12:18 pm
united kingdom about a similar attack happening on our soil? after all, there are at least 19 known terrorists in the uk. could something similar happen here? well, the first thing to say— here? well, the first thing to say is— here? well, the first thing to say is inac— here? well, the first thing to say is that this— “mi? well, the first thing to say is that this wasn't a ierrorisi— say is that this wasn't a terrorist act. - say is that this wasn't a terrorist act. e r: r: " e terrorist act. it didn't meet the definition of the terrorism act 2000. that is, it had no political ideological right, racial or religious intent . racial or religious intent. could it happen here? of course it could . but there is no it could. but there is no correlation or causation between those who come and organise crime. really, the key thing here is why do all these people keep coming and what are the drivers of this? and you can see this in this this person in that the syrian civil war started in march 2011. he came at least ten years ago to sweden , where he years ago to sweden, where he did go through the asylum process and have refugee status. he then moved legally to france , and it may have been that denying of asylum in france was the catalyst for this. but you can have free movement in
12:19 pm
europe, which we don't subscribe to anymore under the schengen agreement, where you can have a free movement of borders, which is essentially what happened with the attack for example, in the berlin christmas market attack by anis amri and it's the displacement and really the movement of humanity on the move in the last ten years, starkly initially powered by syria. but then the rise of is and therefore you've got all these routes into europe you've got from the western mediterranean into spain, central mediterranean into italy , east mediterranean into italy, east mediterranean, into greece and turkey. and that's where most syrians go and to the balkans. so, yes, it can happen . but one so, yes, it can happen. but one of the things about this is that most people do do live a good life when they become have refugee status. and so if you look , for example, at germany, look, for example, at germany, where they took a million people after the after the is rose and merkel's line, of course, was the schaffen das, we can handle

12:22 pm
not illegal, a method of entry across the channel is not necessarily illegal under international law. that's from . international law. that's from. the 1951 refugee convention in and of course, that came about because of the displacements in the second world war. this is a really , really big macro really, really big macro problem. and i'm not downplaying it. if you look at every it. and if you look at every global risk report in the last ten years, they do all suggest that migration flows and that these migration flows and illegal immigration or whatever you want to call it, have challenged local financial and absorption capacity and exacerbated the trend towards polarisation of societies and the political spectrum that is true. yeah, but the point i'm trying to make is that you quoted legislation extensively. there which patently isn't working— there which patently isn't working .— there which patently isn't working . i— there which patently isn't working . i mean, the numbers of working. i mean, the numbers of people— working. i mean, the numbers of people coming— working. i mean, the numbers of people coming into— working. i mean, the numbers of people coming into our country iiiegaiiy— people coming into our country iiiegaiiy are— people coming into our country illegally are rocketing . we're illegally are rocketing. we're expeciing— illegally are rocketing. we're expeciing as— illegally are rocketing. we're expecting as many as 85,000 this yea..— expecting as many as 85,000 this y... ani— expecting as many as 85,000 this year, and inai-s— expecting as many as 85,000 this year, and that's probably a concern lviv— year, and that's probably a concern lviv estimate. of concern lviv estimate. and of course, amongst— concern lviv estimate. and of course, amongst those, there are going— course, amongst those, there are going-a— course, amongst those, there are going-a-namier- course, amongst those, there are going-a-number of. going to be a huge number of people-— going to be a huge number of reorie-simniy— going to be a huge number of people. simply don't know people. we simply don't know ineir—saieiy. i

12:24 pm
channel was absolutely ridiculous because they are still mandated under the conventions of the law of the sea to aid people in distress. and if you have people who are in these dinghies, they are people in distress . if they're people in distress. if they're shipping water. so 22 largest shipping on water. so 22 largest nafion shipping on water. so 22 largest nation was supposed to break this business model, have a system where those seeking asylum could get refugee status either quickly or go back to the country where they should be registered , which is another registered, which is another thing under the european legislation called the dublin regulation, it's a really difficult problem. no one has solved it yet. you want to try and get off stream in early , but and get off stream in early, but you'll get people coming all the time from sub—saharan africa and from those countries which are fragile and failing states. okay chip chapman, thank you for your input on this very sunny saturday. what do you think at; what do you think saturday. what do you think anom— saturday. what do you think aioai mise— at; what do you think about this? because i've been son— about this? because i've been son-saying— about this? because i've been sort-saying this— about this? because i've been sort saying this for a long, sort of saying this for a long, iong— sort of saying this for a long, iong-koa— sort of saying this for a long, long-you know,- sort of saying this for a long, long you know, just long time. you know, we just ion-i—wiiii long time. you know, we just. ion-i—wiii or don't have the political will or the don't have the political will or ine-io— don't have the political will or the -to tackle _ don't have the political will or the -to tackle this. - the guts to tackle this. it's aki— the guts to tackle this. it's aii-ani— the guts to tackle this. it's all-and well-

12:26 pm
far today that's developing some torrential downpours for parts of wales central areas of england. so a thunderstorm warning in force until 9:00 warning is in force until 9:00 this evening. those will steadily progress their way northwards, moving northwards, eventually moving into western scotland into parts of western scotland come the overnight and come the overnight period. and they be heavy here they could still be heavy here as generally turning drier as well, generally turning drier elsewhere but low cloud elsewhere, but some low cloud persisting parts of persisting across parts of southwest england through southwest england and through the northern but all the northern isles. but for all of going to be quite of us, it's going to be quite a muqqy of us, it's going to be quite a muggy and humid night. temperatures holding up around mid teens, potentially temperatures holding up around mid uncomfortableotentially temperatures holding up around mid uncomfortable for�*itially temperatures holding up around mid uncomfortable for sleeping quite uncomfortable for sleeping as we start off sunday. those showers in the north—west will be persisting into the be persisting and then into the afternoon the sunshine afternoon as the sunshine develops. develop develops. that will help develop even further thundery showers even further. thundery showers again primarily western again across primarily western parts england into wales as parts of england into wales as well. we could see 30, 40mm of rain in an hour, but they will generally be hit or miss. so not everyone is going see them. everyone is going to see them. temperatures on sunday once again potentially climbing towards celsius towards that 30 degree celsius mark. feeling quite warm and mark. so feeling quite warm and with strong uv levels as with some strong uv levels as well the overnight period, well into the overnight period, some of those showers will continue for a time before they

12:42 pm
their campaign. we've had already two sets of industrial action that took place over , action that took place over, obviously, first of all, easter and then around the coronation actually , it didn't have that actually, it didn't have that much impact. it was just security officers at terminal five that were striking then, and they basically made sure that backfilled with lots that they backfilled with lots of from head office and of people from head office and there wasn't that much of an impact. long impact. we didn't see long queues. see people's queues. we didn't see people's flights being cancelled. the difference time is the fact difference this time is the fact that we've got two terminals being now. so being involved now. so the security terminal three security staff at terminal three are striking and that's are also striking and that's going to involve, as you say, 2000 people. now, it's not going to as easy for heathrow to to be as easy for heathrow to sort that number of sort of backfill that number of positions and especially over such a long sustained period of time. weekends and time. we're talking weekends and you're going be losing quite you're going to be losing quite a of goodwill people in a lot of goodwill from people in head they're having head office if they're having to spend weekends spend their weekends in their summer holidays filling in for those striking workers. so last time round, when border force went on strike, the armed services stepped up and simon calder, the travel guru, called it the least effective strike of

12:44 pm
through to be okay. now, that's fine. if you're british airways and you're you know, you've got basically lots of lots of destinations where you're flying maybe 4 times a day, you maybe 3 or 4 times a day, you can cancel those flights can cancel one of those flights and aren't that impacted and people aren't that impacted . you're talking . and but when you're talking about virgin about flights with virgin atlantic or emirates that perhaps once a day. atlantic or emirates that perhifis once a day. atlantic or emirates that perhif people once a day. atlantic or emirates that perhif people are once a day. atlantic or emirates that perhif people are thenice a day. atlantic or emirates that perhif people are thenice a cto. and if people are then going to be impacted that's be impacted by that, that's going a much greater going to have a much greater impact lisa, impact on people. well, lisa, they're impact on people. well, lisa, iney-re iarning— impact on people. well, lisa, they're turning down- . rt“ well, lisa, they're turning down an iniiaiion— they're turning down an inflation busting pay rise and a oii— inflation busting pay rise and a one off payment— inflation busting pay rise and a one off payment of £1,300. i mink— one off payment of £1,300. i inink a— one off payment of £1,300. i inink a ioi— one off payment of £1,300. i think a lot of— one off payment of £1,300. i think a lot of people out there gaiie— think a lot of people out there were quite like— think a lot of people out there were quite like that sort of money — were quite like that sort of moey nai— were quite like that sort of money. but the _ were quite like that sort of money. but the big question is mis— money. but the big question is ins—news- money. but the big question is this, news viewers this, lisa, if gb news viewers imi— this, lisa, if gb news viewers find themselves— this, lisa, if gb news viewers find themselves at an airport on a—so- find themselves at an airport on a—so inai-s- find themselves at an airport on a—so inai-s a| a package holiday. so that's a inai-s— a package holiday. so that's a inai-s a— a package holiday. so that's a one that's a one— a package holiday. so that's a one that's a one off flight and inai-s— one that's a one off flight and mats—iney- one that's a one off flight and. that's—they cannot that's cancelled and they cannot get that's cancelled and they cannot geilineir— that's cancelled and they cannot get their destination. what get to their destination. what is ine— get to their destination. what is the redress?— get to their destination. what is the redress? can they get ineir— is the redress? can they get ineir money— is the redress? can they get their money back ? c ”rtrticcyr c their money back? it really it depends what you're talking about. package holidays. yes then package then obviously the package houday then obviously the package holiday operator, provider holiday tour operator, provider would it to actually make would expect it to actually make sure they get you to your destination. for airlines, destination. and for airlines, this classed an this is classed as an exceptional circumstance . it's exceptional circumstance. it's not their fault that the strike is airport, so is happening at the airport, so you any compensate you don't get any compensate nation. airline , if they
12:45 pm
nation. but the airline, if they do have to cancel your flight , do have to cancel your flight, has they get you to has to make sure they get you to your destination as quickly as possible. generally same day possible. generally the same day and not necessarily with their own aircraft . it could that own aircraft. it could be that they you on to a they could book you on to a rival carrier. that is the law. unfortunately not unfortunately that's not what happens. issue as well happens. and the issue as well is you're doing this the is if you're doing this over the summer, all summer, it's extremely busy. all the are going to be very the flights are going to be very busy anyway. so finding those spaces who whose spaces for people who whose flights been cancelled is flights have been cancelled is going a bit of an issue. going to be a bit of an issue. but as i say, you know, it's making you've got your making sure that you've got your insurance check your insurance in place. check your travel check to if travel insurance check to see if you've sort cover you've got delayed sort of cover . so any cover for delays that might have been impacted this might have been impacted by this strike and strike cover. now, not every policy will have that, and it might worth adding and it might be worth adding something your policy just something to your policy just so that should, worst that if you should, the worst does happen, not out of does happen, you're not out of pocket . lisa mino, pocket financially. lisa mino, travel editor— pocket financially. lisa mino, travel editor of— pocket financially. lisa mino, travel editor of the- t �*" “ti“rt. lisa mino, travel editor of the sun. ikceiieni— travel editor of the sun. excellent wise - travel editor of the sun. excellent wise words as ever. inanks— excellent wise words as ever. inanks ior— excellent wise words as ever. thanks for joining excellent wise words as ever. thanks forjoining us excellent wise words as ever. thanks for joining us today. weii— thanks for joining us today. weii iis— thanks for joining us today. well, it's been— thanks for joining us today. well, it's been one hell of a week— well, it's been one hell of a week ior— well, it's been one hell of a week for the— well, it's been one hell of a week for the duke of sussex, nasn-i— week for the duke of sussex, nasn-i ii— week for the duke of sussex, nasn-i ii i— week for the duke of sussex, nasn-i ii i in— week for the duke of sussex, hasn't it? in his— week for the duke of sussex, hasn't it? in his own words, he said— hasn't it? in his own words, he said ii—

1:18 pm
and who who voted against mass globalisation, mass migration . globalisation, mass migration. and what they got was mass migration , more globalisation , migration, more globalisation, free trade agreements which undermine an indigenous british industry. so he didn't have the policy mix for the election that he himself brought into being. and that's the real tragedy . and that's the real tragedy. that's what we should be talking about. that's what we should be talking about . and it's not really clear about. and it's not really clear the conservatives have anybody in the in the parliamentary party who can speak to that electorate. so that will vanish , you know, or come , come the , you know, or come, come the next poll and then the conservative party risk being a rump kind of pro—market party in a world where we are the politics have passed it by. that's how i see it. okay philip, thanks for that. i mean, i certainly agree that-

1:20 pm
nobody in the party wants to go back to anarchy . and so even back to anarchy. and so even sunak might preserve his position because that's the great fear. so i think i think he's he's been it's a bit like al capone being being got on tax evasion . you know, they got rid evasion. you know, they got rid of him via a method that that allowed them to get rid of him . allowed them to get rid of him. um, i don't think it's necessarily the grounds upon which he should have been got rid of. i think the whole party issue doesn't animate me. i think it's minor and trivial. i think it's minor and trivial. i think the real issue is the failure to deliver for the electorate and the fact that levelling up has essentially been been levelled out. you know, it's been removed from the offer and we just have austerity and standard thatcherism, which which is a minority offer, really. okay. which is a minority offer, really. okay . phillip blonde, really. okay. phillip blonde, inank— really. okay. phillip blonde, inank yoa— really. okay. phillip blonde, thank you for— ”rtticcyr okay. phillip blonde, thank you for joining ”rtticcyr okay. phillip blonde, thank you forjoining us on thank you for joining us on mis— thank you for joining us on inis. sammy— thank you for joining us on this. sunny afternoon. and for

know, a situation, an ecosystem in crisis. first know, a situation, an ecosystem in crisis . first of all, let's in crisis. first of all, let's be absolutely blunt about this. this is a long term problem . this is a long term problem. we've been seeing declines in investment in the nhs and in cancer care over the last decade. we've been seeing increasing squeezes and shortages . this increasing squeezes and shortages. this is increasing squeezes and shortages . this is despite the shortages. this is despite the burden of for cancer care going up . we have more patients than up. we have more patients than ever before . so the complexity ever before. so the complexity of the care is even greater. but i think coming out of the post covid era, we really expected the government to grasp this and actually put in place a dedicated cancer plan with long term vision and long term funding to address not just the critical workforce shortages , critical workforce shortages, but also major issues in the way our nhs is structured. the organisation the way our patients flow through. and that hasn't happened. in fact, quite the opposite . what the the opposite. what the government's actually managed to do dissolve the national do is dissolve the national cancer plan and merge it cancer control plan and merge it into some wishy washy generic plan. so what the royal college of radiologists data shows here is have a system in crisis is we have a system in crisis and the crisis is not just in
