone a scourge of course everyone wants sorted . but wants to see it sorted. but given that conviction given the fact that conviction rates for crimes an all time low in this country around six or 7, many would suggest maybe the police, maybe the government should be focusing on things like burglary, assault, rape and murder rather than things that are a nuisance rather than the kind of big problems, the big crimes in our society. kind of big problems, the big crimes in our society . yeah. crimes in our society. yeah. darren, you very much. darren, thank you very much. darren, thank you very much. darren mccaffrey there, our political editor bringing you the is you to get really the latest is you to get really tough on quite low level crimes. look i think fly—tipping is absolutely isn't and a complete nuisance i guess i think a lot of people's problem with the laughing gas stuff is that the people leave the canisters around. how many around. i'm not sure how many people are that bothered about this so—called hippy crack
3:46 pm
people and people actually using it and don't whether criminalising don't know whether criminalising that much for it. that is going to do much for it. i the idea. i don't know i do like the idea. i don't know you though. i do like the idea of people who found guilty of graffiti and just messing the graffiti and just messing up the local area, essentially being made clean it up while a big made to clean it up while a big hives jacket that says something like it . there we go. like i'm a on it. there we go. maybe those on a maybe wear one of those on a daily but moving on daily basis, but we're moving on now. reaction to now. let's get reaction to today's announcements. am today's announcements. i am joined conservative mp joined by the conservative mp karen thank karen mullan. karen, thank you very much. now what do you make of this? the criticism would that doing that actually this is doing nothing really big, nothing to tackle really big, serious is the stuff serious and that is the stuff that people are most worried about. well, thanks for having that people are most worried abotand'ell, thanks for having that people are most worried abotand'eiwelcome for having me. and i welcome the announcement today. these are the types of things that hear a lot constituency employees lot of as constituency employees and nantwich . i hear and crew in nantwich. i hear about types problems, about these types of problems, whether ses being whether the kind of ses being left fly left around, whether fly tipping, these are tipping, littering these are things that fell npr's inboxes and we feed that back to the government i'm really glad see that the government's listened government i'm really glad see that theandfernment's listened government i'm really glad see that theand i rnment's listened government i'm really glad see that theand i don't1t's listened government i'm really glad see that theand i don't think;tened government i'm really glad see that theand i don't think it'sad government i'm really glad see that theand i don't think it's a on this and i don't think it's a matter of either or that we call it look at the more serious crimes if we have a focus on the
3:47 pm
cause the challenges we're cause of the challenges we're talking we are talking about today, we are doing to that. the doing what we can to that. the reduction prosecutions and the time it's taken to be in court. you have remember we had our you have to remember we had our courts almost entirely closed dunng courts almost entirely closed during pandemic and we did during the pandemic and we did quite well to keep them open for as as we did. but that doesn't mean there hasn't been a big backlog and the government's doing to get that doing what it can to get that backlog and backlog down and get prosecutions but it's prosecutions along. but but it's a challenging people to deal a challenging for people to deal with. clearly people are with. yeah clearly people are going to jump all over the begging angle it and say that it makes tories look like really nasty that you've got people lining the with absolutely nothing sticking and out asking for a bit of loose change or a bit of food for someone who walks by and the tories essentially want to round them up and move them on. what are you planning doing you actually planning on doing with? beggars? well, i think people the difference between genuine person who got no choice but to be begging you , i would but to be begging you, i would say there are always supports available to people locally . the
3:48 pm
available to people locally. the challenge is often getting the right service , someone in their right service, someone in their circumstances. but what we're talking about here is as describe is organised criminal gangs that you know, they're either taking advantage of a vulnerable person and getting them to beg and then taking the proceeds or actually proceeds them or actually they're putting on in the they're just putting on in the first place. i'm afraid we all have heard of examples in our constituency of who are, you know, organised it's way constituency of who are, you kn getting organised it's way constituency of who are, you kn getting moneyed it's way constituency of who are, you kn getting money off t's way constituency of who are, you kn getting money off people.y of getting money off people. it's because someone's it's not because someone's actually and they actually desperate and they might for might be using that money for drug use people themselves or i said feeding a criminal said feeding into a criminal gang. absolutely. gang. yeah, look, absolutely. i mean, of massive mean, i think of massive examples from i was examples of it from when i was growing also why not growing up. and also why not just around london at the moment you see people who are you can see people who are unfortunately horrible unfortunately it's a horrible thing say. it's true. you can thing to say. it's true. you can just see that they actually just see that they are actually putting bus and hanging putting it on a bus and hanging around etc. around at traffic lights, etc. so yeah. now this is so i think. yeah. now this is essentially , i in essentially, i think in a nutshell the tories trying to clamp things that most clamp down on things that most people just find use as in people just find and use as in day day life don't they. so day to day life don't they. so you you graffiti you fly—tipping you graffiti people maybe when they people begging maybe when they shouldn't be necessarily doing so. right? you? this
3:49 pm
so. is that right? do you? this is massive vote with is actually a massive vote with a yeah, i think you're a yeah, but i think you're underestimating that that underestimating impact that that smaller so i'll smaller stuff can have. so i'll use the example where we get a lot of this in my the town of crewe and the people occupying space sort of thing space to do that sort of thing just about the impact that just about the impact of that behaviour. other people behaviour. it means other people don't they those don't feel they can use those spaces. a recent spaces. so i've had a recent issue this bit people issue where this bit people gathering to drink in gangs at a bus stop and actually if an bus stop and actually if you an elderly lady travelling on your own, don't want see a bus own, you don't want to see a bus with in the middle of the with people in the middle of the day are drinking. it's not day who are drinking. it's not just behaviour in just about that bad behaviour in itself, it's got to exclude itself, but it's got to exclude the people those shared the people from those shared pubuc the people from those shared public the same public spaces. it's the same with local play very. with local play parks very. often people will because often people will go because they're up the of they're fed up of the smell of wheat. in trouble. they wheat. they're in trouble. they may well into that up. so may well get into that up. so it's a dual purpose it's got a dual purpose absolutely at thank absolutely look here at thank could i'm going to could i yes i'm going to apologise behaviour at apologise for my behaviour at your stop as karen your local bus stop as karen gillan that was conservative mp for crewe and now which just wasn't you that's always wasn't good you that's always trying on low level trying to get tough on low level crime have impact crime but it does have an impact that sit right now have that doesn't sit right now have the ever refused take
3:50 pm
the binmen ever refused to take your bins out? you've got the waste management wrong. there's there which there was one example which really actually over really wound me up actually over my some flowers my grandma and some flowers in the recycling because our garden bin of the ice and bin was because of the ice and she couldn't open up and they she couldn't open it up and they refused take it anyway. refused to take it anyway. enough personal issues. enough for my personal issues. it's get a whole it's possible if get a whole lot stricter so the stricter that okay so the government exploring new government are exploring new plans where households could need seven bins new need as many seven bins for new waste collection rules. the plans are due to be made public in a couple of weeks. there's a chance have to chance local might have to collect glass, metal collect your glass, paper, metal and separately as well and plastic separately as well as general rubbish as well as separate bins , food and garden separate bins, food and garden waste. justify this could cost you around 3 billion quid. i'm joined now by sam hall, director of the conservative network. sam, this madness . so i think sam, this madness. so i think that first proposing here and what sam gone in the environment act which i passed a couple of years ago, is setting consistent standards for types of materials to be through a household waste collection . it's making sure collection. it's making sure that these the recycling system,
3:51 pm
which is this patchwork across the country, 350 different types of standards that different councils have around , the types councils have around, the types of materials that are being recycled it's just one common set of standards across the uk andifs set of standards across the uk and it's going to make much easier and much simpler for households to recycle to do bit for the reason that it's going to be more housing, going to make it much simpler it's going to cost anyway is going to do is going to cost around £465 million a year for seven years, which is total to £3.25 billion. and is going to happen if you've got a who's in a race or a man for that matter, who's just used to just normally putting the bins out. he might not have the capacity sift through every bits of they get of rubbish. do they get clobbered with a fine for putting a ten in the garden bin mamas or something. no, they mamas tag or something. no, they shouldn't caught the shouldn't get caught with the fine and. the reason it's simpler getting simpler is because it's getting into regional variation into this regional variation that, mumbai to that, as you move from mumbai to the next the way in the country the next the way in which you like what you can recycle. so that's that's how it's be simple. and
3:52 pm
it's going be made simple. and i one thing the department has already they're not already said is that they're not necessarily to mandate necessarily going to mandate that to have that councils have to have separate of these separate bins or each of these waste streams. council collect several of waste several different types of waste streams in one in one single collection and, then separate themselves in the debate . but at themselves in the debate. but at themselves in the debate. but at the moment, lots of recycling either do gets because the either do gets waste because the different materials get contaminated with different types of material not being able to separated. what this will to be separated. what this will do will mean that more the recycling that we put our recycling that we put our recycling be recycling bins can actually be used feedstock and used as valuable feedstock and we to take as much we don't have to take as much raw material for the environment which causes extra emissions and actually natural actually damage natural environment. alright, i've environment. okay alright, i've got to ask , what are these new got to ask, what are these new bins going to be made out? got to ask, what are these new bins going to be made out ? i bins going to be made out? i think a good question. i don't know . i think plastic isn't it. know. i think plastic isn't it. and so the rules themselves are making sure that the standards themselves consistent and that , themselves consistent and that, you know, i think longer term that this should mean that, you know, rather than councils having to centrally design and manage different systems
3:53 pm
manage all different systems that can just be worn across the country, yes, there'll country, i think, yes, there'll be transition . course the be a transition. of course the government a and government should make it a and as possible for as easy as possible for councillors to councillors individuals to comply think step comply with. but i think a step in right direction that will comply with. but i think a step in it ght direction that will comply with. but i think a step in it much rection that will comply with. but i think a step in it much simplerhat will comply with. but i think a step in it much simpler overall. make it much simpler overall. look, thank you very much for putting the good fight. sam, putting up the good fight. sam, hold that conservative hold that to the conservative environment network. but yeah, i can the optics it later. can see the optics it later. i know spending billion know about you spending billion quid and just quid over seven years and just ending with plastic outside ending it with plastic outside your house in the form of bins. but there are, sadiq khan. but there we are, sadiq khan. now planning ulez now is planning to expand ulez zone london. so this is the zone in london. so this is the ultra emission zone, by the ultra low emission zone, by the way. london way. this isn't just london centric this centric story because this is coming and a city near coming to a town and a city near you . and by the end of august, you. and by the end of august, it will cover all 32 london boroughs just the boroughs rather than just the centre. so it means vehicles which not meeting the european emissions standard will have to pay emissions standard will have to pay £12.50 for every day. they use that car within london for a little bit of context on this, ladies and gentlemen are going to want to over personalise. but every time i move my car off my driveway i would pay £12.50.
3:54 pm
okay so it's quite an expensive challenging now of course not everybody is happy about. yeah and have shown their displeasure by covering the ulez cameras with boxes and, bin bags and i think it's fantastic. although of course we don't condone civil disobedience . bacon is the mp disobedience. bacon is the mp for orpington joins me now. gareth you've been out protesting against the ulez expansion this morning. what do you make of the fact that public have quite clearly had enough this nonsense ? well, i don't this nonsense? well, i don't blame them and you see, there's no legitimacy for what mayor is trying it wasn't trying to do because it wasn't in his what he went to the polls less than years ago. it was overwhelming opposition to when less than years ago. it was ovedidlelming opposition to when less than years ago. it was ovedidleliconsultation ion to when less than years ago. it was ovedidleliconsultation and.) when less than years ago. it was ovedidleliconsultation and. he1en he did is consultation and. he said that there was overwhelming opposition would implement opposition he would implement it. really accuracy. it. it's not really accuracy. we know it's part know that because it's part of the mechanism . the consultation mechanism. carry on. sorry you were interrupted by clips of a protest to that. sorry, carry on. yes, i think that was orpington on saturday and we know there's going to be air equality because as part of the consultation, he had to produce
3:55 pm
or get an independent company to produce a report examining the impact the zone . impact of expanding the zone. and back and it and they came back and said it would a to negligible would have a minor to negligible impact. what he's looking to impact. so what he's looking to do impose do here to massively impose a restriction on people's standard of living for no reason whatsoever other than to raise money. i'm not surprised that people have enough, but the people have had enough, but the idea that there was some kind of pubuc idea that there was some kind of public consultation important to drill because drill down on this because as i've said, probably i've said, this is probably going to a or city near going to come to a or city near you at home, ladies and gentlemen. so this wasn't in his manifesto so people didn't to vote hasn't public vote on it there hasn't a public vote on it there hasn't a public vote since . but my vote on it since. but my understanding is that he said that there was going to be some kind of public but he'd already ordered cameras that he would need already the need so we'd already the taxpayer paid it. so taxpayer really paid for it. so a consultation was a public consultation was basically right. basically pointless. is right. yes that seems to be correct. so he did do the consultation. he tried to suppress the results but to release them but was forced to release them in consultation itself . he in the consultation itself. he tried to ignore certain responses to the same if responses to the same thing. if you look , it sends out a pro you look, it sends out a pro forma for people to top in town
3:56 pm
which they did over 5000 people and that apparently treated and that was apparently treated one rather than 5000 one response rather than 5000 responses environment responses although environment groups did something very similar , any countered of similar, any countered each of their responses. individual but despite this , over 60% of despite all of this, over 60% of people said no and 70% of londoners said no . 80% of london londoners said no. 80% of london businesses no. then it turned out that through the consultation process it been interfering with it and setting targeted mailing to people and onune targeted mailing to people and online advertising to try to get certain he thought would support the ulez to try to respond . the the ulez to try to respond. the consultation and as you've just said , he'd already bought the said, he'd already bought the cameras so i've got to ask you quite a bit pressed this time that you're saying this going to have a massive environmental impact. can you can you prove and secondly, is it about raising money? is that what this is that a you get is competitive 7 is that a you get is competitive ? well, i don't have to prove it because. his own report was produced independently by jacobs tells you that they've done all their own analysis and they said it would have a minor to
3:57 pm
negligible impact. so course, negligible impact. so of course, this about just raising this is all about just raising money if was going to money because if i was going to take back and its finances and that's what he's and worth noting as ladies and noting as well ladies and gentlemen at home of this gentlemen at home a lot of this money to come from money is going to come from people who can least afford it because who can't because the people who can't afford who afford electric cars, who can't afford electric cars, who can't afford car. people are afford new car. and people are out there trying to earn a crust in a van, you know, a painter decorator said to look great. thank very for your thank you very much for your time. really appreciate it time. i really appreciate it gareth bacon that mp for orpington that was. orpington what an hour that was. i've one coming i've got another one coming your way couple of minutes. way in just a couple of minutes. the has new leader. it's the snp has new leader. it's humza yousaf he says he's the snp has new leader. it's hurluckiest af he says he's the snp has new leader. it's hurluckiest man he says he's the snp has new leader. it's hurluckiest man in he says he's the snp has new leader. it's hurluckiest man in the says he's the snp has new leader. it's hurluckiest man in the world.

england wales in 2024. and we're replacing the 19 century vagrancy act, which criminalise the destitute with tools to direct vulnerable individuals towards a appropriate support, such as accommodation, mental health, substance misuse services . we will criminalise services. we will criminalise organised begging which often facilitated by criminal gangs to obtain cash for illicit activity . we will prohibit begging where it causes blight or public nuisance, such as by a cashpoint or in a shop doorway or approaching someone in the. a rough sleeping can cause distress to other members . the distress to other members. the community, for example by obstructing the entrance of a local business or leaving debris and tents . so we will give and tents. so we will give police , local authorities, the police, local authorities, the tools they've asked for to deal with situations while ensure that those who are genuinely

4:08 pm
that the conservative party wants to get to grips with what's on in local what's going on in local communities and that means things it's things bad gaming where it's a blight , a things bad gaming where it's a blight, a nuisance and of course the organic crime gangs behind bagging . so not wanting to be bagging. so not wanting to be too harsh on genuine homeless people it would who just want to try and get a few quid, etc. also things like graffiti fly—tipping and really community action . community action. so one action. community action. so one of the big ones that stood out for me, a little bit of shaming , little bit of public shaming . , little bit of public shaming. so people who commit low level crimes in an area like graffiti and the fly—tipping, etc. be made to do community service wearing high vis vests . so wearing high vis vests. so anyone who walks past them and that fine of £1,000 now the fine of £1,000. i'm a little dubious about because i would have thought that if someone was trying to paying or maybe the kind of person who goes out graffiti, have they got a grand to just pay ? i'm not sure they to just pay? i'm not sure they do, but i suppose it is a deterrent, isn't it? but what do make of that, ladies and
4:09 pm
gentlemen, gb views a gbnews.uk the criticism, obvious criticisms are . we criticisms to it are. we shouldn't be criminalising people who are already destitute, beggars . some destitute, i.e. beggars. some people with that people will disagree with that and of course as well all be doing tackle some real doing enough tackle some real level crime. so rapes, murder , level crime. so rapes, murder, burglaries will people rather they did that. interesting that toilet problem and they're finished on saying there's going to police to deal with to be more police to deal with these again the obvious these crimes again the obvious pushback that be that the pushback to that be that the numbers of police in the uk had fallen under conservatives to begin with. they now just begin with. are they now just trying to replace us? that's always a clearly trying to desperately they, the desperately claim that they, the party order. do party of law and order. do you buy they're selling ? buy what they're selling? gbviews@gbnews.uk uk but we are moving on now to the snp who've elected yousaf as that new leader use replace nicola sturgeon. he resigned after eight years as scotland's first minister. he won the contest ahead of kate forbes and ash regan and in scotland, firstly from an ethnic minority background. let's play the clip . and just as ireland leads the snp in the interest of all party
4:10 pm
members , not just those who members, not just those who voted for. so i will aim to scotland and the interests of all of our citizens. what ever your political allegiance and as your political allegiance and as your first visit to its waters, vote at its know that will be a first minister for all. so i will work every minute of every to air. i be asked your respect and your trust . i will do that and your trust. i will do that by reaching you will scotland with respect there will be no empty promises or easy soundees empty promises or easy soundbites for the issues front of us. a difficult and complex because government is easy. but i won't pretend that it is . yes, i won't pretend that it is. yes, we've got a big job. his hands and actually the result there was because humza yousaf beat kate forbes by 52% to 48% which we all know those infamous are etched into every british
4:11 pm
rattling around after the old brexit vote. so it was not the resounding victory that many were predicting for humza yousaf and his track record is again coming into the spotlight, isn't it ? our transport minister, his it? our transport minister, his health secretary well. just health secretary as well. just this. anyway, let's go to edinburgh join news edinburgh now and join gb news is scotland. maguire. tony is scotland. tony maguire. tony was it a jubilant atmosphere where you were when humza yousaf was announced as minister? what was announced as minister? what was snp leader, was going on? snp leader, i should . well certainly. i'm should say. well certainly. i'm glad you caught some of that audio there. humza yousaf certainly a hit from the toddlers in the audience who seem to be giving him quite a cheer through his speech . and i cheer through his speech. and i would say that i expected with with it being so close between us, i wouldn't say it was even as close as some people thought may have been. and when it was between the three, but with the second preference votes from ash reagan getting divided between the other two candidates and i
4:12 pm
think a lot of people were were expecting that to be quite tense really up the words came out of their mouths . it could have gone their mouths. it could have gone either way . and that's certainly either way. and that's certainly down to, you know, quite a comeback really from kate forbes over the last few weeks. but one way or another, you know humza yousaf has one aim. he had the majority , the votes, and majority, the votes, and certainly no, you've heard in his speech there that has priority . his speech there that has priority. he's just been open and, frank and honest and transparent . and again, that's transparent. and again, that's something we've heard really the way from last weekend , where we way from last weekend, where we had three resignations back to back aim from the operational of the snp this week, set be quite exciting not over yet as they say certainly the scottish rugby team who obviously play in murrayfield behind me and over the last year they had a campaign called as one and that
4:13 pm
is very much what humza yousaf is very much what humza yousaf is going have to do. first and foremost over the coming and we'll find out tomorrow is made first minister. well if we go. all right. look, tony, thank you very much. tony maguire of that gb news is scotland. reporter so humza yousaf is rather happy about the whole thing. i've been asking you think. gb asking you what you think. gb views good duke. miller's it's views a good duke. miller's it's fair say in the inbox. fair to say in the inbox. although the points of although the only points of jubilation all lot of jubilation all that a lot of people think that it might be the end the snp in them for independence. going independence. i am going to visit you tweets from some visit you some tweets from some political hits now their political big hits now their reaction to it, we've the reaction to it, we've got the outgoing snp nicola outgoing snp leader nicola sturgeon giving her sturgeon so already giving her backing to her replacement. she tweeted, i pay tribute to all three candidates for the snp for raising rising story to the challenge. most all, i congratulate humza yousaf and wish him every he will wish him every success he will be an outstanding leader and first minister and i could not be him succeed me now. be to have him succeed me now. the scottish leader anas sarwar who many it's happy to be the big winner out of all of this
4:14 pm
actually humza yousaf might have won the race to be the snp leader. it's questionable really whether big it is indeed whether the big it is indeed labour and he's congratulated yousaf, but he went on to say the use of his taking over a chaotic divided party. this out of touch an ounce ideas and i can't help but feel he's about that. the theory is that plenty of will switch their of people will now switch their allegiance the snp to allegiance from the snp to the labour party. labour could pick up a lot north of the up a lot of seats north of the border and that could lead to keir starmer wondering into downing street to the next general election. still time to go and this man douglas go though and this man douglas ross will be doing his best to stave north of the stave a red wall north of the border. the leader of the scottish conservatives his scottish conservatives added his congratulations, but said that his concerns about use his party had concerns about use of the ability to deliver for the people of scotland. those concerns centre around humza yousaf his track record when of course he was transport minister and was driving manx and was known driving his manx car without and his record as or lack of record, i should say, is health minister and a few of the bits and bobs as well, some personal issues when it comes to
4:15 pm
attempting to essentially question whether officer is question whether one officer is child allowed to a nursery child allowed to enter a nursery school or not allowed to enter a nursery school because of their race. turned there race. it turned out that there was do with that. was nothing to do with that. that all a bit. if that was all a little bit. if you ask me, but your views you ask me, but get your views coming it is a big coming in because it is a big day in scottish politics i think a sense that is the end of an era and the start of a new one. what will it really mean for scottish independence and the ballot next election? ballot box in the next election? it day here in it is significant day here in westminster where employees are debating migration debating the illegal migration bill. now it was thought that rishi was facing biggest rishi sunak was facing biggest rebellion prime rebellion since he became prime minister, there's update minister, but there's an update on in on that coming up in just a moment. earlier senator moment. earlier today, senator suella braverman , well, they suella braverman, well, they were so tory employees were heckled, so tory employees were heckled, so tory employees were basically saying , don't were basically saying, don't think this bill goes far enough. some we don't go far some tory said, we don't go far enough. it to be tougher enough. we want it to be tougher on migration. that's why on illegal migration. that's why the rebellion was the point of rebellion was supposed but then supposed to be coming. but then rishi and so other went for a little stroll around chelmsford earlier different earlier and got a very different take a very shouty woman . take from a very shouty woman.
4:16 pm
but right, quite . what yeah. so but right, quite. what yeah. so we don't want you here. we want you to margaret into the country was the gist that. i'm joined now by our political reporter catherine forster because we thank you very much . at top thank you very much. at the top of hour had the problem of the hour we had the problem in commons talking in the commons talking about crime and order crime, behaviour, law and order . there is another big development taking place. the commons we hope, which is commons later, we hope, which is about the illegal migration bill just through what the point just run through what the point contention because we contention is here because we were was going to be were thinking was going to be a big rebellion. we were up to 50 or maybe even 60 conservative mps were said to be thinking about pushing to essentially cut out the role of the courts and. they seem to have been talked down for the time being by the prime minister and his aides on the grounds that they run the risk, if they do that, of scuppering whole bill, because after it's gone through the commons, it's going to have a
4:17 pm
really rough time in the house of lords anyway . lots of people of lords anyway. lots of people think that it's tough already and basically the message is don't rock the boat at the moment let's get through. i think the feeling is the government think tough enough and did rishi sunak saying it's and did rishi sunak saying it's a tough piece of legislation the likes of which we've never seen. they believe that this will have the impact that they want without pressing that nuclear opfion without pressing that nuclear option of basically ignoring the echr and they might have to revisit that. of course if the existing legislation doesn't have the desire the facts we which to see because the noises earlier with there's suella braverman itself so the actual home secretary might be one thing more from this and might have been in of the people rebelling. yes reports so well over suella braverman was actively in this because she actually personally wanted it toughened up herself. of course that's been completely denied .
4:18 pm
that's been completely denied. who knows? but messaging now is that no they're not going to ignore the courts. and of course there's plenty of conservative mp on the left of the party that own about this bill, either because they think it's too tough. so they wanting these safe, legal routes to be brought in. now, again saying we do want bnng in. now, again saying we do want bring those routes in, but we need to get the numbers down first. so we're going to have two days of debate on this anyway and then a vote just from me through how we're supposed to go. so it's a committee stage now . have the first and second now. have the first and second reading the government of rush ing this through two days of debates , supposedly. but it's debates, supposedly. but it's now, what, 4:00 in the afternoon, monday . and they afternoon, monday. and they haven't even started . but haven't even started. but sometime today and then tomorrow .then sometime today and then tomorrow . then it potentially has its third reading and then it will go to the house of lords. so the government are desperate to rush this through, to get it onto statute books a.s.a.p. so that
4:19 pm
they can start. they hope putting people on flights and sending them to rwanda . thank sending them to rwanda. thank you very, very much. catherine forster , our political reporter forster, our political reporter , just bringing you up to date. like i've said, been saying to as and when we get to this discussion and debate , the house discussion and debate, the house of commons will be taking some of commons will be taking some of hits as that's what of the big hits as that's what they've got to say. but i'm joined by a big hitter now right here show, conservative here on the show, conservative mp mckinley mp craig mckinley joins me. craig, thank very craig, look, thank you very much. i've got to be honest with you, i think a lot of people like me will be scratching their heads wondering how on earth heads and wondering how on earth without heads and wondering how on earth with
4:20 pm
the salvation to everything. it didn't work because we have this knotty problem of the echr as part of the ladder of judicial in trying to manage borders, an immigration system . now the immigration system. now the amendments that are going to what if you call them the trouble makers or the good gardens. i'm probably part the well whichever side you think i'm on i support those amendments because we need to our legislation that we agree with by this parliament by the majority people in this country. and if the eci are being troublesome that endeavour to let us not save lives by stopping this illegal crossings then that . what oh oh think we then that. what oh oh think we might lost track that that's a real shame we have to even get craig back on because as far as i understand, they're going to kind of ignore a of these kind of ignore a lot of these amendments anyway, which just leave up to wondering what on leave me up to wondering what on earth on when comes earth is going on when comes to the they can actually the idea that they can actually manage run roughshod over the manage to run roughshod over the echr what's point echr what's the key point difference was
4:21 pm
difference there? that was conservative mackinlay conservative mp craig mackinlay who is back? yes, back by popular demand. craig. yes, good stuff. and craig, sorry. what, what's changed and what's changed. craig i don't understand how the pieces of legislation work and there was a not a fly in the ointment when it's come to the echr. but this one is different . why? well, one is different. why? well, i mean, we're hoping it's going to be different because the duty on the home secretary is different the home secretary is different the duty under this legislation unamended the government's before any other amendments are considered is that the home secretary has a duty to deport . secretary has a duty to deport. thatis secretary has a duty to deport. that is the primary duty and there has to be a good reason if it's the other way round. so we're not unrelated degreed different place for where we've currently been without borders , currently been without borders, immigration rules and legislate an up to now so that's very very different now what is very in scope here is this rather peculiar rule 39 procedure though i discussed before where
4:22 pm
we apply a lot of them britain applies% of those rules 39 judgements which are done by solo judge name unknown late at night in in strasbourg, just based on paper, no oral hearing and yet we comply with 80% of those judgement is germany only 60% or spain only 40. so it seems to me there's fair bit of discretion and as how much these ought to be as. can i just add to that surely that i'm reading between the lines is what your what your be saying to me is that you've got assurances from your home secretary that she's going to ignore. well no, i've not had a 1 to 1 with her today, so i don't know what our thinking is today, but i have been discussing with some of those who put the amendments that i have signed and everybody is feeling a fairly i say buoyant things are going to move in the right direction because, i mean, this isn't about using , i mean, this isn't about using, say, in the scheme . say, the right in the scheme. this is about a deterrent effect
4:23 pm
. people not take the . so people will not take the movement off the french beach , movement off the french beach, there's an issue in itself . movement off the french beach, there's an issue in itself. i call the beaches being properly patrolled and in france. but this is meant be a deterrent effect stop people from even effect to stop people from even thinking coming here in the thinking of coming here in the first place. because your processing be rapid. and one of those choices may be you being transported to rwanda to pursue claim there. now is meant to have a deterrent effect to stop from even considering spending the money, risking their lives and making a trade is more lucrative in the drugs trade . lucrative in the drugs trade. thatis lucrative in the drugs trade. that is fundamentally what this is all about . and we you know, is all about. and we you know, we obviously worry because we've been here willie then been here before, willie then putits been here before, willie then put its boots in and say , oh, put its boots in and say, oh, yes, all very well. you've got probably legislation supported yes, all very well. you've got proyourl legislation supported yes, all very well. you've got proyour supported n supported yes, all very well. you've got proyour supported by upported yes, all very well. you've got proyour supported by mpsrted yes, all very well. you've got proyour supported by mps , ed yes, all very well. you've got proyour supported by mps , but we by your supported by mps, but we know better. thanks very much . know better. thanks very much. thatis know better. thanks very much. that is the dynamic of the issue we've been facing. can you just clear something up for me, craig, because i think we are getting a bit of mixed messaging over this depending who we over this depending on who we talked a guys
4:24 pm
talked to a year guys still thinking forward an thinking of putting forward an amendment mean that amendment that would mean that we just didn't really listen to the or are you to the echr or are you willing to not amendment not put that amendment forward and trust what the and just go off trust what the home secretary is saying to home secretary is saying just to get this bill through as quickly as possible? well, there's always parliamentary going here. of you've the discretion of course, you've the discretion of speaker as to whether of the speaker as to whether various amendments, whether everything's said bad or indifferent, whoever signs them are always things that are a good one or his word, but up to the speaker to actually accept amendment as being in scope and relevance. a lot of relevance. so a lot of discretion there . and then then discretion there. and then then you've got the lead member who's actually put forward seeking actually put it forward seeking signatures like mine on it to actually then push it at the appropriate time if been accepted by the speaker. so there's a few ifs and buts on there's a few ifs and buts on the way . but there's a few ifs and buts on the way. but as you there's a few ifs and buts on the way . but as you know, the the way. but as you know, the parliamentary games are if you've heard enough from the minister that the ambitions of amendment is trying to solve , amendment is trying to solve, then it may not be pushed. i
4:25 pm
mean, that's regular practise, whether in the week, but this is the rebellion, isn't it? this is this is this is where the rebellion will be. it's all not his on the issue of the echr, one would imagine the speaker would have to call it because there is a direct relevance to it. mean, is the fundamental it. i mean, is the fundamental issue underpins issue that underpins all of this. you telling me that this. so are you telling me that realistically the realistically you expect the speaker call because speaker to call it because behind the scenes that are aware the essentially you guys have withdrawn going to withdrawn it and you're going to wave as no, wave it through as is. no, i don't i know about any of don't i don't know about any of those it may those shenanigans. it may not gone on. i actually think the speaker does. do things on their own don't listen own volition. they don't listen to managers. but you to party managers. but you imagine that a speaker. i know what i would do if i was a speaker i would be looking for vaguely troublesome amendment . vaguely troublesome amendment. we can have a lively debate in the house, but i'm not entirely sure that's way that it works . sure that's way that it works. but yeah, the whys and wherefores and the discretion of a speaker is they stuff some magic and majesty that is beyond what i fully understand, shall we say, patrick okay. all right
4:26 pm
. just very finally, very quickly , do you in your quickly, do you in your estimate, do you expect this to go through ? it is without any go through? it is without any massive backlash, the backbenchers, because it does appear that some voodoo magic has taken place on the ea gossip came to go off a lot of trust there are not nor are too many amendments. do you realistically think that's going think that that's what's going to happen? well, i think the bill, as it stands got bill, as it stands has got some great we've great strengths, we've identified some weaknesses it that benefit from from that would benefit from from some strengthening optic clearly on the role of the echr . now i'm on the role of the echr. now i'm sure that if we do not hear enough on what we're going to do about the echr, then these amendments will pushed. but i mean, there's no guarantee even then that they will go through parliament, obviously, because labour will vote against them, because it seems to me they want open borders and. we know that. so that for a long so we've been that for a long time. we've whether time. whatever we've whether it's whatever policy it's rwanda, whatever policy strengthening and returns, policies that always against it. so we can't rely on labour to
4:27 pm
have any common on matters relating to the uk. i think we do know that suella braverman appears is pretty keen on getting out the echr and if this is not strong enough on that, what do you expect her to resign overit what do you expect her to resign over it ? no, no, we're nowhere over it? no, no, we're nowhere near that sort of territory when we discuss this before. how is it in the uk we accept 76% of all africans for asylum and yet the eu average is 16. the 1951 convention the same echr ? convention the same echr? there's something else going on here and i think there is a degree of a different interpretation by a judicial system from that that goes on in spain and germany and elsewhere . but we have got some, i think the positivity thus far on the albanian issue the albanian prime minister was over the pm just last week and i do understand the numbers of albanians on boats has literally fallen off cliff so far this year on the back those deals craig much appreciated as ever thank you very very much for well it's always clearing things up i think as conservative mp
4:28 pm
craig mckinley there. well between the lines ladies and gentlemen . well keen to know gentlemen. well be keen to know what made it out. i think it what you made it out. i think it does appear as though there's been some strong words, been some quite strong words, the anticipating the scenes, but not anticipating a tory a massive backbench tory rebellion and if the rebellion on this. and if the noises correct tonight feel noises are correct tonight feel as we're going to as though that we're going to circumvent echr going circumvent the echr either going to and deportations off to ignore and deportations off the ground and that appears be the ground and that appears be the political will and if found some kind of legal way of some kind of clever legal way of doing then it appear to me doing that then it appear to me that this is just going to get way what make of way through. what do you make of it? gbviews@gbnews.uk i know a lot people will feel that lot of people will feel that they've burned before. if there's trust involved here, they been they feel like they've been burned. but we're moving on because harry court because prince harry is in court today. for that. he's today. no, not for that. he's suing publisher the suing the publisher of, the daily patrick christys daily mail. i'm patrick christys to more

4:36 pm
you. it appears as though the police moving on the left hand side, it looks as though he's leaving from a side entrance is different to the way he entered the court this morning . 930 the court this morning. 930 stepped out a london black cab flanked by security and made his way through the front entrance , way through the front entrance, the royal courts of justice, he's clearly a man that wants to be seen. we're not even in a trial of this case. we only in the preliminary hearings , we the preliminary hearings, we were told last night that none of the claimants would be appearing in court today. we were told it would simply be written submissions, the claimants. but it's been a total surprise to see prince not only in the uk but here at the royal courts of justice he sat in the courtroom for the entire day and at lunchtime he was joined by elton john, who came through the side entrance and prince harry sat at the back of the courtroom. he a black notepad in front of him . and he was front of him. and he was listening very intently to submissions from barristers on both sides. and he made notes as
4:37 pm
he went. the actress said . frost he went. the actress said. frost was sat two seats along from him just some of the high profile in this case so clearly patrick. optics are very important to these claimants. they did not have to be here today, but they wanted to be because they want it. they want this case to go to a full trial . so what was said a full trial. so what was said today ? well, they are accusing today? well, they are accusing associate newspapers ltd. they are the publishers of the daily mail. the mail on sunday mail online of my major breaches of privacy , including alleged privacy, including alleged illegal information gathering. they speak about phone tapping private investigators allegedly hiding microphones in their phonesin hiding microphones in their phones in their homes. in their cars.in phones in their homes. in their cars. in written submission , we cars. in written submission, we heard today how the actress lives had her phone tapped and a microphone was also put in hugh grant's car . microphone was also put in hugh grant's car. so those are just
4:38 pm
some of the things that were already hearing in court and also allegations of individuals being impersonated in order to obtain a hospital records also from private clinics as well. and the of bank accounts and bank statements through illicit means and minute while the barrister who is representing prince and sir elton john and the like said that these allegations from a period from 1993 to 2011 and even all the way up to 18 as this is certainly something that's been on for a long time, he says that all seven claimants have been victims of illegal acts. i have just been told that prince harry has just left the court actually via a side . just to bring that via a side. just to bring that to you . he's headed in that to you. he's headed in that direction there you go. so he didn't he decided not come through the front door. didn't he decided not come through the front door . the through the front door. the royal courts of justice , despite royal courts of justice, despite deciding to enter in that way this morning, which is quite an interesting choice, isn't it?
4:39 pm
where was i now? coming back to the oh associate newspapers. they have strongly denied any of these allegations. they describe them as smears and they claim that this legal action being taken by the claimants and their lawyers, a fishing expedition . lawyers, a fishing expedition. they also claim that it is too to make these sorts of claims. now, considering some of the articles in question 30 years old, they use the word stale said that this case needs to be thrown out. but i think it's clear to see patrick that with prince harry, i'm sir elton john, and sadly for us all in the courtroom today, they want to see this case go to a full trial. wow. ali, thank you very very much, lou costello. there are national reports are just outside the courts bringing latest. left latest. prince harry has left the and gentlemen, but the building and gentlemen, but through access , not through the side access, not through the side access, not through the side access, not through the main entrance, of course strolled through, course that he strolled through, bumping a photographer bumping into a photographer as he did . what do you make of he did. what do you make of that? interesting, isn't so he did. what do you make of thaweren'testing,isn't so he did. what do you make of thaweren't expectingt so he did. what do you make of thaweren't expecting him. so he did. what do you make of thaweren't expecting him. we we weren't expecting him. we weren't expecting we weren't expecting elton john. we weren't expecting elton john. we weren't expecting elton john. we weren't expecting couple of
4:40 pm
weren't expecting a couple of other high profile people to actually court. today the actually be court. today is the preliminary clearly preliminary hearing clearly trying on to trying to put pressure on to make that this does make sure that this does actually go full hearing so actually go to a full hearing so that we go gb views gb news, don't you from interesting as well. you arrived in a black car of massive security concerns. really harry, but now we get a survivor, though , on a survivor survivor, though, on a survivor from the grooming from one of the grooming gang scandals secured a landmark scandals has secured a landmark victory, suing . her for victory, suing. her for £425,000. gb news spoke with les , who hopes that her case will open the door. more survivors to fight for their own justice. look, this is important here at gb news we've been desperately trying to continue to highlight the grooming gang issues that are taking place right . the are taking place right. the country. massive country. massive, massive historical injustices that and they continue this day make no mistake about it but here's the latest one because charlie peters has filed this report for us. i've 20 years after enduring a horrifying ordeal grooming gang survivor liz finally feels
4:41 pm
that she has justice for the abuse she suffered in 2018. her abuser ashkan boston was jailed for nine years after he raped twice in a flat in rotherham between 2002 and 2004. liz was , between 2002 and 2004. liz was, groomed by a woman and kept in her flat where she was abused . her flat where she was abused. but after boston was finally in 2018 for two of the rapes that she suffered, liz felt that he was not sufficiently punished. it went off . and for as for us, it went off. and for as for us, what i've got to take that is the system doesn't really benefit victims anywhere. boston was released from prison last year , having served just half of year, having served just half of his sentence and being moved to an open prison without liz being informed . but after all of these informed. but after all of these failures , liz has secured a failures, liz has secured a landmark legal victory with the high court's a massive £425,000 in damages after she took civil action against boston for the crimes he was found guilty of in
4:42 pm
2018. i hope that people say is a landmark case, not the floodgates have just opened . and floodgates have just opened. and ihope floodgates have just opened. and i hope that it brings it brings up to the survivors but also hope that perpetrators that commit these crimes historically but present know that if justice going to be as easy as what they're going to get, does it give you hope that even if the criminal justice system fails, survivors fight for survivors can fight for themselves to get the justice they deserve. yet i think it's imperative and it's been a long process is being taught the way i see. and i do hope that most can come forward and bring their perpetrators to justice. what do you think? ask our feels like today. i or it feels like i have done for the last 22 years and i hope that this has led a very, very expensive life year. elizabeth is one of thousands of britons, many grooming gang
4:43 pm
victims, but many as though the punishments that perpetrate this received were insufficient . received were insufficient. elizabeth's lawyer now believes that with this landmark ruling, more punishments will finally arrive liz's lawyer, robyn tilbrook, taken her case to create a new legal precedent for grooming gang survivors. i think we've got an icebreaker here where people can see what can be done. where people can see what can be done . and hopefully many others done. and hopefully many others will follow. they've been failed. certainly by the almost the entire , you know, at last the entire, you know, at last there is an opportunity to get some some real justice tilbrook hopes that this icebreaker case will lead to new opportunities for survivors to take control and seek justice. and i hope it will give them some closure on what happened at last. we've got an opportunity for individuals get some justice. this has broken the ice it shows the path to follow and we've now got a clear way of achieving justice for these girls we've all been let down you know so we have a
4:44 pm
process of being the abuse trial to grow. you know , average to grow. you know, average psychological damage to then not being able to access the services that we need because the funding is not there it's consistently failure . i just consistently failure. i just want to do something for every single survivor that suffered in this in this country. it's neven this in this country. it's never, ever been money for me. it's about and basically being able to take control back and because time after we see this pattern of the survivors come last, the perpetrators converge . so i'm hoping that this case does bring that and that they actually if throughout committing crimes against no victims and no children, that this they just think, well that could be me . right. well, look could be me. right. well, look yes that was an exclusive brought you by charlie peters, who joins me. right in the studio. charlie, why is this
4:45 pm
such a landmark ruling for the victims of grooming gangs? well, it's the first of its kind. it allows them, as liz said, in that report, they're the last survivors to take justice into their own hands. survivors to take justice into their own hands . as you know, so their own hands. as you know, so many of these survivors have let down by the authorities for decades liz herself , abuse decades liz herself, abuse happened to her 20 years ago. and in that period it took until 2018 for her perpetrator to finally arrested . and what finally be arrested. and what was punishment that mr. was the punishment that mr. boston years in boston received, nine years in prison, which two were sent in a closed prison? he's been two years an prison. yeah years in an open prison. yeah and when was moved to prison, and when he was moved to prison, she informed out for she wasn't even informed out for in and i think liz like many many other survivors felt that this was insufficient and the landmark ruling in an icebreaker test case she gathered a legal team who took to the civil courts to try and achieve justice. and this £425,000 legal judgement of damages will essentially leave penniless and leave a punishment that he never otherwise. well, this is the thing, because, look, we all know it when we talk about it
4:46 pm
loads here gb news about victims not the courts not justice through the courts for star, people being allowed for a star, people being allowed back their bumping into back into their bumping into their at the their perpetrators at the shelters, which is absolutely disgusting, terrible people fighting deportation. but one way nothing will ever be able to make up some of the damage that's been done to them. but one way of potentially getting some form of justice is through financial. how will she this money this guy? well, the money from this guy? well, the team very carefully put it in anonymity order to liz's anonymity order to protect liz's identity , but they also put in a identity, but they also put in a freezing order boston's freezing order on boston's assets. of these assets. many of these perpetrators are extremely rich. they several businesses they have several businesses indeed abuse is a lucrative business, but now they can freeze all of his assets, as they have done for two years. so it's almost certain he'll have to sell his to, home pay these damages, leaving penniless. damages, leaving him penniless. and have we often noted and also we have we often noted in that abuse is in these cases that abuse is they endure the very short sentences they often returns to community from where they bump into the survivors they abused into the survivors they abused in this situation may have to
4:47 pm
sell their home will almost certainly have to move and now there are thousands of other survivors. so hope we're seeing this thinking this story today and thinking i could same. is could do the same. this is absolutely fascinating. i make no about suggest no mistake about it. i suggest this something a huge this is something that is a huge case is going to be i think case and is going to be i think heanng case and is going to be i think hearing a lot more about in the months years to come as months and years to come as victims of grooming which victims of grooming gangs which are taking and have taken place up and down the country will now thinking, if i can't get justice, the courts, if i don't feel secure and safe because this person is back out about in my community what they can essentially financially essentially do is financially really in those sick people who ruin their lives as well. look, charlie, would have leave it charlie, would have to leave it there, but you. great there, but thank you. great stuff. the gb news stuff. peters the gb news is documentary filmmaker with another exclusive grooming documentary filmmaker with anothdisgraced/e grooming documentary filmmaker with anothdisgraced been grooming documentary filmmaker with anothdisgraced been rippingig gang disgraced been ripping across this country. we will not let drop. thank you very let it drop. thank you very much, charlie. ever coming up. should police be given more powers clamp down begging? powers to clamp down on begging? it's this it's a controversial one. this is rishi sunak's new is part of rishi sunak's new plan tackle behaviour. some plan to tackle behaviour. some highlights on that, though, mean if someone graffitied your wall they essentially
4:48 pm
they could essentially be made to jacket. that to wear high viz jacket. that might say i'm criminal might as well say i'm criminal and then they have to clean it off. what do you make it up? i'm

4:51 pm
gb news. i okay. so there were loads of different elements. rishi sunak's latest attempt to down on. well, frankly, quite level crime. but i won't give you the most controversial bit was about new beggars as part of his on anti—social behaviour. so will receive a series of new to move on beggars who were causing pubuc on beggars who were causing public distress, such as those who block shop doorways or ask for money at cash points . they for money at cash points. they will also be encouraged to make use of local accommodation of mental health services. let me now i've got in the studio rise from broadcaster david oldroyd bolt and down the line i have got the founder of raise the roof homeless project is carl simpson. great to have both of you.thank simpson. great to have both of you. thank you very much. and look, david, i'll start you. i understand concept understand that your concept guidance idea to guidance rishi sunak's idea to clamp on this is because
4:52 pm
clamp down on this is because well of why he's well i'm sceptical of why he's doing it because part of the police sentencing and crime bill last year got rid of the vagrant vagrancy act 1824 which criminalised begging . so it just criminalised begging. so it just seems like he's got rid one thing to bring it back in a different guise and i think it's a rather tawdry ruse try to a rather tawdry ruse to try to make who are worried make people who are worried about law order worried about law and order who worried about law and order who worried about think that the about anti—social think that the government's doing something when doing when in fact it's doing absolutely if they were absolutely nothing. if they were going to criminalise begging in this why they just stick this way, why they just stick with legislation was already with the legislation was already on the statute book amend it if necessary, it was amended. necessary, as it was amended. many 200 year many times in its 200 year history use it just to history and use it just to clarify quickly. david so you're not actually dead against the idea perspective idea from, a moral perspective of moving on beggars? well, no, i think that's perfectly reasonable. as you know, reasonable. as long as you know, these in distress, these are obviously in distress, they offered the help they should be offered the help that exists that society that exists that civil society can but can provide them with. but i think a totally yet, again, think it's a totally yet, again, totally unnecessary piece of legislation. i call who is the founder of the raise the roof project, your views on project, just your views on this. assuming be
4:53 pm
this. and assuming you may be coming more of a moral coming it from more of a moral standpoint. oh, you don't think is right what dehumanise in is right to what dehumanise in this if that's what it is this way if that's what it is what exactly is several different types of factors people compare the survival people compare the survival people a lot people take addictions and when i feel that this is just a bold move and the problem from one place to another people that it should we'll try and get substance from what my and if it's not making it look as if another option it's not a simple answer no just yeah i'll go i'll go back to you couch a slight issue with the south napa and david on this do you do you think that realistically what this is now is just a smoke screen the tories. because a lot of people will be. well, what about rapes, murders, crimes, murders, knife crimes, burglaries, you burglaries, etc. you know, realistically, i don't realistically, yeah, i don't like the idea that my house might be graffitied, but can you do about the more do something about the more serious? well, quite a burglary and car theft of pretty much uninvestigated. just uninvestigated. no and, it just
4:54 pm
seems up seems like they keep coming up with headline ideas that don't the root causes things. i totally of totally agree with you of i guess forgive me i forgot your name. so many name. there are so many different causes which need to be that are civil be looked into that are civil institutions that this. institutions that can do this. there that should institutions that can do this. th
4:55 pm
needs to be more help the people addiction food places like hostels and things like that . i hostels and things like that. i don't think this movement becomes an answer. don't think this movement becomes an answer . okay. all becomes an answer. okay. all right. look, both thank you very much. it was great stuff david will about that rise from will do about that rise from broadcast course founder broadcast and of course founder of raise the roof homeless project simpson and project called simpson and reacting rishi sunak latest reacting to rishi sunak latest anti—social behaviour rules. now i'm just going to ask you to do something this now because it's about all rivers cow sized and they're being damaged rules they're being damaged by rules sewage pumped out an sewage is being pumped out at an astonishing . so the number astonishing rate. so the number has drastically in comparison to the year before . but new data the year before. but new data from the environment agency shows that raw sewage dumped into our rivers 300,000 thousand times last year. that's 800 times last year. that's 800 times a day. but we don't really the true amount says there's hundreds of locations which are monitored and. it mostly happens when there's a storm and, there's too much water in the systems. so it is staggering stuff. joining me now is john pascoe and walpole who from pascoe and walpole who is from we own now look sorry about this
4:56 pm
is going to be a bit short sweet but yeah i mean people will disgusted by the amount of raw sewage pumped into sewage being pumped into our waterways. absolutely and waterways. well absolutely and we are all we all know why this is this is happening because the private companies have failed over last 25, 30 years of the privatisation of our water system to invest in the infrastructure, our infrastructure, our infrastructure broken because private companies taken out £72 billion in profits since then haven't invested in the system . haven't invested in the system. and that's why this is happening. this doesn't have to happen. if we took the system back into public control and ownership. okay, but but what could happen in the short term without a wholesale company be fined for this stuff? i mean, what happens know, do i look at a river and see this? i let a raw sewage into it. can i just talk about company and find them to high heaven so the companies currently already being fined in effect because so often effect because they are so often fine, and, they are fine, so little and, they are making huge profits . the fines making huge profits. the fines are often chalked up as business
4:57 pm
expenses , whereas i think the expenses, whereas i think the real solution to this problem is striking at the heart of the problem, which is the profit making motive at the heart of it. that's why it's really important for the government to step in take these companies step in and take these companies back into ownership. back into public ownership. yeah, i, i'm not normally all for nationalisation of things, but tell me what i am dead against and that is raw being pumped into our rivers and our oceans. i mean maybe this is oceans. so i mean maybe this is an actually i would be in an area actually i would be in favour joe thank, you favour of it. joe thank, you very much, john bosco will buy that it we'll talk that from we own it we'll talk again soon when we've got a bit more time on fran, thank you very, right now. that's very, very right now. that's it for hour. the scottish for this hour. but the scottish national a new that national party has a new that leader yousaf he leader is humza yousaf and he says the luckiest man in says he's the luckiest man in the world to replacing nicola the world to be replacing nicola sturgeon. i don't hate filled and a big day in the and it's a big day in the commons where the illegal migration being debated. migration bill is being debated. i you that live. i will take you to that live. going fiery debate and going to be fiery debate and discussion on patrick christys going to be fiery debate and disc this»n on patrick christys going to be fiery debate and

5:09 pm
by a very angry lady on a visit to chelmsford demanding that they migrants into the country . they migrants into the country. if this country would show what. well i am joined now by a political reporter , catherine political reporter, catherine foster. catherine you very much so. we were expecting that be a day of rebellion. we were expecting it's a kick right off on a day of amendments i front and centre including potentially opposition actual home opposition from the actual home secretary's suella braverman. it is debated in the house of is being debated in the house of commons now. hopefully we're going some of that going to bring you some of that shortly, petered shortly, but it's kind petered out little bit. has it all out a little bit. has it all seems to have calmed down? first of they've only just of all, they've only just started debating it they'll started debating it now. they'll be called be debating. it's called committee of . the whole committee of. the whole houses at committee stage today and tomorrow. be the third tomorrow. that'll be the third reading. then it goes the reading. then it goes to the lords. but yes, we were hearing as late as overnight and this morning there going to be morning there was going to be this rebellion of 50, 60 this big rebellion of 50, 60 conservative they it
5:10 pm
conservative mps and they it toughening up. it's not tough . toughening up. it's not tough. they said . but now it seems they they said. but now it seems they have been given reassurances mean you heard craig mckinley. yeah saying you know they've beenin yeah saying you know they've been in by assurances the government will give proper consideration all concerns and the government's basically is as it stands the legislation is rishi sunak says tough piece of legislation the likes of which we've never seen. the government believes it's strong enough that they will be able to do what they will be able to do what they want to do, deport people to amanda or elsewhere . make it to amanda or elsewhere. make it that if you come cannot stay and you will never be able to come back without it changing this legislation there seems to be it's quite opaque some suggestion that the echr won't rule against that they won't block the government doing this. yeah and the potential that if they do the government might
5:11 pm
just disregard it. i craig mckinlay was saying other countries quite often these come down well i'm reading between the lines that's what i got for people who have just joined is i didn't interview with craig mckinlay conservative mp be able to that on twitter online to see that on twitter online etc. really going to drill etc. i was really going to drill down with what changed? down with craig. what changed? so why have the supposed tory rebels, as we understand it decided to fall in line behind illegal migration bill there were supposed members that wanted to get guarantee ease about us not to the echr migrant hotels about hotels being used. and from what we understand it looks as though that's changed and that they're not going to rebel against this, which implies to me that kind of implies to me that some kind of deal done with them. i deal have done with them. i thought he was evasive. catherine it came to this. he didn't seem to didn't really seem to want to pinned it appears to me as pinned down. it appears to me as though just going though they're just going off. trust that suella braverman has just said to them. look, we are going sure that we going to make sure that we ignore echr reading between ignore the echr reading between the what i got out the lines. that's what i got out of it seem that way. of of it. it does seem that way. of course. know private
5:12 pm
course. don't know what private assurances been given assurances may have been given behind the scenes. but third delay. the other thing is that they've apparently been told that if you push this now , you that if you push this now, you could risk scuppering the whole thing because it's already going to have a really rough ride in the lords. so basically the house of lords. so basically the house of lords. so basically the is don't make this the message is don't make this any worse because. you could bnng any worse because. you could bring whole thing falling bring the whole thing falling down. just and see down. so let's just wait and see so we'll see. i mean , they are so we'll see. i mean, they are rushing it through parliament at paceit rushing it through parliament at pace it be on the statute books . you know, by the end of the summer and people could be sent to rwanda. and the theory is as soon as they start sending those planes of people that people coming across decide, well, actually, i'd rather stay in france, i don't want to go to rwanda. and that that will a massive impact on you, catherine thank you very, very much, catherine forster, our political reporter. i said, it is reporter. like i said, it is currently being discussed, the house commons. hopefully house of commons. so hopefully we see hear some of we can actually see hear some of that at some point soon. but joining me is political joining me now is political commentator who is
5:13 pm
commentator john oxley, who is down i believe. yes, down the line, i believe. yes, there john. thank there we go, john. right. thank you much. now, what do you you very much. now, what do you understand is taking place here? because thinking that understand is taking place here? bectgoing thinking that understand is taking place here? bectgoing to thinking that understand is taking place here? bectgoing to be thinking that understand is taking place here? bectgoing to be quite (ing that understand is taking place here? bectgoing to be quite a|g that understand is taking place here? bectgoing to be quite a big1at was going to be quite a big rebellion it looks as though they've line. well they've fallen in line. why well i it's of those things i mean, it's one of those things where it's hard know what was where it's hard to know what was said , the what was said inside, the room, what was said inside, the room, what was said meeting with the said inside the meeting with the rebels. clearly there's been rebels. but clearly there's been a good bit of parliamentary management from rishi sunak and his team to get these his whips team to get these rebels onside . they've made some rebels onside. they've made some assurances , but also potentially assurances, but also potentially maybe the rebels just didn't have numbers to force the government's hand that much you never quite know with things people say of, oh, 60 people are going to vote against. but it may well be when you get into that meeting and with the whips when it comes to actually voting entering government, people have , you know, phoned up , they've , you know, phoned up, they've been spoken to in the corridor and you only have 20 or 30 and suddenly you look a lot less of a threat and it's easier to buy you off as a group . indeed
5:14 pm
you off as a group. indeed gather it's easy maybe to buy off as a group, but one of the big concerns was that saw the problem on itself might not actually be wholeheartedly behind very bill that she's behind the very bill that she's now . well, yes, and that now pushing. well, yes, and that would be quite dramatic . and of would be quite dramatic. and of course, a member of the course, if a member of the government, you know, someone who a cabinet position vote who has a cabinet position vote against the government, then they'd expected resign. they'd be expected to resign. and have been huge and that would have been huge political for rishi political headache for rishi sunak. it would have been an open challenge from the right wing of the party and sort of saying, you're not tough enough on and it really throwing down the goal a illegal migrants it's very momentum outside of the eu and in further discussion the government work right well sorry you were interrupted by bill cash. that for some reason is of course one of the individuals he's been putting forward in a member of a sense you hope you can go back to bill cash in a moment or two. but you were saying as well, the problem it might not be self completely behind this legislation. it
5:15 pm
seems way. i all seems this way. i mean, all through hard times home secretary, she's been very hard line she wasn't a supporter rishi sunak bringing her back board was seen as a sort move towards the right of the party. certainly if she has leadership ambitions in the future, she's going want to be as tough possible on this. that's where she sees her support in the party coming from. but if she does go against her own her own legislation and vote against, she'd have to resign. so that would be a huge, huge move from . the home secretary against a sitting prime minister yes, indeed. all right. well thank you very much for joining us. we're going to be keeping people to date on that more and more throughout course this throughout the course of. this show, indeed those show, as indeed those discussions take place the discussions do take place in the house commons. that's john house of commons. that's john oxley, irish political oxley, the irish political commentator. oxley, the irish political coryeah,tator. oxley, the irish political coryeah, to>r. oxley, the irish political coryeah, to just realise that so yeah, to just realise that yes, there is currently discussions taking the discussions taking place in the commons this commons about whether not this illegal migration bill goes far enough, we're to north enough, but we're going to north of the border now and go to
5:16 pm
scotland because the snp have elected new leader that is elected a new leader and that is humza yusuf has humza yousaf. so yusuf has replaced nicholas, who resigned after eight years as scotland's first he won the first minister. he won the leadership contest kate leadership contest ahead of kate forbes and a lesser extent at regan as well, is scotland's regan as well, and is scotland's first leader from an ethnic minority background. me minority background. joining me now is honest mischievous is a columnist at the scotsman alastair stuff thank you very much. good about 50 to 40 8 to 7 figure again i thought we'd managed to park out in the wake of brexit but now is back to haunt us. no resounding victory but crucially a victory nonetheless. farms that use it a majority. yeah. i don't i don't think it's going to be a generation you know the low end on this farm when it comes to scottish as well as the generation between votes homes. the of this leadership the use of this leadership contest is very much a dramatic split down the lines the snp what's interesting about this is not so much the elevation of humza yousaf but as by how much kate forbes lost by kate forbes has been colloquially referred to as a tartan tory . she lost by
5:17 pm
to as a tartan tory. she lost by nearly 2000 votes, slightly over 2000 votes. she's got quite right wing credentials , she's right wing credentials, she's very pro—business. and the sort of ranks of the snp , her of ranks of the snp, her campaign is centred on doing things very . to nicola sturgeon things very. to nicola sturgeon where humza yousaf and his supporters have cried out this is the way i'm the continuity candidate . i'm the one that's candidate. i'm the one that's going to continue all the good stuff that's come before the issue . this elections shown issue. this elections have shown all that good stuff has been not as great as a lot of people would be presenting it in the snp. well this is serious questions . this is exactly why. questions. this is exactly why. let me exactly next question, let me exactly my next question, which what is the which is the what is the continuity here because as far as humza yousaf is concerned, people for people will be forgiven for thinking, continuity thinking, well, the continuity is transport is shocking as transport minister was found driving without so health minister , the without so health minister, the scottish nurses are saying that the nhs north of the border is absolutely crumbling and is going to fail. absolutely crumbling and is going to fail . transport going to fail. transport minister of course, like said to you before that actually yes. was driving without
5:18 pm
was found to be driving without insurance mean there's not a lot of stuff there for humza of great stuff there for humza yousaf to . on no, yousaf to cling to. on no, i think that there are other issues there as well. the ones you if this was a you mentioned, if this was a normal leadership election, you could away saying could probably get away saying i'm the one that's going to carry with the nice policies carry on with the nice policies of my predecessor . the issue is of my predecessor. the issue is that the snp and file organisation has come into question during this leadership election . peter murrell nicola election. peter murrell nicola sturgeon's husband notes, said the chief executive, former chief executive the snp had chief executive of the snp had sat down asked there had sat down asked if there had comms being a comms there being a raft, resignations, of it of a resignations, all of it of a party that is in decline. if humza yousaf had had a clear mandate, that is to say if he'd won the first round of the leadership election , his leadership election, his campaign and his elevation would be much easier to . i'm going to be much easier to. i'm going to continue the nice stuff, the good policies, the ones that have the vote winners for the snp. i'm that's not been the for . case he leads now a party that's very much divided and is to say that it was not divided as it was under nicola sturgeon
5:19 pm
this breakage this break—up of popularity as it were the snp in the popular mind has in the last five weeks. he has a big challenge ahead of them. what does this mean for scottish independence? i don't think going to be happening any time . going to be happening any time. thatis going to be happening any time. that is not to say it's going to disappear any time soon. humza serve as the continuity candidate is going to be talking about independence just as much his predecessors. but i've yet to see anything that is tantamount to a plan to achieve it. that was what forced nicola sturgeon's hand. that's what are from office ultimately and i think be think it's going to be an absolute around humza absolute anchor around humza yousaf started . yousaf before he gets started. is to say that maybe the is it fair to say that maybe the big this hour actually big one is this hour actually the labour party. i would agree with that it's showing that the snp do not have a stranglehold on politics when it comes to central west alternative anas sarwar who leads. the labour party has fighting back. party has been fighting back. he's been putting forward a raft of policies the of alternative policies to the snp he's been leading quite a strong direction as a vote for me, as a vote for something
5:20 pm
different. if you look at the snp you look at now 17 years snp and you look at now 17 years in government then they been struggling. they've been struggling. they've been struggling record to struggling with their record to still getting support the still be getting support in the polls. now that the polls. but i think now that the leadership nicola sturgeon has come an the absence of a big come an end the absence of a big beast is going to be in trouble and will see and labour will see a resurgence. yeah, i'll have to thank you very, very much. we'll and who is a columnist at and see who is a columnist at the scotsman right now. one of the big issues that did for nicholas was trans rights and the trans men and women's prisons, etc. and this, frankly, is an issue that's not going away any time soon. he was also further development in this was put forward. it emerged that katie forbes was against gay marriage. she said didn't she that she was being religious backgrounds and that that would have no impact in terms of their actual it's also actual policy. it's also interesting, isn't it, interesting, though, isn't it, that new leader of that yousaf so the new leader of the snp seems to be officially anointed as first minister wasn't that after the vote when it came to gay marriage. so he managed to essentially swerve.
5:21 pm
really. by gay rights really. i'm joined by gay rights activist malcolm clarke to give his take on this. malcolm, thank you very much. how do you feel today about gay rights north of the border knowing humza yousaf, the border knowing humza yousaf, the new leader just beat a woman who is dead against it and he didn't bother to turn up for the votes on it . well, i mean, votes on it. well, i mean, everybody can complained. everybody in the lgbt groups and so on complained about kate forbes . but i don't remember forbes. but i don't remember ever hearing that humza had gone to the mosque in glasgow and spoken in favour of gay rights. ihave spoken in favour of gay rights. i have never actually taken any position . he's never challenged position. he's never challenged any homophobia in the muslim community in, scotland. so i think he was and at least with kate forbes, you could say that she was upfront about the fact that she didn't with gay marriage. one of the things i think there's a problem in scotland and that's why the snp has championed a particular approach to politics where lgbt
5:22 pm
rights more really prominent and yet actually they don't read the policies that they put forward have not been signed by the gay community. they don't read represent the gay community. the only a tiny clique , very only a tiny clique, very connected politicians . you know, connected politicians. you know, the stonewall's of the world, the stonewall's of the world, the other lgbt groups , and it the other lgbt groups, and it suits them, but it doesn't necessarily advance gay people's interests . can i just necessarily advance gay people's interests. can i just ask necessarily advance gay people's interests . can i just ask you, interests. can i just ask you, do you feel bit used? do you think that the gay community and lgbt i hate to say this because it's all brexit into one with the same level of letters, isn't it? but there's radical different views and rights between the lgbt q plus whatever the heck it is. give me a c. do you feel a bit used by? some members of the queen's progressive progressive left, it's almost they're holding it's almost like they're holding you to go. look, i'm a nice you up to go. look, i'm a nice person. they didn't do much to that. well, it's not the only. i mean, i've written in the past a country, the guardian and malta really dysfunctional countries .
5:23 pm
really dysfunctional countries. they are run really badly . and they are run really badly. and yet the pioneer is of the latest iteration of lgbtq rights . and iteration of lgbtq rights. and in a funny way the snp is exactly like that. they can't run . they can't run elderly run run. they can't run elderly run a nation. but the way there's a big rainbow flag and so, you know, who knows the lgbtq+ acronym? i don't know what you mean . anyway, i'm absolutely mean. anyway, i'm absolutely worried what that plus might mean, but in terms of gay rights, yeah, a lot gay people feel that, you know, we've got our rights. we want them upheld, of course, but we don't we want nothing to do with ridiculous, like self i.d, which , you know like self i.d, which, you know the last thing the gay community is to be seen in war against 51% of the population. women and so there's more and more lesbians and gay people speaking against the sort of the more woke version of what's become known as lgbt two rights. i'm not i'm
5:24 pm
obviously not asking you to speak on behalf of all gay people, but do you think you would have rather have had a woman in jail who said, i, through religious grounds, oppose marriage, but i'm not to like actually impact the policy decisions i make no vote repeal of, say or a bloke who quite possibly has been very dishonest about his actual views about, well , i about his actual views about, well, i mean, i'm not a member of the assembly but i mean, i would have wanted to take forms because she signed it in the debates that she was competent that was going to run the economy she was and she wanted to she about creating jobs and then nobody thinks that a of could create any jobs outside the actual domain of the snp government . you know they're on government. you know they're on a hiding to nothing. the guy seems to be pretty incompetent but and so, you know , gay people but and so, you know, gay people have to work for themselves . i have to work for themselves. i would i would have thought quite a lot of people would have a lot of gay people would have voted for a character rather incompetent one. mark, thank you very much. it's to great you on
5:25 pm
the show, actually. and hopefully we do talk and malcolm clarke as a gay rights activist, his view about what has been such ridiculously contentious such a ridiculously contentious issued the border. issued although the border. but there prince there we go right moving prince harry in court today. harry he's been in court today. no, no, no, for that. he's no, no, no, not for that. he's suing the publisher of the daily mail. give the latest mail. i'll give you the latest on very, very. i'm patrick on it. very, very. i'm patrick christys is

in the uk let alone going to be appearing court is actually joined by sir elton john at lunchtime who appeared threw aside entrance and just two seats away from prince harry in back of that courtroom was the actress sadie frost. as three of the high profile claimants that are bringing this case so clearly these claimants to these celebrities is everything and they want to be seen in that courtroom . these are only the courtroom. these are only the preliminary hearings. they don't need to be court. but it's quite clear that want this taken to a full trial. so what happens day while they are accusing the newspapers ltd of serious breach of privacy they are the publishers of 12 publications such as the mailonline this the sunday mail and the daily mail as . well, they accuse them as as. well, they accuse them as well of alleged illegal information gathering , like information gathering, like bugging of phones , microphones bugging of phones, microphones in cars in submissions today. actually we saw that liz hurley
5:31 pm

5:36 pm
okay welcome back. now a new report revealed , nearly 3000 report revealed, nearly 3000 children were strip searched in england and wales over a four year period. figures by the children's commissioner for england show more than half of the searches 2018 and 2022 took place without an appropriate aduu place without an appropriate adult confirmed to be present. and they also found that black children were to six times more likely to be searched than the overall child population. let me now to drill into these numbers and have a look at some the wider context. it's kind of headlines. of headlines. he's chair of harrogate's stop and harrogate's independent stop and monitoring ken lewis, monitoring group. ken lewis, thank face value. thank you very on at face value. this is deeply deeply disturbing stuff, just the racial stuff, not just the racial imagery, but just the fact that really kids are being strip searched an appropriate searched without an appropriate adult. initial take adult. what is your initial take it? what you to ms. that from the children as young as eight
5:37 pm
aduu the children as young as eight adult application going on there. i might on simply this is that it's concerning that many of these searches are done against the actual guidelines that supposed to be following. we've have enough adult that's there and some in some cases because we've got a case that we're dealing with now. in some cases, they even record the actual search. that's taken place. it's such it's going to take an participate grim really this to be honest with you oh , this to be honest with you oh, and well, i mean, it sounds like it probably should be really the idea of an eight year old could be strip searched by an adult without an appropriate adult present. well and whether an aduu present. well and whether an adult was present or not, i would question what circumstances would you need to search a young person child? now, to me, even you think that child has got a weapon , i'm on child has got a weapon, i'm on the door to secure ten. i've got one so i can detector that can
5:38 pm
actually pick up any kind of metal any kind of things of that nature . and if that's the nature. and if that's the situation, then you can actually drill it down to know where that would . i suppose the i suppose would. i suppose the i suppose argument would be that although the county lines gangs are packing kids of drugs and sending them on their way to deliver those drugs to, whoever. so with the view that those children not be stopped by police. and so what the police do in that situation. quite if you believe that that has got drugs on them , then what you can drugs on them, then what you can do is as again you can get parents in because you would need to go and strip search because that should be dealt with a public health issue rather a criminal element air because how could a child be back in in that instance that will bring an alarm to the police in that regards personally common need to prevail. and usually it's a smell of cannabis like child . q smell of cannabis like child. q it was the smell of cannabis
5:39 pm
that that led to her being strips and that was in the school. that wasn't the case. that was done inappropriately because it's the guidance system. if you're going to do a more intimate search as it did with her, it should be done in a police station, in a school police station, not in a school , back of the police , not in the back of the police van, not sweet shop. and an van, not a sweet shop. and an element of this which would get on which that apparently on to now which that apparently black children are six times more likely to this kind of search. now, does mean that there is institutional racism , there is institutional racism, there is institutional racism, the police, or does mean that for whatever reason it may be more black children getting involved with things like lines and gangs, etc. i could tell you as a person who's been campaigning and been affected by this for over the last 40 years, that the racial and if you back to all the reports that's going on there with those scum report with that with the macpherson report with that they report with the hmrc report they all allude to institutionalised
5:40 pm
racism . do they also say that racism. do they also say that there are more children of an ethnic background who for whatever reason happens to be gay? is it both ? what's going gay? is it both? what's going on? no, i would strongly disagree that there's more people the from the ethnic background. but the black community getting involved in drugs. i that there is a degree of grooming that is on that they become . a to people who are become. a to people who are trying to manipulate them in that. trying to manipulate them in that . but to say that now trying to manipulate them in that. but to say that now did not become perpetrators when they should treated in the manner that we treat any victim in and we should show empathy and we should put a wraparound system around these young people to find out what's going on and to find out what's going on and to and to change their their attitude behaviour . i think attitude behaviour. i think every single person watching or
5:41 pm
listening to this will complete will find shocking really the level of just children regardless of the race element, but just kids general are but just kids general who are strip searched . i think a lot of strip searched. i think a lot of people will be concerned about what kids might be what those kids might be carrying maybe a slightly carrying and maybe a slightly difficult job for police. is it a slightly fact, can in a slightly fact, though? can in a slightly fact, though? can in a lot of inner city areas have huge levels of multiculturalism , etc. and in a lot of those inner city areas, that's where you're going to see more drug deaung you're going to see more drug dealing just because of the nature of it. so could that really be slightly clouding the figures make it look as figures to make it look as though are going out though police are going out targeting that minority targeting people that minority backgrounds what i'm getting backgrounds is what i'm getting at. i seem to think that they are. i'll tell you what are. no, i'll tell you what i tell you what i see. mum for the yearin tell you what i see. mum for the year in decades and i see this similar sort of train that at least since of their stop and search is under the misuse of drugs , 90% of that is under the drugs, 90% of that is under the smell of cannabis. now we know that it's a bigger issue around class, a sort of drugs. yeah. crack cocaine and heroin but yet
5:42 pm
the figures not allude to them. take not taken off these drugs in the quantity, but yet they were say to me quite clearly . were say to me quite clearly. well we could smell cannabis but we can't smoke coke or heroin . we can't smoke coke or heroin. but that doesn't mean that it doesn't make me smart. if i could smell it. but like anything else, if i smoke around you and you walked or somewhere else you only have to step outside to smell it's on you and when the police dog could pick it up on, you. and the next thing is, you get stopped, said. but i don't think that it goes far with you as it would with me. just go and search your pockets and, then let you go. but with me, want to go but with me, you may want to go bit deeper and give me a more intimate search. look, thank you very good man. very much. as ever. good man. take we'll talk to you take care and we'll talk to you very soon. that is kind of on. the chair of haringey is independent. search independent. stop search monitoring group reacting to those around children those latest around children around search around not just stop and search as well strip searching etc. as well as strip searching etc. but moving that but we're moving on from that now because it khan is now because that it khan is extending london's low emission zone emphasise
5:43 pm
zone again i want to emphasise is sound like a is this might sound like a london centric story, it's london centric story, but it's not because a town in not because it's to a town in a city near you. i'll you for city near you. and i'll you for why in a matter of moments also be telling you the although we can't possibly condone it rather hillary ways that people are fighting patrick
5:44 pm
5:45 pm
5:46 pm
gb views okay people. i've got loads coming your way , which is going coming your way, which is going to continue a little bit with the crime theme now though, because the government is trying to down, if you'll excuse the pun, on anti—social behaviour, one that's caught one behaviour that's caught attention , two attention today is, two teenagers actually broke teenagers who actually broke a swan sanctuary . and murdered swan sanctuary. and murdered four swans and injured at least a dozen more. so they broke into sanctuary in dutchess in berkshire summer. they tortured the by firing catapults during an attack which lasted 20 minutes. one of the boys is 13 years old, has been convicted of causing unnecessary suffering to protect it animals and he's received a six month referral order to a youth offending . this
5:47 pm
order to a youth offending. this is especially relevant the fact that today and we heard from her in the commons earlier suella braverman and rishi sunak trying to introduce that new anti—social behaviour laws and clamp really on like clamp down really on stuff like this now is this all. joining me now is wendy herman . he's the manager wendy herman. he's the manager of support in it. look of the swan support in it. look thank you very, very for joining us this absolutely horrific that this happened so just talk us through your views on this mean i've been doing this for 30 years and i will say that it's the most sickening thing i've ever seen in my life when first looked back on the cctv we actually watched them with catapults for 20 minutes and i was physically sick through what i see. it took months to get over.i i see. it took months to get over . i was asleep i see. it took months to get over. i was asleep in or anything and it took a long time before the police actually one of them . and you had it all on
5:48 pm
of them. and you had it all on cctv , as you've said there, and cctv, as you've said there, and it did apparently take a long time for the police to actually catch up with them, which is pretty really in i sense. what do make of the sentences that have that have been passed, do you think it's fitting of the crime committed as a six month referral order apps ? absolutely. referral order apps? absolutely. no, i think it's we're really upset and so let down by justice system. i will say the police and the cps got it's cool and we feel been let down by the magistrates they're the one who gives the sentence on a six month referral order for who who committed this offence not just on one day they've done it on separate days and we caught them twice on cctv, they came back to get a six month referral order . get a six month referral order. isn't enough punishment. i mean what sort of deterrent is that to offer of a kids i think 13 years old is young know that but if they're old enough to do the crime, they should be punished
5:49 pm
like an adult. and six months is nothing. six months referral is just cocky every week. what sort of message does that give across? they should have used this opportunity to make an example them. no look , i'm example them. no look, i'm inclined to agree with you and people say 13 year old is young . i'm sorry, it's not that young . not that young at all. so know that you shouldn't be breaking into a particular site and torturing to death. i mean, i think even very young children are aware that that's a problem. look, today it's been announced that there's going to be a crack down on things like banking industry and people going out and graffiti and things and fly—tipping , for example, fly—tipping, for example, presumably you think maybe that's missed the mark and they should be doing more to give proper to people who do commit essentially violent acts against animals, not what you've got to deal animals, not what you've got to deal. i mean, absolute crime is everywhere . behaviour is everywhere. behaviour is everywhere. behaviour is everywhere. and i do, i get that. but they say animal crime
5:50 pm
is i don't think animal crime is taken enough by the system you know, where do these boys they start somewhere. what's next person you know , i think need to person you know, i think need to start at the bottom and then their way up and you know what are they going to do in five years time? go in attack person? i don't know . just think the way i don't know. just think the way down in this in society i think look, i'm very sorry to interview you under such bleak circumstances and to learn a bit more about what you have to go through. i do wish you all the very best and i know that you're just trying to care for animals that need our protection. so good luck to you. care. and good luck to you. take care. and hopefully, time we talk, hopefully, next time we talk, it's for no reason. but there we go. very, much . go. thank you very, very much. is yeah a pretty grim actually, isn't it? i think, ladies and gentlemen you make of gentlemen what do you make of that? i think that? because i think you absolutely spot on that really which idea that someone which is the idea that someone starts with anti—social behaviour
5:51 pm
starts with anti—social be move |r people don't starts with anti—social be move|r people don't they, to move on to people don't they, at point soon. so i think at some point soon. so i think that's pretty staggering that they've only got a rather menial sentence wendy sentence that wendy was suspended wendy suspended one wendy and those the country the manager swan support country in say well look moving on in dutch say well look moving on he's a story there's a real honey a probe has been found that's ten times in british honey failed a european union authenticity test which is very difficult to say the european has exposed adultery of honey with cheap sugar syrup and apparently all ten ordinary honey samples of that most of the fake honey comes from turkey and china. agriculture a journalist and farmer, bruce jobson , joins me now. i'm sorry jobson, joins me now. i'm sorry , bruce, you kind of have to just fill me in on exactly what's gone on here. i'm so what what's gone on here. i'm so what what's happened? british honey, is a fraud. is it you? no, not quite . not quite, patrick. but quite. not quite, patrick. but it surprise me. what been going on for years. this has for years. and yet guess and i have to say it's the eu who've
5:52 pm
checked it out and it was the same with the. the horsemeat scandal that came through from the island food standards agency. and we haven't got resources in this country. we have not supplied the resources to check things. but if you look at the listing that was 320 samples taken and 147 were suspicious. so it's 46% of the total france , 81, and germany, total france, 81, and germany, 50. so, you know, it's just the uk situation, although let's be fair, we top the league with 100. patrick we topped the league. this is you know, wonderful news. we've done something it but now these companies should be named shamed the consumer is being off. i mean i didn't realise that this is such big scandal actually. i mean it's a sticky mess, isn't i mean, there we go . somebody else mean, there we go. somebody else now. but yes , anyone for at now. but yes, anyone for at least a while. i was talking to bruce jobson about honey. so we're going move on from that.
5:53 pm
now, i believe. right. thank you very much, everyone been very much, everyone who's been getting in such well, getting in such as well, gb views. news dot uk for let's views. gb news dot uk for let's have a look. now we are seeing lots of reaction to the strip as well that we were talking about earlier on. about 40 children being searched and gary being strip searched and gary has been on search and he just this is obviously disgraceful . this is obviously disgraceful. adults are using children . you adults are using children. you can understand exactly why they the police are actually having to do this now. so, yes, although i can see in book shortly. but moving on now, sadiq khan is trying to expand the ulez zone in london, ultra low emission zone by the end august, will all 32 august, it will cover all 32 london boroughs rather just the centre. vehicles centre. it means vehicles which do european emission do not meet european emission standards pay standards will have to pay £12.50 for every day that they use that car within london. again, i want emphasise again, i want to emphasise sounds a centric story, sounds a london centric story, but it's not because i'm telling you going to come a town you it is going to come a town in city near you if it has it in a city near you if it has it already. i'm joined now by john mccall, who's host of the driven chat podcast and editor in chief of driven we've a sneak
5:54 pm
of driven chat. we've a sneak peek him earlier and it looks peek of him earlier and it looks as morphed a honey as though morphed into a honey expert. now he's back expert. but now, now he's back on normal brief. want on with his normal brief. i want to about, honey john, to ask you about, honey john, i want to set ask you about you last so basically the crux this story actually should have story actually you should have read have to read the people have taken to covering ulez cameras covering covering ulez cameras with and a little bit of with bags and a little bit of civil disobedience which of course condone. what civil disobedience which of cotyou condone. what civil disobedience which of cotyou make condone. what civil disobedience which of cotyou make of. condone. what civil disobedience which of cotyou make of. andyndone. what civil disobedience which of cotyou make of. and well,e. what civil disobedience which of cotyou make of. and well, yeah,|t do you make of. and well, yeah, i think you're right. we can't vandalism of any variety but i think the reason that people are so angry is clear. think the reason that people are so angry is clear . you know we so angry is clear. you know we can completely understand and sympathise with a huge number of london now who are suddenly subject to an additional outlay of cost at a time when just about everything in the world seems to be very, very expensive . yeah. i mean, looking at some figures we've seen that last yean figures we've seen that last year, 2022 ulez as it stands . so year, 2022 ulez as it stands. so the current ulez system raised . the current ulez system raised. an incredible £226 million in revenue. this is before they've expanded before . they gone into
5:55 pm
expanded before. they gone into the wider area . and i mean the, the wider area. and i mean the, predictions are clear as to what is going to happen next time. see, that figure is going to jump see, that figure is going to jump up see, that figure is going to jump up massively. but interesting. so has the infrastructure spend. so in order to get things like cameras puts out signage up all puts out put signage up all around london in these new catchment areas for to make them aware that the ulez that they're into is in the taxpayer is paying into is in the taxpayer is paying for these cameras which were already bought before a consultation in london about there is the taxpayer is going to get clobbered with the fines. okay so there's that element. so it's just going to make material difference to our air quality. well, here's the thing this is where becomes really where it becomes really interesting because i am a motoring journalist. i always celebrate car and in most celebrate the car and in most forms for me, i prefer good old fashioned petrol and diesel power classic . however, power and classic. however, i completely , utterly get the completely, utterly get the point that we to have cleaner air in cities. point that we to have cleaner air in cities . completely. of air in cities. completely. of course, i'm not going to argue that the method in which that all but the method in which we're going about changing the
5:56 pm
system. i don't think necessarily been entirely thought through , are essentially thought through, are essentially moving the problem elsewhere. we're pushing problem further out and this is only the system on getting people into the lap of cars because of course people are now having to go out and, buy new cars, replacing them and it covers poorest as opposed to. john, thank you very much. i'm sorry. that was so short and sweet that. but we have to fix it. little bit about honey bizarrely but sir john mark all bizarrely but sirjohn mark all thatis bizarrely but sirjohn mark all that is absolutely driven chop nature .com very very nature of driven .com very very short gentlemen short time now and gentlemen michelle me michelle dewberry joins me michelle dewberry joins me michelle here i am . i don't like michelle here i am. i don't like these ulez things though . i know these ulez things though. i know it war cars . and you say it is a war on cars. and you say they'll be to a city they'll be coming to a city nearby. already in nearby. these are already in loads of cities. cleaner. yeah and i do. ijust loads of cities. cleaner. yeah and i do. i just it a little bit of an ongoing war on getting us out of our cars and onto push bikes . heaven forbid a flat . oh, bikes. heaven forbid a flat. oh, well, there you go. people have been putting bags over the cameras and people say , they cameras and people say, they should one over my head should put one over my head
