people saying, well, do we now need to have quarantine camps on arrival ? and what do you make of arrival? and what do you make of that? no, i'm not i'm not sure thot— that? no, i'm not i'm not sure thot thot— that? no, i'm not i'm not sure that that that— that? no, i'm not i'm not sure that that that would- “it7 no, i'm not i'm not sure that that that would actually work. — that that that would actually work. uh.— that that that would actually vvort. uh. tr— that that that would actually work. um, if we— that that that would actually work. um, if we identify sorhehooy— work. um, if we identify somebody with diphtheria here, they— somebody with diphtheria here, they soh— somebody with diphtheria here, they he— somebody with diphtheria here, they can be they— somebody with diphtheria here, they can be they can be isolated oho— they can be they can be isolated one they— they can be they can be isolated one they soh— they can be they can be isolated and they can be— they can be they can be isolated and they can be treated so that thot-s— and they can be treated so that thus hot— and they can be treated so that that's not really— and they can be treated so that that's not really a— and they can be treated so that that's not really a problem. um, you— that's not really a problem. um, you got— that's not really a problem. um, you got to— that's not really a problem. um, you got to remember, patrick, thot— you got to remember, patrick, thot sets— you got to remember, patrick, thot set/o ot— you got to remember, patrick, that 86% of the _ you got to remember, patrick, that 86% of the uk population vvtt— that 86% of the uk population vvttt hove— that 86% of the uk population will have been— that 86% of the uk population will have been vaccinated ooothst— will have been vaccinated against diphtheria anyway. so it's against diphtheria anyway. so tt-s hot— against diphtheria anyway. so it's not something that i would reotty— it's not something that i would reotty ththt— it's not something that i would really think is,— it's not something that i would really think is, is— it's not something that i would really think is, is going to get too— really think is, is going to get thto the— really think is, is going to get into the general— really think is, is going to get into the general population . um into the general population. um it's interesting— into the general population. um it's interesting that these are atohoh— it's interesting that these are afghan shoest— it's interesting that these are afghan males. i— it's interesting that these are afghan males. i mean , i would afghan males. i mean, i would thot— afghan males. i mean, i would assume that we're, that afghanistan— assume that we're, that afghanistan is not a country where— afghanistan is not a country vvhere ve— afghanistan is not a country where we are— afghanistan is not a country where we are vaccinating at shttoreh— where we are vaccinating at children against— where we are vaccinating at children against diphtheria . children against diphtheria. coutu— children against diphtheria. soutu you— children against diphtheria.

could you understand- children against diphtheria. could you understand why there may well be some public concern, though, when it comes to if people arrive over here, there is some form of medical check taking place. yeah, but then they may be are very quickly sent out into to hotels and places like that around the country. and then allowed to come in and out of those hotels. i wonder whether or not some people ordering members of the pubuc people ordering members of the public just may be concerned really about all of this . um, i really about all of this. um, i think when you mention an illness like diphtheria , um, it illness like diphtheria, um, it does set alarm bells going for the general public. but i've done, i've done— the general public. but i've done, i've done a- the general public. but i've done, i've done a lot- g i. but i've done, i've done a lot of research on— done, i've done a lot of research on it.- done, i've done a lot of research on it. the small thing one— research on it. the small thing one ush— research on it. the small thing one up .— research on it. the small thing one up .the— research on it. the small thing and um , the figures that i've and um, the figures that i've seen from um,— and um, the figures that i've seen from um, um, uk ehcr don't reotty— seen from um, um, uk ehcr don't reotty suggest— seen from um, um, uk ehcr don't really suggest that— seen from um, um, uk ehcr don't really suggest that it is going to he— really suggest that it is going to he o— really suggest that it is going to he o huge— really suggest that it is going to be a huge problem . um, kevin, to be a huge problem. um, kevin, just to be a huge problem. um, kevin, tust rust— to be a huge problem. um, kevin, tust tust outstty— to be a huge problem. um, kevin, just just quickly to— to be a huge problem. um, kevin, just just quickly to do on this. so just just quickly to do on this. so just— just just quickly to do on this. so tust very— just just quickly to do on this. so just very quickly— just just quickly to do on this. so just very quickly on- just just quickly to do on this. so just very quickly on this. kevin if that's all right, what kind of state do people arrive in when you see them on these

boats and landing here? i mean, are lot of them unwell are a lot of them quite unwell if they've living in if they've been living in squalid conditions in calais ? squalid conditions in calais? some of them, some of them are. some— some of them, some of them are. some ot— some of them, some of them are. some ot them— some of them, some of them are. some of them aren't— some of them, some of them are. some of them aren't . i know some of them aren't. i know thot-s— some of them aren't. i know that's probably— some of them aren't. i know that's probably not the answer you— that's probably not the answer you reotty— that's probably not the answer you really want,— that's probably not the answer you really want, but it's the answer, isn't— you really want, but it's the answer, isn't it?— you really want, but it's the answer, isn't it? it's a it's a suture.— answer, isn't it? it's a it's a mixture. yeah.— answer, isn't it? it's a it's a mixture. yeah. some of them are under— mixture. yeah. some of them are uhoer vvhot— mixture. yeah. some of them are uhoer vhot t— mixture. yeah. some of them are under what i would— mixture. yeah. some of them are under what i would be more vvorrteo— under what i would be more worried about,— under what i would be more worried about, patrick, is that peopte— worried about, patrick, is that peopte arriving— worried about, patrick, is that people arriving in the uk that we're not intercepting people thot— we're not intercepting people thot oe— we're not intercepting people that are missing— we're not intercepting people that are missing border force one— that are missing border force one there— that are missing border force and there are— that are missing border force and there are a— that are missing border force and there are a few who, if they-ve— and there are a few who, if they-ve pot— and there are a few who, if they-ve oot tt— and there are a few who, if they've got it, then then it vvouto— they've got it, then then it vvouto he— they've got it, then then it vvouto he o— they've got it, then then it would be a little bit more of an tssue— would be a little bit more of an . hevth— would be a little bit more of an issue . kevin look,— would be a little bit more of an issue . kevin look, thank you issue. kevin look, thank you very— issue. kevin look, thank you very rhush. — issue. kevin look, thank you very much. kevin- issue. kevin look, thank you very much. i“ very much. kevin saunders there, who is the former chief immigration officer at the uk border force, now , before i go border force, now, before i go to my doctor guest on this to give you a little bit of reassurance, i think it is reassurance, i think it is reassurance actually, about the diphtheria. sharp rise linked to the channel migrant crossings. i'm going to take you to paris now. you lucky people or although what we're

although not given what we're about this is yet again about to see, this is yet again more rioting and civil unrest in paris. what we're looking at paris. so what we're looking at now protests. it's part of now is protests. it's part of a nationwide day of protests in france against pension plans. so seems a bit like this massive in paris . we are expecting there to paris. we are expecting there to be other outbreaks of civil unrest in other parts of the country as well. and for those people who are listening on radio, i'm going to describe the scene now. there appears to be plenty people in the crowd plenty of people in the crowd wearing erg protective gear themselves as well, of course, as the riot police. and there's as the riot police. and there's a bit a charge taking place a bit of a charge taking place at the moment. people may remember on this show last remember on this very show last week, similar to this. week, scenes similar to this. and what happened very quickly. and what happened very quickly. and why we're to and this is why we're going to be close eye on it, is be keeping a close eye on it, is that as soon as scenes like this happen, french police happen, the french riot police got tear got involved. there was tear gas, looked to be tear gas. gas, what looked to be tear gas. anyway there were things like smoke grenades. also seemed smoke grenades. they also seemed a , happy to the a bit perfect, happy to use the batons and protesters batons and the protesters themselves were setting fire to shopfronts and causing a whole

load of damage. i'm not sure if we've got any sound on this clip at all. at the minute. if we do, at all. at the minute. if we do, at some point we might be able to hear what sounds. to just hear what it sounds. yeah, there we go. so we can just turn that up a bit and just maybe flavour of what maybe just get a flavour of what the is like. there the atmosphere is like. there okay. . yeah, rather a lot of okay. so. yeah, rather a lot of chanting. there we go . smoke chanting. there we go. smoke grenade being deployed . so grenade being deployed. so there's a bank of french riot police there holding a line in the middle of a street in paris and they have organised pretty quickly. they ran from one end of that street over to the other and the crowd is really cheering and the crowd is really cheering and it looks to me as though we're seeing a new wave of police all with white helmets on and what would appear to me anyway to be bullet—proof stab proof vest. now these police are being pushed back now by the crowd who are starting to throw objects at them , little objects at them, little projectiles . looks as though

projectiles. looks as though there are bottles being thrown . there are bottles being thrown. i'm just going to give a warning now to everyone that, of course, we don't know what we're about to see. could well end up being quite a disturbing scene there. so bear that in mind as i look at looks like at one individual who looks like at one individual who looks like a just a normal member of the public, they're led public, they're being led away with his face, with blood on his face, surrounded french paramedics surrounded by french paramedics and french police as well, who are now being pushed back from that main road down a side street. and this does look, i've got to be honest with you, as though it could get pretty dangerous, this because the area that they're trying to hold there is relatively small. they're away. hopefully there is relatively small. theycamera away. hopefully there is relatively small. theycamera pansway. hopefully there is relatively small. theycamera pans around pefully there is relatively small. theycamera pans around againy that camera pans around again soon we can see the kind of soon and we can see the kind of main thrust of action. main thrust of the action. but certainly person certainly at least one person there what seems to be there with what seems to be a relatively significant head injury. people are still gathering there. the police again, there's just standoff again, there's just a standoff taking reminder , taking place. just a reminder, actually, of this what actually, in all of this what this all about, actually, this is all about, actually, which is about the rising the which is about the rising of the french age from 62 to french pension age from 62 to 64. and people are very, very

angry about it, saying especially the people who work angry about it, saying es the ally the people who work angry about it, saying es the public; people who work angry about it, saying es the public services who work angry about it, saying es the public services into work angry about it, saying es the public services in france in the public services in france and this time last week, we've had people who are at the french ratcatchers, believe it or not, the rodent detectives, as it were, throwing the carcases of rats out of town hall in france. and today, members of the public are back out in force again. just a reminder as well that this is nationwide protest. this is a nationwide protest. we're seeing this in paris we're just seeing this in paris now. bring more detail to now. we'll bring more detail to you the country. but you from around the country. but riot clashing with riot police are clashing with protesters in the french caphal protesters in the french capital. and one thing that is fascinating about this protest, actually, widespread it actually, is how widespread it is now, these pension reforms were not actually on by were not actually voted on by the clearly but they the people. clearly but they were not really given their were also not really given their due diligence in the french parliament and in the french political arena . anna, it was political arena. anna, it was kind of waved through by emmanuel macron. and people are saying that this is him behaving like a little dictator, but one thing is fascinating about thing that is fascinating about it absolute breadth of it is the absolute breadth of people the vast strength of people and the vast strength of feeling all corners. you've feeling from all corners. you've got people, you know,

got your usual people, you know, trade unionists students who trade unionists and students who are not happy about it. you've obviously got the who are obviously got the people who are approaching age , but approaching pension age, but you've got, frankly , just you've also got, frankly, just a lot ordinary french people , lot of ordinary french people, the kind of squishy middle class who certainly, if you look at what would happen in britain, really, you wouldn't necessarily see them out on the streets in force. i mean, when do you. but in france, not the case. in france, that's not the case. and i think emmanuel and this is why i think emmanuel macron particularly concerned and this is why i think emmanuel maiton particularly concerned and this is why i think emmanuel mait all. particularly concerned and this is why i think emmanuel mait all. but�*ticularly concerned and this is why i think emmanuel mait all. but it's larly concerned and this is why i think emmanuel mait all. but it's worth oncerned and this is why i think emmanuel mait all. but it's worth notingzd by it all. but it's worth noting that this has been going on now on off at least two on and off for at least two weeks, hasn't it? it shows weeks, hasn't it? and it shows no signs stopping. and we're no signs of stopping. and we're just there french just looking there at french police well , it appears police who are well, it appears to me pretty badly cornered, actually, on a high street in france, on a main street . and france, on a main street. and they've allowed themselves, certainly from the footage that we can see at the moment, they've allowed themselves to actually be surrounded by these protesters . again, i just wonder protesters. again, i just wonder if turn that volume up a if i can turn that volume up a little bit again on this now and just if can get a bit just see if we can get a bit some of atmosphere once more

some of the atmosphere once more . i've got a feeling that this might be about to get a little bit nasty because there's french police are all backed up against a wall of a building and they are surrounded. there's probably about a 30 yard gap between those french police and the protesters . it's very difficult protesters. it's very difficult for me to tell at the moment how many there are french many protesters there are french authorities. i think, have just deployed smoke, grenade or may well be tear gas. we'll have to wait and see. on what the reaction is from the crowd. there does appear to be causing a little bit of a minor dispersal right in front of it. but there we go. well, we're going to take you back to paris throughout course of this throughout the course of this show scene develops , show as this scene develops, perhaps. and hopefully we'll have information have a bit more information on that right. that's that as well. right. so that's paris currently stands, paris as it currently stands, very a standoff taking very much a standoff taking place there . okay. all right. place there. okay. all right. well we are going to return now, though , to the story that we though, to the story that we were leading the show with at the top of the show, which is something that think when you something that i think when you read headline of it and you

read the headline of it and you see the kind of surface level detail concern, detail cause for concern, a massive concern. but massive cause for concern. but is that really justified? and thatis is that really justified? and that is the story about a sharp increase diphtheria cases increase in uk diphtheria cases that are being linked to channel migrant crossings. now, 97% of the patients with diphtheria were young afghan males under 18, with unknown vaccination history, 73 cases. so again, it's 73 cases. it's the reason why it's a sharp increase is because it's from such a low base. but i wanted to get a little bit of medical advice here right now. and i'm joined by dr. bharat pankhania, who is a senior clinical lecturer at the of exeter medical the university of exeter medical school. bharat, thank you school. dr. bharat, thank you very much. people read the very much. when people read the headlines, think they might headlines, i think they might be quite all of this. quite scared about all of this. they have a migrant hotel they might have a migrant hotel in community, might in their community, they might be it getting out be worried about it getting out into wider community. how into the wider community. how scared not scared should people be or not at all? not at all. is would be at all? not at all. is would be o gooe— at all? not at all. is would be o pooo otvtse— at all? not at all. is would be a good advice. _ at all? not at all. is would be a good advice. of— 7 not at all. is would be a good advice. o” ti.tit. 7 not at all. is would be a good advice. tijit�*" ti.tit. a good advice. of course, we take care and precautions. of course we do . must but by course we do. we must do. but by and large . oh. oh. we've lost

and large. oh. oh. we've lost htrh— and large. oh. oh. we've lost htrh there. — it“ti tiitgti; oh. oh. we've lost him there. and large. oh. oh. we've lost him there. unfortunately. we'll go. we'll get dr. brownite back up. don't worry about that. we will. but it's important to say as well that where this study has come from and it's scientists at the european society of clinical microbiology and diseases, so it's and infectious diseases, so it's and infectious diseases, so it's a study for anyone who's a proper study for anyone who's out thinking that it's out there thinking that it's absolutely not. new absolutely not. and the new outbreaks across the continent over the last 12 months have been mostly linked incoming been mostly linked to incoming migrants. it's a europe wide migrants. so it's a europe wide study. and they are seeing study. and what they are seeing is is rising is that this is rising throughout the continent and specifically in britain. now, we've had 70 odd cases, 73 cases, they have all been cases, and they have all been unked cases, and they have all been linked to. so in 97% of them have been linked to young afghan men coming across the channel. how do feel about all of how do you feel about all of this? ladies and gents? i believe that can go back believe kyiv that i can go back to bharat pankhania now. to dr. bharat pankhania now. there we go. sorry we lost you for second. so you were saying for a second. so you were saying people shouldn't be worried at for a second. so you were saying pecaboutiouldn't be worried at for a second. so you were saying pec about thisin't be worried at for a second. so you were saying pecabout this because )rried at for a second. so you were saying pec about this because )rried of all about this because most of us have been vaccinated. us will have been vaccinated. most have a very good most of we have a very good childhood immunisation programme. furthermore, is programme. furthermore, this is the-our— programme. furthermore, this is the-our national- the beauty of our national heotth— the beauty of our national health service,— the beauty of our national health service, which is we are

channel loads more between now and 4:00, but we're taking you straight back live to paris, where we were a little bit earlier on. protesters there in the street yet again. and there have been violent clashes between them and

riot police , although it does riot police, although it does look a little bit more sedate now, it's fair to say. but yeah, thousands of people out in the street. and we could earlier on see hundreds of police officers as well. this protest is moving through people through the street and people are by the way, and are correct, by the way, and emailing gb views at emailing in to me, gb views at gbnews.uk and reminding me that it is not just about pension reforms, taking place at the moment. macron of course, wants to raise the pension age from 62 to raise the pension age from 62 to 64 and wants to do so. really without it going through parliament or anything like that. so that's what people are angry initially. there angry about initially. but there is protests just generally is also protests just generally about french political about the french political system and its globalist nature as well. and all of these protests have been kind of wrapped up into one. so, yes, a lot going on. and as we can see there, a rather interesting image macron kissing macron image of macron kissing macron and that's a good point, i think, for come away from think, for us to come away from paris. we've got exclusive paris. so we've got an exclusive report very shortly. yes. on why sarkozy starmer is facing a backlash from within his own party and later in the show,

sussex spokesperson, put out a pretty similar statement actually saying that prince harry will be attending the coronation. the duchess of sussex will attending the sussex will not be attending the coronation, which suggests to me some level of cooperation and coordination between the two camps. after literally months of turbulence. and i think the mail described it as transatlantic ping described it as transatlantic ping pong in terms of the negotiations, delicate negotiations, delicate negotiations as to whether or not harry or meghan would indeed attend the coronation . we now attend the coronation. we now know, of course, that he is going to. but now, of course, there's all this speculation about the potential reconciliation between king charles and, of course, his brother, prince william, as well. i think both are slightly unlikely, maybe more likely with the king but prince harry, as we understand it, is only having a very fleeting visit to here the united kingdom for the coronation. he will attend the service behind me in westminster abbey, not going to abbey, but he's not going to be part a ceremonial procession, part of a ceremonial procession, as understand it. as we understand it. he's i doubt much he will appear doubt very much he will appear on the balcony for the fly—past

following it, following the service , because we service as well, because we understand that's understand that that's only going working members of going to be working members of the family so he'll fly the royal family so he'll fly straight back to california to spend prince archie, spend time with prince archie, which of course, his which is, of course, his birthday . but which is, of course, his birthday. but although which is, of course, his birthday . but although prince birthday. but although prince william prince harry are in william and prince harry are in the same room, i doubt there's going reconciliation going to be much reconciliation in front a tv audience of, in front of a tv audience of, you hundreds of 100 you know, hundreds of 100 million people, as is predicted . but because all of this has clearly been put out there, it's just added fuel to the fire, hasn't it, in terms of this sussex soap opera that we've got going on? but i think by putting out the statements three weeks before the big event itself, of course, one of the most important of the king's important events of the king's life, think buckingham palace life, i think buckingham palace is spotlight is hoping that the spotlight will firmly back the king will be firmly back on the king and consort come the 6th and queen consort come the 6th of absolutely cameron, of may. absolutely cameron, thank of may. absolutely cameron, hook you— of may. absolutely cameron, hook you very— of may. absolutely cameron, thank you very much.- cameron, thank you very much. cameron warp..— thank you very much. cameron hotter-horn — thank you very much. cameron walker, from outside walker, there from outside westminster— walker, there from outside westminster the westminster abbey, where the osttoh—ptosel westminster abbey, where the action _ place in l action will be taking place in ohout—ttrhe- action will be taking place in about—time. the about three weeks time. now, the hoov— about three weeks time. now, the thhox hos— about three weeks time. now, the inbox has been— about three weeks time. now, the inbox has been buzzing around thts— inbox has been buzzing around thts sh— inbox has been buzzing around thts sh-ot— inbox has been buzzing around thts sh-ot sh— inbox has been buzzing around this gb at gb news .uk. this gb views at gb news .uk. rohet— this gb views at gb news .uk. tohet-ohe— this gb views at gb news .uk. janet-one word- this gb views at gb news .uk. janet one word comes to janet says one word comes to shot— janet says one word comes to rhtho-tteohoh- janet says one word comes to mind meghan along with 1

mostly from great britain. they were soldiers, many of them, who had served in world war i. and even to this day, had sewed in world war i. and even to this day, irish- even to this day, irish republicans- even to this day, irish republicans have songs about the ninet— republicans have songs about the nieen eni— republicans have songs about the black and tans. _ republicans have songs about the black and tans. so— republicans have songs about the black and tans. : black and tans. so why would a president be thinking about the black and tans when he's actually should be thinking about the all blacks? i mean, i think it goes to his mindset in relation to what happened in ireland. yeah i'm inclined to agree with you. do you think wiene— agree with you. do you think anene ,— agree with you. do you think aiiene , inni— agree with you. do you think arlene , that there- agiziz do you think arlene , that there might be arlene, that there might be a te— arlene, that there might be a case to suggest— arlene, that there might be a case to suggest that the people of case to suggest that the people ei tne — case to suggest that the people of the republic— case to suggest that the people of the republic of— case to suggest that the people of the republic of ireland are eeiweiw— of the republic of ireland are actually being— of the republic of ireland are actually being shamelessly used by ineeiient— actually being shamelessly used by president joe— actually being shamelessly used by president joe biden here, who i by president joe biden here, who i en— by president joe biden here, who i an nei— by president joe biden here, who i am not convinced— by president joe biden here, who i am not convinced is absolutely as i am not convinced is absolutely ee eiwei— i am not convinced is absolutely ee eiwei we— i am not convinced is absolutely ee eiwei we we— i am not convinced is absolutely as clued up as he— i am not convinced is absolutely as clued up as he might like to eewni— as clued up as he might like to eewni iine— as clued up as he might like to sound like he— as clued up as he might like to sound like he is— as clued up as he might like to sound like he is on— as clued up as he might like to sound like he is on the hotbed of sound like he is on the hotbed ei ieewee— sound like he is on the hotbed of issues and— sound like he is on the hotbed of issues and the— sound like he is on the hotbed of issues and the real proper nietew— of issues and the real proper nieiew ef— of issues and the real proper history of the— of issues and the real proper history of the island of weieni. — history of the island of ireland. maybe they are just being— ireland. maybe they are just being ween— ireland. maybe they are just being used as— ireland. maybe they are just being used as a— ireland. maybe they are just being used as a cheap vote winning— being used as a cheap vote winning scheme— being used as a cheap vote winning scheme back over in the united— winning scheme back over in the united states. _ winning scheme back over in the united states. i— winning scheme back over in the united states. i don't know. wnet— united states. i don't know. wnei ie— united states. i don't know. wnei ie yew— united states. i don't know. what do you think? venice what do you think? well, look, i

these comments and that was just what i was reflecting on. and then of course, he's made the comments about the black and tans since he's arrived here on the island of ireland, and he made those just last night. yeah, absolutely. look, arlene, inani— yeah, absolutely. look, arlene, tnenw yew— yeah, absolutely. look, arlene, tnenw you very— yeah, absolutely. look, arlene, thank you very much.- “415i?" c�*ieg look, arlene, thank you very much. absolute nieeewe— thank you very much. absolute nieeewe .— thank you very much. absolute pleasure . arlene— thank you very much. absolute pleasure . arlene foster there pleasure. arlene foster there wne— pleasure. arlene foster there wne ie— pleasure. arlene foster there wne ie ine— pleasure. arlene foster there who is the former first minister of who is the former first minister ei wennein— who is the former first minister of northern ireland, ana gb wewe— of northern ireland, ana gb news, presenter— of northern ireland, ana gb news, presenter as well. now, joe nieen— news, presenter as well. now, joe biden produced one of his trademark— joe biden produced one of his trademark gaffes. was trademark gaffes. arlene was referring— trademark gaffes. arlene was referring-in— trademark gaffes. arlene was referring . it. and - trademark gaffes. arlene was referring it. and very referring to it. and very iwewiiw— referring to it. and very iwewiiw we— referring to it. and very luckily, we actually have luckily, we do actually have a win— luckily, we do actually have a eiinlit— luckily, we do actually have a eiinlit fei— luckily, we do actually have a clip-it for-he- luckily, we do actually have a clip-it for- he was- clip of it for you. he was twining— clip of it for you. he was talking-the- clip of it for you. he was talking the irish rugby talking about the irish rugby wnien—win- talking about the irish rugby wnien—win el talking about the irish rugby. union _win a few union teams famous win a few wewe— union teams famous win a few wewe-wew— union teams famous win a few years new zealand who years ago over new zealand who are years ago over new zealand who eie—eu— years ago over new zealand who eie—nu knew,- years ago over new zealand who are—all know, as. years ago over new zealand whoi are—all know, as the are known as we all know, as the all are known as we all know, as the aii ninete— are known as we all know, as the all blacks. however,— are known as we all know, as the all blacks. however, he managed to all blacks. however, he managed te eeii— all blacks. however, he managed te eeii inen— all blacks. however, he managed to call them .black- all blacks. however, he managed to call them black and tans to call them the black and tans _we ine— to call them the black and tans ,-was the nickname- to call them the black and tans , was the nickname of the , which was the nickname of the inten— , which was the nickname of the nniien-wne — , which was the nickname of the british-who fought- british soldiers who fought wien— british soldiers who fought wen—ever- british soldiers who fought- irish _over-years irish rebels just over 100 years eee. — irish rebels just over 100 years eee. _wi— irish rebels just over 100 years eee. _wie . - irish rebels just over 100 years eee. _wie . see- irish rebels just over 100 years ago.-clip . see thisl irish rebels just over 100 years. ago.-clip . see this tie ago. play the clip. see this tie i ago. play the clip. see this tie i newe— ago. play the clip. see this tie i have with the shamrock on it? this was given to me by one of these guys right here. there was a hell of a rugby player and he beat the hell of a black and tans. oh, god , it's a hard tans. oh, god, it's a hard watch, isn't it? it's a hard

strikes as a particular concern of possible controversy that on the same week that she is criticising suella braverman in her view for race rhetoric that could inspire a violent backlash. we have her also introduced an event where someone is accusing jews of running american politics murky , disgusting albie seems to be an odd way to go about things . an odd way to go about things. if she is going to take the meni— if she is going to take the neiei high— if she is going to take the moral high ground about. well innniw— moral high ground about. well innniw teete— moral high ground about. well frankly, facts in— moral high ground about. well frankly, facts in relation to nniien— frankly, facts in relation to british pakistani grooming gangs and ne— british pakistani grooming gangs and its important, again to eieee— and its important, again to eieee wet— and its important, again to stress that suella braverman. i wen-i— stress that suella braverman. i went ininw— stress that suella braverman. i don't think many— stress that suella braverman. i don't think many people really twine— don't think many people really twine te— don't think many people really were trying to suggest that were— were trying to suggest that tneie ten-t— were trying to suggest that there isn't child sexual exploitation— there isn't child sexual exploitation taking place by the wnite— exploitation taking place by the white demographic of great entwin— white demographic of great britain .— white demographic of great britain . people— white demographic of great britain . people were very quick britain. people were very quick to britain. people were very quick te neint— britain. people were very quick te eeint ewt— britain. people were very quick to point out that— britain. people were very quick to point out that the vast net-entw— to point out that the vast netentw et— to point out that the vast majority of perpetrators of entit— majority of perpetrators of child sexual— majority of perpetrators of child sexual abuse are indeed wnite— child sexual abuse are indeed wnite. ineee— child sexual abuse are indeed white. those are— child sexual abuse are indeed white. those are also facts. but tneie— white. those are also facts. but tneie we— white. those are also facts. but there are concerns— white. those are also facts. but there are concerns when you look at nieeee— there are concerns when you look at eteeee tite— there are concerns when you look at places like rotherham, iteenteie— at places like rotherham, rochdale, telford, we could go on rochdale, telford, we could go en wneie— rochdale, telford, we could go en wneie tne— rochdale, telford, we could go on where the perpetrators of the greening — on where the perpetrators of the greening gang— on where the perpetrators of the grooming gang incident have been of grooming gang incident have been et nritien— grooming gang incident have been of british pakistani— grooming gang incident have been of british pakistani descent and

labour seems to be happy to simply comment on the general macroeconomic environment, which, while we've avoided recession , is pretty lacklustre. recession, is pretty lacklustre. just this morning. patrick, i've got the numbers here. the office for national statistics brought out the gdp figures for february, and as gordon brown once said , there was 0% growth. once said, there was 0% growth. i mean, so gdp basically stayed where it was during february. the service sector was down. that was largely because of strikes by teachers and other parts of the public sector. construction did pretty well, up 2.4% because there was decent weather in february. and you see their production down 0.2% that is the part that includes manufacturing . and if manufacturing. and if manufacturing. and if manufacturing can't really get going and escape from this sort of sluggish recovery that we're part of and get motoring, then the economy more broadly is going to stay lacklustre . how going to stay lacklustre. how much of an impact on- gist “g how much of an impact on growth did the much of an impact on growth did tne etrite— much of an impact on growth did the strike action— much of an impact on growth did the strike action have? has it nette— the strike action have? has it nete — the strike action have? has it int? i— the strike action have? has it had? i think— the strike action have? has it had? i think it's— the strike action have? has it had? i think it's had- the strike action have? has it had? “at:

had? i think it's had a major impact on growth. i'll tell you what else has had an impact on growth. the fact that the nhs waiting list is 7 million strong are of course a lot of those will be. unfortunately older people aren't of working people who aren't of working age. but increasingly there are people age who are people of working age who are signed off sick, whether it's sickness related to covid 19 or other treatments that they didn't have during lockdown because the nhs became overwhelmingly a covid only service. i think what's also weighing down growth and business sentiment, patrick, without which the economy really can't get motoring, is that rising corporation tax. i don't think that's gone down very well . and also another part of jeremy hunt's budget a few weeks ago that wasn't really commented on very much, though we did talk about it. here was the fact that from the beginning of april, businesses aren't getting help with their energy bills and it's managed facturers it's pubs and hospitality . motty their energy hospitality. motty their energy bills can be ten, 15, 20, 30% of their entire cost base. and those energy bills are still sky

high. so when you weigh it up in that sense that corporation tax, etcetera is going to be crippling people, their energy bills is going crippling bills is going to be crippling people. government be people. could the government be teing— people. could the government be doing—different- people. could the government be doing—differentlarel doing something different or are tneir— doing something different or are tneir-tiet— doing something different or are their-tied.virtue- doing something different or are their-tied.virtue of- their hands tied by virtue of we— their hands tied by virtue of the financial— their hands tied by virtue of the financial situation we're in rignt— the financial situation we're in rignt new— the financial situation we're in rignt ie— the financial situation we're in right now? is there another etwiewe— right now? is there another obvious-staring. right now? is there another obvious-staring in obvious solution staring them in the obvious solution staring them in tne—tne— obvious solution staring them in the the government the face? well, the government wewit—it— the face? well, the government would—it will- the face? well, the government would _ it will not - would argue that it will not inetenent— would argue that it will not implement any— would argue that it will not implement any tax cuts until it teete— implement any tax cuts until it teeie tne— implement any tax cuts until it feels the public— implement any tax cuts until it feels the public finances are on a feels the public finances are on e nwen— feels the public finances are on a much firmer— feels the public finances are on a much firmer footing .

behaviour. but the likes of the treasury, the obr , they don't do treasury, the obr, they don't do what we call dynamic force forecasting, looking at how a tax change may change behaviour. they just think the tax generates this much at the moment. if we put it up by this amount then we'll get that amount then we'll get that amount more. well that's not how the world works. people change their behaviour when they're faced different taxation faced with different taxation situations. absolutely lovely ent— situations. absolutely lovely ene-yew— situations. absolutely lovely ene-yew wen— situations. absolutely lovely and-you very much. situations. absolutely lovely- and-you very much-ever. and thank you very much as ever. iien— and thank you very much as ever. iien neiiigen— and thank you very much as ever. liam halligan economics and liam halligan our economics and tweineee— liam halligan our economics and business-watching- business editor, watching you tnrewgn— through a load of stuff there. aetweiw— through a load of stuff there. actually-utter- through a load of stuff there. actually utter gold as actually all of it utter gold as eiwewe— actually all of it utter gold as alwavsr rignt?— actually all of it utter gold as always, right? there's loads more now between now and 5 pm. we-we— more now between now and 5 pm. we-we get— more now between now and 5 pm. we-we get en— more now between now and 5 pm. we've got an exclusive report on why— we've got an exclusive report on wnw sir— we've got an exclusive report on wnw sir tetr— we've got an exclusive report on why sir keir starmer is facing teetieen— why sir keir starmer is facing backlash—ownj backlash from within his own partv- _ backlash from within his own eenw. i— backlash from within his own eenw. i rneen— backlash from within his own eenw. i it— backlash from within his own party. i mean, it is a magnificent- party. i mean, it is a magnificent story in the sense of magnificent story in the sense et iwet— magnificent story in the sense of just watching— magnificent story in the sense of just watching a diversity group— of just watching a diversity grewe eet— of just watching a diversity group eat itself alive . but group eat itself alive. but tnere— group eat itself alive. but tnere we— group eat itself alive. but tnere we ge. — group eat itself alive. but there we go. and there's the eterw— there we go. and there's the eterw et— there we go. and there's the eterw et tne — there we go. and there's the story of the _thatl there we go. and there's the- story of the _that signed story of the company that signed upla— story of the company that signed wele trene— story of the company that signed up a trans influencer and up to a trans influencer and tnen— up to a trans influencer and tnen eew— up to a trans influencer and tnen e— up to a trans influencer and then saw a $6— up to a trans influencer and then saw a $6 billion wiped off his then saw a $6 billion wiped off nie wewei — then saw a $6 billion wiped off his value. there— then saw a $6 billion wiped off his value. there we go. i've got teete— his value. there we go. i've got teete ere— his value. there we go. i've got loads more. i'm— his value. there we go. i've got loads more. i'm going to be teiting— loads more. i'm going to be talking about— loads more. i'm going to be talking about joe biden in retenti— talking about joe biden in ireland. yes.— talking about joe biden in ireland. yes. i'm also going to

next okay. welcome back, everybody. it's the third day of the junior doctors strike. and as far as we know , no one of its union know, no one of its union leaders is still on holiday. and if you are watching on gb news dr. robert laurenson is the one on the of your screen on the left of your screen there. he's currently on annual leave and is therefore not striking alongside his fellow junior doctors who will end up significantly out of pocket. prime rishi sunak has prime minister rishi sunak has said that he was surprised to hear dr. laurenson was on hear that dr. laurenson was on holiday. i am joined now by the former assistant general secretary of the rmt union. it's steve hadley. steve, you steve hadley. steve, thank you very before we get very much. look, before we get cracking, in advance, cracking, apologies in advance, if have this short to if i have to cut this short to go take joe live, i'm go to take joe biden live, i'm not rude. i just something not being rude. i just something we to i'm afraid. but we have to do, i'm afraid. but on this note, how do you feel? how do you feel about the idea that a union leader in this sense , anyway, the junior sense, anyway, the junior doctors union leader, would allow himself to be in a

situation where for renter, gods like me can criticise him for not being in country whilst not being in the country whilst millions patients potentially millions of patients potentially suffer. well, millions of patients potentially suffer . well, first of all, he's suffer. well, first of all, he's net— suffer. well, first of all, he's net e— suffer. well, first of all, he's net e wnien— suffer. well, first of all, he's not a union leader.- suffer. well, first of all, he's not a union leader. - well, first of all, he's not a union leader. a1: not a union leader. he's a the ee—eteir— not a union leader. he's a the co—chair of a committee that's negotiating on a co—chair of the junior doctors committee, which means there's another chair and the reality is that the government have refused to dodi acas. they've refused to enter negotiations so that this person is out of the country. it doesn't matter one or the doesn't matter one way or the other the government are other because the government are refusing go negotiations. refusing to go to negotiations. the bma have said that they'll go without go to acas without any preconditions . the government preconditions. the government are refusing to go . and so the are refusing to go. and so the fact that the person is on houdayis fact that the person is on holiday is neither here or there. it's an attempt to pivot . it's an attempt to actually play the man and not the ball . play the man and not the ball. the real problem is that we've got vacancies. we've put got 9000 vacancies. we've put junior doctors in the nhs because their wages just haven't kept pace with inflation since 19 sorry, since 2008, they've had about a 25% pay cut in real

irish parliament building now. let's it . i let's go let's take it. i believe he's there . and just believe he's there. and just a second. we'll see. joe biden . second. we'll see. joe biden. oh, there we go. he's walking into the irish parliament building now. so there we go. he's going to be greeting both houses and doing a joint address to them. walking up the to them. he's walking up the stairs and this of course, stairs and this is, of course, on his historic visit to ireland. and it is actually genuinely well. that genuinely historic as well. that world out rather world gets wheeled out rather a lot, it? is lot, doesn't it? but it is because he's the first us president to be doing a speech at the joint houses since jfk , at the joint houses since jfk, and it is a remarkable thing, really . he's been pressing the really. he's been pressing the flesh, hasn't he? he's been out and about quite a lot today. he met leo varadkar. it's also notable that this address, which we're going to see at some point was due to take place at around 3:45. we are now approaching 5:45. and one of the reasons behind that, frankly, is because really joe biden has apparently anyway been enjoying himself a bit too much. he's been pressing the flesh, he's been meeting people out meeting people and he's been out meeting leo as i've said, and

leo varadkar, as i've said, and chatting away to people. one thing that i will say is interesting is that there were all of the various different representatives from northern ireland invited to meet joe biden. now, as we see him about to enter the parliament building proper, the chamber in the irish parliament. but only jeffrey donaldson, sir jeffrey donaldson, sir jeffrey donaldson, the dup leader, has declined an invitation to this address. and of course , the dup address. and of course, the dup are blocking the power sharing at stormont at the moment over the windsor framework and joe biden has been very, very strong on this. saying that he on this. he's saying that he wants people to back at wants the people to get back at it and i said, i'm just going to stop talking and listen to this applause as joe biden walks in now . oh, i believe we can't now. oh, i believe we can't listen to the applause. esther and phil . and phil. okay so joe biden is walking

sajid javid lord dannatt rapturous applause, standing ovation, as would imagine. ovation, as one would imagine. and he's going to take to the podium and his incredibly podium and give his incredibly long awaited speech, not just by the people of ireland, but also newsreaders everywhere who have been waiting for this now for two and senior people two hours and senior people there greeting him . and i think there greeting him. and i think it's fair to say that what he's going to talk about a lot is his irish roots . going to talk about a lot is his irish roots. he's been going to talk about a lot is his irish roots . he's been talking irish roots. he's been talking about his irish roots almost non—stop since his trip there to ireland began. and he is approaching the podium now in dubun approaching the podium now in dublin at the irish parliament. he's and it's interesting as well, because in that building as well, one of the key rooms was used as the model for the oval office. we might feel doubly at home because he is in his place of his ancestral history. course, as well history. and of course, as well in a place that was helped model the actual white house. joe biden sitting now in the irish parliament building . i'm going
