lee anderson yes, i'm looking forward joining us. i've forward to and joining us. i've got he's one my got to say he's one of my favourites. look, lee is brilliant, is the tory brilliant, but he is the tory party's equivalent of john preston, isn't he. i mean he has that about him if he and that air about him if he and rishi were the same schools he put the toilet put rishi's head down the toilet and it a few. do you think and give it a few. do you think if met him? no, i haven't if you met him? no, i haven't met him, but he has got vibe. he's a big lad. so lad that. met him, but he has got vibe. he's a big lad. so lad that . so. he's a big lad. so lad that. so. yeah, so . so it was very yeah, so. so it was very interesting actually about these . he was formerly of the labour party. we know that labour's formerly labour party formerly in the labour party because got investigated for because he got investigated for antisemitism. he did . antisemitism. indeed he did. there we go. so if he's not going to insult before, he's going to insult before, he's going to insult me now. yeah, but what do you make of this summary thing? because i'm an undergraduate. it's starting now, we now, but the second job so we don't think ali out all allowed them. course they be doing them. of course they be doing that. actually think the that. no, i actually think the we actually pay we should actually pay politicians than politicians far more than we actually. we always actually. yes. because we always complain about the calibre of politicians. always say our politicians. we always say our politicians. we always say our politicians good enough . politicians aren't good enough. we the right calibre we don't have the right calibre of politicians the politicians were well we live

were better before. well we live in a capitalist society . if you in a capitalist society. if you want something, you to pay want something, you need to pay for it. what would that count below? 86 grand. most below? 86 grand. for most people, lot of people, it's quite a lot of money they get other money and they get other benefits as well. so it's not just the 86 grand. and let's be honest keep pay honest they keep getting pay rises every year which you rises every year which is, you know, lot people don't get know, a lot of people don't get no, got plenty i'll i no, they got plenty i'll i disagree what we disagree you because what we need country is the need running this country is the very highest calibre of individuals these types of people if they into industry they would earn lot more. it is a ridiculous situation where she was ceos of big companies and triple quadruple and quintuple what the prime minister earns in this country. yeah. so what i mean, like it's like a vocational, right? yeah. if that's the case, then we should be paying nurses a lot more. you're mean. they should be like getting 8 to 6 grand. like politicians. i'm sure the nurses wouldn't say, oh, that's not very think very much 86 grand. i think people deluded. £86,000 is a people are deluded. £86,000 is a lot of money i'm old enough. what do they need more? in what do they need more? it's in most top emotions. it is

most of the top emotions. it is a wage, but being a politician particularly at the upper echelons is not most . we want echelons is not most. we want the very calibre of politicians and you simply not going to get that by paying 86 grand a year. and i accept the vast majority of people, me included that is a lot of money. wakeley but when it comes to that type of job, you need the very best and we don't have the money. don't need the money. listen, i think look, i think as you're saying that rishi sunak is with his wife is probably the billionaire, probably the a billionaire, right? doing it for right? they're not doing it for the that's the kind the money. and that's the kind of politician even you know, i have to admit, i'm slightly impressed she's impressed her. she's doing a relatively yes. he's relatively job. yes. but he's doing the money and he's doing it for the money and he's doing it for the money and he's doing and i think we doing a good job. and i think we need to learn a lesson from that. but what about humza yousaf politician. hums . i yousaf politician. oh, hums. i love hums. he's so bad. he's good. yeah as a comedian, he's brilliant because comes out and he says he things, you know, let's put my rapists in women's prisons . you go you can't with prisons. you go you can't with this stuff . this is absolutely

this stuff. this is absolutely brilliant. we get all in the who basically identifies it as a woman because he found he found the wig in escape and some out leggings and now said right i'm a two time rapist but i don't really fancy going to a male joe. let's put me in a show and humza says, yes. and of course humza says, yes. and of course humza should say yes , because no humza should say yes, because no one knows what a woman is, and i don't know what you. i'm a woman. really? yes but what is a woman? woman doesn't have a penis. is incredible penis. well, that is incredible transphobic. demand transphobic. and i demand everyone on twitter is everyone on twitter who is launching it can seller immediately. get rid of a no one gets on my show. gets cancelled on my show. really no one gets cancelled. afternoon, i get , i seriously i afternoon, i get, i seriously i don't somewhere politicians are struggling very simple struggling with this very simple nofion struggling with this very simple notion of what a woman is and tripping themselves get tripping over themselves to get it well, no is it wrong. well, no one is struggling. definition of struggling. the definition of a woman. no one needs a tool because everybody knows right from they born what from when they were born what boy and what a girl is. it's boy is and what a girl is. it's bafic boy is and what a girl is. it's basic biology. no is basic biology. no one is struggling with nana what struggling with it. nana what people struggling is , people are struggling with is, they terrified of alienating

they are terrified of alienating a particularly vocal minority of are, shall we say , base or more are, shall we say, base or more accurately , those people on accurately, those people on social media and terrified that they're going to get cancelled , they're going to get cancelled, they're going to get cancelled, they're going to get cancelled, they're going to get smeared as transphobic and their careers are going to be put at an end. but at some point people need to stand up and go look, this is nonsense. we can't carrying on like and we've got to be like this and we've got to be honest about biology, not my. she said she's terrified of all that. she said that somebody said that there's now 100 and something genders as patterns of gender concerns. i mean, come gender coi'icei'i'is. i mean, come on. gender concerns. i mean, come on. because you're going to on. because if you're going to do then every individual do that, then every individual could their gender up. could make their own gender up. if fit into the gender if you don't fit into the gender one. at birth they one. that's why at birth they say yes. male female. so say gender, yes. male female. so that in my view, there are two people fit on that people and where you fit on that is somewhere in between. still a combination of the two. well the reality is there's there's reality is there's and there's women feel and how women now how you feel and how you think of yourself something else entirely you want to define that as gender. i mean i wouldn't that wouldn't the wouldn't that wouldn't be the definition have put no

definition i have put on make no but they have disassociated sex with course. but the with gender of course. but the reality is it's just male. and then female. if you then there's female. now, if you think you want to be non—binary, then that is your right. but the reality non—binary doesn't exist . you're male, you . it sounds .you're male, you. it sounds controversial to say and even it's no controversy no going to it's no controversy no going to it doesn't exist and. people go, well, i don't want to be put into a category because i'm non—binary. well, you've just created a category for yourself, one that doesn't exist. yes exactly. that trump is not going to get handcuffed . at least to get handcuffed. at least i think trump started enjoying it. i think trump, of course , this i think trump, of course, this is thing to donald is the best thing to donald trump in years because he can go his base and go look , they don't his base and go look, they don't want me to be president and he will use whatever he says. it's a state or whatever, you know , a state or whatever, you know, whatever thing that he wants to say . and he will go, this is a say. and he will go, this is a reason why they're trying to get rid and are they are they rid of me and are they are they are trying to get rid of me. yeah, of course is. you have yeah, of course he is. you have got respect a man who has got to respect a man who has alleged intercourse with a star

government measures, including some even more in offshore wind. so what do you think, do you think net zero is about climate or do you believe it is money? right. so joining me now is lois perry. she's director of cop26 and. also jim dale, senior meteorologist at, the british weather services now. hey, jim , weather services now. hey, jim, you would have been in the studio , however, to reduce your studio, however, to reduce your confidence since you took the train and the train cancelled. what happened to. yeah, i should . i got that . i'm not going to . i got that. i'm not going to say there was snow on the line it wasn't that it's all what happened. i got there. i looked up 1423 to london cancelled race across the other side was just about to leave the early train missed it by about 30 seconds. that's the way it goes. no no, you see, that is the way it goes, unfortunately, you haven't got your own car. yeah, yeah. and that's the future he wants for all of us. none of the above, i suppose. least we've got down the line, which handy do to? me how i'm

do you have to? tell me how i'm supposed to be the for the fourth week in a row. so this must important. you must be important. nana you know, fact we're actually know, the fact we're actually talking this. yes, again, talking about this. yes, again, and it.so talking about this. yes, again, and it. so the and all the rest of it. so the wheels keep turning for very wheels keep turning and for very good reason . but they to be good reason. but they seem to be turning the wrong direction turning in the wrong direction because going backwards. lois, what think? yeah, well, what do you think? yeah, well, my that it is my opinion is that it is completely money completely the money like everything follow the money. and you could that because of you could say that because of the policies that are being implemented green implemented in the name of green aren't that at all. whether it's the renewables where everything thatis the renewables where everything that is made in china, like the solar and the wind turbines using , electricity made from using, electricity made from coal fired power or, you know the green that supposedly green cars which actually produce more c02, cars which actually produce more co2, if you believe in that of thing, to actually make an art better in any way for the environment because the batteries in mining but let's look at the millionaires the billionaires that have been made through the climate scam you go al gore who is now worth personally $330 million since he

was beaten by george w bush. you've got into the electricity whose . since 2000 to £50 million whose. since 2000 to £50 million in subsidy. does he donate to the quarter of a million to the labour party when ed miliband was energy secretary who they used public money to give back to him properly was that money that donated. he's worth 250 that was donated. he's worth 250 million. you've got schemes like the north sea project is supposed to offset carbon by burying it . supposed to offset carbon by burying it. the north sea, which we're paying £280 per tonne to bury, that's money public taxpayers money. you can offset it with companies indonesia for $10 a tonne. so if this isn't a money making scam i really don't know what is but isn't offsetting you're still producing the same amount of carbon. absolutely. so it's just cash. well, jim, what cash. yeah. well, jim, what would say that? i saw would you say to all that? i saw you your head a bit. you shaking your head a bit. bits of what? lois a lot. and i mean a lot of that is straws in the wind. we've kind of been there before. you and there before. you can pick and choose bits and pieces.

choose little bits and pieces. look actually, there's no conflict green conflict between the green revolution aiming for net zero and the economic side of things . just a few figures for you . . just a few figures for you. the net zero economy in britain, according to the british industry report , january 2023. industry report, january 2023. so, so very recently . generated so, so very recently. generated £71 billion in the uk and going in one direction, one direction only the net zero economy was 1.7 times more productive than the national average for uk economy , according to the gva economy, according to the gva per employee 2022. and i could go on on electric car sales increase by 40% in 2022. now you saying you're picking on a few people making some money in some places i think that's always been the case. i think we just have to look look at the fuel at the fossil fuel industry, the shelves in the asos , who are shelves in the asos, who are walking away with massive, massive profits . and are they massive profits. and are they giving back whatsoever? so giving them back whatsoever? so look, light revolut look, the green light revolut issue will not

issue will continue, will not step that you talked about in germany. i mentioned last . step that you talked about in germany. i mentioned last. i said this isn't a straight line. it will always be one step forward, two steps, two steps forward, two steps, two steps forward, one step back. this may a small step backwards , but the a small step backwards, but the revolution continues , when you revolution continues, when you say it's not a straight line, it seems like a pretty crooked one. i love. yeah. i mean, the reason why germany has done this is because it's not commercially viable in a free market things that are supposed to happen that actually make money if the government to get involved at any point in terms of subsidies or , making it more expensive to or, making it more expensive to have fossil fuels to make renewables that or just in any way basically you know making it get involved with the market and into fearing with the market then it you that it's not viable there would be no such thing as renewable if there were if there wasn't subsidies there would be no such a thing as green economy without , public money. but you without, public money. but you would think that actually they

put something in it if they wanted develop it irrespective of profit . of whether it make profit. jamie, got about 30 jamie, you've got about 30 seconds. to look at to seconds. you need to look at to find decision the way find that decision the way because decision isn't just because the decision isn't just to as you are and to say carry on as you are and extend it a little bit further because the co2 neutral fuels only synthetic fuels is what the underlying school is there. in other words, that that's all you use. and i know that's not a perfect, but as i say, you sometimes got to swap these things around. look we're on a one way street here. i those who've been speaking out for what many, many weeks , 4.25. and what many, many weeks, 4.25. and of the political parties in country, the main political parties , i say 4.25, the point parties, i say 4.25, the point 25 being the tories because they are the getting their eye taken and wrap themselves around the green revolution in the right. i'm 62 of a british people according to yougov who expressed an opinion 1 to 0 referendum. and the reason i

want that jim is because you're right all of the parties have brown this ridiculous green agenda because it is a global agenda because it is a global agenda and it is today industrialised the west. and you need to realise , okay, well need to realise, okay, well listen to give you some figures from yougov, please i'm going to give you two because got think 2, 76% believe that climate change a role in extreme weather. that's what actually talking about here this evening here was yesterday you know yesterday we might we believe, might not necessarily be the right thing. some people make stuff up, but it exist. i believe that. anyway, jim dale, thank you very much. really good to talk to you as a meteorologist at the british weather also weather services and also lois parry, of 26. thank you parry, director of 26. thank you so the next time it starts so much. the next time it starts approaching 32 minutes after 3:00. this is it is on tv. 3:00. this is tv. it is on tv. online on digital radio. i'm a quick now on the way. i'm going to ask you just how dangerous is our technology tech billionaire elon musk, alongside other experts, seem to think that it is and they for the pause is and they call for the pause in training of these systems. so just dangerous is it expert

just how dangerous is it expert will guyot will be joining . but will guyot will be joining. but first let's get your latest news headunes first let's get your latest news headlines headlines. hello there. it'sjust headlines headlines. hello there. it's just after half three. i'm aron armstrong in the. passengers arriving dover for the easter holidays have described being shell shocked by the delays . with some groups the delays. with some groups waiting over 14 hours several coach loads of adults and children have been there since last night. the port, which is declared a critical incident says deeply frustrated by the says is deeply frustrated by the delays, which it has down to lengthy french border processes and sheer volume. cars have also been caught up in the gridlock, but the delays them or less severe . millions the lowest paid severe. millions the lowest paid workers will get a salary today as the national wage is increased. the hourly rate will go increased. the hourly rate will 9° up increased. the hourly rate will go up from £9.50 to £10, $0.42. that's for adults . the that's for adults. the government says the rise keeps it on track to achieve its commitment . companies could face

commitment. companies could face unlimited fines. new commitment. companies could face unlimited fines . new government unlimited fines. new government plans to tackle pollution . the plans to tackle pollution. the environment secretary is expected to announce tougher enforcement next to ease coffey's plans . the ability to coffey's plans. the ability to place sanctions on water companies without going through the court , as well as lifting the court, as well as lifting cap on penalties, allowing unlimited fines. environment agency figures show there were just over 300,000 sewage spills last year . suffolk police have last year. suffolk police have been given until this evening to question teenagers in connection with the death of an elderly woman. officers were called to us in pakefield at 2 pm. last saturday after reports the 82 year old joy middle age had found a floor following found lying on a floor following a robbery. the two boy boys, aged 15 14, are both from aged 15 and 14, are both from the lowestoft area and they're being held after , being arrested being held after, being arrested on suspicion of murder. being held after, being arrested on suspicion of murder . a man on suspicion of murder. a man died after he was left injured in a charity boxing match in nottingham last. he was taking

part in the ultra white collar boxing event at harvey hadden sports . investigations into the sports. investigations into the incident are underway . tv online incident are underway. tv online dab+ radio and online in this gb news expect another . news expect another. good afternoon . if you're just good afternoon. if you're just joining me welcome on board are still lots more to come here on the gb views. former tory mp neil parish will be joining me live in the studio to talk about his life outside the commons. that track the incident that famous track the incident that everyone remembers . then at that everyone remembers. then at 345, i'll be getting all the latest from the protest at bexhill. but are coming out to condemn the government housing migrants in. back after this there's help for households. are you over state pension age? if your weekly income is below £182.60, or £278.70 if you live with a partner,

you could be eligible for pension credit, even if you own your home or have savings. it's worth, on average, £3,500 a year and you could get help with heating bills and more, plus up to £900 in cost of living payments.

welcome this is gb news. we are the people's. i'm nana akua. we're live on online and it's already before the break we're talking about the government's net targets. a quick look at what you've been saying, peter, says the conservatives not elected with a net zero manifesto, although, peter, i think it in that it think they did put it in that it should halted until such time should be halted until such time a political party gets elected with net zero. in their manifesto . bit tricky because manifesto. bit tricky because they both it in the jeff says i wonder how many scientists out there do not agree any of the net zero tripe but for the sake of their employment they keep caught. good question , dawn caught. good question, dawn says.in caught. good question, dawn says. in my opinion, they want to lead the pack in green innovate innovation and that their behaviour proves . they their own behaviour proves. they are in the planet are not interested in the planet in absolutely true. in any way. absolutely true. i can that i agree with you right . well, i'm delighted to say now that i'm going to be joined by a tech expert. journalists will guide discussing the idea of guide the discussing the idea of a i. because how dangerous is a lot of people this comes as the

education secretary leanne keegan this technology will play a big role in the future of the way schools operate. but she suggested that it will be able to mark homework and create lesson and things like that. but how is it will? why how dangerous is it will? why are so scared of this are people so scared of this thing? well, it's really hard to say dangerous it is at the say how dangerous it is at the moment, because the tech companies very companies are being very secretive , how quickly it's secretive, how quickly it's developing . the reality is, and developing. the reality is, and we this from i think it was we have this from i think it was price waterhouse coopers, the accountancy last week, they suggested that 300 million people will lose their jobs in the next 20 years as a result artificial intelligence technologies being used so we're in an interesting time where we've got to work out where. artificial intelligence goes currently it's being very much led by us as human beings or the people who developing it. but there is genuinely and i know this sounds a little bit like the film terminate to genuinely the film terminate to genuinely the risk that once this stuff starts thinking for itself. we're to be able we're not going to be able to put the into the box for

put the genie into the box for itself. like if i've got the plugs, which, and i've got a little robot that thinks it's going to tell me what to do, you know i'm going to do well, i'm going to unplug it. you know what yes, i understand. what i mean? yes, i understand. i understand what you're saying. i'm i'm not i'm not talking about i'm not talking the vacuum cleaner talking about the vacuum cleaner moving your house. i'm moving around in your house. i'm talking about sophisticated computer might be computer code that might be mirrored across servers around the world. to find out a way to give me access to somewhere else. like what look like. to give you example , that give you an example, that terminator robot is quite good actually, wasn't. mean actually, i wasn't. i mean obviously a one was good. obviously a good one was good. the was very bad but the backbone was very bad but there have been an off there must have been an off switch there was took switch and there was you took the and if you got to the thing out and if you got to the thing out and if you got to the in, what i'm the thing plug in, what i'm saying is, what is it that people should be afraid of? where they are. what does it do? give example. well also, give me one example. well also, artificial intelligence. intelligence being intelligence is code. it's being created kinds things intelligence is code. it's being cone�*d kinds things intelligence is code. it's being cone really kinds things intelligence is code. it's being cone really good|ds things intelligence is code. it's being cone really good example1gs intelligence is code. it's being cone really good example at the . one really good example at the moment, intelligence moment, artificial intelligence is better at detecting human is now better at detecting human organs for transplant. an who've been doing it for 20 or 30 years

because all the information from every decision made about and rating human organs for transfer have been loaded into this technology and learning from it basically learns. yeah now that's a good example. i wouldn't be worried about that. okay. so opposite side of it, a artificial intelligence decides . in ten years time that it's going to launch nuclear a nuclear weapon because . it knows nuclear weapon because. it knows better than the human beings who are launching it and they're in control are in control of those weapons at this point. the suggestion from, elon musk and everybody week is that the everybody this week is that the development artificial is development of artificial is going so quickly . this is the going so quickly. this is the idea that there should be this six month moratorium. just a pause and suggest there's no regulation. this is the big issue at the moment it's being used good used predominantly for good things at the moment. but we've said with the detection of said that with the detection of organs but it be used for organs but it could be used for equally things. it could be used in it could used to in wars, it could be used to create killing machines,

essentially there's all sorts of things that this technology can be useful. it's computer code , be useful. it's computer code, it can be programmed to do anything and at some stage in anything. and at some stage in the future, it will work things out itself. so that's what out for itself. so that's what everybody's particularly everybody's getting particularly worried it worried about. you mean that it could own write could make its own code, write its code to whatever it its own code to whatever it wants, surely . okay. so if wants, but surely. okay. so if this thing that i've got writing its code once again, i'm its own code once again, i'm going to unplug it like . it has going to unplug it like. it has to be plugged. you know, that has to it. where would has be power to it. where would it. create. yeah it. or could it create. yeah yeah, you are. you are right. yes of course it has to have power to it. but in a world where let's, for example, stuff doesn't code for a computer programme doesn't exist on just one computer anymore. so kicking the plug out of that computer would stop by iteration it would stop by iteration of it working, but is possible for code to live in multiple places. it can be saved. various backup points in the internet it can be available around world and available around the world and idea you're something that idea if you're something that becomes you're to becomes sentient you're going to want yourself like want to protect yourself like a human i know this human being. i know all this sounds for

sounds totally bonkers for a saturday afternoon, but if there's no human regulator and no government, maybe no regulation in the world, artificial intelligence, all it takes is for one person to push these massive advancements inside and technology forward. if somebody rogue and does something which does this in an unregulated way is going to be really hard to put that i say put that genie back into the lamp, could work out how to say harness the energy of the sun and make it so power itself. so it could learn to harness energy, say wind and all the other things. just through code. then we would actually lose control of it. is that the sort of because as i'm thinking about it, i'm thinking, okay, because the weakness argument is the weakness in the argument is that power, but if it that it needs power, but if it works out how to create power from its environment without us, then we are in trouble . is that then we are in trouble. is that then we are in trouble. is that the of you mean ? the sort of thing you mean? yeah, no, that's exactly yeah, well, no, that's exactly what i mean. i mean, this can spread this can spread around that. spread this can spread around that . i spread this can spread around that. i agree spread this can spread around that . i agree with you that. i agree with you completely. this is the this is but this is the interesting thing. the interesting thing

that we face at the moment is there are so potential applications from this. we're mostly fact mostly talking about the fact that students are using it that some students are using it to out little bit of to knock out a little bit of hooky the moment. hooky homework at the moment. but that's just very much the beginning artificial beginning of artificial intelligence and in five, ten years time, genuinely jobs will be lost as a result of this technology. the 300 million number, it should not a surprise. governments are not about this at the moment. it's a bit it's something that i don't think they understand the extent of the and i also don't think they understand quickly and how game changing going be game changing this is going be for is it's not just for the world is it's not just customer service jobs that are going with even the going to be lost with even the suggestion journalists us suggestion is journalists us could jobs people people could use ourjobs people people who work financial roles accountants even lawyers high paying accountants even lawyers high paying workers who say this cheaper without them. listen it's really good to talk to you. thank you very much. we'll really get to talk to you again. that's what got. he's a tech journalist. well well, now the government continue to push on with their plans to house migrants redundant faces

migrants that redundant faces lincolnshire and essex. protesters to demonstrate against the policy of housing migrants hotels across the migrants in hotels across the country with local residents and campaigners attending a protest now in bexhill, gb news national reporter theo chikomba joins me now. theo, you're there outside . protest. whereabouts are you? sorry to tell where you are. well, what's happening there , if well, what's happening there, if you i'm running for kind . you will? i'm running for kind. yep. so we are just outside proposed site, which just behind the camera, but just behind me on the left. a protest has been taking place the last hour or taking place in the last hour or so. hundreds of residents and people from bexhill have here protesting about the concerns they have and the impact this will have on the community. it's expected to take around six months. and who together for it to come together . and then those to come together. and then those who come into this country will going into this site. and i'm kind of joined by brian been here for the last hour or so . here for the last hour or so. and so brian, just tell me what some of the concerns that residents and local people have about these government plans. well, plans that well, the government plans that

they've obviously they've got basically obviously , as you say, by september, which is six months away, to move asylum move eight hundreds asylum seekers followed december of this year to have a total of 1200 here for the problem that the residents have got is there's sewerage problems here. there's families here working families and they are working families and they are working families and they are working families and they've got major serious concerns as there's single parents with children and. basically the underlying problem here, we're trying to stop this in its tracks are on trying to help them to stop it in its tracks purely for the sake of these prisons the same as all prisons had done they were built asbestos and there's prison staff over the years and inmates and prison officers wardens have gone down with mesothelioma a you know from the logging that's in this place and the point why i'm here today the

point of contact with me is that this prison is full of asbestos. the boiler in there is full of asbestos lagging all around the units , two units in there and units, two units in there and that will cause a health disaster that the people that going to be living in there and for the residents who live here, there's already a building over there, which i believe is the boiler room or the windows are smashed, the windows are wide open windows in open that have got windows in them there's broken asbestos open that have got windows in th

six months it will take you a year or two to clear the asbestos safely and a massive which i'm sure the government won't be worried too much about that. won't be worried too much about that . but at the won't be worried too much about that. but at the end of the won't be worried too much about that . but at the end of the day, that. but at the end of the day, you've got people here. any particles of here could cause lung term health issues because . as you probably know yourself, the asbestos is called the silent killer. my father was a doctor and a surgeon in london for many years as my grandfather was as well and what you've basically got to is take all of those situations into consideration and as i say, i don't believe for one moment that the asylum will want to be coming into a prison. and brian, thank so much for your passionate talk right there. okay. thank you to you. as you've heard from brian, a lot of people here have been sharing their concerns as well. potentially the next few potentially over the next few weeks, be more meetings weeks, there'll be more meetings within the local area and some of areas, three of those other areas, three locations across the locations in total across the uk. thank you very . so it's uk. thank you very. so it's really good to talk to you . really good to talk to you. imagine, what they're imagine, you know what they're going fix

going to do. they'll fix the asbestos. the people that asbestos. so for the people that are but they didn't are coming, but they didn't do it for us when we're if we wanted to use that, which is interesting it's our money. interesting and it's our money. right with because. right well stay with me because. it's time political it's time for political spotlight i like to spotlight each week, i like to put on a positive put a spotlight on a positive should. week, i'm should. and this week, i'm joined formerconservative should. and this week, i'm joined former conservative mp joined by former conservative mp for and, honiton for tiverton and, honiton neil parish. now neil became an mp following the general of 2010. in 2015, he became chair of the environment, food and rural affairs committee. for two years. but last his time as an mp came to an end after admitted he was caught. that he was caught by other members of parliament watching in the commons . and a few weeks ago the commons. and a few weeks ago the former mp said that he felt he had unfinished business was considered to stand as a tory candidate once again. i'm delighted . say, as you saw, he's delighted. say, as you saw, he's in the studio. i've to do it again after what happened , again after what happened, right. no, no, he has been. i mean, a terrible mistake and a terrible thing i did. but feel i still got this inside me where i

really want to try help society, help the environment, help agriculture, help food , do all agriculture, help food, do all these things that i was very good at and let's have a go back at parliament. but if i stood again, i'd need to stand as an independent. now, of course, worked with a select committee across . it'll be quite across. it'll be quite interesting how could pull everything together because i think want something think people may want something a different . a little bit different. politics, bad it was, politics, however bad it was, i feel i've made my mistake . i've feel i've made my mistake. i've paid the price. i've really got to get over it. all right. what was it you did? what were you doing? that's right. stupid, isn't but they see isn't it? but they could see your because i've been your shoulder because i've been in are really in there and chairs are really close . but just, close together. but you just, you it is. so you just you know how it is. so you just doing stuff and anything, all doing stuff and if anything, all of that all into just doing stuff and then suddenly stuff and then you suddenly think, are, which think, forget you are, which i had intentions of. naturally, had no intentions of. naturally, anybody but like anybody seeing it. but like i said, know, these things, it said, you know, these things, it was mistake. and like was a terrible mistake. and like i i feel that, you i said, now i feel that, you know, we're nearly a year on. i think you know i'm very sorry i did but i made the right decision and going but i still

think there's lot more in me think there's a lot more in me to do a lot to be fixed out there i mean little the problems of the water the moment and the river water and all of those things where, you know, we should have taken action. about 2017, were pressing michael 2017, we were pressing michael gove to take real then on the water companies. it's gone on another five or six years. all of these need sorting. well, you know though. okay, so what you did was wrong because of where you were ultimately, but you were very, very good mp and had done a good job and people you very popular as well. so i don't think people would look i need to carry on i think it's probably think actually listening to you is a good decision especially as you have knowledge the actual rural community acted community as well you acted within a lot of employees within it was a lot of employees aren't know they're just aren't you know they're just representing but they're not actually getting really involved in money shop what's going in the money shop what's going on there. but you mentioned water companies and even in street there's like there's water companies that think water companies there that think there's that that's what there's a leak that that's what do think should happening

do you think should be happening to companies and the to these water companies and the bosses there? well, you see, i mean, they they're paying their executives and their shareholders. too money. shareholders. too much money. they enough . it's they haven't made enough. it's mainly, you know. it's a they haven't made enough. it's mainly, you know . it's a water mainly, you know. it's a water processing plants, sewage plants, if you like , which are plants, if you like, which are not actually functioning . the not actually functioning. the huge of rain comes and they release it automatically into the rivers . this has been release it automatically into the rivers. this has been going on for too long, 300,000 times. i think over the last year. just crazy and also we've got thames water, 25% of the water that pumped through the pipes. if this is fresh water actually leaks. and so therefore you're using a lot more water out of your reservoirs , it out of your your reservoirs, it out of your rivers, your chalk streams. all of these things are very from an environmental point view. so that's what you've got to fix . that's what you've got to fix. well, you see, that's that's why i think you're right to go back in there because, you know, you talking and have an talking about and you have an understanding things work. understanding how things work. and like and actually somebody like you would to with as would be good to deal with as water because something has to happen. cannot like this

happen. it cannot like this because know, is because. you know, water is a story. it's not a scarce resource, but we're it resource, but we're making it that and i don't quite get that way. and i don't quite get where you see where where you are. you see where we're unnecessary we're drawing unnecessary amounts and. i think amounts of water and. i think this is something that the water have had time to fix. this is something that the water have had time to fix . and i have had time to fix. and i think really now these are limited finds are right. but of course again the environment agency are going to have to have enough staff enough to enough staff and enough able to actually have as many rules and in many laws as many fines as you like. but if you can't actually it and actually administer it and actually administer it and actually it stick , then it actually make it stick, then it doesn't work. and i think that's one of the problems with parliament. a lot of time parliament. spend a lot of time talking, laws, we don't talking, use laws, but we don't necessarily enforce and that's the so what have you the problem. so what have you been doing since you left ? well, been doing since you left? well, i've i bought i i've been farming. i bought i got 30 cattle and we've got some more arable and we're buying some more cattle as we speak . some more cattle as we speak. more so coming on gb news and talk tv also setting up a i've got a professional guy helping me with the music . we've got me with the music. we've got some birdsong to go in, try and

make it authentic , and then that make it authentic, and then that again will be about making sure we can produce food and have a good environment , we can produce food and have a good environment, make we can produce food and have a good environment , make sure that good environment, make sure that we produce as much food as we can in this country so we're not importing food . countries like importing food. countries like africa , beyond which can little africa, beyond which can little afford it and they can have little for the water they use to actually produce that. we've got actually produce that. we've got a temperate climate here. you can only see spain drying up at the moment. you know, it's quite close, quite close at home where need to do these things. and i also want to make sure they get to everybody in society because . the one thing i enjoyed working as a chair of a select committee, as you work across all the political parties, let's actually look at what's good in all parties because we spend our time knocking each other. don't but that's all it is. that's all it is. we don't. these sort of very come for the positive very often come for the positive idea how to fix things, and i think that's what i'd like to try do as an independent is a sort of bring all these things together. i what you think

together. if i what do you think now looking at the now as you're looking at the conservative party, what's your view? seems have calmed view? which seems to have calmed the a bit. people have the ship a bit. people have augned the ship a bit. people have aligned behind which is , aligned behind them, which is, you know, that's what we expect from a leader. what's your from a leader. what what's your take happening ? i take on what's happening? i think rishi sunak is the situation and. i now think that the members of parliament that there is in their own because if they don't actually as conservative members of parliament if they don't come together , they will be destroyed together, they will be destroyed . i mean, i remember living through 97 election and everybody between 92 and 97 had a different idea of how to run the country they were all very different to tony blair. and yet, you see, tony blair came along and the tide and. i meant so many conservative mps. so i think if they're very sensible, they'll come together behind rishi sunak it'll interesting to see now you know on in may now beginning of may we've got the local elections because . the local elections because. the trouble with politics is that it's all right until you know , it's all right until you know, naturally councillors, good councillors , their seats, then

councillors, their seats, then the pressure goes back and then they start dividing themselves . they start dividing themselves. i'm afraid it'll be fatal now. i think they're going to have a job, pull it back. but i think what ritchie will do, will start to put the pressure back on starmer to actually say where your policies and what is a woman . i your policies and what is a woman. i think that's i mean what do you will be the weakness for labour because for me i think that actually the fact that the honourable bill saw what happened to nicola sturgeon not they're messing not that they're messing with the i is one the gender thing i think is one of things where as a of those things where as a woman, i look at that and think i was even thinking about voting for cannot define for them, they cannot define what a is and they're going to affect spaces and my affect my personal spaces and my privacy, that privacy, my as a woman that i would look into that very seriously. i mean, got a seriously. i mean, i've got a daughter. we've got a granddaughter. i think, you know, essential that. know, this is essential that. it's rishi sunak is it's women as rishi sunak is quite said, a woman is, a biological woman. and think, biological woman. and i think, you we and keir you know, we i mean, and keir some see one and keir some you see one and keir starmer is probably is not only just over this issue you take all of takes a very all sorts of he takes a very long time come a decision

long time to come to a decision and i think that will be his weakness. if he makes it as prime minister. so let's put the pressure back on. keir starmer . pressure back on. keir starmer. let's actually see what he's made of . let let's actually see what he's made of. let him let's actually see what he's made of . let him actually make made of. let him actually make a decision and stand up to it. you know, we look at gary lineker , know, we look at gary lineker, it took him two days of work, which which side was on on which which side he was on on that and when can't do that one. and when you can't do that one. and when you can't do that prime. i'm sorry. you've that as prime. i'm sorry. you've got to make decision and you've got to make decision and you've got to make decision and you've got to stick to it you've got to stick to it and. you've got to stick to it and. you've got on with it. and got to get on with it. and i don't dislike keir starmer, but i think there will a problem i think there will be a problem with making decision. with him making decision. i really i think that really do and i think that really do and i think that really party but really pull the party but i think party itself needs to think the party itself needs to pull together otherwise they will you know, unite it. will destroy you know, unite it. we stand divided, we fall and i'm afraid that is maybe a cliche, but that is certainly what will happen to the party if they're not all careful. well, listen, no powers is always pleasure talking to you. i wish you all the best. i'm sure you'll be a great independent candidate and i suspect you probably win i will do probably will win your i will do my best. and it's lovely to come out see you again and let's

good afternoon. it's fast approaching 5 minutes after 4:00. this is gb views on tv onune 4:00. this is gb views on tv online on digital radio . the online on digital radio. the gift of the keeps giving homs a useless humza yousaf salafis, the newly elected thespians of scotland. it's pretty under whelming. i mean, it's only been a few weeks. we've managed to get these beauties . in one get these beauties. in one question. how did they win over me? do you regret not voting for amendments that would put rapists women's prisons? no don't. i mean, think what a year will bring if you last that long. in his victory speech to scotland's defence minister, he said, we all take pride in the fact that today we have sent a clear message your colour of skin or your face is not a barrier to leading the country we all call home. and that evening he led ramadan with his family on his first night at bute house, which is the historic home of the of power in edinburgh. and he posted on

twitter , my family and twitter, my family and i spending our first night in bute house after two days parliament with a special moment leading my family in prayer impute house. as is customary after breaking fast together. but as one tweet pointed out , fast together. but as one tweet pointed out, he fast together. but as one tweet pointed out , he won't let women pointed out, he won't let women or girls in the room as him when he's praying . but he expects the he's praying. but he expects the women and girls of scotland to welcome men into toilets and changing rooms without complaint. if humza has the right to pray , peace that women right to pray, peace that women and must have the right to and girls must have the right to pee in peace . and despite being pee in peace. and despite being a devout muslim, he feels committed to go ahead with the gender reforms. instead seeing the damage it caused. nicola sturgeon all of those determined to build move forward with the plan to keep the support of the greens , ignoring what it did to greens, ignoring what it did to his predecessor. and even though the scotland clearly the people scotland clearly don't support , why would they don't support, why would they humza also been invited to the king's coronation in which he confirmed he will attend a bit hypocritical, seeing as he's an

avowed republican who recently stated that scotland could ditch the monarchy if it leaves uk. he told the national . i've been told the national. i've been very clear , i'm a republican. very clear, i'm a republican. let's absolutely. within the first five years that is of independence consider whether or not we should move away from having a monarchy into an elected head of state. interesting. that is accepting king charles is invite i wonder if he'll also still speak at the pro—independence rally in glasgow which just happens to fall on the same day. i'm watching with bated and his performance in his first week of leader in the scottish parliament pretty poor. yes nicola is a tough act to follow given that but it seemed all his excuses for the ills of scotland were because the union which would all get better once they achieved independence . unlikely achieved independence. unlikely with him at the helm given his record . humza yousaf had record. humza yousaf had a number of jobs in government when you were a transport minister, the trains were never on time when you were justice minister. the were strained to breaking point. and now as

health minister we've got record high waiting times . what makes high waiting times. what makes you think you can do a better job as first minister? yes i wonder what he had to say about that. he about all the that. he talks about all the people powerful are all white people in powerful are all white in scotland or senior positions in scotland or senior positions in scotland or senior positions in scotland are felt exclusively by those who are white. take my portfolio alone . the lord portfolio alone. the lord president white. the lord justice clark white. every high court judge white, the lord advocate white. the solicitor general white. the chief constable white. every deputy chief constable white every assistant chief constable white. the head the law society white. the head the law society white. the head the law society white. the head of the faculty of advocates. every president governor white and not just justice. the chief medical officer white. the chief nursing officer white. the chief nursing officer white. the chief veterinary officer white. the chief social work advisor white. almost every trade union in this country headed by who are white

and the scottish government as the director general is white. every chair of every public body is white. pretty misleading and, hardly surprising when you factor in that scotland's population is 98% white. oh, i mean , labour party must be mean, labour party must be clapping their hands. glee. i feel sorry . scotland with arms feel sorry. scotland with arms are useless in charge he's the gift that just keeps on giving . gift that just keeps on giving. so before we get stuck into the debate, here's what else is coming up today for the great british debate. this hour, i'm asking do you have more confidence in the than the uk confidence in the eu than the uk parliament? a poll conducted by the policy institute revealed that great british public , that the great british public, the parliament more than the eu parliament more than westminster, had . this comes westminster, had. this comes after prime minister rishi sunak's uk's position . the bloc sunak's uk's position. the bloc having now joined trade club so do you have more confidence in than it for 50 years? roll round

up time and royal biographer andrew lieven be live in the studio to give me all latest from behind the palace walls. now on the menu. us president joe is set to declined an joe biden is set to declined an invitation. charles's invitation. king charles's combination , but he has combination in may, but he has claimed move shouldn't be claimed the move shouldn't be viewed snub. then at five, viewed as a snub. then at five, it's this week's difficult conversation. i'll be speaking to man . he regrets to a transgender man. he regrets his to change sex at his decision to change sex at the age of 14. now, scott nugent has suffered from numerous medical complications since his transition and now use this time to advocate against kids . transition and now use this time to advocate against kids. i tried to kill off my son because i'm sold life . i was told that i'm sold life. i was told that my masculine friends , my strong my masculine friends, my strong personality , that i was really personality, that i was really american . one body , what american. one body, what i should have been more and what we should do is that there no one way for a girl to be girl. well that's coming in the next

houn well that's coming in the next hour. tell me what you think of everything we discuss by emailing gbviews@gbnews.uk. you can tweet me . gb news. right? can tweet me. gb news. right? let's get started. let's welcome again my panel, broadcaster and columnist lizzie also broadcast on political commentator sam dowler . right. i'm going to dowler. right. i'm going to start with you , lizzie. lizzie, start with you, lizzie. lizzie, lizzie. lizzie homes are useless. yes, they are. yes, they are. just when we thought we got rid of jemmy crank, who we got rid of jemmy crank, who we little apprentice don't we use all? where do we start with this man ? he has no charm no this man? he has no charm no charisma. i really has no chance.i charisma. i really has no chance. i think this is the end of him. nothing is the end of the snp. i mean, let's look at a track record as health secretary . he came under fire as possibly being described as being the worst ever in that position as transport, he was found guilty of driving without into

warrants. the list goes on. now he's obviously got this continuing same obsession as sturgeon with independence . sturgeon with independence. instead of focusing on the scottish people. i mean , look at scottish people. i mean, look at what's going on at scotland, at the with their terrible drugs the with their terrible drugs the crime rate that , the police, the crime rate that, the police, the crime rate that, the police, the education nato it goes on and on and on. this man is just extremely cranky. is nicholas stage. it was a page. well, i watched him in scottish parliament actually i was watching late last night and i ended up watching this thing i was at the night before and actually the shape his actually even the shape of his hair was the same shape. i think even the way was moving. and even the way he was moving. and i of call. he's i thought of one call. he's a couple spartan, but this time he's a different person, i think a different of sturgeon a different version of sturgeon , you know ? do you know what , you know? do you know what i i'm conflicted because i mean, as you know, i support the gender recognition certificate , gender recognition certificate, but i don't think it was the right time and i think it played a part in the demise of nicola sturgeon so he could turn out to

be the gift that keeps on giving it for unionists like myself and for a monarchist like myself if you know if do turn against the snp in the next election and they turn against you know what what he stands for etc. and then and so they want to the part of part of the uk and they want to still have king charles as their monarch then i think, you know, he's the right for the job because i don't think, you know, even even when nicola said she wanted like that, wanted another vote like that, it's it's still not set in it's still it's still not set in stone that the scottish people want be independent. want want to be independent. i don't i don't don't think they do. i don't think is he is even further think he is he is even further away from convincing people. so i you know, so even though i mean, it's just so hypocritical , he's going to the king's mindset if when jeremy corbyn went and did royal things and he looked so completely awkward doing it . well, look, i'm sorry doing it. well, look, i'm sorry . the trans community need to be treated with care and understanding, but he is them as a political football to score

points . i'm a political football to score points. i'm sorry and i'm sorry you said then and you know he's praying in peace , you know, will praying in peace, you know, will pay praying in peace, you know, will pay and pays . praying in peace, you know, will pay and pays. i think we should bnng pay and pays. i think we should bring up his his religion because obviously the this separation of males and females now . i think separation of males and females now. i think we should separation of males and females now . i think we should because now. i think we should because as you know , kate, she admitted as you know, kate, she admitted that she's a devout christian i would say views with regard to same sex marriage and things like were made clear he like that were made clear he actually dodged the same sex vote. so he did something else, but have to. but but he wouldn't have to. but this is what is what this is what this is what he does private, though, when does in private, though, when he's he's worshipping he's when he's worshipping himself. don't himself. i mean, i don't think kate she said nobody kate so. views she said nobody ever got persecuted he ever got persecuted but he didn't i see. but didn't i said, oh, i see. but his his his views aren't he's not saying like everybody should worship separately, like and she began, she needs to her began, but she needs to her views are more to do with obviously, you know , things of obviously, you know, things of policy in the government . we policy in the government. we have the same view with regard to sex, same sex marriage . to same sex, same sex marriage. so really had nothing to so what's really had nothing to do it altogether. do with it altogether. that's been nice. but he dodged the been nice. but he he dodged the vote. obviously out and

vote. she obviously came out and said views. so this the said her views. so this is the thing than her in thing he is worse than her in terms of that because he dodged the vote so he didn't really have to admit it openly or go against which is possibly against it which is possibly seething right i mean seething hypocrisy. right i mean she was honest with it. you know, you disagree with or not. she was honest. i think it made a difference how getting voted in particular was a big deal. i think it but again i but he didn't know it obviously it was up because of you know, her views and she did and she wouldn't said she wouldn't wouldn't and said she wouldn't impress public. but impress them on the public. but then that wouldn't then he said that he wouldn't like views are with the like his his views are with the public. like his his views are with the pubuc.so like his his views are with the public. so at the end of the day, like he's just because just because he to worship with you know, genders know, splitting up the genders that mean that he would that doesn't mean that he would thinks anything like what kate what said this is useless he's so uninspiring . i just seen his so uninspiring. i just seen his speech , you know, going on. you speech, you know, going on. you that the 3 seconds were playing the clip. it's actually only in the clip. it's actually only in the speech mean it is in paris. i love it but i didn't

it's fast approaching 22 minutes after 4:00. this is gb news tv onune after 4:00. this is gb news tv online and digital radio. i'm nana akua before the break we were discussing the snp leader, humza yousaf . let's have a look humza yousaf. let's have a look at what you've been saying, norman says humza yousaf this is accurate. samuel says humza will not go to the coroner and think he will resign before then . he will resign before then. yeah, that'll be funny . and she yeah, that'll be funny. and she says holmes that talks with so much anger and hatred , is he fit much anger and hatred, is he fit to be a leader ? well, i don't to be a leader? well, i don't think he is actually , to be think he is actually, to be honest with you. yeah, it's not great. it's not great at all. but keep your thoughts. it's now time for the great british debate time. and asking to debate time. and i'm asking to have confidence the eu, have more confidence in the eu, in parliament. now in the uk parliament. now there's poll by the world there's a poll by the world values survey which revealed that voted leave values survey which revealed thateu, voted leave values survey which revealed thateu, the voted leave values survey which revealed thateu, the number>ted leave values survey which revealed thateu, the number ofd leave values survey which revealed thateu, the number of people who the eu, the number of people who trust in parliament has dropped to a low of just 22. and this comes as people's confidence in the european union has risen to 39. so is our government failing

to represent us? i mean, to be honest with you, there was bit were there a bit of a laughing stock? this comes as the business secretary kemi badenoch revealed that britain is to join the indo—pacific bloc in a move that described as a deal for that she described as a deal for future. let's take a look at what some of the facts with this deal what some of the facts with this deal. okay so there are 11 countries in the trade bloc, including australia, japan and put together these nations economies. they represent 13% of the world's total gross domestic product. and the deal britain access to countries with a combined population of more than 500 million. and the members of the bloc are required to drop more than 95% off their tariffs on trade. however director of global justice now nick did and argues this deal means britain has ditched environmental standards, undermined farmers and left us wide to corporate globalisation . so is the great globalisation. so is the great british debate. so i'm asking, do you have more confidence in

the than the uk parliament? well, joining me now is the member of reform and former mep lizzie a member of reform and former mep for london ben habib former mep for london ben habib former mp steven pound and former mp steven pound and former minister for europe and writer dennis macshane writes , writer dennis macshane writes, i'm going to start with you beunda i'm going to start with you belinda lucy. a lot of people , belinda lucy. a lot of people, this is a great trade deal. there's no freedom of movement is a oh, i know, this is how this is a moderate centre , this this is a moderate centre, this very normal way of doing trade deals. this is a trading bloc that doesn't require an army , a that doesn't require an army, a national anthem, a flag interference in all domestic affairs affairs or political courts . this is exactly what courts. this is exactly what country should be gearing towards than the extreme version the eu trading bloc, which is that entirely different power , that entirely different power, gobbling, anti—democratic beast. so i'm really excited it. of course there's , much more to course there's, much more to come. and as can be said, it a trade deal for the future. and i'm really pleased . finally the i'm really pleased. finally the conservatives are selling the

opportunities of because they've done a pretty bad job of it so far. the eu institute actions that are constantly being to us by remainers are so much more corrupt and flawed than our own uk parliament. it'sjust corrupt and flawed than our own uk parliament. it's just that we hear less about it with a microscope . well, let's get to microscope. well, let's get to this b.s. on this former minister for europe you'll know about that she said that just as corrupt anyway, or if not more so in the eu. and we just you what do you think . very simply. what do you think. very simply. i mean , pleased with this. all i mean, pleased with this. all it does is what we already had . it does is what we already had. britain had under the eu. the eu got trade deals with all of these countries, but to be fair, barbara, i think we go back to the past. we can do try to get doesn't allow single professional law or account architect to set up shop in any of those countries which we could do in europe before. doesn't increase i think the total percentage increases 0.8.

that's over the next two years. we've lost 4% of our gdp up and about a third of our small. we enterprise is shut out now because of the extra tory barriers put by boris johnson and truss. i'm glad. thank god. i think rishi sunak would like to dismantle. but we see this weekend 40 hour tuesday, dover because we insist the europeans have to checked and photographed turned upside down, shaken . turned upside down, shaken. they're allowed into lovely england . yeah, but tennis and england. yeah, but tennis and tennis is there freely. yeah. tennis is another country day. that's what you do when you come into other countries. let's get ben tibi. ben well, first of all, i want to endorse absolutely everything belinda said and in equal measure, denounce denis just said . denounce denis just said. beunda denounce denis just said. belinda is absolute right that the european parliament is actually fundamentally flawed going further. it's

fundamentally flawed. it's not a genuine legislature . it doesn't genuine legislature. it doesn't have the right, for example to initiate legislation after that, the eu passes . it doesn't even the eu passes. it doesn't even go anywhere near the union's parliament. it's on the cycle. special legislative process and just bypasses parliament completely. and then the legislative process that goes parliament is actually all sewn up in committees before it, before it reaches the. and at least with our parliament, it has the opportunity as we see every week to hold the government to account the government to account the government is answerable to parliament. the european commission , which is the commission, which is the equivalent of the eu's government, not answerable to its parliament. the whole thing is built into said is anti—democratic and we've seen huge corruption with bribery emerging just in the last few weeks . qataris bribing meps in weeks. qataris bribing meps in the european parliament favour with them. there are 3000 lobby groups in brussels constantly lobbying meps, wining , wining,

lobbying meps, wining, wining, dining them , order to curry dining them, order to curry favour to get their agenda promoted within their virtue signalling committees . so the signalling committees. so the european parliament is a is a shadow of our however you might our parliament fails at least we the opportunity to kick out once every five years. so i completely what denis says in that respect and the cptpp agreement that we just to is a fantastic deal. our trade with the eu has diminished to 60% of all of our exports and imports over the eu. about ten years ago. and it's to down 40% and dropping west . the countries dropping west. the countries that we've just signed this great trade deal with a growing same populations but, much more dynamic economies . absolutely dynamic economies. absolutely precisely. what should be doing as an independent country. precisely. what should be doing as an independent country . and as an independent country. and dennis is also when he says we

can't sell service into these countries. it absolutely includes all. let's get stephen goods and services impounded. stephen i have to i have to say initially that my heart leapt with joy, like a spring lamb . i with joy, like a spring lamb. i heard that there's this marvellous trade was being signed. then i read the small print. we are now able to deal with vietnam brunei or mexico . with vietnam brunei or mexico. what's wrong with these? are these really countries that ? we these really countries that? we do a vast also now seeking partners to stop. these countries in the world growing economies . they're different economies. they're different economies. they're different economies that we're opening up trade. why? why you dissing those countries? i'm not dissing that. but what i'm saying is our two biggest trading partners with the european in the united states were wyatt . we honestly, states were wyatt. we honestly, really realistically think that vietnam and peru and brunei can those partners and do think the australians are the reason if going to do us any favours and

it causes is going to cause us real problems trading with the eu in the future as let's rubbish rubbish and dissing them. that's it right. what i'm saying is that the sultan of brunei will not allow you to stay these hotels if. stay in one of these hotels if. you happen to be gay. i mean, all these sort of people. i was going to want to get into. going to say, want to get into. well, can't it. well, listen, we can't do it. really want to be traded. but we can't listen. we can't legislate how people in there run how other people in there run their and are their countries. and if we are to. me finish. if are to to. let me finish. if we are to say, oh, do , we're not going say, oh, you do, we're not going to do that and you do that, we would literally trade with no one. actually one would trade with because they'd we with us because they'd like we didn't. slave trade didn't. you have a slave trade all years ago. just all these years ago. so i just think that think we can't be think that you think we can't be doing. if had common doing. if we had common standards, had a slave standards, if we had a slave trade, standards. if we trade, no standards. if we didn't have the death penalty, we still common standards. we still common standards still have common standards because people we because these are all people we can sultan can deal with, not sultan of brunei. i suggest and then brunei. i would suggest and then you were saying by i. okay. beunda you were saying by i. okay. belinda flynn to speak. yeah. so

i would just say that the country where we are signing up to with this new trade deal have more good will towards our country and that little finger then they in thai you put together the idea that there's because we're close neighbours they're going to have our interests at heart is that you rubbish the eu i've shown the last seven years that they the opposite of goodwill to this country . so i'm glad we're country. so i'm glad we're seeking deals outside. and we did used to for hundreds of years have excellent trading with countries over the world. the eu cost is too great for the future paid and travel perks that are given to a select wealthy few of country. they it costs us the democratic agency thatis costs us the democratic agency that is too high a price to pay . denis macshane. denis i think you're for nine people waiting in 14 accuse a working class people what they should for the convention the elite the nigel farage's the pens they fly. they're the private jets are not

interested . people have all all interested. people have all all of these. i agree with by the way, thank you again angry again you know denounce . i did not you know denounce. i did not hear this. for heaven's sake , hear this. for heaven's sake, surf the afternoon. well fred. well, you talk nonsense, then it's. i have to deny when you talk nonsense, when you doing it, i interrupt you . you were it, i interrupt you. you were making the class mistake of the to europeans the european paul doesn't have the powers you'll right the decisions in europe are taken in berlin in paris, in rome . they used to be taken rome. they used to be taken here. we're now outsiders . here. we're now outsiders. that's right. we want to do that. good luck to. so by the way i love the idea of billions of 100 years. we're trading all around the world 100 years ago in very coexisted okay it's . not in very coexisted okay it's. not so i'm going to ask you ask you to stop stop stop stop european force that is right thank you.

that bumbling. yeah, that was that bumbling. yeah, that was that was such a long time ago that was such a long time ago that the british people have completely forgotten about it. the bull will be built back the red bull will be built back up as as there's another up as soon as there's another election. new deal, i don't election. this new deal, i don't know. don't like it at all. i know. i don't like it at all. i mean, basically , it was mean, basically, it was a decision with a twist. the what they the renault strike. they said the renault strike. this is the one deal, right. that it managed galvanise donald trump and clinton and joe biden because they want to join it. and here we are joining it. well, i'll stop that now, but yeah, i mean, this this could yeah, so i mean, this this could it could it could lead to having to accept hormone injected beef pesticide that we that we would never we would never have had. we don't have to have a choice and if we say no, we're like we are liable to get sued because basically that can the can i think this the seven companies in canada because of this deal that are suing various various like companies the us for example for bailing and billions of pounds. it's such it's such basically it's such a bad how i

but with as that for sort of the things it's not just food anyway but food and other things but also gb news is you know , is the also gb news is you know, is the people's channel, as we always say and the people and the people have said that they they that they trust the eu more than they trust our government. so listen you ask me that listen if you ask me that question say question i'll probably say having seen what i've how having seen what i've seen, how do balance that? actually, do you balance that? actually, i probably trust the eu slightly more this , but not because. more than this, but not because. not because i prefer the eu. and that doesn't mean i want to be in it. i've just seen what in it. and i've just seen what been through and i'm embarrassed lizzie able to win by default really. yes. the eu , an really. yes. the eu, an executive dictator but the eu is do as i say, not as i do. now let's just take look at them both. the presidents you sell wanda, ursula and charles michael. let's look at them they went to cop27 didn't they. let's add that they travel private

jets and what else did they do? they used 72 out of 112 foreign trips. they have used private jet. what's that got to say? yeah yeah. well, the famous trade for me six times, the stuff know just how they travel it's got nothing to do with how good the eu climate change really you know hypocritical yeah that's been new been new i so i, i mean she has got a point but you know like there are lots of other points of vague one but thatis of other points of vague one but that is one of the like when it's a truth and they're hypocritical them but they all just stop listening. i i know all joking aside, i actually prefer the uk government to the eu government simply because i at the eu and i just think i don't see anybody, not that i'm thinking that you should have some people of colour, things like that, but it be nice like that, but it would be nice to see some sort of variety in there. there's else i didn't really way they dealt really like the way they dealt with vaccines. know, with the vaccines. you know, when to allow

when they refused to allow vaccines to come over that they hadnt vaccines to come over that they hadn't purchased because. they'd been over, ordering been so dithering over, ordering them a long them because there's such a long process thing and just process to do the thing and just the whole people, the way they treated the uk as whole when we left the eu instead of i don't think we expected them to be so awful about the whole thing and be so bitter about the fact we would have had that vaccine rollout if wasn't for not being with they they so well with them they they did so well also tried to the also they tried to stop the vaccines that they hadn't ordered from getting the ordered from getting across the border was it was just quite ugly really so i don't really like they operate and like the way they operate and i would have to say that probably across the uk government more, but only by a little bit, but surely we won't pay for our own mp. we can fight the government's if don't like them, we check out . we don't we can check them out. we don't have to go through so different 36 to get our own 36 countries to get our own policies, and look policies, you know, and look what we've chuck what we have done. we've chuck them and over again over them out and over again over they so we did. they in the lancet. so we did. yeah, they did. but i certainly being told of the evils out way of the empire, how it is by the

last days, aren't. i feel like we should. i feel like we are out of the bosom of europe . out of the bosom of europe. don't we don't have we don't have to protection that we have we have this tight you look at the ukraine for example he would they would they would like dying to get into to smith yeah i know but there was so countries that want be within and want to be within the eu and like and as i've said before like we and as i've said before that we only because of that we only left because of boris's so i mean , we did boris's lies. so i mean, we did not the whole, the whole thing. and i'm certain that the british people agree you're wrong. we did our lies. did wrong because of our lies. i can tell you one the reasons can tell you one of the reasons why voted to was why i voted to leave was i didn't like the way money situation working . that lot situation was working. that lot of people coming from other within the eu were coming simply to fleece us for. nothing, you know, anything you don't even know. i'm going to say so. you don't know what has changed. you don't know what has changed. you don't want say sterling was don't want to say sterling was incredibly they didn't don't want to say sterling was incre

actually gave the more confidence because there were so many people there and on their last day were on a balcony and were thousands and thousands of people there cheering and saying we want king charles, we want king tut. and it was just a lovely and i thought to you know, there was harry coming , know, there was harry coming, you know, completely . and that you know, completely. and that here we have to much older people who are working incredibly hard. they were doing something all the time for three days running, you know, voting right the way through . and i right the way through. and i thought it was terrific. see camilla even did a drawing of a car character in a children's book, which was a gruffalo . but book, which was a gruffalo. but she did really well and she gave it to the children. and i thought , know she's it to the children. and i thought, know she's very natural. well, they have loved that, wouldn't they. could you imagine. yeah. you keep that wouldn't you. then years and years later say that they probably something put probably were something to put it. yeah frame or

it. to put it in. yeah frame or something. and the had done the original there and they original and there and they really liked it was really liked it. so it was really, really touching . the really, really touching. the whole i thought was, was whole thing i thought was, was wonderful cheers wonderful and all those cheers and people stand for hours in the road i thought , you the road and i thought, you know, so wrong to know, people are so wrong to he's to the job. oh, he's he's not up to the job. oh, he's doing job. and if you compare that france where there is that to france where there is not monarchy and everything's run right, what would you rather have? well a monarchy is a better option. and you see all the tensions that fancy anymore. so what prince harry, though, because he's suing the daily mail, he's on is it? yes. to two. well, what's very interesting is that he came over , but very strange . he didn't , but very strange. he didn't let the government he was coming so they could provide protect and they didn't ask for a bullet related. and one of those cars , related. and one of those cars, it can't get any bullets through the matter hydrochloride and

also to have a guards so i thought to myself i can't really believe come over there because he could said he was the other celebrity is who would also a bid to get rid of all newspapers they don't really and he he didn't make it didn't make sense me because he could have done it all zoom without coming over and actually you know 5000 miles on actually you know 5000 miles on a private jet many cars much about the air quality . and i about the air quality. and i decided that it was really to show up his and prove that he could on the front pages where his father and stepmother would in the middle. but of course they weren't because the paris was all that trip was cancelled because of all the riots. and i thought, well, you know, the travel and seeing get back, if he gets back into america you can also doing something with the course she won her case against the system. well it

seems to be that she won but then there's been an lot of kerfuffle this afternoon she didn't win . the judges said that didn't win. the judges said that samantha, her half sister , could samantha, her half sister, could read to look it all over again and apply of a slightly different order. so they that that's still going to go ahead and hasn't won at all. i don't know why. people have won, but i'm not sure who's. know why. people have won, but i'm not sure who's . but i why do i'm not sure who's. but i why do all these court cases think? you know, i think it's actually down money and they want money. i think i think they've realised that the value their real value is the stock prices falling and they need to get money and this is they need to do now they live so high standard they actually could do a little bit less of that. you know i think we all have to learn to live . i mean. have to learn to live. i mean. yes, . and they're not yes, exactly. and they're not doing that. and i think that's a terrible thing to do to attack all sorts of other so that you can make money out of it. what about joe biden now? because he's but said he's not coming, but he said

it's that customary it's not snub. is that customary that they normally there was no us. president. that they normally there was no us. president . 1953 when the us. president. 1953 when the queen had her coronation. it's not expected . i think he also not expected. i think he also was quite grumpy . he was sitting was quite grumpy. he was sitting last time for jubilee , saying last time for jubilee, saying but other people say he he likes harry and meghan so much he doesn't want to come. but i don't think that can be true. he's going to be sending wife jill , who gets he's going to be sending wife jill, who gets on very well he's going to be sending wife jill , who gets on very well with jill, who gets on very well with harry so she will she will probably be there i think it's quite highly regarded that she will. but you know, it's difficult, isn't it? there's only 2000 people that can now get squashed . and that was 8000 get squashed. and that was 8000 before. so we'll have to wait and see. he definitely won't come. i think they don't want an 80 year old man to come and also going to ireland the following month. so it's a long journey and also i think he's that well really i mean he's performance and this know what it's to

of in a vulnerable place. i have always been kind of a dominant person in everything that i've ever done. and i was married to a that used to say over the years, you know, you do that like a man. you were born in the wrong body. or my sister would say, you know, you're the perfect although look perfect husband, although i look or i wasn't. i just i had that really dominant and i to really dominant and i came to a vulnerable place in my life. you know jennings all know, jazz, jennings and all that of stuff. and casually, i god, i wonder if i'm born in the wrong body and if within a couple of days i was sitting in front of a trans woman. and one of the first things that she said to me was, well, how long have you been dressing like a man? trust me, i mean, had man? and trust me, i mean, had a business, a female business that you can't super butch in. and be an you just can't. an executive. you just can't. and that sentence that and but that sentence at that time absolutely shattered time just absolutely shattered me into idea of total and complete mortification that . i complete mortification that. i was born in the wrong body, and i didn't know it. and everybody with me. so it kind of horrible

for, you know , couple of weeks for, you know, couple of weeks thinking, man, i'm kind of stupid. then after that , i stupid. then after that, i started to kind of change my life from what it would have been like if i was born a boy, then a girl father played professional sports , i probably professional sports, i probably would have played professional sports as if i was a man. i probably would have done all these things would have been lifted on whatever that people say they want in a boy. i was athletic . you know, just all athletic. you know, just all that stuff . and so as i go that stuff. and so as i go through all those challenges in my life, you know, being dealing with never wanting to do with that, never wanting to do that, thought, well , god, that, i thought, well, god, maybe i am born in the wrong body. it was at that moment that nobody take that away from nobody could take that away from me. that's how i started to transition worrying about is that moment, is that a lot of young people are sort of, oh, well, maybe i'm in the wrong body and they're young. so they be teenagers. they may be in a pre—pubescent and they're going through that and then adults are

kind of verifying and sort of giving them the feeling that maybe they are and then starting process said this started you on a process and what was the first thing that you did in that process when you felt like that, when you heard that it resonated you so right. what was the first thing you did. well it was it was within a couple of weeks i was within a couple of weeks i was on i was hormones and the doctor said something to me that i probably have paid attention to, but i was in that it was in that idea that, hey, i get to, you know, i don't have to be a lesbian. i don't have to. first thing people say to me is, why are lesbian, you know, you're a decent looking woman. can decent looking woman. you can get i mean, the your get a man. i mean, the your whole surrounded whole life is surrounded by that. i thought, god, maybe that. and i thought, god, maybe that. and i thought, god, maybe that make go away. and that will make that go away. and so point , the doctor so from that point, the doctor told me that, hey , we really told me that, hey, we really don't know how much hormones to you. we don't know. it's never been studied. we do have to give you amounts to of you massive amounts to kind of basically tone down your oestrogen and then turn up your testosterone. so have

testosterone. so have testosterone during body. so we're not giving kids just a little bit of testosterone. i mean, they have give like mean, they have to give like three more to the they're three times more to the they're suicidal. and it just keeps going from there. so you said in the beginning that i almost died for medical transition and i did and puts me in a very, very situation with the fact that i have kids that or at the age that these children thinking that these children thinking that they're transgender on top of doing it on top of researching it, trying to save my own life . and here's the my own life. and here's the thing that is very, very interesting to me and that is there only seven studies that say the medically zation of children is beneficial. say the medically zation of children is beneficial . and children is beneficial. and every single one of them has been retracted, with which i doesn't work or not enough time to say if it's beneficial or not. now we do have one long term study and study tells us that us trance or most suicidal not before after 7 to 10 years because it's a process . right? because it's a process. right? you get that? oh, i get to fit

in and then we get to the done. you don't have anything else to do. you kind of look left, right, well, that didn't right, go. well, that didn't help. and then you have to go. i still have to work on the inside. and that's these inside. and that's why these kids insistent. it's kids are so insistent. it's because and because they are different. and that's tell that's what i would tell parents. any that says that they're transgender. first of all, transgender is cosmetic surgery anything. surgery doesn't fix anything. all the say it makes all the studies say it makes mental health worse. the health complications are absolute . complications are absolute. they're astronomical . they're they're astronomical. they're finding that girls spines aren't fusing together. early onset osteoporosis for a process that actually makes health worse sometimes . just sitting in my sometimes. just sitting in my office, i just look and i just think there's going to be somebody that comes out at any moment and said, you're on camera. we're not. to chaz's kids . you don't. i mean, it's kids. you don't. i mean, it's that wrong that i mean, i don't understand . people don't get it. understand. people don't get it. and the reason why they get it is because the mainstream media is because the mainstream media is not getting it out. you know,

that video that i have on my twitter that has like 4 million views. yeah, that has over 4 million views now. i've been kicked of twitter six times since ellen taken over. it's the reason why we're having shift is that people are allowed to put their opinions up. that video just is on fire for million people have watched that video and that video was basically talking to the telling them shame on you all you're doing is calling the senator here a bigot instead of looking at the facts and all you've seen it and would you be surprised to know that not one one journalist reached out to me. now i did get britney bailey make fun of me , but bailey make fun of me, but that's it. that's and so that society doesn't know what's happening what i'm glad i reached out to you because i really was moved by that video. and i want to i want to ask you. so what will your complications? because you said you almost died. what happened to you? why did die? well well,

did you almost die? well well, there some problems with the with the surgery and first of all, i got my bladder nicked. one of my first surgeries. i didn't have much problem until i got to end and which was you know blood stuff and having to be on blood thinners and it does affect your all that kind of stuff until i had a bottom surgery and bottom surgery basically after that surgery that i now know i should have never gotten because i have blood issues i had a pulmonary embolism that induced stress embolism that induced a stress heart attack . after that , it was heart attack. after that, it was actually one of the biggest heart attacks in the state of kansas, by the way, in texas, by the way. and after that i found out that i had a ligament sticking through my arm. i had no clue. i went to the doctor, the transits, you know, trans, and he's like, oh, no, you're fine the next day i'm in surgery for that. i go back to the doctor and i show him something here, i have an infection in this. you side where they put that tube and he says, oh, you're great, i'm in an ambulance later with

ambulance two days later with sepsis . then i started to feel sepsis. then i started to feel better , and then started to better, and then i started to feel hell and nobody could help me. i lost my insurance, my transgender surgeon in texas , he transgender surgeon in texas, he had nine medical malpractice cases against him in banned from conducting surgery in san francisco. moves to texas where they have a tort reform act. and our governor takes millions from gender clinics . he basically gender clinics. he basically i was an in and out of the hospital he put me in the hospital he put me in the hospital and i spent 17 months with a reoccurring infection and that reoccurring infection got so bad that i lost everything. that's how i lost everything . that's how i lost everything. how i know it's experimental is because had to figure out what was wrong with me first. second of all, i had to get on state funded insurance because i lost everything. i couldn't find anybody in. the state that i was in that knew with me, in that knew to what with me, oh, experimental. and they oh, it's experimental. and they that i had six inches here on the inside of my urethra so that caused 17 month infection

towards end i was still working so i could get insurance but i had like an iv sick tube in my arm before i went to work. i would i would go i.v. antibiotics for 30 days. on the weekends, i would check myself from the hospital and then check myself out because i didn't have insurance. me. insurance. nobody would help me. it's nightmare it's an it's a nightmare it's an absolute nightmare. and finally. so because we're running out of time terms of maintaining time in terms of maintaining this whole thing, is there lot of maintenance in it? because people think had the people think you've had the surgery, just go or surgery, now you can just go or do what you have to do is. you have to take drugs every day. what we've got about a minute left. what's okay as left. what's your okay note as far the surgeries, the bottom far as the surgeries, the bottom surgeries, notorious surgeries, they're notorious bladder do bladder infections. they do become lifesaving after antibiotic x don't work anymore. so reoccurring black bladder infections are one heart issues lung issues. you have to be on synthetic hormones. if you have a full, complete 100% transition. so there enormous amounts health issues for a process that makes mental health worse. it's like i said, i'm

candid camera. i'm waiting for him to pop any time as it shortens life. is that what you're saying? oh, yeah, absolutely . has testosterone absolutely. has testosterone across hormones actually shorten your life 10 to 15. that's that's a fact. but have congestive heart failure for my heart attack. i have, you know, lung damage i get reoccurring infections still. so yeah, absolutely. i mean, i'm not going be here very long. do you wish you done it ? oh, god, yeah. wish you done it? oh, god, yeah. yeah. medical transition , fix yeah. medical transition, fix anything. and unfortunately people don't realise that. and the people with true gender dysphoria, which is a serious, serious mental illness , those serious mental illness, those are the ones that are killing themselves at 7 to 10 years because those are the people that are being medically transitioned for delusion. it's the know it's the people that know it's cosmetic surgery, do cosmetic surgery, that do halfway okay. well, halfway decent. okay. well, listen, your listen, if people to follow your work you're doing , do work and what you're doing, do you can they you you have where can they find you ? well, trade voice is t r e voices dot org. i'm on a tour right now in the states, state to state building. bill got

seven bills passed . i'm thinking seven bills passed. i'm thinking of going to the uk if knows how to put something together . to put something together. people hear this and people need to hear this and unfortunately yeah come to the unfortunately. yeah come to the uk. it's not doing it. we'll try get it fixed and you'll come to gb news first. yeah it's got to thank you so much cause really good to talk to you. take care. we'll actually see you soon. thank much. that is thank you very much. that is scott he's the founder scott nugent. he's the founder of voices well, on this particular issue, stonewall previously said most people who transition do so without any regrets . d transitioning very regrets. d transitioning is very rare but it does happen a research analysis showed that 3000 of the 3298 trans patients who had appointments at an nhs identity service between 2016 and 17, less than % said in those and 17, less than% said in those appointments that had experienced transition related or had transitioned d transition does not in and of itself mean regret. it can mean that a person longer identifies as trans or feel that they now are different. they are now a different. they are now a different gender to the one they

previously identified as . right. previously identified as. right. so coming up, it's the great british. so i'm staying with a similar i'm asking, should children be allowed to change their gender? so self identity without the of their parents. we'll be hearing all the argument we'll be back after this .

good this is gb news tv online and on digital radio where the people's channel. don't forget. well, you can stream us live on youtube. i'm nana akua and it's time for our great british this hour and i'm asking should children allowed to self i.d. without parental knowledge? now following controversial findings in the report by the policy exchange prime minister saying that there's promise to announce new government to school teachers on to how tackle the growing trans issues . that

growing trans issues. that includes further guidance on the importance of schools notifying parents about their children . parents about their children. now the report by the right leaning think tank policy exchange was made up of findings from over hundred freedom of information requests that were sent to secondary schools in england. it suggests that some schools do not maintain single sex toilets or changing rooms. now the labour mp, rosie duffield, who has been outspoken on gender issues, said that policy exchange exposes the reality that this ideology is widespread across secondary and this government has failed children by allowing partisan beliefs to become entrenched within the education system. meanwhile, the opposition failed to pull them up on it. so if the great british debates are asking should children be allowed to self without parental knowledge? right. i'm joined now by peter tatchell. these lgbtq activist and the director of peter tatchell foundation . debbie tatchell foundation. debbie hayton is transgender teacher and journalist. nick he's the

ceo of turning point. right. so i'm going to start with you, peter. peter that a lot of schools seem to be doing this potentially a no knowing about this, but not letting the parents know. do you think it's acceptable? well, number one priority in every case must be the welfare and well—being of the welfare and well—being of the young person that before anything else . and we know that anything else. and we know that people who do self i.d. anything else. and we know that people who do self id. to affirm their trans identity , affirm their trans identity, they are much happier. they are much less anxiety depression, self—harm . so these are good self—harm. so these are good reasons why we should listen to young people who identify trans. of course , it is always best of course, it is always best that the school does inform and consult with the parents. but should be done with the agreement of the young person because sadly , are some parents because sadly, are some parents where if they knew their child

was identifying as trans would subject them verbal abuse threats and even physical violence. and we cannot allow to happen. we must not risk young people's welfare by recklessly regardless of the circumstances, informing parents. well, this could be and debbie, you you're you're also teacher on. well, what was your. you're also teacher on. well, what was your . yeah. yeah well what was your. yeah. yeah well well, my thoughts are this is . well, my thoughts are this is. this is a major issue in child's life. we have safeguarding policies school which involve which which mean that we inform people who need to know and that includes parents we should be following exactly and procedures in this case as we would in any other case. and quite frankly, peter mentioned , parents. those peter mentioned, parents. those parents. peter mentioned, if that's the case, we should be involved in social services and external agencies. if we really have that concern about parents. but simply not to tell parents,

it's a dereliction of our duty, we wouldn't we don't change a gcse option without a parental signature here. children may be setting optional parts of children's agenda and we're not even informing those parents. okay, nick nana, if you'd like to ask me the question you asked peter, i'd like to answer it. should children be allowed self? no. peter, i. that's probably one of the most awful things i've ever. i'm aware of who you are. checked out your twitter. kudos you for standing up for what you believe in in this lifetime. you've obviously achieved and an achieved an awful and as an activist, respect . but what an activist, i respect. but what an awful thing to say. what let's just unpack what you the just unpack what you said. the parents beat the child potentially when they come home and question their id their genden and question their id their gender, their their biology for example. and what an absolute load nonsense. the children should not be allowed self i.d. should not be allowed self id. and this radical agenda has to be stopped and the notion that we need to safeguard i think you spun it that we have to

safeguard children because because fear of what might happen to them at home for being taught false , radical taught this false, radical nonsense. it'sjust taught this false, radical nonsense. it's just it's . it's nonsense. it'sjust it's. it's madness . i'm nonsense. it'sjust it's. it's madness. i'm very surprised that you'd say that. peter please respond . well, first of all, respond. well, first of all, let's be clear. there are trans people in our society , many people in our society, many realise that trans at young age to deny them that identity does we know lead to much higher than average of depression anxiety , average of depression anxiety, truancy from school underperformance academically andindeedin underperformance academically and indeed in some instances . so and indeed in some instances. so we have to stop that. we can't allow that to happen. everybody has a right to identify how they wish. that's a fundamental principle in a free and democratic society. the idea that people should be forced to identify as something they're not, but is profoundly totalitarian. and this is exactly the same set of arguments we used against gay people . and 40 years ago. you

people. and 40 years ago. you know, we have a right to identify how we wish and of course, as i said wherever possible, there should be consultation with parents. but we mustn't put children in a situation of jeopardy. it's no use debbie saying, well, if they beat the kid, then we should get social services. that's after the fact . we don't want kids to the fact. we don't want kids to be beaten by their parents the first place. debbie no. no if. if we think we think that parents may do that and that we're not telling the parents something so important because of that, then we should be going to external agencies at that point. then not keeping secrets from parents not setting up a situation where. children know what's going on. the children's friends know what's going on, the teachers know what's going on.and the teachers know what's going on. and only people who do not know what's going on are the parents. it's putting those parents. it's putting those parents impossible parents an impossible situation, and the and it's no basis for the children . children's should be children. children's should be bnng children. children's should be bring up children in that situation when there are secrets around . if i situation when there are secrets

around. if i may. situation when there are secrets around . if i may. sorry, peter, around. if i may. sorry, peter, i'm not. this conversation by leftie nonsense. what? debbie didn't say what you said that she'd said. we can all agree that obviously there needs be safeguarding away from abusive parents. that's not what these conversations this conversations about. this is about in. the uk pushing about schools in. the uk pushing about schools in. the uk pushing a radical fall agenda onto something that started out benevolent like lgb for example is now becoming evil and toxic and it is the safeguarding issues all absolutely off the chart. it's been called out and there's absolute we know it's indefensible . and same goes with indefensible. and same goes with rc and what children are being taught it's completely inappropriate. and i'm sure you're familiar the curriculum that peter peter blocked. no i know young trans people through the work i do. i know the trauma they go through . and when their they go through. and when their identity is . i know the extreme identity is. i know the extreme suffering they go through. they feel totally rejected. we mustn't do that to young people.

of course . young people must be of course. young people must be educated in a form. they must be counsel. but to simply deny them, the right to identify who they believe are. that is just so fundamentally wrong. this is that's what they do in a fascist regime, not in a democracy. mean we believe freedom. it is not a far left agenda. this is exactly what people said when we campaigned for gay rights 40 and 50 years ago. they said it was a far left agenda. it wasn't . it's far left agenda. it wasn't. it's a human rights agenda. and the same for trans people. it's their human right to identify . their human right to identify. they wish. and of course, schools should should support them and counsel. they should know. no school is encouraging young to be trans. no one's young kids to be trans. no one's forcing to be trans. scores are simply saying if a pupil comes to them and, identifies as trans, then that should be respected. course there should be counselling and of course wherever possible the should be consulted . but it should be consulted. but it should be a consultation with young person, not just parents, but people ,

not just parents, but people, their child a young person. these people that you say wherever possible and as a parent. i would expect the school should tell me and i would think that that would their duty to tell me. but debbie, i'm going to give you 20 seconds to you, then find out what nick. debbie i think, as i said, the same rules apply. if a child comes to school with is child comes to a school with is expressing feelings , self—harm expressing feelings, self—harm or eating disorders , the parents or eating disorders, the parents should be told and the parents should be told and the parents should be told in this case in exactly way. nick, final exactly same way. nick, final word this a call out word to you. this is a call out to the british public. it's a call out to the government to do the thing and to enlist to the right thing and to enlist to investigation has begun that behind if you're a parent behind the. if you're a parent with a child i know there's been some lately from people some tweets lately from people closely related to gb news. she's parent i was very she's a parent and i was very very emotions that tweet. very mixed emotions that tweet. if you should if you're a parent you should know this and you should know about this and you should be you should be boycotting lobbying writing this a lobbying writing to. this is a call action the british call to action to the british pubuc call to action to the british public do the right thing. public to do the right thing. this abuse. are this is child abuse. there are two are there are two and there are there are there are two genders and end of

changing rooms. so for the great british debate this hour, i'm asking, should children be allowed without allowed to self id without parental knowledge ? i i'd parental knowledge? i know i'd be furious , but let's see what be furious, but let's see what my panel think of that. i'm joined second also down joined by the second also down sam dowler. so finding is the very difficult subject . and very difficult subject. and while you had peter tatchell on just earlier, now i agree with him when he says that there are certain situations whereby , you certain situations whereby, you know, would be, you know dangerous for a child to for the teachers tell the parents etc. because the parents might be if they meet they might talk them out. i mean it's happened many, many times in the uk however like that, however, however before we, you know, when i was given subject today, i given the subject today, i purposefully called a of mine from school who's, who's whose daughter as trans and daughter identifies as trans and she is 12 and i watched and what she is 12 and i watched and what she to and what my friend said to me was that that isn't that isn't to do with the teachers

isn't to do with the teachers isn't to do with the teachers isn't to do with education. it's mainly to do with things tik—tok, for example, whereby is. i'm not saying it's like a craze or anything like that, but i'm it is it is something i'm saying it is it is something that, you know, that the kids the kids are seeing. so i mean, what they need is education at school. they lgbtq school. they need lgbtq education from young age so education from a young age so that know what's happening that they know what's happening and .she that they know what's happening and . she said she would and ultimate. she said she would she would prefer for her for you know, for the school to have to have hen know, for the school to have to have her. they and they have told her. and they and they and they did tell her. but then but then this is the is but then this is the this is somebody who uses uses a different at school and different name at school and then her then uses her given by her parents at home. it's all to do education and looking after the children . did you know what children. did you know what i find interesting that people only listen to a minority when it suits their rights so in this instance earlier just before we came out with the break, you were saying that there's only a few people that then change their mind about transition thing. but thing. very few. yeah, but you're ignoring you're taking note of ignoring that minority . but yet when that minority. but yet when a minority , a minority of trans minority, a minority of trans people want to do something,

you're taking of the you're taking notice of the minority . and so for me, i minority. yeah. and so for me, i find people seem to use the minority when it suits them. and in arguments . well, yeah, in the arguments. well, yeah, but but you're but you're for you. but you're doing again, then you'll get doing it again, then you'll get but obviously would but your guest obviously would have through difficulty have gone through the difficulty to get puberty blockers for to even get puberty blockers for example you have to go through hoops and hoops and hoops and the parents not the parents have to be not according to some of the it but again you the people who it but again you start breaking is one too many i mean that is that is but that is so that's the way of life in general . that's going to be general. that's going to be a normal child. there's going to be anomalies wherever. you are. but you would have led with the trans minority over the majority . now you're leading a saying, ignonng . now you're leading a saying, ignoring minority. but this is a minority of a minority. so, i mean, of course, it shouldn't be ignored at all. i and i'm ignored at all. and i and i'm very sorry for this person who had a terrible time, but like, you know, most of of most you know, most of it's of most of who go, through of people who go, through full transition, live happier, better lives for themselves. that is true. nice of you to

true. that is nice of you to think those are the statistics . think those are the statistics. so as a as a mother if i thought one of my sons was going through that and had questions about their gender and their teacher didn't inform me i would be absolutely devastated in every sense of the word over to the team for them they do for the most part. absolutely. and they should. and should do. i think the parents should be consulted. 28% schools informing 28% of schools are informing children of distress. if children of their distress. if they are quite capable. this is from rightwing think site . the from rightwing think site. the wellbeing of our children is paramount. nothing matters and i agree. that's that includes his children . they are like the children. they are like the caretakers . and as a mother caretakers. and as a mother i entrust that teacher to do the right thing , not put their own right thing, not put their own ideology views or notions. these teachers are not putting their own ideologies that they are letting them settle down. yep, a child can be confused their sex, whether they of course. so they discuss it with their parents, with the teachers ideology onto

that child. and they and the teachers are right to inform the parent unless there is some extreme reason . why not? well, extreme reason. why not? well, i night just as i just said these this isn't coming from the teachers. the teachers are there to safeguard, to listen to children and to and they are all in a terrible position. the moment when we teach them in a bad position already as it is, you know, was that was that was pushing agenda onto children for the is to teach maths and the school is to teach maths and all the other stuff i'll do the parental i don't want them doing it because teach let's it because i teach well let's take let's what i mean if take let's see what i mean if they've got good schools they've got really good schools in maths and then fine, but they haven't got the let's haven't got the right. let's welcome british voice welcome our great british voice on show their opportunity on to the show their opportunity to they think about to tell us what they think about the discussing. i've got the topics discussing. i've got four got to let's four of you i've got to let's with sessions move keynes he with dr. sessions move keynes he should be allowed to take on this information to this information not have to tell good tell the parents. good afternoon, nana. i'm totally agreeing with what you have said . what lizzie has said as a parent myself of three teenagers, i would want the

teachers to be to tell me about changes. and i think withholding this information from who have parental responsibility is not the right way forward . but i do the right way forward. but i do agree with what sam is . sam is agree with what sam is. sam is saying we probably need to educate. educate children, educate. educate children, educate parents and, more education around the lgbt should be done in. the schools. that's not the job of . the school, the not the job of. the school, the school has got to teach them maths history. certainly i'm going to move to leave you. what do you think ? i a lot of this do you think? i a lot of this children in salford find any how i think it's a fad on the children it's a rebellious stage for a lot of them things like that if the teachers come across children self—identifying as novices so of fluid i don't see whatever they should be actually telling the parents they're not trying and in things like body dysmorphia things like that that's a medical intervention that's a medical intervention that needs to be happening there . and so therefore they need to be telling parents if their children are self identified. i

think like i said, some purple had left the teacher is in no way trained . there's let's get way trained. there's let's get into it. julie talk to me. what do you think then . a jerry ford. do you think then. a jerry ford. she's there in shefford . hi she's there in shefford. hi there . yeah, i'm not a parent there. yeah, i'm not a parent myself , so there. yeah, i'm not a parent myself, so i'm there. yeah, i'm not a parent myself , so i'm not saying there. yeah, i'm not a parent myself, so i'm not saying this from a parental perspective, but for me the schools are there to educate and children especially as the young lass that some sam is talking about they're 12 years old they're still learning. they're still growing. they're still working where they fit in in this world. and i don't think school is the right place to teach them what identity let the identity they be. yes. let the parents that they've had this conversation and the parents then need to sit down, talk to their child and help them understand where they fit in into . it's the into this. it's not for the school they're fighting already in just basic education. don't need to add this to their need to add this task to their list another say they list with another say they wouldn't in wouldn't. david thorpe in watford . hello, everybody .

watford. hello, everybody. actually, one thing that i won't forget as , parents, we are forget as, parents, we are legally responsible for our children's behaviour , the school children's behaviour, the school and not at all if a child plays at the school are punished, the parents are . you cannot have it parents are. you cannot have it both ways and. that's, as you said, a parent is the best person to put child to discuss things with. if a child goes to teach and explains what's on and the teacher can talk to the parents. but there are times whether it's a fundamental jew, whatever we would to a child transitioning there, it's a very fine line, but they're not trained to teach , to discuss trained to teach, to discuss this with children . absolutely. this with children. absolutely. listen, thank you so much for your thoughts. lee in bedford, juue your thoughts. lee in bedford, julie in sanford, david in watford and szczesny in milton. thank you so much. there's my voice. yours, right? voice. is one of yours, right? moving another that caught moving on to another that caught my eye today. water companies could fines under could face unlimited fines under new to tackle new government plans to tackle pollution now pollution and polluters pay now environment secretary is expected to announce enforcement against companies next to raise. coffey's plans include . the
