last 13 years by the conservative office. that's left the system desperately short of the system desperately short of the staff. it needs to get patients seen on time . that's patients seen on time. that's led to the highest waiting lists in history of the nhs , the in the history of the nhs, the lowest satisfaction . and lowest patient satisfaction. and what i hear commonly from patients and i experience this a bit myself , my experience with bit myself, my experience with kidney a couple of years kidney cancer, a couple of years ago, people could not be more praising staff. they praising of nhs staff. they think a brilliant think they're doing a brilliant job simply aren't job but they simply aren't enough them . and the king and enough of them. and the king and queen consort will arrive in germany for their state visit this afternoon. they're both expected to receive military honours at the brandenburg gate in berlin, followed a state banquet, hosted by germany's president in the evening. it's charles and camilla's first foreign visitors of the royal family. but the king's 29th trip to germany germany . we're on tv to germany germany. we're on tv onune to germany germany. we're on tv online , dab+ radio and on tune online, dab+ radio and on tune in to this is gb news. now to andrew and beth .

andrew and beth. big day in parliament today. andrew and beth. big day in parliament today . the big day in parliament today. the government is going to announce thousands and thousands of asylum seekers taken out of 400 hotels and put on to places like military bases, disused ferries and the like. so this decision is likely to be popular with many across the country. around 400 hotels are currently accommodating . more than 51,000 accommodating. more than 51,000 asylum seekers. joining us in the studio is the deputy editor of conservativehome henry hill. henry he's definitely the prime minister or on the front foot on immigration. i think a lot of people think that radius it's costing £150 a day to keep the migrants in a hotel. some people are watching this problem. wouldn't it afford to pay £150 for a hotel? but is this policy going to work ? it's definitely going to work? it's definitely better what you need, given it takes ages, to get people through the british asylum system because it can take

several years to process it, which is ridiculous, which is ridiculous and which is something government is something the government is trying legislation. trying address with legislation. but take but currently it can take years and them. and so you and lots of them. and so you need somewhere to put them now. the perfect solution would be a purpose. asylum. estate which the office run, which the home office could run, which could keep people could mean you could keep people in unfortunately, one in that. unfortunately, one blog most don't that and most meps don't want that and that constituency to and the left will go around calling them prison camps. so they haven't been built. and so you have the question to put them. question of where to put them. we've been putting them in hotels, which is very expensive, very and quite very disruptive, and also quite hard if you're hard to police. yeah, if you're worried people absconding hard to police. yeah, if you're worrgoing people absconding hard to police. yeah, if you're worrgoing work)le absconding hard to police. yeah, if you're worrgoing work in absconding hard to police. yeah, if you're worrgoing work in the .conding hard to police. yeah, if you're worrgoing work in the black1g and going to work in the black economy. is not economy. a hotel is not a prison. you can leave it relatively to. easy so this proposal is instead that we will use bases which to use military bases which tend to be ships which be more remote and ships which obviously can move around. obviously you can move around. but secretary james but fire secretary james cleverly leading the cleverly party leading from the front for the government front on this for the government is idea one of is objecting to the idea one of these camps is in his constituency. yes this is basically if he had to if britain had one route problem for so many of the things, it's the fact that meps are like,

yes, but not here. yeah, every single time, not here. railways yes, but not here. migrant detention yes but not detention centres? yes but not here. really should have here. that really should have shown more leadership. yeah because ultimately you , you because ultimately you, you know, you doesn't have to be in the middle of town. you can, you can put a military base. a military base is almost definition a former military military base is almost defini isn't a former military military base is almost defini isn't it.| former military military base is almost defini isn't it. precisely. iilitary military base is almost definiisn't it. precisely. andy base, isn't it. precisely. and normally, these aren't normally, you know these aren't like victorian barracks like the old victorian barracks is, which are all right in the middle you a middle of town. you have a military is now out in the military base is now out in the countryside a little bit and. they've got fencing and all the rest it's fine. that's an rest of it. it's fine. that's an obvious put people. obvious place to put people. yeah, it's costing henry at the moment million a as moment £7 million a day. as andrew said, £150 a day per person we know person for hotel. do we know what the costs saving will be with don't know with these measures? don't know if explicit if we've seen an explicit number, would be dubious number, and i would be dubious about from the about it if it came from the government, because obviously they just like it they will try and just like it could be necessarily that much. well, the advantage, well, i suppose the advantage, if a long term investment, if it's a long term investment, it's if you're if you're buying rooms hotels, be paying for rooms in hotels, be paying for those the the those rooms all of the time. the advantage government advantage of a government run

estate there's a higher estate is that there's a higher upfront cost of it up. upfront cost of setting it up. but then you basically you can run free because you're run it free because you're paying run it free because you're paying it for your sort of free costs because. you don't having to private providers. so to pay private providers. so that's would that's where the saving would come. with us as come. tom harwood is with us as well. of this deputy well. instead of this one deputy to tom. when do you think we might get any visuals on these numbers? in a i numbers? because in a way, i take henry's is that we're take henry's point is that we're putting this up front that well, that suggest they think that would suggest they think they're going to continue to need this accommodation. surely the the the issue should be solving the problem, create permanent problem, not create permanent housing, is cheaper. yes, housing, which is cheaper. yes, i think what we're going to hear today from the immigration minister, robert jenrick, is a lot proposals and lot of proposals and explorations really we heard already this morning from the deputy prime minister dominic raab that a lot of these things are being explored or that the intention to look is intention to look at them is there. i don't we're going to necessarily see the full picture today , and that includes whether today, and that includes whether or not there's going to be a barge more moored in some facilities somewhere and whether or not that has already been

procured. the ability to make it fit for human living or exactly precise sites have been selected . we might hear the generality today, but getting down into the detail and the specific things we might have to wait, at least not specifics in the in the legislation , but certainly in legislation, but certainly in the legislation will do is give ministers powers to then go after these particulars . and no after these particulars. and no doubt that is when we're going to see a lot of heat and debate in parliament, particularly from people much like the foreign secretary who may not want facilities in their own areas. thatis facilities in their own areas. that is going to be a big of contention. will labour oppose this project, which is good for the tories? yeah, i think the problem that labour have is that what we constantly guess is people saying actually what you needis people saying actually what you need is like safe and legal routes some. actually routes and some. but actually that's alternative to that's not an alternative to enforcement because you're always who try always to have people who try and system and what and cheat the system and what labour don't really have is a clear answer for what they're going to with people

going to do to deal with people who don't want to let in. who they don't want to let in. they want. and they're they don't want. and they're certainly they want they don't want. and they're ce let 1ly they want they don't want. and they're ce let everyone they want they don't want. and they're ce let everyone in, they want they don't want. and they're ce let everyone in, which want they don't want. and they're ce let everyone in, which isant they don't want. and they're ce let everyone in, which is the to let everyone in, which is the position somebody like position of somebody like activists that activists and lobbyists that will be on their backs about this. but unless up with a this. but unless come up with a coherent it will be coherent position, it will be very sunak to very easy for rishi sunak to say, you don't like this say, okay, you don't like this proposal , say, okay, you don't like this proposal, but would you do proposal, but what would you do with people? and sickest with these people? and sickest on have an on the. we'll need to have an answer that. one of answer to that. one of the contentious issues about contentious issues is about children, and the fact children, isn't it? and the fact that will now that children will now be treated as other asylum treated same as other asylum seekers and held detention which rishi has meant to be rishi sunak has meant to be a deterrent crossing deterrent for families crossing this particularly stretch cross route as it can be. that's controversial, isn't . i mean controversial, isn't. i mean labour can make a lot of that. they can potentially think an awful lot of it comes down to the standards of these new facilities. i mean when say we're going to keep children in these places, i mean, that's only if these are bad places only bad if these are bad places to stay on boat. let me tell you, if you've ever been a boat with children, it's stressful . with children, it's stressful. you know, they'll have they'll have to consider having and

toddlers running around on a boat mean that i mean boat. well i mean that i mean that sound the worst that doesn't sound the worst thing in the world if we're talking about things for talking about things that for which government can actually which a government can actually be indicted. but of course, there state. there will be a larger state. maybe can prioritise maybe you can prioritise families actual and you families on the actual and you can other people on the can put other people on the barges there's room for barges i mean, there's room for all kinds of discretionary all those kinds of discretionary decisions, ultimately decisions, but ultimately i think the problem for think part of the problem for the is if these the government is if these places so that sending places are so bad that sending children is a scandal, children there is a scandal, should be sending anyone should we be sending anyone there also seen, there at all? we've also seen, haven't points at, some haven't we flash points at, some of which really of these hotels which we really got to try and crack got to got to try and crack down. and we saw in newquay this week where local people or being bused not sure objecting week where local people or being buseprotestingiot sure objecting week where local people or being buseprotesting to sure objecting week where local people or being buseprotesting to thee objecting week where local people or being buseprotesting to the fact ecting week where local people or being buseprotesting to the fact to ing and protesting to the fact to hotel accommodation been hotel accommodation has been taken migrants. taken over by migrants. so this is way of to is another way of trying to perhaps social cohesion. yeah absolutely. these people need to stored. yeah, they wouldn't be housed somewhere while we're processing them. they, they, they cause disruption often in communities they the best communities where they the best place is to try keep them in place is to try and keep them in places which are sort of slightly withdrawn from those communities military bases,

communities, military bases, boats in the right shipyards and so on are exactly the kind of thing that at least takes that box. build purpose box. we won't build purpose built accommodation. ultimately, the course , is the issue here, of course, is that taking years to that it's taking two years to process people . it used to take process people. it used to take two weeks. yeah. now it's one thing someone in barge thing to keep someone in a barge for weeks their case for two weeks while their case is looked at. it's another is being looked at. it's another thing keep them in a hotel or thing to keep them in a hotel or on a facility for two on a barge in a facility for two years. so i think the two pronged approach from this certainly with the extra processing agents have been hired the government are hired by the government or are being hired. the government will being hired. the government will be to keep that be attempting to keep that detention period as short as possible. becomes a bit detention period as short as poa ible. becomes a bit detention period as short as poa different becomes a bit detention period as short as poa different conversation,a bit detention period as short as poa different conversation, but: of a different conversation, but ultimately the starting point is we're spending £6 million a day on almost 400 hotels, predominantly england. and there is very little consent . this the is very little consent. this the question is, how do you move on from that? we shouldn't forget as well in scotland , a lot of as well in scotland, a lot of the ukrainian refugees in scotland are being kept on a boat. scotland are being kept on a boat . yes and even no protest

boat. yes and even no protest about it in scotland. there's been protests about it in scotland. it's really interesting looking at the differentiation between how many asylum seekers are actually being kept in scotland versus england as well as very few hotels in scotland have been requisitioned , many in england. requisitioned, many in england. and interesting looking at and it's interesting looking at the rhetoric of snp saying the rhetoric of the snp saying that we want to be a more welcoming country indeed criticising the government of the united kingdom. well, it's interesting that the scottish government have actually not been living to their rhetoric and have been criticising the engush and have been criticising the english government. that has been the one that's been requisitioning hotels. it's very much politicians . tom would have much politicians. tom would have thought it. let's let's bring in former chief immigration officer , the uk border force at calais, kevin morning, kevin saunders. good morning, kevin saunders. good morning, kevin good morning, barrie . good kevin good morning, barrie. good morning. does this sound like a solution to you? you have huge experience in this area. yes this is this is an absolutely much better idea. we've got 380 miles scattered across the uk. you're quite right about

scotland . there aren't very many scotland. there aren't very many there or wales. there are only two in wales. so yes , this is a two in wales. so yes, this is a much better idea . we're going to much better idea. we're going to have scampton and we believe, which is just down the road from me and 5000 people that . yeah. me and 5000 people that. yeah. goodidea. me and 5000 people that. yeah. good idea . it'll work if it will good idea. it'll work if it will work. it's much better to concentrate from an operational point view to concentrate this sort of number of peoples in one place so that we can quickly send officers to deal with the asylum claims. send officers to deal with the asylum claims . kevin scampton is asylum claims. kevin scampton is the former raaf base. is there any , any local opposition any, any local opposition building up to the idea that thousands or hundreds potentially are going to be moved there? yeah, just a bit. the usual the usual people have come out , the usual the usual people have come out, complied. the local has out to complain every excuse

under the sun they've tried to use, but realistically, scampton was only just decommissioned . so was only just decommissioned. so a lot of infrastructure is still there. so to bring it out, to stand , it will be relatively stand, it will be relatively cheap and relatively quick as well. so i'm afraid is a very goodidea. well. so i'm afraid is a very good idea . why didn't they done good idea. why didn't they done it before, kevin ? i well, the it before, kevin? i well, the scampton is the red arrows of i. we've just left scampton and such scampton is one that they could use. they have tried it before. they tried it at lynton or nose , but again the, the or nose, but again the, the locals complained like mad and the government back down. so they have tried it before. i'm not quite so happy about putting people on boats, barges. not not boats. boats are fine. barges a

little bit. so worried about. but we'll have to see what happens. but we'll have to see what happens . and with children where happens. and with children where you were talking about two tiny children were detaining children in families unaccompanied children will still be dealt with by the local authority and there a big difference there of. there's nothing wrong with putting children and their family onto cruise liners on cruise liners or ferries . cruise liners or ferries. there's no safety problem . i go there's no safety problem. i go on cruise holidays and my children always used to go to the play clubs on the boats . so the play clubs on the boats. so it can be perfectly safe. do we know where the boats are going to be moored at this point? haven't know. well i haven't heard. and it was question on and yesterday but i'll call also about where going to put the have you seen at all henry. no. no we have time. we're saying the detail is not fleshed out in

the detail is not fleshed out in the business. it's almost like they're making it up as they're going along. yeah. no think that's certainly the case and really one of the interesting points actually the detail of this that we're talking about, the and the detention facility and all of this is we're going to see some sort of exodus from the hotels . one thing we do know the hotels. one thing we do know is that those are currently in hotels will be moved into hotels will not be moved into these facilities . these these facilities. these facilities for new facilities will be for new arrivals who are coming instead . so the current almost 400 hotels that have been blocked booked out by the government will remain . gosh, that's will remain. gosh, that's amazing. that is fascinating. it really does suggest they're not to solve the problem. they're just trying to provide more accommodation. although having spoken kevin saunders on many spoken to kevin saunders on many occasions, time occasions, that's the only time he yeah, work. he said, yeah, this will work. what trying to do what at least are trying to do something? for long something? having not for a long time and queen consort. time now king and queen consort. they're to arrive germany they're going to arrive germany today ever state today for their first ever state visit. were to, of course, visit. they were to, of course, to be in france, weren't they? but cancelled embarrassingly but was cancelled embarrassingly for those for macron because of those riots, the riots, which still gripping the streets the state pension.

streets over the state pension. that's right. so the royal couple will arrive in berlin before making their way to brandenburg tomorrow before ending engagements in ending their engagements in hamburg friday. we'll get the hamburg on friday. we'll get the latest on the trip with a former royal butler , harold grant tells royal butler, harold grant tells us particularly looking forward to going to france. he's visited it many privately. he speaks very good french, however , he very good french, however, he has to make do with what he has to do with germany. now, the first one. absolutely. good morning and thank i mean, you're right. i mean, this is quite an important visit. and because it is west obviously state visit as monarch . and of course, he's monarch. and of course, he's been to germany many times before. can see a slightly before. but i can see a slightly different going there as different because going there as a state obviously is a a head of state obviously is a bit pressure . and obviously bit more pressure. and obviously going concerts . going with the queen concerts. so it's to be a very high so it's going to be a very high profile and one that he'll be keen to get right as is the first visit. and as i mentioned there, he will be disappointed that was that the french visit was cancelled or postponed, i should say. will glad he's say. so will be glad that he's able at least get this part able to at least get this part of underway . and we the

of the tour underway. and we the news yesterday groan the fact that king prince harry obviously is in london for this court case against daily mail and the newspapers and his father isn't going to make time to see. what do you make of that ? i to be do you make of that? i to be honest, i wasn't hugely surprised, but for two reasons. one, as of obvious with everything that's going on, it's bit tricky at the moment . bit tricky at the moment. obviously, trying to arrange a visit because the king is obviously not in the country. he's always going to blitzes and he busy. i mean, i remember walking to the farm and i know how busy the schedules are and you see each you know, they do see each other. i've had people other. i mean, i've had people say they don't visit and say that they don't visit and see each other. they do see each other. members the family. other. members of the family. but it's not always but sometimes it's not always possible. has to there possible. so there has to there could as simple as he's he's could be as simple as he's he's busy and he's obviously undertaking this overseas visit. it be with it could also be that with everything going at the everything going on at the moment, maybe he it's best moment, maybe he feels it's best that have that they don't actually have any to face face time

any kind of to face face time just now, which is the reality of the situation . because it is of the situation. because it is it is really isn't it, it is really tricky, isn't it, with that's going on with everything that's going on for can quite for the family, we can quite know what royals think . they know what royals think. they don't tell us, but we can assume be that he was pretty enraged by the revelations in harry's book, particularly the criticism of his wife , the queen consort . his wife, the queen consort. well, this is under this is what confuses me, because i was lucky enough to be a butler for during that period. and i saw how well the family got on the org on really well. and i was a bit i was saddened actually when i you know, obviously the comments bit ihopei know, obviously the comments bit i hope i get this quote but it kind of wicked stepmother or this you know the reference to the stepmother of course relationship and from what i saw on of course , is, you know, as on of course, is, you know, as you mentioned, even my porsche as a as a butler stuff you don't obviously know inside thoughts. but from what i saw and i've been around them on really well so i was saddened by this and i

don't really know why this has come out. and again, i've always said the whole way along, i don't what the end game is. i don't what the end game is. i don't know what the plan is at the end of because all. it's the end of it because all. it's hot it is damaging the hot and it is damaging the relationship. beyond relationship. his father, beyond repair . and relationship. his father, beyond repair. and the more this goes on, more i really don't see on, the more i really don't see this coming back. i don't this them coming back. i don't see having same see them having the same relationship once relationship they had once before, very before, which was a very relationship. the same with relationship. and the same with his were talking his brother. we were talking a couple of weeks ago, grant, about whether prince harry would arrive court for action arrive in court for this action that he's taking against associated newspapers and andrew and i joked at the time that you wouldn't be able to resist the temptation of being centre stage again. sure enough there was again. i'm sure enough there was nobody really expected to nobody really expected him to arrive fly over from america for this court case. how is it going do we know how the case is going? is he going to come out of well do know of this? well do you know i wasn't surprised that he did come over because obviously he feels strongly about this . i feels strongly about this. i mean, the things that are coming once not great. i once again are not great. i mean, i was it.

mean, obviously i think was it. yes, the reports , the phone yes, the reports, the phone hacking and that that obviously everything kind of came about and from what i've read, obviously, it's kind of i suppose part of that blame is on the royal family or the office, i should probably say. and difficult was saying this is this been them into another this has been them into another kind argument and debate and once again i don't see how this is going to end well and it's just i just find the whole thing really, really sad. i am i hate to see it. look, everybody, i miss alec queen, but i am glad that she's not around to see this because i think there's an opportunity to break her heart. i to say, grant, of i do have to say, grant, of course, the associated newspapers i work for have emphatically denied all the allegations that case. and allegations in that case. and this is a preliminary hearing until happens, whether until it happens, whether the case, goes ahead. you case, even goes ahead. have you seen portrayal that grant of seen the portrayal that grant of the king, the new portray and what we've said what you said. i have i actually saw it this morning and i felt i must say, you know , many quotes has been you know, many quotes has been done over the years of the royal family. and some are excellent

about he was so about him and he was so authentic. it was used to see him a lot with cilla black. they were inseparable. they were like derby and james holidays together. was together. and i know he was devastated died. devastated when she died. she died far too young to of course, he when my then husband had a he had accident america and had an accident in america and it the papers. and i was it was in the papers. and i was over the hotel in america. we over in the hotel in america. we were there six weeks were there for about six weeks and paul o'grady sent a out and paul o'grady sent a card out there and he saw it. remember there and he saw it. i remember him it did too. him signing it and it did too. little doggy footprint at the bottom i know and of bottom of it. but i know and of course, we are to talking the rspca in the programme because he did a major he really did make a major difference to rehouse strays, dogs and cats. and of course when they got to pursue dogs and had to lock the dogs up because he was wanted to leave with one. right. very sad news. we're going about that as well going to talk about that as well with papers guest in with our our papers guest in just moment. the just a moment. now, the government announce today government will announce today that migrants that thousands of migrants will be hotels be relocated from hotels to be housed on former military bases and on barges. and before housed on former military bases and (can arges. and before housed on former military bases and (can i'ges. and before housed on former military bases and (can i say and before housed on former military bases and (can i say and our before housed on former military bases and (can i say and our home; housed on former military bases and (can i say and our home is time can i say now our home is security and it's why it has been to one of those military bases essex, which could

bases in essex, which could house up to 2000 asylum seekers, high above essex air base . high above this essex air base. it's easy to see why the home office would view this facility as an attractive option to house asylum seekers across the site are multiple disused buildings. former residential blocks, which could easily be adapted to accommodate migrants . could easily be adapted to accommodate migrants. but right next to the wethersfield air base is the village it took its name from a quiet community, now unhedin name from a quiet community, now united in opposition to such a large scale, accommodate in centre right under doorstep and the moment what we're expecting is from the 1st of april, the home office will take charge of the site . tony clark holland the site. tony clark holland leading voice in the campaign against the plans, says the community sees around this base would be overwhelmed by such a large accommodation centre . some large accommodation centre. some people are worried about voicing

that concern because suddenly they're deemed to be racist and thatis they're deemed to be racist and that is not the case. it was any group of young males anywhere, people could feel concerned . the people could feel concerned. the strain that would put on the local communities and local services. there's no facilities here. obviously if they needed anything, whether it's medical emergency, we're just miles from anywhere . at the weekends, more anywhere. at the weekends, more than 250 people from here. and whether ashfield and surrounding community has gathered in the village hall to express those concerns . the local council concerns. the local council revealed it plans to seek a high court injunction to halt any attempt to use the base for asylum seekers perfect . £8.63 asylum seekers perfect. £8.63 place this tiny shop occasional post office is the only store in wethersfield. the owner says the lack of any engagement from the

home office is simply fuelling their concerns . if it's a their concerns. if it's a detention centre, that's no good. surely for people who are familiar with the area being cooped up in one small space. but then if they are allowed to roam free, then again it's another concern. so we're not saying we don't want them. it's just of it's not the just the fact of it's not the right place to have in right place to have them in a very secluded village. this is a familiar pattern . locals familiar pattern. locals battling home office plans to host large scale asylum accommodation centres in their communities. the vast majority of these campaigns have been successful , but for the successful, but for the government, every victory leaves them with a diminished number of suitable sites . the prime suitable sites. the prime minister has promised to end the controversial use of hotels to house asylum seekers , larger house asylum seekers, larger scale accommodation centres on government owned sites might seem like a logical move, but not to those who live right next to these planned facilities .

to these planned facilities. mark white greens use wethersfield in essex . will mark wethersfield in essex. will mark this a pretty high profile opponent of the idea of moving it . i thought we got mark with it. i thought we got mark with this. no we haven't. we're going to go to darren mccaffrey, who is our political editor, darren. there's a term that package from mount white, there's a rather high opponent to that high profile opponent to that plan asylum seekers to plan to move asylum seekers to where? base in essex. where? to that base in essex. the local mp who just happens to be foreign secretary james be the foreign secretary james cleverly. that's not a very good example, is to set to the example, is it, to set to the rest of the country ? yeah. good rest of the country? yeah. good morning, andrew. hopefully i'll be a good enough replacement for mark. you're right in saying that , james cleverly, the that, james cleverly, the foreign secretary , is not in foreign secretary, is not in favour of these plans , and favour of these plans, and that's kind of part of the government problem in of government problem in all of this in effect, nimby ism, this is, in effect, nimby ism, whether it's good whether you think it's a good thing or a bad thing, and what local communities subject with local communities subject with local object means local mp is object. it means that government's fewer that the government's got fewer and look at. and fewer options to look at. now what we're expecting later on today essentially

on today is essentially the government kind of reheating ideas heard time and ideas that we've heard time and time again, not least of all from this very government. in fact, the front pages of fact, i think the front pages of the have the papers, you could have picked them up in december or november year, you november of last year, and you would very similar would have seen very similar headline. it does the headline. it does look like the government go ahead government is going to go ahead with idea of moving some with this idea of moving some refugees military sites refugees onto military sites across disused across the country. disused military sites , though. this military sites, though. this idea of using barges or ships seems a hell of a lot more vague. dominic raab, the deputy prime minister who's actually doing pmqs a little later on today here at westminster, was unable to say precisely how many barges where they would be, when this might start, how many asylum cycles they might hold. i think much more idea, think it's much more of an idea, i.e. they're not really they're not rather than anything they're looking possible at looking practically possible at the be the moment, though it must be said, has housed , i said, scotland has housed, i think, around 1700 refugees on a cruise ship over the last six months or so . but yet this cruise ship over the last six months or so. but yet this is politically difficult for the government. they point out on one hand that the current system is not andrew sustainable. it's

costing 6 to 7 million costing around 6 to 7 million quid and £50 on average quid a day and £50 on average for hotel rooms . clearly that's for hotel rooms. clearly that's also causing disquiet and defaults of country, while defaults of the country, while at same time trying to find at the same time trying to find alternatives. clearly is not proving not one, not least proving easy, not one, not least of all. as you've rightly pointed out. well, members of the cabinet seem to be opposing it, at least their own area. it, at least in their own area. it's obviously we've said this morning will be in morning the deficit will be in the to extent, but the detail to some extent, but can do we know can you clarify, do we know those people who are currently in bills will be moved in hotel bills will be moved into this accommodation or into this new accommodation or is extra capacity of so at is this extra capacity of so at the moment we don't know the detail of that. i would have thought the idea is to move people who are in existing places into these of either barges or onto these military sites. but you're also right in suggesting this is about creating a capacity because there is no sense that the small box right. is going to come to an end anytime soon. you know, the reason i say that is because the reason i say that is because

the prime minister yesterday suggested flights to suggested these flights to rwanda. he's much mooted rwanda. he's much again mooted flights not likely flights to rwanda are not likely to before the summer, to take place before the summer, even that's what's what even though that's what's what i've read the home i've read from the home secretary suggested. and so secretary had suggested. and so in if the in those circumstances, if the numbers keep at similar levels or we saw last or even higher than we saw last yean or even higher than we saw last year, around just below 50,000, as system will needs as clearly the system will needs more capacity . there's and that, more capacity. there's and that, again , is not least of all again, is not least of all because the government a terribly bad approach to seeing claims people arrive in this country seeking asylum for good or for ill. and yet the claims are not dealt with within weeks or months. it takes years and thatis or months. it takes years and that is why they end up clogging up the system. so in the end , as up the system. so in the end, as i say, the government's a boxed in by not having much choice about where to house asylum seekers and at the moment frankly do not, at least in the short term of any of short term of any way of preventing from here preventing them from coming here and even when they are here, they quick way of they seem be got no quick way of solving whether they've got legitimate asylum claims or not. thank you, darren darren mccaffrey. the down at westminster. you just hope that

once people are in these facilities can be processed facilities they can be processed more really, more quickly. we really, really should two years. should not be taking two years. it be taking two days. it should be taking two days. absolutely. morning absolutely. so this morning we've about the we've been talking about the tributes been pouring in, tributes that been pouring in, the presenter and the legendary tv presenter and entertainment, who entertainment, paul o'grady, who has aged 67 and the queen has died aged 67 and the queen consort of people, says consort of all people, says she's saddened. in a she's deeply saddened. in a statement death of statement at the death of o'grady, says warm heart o'grady, who she says warm heart and humour lit the and infectious humour lit up the lives of many . so and infectious humour lit up the lives of many. so during his lives of so many. so during his career, the entertainer was known for his drag persona , lily known for his drag persona, lily savage, as well as hosting a polo greatest show, blind date and blankety blank, for which he won numerous accolades, including a tv , bafta and a including a tv, bafta and a national television award . let's national television award. let's speak, though, because , of speak, though, because, of course, he's very well known for all the work did with dogs all the work he did with dogs and that lovely tv programme straight head of straight talks to the head of pubuc straight talks to the head of public the rspca, public affairs at the rspca, david . david that dog david bowes. david that dog programme, it was compelling television . even if you didn't television. even if you didn't like dogs, there was something about the way paul o'grady related and reacted to dogs. and when every time he went to battersea dogs home they

virtually to search him virtually had to search him because leave with because he wanted to leave with three every time he three strays. every time he left. he was. he was left. yeah, he was. he was a natural. and his enthusiasm for animals and particularly dogs came over that natural , natural, came over that natural, natural, infectious, enthuses ism and support for the animals that he was looking after. you could tell that he he cared about them . what many people don't know is, is that the programme , which is, is that the programme, which started in 2012 was very, very successful. it it ran for seven series and there was probably another series which was, was in the planning . he won an rspca the planning. he won an rspca animal heroes award in 2016 because of his his love for animals. and it didn't just extend to dogs. so for instance, paul had a small holding and he rehomed a lamb, which somebody had abandoned in a wastepaper bin. and we went to him and said, we don't really know what to do with islam. and he said, don't worry, i'll take care. i'll put it on my small holding

and had a fantastic life after that. so. so, yes, he was he was really empathetic about all animals , but particularly dogs animals, but particularly dogs through his through his tv series and that programme for the love of dogs was really important, wasn't it, for making people aware about the old cliche? a dog isn't just for christmas and making people aware of just how difficult and complicated it can be to look after a dog . absolutely. and after a dog. absolutely. and what what also it was really about was about rescue dogs. dogs that are taken in by organisations like battersea, like the rspca, because people don't want them, they may be mogis, they may be hybrids, they're not specific breeds, but but their needs are exactly the same as other dogs. and he made it fashionable to want a rescue dog rather than going for a specific breed. and i think that was really important because before then people had assumed that if a dog ended up in places like the rspca or battersea , like the rspca or battersea, that it was second class and he

showed that they were indeed second class. they were , if second class. they were, if anything, better than , than anything, better than, than a real breed dog. and he made it fashionable again to go to centres and get rescue dogs from the rspca and from battersea and we will be entirely within his debt for, for doing that and making that , that really making that, that really important point . david, it's important point. david, it's quite common for celebrity people as famous as paul o'grady to use that charity connections is a bit of a badge slapping exercise. the heart isn't really in it, but it looks good for them. he was the polar opposite of that , wasn't he? and of that, wasn't he? and i imagine he was. it must have been a joy to work with. he was completely the polar opposite, and you could that from the and you could tell that from the way that he these way that he did these tv programmes. him programmes. it wasn't just him going through motions. he going through the motions. he actually did love actually really did love those animals and you joked at the beginning that they had to sometimes lock up the dogs at battersea because he would go round and go, i might take one of home. so that you can't of those home. so that you can't put that infectious in fuse. he

has some for animals on it showed completely through his character it was something there that was natural. and i think that was natural. and i think that that infectious enthusiasm spread to the viewers and to the public. and that's the reason why the tv programme for the love of dogs was so popular , why love of dogs was so popular, why it ran for seven series, why regularly bulletin for 5 million people, and why at one tv awards, you know, it won three national tv awards and it beat other programmes such as gogglebox. sometimes which shows you can only get that through that natural enthuse . as we've that natural enthuse. as we've been shown quite a lot of photograph offs with the paul o'grady, with the queen consort camilla, who is also of course a great dog lover and is associate with a number of dog charities . with a number of dog charities. it's fascinating that she's put out a public statement saying how sad she is to his premature loss . yeah, and she she is also

loss. yeah, and she she is also has been to battersea many times. she's opened up different parts of battersea that new centres there. she's also a patron for the brook hospital because she loves horses. as everybody knows so much. so, so yes. that connection there of animals between paul o'grady and the queen consort is obviously a massive connection and i think they bonded through that . their they bonded through that. their real love and infectious love of animals. and she she could see in him a real compatriot of somebody that really cared for animals and really wanted to improve their welfare and i think he did a fantastic job to put out those messages to the pubuc put out those messages to the public about particularly, you know, if you want to get a dog, know, if you want to get a dog, know what you're doing, have the response or ability to feed it, to give it the right exercise, the right environment. and i think lot of dogs do that. think a lot of dogs do that. they're better conditions to his programme and his infectious love animals. thank you, love for animals. thank you, david. david bell's the head of pubuc david. david bell's the head of public affairs at the rspca.

with andrew pierce and bev turner. now us president joe biden has urged israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu to abandon his controversial judicial overhaul. now these proposals have led unusually to massive street protests in israel , massive street protests in israel, prompting israeli prime minister to say in response to biden he does not respond to pressure from abroad. joining us now is the constitutional law lecturer at the university television, adam scheiner. if i pronounce your name correctly , pronounce your name correctly, that's perfect. great. i'm correct . right on time. that's perfect. great. i'm correct. right on time. highly unusual to have days of intense street protests in israel and in tel aviv . yes. well israel has tel aviv. yes. well israel has had many, many protests in the past. but what we're seeing now is not just there . intensity is is not just there. intensity is duration . actually, as these duration. actually, as these protests started over 12 weeks ago when the government announced its plans to what they

call is reforming the judiciary , but really it's politicising the judiciary and limiting the court's power of judicial review of legislation . and for 12 of legislation. and for 12 straight weeks, hundreds of thousands of people have taken to the streets pretty much actually closed down the streets . and important highways pretty ousting these plans. and what we're seeing in the past few daysis we're seeing in the past few days is really the peak of that activity, that intense activity . what exactly is it that they are protesting about ? well it are protesting about? well it started out as a protesting against these reforms, about these judicial reforms that are buddhist izing the way judges are appointed , and limiting the are appointed, and limiting the court's power to strike down legislation . and basically, what legislation. and basically, what people saw these reforms is doing as icons and treating almost all political power in the government , which almost all political power in the government, which already controls the parliament. and there are immediate concern was that there were not going to be any meaningful checks on government power . that was the

government power. that was the beginning of these protests . and beginning of these protests. and that was, i guess, maybe for the first month or two. but these protests have really transformed or evolved. it's no longerjust about these judicial reforms . about these judicial reforms. for the protesters, what they see is this is a battle over israel's nature , over israel's israel's nature, over israel's character, over israel's future, overits character, over israel's future, over its liberal credentials. can israel still be a liberal country so the reforms are simply the trigger for a much broader debate about israel's future. as a liberal country. and the protesters are squarely within the liberal camp and they're concerned that israel will be turning into an illiberal country in the style of poland, in the style of hungary , for example. so, for hungary, for example. so, for instance, if your judicial review process is the same as it is here, this is one the few. is here, this is one of the few. the only way in which government decisions can be questioned in a court . you know, people can't court. you know, people can't routinely take the government to court, can they, by the decision that they make, otherwise nothing get done. but what nothing would get done. but what we have is a judicial review.

and you're telling and i think what you're telling me, therefore, is that in israel, a process is israel, that's a process is going to be down or going to be watered down or stopped completely . well, it's stopped completely. well, it's not going to be stopped completely, but it's going to be watered down that it would. i'm not saying would be meaningless, but would it be significantly watered down now? there is a distinction here. and in the u.k. there is judicial review of administrative decisions, but there no judicial review of there is no judicial review of legislate . so the most that the legislate. so the most that the british courts can say is issue a declaration of incompatible . a declaration of incompatible. but in israel, the court has been exercising judicial review over legislation . for the past over legislation. for the past 30 years and basically striking down laws that are in conflict with certain constitutional rights, more like the us. model that parts will be watered down so much that it will almost have no effect . so it's really taking no effect. so it's really taking back the country from from having 30 years of constitutional protection and to having virtually no

constitutional protections whatsoever . how well does whatsoever. how well does somebody like benjamin netanyahu a very long serving israeli prime minister, react to the idea that the president of the united states interferes, wags his finger and tells him he's getting it all wrong? well, israel and the us. have a very special and longstanding relationship, and it's really hard to say or think or believe that the us. has never intervened . the us. always has intervened. the us. always has intervened. the us. always has intervened to an extent, whether formally or informally . but the formally or informally. but the problem netanyahu is having now, he has an external problem with the us, but he also has an internal problem inside his government, because internal doesn't really have a lot of options. but anyone who cannot form an alternative government because the opposition parties will not go, not now will not go with him, because as you probably know, he's been indicted for corruption charges and he's currently standing trial in court and he has a coalition that is composed of ultra—orthodox and religious zionist and very right wing and

conservative members. we're also limiting what he can do. so he's really , you know, caught between really, you know, caught between a rock and a hard place here that in order for him to stay in power and he wants to stay in power, you has to abide by what his partners want. power, you has to abide by what his partners want . at the same his partners want. at the same time, he has to appease the president. so it's really not clear what he's going to do. i mean , i don't even think i think mean, i don't even think i think he even doesn't always going to do . fascinating. adam, thank you do. fascinating. adam, thank you so much for illuminating that particular discussion. adam shinoda from tel avi. it is interesting, isn't it? and you see it like, say the israeli people clearly feel so strongly about something which is as a constitutional issue and they were on the verge of a general strike, which would have been unprecedented israel. he unprecedented in israel. but he he's now saying he might pause these reforms . but 12 weeks of. these reforms. but 12 weeks of. right. and then, of course, to go across the channel in france, there's still rising. yeah. good for them. right it's about in britain . after all this year,

britain. after all this year, maybe be doing a bit maybe we should be doing a bit more of that. may be right. still to come. not inciting. still to come. i'm not inciting. we high we investigate how local high street businesses are using social media to try to bring customers back into their shops. what does your street look what does your high street look like? that's all after your morning's news. 10:33 on radisson. here's the latest . radisson. here's the latest. thousands of asylum seekers will be housed in old military bases and on a giant barge in plans due to be announced by the immigration minister later on today. it's the first major step in the government's pledge to end the controversial practise of housing asylum seekers in hotels . robert jenrick will hotels. robert jenrick will unveil initial proposals to move around 3000 migrants into two disused raaf bases. gb news understands that the home office has already secured the use of two former bases in essex and lincolnshire. however, it will face legal challenges . a new face legal challenges. a new survey has found public

satisfaction with the nhs has dropped to its lowest level since the survey began in 1983. the british social attitudes survey also showed dissatisfaction has doubled in the last two years. only 29% of people surveyed are satisfied with how it runs. shadow health secretary wes streeting told us the main issue is staffing and nhs has suffered from a terrible, mismanaged over the course of the last 13 years by the conservatives that's left the conservatives that's left the system desperately short of the system desperately short of the staff it needs to get patients seen on time. that's led to the highest waiting lists in the history of the nhs and the lowest patient satisfaction in what i hear in ever. and what i hear commonly from patients and i experience this a bit myself with my experience kidney with my experience with kidney a couple ago , people couple of years ago, people could more praising of could not be more praising of nhs staff. think they're nhs staff. they think they're doing brilliant job they doing a brilliant job but they simply enough them . simply aren't enough of them. and the king and consort will arrive in germany for their state visit this afternoon .

streets. on national reporter theo chikomba has the story. streets. on national reporter theo chikomba has the story . as theo chikomba has the story. as the increase in the cost of living and flexible working continues, less people are visiting their high streets . visiting their high streets. businesses like the ledbury herefordshire are attempting to use social media to bring customers in. but is it working? is absolute helped us and i think the opportunities for small business, especially on social media instagram , facebook social media instagram, facebook all all of them really is endless. if you are confident and have the knowledge and know which maybe have given us to explore all the different services they have to offer and to reach the maximum audience . to reach the maximum audience. whether you want a drink or something new to wear, you can find it here under one roof. they are one of more than 1700 businesses in the county took part in a government funded media pilot during that time. businesses taking part had a 15%

increase in footfall , whereas increase in footfall, whereas those who didn't take part had 7.4. social media specialists argue more companies need to invest in their online presence. only 400 businesses post something on a daily basis on social media. it's a challenging market, right? so social media. it's a challenging market, right ? so you've got to market, right? so you've got to really look to be able to expand your business today. i is a big misunderstanding that social media are sometimes seen as a digital channel, but actually as consumers we've got a phone in our hand all the time and it's what you see on your feed determines what you do. could this shake up in approach be the answer we have quite a big following that we're trying to grow and part of a service that may be offices to grow an audience that that reflect the people who have been interested and enjoy the business so that way we get to kind of maximise our reach and let everyone know what we're doing and that we'd

love to. welcome to the library. and it's that strategy. many in this area are taking on in order to drive footfall from online into physical stores as increasing footfall in high streets remains a challenge for businesses across the country. theo chikomba . gb news. it's theo chikomba. gb news. it's interesting , isn't it? do you interesting, isn't it? do you buy much online? no i don't. i don't want it. it drives me nuts. i mean, my parent, i might have patella. you can hear us nattering. yeah, absolutely. do you buy anything in the shops anymore? i try. yeah, i the only time i send away for something onune time i send away for something online is if i, you know, you're looking through the paper all. look at this, a blazer for £35. i wanted rives. it is so creased you never get the creases out of you never get the creases out of you never get the creases out of you never wear it. i'll throw it away that you buy trendy linen. yeah so you like to try things on in the shop on some kind of vintage person? this jacket is. amanda wakely, 25 years ago. well, it looks good. thank you. i just when i really like

rishi status as rishi sunak and his status as prime minister. you know, when he gave those five pledges, we all like all thought, well, that's like ed isn't it? ed miliband's wall, isn't it? you what i mean? it's going you know what i mean? it's going to come to like. and yet he's working through them he working through them and he seems coming up with, if seems to be coming up with, if not answers, then solutions providing we all put all our shoulders to the wheel and try and get these over line. but again, as i say, with the immigrant crisis that we've got , some people call them refugees , i call them illegal immigrants because they're coming this country legally. yeah. if you do anything to deter people , then anything to deter people, then you will have them coming and coming and coming and also the doubters will not accept that the illegal movement of people around the world is worth £7 billion. yeah, it is a massive of criminal industry. billion. yeah, it is a massive of criminal industry . where of criminal industry. where would we sit back and allow other massive criminal industry to just keep taking place without the civilised world trying to do about it and save people's lives and these hotels? amanda, 400 of them. i know are completely overflowing with, you

know , you can then just know, you can then just disappear in the middle of the night. the system isn't night. look, the system isn't working now. i found i felt rather disappointed when i heard dominic raab on the radio this morning to talking the justice sector, justice secretary and deputy prime minister is still that, isn't it? yes. and he was asked by our friend nick ferrari on how many boats do you have available to put these people into it. didn't have a clue. and he said, but your cabinet yesterday and it was discussed and you were releasing does not have a clue. i worry about rishi sunak. i'm not a fan. i think that he's just almost like confetti chucking out all of these detention , headline these detention, headline grabbing initiatives . they grabbing initiatives. they haven't done the work and the only way i'm an australian , we only way i'm an australian, we had a terrible problem with illegal immigration. push them back. the only way to stop it is if i hate this narrative about you've got to stop the gangs, the illegal gangs. you've got to stop the people who want to come. it's right. you've got to make it so unattractive. come

here illegally and yet in australia, on the other side of that, they have one of the highest rates of legal migration. so they say their policy is, if you want to come to our country, knock on the front door, don't sneak around the back. you send you away. and that's what we've to do, that's what we've got to do, deterrence. just think deterrence. and i just think that is all over the place. that this is all over the place. you even clue. i you don't even have a clue. i think what literally though think what they literally though in the australian government turn boats they did turn the boats back. they did the but it was the boats bashed in, but it was a much bigger bit of water between where they were coming from from, from from than it is from, from, from and boats which they and stop the boats which they keep using the tories that that phrase course the phrase was of course the election slogan of tony abbott in it has come with in 2013 and it has come with a big election victory at work. and don't think done and i don't think they've done the i think amanda, the job well. i think amanda, you made such a very good point about how do make about how do you make the country attractive to come country less attractive to come true? always to me, true? people always say to me, well, built itself on well, america built itself on immigration, wants immigration, but anybody wants america can come america was told, you can come and live here, but you get literally no help from the state to the extent that when you went through ellis island, if you

were examined and found to have any physical or mental debility, you to enter you were not allowed to enter the because you the united states because you came became a on that came became a burden on that society . you have to stand on society. you have to stand on your own two feet and get on with it. and i know exactly what you're saying, amanda. this is an country to to an attractive country to come to because civilised because we're the most civilised country world and people country in the world and people have to fear by coming have nothing to fear by coming here. i came here here. i love it, but i came here legally. yes, you did. i came on a boat, but it was just with your backpack. with my backpack and husband. him? and my husband. what about him? what going? husband. what is he going? has husband. the lasted longer than the backpack lasted longer than the husband. when going into that, don't talk about my that, i don't talk about my personal. television, no . he personal. no television, no. he was cad. why? i'd love to see was a cad. why? i'd love to see the figures behind this project, though, because pictures are starting sort of emerge now onune starting sort of emerge now online of some of this online of what some of this accommodation look like. accommodation might look like. yeah. luxurious yeah. and it's pretty luxurious . well, i wouldn't say it's a luxurious , yes. because if had a luxurious, yes. because if had a one bedroom flat with its bathroom and all i think from what i've read, there'll be four people in room, there'll be people in a room, there'll be shared bathrooms, all of which .

get back to beth mead. andrew. but we're to we're going to talk a bit more about paul o'grady i think coming up really stands out because suzanne said i had to read the news twice this morning and even then couldn't morning and even then i couldn't believe i thought, believe it. in media i thought, i'll hear is comforting i'll never hear is comforting voice cheer me up with his voice again cheer me up with his wit and his love. i think paul in meant more than in my world meant more than i realised. very world is now realised. very sad world is now a place. mel said, a different place. mel has said, why paul so loved? it's why was paul so loved? it's simple. he concentrated on being an entertainer and not mixing that politics. how many that with politics. how many people with degree people could say with any degree of certainty what political party voted for? we need more party he voted for? we need more stars him. loved but not stars like him. loved but not forgotten. and geraldine says, what a sad day. news paul is what a sad day. news of paul is devastate. cried this morning devastate. i cried this morning at i think a lot of people would have so i mean, amanda have cried so i mean, amanda clearly had moment console condolences his family friends and of course to his animals to all those dogs that died . he all those dogs that died. he left them all. god bless you, paul left them all. god bless you, paul. yeah. and susan says absolutely heartbroken. condolences andre and all the family . so the government's family. so the government's announcing today finally,

finally that tens of thousands of migrants or thousands nato are going to be relocated from around 400 hotels to form a military bases and barges or homes. security editor mark white has been to one military base in essex to house up to 2000 asylum seekers and where locals have launched a campaign to resist the plans. so high above this essex air base, it's easy to see why the home office would view this facility as an attractive option to host asylum seekers . across the site are seekers. across the site are multiple disused buildings. former residential blocks, which could easily be adapted to accommodate migrants . could easily be adapted to accommodate migrants. but could easily be adapted to accommodate migrants . but next accommodate migrants. but next to the wethersfield air base is the village . took its name from the village. took its name from a quiet community. now united in opposition to such a large scale accommodation centre right on their doorstep . at the moment,

their doorstep. at the moment, what we're expecting is from the 1st of april, the home office take charge of the site. tony clark holland leading in the campaign against the plans says the community is around this base would be overwhelmed by such a large accommodation centre. some people are worried about that concern because suddenly they're deemed to be racist and. that is not the case.it racist and. that is not the case. it was any group of young males anywhere, people feel concerned. the strain that would put in the local communities and local services, there's no facilities here. obviously if they needed anything, whether it's medical emergency, we're just miles anywhere . at the just miles anywhere. at the weekend, more than 250 people from here. and whether ashfield and surrounding community is gathered in the village hall to express those concerns concerns express lhose concerns concerns express those concerns concerns . the local council revealed it plans to seek a high court

injunction to halt attempt to use the base for asylum seekers . perfect . £8.63 place. this . perfect. £8.63 place. this tiny shop occasional post office is the only store wethersfield. the owner says the lack of any engagement from the home office is simply fuelling their concerns . if it's a detention concerns. if it's a detention centre, that's no good. surely for people who are familiar with the area being cooped in one small space. but if they are allowed to roam free, then again it's another concern. so we're not saying we don't want them. it's just the fact of it's not the right place to have them in very secluded village. this is a familiar pattern . locals familiar pattern. locals battling home office plans to house large scale asylum accommodation centres in their communities. the vast majority of these campaigns have been successful . but for the successful. but for the government, temporary victory leaves them with a diminished number of suitable sites . the

number of suitable sites. the prime minister has promised to end the controversial use of hotels to house asylum seekers , hotels to house asylum seekers, larger scale accommodation centres on government owned sites might seem like a logical move , but not to those who live move, but not to those who live right next to these planned facilities. mark white gb news wethersfield in essex . thank wethersfield in essex. thank you, mark. well, joining us now, gb news is political editor, deputy political editor, tom harwood. tom, we were talking earlier and there is a bit of confusion. the detail is not yet been revealed whether this will been revealed whether this will be capacity or whether been revealed whether this will bewill capacity or whether been revealed whether this will bewill be capacity or whether been revealed whether this will bewill be movingacity or whether been revealed whether this will bewill be moving alreadynhether been revealed whether this will bewill be moving already inether it will be moving already in hotels into these new facilities. know the facts facilities. do we know the facts around yes, this is around that? yes, this is primarily about capacity for the long term, multiple sites that are being created. this isn't about people en masse from the hotels into these sites. this is about new arrivals coming to these sites . however, there are these sites. however, there are two sites that are going to be

announced today. we expect that from the immigration minister, robert jenrick, which will be focussed on moving around 3000 people who are currently in hotels. as a preliminary measure into those sites. but for the most part, the most . 400 hotels most part, the most. 400 hotels that have already been booked some of which for 80 months have been blocked, booked those bookings will be returning to the public. most people are staying those hotels. it sounds like an admittance of defeat, doesn't it? i mean, it has been two years, hasn't it? i mean, at least moving some of them out, but already the old thing, not in my backyard is a problem. so we've foreign we've heard the foreign secretary, cleverly, secretary, james cleverly, is objecting plan to put people objecting to plan to put people into wethersfield camp . and into the wethersfield camp. and we there's a huge backlash we know there's a huge backlash now against the one which was the dambusters site. it's just about coming up to the 80th anniversary of where those camps are and planes took off. yes, part of the war effort. and there was a big development plan for that site. £300 million,

which could now be scrapped. it's a really intractable problem, of course, because there are all of these disused military sites around the country, many of which are not in the not necessarily in the middle of nowhere, but but far from settled developments of towns and villages. however some, of course, hold great, sentimental value, some of which are just near communities that don't want thousands of people to be based in near to them. but of course, the question is, where do these people go? we don't have returns agreements with every country around the world and ultimately, the vast majority people are majority of the people that are hotels. about people hotels. this isn't about people who've come here who have been granted status. these are people who are seeking asylum who will wait , waiting for their who are seeking asylum who will wait, waiting for their claims to be processed, some of whom are waiting years, multiple years to be processed. and we still haven't seen the last week till newquay. it down there in devon. big problem there with protest protest locally and then

protest protest locally and then protest this protesting against the protesters . it got very ugly the protesters. it got very ugly down there . and the worry is if down there. and the worry is if people stay on in these hotels, right in the heart of queens, it could get ugly again. it could indeed. and the issue with hotels, of course, is that they're not secure facilities that's bad for the safety of those who are housed within them , bad for the , but it's also bad for the safety the communities safety of the communities that they are in. it's an imperfect solution and a very costly solution. £6 million a day being spent on these hotels and rishi sunak when stood to become prime minister in the leadership election that he , of course, election that he, of course, lost last summer was saying one of his main pledges was to end the hotel farce . so clearly the hotel farce. so clearly rishi sunak sees this as a big political problem to solve. however, it doesn't look like these proposals are going to solve it. immediately. ultimately, this is going to be a multi—pronged approach . not a multi—pronged approach. not just new sites . those that are just new sites. those that are claiming asylum to stay in whilst the rest are sort of filtered out, but also speeding

up the processing of those claims. chris but tom, got to move on. thank you. great to see tom tom harwood and ed. so these plans to these migrants, it's going to be obviously a big part of pmqs today. so joining us now is a professor of british and irish politics. the university of liverpool, john tong. good morning, john we haven't got a typical pmqs of course i say that because the funeral of betty boothroyd is set. first woman speaker so both the prime minister and leader of the opposition there at that opposition will be there at that funeral morning. so it's funeral this morning. so it's going to be. dominic raab, the justice secretary, has been doing today and doing the media round today and angela leader angela rayner, the deputy leader who's always lively. that's right, will right, absolutely. but this will no discussed , john. and no doubt be discussed, john. and what coming out is quite fresh. this new proposal of moving migrants there is a little migrants there is still a little bit confusion about it and it bit of confusion about it and it very means when we're talking about we're talking about this, we're not talking about this, we're not talking about plan . to what about the rwanda plan. to what extent you think this is extent do you think this is about sand in our eyes about kicking sand in our eyes over these big over immigration with these big headune over immigration with these big headline projects , but not headline projects, but not actually anything about . actually doing anything about. question very difficult for the

government to do what it wants because there's been so many protracted battles over protracted court battles over this issue. the government believes it's getting to where it wants to. but you've had a protracted court battles. they will probably carry on. i mean, the government believes that pubuc the government believes that public behind what, public opinion is behind what, it's trying to do . on the it's trying to do. on the opposition benches you've got very fervent opposition to what the government's trying to do. so a question i'm not so a question really, i'm not sure that this will ever be fully resolved , but rishi sunak fully resolved, but rishi sunak is certainly made this a flagship policy of his with his stop the boats slogan and believe that the public is on his side on. i think the public probably are. i say they are. i know what i get in my email box. john and they've got at least now the government is being seen to be trying to do something . to be trying to do something. yeah.i to be trying to do something. yeah. i mean there's no easy solutions to any issue of migration. i mean and asylum seeking. i mean if you at the volume of, of asylum seekers the

government says are not all all genuine asylum seekers. and if you look at the local population can be quite hostile but against the british government has a long record of being hospitable to genuine asylum seekers . so in to genuine asylum seekers. so in terms of balance it's very very difficult. i don't think there's any don't think we'll ever get to a political consensus of what to a political consensus of what to do in the camp. we're always thought about keir starmer will always say, well, what is your solution here? and it's true that the labour benches have not necessarily offered one. doubt necessarily offered one. i doubt what it pmqs either. what they want it pmqs either. and can take you across the water because you are professor of politics. john at of and irish politics. john at the university of liverpool. this the security sea level has been raised to severe . we know been raised to severe. we know there was the shooting of that police that that senior police officer in front of his own son and other children just a few weeks ago by dissident ira group. your experience group. with all your experience of northern ireland, are we expecting another dissident attack ? yes, if you look at the

attack? yes, if you look at the way the level of warning has been raised to severe, that shows that an attack is highly likely. that's the official definition of it. it's true the dissident republicans have never gone away. the new ira , in gone away. the new ira, in effect, replaced the old real ira, which, of course , replaced ira, which, of course, replaced the provisional ira of old, which was responsible for a couple of thousand of deaths dunng couple of thousand of deaths during the troubles. i doubt the dissident republicans will ever completely disappear this side of the united ireland, but we should keep the threat in perspective. the level of violence is only around 5% of the level that it was during the troubles. if you look at before the good friday agreement of 1998, 3600 people died. since then , 165 people have died due then, 165 people have died due to the security situation. so threat is not negligible , but it threat is not negligible, but it should be kept in proportion . should be kept in proportion. and the police officer , northern and the police officer, northern ireland, was very keen to stress that yesterday that whilst the pubuc that yesterday that whilst the public should be vigilant, we should keep this in proportion. i the problem . sorry.

i think the problem. sorry. yeah, i just think that what you said, you said a united ireland. do you see a united ireland coming sometime soon then ? no coming sometime soon then? no doubt. good provision in the good friday agreement for a border poll, but public , if you border poll, but public, if you look at the poll of polls, it shows us about ten, 11% lead for those favouring ireland staying in the united kingdom over unhed in the united kingdom over united ireland. it's true the tide has shifted somewhat towards the united ireland since brexit, but not substantially . brexit, but not substantially. not to the point where the secretary of state for northern ireland, and it's in his gift, will actually call a border poll. okay. all right. thank you so much forjoining this so much for joining us this morning. tong there from, morning. jon tong there from, university of liverpool. right. moving on, chancellor jeremy hunt faces m.p.s from the treasury this morning. he's already faced them, i believe, answering questions on the spnng answering questions on the spring budget. and he's made admitted that mistakes are made in budget . but the in his budget. but the mini—budget, truss mini—budget, remember liz truss and kwarteng , he said big and kwasi kwarteng, he said big mistakes made in that. now i guess you would wouldn't i?

let's get more with our economics and editor liam halligan with . on the so what's halligan with. on the so what's he been saying? jeremy hunt is blaming liz truss for this message. yeah, this hearing ongoing as we speak. the chances appearing in front of the treasury select committee of he's talking about a range issues out of him. i've been watching this morning and that line did catch my eye and i thought i'd it to you so look we'll happening here is that the kind of jeremy hunt rishi sunak of the conservative party pressing home their advantage had a good couple of weeks. pressing home their advantage had a good couple of weeks . you had a good couple of weeks. you know the windsor framework seems have worked according to most people though of course, the deep don't like it. they seem to be making some progress with small boats. there's talk now of maybe the tories can win the election. the poll is narrowing so jeremy hunt's taking a bit of a risk here. gloating a little bit, really sticking it if you like, to the former prime minister, liz truss and her then

chancellor corsica kwarteng. this what he told the this is what he told the treasury of mps treasury select committee of mps about mini—budget back in about that mini—budget back in september . yes, there were some september. yes, there were some mistakes in the mini—budget which we had to and in particular i think it's clear you can't fund tax cuts through increased so that's a that a clear thing that we changed course . on really strong course. on really strong language there and he's by saying to the right of the tory look forget about tax cuts yeah they're not going to happen certainly not until we're much much nearer a general election behave yourselves the erg obviously didn't really show in that rebellion against the windsor framework, even though bofis windsor framework, even though boris johnson analysts trusts andian boris johnson analysts trusts and ian duncan lead , three and ian duncan lead, three former leaders to former prime ministers, voted against the current prime minister. the we're aware of the tory rebels who want taxes got to go now and that's the point because rishi sunak his people are saying the other day it's his party now. well, you know, i think they

will come again because i think huge of the country huge swathes of the country actually agrees them. so do actually agrees with them. so do i. look, there's the history of that mini—budget never has a mini—budget been so mini that will be pored over by many historians. i personally think the real reason the market went haywire after that mini—budget wasn't so because of the fiscal measures that liz truss and kwasi quite so wanted to introduce. it was because the bank of england the day before decided that be a good decided that would be a good time. this time. just before this mini—budget to start loads of bonds back to the markets. that sounds complicated and in another context i could do a lot more to it. but was that wilful by the bank began to wreck the budget? well, i'm not sure. i certainly think the bank of england were very, happy england were very, very happy when jeremy hunt very much a sort man identikit. sort of treasury man identikit. chancellor not a kind of envelope pushing chancellor came in and there was something else so far during this testimony from jeremy hunt that i think will backfire on him. he's been

saying, look , in the saying, look, in the mini—budget, in his budget, he wants to do two things. he wants to get people back to work. and he did that by trying to raise the pension cap. he really appues the pension cap. he really applies the wealthiest 1% of pensioners. and he also said that he wanted to create an environment for business. he said that we've now got the best investment environment for business of the major economies. i just don't think that's true. corporations have put in 18 to 25. yeah and here's something else i've sussed out since budget. you know, politicians often say to me, oh, but you only pay corporation tax . at 25% only pay corporation tax. at 25% above £250,000 profit and up to £50,000. you don't pay anything . actually, between 50,000 and £250,000 profit. these are still quite small businesses employing it . 8000 people or so you it. 8000 people or so you actually pay you go from 19 to 26.5. so by the time you get to 250 grand, you've paid 225% on the whole lot . so the sort of

the whole lot. so the sort of marginal in your tax rate, if you if you if your business makes more than £50,000, a lot of business is just sussing this out . you know, if you're out. you know, if you're a plumber running, a small business, you might make 50 grand, right? so you feed family. and you family. yeah. and you immediately pay above once you go above that 250 grand, you start paying 26.5, which is a huge increase. so i think those are going to backfire on him. and it's a decision. typically, there's a huge disincentive to employment people to make more money to invest if benefit to him. there is now 100% for deduction taxable allowance on investment, but it tends to be the invest more can use the big that invest more can use those taxable investment . now those taxable investment. now most of this country in the services industry doesn't get them doesn't get that and you don't get those massive investments of capital equipment that you can use to exactly use those deduction. thank you, liam. thank you. this turns back, right. back, i suppose that. right. still hill is still to come, william hill is set pay a whopping point £2 set to pay a whopping point £2 million for widespread and alarming . why isn't the alarming. but why isn't the gambling regulator suspending

the licences of companies that break the rules . we'll find out break the rules. we'll find out in just a moment

what is it 1127? you with the point with andrew pierce and bev turner? lots of people getting involved in the big debate about migration and moving those asylum seekers out of hotels . asylum seekers out of hotels. look, this is my jacqueline. jacqueline oh, you for being cynical. she says . just give cynical. she says. just give them all british citizenship as they land on the beach. then be at the bottom of the housing list with. no chance of being housed. i that will resonate with a lot of people. we've got an amazing tomorrow actually you must tune in about a british woman who's a baby but she woman who's had a baby but she can't her german can't live here with her german husband. but we will will be husband. but we will we will be talking that tomorrow. it talking about that tomorrow. it does a light on how does shine a light on how ridiculous some of our immigration gordon immigration policy is. gordon said way to said there's only one way to stop channel crossings. we stop the channel crossings. we should have learnt from the australians. boats australians. the small boats must be returned to france and if the french complain they can take all right,

take us to court. all right, time to lots more coming time to lots more viewers coming in now. email domestic abuse campaigners that campaigners won't schools that they in making they share a blame in making social media influence take popular young boys ? this popular among young boys? this all a yougov survey all comes as a yougov survey found almost a third of young men thought didn't about men thought society didn't about the. that's right the 36 year old romanian has detained old romanian has been detained to andrew of course, since to andrew tate, of course, since december he's accused december the 29th. he's accused of human rape and being part an organised crime group . well, organised crime group. well, joining us now for more is the associate professor of sociology at swansea university, ashley frawley. ashley, good morning. lovely to see you. i a little conflicted about tate. i can't deny. conflicted about tate. i can't deny . as the mother of a teenage deny. as the mother of a teenage boy and the mother of teenage girls , you look at him in two girls, you look at him in two different, different views. to some extent, for the boys there is something that he represents that they like for the girls, i find it quite terrifying. ashley explain why he's so popular. i think generally in society now we seem to have so we seem to be

offering very little to young men and to young women to a certain extent. but i there is a huge gap where becoming a man no longer has any meaning and in factit longer has any meaning and in fact it can be quite stigmatise . it can be associated with all sorts of evils and violence and sorts of evils and violence and so on. certainly there have been campaigns for a long time that in order to get people's around domestic violence , you know, domestic violence, you know, they tell horror stories just gradually over time when you tell a lot of bad stories , then tell a lot of bad stories, then you have a lot of campaigns around male violence. the idea across that men generally violent. it's not just that there are all sorts of other things going on. if you don't go to university, what are you going to do yourself right? you're getting married , kind of you're getting married, kind of take it or leave it. and so all society have rites of passage . society have rites of passage. societies have a. a situation in which a young person goes through some sort of right. which a young person goes through some sort of right . and through some sort of right. and comes out the other side at a higher status than they were

before. our society doesn't have that in. when you become an aduu that in. when you become an adult , it's that in. when you become an adult, it's kind of meaningless. and even you might even be passing into a lower status, you know , society says the children know, society says the children are the future which kind of says adult aren't that adults of today deal with problems and even they're the cause of problems. that's a real bad message to give to young people, a bad kind of cultural ethos . we a bad kind of cultural ethos. we have a cultural belief that we have. and i think as long as we keep blaming these individuals bad, be, we will bad, though they may be, we will never open never have this open conversation about what it means to be an adult and to give young people a meaningful adulthood and rites of passage recognise that they become something better and bigger than they were before . what andrew tate was before. what andrew tate was saying was because obviously not on social media at the moment, because he's banged up in romania. but what he was extremely at was social extremely good at was social media. he was good at putting out his videos, incredibly articulate, incredibly smart in some ways , and really understood some ways, and really understood his audience . he he espouses

his audience. he he espouses a view, doesn't he, of hard work not drinking, clean living a lot of what he says. i have no problem with but it's his views around that are incredibly troubling partly sometimes hard to tell whether he's saying it slightly with his tongue in cheek whether he knows he's being deliberately provocative, saying that women should be in the kitchen they shouldn't the kitchen and they shouldn't be out to work, that be going out to work, and that men should make money. it's all very prehistoric very kind of prehistoric attitudes. but there's something about he talks attitudes. but there's something ab men, he talks attitudes. but there's something ab men, young he talks attitudes. but there's something ab men, young men he talks attitudes. but there's something ab men, young men in he talks attitudes. but there's something ab men, young men in particular, to men, young men in particular, that they like that , ashleigh. that they like that, ashleigh. you know, they they it gives them certainty . and we've let them certainty. and we've let down a whole generation young men if they look into that and not as an aspiring be that without understanding the needs of women how do we get that balance right right . yeah balance right right. yeah i think what these people are speaking to is a gap . they're speaking to is a gap. they're looking for some authority, somebody will tell them, look

what it mean to be a man. what am i supposed to do here? because about 20, 30 years it's been bit a bit like anything goes right. i remember when i was growing up, i was so confused . i would ask my dad confused. i would ask my dad then what should i do? and what should i do with my life? and he was like, whatever you happy? those are qualities that mean. i don't know what that means. i want you to me give me something firm that i can hold to. and i think people really struggle when everything is fluid that you do need some strong boundanes you do need some strong boundaries and rules. you do need some strong boundaries and rules . and as boundaries and rules. and as long as we keep forgetting about that these people will come in and they will fill that gap. and the other thing that entertained very well was he fed off of cancel culture. he said deliberately provocative of things, knowing that the to shut him up would make him famous. and that's a lesson for everyone . you like andrew or . if you don't like andrew or ashley, that's ashley froehlich from the university swansea. now, still jeremy now, still to come, jeremy corbyn is fighting back. he's

calling it a shameful attack by keir been blocked, keir starmer. he's been blocked, of for the of course, to standing for the labour next general labour party the next general election we'll be discussing of that after your morning's news with right . that after your morning's news with right. is that after your morning's news with right . is exactly 11:34. with right. is exactly 11:34. here is the latest . thousands of here is the latest. thousands of asylum seekers be housed in old military bases and on a giant barge and plans due to be announced by the immigration minister later on today. it's the first major step in the government's pledge to end the controversial practise of housing asylum seekers in hotels. robert jenrick unveil initial proposals to move around 3000 migrants into two disused raaf bases. gb news understands the home office has already secured the use of the bases in essex and lincolnshire. however, it will face legal challenges . a it will face legal challenges. a new survey has found public satisfaction with the nhs has dropped to its lowest level since the survey began in 1983.

the british social attitudes survey also showed that dissatisfaction has in the last two years. only 9% of people are satisfied with how it runs. shadow health secretary wes streeting told us the main issue is staffing . streeting told us the main issue is staffing. nhs has streeting told us the main issue is staffing . nhs has suffered is staffing. nhs has suffered from terrible mismanagement over the course of the last 13 years by the conservative that's left the system desperately short of the system desperately short of the staff it needs to get patients seen on time. that's led to the highest waiting lists in the history of the nhs and the lowest patient satisfaction even the lowest patient satisfaction ever. what i hear commonly ever. and what i hear commonly from patients, and i experience this a myself , my experience this a bit myself, my experience with cancer, a couple of with kidney cancer, a couple of years ago, people could not be praising staff. they praising of nhs staff. they think doing brilliant think they're doing a brilliant job they simply aren't job but they simply aren't enough of them. well, the bank of says uk banks are of england says uk banks are resilient , despite global resilient, despite global turmoil in, the banking sector. however, amid the current volatility, the central bank says there's an urgent need to support market based finance ,

support market based finance, such as some hedge funds . such as some hedge funds. meanwhile, households and businesses are being warned they do face the risk of higher borrowing costs due to the impact on bank funding. borrowing costs due to the impact on bank funding . and the impact on bank funding. and the king and queen will arrive in germany for their state visit this afternoon . they're both this afternoon. they're both expected to receive military honours at the brandenburg gate in berlin, followed by a state banquet hosted by germany's president. it's charles and camilla's first foreign visit as heads of the royal family. the king's 29th trip to germany . on king's 29th trip to germany. on online. plus, radio and tune as well. this is gb news. back to beth and andrew in just a moment

really interesting story. three, gambling owned by william hill. they don't have to pay a fine of almost £20 million for failing

to protect customers . it's the to protect customers. it's the largest settlement in the history of the gambling commission. the gambling has been fined for widespread and alarming social responsibility and anti—money laundering failures . and anti—money laundering failures. but maybe and anti—money laundering failures . but maybe the failures. but maybe the commission should be doing more to tackle firms that break the rules. joining us now is the sports lawyer and head of frontrow legal, richard kramer. good , richard. this good morning, richard. this seems like an unusually large figure. is it for a gambling firm to be held bank to rights like this is a legal precedent . like this is a legal precedent. them so they get to appeal . them so they get to appeal. well, there was a big fine last year on ladbrokes coral's. i think they were for in 17 million. and research shows that all together there's been 26 different fines totalling . £76 different fines totalling. £76 million since the start of 2022. so it looks as if the gambling commission is very heavily penalised . these gambling penalised. these gambling companies , it looks as if it's a

companies, it looks as if it's a show off. the fact that we're going to see these imposed repeatedly over the next few months and years. you know, it's a, it seems a lot of a big fine, but the turnover of william hill, 1.8 billion in a year, 1.8 billion, 19.2 million is nothing. and you know, one new customer that they were concerned run up, spent £23,000 in the first 20 minutes of opening an account with william hill, a scandalous failure, dereliction of social responsibility, isn't it ? responsibility, isn't it? absolutely. and i think, you know, it has of connotations. i think the first one is this these fines could continue , but these fines could continue, but very soon a licence will be taken away from one of these big bookmaking firms. and that's really the only time when perhaps it will really hit them when the licences taken away. but i think it will also have an impact. we have the white paper , the new football regulator and there is every chance now that betting companies will not be

allowed to appear on on sponsorship nor on on the front of a shirt. so it's a serious problem . the gambling commission problem. the gambling commission are coming down very heavily for some of these fairly important issues, such as social responsibility and anti—money laundering . so i think it's the laundering. so i think it's the start of continued campaign here and rightly so. richard, what have they actually done in terms of social responsibility? how how is that assessed? what have they done wrong ? well, clearly, they done wrong? well, clearly, individual pools must have a limit on what they spend . i read limit on what they spend. i read somewhere that the and i think one particular person had a £75,000 limit. and yet allowed a £100,000 bet to be in to take place . but i think they're not place. but i think they're not enough checks. and clearly it's causing a lot of heartache amongst families. we know that ,

amongst families. we know that, unfortunately. and a gambling addiction can be quite wide spread, but it can have quite a big impact on the family. spread, but it can have quite a big impact on the family . and it big impact on the family. and it looks as if the betting companies are more obsessed with that. companies are more obsessed with that . and profits they are in that. and profits they are in terms of looking after by way of social that particular punters. so it just look as if at the moment it's more about profits than it is about ensuring that people's lives are kept intact . people's lives are kept intact. yeah. okay. thank you, richard. richard kramer, the head of front row legal . when you put it front row legal. when you put it like that, in terms of the profit and that fine, it's not much is it. 1.8 billion turned overin much is it. 1.8 billion turned over in a fine of 90 million. they were fined 6 million into 2018. up £32,500 of 2018. one guy ran up £32,500 of debtin 2018. one guy ran up £32,500 of debt in two days. it's scandalous . it's easy, isn't it? scandalous. it's easy, isn't it? man patel's back was due to. so is that controlling? yes. these days on online betting. how would you know . days on online betting. how would you know. has days on online betting. how would you know . has got six would you know. has got six different accounts. so to me they're not making enough

effort. are they? well, i tell you, i'm not anti betting only i'm not anti betting. i'm not a gambler myself. i do the lottery and i, you know, the grand national, but, but, but, but if you go to someone cheltenham, you go to someone cheltenham, you they, they the annual you know, they, they the annual meeting the betting industry is a huge colourful part of british life. sometimes and we wouldn't close down the drinks industry because people got . there are because people got. there are exceptions lives do get badly damaged and they have got to take more care not to do that. but i think it is the exception rather than the rule checks. they're not doing the checks. yes, absolutely. yes. now we want to talk about the new portrait the is doing portrait at the king is doing a of front pages today painted of the front pages today painted by alister let's take by alister barford. let's take a look, see what you think. wow. manu patel, what you make manu patel, what do you make that? i think it's gorgeous, andrew. you remember my andrew. and if you remember my study, i once had my portrait . study, i once had my portrait. it's a good, great picture . i it's a good, great picture. i remember phoning up the artist and i said, is vain to buy my own portrait . and he said, no own portrait. and he said, no one will think you'll find
