they're seeing these terrible pictures of people why pictures of people fleeing. why would why would you would you go? why would you board plane? you don't to would you go? why would you bo'to plane? you don't to would you go? why would you bo'to told ane? you don't to would you go? why would you bo'to told ore? you don't to would you go? why would you bo'to told or not. u don't to be to told or not. >> and i had to live with them because saying, oh, why the foreign office upgraded the warning? to warning? well do we have to spoon people everything? spoon feed people everything? >> kind of you would >> but you kind of you would expect game. it expect the blame game. it started foreign started between the foreign office companies. each started between the foreign offiblaming companies. each started between the foreign offiblaming the :ompanies. each started between the foreign offiblaming the other.1ies. each started between the foreign offiblaming the other. well, ach started between the foreign offiblaming the other. well, sor are blaming the other. well, so joining us now is the travel editor at the sun, minnow. editor at the sun, lisa minnow. lisa us what you know and lisa tell us what you know and how do you think are how many brits do you think are still there? and are still stranded there? and are people still arriving from this country ? we well, yes. people country? we well, yes. people are still arriving from this country. you're going to have to excuse me. it's actually very windy down here in the south of france today. and i'm really struggling with the sound. so i hope hear and people hope you can hear me. and people are still arriving on the island, but british airways and easyjet running their easyjet are running all of their flights as normal. but what we have is the package tour have had is the package tour operators have cancelled of operators have cancelled all of the holidays until friday. in the holidays up until friday. in the holidays up until friday. in the of tui and up until the case of tui and up until sunday, in the case of jet2 and

tui customers that were going to hotels in the affected areas. what they're doing is they're running out there with empty flights bringing flights and then bringing everybody will be everybody back. tomorrow will be the for jet2 in the biggest day for jet2 in terms of their program. would have numbers of people have had huge numbers of people going to rhodes. they're no going out to rhodes. they're no longer going, but they're still running the so that they running the flights so that they can people back. it is can bring people back. and it is a very fast moving situation. but think to be put but i think it has to be put into perspective. is only into perspective. this is only about of the total about 10 to 15% of the total accommodation across rhodes. so, yes , images very scary, yes, the images are very scary, but there's plenty parts of but there's plenty of parts of rhodes are actually rhodes where things are actually fine. yeah, and lisa, what about this idea of airlines still flying people in there? >> i guess if people are willing to spend money to go on holiday to spend money to go on holiday to rhodes, they they're not stupid. they see stupid. they can see for themselves the images on tv. they read the newspapers they can read the newspapers here on the radio. so if there's a service, why shouldn't the airlines run the flights? i guess they'd say , well, that's guess they'd say, well, that's exactly it. >> and the reason why we have this debate over the foreign and commonwealth office is because that advising against all but

essential travel, that's the trigger to stop your travel insurance valid. and insurance being valid. and it would that airlines would would mean that airlines would cancel flights . the government cancel flights. the government have that they have not gone that far. they haven't advised against all but essential travel. and why essential travel. and that's why holidaymakers will continue to travel rhodes if they travel to rhodes if they want to. is concerning, was to. what is concerning, as was reported times this reported in the times this morning, up to 30,000 people morning, was up to 30,000 people are due be travelling in the are due to be travelling in the next of months to those next couple of months to those hotels in the impacted areas. some of those hotels are going to and running again to be up and running again pretty others going pretty soon. others are going to take a longer to get take quite a lot longer to get themselves up and running. themselves back up and running. and we've and that's another case we've got is the people got coming out is the people that due to be going out and that are due to be going out and what's going to happen to their holidays forward. lisa, holidays going forward. lisa, a lot are who on lot of people are who are on houday lot of people are who are on holiday are complaining that they're taken care of they're not being taken care of by travel company. is there by the travel company. is there was woman, one of the papers was one woman, one of the papers day saying she had to walk six miles and miles with her family. and there's no one from the travel company around. company anywhere around. are there like that there lots more people like that who like they've been who feel like they've been abandoned i can understand abandoned or i can understand that in this situation, you

know, it must have been absolutely terrifying. this beach i'm sitting next to at the moment , we beach i'm sitting next to at the moment, we had wildfires here five years ago, and i spent two nights on that beach after we were all evacuated to the beach off the campsite. i'm off of the campsite. i'm currently was currently staying on. it was terrifying. didn't know terrifying. and we didn't know what on. we very what was going on. we had very little information. i think little information. but i think in such a moving in a such a fast moving situation, had the situation, we had over the weekend and you've got local authorities with it. authorities dealing with it. they're saying evacuate they're the ones saying evacuate now and wouldn't have now. and it just wouldn't have been for a tour been practical for a tour operator to have contacted every single person they thought single person that they thought could impacted this could be impacted by this because just know. because they just didn't know. and obviously, yes, people are to going be very upset by that. but i do think that the tour operators, after a bit of a slow start, have really been exemplary in terms of making sure people been sure that people have been looked after and, you know, really cancelling of really by cancelling all of those holidays have for those holidays they have for this , it's given them this next week, it's given them a space. it's a bit of breathing space. it's meant they have been able meant that they have been able to then put the customers, the hotels were evacuated hotels that were evacuated back into hotels that were into other hotels that were perhaps ones would have had perhaps ones that would have had other they other holidaymakers in. so they have best have done their best repatriation flights are going

out moment to get people out at the moment to get people home. is really a home. and it just is really a very difficult, fast moving situation. and i think they are trying as hard as they can. >> the greek prime minister has warned another three days. i don't know how he knows don't quite know how he knows that he's long term that unless he's seen long term weather what is he, a weather forecasts. what is he, a necromance a three days. necromance? a three more days. i mean, could five. could mean, it could be five. it could be three lisa we just be three weeks. lisa we just don't . don't know. >> but i think what it is, is that they do know that the winds are going hopefully at are going to drop. hopefully at some we've still some point. we've still got these high temperatures, some point. we've still got thesthe high temperatures, some point. we've still got thesthe windsh temperatures, some point. we've still got thesthe winds hopefullytures, some point. we've still got thesthe winds hopefully will., but the winds hopefully will drop as can see here, these drop. as you can see here, these were winds here. and what were high winds here. and what fanned the five years ago fanned the flames five years ago in south of france. and we in the south of france. and we saw destroyed and, saw campsites destroyed and, you know, and hundreds know, hundreds and hundreds of acres as acres of forest destroyed as well. you just don't know acres of forest destroyed as welwind you just don't know acres of forest destroyed as welwind changes don't know acres of forest destroyed as welwind changes direction ow acres of forest destroyed as welwind changes direction and the wind changes direction and all sudden, the problem is all of a sudden, the problem is in another direction. think in another direction. i think the authorities the greek authorities did everything could everything they could and actually greek did actually the greek people did everything to help everything they could to help holidaymakers had lots holidaymakers. and you had lots of of , you know, greek of stories of, you know, greek people going above beyond to people going above and beyond to make sure that they're helping those stranded holidaymakers . those stranded holidaymakers. and incredible,

and that's what's incredible, isn't they're the isn't it? because they're the people going to lose the people who are going to lose the most losing their most here. they're losing their businesses. they're losing a whole business, and whole summer of business, and yet taking of yet they're taking care of british tourists and all tourists. fact . yeah exactly tourists. in fact. yeah exactly right. i mean, you have to remember that tourism represents 25% of the greek gdp . 1 in 25% of the greek gdp. 1 in 5 people in in greece are employed in the tourism industry. for them, this is going to be absolutely devastating. you know, businesses, livelihoods lost. really is lost. and so it really is something we have to consider, as as the fact that, yes, a as well as the fact that, yes, a houday as well as the fact that, yes, a holiday there has been holiday makers there has been some for some horrendous times for people. but i really feel for the greek people at the moment trying to deal with this unprecedented absolutely. >> thank you for >> well, lisa, thank you for joining lisa monaco, >> well, lisa, thank you for joini is lisa monaco, >> well, lisa, thank you for joini is the lisa monaco, >> well, lisa, thank you for joini is the sun's lisa monaco, >> well, lisa, thank you for joini is the sun's travel/ionaco, >> well, lisa, thank you for joini is the sun's travel editor�*, who is the sun's travel editor who's in the south of france. i've got to say, carol, some of the papers are describing it. it's like the dunkirk spirit , it's like the dunkirk spirit, the doing the local people doing everything they could to help the holidaymakers, is the holidaymakers, which is astonishing think, as astonishing when you think, as you lisa, they're ones you said, lisa, they're the ones who lose the most here. >> and i just think i mean, one

hotel hotelier described this as a biblical catastrophe , and a biblical catastrophe, and that's exactly what it looks like here, doesn't it? >> and some these hotels will >> and some of these hotels will be razed to the ground. we're talking foster talking to arlene foster yesterday, presenter yesterday, gb news presenter that she showed those lovely pictures restaurant and that she showed those lovely piwases restaurant and that she showed those lovely piwas gone restaurant and that she showed those lovely piwas gone within;taurant and that she showed those lovely piwas gone within withint and that she showed those lovely piwas gone within within hours, it was gone within within hours, gone. >> but you know what amazes me is brits are still going is brits who are still going i mean, there should some mean, there should be some advice now for brits advice out there now for brits planning tomorrow or planning to go tomorrow or the next the day after. don't go. >> we don't have to spoon feed. but for carol, they can make their own decisions. don't need their own decisions. don't need the foreign office to us the foreign office to tell us what can can't do. what we can and can't do. >> think what a lot of people >> i think what a lot of people the will be, they've the problem will be, they've paid their they've paid for their holiday. they've saved all year round for saved them all year round for it. suddenly they're it. and then suddenly they're told can't they told they can't go and they don't know the legal implications. they get the implications. do they get the money implications. do they get the mo but it's a big island. and >> but it's a big island. and if, as lisa was pointing out, lots of completely lots of it completely unaffected. mark weitzer is our home editor. home security editor. >> very point. i was >> it's a very point. i was going to make little going to make a little perspective. yes. yes of course. there a devastating central there is a devastating central portion that's there is a devastating central porticvery that's there is a devastating central porticvery affected, s there is a devastating central porticvery affected, ed, by

been very badly affected, ed, by these wildfires and some hotels that been badly that have been badly damaged, villages badly villages that have been badly affected but actually affected as well. but actually about 85% the island is about 80, 85% of the island is completely untouched. yet they see a bit of smoke. it might be unpleasant at times if the wind shifts in direction, but all of the main tourist resorts where the main tourist resorts where the vast majority of the tourist sites are, are largely unaffected by this. so this is why you're still seeing carriers like easyjet taking people into the country because they can still enjoy a quality holiday in an area that's completely unaffected. >> but is there not a fear, mark, that the fire will move to an area and potentially affected? >> potentially, of course. and that's what we saw with the evacuations over the weekend, is that there was areas that weren't really affected then the wind shifted and then within a matter of hours , they were under matter of hours, they were under threat and then an evacuation happened. but it's a big island . those main resorts are far enough away that, yes , if there enough away that, yes, if there was a shift, the flames started

feeding up towards those areas. there would be plenty time to get people out and to evacuate . get people out and to evacuate. i think, you know, in the islands tourism authority understandably , they are keen to understandably, they are keen to get the visitors back in. but they're saying, look, it's safe for the vast majority of the island area around there . it's island area around there. it's safe. and that's why people are still coming in. and that's why the foreign office hasn't published. we're taking a calculate weighted risk at the end of i mean, the foreign office bit of a office has had a bit of a clobbering over the past two days because tour operators are attacking the foreign office, saying, all saying, you know, they'd all gone weekend gone home for the weekend and didn't putting didn't bother putting out warnings. i think that's completely because these completely unfair because these fires only really broke out last wednesday. then only wednesday. really, then only became issue terms of became a major issue in terms of the intensity of the fires. by about thursday . friday. well, about thursday. friday. well, the home office teams flew out then on the saturday and were there on the ground on the sunday. so i think the response was in time with a was perfectly in time with a developing situation and all they're ever there to do anyway is actually to act as liaison

between those holidaymakers who are having to cut their holidays short, who are finding it difficult to get on some of the flights back and trying to facilitate their their travel back. but to be fair to the tour companies and the airlines as well, after a sluggish start, again , they're all gearing up, again, they're all gearing up, deaung again, they're all gearing up, dealing with what is an unfolding situation . they're unfolding situation. they're putting on more planes. there are plenty of aircraft now that are plenty of aircraft now that are flying in there. some of them with very few passengers, some of them empty to take those as passengers who've had to cut their holiday short to come back. if people do decide to cancel and they're too worried about it, i mean, the legal situation they get situation is they can't get their back, aren't they? their money back, aren't they? well the airline well it depends on the airline and depends the and it depends on the circumstances. you if circumstances. you know, if there's area that is largely there's an area that is largely unaffected, i mean, some of the airlines. yes. are offering refunds or a change of date or location or whatever the best advice is, check with your tour operator or airline. it would be you know, i can't really give a

sort of an overarching assessment because they all differ. >> but mark, just personally, if you were due to fly off to wrote on friday or saturday, would you still be going? >> i'd go, yeah, as long as as long the resort was you know, long as the resort was you know, a fair bit away from where the bulk of the fire fighting activities are , which seems to activities are, which seems to be in the central part of the island. so same with corfu. we had some fires there and apparently those fires were started by arsonists . and there started by arsonists. and there have been a number of arrests. and in relation to this, but then over the weekend and saturday into sunday, there was some very real concern about the flames . and that was really more flames. and that was really more to do with the smoke that was going over resorts. so as a precaution, you had an evacuation of some of the resorts , but within half a day resorts, but within half a day they were filtering back into those resorts again . so it's, those resorts again. so it's, you know , it's probably a bit you know, it's probably a bit different in corfu . the results different in corfu. the results

were a bit nearer the flames . were a bit nearer the flames. but there's a big, big part. were a bit nearer the flames. but there's a big, big part . and but there's a big, big part. and the majority, actually, of the island of rhodes, the main tourist areas that are unaffected . so it's easy to sort unaffected. so it's easy to sort of get on and, you know, all of the catastrophes asian about how this island has been absolutely decimated. well part of it has. >> but thank god nobody's majority of it hasn't. thank god nobody's been badly hurt. >> mark, thanks for coming. that's who's our that's matt white, who's our home editor. now, the home security editor. now, the government is planning relax government is planning to relax planning heard planning rules. haven't we heard this deliver not just this before? to deliver not just more up more housing, but to speed up development projects across the country? carol oh, it's you know, i keep on thinking i forget the prime minister has written in the times this morning saying there is no alternative to building more homes . homes. >> this is despite one of his mps yesterday calling his plans nonsense . nonsense. >> well, joining us is the property expert, russell. russell, morning to you. property housing is rapidly moving up the political agenda. the michael gove, the housing secretary, the levelling up

secretary, the levelling up secretary is touring the studios today, including our own here on gb news, saying that the government are on target. they're going to build all these houses, 1 million in the houses, 1 million houses in the lifetime of this parliament wasn't very good at answering whether that would be 1 million completion or 1 million starts. completion or1 million starts. this >> yeah, and there is a big difference. of course, you know, starts are literally just a starts are literally just a start a spreadsheet rather start on a spreadsheet rather than something that people can actually live in. sadiq khan is very good manipulating very, very good at manipulating figures where london housing delivery is concerned and conflating starts with actual completions . but actually completions. but actually regardless, andrew, the fact is that the government had previously set out that their own self—imposed target for new builds was 300,000 homes per annum. now the life of a parliament is five years, a million houses is. parliament is five years, a million houses is . that's million houses is. that's basically 200,000 homes that they've delivered. so they're way off their previous targets. so the fact that they're celebrating this across tv studios and the press as michael

gove is over the last couple of days, is bewilder ring to me. they're effectively celebrating their failure to deliver on their failure to deliver on their own target, a target of course, as you well know, andrew and carol, they've just completely done away with. so now there is no direction . there now there is no direction. there is no goal. there is no target for local authorities, planners and developers to adhere to because the conservative party, in their wisdom , have done away in their wisdom, have done away with the 300,000 target altogether . altogether. >> what do you make and what do you make of labour's pledge if you're up to speed with that? russell they're going to build 400,000 social homes. they say. and of course the tories have pointed that the national pointed out that the national house federation say house building federation say that would be £183,000 per house, £74 billion. where's that money coming from? and do you do you buy it? >> so no , no, definitely don't. >> so no, no, definitely don't. lisa nandy is regurgitated this. this is something that she talks about. at labour conference last yeah about. at labour conference last year. and as you've alluded to really in your preamble, you know, housing is a very, very important subject for all of us.

you , for particularly would you know, for particularly would be time buyers and for the be first time buyers and for the private rental so private rental sector. so therefore, politicians of all political flavours kicked this around like a political football. so they talk about how important is . that's why important it is. and that's why we rhetoric and the we see the rhetoric and the headunes we see the rhetoric and the headlines that we constantly do buy. all these politicians, buy. all of these politicians, particularly as we get closer and closer election time. but and closer to election time. but this 400,000 social homes to be built to try and get the private rental sector to become second place to social housing. so in other words, the labour policy is to ensure that subsidised housing takes precedence over private sector housing. so not only should some of us have a bit of a political issue with that, you know, some would say perhaps that that's more housing for shirkers, that's what some would say. but the financial bill is far more than 70 or £80 billion, frankly, andrew, because that doesn't account for the land cost. so by my reckoning , this is about £150 reckoning, this is about £150 billion of uncosted spending

pledge by the labour party just to grab a headline . to grab a headline. >> this is par for the course with the labour though, isn't it? >> well, there'll be a u—turn, russell. we haven't got time to carry on the conversation, which is a pity. that's russell quote property expert. those figures, of say the of course. labour say the figures the birds, but figures are for the birds, but they're national house they're from the national house building federation, which they're from the national house buildinghavearation, which they're from the national house buildinghavearation in'hich they're from the national house buildinghavearation in the| they're from the national house buildinghavearation in the fight politically. >> i know. it'sjust it's >> i know. it's just it's astonishing. i mean, labour >> i know. it's just it's ast(always]. i mean, labour >> i know. it's just it's ast(always puttingmean, labour >> i know. it's just it's ast(always putting out n, labour >> i know. it's just it's ast(always putting out uncosted are always putting out uncosted policies and then have to row back it later. policies and then have to row bactheyit later. policies and then have to row bacthey go ater. policies and then have to row bacthey go on'. policies and then have to row bacthey go on about is this >> they go on about is this thing to with non—doms. but thing to do with non—doms. but they've that money they've spent that money about 50 the waste of money 50 times over the waste of money than, know, the future of than, you know, the future of natwest chief executive is still hanging in balance . nigel hanging in the balance. nigel farage baying blood farage still baying for blood because the bank is under pressure to reveal the identity of what was described as the senior source , who told the bbc senior source, who told the bbc in accurate facts about nigel farage's financial status, which they shouldn't have discussed in any form anyway. >> no, of course. of course. the bbc yesterday apologised to the gb presenter over a report gb news presenter over a report that claimed his bank account at

talk now to the travel agent, miles morgan, joins us from miles morgan, who joins us from athens greece, just athens in greece, which is just well, you're not very far too many islands away from roads, miles, good morning . if miles, are you? good morning. if you advising your clients , you were advising your clients, would you tell them to get on a plane and go to rhodes on houday plane and go to rhodes on holiday or to corfu? miles >> well, sadly, the position for a lot of our guests is they can't travel this week . the can't travel this week. the majority of holiday companies , majority of holiday companies, whilst they're still flying planes out to the island, they're not actually taking any passengers. they're actually just flying the planes out so they can people back they can bring people back either their standard 7 or either from their standard 7 or 14 night holiday or actually people that want to fly back early. you know, early. so, you know, the situation this week situation for this week is fairly clear for for next fairly clear for as for next week, i think time will tell. you mentioned just you know, as you mentioned just now, is some confidence on now, there is some confidence on the you know, the the island. and, you know, the local i'm getting local information i'm getting from are actually from people that are actually staying is things staying out there is that things really are nowhere near bad staying out there is that things reéthe are nowhere near bad staying out there is that things reéthe pictures.are near bad staying out there is that things reéthe pictures. obviously, bad as the pictures. obviously, people can see on their screens now with a number of people i know returning their hotels know returning to their hotels on coast, they were on the east coast, they were actually couple

actually evacuated just a couple of that's interesting, isn't it? >> that's interesting, isn't it? because we were just saying mars. there's lots of mixed messages. and yes , we're all messages. and yes, we're all showing, know, these showing, you know, these terrible pictures. but it's terrible pictures. but but it's interesting that people like you on ground are telling us interesting that people like you on notground are telling us interesting that people like you on not asund are telling us interesting that people like you on not as bad.ire telling us interesting that people like you on not as bad. andelling us interesting that people like you on not as bad. and song us interesting that people like you on not as bad. and so yous it's not as bad. and so you would advise people to go to still go? >> no, they can't travel this week. but i think for anybody that's to go next week that's going to go next week potentially rhodes, i would potentially to rhodes, i would be saying them, sit tight for be saying to them, sit tight for the moment. think we're the moment. i think we're optimistic that things will be fine next as you fine for next week as you rightly say, winds can change direction and things can change the forecast is also, the weather forecast is also, i think slightly on our side. so i think slightly on our side. so i think the temperatures are going think slightly on our side. so i thireduce temperatures are going think slightly on our side. so i thireduce headingtures are going think slightly on our side. so i thireduce heading into are going think slightly on our side. so i thireduce heading into this going to reduce heading into this weekend that will weekend and obviously that will help as well. help the firefighters as well. but as you said earlier, you know, you're in london and know, if you're in london and you cancel to you had your holiday cancel to brighton because of a fire in london, you'd probably scratch your little bit. the your head a little bit. the question what the reason was question is what the reason was for that. question is what the reason was for and. question is what the reason was for and some people watching and >> and some people watching and listening, miles, will think, well, this, i hear it well, i hear this, i hear it might be getting better, but i'm still bit so i really still a bit nervous. so i really

don't i do want to fly out don't think i do want to fly out on sunday to rhodes. if they withdraw foreign withdraw and there's no foreign office not to go, do they office advice not to go, do they then lose their money? miles that's the way it stands with the majority of holiday companies. >> i think from what i've seen so far, a lot of the holiday companies are taking a reasonably flexible approach. so by the letter of the law, you're absolutely i think at absolutely right. but i think at the end of the day, this is people's holidays. nobody wants the end of the day, this is pe send; holidays. nobody wants the end of the day, this is pe send somebody nobody wants the end of the day, this is pe send somebody somewhere.ts the end of the day, this is pe send somebody somewhere. they to send somebody somewhere. they absolutely don't want to go, but they're about they absolutely don't want to go, but they'rit's about they absolutely don't want to go, but they'rit's dangerous. out they absolutely don't want to go, but they'rit's dangerous. but they think it's dangerous. but equally, the foreign office advice there advise the advice is there to advise the houday advice is there to advise the holiday and equally , holiday companies and equally, they have people on the ground all those and so all over those islands. and so they know potentially the north is completely unaffected . the is completely unaffected. the east be slightly east coast may be slightly there, the people on the ground and actually the people and actually they're the people we trust because they we put our trust in because they absolutely going on. absolutely know what's going on. they not their they also know it's not in their interest people to interest to send people to somewhere could potentially somewhere that could potentially be the reason be dangerous. hence the reason why nobody's going why this week nobody's going out. miles, if people do want out. so miles, if people do want to go and they do decide to go, what's way for them to what's the best way for them to get information out

get information, to find out what like where they are? what it's like where they are? >> a lot people are >> because a lot of people are saying they can't get in touch with the tour companies. >> i if booked >> i think if you booked a package holiday, then obviously >> i think if you booked a pacidown oliday, then obviously >> i think if you booked a pacidown anday, then obviously >> i think if you booked a pacidown and see 1en obviously >> i think if you booked a pacidown and see your bviously >> i think if you booked a pacidown and see your travelly pop down and see your travel agent. enough to agent. if you're lucky enough to have through a travel have booked through a travel agent contact holiday agent or contact your holiday company, would give company, the advice i would give them the holiday companies them is the holiday companies are not in the it's not in their interest send people interest to send people to somewhere totally somewhere that is totally unsuitable . if you look at unsuitable. and if you look at what's on, particularly on what's gone on, particularly on roads, is the east roads, you know, it is the east coast been particularly coast that's been particularly affected . as mentioned, affected. but as i mentioned, friends mine have actually friends of mine have actually returned to their returned yesterday to their houday returned yesterday to their holiday on the east coast and they could see some of they could see some plumes of clouds and smoke in the distance. but actually their hotel absolutely fine and hotel was absolutely fine and they're enjoying their holiday today having wonderful today and having a wonderful time. today and having a wonderful timyou're in athens, miles, one >> you're in athens, miles, one of favourite cities. despite of my favourite cities. despite the , is there is there the traffic, is there is there much consternation there because of the damage this do to the of the damage this may do to the greek industry ? because greek tourist industry? because we know it's a huge , hugely we know it's a huge, hugely important to the greek economy. what is it, 20 to 25% of gdp or something? is tourism. >> you know , it's actually

>> you know, it's actually relatively quiet. the news for this story, it's interesting seeing , you know, obviously, seeing, you know, obviously, i seeing, you know, obviously, i see the headlines on the in the uk papers, but actually the news over relatively low over here, it's relatively low key because think what you key because i think what you need remember there are need to remember is there are fires on islands almost fires on the islands almost every without fail. every single year without fail. this particular one is a particularly significant one, but it is an incident that happens very, very regularly. they're very used to handling this sort of situation. it is a severe one. let's be honest. we've seen that from the pictures. but i've every confidence will on confidence that they will get on top because that's what top of it because that's what they do in these islands. >> do. that's morgan. >> they do. that's miles morgan. thanks us from thanks for joining us from athens. course, you shouldn't athens. of course, you shouldn't forget that the fourth forget that rhodes is the fourth or island to it's or third biggest island to it's 850 so lot of island, 850 miles. so a lot of island, isn't it? >> is it is. it's interesting what he's saying there that the people greek people people there, the greek people aren't about it. aren't that worried about it. maybe yes. because maybe it's because. yes. because it every year at it happens every single year at and know they've said already and we know they've said already that it was caused by that in corfu it was caused by arson . arson. >> yeah. if all people rush to say it's all climate change and global. well we tried we

global. well we tried to we tried to that yesterday to tried to say that yesterday to someone was talking to us someone who was talking to us about change. about climate change. >> weren't having it. >> and they weren't having it. no, weren't. no, they no, they weren't. no, they weren't. we're weren't. okay. mina. so we're going sunak says the going to be rishi sunak says the tories weigh up consumer tories will weigh up consumer costs against the to meet costs against the need to meet net zero emissions. >> and this is all in the fallout from the by—election last week in boris johnson . so last week in boris johnson. so we'll see on uxbridge, where the conservatives won unexpectedly . conservatives won unexpectedly. i wasn't too surprised actually, because there was big backlash because there was a big backlash against sadiq khan's ultra low emission zone expansion. >> and we were hearing about it when we a couple of days before when we a couple of days before when we a couple of days before when we were hearing that it wasn't done thing for older wasn't a done thing for older polluting wasn't a done thing for older polandg wasn't a done thing for older poland every other the third >> and every other the third doon >> and every other the third door, labour candidate door, every labour candidate knocked the door knocked on, they got the door slammed face because slammed in their face because people it. so the housing people hated it. so the housing secretary, michael gove, is talking about net zero today. he says he's planning delay says he's planning to delay plans to ban landlords from renting out properties unless they pay to increase their energy efficiency until at least 2028. he's also said we must not

allow the green agenda to be turned into a religious crusade. well joining us now is the deputy editor of spiked online, fraser myers. funny that phrase, because it felt like a religious crusade started by boris johnson when he was prime minister >> yeah, that's true . there is >> yeah, that's true. there is always a kind of religious zeal around the climate issue. boris johnson was talking about the doomsday clock being set in motion by the industrial revolution . there is very much revolution. there is very much a sense in discussions around climate change that we need to live more pure , eco friendly live more pure, eco friendly lifestyles, that we need to give up luxuries, things that we enjoy travelling, good food, hot, warm homes , things like hot, warm homes, things like that. so there's definitely a religious element to it. and i think michael gove is right to pick up on that and it's interesting that we're finally seeing bit of rebellion seeing a bit of a rebellion against policies from the against these policies from the public. uxbridge is public. i think uxbridge is really just the beginning against ulez as punishing as ulez is, that's only a tiny portion of the net zero agenda.

the climate change committee, which advises the government on climate change, says that, you know, the vast, vast majority of net zero is not going to come from shiny new wind farms or new nuclear power stations. it's going to come from what they call euphemistically behaviour change and individual choice. now let's be honest, that's not going to be voluntary free choice. they're going to make us they're going to force us to make eco friendly choices through taxes and bans and restrictions. so really , this is restrictions. so really, this is just the beginning of the net zero project that we're seeing . zero project that we're seeing. and so surely the public backlash can only get bigger. >> but fraser, it looks like rishi sunak is rowing back on a lot of the policies that he was going to impose. he said yesterday that he doesn't want to hassle families with net zero targets. this is, this is kind of unexpected isn't it. we didn't expect this of him. yeah it is unexpected because there has been this kind of

cross—party consensus in favour of everything green . of everything green. >> there's been almost a kind of a omerta, you know, it's been you've been forbidden from having a debate around climate change because people will say, well , you know, the science is well, you know, the science is settled , so be quiet. but settled, so be quiet. but really, when it comes to implementing policies to deal with climate change, that is political because it involves, you know, it involves taxes, it involves changes economy involves changes to the economy . hits different people , . it hits different people, different groups, harder than others . all of the green others. all of the green policies hit the poorest harder. it's very telling that all of the just stop oil. people are very posh with their strange double barrelled names. very posh with their strange double barrelled names . you double barrelled names. you don't see many working class people blocking roads and traffic. you tend to see sort of retired vicars and buskers, working people at work. >> fraser yeah, but isn't this about isn't this about, you know, zac goldsmith resigned because he said sunak was uninsured , trusted in the uninsured, trusted in the environment. and the thing is he probably is, but what he is interested in is winning the next election. this is what

next election. and this is what he thinks might swing it, isn't it? >> yeah, that's right. and i think it could . well, you saw in think it could. well, you saw in uxbndge think it could. well, you saw in uxbridge , for instance, you uxbridge, for instance, you know, the tories who were being absolutely pounded in the other two by elections in the same evening, you know, losing by more than 20 points, 20 point swing against them. in both other cases. and yet they managed to cling on by opposing the whether this can be the ulez whether this can be replicated across the country is a different question because there was a very specific measure there that the tories were opposing. but i do think that whichever government comes in and starts imposing these climate measures , they're going climate measures, they're going to find themselves in trouble. there have been all kinds of rebellions across europe against climate from the climate measures from the legions protesting against president macron that really started with a green tax. there's a huge revolt in the netherlands from farmers who are having their farms closed down to net targets. so to meet net zero targets. so anyone who thinks that it's this is just a blip, that uxbridge is just a blip is really wrongheaded. i think this could

be a good issue for the tories to campaign on or for party. to campaign on or for any party. you know, isn't labour you know, why isn't labour standing to these? well, what standing up to these? well, what we've seen a wobble, haven't we, from the famous wobbler himself, keir king the keir starmer, the king of the u—turn, shadow cabinet, was u—turn, who shadow cabinet, was unhedin u—turn, who shadow cabinet, was united in favour of the ultra low emission zone expansion and never raised any objections. >> and it wasn't until they saw they might lose the by—election and then in fact lost it that he's now saying to sadiq khan, the labour mayor of london, you may have again. may have to think again. shameless opportunism even by keir standards . keir starmer standards. >> oh, well, yes , exactly. you >> oh, well, yes, exactly. you have no idea what keir starmer is going to say from one week to another. you know, gone from being a saying he was going to turn the labour logo into in green. you know, he wanted to be the greenest prime minister even the greenest prime minister ever. shadow chancellor says she wants to be the greenest shadow chancellor they've chancellor ever. now they've rowed a lot of their rowed back on a lot of their green he was even green policies, he was even rumoured to have said, i hate tree recently he's tried tree huggers recently he's tried to make noises against just stop

oil, recognising that people are getting annoyed. so clearly , you getting annoyed. so clearly, you know, the public message is getting through to keir starmer , whether that makes any difference or not in the long run is hard to tell because it seems like labour is kind of institutionally green . i think institutionally green. i think they see the environment as a kind of religious crusade, as michael gove was alluding to . michael gove was alluding to. they flirted with becoming the party of just stop oil. so who knows? you never know. when keir starmer says something , you have starmer says something, you have to take it with a huge brazier was it you who said, because i think i wrote a piece on this spike the other day that said he's done 16 u—turns in the three and a bit years he's become since he became leader. >> sound about right ? >> does that sound about right? >> does that sound about right? >> i don't know if you >> i mean, i don't know if you could put a finger on it. could even put a finger on it. i mean, there's probably been more while we've had this conversation. yeah probably been two, two. conversation. yeah probably been toneah two. conversation. yeah probably been toneah . two. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i think he he is clearly the most unprincipled leader out there. and it's funny because he

doesn't even he often doesn't even row back to a kind of middle ground to a compromise decision. he often turns his head completely 180 degrees. yeah. so you know, it's on the trans issue, whether it's on tuition fees, whether it's on benefits , there is absolutely benefits, there is absolutely nothing you can pin this man down on. >> all right, fraser , great to >> all right, fraser, great to talk to you. fraser myers, deputy head of spartan line. he can't distance himself from boy because taken £1.5 million. because he's taken £1.5 million. of from dale of course he has from dale vince, bankrolls just off. vince, who bankrolls just off. >> do you remember? he wanted three years he wanted a three years ago. he wanted a nationalise. everything and then three years ago. he wanted a n.yearalise. everything and then three years ago. he wanted a n.year ago, everything and then three years ago. he wanted a n.year ago, he erything and then three years ago. he wanted a n.year ago, he said ing and then three years ago. he wanted a n.year ago, he said he and then three years ago. he wanted a n.year ago, he said he wants1en three years ago. he wanted a n.year ago, he said he wants the a year ago, he said he wants the nationalised not anything. >> there was going to be a £28 billion investment green billion investment in a green bank. >> e’- >> no, no, no. >> no, no, no. >> no more tuition fees. they were going. they going? were going. or are they going? i can't remember. were going. or are they going? i canyou've�*mber. shut up now. >> you've got to shut up now. >> you've got to shut up now. >> i've got it's my to you get the autocue. >> well yeah, because you've got the there. okay. still to the thing there. okay. still to come, 30 old charlotte come, 30 year old charlotte hammond the hammond was introduced to the house lords yesterday. is house of lords yesterday. but is 30 too young? >> yes. >> yes. >> this is britain's newsroom on gb news, people's channel, gb news, the people's channel, with pierce.

to gbnews.com on tv, radio and onune to gbnews.com on tv, radio and online gb news. britain's news. channel you with andrew and carole malone here on gb news. >> now we want to talk to you about the house of lords because yesterday a young filly. am i allowed to say that? >> you can't say that she was ennobled yesterday as baroness owen of alderley edge, aged 30 last week, ross kempson so you used to work for boris johnson as did she was ennobled in the house of lords aged 31. >> we're asking is 30 a bit young to be a member of the house of lords, which after all, is a revising chamber , are there is a revising chamber, are there to improve the stuff that comes out of the commons. and let's face it, it shouldn't be difficult stuff difficult to improve stuff coming out of the commons. she's

charlotte own by way. we're charlotte own by the way. we're going lord mann, john going to talk to lord mann, john mann, was mp for mann, who was a labour mp for many who is a comfortably many years, who is a comfortably over 30. he's i think over the age of 30. he's i think i think checked. i think you're closer to 62 or 63, you're closer to 62 or 63, john. you're closer to 62 or 63, john. you're closer to 62 or 63, john. you're closer to my age. tell me what okay. what is a view of you and your colleagues is i'm sure she's and very clever she's very nice and very clever , as is ross kempsell a bit young, aren't they ? young, aren't they? >> well, i thought i was one of the babies of the house in the lords . and you could call me lords. and you could call me andrew. a young lamb for the for the lords . or perhaps something the lords. or perhaps something worse . but that's kind of not worse. but that's kind of not that untrue to i'm one of the younger ones as you are. and this is quite a change. i've got no objection specifically to, to charlotte owing on her age. i think it does though highlight kind of this question that has always been dumped by every prime minister in my lifetime .

prime minister in my lifetime. what's the purpose of the house of lords ? and what they would of lords? and what they would say is, well , it's to of lords? and what they would say is, well, it's to bring of lords? and what they would say is, well , it's to bring in say is, well, it's to bring in this great experience of wise people and their wisdom helps to improve legislation. and certainly i've seen some evidence of that that clearly doesn't fit with putting in much younger people who don't bring experience . they will bring experience. they will bring ideas and enthusiasm and energy , but not experience when it comes to legislation and the wording of legislation . wording of legislation. >> i think john can forward when we move to an elected house of lords to be honest, i think it just edges a bit nearer, for better or for worse . better or for worse. >> yes, there are arguments both ways , but certainly this makes ways, but certainly this makes it think that little bit likelier. now when you've got people, there's two of them. there's a 31 year old lad in as well. yeah. you know, clearly it's not their experience. it's their ideas. it's their

enthusiasm that they'll be contributing . and it will alter, contributing. and it will alter, i think , a little bit about how i think, a little bit about how the house of lords sees itself actually . ironically, though, actually. ironically, though, it's not the aim that might be for the better . for the better. >> carol i was going to say. but what is the reaction of your colleagues? are they being polite behind the their ermine? john are they are they chuckling? i mean , i heard some chuckling? i mean, i heard some words described as staggering that there's two of them , that there's two of them, combined age of 62, when some of your colleagues in the house of lords, john, are legislating in their late 80s. in fact, i think 1 2 of you are in the 90s and 1 or 2 of you are in the 90s and there's 1 or 2 who probably should retire to create a bit more space. >> so think i think five are retiring today is the latest list i've seen . um, i and list i've seen. um, i and i don't believe there should be an age limit but there's an awful lot who don't come in because they're too old an awful lot.

i'd say probably around 200 who ought to be retired because they're not contributing . i they're not contributing. i think really what we should be doing and the house of lords should be doing is just thinking through what is our role . our through what is our role. our role isn't to overturn in the government of the day on blocking legislation even where we fundamentally disagree with it. our role is to help out governments to improve their legislation , to stop them legislation, to stop them cocking it up , whether it's cocking it up, whether it's deliberate or inadvertently, and that's what the house of lords has been good at. what's the point of a bit of law if it doesn't work ? i think that's doesn't work? i think that's what the role should be. but i do think there needs to be some change. my change, by the way, to begin with, would be to limit the time period you're in. you know, be it 15 years. that's what seems to be suggested. you know. so you're in for 15 years, whether you're elected in the

future or appoint now, rather than being for life, it's clearly not sensible for this poor young woman. john can i can i ask you kind of perpetrates the myth, doesn't it, that that that honours are now given out as baubles to people that ex—prime ministers like and party leaders like ? and that's party leaders like? and that's not that's not good that that is not that's not good that that is not popular out there. i can tell you . and they don't care tell you. and they don't care which prime minister it is the idea of patronage isn't popular and whoever is prime minister in the future, whether it's still mr sunak or mr starmer or whoever else , they're going to whoever else, they're going to have this problem because every time they appoint anyone, for whatever reason , patronage will whatever reason, patronage will be the allegation , then i think be the allegation, then i think that system needs to be overhauled and i suspect at some stage soon one of them will jump at it . oh, it's a nice

at it. oh, it's a nice distraction. you know, there's politicians love nothing more than talking about politicians. you could spend years sorting this out and andrew, you'd love to be interviewing over the penod to be interviewing over the period of time. you know , period of time. you know, pointing out all the inconsistent agencies. it's kind of it's my it's my and your kind of it's my it's my and your kind of thing. it is. that's why i think i'd have done it if that was if i was rishi sunak given them a distraction that might end up better. i think if it's sir keir starmer, he might think, do i need all this legislate and the risk of losing votes or shall fill up fill up their inbox with reform of the house of lords, i'd say watch this space and these young, these young lords and ladies. they can then have their say. >> all right, john, that's love, man. one of my favourite members of the house of lords. still to come, minister of vaccination, the best way to remember our late queen. you, our late queen. what do you, our viewers, we should do? you viewers, think we should do? you text email what was the

modern. and then i think in scotland, she and the duke of edinburgh should be standing together and they should have that very occasional, wonderful smile that they gave each other . you know, the queen didn't believe in showing emotion, particularly when you were out, except when she's saying hello to people that she's walking by. and i think if they had that out as a memorial to her up there because she loved scotland so much, she'd go there every summer and also other occasions, if she could. and i think that would make a sort of very nice balance and that would be the things and the people that she most liked . i mean, she loved most liked. i mean, she loved her children. she loved the grand children and great grandchildren, but really , she grandchildren, but really, she she absolutely adored horses and dogs. and when then little prince charles was small, she used to go and say hello to the horses before she went in to see him. so let us put her on a

beautiful horse. well trained. one of her favourites . and i one of her favourites. and i think that would be a very, very nice thing to do, but i don't think it should be outside buckingham palace because she never really liked it . never really liked it. >> no, she didn't. andrew she was a modest woman in her own way, wasn't she? would she want a big fuss made? would she want a big fuss made? would she want a lasting memorial because there are statues of her plaques of her photos , portraits of her all her photos, portraits of her all around the country? >> i think there's nothing like a statue. actually, this is quite traditional, isn't it? all the leaders and people who have been very, very important to this country have a statue for themselves. and i think she would like that very much . i would like that very much. i don't think it's a fuss because it would be there. part of london and part of scotland. and i think that would be lovely. so that she was there, but it wouldn't be costly once it'd been made if you see what i mean . do you know what andrew? >> i can't believe the

description. you really thought about know, there's about this. you know, there's a committee called the national memorial committee. memorial ization committee. you should this. you should be chairman of this. you should be chairman of this. you should telling what should be telling them what to do. been up to sort do. they've been set up to sort out what kind of memorial there should be. she should be in charge she should. charge of it. and she should. >> we've got if you're if >> yeah, we've got if you're if you're a journalist, you're used to coming up very quickly with things and you're very good. >> now listen hard. something we want to talk to you about and you'll know if anybody does. there's around there's lots of rumours around that. meghan have . that. harry and meghan have. they're in the midst of a trial separation . have you heard that ? >> 7- >> oh, yes, 7— >> oh, yes, very ? >> oh, yes, very much so. i'm not in the least bit surprised. i think meghan is a tremendous good plotter and i think she's going along to parallel lines at the moment. on the one it's saying that they're moving to a different place because malibu now , because they've got lots of now, because they've got lots of super a level particularly strong actors and people like that there the other thing is

that there the other thing is that they joining a new charity which talks all about the importance of fathers . this is importance of fathers. this is again a sign of their joint again a sign of theirjoint hypocrisy because neither of them have anything to do with their fathers at the moment. but they think fathers need gender equality and help with being fathers. so that's that. so you see them sort of going together on the other hand, the main thing i think is the pre separation and separation is that harry will be going to africa to try and do a documentary of walking in his mother's footsteps that he hopes netflix will accept . and then netflix will accept. and then they can get their £40 million. this is a huge thing for him to do. so certainly if he does anything to do with his mother, he needs somebody there to help him because he still cries . he him because he still cries. he still thinks about her every day. he still thinks that she's

talking to him and telling him what to do. and to be there on his own , knowing he's got this his own, knowing he's got this incredible demand and i think is a very significant. >> but isn't it, andrea? it's kind of it's important as well, isn't it? because that's where harry and meghan sealed their love, wasn't it? they to love, wasn't it? they went to south africa. so the very fact that she wouldn't be going with him incredibly significant . him is incredibly significant. >> mean, she'd been there >> yes. i mean, she'd been there once. think she wants to once. i don't think she wants to go there sleeping. go there again sleeping. >> in a tent, sleeping >> she was in a tent, sleeping under the stars in a tent . under the stars in a tent. >> you know, i don't think that's meghan at all. um, but i think i think that this is a pretend thing that they're going to make it all work again. i think if you stay away for a long time, it's not going to take five minutes to do this documentary or even maybe five months. they were netflix are very demanding and it would be very demanding and it would be very long. what is he going to do about his children? will they not know him when he comes back? they're very little and small. it very, very strange.

by 2020. >> that's a that's a mistake isn't it. >> well it's. well let's ask craig mckinley, the tory mp for south thanet, and he is the chairman of the tory net zero group. craig it's been trailed in the papers for a couple of days that rishi sunak has finally seen the light and that this ludicrous attempt to make everybody get into hybrid or electric cars by 2030 is going to be delayed . gove is not is to be delayed. gove is not is saying that's not the case. very disappointing . disappointing. >> yeah. i don't know where we are with this. >> i thought there were some green shoots of common sense as it were, coming out of various government ministers, not least the prime minister, in a slightly guarded speech yesterday. >> but michael gove said no , >> but michael gove said no, we're track for 2030. we're still on track for 2030. i mean, to me, this has got to be just unachievable. never mind what i might think about electric . as we're electric vehicles. as we're talking seven years away . we talking seven years away. we don't have enough of an electricity supply in the uk to replace increasingly replace the energy that is stored in your petrol or diesel tank in your

car or lots of other competitive demands on that electricity, not least heat pumps and a story probably for another day. we don't have enough charging points. i don't think people have really been sold on electric vehicles. people i know have had them have had breakdowns as long as if you can bump start them like the good old days when old car you are stuck. many are handing them stuck. and many are handing them back. i've spoken to a number of car dealers , you know, the small car dealers, you know, the small car dealers, you know, the small car dealers, you know, the small car dealers that you often see in many towns and they're saying, we will have nothing to do with electric vehicles. they're happy to give they're quite happy to give a three month guarantee. when you buy a second car because buy a second hand car because water might go or something water pump might go or something fairly too expensive fairly minor, not too expensive , but they're simply not prepared to take on three month guarantee with a possibility that pack up and that the batteries pack up and they're saddled with a £15,000 bill. you know , i'm concerned bill. you know, i'm concerned about electric vehicles for a number of reasons, not least the rare metals that are included with within them. you know, those around the country might

be happy to see even more children in the democratic repubuc children in the democratic republic of congo digging up cobalt for their electric vehicles. but i most certainly am not. you've got china is very entrenched in the supply chain of these rare metals. i would have thought that's far from sensible . well, and then, of sensible. well, and then, of course, there's the fire hazard. we had a one of the fire authorities just last week saying they're having to dedicate a couple of fire engines because these things, if they do catch fire and i'm afraid they do with sad regularity, regularity , see, regularity, regularity, see, these things are very difficult to put out. so, yeah, let's just hold this until 2035 as a minimum. yeah. because the eu and the usa are saying 2035. yes. seem to be rather daft, but we're still sticking with 2030. >> but craig, there's confusion isn't it? because yesterday may the 1st came out, rishi was to going hold by the 2030. then in this morning's papers, some of them are reporting that he's prepared back on that. prepared to row back on that. and we still don't know . and and yet we still don't know. and tell i'm wrong a lot of

tell me if i'm wrong a lot of the in westminster are, you the mps in westminster are, you know, they want electric cars to continue. but could that be because there's more charges in the westminster borough than there is in six major cities in this country ? this country? >> well, i'm not sure that has too much to do with it. but yes, you're quite right. westminster has rolled out a lot of car chargers . but has rolled out a lot of car chargers. but i mean, the has rolled out a lot of car chargers . but i mean, the whole chargers. but i mean, the whole concept of car charging, if you live block you're live in a block of flats, you're rather stuck, aren't you? all very you've got your very well. if you've got your own private drive with overnight cheap vat cheap electricity and 5% vat rather different from the cost you'll pay at a service station full rate plus 20% vat and probably a queue of people waiting for the limited number of chargers because half of them don't work , which seems to be don't work, which seems to be the experience that i've seen. but you know, this is just too rapid. seven years is just not going to work, frankly . and i going to work, frankly. and i don't we've seen, as i don't think we've seen, as i said, the second hand car market has not matured in these yet . has not matured in these yet. and, frankly, i've and, you know, frankly, i've certainly wouldn't i don't want to one at all. but, you

to buy one at all. but, you know, come 35, there might know, come 20, 35, there might be a new generation. there might be a new generation. there might be something that might encourage electric encourage me into an electric vehicle . but encourage me into an electric vehicle. but i'm encourage me into an electric vehicle . but i'm conservative vehicle. but i'm a conservative because freedom .and vehicle. but i'm a conservative because freedom . and we saw because of freedom. and we saw that being exercised in that freedom being exercised in uxbndge that freedom being exercised in uxbridge just last week where one of the first times the electorate , the electorate were electorate, the electorate were faced with . this is a choice. faced with. this is a choice. lots more costs as part of this net zero ambition or less costs under the conservatives. obviously very supported by the conservative mayoral candidate. and they gave their assessment quite clearly. there's lots of change. since 2019, we had the, you know, the period of boris bons you know, the period of boris boris boosterism and cop26 where we've overlaid more of this net zero ambition. and this, i think, is one of the first opportunities the electorate have had to say, do you know what we're really not all that keen on that because we now realise what the cost is. >> and if the prime >> and craig, if the prime minister and michael gove and other companies heed the other companies don't heed the voice of the electorate, which we heard in uxbridge last week

and we know these wretched ultra low zones are spreading low emission zones are spreading across the country wildfire across the country like wildfire , they will lose the next general election without shadow of in view . of a doubt, in my view. >> , being up for election >> well, being up for election means offering what the public want. we win elections because we offer what the public want. and it's quite clear to me that the public are not on this net zero path at the speed that it's been rolled out. we need to create some very clear blue water between us and labour. labour can go and, you know, promise all the new renewable technologies at vast expense . technologies at vast expense. that doesn't really work. they can be promising a future where it's colder and people are poorer and the lights might go out during the winter. the conservatives should not be on that path. we've got an opportunity here to show that we're different. we're in tune with what the british public want and we will do this in a more sensible manner. i mean, whatever the arguments we can

have about net zero in it all counts for very little. when the uk is responsible for 1% of global output, we can have a major wipe—out in uk and it would be a just a mere rounding error because china is going gangbusters for cheap coal, cheap coal power stations and you've got indonesia and india not far behind them and we will be looking wistfully at their economies growing while ours is contracting and the costs are increasing. i'm afraid this is madness. we should be on a pathway of domestic gas . it's pathway of domestic gas. it's rather mad that we're importing lng ships from as far away as australia. we did that last yeah australia. we did that last year. we have massive imports from qatar . surely better to do from qatar. surely better to do it domestically as we move towards a very serious nuclear future. but we need to sort of bndge future. but we need to sort of bridge that and the better bndge bridge that and the better bridge in my view is gas , and bridge in my view is gas, and that's my policy for the uk energy. it's been on a bad track for a very long time. we're now paying for a very long time. we're now paying one of the highest prices

for electricity and fuels in the entire world. it needn't be like this. it shouldn't be like this. we've a potential for a good we've got a potential for a good election winning strategy. >> quite right too. that's conservative mp for south thanet craig mckinney. thanks for joining speaks to the voice joining us. speaks to the voice of common sense, isn't he? >> absolutely. of common sense, isn't he? >> 1% absolutely. of common sense, isn't he? >> 1% of absolutely. of common sense, isn't he? >> 1% of the )lutely. of common sense, isn't he? >> 1% of the world's global emissions. >> yeah. emissions. >> yearwe thought sunak >> and we thought rishi sunak had now it had seen the light. and now it appears he hasn't the light. >> okay. in the next few minutes, we'll be speaking to the former the bank the former adviser to the bank of will be giving us of england who will be giving us his thoughts on farage banking scandal. >> all here on gb

thursday from 9 pm. to 11 pm. on gb news. britain's news. channel >> so we're going to talk about the ongoing scandal, frankly, of nigel farage losing his account at coots, lied about by the bank, frankly. we're going to talk to the former adviser to the bank of england , dr. roger the bank of england, dr. roger g. roger dr. roger, roger, we can call you by your first name. this has got murkier and murkier since last week . the bbc has now since last week. the bbc has now apologised for broadcasting wrong information about nigel farage. that was inaccurate that you didn't have the right money in the bank account. we know he was sat next to the chief executive the night executive of the bank the night before this programme was broadcast . is her position broadcast. is her position sustainable? unless she's willing to say it wasn't me . willing to say it wasn't me. >> i don't know what their position is . it is very murky, position is. it is very murky, as you say .

position is. it is very murky, as you say. it's just it's a complete mess . it's not really complete mess. it's not really clear who said what and who did what. and i'm glad that mr farage is pushing it to get the facts assembled on the table . facts assembled on the table. this is an example. mean banks are not evil institutions. they're filled with hundreds of thousands of perfectly nice people that try to help their customers at the rest, but they have always seemed to have at the very top a fairly toxic culture of executive orders that caused the subprime banking crash in the world credit crunch ten years ago. none of them was punished . and they're always up punished. and they're always up to something . and it's what to something. and it's what economists actually call regulator capture. it it's where the regulated actually control the regulated actually control the regulator for. so the regulators are the slaves of the regulator. the banks do what they want and the regulators are pretty ruddy weak, frankly, and

here is an example. i mean , here is an example. i mean, where does a bank or any company or any corporation have any business having values of any kind other than how they treat their staff and how they treat their staff and how they treat their customers? >> it is incredible. >> it is incredible. >> dr. roger, that they you know, they've inflicted their own woke ideology onto their customers. and this is a bank who we know in the past has been fined for not having procedures in place about money laundering. i mean, it's hardly got the best record. and yet i wonder if it put the values it holds for people in this country to some of the people they've had as customers like general pinochet, like the former egyptian prime minister i bet they didn't impose the values on them that they're imposing on brits . they're imposing on brits. >> yeah, well , we they're imposing on brits. >> yeah, well, we i'm sorry, we don't accept accounts from drug lords that don't believe in climate change, things like that i >> -- >> you know, 5mm >> you know, i mean, it's insane . what is the next step that you walk into the supermarket and

they refuse to sell you food ? they refuse to sell you food? food because you don't support net zero. yeah. or or, or you go to the library . net zero. yeah. or or, or you go to the library. how net zero. yeah. or or, or you go to the library . how about that? to the library. how about that? you go to the library and they cancel your card because you asked for the wrong book. yeah. >> yeah, i mean, where's this going to stop? >> it's in sane. >> yeah, we're laughing with you. laughing. but. >> but you've put your finger on it, haven't you? here, roger? because this is the worry. this cancel culture spreads beyond banks. we don't know how extensive this has been in banks. we now know that banks monitor social media monitor people's social media feeds. other institutions feeds. what other institutions are doing this? are we going to be rejected from mortgages because they don't fact because they don't like the fact we voted for for brexit instance? >> this didn't start monday afternoon . what's scary here is afternoon. what's scary here is how long this has been going on and how many incidents of other banks and other people nigel has exposed. i believe that he has been refused an account by ten other banks. where do they get

off doing that? mm hm. >> can i ask you to make a prediction? can will she survive? the chief executive of this bank, who, by the way, earns £5 million a year ? earns £5 million a year? >> well, i mean, i don't care if she earns £5 million a year. if she earns £5 million a year. if she earns £5 million a year. if she earns that for the bank, you know, if she earns 500 million for the bank, then sure, let her in. 5 million. so that's neither here nor there what she earns. but hard say if she did but it's hard to say if she did leak somebody . personal leak somebody. personal financial details and or if she did make a misstatement of fact as a chief executive of a bank about something that she frankly shouldn't have already been talking about anyway . talking about anyway. >> quite right. >> quite right. >> then i think she has no place in her job. well i'll you've in herjob. well i'll you've answered that fairly and squarely . squarely. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> dr. roger guy, former adviser to the bank england, he's got to the bank of england, he's got that nail on the head on that right nail on the head on the button, the point on the button. >> we could see, oh, you've got a book out by a certain author. >> have that. >> you can't have that. >> you can't have that. >> to read this out >> i've got to read this out now. don't laugh we've

now. don't laugh at it. we've got to read out what coutts bank has ifs got to read out what coutts bank has it's not has said. they've said it's not coutts close customer coutts policy to close customer accounts solely on the basis of legally held political and personal views. >> do you how do you do a >> how do you how do you do a raspberry on television? >> do you've to >> you can't do you've got to stop doing that. >> you can't do you've got to st0|i'veing that. >> you can't do you've got to st0|i've doneiat. >> you can't do you've got to st0|i've done a . >> you can't do you've got to st0|i've done a raspberry. okay. >> i've done a raspberry. okay. still it's national still to come, it's national drowning prevention week. >> going to be speaking >> we're going to be speaking to royal to get royal life saving society to get advice to stay this advice on how to stay safe this summer. swim alone just about. >> yeah. that and much more to come after the headline news >> yeah. that and much more to comeroryr the headline news >> yeah. that and much more to comerory smith |eadline news >> yeah. that and much more to comerory smith .adline news with rory smith. >> thank you very much, carol. more british holidaymakers are due to return to the uk from rhodes as repatriation flights continue. wildfires have consumed the island for eight days, forcing residents to retreat to shelters along the coast. hundreds of evacuees have already landed at uk airports, two operated by easyjet with a third today. in addition to its nine scheduled flights to the greek islands. the foreign office says a team has arrived
