3:07 pm
refurbish it, plus whatever it costs for security and catering, plus whatever it costs to lay on a bus service for the young men into town. cetera . et cetera. into town. et cetera. et cetera. et 500 people? yep 500 et cetera. 500 people? yep 500 more people than that cross the channelin more people than that cross the channel in a single day . more people than that cross the channel in a single day. in order to cope with the volume of people coming across the channel people coming across the channel, we would need to encircle the british coastline with or have so many of with barges or have so many of them lined up in the channel that migrants walk that the migrants can just walk across. i love how the bbc across. now, i love how the bbc are handling this story. critics have likened the bbc home to a floating prison and these poor asylum seekers might suffer more trauma . well, it's literally not trauma. well, it's literally not a prison because they can come and go . check this out. barge and go. check this out. barge residents will be strongly encouraged to return to the ship by 11 pm. each night. however there will be no curfew . right. there will be no curfew. right. so you tell a load of young men that they are going to be held on this barge while their claims are decided. and if it doesn't go in their favour then they will be deported. and you tell
3:08 pm
them that they're free to leave . how many of them do we think are going to hang around ? they are going to hang around? they are going to hang around? they are discouraged roaming the are discouraged from roaming the streets of weymouth or portland . and but there are hourly bus services so that they can go shopping, apparently. who's paying shopping, apparently. who's paying for that? so to summarise lies, the bibby stockholm is a floating white elephant of disaster that does not save us any money. it isn't big enough to solve the problem and will act as a base from which young men leg off into britain, men can leg it off into britain, endangenng men can leg it off into britain, endangering absolutely everybody in the local area. but apart from that, of course , it's from that, of course, it's a great idea. when something big goes wrong and not if i am saying when, whether that's here or at any of the other potential barge sites or any of the other hotels, when something goes badly wrong, does anybody else not worry that there will be riots in the streets . aidan riots in the streets. aidan magee gb views on gb news dot
3:09 pm
com. i want to hear from you, but let's find out a little bit more about migrant barge more about this migrant barge that's way to portland. that's on its way to portland. the stockholm will house the bibby stockholm will house 500 men. they are first. asylum seekers are expected to board the barge later this month and it's reported to be costing more than £20,000 a day just to hire. and berth the bibby stockholm . and berth the bibby stockholm. it's been renovated in falmouth and its arrival in portland is a month behind schedule , which month behind schedule, which actually given to . it's not that actually given to. it's not that bad, is it? and dorset council has been given £2 million to meet the cost of providing services for the bibby stockholm. they've called them residents. but yeah . anyway, residents. but yeah. anyway, let's cross now to portland and speak to gb news home security editor mark white, is editor mark white, who is awaiting its arrival eagerly. mark okay, now look, is this actually going to solve any of our problems? what is the what is the latest on the bibby stockholm ? stockholm? >> well, i mean , it's part of >> well, i mean, it's part of what the government sees as the solution to getting away, at least from the overreliance on
3:10 pm
hotels which are accommodating currently 51,000 asylum seekers. right across the country. and of course , causing community course, causing community tension. but in going for the model of trying to house more people in specific locations like wethersfield in essex or scampton up in lincolnshire, or indeed this bibby stockholm barge here in portland , then barge here in portland, then clearly those in this local area are very concerned indeed about the prospect of hundreds of young men , as you say, not under young men, as you say, not under curfew as such that can be out to whatever time in the evening . and there's also concern about what it will be in terms of a drain on the local resources here. but for better idea of what those concerns are, we can speak to alex bailey, who is the coordinator campaign leader for the stop the barge campaign . the stop the barge campaign. it's on its way. alex have you
3:11 pm
lost the campaign? no we haven't, mark. >> we're going to be continuing with our protests when the cruise line has come in to really show the disparity here. the real villains of this piece are portland port and the home office . and we still need to office. and we still need to make them accountable. they're not speaking to us because portland port , they've just not portland port, they've just not listened to your concerns. >> is that right? >> is that right? >> is correct. they have >> that is correct. they have not to the concerns of not listened to the concerns of the and they've gone the community, and they've gone through secretive through what is a secretive agreement with the office. agreement with the home office. >> is your concern, though? >> what is your concern, though? they housed in a they are being housed in a barge, not in the town. as such , the accommodation , it's been , the accommodation, it's been upgraded to give them all of the facilities. what it is your particular concern . particular concern. >> so mentioning that upgrade, we don't know what they have doneis we don't know what they have done is they doubled up on the beds. now whether they've gone into their community spaces or recreational we don't recreational spaces, we don't know. we see it as other groups do, as almost a prison, a quasi prison for what will be 506
3:12 pm
young men . and what are they young men. and what are they going to do on this barge? farage thinking, too, about concerns about the island infrastructure . yes, the council infrastructure. yes, the council now has £2 million, but we still don't know what they're going to be spending that money on. >> you see, there's a kwasi prison, but in reality it's not really the conditions of those young men here that you're concerned about, are you? it's the local population here. the potential for these young men to go off into that local community and potentially get up to no good? >> that's incorrect . you know, >> that's incorrect. you know, we see the inhumanity of this for both asylum seekers and the people of portland . this is a people of portland. this is a plan that has not been thought out by the home office , by out by the home office, by portland port, who is owned by langham industries. they also own an estate, a wine estate nearby. now now this just hasn't been thought out, mark. and we are seeing that more and more every day. >> but the government say they are thinking it out, that the
3:13 pm
refurbished the vessel specifically for this use to get away from the overall balance on hotels which at the end of the day are taking away facilities from a community causing tension within that community. surely this type of thing is the ideal way forward to try to deal with the numbers coming across ? the numbers coming across? >> yes, i would disagree with that. >> yes, i would disagree with that . only the other week we had that. only the other week we had over 1000 come into the country . we now these sites aren't large enough. we need to start thinking about offshore or possibly, as patrick said , possibly, as patrick said, islands, which these people can be processed properly , safely be processed properly, safely and humanely. this barge, a quasi prison, is not the solution . solution. >> an island, you know , in >> an island, you know, in practical terms, might be a bit difficult to achieve at short notice. at least this , according notice. at least this, according to the government, is one partial way of dealing with the overreliance on hotels. isn't it just a case that, you know, you don't want it in your back garden? it's complete nimbyism,
3:14 pm
isn't it ? isn't it? >> well, i mean, just thinking of councillor leary, what he shared today about putting a barge on the thames. sidique khan, mayor of london, has said no to the barge . many no to the barge. many metropolitan areas have said no to the barge while we, a rural, small community like scampton too, are being forced forced into this faustian deal. it's not right. it's not good and everyone is being hurt by this. and the villains of this story. portland port and the home office need to be held accountable. >> so would you challenge then sadiq khan to do his part , play sadiq khan to do his part, play his part and allow the barge or more than one barge onto the thames? >> i think that's a very reasonable question to ask and if he did that, would you be a bit more sort of ready and willing to accept this barge here? well, he has already said no two barges, which have no to two barges, which have meant . so meant 1000 asylum seekers. so even if we were to challenge him, i think his statement would again be no to the barge . but
3:15 pm
again be no to the barge. but yes, i do. i challenge him to that. >> where do you go from here then? because this barge by this time tomorrow may already be berthed here in portland harbour . how on earth do you reverse that process, even though you say you're going to fight on once it's here, it's here. >> so we're going to continue our protesting . when the cruise our protesting. when the cruise liners come in. we're also going to be protesting the barge when it comes in, which we believe is going to be early tomorrow morning. our campaign is now moving spectrum moving into the legal spectrum in dorset council shared with us some kind of issue with the water line about this. and the barrister that they informed, which was a richard wald said this, but still the questions that i this, but still the questions thati asked this, but still the questions that i asked on thursday are not are not have not been answered the when of it, what question was asked, answers to was asked, and the answers to that. was asked, and the answers to that . we a freedom of that. we have a freedom of information request and hopefully get that hopefully we'll get that information the end the information by the end of the month. there still mark, month. but there are still mark, so questions not answered so many questions not answered and is it your concern, i mean,
3:16 pm
despite the fact that dorset council has been given £2 million to help with with the additional facilities for those that are going to be housed in this barge, are you still concerned that there just won't be the infrastructure and the facilities to be able to deal with this into the longer term if that's the case? well we've been told by a councillor laura beddow, who's the head of the multi that two multi agency forum, that two pcsos will be made available for the island and cctv . pcsos will be made available for the island and cctv. i don't feel that is enough . i was feel that is enough. i was speaking to a police sergeant just the other day and he said they will probably be hired in august . this is it hasn't been august. this is it hasn't been planned out . it hasn't been planned out. it hasn't been thought out. it hasn't been properly costed. >> so you are concerned about the safety implications as well, then? >> indeed, yes. for both the asylum seekers and the people of portland . portland. >> okay. andrew bailey, thank you very much indeed for speaking to us live on gb news organised tour of the no to the barge campaign.
3:17 pm

3:26 pm
news, britain's news . channel news, britain's news. channel >> in a few moments, there's a warning that staff safety is at risk at one of the uk's biggest department stores, a licence to loot. it's great loot. apparently. it's great news if you're a shoplifter and this is a bit different. it's being claimed spiders can being claimed that spiders can help sex life . help boost your sex life. guaranteed. no. in my house. but a new report, though , different a new report, though, different news now says that protests outside schools by hardline muslims is a threat to national security and could even inspire mass killings. there security and could even inspire mass killings . there were mass killings. there were demonstrations batley demonstrations outside batley grammar school in 2021 after a teacher showed pupils a caricature of the prophet muhammad . the study by the henry muhammad. the study by the henry jackson society think tank says muhammad. the study by the henry jacks action iety think tank says muhammad. the study by the henry jacks action poses ink tank says muhammad. the study by the henry jacks action poses a k tank says muhammad. the study by the henry jacksaction poses a serious;ays such action poses a serious threat to social cohesion and the peaceful coexistence of diverse communities within the united kingdom. i'm joined now by the man himself is waziq waziq, who is the associate fellow at the henry jackson society, also a terrorism expert. waziq thank you very,
3:27 pm
very great to have you on very much. great to have you on the show. numerous different elements i'll elements to this report. i'll throw you. throw it over to you. essentially. risk of essentially. are we at risk of a total breakdown in social cohesion as a result of fundamental islam? what's going on? >> well, i think there is certainly a lot of credibility to that argument. >> but the fact is that any instances of anti—blasphemy that have taken place have taken place with fundamental a—list islamists . when we look at the islamists. when we look at the case of the batley grammar school, where a teacher had shown a caricature of the prophet muhammad, he ended up having to go into hiding and is still in hiding two years later. >> and this was as a result of protests that were taking place and death threats . but not only and death threats. but not only that, during that period , there that, during that period, there was also a charity who had actually named the teacher and put his life at risk. now, this teacher is probably never going to you know, live a normal life ever again because he showed something that he is not only legally allowed to do , but
3:28 pm
legally allowed to do, but morally allowed to do. and certainly if it continues like this and other people are put at risk, then we could see a situation where social cohesion could be at risk because of fundamentalist islamists . fundamentalist islamists. >> and this talk of mass killings . so talk me through killings. so talk me through that. >> so, yes, indeed . so when we >> so, yes, indeed. so when we look at the mass killings that have taken place as a result of blasphemy, we've seen them take place in other regions, such as pakistan, such as france , where pakistan, such as france, where people have been obviously , you people have been obviously, you know, taken a stance against islam or, you know, have tried to exercise their freedom of speech and then and then have been killed as a result of it. and we've also seen it here on our on, you know, in britain itself, only a few years ago, a muslim himself who was an ahmadi muslim was actually killed because he had said something
3:29 pm
that some sunni muslims had considered blasphemous and was killed. and this was this took place in scotland . so, of place in scotland. so, of course, we are seeing a really important milestone that's taking place that the government really needs to get a grip of. >> okay. so how do they get a grip of it? because if people do believe genuinely that they are serving allah and that nothing else matters and that this in their interpretation is what allah wants them to do, then they're just going to do it, aren't they're just going to do it, areiwell , that certainly seems >> well, that certainly seems the case. i think one of the recommendations from the report from the henry jackson society is that two organisations that are linked to pakistan need to be proscribed as terrorist groups. the first one is tehreek e insaaf and the other is the khatme nabuwwat . now by khatme nabuwwat. now by proscribing these groups you are preventing other people in britain from showing any support towards them. and by doing that you can potentially prevent them
3:30 pm

3:50 pm
attached to these spider webs, had them attached to the ends of a nerve that would have been severed some of severed during some kind of prostate apparently prostate surgery. and apparently with three of the six, i'll take those odds . three of the six those odds. three of the six said their sexual function return to normal in just 12 weeks. the nerve grew back. so thatis weeks. the nerve grew back. so that is great. but not not. yeah. can i just ask you a bit about, you know, if anyone is out there potentially struggling in impotency department at in the impotency department at the moment, are there any tips , the moment, are there any tips, for want of a better phrase as to you overcome this ? to how you can overcome this? >> well, i suppose you have to find out the two things of whether sort a whether it's sort of a psychological issue or a medical issue. sometimes it's your body just can't do that. and so therefore, you do need medical advice. >> and then sometimes it's psychological. >> and we all, you know , know >> and we all, you know, know that, you know, the stresses of the world you've got so much stress on people's shoulders at the moment. it's stress inside the moment. it's stress inside the house, outside the house, climate change people are told to worry about. i mean, we're

4:06 pm
europe. wildfires are raging on the spanish holiday island of la palma , spain. italy and greece palma, spain. italy and greece have been experiencing scorching temperatures now for several days. and it's forecast that parts of italy could see the thermometer hit 45 c this week. but i don't know about you. over the weekend , especially whenever the weekend, especially whenever i turned on the news on a lot of other channels. it must be said it was all maps of europe painted in bright red scorchio. we're all going to die stuff. then they'd go over to somewhere in south korea where there's been a landslide. that's, of course the fault of climate change. loads of people have died a result climate died as a result of climate change in south korea. then we'll go somewhere for yet we'll go somewhere else for yet another disaster. another climate disaster. and then makes me wonder, you then it makes me wonder, you know, is it actually any surprise that loads of people that i talk to every single day from just stop oil, young people have decided that they don't want to have children because they don't want to bring them into world impending into this world of impending fire and death. and i just thought actually , is this proof
4:07 pm
thought actually, is this proof of climate change or are those people all who bang on about it just scaremongering and terrifying the living heck out of all of us? well i am joined now by the deputy director of net zero watch, andrew montford . we were supposed to be having a big debate on this with another chap called danica mccarthy, who is a climate person. but he bothered person. but he hasn't bothered to so andrew, we'll to turn up. so andrew, we'll just start with then. you just start with you then. do you think this is climate scaremongering ? scaremongering? >> absolutely . this is project >> absolutely. this is project fear all over again , isn't it? i fear all over again, isn't it? i think the these maps that we keep seeing on the on the tv news all the time in lurid colours are designed to do one thing only, and to that's scare us witless. these temperatures are not in general anything other than the kind of temperatures that you get in a hot summer in the mediterranean. and i yesterday posted a magazine cover from the from the 1930 in italy with temperatures where they were reporting
4:08 pm
temperatures of 42 degrees, which is more than they're seeing in italy at the moment. i mean , there is obviously mean, there is obviously a movement to frighten people, to get them to change their behaviour, to, you know, go so that they go out and buy electric cars or whatever it is that the establishment wants us to do. but there is very little to do. but there is very little to back this up in terms of science . the science here is science. the science here is quite complicated and we don't have very good data to tell us what the weather does normally. we know that the weather changes all the time . it changes on all the time. it changes on decadal scale. it changes on centennial scales. it changes on millennial scales. so it's very different, difficult to say what it does normally. so if it gets a bit warmer for a few years, is that natural change or is that manmade climate change? and we honestly don't know now. so what scientists do then is they do. >> we honestly don't know. i'm just going to yeah, i'm just going to cut that. all right. andrew thank you. i do believe
4:09 pm
i'm reliably informed that we might. yes good stuff. danica mccarthy , thank you very, mccarthy, thank you very, very much . i believe that you were, much. i believe that you were, of course , the climate columnist of course, the climate columnist at independent for 2019, at the independent for 2019, 2023, huge amounts of you 2023, a huge amounts of you know, i suppose what could you say experience in the climate movements, etcetera. to movements, etcetera. so great to have thank you have you on the show. thank you very now, know how very much. now, i don't know how much of you heard. is there much of that you heard. is there evidence we're seeing evidence that what we're seeing now, certainly on continental europe is actually as a result of climate change, or is it just a bit hot ? a bit hot? >> it's both . weather always >> it's both. weather always changes. we've always had heatwaves . we've always had hot heatwaves. we've always had hot days. how ever added to that? we've added million years worth of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, which science has actually proven, heats the atmosphere. so what we are now seeing is those two things combined . we've had the hottest combined. we've had the hottest junein combined. we've had the hottest june in history , hottest week in june in history, hottest week in history, the hottest day in 125,000 years. and the idea of this guy montford comes on here and tries to dismiss it is
4:10 pm
absolutely scandalous . every absolutely scandalous. every single reputable scientific body in the world knows that climate change is happening and what we should be discussing is not whether it's happening, it's what hell do we now that what the hell do we do now that we're in the middle of this crisis? >> okay. well, andrew, i will obviously respond obviously let you respond to that. single that. apparently, every single reputable analyst says reputable climate analyst says you're wrong . you're wrong. >> um, to what extent? to my. hold on, john mauger my turn . to hold on, john mauger my turn. to what extent am i wrong? i mean, i agree that there is climate change. i agree agree that carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas which warms the climate . but gas which warms the climate. but whether what we've seen is anything to do with climate change is a bit of a moot point. you can't tell anything about the climate from the weather in a week or a year. okay. nobody's saying that andrew doyle that thatis saying that andrew doyle that that is just scaremongering. the ipcc talks about it says we've seen an increase in heat waves , seen an increase in heat waves, but we also have people going on about floods. we had we had
4:11 pm
floods a few days ago, but the ipcc says they haven't detected any changes in floods yet. so and in fact, heatwaves is the only extreme weather where they where they think they have detected something. okay >> all right. we'll pause. we'll pauseit >> all right. we'll pause. we'll pause it there. i can tell you're itching to come back in. go on. >> well, look, the fact is, is that andrew montford is representing the global warming policy foundation, who we don't know is funding him. he comes, he's been doing this for over a decade. he's been doing this for over a decade . and the idea that dark decade. and the idea that dark money is affecting policy in britain when our future is threatened is absolutely outrageous. >> why doesn't he why does he not why does he not declare who funds them? >> because i will go back to, you know, honestly, seriously, i will go back to you. right. but just of the dark just in terms of the old dark money we money stuff, right. until we know funding know exactly who is funding absolutely. single element absolutely. every single element of rebellion and just absolutely. every single element of oil, rebellion and just absolutely. every single element of oil, who,ebellion and just absolutely. every single element of oil, who, byellion and just absolutely. every single element of oil, who, by then and just absolutely. every single element of oil, who, by the way,i just stop oil, who, by the way, are very, very, very, very reluctant or very, very, very reluctant or very, very reluctant to reveal is very reluctant to reveal who is exactly well , exactly funding them as well, then we will have no doubt we know who's funding. know exactly who's funding.
4:12 pm
>> vince funding >> and dale vince is funding them patrick into them to the patrick patrick into them to the patrick patrick into the funding. we know there is a global campaign by the oil corporation for 20 years to fund disinformation like andrew's just put across . they want to just put across. they want to sow doubt so we don't take action. and it is a criminal enterprise . enterprise. >> both exxon, bp and shell scientists have all reported that climate change and burning fossil fuels will lead to climate destruction and is unfolding . unfolding. >> and andrew andrew gwynne, for his part of the pr campaign to stop us protecting ourselves. it's outrageous . it's outrageous. >> okay. all right. so andrew, look, i suppose let's be honest now, you you say that this now, you you would say that this red hot scorchio weather that's taking place on the continent is just nice, hot summer weather because reading between the lines donica says, there lines of what donica says, there you essentially want us to carry on drilling for oil and doing all the things that we're doing at is that true ? at the moment. is that true? >> well, i to come back to something donica said, i mean, he said , what should we be doing he said, what should we be doing about it ? so the question he said, what should we be doing about it? so the question is then you know, what can we do
4:13 pm
about it? >> yeah. all right. look, to be fair, i can't let that fair, i can't really let that one afraid wouldn't one go. i'm afraid i wouldn't know. to be fair , andrew, know. look, to be fair, andrew, i am sorry about this. i'm not that my i that sorry. i'm doing my job. i mean, there. that true mean, is there. is that true what there, which what .uk is saying there, which is you that is just realistically you that i'm by big oil? what's i'm funded by big oil? what's that ? that? >> no, i'm. no, i'm not funded by big oil. we're not funded. we don't take money from oil companies. okay. so no, what the accusation is, you're funded by fossil fuel interests. >> it doesn't mean that it's indirectly company . why indirectly an oil company. why don't you just say on our website don't accept money website we don't accept money from companies or anybody from oil companies or anybody with an interest in an oil company? >> so again, this is this is just a conspiracy theory . just a conspiracy theory. >> it's really no, it's really important. >> people don't have to engage. >> people don't have to engage. >> you have huge influence in british politics and we don't know who funds you. why don't we know who funds you. why don't we know you? we know who know who funds you? we know who funds i do. clients fund funds me. i do. my clients fund me, are actually ordinary me, who are actually ordinary organisations trying to cut their footprint . why their carbon footprint. why can't know who funds you? can't we know who funds you? >> extinction rebellion
4:14 pm
>> because extinction rebellion would be straight round to their offices and would have vandalised them probably. okay >> thinks about vandalising offices like that. >> come on. »- >> come on. >> come on. our >> come on. our offices. >> come on. our offices. all right, look. >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> to be fair, i've done. i've done a few bits and bobs like that. don't look. we'll pause . that. don't look. we'll pause. the reason. only reason i'm the reason. the only reason i'm going old who funds going to pause the old who funds who discussion because who discussion here is because otherwise we're going up otherwise we're going to end up getting nowhere. so. getting absolutely nowhere. so. but, andrew, i will throw it to you. to tell us, but, andrew, i will throw it to ythink, to tell us, but, andrew, i will throw it to ythink, what to tell us, but, andrew, i will throw it to ythink, what you to tell us, but, andrew, i will throw it to ythink, what you think tell us, but, andrew, i will throw it to ythink, what you think should i think, what you think should be done about this particular heat wave. okay >> terms do we do >> so in terms of what do we do in climate policy , in terms of climate policy, anything has to cost less anything we do has to cost less than the estimates of the cost of global warming. so if you take the official estimates of the cost of global warming , it's the cost of global warming, it's about £50 per tonne of carbon dioxide now. okay, let's be generous. let's call it 100. okay now the cost we are spending £200 per tonne to decarbonise our electricity system already . this is madness. system already. this is madness. this is utterly irrational
4:15 pm
exaggeration . the medicine is exaggeration. the medicine is worse than the disease. and this. this is true of almost everything we're doing. so the question is not what should we do, but what can we do? what policies are there that cost less, less than the global warming i'm not warming problem? and i'm not really of any very much . really aware of any very much. >> all donna, i'll >> oh, all right, donna, i'll bnng >> oh, all right, donna, i'll bring back in on basic. bring you back in on basic. >> is saying basically >> andrew is saying basically andrew saying continue andrew is saying is continue drill and don't drill for oil and gas and don't invest renewables and don't invest in renewables and don't invest in renewables and don't invest cost in energy invest in cost in energy efficiency in terms of renewables and recipe for side . renewables and recipe for side. >> donna, can i just ask you something about renewables? do something about renewables? i do wonder with wonder whether or not with some of them they are actually the solution. example , i'm solution. so, for example, i'm going a story going to be doing a story a little later about solar little bit later on about solar panels made by chinese panels being made by chinese slave labour, which doesn't seem particularly ethical. we also know a bit the old know quite a bit about the old lithium batteries that appeared to be mined out of the ground by one congolese children, one armed congolese children, which doesn't to be which again doesn't seem to be particularly ethical, are actually solutions actually some of the solutions to this indeed argue only worse morally than what we're doing at
4:16 pm
the moment? don't kill cash well, when you're arguing about supply chain issues like that, which of course need to be dealt with, any supply chain, whether it's oil, gas, lithium mined , it's oil, gas, lithium mined, copper, whatever, however , the copper, whatever, however, the idea that actually we put that beside the survival of humanity, look at what's happening in canada, the wildfires there. >> yes, there have always been wildfires, but the amount of this year is 147 times the background . normally 28,000 background. normally 28,000 hectares goes up in quebec this yearis hectares goes up in quebec this year is 3.6 million. the future society is at stake and we are talking about details about supply chains. of course, renewables will do it well. renewables today are producing 60% of the energy in the united kingdom. my home is to provide by renewable energy for ten months a year for free and actually, if we invested in in insulation for our homes, we'd have 9 million families across britain lower bills. this britain with lower bills. this guy argues against every solution and basically he's a shill for the oil industry .
4:17 pm
shill for the oil industry. >> andrew i will throw that back over to you. is there an increasing body of evidence global sea about a massive, drastic impact on our climate and therefore we need to do something about it immediately ? something about it immediately? >> well, of course i'm reminded of the words of professor steven koonin , who was an adviser to koonin, who was an adviser to the obama administration, who has pointed out that the scientific reports of the intergovernmental panel on climate change doesn't mention the words crisis , emergency or the words crisis, emergency or anything like that, except once , and that's in relation to dodgy media coverage of the global warming problem . there global warming problem. there isn't a climate emergency that's a fairy story. okay. there is potential a climate problem, but it's a relatively small problem. and the ipcc says climate change might reduce world gdp by 2% by 2050. that's a small problem,
4:18 pm
not a big problem. we've got to stop this fair story that we're in some kind of an emergency thatis in some kind of an emergency that is leading to irrational. we need rationality . we need rationality. >> we're going to have to look . >> we're going to have to look. this could obviously go on forever . we are this could obviously go on forever. we are going to have to draw a line under it. i'm afraid i did enjoy. that's debate. i did enjoy. that's a debate. hey that was, hey good stuff, right? that was, of deputy director hey good stuff, right? that was, of net deputy director hey good stuff, right? that was, of net zero. deputy director hey good stuff, right? that was, of net zero. watch rty director hey good stuff, right? that was, of net zero. watch andrew tor of net zero. watch andrew mumford jonathan mccarthy as mumford and jonathan mccarthy as well big name in the well, who is a big name in the world old climate change world of the old climate change stuff right right. stuff now. okay. right right. and in fact, he's the director of climate media coalition to give his title. give him his proper title. right. so your right. okay. so get your views coming gbviews@gbnews.com coming in gbviews@gbnews.com i must say, i was just the idea that bombarded with climate emergency all across europe and i was thinking, it is a bit i was thinking, well it is a bit of isn't there we of summer isn't it? but there we go. later this hour, i go. a little later this hour, i will on the people who will focus on the people who have been branded britain's thickest have been branded britain's thicman have been branded britain's thic man who took have been branded britain's thicman who took part in an the man who took part in an armed robbery whilst wearing an electron tag. there is a lot of this going about. it will be a good laugh if nothing else. but right now, here's your very,

about this. >> well, let's have a little look at it, patrick. i'll see what you did there . so look, the what you did there. so look, the uk fishing industry, it is relatively small. it's just less than a couple of% of gdp . but than a couple of% of gdp. but it's really vital for certain parts of the country. it's not just the fishing towns themselves . it's also they drive themselves. it's also they drive local economies. we know a lot of the poverty in the uk is just inland from coastal communities. so for many, many of these fishing communities in the west country up in scotland and down in sussex, in east anglia, brexit was really for them, a kind of holy grail, and they thought they'd get a much better deal. thought they'd get a much better deal . and indeed, mark spencer, deal. and indeed, mark spencer, the fishing minister, he was in shoreham sea earlier today in shoreham on sea earlier today in west sussex. he says he's unveiled this package that's going to help those fishing boats that are less than ten metres. that's about two thirds of the 4000 or so working fishing vessels that we have in this country. the minister says he wants to release the cap on the quotas that those small vessels can fish , allowing those
4:29 pm
vessels can fish, allowing those small, often family run businesses to make more money. he but as a quid pro quo defra, the ministry wants to insist after a pilot scheme that these small vessels have cameras and sensors on them so depher can monitor exactly what is being caught. so gb news asked the fishers fisheries ministry whether or not because these cameras and sensors to fit them, maintain them and, you know, harsh conditions can be very, very expensive. we thought we'd ask on behalf of britain's fishermen whether or not there'd be government grants for this. and this is what the minister said. >> i think technology really is going help the future. going to help in the future. >> to with >> and i want to work with the fishing make we fishing sector to make sure we embrace technology. embrace that technology. it means better data, means we'll get better data, which means we'll be able to be more sustainable the more sustainable into the future. course, we want future. and of course, we want to to the fishing sector to listen to the fishing sector about they face. about the challenges they face. and doing a consultation and we're doing a consultation at moment time . that at this moment in time. that conversation about conversation is ongoing about who will pay that equipment, who will pay for that equipment, but does benefit the but it does benefit the government and they also
4:30 pm
benefits . benefits the fishing sector. >> okay. so is brexit delivering for our fishing and coastal communities? well not what the minister just communities? well not what the ministerjust said , that communities? well not what the minister just said , that there minister just said, that there probably won't be any grants for. >> there's going to be a consultation. well he clearly doesn't know if the answer was yes, there will be grants. it probably said yes. probably would have said yes. look, lots of look, i've spoken to lots of fishing folk over the last few years. they were meant to be the community that really benefited from brexit, though i have to say, you know what? 2016, the political class spent 4 or 5 years arguing about it. we only formally left in 2020. the reality is patrick, still between 60 and 70% of the fish caughtin between 60 and 70% of the fish caught in landed in british waters are going to france, spain and italy . that's one spain and italy. that's one thing to say. the other thing to say is that fishermen complain bitterly , assurances that is up bitterly, assurances that is up to 12 miles from the uk would be reserved for british boats. well, they're completely being blown out of the water, frankly . so returning your play on
4:31 pm
words, there's now a six mile limit and continental boats can fish right up to that limit, which is something that the fishing industry feels bitterly betrayed about. and in general here we are in 2020, the number of active fishing vessels and full time equivalent fishing related jobs in the uk in 2020 2021, it fell 6% from the year before . more so, i wish before. more so, i wish britain's fishing community well. but on the strength of what we've seen so far, there doesn't seem to be any particular post brexit bonanza. >> no. and there really should be. and i would say as well that there is absolutely no excuse for not being because for it not being because these these waters . if it's these are our waters. if it's our waters and we voted for independence. and boris johnson had the audacity to wear that that tie with the fish on it didn't he, when this brexit deal didn't he, when this brexit deal, brexit done, deal, when he got brexit done, i mean, community that mean, this is a community that we do owe getting we really do owe and is getting pillaged. there's something, i think visibly horrific about our own waters being pillaged by foreign boats and then the
4:32 pm
contents of that being used locally. we could talk about this all day, but liam halligan there. you much. our there. thank you very much. our economics there. thank you very much. our ecor keeps eyes ears on just keep your eyes and ears on that we're not going that one because we're not going to one go. liam to let that one go. liam definitely not going letting to let that one go. liam defi|oney not going letting to let that one go. liam defi|one go.t going letting to let that one go. liam defi|one go. so oing letting to let that one go. liam defi|one go. so you letting to let that one go. liam defi|one go. so you iexpect that one go. so you can expect a lot on that story in our lot more on that story in our fishing communities right here at gb the coming at gb news in the coming days, weeks and months, but lots more still now and still to come between now and 5:00. ask, the muslim 5:00. i will ask, is the muslim community doing more community in need of doing more to islamist terror to prevent islamist terror attacks? ask that because attacks? and i ask that because it emerges that m15 spends three quarters of its time trying to combat the likes of islamic state al—qaeda, we hear state and al—qaeda, we hear about of the far right. about the rise of the far right. yeah, the right is yeah, okay. the far right is increasing, but do certain elements muslim community elements of the muslim community need to do more to combat terrorism their own terrorism amidst their own ranks, were? but first, it ranks, as it were? but first, it is latest headlines with is your latest headlines with rory . rory. >> thank you very much, patrick. the prime minister wants to put an end to universities taking advantage of people with low quality courses. the government

4:35 pm
security is involved, security of country, everyone has to do their best. >> there , best to keep the >> there, best to keep the country safe and safer. >> this is a most important thing which the suella braverman says, i want to keep the country safe . we want to keep the safe. we want to keep the country safe, too. and of course, there are. yes, we can. we can, of course, do more in the mosque, can say again and of course, mosque can advise the schools, can advise the islamic centre, can advise the younger people. please, please don't go follow , follow these. for follow, follow these. for example, internet or that and that based going toward extremism and terrorism, which you put yourself in trouble and you put yourself in trouble and you put your mother and father and family in trouble. it is our duty as well to do that. there is no problem. we can do. but what we have to see in here, it is not only a problem of the muslim , because if you say is a muslim, because if you say is a problem, muslim, everybody going to point at us and everybody going to say, you are responsible, you are responsible, you are responsible, and our daughters, our children cannot go to the to
4:36 pm
the streets and they going to attack them. the people getting up before this happen. now, what we need to do, whole community, british community get together and eradicate this for all. this is not a islamist. this is a political these people have got a political agenda, nothing to do with the religion . do with the religion. >> okay. all right. interesting stuff . i am >> okay. all right. interesting stuff. i am becoming increasingly concerned, though , increasingly concerned, though, by how willing some elements of some muslim communities are to host and attend events by radical hate preachers like an ayatollah abbas who came over from bangladesh. he is somebody who has praised nine over 11. lord, did osama bin laden and other leaders of the taliban he was due to speak in parts of london, in birmingham , in london, in birmingham, in northamptonshire, in a variety of different places. and so many people wanted to go and watch
4:37 pm
that guy talk and that indicates to me that maybe there is a large element of the british muslim population who . well, muslim population who. well, what potentially does sympathise with his views and those views are pretty extreme . are pretty extreme. >> i wouldn't say i wouldn't think, of course, if you say the extreme extreme, i haven't seen that person. but however , i that person. but however, i don't think majority of the muslim in the country, majority , 99, of course they want to hear him. but does not mean they want to go and be a terrorist. you know , maybe some people go you know, maybe some people go and say, well , you you know, maybe some people go and say, well, you don't. you know, maybe some people go and say, well , you don't. that and say, well, you don't. that person, the mufti , you don't person, the mufti, you don't wrong, you don't wrong. you should you should not come. and again , i said the government again, i said the government must monitor the government, monitor because in the mosques, in the universe , cities, which in the universe, cities, which i'm in, the mosques, in the centres , if we want get some centres, if we want to get some person to come and talk at the first we look, we check him . is first we look, we check him. is he is he a is a good person? is he is he a is a good person? is he right thing to say? he at the right thing to say? and them the right
4:38 pm
and we tell them what the right thing to if government thing to say. if the government must advise and the muslim are all willing working with the government, working with the suella and working with the home secretary, working all to keep the country safe and eradicate this again , i said on this some this again, i said on this some of the many , many mothers and of the many, many mothers and fathers i know many have been around 40 years in this in this in this business which they come i advise the government, i advise the prevent advise the mis. we advise the prevent advise the m15. we all advise them and we keep him, our children, safe as other children. therefore what we need to do, we need to work together and eradicate that person shouldn't have been talking. if you if he says 911 is okay, is up absolutely wrong. absolutely wrong. it was an evil thing with thousands of thousands of people. people died ipso. therefore, what we need to do , we need to work together , do, we need to work together, not pinpoint at each other. and of course, at the moment, m15 says , i had 800 arrest.
4:39 pm
says, i had 800 arrest. i haven't heard anything in the news. nobody came and tell me, sheikh, they know me. they know me . i'm very involved with the me. i'm very involved with the young people and advise them . do young people and advise them. do not go to there. do not go be extreme because you put your mother and father in problem if you want to help. really, we have many, many charity organisation based go all over the country and i'd go with them as a volunteer and help. >> okay. is enough being done in mosques because there are people like for example, salman abidi, who was the manchester arena bomber , used to attend the bomber, used to attend the didsbury mosque. there was reports of banned preachers having been in libraries, in mosques, very often contain some pretty hard line literature and you say that there's some kind of internal security procedure whereby when somebody comes into a mosque and what wants to convert to islam, that there's some kind of security process. i'm just not not sure that's
4:40 pm
necessarily true . necessarily true. >> we have what we have, michael, 171 1750 mosque. we have many one 1 or 2,1 michael, 171 1750 mosque. we have many one 1 or 2, 1 or 2,1 or 2. only doing wrong, which we have to advise them or we have to we have to make sure the committees , the committees, the committees, the committees, the right committee, which do not do not interested . and we have to, not interested. and we have to, of course, some some monitoring. there is no problem because the mosque are always open to all muslim , christian, jews, hindus, muslim, christian, jews, hindus, lgbt, whatever, all are open . lgbt, whatever, all are open. they welcome. therefore what we can do, we cannot say 1500 or 1007 nana the mosque are all doing wrong . 1 or 2 doing wrong, doing wrong. 1 or 2 doing wrong, of course. and we will advise them. m15 will advise them and we correct them. okay. >> what do you make then of some of the instances that we've seen? there's a new report that came out yesterday, think it came out yesterday, i think it was called the was from a society called the henry society , which is henry jackson society, which is very concerned about the potential for massive amounts of violence on the streets of
4:41 pm
britain if things don't change when it comes to hardline fundamentalist elements of the islamic community. accept thing and being compatible with british culture. and i'm referring to things like riots in the streets and death threats when it came to a teacher showing a picture of the prophet muhammad, which, by the way, i don't necessarily think he should showing should have done showing a picture prophet muhammad picture of the prophet muhammad to child in batley grammar. to a child in batley grammar. >> think i think they called >> i think i think they called i don't know my english is not good called poppycock. it's good called poppycock. no, it's not at all. nothing at all. nothing that you see from the muslim. we see the we did see demonstration from the muslim. unless of course, they they burn. they are sometime burning their their book which they come they book, they keep it out and they book, they keep it out and they pray this is the only they do only one. and they go by the government , by the they take the government, by the they take the perpetrator to court. they are not taking they think on the hand and i can promise you that
4:42 pm
the guy, the teacher, the teacher is still in hiding. >> he's going to he's going to he's going to have to change his identity. his family have gone into hiding. why do we have to why do have to do. why do we have to do. >> yes, you are >> of course. yes, you are right. some people, of right. some some people, of course, go a little course, they go a little bit extreme say different . extreme and say say different. however, is free country. you however, is a free country. you can you have do. can say what you have to do. again i said i said we should not. we have we have to have a we have to have, of course, freedom of speech is absolutely right , but not freedom of the right, but not freedom of the inqu right, but not freedom of the insult we are in. if you get insulted , insult rather to insulted, insult rather to people insulting my mother, my father and don't insult my prophet. therefore this is something which some people some people, they say young people, they say they are they are they are extremes . they are they are are extremes. they are they are orthodox. they are not. >> this is what i don't understand. this is another thing i don't understand . this thing i don't understand. this is another thing i don't understand, why understand, which is why so much of extreme ism that seems to of the extreme ism that seems to be happening with the radical elements of the islamic community at the moment appears

5:06 pm
this month. it was being renovated . and now get load of renovated. and now get a load of this apparently this as well. apparently we're not how it not allowed to know how much it cost renovate thing, but cost to renovate this thing, but it the day that mps cost to renovate this thing, but it the the day that mps cost to renovate this thing, but it the illegaliy that mps cost to renovate this thing, but it the illegal migration s debate the illegal migration bill, which is a key part of the government's plan solve government's plan to solve the migrant i have got a migrant crisis. i have got a little fact file about this big migrant barge for you. so it's on its way to portland. yet we know that the bibby stockholm will house 500 people. i've already you that. but the already told you that. but the first seekers first asylum seekers are expected to board barge expected to board the barge later month . it's reported later this month. it's reported to costing more than £20,000 to be costing more than £20,000 a day to just hire and berth the bibby stockholm home. we have to factor in catering a 24 hour security. they're laying on a bus service hourly for migrants to go into the local towns as well. it has been renovated in falmouth and its arrival in portland is a month behind schedule and dorset council has been given £2 million to meet the cost of providing services for what they are calling the bibby stockholm home residents . bibby stockholm home residents. fantastic. there appears to be some consternation from some
5:07 pm
media outlets that this is in danger of being a prison ship . danger of being a prison ship. well, it is interesting because there used to be an actual prison ship there at that very place , and prison did place, and that prison ship did not inmates who were not have inmates who were allowed board hourly bus allowed to board an hourly bus and go a town and spend and go into a town and spend taxpayers money around the local shops and drink and do whatever else. but let's cross now to portland to gb news portland and speak to gb news home security editor mark home and security editor mark white. mark, the public reaction there good . there has not been good. >> yeah, there is no doubt that people here are anxious about the prospect of this barge arriving thing and 500 young male asylum seekers being housed here and being free to go and fight, not just free to go, but will have of these laid on bus services , taking them to services, taking them to locations on the isle of portland, but also nato in weymouth and other locations as well. they're being encouraged to be home by 11:00 in the evening, but there's no law,
5:08 pm
says they have to. they can come and go as they please . you were and go as they please. you were mentioning some of the costs there. what you didn't factor in is the health costs. they are going to have, we're told by the health care services in terms of a gp on site , a health care services in terms of agponsite,a9to health care services in terms of agponsite,a9t05, health care services in terms of agpon site,a9t05,we health care services in terms of a gp on site , a 9 to 5, we think a gp on site, a 9 to 5, we think five days a week. there will be dental care offered as well . so dental care offered as well. so add to that the additional costs of policing . dorset police, we of policing. dorset police, we understand, are going to lay on a couple of police community support officers. we're not sure when they will actually be in possession on to offer their services to this area . but services to this area. but clearly, because of what we've seen in hotel accommodation right across the country with on occasions crime is being committed by young and bored men
5:09 pm
housed in hotels. there is some concern that a large group of 500 home housed in this barge pretty bored with nothing much to do. might some of them at least get up to no good and mark, just stay there for me. >> i think it's fascinating running through some of the details that mark has given us there. okay. so if there's a gp on hand boat for 500 people on hand on a boat for 500 people monday friday, 9 to 5, that monday to friday, 9 to 5, that is much easier access to a gp more regularly than frankly , any more regularly than frankly, any of us are going to get. dental care as well. isn't it amazing? it's true. it would be too intrusive to do things like dental age checks. but of course if their if they do want their teeth fixed, absolutely fine . fixed, that's absolutely fine. police support officer fixed, that's absolutely fine. pwould support officer fixed, that's absolutely fine. pwould love support officer fixed, that's absolutely fine. pwould love to support officer fixed, that's absolutely fine. pwould love to havepport officer fixed, that's absolutely fine. pwould love to havepppoliceicer i would love to have a police community support officer stationed my road stationed at the end of my road 24 seven. i think that 24 over seven. i think that would be great. it bring would be great. it would bring the down, free the burglary rate down, a free bus what bus service into town. what about living in about elderly people living in rural communities? they don't get in fact, get a free bus service in fact, all their service all too often their bus service doesn't it? doesn't exist anymore, does it? so sounds like an absolute so it sounds like an absolute touch one of lucky 500
5:10 pm
touch to be one of the lucky 500 on barge. but but, on this barge. but but but, mark, we do have mark, i mean, we do have a situation , though, that situation, though, where that barge filled in half barge could be filled in half a day, it, the weather day, couldn't it, if the weather conditions are right the conditions are right in the channel >> well, certainly at the moment we have got a sort of a seven knots speed. we think being done by this barge under tow, by a tug, because it's got the wind behind it. so yeah, it could be arriving in here in the early hours of this morning. and i don't know, actually early whether because i'm not privy to really what's going on in the minds of ministers and home office officials, whether they would like to sneak it in under the cover of darkness or whether actually they might like us to film it as it arrives here in the morning or later in the day, because it's clearly, if we see it and film it, it shows that they are taking some kind of action at least to try to deal
5:11 pm
with the issue of 51,000 asylum seekers taking up hundreds of hotels in communities right across the country . and we know, across the country. and we know, patrick, because your show more than most, have been reporting on many of the protests and the anger that has spilled over into many of these communities. so cognisant of that fact, the government is trying to do something, at least to have purpose built or at least adapted and larger scale accommodation centres be it on a barge or an old ministry of defence spaces , is that they see defence spaces, is that they see this as better and more austere in the way of the accommodation that's offered than perhaps some of the more more plush hotels that they've been staying in. but the trouble is, of course when you put that many people who are free to come and go into communities which are often rural community cities that don't really have the service
5:12 pm
bars and the infrastructure , bars and the infrastructure, then there's a whole new dynamic at play. and that is, you know , at play. and that is, you know, very concerned. people in small areas suddenly being greeted with the spectacle of hundreds of young males wandering around their villages. >> yeah. and you know, somebody did. come on, i think you were interviewing them earlier on who made the point that we do have the river thames in london. we should slapping should be maybe slapping some of these outside the these barges just outside the houses indeed houses of parliament or indeed somewhere near sadiq khan's hq. but course, wouldn't but of course, they wouldn't have would say, have that and they would say, oh, wouldn't it to oh, well, we wouldn't want it to we disagree with people on we disagree with it. people on the we disagree the left, we disagree with it because human rights , the because of the human rights, the people no, don't buy people on board. no, don't buy that you that for a single second. you just don't want a massive migrant near migrant barge anywhere near where you actually that where you actually live. that would view . but mark, just would be my view. but mark, just drill for me on something drill down for me on something here. if had crossed here. so if i had just crossed the i find out that the channel and i find out that i am one of lucky 500 who i am one of the lucky 500 who enter the bibby stockholm, the dizzying heights get on dizzying heights of and i get on there , i would be initially there, i would be initially gutted because apparently
5:13 pm
despite new refurb , they have despite a new refurb, they have pred despite a new refurb, they have ripped the bar out it. so ripped the bar out of it. so gosh you that's that's gosh you know that's that's already a black mark me. but already a black mark for me. but i would be able to stay on this barge and get an hourly bus service into is it weymouth or portland itself. and then i would just be strongly encouraged to be back by 11:00 at night. but but i would not be forced to be back by 11:00 at night. is that correct ? night. is that correct? >> that's correct . but yeah, >> that's correct. but yeah, there's going to be at least three bus services , we three bus services, we understand two weymouth in two locations in portland on the island itself and two other locations nearby . so that people locations nearby. so that people yes, if they choose, can go into these centres of population to do what we don't know . they are do what we don't know. they are free to do whatever they want . free to do whatever they want. and yes, they're only strongly encouraged , urged to come back encouraged, urged to come back by 11:00 at night. and it may be i'm sure, that the bus services
5:14 pm
stop after a certain time , but stop after a certain time, but if they don't make it back, they don't make it back. they're out in the communities. obe then potentially staying overnight. but on the you know, with regard to the accommodate ocean and the concerns about the accommodation that they're facing , the barge that they're facing, the barge has been re refurbished. we're told by the home office that, okay, they are not five, it's not five star accommodation , but not five star accommodation, but there is good standard of accommodation. there are four facilities, recreation facilities, recreation facilities such as a games room, a tv room , other facilities on a tv room, other facilities on board. we talked about the medical facilities that they'll have there as well . everything have there as well. everything really that they would need if they wanted to , to stay on board they wanted to, to stay on board that vessel. but we know that they will have the opportunity , they will have the opportunity, if they want to, to move off and, you know, they're young men that probably would get a bit bored and stir crazy just being
5:15 pm
on the barge all of the time. so they will go out and they will move about the local community how. >> now. >> indeed. look, mark, thank you very, very much. and we will continue to report on this utter lunacy tomorrow. mark wightman gb home and security gb news home and security edhon gb news home and security editor, does every single town, city, probably village in this country at the moment already have some kind of issue with, you know, young teenagers , you know, young teenagers, mostly boys. i would suggest , mostly boys. i would suggest, who don't really have any money at the moment and they've got nothing to do all day. so they hang around on their bikes smoking weed or doing whatever, maybe a bit of petty crime, just loitering around . yeah, right. loitering around. yeah, right. well, just introduced well, we've just introduced several hundred more people like that haven't portland that, haven't we, to portland and to places like weymouth. i mean, why? i mean , it's a recipe mean, why? i mean, it's a recipe for disaster. what? why why do the human rights of these people mean that it has to extend to an hourly bus service into weymouth is bonkers. i mean , it's just is bonkers. i mean, it's just madness, isn't it? why what? they've got a boat. they've got
5:16 pm
the rooms on the boat. they've got recreation facilities there, they've got food, they've got water. they entered this water. they have entered this country illegally, travelled through different safe through numerous different safe countries in many cases, we will have absolutely no idea who they are. why on earth do we have to lay on a bus service for them into a town so that they can abscond or cause trouble ? so abscond or cause trouble? so does anyone else just think this is absolutely ridiculous? vaiews@gbnews.com more on this story on our website. i am hoping , by story on our website. i am hoping, by the story on our website. i am hoping , by the way, to talk to hoping, by the way, to talk to one of the local mps for that area in just a second. frankly, i'm going to put all of this to them. think is utter them. i just think this is utter lunacy. is the lunacy. gbnews.com is the fastest growing national news website it's got website in the country. it's got the opinion the best analysis, big opinion as latest as well as all the latest breaking news. in the next breaking news. and in the next few i be few moments, i will be discussing that. but also claims that panels could be made that solar panels could be made by slave labour in china. so we've got solar panels being made by slaves . oh, great. made by slaves. oh, great. fantastic. tell me more about how we need to ethically hit our net zero targets. we've got

voting illegal voting against the illegal migration bill, supposedly any deterrent with rwanda is inhumane. people from the left don't want barges in their area because and say that because they lie and say that they like it's inhumane on they feel like it's inhumane on they feel like it's inhumane on the immigrants reality the immigrants when in reality they barge they just don't want a barge there the right there and people on the right don't a barge there because don't want a barge there because frankly, so do frankly, who would? so what do we ? we do? >> well, i'm not quite in that in that place. >> i mean, i understand why the barge is being considered as an option. >> but i have a question mark over it's whether it's over whether it's whether it's safe . safe. >> the fundamental we have >> the fundamental issue we have to with is number to deal with here is the number of come across the of boats that come across the engush of boats that come across the english channel and the government has to grasp that how. >> now. >> that's why even this evening we're expecting to be voting till very late here in the house of commons to make sure we get through the illegal immigration bill, because we're in this ping pong phase at the moment with the of lords. the house of lords. >> probably send that back >> we'll probably send that back to tonight. i suspect to the lords tonight. i suspect we might get it back again we might even get it back again before the end of the week, maybe tomorrow. the day after. before the end of the week, ma'but,omorrow. the day after. before the end of the week, ma'but, you rrow. the day after. before the end of the week, ma'but, you know, he day after. before the end of the week, ma'but, you know, we day after. before the end of the week, ma'but, you know, we are after. >> but, you know, we are resolute on the government backed we get
5:26 pm
backed benches that we will get this to help sort this bill through to help sort this bill through to help sort this . this out. >> okay. i mean, what what do you say to members of your own party who are opposing this . party who are opposing this. bill well , it's in our interest bill well, it's in our interest to support the prime minister and the government in being able to grasp this issue. >> i mean , you know, there are >> i mean, you know, there are some communities across the country that have far worse country that have been far worse affected than mine in dorset, i was talking to, i think my colleague the other day from burton on trent that has three hotels in her constituency where asylum seekers are that that clearly has had a profound impact on the community. that's not sustainable and we have to sort that out. and the government need to do that. they know that's the way to do it through this bill and that's what they're going do . what they're going to do. >> okay. all right. and what would you say to the members of the local community who say that ihave the local community who say that i have lived here all my life and i used to enjoy being able
5:27 pm
to go outside in the evenings and go about my business, and now there are 500 young men claiming to be asylum seekers roaming through the streets. and i'm not happy about that. >> we should yeah. >> we should yeah. >> patrick, we should also be clear that i am one of those people. >> west dorset is my home. >> west dorset is my home. >> i was born there, brought up there and lived think there and lived there. i think it's to note that it's just important to note that it's just important to note that it is not part of the current plan that are going to be plan that there are going to be 500 young single men roaming the streets of weymouth at any one time. that is not what is going to happen. the home office have a clear plan in place to make sure that the majority of those people on the barge and that people are on the barge and that there's structured arrangement there's a structured arrangement to be able to give those people on the barge time to go and get necessities and so on in time. so i think it would probably be wrong to suggest that you're just going to have 500 single young men walking the streets of weymouth at any one time, because that weymouth at any one time, becé happen. that will happen. >> don't believe that will >> you don't believe that will happen? right. and happen? okay. all right. and
5:28 pm
look, you concerned about look, are you concerned about the potential civil there the potential for civil there are there not going be 500? are there not going to be 500? >> there are not going >> patrick, there are not going to 500 people. to be 500 people. >> just 500 asylum seekers at any one time walking the streets of weymouth . they will, of of weymouth. they will, of course, small there course, be small groups. there is a bus is going to be a bus arrangement. i think you'll probably know that that probably know that already. that will the barge will take people from the barge to designated places where they can get there. there are goods and domestics and so on. but i can understand i very much understand the concerns of the local community about that. i went to down chickerell only last week. i've had chickerell residents here in the house of commons today, indeed to talk about it. >> would you if you had travelled across the continent tonight with a view of living in a country for the rest of your life and you got to that country and your case is and you were told your case is going to be decided in the next 180 days or however long you might be deported . here's a bus might be deported. here's a bus service that takes you from your detention centre into a town, and there is no compulsion on
5:29 pm
