here. in 1991, two thirds of 25 to 34 year olds owned their own place, two thirds by 2016, it was less than 40. it was 38. it's now less than 30. we've got 2/5 of 21 to 30 year olds living with their parents. now what does that mean? it means that when people don't have a secure home to either rent or preferably to buy, they don't want to have kids. preferably to buy, they don't want to have kids . and this is a want to have kids. and this is a major factor for why our demography is being undermined with people not having as many children as they did. yes, of course, a lot of women in particular are leaving it later to have a family. but in some senses that's because it's almost impossible to buy a home in most parts the country in most parts of the country unless both earning lots unless you're both earning lots of money. for me , housing is of money. so for me, housing is the everything problem . yeah, if the everything problem. yeah, if you want to understand knife crime, lot of it for me crime, it's a lot of it for me is bad housing. if you want to understand broken families, a lot of it is bad housing. if you

3:29 pm
strongest area, it has to be said. so it would be r steve strongest area, it has to be said. so it would be asteve strongest area, it has to be said. so it would be a good idea decided it would be a good idea to give me an on air maths challenge. now, i promise you that i've not seen these questions. i genuinely haven't, although wouldn't a although it wouldn't make a blind anyway. blind bit of difference anyway. so here goes. question one so here it goes. question one and answer these. what is and please answer these. what is the surface area of the cube shown? oh okay. all right. so the diagram shows a cube with one side length as two centimetres. so do i. not times . two by. oh, right. this do i. not times two by four. and then . no. is that not. is that not it. is that it's not right. so i'm going to go eight six. so kyiv has six faces so the surface area of the whole cube is six times four, which is 24cm2. right. okay let's move on. question two j me, i 24cm2. right. okay let's move on. question twoj me, i used 24cm2. right. okay let's move on. question two j me, i used to on. question twoj me, i used to hate these ones. jamie goes on houday hate these ones. jamie goes on holiday so florida, the exchange rate is £1 to $1.70. he changes £900 into dollars. how many dollars does he get? well, i
3:30 pm
mean, look, i've got a calculator in front of me right now, but would imagine would now, but i would imagine would i not just do 900 times 1.7 and then that would that would . no. then that would that would. no. and then that gives me the exchange rate. i'm desperately looking over at our newsreader , looking over at our newsreader, arron he's not arron armstrong here. he's not allowed me. the allowed to talk to me. so the answer so , so the answer is answer so, so the answer is 1000. yeah. 1530. yeah. so multiply $1.70 by 900. i was right . i was multiply $1.70 by 900. i was right. i was right. multiply $1.70 by 900. i was right . i was right. there you right. i was right. there you go. see, i could have done that. okay right. all right. so so 3600 will be the summer's 3000 plus 600. i don't even know what that's all about. all right, so. okay, so i've got to admit, i've got to i'm not the got to admit, i'm not the brightest in the maths box brightest spark in the maths box when comes numbers. when it comes to those numbers. but what about you? i want to see this one at see if you can solve this one at home. right. hannah deposits £800 into a bank, which . pays £800 into a bank, which. pays 4.5% simple interest. a year. work out what interest the bank pays over three years. i'll give you that one more time. hannah deposits £800 into a bank, which
3:31 pm

that as far as i can tell, based on the labour mps and shadow ministers that i have interviewed on this programme, they want the non—dom tax status to pay for the nhs , massive to pay for the nhs, massive parts of the education system and huge energy subsidies. so the non—dom tax status here, which equates to around £3 billion a year, is doing a lot of heavy lifting here when it comes to labour's plan to pay for everything. but thought i'd make that clear. meanwhile, the rcn secretary has said rcn general secretary has said that the nursing strikes could continue christmas continue up to christmas unless the government returns with a credible pay offer after rejecting the last offering on friday. responding to an urgent question on the strikes earlier today, steve today, health secretary steve barclay said regrettable barclay said it was regrettable that bma junior doctors that the bma junior doctors committee period committee chose the period immediately after easter to cause maximum disruption, extending their strike to 96 hours and asking their members not to inform hospitals whether they intended to go on strike, which may contingency planning more difficult . and when we look more difficult. and when we look at what happened with the royal college of nursing, unison that day, day voted in
4:25 pm
day, that very day voted in favour of accepting a pay deal, 5% plus financial compensation 5% plus a financial compensation offer, cash deal in a way from the year before. so they voted in favour of that. that included ambulance , paramedics, ambulance drivers, paramedics, etcetera. 51% sorry, 54% of a 61% turnout for the royal college of nursing voted in favour of more strike action. so they are in very much a minority. when you look at the nursing body as a whole. okay they are saying there's more strike they're going to strike action. they're going to coordinate junior coordinate that with junior doctors. with me now is dr. lawrence gerlis, a gp at lawrence gerlis, who is a gp at same dr. look, labour is same day, dr. look, labour is saying they're going to invest more in getting more gps . the more in getting more gps. the tories are saying we're going to give a bit more money. give you a bit more money. that's where we are now, isn't all just sticking that's where we are now, isn't all politics sticking that's where we are now, isn't all politics stuff?g that's where we are now, isn't all politics stuff? and what that's where we are now, isn't all needrolitics stuff? and what that's where we are now, isn't all need isitics stuff? and what that's where we are now, isn't all need is a:s stuff? and what that's where we are now, isn't all need is a radical? and what that's where we are now, isn't all need is a radical reformation we need is a radical reformation of our health system and the of our health system and is the answer the face in answer staring us in the face in australia? well, yes, we need a roohooh— australia? well, yes, we need a radical reform.— australia? well, yes, we need a radical reform. i— australia? well, yes, we need a radical reform. i can't- ?7 well, yes, we need a radical reform. i can't see it honnonhng— radical reform. i can't see it honnonhng ,— radical reform. i can't see it honnonhng , fo— radical reform. i can't see it happening , to be honest, happening, to be honest, fonhh— happening, to be honest, patrick, because there's so fhoro-e— patrick, because there's so fhoro-e eo— patrick, because there's so there's so much- patrick, because there's so there's so much opposition to any— there's so much opposition to on ohongo— there's so much opposition to any change within the health eorvhoo. — any change within the health eorvhoo. rf—

actual maths are wrong actual maths teacher are wrong about we're going about this one, but we're going to we're to move on from that. now we're going move on from that now to move on from that. now we're goinwe move on from that now to move on from that. now we're goinwe have'e on from that now to move on from that. now we're goinwe have goti from that now to move on from that. now we're goinwe have got atrom that now to move on from that. now we're goinwe have got a way that now to move on from that. now we're goinwe have got a way .hat now to move on from that. now we're goinwe have got a way . we now to move on from that. now we're goinwe have got a way . we have and we have got a way. we have got another couple of questions, i have to we give to i believe. have to we give to people. let's i believe. have to we give to peo to 5. let's i believe. have to we give to peo to that let's i believe. have to we give to peo to that challenge. let's i believe. have to we give to peo to that challenge. my_et's get to that challenge. my producer, steve, decided to producer, steve, has decided to give show the world give me to show the world my mathematical tackled mathematical genius. i tackled a couple of questions in the first part the show. goes part of the show. here goes another couple. believe . is it another couple. i believe. is it is right? and this is this is that right? and this is this is that right? and this is this is first one i gave you is the first one i gave you earlier. so worked it out. earlier. so you worked it out. if equals three, two equals if one equals three, two equals three, three five. four three, three equals five. four equals four and five equals four. so then what? it is the answer. now, initially i thought it was two, but the answer is three. so follow the pattern. okay. one has three letters. two has three letters. three has five letters. and he gets a six, which of course has three letters. but i forgive me, i got lost in all of this because that's not really a maths question, is it? that's it's words and letters is this is just confusing for me . but let's just confusing for me. but let's have one more. okay. sally well done. by the way, for everyone who got this right. jan got
4:42 pm
who got this right. jan you got that right. got it that right. charlie got it right. got it right. in right. brian got it right. in fact, me fact, most people, apart from me got right. a fresh got that right. here's a fresh one. is 54 years old and one. sally is 54 years old and her mother 80. so sally is 54 her mother is 80. so sally is 54 years old and mother is 80. years old and her mother is 80. how ago was sally's how many years ago was sally's mother? three times her age . mother? three times her age. right. do i have to try and answer this now? grief. 54 year old mother is 80. i'm not going to do it. i'm not going to do it if anyone's got it. well done. 41 years ago, when sally was 13 and 39 because 39 and her mother was 39 because 39 divided by 13 is three, i am going to need to have a rather long lie down after this. but there go . there is some good there we go. there is some good news for opponents of smart motorways . the government says motorways. the government says that more of them will that no more of them will be built. a massive win for built. is a massive win for people been campaigning people who've been campaigning about this, lot about all of this, because a lot of people, and rightly so in my opinion, they an opinion, think that they are an absolute death—trap and patrick christys on and are christys on gb news. and we are britain's news .

4:56 pm
wrong. another big topic for wrong. but another big topic for us has on birth rates us has been on the birth rates and the next hour and i'm leading the next hour with apparently with it because apparently we are babies and are not having enough babies and this lead to this is going to lead to a shortage terms of shortage of people in terms of the race, but also bad for the human race, but also bad for our economy. we are having fewer children men and women children as more men and women remain single, says stephen. ray says . people says is very simple. people can't to live unless both can't afford to live unless both partners work. so the idea there that women will be going to work and not maybe fulfilling the traditional at traditional role of staying at home, dads do it.7 i home, why can't dads do it.7 i know, know. lower the tax know, i know. lower the tax burden, say. samantha says, burden, they say. samantha says, i wish you wouldn't bring this to all that to people's attention. all that will is it encourage will happen is it will encourage people have kids people who shouldn't have kids to responsible parents to have them responsible parents breed the kids they can afford . breed the kids they can afford. irresponsible parents just breed. that is from samantha . breed. that is from samantha. thank you very, very much for that, samantha. the idea, of course, that people will now be watching me on the telly and decide what decide that because of what i say, to go and say, they now need to go and procreate, think is quite procreate, i think is quite a disturbing world, isn't it.7 but loads more on this when we come back. christys and back. i am patrick christys and this is gb news. the people

then you could argue, of course, that it's bad for humanity. it's certainly bad for the economy, though, isn't it, as well, if we're breeding enough people we're not breeding enough people ? make of all of ? what do you make of all of that? up, on more on that? coming up, more on more on that? coming up, more on more on that ambition of the prime that maths ambition of the prime minister the uk? and minister set out for the uk? and don't there will be more don't worry, there will be more brain teasers you. the pm brain teasers for you. the pm wants to do maths, wants to us do more maths, right? wants to do more right? he wants us to do more maths i've been sending maths and i've been sending you some problems. of them some maths problems. one of them has absolute outrage in has caused absolute outrage in the you're all the inbox because you're all telling that wrong. telling me that we're wrong. i've another expert on i've got another maths expert on we're clear this up. we're going to clear this up. i for desperate to know fori a.m. desperate to know what earth hannah's interest what on earth hannah's interest rate know, know. i'm rate is. i know, i know. i'm patrick christys on gb news britain's mathematical news .

okay, welcome back, everybody. now let's get to the migrant crisis, shall we? because we have hit a landmark today. we've hit a landmark today, gb news can reveal that more than 5000 people have now crossed the channel on small boats. so far this year. so there we go. viewers will be able to see some of the migrants who arrived in dover this very morning. there they around 120 people
5:23 pm
they are around 120 people crossed alone. crossed the channel today alone. and home office figures and official home office figures show that 37 people arrived on one boat yesterday. they last year was a record year, a record number of 45,756 migrants crossed the channel. but sources have told gb news that the home office officials are planning for the possibility of double that number arriving this year. so up to the old 90,000 mark, clearly nothing is working as a deterrent. ipsis and rishi sunak plan to stop the boats. that was the only bit of his five point plan that really had any jeopardy in it. i think, you know, people expected the hostile waiting times to be slashed. people expected maybe hostile waiting times to be slashrto people expected maybe hostile waiting times to be slashrto peayle expected maybe hostile waiting times to be slashrto pea bitexpected maybe hostile waiting times to be slashrto pea bit moreted maybe hostile waiting times to be slashrto pea bit more growthibe there to be a bit more growth and this in the and all of this stuff in the economy. think that was the economy. i think that was the one area, wasn't it, where everyone looked at and went, everyone looked at it and went, oh, can you. absolutely oh, can you can you. absolutely promise and promise that rishi and it looking he. looking like he can't can he. but there we go. anyway the news of investigation the of the investigation into the prime overshadowed prime minister has overshadowed his to study his call for pupils to study maths. you are just maths. and if you are just joining because the joining us, it's because the prime minister is being prime minister is now being referred parliamentary referred to the parliamentary watchdog referred to the parliamentary watchlwhether or declared

5:29 pm
century require. so for example , i teach politics in politics, you require the ability motty to understand data, understand elections, things like that. that's something we're actually practically it can help people understand things, history , for understand things, history, for example. you've got to understand sources. if you can't understand sources. if you can't understand the data that's in front of you, that's going to be really flawed. so that's what we put that's what we focus our efforts maths into efforts on post 16 maths into not not algebra and pythagoras . not not algebra and pythagoras. yeah. all right. fair enough. no.— yeah. all right. fair enough. be r— yeah. all right. fair enough. be r mmk— yeah. all right. fair enough. no, i think humanise it a little bit no, i think humanise it a little bb irke— no, i think humanise it a little bb krke you— no, i think humanise it a little bit like you said— no, i think humanise it a little bit like you said about, you know.— bit like you said about, you know, working— bit like you said about, you know, working out your angles of a bee— know, working out your angles of a free kick— know, working out your angles of amee krek or— know, working out your angles of a free kick or something like mar.— a free kick or something like mar-mark- a free kick or something like. that.-thank-very that. but look, thank you very mum.— that. but look, thank you very mueb—bavel that. but look, thank you very. mueb—bave you much, callum. great to have you on much, callum. great to have you om-ksubr— much, callum. great to have you om-ksubr bow.- much, callum. great to have you on-aslef now, i- on the show. aslef now, i was i ooma— on the show. aslef now, i was i going ro— on the show. aslef now, i was i going ro our— on the show. aslef now, i was i was going to put you to the test wim— was going to put you to the test wbb-aueerrom.- was going to put you to the test with-question,-you| with a maths question, but you rubr— with a maths question, but you rue—a— with a maths question, but you rum—a bourbo- just said you're a politics backer.— just said you're a politics teacher,-all- just said you're a politics teacher, all right, then. teacher, right? all right, then. rab— teacher, right? all right, then. rarr emouab— teacher, right? all right, then. fair enough. let's— teacher, right? all right, then. fair enough. let's a load fair enough. let's go get a load of fair enough. let's go get a load or me.— fair enough. let's go get a load of this. _ready?- fair enough. let's go get a load of this. ready? strap of this. are you ready? strap youreeb— of this. are you ready? strap yourself-callum. - of this. are you ready? strap yourself callum. all right. yourself in, callum. all right. rme— yourself in, callum. all right. rub-causew— this has caused mass controversy. - this has caused mass controversy. the this has caused mass- controversy. _the inbox. controversy. this in the inbox. mammab— controversy. this in the inbox. hannah deposits— controversy. this in the inbox. hannah deposits £800 into a bank.— hannah deposits £800 into a bank. which— hannah deposits £800 into a bank, which pays 4.5% simple mrereer—
