" energy security. this comes as opec member saudi arabia announced it will make cuts of a million barrels a day from july , driving prices up sharply from this morning. liam halligan is with us. hi liam. hello, mark. nice to see you . great to see nice to see you. great to see you. i didn't know you got out of bed before midday. no, not really. but the money was agreed late last night. and here i am. this is bad news, isn't it, for us, for consumers . yeah. us, for british consumers. yeah. let's on to opec. just let's get on to opec. let's just talk about keir starmer. talk first about keir starmer. if may. down hinckley if i may. he's down at hinckley point we're building the point where we're building the first nuclear power station for many the uk. it's many years in the uk. it's europe's biggest infrastructure project. was there just project. i was down there just a few ago . starmer is few weeks ago. starmer is basically down there saying that he thinks nuclear is okay. nuclear is about a fifth of our energy supply these days. in
10:24 am
france, it's 70. that's why energy so much cheaper there. and he wants to say that his party push forward with party will push forward with building nuclear plants , building new nuclear plants, cutting costs for consumers and creating jobs . yes, indeed. creating jobs. yes, indeed. i mean, look what's going to happen.the mean, look what's going to happen. the unions aren't happy with this, are they? and they bankrolled the labour party. and this demonstrates to me that if starmer gets in, we will have this demonstrates to me that if staryears ets in, we will have this demonstrates to me that if staryears ets at, we will have this demonstrates to me that if staryears ets a civil will have this demonstrates to me that if staryears ets a civil war have this demonstrates to me that if staryears ets a civil war on ve this demonstrates to me that if staryears ets a civil war on the five years of a civil war on the left. well, i don't i think the unions are pretty happy that we're building new nuclear power stations. what they're really not is the fact not happy about is the fact that keir starmers party is keir starmers labour party is saying won't allow any new saying they won't allow any new investment in new oil and gas fields in the north sea. this is a story we've covered closely on gb news. we still get 75% of our energy needs from oil and gas here in the uk. about half of that oil and gas we generate and mine and create ourselves. even the government's climate change commission, the sort of in—house cheerleader for green policies, says that by the end of 2030, we're still going to be using
10:25 am
lots of oil and gas in this company , in this country. so it company, in this country. so it does seem to make sense to me to use own oil and but use our own oil and gas. but labour doesn't that. and labour doesn't want that. and that put them at that has really put them at loggerheads with two of the biggest trade unions the biggest trade unions in the country. words country. check out these words from some of these union leaders . so here we've got gary smith , . so here we've got gary smith, who's general secretary of the gmb, is the biggest gmb, which is the third biggest union country . there's gmb, which is the third biggest union country. there's a union in the country. there's a lack intellectual rigour and lack of intellectual rigour and thinking policies are thinking their policies are going cliff edge going to create a cliff edge with and gas extraction from with oil and gas extraction from the time for the north sea. it's time for labour to focus on right labour to focus on the right thing rather they thing rather than what they think the popular thing, think is the popular thing, because course, 200,000 jobs because of course, 200,000 jobs in british oil and gas in the british oil and gas industry. then we on industry. and then we go on sharon she runs the sharon graham, she runs the second biggest union in the uk, unite massive bankrollers of labour. labour must now be very clear that they will not let workers the price the workers pay the price for the transition renewable energy . transition to renewable energy. it's the extreme to it's reckless in the extreme to talk halting industry talk about halting this industry without coherent , without offering a coherent, fully funded plan for jobs. sharon graham actually comparing potentially this transition to
10:26 am
green energy. what it means for jobs in the sort of traditional fossil fuel sector with the demise of coal mining. when we were kids in the 1980s. and we know the massive political ructions that that had. and what we've got here is we've got the kind of metropolitan and university town lovey side of the labour party. oh let's let's be holier than thou on the green side hitting directly the kind of red wall, blue collar boilersuit wearing classes who get great jobs in the oil and gas industry . i was up in gas industry. i was up in aberdeen recently. i mean , aberdeen recently. i mean, talking to lots of older people in pubs and clubs. they're saying, what are our sons and daughters going to do if they're not going to work in oil and gas? there was very little here before oil and gas plus the insurance policy of being able to as to drill for oil and gas as a backup. i think many people would that can pursue would agree that we can pursue renewables, no problem. but why not that insurance policy not have that insurance policy in unpredictable in in an an unpredictable world, in a we don't want a dangerous world? we don't want to reliant saudi arabia or to be reliant on saudi arabia or god forbid, for future
10:27 am
god forbid, russia for future energy supplies. and of course, we've with we've done that deal with america purchase shale gas. america to purchase shale gas. it no sense. we are now it makes no sense. we are now importing huge amounts of lng. we call it liquefied natural gas from the us . we're importing it from the us. we're importing it for ourselves, but also for continental europe as well. that has a massive carbon footprint because you have to liquefy the gas, you have to transport it 3000 miles in a diesel fume oil, lng ships. then you have to regasify it. it's massively energy intensive. and talking about energy security, mark, there was news over the weekend that the saudis, who are at the centre of the opec exporters cartel or opec, generate , they cartel or opec, generate, they create 40% of the world's oil production . they control 80% of production. they control 80% of the world's oil reserves. production. they control 80% of the world's oil reserves . tvs. the world's oil reserves. tvs. there was a meeting in vienna of opec, the exporters cartel , over opec, the exporters cartel, over the weekend, and the saudis said they will unilaterally cut oil production by a million barrels a day. that's about 1. that's
10:28 am
that's big bananas. saudi basically generate they create ten, 11 million barrels a day. so 1 million barrels a day out of the 100 odd million barrels every day that the world uses, they're going to cut that already on global oil markets this morning. we've seen a two, three, 4% jump in oil prices , three, 4% jump in oil prices, and that's going to eventually hit petrol and diesel prices again. and it's going to start muddying the narrative of that. energy prices are coming down, that the cost of living is coming down. and this is directly in opposition to what america wants to what the uk wants, saudi, you know , wants, saudi, you know, seemingly our great seemingly one of our great allies is. and yet they're doing exactly what we don't want them to do at a crucial time, of course. and some would say they're doing what wants they're doing what russia wants them do. of course , you know, them to do. of course, you know, eh— them to do. of course, you know, eh hhe— them to do. of course, you know, one of the solutions,— ihih of course, you know, one of the solutions, this isn't one of the solutions, this isn't eh heh,— one of the solutions, this isn't on our list, liam,— one of the solutions, this isn't on our list, liam, so apologies if on our list, liam, so apologies h the— on our list, liam, so apologies h the eehhehe— on our list, liam, so apologies if i'm springing this on you, huh— if i'm springing this on you, huh h— if i'm springing this on you, huh h hhe— if i'm springing this on you, but i like it.— if i'm springing this on you, but i like it. mark and i were hehhhe— but i like it. mark and i were talking about— but i like it. mark and i were talking about this plan. now but i like it. mark and i were talkintgot out this plan. now but i like it. mark and i were talkintgot two this plan. now but i like it. mark and i were talkintgot two trials.an. now but i like it. mark and i were talkintgot two trials in. now but i like it. mark and i were talkintgot two trials in england. we've got two trials in england. it's we've got two trials in england. the heeh— we've got two trials in england. it's been trialled— we've got two trials in england. it's been trialled in wales for uhweheeh—

10:30 am
massively expensive. lviv and we had a dry run of it with the furlough scheme, didn't we? liam when did socialism suddenly win the argument? it does surprise me that tax burden is at a 70 year high in this country. the share of gdp that we that goes to tax. but that's because pubuc to tax. but that's because public spending is high. before covid lockdown, public spending was generally around 40% of gdp in this country. it went up to 53 during the lockdown year 2020. but it's now still around 44, 45, 46. so it seems to be structurally much higher than it was. and you know, it's the lesson of history, isn't it? once the state grabs power, it's very reluctant to let power to give that power up. and it's hard for people to argue that the state should have less power because people accuse you of being uncaring and immoral. yeah, hashtag be kind, everyone. at what expense? in fact, we're going— at what expense? in fact, we're going he— at what expense? in fact, we're going he he. — at what expense? in fact, we're going to be. thank— at what expense? in fact, we're going to be. thank you so much, heh.— going to be. thank you so much, heh. wehe— going to be. thank you so much, liam. we're going— going to be. thank you so much, liam. we're going to be talking in liam. we're going to be talking hh tueh— liam. we're going to be talking hh tueh-whhhe— liam. we're going to be talking in just while actually in just a little while actually eheuh— in just a little while actually about-fantastic- in just a little while actually about fantastic report about this fantastic report whheh— about this fantastic report which concluded, guess what,

10:55 am
will push further west compared with previous nights and it could push as far west as devon and cornwall, as well as central parts of scotland. otherwise clear skies across western scotland, west wales, the far south—west and northern ireland, where we get those clear skies. a few mist patches are possible . they won't last long into tuesday evening. quite quickly the sunshine will return and that will away at that sunshine will eat away at the it will push it back the cloud. it will push it back to but i think it to the coast. but i think it will generally remain a bit cloudier through the midlands east anglia, the east of england , parts of central and northern scotland as well. and as a result , temperatures held back. result, temperatures held back. i think again 11 to 14 celsius on that east coast where we've got the sunshine elsewhere, 22 or 23 celsius. but the cloud again pushing back in. where we've got the cloud, there's the potential for some drizzly stuff over eastern hills and eastern coasts as well. now a change on the way for the end of the week.

11:02 am
compared to last year. that's right. crossings are down 20. this is the first time since this problem began that a january and may have fallen compared to the year before . and compared to the year before. and this progress is not replicated across the channel illegal migrants entering the rest of europe have risen by 30. but we are not complacent because we know people smugglers are highly organised and will change their tactics. if we let them. i will not rest until the boats are stopped with grip and determination . the government determination. the government can fix this and we are using every tool at our disposal. first, i promise to work closely with our international partners because this is a global phenomenon. there are 100 million people displaced around the world and europe countries alone. so almost. the world and europe countries alone. so almost . a thousand or
11:03 am
alone. so almost. a thousand or alone. so almost. a thousand or a million asylum applications last year. and this international approach is delivering on our partnership with france stopped around 33,000 last year, 40% more than the year before . i've put the year before. i've put cooperation on tackling illegal migration on the agenda of every international summit i've been to from the g7 and the council of europe to last week's european political community summit in moldova last week, we agreed a new action plan with bulgaria. we began discussions on joint working with the european border agency, frontex , and in december i reached a deal with albania to because last year nearly a third of all those arriving in small boats were from that safe european country . and that's delivering country. and that's delivering to we've now returned . 1800 to to we've now returned. 1800 to albania in just six months.
11:04 am
we've gone from accepting around 1 in 5 albanian asylum cases to now just 1 in 50 in line with our european partners. and what is the result of all of this? so far this year, the number of albanians, small boat arrivals has fallen . by almost 90. this has fallen. by almost 90. this is proof that our deterrence strategy can work when people know that if they come here illegally , they won't get to illegally, they won't get to stay . they stop coming now. stay. they stop coming now. second, i promise to improve enforcement so we've doubled the funding given to the national crime agency for tackling organised immigration, crime and arrests here of illegal workers have more than doubled . ed have more than doubled. ed third, i promise to stop people spuriously using modern slavery claims to frustrate their removal . and since we started removal. and since we started asking for basic evidence to back up modern slavery claims,
11:05 am
the refusal rate has tripled. fourth, i promised to clear through the backlog of people waiting for initial decision number published today show that the initial decision legacy backlog is down by over . 17,000 backlog is down by over. 17,000 and we're on track to clear it entirely by the end of the year for fifth, i promised we would get illegal migrants out of hotels and into alternative sites in including military facilities . today, i can confirm facilities. today, i can confirm new large sites will open at wethersfield and scampton, with hundreds moving in over the summer and nearly 3000 by the autumn and while we're bringing those sites online , we're also those sites online, we're also making more efficient use of hotels by asking people to share rooms where it's appropriate to do so. we found . an additional do so. we found. an additional 11,500 places which will save taxpayers an extra £250 million
11:06 am
a year and i say to those migrants who are objecting, this is more than fair. if you're coming here illegally claiming sanctuary from death , torture or sanctuary from death, torture or persecution , then you should be persecution, then you should be willing to share a taxpayer funded hotel room in central london to reduce pressures on local communities. we'll also house people on ships. the first will arrive in portland in the next fortnight and we've secured another two today that will accommodate another thousand. finally i promised not just to reform our asylum system, but to reform our asylum system, but to reform our asylum system, but to reform our laws . so we've reform our laws. so we've introduced unprecedented legislation to make clear that if you come here illegally, you will be detained and removed in weeks , either to your own weeks, either to your own country or to a safe third country or to a safe third country like rwanda . our stop country like rwanda. our stop the boats bill passed the house
11:07 am
of commons in weeks , despite the of commons in weeks, despite the labour party voting against it at every turn . and we're at every turn. and we're preparing now so that once any legal challenges are complete, we will be able to put this bill into practise. i'm ensuring we have more detention capacity to hold those who arrive illegally enough court capacity to process their cases and add the planes to remove them to rwanda. i know these are tough measures and i make no apology for that . we make no apology for that. we cannot allow our generosity of spirit to be used as a weapon against us or against those who are being pushed to risk their lives in the channel by criminal gangs. lives in the channel by criminal gangs . our approach is working gangs. our approach is working for the first time, crossed gangs are down by 20, but we are not complacent. this won't be solved overnight and people will continue to come this summer, which is why it is so important
11:08 am
that we change the law. my policy is very simple . it is policy is very simple. it is this country and your government who should decide who comes here and not criminal gangs. i will do what is necessary to achieve it. i said i would stop the boats and i meant it. thank you. if we take some questions from the media next. and could i start, please , with the bbc . start, please, with the bbc. thank you, prime minister. chris mason, bbc news. you're eehhhhuhha— chris mason, bbc news. you're eehhhhuhha he— chris mason, bbc news. you're continuing to promise to stop the boats, though it is on the lectern in front of you. and yet there has been around 7500 migrants who have crossed on small boats so far this year. with the summer months ahead, is it credible to promise to stop them ? literally, no more boats. them? literally, no more boats. so thank you, chris. i think the most important— so thank you, chris. i think the most important people- i think the most important people to take ewew— most important people to take ewew heh — most important people to take away from today— most important people to take away from today is that our plan

this week. is it time for a brit he heeh whhh— this week. is it time for a brit to lead nato 7 _ this week. is it time for a brit to lead nato ? h “03 to lead nato? so, natasha, on on, on on numbers, i'll let other people other people will judge how well we're doing. and the purpose of today's update is to give people a sense of progress. and i believe there's reasons to be confident that our plan working. we've been plan is working. we've been through numbers, it's through the numbers, but it's not the number of people not just the number of people coming is coming down. coming that is coming down. we're progress on hotels. we're making progress on hotels. we're making progress on hotels. we're on getting we're making progress on getting the also the backlog down. we're also making on enforcement. making progress on enforcement. what you've seen is the number of illegal working raids has gone up by 50. that was one of the things that i talked about. we've also doubled the number of arrests from from our activity tackling illegal working. and again, that's all part of a plan. it all creates a deterrence effect that people should not try and come here illegally . so we've made illegally. so we've made progress there as well. so across all the aspects of the ten that spoke about ten points that i spoke about when the plan at the when i launched the plan at the end of last year, i think people can that we're making can see that we're making progress them. but progress on all of them. but crucially, numbers are down progress on all of them. but cructhere's numbers are down progress on all of them. but cructhere's yetmeers are down progress on all of them. but cructhere's yet lotsers are down progress on all of them. but
11:17 am
cructhere's yet lots more; down progress on all of them. but cructhere's yet lots more to own and there's yet lots more to come. and then people ultimately can make a judge of whether we're doing good enough job or we're doing a good enough job or not. made more not. i believe we've made more progress on this issue than anyone's a very long anyone's made in a very long time because it's the first time the and the numbers have come down. and then nato, i think then look on on nato, i think ben ben does a fantastic job. he's great defence secretary. he's a great defence secretary. you a conversation you know, this is a conversation that happening amongst that is happening amongst leaders world more leaders around the world more generally and i'm sure it will continue to happen. i would say ben is widely respected amongst his colleagues around the world, particularly he's particularly for the role he's played in ukraine and played in in ukraine and supporting ukraine. and the britain has always been a leading contributor nato . leading contributor to nato. we're one the handful of we're one of the handful of countries that always met our obugafion countries that always met our obligation to spend 2% of our gdp on defence. currently we're spending even more than that, and we've been a leader in nato operations . we're one of the operations. we're one of the only countries participates only countries that participates in every single nato operation. we perceived as we are widely perceived as a thought in nato thought leader in nato and i think if you ask the nato secretary—general, he would he would agree with everything i've just will always just said. and we will always continue to a strong
11:18 am
continue to be a strong contributor participant in contributor and participant in nato next. and i know we're kind of conscious of time as well . of conscious of time as well. turn to kent online . yes . the turn to kent online. yes. the illegal migration bill is going through the lords today are you worried that that might stall things because the lords have had opposition towards anti—illegal immigrant policy in the past ? thanks. thanks anti—illegal immigrant policy in the past? thanks. thanks sam. so look, it's really important for me to see this new law on the statute books. you know, it's one of my five priorities. i believe it's the country's priority as well, to see the boats stopped . and this new law boats stopped. and this new law is an important part of how we will do that. why? because this law makes it unequivocally clear that if you come to our country illegally , you will not be able illegally, you will not be able to stay in stead. you will be swiftly detained and then sent back either to your own country if it's safe to do so, or to
11:19 am
rwanda or another third country alternative . that's the process alternative. that's the process that this bill puts in place. and it means that people will be processed in a matter of days and weeks, not months and years . and if we can get that working, the deterrent effect, i think be very powerful . think will be very powerful. that's why bill is so that's why the bill is so important . that's why the bill is so important. i'm pleased to say it was passed in the of was passed in the house of commons in matter of weeks commons in a matter of weeks with support, although with strong support, although the did it the labour party did oppose it at each every turn. but it at each and every turn. but it is important to me that this bill does get put on the statute books because it's an important part we will the part of how we will stop the boats. but i'd also say that i'm already doing the work now to make sure that when the bill does come into law and manages any legal challenges that we may have to deal with, that we are ready to implement it. so i'm already doing meetings almost twice a week with all the relevant cabin secretaries to make sure that all the all the building blocks and elements of operationalising the bill will be put in place in advance. so
11:20 am
that's making sure we have enough detention capacity to detain people . it's making sure detain people. it's making sure that we have enough judicial capacity to hear people's cases and claims in a matter of days and claims in a matter of days and weeks. and it's making sure that we have all the logistics in place to actually remove people to rwanda. you know, all of that is hard work. and we're at it now as i said, twice a week, making sure that we've got everything ready so that when the bill comes into law and is ready to be used, that we are absolutely ready to use it as soon as possible . and then if soon as possible. and then if we've got time, maybe for a couple more . perfect. right. can couple more. perfect. right. can i go to itv meridian? we've got local itv . well, i've got to local itv. well, i've got to say,— local itv. well, i've got to eew, weu— local itv. well, i've got to eew, weu heeh— local itv. well, i've got to say, you lost me- local itv. well, i've got to say, you lost me at- i . well, i've got to say, you lost me at itv meridian . hhe— say, you lost me at itv meridian . hhe hhew— say, you lost me at itv meridian . hhe hhew ehhht— say, you lost me at itv meridian . are they still going ? listen, . are they still going? listen, heh-e— . are they still going? listen, heh-e eeh— . are they still going? listen, let's get reaction. rishi sunak, a let's get reaction. rishi sunak, ehhheheee— let's get reaction. rishi sunak, a tireless rishi _ let's get reaction. rishi sunak, a tireless rishi sunak, he looks the— a tireless rishi sunak, he looks the he— a tireless rishi sunak, he looks the hhe whe— a tireless rishi sunak, he looks like his wife left— a tireless rishi sunak, he looks like his wife left him about hheee— like his wife left him about three weeks— like his wife left him about three weeks ago. he doesn't know where— three weeks ago. he doesn't know where hhe— three weeks ago. he doesn't know where hhe hheh— three weeks ago. he doesn't know where the iron is.— three weeks ago. he doesn't know where the iron is. he— three weeks ago. he doesn't know where the iron is. he has said hheh— where the iron is. he has said hheh he— where the iron is. he has said hheh he he— where the iron is. he has said
