3:14 pm
both sides are not newquay residents and travelled into the area in order to protest. i don't these people are reflective of the vast majority of people who live and work in newquay who in my experience have incredibly tolerant of the holes , the division is certainly holes, the division is certainly deep.the holes, the division is certainly deep. the wounds raw. the hope they can heal before the tourists begins and newquay can start surfing once more jeff moody gb news yeah, that was . moody gb news yeah, that was. jeff moody that now that is about the local unrest , as it about the local unrest, as it were, about the hotel in newquay. a little bit later we're going to be talking about the fact that the government is essentially evicting thousands of afghan asylum seekers, refugees, hotels and telling them basically, look, got them basically, look, you've got to whatever accommodation to take whatever accommodation you might end up you can get or you might end up being but right now being homeless. but right now we're to the rishi we're going to go to the rishi sunak facing mp senior sunak is facing from mp senior mps westminster at the liaison committee . a variety committee. a variety of different things , including the different things, including the
3:15 pm
illegal immigration stuff. let's have it. according to the obe . have it. according to the obe. what are your thoughts on that? no to the point on the fiscal rules, it's important to remember that actually what they were talking about in terms headroom was the degree to which the delta, the change from the fourth to the fifth year, the overall level of debt was lower across the forecast period, lower debt, interest payments , lower debt, interest payments, overall amounts of debt. so in that sense, public finances that sense, the public finances undoubtedly strengthened since since the autumn and i think that's something we should all be for going forward you're right you identify lots of areas of pressure which is why you know when i made the commitment on aid as and more generally when we commitments you know they are subject to the fiscal and economic circumstances and ultimately the best way to pay for things that we'd like to spend money on is to have a growing economy and. that's why, you know, be earlier a question about the investment incentives is so important. that's why the chancellor's measures in the budget increase supply
3:16 pm
budget increase labour supply are important, if budget increase labour supply are important , if can, budget increase labour supply are important, if can, and are important, if we can, and his measures indeed to improve regulation in our growth industries, life industries, particularly life sciences and can get sciences, and if we can get those things right and then actually will higher growth actually we will higher growth and that's ultimately the best way afford to invest in all way to afford to invest in all the things. it's art, security or else that we or anything else that we collectively think is important. thank you, prime minister brine, thank you very much . one could thank you very much. one could say that you're getting reputation as a problem solver and there's one area where that looks to be true. so is the to nhs pay dispute in particular with the nurses and the provisional agreement with , the provisional agreement with, the agenda for change unions obviously is just wider the nurses. but you know , some nurses. but you know, some anxiety out there that these agreements reached that are confirmed through that , through confirmed through that, through the unions where the money is going to come from to pay for those those increases. so too, will it come from existing budgets or . will it come from existing budgets or. is there going to be extra funding to the trust that
3:17 pm
have to pay settlements and i think taking a step back as pleased that we were able to reach agreement with several health unions on a fair and reasonable pay settlement for 1.4 million nhs workers . it's 1.4 million nhs workers. it's right that that pay fairly and rewarded for the fantastic they do whether it's nurses midwives , paramedics or others but also important you know just referring back to harriet's questions that that was affordable for the taxpayer and consistent with our promises to halve inflation and cut waiting list. and i think we've struck the right balance and i think you would have seen i hope, comments from the health secretary today that did provide the that people were the reassurance that people were for. of course, there were for. and, of course, there were always departments and always between departments and the and i would the treasury the and i would want the middle of want to get in the middle of precisely about the health precisely about that the health secretary provided strong reassurance additional as reassurance about additional as well as reprioritisation from elsewhere but making sure that the commitment to continue delivering care and all our commitments to cut waiting is
3:18 pm
absolutely paramount and protected . i think that's been protected. i think that's been warmly welcomed the sector. warmly welcomed by the sector. yes. you for that . so yes. thank you for that. so turning to a footnote for the link subject, which is nhs recovery, which know it's something care deeply something that you care deeply about. february, the about. so last february, the elective plan elective recovery plan for tackling covid back. okay. tackling the covid back. okay. so what you were watching and listening to that is our prime minister rishi just having a chat basically the liaison committee he's to be committee and he's going to be covering a wide range of issues. so what you just was him being grilled economy also grilled about the economy also about pay rises, that about nhs pay rises, is that true? also going talking true? he's also going be talking about the migrant crisis, the small boats crisis. and i believe that we can go live now to is political editor darren mccaffrey free and davos going to talk to us a bit about afghan evictions from so around 9000 afghans as we understand , daryn, afghans as we understand, daryn, are set to be essentially evicted from what many people would call migrant . talk to me would call migrant. talk to me about that . yeah, indeed. we've about that. yeah, indeed. we've heard from johnny mercer in the last hour or so, essentially defending this policy in
3:19 pm
parliament. we're expecting a formal either later on today or indeed , as you say, the moving, indeed, as you say, the moving, if you like, of these afghan refugees, many who, of course, took in this country following the takeover by the taliban in, what, around 18 months ago , know what, around 18 months ago, know the commons argument. all of this is that they need to free up accommodation that clearly hotels not the place for hotels not the best place for such a long period of time not least all they've got least all when they've got children there are children though. there are concerns about where many of these refugees ultimately these refugees could ultimately end up , and i these refugees could ultimately end up, and i think that's going to spark of a political debate about , the responsibility the about, the responsibility the government has to refugees. many of them will have potentially had connections with britain in the past they will have served the past they will have served the uk while. its forces were present in afghanistan . of present in afghanistan. of course they were welcomed to this country, given safe passage , as i say, following the collapse of the afghan government's in august of 2021, the darroch i'm very sorry about . this very sorry. i'm going

go to a full blown trial. so prince harry, along with elton john, said he first actress elizabeth hurley, baroness lawrence and, a few others high profile figures are collectively suing associated newspapers who are to publishers of the daily mail mail on sunday over alleged unlawful information gathering at the publications and basically they are is basically saying whether or not it can go to a full trial or not. yeah indeed. he's obviously very keen for it be there he's i think trying to put on a little bit of pressure. isn't he really. and make his presence. yeah, exactly. think the that it was exactly. i think the that it was so a public attention so such a public attention yesterday indeed yesterday and indeed he was saying morning saying good morning to photographers and journalists shows just how important perhaps is to him. prince harry has says in previous interview that he sees it's and i quote his life's to hold that he sees in to accounts who are allegedly behind this information gathering at the publications that's the allegation associates
3:36 pm
his newspapers have denied all the claims but also he wants to change the way tabloid in the united kingdom works. he isn't looking for in financial assessments here know i think it's very unlikely we'll see that the case that's allowed it's more of an emotional isn't it. what he's trying to say as well, that he suffered from suspicion. emperor anya and lost friends because newspaper articles relation to articles so in relation to things alleged phone things like alleged phone tapping and just general nefarious activities by the british media he saying that that cost him peace of mind mental health and friendships. yeah, exactly. his lawyers argued yesterday that he basically couldn't trust his inner because he assumes inner circle because he assumes that leaking stuff to that they were leaking stuff to the press. but harry now believes that's the press got the information right up , say the information right up, say undesirable stories about him because they allegedly either tapped his phone or , planted tapped his phone or, planted listening devices in his , etc, listening devices in his, etc, etc. are the allegations again and associated newspapers it all but even elton elton john's
3:37 pm
lawyers he's also part of this case is alleging him and his his husband david were so paranoid that they got people employed to watch their security cameras inside homes 24 seven that they were worried that were listening to that very personal calls. there's a lot of evidence we've heard already. but of course, again, it's just a preliminary charge. yes, it's it is. and it dates in in some case, it dates so far back that they may decide that it's actually not really relevant now is the issue. cameron, thank you very, very much. governor walker there are. reporter and yes, so what do you make that's just make of all of that that's just been prince harry, of course, in court second today. court for the second time today. we're take you a little we're going to take you a little bit later the way, to bit later on, by the way, to gwyneth paltrow . now, gwyneth paltrow. now, she's essentially trial ski essentially on trial for a ski crash that's taking place in america. we're going you america. we're going to play you clips little bit about clips in a little bit about this. just a classic this. it just a classic hollywood laugh a minute trial that. hollywood laugh a minute trial that . you will not be able to that. you will not be able to get your heads around, they get your heads around, but they would get moving on bit closer get your heads around, but they wchome.t moving on bit closer get your heads around, but they wc home. jeremyg on bit closer get your heads around, but they wchome. jeremy has bit closer get your heads around, but they wchome. jeremy has beenloser get your heads around, but they wchome. jeremy has been blocked
3:38 pm
to home. jeremy has been blocked from standing as a labour candidate the next election, candidate at the next election, with sir keir starmer confirming. at confirming. the move at a meeting of party's party, meeting of the party's party, the ndc . so corbyn will not be the ndc. so corbyn will not be endorsed as formal labour endorsed as a formal labour candidate. is currently representing islington, north, obviously as an independent after losing the party whip over his on antisemitism. now jeremy corbyn has said that keir had denigrate the democratic foundations of by trying to block him standing. we can go now to what deputy political editor tom harwood is outside labour hq for us. tom, thank you very much. so look pretty bad for jeremy corbyn. is it a party? look the labour party that. party? look the labour party that . well i think it's exactly that. well i think it's exactly keir starmer wants everyone to be talking about the idea of this labour party leadership is trying to say give us a sense that the labour party has changed the phrase that sir keir starmer often uses now is the party is new manager. so i think the votes by the ndc of labour
3:39 pm
party is as much about optics as it is about the reality of whether or not jeremy corbyn will be a labour member of parliament. this is about what the labour is projecting to the country. and sir keir is very, very keen to differentiate himself from his direct predecessor, the man who he campaigned for, the man he wanted to become prime minister , man who he said was his friend and who he would defend the legacy of as leader. well, sir keir has about turned on all of those points , has ditched the those points, has ditched the policies he on, has ditched his friend jeremy corbyn and is now trying to convince the country that he and indeed the labour party changed their minds. it remains, however, an open question as to whether or not the country will buy into that story . yeah, i mean, i think it story. yeah, i mean, i think it raises serious about whether or not people can trust keir
3:40 pm
starmer on this back. jeremy corbyn tried to get him elected twice, was full square behind at one point and now of course he doesn't appear to like him very much wants him out of the much and wants him out of the party. someone keen to know happensin party. someone keen to know happens in islington over happens in islington north over the general election. the next general election. does corbyn. well ? well, this is corbyn. it well? well, this is a really interesting question because . of course we're looking because. of course we're looking at the can stitch see labour party and they've been saying today and the constituency labour party seem to be very supportive of jeremy corbyn. they have released a statement pointing to the words that keir starmer used back in 2020 when he was stand to be leader of the labour party, saying that look , labour party, saying that look, constituencies should their candidates rather the national party, rather than centrally imposed candidates . well, that's imposed candidates. well, that's exactly what happened. now, yet another u—turn from sir keir starmer national. any see choosing that saying that someone must be banned from standing when clearly the local
3:41 pm
party wanted that man to stand . party wanted that man to stand. it's a very interesting proposition here what the local party do might they get an independent? jeremy campaign or ? independent? jeremy campaign or 7 might independent? jeremy campaign or ? might they simply throw in behind whoever the eventual labour party candidate is ? it labour party candidate is? it doesn't seem like it's a issue at all in islington north. tom, thank you very much. our deputy political editor, tom, that emails have been coming in thick and fast gb views of gb news cage is going to go with one of them quickly stimulation to the story that is going to be leading on next hour actually, which is thousands afghan asylum seekers, the seekers, people who fled the taliban a year or so a couple of years ago, going to be years ago, all going to be booted of hotels that booted out of the hotels that they've living in and told they've been living in and told to whatever accommodation to accept whatever accommodation that possibly that they are given or possibly rendered homeless. rendered themselves homeless. jenny been and she says these families will be offered new home country after being home in our country after being in for around 20 months. in hotels for around 20 months. many children would many of our own children would welcome of a new home, welcome an offer of a new home, as them still with that
3:42 pm
as many of them still with that parents. of course, the other side to this is very much that what happens if they decide that they want they don't want this accommodation they then accommodation do they then end up streets? how does that up on the streets? how does that really views? of course. gb really your views? of course. gb views news dot uk but well views at gb news dot uk but well quite typical in a way landlords will powers to evict will have new powers to evict rowdy some rowdy tenants. why? some say that will the uk's that this will make the uk's crisis worse . nightmare of crisis even worse. nightmare of tenants people. hopefully we will get stuck into that very shortly. unpopular because these and is want superfast broadband at a super price? get virgin media's m50 broadband forjust £25 a month and no setup fee! with average download speeds of 54 megabits per second, start going superfast now.
3:43 pm
3:44 pm
gb news. yes. welcome back. no us president joe biden has called congress to pass an assault weapons after six people, including children, were killed including children, were killed in a shooting in nashville on monday . the shooter, identified monday. the shooter, identified as 28 year old former student audrey hale , has shown entering audrey hale, has shown entering the building and. chilling footage was by responding police officers and. nashville police chief john drake has a search of
3:45 pm
hale's home that police had two more maps pertaining to maybe some thinking about some other incidents and a manifesto indicating the shooting was planned. we're going to stick with some of these shocking images now . you really some of images now. you really some of those children that were involved were just as young as nine years old as well, which is pretty pretty devastating . pretty pretty devastating. covenant school, which is a private christian school for students aged 3 to 11. the footage you'll be seeing we squeezed squeeze if you watch these on tv is the individual walking to in the school in the first it's also first place. it's also worth noting well that the noting as well that the individual that was born as a female and was transitioning had transitioned into being a male . transitioned into being a male. a spokesperson for the washington sorry told the washington sorry told the washington post that hale is a biological woman who on a social media profile use male pronouns and they left a manifesto drawn detailed maps of the school and officers said they believe that resentment may have been a
3:46 pm
motive it was the school that the gunman did several years as they drove to the school got in firing through one of the school's doors, which were all locked, of course, is often the case in america because unfortunate they have so of unfortunate they have so many of these don't they and these incidents don't they and yeah emerged yeah video did later emerged showing use gun to showing they'd use that gun to gain by shattering glass panes on front doors and just look as we can all gather then just wandering the school willy nilly before , eventually being shot before, eventually being shot dead by. police. so that's the latest from nashville in we'll bnng latest from nashville in we'll bring you more as and when we it but joe biden and of course urging now the american congress actually act and do more to ban the sale of guns to have tighter gun controls , to stop incidents gun controls, to stop incidents like this, taking place. just one last one, really. the nashville chief, john drake, said they investigate it has found his manifesto and a map of how all of this going to play out, including entry and exit points at the school buildings.
3:47 pm
apparently the shooter conducted surveillance while planning the attack and it just is absolutely utterly devastating. as i said at least four of the victims that were nine years old. so there we go. that's the latest from nashville , tennessee, right from nashville, tennessee, right 7 from nashville, tennessee, right ? we're going to move away from that story for now. i took my shop inflation because shop inflation has hit record highs again this morning with sugar and products leading and cocoa products leading the rise. yes , that means more rise. and yes, that means more expensive easter eggs . don't expensive easter eggs. don't know you, but i think know about you, but i think tesco's the other day it was looking around 14 for looking around 14 quit for easter isn't it easter egg which is mad isn't it . maybe it's just me and pressure is mounting to the bank of governor who of england governor who is blaming retirement and blaming early retirement and labour gaps. so inflation, higher interest rates is all going up in the economy here to pick through it all is our economics and business editor. it's on the it's liam halligan with on the money . you're telling me i get, money. you're telling me i get, isuppose money. you're telling me i get, i suppose 50 equivalent ezra he may have to. patrick absolutely
3:48 pm
shock a shock now look what's going on there. come on. so inflation in general is going down right ? inflation in general is going down right? had a blip in february when went up from 10.1 to 10.4. but in general, the long term trend is down, but food price inflation is proving to be really sticky , really to be really sticky, really hanging around because the food pnces hanging around because the food prices that are in the now reflect the farmers cost months ago. obviously, because food takes time to grow when energy were higher, fertiliser costs were higher, fertiliser costs were higher, fertiliser costs were higher and so on. now have a look at some of these numbers and we can talk them through for radio listeners . well, these are radio listeners. well, these are from cancer , which is from cancer, which is a consultancy , private sector consultancy, private sector consultancy, private sector consultancy , monitors food consultancy, monitors food pnces. consultancy, monitors food prices. march. we're consultancy, monitors food prices . march. we're not even at prices. march. we're not even at the end of march. councils say that so far in march food prices were 17.5, up year on year. that means on march 20, 22. that's much, much higher than the basic rate of inflation. in february was 10.4. patrick for all goods you can see there , food prices
3:49 pm
you can see there, food prices going up by much than prices in general and total, say that that means that the price of an average shopping bill households throughout single year is now 830 something quite higher that's a huge amount of money in a year for you know any family frankly £837 more on the same amount of food bought in a single year . amount of food bought in a single year. and they're also saying cancel the most eye—watering price of eggs, milk, cheese , dairy products milk, cheese, dairy products with as feedstock. that's very , with as feedstock. that's very, very expensive for farmers. and we patrick that food price inflation hits the poor why? because they spend a bigger amount of their income on food so even though inflation is probably to fall by the end of the year from about ten to about 5. i think that's pretty much nailed on food prices and state inflation is going to remain stubbornly high and that's politically really toxic. yeah. what's going to happen with
3:50 pm
interest rates and we think, well you should say that on interest rates. so andrew , who's interest rates. so andrew, who's the governor of the bank of england, i'm starting to call him calling him the not me governor of the bank . him calling him the not me governor of the bank. he's coming with reasons why coming up with reasons why inflation isn't fault or it's not just him. it's the monetary policy committee, the nine economists that the bank of england, of whom he is the most senior , he chairs that committee senior, he chairs that committee . in my view. they should have started raising interest rates a lot earlier than they did. they kept saying inflation transitory for too long. but in recent days and weeks, andrew has been saying why it that inflation is high apart from the fact that interest rates didn't go up enough, he said last that inflation was too high because firms were too willing to eagerly passing on price rises in the supply chain. some call that profiteering. i do . there's that profiteering. i do. there's a bit of that going on. i absolutely think that's a bit of that going on. so he's got a point. and i also think he's got bit of a point when he said
3:51 pm
yesterday in a speech at the london school of economics that inflation is high because a lot of people haven't come back to work after covid. he on work force after covid. he on retirees you know 50 to 60 year olds not coming back into the workforce of the covid but there's a lot more people up and down the age who just haven't come because they've got come back because they've got long this kind of long long covid or this kind of long term sick . and you ask about term sick. and you ask about what's going happen to our what's going to happen to our interest we bit of interest rates. we got a bit of a clue on that today because andrew bailey was talking the cross—party of mps in cross—party committee of mps in the the the house of commons, the treasury committee, treasury select committee, and he reassured was he was reassured us, he was trying to reassure us that despite the banking squalls that we've the collapses we've seen, the collapses of banks, in banks, the states and in switzerland he was saying to mpc today, patrick, here's the clip that as far as he's concerned, the british banking sector is safe . i don't think any of we've safe. i don't think any of we've said this that any of these features cause stress in the uk banking system, i think we are all in the place we were in in 2007/8, very different place to
3:52 pm
then, but we have to be very vigilant. so you know, if i give you the answer, i don't think there's a problem going forwards. i do not want to give you a move . but the idea that we you a move. but the idea that we are not very vigilant because we are not very vigilant because we are are a period of very are we are in a period of very heightened, you know, frankly tension and we tension and alertness and we will on being against you say will go on being against you say the word vigilance. several times. what does he mean ? so times. so what does he mean? so you think about the central bank here, alan greenspan the here, alan greenspan was the head federal reserve for head of the federal reserve for many years. he had this great phrase these speak an elliptical language. if you language. right. because if you can't understood, can't be properly understood, you wrong. yeah you can never be wrong. yeah yeah. greenspan also yeah. and alan greenspan also said you're not confused, said if you're not confused, you've probably misunderstood me. this is fantastic . yeah, me. this is fantastic. yeah, great. but we can pick these words and we can pore over them and try and work out what they mean okay. vigilant in. this case means two things. it means they're going to keep their beady eyes on the bank right? yeah. if there's any sign that a bank be looking a bit rocky and going, they'll be in there and
3:53 pm
trying to do deals between other banks. keep the banks together. banks banking many ways is a banks banking in many ways is a confidence in the western confidence trick in the western world, but vigilance means, world, but vigilance also means, i'm afraid , that if inflation i'm afraid, that if inflation persists , we will see another persists, we will see another interest rate rise. now, a lot us thought that the last interest rate rise we had from 4 to 4 and a quarter% could been the last. but know now that inflation did blip upwards in february. look, if this next inflation number in that will come out in a couple of weeks in as we go into early in mid—april . if that inflation number is single digits, i reckon then we've had the last interest rise. but what andrew is saying is he's not promising that we may see another interest rise, not least because food price inflation stays so high. lame duck you very, very much as i believe. how can our economics business that is a running you may have heard me mention a little bit on there little bit earlier on there about being deeply concerned about me being deeply concerned about me being deeply concerned about of chocolate about the price of chocolate going announced on going up. and as i announced on television, did have a message
3:54 pm

4:26 pm
rebecca, this is bonkers. well, what else do you expect from ? a what else do you expect from? a celebrity court case with someone as out of touch? does gwyneth paltrow. and i think this court has just shows this actress . she's worth $200 actress. she's worth $200 million alone. she grew in hollywood. her mom, blythe danner , her dad was a big film danner, her dad was a big film hotshot. so it's hardly surprising she called her child apple . another one, moses. i apple. another one, moses. i think we can kind of assume that this is to get a bit bizarre and a bit mad. and what was really interesting when gwyneth took to the stand is last week when they asked her what she impact the accident had on her, she said, oh, i lost half day skiing. oh, god, rebecca, let me start. let me stop you there. let me let me stop you there, because i actually we've got clip of actually think we've got clip of exactly gwyneth paltrow exactly that. so gwyneth paltrow was essentially financial was being essentially financial impact this crash had had had on her. so i believe we can we can play her. so i believe we can we can play the clip coming . let's have play the clip coming. let's have it go on. i think is hilarious. this just to say if we can get it up now, we're off to wait a

4:28 pm
them look superior when they countersue small countersue sue for such a small amount credit. pouch is asking for her legal fees and $1. so it is really just a pr exercise. is really just of a pr exercise. you'll say with gwyneth well you'll say with gwyneth as well in case day. i don't in this court case day. i don't think really thought how think she really thought how serious it was. she was dressed down know, glasses and down and, you know, glasses and a quite casual, didn't a jumper, quite casual, didn't see face. then we've see that face. and then we've seen perform a lot more particularly with see as we stayed here, which took to the stand right hollywood stand she's right glam hollywood and charm and she's been on a charm offensive she's got to offensive because she's got to protect here protect her reputation here because of think because a lot of people think she's of touch anyway. and she's out of touch anyway. and then talking about you then she's talking about you know, distraught from know, she was so distraught from this, she had to go and have a massage afterwards. i mean, while, this claims while, you know, this claims terry sanderson was knocked unconscious, does a unconscious, it just does seem a bit ludicrous. yeah, no, look, it does you i it absolutely does. you know, i don't to like i'm don't want to seem like i'm diminishing terry sanderson diminishing what terry sanderson has in part has to say here. he in part blaming this ski crash on the loss of his relationship . his loss of his relationship. his partner with losing friends and, all of that which i think many people might find difficult to get their heads around. but
4:29 pm

people of cornwall some of them anyway are getting very, very annoyed about backlash to asylum seeker hotel. this pops up there it's interesting this case because see further young sea fascists bust in apparently about 150 people to stand outside this hotel balaclavas and face coverings and black clothing, waving flags, calling everyone a frothing racist , even everyone a frothing racist, even though they're not from the area. and then the locals as well just standing there really , many of them just middle aged or with, i think or quite elderly with, i think quite concern is quite reasonable concern is like, know how many young like, well, know how many young men just moved in next door? men who just moved in next door? what's to the what's it going to do to the house prices and public safety in tourism and the in the area? tourism and the impact it might we've impact that it might have we've gotian impact that it might have we've got ian who's on. he says, got ian who's been on. he says, if it was me, i'd be quite upset as . but i certainly am not as well. but i certainly am not as well. but i certainly am not a yes. and then go, a fascist. yes. and then we go, thank very much. there's thank you very much. there's rather on the other one is rather a lot on the other one is one is about the afghan refugees. this is an refugees. now, this is an interesting one because two interesting one because it's two different asylum seeker different sets of asylum seeker stories that's stories here and the one that's taking place. so possibly shortly. is there afghan seekers
4:37 pm
who taliban . so look, who fled the taliban. so look, many will these are many people will say these are quote unquote, genuine asylum because i know that a lot of people think quite a few people think they're quite a few people think they're quite a few people across channel people coming across the channel more these people more or so. so these people genuinely the taliban genuinely thought the taliban a couple years ago and have couple of years ago and have been put hotels.com nation been put in hotels.com nation ever now, the government ever since. now, the government has to has said them they're going to be out. has said them they're going to be out . this hotel be moved out. this hotel and these hotels and they're going to be placed into other accommodation. now, they have to accept that accommodation that they choice. they have a choice. is that essentially become homeless. and i asking or not i was asking whether or not think fair and. linda think that's fair and. linda says am i correct the afghan war is over. that the case? should they not necessarily maybe go home? linda, i would say just politely. i do share some strong views about the seeker crisis that's taking place in britain at the minute. i do think it's probably little bit rough to ask people to actually go back to because of these people because a lot of these people are going must be reinforced where like afghan interpreters, the people who genuinely did help the war effort help us during the war effort over there and probably would be killed if they went back. so maybe when it comes these
4:38 pm
maybe when it comes to these now, not as simple as it is now, it's not as simple as it is potentially with some people from albania say, look, of from albania say, look, those of you getting in touch on that, keep your views coming in gb views spent views at gbnews.uk the uk spent billions the afghan billions fighting for the afghan people, costing hundreds of servicemen's this from servicemen's lives. this is from hoc things that we've paid enough already. well, and if you feel like we've paid enough already, then it's problem already, then it's a big problem for because we're going to for you because we're going to paying for you because we're going to paying for them anyway because it's their it's not the case that their hotel are going to be hotel costs are going to be reduced. yep. or they will be reduced. yep. or they will be reduced by virtue of their not being what being in the hotel. but what kind housing they going kind of housing are they going to one would imagine to go into? one would imagine it'll be social housing or housing at the lower end of the rental or in some rental sector or in some councils. this been as councils. and this has been as well some local councils are building housing specific building new housing specific for and afghan for ukrainian and afghan refugees. this has prompted quite from quite a large backlash from people, especially by way, people, especially by the way, younger people , who are younger people, who are thinking, you're not going thinking, well, you're not going to build for me you can't build housing for a of people who are already here. but you can build it for other as well. so it for other people as well. so how does that quite work out? so
4:39 pm
it's interesting really because i a lot the younger i think a lot of the younger people to maybe be more people do tend to maybe be more the refugees welcome brigade are actually annoyed. actually quite annoyed. some of the for building the local councils for building accommodation the local councils for building acc< refugees. on the local councils for building acc< refugees. so go the refugees. so that we go gbviews@gbnews.uk keep these coming strong stuff in coming in is strong stuff in inbox. to it right inbox. we love to say it right on jeremy corbyn has on though. jeremy corbyn has been blocked from standing as a labour at the next labour candidate at the next general election, keir general election, with keir confirming move at a meeting confirming the move at a meeting of the party's ruling body, the adc will not be endorsed adc corbyn will not be endorsed as labour candidate . he's as formal labour candidate. he's currently representing islington north, obviously as an independent after losing the party whip over his stance on antisemitism, jeremy corbyn has said that sir keir had denigrated the democratic foundation of labour by trying to block him standing. joining me now to analyse what this could mean for labour's election chancesis could mean for labour's election chances is professor john curtis , professor at the , professor of politics at the university of strathclyde. thank you much , john. so look you very much, john. so look this and in itself might be bad news for labour because jeremy corbyn presumably could well win that it was in into north on his own as an independent no that's
4:40 pm
going to be pretty tough in such safe seat. the irony of that is that therefore mr. corbyn has to get a very large proportion , the get a very large proportion, the vote to be have a good chance defeating the labour candidate. so i'm sure he will do creditably but the history of independent candidates trying to do their seats while it's done once or twice, but it's very difficult to do. okay i think a national picture for labour is looking quite good boosted massively what we've just seen in scotland . perhaps search in scotland. perhaps search image to yourself is not popular in the way that nicola sturgeon was . and it's also true that the was. and it's also true that the labour party is now only running about ten points behind the snp in the most recent polls of westminster voting intention . westminster voting intention. that said, it has to be remembered . a lot of people in remembered. a lot of people in scotland are still voting primarily on the basis the constitutional question whether therefore against independence , therefore against independence, labour support is nearly times
4:41 pm
higher amongst. those who labour support is nearly times higher amongst . those who voted higher amongst. those who voted no . in 2014 than it higher amongst. those who voted no. in 2014 than it is higher amongst. those who voted no . in 2014 than it is amongst no. in 2014 than it is amongst those who voted and to the if labour are going make further progress in narrowing the snp lead, i think in truth they've got start persuading voters to. leave aside the constitutional question to a much greater extent than they've to do so far. so this is the there but it's by no means guaranteed to give labour a rich reward i suppose. certainly to increase their seats north of the border above the one that they currently have. okay all right. so it could be fascinating to see or not the wider public thinks keir starmer has done a good thing here. continuing to berate jeremy corbyn because honestly a lot of people are thinking it maybe makes someone look quite untrustworthy . he look quite untrustworthy. he tried to get this guy elected for a long period of time. he stood side by side with him and then now all of a sudden he's saying, no, he's toxic. i want nothing him. so can nothing to do with him. so can
4:42 pm
we well certainly we trust keir. well certainly the case against him has moved quite a long way from the character of the campaign that he formed to become party leader back in the spring of 2020. but the fact that you've referred to their arguments about cercare having backed jeremy corbyn, become prime minister, etc. is one of the reasons why this motion has been brought forward largely symbolic, because i think it is because . the truth think it is because. the truth is that for so long as sir keir denied jeremy corbyn whip as a labour mp , jeremy corbyn was not labour mp, jeremy corbyn was not going to be able to stand as a labour candidate anyway. but i think the truth is that probably the part. what's he doing saying he's responding to the conservative party, saying, well, whatever happened the past you cannot be clear that i have drawn a clear demarcation line between myself and jeremy corbyn and is therefore trying to limit the force of that conservative accusation, which is brought up virtually prime minister's
4:43 pm
questions bickerstaff alright, thank you very much . john thank you very much. john curtice, professor. sirjohn curtice, professor. sirjohn curtice, professor. sirjohn curtice, professor of politics at the university of strathclyde . just outlining what all this means for the labour party going forward. some fantastic forward. look some fantastic e—mails coming in relating to top that we're top story as well that we're covering refugees covering about afghan refugees being moved out of a hotel or hotels i say, and then hotels, i should say, and then essentially being placed into local and being told local housing and being told they've to accept that they've got to accept that housing or basically risk being homeless. patrick. nephew homeless. hi, patrick. my nephew has job. he has a wife and a has no job. he has a wife and a son. he lives in a caravan, so not a hotel. can get a house not a hotel. can he get a house with free everything well. with free everything as well. these refugees . no, i these so—called refugees. no, i thought and that's from thought no. and that's from david. david, firstly, i have everything sorted for you everything sorted out for you and but this not and your nephew, but this is not and your nephew, but this is not an view at the moment in. the inbox ketosis coming in, the soaring cost of easter eggs. so moving on was not all about we'll be finding out i'm we'll be finding out why i'm patrick on is

gb news okay welcome back now food inflation hit record highs again morning with shoppers predicted to face around hundred pounds more on their annual grocery shopping bill. but the bank of england governor says gaps the labour market are to blame for the financial pressures, blaming early retirement, contributing to inflation. higher to rising inflation. higher interest rates look liam halligan is here to cut through the noise on this with on the money . lane we've got some money. lane we've got some figures but understand since last spoke you've been rummaging in the undergrowth little bit rummaging the undergrowth rummaging in the undergrowth like who you like david bellamy, who you didn't was which didn't even know was which shows your so we were talking your age. so we were talking about food price inflation. let's about food price inflation about food price inflation. lelittleiout food price inflation about food price inflation. lelittle ioul fchere rice inflation about food price inflation. le little ioul fc here rice the ation a little more here are the numbers that came out this morning they're official morning they're not official numbers from a private sector consultancy numbers consultancy called their numbers for before march even ended but they are authoritative shows . they are authoritative shows. the food price inflation, 17.5, up on march 2022, a basket of that's much, much higher than
4:48 pm
general inflation across the board for all goods and which was 10.4% in march. in february . so you can see there the between general inflation and food price inflation can also say that the average family because of this food price inflation is more than 850 quid extra sorry, 837 quid more on their annual shopping , food, their annual shopping, food, shopping bill and, the kind of foods that have gone the most are eggs, dairy cheese and so on. but look, we've got this food price inflation. i talked to lots of they get in touch with me and farmers are keen to say that it's not that their margins are high. farmers are saying that they're finding it really hard pass on the higher input costs like fuel fertiliser and on and a lot of farmers i talked they say yeah food price inflation is really high but in general so you know, wholesale
4:49 pm
food prices coming down. but look at the of supermarket it's a lot of farmers are saying to me that at least some of this ongoing food price inflation is because supermarket profitable say is unusually high now the supermarket would deny that they'd say oh we were competitive business there's lots of lots of competition between the very supermodel markets but it's something i got to look into more because it concerns me that ordinary men and women, ordinary households are paying really through the nose for their food. still even though wholesale wheat all rest of it on global markets, the price of those has come down a lot in the last few months particularly compared to this time last year after the spike the war in ukraine when began in february. so i'm concerned about what's happening in the supply for food because i personally think that a lot of farmers are getting a raw deal got so thank you very much as ever liam halligan our economics on business and we're going to get
4:50 pm
a little bit more on this and drill down into of my favourite topics, is things that are topics, which is things that are bad for me. so sweets, chocolates and anything with in it lambsdorff i ran out it really lambsdorff i ran out of san jose now is south—east of england. reporter unease a sweet shopin england. reporter unease a sweet shop in belmont, which i think we all agree is a tough day we can all agree is a tough day out for ray. right. how is it that? yeah it's great. patrick yeah. feel let me stay here in the shop so i've i've had the run of the place he left earlier which maybe a mistake i've got myself some some jazzy some fish and chips and some dracula teeth as well. so that's supper. but yeah i've talking to shopkeepers around and sorry sweet shop owners and they've been telling me that they've seen the prices of their stock go up by between 30 and 70% and some items have disappeared as well has just become unavailable. things like . sweet peanuts, for example they're not able to find any more customers to that buying
4:51 pm
less patrick and as an independent business it's very hard because of course the supermarket it's generally have lower prices for example here at charlie's sweets in belmont they don't bother stocking easter eggs they're never going to be able to sell for as cheaply as supermarkets will. and so they choose not to do that. and of course, general costs of just of being a trader gone up you know electricity and energy costs and rent and everything's going up just, making it difficult. and earlier on i was over in sussex and i was chatting shoppers about why they're not buying. well they are not choosing rather to buy easter eggs this year. rather to buy easter eggs this year . well, not yet, but i will year. well, not yet, but i will be buying them. i didn't notice any difference . i said if i've any difference. i said if i've looked properly, maybe i certainly will be getting them. yeah, definitely . i know i'm yeah, definitely. i know i'm bony at the moment. yeah, because i'm for the price for a medium size easter egg is expensive. it seem to really
4:52 pm
deals i know we've seen the pnces deals i know we've seen the prices go up and we won't consider buying them anyway so think they have gone up quite a bit like everything else . i bit like everything else. i think the inflation speaking everybody's streak as you know obviously this has all happened because of the spike in sugar cos it's had impact on the high street . however harvest we're street. however harvest we're heanng street. however harvest we're hearing are improving and have been improving over the last few months and so they're, they are likely to come down soon but obviously not before easter sunday. right. all thank you very, very much, ray. out of sun is reporting to us believed to offer a sweet shop in belmont and hopefully easter bunny does come for everybody watching. i'm sorry. well, anyway. right family's near number of family's near a number of calories . family's near a number of calories. families living near a number of sinkholes in a norfolk village banned their children playing outside over that they may disappear or , be sucked into may disappear or, be sucked into the earth. residents who live in two areas of thorpe, hamlet, the earth. residents who live in two areas of thorpe, hamlet , say two areas of thorpe, hamlet, say that they are plagued by the
4:53 pm
holes which keep appearing near their so homeowners say the problem will only get worse as the affected areas which are made up of sand and chalk if work is not carried out quickly , mean it's a dangerous world there for kids. at the moment, i didn't think sinkholes was the main issue. there we go. joining me now is someone who knows an awful lot about sinkholes . it is awful lot about sinkholes. it is carmen solana, who is reader of volcanology and risk communication. so thank you much. oh, well, i mean i mean, good grief. so basically , people good grief. so basically, people in norfolk are telling kids to don't go outside in case earth eats them alive . yes. well, eats them alive. yes. well, that's apparently that's the news, he said. i you should go. want to be honest. who with sinkholes is indeed sinkhole sick can appear at any time and we don't really know where the next one is going to open. so i suspect that that uncertainty is difficult to cope with for parents. yes do you i think
4:54 pm
showing some image sinkholes and that's that's exactly what happens. i've got to i've got to ask look, realistically, how worried should we be? i will confess, i've never seen a sinkhole. it's not something that has ever really crossed my. is this happening more. more now? should we be worried ? well now? should we be worried? well norfolk has always had problem with sinkholes . it's a known uk with sinkholes. it's a known uk area for sinkholes is exactly what you were saying . you have what you were saying. you have chalk, you have some. none of those rocks are especially hard . they they they dilute very quickly with water. what happens is that you get underground where these water keeps basically taking away part of the sand part of the chalk and eventually the top cannot hold the ground and sinks . okay. and the ground and sinks. okay. and i mean, what can we do to stop the plight the sinkhole in the norfolk area area , that's norfolk area area, that's a million, million pounds question. it's very difficult.
4:55 pm
you can you can put some grouting and you can sort of routinely refill those holes. and i think that's what has been done previously. but unfortunately, we live in a very what country. so if the conditions different, if it was to be there, would be less likely happen. but with water, this this carry on occurring before accurately. what would your message the people of norfolk be? because you know, from where i'm sitting, i think you can't just live your life wondering whether or not you're going to going to get sucked into a sinkhole . you know you into a sinkhole. you know you can't live your life wondering whether you're going to hit whether you're going to get hit by bus. can't live your by a bus. you can't live your wondering whether or not wondering about whether or not mother to eat you mother earth is to eat you alive. know, i think you've alive. you know, i think you've just got to crack on, haven't you? well, you. yes. i mean, after period? after really, what period? if you you know, if you're you maybe you know, if you're really worried , that's fine. but really worried, that's fine. but one of these rice hellenistic tends to be heavy object on top of the ground that caused these sinkholes and they can be very
4:56 pm
fast happening but sometimes they too slow when you start to see these like this. but basically ground sinking is not always a hold that immediately look common. thank you very much for explaining exactly what sinkholes are , how they cause, sinkholes are, how they cause, why norfolk is affected , and why norfolk is affected, and exactly how terrified of them we be. excellent stuff. comments along. i was a reader of volcanology and communication and i mean , fantastic, isn't it and i mean, fantastic, isn't it that we get. i'm must i have never honestly really spent any amount of time worrying about sinkholes but maybe that's just because i don't around norfolk that much . here we go shaun's in that much. here we go shaun's in search. i brush my teeth every morning and every the water runs down the sinkhole. sorry for being silly, shaun. it's a high brow show. this might . okay, if brow show. this might. okay, if you're to in touch, you're going to get in touch, keep vaiews@gbnews.uk keep it real. vaiews@gbnews.uk i've got loads coming your way and much more. ladies and much, much more. ladies gentlemen, of gentlemen, including a lot of people getting in touch. gentlemen, including a lot of pe0|easter getting in touch. gentlemen, including a lot of pe0|easter egg getting in touch. gentlemen, including a lot of pe0|easter egg pricesg in touch. gentlemen, including a lot of pe0|easter egg prices goingyuch. gentlemen, including a lot of pe0|easter egg prices going up.. the easter egg prices going up. complaining this must be a thing. people complaining the pnces thing. people complaining the prices but the amount prices are going. but the amount of you're for

4:59 pm
5:00 pm
oh, okay. welcome back, everybody. it'sjust oh, okay. welcome back, everybody. it's just on 5 pm. you're watching me. patrick christys on gb news. i've got an action packed final hour of this show. here's what's on the menu? so afghanistan , embassy. because so afghanistan, embassy. because thousands been told thousands of them have been told going to leave going to have to leave the hotels staying in hotels they've been staying in and just accept whatever accommodation given or accommodation they're given or rent to themselves. homeless. do you? that's fair enough. it does also growing also come, as there is growing discontent in cornwall just discontent in cornwall now, just about so the list of places migrants hotels that and has very we're expecting to take a press conference from northern ireland with police chiefs there because the terror has been raised to severe just before joe biden visits. and in fact , on biden visits. and in fact, on cue, we're going to go live now to the nine and why police are
5:01 pm
holding a press conference in light increased terror light of the increased terror threat . and it means that the threat. and it means that the threat. and it means that the threat in northern ireland from now, security has moved likely to attack is highly likely. this is part of an ongoing process of monitoring the threat of northern ireland, which conducted by m15 . we have spoken conducted by m15. we have spoken publicly about the number of attacks that have taken place recent months and there have been seven attacks since this threat was altered in march 22, not least. most recently, the attack on my colleague dci john caldwell in february. it's important for me to say to the communities today that the psni supported partners will relentlessly pursue those who seek to cause harm and terrorise our community. those who seek to attack police officers, other members of the security services here in northern ireland. i want to pay tribute to the community today for their fortitude in having to deal with this threat level. and also my colleagues level. and also to my colleagues , in police service , friends in the police service and services who will work
5:02 pm
and other services who will work against threat. we're not going to be deterred from providing our visible, accessible , our visible, accessible, responsive policing to the community. we're determined not to go backwards. northern ireland has made progress over the last number of years as is policing the threat level was severe for a number years . severe for a number of years. unfortunately, we are somewhat used to it doesn't mean used to it, but it doesn't mean we accept it. it means we have to work harder to get it to a level that is far more acceptable. effectively means eradication of terror ism and so forth from our communities and we're determined to do that in a way supports communities and works with communities. thank you but this point do anything unexpected around easter or no. what this means is that attacks are highly likely. so we've seen are highly likely. so we've seen a number of attacks really over the last six, seven months. and so the message to northern ireland today and to the police service and to other partners is attacks are likely and certainly the message to those of us here sort of at the front of this.
5:03 pm
certainly the police services that have to treat this that we have to treat this threat we threat seriously and we will respond . do you have the budget respond. do you have the budget to be able to deal with this? so our national security effort is funded, additional security funding, and that has been baseline next three baseline for the next three years. you know, we have the years. so you know, we have the money to deal with this, but we are on record saying that are on record in saying that resources and money for the for the entire replacing under the entire replacing is under a lot so want to reassure lot of. so i want to reassure people that we've we stepped things up over the last month we will continue to face into this. there may come a point where we have difficult choices, have to make difficult choices, but going to prioritise but we're going to prioritise keeping safe but we're going to prioritise keejissues safe but we're going to prioritise keejissues this safe but we're going to prioritise keejissues this and safe and issues like this and prioritise keeping our officers here deliver the fight here to deliver the fight to placing in main thing. placing them in the main thing. but this threat for the police service, get service, making sure we get tackles that , we with tackles that, we deal with domestic violence, with domestic violence, we deal with sexual offences, we deal with road stuff, we road traffic order stuff, we deal with antisocial behaviour. road traffic order stuff, we de'we'rei antisocial behaviour. road traffic order stuff, we de'we're there .ocial behaviour. road traffic order stuff, we de'we're there foral behaviour. road traffic order stuff, we de'we're there for ourahaviour. road traffic order stuff, we de'we're there for our community so we're there for our community and doing so we have to take and in doing so we have to take measures to protect ourselves because know is a because we do know there is a small people in very small group of people in a very small group of people in a very small would be keen small but who would be keen murder police officers do
5:04 pm
murder police officers to do that what they're trying to that. and what they're trying to do being losers is to do here folks being losers is to stop placing. they want people not prosecuted for all the not to be prosecuted for all the offences i've just talked about. so our job, job to so ourjob, my job is to make sure serve you properly sure that we serve you properly , community safe, and , keep the community safe, and in will the in doing so we will bring the resources to bear to, keep our officers and community officers safe and the community have to do. the ambition may be there. there something will have to get to stage . there's to get to some stage. there's always possibility , always the possibility, something giving some stage. something giving us some stage. but a high priority for but this is a high priority for us. want listening us. i don't want listening to this who intent this today. who is intent carrying out terrorist attacks to we are going be to think that we are going be anything less than entirely focussed relentless focussed and totally relentless in them and bringing focussed and totally relentless in to them and bringing focussed and totally relentless in to justice?| and bringing focussed and totally relentless in to justice? that's ringing focussed and totally relentless in to justice? that's the ing them to justice? that's the bafis them to justice? that's the basis there. i how worried basis there. i mean, how worried should people ? well, primary should people? well, the primary focus of these of these attacks is your police service. so you should be worried for your police service. we've also, of the senior the last ten years, senior prison service as well. prison service attacked as well. so you care about a police so if you care about a police service, then should be service, then you should be worried. i'm not wouldn't worried. i'm not i wouldn't encourage people to be choosy, concerned safety concerned about their own safety broader that this is broader than that, this is merely focussed upon the likes
5:05 pm
of the police service and the prison service and other agencies . prison service and other agencies. but community agencies. but the community should concerned that terrorists want to disrupt our life, that they want to carry out attacks, that they want to effective that they want to stop effective placing, they want to stop effective justice system. and therefore, that. there concerned about that. is there any advice then for police officers that will be resisted ? officers that will be resisted? well, we give advice here to our officers on our staff after john was shot. i and we are encouraging to be vigilant. we are set are encouraging them to not set patterns they can and all the usual advice we give. but equally, we're also encouraging our not to deter from our officers not to deter from serving the community. i mean we want to protect our public and we're going to do that on sometimes i'll put it a risk. and that's why you have a group of courageous men and women in the police service supported by police who every day come into these buildings. one thing in mind to protect our community
5:06 pm

5:10 pm
for the time being since some 200 migrants moved into the barras hotel on the seafront , barras hotel on the seafront, it's been a town on guard and divided . those divisions now divided. those divisions now getting personal getting angry, getting personal getting angry, getting violent people here even know who they are. had an abuse. locals calling them fascists face. it's caused a lot of unrest . the town, a lot of . a unrest. the town, a lot of. a lot of conflict. it's done a lot it's not done very well for newquay . you know, we've got newquay. you know, we've got a huge homeless problem in newquay. we've got a huge homeless problem. then we've got people, that you people, locals that are, you know having a hard enough time? it is with the present living day crisis that's going on homeless like this man. i've been on the streets 20 years and at the end of the day night they've been here 10 minutes or however long it took for them to get over here. and then on the register to put into accommodation straight away with benefits and offload and three
5:11 pm
meals a day and said, what about the people , about the servicemen the people, about the servicemen that out there that like food for country? what about . lord for country? what about. lord what about people that haven't got enough to survive anymore the whole debate about where house refugees or in fact whether they are refugees at or whether they are refugees at or whether they're economic migrants is one that now for the people of newquay is beginning to sound person and it ties in with the whole issue of the cost of living people here are finding life very tough at the moment and it's getting emotional , moment and it's getting emotional, so we all should stick together as part of a team . it's not fair. it causes depression and but the thing the police are not helping at the minute with people who are depressed and i'm suffering with depression myself. sorry, i might get upset. it depression myself. sorry, i might get upset . it feels too might get upset. it feels too much for some. it feels they're losing their town . some tell me losing their town. some tell me they're afraid to up for fear of
5:12 pm
being called fascist. others tell me cornwall's a welcoming county refugees welcome here one and all my had to live like they have to live. i get in a boat and risk it i would in a statement newquay mp steve double said what is deeply regrettable is that many of the people both sides not people from both sides are not newquay and travelled into the area in order to protest. i don't believe these people reflective of the vast majority people who live and work in who. in my experience have been incredibly tolerant of the whole situation . the divisions are situation. the divisions are certainly deep the wounds raw . certainly deep the wounds raw. the hope is they can heal before . the tourist season begins and newquay can start surfing more. jeff moody . gb news yes indeed. jeff moody. gb news yes indeed. well, i'm going to take you over now to gb news political editor darren mccaffrey. he is going to
5:13 pm
talk to us a bit about. the fact that some afghan asylum seekers have that they're have been told that they're going have to move out of the going to have to move out of the hotel accommodation, that they've in since fleeing they've been in since fleeing they've been in since fleeing the taliban 20 months they've been in since fleeing the talibithey're 20 months they've been in since fleeing the talibithey're going months they've been in since fleeing the talibithey're going out ths they've been in since fleeing the talibithey're going out to; ago. and they're going out to accept whatever accommodation that basically . that they're given basically. and if don't do that, then and if they don't do that, then going be made homeless. this going to be made homeless. this has caused a lot of controversy, not least in the inbox. i see gbviews@gbnews.uk darren. yeah, i mean, this really i mean, is this really practical. why are these people going what do know going to live? what do we know about well it's been about it? well it's been announced by the government this afternoon. essentially, they've given up to 8000 afghan refugees, a three month notice penod refugees, a three month notice period , saying that the current period, saying that the current temporary accommodation of hotels, that's costing 1.2 million quid a day is no longer sustainable and that these afghans will need to find a new accommodation. now the government clearly going to help with that as all local councils the expectation , the hope is of the expectation, the hope is of course that none these people will end up homeless. they affect were given safe passage to uk after the fall of the
5:14 pm
to the uk after the fall of the afghan government in the summer of 2021 with the taliban rolled in thanks to kabul. many in there thanks to kabul. many of them, of course, would have helped british forces during the war in the and in end the government's again bought this is that it's not doing the government any good it's not doing taxpayers any good but ultimately johnny mercer this afternoon the veterans secretary also saying it's not doing the afghan refugees themselves any good. he said in the house of commons the british hotels are not and never designed to be a permanent solution . he says the permanent solution. he says the lengthy getting them lengthy delays in getting them rehoused prevented rehoused has prevented some afghans properly afghans from properly putting down roots , committing to down roots, committing to employment, integrating communities and has created uncertainty for thousands . this uncertainty for thousands. this news will be welcomed by some, particularly those that that the cost is on sustainable. but for others they fear that it goes too far. the refugee council this afternoon said they're concerned by the plans that it could leave people at risk of
5:15 pm
homelessness in the. i think this has come to down a practical decision made by the government that it can no longer afford to these refugees in hotels that it is just not politically expedient and that those rooms might be needed for other refugees . but also the big other refugees. but also the big question facing the government is will there be enough accommodation across the country to move these afghan refugees into because in the end many of them will have large families and we know that for people in this country there's a bit of a housing crisis. so it will be an uphill task for central government and indeed for local councils to lose. we've spoken a lot about this issue about the afghan seekers being afghan asylum seekers being moved into the communities moved out into the communities and been getting on that. and i've been getting on that. i'm be going to the i'm going to be going to the inbox shortly. but rishi sunak was actually grilled, in was actually grilled, grilled in front of witnesses stronger word, as say politely at word, as some say politely at the committee a variety the liaison committee a variety of different other as . of different other things as. well, wasn't seasonal. what took place for. yeah he was place there for. yeah he was indeed when i was 45 minutes of
5:16 pm
grilling by the top mp in parliament. when i say top end, i mean the chairs of the various different select committees that shadow the government departments here in parliament and. there were lots of discussions about the economy, about the state of public services, strikes, etc. but there was also continued focus on the small boats crisis with the prime minister defending the use of the word by the home secretary suella braverman. in describing the small crisis. actually the question i put to the prime minister i was the prime minister when i was with him in, the a couple of with him in, the us, a couple of weeks ago is answer. i think she's saying that in the end things were getting pretty tough in the channel terms of the numbers involved going up three, four, four, four. we still a couple of years ago though in the end he also wouldn't commit to numbers that might be sent to rwanda overall, to numbers that might be sent to rwanda overall , whether it was rwanda overall, whether it was on immigration or whether it was on immigration or whether it was on the economy or the commitments he's made as prime minister it was a bit of a snooze fest . i kind of suggested
5:17 pm
snooze fest. i kind of suggested it would be a bit earlier on today. he's quite good at detail. rishi sunak whatever you think about him he was able to by most of the by the way, most of the questions didn't any major questions didn't make any major gaffes sometimes difficult gaffes sometimes quite difficult . by the select . his grilling by the select committee we committee chairs. i think we should be pleased with his should not be pleased with his performance this afternoon. very, very is never a snooze fest when you're around . darren fest when you're around. darren darren mccaffrey, our political editor from westminster. right. okay now, in the last 10 minutes, the deputy constable of the police service in northern ireland addressed the press in belfast. terror threat in belfast. the terror threat in northern ireland has now been raised to severe and he said there is a small number of people who want to kill police officers . it comes following as officers. it comes following as i've just said, that threat being raised to severe and a small number of dissident republicans determined to politically motivated violence . politically motivated violence. just quoting now what the police chief said, that m15 increase the threat from substantial, severe, which means it deems attack to be highly likely . and attack to be highly likely. and the move comes after a series of incidents targeting security
5:18 pm
forces in northern ireland, including the attempted murder of detective chief john caldwell in omagh last month. joining me now, i'm very to say from belfast is the editor of the newsletter. it's ben lowry. ben thank you very much for getting up at very short notice for. so what's going on? what's the what's going on? what's the what's the mood like at the moment really is that any surprise that this threat is severe now or forgive about this but are you a bit used to it? yeah, i think it's an interesting question and i don't that the mood is bad and i don't think the mood is bad in northern ireland because yes, i think northern ireland is used to unusual security situation to an unusual security situation to an unusual security situation to rest of uk of course, to the rest of the uk of course, people under the age 40 really don't have much a memory of the troubles which ended the first irish ceasefires in 1994. and it was sort of largely over by 1998, by the time of the belfast agreement. 25th anniversary is coming up . but i think people it coming up. but i think people it is an unusual does have an unusual security . so i don't
5:19 pm
unusual security. so i don't think that public mood would be i do think, however that the pubuc i do think, however that the public mood when detective chief inspector caldwell was shot in in february last month in omagh, i think there was, you know, alarm and of course are always worried could this a rapid return violence. no indeed no it would appear that whilst the terror threat has been raised to severe from what we can gather from that police press conference that we had earlier, the threat mainly does seem be centred at attacks to, police officers and security services, which indicate your which would indicate your average man and woman in northern ireland going about their daily business fingers crossed wouldn't be in the firing line. really yeah. i think it's important to say. i think it's important to say. i think also important to say think it's also important to say that during in northern that during troubles in northern ireland and i don't want i don't you know, i've grown up and spent almost all of my life. northern ireland don't want to downplay but but you downplay it, but but you know, most the troubles more most years the troubles more people in road people were killed in road accidents than were killed in
5:20 pm
violence. very violence. so it was a very traumatic time northern, but traumatic time for northern, but it never at the level civil it was never at the level civil wars in other countries where there's high there's a really high risk of being obviously in being killed. obviously in certain at certain times, certain places at certain times, there risk of being there has a high risk of being killed on the streets at the moment. threat is focussed moment. the threat is focussed on police officers. mean there on police officers. i mean there have assessments have been security assessments of in the new of the number people in the new ira the group that ira that's is the group that claimed attack on police claimed the attack on police officer. how many people are actually and actually involved in that? and they say about 500 supporters. this a recent within this is a fairly recent within the years assessment of the last two years assessment of them and about 100 who them and about 100 people who are carry are able to actually carry attacks. that's tiny attacks. now that's tiny compared to the provisional ira dunng compared to the provisional ira during , the troubles. but i was during, the troubles. but i was speaking before i came on here because i wanted to phone on various security sources and so on, i was speaking to a senior former policeman who was very well rehearsed in. the and combating the ira , old ira, the combating the ira, old ira, the provisional ira and he said that to have to he was very struck down alarmed by the fact that there were two gunmen involved in the shooting and that, you
5:21 pm
know, suggested you know that this very few people he was pointing out actually, even dunng pointing out actually, even during the troubles involved during the troubles got involved in the shooting. so it's not anything like the troubles . but anything like the troubles. but there are people in a lot of part these things who are troubled, who are concerned. yeah, did thank very, yeah, look, he did thank very, very much for that for and coming on our show next year, bringing wonderful insight bringing such wonderful insight really . steve bannon, really into. steve bannon, cheers. ben lowry there, who is the editor of the newsletter, which in belfast, that which based in belfast, and that is the fact that is in relation to the fact that the threat in northern the terror threat in northern ireland has now raised to ireland has now been raised to severe. gave us the severe. so they gave us the latest. heading back latest. now we're heading back to court where prince to the high court where prince harry for the second day of harry has for the second day of his privacy case against the daily mail. i'll bring you up to date what other date on that and what other celebs of celebs wanted and. also, of course, gwyneth paltrow course, is the gwyneth paltrow trial course, is the gwyneth paltrow tnal and she course, is the gwyneth paltrow trial and she emerges, trial as and when she emerges, i imagine, might give you some pictures that, pictures and footage of that, that just absolute that is just an absolute catastrophe .ofa court case. catastrophe .of a court case. obviously and obviously patrick christys and this gb news. jacob this is gb news. i'm jacob rees—mogg, the member of parliament for north east somerset and former government minister the minister for years walked the corridors power in both corridors of power in both

5:23 pm
5:24 pm
5:25 pm
channel pfince channel prince harry is at the royal high court for day two of the court case into alleged phone tapping by the publisher of the daily mail. yesterday, the duke of sussex made, a surprise appearance at the court alongside, elton john. alongside, sir elton john. he's also against also legal action against associated newspapers and is believed to be the first time that the duke has been in the uk since the funeral of the late queen last september. with me now is gb news is national ella costello , who has been all this costello, who has been all this case for us. so yes, look at
5:26 pm
what's on. well, good afternoon to you, patrick. and yes, again , prince harry brought the star quality on day to this preliminary hearing in the privacy case against newspapers as he made his way in the side entrance time, which is probably why his advice from, his security, bearing in mind that he did bump into a photographer when he made his way through the front door on monday . when he made his way through the front door on monday. but he was waving and smiling at the press as he made his way into to court today. he does want to be seen by the media public by the to media taking a public stand against press, intrude . stand against press, intrude. john and patrick, we have just got a bit more of an insight into personal crusade against intrusion into prince harry's life , because i've been given , life, because i've been given, as have many other members of the press , written witness the press, written witness statements for the claimants in this . and i just had a look this. and i just had a look through prince harry, the duke of sussex, and he has in his
5:27 pm
written statement that the royal family withheld from him phone hacking when he was a working royal. he says that they didn't want to bring a claim , as it want to bring a claim, as it were, to open a can of worms. this was submitted this written statement before the civil claim against newspapers was brought. the duke of sussex went on to say that he was conditioned to accept that his role was never complain , never explain when complain, never explain when deaung complain, never explain when dealing with the press. and he went on to speak another hacking claim against news group newspapers that they published the sun and prince harry writes that he became aware then that there was a claim that he could bnng there was a claim that he could bring this was 2018. he that the institution was without a doubt withholding information from me for a long about phone hacking that has only become clear and recent years as i pursued my own
5:28 pm
claim with different legal advice and representations. there you go . that's just some there you go. that's just some of the insight that we got in that written statement that has been submitted ahead of this civil claim that we're seeing in the high court at the moment. but that makes sense, bearing in mind. behaviour that we've mind. the behaviour that we've seen harry the seen from prince harry in the past couple days, he has sat past couple of days, he has sat listening very intently to barristers sides of the barristers on both sides of the courtroom , making on his courtroom, making notes on his notepad and also having a very conversations with his legal team he wants to be across these legal arguments that is very , legal arguments that is very, very clear to see. so it will very clear to see. so it will very interesting, patrick, to see if he makes his way into the high court again for day three of this prelim and free hearing . it's expected to last until when a judge will decide then if this case thrown out as associated newspapers like it to do to be so or whether it does proceed a full trial . indeed. proceed a full trial. indeed. ashleigh, thank you very, very marcelo will be keeping us updated when we get any more
5:29 pm
info on this case. it will no doubt be gripping the press or rather period of time. some of that on national gb news is national reports that now i just want to delve into my inbox because this relates to a debate that we're about to have when i come back, which is about the what you say eviction is probably a bit strong the moving out the moving of afghan asylum seekers around 8000 of them and a variety different asylum seeker hotels across the country that been told that they're going to have to accept whatever accommodation they are given or render themselves homeless. and i was asking you, what you make of of because there is of all of this, because there is a distinction here. there is an important distinction between the people who were in the afghan got hotel. afghan asylum as they got hotel. so specifically those hotels afghan asylum as they got hotel. so specif be ly those hotels afghan asylum as they got hotel. so specif be honestiose hotels afghan asylum as they got hotel. so specif be honest ,yse hotels afghan asylum as they got hotel. so specif be honest , quite tels afghan asylum as they got hotel. so specif be honest , quite als afghan asylum as they got hotel. so specif be honest , quite a lot and let's be honest, quite a lot of the other hotels , these are of the other hotels, these are people who genuinely fled in the immediate aftermath of the taliban, retaking over afghanistan. and a lot of these people helped us, supposedly helped us during the war efforts, etc, over that. so we do i think it's fair to say, oh
5:30 pm
the least , a relatively the least, a relatively substantial debt of gratitude for that. and but i think marcus has made a good point here, which is the he says that these people will have come over will have given them safety he says it will have given place to stay in around 20 months. in a hotel for around 20 months. and if they are offered a house, they should take it no matter what that is. otherwise it's their make themselves their choice to make themselves homeless. if they decide to homeless. and if they decide to do so be it and rob is do it, then so be it and rob is going to say it's all very well turfing outs . migrants from turfing outs. migrants from hotels , where are they going to hotels, where are they going to go and are they going to compromise an ailing social housing availability further? and, rob, this is a vital point because this is really a massive point contention. well, these people have and they're people already have and they're staying so they have to be put somewhere. that's that. okay. so staying so they have to be put sonquestion that's that. okay. so staying so they have to be put sonquestion is, t's that. okay. so staying so they have to be put sonquestion is, well, at. okay. so staying so they have to be put sonquestion is, well, where|y. so the question is, well, where they go and they're going to be offered of different offered a variety of different housing, going be housing, that's going to be either social housing. so either newly social housing. so that's of contention that's a point of contention already a lot of people, say already for a lot of people, say building new homes. i mean, how many developments many planning developments in
5:31 pm
your cancelled many planning developments in your of cancelled many planning developments in your of nimbys:elled many planning developments in your of nimbys:elle stuff but because of nimbys and stuff but now build stuff for now we can build stuff for people who've maybe just arrived in the country will be what in the country that will be what a of are saying a lot of people are saying there's the they will occupy there's the oh they will occupy only end of the only the lower end of the private rental sector so people who are maybe struggling to afford to get on they don't even talk about housing a lot it's a buy houses at the lower end of the private rental sector they will be maybe outbid by essentially office and essentially the home office and i think rob you make an interesting point as well, which is not about the housing is not just about the housing availability, also about availability, but also about pubuc availability, but also about public those areas public services in those areas as appointments, as schools, gp appointments, etc. so gb views gbnews.uk etc. etc. so gb views gbnews.uk that same when i come back, we will be a debate on that topic, which is it fair and just to be moving people out of the asylum seeker hotels and putting them into the community. so if they don't accept that housing, then they will be made homeless. what do you make of that gbviews@gbnews.uk i am also going you some going to bring you some incredibly dramatic, devastating , it must be said, coming from nashville on that tragic
5:32 pm
shooting. a school . six shooting. it was a school. six people were killed, at least three of them were nine year old children. the perpetrator was a former pupil at that school, was born a girl and was transitioning hundreds into manhood. we have got dramatic new footage out of body cam footage from the police who incredibly bravely stormed the building there and did see to the threat . first, it's time for the threat. first, it's time for the threat. first, it's time for the latest headlines with public . patrick. thank you. and hello to our top stories this hour. mi5 to our top stories this hour. m15 has increased its terrorism threat level in northern ireland from substantial to severe, meaning an attack is highly likely and that roughly a year after britain lowered the threat level for northern ireland, the first time in more than a decade deputy chief constable , mark deputy chief constable, mark hamilton said in the last hour , hamilton said in the last hour, police service of northern ireland are working to make the community safer. i want to pay tribute to the community today for their fortitude having to
5:33 pm
deal with this threat level and also to my colleagues and friends, the police service and other services who will work against this threat. we're not going to be deterred from providing visible, providing our visible, accessible responsive places to the community. we're determined not to go backwards. northern ireland made great progress over the last number of as is policing. the threat level was severe for a number of years. unfortunately, we are used to it, but it doesn't mean we accept it. it means we have to work even harder to get it to a level that far more acceptable . level that far more acceptable. well, in other news, the education is urging teaching to accept the latest pay offer and to end the threat industrial action. the government's £1,000 one off payment for and half a cent pay rise for next year. but the national education union has recommended its members reject the deal and instead go on strike on april the 27th and may the second. do you think any decisions on democratic mr. are you going to start as candidate
5:34 pm
. journalist questions to the former labour leader jeremy corbyn just then , who's been corbyn just then, who's been banned from running as a labour mp at the next general election . labour's national executive committee has approved sir keir starmer's motion to stop mr. corbyn standing as a candidate. mr. corbyn was suspended from the parliamentary party in 2020 over his reaction to a report into an anti—semitic scheme which found labour had broken equalities law. he could though , still run as an independent . , still run as an independent. those are the latest news headunes. those are the latest news headlines. i'm those are the latest news headlines . i'm back at six with headlines. i'm back at six with more. see . more. see. the oc now new footage has just been released from a body of one of the police officers who . went the police officers who. went into the school after the shooting in nashville. this is the school shooting where six people were killed, several,
5:35 pm
several just nine years old as well. now, the police officers once tried to detain the shooter. television viewers will able to see this footage. now it is on police officers, body cam footage initially coming in, going up stairs , guns drawn going up the stairs, guns drawn and they can hear the sirens going off in that school. and they're basically trying to go through to find through school to try to find where shooter is. and it is where the shooter is. and it is just absolutely devastating . see just absolutely devastating. see this? the police first entered the building through the front door and they just went through continue to walk through the corridors . unfortunately and corridors. unfortunately and thankfully all of this, of course, is pixelated but unfortunately, the police officers had to step what appears to be the of children in order to get closer to where they believe the to be that gunman is a former pupil of the school. the school , which caters school. the school, which caters for 3 to 11 year olds, is a christian school in nashville in tennessee. and was the one to 90, tennessee. and was the one to go, transitioned into manhood, as it were , and then went back
5:36 pm
as it were, and then went back into the school . and we're into the school. and we're coming up now for our television viewers towards the moment where where they find the individual in question was still fire and they are actual moments of the shootout between the gunman and the police. we will not show to you for obvious reasons. it is, of course, incredibly distressing to see. but this is the body cam footage of those police officers and i think it's worth watching. well, just taking a moment to commend the bravery officers involved, bravery these officers involved, they to no they will have very little to no idea at what they were idea at about what they were walking quite. probably walking into quite. probably would whether would not have known whether or not a multiple gunman, not there was a multiple gunman, what earth the situation was . what earth the situation was. and we're going to leave it there . this is about to be the there. this is about to be the moments the actual shootout. moments of the actual shootout. so with me now is earnest so look with me now is earnest cover said of amnesty international us's director of gun violence prevention thank you very much and it's great have you on the show. joe biden now come out and called i believe for ban on a variety of
5:37 pm
different automatic assault rifle is that correct. just first, before we talk about that, you're going to have to educate me a bit on gun law. i'm afraid. don't i don't really know that much about it. but your emotions when it comes to yet school shooting . yeah thanks yet school shooting. yeah thanks having me it's another school shooting right where 44 days from michigan state university shooting took place in lansing, michigan, in east michigan. and that was at a university . here that was at a university. here we are again, as i say, state. 44 days later, we're the same thing now at an elementary school with nine year olds that were as they went to school and happened at who happened to be at a church. and so you have two dynamics. they're not only a school, but also church as so it is again as the that i do on a day to day basis, consistently see and witness these that are
5:38 pm
taking place on a constant basis here in the country . no, taking place on a constant basis here in the country. no, indeed. and mystery surrounds , the exact and mystery surrounds, the exact motive at the moment is rise apart from the fact that this individual was a former pupil , individual was a former pupil, is a christian school, and they were initially attending as a girl. he then into being a man and as audrey hale, he's now 28 years old, a tv we'll be able to see images of the moment that audrey hale ends at about school. i previously just shot through the window towards the corridor there. but is there any more information coming out about that assault last reports that i've seen? no i do understand from the police chief there was a manifesto that was created that they found out yesterday as they started investigating this person. there was also a map that i understand the police stated that they
5:39 pm
found as . and so i believe all found as. and so i believe all of those that motive is still being developed in trying to figure out why. but it was it does seem to be a planned attack and not just something that happenstance. earnest i ask you a bit about how easy it is for an individual to get hold heavy duty . do we know anything about duty. do we know anything about the kind of weapon that this used in this shooting , how easy used in this shooting, how easy it is to get hold of and what joe biden and quite possibly yourself , i joe biden and quite possibly yourself, i would imagine want done about things like this yeah so these weapons many times are what we call assault weapons they're automatic typically used our ar 15 weapons and, they are legally able to be purchased here in the country according to the state. you be as young as 18 and purchase one of these automatic weapons are typically and made for military use and so
5:40 pm
it is easily obtained they anyone can purchase it right now joe biden along with amnesty international and other organisations are calling for an assault weapons ban . there is assault weapons ban. there is legislation currently within the congress that would these weapons and individuals that are would not be able to obtain these weapons only use it would be for what they were made for which is the military. and so we're looking to hopefully that passed in the legislature and it's going to be a tough battle . course it is. and i'm in i regularly report here on things like, you know, the knife crime epidemic that we have this country or general violence . i country or general violence. i thank on a daily basis , we thank god on a daily basis, we do have anything like the do not have anything like the same with guns that you guys have over that because it is a completely different level . can completely different level. can i just ask you, earnest as well for word about those for a little word about those brave officers who have
5:41 pm
brave police officers who have stormed into this school will have presumably got the calls over their radio to say there is a gunman on the loose in the school. one would imagine very little additional on top of that. and they just straight that. and they just go straight in there, not what to expect, guns drawn and, deal with a threat. i mean, those people just amongst the bravest people in the world. yeah it's an applaud and a thanks for their service for work that what they've done you know luckily they've done you know luckily they able to get in and quickly i believe it was a matter of minutes when the initial call happened to the time they actually breached the building and so we are thankful for these officers for doing their job and doing it as quickly because they probably saved many lives that happened you know within that school or yesterday and so we most definitely thank them for the work that they they have done on that but we most definitely need the banning of these assault weapons here in us. and that most definitely would not only keep individuals
5:42 pm
and kids safe , but those police and kids safe, but those police officers as well go out and. thank you very, very much for joining us. as much appreciate to get you over that from from state side as it were earnest covers in those amnesty international's usa director of gun violence prevention. and yeah, just watching it as you can see that break here on the us shooting three pupils were killed all nine years old christine school, which caters for pupils at 3 to 11 that were aduu for pupils at 3 to 11 that were adult victims as well. all in sixties actually who were at that school and the perpetrator is a former attended that school as a girl born a girl transitioning manhood as it were 28 year old audrey hale. and they , of course, were killed as they, of course, were killed as well during this particular incident . right. okay. well, incident. right. okay. well, we'll move on that now. and the government's is going to crack down on rowdy us. that's right. so laws could give landlords the power to evict unruly within two
5:43 pm
weeks, i suspect this is good news for people watching now . news for people watching now. they might not get on with neighbours because they keep having big raucous parties or maybe airbnb being their flats or house as well. what do or their house as well. what do you this? is it, right? i'm you make this? is it, right? i'm patrick
5:44 pm
5:45 pm
5:46 pm
gb news. welcome back, everybody . now welcome back, everybody. now landlords across england and wales be given additional powers in order to troublesome tenants and the government proposals to address anti—social. and the government proposals to address anti—social . the address anti—social. the measures would cover tenants who play measures would cover tenants who play loud music, use drugs , play loud music, use drugs, cause damage to their property or behind on their rent and all new private tenancy agreements will have to include clauses that specifically ban social behaviour with homeowners who rent out their properties on the airbnb website. having to register on a new database that will make it easier for local councils to deal with complaints about guests. as can tell . about guests. as you can tell. there's quite a lot for us to
5:47 pm
get stuck into here and want me to do it as landlord and property. it's richard blanco. richard you very much. right. okay, this thing okay, so is this a good thing for landlords who currently have someone, frankly kicking their house smithereens and? they house to smithereens and? they can't that. is a good can't get that. it is a good thing, you know, the moment landlords tend to use no fault eviction, which means we give tenants need tenants months notice if we need them leave because of them to leave because of anti—social behaviour that is going this year going to be abolished this year through reform bill. through the renters reform bill. the will go through the legislation will go through this and that's why we're this year and that's why we're looking to government to bring in so what in new provisions. so what they're is that they're saying is that they're going speed courts, going to speed up the courts, they're going prioritise they're going to prioritise anti—social behaviour cases , anti—social behaviour cases, they're also going to set out principles by judges must principles by which judges must decide and reduce the decide cases and reduce the nofice decide cases and reduce the notice you have to give from four weeks to two weeks. okay, so that should improve things, but we're really worried about whether the courts are going to be able to cope. yeah, well, i mean there is that isn't there. can you just give all people's. no, listen is a little bit of an insight into some the issues, the horror really that the horror stories really that landlords yeah
5:48 pm
landlords have to face. yeah i mean, like noisy parties, mean, things like noisy parties, cannabis factories, brothels that go into the kind of salubrious kind of stuff confirmed my landlord has never had to deal with any of this by the just before that gets in but yeah but it can be a nightmare because you know where you live, you're sort of stuck and you can't really get away from it and you've got to get get it for work in the morning. and so on. also, if you're living in shared house where you're renting a room and you know, room in a house and you know, one of your housemates is a nightmare causing nightmare and causing anti—social can be anti—social behaviour can be really, for you really, really difficult for you as concern is it as well. the concern is that it takes a good six months at the moment evict and most cases moment to evict and most cases at the discretion judge . at the discretion of the judge. and judges are reluctant and often judges are reluctant to evict people. so that's why we some tougher legislation we need some tougher legislation on this situation with on this this situation with airbnbs because understand that a lot of people who maybe have lived a sleepy for years lived in a sleepy for years decide that going to airbnb that house and a lot of the neighbours can be quite annoyed
5:49 pm
because before you know it's a pool party taking place they've got a hot in the back garden. this is this is much for neighbours as well as landlords. well it is for neighbours too. i mean obviously antisocial has a really on neighbours really big impact on neighbours with the idea is to with airbnb. the idea is to introduce a register for short term lets airbnb . do you say term lets airbnb. do you say that they have banned parties so you're not allowed to have parties airbnb? and also parties in airbnb? and also there's hotline for neighbours there's a hotline for neighbours to call airbnb , say yes if you to call airbnb, say yes if you are concerned . and they also are concerned. and they also have various kind algorithms i think in their system that works out whether you might europol , out whether you might europol, you might be trying to have a party you know. so how algorithm does that but somehow it works. it's just very quietly, very telling. is it going to be all right? they're not going to. it's a good ordinary, law abiding tenants like me. i'm not going to up getting served, going to end up getting served, you as out on your you know, as out on your backside and say, we absolutely. no, i mean, these no, no, these i mean, these provisions are pretty failsafe. if good paying if you're a good tenant paying your knock knock, causing your rent, knock knock, causing problems to anyone, then you're safe. lovely stuff. thank you
5:50 pm
very much. great have in very much. great to have you in the richard there the the studio. richard there on the latest the landlords reforms, latest of the landlords reforms, i. latest of the landlords reforms, |. right. latest of the landlords reforms, i. right. okay. finally now thousands afghan refugees will be this for a while be building up this for a while to given a minimum of three to be given a minimum of three months notice to move out of hotel and into alternative accommodation . this is under accommodation. this is under plans detailed the veterans minister johnny mercer made announcement house of announcement in the house of commons earlier this afternoon. i unacceptable and i mean, it's unacceptable and unsustainable thousands to unsustainable for thousands to be living in hotels but if these people refuse to , accept or fail people refuse to, accept or fail to accept their offer , they will to accept their offer, they will be left to find alternative housing independently, raising that they might be made homeless. so discuss this further. i am now joined by the of the centre for migration economic prosperity is stephen wolf and refugee rights campaigner and the first british afghan conservative candidates in the uk is darius me. thank you very much darius. i'll start with it fair that these with you. is it fair that these afghan refugees going to be told to just whatever accommodation that give? or do you think? i think was i mean we need to move away from relying much on
5:51 pm
hotels. no, everyone will be able to stay in london and think that we need to come up with a new solution . however, i don't new solution. however, i don't think fair we should be think it's fair we should be giving refugees from afghanistan the option of either accepting a home that government will offer them or that they're going to have to an alternative. i have to find an alternative. i mean, essentially, we're them to accept the offer or to face homelessness and let's not forget that these these are people who've who are already traumatised, already been displaced by war and conflict. we promised them a warm welcome and they they shouldn't be treated like this. this is going to to their mental health to add to their mental health issues. this is going to add to anxiety and this is going to create further for these refugees . stephen, i'll you refugees. stephen, i'll let you come to stephen wolf, your come back to stephen wolf, your views. well, look the there is obviously a concern about whenever they're from whenever they're moved from hotels . the reality when you hotels. the reality is when you look at the data that's been published by, the government in the figures it's the home office figures it's called as y02. you will see that dunng called as y02. you will see that during the course of the year ,
5:52 pm
during the course of the year, 8600 afghans were offered accommodation and in approximately 34 councils across the country and only 254 refused to go to that accommodation . and to go to that accommodation. and so out of the remaining thousand, the idea that we're going to see thousands of people on the streets is really quite laughable. if you look at the statistic six that have already gone through . in addition, you gone through. in addition, you can actually that the government has decided one to offer the councils extra £250 million, £35 million for new new funding for councils. and we also saw 20 new force, four bedroom houses built by barratt homes last year at a cost of million. so last year the government £655 million. that's an or patrick of £100,000 for each afghan . it's over. now for each afghan. it's over. now i want to get one more in from both you. so i'm going to ask you to be quick, darius, if that's alright. what would you say? people who say look, if
5:53 pm
these people are really genuinely fleeing war they should with whatever we should be happy with whatever we offer them. i what i say to that should be happy with whatever we ofin them. i what i say to that should be happy with whatever we ofin relation what i say to that should be happy with whatever we ofin relation t01at i say to that should be happy with whatever we ofin relation to housing to that should be happy with whatever we ofin relation to housing in that is in relation to housing in particular. i think should have more freedom of choice. don't think to except think it's fair to say, except opfion think it's fair to say, except option or you're going to have to accommodation by yourself. option or you're going to have to a
5:54 pm
