gbnews.com. now, though, it's back to martin and . emily back to martin and. emily >> and thanks for that update. well, welcome to the show. and we start with a major milestone in the number of people who have crossed the channel in small boats. yes, 100,000 people have now arrived in this country by the the channel, the route across the channel, despite repeated government pledges to bring the crossings to halt . our pledges to bring the crossings to halt. our homeland pledges to bring the crossings to halt . our homeland security to a halt. our homeland security edhon to a halt. our homeland security editor, mark white joins us now in the studio . good morning to in the studio. good morning to you, mark zahawi, very busy you, mark zahawi, a very busy day for you. so 100,000, that's since 2018 when we first began recording this method, because before that, of course, they were coming over via road routes mainly. the significance mainly. what's the significance of this landmark being reached? do feel ? do you feel? >> well, i think it's very significant because it is such a stark and heavy figure in terms of the number who have crossed and there is no doubt this is an issue that has sparked a lot of debate and discussion around the

country, because it's not just an issue that's felt on the kent coast. it's felt right around the country as these people are housed in hotels. >> or mark, sorry, apparently your mike is doing a little bit, too. yeah a little bit of. yeah. >> your mike's to going be we're going to sort that. so just so people are clear about when these figures were recorded. so we started recording these figures 2018 because figures in 2018 because until then mainly been hopping then mainly it had been hopping into back of lorries coming into the back of lorries coming across via the chunnel across via road, via the chunnel , and that was all clamped down on with barbed wire routes on with those barbed wire routes at calais. and so then the criminal masterminds switched their their, their modus operandi. we've got your sound back now . talk about the back now. talk about the significance of the 100,000 figure being breached . figure being breached. >> yeah, it is significant. as i say, there is a national discussion anyway on this issue because it affects people not just in kent, but right across the country who see hotels in their communities that have been taken over by these people. and then when we reach a figure such

as 100,000, it's going to focus the minds. and remember, this is coming on a week that the government has set aside to show just how committed it is to the small boats crisis. it is their small boats crisis. it is their small boats crisis. it is their small boats week. this is the government showing how we are getting the bibby stockholm barge up and running, how we're doing deals with turkey to go after the people smugglers , how after the people smugglers, how we're cementing our relationship ukip with our colleagues over in france to stop the boats reaching the beaches, the ascension islands as well with mention of that which was then sort of cooled and there was a cooling off on the ascension island, even though it was clearly briefed out because it wasn't just one but two newspapers that had this story. so this is anyway, as i say, the government's week that they want to focus attention on what they say they're doing about the crisis. but the fact is , you crisis. but the fact is, you know, rishi sunak said he was going to stop the boats, the

boats have slowed down a little, but that's really nothing to do with rishi sunak, as far as i can tell . and speaking to the can tell. and speaking to the maritime experts who watch these channel crossings across the kent coast, all of the time and they see it's been done to weather conditions, we've had a atrocious weather, 100,000 is a shocking number. >> it's a staggering number and it will certainly focus minds , it will certainly focus minds, i'm sure, amongst the public. but does this put us in national emergency territory now, mark? well we've had points in the past where various politicians have said and even i think the last home secretary before suella braverman priti patel, her legal team, when they were talking about, you her legal team, when they were talking about , you know, her legal team, when they were talking about, you know, trying to get people into these air bases, declared it a national emergency, you know, in terms of needing to acquire these ministry of defence bases so that they could house migrants

there, rather, in these expensive hotels that are costing £6 million a day. >> but yes , it's worth recapping >> but yes, it's worth recapping on how this crisis began. it was , you're right, martin, in 2018, when we first really started to nofice when we first really started to notice that channel migrants were coming across in small boats, because previously they'd been described as clandestine hiding in the back of lorries and either coming on the ferries or lorries going through the channel tunnel or whatever route they would take. that is still going on, by the way, to the tune of about 9000 a year who are still pulled from the backs of lorries . so it's not a of lorries. so it's not a problem that the is entirely disappeared . but in 2018, 300, disappeared. but in 2018, 300, just under 300 people crossed the english channel. and then we noficed the english channel. and then we noticed the next year that figure was actually at about 1800. so it rose very significantly then. but then it

just started to take off. it really accelerated . and so we really accelerated. and so we got in 2020, see some 8000 people who crossed . in 2021, it people who crossed. in 2021, it was 28,000, 28,500, i think. and then of course, last year that absolutely record breaking figure of almost 46,000 who crossed. >> this is one of those things that people don't probably don't realise maybe is just how recent this phenomenon is. it really just did kick on from 2018 and the numbers have simply skyrocketed every year. >> yeah, what is shown is the kind of adaptive nature of the human traffickers when you close down one route, they simply go to another . but the down one route, they simply go to another. but the big down one route, they simply go to another . but the big question to another. but the big question is, once again today, ticker tape announcement about leaving the echr are these numbers are going to be a nightmare for the conservatives today, aren't they? because they can they can while rome burns all they like with with with with policy , with with with with with policy, with domestic , you know, changes to domestic, you know, changes to european court stuff . where do

european court stuff. where do we send them? rwanda ascension islands. the fact of the matter is these numbers signally fail. they show they failed to take back control of our borders. and that was pledge in 2016, a that was a pledge in 2016, a pledge in every election since 2010. and here we are again. this a massive headache for this is a massive headache for the conservatives there no the conservatives as there is no doubt that this 100,000 figure will derail the national conversation , given that the conversation, given that the government was hoping to have this week about just about everything they are trying to do to get on top of this problem, it will just focus people's minds on the fact that it is a very significant problem that is not really being addressed in any meaningful way. >> i mean, the government themselves admit there is no silver bullet to this. that's why it has to be a multifaceted approach that involves going after the people smugglers that involve us giving half £1 billion to france . that involves billion to france. that involves deaung billion to france. that involves dealing with them when they come across here, first in hotels, of course, but now is the imperative to move away from

hotels. it is, it seems , a never hotels. it is, it seems, a never ending crisis. and already this year we are now with arrivals this morning at 15,300 people who have crossed the channel. the only saving grace really for the government is the fact that, you know, the weather has been so bad that they're able to say, oh, we're about 10% down on what we were on this period last yean we were on this period last year, but that is to do with the weather. so leaving the echr , weather. so leaving the echr, which is what some conservative mps want to do, it's on the front page of the telegraph this morning. >> so leaving the echr in your view, would not be the silver bullet that some people hope it would be? >> well, i mean, leaving the echr like the issue of bases , echr like the issue of bases, hotels , deals with france, the hotels, deals with france, the are all really symptoms of an inability of the government to actually stop the boats in the first place. it's dealing with the issue stopping the boats at source sources . what you really

source sources. what you really have to do i mean they could stop the boats tomorrow if emmanuel macron decided us uk any boats that come across to uk waters. you can take them on board your border force vessels , take them right back to our french ports and will take them off your hands. that would stop the small boats crisis because then you would break the people smugglers business model if they knew that every boat that came to the uk was immediately just going to be turned back. those migrants taken back to france and it would do that. and it would potentially, of course cause a bit of an issue for emmanuel macron because then he's got all of these people that he's going to have to deal with. it becomes his problem. it's not in his interest, but it's already his problem because these poor community ltns in calais and in dunkirk and billowing that have been blighted by hundreds of thousands of people over recent

months and years who've come to the northwest corner of france to try to get across the channel. they're all camped out around these towns and cities. they're are blamed for a significant amount of anti—social behaviour and crime in these communities as well. so these areas would love to see a french policy that stops the boats coming and stops these people piling up along their coastlines. >> that's very true. we don't we don't often talk about it . don't often talk about it. what's happening in the north of france . and it is very much a france. and it is very much a blight on those communities. so moving on. thank you very much indeed. mark white, for your time, homeland security editor there, bringing us the breaking news. >> before we move on, mark, i love your optimism, but i think macron doing a deal with us is about likely as me winning about as likely as me winning the eurovision song contest. you ever sing ? i just ever heard me sing? i just don't think going happen . think it's going to happen. >> please don't mistake what i was at all. was saying for i'm not at all. there is no way earth that there is no way on earth that emmanuel macron is going to do this. i'm just saying, if he did , would just instantly

, that would just instantly break people's smugglers break the people's smugglers business . but yeah, business model. but yeah, there's way on he's there's no way on earth he's going it. come on, macron. going to do it. come on, macron. >> do it. dig deep. >> come on. do it. dig deep. anyway, thank you very much for your time. >> mark there. now the your time. >> meminister there. now the your time. >> meminister trfacing)w the your time. >> meminister trfacing callsa prime minister is facing calls to put membership of the european convention on human to put membership of the europeat convention on human to put membership of the europe at the vention on human to put membership of the europeat the hearth on human to put membership of the europeat the heart of)n human to put membership of the europe at the heart of hisiuman rights at the heart of his election campaign. yeah, up to a third the cabinet believe third of the cabinet believe continued membership continued echr membership prevents protecting prevents britain from protecting its against illegal its borders against illegal immigration deportation to immigration with deportation to rwanda hanging in the balance . rwanda hanging in the balance. now, one thing the critics will fall back on is that we can't leave the echr due to the belfast agreement. so who better to speak to then ? gb news to speak to then? gb news presenter baroness arlene foster. arlene is that right ? foster. arlene is that right? >> well, i think it's really important, emily, when you're looking at the belfast agreement, sometimes people think they know what's in the belfast agreement . but actually belfast agreement. but actually when you go to the text, it says something i'll something different. so i'll just out it says just read you out what it says in the belfast agreement about rights about the european rights and about the european convention on human rights. it says this was

says, and remember, this was 1998 and remember the human rights act, which brought the european court of human rights into domestic legislation in the uk as a whole, came about in 1998. so it says the british government will complete and cooperation into northern ireland law of the european convention on human rights with direct access to the courts and remedies for breach of the convention that has been completed, that has been something that has happened . but something that has happened. but i think what the bill of rights act, which you will remember and this is all very complicated, but you'll remember that the government tried to bring forward a bill of rights act last year is to deal with some of the excesses of the european court . that was dropped in june court. that was dropped in june of this year. and i think that bill of rights act would have been compatible with the belfast agreement and was compatible with our membership of the european convention as well. but what it tried to do, and i think this is really important, what it tried to do was to go back to

the text of the european convention and move away from the very wide jurisprudence, from the european court, which tried to widen the interpretation of the european convention. and i think that's where the difficulties have ansen where the difficulties have arisen with the european convention. it's not our membership per se that causes the problem, but it's actually how the european court actually interprets the convention action because arly in the kind of the inference piece is that peace in the island of ireland would simply break down almost overnight if we left the echr. >> that's something that tony blair, one of the architects the good friday agreement has repeated and it gets repeated a lot. but surely it's not beyond the wit of many intelligent people like yourself, ben habib and lots of others to simply draft something new, to supersede the echr and ensure that peace will continue. it's not quite the doomsday scenario. the remain establishment would like us to believe is it? >> well ,

like us to believe is it? >> well, martin, you put your finger on the issue here. every time there is an issue which the remain are leaked to point to around the belfast agreement, they use it very forcibly to say if this is changed, the peace will collapse in northern ireland and the heavens will fall, whereas in actual fact, if you look at the protocol, our favourite topic on gb news, it has actually amended the belfast agreement and the northern ireland act and that was confirmed by our own supreme court back just last year. so i think there is an issue around the interpretation of the european convention . do european convention. do i believe that the conservative party and the government are going to walk away completely from the european convention? martin and emily, no, i don't. but i do think there is a route through this in terms of how the convention is interpreted by the european court. and i was sorry to see the bill of rights act pulled by the government. it was yet another act that was put

down and then not proceeded with just like the northern ireland protocol act. and i think it's something that could have brought more clarity in relation to rights and would help with all of the issues that you and mark white just been mark white have just been discussing . discussing. >> arlene. it seems >> be right, arlene. it seems the government can't follow through these massive through with these massive projects that promise . just projects that they promise. just arlene. we're asking viewers at home whether they would vote conservative if the conservatives ran on an on an election campaign with ditching the echr at the heart of it. do you think that would be a vote winner ? winner? >> well, i think a lot of people don't actually know what you mean by that. emily in terms of it's a big slogan to get rid of our membership of the european convention, but i don't think we should throw the baby out with the bathwater. the convention actually is not the problem here. and that's the issue. the problem the in which the problem is the way in which the convention has been widely interpreted by the european

court . can i bring you back to court. can i bring you back to do you remember when there was the issue about prisoners voting and the european court voted ? and the european court voted? they said that prisoners should be allowed to vote in elections and had interpreted the convention in that way. that went on, i think, from 2005 to 2018, when the government said that they weren't going to give prisoners the vote in a blanket way, but they gave a very small number of those out in temporary licence. the vote . and that then licence. the vote. and that then was accepted by the court as complying with the convention. but there was a lot of pressure on the government to deal with thatissue on the government to deal with that issue at the time. and it goes to the heart of parliamentary sovereignty. who is control of the laws in the is in control of the laws in the united kingdom? is it a court in strasbourg or is it the people who are elected to make those laws in the united kingdom? and that goes back again, as we know, to the heart of the brexit debate. who makes the laws , who debate. who makes the laws, who interprets laws? and i think interprets the laws? and i think thatis

interprets the laws? and i think that is the key issue, and that's what the concern should really concentrating on. really be concentrating on. >> thank you forjoining us on >> thank you for joining us on britain's newsroom with your experts analysis. thank you. well well, a special £0.50 coin marking the coronation of king charles is going into circulation today. yeah. gb news broadcast . cameron walker joins broadcast. cameron walker joins us. and i believe , cameron, us. and i believe, cameron, you've your mitts of you've got your mitts on some of the of the mint . the first of the mint. >> oh, well, thank you. >> oh, well, thank you. >> so 5 million of these 50 coins? yeah, i am indeed going into circulation campaign save our cash don't kill cash. there you go. yeah. 5 million of these ones going into circulation. it features uncrowned king charles facing the other way to queen elizabeth. the second on the other side on the tail side is westmin abbey with king charles the third's official cypher for commemorating the king's coronation. now, these, i think, are going to be quite collectable. the reason being 27 billion coins are currently in circulation with the late queen's effigy on whereas only 5

million of these coins are currently going into circulation as of today. if you want to pick up yours, you can get them in bank branches and uk post offices. there another £0.50 offices. there was another £0.50 coin featuring king charles which went into circulation in december . which went into circulation in december. but this is just another example, isn't it? of the smooth transition we have of the smooth transition we have of the new monarch . the new monarch. >> i'm not sure if you can make that out, but they are very nice, very shiny and new looking i >> -- >> they certainly are. >> they certainly are. >> and charles's nose protruding and not crowned, unlike queen elizabeth's . elizabeth's. >> yeah. so there was a crowned king charles commemorative coin that went on on offer for the coronation but it's for collectors only. it costs £11 actually, to buy a £0.50 coin with king charles wearing a crown. you can get that on the royal mint website. but so far, people in 89 countries, as have have bought the commemorative coronation coin. but as for this one that i've got in my hands and we've got in our hands all of you guys at home can get your

hands on this coin. as of today, just in your everyday change from a post office or bank. so do send us in. do send us in pictures or indeed, if you have managed to get your hands on them, we'd love to see them. so them, we'd love to see them. so the big question is. >> cameron okay, million. >> cameron okay, 5 million. there's the grand there's not many in the grand scheme things. what could scheme of things. what could these down line? if these be worth down the line? if you a few of these today you trouser a few of these today and away safely and and put them away safely and keep them nice and shiny? >> well, indeed. what could they be i mean, it could. be worth? well i mean, it could. i there's probably no i mean, there's probably no limit, we've seen many limit, is there? we've seen many coins you know, through the coins of, you know, through the ages right into from ages dating back right into from alfred were the alfred the great. they were the first featuring the first coins featuring the british so before british monarch. so before william 1066. british monarch. so before will they 1066. british monarch. so before will they could 1066. british monarch. so before will they could go 1066. british monarch. so before will they could go potentially». and they could go potentially for thousands. i'm not a coin expert , i couldn't exactly. expert, so i couldn't exactly. i i can't tell you exactly. but i think we'll have to wait a number of decades to see the full value of these £0.50 coins. so perhaps get your hands on them. >> now, i wonder if any of our viewers and listeners are coin collectors. >> well, so i've got my mate, sean, the barber might be watching now. sean the barber don't kill cash he takes a lot

of cash at his business and he's got an app on his mobile and you can take a picture of any coin that you get and it gives you the value. and 50 p's are especially collectable, particularly like during particularly things like during commonwealth world cups commonwealth games or world cups because have small of because they have small runs of things judo or the things like the judo or the fencing. the beatrix potter coins . they were worth a lot of coins. they were worth a lot of money they in money because they go out in small runs. i think these small runs. so i think these ones could be little ones could be a nice little investment. stick few of these investment. stick a few of these and money don't and your kids money box. don't get up with the regular ones. >> yeah, we keep these. >> yeah, we keep these. >> cameron i'm sure you can. the royal mint is calling it finding a of history in their for a piece of history in their for change the people. so change the british people. so yes, million. so your yes, it's 5 million. so get your hands now, i suppose. hands on them now, i suppose. >> fantastic . >> fantastic. >> fantastic. >> yeah, think they're great. >> yeah, i think they're great. i they. think they've i think they. i think they've been very shame about inflation because can't get with because you can't get much with a anymore. i think a £0.50 coin anymore. i think they're it's very they're very it's a very flattering they flattering portrait. they made his quite small. his ears quite small. >> yeah it is. so the effigy of king charles was designed by british sculptor martin jennings that was designed that was

unveiled in september 2022 following the queen's death. but of course, as we know, the number of people using coins or cash , physical cash has gone cash, physical cash has gone down quite substantially. by 2031, only 6% the british 2031, only 6% of the british population are expected to use physical cash as their main means of income. but more than a million people in the uk right now still use cash as their main means of having a transaction rather than contactless or indeed a card. >> and don't forget, over a quarter of a million people now have signed gb news as don't kill cash campaign on don't kill the king's cash . so this should the king's cash. so this should be a further incentive to sign that petition because i just think coins are a wonderful part of our heritage. they're tangible, they're physical, and we should cherish cash and this should hammer that message home. >> we've really tapped into a big concern . big concern. >> 250,000 people said, yeah, yeah , pretty good. yeah, pretty good. >> thank you, karen. that was excellent. cheers. okay. still to more calls when to come, more on the calls when the party to ditch the echr the tory party to ditch the echr as we reach record numbers. this is brilliant. on gb

this problem and that's why we've said that we would go after the people smugglers , the after the people smugglers, the criminal gangs who are bringing people over in the first place to make sure that we cut that off at source. >> what we really need is that kind of solution alongside tackling backlog the tackling the backlog in the asylum immigration system, asylum and immigration system, which of control, which we know is out of control, which we know is out of control, which is causing the which we know is causing the government use expensive government to use expensive hotels and barges and other forms accommodation . we need forms of accommodation. we need that plan to get on top of the situation because frankly, the conservatives presided over conservatives have presided over 13 failure this and 13 years of failure on this and they've created this chaos which now to be fixed. now needs to be fixed. >> pressure is mounting on the police service of northern ireland as a second data breach is now being investigated, stated mistakes , shared stated the psni mistakes, shared details about thousands of officers and staff on tuesday. hundreds have now raised safety concerns . details of a second concerns. details of a second data breach emerged less than 24 hours later. the psni chief constable simon byrne is today facing questions from the body overseeing policing in northern

ireland. more powers are needed to weed out rogue police officers, as according to the commissioner of the met. writing in the times, sir mark rowley says he's leading the strongest crackdown on standards in 50 years. but he says he needs others to do more . he's calling others to do more. he's calling on the government to reform misconduct processes to make it easier for police chiefs to sack people. he says the current system is too slow. with more than 200 officers currently suspend on full pay, a review in march recommended a major overhaul to the met police elsewhere while fires in hawaii have killed at least 36 people and forced thousands more to evacuate, the blazes have devastated much of the resort city of lahaina on the island of maui, forcing people to jump into the ocean to escape the smoke and flames. entire neighbourhoods have been burnt to the ground as winds from a faraway hurricane fanned the fires . russia says its shot down

fires. russia says its shot down two ukrainian drones heading towards moscow in occupied crimea. 11 have been intercepted near the city of sevastopol. an important navy base for russia's black sea operations as ukrainian attacks on russian soil and in kremlin controlled areas have increased since . may areas have increased since. may back here, the government claims it isn't opposed to encrypted messaging services to technology. secretary michelle donelan is defending the online safety bill, which would give the media regulator ofcom, greater powers to monitor private messages . meta, which private messages. meta, which owns the encrypted messaging app whatsapp, says it might cease operations in the uk if the new law forces them to weaken security . the british red cross security. the british red cross says the uk needs to change the way it thinks about heatwaves . a way it thinks about heatwaves. a new poll reveals more than a third of people see hot weather as a problem to be faced in the future. the office for national statistics recorded more than 3000 deaths as a result of heat

in the uk last summer. those working outside or living in top floor flats are particularly vulnerable . scientists say vulnerable. scientists say british homes are unprepared for more frequent hot weather . rents more frequent hot weather. rents will continue to rise as more people enter the market with fewer properties to choose from. the royal institute of chartered surveyors found demand for rental properties rose firmly over the three months to july . over the three months to july. it marks the strongest pick up in demand since the start of last year. most of those taking part in the survey say they expect rents to go up again in the coming three months and students need to be quick off the mark. on a—level results day if they wish to study at a top university. that's according to the head of the higher education admissions service, chief executive of ucas, claire marchant, says competition 4 degrees places will be tougher this summer. she warns that school leavers will need to

prepare a plan b ahead of their results. with a higher population of 18 year olds and a rise in international students , rise in international students, this is gb news across the uk on tv, in your car, on digital radio and on your smart speaker by saying play gb news now it's back over to martin and . emily back over to martin and. emily >> thanks for that update. ryan okay, let's get stuck in today's menu because a major milestone has been reached in the small boats crisis this morning. yes >> yes. 100,000 people have now crossed the channel in a dinghy since 2018. this comes as the prime minister is facing calls to put membership of the european convention on human rights at the heart of his election campaign . election campaign. >> oh, yeah, and this comes as the tories deputy chairman, lee anderson, said his policy had failed on immigration . an i'm failed on immigration. an i'm not going to sit here and make

excuses to anyone this is out of control. >> we're you know, we're in power at the moment. i'm as you say, the deputy chair of the conservative party. we're in government and we have failed on this. there's no doubt about it. you we said we're going to you know, we said we're going to fix it. it is a failure. >> of course, that was lee anderson on the nigel farage show. find out more now show. let's find out more now from conservative mp and gb news presenter esther mcvey . good presenter esther mcvey. good morning esther. thank morning to you, esther. thank you joining us on the show. you for joining us on the show. let's that clip of let's start with that clip of lee do you agree lee anderson. do you agree with him? the failed on immigration? >> well, we have as yet failed to solve the problem. well, that's self—evident , but i don't that's self—evident, but i don't think it's through lack of trying by the government . trying by the government. everybody can see the problem . everybody can see the problem. not everybody's got a solution, at least one that the court will accept. and i think the government is on the right line. if you come here illegally, you'll be sent back home if that's possible. and if not, you'll go to a third party, third country. and now we've

just got to wait for the supreme court's judgement on that . court's judgement on that. >> how would leaving the echr help us stop the boats ? help us stop the boats? >> sorry , can you say that >> sorry, can you say that again? i'm leaving. >> how would leaving the european convention of human rights help us stop the boats . rights help us stop the boats. >> well, i have every sympathy for looking to leave that convention. but i don't actually think it's feasible. i don't think it's feasible. i don't think you'll get that vote through in the house of commons. all the opposition will vote against it. you only need about 25 or 30 tories to vote against it. we've only got now a majority of 50. so i don't think that will happen. i also think it's a red herring. i don't think we have to leave the european convention of human rights. we saw what tony blair did. if he saw there was a perverse ruling like there was for votes to go to prisoners and he ignored it. i think that would be our first step. things

that really frustrates people and i'm sure it frustrate you as well, is when the echr is used to protect and stop the deportation of foreign criminals. >> we've seen it time and time again. we've seen several year long decade, year long battles, legal challenges to keep people who have committed heinous crimes in this country, in this country . do we need to leave the country. do we need to leave the echr in order to stop that ? echr in order to stop that? >> well, i've just answered . i >> well, i've just answered. i don't think it will be possible to do it. i think those rulings , as we've seen before , we can , as we've seen before, we can ignore. i mean, there are other ways you could look to renegotiate with the uk for you could look at ways of just disentangling from certain judgements. but like i said, you won't have the votes to get that through the house. even though i have every sympathy with that point of view because we can't have perverse rulings coming from the european court on human rights affecting what goes on in

this country that has gone through the proper democratic legislative process . legislative process. >> yeah, i agree with you on the echr being a red herring. for example . well, george maloney, example. well, george maloney, the prime minister of italy, declared a state of emergency in april this year, effectively stop seeing boats arriving across the med into italy in november 2022. polling and put barbed wire along their border with belarus to stem the tide of illegals entering their country so we can take action outside while being members of the echr. but the uk just isn't doing that . isn't but the uk just isn't doing that mema but the uk just isn't doing that . isn't that the point? we want actual firm action to stop the boats arriving or to turn them around in the first place ? around in the first place? >> and martin, i agree with you on that. i think what the government will look to do is go through the judicial process here, look to see what the ruling is of the supreme court, and then maybe take separate

actions after that. i think it's just taking the process one step at a time because we in this country do follow that due process, after which i think it will then look to either renegotiate, come to a different agreement or, as you've said , agreement or, as you've said, look at a way around it by ignonng look at a way around it by ignoring those rulings . ignoring those rulings. >> suella braverman well, she causes a stir quite a lot of the time, but she caused a stir last weekend when she said that keir starmer and his web of cronies in her words, were sabotaging the stop the boats policy . she the stop the boats policy. she was referring, i believe, to people within the legal profession who are on the side of the labour party, who don't wish to tackle the boats in the same way the government does. do you share that view ? you share that view? >> we've seen some actions that bnng >> we've seen some actions that bring the legal profession into disrepute. we've seen and i'll call them rogue lawyers who've helped immigrants fill in their immigration forms incorrectly to

get into the country, filling in those forms falsely that is not acceptable at the moment. those lawyers can only be struck off. really. they need a criminal sentence for that. you need to review all of their past work that they've done and i'd also seize their assets because by the looks of things, they're taking a lot of money to fill in those forms falsely. so if those are the rogue lawyers she's talking about. absolutely. and then we've also seen a judicial some of those lawyers take back judicial review as they have with care for calais . again, with care for calais. again, stopping and hindering what the vast majority of the public want to see. and that is stopping illegal legal migration into this country. we have we've been hampered at every angle by those lefty lawyers who are determined to stop rules that will, as i said, stop this illegal migration into our country.

>> as the. what would you say to the critics who would listen to that and say it's okay to blame the echr it's okay to blame lefty lawyers. it's okay to blame starmer and his blame keir starmer and his cronies. at the of the cronies. but at the end of the day, the tories have been in power for 13 years and figures came today. 100,000 have came out today. 100,000 now have arrived via small surely arrived via small boats. surely the buck stops with the government in power. >> well, that's why they're trying to do as much as they can. they brought through the illegal migration bill something that labour voted against 70 times. so determined are they to have open borders and allow people into this country so the government are trying as hard as they can. i think everybody is seeing how the legal profession has been trying to hamper them at every turn. and i don't believe you can say this has been for 30 years. if you look who's coming in at boats now, great increased over the last couple of years. you've seen these criminal gangs. you've

seen that growing as an industry, which we've got to stop straight away. and if you look where the people are coming from, they're coming from afghanistan , they're from afghanistan, they're coming from iraq, coming from iran. iraq, they're coming from iran. some of this i think labour needs to look into what it's done over the years to have such a great movement of people from right across the world. thank you very much for your time, esther. >> esther mcvey, the conservative mp, and gb news presenter. thank you very much . presenter. thank you very much. so let's move on. >> they've got a massive headache over this. they've got a huge, huge headache. they can they can with policy all they like. can talk. but the like. they can talk. but the figures are the figures. emily we've seen them rock up today. 100,000. major, 100,000. they've got a major, major this is going to major problem. this is going to be a massive issue the next be a massive issue in the next general election. >> all comes down who >> it all comes down to who people you blame people blame. do you blame government you government and trust? do you blame for this? blame the government for this? do you the legal do you blame the legal profession? you blame foreign profession? do you blame foreign courts? you blame? that's courts? who do you blame? that's the issue, isn't it? many people will be looking and thinking, yes, 13 years in government. why

haven't you managed to solve this issue ? this issue? >> the fact of the matter >> and is the fact of the matter is all as bad as is they're just all as bad as each other. can anybody stop this or we now going to have this or are we now going to have to get to the fact that we to get used to the fact that we are open borders are effectively an open borders nafion? are effectively an open borders nation? know you nation? let us know what you think. give at gbnews.com think. give views at gbnews.com >> please do get in >> yes, please. please do get in touch getting in touch touch. you are getting in touch on this , particularly on that on this, particularly on that 100,000 number. it is quite staggering. >> it is. okay. moving on to our next story now, more powers are needed weed out rogue police needed to weed out rogue police officers . well, that's according officers. well, that's according to of the to the commissioner of the metropolitan police force. >> writing the times, >> yes. writing in the times, sir rowley says he's sir mark rowley says he's calling on the government to reform misconduct processes. that's easier that's to make it easier for police people . police chiefs to sack people. >> this morning, we're joined by former detective superintendent at the met, shabnam chaudhry, with her thoughts. thank you for joining us today. now to most people, it would just seem absolutely staggering that police chiefs don't have the power already to remove people who are rogue from the force and those with criminal records . how those with criminal records. how do we even get into this

position in the first place? >> you know, it's a really, really difficult process to sack individuals from police, and particularly even those that have criminal convictions or have criminal convictions or have been convicted of criminal behaviours and so on. if you look at people like wayne, cousins, david carrick , both cousins, david carrick, both convicted of really , really convicted of really, really serious crimes. and yet while whilst they were being investigated at the point of when they even pleaded guilty, they remained police officers suspended on full pay , they suspended on full pay, they should have been sacked at the very earliest opportunity. so as soon as as soon as they're convicted because everybody's entitled to a fair trial and a fair hearing, entitled to a fair trial and a fair hearing , they should have fair hearing, they should have been sacked on the spot . so you been sacked on the spot. so you have officers who lie on their vetting forms, you have officers who come into policing and don't update their vetting and update their vetting status and they then have to go through a misconduct process , which misconduct process, which sometimes take a year to 18 sometimes can take a year to 18 months. they get suspended. you've got something like 200 police officers within the metropolitan police who are

suspended on full pay, who are sitting there earning a lot of money, who should have been sacked a long time ago. so i actually fully support what the commissioner actually wants to achieve here, so long as it's done with some independent oversight . so there is scrutiny oversight. so there is scrutiny to show that there's been a transparency in the process from start to finish. >> yes, i think a lot of people will be quite shocked that this is how it works and that police officers cannot be sacked as easily as they might hope with bad conduct . do you think this bad conduct. do you think this is essential in terms of trust? we know that the police are well experiencing a lack of trust when it comes to how the public view them and how they tackle crime and how they resolve problems within the police force i >> -- >> 100% members of the public don't generally know when somebody has a criminal conviction , but you have to then conviction, but you have to then consider those officers who have got criminal convictions and the type of convictions that they've

got , whether they can actually got, whether they can actually be in the investigative process. so can they actually arrest somebody? can they go out and actually deal with individuals? can they deal victims of can they deal with victims of crime? you've got somebody crime? if you've got somebody that's convicted domestic that's convicted of domestic abuse , they then have to declare abuse, they then have to declare that on a form in what's called an axb when going to court. an mg6 axb when going to court. how does that impact on the actual trial and the investigation itself? this process of sacking officers is immediately will have a huge impact on trust and confidence . impact on trust and confidence. if somebody has lied on their vetting status or they've not updated their vetting status, sack them straight away because actually there's a huge integrity issue when the public start to see that police officers are rogue cops, dirty cops are being sacked out of the organisation , then they'll feel organisation, then they'll feel more trusting of going to the police so that they can report the actual crimes that they're actually victims of . actually victims of. >> so thank you very much indeed for your time. shabnam chowdhury there . sue, former detective there. sue, former detective

superintendent at the met police this is a problem within the pubuc this is a problem within the public sector as a whole, isn't it? it's quite difficult to sack people. >> it's just astonishing . i >> it'sjust astonishing. i mean, when i applied to be a member of my child's pta , i had member of my child's pta, i had to go a full criminal background check to be able to work with children. how can coppers, you know, get through a vetting process with criminal records for sexual misconduct, drink driving , violence? it just driving, violence? it just beggars belief to me . beggars belief to me. >> really does. but perhaps >> it really does. but perhaps this is a step in the right direction. maybe something will be done. >> anyway, still to come, >> okay. anyway, still to come, what's the government doing about boat about tackling the small boat crisis? joined by the crisis? we'll be joined by the man of the moment, lee anderson. yes you're with gb news. >> tuned. >> stay tuned. >> stay tuned. >> warm feeling inside from >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers, proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. weather on. gb news. >> hello there. i'm greg dewhurst and welcome to your latest gb news weather forecast for the day ahead. it's looking fine and dry for many, plenty of sunny spells feeling much warmer than it has done for many weeks

reality from the guppies? >> well, it is in a sense. i mean, only about 20% of under 40s now say they definitely want to buy a home. i think we have to buy a home. i think we have to put this in the context, of course, as you've just said, that interest rates are pretty high. the average two year fix at the moment is 6.83, and it's quite likely that people are going be waiting, you quite likely that people are going be waiting , you know, going to be waiting, you know, for a year or two to see what happens to the market. some of the under 40s are being quite canny. they're wanting to build their own home or buy a renovation. 20% say that they'd like to do that and 17% are saying that they are looking at a cheaper area or are prepared to work from home. and of course, you know, it. there's an assumption sometimes that it was really easy for the older generation, but of course they suffered. you know, over a number of years trying to save up and often they had to live in areas they didn't areas where they didn't particularly to live. so particularly want to live. so this a particularly this isn't a particularly new phenomenon but you're in phenomenon, but if you're in london in the south—east, there's doubt that it's very there's no doubt that it's very difficult in terms of

affordability. but of course not so difficult if you're in places like the midlands and the north. i looking earlier and i was looking earlier today and in newark , which is the town in newark, which is the town where i up, you can buy where i grew up, you can buy a two bed terraced house for 130,000. there are still some 130,000. so there are still some very affordable parts of the country. >> she really depends on where you live. but of course, many young people, move to the young people, they move to the big in order to work and big cities in order to work and they to be there. it's they have to be there. so it's very difficult to be priced out of you to live and of where you have to live and where to work. and that where you have to work. and that is the difficulty. i mean, i'm just looking average house price in london, £724,509. absolutely extraordinary there. rest of the country, 286,000. still very expensive for those on an average salary . average salary. >> it's true. and a lot of people under 40 are deciding to just live instead of saving . just live instead of saving. there is this whole issue of place over space. you know, someone wants to live in a trendy area, then they're probably better off renting. and although people do complain about rent levels, you know, you

can rent £1 million house for 250,000 a month. and actually that in a sense is quite good value. what we need to make sure we do is build more houses. we're only going to build about 160,000 this year when we really should be building 300,000. and we're seeing a huge problem with the supply of rental properties as a lot of people under 40 want to rent. and what the government need to do is look at tax reform for landlords so that they don't sell at the moment sell up because at the moment 33% of landlords are talking about selling up within the next 12 months. >> that's very true. >> yes, that's very true. there's many issues in there's so many issues in the housing market the rental housing market and the rental market. you very much market. thank you very much indeed richard indeed forjoining us. richard blanco landlord blanco there, landlord and property with a quite property expert with a quite depressing news that a lot of young people don't think they will ever own a home. but yeah, we have breaking news we have some more breaking news now total channel migrant now as total channel migrant numbers reach 100,000. >> it's 2018. gb news can also reveal a further 400 people have crossed in eight small boats today alone. authorities are

currently responding to other potential small boat sightings in the channel . and okay, so in the channel. and okay, so let's have some immediate reaction now to our newspaper panel , joined by mike parry and panel, joined by mike parry and emma woolf. mike, 100,000 already and a further 400 today by small boats in eight boats today. >> how does that make you feel, mate? >> yeah, it doesn't make me feel good at all. the thing that is becoming more and more apparent because, you know, we debate this sort of issue all the time and people say to me, but these people they're people are in need. they're fleeing persecution. latest fleeing persecution. the latest pictures i've seen of these boats over are a they're boats coming over are a they're getting bigger, we've getting bigger, right? we've seen the are seen them. the dinghies are getting b, they are getting bigger, but, b, they are almost entirely full of young men who look between the age of about 20 and 30. i mean, there was a picture that day of a boat with 70 people in it. they were all young men. >> it's quite interesting because you hear from people and they say, oh, well, it's going to young men because you

to be young men because you couldn't wife couldn't bring your your wife and kids along on this journey. why would you leave them behind? there well, if this is the question, if your family is being persecuted, you get your family out first, even before you yourself out, don't you? you get yourself out, don't you? >> suddenly flee and >> you don't suddenly flee and say, you lot can stay say, right, you lot can stay here with persecution. an here with the persecution. an i'm to the land of i'm going off to the land of milk honey. call for milk and honey. i'll call for you because that will milk and honey. i'll call for you happen.use that will milk and honey. i'll call for you happen. he that will milk and honey. i'll call for you happen. i mean, will milk and honey. i'll call for you happen. i mean, it's never happen. i mean, it's a huge racket. and if they don't understand that, it's now the probably biggest industry in understand that, it's now the pronorld, biggest industry in understand that, it's now the pronorld, people est industry in understand that, it's now the pronorld, people trafficking! in the world, people trafficking not just across the english channel not just across the english channel, but across the mediterranean, in other parts of the world, like america and south america. it's a massive industry . and i think the industry. and i think the world's got get together. the world's got to get together. the united nations need to start some otherwise the some initiative. otherwise the whole balance of the world is to going completely collapse under the pressure of people wanting to come into richer countries. >> and everybody is playing the blame game today. >> and everybody is playing the blame game today . we've had the blame game today. we've had the tories blaming keir starmer lefty lawyers , activists, ngos, lefty lawyers, activists, ngos, the european convention on human rights. the fact of the matter

is, is the buck stops with the government and power, doesn't it? >> the buck does stop. and this highlights, you know, fine weather. eight more boats today, 400 people. this 400 more people. and this highlights and highlights just how bankrupt and bereft you know, bereft and utterly, you know, inadequate the government response been, but response has been, but also successive governments. have successive governments. we have not this problem. not dealt with this problem. things bibby stockholm things like the bibby stockholm that house people. that can house 500 people. that's not even touching the surface. no, but it shows an initiative. everybody that's possibly today, it possibly arrived today, it doesn't show initiative. it needs far , far. it needs needs to go far, far. it needs to go much back than to go much further back than that of dealing with that in terms of dealing with immigration into the country and with people smuggling, which is, immigration into the country and wityoueople smuggling, which is, immigration into the country and wityou saya smuggling, which is, immigration into the country and wityou say , smuggling, which is, immigration into the country and wityou say , the|ggling, which is, immigration into the country and wityou say , the|ggling, the ch is, as you say, the root of the problem. but on this. >> mike yeah, a lot of people have been writing in well, a few people have been writing in to say, you know, this isn't the government s fault. yes, they're being tripped many being tripped up by so many obstacles that been put in obstacles that have been put in their the government runs their way. the government runs their way. the government runs the challenges they can't get. the off the ground the rwanda scheme off the ground because challenge because legal challenge after legal legal legal challenge after legal challenge . challenge. >> mean, the latest >> well, i mean, the latest announcement the threat announcement is now the threat to the european court of

to leave the european court of human rights altogether because it yes, i know it ties our hands. yes, i know it's all reactive, but at least there's something happening. you know, years we ignored it know, for years we ignored it because these people were getting into the back of lorries and onto trains and that sort of thing. only now become so thing. it's only now become so pubuc thing. it's only now become so public routes were public because those routes were closed down. now got to closed down. now we've got to closed down. now we've got to close route down. close this route down. >> do you think there is >> emma, do you think there is a solution to this problem or do you think that migration is a fact a globalised world and fact of a globalised world and people move and people will try and move and we'll never be able to solve this problem? >> well, people trafficking is definitely got worse in recent years. we're seeing and years. i think we're seeing and heanng years. i think we're seeing and hearing lot more it as hearing a lot more about it as we and hear many, many more we see and hear many, many more images and footage images and videos and footage and coverage people, and coverage of people, you know, the internet age. but know, in the internet age. but i think that it goes it needs to go further back than that. it needs be a more fundamental needs to be a more fundamental response talk to other response where you talk to other countries with it. >> we do do that. >> we do do that. >> we've got to deal with albania. we're trying to those negotiate with turkey and negotiate a deal with turkey and failed failed. failed and failed. >> i'll put it to you. >> mike, i'll put it to you. >> mike, i'll put it to you. >> a sensitive issue and >> it's a sensitive issue and people react. >> put it to

>> i'll put it to you. i appreciate your your glass half full of at least the full attitude of at least the government is trying to do something with stockholm. something with bibby stockholm. however, to you as however, i'll put it to you as a pull factor. it looks quite cosy on get three square on there. you get three square meals yeah there's a gym. meals a day. yeah there's a gym. so saying to you is so what i'm saying to you is that stop root cause that won't stop the root cause which is stopping the boats have we lost the political will to tackle for example, tackle this? for example, giorgia meloni italy declared giorgia meloni in italy declared a of emergency and turned a state of emergency and turned boats away, made them dock in france. put wire france. poland put barbed wire up border with belarus. up on the border with belarus. we can do this while being a member of the echr. is it something else? is a lack of guts? >> i would employ tony abbott, the former prime minister of australia, here as australia, to come here as a special to the british special adviser to the british government turned the government because he turned the boats back. they were getting all sorts of immigrant problems from south east asia. they literally pushed them back. now how do that in the how do you do that in the engush how do you do that in the english channel? i don't know, but we do know we have the right to do it because they're in our waters. have boats overturned. >> you have boats overturned. what happens they don't go? what happens when they don't go? >> people this is

possible through our administrators. so as you said, that was 12,000 jobs at risk, 400 stores. and this is a 93 year old family run business that's been facing pressures through the inflation rises that we've seen, as well as supply chain issues. so despite a lot of fighting to try and keep the store going, it seems that now the as we've heard, the administrators have been appointed . and we'll see what appointed. and we'll see what happens next. >> thank you very much indeed, lisa hartle there, our reporter down by a wilko. when was the last time you went to wilko, though? martin quite problem it sells things that amazon sell for cheaper quite recently i was up in north shropshire in nottingham where i'm from. >> we have them. it's just another major brand biting the dust. mike is this just the way we're going? the death of the high street is just now part of the fabric of the nation. >> it's absolutely heartbreaking. do you remember when woolworths was around, everybody woolworths when woolworths was around, ever closed woolworths when woolworths was around, everclosed down? woolworths when woolworths was around, everclosed down? woolworth you that closed down? i thought, you know, that's heartbreaking. >> weekend at >> will weekend job at woolworths throughout teenage

arriving by this route. >> acas and gb news can also reveal 400 migrants have arrived across the channel today alone in eight small boats. this comes amid reports members of the cabinet want a pledge to leave the european convention of human rights at the heart of their manifesto. >> yes , gb news investigates. >> yes, gb news investigates. reporter charlie peters has acquired footage of an nhs chaplain directly making pro—taliban comments. we'll have more at 1120 . more at 1120. >> yeah, we'd to love know what you think about all of our stories today. of course. email us gb views at gb news.com. the big story, of course, being 100,000 over since 2018, illegally via small things. that is a huge moment. >> and eight votes just out today 400 and that would almost fill the bibby stockholm in one day alone. yes, that's true . but

day alone. yes, that's true. but first, let's get your morning . news >> good morning. it's 11:01. news >> good morning. it's11:01. i'm rhiannon jones in the newsroom . rhiannon jones in the newsroom. high street chain wilko has collapsed. the company's appointed administer laters after failing to secure a rescue deal putting around 12,000 jobs at risk . well, our reporter, at risk. well, our reporter, lisa sam at a wilko store in west for london us. lisa, tell us more . us more. >> us more. >> well, as you said, 12,000 jobs are now at risk across the 400 stores of the family owned chain of wilkinsons. 400 stores of the family owned chain of wilkinsons . the ceo, chain of wilkinsons. the ceo, mark jackson , came out a short mark jackson, came out a short while ago and said in a statement, we fought hard to keep this incredible business intact , but must concede that intact, but must concede that time has run out and now we must do what's best to preserve as many jobs as possible through our administrators and, of course, their 93 year old store has been under pressure with

inflation and supply chain issues for some time. over the last week, they spoke with investors hoping that the store could the chain could be saved. but it seems that now time has run out . thank you. run out. thank you. >> our london reporter at a west london wilko store for gb news can reveal a 100,000 migrants have now crossed the channel since records began in 2018. the landmark figure was reached as another 400 people crossed in eight small boats. today the arrivals are the first since saturday as bad weather made conditions in the channel largely impassable. the figures add yet more pressure on the prime minister , rishi sunak, prime minister, rishi sunak, stopping the small boats is one of his government's key priorities. shadow financial secretary to the treasury james murray told us the government must take action on what people want to see, though, is real solutions to tackling this problem. >> and that's why we've said that we would go after the people smugglers, the criminal gangs who are bringing people

overin gangs who are bringing people over in the first place to make sure that we cut that at sure that we cut that off at source. what really need is source. what we really need is that kind of solution alongside tackling the backlog the tackling the backlog in the asylum immigration system, asylum and immigration system, which is out control, which we know is out of control, which we know is out of control, which causing the which we know is causing the government to use expensive hotels and barges and other forms of accommodation when we need that plan to on top of need that plan to get on top of the situation. because frankly, the situation. because frankly, the conservatives have presided over failure this over 13 years of failure on this and they've created this chaos which be fixed. which now needs to be fixed. >> the number of people waiting to start routine hospital treatment in england has reached a new record high. nhs england found 7.6 million people were waiting to start treatment at the end of june, the highest number since records began in two thousand and seven and up from 7.5 million in may. cutting, waiting lists is another of rishi sunaks key priorities for 2023 . pressure is priorities for 2023. pressure is mounting on the police service of northern ireland as a second data breach is now being investigated and the psni

mistakenly shared details of thousands of officers and staff on tuesday, hundreds of whom have now raised safety concerns . details of a second data breach emerged less than 24 hours later. the psni chief constable simon byrne is today facing questions from the body overseeing policing in northern ireland and more powers are needed to weed out rogue police officers. that's according to the commissioner of the met, writing in the times. sir mark rowley says he's leading the strongest crackdown on standards in 50 years. but he says he needs others to do more. he's calling on the government to reform misconduct processes to make it easier for police chiefs to sack people. he says the current system is too slow with more than 200 officers currently suspended on full pay. a review in march recommended a major overhaul to the met police elsewhere, wildfires in hawaii have killed at least 36 people, forcing thousands more to

evacuate . the blazes have evacuate. the blazes have devastated much of the resort city of lahaina on the island of maui, forcing people to jump into the ocean to escape the smoke and flames. into the ocean to escape the smoke and flames . entire smoke and flames. entire neighbourhoods have been burned to the ground as winds from a faraway hurricane fan. the flames and students need to be quick off the mark on a—level results day. if they wish to study at a top university . study at a top university. that's according to the head of the higher education admissions service, chief executive of ucas, claire marchant, says for competition degree places will be tougher. this summer. she warns that school leavers will need to prepare a plan b ahead of their results with a higher population of 18 year olds and a rise in international students . rise in international students. and a special £0.50 coin marking the coronation of king charles goes into circulation today, the royal mint says it gives people the opportunity to find a piece of history in their change. it's

issuing 5 million coins with a design based on westminster abbey where the coronation was held in may. they'll be received by the post office and uk bank branches . this by the post office and uk bank branches. this is gb news by the post office and uk bank branches . this is gb news across branches. this is gb news across the uk on tv in your car, on digital radio and on your smart speaker by simply saying play gb news. now though , it's back over news. now though, it's back over to martin and . emily and thanks to martin and. emily and thanks for that. >> rhiannon well, we can reveal the number of people who have crossed the channel in small boats has reached a major milestone today. yes, 100,000 people have now arrived in this country by the route. >> that's despite repeated government pledges to bring the crossings halt. and we also crossings to a halt. and we also know that 400 have crossed just today, haven't they, mark? >> yeah, and eight small boats and our kent producer who's down there in dover at the moment is saying that he thinks there's been some other sightings out in

the channel that the authorities are responding to. and the reason is , of course, it's a bit reason is, of course, it's a bit calmer in the channel today. reason is, of course, it's a bit calmer in the channel today . so calmer in the channel today. so every time there's a lull in the weather conditions, you get these small boats coming across. in fact, our kent producer who regularly goes across to france just to assess the situation over there, says that thousands of people are on calais and dunkirk and boulogne are all still there waiting for the weather to improve, to try to get across on small boats . yes. get across on small boats. yes. and that figure was reached this morning when we got the first of those small boats coming across that £100,000 figure, which is a very sobering moment because we talk about eight small boats today and 400 crossing another day, it might be 500 or 100, but actually when you then realise that since this became an issue and that was only five short years ago in 2018, we now have

100,000 people who have crossed in small boats . it is a in small boats. it is a startling figure and i think people will sit up and take notice. >> now, mark, politically , the >> now, mark, politically, the timing is disastrous for the conservatives. they're setting out . they're still very much at out. they're still very much at the moment to make immigration a key pledge building towards the next general election. they've laid turkey deal, £3 laid out their turkey deal, £3 million extra pledged. they've attacked starmer and his cronies for trying to stop deportations. today it's leaving the echr ascension islands. endless gimmickry . but this today's gimmickry. but this today's figures will drive a coach and horses through their aspirations of taking back control of our coasts, won't it? >> i think there's no doubt this week was supposed to be the week in which the government wanted attention to focus on what they were doing to get on top of the small boats situation to stop the boats from coming across from france. but this figure,

this milestone, having been reached, will absolutely shift the focus very starkly onto the point that 100,000 people have crossed since 2018. and just this year alone, we have reached 15,300. and that's despite the fact that for most of the last few months, the weather conditions have been pretty atrocious. it's been kind of freakish weather in the channel where it's blown from the northeast. a lot of the time, and that has the effect of kind of pushing against the prevailing tides. of pushing against the prevailing tides . so it churns prevailing tides. so it churns up the waves. it also pushes against the beaches of northern france and makes it just that bit more difficult for the boats to push off. so there have been few wind woes really in terms of the flat, calm days , periods the flat, calm days, periods where they can come across some very significant numbers. but despite that, still 15,000 odd have come across . have come across. >> i mean, martin said this is bad for the government in terms of optics and timing . but if the

of optics and timing. but if the conservative government want to fight the next election on on this , we're the only people who this, we're the only people who can solve this problem. we haven't yet. but it's everyone else against us. perhaps it could be good for them as well. >> i think there's no doubt that as we head towards the general election, that you will see increasingly a narrative coming from the conservative party that they are fixed on trying to do everything they possibly can to stop the boats , whether that's stop the boats, whether that's disrupting it at source with the people traffickers , who's people traffickers, who's signing the deals with france, enhancing the national crime agency and dealing with the issue over here of where to put asylum seekers in accommodation . that's a lot less expensive than the hotels that are costing £6 million a day. and yes , i £6 million a day. and yes, i think you will see a narrative where they will try to present

the opposition as those who are doing everything they can to put obstacles in their way. whether that works with the voters, only time will tell. but the optics of 100,000 people having coming across is a very powerful optic to try to get beyond . and today to try to get beyond. and today the focus will be on that figure, there's no doubt. >> mark white, thanks for that update. going to be a very busy day for you. now let's find out more from former director—general of the uk border force, tony smith. cbe tony, the 100,000 figure is significant, is it not? because since we began measuring the small boats in 2018, this is the big milestone. what does that say to you as a border force chief and our ability or our inability to take back control of our borders ? of our borders? >> well, i think we need to put figures in context. yes, it is worrying, isn't it, that we've had 100,000 crossings since 2018, but that is the five year figure. last year we had 45,000 or so on boats and another 30,000 or so through other

methods, lorries , etcetera. methods, lorries, etcetera. 75,000 a year intake is too high, but it's 60 in europe. germany, 218,000. france 137,000. spain 116. so. so we're not the highest by a long way in europe in the number of asylum applications every year. i was over chairing a border management conference in san diego earlier year out with diego earlier this year out with the patrol guys. i told the border patrol guys. i told them we're called. we're getting 45,000 now in small boats 45,000 a year now in small boats and they said, well, down here, we're week. we're getting that all week. they're 2.3 million they're looking at 2.3 million crossings irregular crossings down there. so this is a global phenomenon. we are part of a global of people moving global movement of people moving across the world. it's not going to go away. it's to going continue to get worse. and obviously, although it's worrying, it's very visible. don't forget, the government's figure bringing in people figure for bringing in people legally through lawful routes was 600,000 last year as opposed to 75,000 on illegal routes. so there are things the government can control through legal routes if they really want to reduce immigration , as well as tackling

immigration, as well as tackling this very significant problem of irregular across the channel. >> tony, you almost sound relaxed about figures . i relaxed about these figures. i doubt many people all up and down the country are feeling so relaxed. you know, you can say, oh, well, it's worse in this country , it's worse in that country, it's worse in that country. but when we're absolutely struggling to find the accommodation, we have an absolutely massive backlog of claims of asylum claims within the home office and people are struggling to find homes themselves. this is a really pressing issue. what can the government do to solve it? because i think everyone wants it to be solved . it to be solved. >> well, emily, i'm not relaxed about it at all. i don't want to give that impression. i'm just trying to give you the global context. and not everybody has worked the border business worked in the border business for as long as i have and seen these kind of movements across these kind of movements across the world. and it is a very, very serious problem for the government we've covering government. we've been covering a issues they've come a number of issues they've come out this week me about out with this week for me about we try and stop these boats we must try and stop these boats in order to stop the boats. we

have and stop them have to try and stop them getting across from france. that means closely with the means working closely with the french to try and do that. that's working to an extent , but that's working to an extent, but not as much as we would like for me, real big ticket issue is me, the real big ticket issue is rwanda and our own courts and the european courts and whether or not we're going to get a or not we're ever going to get a decision from the courts to say that can start removing that we can start removing people to rwanda, the government have boots on this. have bet their boots on this. a lot lot of lot of investment, a lot of coverage on that. and it's gone on on. and on. and i think on and on. and on. and i think that may well become the big election issue because the government well, in to government will say, well, in to order boats stopped, order get the boats stopped, we've deterrent we've got to send the deterrent message, removing message, which is removing people to rwanda. but as you know full we haven't know full well, we haven't removed to rwanda, removed a soul yet to rwanda, and still stuck the and that's still stuck in the courts . courts. >> tony, you're saying loud >> so, tony, you're saying loud and clear there that if we want to get to the nub of this issue, then we have to stop the pull factor. offering £7 factor. we can't be offering £7 million hotels . we million worth of hotels. we can't either offensive like can't be either offensive like the stockholm you're the bibby stockholm you're saying, have offshore saying, until we have offshore processing this will simply

continue ad infinitum . continue ad infinitum. >> i'm saying we've got to get removals going again . martin and removals going again. martin and that's what we did in my day. we had a target. i had a target to remove people from the territory. we were removing 4 or 5 times as many then as we are now. removals have gone through the floor. we're not sending people back. guys haven't people back. you guys haven't got stories or pictures to show of us loading people onto planes to be removed to rwanda or anywhere the goes anywhere else. the message goes across look, once you across to calais. look, once you get territorial get into british territorial waters , you're pretty well home waters, you're pretty well home and excuse the pun. and so and dry. excuse the pun. and so therefore, we've got to start removals again. think removals going again. i think that's trying to do that's what they're trying to do with illegal migration with the new illegal migration act, that's yet to be act, but that's yet to be operationalised and a big problem there is that we really need to get these removals going to rwanda to send that message very clearly. it's not worth you paying very clearly. it's not worth you paying ,5,000 to a smuggler, putting your life at risk to arrive in dover to find yourself being relocated to a third country that you would rather not go to. that's the policy

intention of the government. but thatis intention of the government. but that is very much contingent uponit that is very much contingent upon it being lawful and the courts, the supreme court and the european courts accepting that proposition. and we've been in the courts now for 18 months, two years. you know full well we had a plane ready to go to rwanda last year. it was on the runway. there were people on it. and systematically legal challenges were being plucked away from us. so in the end, that there was nothing left for us do but to cancel that us to do but to cancel that flight because of we cannot put the home secretary in contempt of be a major of court. that would be a major flaw our system. and we flaw in our system. and we cannot put anybody in contempt of court. so therefore and whilst it remains i'm whilst it remains unlawful, i'm afraid nothing the afraid there's nothing the border force can do about this . border force can do about this. i think it's really important that people understand how that people understand that how important judgements important these court judgements are legal are and these legal interventions , because believe are and these legal inte|ifantions , because believe are and these legal inte|if it'syns , because believe are and these legal inte|if it's becomes use believe are and these legal inte|if it's becomes lawful,ieve are and these legal inte|if it's becomes lawful, we me, if it's becomes lawful, we will have people on planes to rwanda pretty quickly. >> tony smith, former director general border force, strong general at border force, strong words. thanks joining us words. thanks forjoining us today britain's newsroom. today on britain's newsroom.

mark white still with us mark white is still with us in the mark you can hear the studio. mark you can hear the studio. mark you can hear the frustration in his voice there. they want to get these flights off the ground. they want to do the offshore processing, but they're simply not to do it. what's not allowed to do it. what's your rwanda scheme your take on the rwanda scheme as solution to problem? as a solution to this problem? >> think he makes very >> well, i think he makes a very pertinent point there. the government has effectively bet the house on rwanda happen thing, and that's by no means certain that that supreme court heanng certain that that supreme court hearing that we're going to get later in the year will find in favour of the government. and if it does not find in favour of the government, then i think the current policy , he is going to current policy, he is going to crumble because effectively what you have is the immigration, the illegal immigration bill that's now received royal assent. it's become law is there, but can't become law is there, but can't be used at the moment because it is only going to be used in a situation where the you cross

the channel, then you're deemed no longer to be an asylum seeker. you're ineligible to be an asylum seeker, you're immediately declared an illegal immigrant, you're put into detention action with a view to removing you to your own country if it's safe to do so or if not your own country, then a third country and the only third country and the only third country available is rwanda. if that comes to fruition. if it doesn't , it then the whole doesn't, it then the whole policy really is going to be in deep trouble because so many of the asylum seekers who would be otherwise kind of refused asylum get leave to remain because it's not safe to return them to iran or iraq or to syria or to afghanistan. there's no return agreements with these countries. >> mark, what do you say to those who argue that what the government needs to do, rather than schemes like rwanda , is than schemes like rwanda, is introduce more safe and legal routes ? routes? >> and that is the solution to this crisis? >> i mean, it is certainly

possible , but i think, you know, possible, but i think, you know, from the government's point of view, if the opened up a bunch of safe and legal routes , then of safe and legal routes, then you are effectively opening yourself up for many, many , many yourself up for many, many, many more people to come on the safe and legal routes rather than going across the channel yes, it would be less dangerous in that sense, but i think the numbers who would try to get through these safe and legal routes would be very significant indeed . and there is there is a global migration crisis, and presumably many people on the move, non—genuine cases would still try to go by boat . try to go by boat. >> isn't part of the problem? mark yeah. is that no matter how frustrated we are about failing to take back control of our borders, we've got a billion people on the move at any one time, many of which are economic migrants who simply want a better life. is this just the world now? can not stop this? world now? can we not stop this? can we not anything about it? can we not do anything about it? are powerless to stop it? are we powerless to stop it? >> i think to a degree, you're

absolutely right there. the world has changed in that sense . it's become much more you know, we're a much more interconnected world in the sense that people are aware of the opportunities that potentially await them in other countries . they are able to countries. they are able to communicate with the types of people that could facilitate that journey to western europe in the or the uk if that's where they want to head. and it's easier in a sense than ever for them to do that. and there is also a myriad of other reasons of wars , of climate change to an of wars, of climate change to an extent as well. that is pushing people out of their countries in africa and other places beyond and heading to the likes of western europe and well , mark western europe and well, mark white. so people on the move as is true. >> sobering stuff. thank you once again for your expert analysis on what's the very busy news day for you. thank you very much. okay. still come, gb much. okay. still to come, gb news investigates. reporter charlie has acquired

praising the taliban's rule in afghanistan when he says it's risked becoming a propaganda tool. according to experts , it's astonishing. >> in an interview with the taliban state owned tv, suleiman ghanl taliban state owned tv, suleiman ghani, an imam who works at the saint george's hospital in tooting , said he saint george's hospital in tooting, said he was very impressed by the taliban government. yes, he actually said that. >> let's find out more from counter—terrorism expert wasiq wasiq wasiq . thank you very much wasiq wasiq. thank you very much indeed for joining wasiq wasiq. thank you very much indeed forjoining us on indeed for joining us on britain's newsroom this morning. this is a shocking story that charlie peters has uncovered. someone working within the nhs is doing interviews about how brilliant he thinks the taliban is . is. >> well, it is indeed shocking. >> well, it is indeed shocking. >> and i think for some of us who know the history of some of these individuals who have gone to meet with the taliban, it's not as shocking as perhaps some of your viewers might find. now, this is, of course, troubling because this is a person who is in a position of responsibility

and apparently had gone to afghanistan as a fact finding mission to for humanitarian purposes, but has now allegedly been praising the taliban . and been praising the taliban. and this is seriously worrying for the people that he's in care of now. >> wasiq i'm playing devil's advocate for a minute. he was on his holidays as i wouldn't choose to hang out with the taliban on my holiday. but this gentleman clearly has can he do what he wants on his own ticket or does the fact he works with the nhs override that? and this is a severe error of judgement ? is a severe error of judgement? >> well, of course he's he's entitled to take a holiday . i entitled to take a holiday. i think if he's. entitled to take a holiday. i think if he's . but the fact is think if he's. but the fact is he's claiming that he's he's gone there for humanitarian purposes, not on not on a houday purposes, not on not on a holiday and that that seems to be worrying. and the there is an issue of compatibility between what he's doing there and then his role as a chaplain . and for his role as a chaplain. and for me, i don't think that those two things are compatible when you're praising the taliban, who

let's just remind your viewers , let's just remind your viewers, have completely erased half the population . that's women and population. that's women and children, girls . and not only children, girls. and not only that, they've banned girls from education and furthermore, the sikh population , which was sikh population, which was 300,000 in afghanistan, has dwindled , so much so that dwindled, so much so that they've now in exile and had to travel to india because is because of the taliban's rule . because of the taliban's rule. so i don't think that he's praising the taliban is compatible with his position . compatible with his position. >> wasiq i don't know if you have these statistics or if there is polling on this, but how many muslims in this country may have respect for the taliban or be very impressed by the taliban's rule? >> well, i think there will be certainly a fringe element of them, which would be your extremist types who are very conservative and who want a shana conservative and who want a sharia based system. but the fact is, an online hyphen poll only last year found that the top three concerns for british

muslims are , um, good education, muslims are, um, good education, a good job, and getting on the housing ladder. they don't want a sharia based system. they don't want islamic law. and that's just the fact that they're britain and they're still in britain and they're still in britain and they're travelling to they're not travelling to afghanistan. to afghanistan. they didn't to travel isis held territory when isis called , um, you know, for, isis called, um, you know, for, for everyone to come over. so, um, what he's or what the taliban allegedly represent is something certainly the majority of british muslims do not agree with. >> and wasiq, you may have expected this gentleman to have issued a bit of a grovelling apology for what he did and didn't do that. instead, he's put this frothing at the mouth letter which accuses his letter out, which he accuses his critics, his critics, his critics, his critics, his critics being far right. and critics of being far right. and he said as a result of the sensationalist story, a few of his patients were denied care. he might have thought about that position before going to visit the taliban , don't you think? the taliban, don't you think? >> well, exactly . i think it's >> well, exactly. i think it's ironic to blame media outlets

for bringing this story to the pubuc for bringing this story to the public and then blaming them for, um, his patients, not receiving care. maybe he should have thought about that before he travelled over there to apparently praise them instead of actually working in his position and looking after the people in his care and do you think it's an issue that a gentleman like this is working for the nhs and do you think it should be removed from his post? well, i think that's a decision for to take if what if for the nhs to take if what if his views of the taliban are incompatible with the you know, with his contract and with him being able to deliver care to his patients , then i think his patients, then i think that's a question for them to deal with. and something for them to really consider. >> hm thank you very much indeed. wasiq wasiq. there counter—terrorism expert . very counter—terrorism expert. very concerning. i do wonder how many people share these types of views in this country and what we can do to stop it, encourage

people to accept western liberal democrat basic ideas, deeply , democrat basic ideas, deeply, deeply concerning. but of course, tobias ellwood , you drew course, tobias ellwood, you drew a lot of criticism not too long ago for saying the taliban was a game changing rule. yeah. and you know , something positive. you know, something positive. >> the one hand, you know, >> on the one hand, you know, you say we should be you can say we should be speaking like that. speaking to people like that. i mean, spoke to gerry adams, mean, we spoke to gerry adams, the ira. tony did. but the ira. tony blair did. but look, guy works the look, this guy works for the nhs. has duty of care. he nhs. he has a duty of care. he speaks to people walls. and speaks to people on walls. and if sympathising with the if he's sympathising with the taliban, think want taliban, i think you might want to questions about his to ask questions about his suitable to speak patients. >> but is a free speech issue? >> well, there we go. let us know what you think. vaiews@gbnews.com. still to come after the break, i'll be paying come after the break, i'll be paying late paying tribute to the late great jamie punk rock legend paying tribute to the late great j.and punk rock legend paying tribute to the late great j.and yes, punk rock legend paying tribute to the late great j.and yes, he punk rock legend paying tribute to the late great j.and yes, he will.|nk rock legend . and yes, he will. >> but first, it's your news bulletin rhiannon jones . bulletin with rhiannon jones. >> emily, thank you . it's 1131. >> emily, thank you. it's1131. your top stories from the newsroom . a high street chain newsroom. a high street chain wilko has collapsed. the company's appointed

standing for his men, standing up for his men, standing up for his men, standing up for force. he standing up for his force. he railed against the suggestion that the police are institutionally racist despite massive evidence of that sort of thing goes on. he's got to sort out issues like the charing cross whatsapp situation . that's cross whatsapp situation. that's all got to be dealt with. but i do quite like the way he's speaking up. and what he's having a go at now is i think he's trying to suggest that the police back marking police should take back marking their you see their own homework, if you see what mean. so if they've got what i mean. so if they've got rogue there, get them rogue cops in there, get them out whereas again, the out quickly. whereas again, the legal profession making legal profession are making millions of hedging their millions out of hedging their bets on errant policemen and delaying the, you know, the time it takes to go through the process to get them out of the force. he wants them out now sooner rather than later. and i'm with him on that one. >> yes, it should be as simple as this, my view. as an as this, in my view. as an employer, you have the right to sack member of staff. employer, you have the right to sac emma mber of staff. employer, you have the right to sac emma absolutely. ff. employer, you have the right to sac emma absolutely. i. employer, you have the right to sac emma absolutely. i see no >> emma absolutely. i see no reason why police officers guilty of gross misconduct should be suspended or absolutely suspended on full

pay- absolutely suspended on full pay. absolutely placed on restricted duties or endless, as you say, subject to endless appeals. this is absolutely outrageous . now, since the outrageous. now, since the murder of sarah everard in 2021, the rape and murder, brutal. you know , all sorts of horrifying , know, all sorts of horrifying, very, very few officers. but all sorts of horrifying things have come out. and i think that they need to be able to act. the thing that i way the thing i can't get my head around, it's the both of you is as i said earlier, i applied to be a member of my school's pta, my kids school's pta, and i had a bafic kids school's pta, and i had a basic criminal background check , which which like a day . , which which took like a day. >> yeah. why are these people even being hired first even being hired in the first place? well, are we hiring place? well, why are we hiring coppers we now have coppers who we now know have have against them ? have sex offences against them? >> violent, shocking, shocking . >> violent, shocking, shocking. >> violent, shocking, shocking. >> driving drug abuse. i mean why they in the first place? >> msos. it's only a few policemen. not a lot . i believe policemen. not a lot. i believe it's quite a few policemen. i have a decision now that if have made a decision now that if i'm ever approached by a policeman again about something, he about. my he wants to talk to me about. my first question to that policeman

will do you have any will be, do you have any criminal convictions? so criminal convictions? because so many do that many of them now do you say that and you're man. and you're a man. >> imagine it feels for >> imagine how it feels for a woman to be told, i don't know, to be told to stop in the street, let someone into your street, to let someone into your house, whatever it is? yes. that is truly frightening. and it is now truly frightening. and it is now truly frightening. and it is lot of is terrible because a lot of women have lost faith and women have have lost faith and also lost confidence. don't also lost confidence. i don't blame you in the police and actually feel frightened at the idea asking idea of a police officer asking to into your home or to come into your home or telling you to in their car. telling you to get in their car. i don't blame you. >> i blame you because we >> i don't blame you because we should respect the should all have respect for the police. depend. should all have respect for the polbut depend. should all have respect for the polbut it's depend. should all have respect for the polbut it's more)end. should all have respect for the polbut it's more than respect. >> but it's more than respect. it's about the idea. it's about safety. the idea. emily you could be to emily that you could be told to get into a police officer's car as a woman, and we wouldn't know whether that was safe or not. that's really. >> n that's really. >> of course not. i mean, look, it's phrase to it's a hackneyed old phrase to say i was a kid and you saw say when i was a kid and you saw a policeman in the street, you know, you immediately you know, stiffen yourself and had stiffen yourself and you had respect but you respect for the police. but you see, the years, see, i think over the years, it's down down and it's gone down and down and down. have stopped it at the down. i'd have stopped it at the point where policemen were first allowed have their

allowed to have tattoos on their arms, god, because arms, honest to god, because because then, know, you're because then, you know, you're turning into that turning the police into that was the police becoming the start of the police becoming a force in society a liberal force in society rather law enforcers , which rather than law enforcers, which is we want them to do. is what we want them to do. >> standards. >> standards. >> the start of the decline. >> the start of the decline. >> yeah, it may have been a bit more than what i want more than that. what i want to move to another one, emma, move on to another one, emma, one of your stories here, central pledge, one rishi central pledge, one of rishi sunak to cut nhs sunak five pledges to cut nhs waiting and eminently waiting lists and eminently sensible you see here in sensible story you see here in the telegraph. if you want to skip queues, simply go to other areas. >> it is okay. it's sensible . >> it is okay. it's sensible. our waiting lists are what, nearly 7.5 million, more than 3 million people are waiting over 18 months. it is sensible , but 18 months. it is sensible, but as with everything, i think in the nhs it's fine if you're young, if you're articulate, if you're pushy , if you're vaguely you're pushy, if you're vaguely healthy , maybe you need to healthy, maybe you need to travel to another hospital for a day procedure. fine. and then you can travel back. someone can drive you back. if you are old, if you are frail, if you are vulnerable, which many people in the are, can you travel the nhs are, how can you travel to hospital in terms of

to another hospital in terms of how can you advocate for yourself of the nuts how can you advocate for yourbolts? of the nuts and bolts? >> this policy though, it's simply you around? simply to move you around? >> that's fine. >> yeah, that's fine. >> yeah, that's fine. >> if you want procedure a that's fine and it's busy in your then this area has as your area, then this area has as what about is usual. what i'm worried about is usual. >> it's the people that push for it, the people that can say to their oh, could their consultant, oh, could i have scan or i go? have this scan or could i go? >> totally agree. but there's >> i totally agree. but there's another story another element in this story which very much in favour which i'm very much in favour of, that is to bring into of, and that is to bring into the sequence private the whole sequence private hospitals use more private hospitals use more private hospitals don't all know hospitals and don't we all know that, speaking, that, generally speaking, capitalism better than capitalism works better than pubuc capitalism works better than public make an public ownership? i'll make an exception with the water companies right. but generally speaking, efficient . speaking, it's more efficient. so i reckon the nhs would get better for their buck if better bang for their buck if they used more hospitals they used more private hospitals and emma , you talk about the and emma, you talk about the transport and course won't transport and of course it won't be convenient a lot of be convenient for a lot of people, i think of people, but i think clusters of expertise probably be expertise would probably be quite a thing if you know quite a good thing if you know that nottingham is great for heart procedures or you know that london is south london is great for i don't know, think of another illness, alcoholism or

cardiac conditions or whatever . cardiac conditions or whatever. >> yeah, that would probably be far efficient. they could far more efficient. they could get procedures more get through the procedures more quickly. as infrastructure >> as long as the infrastructure is place. but you can't is put in place. but you can't just have elderly person told just have an elderly person told that could go have that that they could go and have that procedure aberdeen when they procedure in aberdeen when they live cornwall. live down in cornwall. that's what mean. live down in cornwall. that's wh.you nean. live down in cornwall. that's wh.you fly|n. live down in cornwall. that's wh.you fly you to aberdeen. >> you fly you to aberdeen. yeah. well maybe they do. yeah. well i may, maybe they do. >> there's ways being more >> if there's ways of being more efficient. than the efficient. yes. than the allocation of private and public balance one way. balance is one way. >> yes. >> yes. >> and i think it's eminently sensible to say, well you can go to cambridge have your heart to cambridge to have your heart checked out they have checked out because they have vacancies. a hernia vacancies. i i had a hernia operation i was given the operation and i was given the choice or going choice of going private or going nhs. can't afford private, but nhs. i can't afford private, but they me private anyway they sent me a private anyway and offered scans my and i got offered scans on my wrist they just send you wrist where they just send you to harley you go, to harley street and you go, well, okay, obviously they've paid they have provision. >> i think you find that hip replacements have of or the fastest shrinking complaint in procedure i'm sorry, on the waiting list because they use so many private hospitals to get them done. >> that's talk about somebody them done. >> tmight:alk about somebody them done. >> tmight needbout somebody them done. >> tmight need a ut somebody them done. >> tmight need a new�*mebody them done. >> tmight need a new hip. ody them done. >> tmight need a new hip. the who might need a new hip. the rolling stones, mike on the
