is saying and what government is trying to do. so yes, it's infuriating, we're the only infuriating, but we're the only party that can sort out . party that can sort this out. >> we have as yet failed to solve the problem. well, that's self—evident , but i don't think self—evident, but i don't think it's through lack of trying by the government that everybody can see the problem . not 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. >> frankly, the conservatives have presided over 13 years of failure on this, and they've created this chaos which now needs be fixed. needs to be fixed. >> well, let's get the thoughts of gb news home and security editor mark white. >> mark esther mcvey . they're >> mark esther mcvey. they're saying the government's along the line, sort of saying the right line, sort of saying to people, if you come here illegally, be sent illegally, you will be sent back. clearly not. back. clearly they're not. >> we look at these >> when we look at these numbers, whatever they're saying isn't reaching those people. >> because they isn't reaching those people. >> desperate because they isn't reaching those people. >> desperate to because they isn't reaching those people. >> desperate to come:ause they isn't reaching those people. >> desperate to come here they isn't reaching those people. >> desperate to come here foray are desperate to come here for lots of different reasons .

lots of different reasons. >> yes. i mean, people are continuing to come the waiting list for those that are still to receive an initial decision on their asylum applications. can tinues to grow. their asylum applications. can tinues to grow . and the tinues to grow. and the government is honest in saying that there is no silver bullet to solving this crisis. it has to solving this crisis. it has to be a multifaceted approach which involves trying to take the fight to the people smugglers. with the deal, as was announced yesterday by the government, with regard to turkey also dealing with the people when they're here in terms of where to house them and taking them away from more expensive hotel accommodation to more basic accommodation on the likes of the bibby stockholm barge. all of these issues are competing and vying for the attention of the media. as far as the government was concerned, this was supposed to be the week

actually in which they would show us that they really are trying to get to grips with the small boats crisis that they will make true on rishi sunak pledge to stop the boats out. but what we see time and time again is every time there is a break in the weather when conditions improve , then these conditions improve, then these boats come across in very significant numbers. and today, again , you were saying in your again, you were saying in your introduction, 400, i'm now being told the very latest is that it looks like 9 or 10 boats. so we're pushing 500. and there may be more as the day progresses. today, busy day in the channel today. >> the rnli , i understand, were >> the rnli, i understand, were rescuing people earlier today, including women and children . including women and children. >> yes, there were reports certainly of people in the water. i would add a slight caveat in the sense that the people traffickers tell those on board the boats to dial 999 when they get within range of the uk and they tell the coastguard

that there are people in the water or that there are women and children on board to ensure and children on board to ensure a faster response . so sometimes a faster response. so sometimes you get reports in the initial stages. that might be something , but actually when they get there they find , well, no, it's there they find, well, no, it's just a boat full of people and they picked up anyway. they get picked up anyway. >> this is an >> mark clearly this is an international issue. lots of countries are struggling with increased increased increased arrivals, increased small boats. we've seen tragic news with italy. we've seen news with greece as well. this is something affecting many countries, country countries, but not every country has the same issue when it comes to processing those who arrive . to processing those who arrive. i've i was very interested to hear the immigration minister , hear the immigration minister, robert jenrick, earlier this week saying the government doesn't necessarily want to process people that quickly. why is that? >> well, the problem is so on that point, you've got this new illegal immigration bill which has now gone through parliament. it's become law , but they can't it's become law, but they can't enact it because it relies on there being a safe third

country. so what happens is that people that come across that, then then will be denied the ability to claim asylum because they'll be deemed to be an illegal immigrant immigrant under this new law . but you under this new law. but you can't then return them to their home country if they're coming from afghanistan or iran or iraq or syria . there's no returns or syria. there's no returns agreements. they're not safe countries to send people back to anyway. so you rely on the third safe country , which is rwanda , safe country, which is rwanda, is what the government's bet. the house on. but rwanda is mired in the courts and there's no solution to that until later in the year. and there's every chance it could go against the government , in which case this government, in which case this policy , which is based around policy, which is based around this , declaring those who come this, declaring those who come across the channel illegal and immediately removing them would just crumble . so it's a very just crumble. so it's a very precarious position . anne and precarious position. anne and all the while you can understand

why perhaps the immigration minister is suggesting that you know, not processing them at least then saves them from the dilemma of, well, we're not processing them, but we can't return them to their home country . we need to give them to country. we need to give them to indefinite leave to remain anyway. >> okay . mark white, thank you >> okay. mark white, thank you for your thoughts there. >> no, really, really interesting particularly interesting stuff, particularly the senses of the contradictory senses of government view on this . let's government view on this. let's get more with the thoughts of gb news presenter nigel farage. now now, nigel, good to see you. this afternoon. this is a really cunous this afternoon. this is a really curious point. the prime minister has made stopping the boats one of his five priorities. he bangs on about it all the time, and yet today this milestone, 100,000 arrivals. yeah absolutely. >> and in fact, worth thinking about, isn't it? all the coverage this week about the bibby stockholm? well, more people have come already today than the bibby stockholm can accommodate . and i think sunak

accommodate. and i think sunak was extremely unwise to make this pledge of stopping the boats. he doesn't have the ammunition to do it, but more importantly, he doesn't have the political will to do it . you political will to do it. you know, tony abbott, when he was the australian didn't ask the australian pm, didn't ask for permission from the courts , for permission from the courts, didn't seek the approval of the united nations or anybody else. he he towed the boats he simply he towed the boats back indonesia and the whole back to indonesia and the whole world went potty . the british world went potty. the british foreign office, the eu , the un. foreign office, the eu, the un. how dare he behave in this awful way? but you know, really funny thing happened. the boat stopped coming. and that's why all these arguments about going for the criminal traffickers , about criminal traffickers, about giving money to the french, about manning the french beaches, none of those will work because financial incentive because the financial incentive for the traffickers is so high. but more importantly, the incentive for those that are paying incentive for those that are paying the traffickers is even higher because virtually nobody ever gets deported . ever gets deported. >> nigel, do you think it would have been easier for this government to simply do what

tony abbott did? were the boats coming from a much poorer, weaker country? isn't the issue here that the french could well retaliate were to we do this? they may well start a trade war with the united kingdom. we've seen lots of threats from the european union. if the united kingdom were to pursue this policy of turning back the boats , well, we can start buying french wine . french wine. >> start buying french. >> we can start buying french. you know, cars, if that's what they want. look the fact is, we actually had an aeroplane on the runway with albeit a handful of people who were going to rwanda . that was the government's big push. what happened at 10 pm. uk time , an unnamed judge uk time, an unnamed judge probably somebody not even legally qualified in strasbourg, stopped that plane from going. so we've been hamstrung right from the very start. and this was one of the points about the brexit referendum already , the brexit referendum already, the european union had launched this

mad policy in 2015, which said if you cross the med and tread on european soil, you can stay and the knock on consequences were always clear . so we've got were always clear. so we've got some talk today , tom, you know, some talk today, tom, you know, perhaps up to a third of cabinet ministers would like us to see us leaving the echr. it's very much a minority position within the conservative party. but then leaving the eu was a minority position within the conservative party. and unless you do that , party. and unless you do that, it unless you do that and then amend ed the human rights legislation in britain that has come from our signing up in the first place. i don't believe unless you do that, you will ever be able legally to solve this problem. >> nigel some people would say we need to keep this in perspective here. the unhcr, november last year, according to their statistics , there was just their statistics, there was just over 231,000 refugees in the uk . now that boils to down 0.54% of the uk's total population.

that's really not many people . that's really not many people. >> well, it depends who's coming, doesn't it ? >> well, it depends who's coming, doesn't it? i mean, in the case of albanians , as the case of albanians, as i know, we've sent a few back , but know, we've sent a few back, but an unbelievably 50% of albanians that claimed asylum in britain were granted it, whereas germany granted 0. you talk to police forces, all over this country about what has happened with criminality in their cities, in their counties , as a result of their counties, as a result of their counties, as a result of the albanians taking everything oven the albanians taking everything over. and i think you can quite clearly see that the first priority ought to be protection of the british people . so of the british people. so a small number of people with bad intent and have a look at those tick tock videos literally in albanian saying come and join the crime gangs and get rich . a the crime gangs and get rich. a small number of people can do a great deal of harm. well nigel, thank you very much for your thoughts this morning. >> clearly, this is an issue thatis >> clearly, this is an issue that is not going away any time sooi'i. 500“. >> soon. >> the police federation for northern ireland says urgent

answers are required after details emerged of a second major data leak containing the names of more than 200 serving officers and staff . psni chief officers and staff. psni chief constable simon byrne will face questions shortly. this comes after the worst security breach in northern ireland's history, where the names and locations of the entire police force were mistakenly put online for three hours. >> well, let's find out more now from our northern ireland reporter dougie beattie . dougie, reporter dougie beattie. dougie, what has changed since we spoke yesterday . yesterday. >> well, i'm here at the policing board where there has been a special meeting called for this morning . the chief for this morning. the chief constable arrived here not very long ago and really what the board members are most concerned about, strangely enough, is the laptop. why with this laptop was stolen from a car on the 6th of july. that's over a month ago. it has not information and we don't know the extent of the information of those officers on

it. and of course, the chief constable has had to come back from holidays last night to explain about the huge data breach that happened yesterday . breach that happened yesterday. and nobody mentioned that he went on holidays the laptop went on holidays with the laptop already missing. the police federation are quite furious because it's the safety of their members and what they are really looking for is answers also in and around why such a junior member of staff was able to access all the details that was published online. i caught up with a couple of the board members on the way in, and this is what they had to say. >> a lot of questions to be asked, a lot of answers to lessen what it is clear is that there has been a monumental mistake made here. but this certainly seems to be more than it can't be written off simply as human error. there has been a failure by people, yes, but there has been failure in processes and a failure by the police and the gravity of the situation is increasing as anxiety increases across police

officer hours and staff and the risk that they face anyway has been heightened . been heightened. >> i think it's too too early to call for anyone's resignation. i think we need to hear what is happening today, get all the questions asked, try and get some answers . some answers. >> well, the chief constable, simon byrne will join deirdre turner, chair of the policing board, at around 1230 for a press conference and we'll hear exactly what's going on there. >> okay, dougie beattie thanks very much. joining us now is former royal ulster constabulary special branch inspector and author william matchett. good afternoon to you, mr matchett. thanks for talking to us on gb news the police federation is being inundated with calls from worried officers as they need to get to the bottom of what has happened fast and ease their concerns , don't they? because concerns, don't they? because it's a terrifying situation to be for thousands of people here and their families. yes

>> yes. i think that's a good point. >> the families the families are of a of police officers are usually overlooked. >> but the families are instrumental in all this because they're human beings. they go to work. and my experience here of what we call the troubles is a lot of police officers were murdered off duty as opposed to on duty. so it was a very it's a very intimate form of terrorism. and northern ireland, the describe it some people call it the north of ireland. it's essentially a big village. you know, it's 3% of the population . it's the size of yorkshire . . it's the size of yorkshire. it's not that big . so people do it's not that big. so people do know each other. something like this will have more impact . some this will have more impact. some police officers will look at it with great trepidation and will be more worried than than other officers. and william , i think officers. and william, i think when you were . when you were. >> sorry to interrupt . i just >> sorry to interrupt. i just got so much to ask you when you

were a serving officer, what what was daily life like for you, the steps you had to take to protect yourself and your family ? family? >> yeah, well, i joined at 18, and to be honest, i went into it with my eyes totally closed. i was more interested in a blondie and a yamaha 250 and how ireland was doing in the triple crown than policing . so there's than policing. so there's a degree of naivety with me and as as a young teenager and i grew up as a young teenager and i grew up in a in a council estate, a mixed council estate by mixed domain catholic and protestant, and there was a there was a degree of it was me and another me and another constable shared a room. it was a protestant and the catholic, both of us 18 and we were as green as anything. and what we did and i don't think either of us realised, was our mother and father. all of a sudden we joined the police

force organisation, which traditionally didn't even realise the history of ireland, that that there's a certain hostility to the police. there's a culture almost of anti police and when i joined i put it was my mother and father at great risk to be honest and they suffered because the first time i had to move house was was from the family home and they were the family home and they were the ones who took the sort of full brunt of it with the house being damaged, etcetera . so it being damaged, etcetera. so it does for police officers. where i come from, you're very conscious. then when you're married, have and married, you'd have family. and so certain areas you avoid there's only certain places that you can live . you can't go out you can live. you can't go out only talk about what you do. you don't want to be seen in your police uniform. so you try to walk that that line between being discreet and just telling open lies, bearing in mind that you have to have bring up a family, bring up your children . family, bring up your children. do you tell them explicitly what you do? when do you tell them

what you do? when i went when we went on holidays, it was like, what does daddy work out? i always avoid it as a rule , irish always avoid it as a rule, irish bars because as soon as you go in, what's your name ? where are in, what's your name? where are you from? where do you work at? so policing here, particularly for a people from the catholic community, is very difficult because there's a history of not supporting the police and being and being basically alien to the police where the police are just they're not popular and the names that you're the sort of the slurs they also almost became a culture. >> well, william matchett, i'm afraid we're going to have to leave it there. we need to get to a break. but thank you so much for your really insightful comments there about the real life that the police life that that the police officers in northern ireland live. you . live. thank you. >> do stay with us here on the live desk on gb news we have plenty more to talk about . don't

at the sunday express. good to see you in the studio this is waiting list record highs again, 7.6 million. anything that helps bnng 7.6 million. anything that helps bring that down is surely a good idea, is it not? >> it is a good idea and it is welcome. but i've been ringing around various experts this morning and none of them are very excited about it. they see it as a bit of a gimmick, detracting from the major problems of the nhs. you know , problems of the nhs. you know, doctors are not wanting to work the waiting list continue to go up. we have a social care crisis . this there is a lack of capacity in the nhs and if you're offering patients an alternative place to go, that's no good . if there's clogged up no good. if there's clogged up elsewhere . and also most elsewhere. and also most patients don't really want to travel. so the scheme was initiated in january and it's being increased to other other aspects of the nhs . but since aspects of the nhs. but since then. aspects of the nhs. but since then . only 1700 patients have

then. only 1700 patients have been offered an alternative. we don't know. there are no figures on how many people have taken up that offer . that offer. >> did you say most people don't want to travel? well, most because that would surprise me because that would surprise me because i know say, if it was my mum or dad and they were waiting for an appointment, i would for an appointment, i, i would happily anywhere to happily drive them anywhere to get appointment happily drive them anywhere to get mostappointment happily drive them anywhere to get most people ment happily drive them anywhere to get most people who are waiting >> most people who are waiting for operation an are elderly for an operation an are elderly and infirm frail. for an operation an are elderly and infirm frail . they're and infirm and frail. they're very unwell and odd as it may seem , they want to be local and seem, they want to be local and they want to be near their relatives and they want to be able to get there quickly, see the figures show that most there's not many people taking this up . and if it's only 1700 this up. and if it's only 1700 who've been offered an alternative since january, we don't know how many people have taken it up going to make much of a difference to make much difference. >> now the scheme is being expanded today. so perhaps those numbers up. but do numbers will pick up. but how do people this scheme? people access this scheme? will they by their they just be told by their doctor, here are your options? is it like tinder?

>> i think that's a bit of a spin. i think what i as i understand it, spin. i think what i as i understand it , the hospital is understand it, the hospital is like computer system. so like a new computer system. so in fact, patients have always been able to travel out of area for appointments and for admission to hospitals, have always had been able to do that. but what we're seeing, what this is, is a new computer system, really, and this will allow hospitals to match patients and their needs to other hospitals, which may have shorter waiting lists . but the point is, lists. but the point is, hospitals across the country are all struggling. i mean , there all struggling. i mean, there may be hospitals that are more efficient, but it's just not a big deal compared to these record waits that have been announced today . it's record waits that have been announced today. it's going up. it's been going up. and everything that we've done or that the nhs has tried to do over the past ten years to try and get the system working better and improve waiting lists hasn't worked. so this is kind

of like a sticking plaster on what needs fundamental reform. we're not really seeing much difference. >> and also tomorrow we've got this junior doctors strike starting again. that's lasting until tuesday. so absolutely , until tuesday. so absolutely, that doesn't help either. >> well , it's since that doesn't help either. >> well, it's since industrial action starts , there's been over action starts, there's been over 800,000 appointments cancelled or postponed. so that's really pushing the system. the hospitals, doctors don't want to work in the system. they're angry. and this appears to be like a distraction from that huge problem , which is know they huge problem, which is know they need to sit down and do talks and get those strikes sorted out because that's causing a massive disruption. >> lucy, thanks so much , as >> lucy, thanks so much, as always, for coming in. lucy johnson, our health and social affairs editor at the sunday express. do stay with us. yes much more to come. >> bad news for high streets as budget retailer wilko has fallen into but before into administration. but before all your news headlines

try and save the company. but the ceo came out this morning and said that the time has run out in a statement, ceo mark jackson said, we've 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 preserve as do what's best to preserve as many jobs as possible through our administration . so the our administration. so the administrators priced administrators are priced waterhouse coopers. they're now to going business and to going run the business and try find some buyers. try and find some buyers. now, we've obviously this has been a staple the high street staple part of the high street for many, many years. and we've been talking to some of the customers about how customers here today about how they prospect of they feel about the prospect of losing close . losing close. >> think the i hate the >> sad. i think the i hate the way all the high streets have collapsed and degraded. >> but this is such a lovely shop and the people who work here are nice and it's full of really normal, old fashioned practical stuff that people need i >> -- >> and i 5mm >> and i just think it's sad. and i understand everyone buys it all online now. >> i think the world is going crazy now because everybody is

closing down. >> i think the world has gone crazy , to be honest. crazy, to be honest. >> things are really hard now, but what can we do? >> oh, there's so many things closing down nowadays . we just closing down nowadays. we just have to take it as it comes . have to take it as it comes. >> so the shop that sells homeware and hardware obviously has been here for a long time. i had a quick chat with one of the staff members who said they know as much as we do and they're just keeping their fingers crossed that a buyer can indeed be found . be found. >> lisa hartle outsider wilko in kensington, thanks very much . kensington, thanks very much. 12,000 jobs. >> well , the home secretary has >> well, the home secretary has demanded that police hunt down those responsible for yesterday's disturbance at oxford street. >> teenagers and police clashed in the famous london shopping district after tiktok videos went viral, which encouraged viewers to loot shops in the area. in response, the home secretary has said the police have my full backing to do

whatever necessary to ensure pubuc whatever necessary to ensure public order. >> well, joining us now is the former met police detective peter bleksley. and, peter, these are the most extraordinary scenes , many videos that have scenes, many videos that have gone viral on social media overnight . hordes of young overnight. hordes of young people attempting to just take things with impunity. >> yeah, completely and utter lawlessness. >> but i'm very happy to be sat here today talking about what essentially as i see it, is a good news policing story. i think the met deserve a lot of credit for here first and foremost, they were across the social media posts that where people were kind of rallied to take part in this this outrageous behaviour . outrageous behaviour. >> then, of course, they deployed a lot of resources mounted police , police dogs and mounted police, police dogs and of course, the central london reserve of police officers that are always there were on standby . and so we saw lots of police officers, some pretty robust policing, a number of arrests .

policing, a number of arrests. and by and large, those who wanted to cause major disorder manifestly failed . manifestly failed. >> does focus then switch to tiktok and how this sort of video appeal was not taken down. >> yeah, questions for snapchat, where it originated and tiktok, without a doubt they must have algorithms that can detect this kind of inflammatory language. it's 2023. i'm sure they have . it's 2023. i'm sure they have. it's 2023. i'm sure they have. it's just a case of whether they want to utilise it or not. and of course, a big note and concern for the future would be if we rewind end to 2011. for example , excuse me, when we had example, excuse me, when we had widespread rioting in various locations throughout the uk, that in part was fuelled by social media, but there was no slap . snapchat and tiktok in slap. snapchat and tiktok in those days and these are a lot quicker . and of course, the quicker. and of course, the disturbances could be the concern is, is that now this has happened on oxford street with ,

happened on oxford street with, let's face it, some success. >> there was a lot of people there. this could happen in many other towns and cities. now, if people know that they can put these of videos you these sort of videos out, you know, looted or whatever you want to call they could be want to call it, they could be doing birmingham next. yeah, absolutely . absolutely. >> police have got to be >> and the police have got to be on absolute alert of on absolute red alert to all of this. think there's a very this. i think there's a very serious note here, though, for retailers and the police, particularly those retailers , particularly those retailers, those that have a non—intervention policy, which basically creates a shoplifters charter where people can just walk into shops, help themselves and walk out completely unmolested . and that has got to unmolested. and that has got to stop their cowardly these policies. and when you appease people, when you allow this kind of blatant , flagrant shoplifting of blatant, flagrant shoplifting , which happens the length and breadth of the country, we then of course, what happens, it escalates, it empowers these these lawbreakers, these hooligans, these people who have no respect for law and order. and so there needs to be a very

robust approach . we've heard robust approach. we've heard senior police officers saying that they are now going to investigate all those types of crimes from shoplifting to phone thefts to bike thefts and many other crimes . let's see if that other crimes. let's see if that those words turn into actions and deeds. let's see people arrested. charge and punishment. we need deterrence . we need deterrence. >> yes. now you point to some success yesterday, the large scale looting that was planned , scale looting that was planned, failed. and yet in those videos we see potentially hundreds of young londoners swarming the streets. and only as far as i understand it, nine arrest s why so few? >> yeah, nine so far. well, when you have a large public order event , it's often quite simply event, it's often quite simply about the numbers. you don't have the numbers of officers to go in and make those arrests at the time. >> i imagine there's a lot of cctv to go through and body worn videos from the from the police officers. >> there'll be a raft of

evidence. and so because every police officer that arrests someone , that's one less police someone, that's one less police officer on the street deterring others, that's one less officer who can't draw their baton and charge a crowd if need be. so that's why there is sometimes a reluctance to arrest them there and then but rest assured that cctv footage will be being examined. they will be going back over it all and there'll be other arrests as well. >> peter bleksley, thank you so much for talking us through that. and let's hope that there are that those numbers tick up into double, maybe even triple digits and loot. >> a day doesn't spread >> a shop day doesn't spread anywhere else. yeah, awful. okay. with us here on gb okay. do stay with us here on gb news because we are talking next about , well, this risk that we about, well, this risk that we could become a cashless society i >> -- >> that's despite more than 5 million adults still reliant on cash in the united kingdom . cash in the united kingdom. >> but support is growing for gb news says don't kill cash campaign , which now stands at campaign, which now stands at over 260,000 signatures. that's not bad, is it? pressure is

across in a very busy day. you're seeing here pictures of bofis you're seeing here pictures of boris johnson when he was prime minister, touring lydd airport and looking at some of the drones and other technology that the coastguard and border force are using in in the small boats crisis to monitor those coming across the channel. we don't know exactly which drone it was, whether it was a border force drone or indeed potentially a coastguard drone. we're told that it was one of the drones operating, though , out of lydd operating, though, out of lydd airport. we've got a call in to the home office. we're waiting for word back from them. confirmation as to whether that's true . but if true, it's that's true. but if true, it's unfortunate. it's potentially , unfortunate. it's potentially, of course, embarrassing. it comes on a day when we're also getting reports that one of the border force vessels , hurricane border force vessels, hurricane thatis border force vessels, hurricane that is catamaran and that works out in the channel to pick up these channel migrant has broken down as well . it's a very busy

down as well. it's a very busy day out there for at least ten boats so far, potentially 11 now more than 500 people in the channel taking advantage of an improvement in weather conditions . and we're told that conditions. and we're told that the rnli are having to sort of step forward and take a lot of the workload . and in trying to the workload. and in trying to pick up these channel migrants a bit embarrassing for the border force and really quite embarrassing for the government today with these figures of the number of people crossing the engush number of people crossing the english channel passing 100,000 on this much heralded stop the boats week , well, this is it. boats week, well, this is it. the focus has been shifted well and truly away from what the government is trying to show in terms of the message that it wants to get across about what they're doing proactively to try to stop the boats and is now focussed firmly on the fact that 100,000 people have now crossed the english channel since 2018.

we've got , i think, the english channel since 2018. we've got, i think, a graphic we can show you as well that illustrate . it's just the very illustrate. it's just the very significant rise in those coming across the channel from 2018. on that first year. it was about 300. and then in the years that followed, it just doubled and tripled to the point last year there was a record figure of just under 46,000. and already this year, despite a really terrible weather, conditions out in the channel, we've had 15,300. and on days like today , 15,300. and on days like today, that's one of the lifeboats in this morning that shows you that they are having to step in and do the work that's normally done by border force picking up these migrants from the small boats and taking them onshore so that on days like today , the numbers on days like today, the numbers surge again in with, as i say, over 500 and between 10 to 11

boats. so far. but the breaking news as i say, is that we're just getting now is about this unmanned manned drone operated out in the efforts to oversee , out in the efforts to oversee, see what's happening in the channel see what's happening in the channel, either by the border force or the coastguard has apparently ditched into the engush apparently ditched into the english channel and we're awaiting confirmation from the home office on that. >> and they are essential to the work that's being done to monitor movements. >> they absolutely are. yeah. there's multiple planes and drones are up every day drones that are up every day trying to keep especially and really busy days like today, trying to keep an eye on where these boats well, i suppose these boats are. well, i suppose some people at home might be thinking, well, they're just watching. >> they're doing anything to intervene. >> well, certainly not doing anything. the bottom anything. now it's at the bottom of drink. of the drink. >> quite. thank you >> well, not quite. thank you very for joining >> well, not quite. thank you very forjoining us. well, very much for joining us. well, with rwanda plan, of course, with the rwanda plan, of course, stuck in the courts, there's talk of the conservative was now campaigning to leave the echr. let's speak to the writer and

academic professor andrew tettenborn for more on this. so good afternoon, professor. there seems to be a perennial battle within the conservative party on some on one side and mps argue that while you're still under the auspices of the echr , you're the auspices of the echr, you're never going to be able to sort of freely move as a government, whereas others would say the echr was part set up by the united kingdom. winston churchill, a founding member of it, and it underpins so many international alliances that we have. >> well, actually, i think the case for leaving it goes stronger by the day . stronger by the day. >> it's absolutely fine to say, okay, we were involved in the drafting of it in 1950, but the convention in 2023. okay. it has the same wording or at least the rights are worded in the same way. but it's a completely different animal because since

about the last 40 years, the convention has been interpreted out of recognition by a very activist human rights court in strasbourg , and it's moved from strasbourg, and it's moved from being a backstop , dealing with being a backstop, dealing with things that no civilised state would ever think of doing. you know, torturing people , knocking know, torturing people, knocking up whole villages at 3:00 in the morning for random searches and so on to, to something like the imposition of a progressive constitution on this country. now so it really isn't the same thing as it was in 1950. and there's something connected with that, which is that with that has come an enormous democratic deficit . let me explain . um, we deficit. let me explain. um, we have to obey judgements of the

european court of human rights. we have to apply human rights, whatever our own electors think . in other words, you get an end run around democracy now! that's absolutely fine when it comes to pulling people's fingernails out , telling sending death squads that state death squads around and that sort of thing . i'm and that sort of thing. i'm absolutely cool with that. but as soon as we have the convention extended much further than that , that what it's doing than that, that what it's doing , of course, is taking out of the control of the british people an awful lot of matters of very important social policy that should be there and putting those matters in the hands of an entirely unaccountable judiciary with no professor with any country at all.

>> can i also just ask you, would the optics, though not look awful if the uk left the echr? because then we'd be out of it just like russia is and like belarus is ? like belarus is? >> that's a very good point, but there's a very simple answer to it , if i may there's a very simple answer to it, if i may say so. you're being very eurocentric . it, if i may say so. you're being very eurocentric. i'm going to give you a comparison in between a number of countries. go out of europe, go to australia , to new zealand and to australia, to new zealand and canada . they are not parties to canada. they are not parties to any regional human rights convention. they clearly aren't parties to the european one, but they're parties to none. okay now go to azerbaijan , which is now go to azerbaijan, which is of course, a member of the european convention on human rights. i don't know about your listeners , but i think if you listeners, but i think if you ask most people which state would they feel freer in new zealand or azerbaijan , iran, zealand or azerbaijan, iran, it's pretty clear what answer

you're going to get . it's pretty clear what answer you're going to get. in it's pretty clear what answer you're going to get . in other you're going to get. in other words, being a member of a convention like the european convention on human rights actually has nothing to do with how decent and liberal a country you are. >> professor, i think you make a compelling case there . i wonder, compelling case there. i wonder, though, when it comes to all of the entanglements that this convention is, it's written into the good friday agreement. it's written in to our trade agreement with the european union. that makes it a union. perhaps that makes it a bit more complicated. i could talk to you all afternoon, but i'm do to move i'm afraid we do have to move on. you very much for your on. thank you very much for your time this afternoon , professor. time this afternoon, professor. >> the police federation for northern ireland says urgent answers are required after details emerged of a second major data leak containing the names of more than 200 serving officers and staff. this comes after the worst security breach in northern ireland's history, where the names and locations of the entire police force were mistakenly put online for three

hours. >> well, earlier we spoke we spoke to former detective inspector william matchett about this breach. >> the police officers are usually overlooked, but the families are instrumental in all this because they're human beings. they go to work. and my experience here of what we call the troubles is a lot of police officers were murdered off duty, as opposed to on duty. so it was as opposed to on duty. so it was a very it's a very intimate form of terrorism . and northern of terrorism. and northern ireland, the describe it, some people call it the north of ireland. it's essentially a big village. you know, it's 3% of the population . it's the size of the population. it's the size of yorkshire. it's not that big. so people do know each other . people do know each other. something like this will have more impact. some police officers will look at it with great trepidation and will be more worried than than other officers . officers. >> well, that was former detective inspector william matchett speaking about the data breach. we can get more from our

northern ireland reporter dougie beattie . hello to you, dougie is beattie. hello to you, dougie is the chief constable simon byrne's position today is under real threat. will he have to go ? well we wouldn't have thought that coming in, but it's the press conference that was due to take place here is now over an hour late. >> that means the question and answer session is still going on.and answer session is still going on. and when he arrived here earlier , the question was thrown earlier, the question was thrown at him, would he have to resign? he said, we'll talk about that later. he is now under pressure that he's never had before . but that he's never had before. but then this is a data breach like no other. and really, when you look at all of this and we spoke to the people they've come to the people as they've come into board here, they're into the board here, they're more concerned about the laptop that back on the that went missing back on the 6th of july because had 200 6th of july because it had 200 names that nobody seems to names on it that nobody seems to know about what sort of information on those officers was actually it and number was actually on. it and number two, are we only finding out two, how are we only finding out about now? the police about it right now? the police federation, of course, are

meeting on this afternoon meeting later on this afternoon and they really will are. and are very angry at the chief constable . i spoke to two of the constable. i spoke to two of the policing board as they came in earlier on. >> lot of questions to be asked , a lot of answers to listen to. what it is clear is that there has been a monumental mistake made here. but this certainly seems to be more than it can't be written off simply as human error. there has been a failure by people, yes, but there's been failure in processes and a failure in processes and a failure by the police and the gravity of the situation is increasing as anxiety increases across police officers and staff and the risk that they face anyway has been heightened . anyway has been heightened. >> i think it's too, too early to call for anyone's resignation. i think we need to hear what is happening today, get all the questions try get all the questions asked, try and some answers. and get some answers. >> failure and process . that's >> failure and process. that's what mark h. durkin's talking about. the process here is rolling on and we will come back

to you with the press conference. well we look forward to it. >> and thank you very much for the very latest. there from northern ireland. >> coming up here on the live desk on gb news, well, it's becoming increasingly unaffordable to buy a house liam halligan will be here to explain how rents are soaring, too. you could well be affected. do get in touch. those rents soaring so much that many students are choosing to live at home. who would want to do that? if you're a student? but first, let's get the weather forecast with alex. >> looks like things are heating up. boxed boilers, proud sponsors of weather on . gb news sponsors of weather on. gb news alex deakin here with your latest weather update from the met office for gb news. >> a warm one today and a dry and a sunny one for most of us as well . we are expecting a bit as well. we are expecting a bit of a change as we head towards the weekend thanks to this low pressure and this cold front which push the warmer which will push away the warmer air. but it's sitting across us

today. it's not gloriously sunny everywhere. a lot of cloud everywhere. quite a lot of cloud this is going to this morning that is going to break little bit more break up a little bit more through day. we will see through the day. we will see some western staying some western areas staying a little misty. and there's the chance heavy showers chance of 1 or 2 heavy showers across wales later the day. across wales later in the day. but places, as i said, but for most places, as i said, dry, and pretty warm , dry, bright and pretty warm, particularly in the sunshine, temperatures for temperatures we've not seen for quite time , mid to maybe quite some time, mid to maybe even high 20s 28, 29 celsius is just about possible. we will start to see a change though, through this evening and overnight. the cloud thickening in the west with some showery rain for southwest rain for wales, southwest england, downpours england, some heavy downpours for crossing through for a time crossing through northern ireland and they will spread during spread across scotland during the early so some heavy the early hours. so some heavy rain likely overnight the rain likely overnight for the south. many places will stay dry. another pretty warm one as well. temperatures holding up 16, 17 c. again temperatures we've not seen for many nights. we'll see that wetter weather lingering in northern scotland first thing on friday. some heavy downpours here that clears away. and then we're left with sunshine and a few showers

scattered mostly across the west. so, again, many places will be dry. not as warm as today, but temperatures in the east could still again get into the mid 20 s . the mid 20 s. >> looks like things are heating up . boxed boilers, proud up. boxed boilers, proud sponsors of weather on .

britain's watching. >> welcome back. you're with the live desk on gb news, the cost of renting will continue to rise in the coming months. that's according to a new survey of letting agents. >> over half of agents reporting said they had seen rent rises dunng said they had seen rent rises during the three months to july. in a survey conducted by the royal institute of chartered surveyors, otherwise known as rics. >> almost two thirds of agents surveyed say rents will rise further over the coming three months. well let's get more on this now with gb news economics and business editor liam halligan who joins us with on the money . and liam, are you the money. and liam, are you surprised by these findings? >> i'm not actually see rental demand is absolutely huge over the last 20 years, we've gone from about 10% of all households being in rented accommodation. >> this is private rented accommodation, not social housing, where you're basically renting off the state. we've gone from about 10% to 20.

>> and in some age groups, particularly 25 to 34 year olds, it's up above 45, almost 50% of people who are renting. and this is interesting survey from rics, very, very authority lviv. >> and let's see what it says. >> and let's see what it says. >> what the survey of letting agents says is that between may and july, 54% of agents said rents rose compared to the same penod rents rose compared to the same period in the previous year, even though there's been a cost of living crisis and even more significantly, i would say the same survey of letting agents by rics says that between august and october, that three month period, you've got 63% predicting a further rent rises. now the average rent in england is 100, is 1360, £67 per month per property . so that may be per property. so that may be split between a family or students renting together , young students renting together, young professionals, whatever it is . professionals, whatever it is. but that's up quite sharply from

. £1,249 per month last september. so there are particular rent hotspots , particular rent hotspots, university towns , london, of university towns, london, of course, but also manchester and newcastle . there are signs of newcastle. there are signs of the rental market getting tighter and tighter as demand increases . liz so even though increases. liz so even though a lot of people renting have had cuts in their real wages, rents are still going up and there's a lot of for competition properties. and is that partly because as landlords are struggling pay their struggling to pay their mortgages so they've had they've got choice or they're having got no choice or they're having to and then there's to sell up and then there's fewer places to rent on the market. >> there are quite a lot of landlords without mortgages because they've been buying, doing rent, to buy let doing buy to rent, to buy let for quite a long time. >> but a lot of buy to let properties themselves properties are themselves mortgaged the mortgage rates mortgaged and the mortgage rates are often higher it's are often higher than if it's your residence . and of your principal residence. and of course they've had increases in their mortgage costs and some of those have been passed, passed on. you know, there are landlords that aren't passing

rents on. they aren't passing higher . the rents on. they aren't passing higher. the aren't increasing rents, even though in many ways the market suggests that they could. there are the landlords who of course are unscrupulous and even if they own the property outright , they're property outright, they're turning the screw on their tenants and increasing rents as much as possibly can. lots much as they possibly can. lots of uncertainty , lots of tax of uncertainty, lots of tax breaks disappearing for landlords, lots of legislation swirling around in this area, even under the tories and under laboun even under the tories and under labour. it would become more punitive for landlords as far as they see. so in all, it's they see. so all in all, it's quite uncertain market and we quite an uncertain market and we must remember a lot of young people rent not just students but young people trying to make their because so hard their way because it is so hard to get on the housing ladder these and that's not just these days. and that's not just a london and south east thing. you back in the early 90 you know, back in the early 90 is over 50% of 25 to year is over 50% of 25 to 34 year olds had their own property, lived their properties , lived in their own properties, and now it's under 30. so that's and now it's under 30. so that's a really significant change. i bought own house in 1999 and bought my own house in 1999 and i was in my early 20s.

>> yeah, i cannot imagine doing that. and when you and i'm so grateful, obviously looking back when you bought that house, pip, the average price of a house across the uk as a whole would have been between four and five times average annual earnings, right in the late in the mid and late 90s was i think i bought it for about 60 odd thousand pounds. yeah >> and you were probably earning that's his reaction the 20 something year you might be earning 60 you might earning about 60 and you might have been about 20,000. have been earning about 20,000. say you're making your in say if you're making your way in journalism time, three say if you're making your way in journayour time, three say if you're making your way in journayour mortgage,|e, three say if you're making your way in journayour mortgage, three ee say if you're making your way in journayour mortgage, three times times your mortgage, three times your annual salary, bob's your uncle. you can get a loan for that. but now, rather than 4 or 5 times average annual earnings, the average house across the uk costs more like 8 to 9 times. so even if there are two of you and you can only get three times your earnings each, that's only six times. so you're not going to make it. and of course that's a national average. london and the south—east, the average house is 12, 15. some districts,

not particularly in the midlands for me, 20 times average earnings. >> we need to just bring in liam alexander rodriguez. she's a teacher who was forced to move after her rent went up by almost 500 smackers. pennies. that is a lot. good afternoon to you. i mean , no wonder you were forced mean, no wonder you were forced to move . that must have been to move. that must have been a shocker. i mean, did you try to negotiate at all with your landlord ? landlord? >> good afternoon. um no, there wasn't any possibility of negotiating anything with him. >> um, we received the. >> um, we received the. >> we received the eviction nofice >> we received the eviction notice before for the landlord . notice before for the landlord. um, contacted us that if we wanted to stay, we had to pay nearly £500 more per calendar month . so there wasn't any month. so there wasn't any possibility of negotiating anything at this case. >> it's such a landlords market,

isuppose >> it's such a landlords market, i suppose there are so many more people who want to rent properties than there are properties than there are properties available . this is properties available. this is such a common story. people having to move out of the centre , they're having to move to smaller places . i suppose you're smaller places. i suppose you're not alone amongst your peer group, no , no, no. group, no, no, no. >> and also , um, many people i >> and also, um, many people i know that are also renting , they know that are also renting, they are all moving further from the centre. um, so , so, so it's centre. um, so, so, so it's something that we see more frequently and, and well, i guess that it's going to be even, even worse now that we hear that in the coming three months possible that the rents are going to go up even further i >> alexandra have you found somewhere, are you settled somewhere, are you settled somewhere somewhere else ? somewhere somewhere else? >> yes. at the moment i am. um it's, um, it's a similar property to the ones i had, the one i had before for a two bedroom house. and it's the it's a bit further from , from the

a bit further from, from the centre because i lived in central london. but, but yes i've been lacking for now. um but it's the, the threat of, of facing eviction is still there. >> yes. well i do hope, alexandra, that you do get a bit of stability now , at least for of stability now, at least for a good while yet . thank you ever good while yet. thank you ever so much for talking to us about that here on gb news. now let's get all your headlines. >> good afternoon. it's 134. get all your headlines. >> good afternoon. it's134. i'm >> good afternoon. it's 134. i'm rhiannon jones in the newsroom . rhiannon jones in the newsroom. i'm gb news. can reveal a 100,000 migrants have now crossed the channel. that's since records began in 2018. the landmark figure was reached as another 400 people crossed the nato small boats . today, the nato small boats. today, the arrivals are the first since saturday as bad weather made

coyte to do that. who is our resident sports broadcaster? paul just put put me right here. what is it? and postecoglou. >> he's an australian . ange postecoglou. >> so , so, so, yeah, it's as. >> so, so, so, yeah, it's as. >>— >> so, so, so, yeah, it's as. >> there you go. it's a pleasure . i will test you on that a little bit later. >> but as far as harry kane is concerned, there's been talk about this for so long that maybe bayern munich would be where he would end up now. he's been at spurs since he was a kid i >> -- >> he's obviously cost tottenham hotspur nothing, but he's become an absolute hero and probably, well , without doubt, one of the well, without doubt, one of the greatest players that spurs have even greatest players that spurs have ever, ever produced. and he's the record scoring goal scorer for tottenham. so where we are at the moment is the talks that are coming , words that are are coming, words that are coming out of germany now , coming out of germany now, whether i actually trust this being a spurs fan is making me think, well, maybe i don't believe it. >> maybe i don't want to believe it. >> it's that it.— >> it's that ,100 it. >> it's that ,100 million. this is the deal. and as you

mentioned, it's going to be a lot of money. he's going to earn. but the thing he only earn. but the thing is, he only has year left on his has one year left on his contract at tottenham hotspur. so either to bayern so he either goes to bayern munich now or he waits and see how things are going with the new manager, are new manager, because there are a lot changes and hopeful lot of changes and be hopeful that will change at spurs that things will change at spurs because there's this constant talk around harry kane. what is he doing at spurs? >> he needs to win trophies. a player that's as good as him and he stuck around for a long time. >> but does he stick or twist? does to bayern munich or does he go to bayern munich or does wait until the end of does he wait until the end of the end of the east contract, which will be at the end the which will be at the end of the summer? and he could move summer? and then he could move on a free and earn whatever he wants. it's up to him, wants. so it's up to him, basically. it's to him basically. pip it's up to him whether decides to it whether he decides to go. it seems spurs said yes seems that spurs have said yes to million, but now it's to ,100 million, but now it's down the what is he down to the player. what is he going do? and it's a very going to do? and it's a very tncky going to do? and it's a very tricky decision to make. >> tricky, but got to be sorted out fast, hasn't it? because the premier league campaign starts for on sunday when for tottenham on sunday when they're away to

they're playing away to brentford they're playing away to bre that's right. >> that's right. >> that's right. >> also there's the problem >> and also there's the problem that spurs would have this rachel ayers son who could play up what is the up front. and then what is the situation? with situation? what happens with that ,100 million? >> does invested? >> does that get invested? >> does that get invested? >> a of >> but then there's a matter of looking for a new player and the way that football seems to go is that will that you get teams that will think, you're pretty cash, think, oh, you're pretty cash, cash rich. now we can now charge a for our player if a lot more for our player if that's who want. so where we that's who you want. so where we are the then it's are at the moment, then it's pretty much down to harry. i've heard rumours that family are there, speaking there, agents are there speaking to bayern munich, but it's whether agrees go the whether he agrees to go with the deal whether he agrees to go with the deal, know it seems deal, which you know it seems pretty but also to go pretty lucrative. but also to go over to germany, you're going to be the bundesliga. be playing in the bundesliga. it's as the premier it's not as good as the premier league. they'll probably league. yes, they'll probably win that league, but is that the medal to go for? medal that he wants to go for? and there's no guarantees that he's going the champions he's going to win the champions league he's going to win the champions lea soe he's going to win the champions leaso it's a very tricky he's going to win the champions lea so it's a very tricky so he's going to win the champions leaso it's a very tricky so in >> so it's a very tricky so in my opinion, harry, stay where you are. >> sure he will be listening >> i'm sure he will be listening to you. paul thank you. >> sure he will. always >> i'm sure he will. he always does. you. thanks no does. thank you. thanks no doubt. a slightly doubt. a slight a slightly biased, perhaps hope there from

our spurs supporters. slightly only. only a very little bit . only. only a very little bit. paul only. only a very little bit. paul, thank you. yeah. yeah >> well, now to a gb news exclusive. an nhs imam has been filmed saying he was very impressed by the taliban rule in afghanistan in an interview with the taliban state owned tv channel, suliman ghani praised the taliban government . the taliban government. >> this is my second visit and for me it's very, very special now that there is a new government in place. i think the afghan what we have witnessed, the different ministers, the organisation, the experience, the mistakes that they had learned from previously, i think many of those have been addressed and now we see things are in the right direction. so we're really concerning stuff. >> well, last week we exposed ghanps >> well, last week we exposed ghani's visit to afghanistan, where he met with taliban ministers . where he met with taliban ministers. but where he met with taliban ministers . but experts are now ministers. but experts are now claiming he risks becoming a proper gander tool. let's speak now to gb news investigates. reporter charlie peters, who joins us in the studio. and this

is incredibly concerning footage. it is quite remarkable stuff . but when we exposed last stuff. but when we exposed last week that he'd met with the taliban's ministers in kabul, what he described as a fact finding dialogue and humanitarian visit with a charity , the afghan supreme charity, the afghan supreme court actually released a statement last week saying that the british delegation that mr ghaniand the british delegation that mr ghani and nhs chaplain was a part of was impressed by what they saw in kabul. >> it said that they wanted to see the islamic emirate of afghanistan sustained and prosper as a sharia based system. they saw it as a role model. when we went to the delegation and mr ghani, they did not distance themselves from these comments . these comments. >> take it as true what >> so we take it as true what the afghan supreme court reported, now week, reported, but now this week, we've uncovered footage , as we've uncovered more footage, as you've of mr ghani you've just seen, of mr ghani himself directly praising the taliban and the afghan government . what we didn't see government. what we didn't see that he actually not only did he say taliban were going say that the taliban were going in the right direction, he said that they were prospering and it was great example. that they were prospering and it was gihe: example. that they were prospering and it was gihe was mple. that they were prospering and it was gihe was very. that they were prospering and it was gihe was very impressed by >> and he was very impressed by his visit.

his very special visit. >> different is >> charlie, how different is this what tobias ellwood did? >> the senior tory mp , he he >> the senior tory mp, he he posted a video in which he said afghanistan been transformed afghanistan had been transformed under the taliban. he then said he regret for those he expressed regret for those comments . but how different is comments. but how different is thiswell, i mean, not for me >> well, i mean, it's not for me to give an opinion, i mean, to give an opinion, but i mean, just it as is, it just observing it as it is, it seems very, very similar. just observing it as it is, it see i |s very, very similar. just observing it as it is, it see i |s very, mry similar. just observing it as it is, it see i |s very, mr ellwood r. just observing it as it is, it see i |s very, mr ellwood described >> i mean, mr ellwood described the difference of afghanistan under the taliban as game changing in that video . he then changing in that video. he then retracted his comments after an enormous amount of opprobrium andindeed enormous amount of opprobrium and indeed calls for him to lose his position as a as a common select committee chair and indeed know, haven't indeed, you know, we haven't cupped indeed, you know, we haven't clipped members of that clipped it, but members of that delegation referred to delegation actually referred to mr elle edwards visit positively in their own trip and in their conversation state in in conversation with state tv in in kabul conversation with state tv in in kabul. they said that, you know, mr ellwood was doing the right thing by engaging in dialogue between the united kingdom and afghanistan . on and so actually afghanistan. on and so actually , experts i spoke to when they when they referred to this incident, they said that mr ellwood was being a useful idiot

for the taliban and that mr ghaniand for the taliban and that mr ghani and his delegation of british imams were being used as propaganda tools by the taliban to build on that earlier development with mr ellwood. >> let's not forget what the taliban doing afghanistan, taliban is doing in afghanistan, recognised as a recognised by many as a terrorist organisation and forbidding girls from getting education overseas . thing the education overseas. thing the most horrendous sort of purges against what they might term as infidels or people who worked with the british and the americans , but also poverty , americans, but also poverty, extreme poverty. now in that country, people starving to death. what does this say about the nhs that it would hire someone who praises such a regime? >> mr ghani says that afghanistan is prospering . afghanistan is prospering. >> 97% of its population is in poverty . as of the most recent poverty. as of the most recent statistics, amnesty international is reporting widespread public flogging, extrajudicial executions, the detention of political opponents, if that's what the nhs representative of it is describing as prospering, i'd hate to see what struggling

looks like. >> okay, charlie, thank you. and interestingly, this all comes today as gordon brown, the former british prime minister. he has said that taliban's treatment and girls in treatment of women and girls in afghanistan a crime against afghanistan is a crime against humanity . humanity. >> well, lots to get, lots to digest there. but it's your first chance today to find a piece of history in your change. in other news, slightly lighter topic. 5 million coins have been minted, marking the king's coronation. there entering circulation today . here are some circulation today. here are some of them , like blue peter. of them, like blue peter. >> this special coins will feature westminster abbey on the reverse and a portrait of the king on the front. joining us now is mark loveridge, director of currency at the royal mint . of currency at the royal mint. how many people are going to get these to start with then? they seem really precious and really very shiny . very shiny. >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> so they'll be entering banks and post offices across the uk today. >> so as early as you know, this

morning when i was out looking with my daughter. so if you're out shopping, you might find them in your change. >> this is a very exciting thing, a piece of history, i suppose. thing, a piece of history, i suppose . but these aren't the suppose. but these aren't the first coins that have been minted with king's face on minted with the king's face on them. this is the sort of second tranche which. >> yeah, absolutely . >> yeah, absolutely. >> yeah, absolutely. >> so last year, the first coin to enter circulation with king charles's effigy was the memorial coin for queen elizabeth. >> and this is the first one of 2023. and this is marking the coronation. >> of course, the coronation >> of course, the coronation >> it's probably the first time many people have seen in 70 years of history and quite importantly, actually , it's only importantly, actually, it's only the second monarch to show on this new coinage. if you think back to pre—decimalisation , back to pre—decimalisation, there were probably 4 or 5 different monarchs in circulation on coins at that time. this is the first time we've started to see a change in the uk and we're 27 billion coins already out there with queen elizabeth. the second on, it'll be really interesting to start to see king charles in

your change. >> it is remarkable looking at the sort of of coinage the sort of history of coinage in united kingdom. i'm not in the united kingdom. i'm not quite sure when the royal mint was founded, but we have had coins with the face of the monarch on them for over a thousand years and absolutely right. >> so the royal mint were established over 1100 years ago and we've been making monarchs and we've been making monarchs and coins for monarchs since alfred the great. so there's a lot of history across the mint and technology as you would imagine, is developed over that time as we've been able to come more creative with the way that we've developed those coins , we've developed those coins, which built a really which has built a really interesting collector market, both in the uk and internationally. and the change internationally. and the change in monarch has really opened that up we're selling coins that up and we're selling coins into about 89 different countries and have welcomed countries now and have welcomed tens of thousands of new customers to royal mint over customers to the royal mint over the months. the last 12 months. >> so mark, all this talk about about these these new king's coins must mean that you would support gb news don't kill cash

campaign , wouldn't you? you campaign, wouldn't you? you don't want us to move to a cashless society. obviously personally , i use cash quite personally, i use cash quite a bit and i think cash is an important financial instrument. >> we understand that payment habhs >> we understand that payment habits are changing and i'm quite agnostic as to the choice that people have in terms of what they want to do with their cash and how they want to spend. but certainly i personally a but certainly i personally see a lot in cash. and lot of value in cash. and i think regardless of how much cash is used, coins will always be important for people, be really important for people, and especially role and especially what the role that play that the royal mint play in marking those moments marking those key moments in history . history. >> well, mark loveridge, thank you much taking us you so much for taking us through this special special edition of new coins coming out with the with the king's face on them. thank you very much for being with us here on gb news this afternoon. >> the face, which is the >> the king's face, which is the other switch the other way from the facing. which the queen's not facing. which way is it? >> gm- e is he w— e is he facing? he's >> which way is he facing? he's facing to his he's facing towards his right. to his right. whereas queen the whereas the queen faced to the left. but apparently they swap every they face one every new monarch they face one way, swapped

that of alongside that kind of solution alongside tackling the backlog in the asylum immigration system, asylum and immigration system, which is out of control, which we know is out of control, which we know is out of control, which know causing the which we know is causing the government use expensive government to use expensive hotels and other hotels and barges and other forms of accommodation . we need forms of accommodation. we need that plan to get on top of the situation because frankly, the conservatives have presided over 13 years on this and 13 years of failure on this and they've this chaos which they've created this chaos which now be fixed. 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. that's the highest number since records beganin highest number since records began in two thousand and seven and up 7.5 from 7.5 million in may. cutting, waiting lists is another of rishi sunaks key priorities for 2023. shadow health secretary wes streeting says the government hasn't done enough to help improve the situation . situation. >> there's no doubt that the strikes we're seeing in the nhs are seeing huge numbers of

100,000 migrants have now crossed the english channel illegally since 2018. >> the milestone was reached after a further 400 people arrived in dover earlier today . arrived in dover earlier today. that takes the figure this year to over 15,300. so far, the news will come as a huge blow to rishi sunak, who had made stopping the boats one of his government's five main priorities and has reinvigorated the debate about britain's place in the european convention on human rights. >> with a third of cabinet ministers now said to be pushing for the uk to quit the echr if the rwanda plan is blocked in the rwanda plan is blocked in the courts . the courts. >> gb news has been getting reaction to this throughout the day. here are some of the views we've been hearing . we've been hearing. >> it makes me angry, martin, because the rest of parliament, the labour, the snp and the others continually voted against this. the lords have voted against it. and, you know, you see in my comments earlier this week, the vast majority of the of the people in this country seem to agree with what what

myself is and what myself is saying and what government's so government's trying to do. so yes, it's infuriating , but we're yes, it's infuriating, but we're the only party that sort the only party that can sort this . this out. >> we have as yet failed to solve the problem . well, that's solve the problem. well, that's self—evident, but i don't think it's through lack of trying by the government. everybody can see the problem. not everybody's got a solution. at least one that the court will accept . and 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 illegally, you'll be sent back home. if that's possible. >> frankly, the conservative have presided over 13 years of failure on this, and they've created this chaos which now needs be fixed out. well we needs to be fixed out. well we are joined once again by gb news home and security editor mark white. >> a busy day on the english channel today in all sorts of ways, not just rescues, but also this unmanned drone going down. yeah, i mean, really busy out there. >> last reports are about 11 small boats that have been intercepted now with well over 500 people on board that drone

that apparently has crashed into the english channel was operating out of lydd airport in kent. operating out of lydd airport in kent . so there are a operating out of lydd airport in kent. so there are a number of drones and other air assets that are operated by border force and the coastguard to give them eyes in the to sky see what is happening in the channel to know where the boats are that they can go intercept and pick up those migrants. apparently, according to the a source that we have that's out there at the moment on a boat in the middle of the english channel is confirmed that this boat has come down. we're still waiting on the home office to confirm that that particular incident . that that particular incident. but another incident that this source reported is that one of the border force vessels catamaran, that is used to pick up the migrants and take them back to kent also broke down. lifeboats were having to step in

and do a lot of the work that border force vessels were doing as well as responding to incidents of was this incident . incidents of was this incident. at around about 9:00 this morning that put several rnli boats attended near dungeness with reports of a number of migrants in the water. and as we reported at the time, earlier this morning, they were all safely accounted for and brought ashore. >> mark, i suppose some people sitting at home watching this will be thinking, hang on, on the one hand, the government is trying to do all this deterrent stuff, whether it's with floating barges or the stuttering rwanda scheme, but on the other hand, they have all of this the art this state of the art technology, whether it's drones to track boats or boats to track boats across or boats indeed to pick those and indeed to pick up those and almost as like a taxi almost act as like a taxi service bringing migrants from the middle of the channel over to the uk. it seems like an incredibly mixed message. >> yeah, i mean, in terms of obviously the technology they

have to hand , that is only have to hand, that is only technology that is kind of deaung technology that is kind of dealing with with the fact that the government has so far been unable to actually stop the boats coming . and, you know, one boats coming. and, you know, one of the things that they want to do, to be fair to the government, is to try to take the fight to the people smugglers. and that's why we were hearing about that more investment in law enforcement agencies in turkey to help go after those that are channelling migrants through that country . migrants through that country. but also the fact that a lot of the boats are made to order in turkey. some component parts come for china from china, such as the outboard motors, but they are assembled to a degree in turkey and then they're shipped over to countries like germany . over to countries like germany. there's also been increased cooperation between the uk and german law enforcement agencies. so they are trying to do some

things on the you know, on the side of going after the people smugglers to try to stop it in the first place. but it's difficult to do because it's now such a well organised in industry that the people smuggling industry with these people traffickers who are making from . between 100 and making from. between 100 and 50,000 to $250,000 for each boat because it's costing someone who wants to go on a boat across the channel between 3 and £5000. there are getting at least 50 people on these vessels . it's people on these vessels. it's a very lucrative industry. it's like the drugs trade. you know, the war on drugs is never ending. they can have some success is, but it's just such a lucrative industry that the criminal gangs will always find a way through if one raid results in a particular ring being smashed and all these boats recovered , then another boats recovered, then another ring will pop up and take over the work that they've got. >> but i mean the labour, the

opposition is very clear that the government is not doing enough to tackle all this at source. they're focussed on these grubby headlines, these gimmicky, gimmicky headlines such as barges and tents for people, but they're not tackling the cause of it. >> well, i know that labour say they want to create a specialist unit within the national crime agency and give that agency more money. the government are doing that. they have given the nca more resources . clearly labour more resources. clearly labour feel that's not enough and they want to give the nca even more in the way of resources to be able to take the fight to the people traffickers. it will have some effect , there's no doubt, some effect, there's no doubt, because we have noticed that in the past when they have very significant raids that smash a particular people smuggling operation , in that actually the operation, in that actually the number of small boats coming across the channel for a few weeks or a month or so does reduce. but because they're so

well organised, because it's so lucrative, it doesn't take them long to find a way through it. and to source another supplier for their boats. >> okay, mark white, thank you very much for now . the police very much for now. the police federation for northern ireland says urgent answers are required after details emerged of a second major data leak containing the names of more than 200 serving officers and staff . now, this comes after the staff. now, this comes after the worst security breach in northern ireland's history , northern ireland's history, where the names and locations of the entire police force were mistakenly put online for three hours as well. >> let's find out more now from our northern ireland reporter dougie beattie. good afternoon . dougie beattie. good afternoon. dougie beattie. good afternoon. dougie has what has this meeting actually revealed today ? actually revealed today? >> well, as yet , still don't >> well, as yet, still don't know because apparently it's only breaking up as we are coming on air. we don't know what was discussed, but we could imagine that the chief constable must still be in place. there is a press conference due very,

very shortly . that was due very shortly. that was due actually a 12:15. and you see the time now. it means that he has been grilled. and as i suspected, i very much thought that he would probably stay in place because politicians want to see some sort of investigation into his exactly what went on. and i would imagine that that will probably have been the 19 members on that board will have done that to the main issue of what went on, especially around the laptop, the laptop that was lost on the 6th of july, only revealed yesterday with 200 names on it. and we don't know as yet what the detail of that was. but really this grilling to the police board was expected to end just at about well , the press just at about well, the press conference about five minutes from now. and that's why i'm sort of looking to my left and watching to see is that going to happen. watching to see is that going to happen . but as i say, the word happen. but as i say, the word coming out of there at the moment is that the chief constable is still in place . constable is still in place. >> okay. dougie beattie thank

you. that that took you. that that meeting took place for nearly four hours behind closed doors. we are expecting to hear from simon byrne, northern ireland chief constable very shortly and we will bring you that here on gb news. >> but for now let's join the former head of organised crime at the psni, roy mccomb, and roy , are you surprised that perhaps this meeting today ran for longer than people were anticipating ? anticipating? >> no, not at all. >> no, not at all. >> i think we have to recognise that this is probably the largest data breach in the uk policing history and there will be significant questions that the policing board will want to have answers from the chief constable and they will want to have reassurance as to how these breaches have happened and what steps are going to be taken to both remedy any possible future breach and also to reassure both the serving members of the police service, including police staff, but also the public who will be rightly thinking that their police service have failed them. >> on this occasion is the chief

constable's position in secure, do you think , because there are do you think, because there are people that absolutely want him to go ? yes. i don't think the to go? yes. i don't think the chief constable's position is in doubt at this point. >> it appears that these particular events have happened, both isolated , one from each both isolated, one from each other and have taken place at a relatively junior rank within the organisation. now, the chief constable is vicariously liable for all actions within the police service , so ultimately police service, so ultimately the buck stops with him. but i think what we are now looking for a strong leadership from for is a strong leadership from the chief constable to say that on his watch he will put something right, he will resolve this , he will bring this matter, he will bring resolution it and he will resolution to it and he will bnng resolution to it and he will bring the answers the bring the answers and the reassurance that public and reassurance that the public and his organisation wishes. his own organisation wishes. >> possibly could be done >> what possibly could be done to put things right? has the damage in both of these cases not already been done ? not already been done? >> well, i think the damage has been done in respect of these particular breaches. >> but what i think the major

breach, the first one that was reported when all of the names have been released , shows that have been released, shows that there are structural and corporate problems in which that should never have happened. >> it should never have been as easy for person or perhaps easy for one person or perhaps two people. >> we don't know the details to simply release the entire database of the organisation in the way it has been done. the way that it has been done. so clearly structural so there are clearly structural problems have to be problems that have to be addressed and i would be looking for chief constable for the chief constable to first of the gap to make sure of all plug the gap to make sure that that doesn't happen again. and thing is there and the second thing is there was reassure chance for was about reassure chance for those who feel that those officers who feel that their details have been compromised point that compromised to a point that their personal now at their personal safety is now at risk and it is for the chief constable to provide all of the reassurance and all of the physical intelligence physical and intelligence response to that to make sure that those officers feel safe andindeed that those officers feel safe and indeed are safe. >> roy would there be a case for compensation for these officers? because number of them, we because a number of them, we understand , are considering understand, are considering leaving the force . they are so leaving the force. they are so

scared . you have to look at the scared. you have to look at the extreme options where people are serving and very sensitive positions, where their identity is not supposed to be revealed. >> they're working with the intelligence agencies , they're intelligence agencies, they're working with m15. they're working with m15. they're working handling intelligence soufces. >> sources. >> they're dealing with in undercover roles . they're undercover roles. they're deaung undercover roles. they're dealing with the most sensitive roles within policing. >> their details were not supposed to be put out into the pubuc supposed to be put out into the public domain. they have, as a consequence of these releases being compromised. >> so they would be well within their their their rights to consider their legal position. >> it may well be the case >> so it may well be the case that in future, police that in the future, police service ireland will service of northern ireland will face not one but multiple, if not thousands of legal cases which could have a considerable financial impact as well as any financial impact as well as any financial penalty that the information commissioner's office might bring against them for breaching the one of the guiding principles of data protection . protection. >> well, roy mccomb, thank you so much for your analysis there and insight into what's been going on in a really torrid few

days for the police service in northern ireland. >> still to come on gb news, we'll be bringing you the very latest on that mysterious fire at britain's wonkiest pub or what was britain's swankiest pub because it has been razed to the ground. the latest details on that and much more coming very shortly . shortly. >> that warm feeling inside from the boxt boilers. proud sponsors of weather on . gb news alex of weather on. gb news alex deakin here with your latest weather update from the met office for gb news. >> a warm one today and a dry and a sunny one for most of us as well. we are expecting a bit of a change as we head towards the weekend thanks to this low pressure and this cold front which will push away the warmer air. it's sitting across us air. but it's sitting across us today. sunny today. it's not gloriously sunny everywhere. lot of cloud everywhere. quite a lot of cloud this . and that going this morning. and that is going to a little bit more to break up a little bit more through the day. we will see some western areas staying a little and there's little misty and there's the

7:00 this evening. gb news is the people's . channel we . the people's. channel we. >> welcome back to the live desk here on news now the future of the british volt gigafactory in northumberland is in jeopardy once again . and this as their

once again. and this as their australian buyer recharge industries misses its deadline for paying up . for paying up. >> this comes as the former boss of the gigafactory criticises the government as electric vehicle strategy, saying it lacks innovative thinking and a joined up industrial strategy . joined up industrial strategy. >> be well gb news economics and business editor liam halligan joins us now with on the money . joins us now with on the money. liam wasn't this gigafactory is supposed to be saved so look gigafactories what are they they are the factories where they make the batteries for electric vehicles or evs . vehicles or evs. >> and the notion is that unless we build the batteries in this country, we're not going to build the cars in this country because the batteries are very, very heavy, expensive to transport short. so where you build the batteries is where you end the cars. so end up building the cars. so gigafactories are seen as absolutely vital to the future of the british car making industry, which still employs obviously thousands of

obviously tens of thousands of people of biggest people. one of our biggest export sectors , massively export sectors, massively important midlands , to important to the midlands, to the north—east and other parts of country. and actually of the country. and i actually went up to blythe, the port of blythe in northumberland and just inland from blythe is the small town of camus we're seeing here some shots of that site in camus. it's seen as an absolute perfect for a gigafactory. you've got car making in the north—east, obviously you've got generations of people who live in that part of the country who are mechanically very adept. you've got the deepwater port of blyth. you see here the computer generated images, and it was meant to be all tickety boo all happening. the government put up a couple of hundred million quid in grant for as long as the private sector matched that investment. but it's been really hard to get the private sector to actually match that investment. let's have a look at some of the little details here. so the britishvolt gigafactory, it was planned as a 1.3, a £38 billion plant. it was going to

be our biggest gigafactory. you've only got one giga factory at the moment in the uk, by the way. it was to be built in camus, near blyth in northumberland. as i said, it actually into actually went into administration in january , but administration in january, but then there was a white knight in then there was a white knight in the form of the australian firm recharge, which was going to invest site, buying invest in the site, but buying it administrators e.y it from the administrators e.y but recharge of reportedly missed their payment deadline. now e.y tell us that the deal is still on. but in the middle of all this, as the government seems to be moving away from some of its green pledges, a lot of people who've been trying to raise money in this sector here are starting lash out at are starting to lash out at number 10. and here we have arye nadjari. was the founder and nadjari. he was the founder and the former ceo of britishvolt. and is what he said to the and this is what he said to the papers britishvolt papers overnight. britishvolt has into a story that's has turned into a story that's difficult comprehend difficult to comprehend from one of biggest positive of the biggest and most positive battery narratives in the uk to a basket case. words as a basket case. strong words as the saga at britishvolt continues more comedies of errors out at number 10, errors play out at number 10, he's off rishi sunak christmas

card list. and right now we need real leadership. get this rather than a squabble to grab fringe votes . what's actually happening votes. what's actually happening here? look, i have no reason to think that recharge aren't going to come up with the money. so let's just i have no reason to think that this factory isn't going to be built. but but but but even though tata just invested in a gigafactory invested in a new gigafactory three bridgwater in in three in bridgwater in in somerset , three in bridgwater in in somerset, near to the three in bridgwater in in somerset , near to the hinckley somerset, near to the hinckley power point, we were reporting that just a couple of weeks ago, weren't we, the government had to come up with tens of billions of subsidy for that of pounds in subsidy for that and there is a growing sense among investors whisper it is this electric vehicle revolution really all it's cracked up to be? should we be putting lots of money into this? will the deadune money into this? will the deadline of 2030 before we get the ban on new petrol and diesel cars, will that actually stick ? cars, will that actually stick? will it, to coin a phrase, hold the road politically or will it slip to 2035? well, other

technologies come to the fore. hydrogen technology, for instance. will the national grid be able to cope with all these? >> don't we need more gigafactories if we're going to make that target? >> that's the idea . yeah. we >> that's the idea. yeah. we need like 5 or 10 gigafactories we got one. we got one that works at the moment in the north—east right? owned by the chinese. right. we've got another one apparent that's going happen in the west going to happen in the west country owned tata or mostly country owned by tata or mostly owned tata. of course , are owned by tata. of course, are from got this other from india. we've got this other one up in the northeast that camus which is which is which is a site, but only one physically exists at the moment . exists at the moment. >> and we've got and we've got obfuscation in government unclear whereas unclear direction, whereas the eu are going hell for eu and the us are going hell for leather for this stuff. >> well, they are. but >> they are. well, they are. but on other hand the eu, driven on the other hand the eu, driven by the german car industry, massively influential across the world in the eu, they've world and in the eu, they've pushed the deadline on for banning new petrol and diesel cars back to 2035. interesting. and yet they've still got the investment. now, i asked the prime about this prime minister about this specifically i interviewed

been made. >> well, the former met police detective peter bleksley told us earlier that the police and retailers in shopping districts have to take a firmer stance on shoplifting . shoplifting. >> i think there's a very serious note here, though, for retailers and the police, particularly those retailers that have a non—intervention policy, which basically creates a shoplifters charter where people can just walk into shops, help themselves and walk out completely unmolested . and that completely unmolested. and that has got to stop their cowardly these policies. and when you appease people, when you allow this kind of blatant, appease people, when you allow this kind of blatant , flagrant this kind of blatant, flagrant shoplifting , which happens the shoplifting, which happens the length and breadth of the country, he then of course, what happens, it escalates. it empowers these these law breakers , these hooligans, these breakers, these hooligans, these people who have no respect for law and order. and so there needs to be a very robust approach . approach. >> just a quick bit of news on england women's world football,

lauren james has been handed a two match ban following her red card in england's world cup win over nigeria. card in england's world cup win over nigeria . the fa has imposed over nigeria. the fa has imposed that suspension following, they say , a violation of article 14 say, a violation of article 14 of the fifa disciplinary code. but it does mean that she will be available for the tournament final if england gets that far, which we will know perhaps how far they're getting this weekend. when they play on saturday. >> well, fingers crossed. but in other news, police have confirmed that a fire which broke out at britain's wonkiest pub is being treated now as arson. >> the crooked house mysteriously caught fire on saturday night a few days before it was scheduled for demolition .then it was scheduled for demolition . then police say their investigations are ongoing, but that the blaze that engulfed the historic establishment was suspicious. well, let's speak to one of the patrons of the crooked house, paul turner, about how residents are feeling today. >> and paul, thank you for making the time for us this afternoon. this was such an iconic pub and i think the whole

country has been a little bit taken aback by what has happened in the last few days. >> yeah . can i just correct you >> yeah. can i just correct you and say that i'm not a patron of the crooked house? i'm actually the crooked house? i'm actually the person who set up the petition, so i'm a local resident and have been appealing for to sign petition to for people to sign a petition to say was initially to save the pub . pub. >> um, the problem was that then the pub burnt down and then it was demolished . so we're now was demolished. so we're now deaung was demolished. so we're now dealing with a pile of bricks from the initial campaign, which was, which was a full and, and possibly workable pub and the issue, the sorry , no, sorry, paul >>i paul >> i was just going to say, the issue here is that part of the, the pub burned down on saturday and permission was never given was it, for it to be demolished ? >> but 7- >> but no, ?_ >> but no, i ? >> but no, i mean, so the council have made a statement

saying that there was a small part of the front elevation of the building which they believed could be unsafe and might fall on somebody. so they said that that piece ought to be removed. and unfortunately , what happened and unfortunately, what happened was the diggers moved in or the digger moved in and demolished the whole building . so it's the whole building. so it's completely flattened , which was completely flattened, which was never what the council told them they could do . they could do. >> and i suppose it's only people that live nearby who know how special this pub was. but we saw earlier this week how people have been leaving flowers. they've even been going into the rubble and taking souvenirs. is that right? and have you done that right? and have you done that ? that? >> no, no, i haven't. i've actually put a message on the facebook group asking people not to do that because if the intention is to try and build something back up from what's left, we don't really need people taking away that people taking away bricks that could potentially end up sitting in corner of a garage in the corner of a garage covered in cobwebs and never looked at again . that doesn't looked at again. that doesn't make any sense. it's worth far

more value at the site so that we can what's going to be we can see what's going to be possible terms of rebuilding possible in terms of rebuilding i >> -- >> and paul, just finally, how is your petition going? what sort of traction have you been able to get amongst people who live in the local area ? live in the local area? >> well, it's not just people in the local area. there are actually people because this is the sort of place that people don't go there a local pub. don't go there as a local pub. it's the sort place that it's the sort of place that everybody goes a lot of everybody goes to. a lot of people go to once in their life. it's um, it's a tourist attraction. so what's attraction. and so what's happenedis attraction. and so what's happened is that people have , happened is that people have, you know, sort of come from miles around and and miles around and seen it. and those are people so people those are the people so people from over the country and from all over the country and even the country are even outside the country are signing petition . there are signing the petition. there are almost 15,000 names now on the petition , but we've had to petition, but we've had to change the purpose of the petition. first of all, we had a pub that was there and we were trying to save it. then we had a burnt out shell, which was just a walls that we were trying to and you know, try and find a way

that could get that sort of that we could get that sort of restored. and then we had this pile of bricks that you see now it's an absolute tragedy and people are very, very upset. this is something that isn't really owned by any particular person or although people own it. people come in and there's been various owners over the years. it's one of those things. it's a community. it's a community asset, and it's been there since 1765. and people have been visiting it for many, many years as a pub. and the people who own it at each point in time are only borrowing it and then it goes to somebody else. but we thought we thought it'd be there forever. >> paul because it was crooked . >> paul because it was crooked. and when you used to go in there to have a pint, did you sort of go in the door and already feel drunk? >> well, one door, yeah, one door was leaning that way, the other door was leaning that way. the in of it. so the door in front of it. so there two doors as you there were two doors as you walked in. um, and then you had

the, the floor was sort of uneven. the tables were uneven . uneven. the tables were uneven. and there were there was a ledge on the wall that you could put a ball bearing on. and it looked like it was rolling uphill. fabulous it was a table that you could put a bottle on and the table it looked like it was rolling uphill. the bottle would so everything. and then there was was a grandfather was a there was a grandfather clock , which was which was clock, which was which was standing actually terms of standing actually in terms of the level of the ground. it was actually standing straight. but because walls , it looked because of the walls, it looked like it was standing like that . like it was standing like that. so it was a very , very so it was it was a very, very interesting and very unique and strange experience. and i mean , strange experience. and i mean, i started going there. i went there the first time. i was about six years old with my parents and saw this funny building and laughed at it. we used down on our bikes and used to go down on our bikes and the would show the the landlord would show us the marble ledge and marble rolling up the ledge and then as adult, i then and then as an adult, i started, you know, you sort of when came other when visitors came from other parts country, it would parts of the country, it would be one of the places that you'd take see, because it was take them to see, because it was just so interesting and so and

so. 50. >> so. >> isn't it just awful how it has survived for all these years? you know, with that subsidence then it only took subsidence and then it only took a minutes for to a matter of minutes for it to burn to ground . and paul, burn to the ground. and paul, we'll leave there. so we'll have to leave it there. so sorry hear about it all, but sorry to hear about it all, but let's just hope that it can be rebuilt brick by brick. i know it won't be the same, but at least it will be something. thanks very much, paul turner. right. service of right. police service of northern ireland. chief constable simon says constable simon byrne says he is deeply over an industrial deeply sorry over an industrial scale breach of data. that's the worst security breach in northern irish northern ireland's history. let's get more from northern ireland. reporter dougie beattie , who has reporter dougie beattie, who has been at the press conference. dougie, what have you been heanng dougie, what have you been hearing ? well he was very hearing? well he was very pleased down in this. >> he was very humble in it and he apologised to the officers andindeed he apologised to the officers and indeed to the public and said the trust had been very much damaged with the psni and especially around data he made sure that there would be nothing else released on spreadsheets,

spreadsheets . now, it appears, spreadsheets. now, it appears, are a thing of the past. but he also said that they do believe that dissident republicans now have that information in their hands. he said that there was a number of task groups set up in place to have it. look, look at how they could redeploy some officers. they haven't rehired , officers. they haven't rehired, used anyone yet, but they are saying that they are looking at costs , including those in the costs, including those in the round compensation. and that will be a big issue for the psni because of the amount of security breach that it actually is . also he said that they are is. also he said that they are looking into and report of the laptop and they said that they don't believe anybody can access the laptop but they are looking to see why it actually took so long to report the laptop that was stolen out of that car on the 6th of july. but here, more importantly than any, he did say that leadership is not about walking away and he hasn't been asked to resign . so earning news

asked to resign. so earning news also out of this conference about about dissident republicans having their hands on this information on news about whatsapp groups and the sharing of this information amongst dissident republicans. yes. well, i mean, half of northern ireland, to be quite honest about it, tom has this information now. so many days on from when it was. that's why they called a critical issue on it. but what he's going to do with that , we don't know because with that, we don't know because it's already out in the public domain. and it's very well setting up all these groups, etcetera . but the forward motion etcetera. but the forward motion in this is really about how he's going to deal with these officers and rehousing and redeploying them and most of all, getting their trust . it did all, getting their trust. it did come out in the press conference that immediately after he leaves here that he will going to here that he will be going to talk police federation talk to the police federation and also dougie , that second and also dougie, that second data breach, the theft of the
