3:10 pm
starmer said today what she said was anti semitic. it took three questions for him to finally answer. abbott, of course, suggested that jewish, irish and traveller people are not subject to racism all their lives. abbott who was the first black woman elected as an mp back in the 1980s, has had the labour whip suspended over you is what diane abbott wrote yesterday. anti—semitic or not, in my view. what— anti—semitic or not, in my view. what eno— anti—semitic or not, in my view. what one odd— anti—semitic or not, in my view. what she said was— anti—semitic or not, in my view. what she said was to— anti—semitic or not, in my view. what she said was to be- what she said was to be condemned . it was anti—semitic , condemned. it was anti—semitic, andifs condemned. it was anti—semitic, and it's absolutely right that we acted as swiftly as we did . we acted as swiftly as we did. that's the change that you've seen in the labour party. but do i condemn what she said ? i i condemn what she said? i absolutely condemn what she said . do i want show the labour . do i want to show the labour party this seriously and party takes this seriously and acts quickly? yes i do. and acts very quickly? yes i do. and that's acted swiftly that's why we acted as swiftly as yesterday. so if you as we did yesterday. so if you say a zero tolerance say you've got a zero tolerance approach to all this approach to all of this and you've just said is you've just said it is anti—semitic, surely she cannot stand at stand as a labour candidate at the election? well, as you the next election? well, as you know, investigation the next election? well, as you know, on investigation the next election? well, as you know, on the investigation the next election? well, as you know, on the momentation the next election? well, as you know, on the moment .tion the next election? well, as you know, on the moment . there's going on at the moment. there's an investigation going on at the

3:12 pm
when she was, of course, elected as the first black black female male to parliament. now she's got a huge 33,000 majority here, but speaking to people both here and further south into hackney a little bit earlier , they were little bit earlier, they were none too impress . let's have none too impress. let's have a listen . oh, okay. so basically, listen. oh, okay. so basically, people all spoke to me often, didn't want to speak on camera, but jewish people, particularly though i have to say i didn't find anybody who thought the comments were appropriate . but comments were appropriate. but jewish people, particularly albie very, very unhappy. one lady said to me that her parents had escaped from outfits that she thought the days were gone, that jewish people could be made to feel like this. another woman said to me, you know, diane abbott needs to go to some holocaust museum as a reminder that 6,000,000 million jews,
3:13 pm

she semitic or not? in my view , she semitic or not? in my view, what she semitic or not? in my view, nnoo ene— she semitic or not? in my view, nnoo ene eodd— she semitic or not? in my view, what she said was— she semitic or not? in my view, what she said was to— she semitic or not? in my view, what she said was to be- what she said was to be condemned. - what she said was to be condemned. . what she said was to be- condemned. it was anti—semitic. it's absolutely right that we acted as swiftly as we did. that's the change that you've seen in the labour party. but do i condemn what she said? i absolutely condemn what she said . do i want to show the labour party takes seriously party takes this seriously and acts quickly ? yes, i do. acts very quickly? yes, i do. and why acted as and that's why we acted as swiftly did yesterday. so swiftly as we did yesterday. so if you say got a zero if you say you've got a zero tolerance approach to all of this you've just it is this and you've just said it is anti—semitic, surely cannot anti—semitic, surely she cannot stand candidate anti—semitic, surely she cannot starnext candidate anti—semitic, surely she cannot starnext election? candidate anti—semitic, surely she cannot starnext election? well,date anti—semitic, surely she cannot starnext election? well, ase anti—semitic, surely she cannot starnext election? well, as you the next election? well, as you know, an investigation know, there's an investigation going the moment. there's going on at the moment. there's an investigate action going on at moment. that's right at the moment. that's the right thing. the whip has been suspended . that was done very, suspended. that was done very, very swiftly and i have condemned what she said along with many other people . well, with many other people. well, keir , they're taking keir starmer, they're taking three attempts to finally call it anti—semitism . i'm joined now it anti—semitism. i'm joined now by it anti—semitism. i'm joined now dy oodnndne— it anti—semitism. i'm joined now by catherine forster,— it anti—semitism. i'm joined now by catherine forster, our- by catherine forster, our oodddod— by catherine forster, our political reporter, who joins us non— political reporter, who joins us from -abbott's- political reporter, who joins us from abbott's constituency from diane abbott's constituency of from diane abbott's constituency on- donn — from diane abbott's constituency on-nonn ond- from diane abbott's constituency of- north and stoke- of hackney, north and stoke dendnonon.— of hackney, north and stoke newington, and— of hackney, north and stoke newington, and catherine, you're

4:13 pm
that her parents had fled from auschwitz and she never thought she'd see the day that jews were made to feel like this again. another woman saying that diane abbott obviously needed a history lesson, needed to get herself down to some of the museums to learn about 6 million jews being murdered during the holocaust. so feelings are running very , very high, as you running very, very high, as you would expect . and for diane would expect. and for diane abbott, sure , she's apologised. abbott, sure, she's apologised. she came out very quickly to apologise, to say that it was initial draft to try to distance herself from the comments. but keir starmer, labour leader, has said there will be zero tolerance of anti semitism within the labour party and he has this lunchtime said that yes indeed he does classify these comments from diane abbott as being anti—semitic stick. so you know, she was the first female black mp to be elected. she was
4:14 pm
a trailblazer . she suffered a trailblazer. she suffered appalling racism throughout her life herself. and now she's embroiled in a huge row about racism and comments that she herself has made . well, herself has made. well, catherine , thank you so much for catherine, thank you so much for the very latest there. and particularly to note- onig sni;di; and particularly to note the very nddd— particularly to note the very high nnden— particularly to note the very high jewish population in this constituency. _ high jewish population in this constituency. it— high jewish population in this constituency. it makes it so nnon— constituency. it makes it so much more remarkable that that ndnd— much more remarkable that that ndnd on— much more remarkable that that kind of comment— much more remarkable that that kind of comment would have been node.— kind of comment would have been node. neond— kind of comment would have been node. onond yon— kind of comment would have been made. thank you so— kind of comment would have been made. thank you so much, oodnndne— made. thank you so much, catherine. well— made. thank you so much, catherine. well let's get more nnn— catherine. well let's get more nnn dn— catherine. well let's get more now with the journalist nicole donoen. — now with the journalist nicole donoen. and.— now with the journalist nicole lampert. and, nicole, thank you for lampert. and, nicole, thank you don nonnd— lampert. and, nicole, thank you don nonnd dn— lampert. and, nicole, thank you for making the time for us this onennoon— for making the time for us this onennoon .— for making the time for us this onennoon . d— for making the time for us this afternoon . i want— for making the time for us this afternoon . i want to stuck afternoon. i want to get stuck dnn— afternoon. i want to get stuck noo-nene— afternoon. i want to get stuck into-issue that- afternoon. i want to get stuck into issue that seems to be into this issue that seems to be nondd— into this issue that seems to be dnonodnlooodn— into this issue that seems to be brought-again and- into this issue that seems to be brought again and again and brought up again and again and odon— brought up again and again and again. particular— brought up again and again and again. particular to a part, a eeodon— again. particular to a part, a eeodon on— again. particular to a part, a section of the— again. particular to a part, a section of the labour party who no — section of the labour party who no deo— section of the labour party who seem to get stuck— section of the labour party who seem to get stuck into an idea of seem to get stuck into an idea on o— seem to get stuck into an idea on o ndenonony— seem to get stuck into an idea of a hierarchy dodi of racism dod— of a hierarchy dodi of racism odd — of a hierarchy dodi of racism that racism against black people is that racism against black people de deemed— that racism against black people de deenned no— that racism against black people is deemed to be— that racism against black people is deemed to be more or worse doon— is deemed to be more or worse non doon— is deemed to be more or worse than than racism _ is deemed to be more or worse than than racism against jewish oeoode— than than racism against jewish oeoode . — than than racism against jewish oeoode. nodd— than than racism against jewish oeoode. nodd. d— than than racism against jewish people . well, i think- than than racism against jewish people . indie.

so in terms of the hierarchy , so in terms of the hierarchy, you know, i just think that that whole idea feeds into anti—semitism within itself. and the idea that that jews are oonennd— and the idea that that jews are more powerful .— and the idea that that jews are more powerful . so racism against more powerful. so racism against us more powerful. so racism against ne de— more powerful. so racism against ne de nden— more powerful. so racism against ne de nden noe— more powerful. so racism against us is taken more seriously. the noeo— us is taken more seriously. the most remarkable— us is taken more seriously. the most remarkable thing about this eoony— most remarkable thing about this eoony no— most remarkable thing about this eoony no me— most remarkable thing about this story to me seems— most remarkable thing about this story to me seems to be that node— story to me seems to be that node oe— story to me seems to be that this was unprovoked .

united kingdom, particularly jewish people. why do you think she chose to respond to this piece ? i think it's partly piece? i think it's partly deoonee— piece? i think it's partly because of— ni;ni.ni;7’ i think it's partly because of what's been happening in because of what's been happening dn one— because of what's been happening dn one dodonn— because of what's been happening in the labour party.— because of what's been happening in the labour party. but i do dnnd— in the labour party. but i do dnnd dod— in the labour party. but i do think that these _ in the labour party. but i do think that these ideas are oondnd— think that these ideas are oondno non — think that these ideas are coming from america and they're oney-ne— coming from america and they're oney-n deoondno— coming from america and they're they're becoming more powerful and they're becoming more powerful ond oe— they're becoming more powerful ond oe dod— they're becoming more powerful and as that article— they're becoming more powerful and as that article said, and ne— and as that article said, and dde o— and as that article said, and it's a brilliant— and as that article said, and it's a brilliant article, nnendoo— it's a brilliant article, america has- it's a brilliant article, america has its own, you know, noe— america has its own, you know, doe dn— america has its own, you know, doe dn on— america has its own, you know, has its own history, which is ondn— has its own history, which is quite different— has its own history, which is quite different from european ndenony— quite different from european ndenony on— quite different from european history of slavery and institutional- history of slavery and institutional racism. and we do none— institutional racism. and we do have institutional— institutional racism. and we do have institutional racism in node— have institutional racism in node oonndy— have institutional racism in this country, but it presents in ddnenenn— this country, but it presents in ddnennn noy. — this country, but it presents in different way. and in europe , different way. and in europe, odndonedy— different way. and in europe, obviously. and,— different way. and in europe, obviously. and, you know, she dedddenondy— obviously. and, you know, she deliberately emitted this. condoned— deliberately emitted this. obviously, we _ deliberately emitted this. obviously, we have seen massive ododnen— obviously, we have seen massive racism against jewish people nnn— racism against jewish people nnn 6— racism against jewish people with 6 million— racism against jewish people with 6 million people in our oondnenn— with 6 million people in our continent within— with 6 million people in our continent within living memory dddded— continent within living memory ddded ednody— continent within living memory killed simply because of our edondony— killed simply because of our ethnicity, not— killed simply because of our ethnicity, not depend, doesn't ndnn— ethnicity, not depend, doesn't matter whether— ethnicity, not depend, doesn't matter whether we are a nddodone— matter whether we are a religious whether we were even nnden.— religious whether we were even nnden. non— religious whether we were even nnden. non ined— religious whether we were even jewish. you just had to have a bit jewish. you just had to have a on on— jewish. you just had to have a on on nnden— jewish. you just had to have a bit of jewish blood. and that non— bit of jewish blood. and that was how that— bit of jewish blood. and that was how that racism presented. so was how that racism presented. so d— was how that racism presented. so d dnnd— was how that racism presented.

4:19 pm
issues. now i must say that diane abbott has indeed apologised for her comments. she issued a statement yesterday saying that errors had arisen had arisen in her initial draft letter to the observer newspaper. and this is peculiar because, of course her letter said just one thing. it was a letter talking about how jewish people do not face the same racism as black people , or that racism as black people, or that you couldn't say that jewish people or irish people or face racism at all. they only face prejudice and only black people face racism . that was the whole face racism. that was the whole point of her letter. what on earth would an early draft be saying differently to something later? it quite clearly a an later? it was quite clearly a an invented excuse, and it got me thinking what are the worst excuses that you've ever heard after making a mistake ? well, after making a mistake? well, we've got some examples from some other politicians. just last year , of course, the tory last year, of course, the tory mp neil parish , he claimed he'd mp neil parish, he claimed he'd been looking up tractors on the internet and accidentally ended up watching in the house of
4:20 pm
commons. he resigned after that mistake back further in 2003. labour politician ron davies was revealed to have visited a gay cruising area. now he initially denied that he'd been there and then claimed when it was found that he was obviously had been at that location when he claimed he'd been watching badgers. well very, very peculiar stuff and i'm sure that there are many, many more examples of peculiar excuses. many more examples of peculiar excuses . these are frankly excuses. these are frankly invented excuses that you have. please do email in gb views at gbnews.uk is the address i'm keen to read out any of those examples in your life . i think examples in your life. i think the most famous one is probably a dog. ate my homework, but i'm sure we can get more creative than that. and of course we'll have more on this story throughout the show. but let's turn now to latest from turn now to the latest from sudan, because the government has accused of abandoning has been accused of abandoning up to 4000 british nationals who
4:21 pm
are thought to be trapped in the country. the fighting is continuing between rival factions sudan and crucially, factions in sudan and crucially, some suggestion has been made that the chinese are getting involved . but the faction is involved. but the faction is continuing and elite forces have evacuated british diplomats and their families who have now all been safely relocated . but let's been safely relocated. but let's look at what the sas has done elsewhere in its history. the other successful operations from this elite group of british armed forces is let's go to 1944 in france, where the sas , in one in france, where the sas, in one of their earliest operations , of their earliest operations, helped the french resistance . helped the french resistance. they collected information from the and passed it back to our intelligence services and they disrupted german control. successful operations there in the war. but jumping forward in time , let's go to 1980, one of time, let's go to 1980, one of the most famous joint operations of the sas in its history. it's
4:22 pm
called operation nimrod . and called operation nimrod. and that was when the sas broke in to the iranian embassy. they they crushed the iranian embassy siege. amazing video footage of them going in through the window. they rescued 19 hostages and killed five of the six hostage takers. jump ing forward to 1988. operation flavius , to 1988. operation flavius, where the sas targeted and eliminated ihra members in gibraltar. they'd been planning a bombing. they both took out the members of the ira and prevented the bombing . prevented the bombing. incredible stuff. and of course, my really remarkably named operation operation certain death. this is from 2000in sierra leone when the sas disrupted the revolution . three disrupted the revolution. three united front and rescue hostages again , these are elite troops again, these are elite troops and i think we shouldn't do down what they have done over the weekend, rescuing so many brits
4:23 pm
in such an elite operation . but in such an elite operation. but there's concern about not just those who worked in the consulate, in the embassy, not just the diplomats. what about the other brits stuck in the country? the chairman of the defence committee, tobias ellwood , certainly has some ellwood, certainly has some concerns. some ellwood, certainly has some concerns . some of the most elite concerns. some of the most elite onned— concerns. some of the most elite onned eonoee— concerns. some of the most elite onned nonoee dn— concerns. some of the most elite armed forces in the— if some of the most elite armed forces in the world with oenoodonee— armed forces in the world with aeroplanes that— armed forces in the world with aeroplanes that can land on node— aeroplanes that can land on noode yon— aeroplanes that can land on roads, you know,— aeroplanes that can land on roads, you know, on very simple donddnd— roads, you know, on very simple donddno ennoe— roads, you know, on very simple landing strips. we— roads, you know, on very simple landing strips. we have rotary eyedene— landing strips. we have rotary systems, helicopters , there's a systems, helicopters, there's a as.— systems, helicopters, there's a us. dondo— systems, helicopters, there's a us. donde us— systems, helicopters, there's a us, large us presence in dodonn— us, large us presence in djibouti not— us, large us presence in djibouti not far away. so allies are djibouti not far away. so allies dnn— djibouti not far away. so allies dnne oe— djibouti not far away. so allies are there as well. _ djibouti not far away. so allies are there as well. if we don't none— are there as well. if we don't none o— are there as well. if we don't none o odon— are there as well. if we don't have a plan put— are there as well. if we don't have a plan put together a nooonddon— have a plan put together a recognition of— have a plan put together a recognition of where and how the eooon— recognition of where and how the eooon need— recognition of where and how the eooon need no— recognition of where and how the expats need to get— recognition of where and how the expats need to get out, they nddd— expats need to get out, they nddd eoon— expats need to get out, they will start taking— expats need to get out, they will start taking things into dnn— will start taking things into dndn on— will start taking things into their own hands, determining onon— their own hands, determining odd dde— their own hands, determining odd dde ooo— their own hands, determining that it's too dangerous and try ond— that it's too dangerous and try ond node— that it's too dangerous and try and make their— that it's too dangerous and try and make their own way to the dondon— and make their own way to the donden ond— and make their own way to the border and that,— and make their own way to the border and that, of course, oondd— border and that, of course, oondd deod— border and that, of course, could lead to— border and that, of course, could lead to some some very dodonn— could lead to some some very ddndondn—n- could lead to some some very difficult—it is. difficult situations. so it is dnoononn— difficult situations. so it is important that— difficult situations. so it is important that we see clarity on non— important that we see clarity on non-dod— important that we see clarity on non-odd one — important that we see clarity on how that the diplomats are how now that the diplomats are outn— how now that the diplomats are on. non— how now that the diplomats are on. non doee— how now that the diplomats are out, how does everybody else get onn— out, how does everybody else get onnd—dn— out, how does everybody else get onnd—doe big- out? well, that's the big oneedon— out? well, that's the big oneedon . — out? well, that's the big question . a- out? well, that's the big question .

out. and there's a long history of the raaf working with the special forces, indeed, special air force aircrew work with the army on a regular basis. so they're very, very close . but they're very, very close. but they're very, very close. but the problem is numbers we did have a lot of troops on the ground able to secure to a degree that airfield . i mean, it degree that airfield. i mean, it was it was a pretty touchy operation. but here with the airfields that are available and are not sure how easy they are to access, we don't have that level of forces on the ground to secure. so bringing aircraft in under those circumstances is tricky. now, my understanding is that there's two ships being sent out to, i think it's djibouti, but i'm not absolutely

sure of that . and that seems to sure of that. and that seems to be a very sensible thing to do. the only problem is that there are 2 or 3 days away and there's problems, as you already highlighted, is urgent. problems, as you already highlighted, is urgent . and highlighted, is urgent. and therefore, it seems to me that this could be a coordinated operation and the airpower, which is much quicker to get anywhere , obviously has got to anywhere, obviously has got to be used in addition to the ships . and i hope that that is being considered obligation. does the british government— considered obligation. does the british government have- i :: g does the british government have here? of course, we've got— british government have here? of course, we've got the people who nonded — course, we've got the people who nonded non— course, we've got the people who worked for the _ course, we've got the people who worked for the government out , worked for the government out, out worked for the government out, on syno— worked for the government out, on syndo .— worked for the government out, on syndo . dnn— worked for the government out, out syria . i'm sorry, sir. out syria. i'm sorry, sir. doe—nnon— out syria. i'm sorry, sir. de—man has- out syria. i'm sorry, sir. de—man has been a dangerous odooe— de—man has been a dangerous odooe non— de—man has been a dangerous odooe on o— de—man has been a dangerous place for a while. _ de—man has been a dangerous place for a while. people who've ooeedn— place for a while. people who've oondn no— place for a while. people who've chosen to live— place for a while. people who've chosen to live there— place for a while. people who've chosen to live there have have nndenenood— chosen to live there have have nndenenood o— chosen to live there have have understood a certain amount of dondon— understood a certain amount of donden ond— understood a certain amount of donoen ond oney— understood a certain amount of danger and they might not be eoeodndo— danger and they might not be specific political— danger and they might not be specific political target in the noy— specific political target in the same way that— specific political target in the same way that british consular enon— same way that british consular enon — same way that british consular enon nne— same way that british consular staff are. the danger really comes in the— staff are. the danger really comes in the crossfire or in the denend— comes in the crossfire or in the oenend noe— comes in the crossfire or in the general chaos. to— comes in the crossfire or in the general chaos. to what extent is dnn— general chaos. to what extent is dnne on— general chaos. to what extent is there an obligation to get every edndde— there an obligation to get every ednode doen— there an obligation to get every single last one— there an obligation to get every single last one of— there an obligation to get every single last one of these people out single last one of these people on o— single last one of these people on d d— single last one of these people on d d dnnd— single last one of these people out? i think there—

tested, then they will be deemed to be an adult. i think that's the right approach. there's another problem is the way that you test people for age. so a common way is the most accurate way is through x ray. and there have been people , experts saying have been people, experts saying that it could damage erg the individual to cause them harm. i think that's a small price to pay think that's a small price to pay if we wish to properly assess people as children and it should be compulsory that everyone should be assessed. now it's easy when someone's 10 or 11, but it's more difficult when they're 17 and you get some 17 year olds who look more like 20 year olds who look more like 20 year olds who look more like 20 year olds or some 70 year old like 13. so i think where there is there is some, some dispute as to somebody's age or not. not certain about that . it should be certain about that. it should be compulsory tested . there's many compulsory tested. there's many modern techniques that we can use to do that. now, local authorities do that. we should take it out of the hands of
5:42 pm
local authority, asylum did it conducted a survey recently of 70 local authorities and they were getting it wrong. a third of the time. so i think this needs to be centralised that as soon as somebody claims asylum, they should be tested for erg for their age. if there's a dispute about their age, if there's some concerns about whether they are or not, children , that's really, really children, that's really, really interesting. and really, really onononnd— interesting. and really, really profound actually— “aiding. g and really, really profound actually that dxii;~;fnc g and really, really profound actually that the mood— profound actually that the illegal migration bill that's going— illegal migration bill that's going deoone— illegal migration bill that's going before parliament this need— going before parliament this week actually— going before parliament this week actually has some of the eodndone— week actually has some of the eodndone no— week actually has some of the solutions to this— week actually has some of the solutions to this many people nddd— solutions to this many people nddd de— solutions to this many people will be asking— solutions to this many people will be asking why on earth were oeoode— will be asking why on earth were oeoode-no— will be asking why on earth were people _to refuse- will be asking why on earth were people-to refuse an- will be asking why on earth were people to refuse an age people allowed to refuse an age nen— people allowed to refuse an age nen ond— people allowed to refuse an age nen ond dnn— people allowed to refuse an age test and then just— people allowed to refuse an age test and then just be assumed to be test and then just be assumed to de o— test and then just be assumed to de o ondddn— test and then just be assumed to de o ondddn dn— test and then just be assumed to be a child? in the— test and then just be assumed to be a child? in the past it seems ddne— be a child? in the past it seems ddnelddnonne— be a child? in the past it seems likelbizarre system,- be a child? in the past it seems like bizarre system, but like a bizarre system, but snonen— like a bizarre system, but stephen woolf- like a bizarre system, but stephen woolf i suppose there are some activists— stephen woolf i suppose there are some activists who say that we are some activists who say that no oon-n— are some activists who say that no oon-n de— are some activists who say that we can't be entirely sure that age— we can't be entirely sure that age verification— we can't be entirely sure that age verification mechanisms are odeodnndy— age verification mechanisms are absolutely scientific , ethically absolutely scientific, ethically onedddde— absolutely scientific, ethically credible. what— absolutely scientific, ethically credible. what do you say to onoee— credible. what do you say to dooee oeoode— credible. what do you say to those people ? _ credible. what do you say to those people ? indie. credible. what do you say to those people ? ifd�*nixc : credible. what do you say to those people ? indie. : those people? well, i would say just like ivan said, is that
5:43 pm
this is a price that we need to pay this is a price that we need to pay because in international law, we have to comply with the un convention on the rights of children, which identifies those under the age of 18 have to have special treatment. we have our own laws in the uk that deal with children the way that we treat them in homes and hotels and of course under the illegal migration bill, it's crucial to know those over the age of 18 because they're the ones who will fall in the category of being assessed automatically to being assessed automatically to be removed to rwanda for assessment. and so that is why you're going to see an increase in numbers of people attempting to those in authority to persuade those in authority that they are under the age of 18. and of course , in order to 18. and of course, in order to keep a system proper and effective and have the regard of the public to know that it's working properly , arnie then working properly, arnie then abuses must be sought out and corrected . and in this case, we corrected. and in this case, we have to have a system in place that checks those who are ages in dispute . and it's therefore in dispute. and it's therefore entirely proper to use all the

5:45 pm
understand there's a red notice out on him. so we know there's enough evidence to suggest that he has committed criminal activities. article one allows us to refuse to consider his asylum claim and also excludes us from article 33 of the convention, which stops us sending him back to a country where he faces persecution . we where he faces persecution. we can actually send him to a country where he does face persecution. why on earth is a home office not doing that? why is this person being let? why is he kept in a three star hotel? why is he not being removed? what is the home office doing? it's a total disgrace . it's it's a total disgrace. it's ivan. i completely- c n: edi i it's ivan. i completely agree with ennny— ivan. i completely agree with eneny nond— ivan. i completely agree with every word that— ivan. i completely agree with every word that you've said nnen.— every word that you've said dnn- d— every word that you've said there. i suppose— every word that you've said there. i suppose it does raise an there. i suppose it does raise on eyednon— there. i suppose it does raise an eyebrow that— there. i suppose it does raise an eyebrow that clearly the home ooddoe— an eyebrow that clearly the home ooddoe oon— an eyebrow that clearly the home office can issue— an eyebrow that clearly the home office can issue press releases on dnde— office can issue press releases on non non— office can issue press releases on this man, but— office can issue press releases on this man, but they can't kick ndnn— on this man, but they can't kick on on— on this man, but they can't kick on on on— on this man, but they can't kick him out of the— on this man, but they can't kick him out of the country. it eoon— him out of the country. it eooen on— him out of the country. it smacks of incompetence. i'm onodd— smacks of incompetence. i'm onodd nnn— smacks of incompetence. i'm afraid we're going to have to none— afraid we're going to have to deone o— afraid we're going to have to leave it there. _ afraid we're going to have to leave it there. thank you so nnon.— leave it there. thank you so much, stephen— leave it there. thank you so much, stephen wolf ivan much, stephen wolf and ivan sonoeon— much, stephen wolf and ivan sampson-both— much, stephen wolf and ivan sampson-both of- much, stephen wolf and ivan sampson both of your sampson for both of your perspectives _ sampson for both of your perspectives afternoon . perspectives this afternoon. neody— perspectives this afternoon. neddy. neddy— perspectives this afternoon. really, really appreciate it.
