3:10 pm
adapted to accommodate migrant it's but right next to the wethersfield air base is the village. it took its name from a quiet community. now united opposition to such a large accommodation centre right on their doorstep at the moment. what we're expecting is from the 1st of april the home office will take charge of site tony clark holland , a leading voice clark holland, a leading voice in the campaign. clark holland, a leading voice in the campaign . the plans says in the campaign. the plans says communities 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 they're deemed to be racist. and thatis they're deemed to be racist. and that is not the case. it was group of young males anywhere, people could feel concerned . the people could feel concerned. the strain that would put in the local communities and local services. there's no facilities here. obviously they needed anything, whether it's medical emergency. we're just miles
3:11 pm
anywhere . the weekends, more anywhere. the weekends, more than 250 people from here. and whether and surrounding community is gathered in the village hall express those concerns concerns . the local concerns concerns. the local council revealed it plans to seek a high court to halt any to use the base for asylum seekers perfect £8.63 place this shop occasional postal office is the only store in wethersfield the owner says the lack of any engagement the home office is simply fuelling their concerns . simply fuelling 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 want them, it's the of not it's just the fact of it's not the right place to have them in. a very secluded village. this is a pattern . locals
3:12 pm
a familiar pattern. locals battling office plans to battling home office plans to host large scale asylum accommodation centres in their communities. the vast majority of these can't have been successful . but for the successful. but for the government, every leaves them with diminishing number of suitable . the prime minister has suitable. the prime minister has promised to end the controversial use of to house asylum larger scale accommodation centres on government owned sites. might seem like a logical move , but seem like a logical move, but not to those live right next to these facilities . mark white gb these facilities. mark white gb news wethersfield in essex well, one of the big critics is from local and local employees , etc. local and local employees, etc. is that the government really been upfront and honest with about where they're going be housing these people before. often plonked in hotels in their area or , an increase in cases area or, an increase in cases now potentially disused bases. but earlier this afternoon, the
3:13 pm
government announced that first tranche of sites needed to provide basic accommodation for the asylum and it was the job of immigration minister. robert jenrick address the commons. jenrick to address the commons. this remains this government remains committed to meeting our legal obugafion committed to meeting our legal obligation and to those who would otherwise be destitute . would otherwise be destitute. but we're not prepared to go further . but we're not prepared to go further. accommodation for migrants meet their essential living and nothing more because we cannot risk becoming a magnet for the millions of people who are displaced and seeking economic prospects . many of our economic prospects. many of our european partners are struggling with the same issue. belgium ireland, germany and france are having to take similar steps and the uk must adapt to this changing .context. oka y so a changing .context. okay so a couple of angles to this story today because we've got the bases, the raf and military bases, the raf and military bases that are going to be used now. there is also something going to address later on which
3:14 pm
is and barges. i've is about cruise and barges. i've been you gbviews@gbnews.uk . been you gbviews@gbnews.uk. would you rather have people in disused military bases offshore? so far, overwhelmingly it's offshore, but i'll get some specific for you shortly. i'm going to go live now to gb news is east midlands reporter will hollis, who's at a famous military base. we've been giving it a lot attention, shining a light it since scampton in light on it since scampton in lincolnshire, the former home of the well, what's the dambusters. well, what's going are .7 yeah going on where you are? yeah good afternoon, patrick. yeah, this is just outside the dambusters in which is the local pub here in scampton village. if you went maybe a hundred metres behind it, you'd find yourself in the middle of that raaf base that has such a lot of history and is celebrating its 80th anniversary since that dambusters raid. but of course nobody's really talking about that right now in scampton because everybody is talking about the news today that robert has been announcing the scampton is one of four different bases that are going to be used to
3:15 pm
house asylum seekers here in scampton. it's expected be around 1500 asylum seekers going to be housed in so—called temporary accommodation on that already off base. and people here are certain quite worried from the conversations that i've been having. but people also feel a little bit all torn because they do want to make sure that people fleeing war are protected and given the right sort of aid that they might need, if they are fleeing those places and find themselves on britain's shores. but the real question is, is this of a place, a village like scampton with not huge population? is this right sort of place to bring 1500 asylum seekers? so what we've been hearing from people in scampton taking massive safety risk because , you're put in, you risk because, you're put in, you want to put 1500 single males on their with us as residents who have children, we go to school, it's this base is very close is one way and one way out. so my biggest concern safety and also
3:16 pm
residents not being heard, not feeling safe in our own homes. we've had zero communication from from anyone involved. there was a meeting called that was held at the school but local residents in main weren't even able to get we were all stood outside in the rain and it that that meeting nothing else at all . all well of course that is mainly about the worries around safety and what's going to happen when you bring people in. but the other big question is what's going to happen to raaf scampton, which does such scampton, which does have such huge piece of history in lincolnshire is the home of bomber command, but also is that memory of how and britain certainly took took a bit of a change at that period in the war with the dambusters raid because there was expected to be £300 million of investment pumped into raaf . it is pretty much into raaf. it is pretty much a disused military base now. the
3:17 pm
raf and red arrows still use it for some things but it is pretty much quite quiet there now and this to create it in, to turn it into a heritage centre that would match the heritage centres around the rest of the country was big news and that's one of the reasons why here in scampton are quite upset . there was a lot are quite upset. there was a lot of money and a lot of jobs coming to scampton and they're quite worried about when this is all over, if it is just like robert jenrick says , temporary robert jenrick says, temporary accommodation these asylum accommodation for these asylum seekers. whether that promise £300 million worth of investment and levelling as they call it, does come . scampton yeah, look, does come. scampton yeah, look, indeed look well. thank you very, very much. well, the whole establishment from scampton, that military base, that the government is looking to try to introduce this as part of a wider range of measures. and i think at this point it's worth just recapping on some of the things that want to do. they're giving the a of giving the french a load of money to allegedly anyway patrol beaches and try to keep a few asylum seekers france. asylum seekers in france.
3:18 pm
they're the they're also increasing the border funding on the border force funding on the locations border force as locations of the border force as some french beaches , as some boots on french beaches, as it and also in an airport it were, and also in an airport . it's rwanda scheme looks . it's the rwanda scheme looks to be fingers crossed anyway, taking off there that taking off so there is that tougher laws so no re—entry for people tried enter the people who tried enter the country illegally increased deportation back to rwanda or to their own countries and. this one now which is about accommodation . so instead of the accommodation. so instead of the hotels and i know a lot of people have been in arms people have been up in arms about star hotels and about for star hotels and country manors etc. being used and even just a local holiday inn because it used to bring lot of a lot business traffic to of a lot of business traffic to the area, etc. so look at these raaf bases, but also this one that going to talk about that we're going to talk about now which potentially anyway disused cruise ships or barges, etc, we can . the latest from etc, we can. the latest from westminster for the political reactions from our political reporter darren mccaffrey darren. yes, what is the latest when it comes to these cruise ships? because as i understand it they haven't actually got any yet . no and no
3:19 pm
it they haven't actually got any yet. no and no detailed plan, it must be said patrick when it comes to uses of either barges or cruise ships. i think she's going to say it's not being ruled out. but there are certainly no details being fleshed out by robert jenrick, the immigration minister , who the immigration minister, who stood up in the commons just after pmqs this afternoon. we don't government's don't know what the government's going we don't going to procure any. we don't know many potential asylum know how many potential asylum they house, though he did they could house, though he did make reference to the fact that they are used in scotland or have at least been used over the last six months, that it seems that coming somewhat to that that's coming somewhat to an in netherlands an end. and in the netherlands too, i frankly this is too, i think frankly this is a bit of a pipe dream from the government to grab some headlines. about headlines. let's be honest about it. mooted several it. it's been mooted several times over the last six months by prime minister. in fact, by the prime minister. in fact, it was on the front pages in november. was front pages in november. it was front pages in december. front december. and it's on the front pages today. we're no pages again today. but we're no closer to that actually happening. then when it happening. and then when it comes the of bases and comes to the use of bases and down country, it's fair to down the country, it's fair to say, i think that amongst some mp gone down like a cup mp this has gone down like a cup of cold sick frankly patrick
3:20 pm
redwood leaves constituencies one said that is the one of those said that is the politics trying to do politics of trying to do something he's conservative mp something he's a conservative mp says how you protect the safety of a thousand people living right door to 1500 migrants right next door to 1500 migrants and a primary he can't guarantee the lib dems chucking a joke in at one stage suggesting that only the government come up with a plan to tackle this growing number of small people . a number of small people. a growing number of people in small by putting them all small boats by putting them all into one big boat. small boats by putting them all into one big boat . and also to into one big boat. and also to add to all this, patrick, you've got some conservative, some cabinet ministers potentially to take legal action to and prevent these raaf or military bases from being used, not least of all james cleverly, which led that cooper to suggest even for this government, it was quite extraordinary that the foreign secretary might be taking legal action against the home secretary. and although for state balance the government state of balance the government do that this is do recognise that this is a massive problem, even the opposition as well, it is costing 6 to 7 million quid a day on average hundred and £50
3:21 pm
being spent on those hotel rooms with the numbers increasing. but clearly isn't sustainable. the problem for the government is that almost every avenue we try is the moment that's just is at the moment that's just creaking political rows and creaking more political rows and the in would the somewhat boxed in i would suggest darren, you very much darren mccaffrey , our political darren mccaffrey, our political editor just reporting to us from, westminster, i'm going to move keep your move on from this, but keep your views thick and fast. views coming in thick and fast. vaiews@gbnews.uk is that email address? i'm asking whether or not to be housed not prefer people to be housed onshore moving onshore or offshore, but moving onshore or offshore, but moving on to this story, it is absolutely the police are investigating the murder of an 82 year old woman who died after robbers burst into her home and knocked to the ground. joy middleditch was found in a serious condition at a home in suffolk on saturday. she sadly died in hospital on monday morning . and the headlines have morning. and the headlines have been was she for her pension to give us more detail on this now gb news is national reporter paul hawkins, who's at same poll. what's the latest place .

3:28 pm
king charles is on his first state visit. he's in germany and to charles and camilla arrived in berlin this lunchtime there's some imagery there of them getting off the plane they have been due to go to france but. as we all know, that trip was postponed last because of the violent across. the violent protest across. the country cross live now to country we can cross live now to our reporter, cameron our royal reporter, cameron walker, is in berlin for us. walker, who is in berlin for us. cameron, you in poland a week or so ago. now you're in berlin again. i think i'm in the wrong job here. dropped him in our studios, what's going studios, but go on. what's going on? you.
3:29 pm
studios, but go on. what's going on? you . yeah bit of a jet on? where you. yeah bit of a jet setter the last couple of weeks patrick the king and queen consort in the last hour have left the brandenburg gates they were here for the stop on the official visits to germany it's the first time that the king and queen consort have undertaken the state visit of the new reign. it's also the first time the king has been abroad since becoming the new head state of the united kingdom . so it was the united kingdom. so it was the united kingdom. so it was the ceremonial welcome here at the ceremonial welcome here at the brandenburg gate and it was first time ever that any of state in history has been officially welcomed at location. usually it would happen . the usually it would happen. the presidential palace , but it was presidential palace, but it was chosen to be the brandenburg gate time. i think it's significant that the first state visits of charles, his reign was to a year nation rather than to a commonwealth nation and buckingham palace always takes advice from the government when it's deciding where to sends the king queen consort on a state visit and the government presumably that's europe intends
3:30 pm
strengthening those of ties with our european nations . what's the our european nations. what's the most important thing , however, most important thing, however, any nations clearly in the post—brexit the buckingham palace and the government were very keen see really try and strengthen and that is the whole theme of this particular visit here. so the king and queen consort were greeted a guard of honoun consort were greeted a guard of honour. they were greeted also by the presidents of here in berlin the flags were raised for union flag, german flag and european union . patrick as well european union. patrick as well . we has the national anthem of britain and germany played and it was relatively short actually whole ceremonial part of proceedings . the king and queen proceedings. the king and queen consort spent the vast majority of their time here greeting , of their time here greeting, members of the public who have come out to support them. and let me tell you, it looks the king and queen consort are incredibly popular here in. germany, know they've got germany, we all know they've got this clearly they this global because clearly they are famous the world are very famous the world and it's that power of soft diplomacy. i think patrick which
3:31 pm
which which really kind of resonates for the king and it's something i think british officials were really banking on in terms of the king being able to use power of soft diplomacy to use power of soft diplomacy to , really promote british to, really promote british interests on world stage. and tomorrow , the king is going to, tomorrow, the king is going to, for the first time as head states, and it's the first time ever a british head of state done this. he's going to address german parliament, the bundestag, significant . he has bundestag, significant. he has doneit bundestag, significant. he has done it before, but he was prince of wales back then. and clearly now he's king he can't get away with being perhaps political. big themes . political. we need big themes. this war in ukraine this trip are war in ukraine climate change as well as well as bilateral bilateral relations. so his choice of words being so on in his reign tomorrow are going to be very interesting, to listen, to. perhaps it could define what the rest of his reign will look like cameron. thank you very very much. come and walk out of our reporter in berlin for us. i yet again we're just seeing now

3:36 pm
rise think the reasons behind this fise dog think the reasons behind this rise dog attacks is? well rise in dog attacks is? well rightly pointed to in your introduction , we saw during the introduction, we saw during the pandemic huge increase in people , dogs. many of these people were , new dog owners, not were, new dog owners, not experienced that having goats. demand for dogs went the roof. so there wasn't not enough dogs to fill that demand. so people often turning to their second or third choice of dog and course they didn't have access to training or behavioural advice dunng training or behavioural advice during that time. so you have almost perfect storm. new owners bred by often by people had only bred by often by people had only bred dogs for the first time. couldn't get advice or training or socialise . so now we have or socialise. so now we have potential . a large number of potential. a large number of dogs that haven't had the correct socialisation or in their early life, which really a recipe for disaster. but if we just drill down to where i and i will say this in blue in the face, i am a massive that it's not the dog , it's the owner. and not the dog, it's the owner. and we seem to be indicating this. do we know that people who are irresponsible a, bit silly, got
3:37 pm
a dog because they thought was a toy during lockdown, didn't bother train and then this dog goes out and does something that it shouldn't. nobody's it shouldn't. and it's nobody's fault, a of the time fault, is it? a of the time you're absolutely right. i mean, it's very easy to get dog training, the largest dog training, run the largest dog training, run the largest dog training in the country training scheme in the country is the canine good citizen scheme. and it's available to everybody. but of course, people didn't have access that during lockdown. you're lockdown. and of course, you're absolutely of absolutely right. a lot of people to press. people didn't bother to press. they thought they didn't put enough thought in research about in to do their research about what was right for their what breed was right for their lifestyle . we're also concerned lifestyle. we're also concerned that a of dogs are that of a number of dogs are being we have to rehomed now it's up a little this it's gone up a little so this issue this situation occurred now and it going to be with us i think for the next year or so. but it's so important that people get that advice people go and get that advice and and their trained and go and their dogs trained and go and their dogs trained and look their so and really look their dogs so that can actually deal that they can actually deal these difficult situations. you i heanng these difficult situations. you i hearing stories earlier i was hearing stories earlier on and chatting about and people were chatting about it officers, well, we it and the officers, well, we need regulation on dogs need tighter regulation on dogs when regulation we when he tighter regulation we need licenced breeders. need more licenced breeders. therefore understand you therefore i can understand you
3:38 pm
already licenced already need to be licenced really be a breeder. i think really to be a breeder. i think we should have time to controls on who can get dog, the not on who can get the dog, the not the dog . well, know, lots of the dog. well, you know, lots of people have to have dog licensee, dog licence, sorry, a dog breeding licencing regulations were a few regulations were changed a few years . more licenced years. got more more licenced breeders more people have to have a licence now well have a licence now. well actually best source actually often the best source of puppies is actually the breeders who only have a pet dog. how have one of those who loses the race or low volume because they're often the right who shall actually be breeding . who shall actually be breeding. now unfortunately they've been because of the changes in regulations. a lot of those people have been turned off the dog it's just another dog ring. so it's just another thing actually thing what's actually happened actually perhaps created actually had perhaps created this situation . belle, can i put this situation. belle, can i put this situation. belle, can i put this to you .7 peta's been in this to you? peta's been in touch on the inbox . touch on the inbox. vaiews@gbnews.uk says we need to change the law to protect the public. old dogs when out in pubuc public. old dogs when out in public areas should be to wear a muzzle. what do you reckon, belle? well, of course, that's not really the case. this shouldn't be the case we have
3:39 pm
around about somewhere between ten and 14 million dogs in the country . and whereas the attacks country. and whereas the attacks have been on the increase, as you pointed out, they're still very rare . the vast majority of very rare. the vast majority of dogs are looked after by responsible it's those responsible owners. it's those ones we really need to reach. okay. alright. and also , could i okay. alright. and also, could i just put a cheeky little plug .7 just put a cheeky little plug? you might not like this if you from the kennel club, but i'm a big believer in and scruffy, scruffy little, which i often get referred quite often and go down to local dog. so we don't necessarily have put money in the pockets of the breeders do you. there are there all we know because sometimes healthier because sometimes the healthier as that it's just an as well you go that it's just an absolute of different absolute mish mash of different breeds dogs hope breeds that the dogs hope there's often a misconception that calico don't actually that the calico don't actually support crossbreed dogs absolutely we do we run the also breed rescue. so if people want a particular breed that they want rescue, one comes the want to rescue, one comes the kennel that breed rescue kennel club that breed rescue organisation. lots of organisation. we have lots of dogs we can find people the dogs that we can find people the right people for the right breed of dog, for the right for their
3:40 pm
first choice of there you first choice of dog. there you look, bill. very much, bill. look, bill. you very much, bill. i'm health and i'm sure there is health and welfare services welfare breeders services executive club. executive at the kennel club. i will not be moved on those people i think it's the fault of the owners and not the dog. very, very few exceptions with very few exceptions. know, very few exceptions. you know, if think the dogs are if people think the dogs are just toys and don't bother to train they get the train them and then they get the biggest puzzle. often do biggest dog puzzle. how often do you they went down you see, oh, they went down to the pound whatever and the local pound or whatever and bought a lovely bought this maps a lovely massive then they leave massive dog. then they leave alone with their two old alone with their two year old kid. two after getting it. kid. two days after getting it. and wonder happens, you and you wonder happens, you know, absolutely disgraceful. anyway, moving on patient satisfy nhs is satisfy function with the nhs is at an time low according at an all time low according a major new survey. i am convinced that pretty much every family in the uk whilst they will have some good things to say about the , will an nhs the nhs, will also have an nhs horror and i want find horror story and i want to find out why i'm patrick christys and this
3:43 pm
with the nhs dropped to its lowest ever level , according to lowest ever level, according to a major new survey and dissatisfied action with the service across the uk has in the last two years. as people struggle to access and they believe there aren't enough staff to deliver the high quality care . but these figures quality care. but these figures make for interesting reading . make for interesting reading. well, just looking at well, because just looking at them % of people think the them whilst% of people think the government spend enough money on the means% people the nhs, which means% of people do think the government spends enough nhs , 33% enough money on the nhs, 33% think that money is wasted and i can't help but wonder whether or not whether not now is getting to a point where. people are turning and saying what is going on the money that's being on with the money that's being spent let's have a spent in our nhs? let's have a look more detail at some of look now more detail at some of the reasons why people are unhappy. 69% it takes unhappy. so 69% said it takes too to get a gp too long to get a gp or a hospital appointment . 55% though hospital appointment. 55% though are not enough nhs staff. 50, says government does not spend enough money on nhs and that survey conduct by the national centre for research. joining me now is gb news, who's west
3:44 pm
midlands reporterjohn now is gb news, who's west midlands reporter john carson, who's at walsall manor hospital . i believe. and john, what have you got for us? well patrick it's really surprising these figures with the mix between people, how unsatisfied people , people, how unsatisfied people, but also the support in wake of the modelling of the nhs they've got. so of course the overall levels for the nhs . this survey levels for the nhs. this survey has dropped down to 29, not% down in a year and the largest drop that it's been in a year. when you compare that to, the level of overall satisfaction there was in the nhs back in 2010, it stood at 71. so it kind of gives you an idea of the downward in which the dissatisfaction in the public feel within the within the health service and. of course the majority of those deaths satisfied, were unhappy with the waiting times for gp and hospital appointment spot and accident and emergency . percent accident and emergency. percent of people saying that to be satisfied with the levels that they got there. but when you
3:45 pm
actually look at the support the nhs nine in ten people still believe it should be that free at use eight in ten people saying that there is an issue, a serious issue with funding for the nhs but the government say they're putting in £153 billion this year for the nhs and of course we've had the nurses the unions on strike over of course these over of course that their as well as conditions as well in staffing on wards health leaders in the last few have been asking the government to that if that if the unions accept those pay rise offers that it's going to come from fresh funding and not just out of existing budgets because health fees saying there's just no more fat left to trim . i've been speaking to trim. i've been speaking to a few people around the hospital here to find out satisfied they are with the nhs . i know all are with the nhs. i know all that satisfied due to some delays of appointment with the nhs . so i they need improvement nhs. so i they need improvement . oh yeah. the what he's done to
3:46 pm
schooling for the poor man is too long a very throat actually i think they do a good job they're doing the best they can in difficult situations and i have no complaints i had an operation a couple of years ago and i will looked after very well in middle of the pandemic for they do and i can understand people who get stressed out . and people who get stressed out. and they deserve they do deserve the payroll . this they deserve they do deserve the payroll. this might be a bit controversial, but they are the ones of both from the big the big politicians all get their voices, but nobody else does . voices, but nobody else does. well, matthew taylor , who's the well, matthew taylor, who's the chief executive of the nhs , said chief executive of the nhs, said that these survey results should a red flag for the government that with around 124,000 reported vacancies the nhs and a
3:47 pm
£10 billion maintenance backlog . that this is no surprise . but . that this is no surprise. but the nhs say they're committed to taking significant steps to improve that patient . john you improve that patient. john you very much john carson joining from outside walsall manor hospital reacting to the fact that news that public satisfaction with the nhs is at an all time low and it's easy it is easy for the chief executive nhs to throw their hands up and go wow, government should be really angry about this. undeniably, undeniably have been flaws in the way that the government, any government frankly approached the. frankly has approached the. there no doubt about that there can be no doubt about that whatsoever. have been whatsoever. and there have been gaping flaws and been mismanaged. sticking plaster politics. no one's disputing that. politics. no one's disputing that . but you do look politics. no one's disputing that. but you do look as that. but when you do look as well, the red flags now that well, the red flags be now that 32% of people think that the nhs to do better with the money that it's been given and only 50. i know it's done a lot, but only 50% of people think that it is underfunded. i daresay that figure would have been a lot higher. there was higher. traditionally there was growing people only
3:48 pm
growing amount of people only think now. not think there right now. well, not just says there's just me. the survey says there's a amount of people out a growing amount of people out there now who want the nhs to better run and managed from within. is a that within. and that is a view that shared the we have had shared in the inbox. we have had here, gerald. says , patrick, here, gerald. he says, patrick, very to hear this, the very sorry to hear this, by the way spent last night way geraldine spent last night with member and a so with the family member and a so sad to see how he was treated by staff. that's that's a real shame . janine staff. that's that's a real shame .janine so geraldine says shame. janine so geraldine says they were waiting whilst in severe pain and on offered nothing and the only friendly and helpful stuff with the doctor that was more a case of course actual treatment but how long has been honest is nhs is not broken or underfunded , just not broken or underfunded, just badly mismanaged and they think that they need to get rid of some the who are within the some of the who are within the nhs chain. wonder how long it is before current members of the nhs that you nurses. it's nhs staff that you nurses. it's that instead that trying to actually instead maybe always turning on the government starts to have a little bit of look up the little bit of a look up the chain and go well, how are you running this place? because there is quite a lot money there is quite a lot of money being it. but he
3:49 pm
being pumped into it. but he could always, of course, more could always, of course, be more your views. vaiews@gbnews.uk and before, and look, like i said before, sadly think everyone out there sadly i think everyone out there will some stories, the will have some good stories, the nhs stories, but an nhs good stories, but also an nhs good stories, but also an nhs horror all to as well. nhs horror story all to as well. and that can't be good enough, can in touch? gb views can it? get in touch? gb views at gb don't you? cable at gb news don't you? cable or moving from because moving on from that now because the government been accused the government has been accused of adequately and of failing to adequately and adapt climate according to adapt for climate according to its own advisers. so yeah, but there's more to it than this because a new report from the climate change committee says that the uk is at risk of a host of climate related threats. it claims the government is guilty of over a lost decade. of presiding over a lost decade. well now by well okay. i'm joined now by andrew mumford , who's the deputy andrew mumford, who's the deputy director net zero watch. director of net zero watch. andrew, got to ask. okay. andrew, i've got to ask. okay. we were told that we have to mitigate everything we had mitigate for everything we had to try to do everything we can to try to do everything we can to climate change, not to reverse climate change, not preparing fact some preparing for the fact some climate change was going to happen or differences in the climate and building things like increased defences and barricades , etc. and now we're barricades, etc. and now we're being oh , told, you're way
3:50 pm
being oh, told, you're way behind the curve. you should have been preparing for all of this of course the this stuff. yeah, of course the climate change committee wants government to do both because the, the climate change committee sees its role as it's trying to extract as much money from the taxpayer as possible . from the taxpayer as possible. it is true to say that adaptation is the sensible way to deal with climate change trying to change the climate in 2050 is insane. in essence , 2050 is insane. in essence, what's the climate as you point out changes it's changed. it's been changing for hundreds of years. thousands of years, millions of years. and just adapt to it. we're good. we're very adaptable species. we're very adaptable species. we're very good at changing . so, yeah, very good at changing. so, yeah, what we should be doing is seeing what changes to the climate come our way and dealing with them as they happen okay, now get on. can't just ask, can i just ask you all not to drill down a bit would you in your view do almost to try to combat
3:51 pm
climate change right now especially considering that places like china and india are not going to roll back on any of their mass pollution . would you their mass pollution. would you singularly focus on trying to build up defences and resilience against the climate changes, maybe coming . okay. well, the maybe coming. okay. well, the two aspects of that, you're quite right that and india and much of the developing world are not going to do anything about eliminate fossil fuels. they have more , they have greater have more, they have greater priorities they are trying to get their people out of poverty so they're going to carry so that makes trying to mitigate climate change a bit of a nonsense. the other thing to say about it is that mitigation is already more expensive than the cost of climate change. the medicine worse than the disease . so to that extent, yes you're right, i would be doing little or nothing on on trying to change the weather because it is
3:52 pm
clearly irrational do so you say would i be trying to build up our defences? well, no, i'm not sure i'd be doing that right now. i wait to see what the climate would say . that's too climate would say. that's too late andrew. i've just got to put to you before i let you go and people would say that's too late. and if you act now either by to change the climate the better or put up defences , then better or put up defences, then millions of people will die . the millions of people will die. the idea that millions of people will die is nonsense . how long will die is nonsense. how long doesit will die is nonsense. how long does it take? build a build a seawall a bit higher. i mean, it really doesn't very long. we do it all the time instead of building the sea wall. i mean, it's really in the couple, a couple of inches of the bridge. yeah. it'sjust. yeah. yeah. it's just. yeah. camaraderie. thank you very much andrew mumford for those the deputy director of net—zero. thank very for bringing us thank you very for bringing us that the latest that basically are shockingly, shockingly unprepared any kind of unprepared for any kind of climate disaster. what do you
3:53 pm
make, alexis sanchez? would you rather spend money now trying to come climate change net zero come by climate change net zero gender electric cars and all of this stuff or would you that we pump money into things like sea defences etc. it's not quite as black and white as that, but i want to know your views on it either way. but now some very either way. but now to some very sad news because tributes have been presenter been paid to the tv presenter and comedian national treasure reilly who reilly paul o'grady, who unexpectedly last night at age of 67 during his career, the entertainer known for his drag persona, lilly , as well as persona, lilly, as well as hosting the paul o'grady show blind date, blankety blank , for blind date, blankety blank, for which he won numerous accolades, including a tv and a national television award . he was also a television award. he was also a long time advocate for animals hosting on tv's multi award winning series for the love of dogs and acting as an ambassador for battersea dogs and cats home as shown in this short , it's as shown in this short, it's been extraordinary few months for. all dogs . been extraordinary few months for. all dogs. in your and it

4:09 pm
in lincolnshire, essex , east in lincolnshire, essex, east sussex, with the possibility housing them on ships , former housing them on ships, former cruise ships, barges still being considered, although that remains slightly shrouded in mystery. it has led me to ask you, though, whether or not you'd people were you'd rather these people were housed bases or housed in military bases or offshore those views coming offshore get those views coming in gbviews@gbnews.uk . the in gbviews@gbnews.uk. the decision is expected to save money and become deterrent to those who to britain illegally . those who to britain illegally. the lincolnshire site is raaf scampton, which is the famous home, the dambusters during the second world war. but while raaf f wethersfield is in the of braintree and now as local mp, the foreign secretary as well for what it's worth james cleverly is based on home security a time one has been to wethersfield which is expected to house 2000 illegal immigrants. check this out . to house 2000 illegal immigrants. check this out. high this essex air base . it's easy this essex air base. it's easy to see why the home office would view this facility as an attractive option . house asylum
4:10 pm
attractive option. house asylum seekers across the site are multiple disused former residential blocks, which could easily adapted to accommodate meagre . but right next to, the meagre. but right next to, the wethersfield air base is the village. it took its name a quiet community now united in opposition to such a large scale accommodation centre right on their doorstep at the moment. what we're expecting is from the 1st of april the home office will take charge of the site. tony clark holland, a leading voice in the campaign against the plans the communities around this would be overwhelmed by such a large accommodation . some such a large accommodation. some people worried about voicing that concern because suddenly they're deemed to be racist . and 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 feel concerned the strain
4:11 pm
that would put on the local communities and local services. there's no facilities here obviously they needed anything, whether it's medical emergency, which is the lowest from anywhere . at the weekend, more anywhere. at the weekend, more than 250 people from here. and whether fields and surrounding communities is gathered in the village hall express those concerns concerns . the local concerns concerns. the local council revealed it plans to seek a high court injunction to hold to any attempt to use the base for asylum seekers perfect . £8.63 place this tiny shop occasional post office . the only occasional post office. the only store in wethersfield . the owner store in wethersfield. the owner says the lack any engagement from the home office is simply feeling they are concerns. if it's a detention centre that's no good surely for people who are not familiar with the area. i've been cooped up in one small
4:12 pm
space, but then if they are allowed to roam free. then it's another concern. so we're not saying we don't want them. it's just fact of it's not the just the fact of it's not the right place to have them in. a very secluded village. this is a familiar pattern locals battling home office plans to house large scale asylum accommodation centres in their communities. the vast majority of these camps have been successful , but for have been successful, but for the government, every victory leaves them with diminishing 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 logical move, but not those who live right next to these planned facilities . mark white, gb news facilities. mark white, gb news wethersfield . in well i'm wethersfield. in well i'm actually going to go to what this field now and i'm very grateful to have tony call and
4:13 pm
you might have caught a little glimpse of in wise little glimpse of in mount wise little that he brought to us that now tony resident tony is a wethersfield resident and the deputy chairperson, the field association and. is that now? good stuff. thank you very much. the time for us much. making the time for us here. really appreciate. i'm just read you an that just going to read you an that was to whilst i came on was sent to me whilst i came on air here and this is an official home office statement and it says surplus military sites scampton and wethersfield where you are will accommodate asylum seekers who enter the uk early on small boats . now some people on small boats. now some people would say that they are illegal migrants. okay how do you feel about the idea that your town is going to be used to house potentially of those people people .7 well, thanks for having people? well, thanks for having me on town. that is the wrong description for it. i a small village, 700 people in the. and the actual village sits outside the actual village sits outside the banks. and, of course the base itself is just very rural. so it just seems to me to be the
4:14 pm
wrong place for any developer, not just asylum to any large , not just asylum to any large, just doesn't seem to have been thought through . i want would thought through. i want would you say if they were deaf, italy very much contained within the base, though, because is the concern that they might be given free rein, not just that they would be there. well, as as i'm aware and bear in mind, we've had no consultation from, the home office, and that's part of the real frustration because some of these questions you ask me, i'm not going no me, i'm not going go no definitive answer. but they're not be contained within not going to be contained within base they'll be free to base per say. they'll be free to come and because they're asylum seekers so it's not a detention centre , it's a centre where they centre, it's a centre where they can . and of the concern can go. and part of the concern for the community is when they leave the base you'll on very small, old mediaeval with no pavements, no pathways and everything else that will cause concerns with additional services, trucks, lorries and of course the local traffic as it to the probably fatalities that
4:15 pm
are you concerned that it will change your way of life local residents way of life . well residents way of life. well there is no doubt it will change there is no doubt it will change the way of life but that came predominantly because of all the traffic additional traffic we brought to the area. i mean bear in mind that this base has been kind of dormant, in mind that this base has been kind of dormant , for want of a kind of dormant, for want of a better word, for the last sort of 25, 30 years, maybe more now and so literally exciting as it gets here is a couple of foxes or a pheasant having having a fight. so suddenly you have all this additional traffic and don't you get on top the asylum seekers themselves be staff, there'll be services . so there'll be services. so additional lorries, traffic , all additional lorries, traffic, all those sort of things. and yeah, of course they'll have a massive impact on was a very small and rural location. tony you alluded to something earlier on. i'd like to about is about like to ask you about is about the idea that people this village who are against it potentially 2000 people from
4:16 pm
goodness knows where being plonked into quite a sleepy area if you were against that then not be something to do with you being . part of far right or being. part of far right or something. respond to that fully . well we had a meeting on sunday the local village hall and predominantly it was to what information we knew which mission we had and to see what to let people know what they could do and the information sharing process we had over 250 people turned up local community where that doesn't happen often at all in a sleepy little village. so that was a good turnout. so of course had lots of questions and everything else. but what we were putting forward as a as a residents association as such was , our association as such was, our opfions association as such was, our options are to write to communicate with people , you communicate with people, you know, home office, living joined up as well as our local authority . and look at how we authority. and look at how we could how we could interact to actually put forward the concerns for all parties involved and which has been stonewalled . well, turning last
4:17 pm
stonewalled. well, turning last last year, we had something like 50,000 make their way 50,000 people make their way across channel and a lot of across the channel and a lot of people, especially live people, especially who live in big cities , certain parts of big cities, certain parts of with a very vocal core of people as gary lineker's of this world, for example, will be looking at you now and saying, tony, you've got to do your bit and your local area has got to do your best. why should your area be so special and not take its fair share? asylum seekers and refugees . i share? asylum seekers and refugees. i mean , it's a good refugees. i mean, it's a good question, really . and again, the question, really. and again, the whole point of this is everyone says that these people have got to be house somewhere . they're to be house somewhere. they're seeking asylum. so it's got to be somewhere. and that makes complete sense. why shouldn't it be well, again we're back be here? well, again we're back to because the wrong place to because it's the wrong place for seekers and the for the asylum seekers and the wrong place for the community. and basically whatever we think, whatever opinion on all asylum seekers , they should have access seekers, they should have access and facilities to the things they're going to need and the community should be able to as well help support that. and that
4:18 pm
is just not the case here. the urban development far more able to have , though, support to have, though, support elements in place. simple as that, really. okay, tony thank you very much. obviously a pleasure. that's and good luck to you as well. i'm sure we'll be again soon. that is tony clark. now, is the weatherfield resident and as well, clark. now, is the weatherfield resident and as well , deputy resident and as well, deputy chairperson of the fields association . yes. get your views association. yes. get your views coming on that. association. yes. get your views coming on that . and, gents, coming in on that. and, gents, gbviews@gbnews.uk to cross gbviews@gbnews.uk going to cross over westminster over now, though, to westminster to latest from our to get the latest from our deputy it's deputy political editor. it's tom harwood. tom, thank you very much for joining tom harwood. tom, thank you very much forjoining us. right so a couple of things here. we've just done the old military bases, another being put forward is cruise ships and barges. but apparently we haven't got any cruise ships or barges just yet so it's a little bit behind this quy- so it's a little bit behind this guy. what's going on? well these are obviously early of plans and we heard a bit more detail from . robert jenrick, the immigration minister in the house of commons, speaking a hours ago. we know that the
4:19 pm
plans for these are predominantly the well exclusively , he revealed in the exclusively, he revealed in the house of commons for lone males . these are people that the government does not believe to be genuine seekers. these are potentially economic migrants and will be placed on the barges . but crucially, the concern is around, for example , around, for example, unaccompanied children , children unaccompanied children, children with families or women . they with families or women. they will not be those people that are determined for barges. that was very clear from robert jenrick earlier today . however, jenrick earlier today. however, there is clearly a desire from there is clearly a desire from the government an intention , the government an intention, explicitly laid out intention to procure some floating containment for those who are currently in hotels and that is of course part , of this whole of course part, of this whole deterrent strategy . that is a deterrent strategy. that is a clear part of what has been announced today is , not just
4:20 pm
announced today is, not just about reducing cost, which, of course are spending £6 million a day on these hotels for , asylum day on these hotels for, asylum seekers and these asylum seekers who have not yet been processed . but clearly , what part of this . but clearly, what part of this strategy the government is announcing, whether it's detention sites or indeed floating detention sites, is about trying to ensure that this is an attractive proposition for those who currently within migrant camps like calais, for example, to come to the uk. the concern within government is that the conditions in northern france are so much worse than some of the frankly luxury hotels that the or indeed taxpayer currently funding for these claimed asylum seekers . these claimed asylum seekers. tom, thank you very much. tom tom, thank you very much. tom tom harwood there is our deputy political editor and that was the latest when it comes to the double pronged approach now that we were hearing today. so definite use of military bases and a variety of different
4:21 pm
across the country to house asylum seekers or people i should say who came illegally across the channel. so this isn't your kind of afghan interpreter , is it? these are interpreter, is it? these are people who came illegally across the channel and they are going to be scams and out of calls to be in scams and out of calls in whether filled well. and in whether filled as well. and yes potentially anyway, boats and processing being and offshore processing being used. i've been asking you what you of. i'll go into you make of all of. i'll go into that inbox shortly, but i'm going to whizzes over to another story and is shocking story now. and this is shocking case because police are the murder year woman murder of an 82 year old woman who after mass robbers who died after mass robbers burst her knocked burst into her and knocked her to middleditch to the ground. joy middleditch was a series condition was found in a series condition at home in suffolk on. she at her home in suffolk on. she sadly in hospital monday sadly died in hospital monday morning. we're going to go now to gb news. national reporter paul hawkins who pakefield paul hawkins who is in pakefield in for us. paul, what's the very latest place .7 yeah, the police latest place? yeah, the police investigation continuing . investigation continuing. speaking to chief inspector ashfield donohue earlier from suffolk police, he told me this

back at five to. patrick okay so chancellor jeremy hunt has criticised truss and kwasi kwarteng as many budget, but he told the treasury committee this morning that mistakes were made . the former prime minister and her chancellor but now, of course truss has hit back return to the truss with. her spokesman arguing real mistakes arguing that the real mistakes really line how this decision to hike tax recent spring hike tax in his recent spring budget. let's get more with our economics and business editor liam halligan with on the money . yes talk to me. well the return of the tory tax wars, patrick jeremy was making a pretty humdrum appearance at the treasury committee, standing room only at the house of commons. cross—party group of mps. now, when the chancellor gives a two or three hour
4:36 pm
testimony, obviously financial markets listen, it . i'm jesting. markets listen, it. i'm jesting. but then he came up with a sort of political zinger, basically into liz truss , her former into liz truss, her former chancellor, kwasi kwarteng . chancellor, kwasi kwarteng. remember that mini—budget back in september where they announced loads of things, including cutting top rate of tax and then financial markets went this what jeremy went haywire. this what jeremy hunt said in the commons earlier today. there were some today. yes there were some mistakes in the mini—budget to which we had to reverse and in particular i think it's clear you can't fund tax cuts through borrowing. so that's a that is a clear thing that we changed course on. now, i would contest that and i future historians will contest in fact, they already are. i think the real reason the mini—budget went haywire in financial markets was actually because interest rates are going up across the world. bank of england hadn't raised interest rates far enough fast .
4:37 pm
interest rates far enough fast. enough. so the pound was losing ground against the dollar. another and also the bank of england. in their wisdom, a couple of days before mini—budget when they knew that was a big fiscal package coming from , a pretty radical new prime from, a pretty radical new prime minister in chancellor who are keen to make their mark. the bank england decided, funnily bank of england decided, funnily enough time to enough that that was the time to start all that start unwinding all that quantitative , basically selling quantitative, basically selling bonds that they'd bought back to the market, in other words, making it even harder the government to borrow. but i just put that out there so i, i just put that out there so i, i just put that out there. but interestingly, in response to that, a pretty sort that, that was a pretty sort barbed attack. know , with barbed attack. you know, with a straight smiling face. yes on liz there , a spokesperson liz truss there, a spokesperson for liz truss hit back within an hour of that statement that hunt gave to the house of commons. and this is what they said, raising tax from 19% to 25, which of course, what the just did. looks like a pretty mistake right now . and when you consider right now. and when you consider how a firm like astra's and one of the british massive
4:38 pm
pharmaceutical companies , the pharmaceutical companies, the head of the vaccine effort, is locating new plant in ireland, where a corporation tax is half the rate now being levied . the the rate now being levied. the british government is it 12.5.7 the like it will lose the treasury like it will lose revenue as a result of that decision. now again , i would say decision. now again, i would say as an economist, but also reporting what the likes of the national institute for economic social research says , even what social research says, even what the ifs says , which is a very, the ifs says, which is a very, very kind of establishment institute fiscal studies tank. there is a lot of concern there. that raising corporation from 19 to 25% will result in a, you know a slowdown in growth less invest and actually less revenue from business for the treasury . from business for the treasury. so when liz truss says through her spokesman i do think she's speaking again to the business community and a lot of us out in the real world who think raising corporation tax to the extent that jeremy hunt did is a pretty bad idea. that jeremy hunt did is a pretty badidea.so that jeremy hunt did is a pretty bad idea. so what happened today is that the government, the
4:39 pm
chancellor, they really were pressing advantage against this sort of awkward tory backbenchers, those people who want the tax cuts just lost a big vote, of course, on those in ireland. borisjohnson big vote, of course, on those in ireland. boris johnson the liz truss rebelled against the rebellion was a damp squib on that windsor framework and so jeremy hunt tried to sort of presses advantage and truss and the people around her are really hitting back she's often laughed at liz truss as the shortest ever minister shortest term prime minister in british history . but there are people history. but there are people around her who still remain influential in the conservative party not to make her leader , party not to make her leader, but for the ideas she's espousing. well, that's one of the big problems, isn't it? really that her ideas now may well end up being put out to pasture as a result of it all being wrapped up as part of oh, well, she was the shortest ever serving and that was a stupid thing to do isn't it because people can still have good ideas and. right. right. and. that's right. that's right. in would say, unless, in the end, i would say, unless, you the tax burden is a 70 you know, the tax burden is a 70 year high, the highest since
4:40 pm
clement post—war labour clement attlee's post—war labour government, are awful government, there are an awful lot businesses out there who government, there are an awful lot suffering. ises out there who government, there are an awful lot suffering. and)ut there who government, there are an awful lot suffering. and it'sthere who government, there are an awful lot suffering. and it'stherejusto are suffering. and it's not just the beasts who corporation the big beasts who corporation tax city titans. the bigger tax the city titans. the bigger companies can actually take advantage of in fairness to jeremy hunt. the tax allowances he has put forward. so if you in your business by equipment and so on, you can fully expense it. you can offset it against your tax bill. corporate tax will be 100, but the smaller companies will be paying 19% and then going up to 25. so 250 grand, they make those big investments. they haven't deep pockets. they can't borrow money to take advantage of those capital allowance . i wouldn't be allowance. i wouldn't be surprised, patrick, if tax the rates we've just the first rise since the early seventies i wouldn't be surprised if the rate came down soon. well fingers crossed it does liam. thank you very much. as i have a liam halligan now our economics and business editor went on the right okay those more still right okay so those more still to ladies and to come here ladies and gentlemen, should ministers be given over rule given the chance to over rule parole is a big one.

4:49 pm
a hospital air force. i've been asking you what you make it all because we have record levels of dissatisfaction with the nhs what is interesting is that so 50% of people think it needs more money, which obviously means that 50% of people don't. 32% of people think they should spend money better. there's waste there always asking you whether or not you've had good or bad experiences. the nhs, i expect most of you have had a mixture of both. okay peter says he was diagnosed with bladder cancer about that. cancer. to hear about that. peter two weeks ago have an peter just two weeks ago have an examination. weeks after examination. two weeks after seeing gp who saw me within seeing my gp who saw me within 12 hours scan two days after my diagnosis , he says he's got diagnosis, he says he's got nothing but praise for the nhs and crossed that and fingers crossed that continues. peter and good luck to of course , i'll have to you. of course, i'll have another one here, which is very much a mixed i can't find much a mixed bag. i can't find the this one at the minute, the name this one at the minute, but were saying they but they were saying that they were all went were kidney donor. that all went well. but then their partner unfortunately was away discharged they shouldn't discharged when they shouldn't been without antibiotics. and they more as they got made more sick as result of and i've had one
4:50 pm
result of it. and i've had one here as well from christine who says that they she very, very annoyed at what she believes is annoyed at what she believes is a huge amounts of waste and blames mis management. she does wheel out the line of why are they paying so much for diversity. she officers etc. and nurses get all money. it's nurses don't get all money. it's a the isn't it? a mixed bag. the nhs isn't it? it's bag. but i can't it's a mixed bag. but i can't help but as though we are help but feel as though we are getting to the point if not, maybe already got to the point. now looking at does now of looking at right. does the enough money now. the nhs have enough money now. a lot that we're it every lot that we're giving it every single year. a lot of hundred 50 billion the rest billion quid and the rest doesn't need to be spent better. and be spent better? and how can it be spent better? that's what i want to know. but any way that we go. well, moving on now, this is another hot topic people. i'm sick topic for people. okay. i'm sick and this one. gary and tired of this one. gary glitter got released from prison. i think prison. every single i think with eyes and ears with a brain and, eyes and ears was no, this shouldn't was saying, no, this shouldn't be happening. the same one for colin warboys, colin pitchfork john warboys, the very the black cab rapist was very nearly was nearly released. he was scheduled for release then scheduled for release and then nothing got rolled back and people what on people were thinking, what on earth on the parole earth going on with the parole board? well potentially it might be are
4:51 pm
be sorted. killers who are considered parole could stay considered for parole could stay locked life under new locked up for life under new plans allow ministers to veto plans to allow ministers to veto decisions to release the new victims and prisoners bill is aimed at giving greater rights to victims of crime in england and wales it also mean and wales but it will also mean ministers have the overturn ministers have the to overturn decisions release prisoners under parole basically they can be forced serve their full sentence. so no you're out in half the time. i'm joined now by card who is a former inmate and a joins me now. i believe you. thank you very much for joining me. now look, where do you stand on this? because the parole board cops, when they make many people regard as being highly irrational decisions to allow people who have raped people or been guilty of child sex offences, etc. out earlier than their sentence. what do you make it either? patrick padgett the thing is, well, good news travels fast, bad news travels faster . i travels fast, bad news travels faster. i mean, we and this is the parole board has always you know, we need there's always
4:52 pm
going to be spillage. you know we've got to accept that there's always going to be people that actually go through the net with regards to ministers getting i just think it needs to be free from their political influence because as we know, ministers will go whatever you know whatever get them a vote. for instance . and everybody's an instance. and everybody's an expert . everybody's an expert in expert. everybody's an expert in everybody expertise. so i think we should leave to the parole board and, you know, we have to be realistic and understand that there are going to be spillages. but the end of the day, the experts to do their job and in experts to do theirjob and in terms of ministers getting involved i don't think it's a great idea because it could also have an effect on the rehabilitation of people that are blocking the release of prisoners out are demonstrating a positive change as good. look if you don't mind me asking, what were you in prison for .7 what were you in prison for? were you given parole .7 yes, were you given parole? yes, i went i was i was i was found guilty of murder through the
4:53 pm
controversial joint enterprise , controversial joint enterprise, which means that i didn't physically kill somebody, but i was present when the unfortunate victim had been struck with a bat . it was a victim had been struck with a bat. it was a single blow and something that obviously stays with me and is going to be with me for the rest of my life. i saw prison an opportunity to learn and to better myself . and learn and to better myself. and today, obviously , a personal today, obviously, a personal trainer . i today, obviously, a personal trainer. i also i'm a motivational speaker and i'm a do positive mindset work. i go around prisons , brothels, do around prisons, brothels, do anti—crime workshops. i go , i anti—crime workshops. i go, i was at five wells, actually. then under just is just to then underjust is just to interrupt. sorry, just to cut across to that. but under proposal anyway if the parole board had said that you as someone who was was found guilty of murder through joint enterprise, was about to be released early . a minister released early. a minister a government minister could step in and say no, this guy is a killer, essentially . and you
4:54 pm
killer, essentially. and you shouldn't be allowed to walk the streets before you served every single minute of that sentence that the judge handed to you and i wonder whether or not you would have some sympathy for older members of the public who don't know you. i've never met you. and frankly, maybe the victims as well. you might think, well, that's right, you should every of his should serve every minute of his sentence. you make of that? sentence. do you make of that? well, definitely well, i'll definitely listen when guilty and given a when found guilty and given a life sentence, you will serve . life sentence, you will serve. the judge knows how to recommend you x number years. you serve x number of years. that's a minimum recommendation. that's a minimum recommendation. that mean you're that doesn't mean that you're going be released you going to be released that you know, if say you pursue it, know, if they say you pursue it, see you as a threat or think that you're going to be committing further upon committing further crimes upon release, yeah release, then of course, yeah the well well , they won't the well well, they won't release you, but at the same time, you know , everybody i feel time, you know, everybody i feel is loved deserves a second chance.i is loved deserves a second chance. i don't know when i say that. i don't think of child predators. but the way we look, i mean so let me just get this straight . so the parole board straight. so the parole board are capable of keeping people
4:55 pm
inside prison, but they're not capable of . releasing them is , capable of. releasing them is, that right. i mean, is that essentially what it would mean is that if the parole board decides to release someone on parole , then ministers could get parole, then ministers could get involved , say, no, we don't involved, say, no, we don't think that guy or should be allowed they should be made to serve every single minute of that of their sentence . parole that of their sentence. parole board be allowed to board would be allowed to completely . no, they also completely. no, but they also would put centrally blocked. would be put centrally blocked. so it would be like a second check on the parole board, basically. there will be basically. yeah, there will be a second check, but i can't see if ministers get involved that they're release they're going to release prisoners if prisoners based on that. and if they going to be overriding they are going to be overriding they are going to be overriding the board, then why don't the parole board, then why don't they rid of parole they just get rid of the parole board, complete get board, complete leigh, and get the ministers to do the job and keep everybody in for indefinite, so to speak. and as a l indefinite, so to speak. and as a , immigration crisis a result, immigration crisis that currently will now that we've currently will now become , whereby immigrants are become, whereby immigrants are actually refugees, that actually no hotels are not going be a problem where prisoners are going be in hotels. and if £6
4:56 pm
going to be in hotels. and if £6 million a day is going to is million a day is going to be is what costs the what it costs to keep the refugees in prison, then time's up refugees in prison, then time's ”p by refugees in prison, then time's up by a hundred and go forward . up by a hundred and go forward. you'll obviously you'll find that obviously there'll no money for there'll be no money left for anything what we do is we anything else. what we do is we need to focus on rehabilitation . we need to focus on rehabilitation. we need to get prisoners the appropriate certifications and let them give them a chance of , you know, give them a chance of, you know, give them a chance of, you know, give them the positive mindset seminars . them the positive mindset seminars. let me give you an example just very briefly. i've got me very, very quickly as we literally got seconds. but but were you were released were were you you were released were you given a life sentence, then released so it released on parole early? so it wasn't for i was a yeah, wasn't for you, i was a yeah, yeah.i wasn't for you, i was a yeah, yeah. i given a life yeah. i was given a life sentence. was on my due sentence. i was on my due considering the parole board . so considering the parole board. so that obviously changed and i was able to demonstrate in cyprus. and yes , thank you very much. and yes, thank you very much. i really appreciate your time. we'll talk again very soon. cheers that as carl knows, a former prison inmate just reacting the latest updates reacting to the latest updates on the board and whether on the parole board and whether or ministers could people or not ministers could people were really were frankly like guards really actually getting out and about

5:09 pm
further . but we're not prepared to go further. accommodation for migrant should meet the essential needs and nothing more because we cannot risk becoming a magnet for the millions of people who are displaced and seeking better economic prospects in many of our european are struggling with same issue belgium , germany and same issue belgium, germany and france are having to take similar and the uk must adapt to this changing context. i wonder whether not someone wants to tell him that we've already become magnet, but there we go. i did speak earlier to a local resident wethersfield, which is one of the areas which will and i'm quoting a government report here will help people entered the uk illegally on small boats. many people will call those people illegal immigrants and i whether or not the people of that village are happy about the fact that those people might now outnumber local residents at least 2 to 1, gb news presents an angel farage joins me now to
5:10 pm
give his take on all of this. nigel, it's not just former military bases is it supposedly cruise ships which we haven't actually bought. yeah what do you this latest you make of this latest announcements well, forget announcements that well, forget about the cruise ships mean that's way down the road . they that's way down the road. they haven't signed anything no timeframe on whatsoever, but they got what they want it because the sun put it on the front page and that gets to the heart of everything that was done today this is pure spin it's as if the days of tony blair are back. it's all a big pr exercise. let be clear, after what the rather low grade jenrick has said to, the house of commons nothing that has been said today will. stop the boats. it will not reduce the cost not a single person will come out of the over 450 hotels that are full around the country already costs go up and i do think about it the east sussex ground that was announced. all right . the
5:11 pm
was announced. all right. the nonh was announced. all right. the north sea camp that will house 1200 young men on august the 22nd. last year , 1295 young 1200 young men on august the 22nd. last year ,1295 young men 22nd. last year, 1295 young men came the country in a single day . and if you add to that scampton and the essex you were just talking about, well, the last half of august , over five last half of august, over five and a half thousand came. so you may have provided today enough accommodation for a full this summer. what then? and that hasn't been thought about as an even considered and any thought to of deportations. well even if this was to go to plan are many many months away. so believe you made this crisis only gets worse and hear the minister telling us that weddings have been cancelled. the communities are upset. yes we know minister , you upset. yes we know minister, you are the one that has done this. the parts of the country. yes indeed. and we are now witnessing the tragic situation

where. you've got quite often middle aged or elderly people who've lived in a village their entire lives quite possibly born there and even generations , there and even generations, people in the village. i suspect that if you saw the war memorial and a lot of these villages it would have the same names as the people who still there now just out there with well—meaning signs just saying, look, you know, please, not here please, not here. and of course, there are all labelled far right and extremist i mean, i'm sorry. can't we all be all right. can't we can't all be all right. nigel on. no, i mean, we saw happened to the gb news southwest . jeff moody who southwest. jeff moody who attended a protest that took place outside a hotel in newquay and along come 150 people wearing face and balaclavas and he felt physically threatened and intimidated. so you've got a real bullying nasty etihad left trying to denounce anybody who dares to express concern about
5:13 pm
their communities and in particular concerned about their daughters safely walking the streets you know, the real answer to this is there is no right place . there is no right right place. there is no right place for any of these people than perhaps an offshore or island. you know . than perhaps an offshore or island. you know. but but really, until get to where australia, where years ago until we're able to say that we've given half a million people refugee status 2015. we are far from being ungenerous but anyone that comes via the traffickers well will never become a until well will never become a until we do that the problem will go on. you know, just you know the if said nigel that the cruise ship side of it is way down the track and it obviously is way down the track, but short of actually building an island somewhere and sending them to the ascension of the falklands or somewhere like that, presuming you would be more in favour, use of favour, would you, of the use of cruise barges then you cruise ship or barges then you would military bases and would be off military bases and hotels. yeah but they'd still
5:14 pm
get dental care . they'd get free dental care. they'd still medical care , still get free medical care, they'd still get 38 quid a week spending money, three square meals day and, be allowed off meals a day and, be allowed off the ship to wander around plymouth or liverpool with goodness knows . what goodness knows. what consequences? i repeat point nowhere is the right location not true. thank you very much. and of course be on our later on when you do want to give us a list of you got coming up. yeah oh, i'm going to be talking this we'll go live to scampton but former raaf base the home of 617 the home of the dambusters raid. i was there doing a live show last monday and we'll go and get what i no doubt will be disappointment and great anger amongst that local community. there was very good business plan , perhaps up to £300 million plan, perhaps up to £300 million of investment going to go into scampton, plus a well—deserved heritage centre. that is all now completely and utterly shot through. i'm afraid a government that has totally failed to
5:15 pm
control our borders. yeah. look out for nigel. thank you very much. i look forward to watching that later on. nigel farage that actually touches on a great point ongoing knock on point is the ongoing knock on economic effects of this it's not just about the initial outlay of cash that we're spending on hotels and we're spending on hotels and we're spending on hotels and we're spending on our sites we're spending on our sites and we're spending on our sites and we're spending not we get a spending whether or not we get a cruise important down cruise ship as important down the is the knock on the line, it is the knock on effect of the of business, effect of the loss of business, etc. for these areas and various different on different places. now relying on having maybe just or two having maybe just one or two hotels in their area that brought in business, trade and accommodation and weddings and just general tory, zoom, etc. all if they go then area loses out doesn't it. and very out doesn't it. and it's very difficult to quantify that loss and frankly it will all get buned and frankly it will all get buried in madness that is buried in the madness that is still come. but today's still to come. but today's government announcement that migrants former migrants will be moved to former military lincolnshire, military bases and lincolnshire, essex and sussex in lincolnshire sites is the one that nigel was talking about. there raaf scott henson, of the henson, former head of the dunban henson, former head of the dunbar, look he's going to dunbar, says look he's going to be in about. be filling you all in about. we're go to another one we're going to go to another one now which raaf weather's in
5:16 pm
now which is raaf weather's in essex it's in the essex and it's in the constituency of braintree and look a lot this this is look at a lot of this this is how absolutely ludicrous the situation james situation has become. james cleverly the foreign is the local mp here supposedly supposedly he's dead against this and doesn't want it and he's saying that they're going to try to do everything they can to try to do everything they can to stop it. well so is he going to stop it. well so is he going to rail against the home secretary prime secretary then? the prime minister madness minister is absolute madness anyway. oh, home security editor might one to this field might one has been to this field now, is expected to house now, which is expected to house up to 2000 asylum seekers high above this essex air base. it easy to see why the home office would view this facility as an attractive option to host asylum seekers across the site are multiple disused buildings . a multiple disused buildings. a former residential blocks, which could easily be adapted to accommodate meagre rents . but accommodate meagre rents. but right to next wethersfield air base is the village. it took its name from a community. now in
5:17 pm
opposition to a large scale accommodation centre right on their . at the moment what we're their. at the moment what we're expecting is from the 1st of april the home office will take charge of the. tony clark holland , a leading voice in the holland, a leading voice in the campaign. the plans says communities 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, that concern because. suddenly, they're deemed to be racist . they're deemed to be racist. thatis they're deemed to be racist. that is not the case. it was any of young males anywhere, people could feel concerned. the strain that would put on the local communities and local services, there is no here. obviously if they needed anything, whether it's medical emergency, which is lowest anywhere . at the lowest anywhere. at the weekends, more than 250 people from here. and whether sheffield and surrounding community is gathered in the village hall to
5:18 pm
express those concerns . the express those concerns. the local council revealed it plans to seek a high court injunction to seek a high court injunction to halt any attempt to use the base asylum seekers perfect . base asylum seekers perfect. £8.63 place this tiny shop occasional postal is the only store wethersfield. the owner the lack of any engagement from the lack of any engagement from the home office is simply fuelling 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 small space. but then if they are allowed to roam free, then again, it's another concern. so we're not saying we want it's just the fact of want them. it's just the fact of it's right place to have it's not the right place to have them in very secluded village. this is a familiar pattern. locals battling home plans to host large scale asylum accommodation centres in their community. the vast majority of these campaigns have been
5:19 pm
success for. but for the government victory leaves them a diminishing number of suitable sites . the prime minister diminishing number of suitable sites. the prime minister has promised to end the controversial of 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 right next to these planned facilities . to these planned facilities. mark white gb news wethersfield in essex runs oak . well, we're in essex runs oak. well, we're going to go live now to our east midlands reporter, will hollis, who has been reporting all day from the former military base in scampton, the of the as scampton, the home of the as well, and yeah, look, this is a massive, massive controversy. that area, what's going on where you are .7 yes. well, this has you are? yes. well, this has been big news for a number of weeks. and now it's really come to a head for the community here in that have really in the majority of the sense of the
5:20 pm
community the majority them say that they don't want this to happen. i've had a lot of people saying we're all for asylum seekers , claiming asylum here in seekers, claiming asylum here in britain. we're for people fleeing war and finding home in a place that is often very welcoming as britain has been in its history. but they say that this place raf scampton with a hundred years of history 80 years anniversary the dambusters raid in 1943 that this may they say that this place is not right place to put 1500 migrants and of course robert jenrick in the house of commons today said that was going to be three sites. one in lincolnshire, one in yorkshire and one in east sussex, i believe , and a lot of sussex, i believe, and a lot of people around here are saying that that just doesn't seem to be something that makes sense and been speaking to people in one of the local pubs, the dambusters in aptly named, of course is a very good selling point and people been telling me the that they are feeling the things that they are feeling and now, is the
5:21 pm
and fearing right now, is the location there's absolutely nothing to it. don't 1500 people out in the country have a 20 minute walk along a very road , a minute walk along a very road, a no footpaths until anchor and there's not been anywhere within about three or four mile for them to do that. i'm just disgusted. absolutely disgusted. it does not make to anybody, everybody is going to lose out . everybody is going to lose out. even the asylum seekers. i do feel a tremendous sympathy for the i think that they it's a rough deal to be treated like animals and pushed into very cramped accommodation . cramped accommodation. understand some of it will be actually trailers put along the runway and to me that's totally inhuman . well the description inhuman. well the description from robert jenrick is the housing anybody on these army bases these are faces is only going to be temporary of course what they're trying escape from is the real that they've found themselves for in the 18 months
5:22 pm
or so where, thousands of migrants have been housed in hotels often places where communities have pushed back, sometimes successfully not so success fully the cost of those asylum seeker hotels is £62 million. and really what the government is trying do is to squash that some down a little bit and get a better control of it. lots of people here say that that's something that needs to happen. but happening happen. but whether happening bringing those asylum seekers to places this at don't know places like this at don't know disclosed time is the right thing that that's what they're really concerned about i think of course the heritage here is the real big thing that many people seem to be concerned about because until about especially because until quite scampton was quite recently raf scampton was going a free hundred going to get a free hundred million , £300 million deal to million, £300 million deal to renovate and secure the heritage of raf scampton. and a lot of people are really worried that won't happen and so that's a loss of funds and jobs for people that are living locally are very for being there for us. frankly, all and for people
5:23 pm
looking ahead to schedule as well nigel fryer is going to be doing big stuff from that particular site on tonight's show. and it comes because this is a massive people have been building this for long building up to this for a long and essentially the day and today is essentially the day because been announced that because it's been announced that surplus military out scampton because it's been announced that surpthatnilitary out scampton because it's been announced that surpthat one ary out scampton because it's been announced that surpthat one theret scampton because it's been announced that surpthat one theret sceat pton like that one there and at wethersfield is the one we're at before asylum before will accommodate asylum seekers who get this and i'm quoting enter the uk quoting now enter the uk illegally on small boats. i said some of those sites will have 2000 people plonked in them. the local population can be around 700 you've got more than 700 so you've got more than double local population double the local population of people regard as people who many would regard as migrants being dropped in. and the jury is still out as to whether or not, these people are going to be given free rein in the towns or in the villages as well. moving on, though, i 82 year grandmother been year old grandmother has been murdered in her home. murdered in her own home. and there that basically there are talk that basically might have been robbed for her pension, case that makes your pension, a case that makes your blood boil. i'm patrick christys and this

5:34 pm
christys. okay, so it's day three of that high profile court case between prince harry and the publisher of , the daily prince harry and the publisher of, the daily mail. the preliminary elements of it, and the duke of sussex, sir elton john and others are accusing associated of breaching their privacy through phone tapping. who better talk about all of this than on national reporter costello, us now from costello, who joins us now from the steps of the high court. l.a. what's latest .7 well, l.a. what's the latest? well, good to you, patrick, and that was no prince harry on three of these preliminary hearings, this privacy case against, associated newspapers, is the first day in these parliamentary hearings where prince harry has not been sat in the courtroom. but many of the other high profile claimants were in the room, including the husband of elton john, david furnish , baroness john, david furnish, baroness lawrence, who the mother of the murdered teenager stephen lawrence, and the actress frost. they were all there intently, despite the fact that prince
5:35 pm
harry was not. today, patrick, the focus has been on the barrister for associated and he has spent the afternoon trying to get a key piece of evidence that thinks will be used by the claimants to be entirely dismissed . and that is evidence dismissed. and that is evidence from a blower, alleged evidence from a blower, alleged evidence from whistle blower, a private investigator called gavin burrows . now, he made burrows. now, he made a statement in august 2021, which newspapers believe the claimant such as prince harry and sir elton john will be relying on. and i'll a little bit of that statement with you. so can understand why they might using it as evidence . i must admit it as evidence. i must admit this is a direct written statement from gavin , who says, statement from gavin, who says, i must have done hundreds of jobs between the year 2000 and 2005 for an unnamed journalist when he was at the on sunday. hugh grant . when he was at the on sunday. hugh grant. prince harry. elizabeth hurley , sir elton john elizabeth hurley, sir elton john and sadie frost. elizabeth hurley, sir elton john and sadie frost . we're just and sadie frost. we're just a
5:36 pm
small number of my targets. i did grant's voicemails. i landline taps. i put a tracker on his car. liz hurley , he on his car. liz hurley, he writes he did lots of financial checks, travel blagging and accessed her medical records when she was having a baby . and when she was having a baby. and in terms of prince harry, he wrote that he remembers voicemail hacking his friend and doing loads on chelsea davey when prince harry was going out with her. he goes on, write that pretty much wasn't a week that went by during that time when i didn't have a hard wire tap on somebody . well patrick is very somebody. well patrick is very important say at this that associated newspapers venomously deny any of the allegations that are in this statement and any of the allegations that have been put in front of the courtroom this week. so the barrister folks is very much on this august 2021 statement and he says it's been directly contradicted by a second statement, by gavin burrows, which was signed just this month, march 20, 23. and in that
5:37 pm
second statement, he mr. burrows denies he was commissioned carry out any unlawful activity. so the barrister that august 2021 statement where he allegedly admits to this unlawful information that needs to be thrown out , it needs to be thrown out, it needs to be dismissed. but the judge said something very interesting at that, patrick, and that was well , that is a trial point. if even , that is a trial point. if ever. there was one, and that is this preliminary hearing is all about it's basically to establish if is enough evidence to take this to a full trial or if there enough evidence or the evidence is too weak where it simply should be dismissed . that simply should be dismissed. that is is being argued about in is what is being argued about in the court this week and ultimately that is what the judge to decide when the judge has got to decide when the heanng judge has got to decide when the hearing ends tomorrow. absolutely. thank very much absolutely. thank you very much as alec costello from the as ever. alec costello from the court. the latest on that preliminary right preliminary hearing there. right now, debate the now, we're going to debate the latest tactic to widen the migrant. i mean, tactics migrant. i mean, it's tactics really isn't because we've heard
5:38 pm
today that there could be cruise ships just gotten ships. we just haven't gotten there there might there yet. there might be barges, but we haven't gotten there but there will there yet. but there will definitely be various different military are military use bases that are going be used, including one specifically who have specifically for people who have crossed channel illegally. crossed the channel illegally. some say illegal some would therefore say illegal immigrants, they? but immigrants, wouldn't they? but is okay is it morally is it morally okay is it morally all right to put people in essentially scale prisons .7 essentially scale prisons? right. or offshore .7 it's not right. or offshore? it's not morally. all right . right. or offshore? it's not morally. all right. i'm right. or offshore? it's not morally. all right . i'm patrick morally. all right. i'm patrick christys and this is
5:41 pm
gb news. yes now on our top story and is that the government is going to use basically military essentially for asylum seekers , essentially for asylum seekers, make sure that they have the most basic gradation possible to try to deter people from coming in. so that now another element to this supposedly terrorism, which is that we're just going to make their stay here as
5:42 pm
uncomfortable as possible. immigration robert jenrick unveiled to place unveiled proposals to place migrants former migrants as a number of former sites, including essex and lincolnshire. those ones will be for people who came illegally illegal immigrants, some would say, to accommodate their needs and nothing more. but is this morally okay? and also, let's throw into the mix. well, the cruise ships that have been mentioned, cruise ships and apparently barges could be used as well to shed more light on this. i'm joined now by conservative mp for stoke on trent north, jonathan gullet. i'm also joined by human rights lawyer khan. thank you lawyer shoaib khan. thank you very of you. look, very much, both of you. look, show start with then. show about. start with you then. so think it's morally for so do you think it's morally for us to putting people in us to be putting people in disused bases and making disused raf bases and making their uncomfortable their stays uncomfortable as possible? i don't possible? essentially i don't think it is. i think it's inhumane . i think it is. i think it's inhumane. i think it's important that we when considering things. i mean, we've seen what happened . matt stone. we've seen what happened when the tories have tried before . it all tried this before. and it all ends bizarre situation money ends in bizarre situation money and just increased this and it just increased this unnecessarily human suffering . i
5:43 pm
unnecessarily human suffering. i mean, so many of these people are obviously escaping war. they victims of trafficking victims , victims of trafficking victims, torture victims of modern slavery. we don't need to be retraumatizing . what we need is retraumatizing. what we need is to be integrating into society, welcoming them, looking after them, keeping them safe . i think them, keeping them safe. i think it's completely unacceptable . it's completely unacceptable. jonathan gillis, i will throw seven to you . what would be seven to you. what would be humane would be allowing people to continue crossing over the engush to continue crossing over the english channel from saved may not france, where they're not facing persecution , not facing facing persecution, not facing war and not facing terror? it's perfectly safe to claim asylum that as well as all the safe mainland european they've already through. of already come through. and of course, it's entirely appropriate accommodation for people to used in the day people to be used in the day with storming a roof over people, shelter, people, providing shelter, providing sanitary, providing food at the cost to the british taxpayer. that is the honest . taxpayer. that is the honest. these people should be here because they have no to come across the english channel when they're already inside. may not. also in stoke on trent , people also in stoke on trent, people are not enough. they won't see the of the use of hotels.
5:44 pm
the end of the use of hotels. they the boats by they won't see the boats by boats no longer coming and boats no longer coming over. and if use these issues, if we have to use these issues, army barracks and is an interest before we get people to, then so before we get people to, then so be if this accommodation be it. so if this accommodation was people who was good enough for people who were in our armed forces or if whatever we do decide to purchase ship, people purchase a cruise ship, people who actually be who were actually paying to be on on holiday, then is on there on holiday, then why is it good enough? could it it not good enough? or could it even, your words, traumatise even, in your words, traumatise people supposedly people who have supposedly fled war? for a number war? i mean, for a number reasons. firstly, i mean, reasons. and firstly, i mean, one would hope that, you know, when by our armed forces, when it was by our armed forces, the facilities have better. the facilities have been better. the have better the conditions would have better likely monster and i mean, likely so in monster and i mean, it's not a new idea. we had it, you know, just earlier this year and last year, we the and late last year, we saw the terrible, appalling conditions there. and hopefully not the conditions our armed forces conditions that our armed forces were living in when were actually living in when they there. but secondly, they were there. but secondly, on just raised by on a point just raised by jonathan, so i just want to say mean, of course, it's inhumane that people forced to flee from france make their way here. france and make their way here. but need safe but that's why we need safe legal routes . we need legal routes. we need humanitarian assistance, not just to stop you that these are
5:45 pm

5:46 pm
to flee france. they are choosing to put thousands of poundsin choosing to put thousands of pounds in the hands of gangs. these predominantly single these are predominantly single men, over 70. let's be those men, over 70. and let's be those who are coming from albania and, nato, remember, are doing so because they don't want to pay. two equate to on two thirds equate to come on a flight to the uk because they want to border force want to dodge border force because don't to up because they don't to end up in criminality. there's criminality. and we know there's a large scale albanian criminal drug cracking across country are being vietnamese being pushed out. the vietnamese drug like stoke drug gangs in places like stoke on i've been talking on trent. i've been talking to my police and as my local police about. and as you it entirely appropriate you say it entirely appropriate that areas to do that. but that other areas to do that. but it is unprecedented. what seeing at this moment in time in stoke on. we've got just below 3000 asylum seekers an economic migrant 31% of those are in hotels . it is migrant 31% of those are in hotels. it is a migrant 31% of those are in hotels . it is a hotel, for hotels. it is a hotel, for example, at the north stafford hotel, directly opposite the railway, a gateway . our city, railway, a gateway. our city, six many visitors north. by 11 projects wrought by £40 million, transforming cities from projects being undermined as as having people lose their jobs . having people lose theirjobs. when these council people we to go swimming at the best western
5:47 pm
in stoke not able to do so or use the gym facilities there because these hotels been used inappropriately and it is simply not right that we carry on burdening the load in one place. every part of the country has to do its part. but the portuguese is it must be temporary. we must get to safer countries by them. show up in your capacity . a show up in your capacity. a human rights lawyer. if i was a 16 year old vulnerable bull girl and i came to you and said can i get some legal advice . the fact get some legal advice. the fact that the government wants to plonk 2000 single men with who've entered the country illegally right next door to my house and i feel threatened by that. what i have any kind of human rights case to answer that you think should. and i think it . but i mean, i'm not suggesting that's a good thing. the point is, why are these people not being integrated into society? why are we talking about it? of i don't want sites anywhere. so
5:48 pm
i don't want sites anywhere. so i want to ask about that. do you think that there could be on the flip side , this a credible human flip side, this a credible human rights to be had by people who are going to be living some of these sites .7 i don't think so, these sites? i don't think so, because , you know, one other because, you know, one other human rights case when brought in thousands and tens of thousands of ukrainians, when the afghans and so many other people came there are no human rights. you know, the human rights. you know, the human rights of the british be but but breached then should breach breached then they should breach because albanians because we have the albanians and all and others coming out. all jonathan, i'll give you the final to you on this. do final word to you on this. do you that cruise ships will you think that cruise ships will be than our bases? well be better than our bases? well i think our bases tend to be on thatissue think our bases tend to be on that issue with using barges, although you to cabins or although you point to cabins or tents being used that person, tents being used by that person, because ultimately what i want to is getting people to say is us getting people deported to rwanda, to their original country of because they have no need to be here, they've entered country illegally. entered the country illegally. the integrating the reason we're not integrating them if we do that, we will them is if we do that, we will continue to have a pull factor to the united kingdom and asylum shopping genuine if
5:49 pm
shopping is a genuine asylum. if you a genuine asylum seeker, you will seek in the aid will seek in the first aid country that you come to. that's something baroness scotland, the former labour used say and former labour used to say and i fully cover. all right, fully could cover. all right, both you, thank very. both of you, thank you very. that great debate. that's that was great debate. that's isaac city for on trent isaac city mp for stoke on trent north, gullies also north, jonathan gullies and also as rights, shoaib as well, human rights, shoaib khan. very much to sidestep particular charge that right now i don't alarm you so i don't want to alarm you so everybody needs to calm everybody needs to just calm down scientists from durham down but scientists from durham university have discovered an enormous hole might end enormous black hole might end the around that bit the universe around that bit anyway. it's around 33 billion times the mass of the sun . but times the mass of the sun. but given the fact that i don't think any of us know what the mass of is, that is some mass of the sun is, that is some useless information you. useless information for you. scientists one of biggest scientists is one of the biggest black found. the news black holes ever found. the news comes after. a hole in comes shortly after. a hole in the sun was discovered that is 20 times the size of the earth and going to be worrying and so is going to be worrying ourselves. expected to ourselves. that's expected to unleash 1.8 million mile per hour towards us on friday. hour solar towards us on friday. so are we all going to die .7 so are we all going to die? that's what's going to happen now. dr. david whitehouse, he's an astronomer author. is
5:50 pm
an astronomer and author. is everything all right .7 everything everything all right? everything is fine . these are dramatic is fine. these are dramatic events that happen fairly regularly. we were we've through them before. we will lift live through the weekend. the ultra massive black hole is a tremendous object, but it's on the other side of the universe andifs the other side of the universe and it's going to tell us a lot about how work and how galaxies were formed and indeed black holes themselves are amazing objects because they are made of folded space and they tell us about the secrets of space and time. so this is an amazing that's of use to anybody except . it's finding out about how the universe works. and . that's universe works. and. that's okay. so it's on the other side of the universe, which is i mean, i can think of a few people i'd like to talk to other side of the universe, to be honest with you. so there's that sort of thing. right. but sort of thing. all right. but the actual hole, the sun there has emerged, which is a different but equally
5:51 pm
different story but equally concerning. i'm things about solar winds. i it sounds terrifying. should only be by that you shouldn't be you should be fascinated by the sun an amazing object. it's a million miles across. it's a hot bowl of gas. its surface is 6000 degrees hot . it's got an even hotter hot. it's got an even hotter atmosphere above . it and every atmosphere above. it and every it goes through a cycle of 11 years and it's in an active phase the moment and there's lots of explosions ions and activity on the surface and all the time as well as light it's throwing out particles and occasionally you see one of these small, small of a sudden scale, large on the size of the earth, holds a corona hold that coal, which actually allows more of these particles to shoot into space rather like a hosepipe throwing water across the garden. and if we line up with those particles , they strike the those particles, they strike the poles and cause beautiful northern lights, which we've seen a lot in the past weeks as the sun is going through this
5:52 pm
active. i actually want to see the northern lights once in norway and it remains to this day the most magical thing i've ever quickly, ever seen. now, very quickly, there's a very quickly i've got to you. what what what do to ask you. what what what do you think is if you go through a black hole, what do you reckon happens? nobody happens? silly question. nobody nobody knows. some people are speculated that they are portals to another universe . that you go to another universe. that you go through a black hole and you pop up somewhere else. that's there is not quite so fabled at the moment. some believe that the black of the hole in the middle of a black hole. there is a singular where space and time are taken out existence crushed out of existence . but the thing out of existence. but the thing is about a black hole is that they are creatures of space and therefore they tell us about the fundamental laws of and time. and in the air is how the universe began, how the universe will end. and one day all stars around us, all the planets around us, all the planets around , us, all the stars you around, us, all the stars you see in picture that will be gone
5:53 pm
