migration. she says the attorney general and the lord chancellor need to take action over how law firms behave as the number of channel crossings continues to climb, with more than 14,700 people intercepted in small boats so far this year. dame priti warns that the clock is ticking for the government to implement its new illegal migration bill >> need a deterrent factor? for a start , and removals and a start, and removals and returns . my rwanda plan was returns. my rwanda plan was central to that. the returns agreements that i have put in place and others are now putting in place. we have to get planes leaving the country and show that if you come here illegally, you can't just get a free pass being firm is actually the stance that we should take, and that means removing people and returning people to other third countries or country of origin as well. >> dame pretty also spoke to camilla tominey about the net zero target, saying the government needs to press pause on the 2050 climate goal. public

are not ready for this and importantly, we cannot just have this state, the government central government just sort of saying across again, institutions, local councils , institutions, local councils, county councils, this, these are the targets that you have to meet when we don't have the technology, we're not ready. >> now, if we want a sensible conversation about climate and the impact of climate change, recognising there are problems is one thing, absolutely, but making sure that we have the tools and the ability that doesn't impose costs and taxes on ordinary people , the on ordinary people, the government's energy security plans will be unveiled this week , aiming to power up britain from britain. >> the prime minister and the energy security secretary are due to meet bosses from the uk's oil and gas. renewable and nuclear industries. they're expected to reveal a raft of new investment plans driven in part by the need for greater energy independence since russia's invasion of ukraine. mike ingram is a consulting senior market strategist. he told us it's all

tactics and no strategy . tactics and no strategy. >> he starting point. we haven't built a nuclear reactor in the uk since 1995. we're paying about 60% more than the european average wholesale for wholesale electricity prices. we are saddled with a net zero project which amongst other things is going to deliver things like heat pumps which are unaffordable and completely impractical for many of the people. lower down on the income scale and, you know, and we're taxing our oil and gas industry, which has been mentioned in this at 75% at well , the energy and at 75% at well, the energy and security secretary says he and his family have struggled to open accounts at major banks in the wake of the nigel farage. >> rowe grant shapps told the sun that the problem stems from being a politically exposed person. he accused banks of going too far. it comes as mr farage launched a new website to help people who like him , have help people who like him, have had their bank accounts forcibly closed . ed, the gb news closed. ed, the gb news presenter, says 1000 accounts are being shut every day.

>> what i've learned in the three weeks since i came out, as it were , i've just been it were, i've just been inundated by small businesses, by folk all around the country. people in absolute fear , terror people in absolute fear, terror lives being ruined . thousands of lives being ruined. thousands of businesses being closed and the prime minister is ordering a review into the rollout of low traffic neighbourhoods. >> the scheme, which has been used by councils to stop drivers cutting through residential areas, has been seen by some as an attack on motorists. in an interview with the sunday telegraph, rishi sunak said he supports people's right to use their cars to do all the things that matter to them. shadow international trade secretary nick thomas—symonds says the pm should leave the decision to local areas is our position is that it local areas is our position is thatitis local areas is our position is that it is for community bodies to make these decisions, whether it is in terms of low traffic neighbourhoods where by the way, there are communities up and

down the country, you want to reduce traffic going through their neighbourhoods , whether it their neighbourhoods, whether it is in terms of you know, clean air zones. >> we've talked obviously specifically about ulez. yes, we certainly a well—planned certainly believe a well—planned low traffic neighbourhood is a good thing . good thing. >> and finally, the hs2 programme has been given a red rating by the infrastructure watchdog. it believes the timetable for construction of the first two phases of the rail line from london to birmingham and then on to crewe are unachievable . while the ipa's unachievable. while the ipa's annual report , which follows the annual report, which follows the resignation of chief executive mark thurston, cites major issues with the schedule and the budget . hs2 issues with the schedule and the budget. hs2 was initially issues with the schedule and the budget . hs2 was initially slated budget. hs2 was initially slated to open in 2026. this has now been delayed by up to seven years. this is dup news. we'll bnng years. this is dup news. we'll bring you more as it happens. now let's get straight back to .

emily >> thank you, ray. so the prime minister rishi sunak, has claimed he is on the side of drivers as he orders a full review of the rollout of controversial low traffic neighbourhoods . so controversial low traffic neighbourhoods. so in controversial low traffic neighbourhoods . so in such neighbourhoods. so in such plans, local councils attempt to limit traffic in town and city centres , with drivers centres, with drivers often prevented using quiet prevented from using quiet residential roads as three routes as they're designed to essentially uptake essentially encourage the uptake of other modes of transport and get rid of cars. encourage people to get out of their cars and use a bicycle. well, perhaps. but others see the plans as an attack on motorists and have urged prime and have urged the prime minister to defending minister to lean in to defending drivers engage in a rethink drivers and engage in a rethink on zero amid hopes of on net zero amid hopes of attacking labour's green ambitions. so we're going to go straight to lisa hartle gb news reporter who's been following this story very closely. she joins now. joins us from hackney now. hackney has had quite a lot of controversy over their use of low traffic neighbourhoods. many are very angry. am i right. >> hello. yes, well, hackney has

the largest coverage of ltns in london, around 70% of the borough is covered. and so what is an ltn? so low traffic neighbourhood zone. so as you can see behind me, there's one of the roads that's affected. it's to try and stop vehicles going down there, apart from buses, ambulance and ambulances, service emergency services going down. roads like this . there's down. roads like this. there's planters in the road to stop lorries, for example, going down. but what we've seen since we've been here is motorbike saw a motorbike go onto the pavement to avoid going down. there's a camera just over there. whether he'll still get picked up, i don't know. but i spoke to some of the residents who live around here because the idea of this is to obviously reduce the traffic going roads and then going down these roads and then to quality to improve air quality for people live and make people who live here and make the one said the roads safer. one lady said that seen a huge that she has seen a huge reduction in traffic. she said this road used to be gridlocked most of the time. so now people are able use this as are not able to use this as a through route, are using the other so she said other roads around. so she said she more taking

she sees more parents taking their kids to school or using bikes. the that bikes. you know, the bikes that you what would you you see with the what would you call them? the things attached to children can to them where the children can be because the roads be taken down because the roads are safer. however, i have spoken to another lady and she said that said problems for her is that she also sees what we've seen today with the motorbikes going onto the pavement instead of going down there, which she said is and is obviously more dangerous. and then she has, then the other problem she has, she after a long night she said, is after a long night out, she gets back at the early hours of the morning. ubers can't bring so has can't bring her home, so she has to walk the streets to then walk down the streets late night on her or late at night on her own or early hours of the morning. and then there was another lady who said is constantly said her husband is constantly getting by accidentally getting fines by accidentally driving this driving down roads such as this one. has, of one. now rishi sunak has, of course, ordered a review course, looked ordered a review into this. the department of transport, into just how transport, to look into just how these working, how effective these are working, how effective they because another they are, because again, another lady to around here lady i spoke to around here said that she the that actually she sees the problem pushing from problem pushing traffic from areas affluent areas where it's an affluent areas where it's an affluent area into the areas where people who live with less money. so actually creating the problem, making worse for making the problem worse for them, congestion around them, making congestion around

these worse. so it's going these areas worse. so it's going to be we're going to find out. it'll be interesting to find out what review finds what what the review finds because is this is this improving air quality for everybody or is it simply pushing the problem out to other areas ? but it's not clear yet areas? but it's not clear yet whether councils, whether the government will be allowed to actually change these schemes that in place or indeed that are in place or indeed scrap going despite scrap them going forward despite what finds as well. what the review finds as well. >> it's very interesting, isn't it, live on one it, because if you live on one of these residential roads where there's l10, must be there's an l10, it must be lovely because there's barely any that passes, any traffic that passes, very calm. probably an improved quality of life if you happen to live on one of those roads. but what seems to happen is all that traffic gets pushed out onto other roads you have other roads and you have gridlock seems to be gridlock and it seems to be causing the most harm to small business people, self—employed people who maybe people who go about maybe plumbers, maybe self—employed couriers can't go about couriers who can't go about their business or their journeys are massively elongated. they can't get from a to b, so the number of jobs they do obviously is reduced less money. it is

is reduced less money. so it is a bit of an attack, perhaps a bit of a regressive attack because it well, it costs people who need to go about and do their business in way. their business in that way. >> well, exactly. and if you do accidentally drive down, for example, the street behind me, that's a £60 fine that you're going to be issued with. and this isn't just a scheme that's here, course, it's other here, of course, it's other cities around the country such as bristol and birmingham. and again, more problems are being reported as here. reported the same as here. indeed, if you live in this road, then yeah, it's much better. air quality is going to have been affected. less have been affected. there's less traffic, the people traffic, but then the people living the parts living in the other parts where the drivers are having to take those then those routes around and then there's more congestion. another person i spoke to around here said then said that the trouble is then the congestion that get the more congestion that you get elsewhere, cars are elsewhere, then the cars are having sit there for longer. having to sit there for longer. so there's an increase in so there's still an increase in air those areas. so air pollution in those areas. so yeah, there's a lot of yeah, but there's not a lot of information i tried yeah, but there's not a lot of informa'earlier i tried yeah, but there's not a lot of informa'earlier to i tried yeah, but there's not a lot of informa'earlier to find tried yeah, but there's not a lot of informa'earlier to find like a looking earlier to find like a map of all the different areas of where are, there's of where they are, but there's not a lot of information and no data to really show exactly how many these areas have in

many of these areas have been in implemented here or across the country. >> yes. if you were if you happen to be trying to drive around central london, it is quite a difficult experience. i must say. lisa hartle they are gb news reporter live from hackney. one of the most lightened areas in london. so i'd love to bring in my panel now to discuss that, i'm joined by gb news presenter darren grimes and former labour mp stephen pound . thank you very stephen pound. thank you very much indeed forjoining me this much indeed for joining me this afternoon. it's interesting afternoon. so it's interesting what there, stephen. what lisa says there, stephen. these schemes are good for people who happen to live on that residential street that is now and quiet . but what now peaceful and quiet. but what about the gridlock down the road ? >> 7- >> can we 7— >> can we have ? >> can we have a reality 7 >> can we have a reality check here? >> no. >> no. >> okay, stephen, always, always go on. >> look for 50 years, to my certain knowledge , we've been certain knowledge, we've been stopping rat running by making one way streets, blocking off streets. we've always done it. if you're going let the if you're going to let the motorists like mr toad going motorists be like mr toad going up and roaring the up and roaring through the countryside and people countryside and knocking people into fine. that's great countryside and knocking people int(the fine. that's great countryside and knocking people int(the motorist,. that's great countryside and knocking people int(the motorist, butat's great countryside and knocking people int(the motorist, but it's great for the motorist, but it's pretty bad for city. look, pretty bad for the city. look,

rishi sunaks comments were both childish thought childish and frankly ill thought out. if he wants to take away and of the last and destroy one of the last vestiges local government vestiges of local government democracy, then let him out democracy, then let him come out and it. and say it. >> is not to do with >> this is not to do with democracy. these systems were often imposed the often imposed during the pandemic proper pandemic without proper consultation against locals wishes because there is a strong anti—car lobby, particularly in local councils in london, where they believe that this is the way to get cars gone. >> i'm sorry, they are democratic. you can vote on them. every council vote them. every council has a vote on things ealing where on the things in ealing where i'm know, had eight i'm from, you know, we had eight uns i'm from, you know, we had eight ltns people they wanted ltns people voted. they wanted to two of them and lose six. >> why do they bother with consulting? >> yeah, well, because the consultation is of course you have whether consultation is of course you hav even whether consultation is of course you haveven going whether consultation is of course you haveven going wear|ether consultation is of course you haveven going wear oneer consultation is of course you haveven going wear one on it's even going to wear one on this but then if it's not this thing. but then if it's not popular, it doesn't work. >> thought, you know, popular, it doesn't work. >>a thought, you know, popular, it doesn't work. >>a man thought, you know, popular, it doesn't work. >>a man of thought, you know, popular, it doesn't work. >>a man of the)ught, you know, popular, it doesn't work. >>a man of the labour'ou know, popular, it doesn't work. >>a man of the labour party, ow, as a man of the labour party, you would want to support the working you speak to working man. and if you speak to people who need to around people who need to get around london and other areas the london and other areas of the country their cars because country in their cars because they can't carry around all their in their their toolkit with them in their handbag. emily i speak the handbag. emily i speak as the father of electrician.

father of an electrician. >> is a sparky. he drives >> my son is a sparky. he drives around in his van, but he's all his working life. been his working life. he's been certain can't go certain streets you can't go down and quite frankly, if he can't find your way around as your about driving around your point about driving around central london, earth in central london, who on earth in their would drive their right mind would drive down oxford street? >> in central london. >> my car in central london. oxford fined oxford got fined. i got fined because think i went into an because i think i went into an you should be let off you. hands up. i think i went into an ltn and mistake because it wasn't and by mistake because it wasn't actually that obvious. darren it's not just london though, right? >> these things are happening in newcastle, example , and newcastle, for example, and other the country other places around the country and i see it as an assault on motorists. i actually see it as this theory to try and get this nudge theory to try and get people out of their cars. that's what want to do ultimately what they want to do ultimately to have fewer people. what's wrong with that, darren? well because and because it's about freedom and liberty. should all be free liberty. we should all be free to drive cars if we want to. i don't accept that air quality in london has been getting worse . london has been getting worse. actually, if you compare it to 1970, parties matter down by 76, at least . so air quality is

at least. so air quality is getting better and this is used as an excuse to fatten sidique khan's coffers and to get people out of their cars. it's an assault on motorists. the whole green agenda is about that. it's about force and behaviours. and i think what's happened in uxbndge i think what's happened in uxbridge , emily, is but a test uxbridge, emily, is but a test subject out of what's going to happen because the people who are finally, i think, waking up to what's going on here and how it's going to hit them in the pocket, well, i'm glad you brought happened brought up what happened in uxbridge. the tories >> of course, the tories unexpectedly won that by—election on an anti ulez ticket. are you stephen, a little bit out of touch? oh people have been saying that all my life. >> i'm not arguing about that. but look, let's just get one thing straight. freedom for the wolf does not mean freedom for the lamb. that's not for you to or a local council decide. or a local council to decide. well, no, sorry. i'm sorry. well, no, i'm sorry. i'm sorry. one person's freedom is another person's to person's oppression. you have to be careful. let me make be very careful. let me make a prediction about who's being oppressed prediction about who's being oppstephen. who's >> stephen. someone who's being oppressed use of cars, oppressed by the use of cars, people are choking the people who are choking in the fumes they're parking

fumes when they're parking outside dropping outside the school, dropping their in their great their kids off in their great range rovers. >> people who can't get out of their door because their front door because cars are down, people are roaring up and down, people with mufflers things with mufflers and things that aren't making filthy aren't working, making a filthy noise a lot of people are being impressed. look, we can coexist with we can. and with cars. of course we can. and we should. idea that any we should. but the idea that any one of people one particular group of people is another people, is anti another group of people, what, 75% of the people in this country drive cars. we're not going anti all of them, going to be anti all of them, are totally stupid. >> yeah, i take your point, but there are many case studies of people who are self employed and they've taken the very expensive decision car to decision to upgrade their car to an vehicle, which can an electric vehicle, which can be very expensive indeed . and be very expensive indeed. and then over the course of the pandemic, they find that they can barely make it to a from a to b without being, you know, pummelled with extra costs, not only ulez, but then, of course, these low traffic neighbourhoods, which genuinely mean that some people have gone from a to five jobs a from $10 a day to five jobs a day, and then that's passed on to consumer. to the consumer. >> absolutely. things >> absolutely. and on things like there are nurses is like ulez, there are nurses is being i think if we take a

being used. i think if we take a nurse as a case study who are paying nurse as a case study who are paying twice in one shift because they're they're doing night shifts. so they're paying that £12 or is it 1250 every single time. now that to me is absolutely outrageous . nurses absolutely outrageous. nurses are already struggling at this point. we haven't got enough money in the economy to actually give them a decent pay rise. so i actually went to watch a clip of labour's david lammy, who was on another broadcast, which i shant on another broadcast, which i shan't name because it's not worth watching, but he was saying, you he was listening to a struggling londoner who was saying , this is going to break saying, this is going to break my family right? we can't saying, this is going to break my family right ? we can't afford my family right? we can't afford to take this hit and he replied and he says, just get a new car or do you want your kids to get asthma? i mean, you can't turn around to people and say, just go out and get yourself a new motor. what planet live in. motor. what planet you live in. >> are lot of questions >> there are a lot of questions to be asked about, about the statistics that sadiq khan exactly . exactly. >> if i said that to my son, i'd

get very dusty answer. i'd get get a very dusty answer. i'd get a very, very. but look, a couple of things. first of all, i spent a lot of in uxbridge and it a lot of time in uxbridge and it wasn't a lot fun to be wasn't a lot of fun to be perfectly but perfectly honest. but the reality if you bought your reality is, if you bought your car since 2005, it's ulez compliant anyway if you're driving so it's people driving a car. so it's people who poorest in our who are the poorest in our society able to make society or least able to make this that the most effective. >> these policies are aggressive and big question of and i want our big question of the is should rishi sunak the day is should rishi sunak take this as an indicator of actually, well, maybe a little bit of a rethink when it comes to net zero, too, because it does pummel those who are least able to afford it. all these policies . policies. >> there was a liberal democrat councillor quoted in the paper today that people who today that said people who object to this should be gassed. you know, said this down in you know, he said this down in christchurch, going christchurch, i'm not going to mention name absolutely mention his name was absolutely ludicrous. if people are such mention his name was absolutely lucextremef people are such mention his name was absolutely lucextreme perspective such mention his name was absolutely lucextreme perspective on such mention his name was absolutely lucextreme perspective on this, an extreme perspective on this, then just calm then i think let's just calm down little bit and let's just down a little bit and let's just down a little bit and let's just do it the gb news way. respecting each other opinions do it the gb news way. resjactually ach other opinions do it the gb news way. resjactually talkingar opinions do it the gb news way. resjactually talking about|ions do it the gb news way. resjactually talking about itns and actually talking about it sensibly. everybody sensibly. surely everybody accepts cases accepts that there are cases when ltns and anti rat running

schemes appropriate. think schemes are appropriate. i think if can just accept that and if we can just accept that and then on to the next step and then go on to the next step and say the decision ultimately should be taken by the people for by for the people, not by whitehall. you trust civil whitehall. do you trust civil servants more than local councillors? tough call , councillors? it's a tough call, and not by activist lobby groups, i'd say. >> but anyway , we we'll come >> but anyway, we we'll come back to this soon because i think our panel have got a lot more to say on this issue. you're listening to you're watching or listening to gb with me. sunday gb news saturday with me. sunday with emily we have with me, emily carver. we have so more to bring on the so much more to bring you on the rest show, so don't go rest of the show, so don't go anywhere. but first, let's get the weather. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt proud sponsors of boxt boilers, proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. weather on. gb news. >> hello there. i'm jonathan vautrey here with your latest gb news weather forecast provided by the met office. you might be hoping for a change of type in our weather over the next few days, but it is unfortunately looking to remain relatively unsettled. area low unsettled. this area of low pressure the of pressure throughout the rest of sunday to be pushing sunday is going to be pushing in from atlantic with these from the atlantic with these weather fronts already providing rain england.

rain into southwest england. some for wales, some heavier bursts for wales, northern ireland later on into northern also turning fairly damp england also turning fairly damp and the breeze and grey as well. the breeze will building particularly and grey as well. the breeze will alongding particularly and grey as well. the breeze will along somearticularly and grey as well. the breeze will along some coastal'ly and grey as well. the breeze will along some coastal areas. gusty along some coastal areas. the rain gradually pushing its way into scotland but way into scotland overnight, but the far north of scotland should stay with some clear stay largely dry with some clear intervals and actually turning relatively underneath relatively chilly underneath those as those clear skies, down to as low as degrees celsius in low as five degrees celsius in some rural villages. but elsewhere it be much elsewhere it will be a much milder humid start to monday milder and humid start to monday morning. outbreaks rain still morning. outbreaks of rain still continuing across the channel islands southern coast of england. brighter spells england. a few brighter spells trying to develop into the afternoon so might actually make it feel a touch warmer monday afternoon so might actually make it feel a t

trying to develop in there. so a bit more sunshine compared to monday in general, but further wet and weather on the wet and windy weather is on the cards, as we head cards, particularly as we head towards enjoy towards wednesday. enjoy the rest your bye bye. that rest of your day. bye bye. that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers >> proud sponsors of weather on gb news you're you're with gb news sunday with me emily carvel. >> we've got lots more to come up >> we've got lots more to come up on today's show. please do get in touch about our conversation about ulez and being anti—car and the government's review ltns. let government's review on ltns. let me what you think, but me know what you think, but meghan markle prince harry meghan markle and prince harry could to downsize could be forced to downsize following collapse their following the collapse of their spotify trouble with spotify deal and trouble with netflix and netflix. posh and becks reportedly don't even want to be their friends anymore , nor their friends anymore, nor should just admit defeat . should harry just admit defeat. come back with his tail between his sorry to the his legs and say sorry to the royal family and the rest of us. perhaps that's wishful thinking. and it not, people and believe it or not, people traffickers are exploiting tiktok advertise their tiktok to advertise their illegal boat crossings . illegal small boat crossings. they're very clever indeed. they're very clever indeed. they're boat and union they're using boat and union jack emojis to trick tiktok into

keeping their videos up on the platform. so have we simply become a laughing stock at this stage? you're watching and listening news with listening to gb news sunday with me, emily on gb news,

channel welcome back to gb news sunday with me, emily carver on your tv and radio. so as prince harry's battle with the press continues, it seems all is not well. in his

montecito paradise, rumours have been swirling, of course, that his marriage may on the his marriage may be on the rocks. it seems the pair rocks. now it seems the pair could looking downsize could be looking to downsize from mansion after their from their mansion after their lucrative a lucrative spotify deal came to a rather abrupt end. and to make matters even worse, harry and meghan's relationship power meghan's relationship with power couple and becks appears to couple posh and becks appears to be after harry reportedly be over after harry reportedly accused the couple of leaking royal stories to the press. so to make sense of this all, let's speak commentator speak to royal commentator michael cole. michael, thank you very much for joining michael cole. michael, thank you very much forjoining me. so what do you make of these headlines? start with the headlines? let's start with the downsizing. do you there's downsizing. do you think there's some that? mean, they some truth to that? i mean, they have lost quite a lot of potential money, haven't they , emily? >> good afternoon. yes indeed. >> good afternoon. yes indeed. >> for a for a couple who prize their privacy above all, they do rather attract a large amount of pubuchy rather attract a large amount of publicity , don't they? and this publicity, don't they? and this is absolutely no surprise to me because this house that they have on a hilltop, this little fortress in montecito , about 100 fortress in montecito, about 100 miles from los angeles , they've

miles from los angeles, they've got a £7 million mortgage on that. think about that. a nine bedroom house. and what's more, i think this is the big one is that they've got round the clock security. now, if you or i were paying security. now, if you or i were paying for three shifts of hefty men to protect us 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year, you can burn through an awful lot of money, very quickly. >> and of course, they lost their or she lost her contract with spotify . with spotify. >> spotify dropped them like a hot potato and rather ungallantly bill simmons, who is the head of spotify, described them as grifters, which is an american slang term for con confidence tricksters. it's a bit tough and they've had it in both ears really , because a man both ears really, because a man who's the head of the talent agency called jerry zimmer , he's agency called jerry zimmer, he's the ceo of united talent agency. he's described a meghan markle as being untalented. so they're

not having too good a time of it at the moment. >> it's not going too well, is it, michael, for the for the couple? i mean, that's it's probably not even the cost of the mortgage that they're worried it's probably all worried about. it's probably all the whistles. you the bells and whistles. as you say, security, the say, the security, the gardeners, man , the gardeners, the pool man, the well , the child minders, the well, the child minders, the nannies, the cooks, the chefs, whatever else they have. but posh and becks. now that's another celebrity couple, celebrity royalty, one might say they've gone off them two very, very sad. >> this i mean, if you didn't know that the sussexes and the beckhams were best buddies, as you now know, that they were, and the past tense and that's in the past tense because they apparently because they were apparently what happened there was what has happened there was a tense rather bad tempered phone call from prince harry to david beckham, suggesting that the beckhams had leaked stories about the sussexes. well, it's terrible to be accused of something you didn't do. and

david beckham was very furious about it. and they haven't been on speakers since. so. >> well, michael, it also shows it also shows just how paranoid harry is accusing his his friends of potentially leaking story about him and his wife. it's a it's quite a lot. but sadly , that's all we've got time sadly, that's all we've got time for. michael, thank you very much for bringing us up to date on all the gossip, rumour and reports about harry and meghan and their life in montecito, which may be coming to an end. who knows? but let's what who knows? but let's see what my panel i'm joined panel make of this. i'm joined by news presenter darren by gb news presenter darren grimes course, stephen grimes and of course, stephen pound. here. darren, pound. with me here. darren, what's on the of what's your take on the end of the friendship the the friendship with the beckhams? it's going to be beckhams? well, it's going to be wagatha christie 2.0, isn't it? >> so it's very exciting. let's hope to court. so we get hope it goes to court. so we get to of again but to follow all of that. again but look, think ultimately they're look, i think ultimately they're talking now all of these talking about now all of these things being taken away from them. they've lost their trinkets from spotify, netflix and things may and potentially other things may be on the way out, too . they be on the way out, too. they talk have coming talk and potentially have coming back to the uk. emily, i think they'd be about as welcome as a

in a lift. i really, really do. i don't know. >> i think we, we don't hold a grudge in this country. well, i don't. and i would welcome him back he said showed back if he said sorry. showed a bit you know, contrition. bit of you know, contrition. >> did. you did. >> you did. you did. >> you did. you did. >> you did welcome him back. >> you did say welcome him back. you tail between his you had his tail between his legs. but listen, let me just tell you something a bit odd that happened yesterday afternoon. was afternoon. very quickly. i was at football, obviously, and my team, town, were playing team, hanwell town, were playing brentford on brentford romeo beckham was on the know, a good the bench. and, you know, a good lad, a bit lad, he actually looks a bit like but thinner and like his dad, but thinner and taller. anyway, i to taller. anyway, so i spoke to the brentford manager and i said, you know, do you want us to make special to make any special arrangements, any question? he said, one thing, said, no, just say one thing, david beckham doesn't come to this his this football match when his son's it would son's playing because it would distract football and son's playing because it would dis doesn't football and son's playing because it would dis doesn't want football and son's playing because it would dis doesn't want any tball and son's playing because it would dis doesn't want any publicity or he doesn't want any publicity or anything in fact, if anything about it. in fact, if we play him under a false we could play him under a false name, we would. and i thought that's difference. know, that's the difference. you know, that's the difference. you know, that's a profound decency not getting way your son's getting in the way of your son's career, bringing career, not actually bringing a problem football problem for the whole football match these match as for these people, i think grifters quite a polite think grifters is quite a polite word, but honesty, i am

word, but in all honesty, i am not awake at night not lying awake at night weeping, bitter salt, tears for the montecito. the duke of montecito. >> interesting as >> but it's quite interesting as a phenomena, isn't it, a cultural phenomena, isn't it, darren? because they obviously a cultural phenomena, isn't it, darre off3ecause they obviously a cultural phenomena, isn't it, darre off to :ause they obviously a cultural phenomena, isn't it, darre off to america,( obviously a cultural phenomena, isn't it, darre off to america, leaving sly a cultural phenomena, isn't it, darre off to america, leaving the went off to america, leaving the royal their royal family, leaving their dufies royal family, leaving their duties country in search duties to this country in search of. well, what we found out to duties to this country in search of. in all, what we found out to duties to this country in search of. in search at we found out to duties to this country in search of. in search ofrve found out to duties to this country in search of. in search of the ound out to duties to this country in search of. in search of the brightut to be in search of the bright lights hollywood and lights of hollywood and everything that with it. everything that goes with it. and are finding and actually people are finding out over in the us, too, what we found out years ago that they don't really have whole lot don't really have a whole lot to say from jibes at say besides from jibes about at their own families. >> absolutely. i think since the oprah interview, they've very quickly of anything to quickly ran out of anything to say, especially after harry say, and especially after harry was writing about how he lost his virginity and all the rest of it, going into real detail in his book spare. so spare us is what the public are saying. and now even the americans are turning around and saying, i've had enough of this petulant pair, so i'm not sure emily they ever will apologise because i genuinely do not believe that they think they've got anything to for . to apologise for. >> they'd have to split first. of course think would have of course. i think it would have to harry on who came back. >> and it is interesting.

>> and it is interesting. >> they've not been pictured together for a little while. >> it is interesting. they're very much their separate very much going their separate ways their ambitions. >> well, you're not really annoys it says this annoys me. it says all this gwyneth paltrow wokery nonsense about inner about in touch with your inner person. it's person. you know, it's absolutely and absolutely embarrassing. and i think hopefully that we can actually shine light on that actually shine a light on that and up, the pair of you. >> well, let's hope. meghan markle is not about to release a vagina candle because vagina scented candle because that's what gwyneth paltrow did. >> there's low bar there, >> if there's a low bar there, you always bar. you will always get the bar. >> that's bar. >> that's the bar. >> that's the bar. >> now, remind me not to get a lift with you. >> and this is why we get darren on for that astute analysis. there we thank you very there we go. thank you very much. know what you much. let me know what you think. what do actually, you think. what do you actually, you know, he came know, forgive harry if he came back and said, sorry, i would, but i'm little a but perhaps i'm a a little a little too sweet on that little bit too sweet on that one. you're and one. you're watching and listening news with listening to gb news sunday with me, emily kabul. we've got lots more coming up on today's show. a city a top london university city and one white members of one that barred white members of staff from free tai chi classes. also, it turns out, gives staff advice to be woke. advice on how to be woke. go figure more come. but

>> tv, online and digital radio. now, a lot of you have been writing in. i've been inundated actually with a bit of a fact check. something that stephen

pound said about the ulez scheme. now, apparently , judy scheme. now, apparently, judy says just heard a panellist say if you bought your car after 2005, it will be ulez compliant. my 2005, it will be ulez compliant. my car was registered in 2001 and to my surprise came back as ulez compliant. oh, that's not the right one. essentially, some people are saying that if your car not every car that you bought in 2005 is actually compliant , bought in 2005 is actually compliant, but ulez. so you're wrong on that one. >> no. well, hang on a second. mean let me just nuance this slightly. technically, you're absolutely correct. if you've got or a large vehicle got a van or a large vehicle after isn't after 2005, it probably isn't ulez compliant. but the ulez compliant. but 90% of the cars on road that were cars on the road that were bought after 2005 are. so i should have said, and you're absolutely right, viewers absolutely right, your viewers have there have corrected me as well there we that's why we have viewers, >> that's why we have viewers, of course, write in to us. of course, who write in to us. jenny said the criteria for criteria for ulez compliant cars will be lowered once the scheme is implemented across is fully implemented across london. fooled. the london. do not be fooled. the aim to tax everyone out of aim is to tax everyone out of their absolutely . their cars absolutely. >> let's not forget that >> and let's not forget that government intervention this >> and let's not forget that goveinnent intervention this >> and let's not forget that govein thet intervention this >> and let's not forget that gove in the past rvention this >> and let's not forget that govein the past hasition this >> and let's not forget that

gove in the past has meant this >> and let's not forget that gove in the past has meant that area in the past has meant that we're all driving around in diesel cars. then they turn round actually round and said, oh, actually we've made a boo boo there. diesel is quite poisonous when the fumes come out and all the rest was pushed rest of it. and that was pushed by eu in the whole emission by the eu in the whole emission scandal was being scandal where it was being fiddled and all the it. fiddled and all the rest of it. >> and there's >> well, absolutely. and there's also that sadiq khan, also the worry that sadiq khan, he's put up thousands of cameras around the entirety of greater london and people are wondering , well, the plan here? , well, what's the plan here? perhaps a pay per mile perhaps a pay pay per mile scheme, which would be, well, incredibly expensive for people going about their daily business, but perhaps it's what's needed to combat pollution. let me know what you think. now, moving on. it's been revealed london revealed the top london university that barred white members from free members of staff from free tai chi classes , so white people chi classes, so white people were from attending these were banned from attending these classes. this university classes. now this university actually it's revealed , gives actually it's revealed, gives staff advice on how to be woke. what does this include ? well, what does this include? well, king's college london encouraged its academics to take an unconscious bias test. it tells them that if they happen to be white, they should understand

they have benefit did as a result of their racial identity. so in awoke toolkit, it teaches lecturers how to be an anti—racist ally. that's different from just not being racist and suggests they read books, including what white people can do next. all right. well, joining me now is tom harris, director of data at the free speech union . is king's free speech union. is king's college london an outlier for here? tom >> well, certainly it's had two items in the news in quick succession . succession. >> so in that way, perhaps, yes. but at our data would also suggest no . we've had more than suggest no. we've had more than 2000 cases relating to free speech since we were set up in february 2020. >> and 20% of those have related to universities and have related to universities and have related to student unions , where our to student unions, where our membership is less than 10. >> so we have a lot of universities and king's college are obviously on the list. >> but there's oxford, there's cambridge, all in some sense in

some way causing difficulties either for their academics or their students with free speech. >> it must be quite a hostile place . the academic world are place. the academic world are universities across the country for people who don't subscribe to . well, maybe the idea of to. well, maybe the idea of white supremacy or a higher rakhi of victimhood or the fact that you don't just have to be not racist, you have to be anti racist. i'm not sure i'd fancy be working in the academic world right now. i feel like i'd simply be shunned . simply be shunned. >> it really has become quite a hostile place. >> the one thing we seem to find again and again with diversity eqtu again and again with diversity equity and inclusion is that it doesn't entail a diversity of views, a diversity of outlooks on on these issues. >> thankfully, there are more and more institutions such as don't divide us who are providing alternative views and alternative perspectives , but alternative perspectives, but still perhaps part of the problem is a lot of this came from universities, albeit

universities in the us to start with, the fact that these ideas came from universities means that routeing it out of universities is going to be really, really tricky . really, really tricky. >> lastly, it's not >> and just lastly, it's not just universities, is it? this is all over the country in different guises in the public sector here in whitehall departments , in big departments, in big corporations, they all seem to be signed up to this list. this this woke agenda unconscious bias training is everywhere . bias training is everywhere. there seems to be this idea that you are privileged based on your skin colour. if you happen to be white, everyone seems to have to sign up to this and i do wonder how many people actually believe it all. >> i think that's a really important point because in many ways these are political views that people are being asked to sign up to. >> and that's exactly what we saw with the nigel farage news cycle of the last few weeks, is that it was his political views, which were were the problem for the bank. >> so it's the same thing we're seeing in universities and it absolutely seems to be that

politics is not allowed to be left at home anymore, but it's being brought into the workplace schools as well. >> and also universal cities. >> and also universal cities. >> so we see 42% of our cases relate to the workplace in some shape or form . shape or form. >> i do. i do worry that people just feel like they can't speak up. i felt it at university supporting brexit, but i was a bit of a pariah among some of my professors. i don't think they liked that at all. and other things like controversial things like immigration and freedom of movement. and of course now all the stuff that's come out of black lives matter. but there you go. perhaps we need more anti—woke universities, but we'll see what happens. thank you much indeed. tom you very much indeed. tom harris, data at the harris, director of data at the free speech union. so i'm quite keen hear panel think keen to hear what my panel think about darren. about this. actually darren. okay. is just a story about okay. this is just a story about king's college london in, but i think it's something that we've seen in all our institutions . as seen in all our institutions. as i was saying to tom there, what

do of it all? do you make of it all? >> absolutely. i mean, the question there about being asked to read what white people can do next, i would say, well, i'll tell you what, this white person's going to right now. person's going to do right now. tell off, you know, tell you enough off, you know, you race baiter because i think that's much this is. that's what much of this is. it's about making it's it's about making money. it's very be in the very profitable to be in the victim industry , victimhood, victim industry, victimhood, narratives all of narratives and all the rest of it propagating things. but it propagating these things. but but it's bigger than all of that. you mentioned you hit on the nigel farage story well. the nigel farage story as well. this is the esg virus that's running rampant throughout many institutions in the uk . 13 years institutions in the uk. 13 years of conservative government emily, what have they actually done and where have they been when it comes to this whole industry that has been created within many of britain's institutions where people are told that they're racist people are told that they're transphobic and all the rest of it, when you know all they all they're saying is things like britain isn't a racist country or a woman can't have a penis.

this and you'll be reprimanded for all of that. the conservatives have allowed this to run rampant. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> stephen, i think we need a bit of a march back through the institutions in this country. it is quite incredible that we've had 13 years of some form of conservative lviv government. well said. yet but yet whitehall departments, our universities , departments, our universities, our schools seem to be all signed up to this type of agenda. would you allow me to agree with darren? >> oh, there we are. >> oh, there we are. >> stephen pound is the least woke former labour mp. >> but look, let's get a couple of things. what is an ivory tower? an ivory tower is actually a of an oxford or actually a sort of an oxford or cambridge college keele or cambridge college or keele or strand we used to strand polytechnic as we used to call it. but the reality is they've obviously got too much time their hands and ivory time on their hands and ivory tower bad turn of tower probably is a bad turn of phrase days. phrase these days. >> sorry. okay. yeah >> oh, i'm sorry. okay. yeah >> oh, i'm sorry. okay. yeah >> rainbow ebony. >> rainbow ebony. >> tower , tower. >> ebony tower, tower. >> ebony tower, tower. >> but look , tower hamlets >> okay. but look, tower hamlets anyway. but look, the point being, everybody knows in universities have most universities have these most ferocious disputes , huge, huge

ferocious disputes, huge, huge arguments about tiny, tiny things. think the point things. and i think the point about this, can beat about this, you can beat yourself from now till yourself up from now till christmas, if you're christmas, because if you're allowed mention christmas, allowed to mention christmas, because you okay, i'm because you can say, okay, i'm biased, but know what am biased, but you know what am i doing about it? and in the end, you're going to have to sort of cut your hands off or cut your wrists or something just to prove but look, interesting prove it. but look, interesting point. the point. you said not for the first time. i think a lot of people and remember when we people and i remember when we had the house of had this in the house of commons, when we had to all look on training a lot of people on this training a lot of people simply that box. they don't simply tick that box. they don't engage with it. they don't appreciate don't appreciate it, they don't understand it. and maybe there's a there a real argument out there that we should be talking about, but that's going because of this ludicrous, overloaded, super charged forcing people. >> do think you have >> do you think you have privilege a white privilege as a white male? i think i have as think i have privilege as a person who two parents person who had two parents and was a fairly was brought up in a fairly stable household. >> yes, i would agree with those sentiments. >> i think that's absolutely right, because actually, don't right, because actually, i don't think more an think there's any more racist an idea inherently idea that someone is inherently privileged or not privileged because of the colour of their skin, in a country

skin, especially in a country like britain. i'm immensely proud a country that proud to live in a country that has relations has fantastic race relations where can get no where you can get ahead no matter what your background. it is those issues there where a lack a to parents is lack of a parent to parents is what holds you back than what holds you back more than your colour of your skin. >> about >> also, the irony about this story that king's college story is that king's college london is probably one of the most the most diverse universities in the country. very country. there's probably very much white pupils much a minority of white pupils and it was founded by the church of england. >> kca was originally a church of england to train of england institution to train vicars the church of vicars vicars for the church of england. know, well, england. you know, well, well, full circle. nice. >> well, you go. but let >> well, there you go. but let us know at home what you think about it. but we're going to move because is some move on because there is some shocking from the channel. shocking news from the channel. it's that traffickers it's emerged that traffickers are using ship flag emojis it's emerged that traffickers aretricklg ship flag emojis it's emerged that traffickers aretricklg ship and flag emojis it's emerged that traffickers aretricklg ship and advertisejis to trick tiktok and advertise for illegal small boat for their illegal small boat crossings . among the symbols crossings. among the symbols being by the gangs are being adopted by the gangs are small boats and lorries, as well as the british and french flags and variety of landmarks. so and a variety of landmarks. so essentially posting essentially they're posting videos online on tiktok, the social media platform adverts using their wares in order to get around the police and the

border force and the regulations get around the police and the bordwhatnot.|nd the regulations get around the police and the bordwhatnot. they're regulations get around the police and the bordwhatnot. they're usingtions and whatnot. they're using emojis to essentially get around that. so border force predicts that. so border force predicts that the next three months will follow a similar pattern to last yean follow a similar pattern to last year, when 51% of the record breaking 45,755 small boat arrivals, many of whom found passage through these social media adverts and they arrived in august, september and october . now this comes as well as priti patel told gb news the government needs to clamp down on lefty lawyers who are abusing the system . so let's see what my the system. so let's see what my panel make of this as well. i mean , this emoji story used mean, this emoji story used emojis, darren, to get around tiktok rules, advertise guys, people smugglers. we've known that traffickers have been using tiktok and other platforms for yonks. now, why is this still happening? it's making a complete mockery of our border force . force. >> it absolutely is. but i don't trust tiktok as far as i could do a jig on there and go viral for it. i've been banned from tiktok. there's an exclusive for viewers because , as you know,

viewers because, as you know, saying things like a woman can't have a penis. get thrown off have a penis. you get thrown off the platform, they allow you the platform, but they allow you to people trafficking wares to sell people trafficking wares and business on there. and i actually really worry that this is the chinese up to no good. i actually wouldn't be surprised if they're saying, oh, let's turn a blind eye sort of turn a blind eye to that sort of thing. i know that sounds thing. and i know that sounds a bit conspiratorial, but i really do believe that tiktok is ultimately trying to ruin the west because china would ultimately be the beneficiaries of the west going mad on all of these issues. >> i mean, it certainly is nuts, the content. you can find on there. steven on tiktok is very divisive . you have tiktok divisive. you have tiktok accounts that are basically encouraging and glorifying child transitioning. you have two different genders. you have accounts that are, well, just very nasty. and it it's not a great conspiracy to say that this is actually something to attack the west with. >> i generally don't. i genuinely don't know about it. >> i thought tiktok was all

about smirking cats doing funny things. >> it started out that way. but as all these things, they become highly political and they show the our society. the extremes of our society. they that's what do. they they that's what they do. they highlight our highlight the extremes of our society and them normal, society and make them normal, which think negatively impacts which i think negatively impacts our . but just on the our society. but just on the emojis and the fact that, you know, people traffickers are using tiktok to advertise their wares, to tout their business, essentially, it's quite incredible. does that put to bed the idea that every single person crossing in a dinghy over to this channel is a vulnerable victim of persecution? >> no. >> no. >> you can be vulnerable and still take advantage of it. but look, i think remember when look, i think i remember when you and i both london you and i were both at london school of economics. you were doing phd or master's or doing a phd or a master's or something, rather marvellous, not rather more not a phd, rather rather more than but i can still than me, but i can still remember my economics lecturer said, pure said, if you want to see pure capitalism, the mafia, capitalism, look at the mafia, look at them. they are the purest all capitalists. these purest of all capitalists. these people actually the people are actually gaming the system superbly every system superbly well and every day at holland where they day i look at holland where they don't problem because don't have this problem because they assess their they actually assess their immigrants on the point of

arrival. they have a big place at schiphol airport and they deal it there. and then and deal with it there. and then and i just if only we could i just think if only we could have done this at the have actually done this at the beginning, every single beginning, because every single day ourselves to be day we allow ourselves to be overwhelmed the numbers and day we allow ourselves to be oveactually�*d the numbers and day we allow ourselves to be oveactually don't.1e numbers and day we allow ourselves to be oveactually don't. weiumbers and day we allow ourselves to be oveactually don't. we do bers and day we allow ourselves to be oveactually don't. we do azrs and we actually don't. we do a disservice to those people who we help, who are we want to help, who are genuinely entitled. are genuinely entitled. and we are just handing over just basically handing over money most evil, money to some of the most evil, vile girls ever made. >> and darren, we heard from priti patel earlier about how lawyers are there. >> she involved very much >> she do involved very much involved there. they're charging thousands of pounds to submit false asylum claims for illegal immigrants. now, when you talk about lefty lawyers, you often get a lot of abuse. you're called a conspiracy theorist. you're called a bigot for even raising the issue that there might be activist lawyers might be some activist lawyers out who don't have the out there who don't have the best interests the british best interests of the british people at heart and who like to make buck out of out of make a quick buck out of out of asylum claims. >> there are legitimate concerns here because even clement attlee, former leader of the labour party, founder of the nhs and all rest of it, he had

and all the rest of it, he had concerns about joining the echr because he actually it because he said actually it would britain's would chip away at britain's sovereignty. and would argue sovereignty. and i would argue that ultimately the echr has been responsible for that, where the british people , time after the british people, time after time demand border controls and actually a tightening of the number of people coming here. but we can't actually do that because time and time again our sovereignty keeps being infringed upon , in my view, by infringed upon, in my view, by this court or by the convention itself, where lawyers in this country are saying, let's use that convention to allow someone who may be a foreign dangerous offender from actually being deported from this country. >> so darren says the law is the problem. what about the lawyers themselves? well, we've been here before, haven't we? >> do remember the iraq case? there was a particular firm of solicitors who made millions putting in these spurious claims for people saying that they were victims of iraq. i, victims of iraq. but look, i, i still it almost impossible still find it almost impossible to believe that we're still talking when i was talking about this. when i was i deau talking about this. when i was i dealt with hundreds, if not thousands of immigration cases

as an mp. and i was saying the other day i had there was a famous photograph of general petraeus, of petraeus, who was the head of the american forces in afghanistan 4 people. afghanistan with 3 or 4 people. and have seen times and i must have seen 20 times that picture would be given to me with photoshopped heads on it from i went to the from the people. i went to the home the home home office and not the home office about it. nothing. office did about it. nothing. absolutely that the absolutely i think that is the gaping that well, that was between 1997 and 2019 has always been a bit useless, it seems. >> i mean, they can't protect our borders. >> know side >> i don't know whose side they're on. they're not on. >> they're on your side or >> they're not on your side or my side. >> they're not on your side or my i ide. >> they're not on your side or my i don't know side >> i don't know whose side they're they. they're on. perhaps they. perhaps lawyers who perhaps the lawyers side who knows? but that's all for this houn knows? but that's all for this hour. but not to worry. we have all news, debate and all the latest news, debate and analysis moment. let analysis in just a moment. let me what you think about the me know what you think about the fact that illegal traffickers are using to tout their are using tiktok to tout their business they're by business and they're doing it by using they're getting using emojis. they're getting around is around the rules. it is absolute. a laughing absolute. makes us a laughing stock, anyway, am stock, i think. anyway, i am emily carver and you're watching stock, i think. anyway, i am enlisteningr and you're watching stock, i think. anyway, i am enlistening to nd you're watching stock, i think. anyway, i am enlistening to gb/ou're watching stock, i think. anyway, i am enlistening to gb news,watching or listening to gb news, britain's channel. britain's news channel. >> temperature's rising. >> the temperature's rising. a boxt the tock. proud boxt solar. the tick tock. proud sponsors weather on gb news.

still at still with showers around at times, the rain that will progress its way into scotland, though it will probably it though it will probably make it feel rather cooler compared to sunday temperatures sunday here. temperatures ranging 17 and 22 c. ranging between 17 and 22 c. some of those showers and outbreaks of rain will still be lingering first thing on tuesday morning. potentially quite heavy for southern for parts of wales, southern england , first thing, but a few england, first thing, but a few brighter, sunniest spells once again develop in again trying to develop in there. a bit more sunshine there. so a bit more sunshine compared general, compared to monday in general, but wet and windy but further wet and windy weather on cards, weather is on the cards, particularly as we towards particularly as we head towards wednesday. enjoy the rest of your day. bye bye . your day. bye bye. >> the temperatures rising, boxt solar. proud sponsors of weather on .

i >> -- >> okay , before we go further >> okay, before we go further away . away. good afternoon. welcome . to this lunchtime. >> i'm emily carver. for the next hour, i'll be keeping you company on tv, online and radio. so coming up this hour, the prime minister says he's on the side drivers . prime minister says he's on the side drivers. he's prime minister says he's on the side drivers . he's ordered side of drivers. he's ordered a review the rollout of low review into the rollout of low traffic . do you traffic neighbourhoods. do you believe him? last time i checked , we're getting rather close to the planned 2030 on petrol the planned 2030 ban on petrol and diesel car sales. should he go further and ditch his net

zero target? and this week the prime minister will meet energy bosses ahead of revealing uk's plan for energy security. the plan for energy security. the plan could include committing to new oil and gas licences in the nonh new oil and gas licences in the north sea, despite the ongoing protests from climate activists of course, and pouring millions into carbon capture to make it all a bit greener. i'll find out whether that's a good use of taxpayers money. and have we seen a victory for common sense in another u—turn ? and after in another u—turn? and after months of equivocation, sir keir starmer accepted starmer has finally accepted that a woman is an adult human female with a general election looming and more u—turns than a learner driver, does the man have any principles at all? we'll be debating that in just one moment. and as ever , please one moment. and as ever, please do in touch with your views do get in touch with your views on stories of today. you on the big stories of today. you can get in touch by emailing gbviews@gbnews.com or tweet me at gb news. but first, let's get the news headlines . 2:01. the news headlines. 2:01. >> i'm ray addison . our top

>> i'm ray addison. our top story this hour, former home secretary dame priti patel has told gb news the government needs to clamp down on lefty lawyers to stop illegal migration. she says the attorney general and the lord chancellor need to take action over how law firms behave . now, says the firms behave. now, says the number of channel crossings continues to climb. more than 41,700 people intercepted in small boats so far this year. dame priti has warning that the clock is ticking for the government to implement its new illegal migration bill. >> we need a deterrent factor for a start, and removals and returns. my rwanda plan was central to that. the returns agreements that i have put in place and others are now putting in place. we have to get planes leaving the country and show that if you come here illegally , you can't just get a free pass being firm is actually the stance that we should take, and that means removing people and returning to other third returning people to other third countries or country of origin as well. >> dame pretty also spoke to camilla tominey about the net

zero target, saying the government needs to press pause on the 2050 climate goal and put pubuc on the 2050 climate goal and put public are not ready for this . public are not ready for this. >> and importantly, we cannot just have this state, the government , central government government, central government just sort of saying across again, institutions, local councils, county councils, this these are the targets that you have to meet when we don't have the technology , we're not ready. the technology, we're not ready. now, if we want a sensible conversation about climate and the impact of climate change, recognising there are problems is one thing. absolutely but making sure that we have the tools and the ability that doesn't impose costs and taxes on ordinary people , the energy on ordinary people, the energy and security secretary says he and security secretary says he and his family have struggled to open accounts at major banks in the wake of the nigel farage i'ow. >> row. >> grant shapps told the sun that the problem stems from being a politically exposed person. he accused banks of going too far. it comes as mr farage launched a new website to help people who , like him, have

help people who, like him, have had their bank accounts forcibly closed. the gb news presenter says 1000 accounts are being shut every day. >> what i've learned in the three weeks since i came out, as it were , i've just been it were, i've just been inundated by small businesses , inundated by small businesses, by folk all around the country , by folk all around the country, people in absolute fear, terror lives being ruined. thousands of businesses are being closed. >> the prime minister is ordering a review into the rollout of low traffic neighbourhoods. the scheme , neighbourhoods. the scheme, which has been used by councils to stop drivers cutting through residential areas , has been seen residential areas, has been seen by some as an attack on motorists. in an interview with the sunday telegraph , rishi the sunday telegraph, rishi sunak said he supports people's right to use their cars to do all the things that matter to them. shadow international trade secretary nick thomas—symonds saying the prime minister should leave the decision to local areas . areas. >> our position is that it is for community ses to make these

decisions, whether it is in terms of low traffic neighbourhoods where by the way, there are communities up and down the country, you want to reduce traffic going through their neighbourhoods, whether it is in terms of you know, clean air zones. we've talked obviously specifically about ulez . yes, we certainly believe ulez. yes, we certainly believe a well planned low traffic neighbourhood is a good thing . neighbourhood is a good thing. >> and the hs2 programme has been given a red rating by the infrastructure watchdog. it believes the timetable for construction of the first two phases of the rail line that's from london to birmingham and then on to crewe are unachieved . all the ipa's annual report , . all the ipa's annual report, which followed the resignation of chief executive mark thurston cites made major issues with the schedule and the budget. hs2 was initially slated to open in 2026. this has now been delayed by ”p 2026. this has now been delayed by up to seven years. this is gb news. we'll bring you more as it happens. now let's get back to

emily and gb news. sunday >> thank you very much, ray. so i'm on the side of drivers, says the prime minister , as he orders the prime minister, as he orders a review of low traffic neighbourhood plans designed to limit traffic in town and city centres. the department for transport will review the policies , which include policies, which include preventing drivers from using residential roads as through routes to encourage them to use other modes of transport, like bicycles , presumably so news bicycles, presumably so gb news reporter lisa hartle has been following story and joins us following the story and joins us from hackney, where there are many ltns . lisa, thank many of these ltns. lisa, thank you very much indeed . so rishi you very much indeed. so rishi sunak has come out quite strong. he says . i am sunak has come out quite strong. he says. i am on sunak has come out quite strong. he says . i am on motorists side he says. i am on motorists side . i am on your side. he says. i am on motorists side . i am on your side . so he's . i am on your side. so he's leading this review to yeah , so leading this review to yeah, so we're in hackney, which is has

the largest proportion of these uns the largest proportion of these ltns low traffic neighbourhoods zones covering about 70% of the borough. >> so i've been speaking to some of the people who live around here about these these zones. you can see a road behind me that's one of those that's affected. so if a driver goes down there that doesn't have a permit, so doesn't live here, then they could receive a fine of around £60. cameras of around £60. there's cameras just but the residents of around £60. there's cameras just i've but the residents of around £60. there's cameras just i've been but the residents of around £60. there's cameras just i've been speakingisidents of around £60. there's cameras just i've been speaking to,ants of around £60. there's cameras just i've been speaking to, one that i've been speaking to, one lady that she says she lady said that she says she doesn't think it's working because will mount because motorbikes will mount the to try and avoid the pavement to try and avoid getting caught by the camera. which of course, she said is more dangerous her. she says more dangerous for her. she says she it because if she doesn't like it because if she's out, for she's on a night out, for example, gets back at early example, gets back at the early hours she gets hours of the morning, she gets an uber back. she can't be dropped off at home. and so it's not safe for to walk up the not safe for her to walk up the street get in. another lady street to get in. another lady i spoke was in favour of spoke to, she was in favour of this. she said before these came into play, there a lot of into play, there was a lot of traffic down here. so traffic going down here. so of course, whole point of these course, the whole point of these is and improve air is to try and improve air quality for people living in areas like this, she said. people people their

people more people take their children bikes children to school using bikes and but then and things like that. but then there someone else spoke there was someone else i spoke to said she thinks the to and she said she thinks the problem is it's pushing. yes it reduces places like reduces traffic in places like this, the traffic out this, pushing the traffic out into areas. she said into other areas. but she said into other areas. but she said in her opinion, it's pushing traffic from affluent areas such as areas where as this one into areas where there's people who have there's people living who have less money. and causing them there's people living who have less rof 1ey. and causing them there's people living who have less rof 1e problem causing them there's people living who have less rof 1e problem forusing them there's people living who have less rof 1e problem for them.:hem there's people living who have less rof 1e problem for them. ifem more of a problem for them. if there's congestion on the there's more congestion on the roads, then said, it's roads, then she said, then it's causing air pollution roads, then she said, then it's cauother air pollution roads, then she said, then it's cauother people. air pollution roads, then she said, then it's cauother people. so ir pollution roads, then she said, then it's cauother people. so it'sollution for other people. so it's obviously a very controversial issue and the review that rishi sunak ordered the department sunak has ordered the department for to into for transport to look into how will this all works and what what impact it is having will be an interesting one, though it's not clear even if the what not clear yet even if the what the review finds, it's not clear as to the government the review finds, it's not clear as t

what happens. rishi sunak at least has says has said he's on the side motorists. whatever the side of motorists. whatever that very much that means. thank you very much indeed. news. reporter lisa indeed. gb news. reporter lisa hartle live hackney, hartle there live from hackney, where ltns where there are many, many ltns andifs where there are many, many ltns and it's dividing the public as you imagine. but moving on you can imagine. but moving on to something a little bit related, the government will meet week meet energy bosses this week ahead of revealing uk's plan for energy security. it includes committing new oil and gas committing to new oil and gas licences in the north sea. that's despite ongoing protests from likes of just stop oil from the likes of just stop oil who want to see absolutely no new oil and gas drilling. it's likely he'll also announce plans to millions pounds into to pour millions of pounds into carbon capture projects in scotland . that's to make the scotland. that's to make the drilling all a little bit greener. the prime minister and energy secretary, grant shapps, will meet top figures from the oil and gas renewable and nuclear industries over the course shapps course of the week. shapps hoping shapps is hoping to revive nuclear energy within the uk as part of this big plan. of course , that comes after the course, that comes after the anger about london's ulez expansion . so i can now speak expansion. so i can now speak with the deputy director of net

zero. watch andrew mumford. andrew thank you very much indeed. andrew thank you very much indeed . i mean, good news for indeed. i mean, good news for you probably that the prime minister is giving the go ahead to new oil and gas exploration. do you think all this money going into carbon capture is a good thing? is it money well spent ? spent? >> carbon capture is it's a bit of a fig leaf, really. carbon capture has been tried around the world. there's been lots of sort of pilot plants built . sort of pilot plants built. >> they've all been sick , >> they've all been sick, significant failures. >> essentially they use so much energy in trying to capture the carbon that the electricity, the power they produce then is unaffordable . unaffordable. >> all they've been made to work expensively, if you like , but expensively, if you like, but only for coal power , a coal only for coal power, a coal fired power stations. >> they've never been made to work for gas fired power stations, which is what we have in the uk. we have almost no coal at all. so this is coal left at all. so this is this is really a fig leaf. this

is so the government can pretend to still be green while actually carrying on with with gas exploration in the north sea. >> that's what that's what i suspected . but also why do we, suspected. but also why do we, the taxpayer, have to pay for carbon capture? presumably if it's this fantastic technology , it's this fantastic technology, the industry itself would want to pay for it ? to pay for it? >> well, at the end of the day, we pay for it. >> whatever happens, it either comes through our taxes or it comes through our taxes or it comes through our taxes or it comes through higher bills. >> at the end of the day, the fact is that the power produced with carbon capture will be more expensive power produced expensive than power produced without it. so of course without it. so and of course then there are then knock on problems because of course the pnces problems because of course the prices in the electricity market are set by the gas fired power stations. so essentially all the wind farms then get a higher price from the consumer as well. so lose for the so it's lose lose for the consumer. yeah. um, and when win for everybody else, guess now we've heard a lot from oil and

gas companies who are still up in the north sea. >> they're thinking about essentially, well , moving to essentially, well, moving to other areas of the world because they're being taxed so heavily. these windfall taxes that came out of the blue. how bad is the situation as it stands ? our oil situation as it stands? our oil and gas companies still committed to drilling in the nonh committed to drilling in the north sea , or are they north sea, or are they reassessing their options ? reassessing their options? >> they really are reassessing their options. we've had several major oil companies saying that essentially they are going to stop new investment in the north sea . um, and so that means that sea. um, and so that means that we will we will import oil and gas from other countries , which gas from other countries, which is guess is fine to an extent it's, it's a bit of a security risk and it's if you're if you're green minded it's got higher carbon emissions associated with it too . but the associated with it too. but the whole of uk energy policy is

grinding to a halt. it's self—contradictory . so we're you self—contradictory. so we're you know we are if you like we're we're forcing the country to move to renewables in a big way, which gives us very expensive electricity at the same time, we're trying to electrify everything in the economy now , everything in the economy now, how are you going to electrify everything in the economy if your electricity is really, really expensive? i mean , it's really expensive? i mean, it's a nonsense . nonsense. >> and just very quickly, what really annoys me about all this is that we can pour millions into carbon capture, which, as you say, will probably make our energy bills more expensive, or at least our taxes higher. but it's not going to have the slightest difference to the global temperature, is it ? slightest difference to the global temperature, is it? i mean, we know that we're responsible for less than 1% of emissions. so as long as china continues to build coal mines , continues to build coal mines, then, you know, it's what's it all for? it does seem like virtue signalling that is

exactly what it is. >> the government has actually been pretty clear about this, that this is about showing our leadership. so all this money that that people all in this country are being told they have to spend. and i mean, these are huge sums of money. you know, tens of thousands of pounds per household. these are being spent so that our political leaders can demonstrate leadership. now, the fact that the rest of the world isn't following their leadership, or at least most of the rest of the world isn't certainly places like china and russia aren't. and these are the big . um, it just it , big emitters. um, it just it, it's a kick in the teeth really, for for, people at home in this country who are going we are going to become a poor country. there's no doubt about this. you know, cannot be a wealthy know, you cannot be a wealthy country if you have expensive electricity . there are no electricity. there are no wealthy countries that have expensive energy . well, that's expensive energy. well, that's very, very going to have to get used to being poor. >> that's a very good point. thank you very much indeed.

andrew mumford there, deputy director of net zero. watch. so i to get my panel's opinion i want to get my panel's opinion on andrew had to say there. on what andrew had to say there. stephen you're a bit of a green bean. >> oh, you're probably delighted about carbon capture. about this carbon capture. >> no, no investment . no, no. >> no, no investment. no, no. >> no, no investment. no, no. >> i think the problem we got here is just just when the conservatives, for example, when they brought in ulez and when they brought in ulez and when the conservative mayor brought ulez didn't think the conservative mayor brought uithrough. didn't think the conservative mayor brought uithrough. the didn't think the conservative mayor brought uithrough. the thingdn't think the conservative mayor brought uithrough. the thing aboutink it through. the thing about carbon is that's two carbon capture is that's two thirds equation. it's thirds of the equation. it's carbon capture and storage. once you've got these millions of cubic what the cubic metres of gas, what the hell you do with them? and hell do you do with them? and the original suggestion was that you them in disused you put them in disused coal mines. somebody said, mines. then somebody else said, put the vacuum that's put them in the vacuum that's been left after extraction been left after the extraction of but as far as i'm of north sea. but as far as i'm concerned, looked at that concerned, if you looked at that picture you've just shown, picture that you've just shown, your also gas being your view is also of gas being flared in the power station flared off in the power station thatis flared off in the power station that is the worst possible thing. the sooner we get onto nuclear clean, secure, nuclear good, clean, secure, safe, nuclear good, clean, secure, saf> well, that's likely to be announced to more nuclear investment. >> let's for that. but >> well, let's go for that. but the about energy security the thing about energy security is very important. germany is very important. when germany invested 2, which

is very important. when germany in'going 2, which is very important. when germany in'going to 2, which is very important. when germany in'going to be 2, which is very important. when germany in'going to be this 2, which is very important. when germany in'going to be this direct2, which is going to be this direct pipeline, know, from from pipeline, as you know, from from russia hamburg, that makes russia to hamburg, that makes them thrall putin. we've them in thrall to putin. we've got have some sort energy got to have some sort of energy security. and got the security. and we've got the possibility for solar power. we've and we've got tidal wind and nuclear. let's go for that. let's have our own let's have instead of electricite de france, let's have electric city de grande bretagne, patriotic electricity . electricity. >> yeah, that's right. >> yeah, that's right. >> with a flag on it. >> with a flag on it. >> this puts the labour party in a little bit of a tricky situation because they've been equivocating over oil and gas. keir starmer said no new oil and gas, which is what? just stop oil want. but then the trade unions said, well, hang on mate , that's going to cost us thousands and thousands of jobs, not least up in scotland, where the north sea is. so what does he do with this? because he's pro carbon capture, presumably , pro carbon capture, presumably, but not oil and gas. pro carbon capture, presumably, but not oil and gas . absolutely. but not oil and gas. absolutely. >> so you've got mark drakeford is the first minister in wales who is arguing as well as sadiq khan with the labour leadership,

and they're trying to work out a position he's taken more positions than the kamasutra . positions than the kamasutra. it's absurd, but i actually think, you know, what andrew said there in your interview where he was talking about leadership . i tell you where leadership. i tell you where i want leadership. i want leadership. in cases like barbara bolton, who was 87in greater manchester, she died last winter because of the sheer size of the energy bills that were coming through. for people like barbara and she was too scared to put the heating on, even though her family begged her to do so. and you said, you know, we'll and that was the inquiry that found that we'll look into paying that for you. you know, please put the heating on.and you know, please put the heating on. and she didn't. she was terrified to death. terrified and scared to death. and people that and we've got people like that emily in this country, which is considered one of the wealthiest countries in the world, too afraid to put the heating on. i just think that that is a disgrace. it makes me really angry. i can't tell you. >> you know what annoys me about our politicians? they say we're

one of the richer countries in the ergo we should spend the world, ergo we should spend lots of money on being the pioneers of net zero and reaching our climate targets as quickly as possible. well, actually , per capita, people actually, per capita, people aren't feeling that rich. absolutely. when they see their bills go up . and we're already bills go up. and we're already getting warnings about this winter coming that bills could be rising very high indeed. and we'll be extremely expensive. stephen, how do we square this circle? most people watching and listening this show want our planet to be greener. they want us all to live in a hospitable environment . us all to live in a hospitable environment. but us all to live in a hospitable environment . but net zero environment. but net zero policies, they're not going to change the temperature of the climate. are they really? what do we do here? >> i have to say it's marvellous to hear you agreeing. so online with tony blair. i mean, tony blair made a statement last week. i think, you know, for all that a controversial figure that he's a controversial figure and was and everything. it was an incredibly important statement. and everything. it was an incisaidly important statement. and everything. it was an incisaid inimportant statement. and everything. it was an incisaid inimp(lastt statement. and everything. it was an incisaid inimp(last eightament. and everything. it was an incisaid inimp(last eight years, he said in the last eight years, china emitted more carbon he said in the last eight years, chinithe emitted more carbon he said in the last eight years, chinithe whole:ed more carbon he said in the last eight years, chinithe whole of more carbon he said in the last eight years, chinithe whole of thise carbon he said in the last eight years, chinithe whole of this countryl than the whole of this country since the first day of the

industrial revolution. therefore, in the therefore, how can we in the developed world say the developed world say to the developing world, we you to developing world, we want you to tighten belts and we want tighten your belts and we want you to stop doing this when we have actually taken the benefits and advantage. what tony and the advantage. and what tony blair this is blair is saying, this is a global this is global global problem. this is global boiling. what you boiling. call it what you want, but can't solve on our but we can't solve it on our own. that doesn't mean that we shouldn't light a candle and just darkness. we just curse the darkness. we should do something should actually do something about we've to about it. but we've got to recognise that to be a recognise that there has to be a global solution. now china global solution. now if china simply we're going to simply says we're not going to stop new coal fired stop building new coal fired power earth do power stations, what on earth do we do? >> about what? i don't think there's there's no such >> about what? i don't think there' as there's no such >> about what? i don't think there' as a there's no such >> about what? i don't think there'as a globalhere's no such >> about what? i don't think there'as a global solution. such thing as a global solution. >> well, there be. >> well, there has to be. >> well, there has to be. >> emily. >> emily. >> there has to be. i'm sorry. >>— >> there has to be. i'm sorry. >> just not how politics >> that's just not how politics works. and you know that when countries things. countries don't agree on things. >> the moment. >> well, not at the moment. >> well, not at the moment. >> i mean, the european union can't agree on their global boiling, though. >> you, blood is >> i tell you, my blood is boiling. never mind global boiling. never mind global boiling. these attempts boiling. never mind global boiliterrify these attempts boiling. never mind global boiliterrify the iese attempts boiling. never mind global boiliterrify the british empts boiling. never mind global boiliterrify the british public. just terrify the british public. you you watch the news you know, you watch the news these days and you all the these days and you hit all the time with blackened out maps

channel welcome back to gb news sunday with me, emily carver on your tv onune with me, emily carver on your tv online and radio. now we have some sad news. according to the british consortium around british retail consortium around 6000 shops have closed in 6000 shops have closed down in britain the past five britain in just the past five years overall vacancy years with the overall vacancy increasing of increasing since the start of this chief exec of the this year. the chief exec of the british consortium british retail consortium consortium has crippling consortium has claimed crippling business rates and the covid lockdowns these lockdowns have been key to these closures the latest figures closures with the latest figures released for the second quarter of showing that the of this year showing that the vacancy the uk's vacancy rate for the uk's high streets 13.9. streets now stands at 13.9. that's up a bit on the last three months. so alex schlagman founding the founding partner of save the high org, now. high street org, joins me now. who better to talk to? so it's pretty sad state of affairs that

13.9% of shops are essentially well closed not being used . i'd well closed not being used. i'd have had to be closed down. do you agree with the assessment that this is knock on effect of lockdowns and then also business rates . rates. >> well, firstly, emily, it is sad that every every time a business closes clearly, but to look at the overall impact on high streets, we've got to look at the full picture of both openings and closings. >> so in terms of closings , >> so in terms of closings, closures on the high street , you closures on the high street, you know, we're seeing signific numbers over the last five years. and in terms of the openings, the reality is that large national brands have stopped growing and many of them have very publicly disappeared from our high streets for 18% of the independent sector has closed year on year. but 14% has opened. closed year on year. but 14% has opened . now, what we need to do opened. now, what we need to do next is we need to increase the

rate of businesses opening on high streets and clearly reduce the number of those closings. we've got to look at both sides of the coin and why should we care if people are getting their products from elsewhere or from onune? >> the amazons of this world? oh, no, alex has gone . oh, i was oh, no, alex has gone. oh, i was going to ask him why. we need to care about the high street going down. we'll see if we can get alex back. luckily enough, alex back. but luckily enough, i have darren and stephen here to answer the question for me. darren, we that the darren, should we care that the high street all these closed high street has all these closed shops it's dwindling shops on it, that it's dwindling , doing very well? , that it's not doing very well? >> well, look, emily, i mean, you know, especially in the north—east, of course, up you know, especially in the nort down t, of course, up you know, especially in the nort down the of course, up you know, especially in the nort down the country, rse, up you know, especially in the nort down the country, napoleon, and down the country, napoleon, once he, that once said, didn't he, that england a nation of england is a nation of shopkeepers. much anymore shopkeepers. not so much anymore . so but the one saving grace, the only positive i can think out of all of this will be that actually maybe that the stock can be turned into housing because have because cause actually we have a really chronic shortage of housing this country, but housing in this country, but things like business rates need to looked those to be looked at to save those who struggling . and smes who are struggling. and smes right small, medium

right now, small, medium enterprises and there has to be a way in which we make a plus out of this because you're not going to get the football back on the high street. i mean, you must know the metro centre. stephen in gateshead , you look, stephen in gateshead, you look, iused stephen in gateshead, you look, i used to work there a decade ago. >> darren. we'll hear about that in just one moment. but we have alex back. alex. alex can you tell us thank you for coming back. can you tell us why we should about the high should care about the high street we have other street when we have other opfions street when we have other options available to us? >> well, look, high streets, the heartbeat community and heartbeat of local community and local economy. you know, where we are at the moment is not the high street. we should be looking towards for the future. we high street that's we need a high street that's much more experiential, more community driven, more locally focussed, the needs of focussed, serving the needs of the community than it does the local community than it does today. you hollow out and today. but if you hollow out and you take the high street away, you take the high street away, you lose a massive platform for entrepreneurs ownership and you really basically you, you , you, really basically you, you, you, you inject all kinds of energy into the local economy when you

stimulate the high street. now every vacant space is an opportunity ity to improve the high street, get the right businesses in the right places, doing the right things . so we doing the right things. so we need to look at the positive from this as well. >> yes, there's nothing more depressing than walking depressing thing than walking past through a high past walking through a high street you see is street where all you see is boarded shops and very boarded up shops and very miserable and not many people out and about. miserable and not many people out and about . a roaring high out and about. a roaring high street is a lovely thing and it's something that's for great community spirit and an elderly people as well who can actually chat to people instead of sitting at home behind a computer doing their shopping . computer doing their shopping. it's essential. but i do wonder, can we personalise this a little bit, alex what stories have you heard from businesses that have had to unfortunately close their doors ? i'm sure there are shops doors? i'm sure there are shops that have on local that have been on their local high decades who have high street for decades who have finally had to say, you know what, we're making a loss for too long. can't keep too long. we just can't keep open. >> yeah, yeah. and you know,

savethehighstreet.org was supporting thousands of businesses around the uk at various stages of their journey and, you know, when it comes down to it, we're not just talking about a big faceless corporation here. we're talking about livelihoods. corporation here. we're talking about talking livelihoods. corporation here. we're talking about talking aboutihoods. corporation here. we're talking about talking about people's we're talking about people's hopes and dreams and the reality is that, you know, when you're in a situation where the costs like the business rate challenges and covid hits at the same time and the energy crisis hits at the same time, a number of businesses have had to take difficult decisions not to continue, but many others have fought on and actually , there is fought on and actually, there is another side of the story . there another side of the story. there are lots of growing independents out there who just need access to the space support to to the space and support to really fulfil their potential. now >> thank you very much indeed, alex schlagman, founding partner of save the street.org. of save the high street.org. keep doing what you're doing. it sounds you're doing some sounds like you're doing some good stuff there. just good stuff there. stephen just very just your very quickly, to just get your view you think it's view on this, do you think it's game over for the high street? covid the snail in the covid was the snail in the coffin? >> no, absolutely not. you know,

the retail experience changes over but look, over the years. but look, i think you said something incredibly what incredibly important that what could depressing than could be more depressing than a whole world of tinned shops whole world of tinned up shops closed that will closed down because that will lead lead to lead to crime. it will lead to people around in there. people hanging around in there. it'll just general it'll just give that general sense some sort of dystopic sense of some sort of dystopic world is falling down world which is falling down about ears. that the about your ears. and that is the important second important thing. the second thing all these small thing is that if all these small shops you the shops close, you know, the butcher, the baker and the greengrocer and everybody is forced big supermarket, forced into one big supermarket, firstly got drive to firstly you've got to drive to the thing, is rather the thing, which is rather counter what counter indicative from what we're talking about on. we're talking about earlier on. and secondly, gives an and secondly, that gives an incredible power to the supermarkets. they can actually control market, can control the market, they can actually prices. so actually control the prices. so look credit to the look and give credit to the government . there's couple of government. there's a couple of things quite things they've done quite sensibly. was the great sensibly. one, one was the great british street initiative, sensibly. one, one was the great britiwe've street initiative, sensibly. one, one was the great britiwe've got:reet initiative, sensibly. one, one was the great britiwe've got johninitiative, sensibly. one, one was the great britiwe've got john martin e, sensibly. one, one was the great britiwe've got john martin around and we've got john martin around my way. actually 111 of my way. there's actually 111 of our local streets where you have small, local, independent traders government traders where the government actually them and actually does support them and actually does support them and actually , the second is actually, the second thing is i think we should just is flats over? >> stephen i think we should just cut, cut their taxes. i think that's the big issue,

isn't it? it's just so expensive to run a business these days and all the various regulations and all the various regulations and all paperwork you have to do all the paperwork you have to do and everything that just makes it to it that bit too difficult to stay open for people and of course, is a knock on from course, this is a knock on from the pandemic well, where they the pandemic as well, where they were shut and couldn't were forced to shut and couldn't make any money at we make any money at all. but we are going on. you're are going to move on. you're watching and listening to gb news emily news sunday with me, emily carver. more carver. we've got lots more coming on today's show. let coming up on today's show. let me how your street is me know how your high street is looking. it looking bleak or looking. is it looking bleak or is it full life? let me know. is it full of life? let me know. but the first minister of scotland, humza yousaf, has unveiled passport and unveiled his passport and citizens plan an independent unveiled his passport and citizens psoundsan independent unveiled his passport and citizens psoundsan bitiependent scotland. sounds a bit of a waste time me. but waste of time to me. but opposition msps have claimed this a waste of taxpayers this is a waste of taxpayers money. there go. and sir money. there you go. and yes sir keir has defined woman keir starmer has defined a woman at is this one u—turn at last. but is this one u—turn too many? but first, let's get your news update with . ray your news update with. ray chairs emily to 32. >> our top story this hour, former home secretary dame priti

me emily carver on your tv onune me emily carver on your tv online and radio. so nigel farage has been clocking up the winds this week, hasn't he? in response to his campaign? the government stepping its government is stepping up its crackdown banks that block crackdown on banks that block accounts the basis accounts on the basis of customers views. that's amid treasury plans to extend closure rules businesses , the rules to businesses, the telegraph reports. ministers are proposing give business proposing banks give business account least 90 days account holders at least 90 days nofice account holders at least 90 days notice termination . that notice of termination. that would nice and with an would be nice and with an explanation of their explanation of why their accounts were closed . so gb news accounts were closed. so gb news is nigel farage called for is nigel farage has called for a culture across the entire culture change across the entire bank industry following the closure of his account. of course, now i want to see what my panel make of all this and in particular, what this has done for nigel farage's reputation across the political spectrum. he's had a pretty good three weeks, hasn't he? stephen well, it's not bad, is it? >> i reckon he's behind all this. i believe in a good conspira sea from no, no, no. i cannot believe the ceo happened to be sitting at dinner next on july the 3rd this year next to the bbc's political

correspondent. oh by the way, you know, he didn't have enough money the account. it's money in the bank account. it's too to be true. but nigel too good to be true. but nigel farage, some ways farage, i mean, in some ways he's the gift that keeps on giving. just when you think he's like duracell bunny on like the duracell bunny keeps on racing, those racing, all those things, those those knocked them those toys, you knocked them down. came again. this down. up they came again. this he's on a slightly serious note. he's really he's doing some really important, here. important, serious work here. who about de—banking? i'd who knew about de—banking? i'd never heard of it. know when i never heard of it. i know when i was in in northern ireland, i had some trouble with my mobile phone. and was told, oh, yes, phone. and i was told, oh, yes, you know, you're a high priority customer. and i said, what does you know, you're a high priority cust well, you go . what's >> well, there you go. what's to add that, add to that, darren? >> absolutely. >> well, absolutely. >> well, absolutely. >> do think he's done some >> i do think he's done some sterling work, i think it's sterling work, and i think it's really important to also highlight it's just highlight that it's not just banking right? runs banking, right? this runs through it going to end? through when's it going to end? are going have energy are we going to have energy companies saying, well, actually you so i'm you voted for brexit. so i'm going to off your supply?

going to shut off your supply? there are so many ways in which actually it's just actually i think it's just inherently your inherently wrong for your politics to come into the equafion politics to come into the equation here. >> you know what i am >> do you know what i am interested in? recruitment, in the jobs market? how much do you think your views are assessed when you apply for a job and should they be? so, for example, if someone who'd been vocal on twitter about politics, maybe centre right, god forbid , and centre right, god forbid, and then applied to be a teacher , then applied to be a teacher, where do you think there'd be a problem there? >> well, it entirely depends on what it is. >> i mean, what we now have in politics, i think there would be well, don't forget, we now have due because what due diligence because what happens dig happens nowadays, people dig deeply, into people's deeply, deeply into people's social lot of politicians are >> and a lot of politicians are prospective politicians who have been selected for constituencies today this today are going through this immensely of immensely deep, deep trawl of everything they've ever said. and, know, we've all said and, you know, we've all said stupid. know about stupid. well, i don't know about you you're probably above you two. you're probably above this i said this sort of thing. but i said some fairly stupid things down the pub. >> i'm not talking about politicians least politicians because at least they're talk about politics. >> no, no, no.

>>— >> no, no, no. >> their tweets should be assessed there to assessed and they're there to represent. talking represent. but i'm talking about the who applies the everyday person who applies for using teacher as for a job. i'm using teacher as an example because i think that's particularly politicised sometimes times. but if you've been you're been talking about how you're a brexiteer about your concerns brexiteer or about your concerns about migrants your about channel migrants or your gender critical meaning you don't think someone can change their sex, do you think that you'd find hard to get a you'd find it hard to get a job in a state school? >> i mean, you >> absolutely. i mean, you mentioned earlier in mentioned you've had earlier in the from the free the show someone from the free speech union on and he was saying, look, we've business is going quite well for us. actually know, are actually you know, people are actually saying we need this union to exist because there is such a problem when it comes to speech and debate , where if you speech and debate, where if you are found to have dared say certain things like women don't have a penis or i don't know, maybe you're sceptical of net zero, maybe you've sent a tweet or two about how much you like brexit, it and all of these things are ticked against you and you've got the people assessing bank accounts and

things at the top, the very top saying actually you're politically exposed. you've tweeted this, you've said that . tweeted this, you've said that. and it's really, really incredibly dangerous because it creates a proper chilling effect. >> it's a whole industry. do you think that there's people sitting there hour after hour, going back through people's twitter account? you know, it's just embarrassing. if just embarrassing. but if somebody something which somebody says something which is stone racist, then i think maybe you actually say that you should actually say that that influence but that should influence you. but to say your views on brexit to say that your views on brexit should a determinant factor should be a determinant factor when getting job down when you get getting a job down the i mean, forget the council, i mean, forget it. that's birds. that's for the birds. >> yeah, it's diversity is king. apart the diversity of apart from the diversity of thought speech , i think it's thought and speech, i think it's quite incredible how i think it's quite incredible how nigel farage managed to garner farage has managed to garner support from across the political spectrum. support from across the politic course, rum. support from across the politic course, he 1. support from across the politic course, he is divisive >> of course, he is a divisive figure and he's managed to get many would normally many people who would normally not him on anything not agree with him on anything to actually fight his corner on this one. and nigel has shone a light on this issue that a lot of people didn't really know about. but it turns out it's impacting tens of thousands of

people. but we're going to be moving on to scotland in the latest in the campaign for scotland's second once in a generation referendum, the first minister of scotland has plans for citizenships and passports for citizenships and passports for an independent scotland . but for an independent scotland. but opposition msps in holyrood aren't best pleased with the proposals. they claim it's a waste of taxpayers money. i think i'd agree with that. but let's speak to the political editor of scottish daily editor of the scottish daily mail, michael blackley. michael, thank you very much. so it seems that humza yousaf has been very busy since becoming first minister of scotland. he's coming up with all these nice plans for what an independent scotland might look like, all the to down the colour of passport. >> yes, this was another one of these. what the scottish government tried to make quite big occasions when they release these papers, the blueprint for independence, and certainly in the in the early days, certainly in the when the white paper was launched last time around , way launched last time around, way back in 2013, i remember it

being a huge occasion when that white paper was launched . white paper was launched. >> but these days it's not really i mean, they might attempt to get a lot of news coverage from it. they may attempt to make it lead the agenda and setting out these these plans. but a lot of people really look at them and think what is going on here? you know, why why scottish why why is the scottish government much time government devoting so much time to this when it doesn't look like there's any chance of there being referendum any time being a referendum any time soon? so what we saw when humza yousaf unveiled this plan was that he got a bit of a backlash from both sides, perhaps not surprise that the pro—union parties are saying why is he distracted ? why is he wasting distracted? why is he wasting time and self—indulge urgent plans like this. but there was also a little bit of a backlash from within the pro—indy side as well, because people there were some people who felt that this isn't to going shift the dial, you know, humza yousaf of producing a paper that says we'll bring back a burgundy red

passport isn't really going to make any difference whatsoever to how many people support independence. >> no , i suppose not. >> no, i suppose not. >> no, i suppose not. >> and if nicola sturgeon didn't manage to find a route to scottish independence , it's for scottish independence, it's for national lists, then i very much doubt humza yousaf is going to be able to do it, particularly as his his nickname is humza useless. he doesn't seem to be doing particularly well when it comes to the opinion polls. am i right? right. >> well, i think he's really struggling to keep things together. in complete fairness together. in complete fairness to humza yousaf , it's probably to humza yousaf, it's probably not his fault at all. you know, he's taking taken over a party where the first minister at the time, possibly had some of what the difficulties were, some of the difficulties were, some of the dissent was hid from the public. people didn't really appreciate that there was a section of the snp that were a bit disgruntled at the way that the party has been run and ever since he's come into power, humza yousaf has faced day after

day, crisis after crisis . s and day, crisis after crisis. s and of course that's going to have an impact on, on polling of, of course he doesn't have the pubuc course he doesn't have the public persona that nicola sturgeon did. so that's, that's going to be difficult for him as well. so he's he's had a pretty difficult time in fairness to him, though. i mean , he has been him, though. i mean, he has been a little bit more open and a little bit more transparent , a little bit more transparent, a little bit more transparent, a little bit more honest perhaps about some of what has gone wrong within the snp in recent times . so wrong within the snp in recent times. so openness, wrong within the snp in recent times . so openness, openness wrong within the snp in recent times. so openness, openness and transparency is our our phrases that we haven't really used that much in describing the snp in recent years. >> i'm surprised you. i'm surprised you say that because when i think of humza yousaf, i always think of his attempted crackdowns on free speech and that doesn't always go hand in hand with trans apparency but there you go. thank you very much for bringing us up to date on that. michael blackley from the mail the scottish daily mail political editor there. so we're going move on straight to our going to move on straight to our last of the show, last story of the show, a victory for common sense,

perhaps, sir keir starmer's latest u—turn is that he has finally accepted a woman is an aduu finally accepted a woman is an adult human female . so i want to adult human female. so i want to get straight into this with my panel because i know we feel very passionately about this. now, of keir starmer got now, of course, keir starmer got into of trouble when he into a bit of trouble when he well, he equivocated and avoided the question for a while. this was when every politician under the sun was being asked, what is a woman? and then he said something like 99.9% of women of i think that was ed davey. women have a men have a penis. i can't remember what he said , but he remember what he said, but he said in 99% of the cases that is the case. >> but that was ed davey said that. >> well, no, i think keir starmer said that too. >> yeah, they've been reading. they've been reading the same notebook singing. >> worries >> that worries me. >> that worries me. >> you what do >> well, what are you what do you of this u—turn? well, you make of this u—turn? well, look, i'm actually of the view here again, going to that here again, going back to that point earlier, sir keir point i made earlier, sir keir starmer really has taken more positions you you positions than you know. you take too u—turns , emily take too many u—turns, emily quickly up in u—bend .

quickly end up in the u—bend. and but clearly that's not going the way it is for sir keir starmer. but i'll tell you who i think of at this moment. the mp for canterbury. who's rosie duffy. now, rosie has been put through the mill, right? she has suffered intensely. she spoke up as a woman who survived domestic violence. and she just said, look, i think single sex spaces like women's refuges are really important. it's important to protect them. and for saying that she wasn't offered any support by the labour party, they basically ignored her, pushed her to one side. she's a problem. let's ignore her. despite the abuse, the threats that she was receiving, she couldn't even go to her own parties conference. emily now wears fryston, who's a shadow health secretary has since now this week, i believe apologised to rosie and i think that's about time the labour party should have been behind her all along because what she's saying isn't some swivel eyed bigotry . isn't some swivel eyed bigotry. it's offering biological truth , it's offering biological truth, fact and the protection of women

and single sex spaces. >> stephen i can't imagine you have much in common with some of the backbenchers now in the labour party who seem to think that women can be men, men can be women and there's no need to think there's some people be women and there's no need to thinitie there's some people be women and there's no need to thinitie themselves some people be women and there's no need to thinitie themselves inne people be women and there's no need to thinitie themselves in knotsyple be women and there's no need to thinitie themselves in knots over this. >> yeah, they really try to make themselves and always this terrible that somebody is terrible fear that somebody is going to come over the shoulder and you're and say, you know, you're insufficiently woke on this one. look, very courageous look, rosie is a very courageous woman the only woman and she's also the only labour we've there's labour mp we've got. there's no tory around tory mps anywhere around canterbury, should canterbury, you know, she should have been given much more support. absolutely. question support. absolutely. no question about that. no question at all. but the basic fact about but i think the basic fact about that was making that she was making was actually, remember, it actually, if you remember, it came to light in scotland, the isla i forget her name, the isla bryson. >> isla bryson, you know, which pretty down pretty much brought down formerly adam graham, formerly pretty much brought down fornformerly�*n graham, formerly pretty much brought down fornformerly�*n rapist,1, formerly pretty much brought down fornformerly�*n rapist, i formerly pretty much brought down fornformerly�*n rapist, i thinkzrly and formerly a rapist, i think we double. we can say that double. >> it's matter of fact, you >> it's a matter of fact, you know, and that actually brought down the previous scottish government. this is the government. and this is the toxicity issue. on toxicity of this issue. why on earth are we tying ourselves up in we're agonising over in this? we're agonising over something surely to god is something that surely to god is pretty i

pretty straightforward. and i think a number of people, think when a number of people, including let's frank , two including let's be frank, two labour mps were abusive to rosie duffield of the duffield on the floor of the house and were making unpleasant comments should comments about it. they should be think rosie be ashamed. i think rosie duffield deserves support. they deserve duffield deserves support. they deswell, that's good hear >> well, that's good to hear from you, stephen. yeah, very good what do you good indeed. darren what do you make this? just lastly, make of this? just lastly, bigger picture wise, keir starmer obviously decided starmer is obviously decided that electorally it makes sense for him actually just say for him to actually just say what is a fact at this stage. he's he's moving away from the extreme woke ideas on this, it seems. but his list of u—turns now before he's even got into power, if he gets into power, is as long as his arm on everything from green schemes to taxes is to whatever else. >> absolutely . >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> so there is a question there, which is the british public saying, can we actually trust this man? can we actually believe what he's going to say? because he said to one thing to labour members. now he's since reversed position on that labour members. now he's since revewe've position on that labour members. now he's since revewe've justysition on that labour members. now he's since revewe've just been on that labour members. now he's since revewe've just been talkingt and we've just been talking about yousaf. if it's about humza yousaf. if it's a similar there where similar situation there where he's appease the he's trying to appease the nationalist members party

nationalist members of his party and then trying to also govern the . so there real the country. so there are real question marks . question marks. >> i just want some consistency with our politicians. >> good luck. >> good luck. >> stick to what you believe in and just go for it. at least then we what we're voting then we know what we're voting for anyway. then we know what we're voting for when y. then we know what we're voting for when the facts change, you >> when the facts change, you change mind. what would you do? >> well, yes. when the facts change, perhaps. don't change, perhaps. but i don't think pragmatic. um. think this is pragmatic. um. anyway, you been anyway, lots of you have been getting touch home on the getting in touch at home on the topics we've been discussing on keir starmer. says sir keir starmer. michael says sir keir starmer. michael says sir keir that a woman keir may have said that a woman is adult female, but is an adult human female, but i don't think he actually meant it. his admission was like watching someone their watching someone having their teeth out. yes, he he teeth pulled out. yes, he no, he does want to. he does not does not want to. he does not like question. like answering that question. he finds difficult finds it so difficult completely. says needs completely. nita says he needs to u—turn on ulez to make a real impact at women. comment is impact at the women. comment is on only now wasn't on reflection. only now wasn't spontaneous. i think that's a mixture of views there and graham has to say, given how long it has taken keir starmer to grasp the basic birds and bees of what a woman do we bees of what a woman is, do we really need slow thinker really need such a slow thinker anywhere levers of
