the drink. a border force boat broke down. it was a record day for crossings for the year with more than 700 arrivals. you couldn't this up. you just couldn't make this up. you just couldn't make this up. you just couldn't make this up. you just couldn't make it if you couldn't make it up. if you actually pitched this as a sitcom editor's would send it back and say, you just make that a more believable for me, a bit more believable for me, please. taxpayer was please. but it's taxpayer was paying please. but it's taxpayer was paying for all of this. incompetence just paying for all of this. inconaboutce just paying for all of this. incon about what just paying for all of this. incon about what you're jsl paying for all of this. incon about what you're paying think about what you're paying for start to finish . so for from start to finish. so a smattering of foreign aid too. a lot of the countries that these people claim to be coming from, money to the french to not stop them coming money to border force them back to shore, force to tow them back to shore, money for the monitoring equipment that crashed into the sea for their initial sea, money for their initial processing , their medical care, processing, their medical care, their accommodation , their their hotel accommodation, their legal the bibi barge, then legal fees, the bibi barge, then for fees for the for the legal fees for the people wanting to go on the people not wanting to go on the bibi barge, then whatever it costs now to get them back off the barge, presumably some form of then whatever of quarantine, then whatever happens so we are paying happens next. so we are paying for completing competence. it is such a waste of money and we're

spending it on people like this. >> i left my country, the gambia, because i felt that i could not realise my dream. >> there . >> there. >> there. >> okay, so that is a chap who appeared on newsnight and he was asked why he decided to make a treacherous journey from the gambia to across europe. a couple of boat journeys en route there. and he said , and i wanted there. and he said, and i wanted to come because i didn't realise that i could realise my dream back home. okay so he's an economic migrant then, isn't he? he just admitted it as he can. you can you imagine if somebody said , i don't think i can said, i don't think i can realise my dream in britain, so i'm going to illegally turn up in another country and live off the taxpayer and then refuse to leave. but these people are classed as refugees. i mean, come on. the thing is that what is already happening with the bibi barge is that charities are saying that this water farce shows inhumane it is to put shows how inhumane it is to put people on there. and when we decide that it's safe again,

well, know what's well, we all know what's happening, don't there'll be happening, don't we? there'll be another of other legal another huge raft of other legal complaints i we should complaints. i think we should give government load give the government a load of money invest brewery and money to invest in a brewery and just see if they can organise a booze up. or better still, give them a gun and we'll all just line so they can us in line up so they can shoot us in the foot one . by one. well the foot one. by one. well that's what i think. i want to hear from you. vaiews@gbnews.com. the emails have been coming in thick and fast already. i can see them. i'll go to them after my first guest. them coming. but guest. so keep them coming. but yes, you've just me yes, as you've just heard me say, asylum seekers are now, believe not, being believe it or not, being removed from the bibby stockholm barge due discovery of due to the discovery of legionella bacteria the water legionella bacteria in the water supply, extreme cases supply, which in extreme cases can cause serious type of lung can cause a serious type of lung infection in known as legionnaires disease . the news legionnaires disease. the news comes as prime minister rishi sunak has been urged to resurrect the policy now of pushbacksin resurrect the policy now of pushbacks in the channel and pursue a plan b to get his stop the boats pledge back on track. joining me now is stephen woolf,

the director of the centre for migration. first things first. hello. but also, what do you make of the water crisis that we've got on the barge? we've spent, however much money doing the place up and apparently nobody checked the water? >> well, it's just a farce, isn't it? >> it's almost more comedic than anyone that can be. >> appearing on bbc's new bbc comedy shows. it's actually funnier than all of that. if it wasn't . so. unfortunately wasn't. so. unfortunately expensive and costly and embarrassing to the country as a whole. it's embarrassing to the government. it's embarrassing to the home office . and really, the home office. and really, they should be hanging their headsin they should be hanging their heads in shame that some of the bafic heads in shame that some of the basic checks that have been made haven't been made before. people are brought on to the boat because all all it does is it gives more grist to the mill, to those who are posing any challenges to large scale migration economic migrants migration and economic migrants coming to this country. >> yeah, indeed. and that is exactly what's going happen exactly what's going to happen now. calais have now. care for calais have already involved, haven't

already got involved, haven't they? for it's they? i mean, for what? it's worth, quite often have worth, we do quite often have legionella popping up occasionally in our in our hospitals and other places . i hospitals and other places. i mean, it's not the most uncommon thing world, but the fact thing in the world, but the fact that is now allegedly on this that it is now allegedly on this barge we were going barge where we were going to house migrants, was house these migrants, there was talk all being risk talk of it all being a fire risk to begin anyway. and to begin with anyway. and everything. mean, we know everything. i mean, we know what's now, we, what's happening now, don't we, stephen? to clean stephen? they're going to clean this they're going this place up. they're going to say, it's again. and say, oh, it's fine again. and the lawyers are going to have a taxpayer funded field so taxpayer funded field day. so you send them there. how you can't send them there. how can you how guarantee me can you how can you guarantee me how you guarantee their how can you guarantee their safety? there's no one the safety? there's no one of the lawyers don't want this stop. lawyers don't want this to stop. they're absolutely they're getting absolutely minted lawyers are going >> well, the lawyers are going to quite a lot of profit to make quite a lot of profit out of this in two particular ways. because legal aid ways. one is because legal aid is a huge budget for immigration lawyers particularly lawyers and that particularly when challenge them when they can challenge them into the high or through into the high court or through judicial review or indeed getting to the appeals court getting up to the appeals court . where they . so that's really where they want go because where want to go because that's where they most money. but of they make the most money. but of course they also money from course they also get money from charities trade unions who

charities and trade unions who are helping fund cases against the government. so the immigration legal industry is actually a very profitable industry to be in. and if it wasn't for the fact that huge numbers of charities are receiving tax payers money from a central government or be from local authority fees, they wouldn't have this cash to be able to give to the lawyers to challenge the governments. in the first instance. >> no, indeed . and again, it is >> no, indeed. and again, it is just more waste of money in the middle of a cost of living crisis, people are feeling the pinch just look at the pinch and you just look at the bills are coming just bills that are coming in just through policies generally , through the policies generally, then the inaction and then the through the policies generally, then execution on and then the through the policies generally, then execution of and then the through the policies generally, then execution of it.d then the through the policies generally, then execution of it. i then the through the policies generally, then execution of it. i mean, re through the policies generally, then execution of it. i mean, we poor execution of it. i mean, we are probably three times are paying probably three times for the same thing and they're not getting any of the results. and it just like you said, it's laughable. it's frustrating. i was on into the office was on the way into the office today, actually. i was literally on the way and the phone goes on the way in and the phone goes off. and one of those news off. and it's one of those news alerts, know, it's not alerts, you know, and it's not to be. and we're kicking them off thought, of

off the barge. and i thought, of course we are actually obviously we are. why did ever think we are. why did i ever think that was actually going to that this was actually going to happen? thank you happen? look, stephen, thank you very much, mate. i could talk to you care. stephen you all day. take care. stephen wolff, of the wolff, the director of the centre for migration well, centre for migration now. well, from perspective about from a serious perspective about what legionnaires what on earth legionnaires actually can actually is and how it can happen what this happen and what this this bacteria actually does. this is, of course, the reason are of course, the reason why we are now the handful of now evacuating the handful of people we managed to get onto the in first place for the barge in the first place for a perspective, a medical perspective, let's cross i'm joined a medical perspective, let's crossby i'm joined a medical perspective, let's crossby tarun i'm joined a medical perspective, let's crossby tarun govind, 'm joined a medical perspective, let's crossby tarun govind, who»ined a medical perspective, let's crossby tarun govind, who isad now by tarun govind, who is a pharmacist. thank you very, very much. so well, go on. what much. and so well, go on. what is it then? what is the legionnaires virus? how does it start? the bacteria? start? what's the bacteria? talk me through it. >> okay. so you get legionnaires disease you're breathing in disease if you're breathing in tiny water, which tiny droplets of water, which contains the bacteria . and as contains the bacteria. and as you said earlier , it's from you said earlier, it's from places like hotels , bars, places like hotels, bars, offices. and that's where the water tends to get into the water tends to get into the water supply. >> and it's not that common to catch it at home because obviously we've got taps and there's quite a few taps and we're running them. >> most of the time, but it

tends to be where water supply has been stagnated for a little while, for just your viewer's own and you can't own health. and you can't usually it from drinking usually get it from drinking water that the bacteria i >> -- >> so what we're really thinking is this is a build up in the levels of bacteria to an extent that people are then inhaling the water droplets. >> and that's how you're getting it's a sort of a pneumonia is the best way of describing it to the best way of describing it to the to most people . and the sort the to most people. and the sort of symptoms that you could end up with if you end up with legionnaires disease are things like a cough, shortness of breath , chest pain and high breath, chest pain and high temperature flu like symptoms . temperature flu like symptoms. some might say it's a little bit that sort of like covid symptoms we've been talking about over the last few years. and the main things that we're telling people. were worried people. if you were worried about come into about that, you'd come into contact with legionnaires is if in the last ten days you'd been to a hotel, a spa or an office, and then you had symptoms like a cough that's lasted for three weeks or more, if you were coughing up blood, if you're

getting a chest pain or if you were feeling , um, sort of short were feeling, um, sort of short of breath, those are the things that we'd be asking people to contact their gp or one on one about. some people who are going to need to up in hospital to need to end up in hospital though if they end up with this disease. that can involve disease. and that can involve antibiotic , it can antibiotic treatment, it can involve and it can involve oxygen and it can involve oxygen and it can involve a machine to help you breathe. so most people do make a full recovery, but it can take a full recovery, but it can take a few weeks to feel back to normal. i think the key point here is, as you've highlighted, it's about the checks that are done to done before people are able to go offices and hospitals go into offices and hospitals and those things that we and all those things that we do routinely that less routinely so that you're less likely to be in this situation. >> and are you contagious with it then? so if i had it and i coughed on you , for example, coughed on you, for example, would you get it ? would you get it? >> i think the key point here really is we don't want people getting it at all and we don't want we it's about the prevention , really, isn't it? so prevention, really, isn't it? so why have the checks not been donein why have the checks not been done in terms of water

stagnation and having those checksin stagnation and having those checks in place that we should have in place ? yes. which don't have in place? yes. which don't think we need more. i would like to see more clarity as to how long the bar has been sat without anyone able to access it or what checks have been done. that's the key , especially that's the key, especially considering a lot of it is new, supposedly. >> i mean, this is the thing as well, especially the kitchen area, for example. i mean, one would thought, wouldn't would have thought, wouldn't they, ever water in they, that what ever water is in there had really been in there had not really been in there had not really been in there that long. one would have assumed that clearly that may well just just well not be the case. just just to reiterate something to just to reiterate something quickly, that's all right. if quickly, if that's all right. if somebody contract somebody does contract legionnaires, have legionnaires, then do they have to i'm just to quarantine or. i'm just trying think what's going to trying to think what's going to have if these have to happen now if these people have been exposed thing to so not contagious. it's >> so it's not contagious. it's not from person to not spread from person to person. and i've said, it's person. and as i've said, it's unlikely to be you drinking unlikely to be from you drinking water. that direct inhaled water. it is that direct inhaled action drops. but for action of the drops. but for a pubuc action of the drops. but for a public health point of view, yes, i would be i would be containing myself personally to protect myself and others. so as

i've said, it's not contagious, but that would be the right thing to do for our own health, wouldn't it? and then to be accessing health care support . accessing health care support. but ultimately, the point is here is the checks that we do in society to keep us all stay well. our offices , you know, well. our offices, you know, offices are recommended to run their water weekly for a period. so that we don't have this stagnation in the pipes. and it's really about, i think, people a bit of an awareness of if, however, we're going to house people in this country, wherever we're going to put them, we need to make sure that we are keeping them safe because actually, if we don't focus on prevention, with prevention, we end up with people getting, well, this is it i >>i >> i mean, i mean, depending on what now, this could end what happens now, this could end up story about how, you up being a story about how, you know, that this know, it's a shame that this happened. know, it's a shame that this happened . and in the first happened. and in the first place, there was a build up of this. but detected it very this. but we detected it very early we managed to protect early and we managed to protect people early. so there are there's of looking there's two ways of looking at it. thank you very, very it. but thank you very, very much, darren. great to have you on show. someone in there

on the show. someone in there who just who is a pharmacist just educating a little bit educating us all a little bit about legionnaires, which not about legionnaires, which is not the had originally planned the way i had originally planned on this show, but moving on doing this show, but moving on doing this show, but moving on matter. it's the on very serious matter. it's the case of an autistic girl arrested by police making arrested by police for making an alleged it's alleged homophobic remark. it's prompted it's prompted a complaint. it's kicked warning kicked off online. a warning now that some viewers may find the following distressing, following footage distressing, but go but you clenching your fists, go away my teenage daughter. away from my teenage daughter. >> up with you? you're >> what is up with you? you're wmma >> what is up with you? you're summat you. me? she summat wrong with you. me? she didn't it the police officer. >> homophobic remarks at my mother. >> it's not a homophobic remarks, she said. i think she's a lesbian. like. like nana. if you bully people, you you want to bully people, you just. you just get one of them badges there. >> that's what you do. >> that's what you do. >> caitlyn how is it going over there? she's autistic. she don't like people touching her. she will have a meltdown . she won't will have a meltdown. she won't come out. she's got autism . and come out. she's got autism. and lisa, talk to her so she can come out okay. >> on the face of it, looks horrific. you've got an autistic 16 year girl there who has 16 year old girl there who has apparently just said something in relation to sexuality and genden in relation to sexuality and gender. an officer appears to have offence. it looks

have taken offence. it looks a bit heavy handed. a lot of people are wondering, as indeed i am, whether not there's i am, whether or not there's more meets the with more than meets the eye with this police do a very, this clip. the police do a very, very difficult job, don't they? do that do we know everything that happened police , of happened before the police, of course, saying that course, are indeed saying that that was just a small snapshot of are calls for of it. but there are calls for people to be sacked over this. and when i come back, i'm going to talking about just that to be talking about just that with is director with sophie khan is director of the action centre . have the police action centre. have the police action centre. have the police been too heavy handed ? response to that ? compare their response to that to how might respond to or to how they might respond to or i don't know if someone broke into your nan's house, i'll

news. the people's channel, britain's news channel or. >> well, this has caused a heck of a lot of controversy. and it is, of course, the case of an autistic 16 year old girl who was arrested by police for making an alleged homophobic remark. it's prompted a complaint. i'm just going to remind you, i know we played it the other side of that break, but in case you nipped off for a cup of tea, she's going to remind you very quickly about some of the content of this video. it's very distressing. take a look. >> is it going to right there? >> she's autistic. she don't like people touching her. she will a meltdown. all right. will have a meltdown. all right. >> sophie khan joins me now. is the police the director of the police action centre, which provides advice on complaints made against police. thank you against the police. thank you very very much, sophie. now very, very much, sophie. now this 16 year old was supposedly supposedly drunk in leeds town centre . the police have been

centre. the police have been called one way or another. they've turned up at the property where this child is with her family . some kind of with her family. some kind of remark has been made in relation to somebody looking like a lesbian and one of the police officers involved who happens to be a woman with quite short cropped blonde hair. clearly took offence to that. and then they proceeded to arrest her. do you think this is something that should be complaint about or actually are the police just doing their job now ? doing their job now? >> now, i think this is very heavy handed policing and totally unnecessary. i mean, i don't know why why they had to follow this up with an arrest . follow this up with an arrest. >> if there was any issue that the female officer wanted to deal with, it could have been deau deal with, it could have been dealt with with a letter. >> i mean, that would have been the best way, really . the best way, really. >> i can't see how. now this is a policing matter, how this falls within, you know, even i don't believe a crime has been

committed . so i don't know why committed. so i don't know why the police officer is using her position for her. you know , her position for her. you know, her personal vendetta against this girl. >> so i'm just going to read out what the police have said about this. so from 12:12 am. on monday, august the seventh, police received calls from a family member of 16 year old family member of a 16 year old girl who was reportedly intoxicated and putting herself at risk in leeds city centre. officers attended about 1 at risk in leeds city centre. officers attended about1 a.m. officers attended about 1 am. drove the teenager home so she could be appropriately looked after. returning the after. upon returning to the address , comments were made address, comments were made which resulted in the girl being arrested suspicion of a arrested on suspicion of a homophobic public order offence. so there's a couple of points to this, which is i can completely believe that this girl, autistic or not, drunk at the age of 16, might have been putting the police officers under quite a lot of stress for the hour or so. it took them to get them back to the house and that tensions could be frayed. the bit i am most concerned about is can you be arrested for a homophobic public order offence

in your own home whilst possibly actually talking about a member of your own family ? of your own family? >> well. well, this is the issue we need to look into whether a crime has even been committed here because if the incident took place in a conversation in her home, even if a conversation outside, it doesn't mean a crime has been committed. so we really need to see what, you know, what the situation was . but clearly, the situation was. but clearly, this was not policing of any sort. and i think the family and the girl are right to be complaining about it. >> i completely get where the family are coming from . one family are coming from. one thing i will say is we've got hard to tell in this video i'm going to say about 5 or 6 police officers and i believe there's seven, seven, right. well, i would argue that maybe maybe in a way even worse, because there's seven police officers

there's seven police officers there who have had to deal with a 16 year old girl who's been able to go into a city centre and get drunk. and with absolute respect , maybe the police respect, maybe the police reacted heavy handedly . but why reacted heavy handedly. but why did that even happen in the first place? should there not be more of a spotlight on that? well well, yes. >> but i think what we need to focus really on is whether we need to drag an autistic girl or or any girl out from her home when she clearly is, you know, she's back away from the town centre . she's clearly in a safe centre. she's clearly in a safe environment . now, do we need to environment. now, do we need to remove her from that into an unsafe environment, especially when she has a neurodiversity condition , which obviously the condition, which obviously the police do not know how to deal with ? because if they knew, they with? because if they knew, they wouldn't have behaved in this way in the first place. so i think we need to really look at what what was the real purpose of this interaction by the police? was this a personal

vendetta by the blonde haired police officer , or was it police officer, or was it something else? and from what we can see, i think it's the it is the former that there seems to be some kind of personal inter, you know, personal reason why the police turned up. that is not policing, that is not not allowed at all. so i'll tell you i'll tell you exactly why. >> if indeed that is true, i will tell you exactly why i think that that has happened is because we have now allowed a society to build up where if anybody misgenders anybody or anybody misgenders anybody or anybody makes any kind of remark about somebody's sexual obe whatsoever, that the offence thatis whatsoever, that the offence that is taken off the back of that is taken off the back of that trumps anything else. and if indeed it is that this female officer feels as though there's been some kind of homophobic slur that has been made at her and she's not going to drop it clearly. and she's going to arrest someone for it and then stand outside looking miserable with her arms folded on the pavement whilst colleagues pavement whilst her colleagues go year old

go and drag a 16 year old autistic child out of her own home. and then into a police station. i mean, would argue station. i mean, i would argue that maybe a comment that that's maybe a comment about the lgbtq+ mafia has about how the lgbtq+ mafia has infiltrated our police force . infiltrated our police force. >> well, then we need to really look at is this this individual, this blonde haired officer is she really fit to be where of the uniform is? should she be paid by by us as taxpayers? and if this is all she is capable of doing is getting a 16 year old girl autistic girl, dragged out of her house, then the answer to thatis of her house, then the answer to that is no. and it's basically a wider picture as to what our police officers doing are they policing or are they doing acts like this ? and unfortunately, like this? and unfortunately, they're doing acts like this. it's very unfortunate it so if we look thank you very , very we look thank you very, very much and we'll have to wait and see. >> weren't we now as to what how the complaints procedure goes, we've covered quite a bit there because i think there are so

many different elements to this story, all which quite story, all of which are quite concerning. sophie khan is concerning. so sophie khan is the director of the police concerning. so sophie khan is the dircentre. the police concerning. so sophie khan is the dircentre. and police concerning. so sophie khan is the dircentre. and yes, :e concerning. so sophie khan is the dircentre. and yes, i want action centre. and yes, i want to thatit action centre. and yes, i want to that it was indeed to clarify that it was indeed the 61 year old girl involved in this that apparently apparently made a remark about a female officer looking like a lesbian and that, i believe, is one of the main reasons why this situation has erupted. that and, of course, the fact that she was drunk in leeds town centre and had to be brought home. but there loads more still to there we go, loads more still to come between now and 4:00, a big royal reshuffle as king charles appoints princess of appoints the princess of wales and edinburgh to new and duchess of edinburgh to new positions. could harry now positions. but could harry now actually face genuinely faced deportation from america over a historic drug abuse, etcetera? so we'll be talking about all of that and will bring you a little bit of economic good news. but now it is your headline . now it is your headline. >> good afternoon . it's 332. i'm >> good afternoon. it's 332. i'm rhiannon jones in the newsroom .

rhiannon jones in the newsroom. the home secretary was warned that holding migrants on the bibby stockholm comb was a huge health and safety risk. the fire bngades health and safety risk. the fire brigades union says it wrote to suella braverman more than a week ago, but hasn't received a response. all 39 migrants on the barge were removed this afternoon after legionella bacteria was found in the water on the barge. the bacteria can cause a serious type of lung infection known as legionnaires disease as meanwhile, the home office has confirmed 755 people crossed the english channel in 14 small boats yesterday , the 14 small boats yesterday, the highest daily figure. so far this year. it brings the total number of people to have made the crossing to 100,000 . since the crossing to 100,000. since 2018 . and the health secretary 2018. and the health secretary says the latest four day strike by junior doctors, which started today, serves only to harm patients. it's the fifth time

here with the gb news forecast from the met office. sunny spells again today but scattered showers and it'll feel fresher compared with the last few days as a cold front moves through . as a cold front moves through. that's now clearing the northern isles and the far southeast corner. still areas of cloud associated with it , but brighter associated with it, but brighter skies elsewhere as we end the day, a few showers around scotland, wales , northern scotland, wales, northern england perhaps, but the more persistent rain that we're expecting overnight arrives around midnight into northern ireland and then into western scotland during the early hours, 1 or 2 showers elsewhere, but dner 1 or 2 showers elsewhere, but drier and clearer towards the south—east. another warm night, 1516 celsius for many, but not quite as muggy as the last couple of nights. some sunshine early on, midlands, east anglia and south east england, for example. but it quite quickly the cloud builds and showery areas of rain move into scotland, northern ireland, northwest england, west wales . northwest england, west wales. so showers and longer spells of rain really towards the

northwest , fewer showers towards northwest, fewer showers towards the southeast and some sunny spells in between. a breezy day , however. so that's going to make it feel a bit cooler compared with the last few days into sunday morning . again, into sunday morning. again, a sunny start for many showers. get going quite quickly and once again, the showers will be focussed towards the north—west of the country with drier conditions towards the south—east. some heavier and more persistent rain on monday, drying up again tuesday by by drying up again on tuesday by by looks like things are heating up. >> boxed boilers, proud sponsors of weather on . of weather on. gb news. >> well, warm weather in june helped boost economic growth more than expected, according to the office for national statistics. gdp increased by 0.2% in the second quarter of the year. so in june alone, gdp rose by 0.5% at the summery

weather and warm temperatures are thought to have lifted economic growth. who said the global warming was all bad ? but global warming was all bad? but joining me now to pick through the noise is gb news economics and business editor liam halligan with on the money . so halligan with on the money. so what does this mean then, liam? have we swerved a recession ? have we swerved a recession? what's going on? are we all rich now? patrick we got to take the good news where we can get it. >> the uk economy grew by drumroll . 0.2% back in the net drumroll. 0.2% back in the net dunng drumroll. 0.2% back in the net during the second quarter. that is april, may and june. now that's pretty feeble growth by historic standards , i must say. historic standards, i must say. but it was up from 0.1% in the previous three months and it's quite nice because the imf, the international monetary fund characteristically said that the uk economy would be the slowest growing economy in the g7 and we haven't been we're not in recession . recession is two recession. recession is two consecutive quarters of negative growth. german economy has growth. the german economy has beenin growth. the german economy has been in recession . i mean, let's been in recession. i mean, let's have a look at how we compare

internationally, right? because i there's lot to be i think there's a lot to be revealed in these numbers. so here we have the general theme is sluggish europe, and that includes the uk . is sluggish europe, and that includes the uk. in is sluggish europe, and that includes the uk . in the us, is sluggish europe, and that includes the uk. in the us, in the uk, there's the uk, 0.2, france 0.5% growth. the us crikey, 2.4% growth and we haven't got the forgotten the number for germany. it's just that the number for germany is zero. so right now what is the difference between the us and france in particular and the uk and germany? it's all about about energy. for my money, the us , they're fracking like crazy. us, they're fracking like crazy. they're energy costs are very, very low . they're growing like very low. they're growing like topsy . france, of course, 70% of topsy. france, of course, 70% of french electricity is nuclear. the french are so good at civilian nuclear edf , a french civilian nuclear edf, a french government owned company , runs government owned company, runs our nuclear, civilian, nuclear industry. pretty much they're , industry. pretty much they're, you know, leading the building of hinkley point in somerset and so on. so they've got nuclear power. we we've got, you know, some renewables as we've also

been importing lng from the us to beat the band. germany massively exposed to the russia—ukraine crisis, massively dependent on russian gas, still very high energy costs, not quite as high as ours. but i would say the main difference between the us and france and germany is the relative lack of exposure of the us and france compared to the german economy, which is a world class economy to that war in ukraine and the related energy costs. >> because that's really interesting from a political point. yeah, because if we had done more, i try and make it interesting. if we had done the interesting. if we had done the interest peaked, we had interest rates peaked, if we had done more to be self sufficient, then actually we would probably all have bit more money in our all have a bit more money in our pocket. would be pocket. our economy would be doing sunak would doing better. rishi sunak would not under anything like the not be under anything like the kind of pressure and scrutiny that in regard kind of pressure and scrutiny that but in regard kind of pressure and scrutiny that but because regard kind of pressure and scrutiny that but because we regard kind of pressure and scrutiny that but because we are gard now. but because we are desperately trying to hit net zero targets, etcetera , in a way zero targets, etcetera, in a way it's political suicide , i think. it's political suicide, i think. >> okay, net zero is certainly expensive . it certainly pushes expensive. it certainly pushes up our energy costs. look to two

main points i'd make from these gdp numbers. the gdp numbers are relatively good news and that's why i'm sort of slightly gloating about them. but but but these gdp numbers because the uk hasn't fallen off an economic cliff because we're not in recession , because our economy recession, because our economy is pretty resilient, recession, because our economy is pretty resilient , frankly, is pretty resilient, frankly, because we've got a lot of hardened up business people who just get on with it. it's our kind of national psyche. despite lots of the sort of working from home and lots of shirking and so on. there's a hard core of very hard people in the uk hard working people in the uk because gdp numbers are because these gdp numbers are better than expected . patrick better than expected. patrick when the mpc, the monetary policy committee, meets again in september, it's now more likely to raise interest rates again because growth isn't as bad . it because growth isn't as bad. it can say, oh, the economy can take it, we can merely put up interest rates again, try and salvage our battered credibility given that we let inflation get out of control. so that's the kind of bad news in the in the good news, the other thing i would say is that reiterating

this energy point and your net zero point in the us , you and i zero point in the us, you and i went through these numbers last week. in the us, the average household energy cost per unit is 18 what we call cent euros per kilowatt hour. so it's 18 right in spain it's 22. in france it's 29. in the uk it's 45, right? that's how expensive our household energy and that has knock on effects for business, corporate energy bills as well . we have really high as well. we have really high energy bills in this country and now i bring it full circle, even though we have about 40% of our electricity is renewables on a good day, why? i'll say this again, i've said it many times, because even though renewables are relatively cheap to generate , they're massively subsidised. but more importantly to have the renewables at the level that we have them as important in our energy mix as we have them. you have to have gas fired power stations just sitting there staffed, ready to be fired up at

a moment's notice. that is really , really, really expensive really, really, really expensive because you have all the running costs of those gas fired power stations that are on standby, but they don't get much revenue because they're only there to fill in when the renewables aren't working because the wind doesn't or sun doesn't doesn't blow or the sun doesn't shine. very, very shine. we have very, very expensive this expensive energy in this country. why why our cost country. that's why why our cost of living crisis is severe. but even though we have that very expensive energy, our economy is still pounding away. we've still got growth. >> it's amazing where we could be. >> but unfortunately, that means we are likely to see another interest rise. just the interest rate rise. just the thing in middle of september. >> liam, thank you. >> liam, thank you. >> tried it as >> i've tried to make it as upbeat as can without without upbeat as i can without without being overly optimistic . being overly optimistic. >> no, that's the annoying thing for me is and i suspect a lot of our viewers and listeners as well, is if we took the handbrake a little bit, then handbrake off a little bit, then maybe able to kick on maybe we will be able to kick on and would look a lot and our figures would look a lot better. but anyway, we go. better. but anyway, there we go. liam, you very much. liam, thank you very much. liam halligan and business halligan economics and business edhon halligan economics and business editor. i've just about got time

to squeeze a little to squeeze in as well. a little bit royal roundup now bit of a royal roundup now because prince harry andrew because prince harry and andrew have pecking have fallen down the pecking order king charles order once again. king charles has big royal has announced a big royal reshuffle. there are new reshuffle. so there are new dufies reshuffle. so there are new duties for select working royals. princess royals. the prince and princess of wales secured promotion, of wales have secured promotion, and his majesty taking over of wales have secured promotion, and i-of majesty taking over of wales have secured promotion, and i-of maj well, it looks like the king is doing a little bit of house keeping. poster session, house keeping, i should say. patrick, it's coming up to the death of the anniversary of the death of queen elizabeth month. queen elizabeth ii next month. who 50 military who held 50 military associations and titles from the uk armed forces and indeed commonwealth armed forces. as you said , eight military

you said, eight military associations are being held onto by his majesty the king, including him being the sponsor of the magnificent british aircraft carrier hms queen elizabeth. but no , no new elizabeth. but no, no new military roles for prince harry. as you can probably imagine, he is no longer a working member of the royal family and buckingham palace was keen to emphasise that it palace was keen to emphasise thatitis palace was keen to emphasise that it is working. members of the family who are getting the royal family who are getting new and titles new military roles and titles today. new military roles and titles today . his brother, prince today. his brother, prince william, actually taking over william, is actually taking over as in chief of the army as colonel in chief of the army air corps and that's the units that prince harry flew apache helicopters in in afghanistan. now, as for the disgraced duke of york, two of his former military titles are being given to the princess of wales and the duchess of edinburgh. so kate's becoming commodore in chief of the fleet air arm. that's a nod to her grandfather who served dunng to her grandfather who served during world war ii and also flew alongside prince philip, the former duke of edinburgh, in 1962 as well. so he's becoming colonel in chief of the royal irish regiment . william and

irish regiment. william and catherine, both getting three extra roles each. i think that's showing that clearly they are the next in line to the throne or william is at least, and it's giving them more responsibility in their new roles. so william's becoming colonel in chief of the mercian regiment, as i said, army air corps's and the royal honorary air commodore of raf valley. the queen is royal army chaplains department at the duke of edinburgh. princess royal, duke and duchess of gloucester. they have all got more military titles as well as for the duke of kent. another working royal. there are no new titles or responsibilities for him. he turns 88. can you believe it, in october? so as i said, it's the summer months, a bit quieter in terms of the royal diary. so the king is his time to do king is using his time to do a bit of housekeeping, but it's showing that down showing that slimmed down monarchy, patrick monarchy, isn't it, patrick getting everything bit more getting everything a bit more streamlined year ahead . streamlined for the year ahead. >> i'm a walker there are royal correspondent outside the wonderful buckingham palace and yes, the next hour, i will be

yes, in the next hour, i will be talking about the prospects a talking about the prospects of a prince harry deportation, where they him to, they would deport him to, though, be another though, should be another question. seekers question. but asylum seekers talking asylum talking of which anyway asylum seekers moved off the bibby stockholm barge after stockholm home barge after legionella was legionella bacteria was found. i will have more local reaction to this outbreak and to the locals feel they didn't have didn't have legionnaires disease, did they? over there before this barge rocked up at patrick christys on gb news. britain's news

through until 7:00 this evening. gb news on the people's. channel

>> i will have more on that next. but as migrants are removed from the bibby stockholm barge due to the discovery of legionella bacteria in the water supply , local campaigners who supply, local campaigners who fought to stop asylum seekers moving into the barge in the first well, they might be first place, well, they might be feeling pretty vindicated. am feeling pretty vindicated. i am also to see how they also quite keen to see how they feel possibility of an feel about the possibility of an outbreak in outbreak of legionnaires in their but joining me their home town, but joining me now is one of the campaigners as martin from to martin summers. from the no to the barge. look, i mean, the barge. martin, look, i mean, i don't claim know your area i don't claim to know your area massively well, but i don't think there were that many issues with legionnaires before this barge rocked up. were there ? >> 7- >> no. i ?_ >> no. i mean 7_ >> no. i mean , ? >> no. i mean , this is just >> no. i mean, this is just a catalogue of disasters. it's just one thing after another . just one thing after another. >> you know, the government's completely ignored the fire union in robert jenrick said

that this is safe. so he should be resigning . um, this is such be resigning. um, this is such an old barge . you know, we would an old barge. you know, we would ask, were the checks done and if so , were the results there so, were the results there before these people entered the barge ? um, it's just one thing barge? um, it's just one thing after another . last night, the after another. last night, the home office were told that some of the asylum seekers from oxfordshire here had tb or somebody had tb , and then some somebody had tb, and then some were awaiting surgery. and then there were people with that needed mental health support and then , you know, and then there then, you know, and then there was a possibility that people would be put to on the barge that had scabies or there was a possibility of diphtheria here. and you're packing people together on something that is just completely and utterly unsafe. yeah. >> and also and also as well. martin, though and also allowing them to just just leave the

barge. so you know, it's like, well, if you're bringing people on it who may well have health conditions, which have originated from quite possibly living in a squalid tent city in calais and being in amongst it there, then you're plonking there, and then you're plonking them onto close quarters where they might then infect each other. and then you say, do you want to get on this bus and go to your nearest town centre? and just, literally just, you know, quite literally bump with the locals? bump shoulders with the locals? martin pretty shocking stuff. >> the whole thing is just an absolute mess. and somebody needs to just take responsibility and say that this this is just wrong. responsibility and say that this this is just wrong . we've made this is just wrong. we've made a mistake. and also, don't forget that on this port, there are other workers. there's workers on the barge itself , too. you on the barge itself, too. you have to consider those, too, right next to this barge , cruise right next to this barge, cruise ships rock up . so there's ships rock up. so there's a there's a duty of care to the port workers . there's a duty of port workers. there's a duty of care to the cruise ship passengers is the whole thing is

just pushed together in a small area. don't forget, as we keep saying , portland is a very small saying, portland is a very small island at the end of a road . one island at the end of a road. one road in, one road out. if anything, anything should happen on this barge that needs the services of the fire, the police , the ambulance and anything goes wrong on that road , which goes wrong on that road, which it frequently does . that road it frequently does. that road can be closed for two hours, up to two hours at a time. if there's an incident on that road, the emergency services will be held up. so the whole plan, this whole thing has been just an absolute shambles. i just an absolute shambles. i just feel so sorry for i just i just feel so sorry for i just i just feel so sorry for you. >> and i don't mean that to sound patronising at all. i'm trying to. one of the reasons i get so angry about this is because i try to put myself in your position . and if i lived your position. and if i lived somewhere and was perfectly , somewhere and was perfectly, very content with my life and had made an active decision to

go somewhere pay go and live somewhere and pay for that, and then one day someone rocked up with with a potentially infectious barge or a load of people who i've got no idea who they are decimating my local economy and potentially my local economy and potentially my local safety and health. yeah, i'd be absolutely fuming. martin yeah. >> and as well, you know, this people keep saying, well, you know, it was built for oil workers. it was built for oil workers. it was built for oil workers. yes it was built for oil workers. it was built for 222 oil workers who i'm sure as professionals would have been had i banged into them about health and safety. health and safety, they would have been, you know, averse, adverse , you know, averse, adverse, versed in how you exit this barge in an emergency. the corridors are really quite, really, quite narrow , cramming really, quite narrow, cramming 500 odd people, all who are going to panic in an emergency. well it's not good. >> it's not good for anyone. and especially if they're saying that they've got a fear of water

and all of that stuff as well, which pinch of which i'll take with a pinch of salt. but do also get that salt. but i do also get that it's not an ideal location. martin thank you very much. martin thank you very much. martin summers there. the noficed martin summers there. the noticed barge campaign martin summers there. the noticed to barge campaign martin summers there. the noticed to that|e campaign martin summers there. the noticed to that news1paign martin summers there. the noticed to that news thatin reacting to that news that broke. i my way into broke. just i was on my way into the studio, actually, which is that evacuated the that we have now evacuated the bibby couldn't bibby stockholm. you couldn't make because apparently bibby stockholm. you couldn't make been because apparently bibby stockholm. you couldn't make been anecause apparently bibby stockholm. you couldn't make been an outbreakparently bibby stockholm. you couldn't make been an outbreak of ently there's been an outbreak of legionella in the water. emails coming as well. i'll coming in on this as well. i'll go to those i come back. go to those when i come back. actually because i've run of actually because i've run out of time. but woke bank time. classic but woke bank speed limits for wales more speed limits for wales and more on the bibby stockholm barge and your i promise that's your emails. i promise that's all patrick christys all coming up. patrick christys on britain's on gb news britain's news channel outlook with channel a brighter outlook with boxt solar proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. weather on. gb news. >> hi there. >> hi there. >> it's aidan mcgivern here with the gb news forecast from the met office . sunny spells again met office. sunny spells again today, but scattered showers and it will feel fresher compared with the last few days as a cold front moves through. that's now clearing the northern isles and the far southeast corner. still areas of cloud associated with

it, but brighter skies elsewhere as we end the day. a few showers around scotland, wales and northern england perhaps, but the more persistent rain that we're expecting overnight arrives around midnight into northern ireland and then into western scotland during the early hours, 1 or 2 showers elsewhere, but drier and clearer towards the south—east. another warm night, 1516 celsius for many, but not quite as muggy as the last couple of nights. some sunshine early on. midlands, east anglia , south east england, east anglia, south east england, for example. but it quite quickly the cloud builds and showery areas of rain move into scotland, northern ireland and northwest england, west wales . northwest england, west wales. so showers and longer spells of rain really towards the north—west fewer showers towards the south—east and some sunny spells in between. a breezy day. however so that's going to make it feel a bit cooler compared with the last few days into sunday morning. again, a sunny start for many showers . get start for many showers. get going quite quickly. and

out on strike. there is a massive cancer patient backlog thatis massive cancer patient backlog that is leading to deaths . are that is leading to deaths. are they actually now actively hurting patients? we're going to be having a closer look at that from the point of the strike. i'm also going to be discussing this as well. yes. now nigel farage has been digging around, doing more investigating doing some more investigating when to just banks, when it comes to not just banks, but corporations ones and but other corporations ones and the culture behind them. are they guilty of anti—white racism ? and by massively exaggerating things like diversity quotas, of course , all of this, well, they course, all of this, well, they don't volunteer this information. you have to really go and find it out, don't you? so we will be revealing all. and finally, a bit of light relief at the end. nicola sturgeon is in absolute tatters. she could well be on the best sellers book with a new novel, possibly fiction. we'll have to wait and see completely failed see about a completely failed politician course, but at the politician of course, but at the same time, she is currently in bits with ongoing investigations . et cetera. and apparently she's mum and dad's. she's fled to her mum and dad's. oh, well. patrick christys is on gb news. get those emails coming

in thick and fast. gb views and gbnews.com. want to hear from you on the whole host of topics, but right now is your headlines with tatiana . patrick. with tatiana. patrick. >> thank you very much and good afternoon. this is the latest from the gb news room. the home secretary was warned that holding migrants on the bibby stockholm barge was a huge health and safety risk. the fire bngades health and safety risk. the fire brigades union says it wrote to suella braverman more than a week ago , but hasn't received a week ago, but hasn't received a response . response. >> all 39 migrants on the barge were removed this afternoon after legionella bacteria was found in the water. the bacteria can cause a serious type of lung infection known as legionnaires disease . meanwhile the home disease. meanwhile the home office has confirmed 755 people cross the english channel in 14 small boats. yesterday that's the highest daily figure. so far this year. as we reported yesterday, it brings the total

number of people to have made the crossing to 100,000. that's since numbers were recorded in 2018. all right. some breaking news to bring you now. the rmt union has announced around 20,000 of its members at 14 train operators will strike on the 26th of august. and the 2nd of september. it's part of their ongoing dispute over pay , jobs ongoing dispute over pay, jobs and conditions. more on that story as we get it. the health secretary says the latest four day strike by junior doctors , day strike by junior doctors, which has started today, serves only to harm patients. it's the fifth time they've staged a walkout this year in their ongoing dispute over pay. according . to the almost according. to the almost 835,000, appointments have been postponed since industrial action began in september. the british medical association says it's been left with no choice . it's been left with no choice. chief secretary to the treasury john glenn insists the 6% uplift given to junior doctors is fair and says the government won't take part in any more talks .

take part in any more talks. >> what we cannot have is an inflationary pay increase before we break for the recess, we settled all the pay disputes based on the pay review bodies and for example, the teachers accepted the pay review body recommendation , as the recommendation, as the government did, and are not. no longer striking. so i regret very much that the doctors have chosen to strike again. i totally recognise that this has a negative impact on patients experience . experience. >> the prime minister says the government's plan is working after the uk economy grew by 0.2% in the second quarter. figures from the office for national statistics also show gdp rose by 0.5% in june alone, buoyed by the manufacturing sector , rishi sunak made growing sector, rishi sunak made growing the economy one of his top priorities at the start of the yean priorities at the start of the year, and he claims progress is being made . the results mean being made. the results mean there's no immediate risk of the uk slipping into recession in

seems that the world of finance is for another big is heading for another big mistake. the campaign group you may well not have heard of this lot, way, but you be lot, by the way, but you will be heanng lot, by the way, but you will be hearing about them in the hearing a lot about them in the coming and months. b—lab coming weeks and months. b—lab uk it's supposedly uk. well, it's supposedly lobbying for social justice to become legal requirement, become a legal requirement, which would mean that issues relating to diversity , relating to diversity, oppression and language would become actively restricted laws against free speech in large institutions. now that might sound a bit complicated , but sound a bit complicated, but joining me now is the general secretary of the free speech union, toby young , to discuss union, toby young, to discuss what this means in practical, day to day realistic terms and how this will be affecting our lives. take it away . lives. toby, take it away. >> yes. so b—corp is a certificate that companies can apply for a bit like becoming stonewall. >> diversity champions. they have to answer 80 questions as the certification process takes over a year . over a year. >> and what they have to do in order to get certified is they have to turbo boost their equity

diversity and inclusion policies. they have to change their articles of association. so the purpose of the company is not to maximise profits for shareholders . they have to give shareholders. they have to give equal priority to people and the planet, both internally and externally. essentially the companies have to pay for loyalty to the woke cult if they want to become certified as b corp's short for b corporations. b is for benefit. they benefit the whole of society, not just the whole of society, not just the shareholders . the shareholders. >> that's the idea. >> that's the idea. >> sounds quite benign and well—meaning. patrick but what it means in practise is that if you oppose net zero, for instance, if you don't embrace critical race theory or gender identity ideology in those companies, you can find yourself quite quickly purged from those companies. and we saw exactly that happening in the case of nigel farage, nigel farage was kicked out de—banking by coutts, the bank he'd been with for 40 years. shortly after coutts

became a certified b corp company . and so at the free company. and so at the free speech union we've just published a report on the b corp movement. it originated in america in 2006. it's now spreading across the world. there are now more b—corp certified companies in the uk than the whole of the rest of europe combined. it's an exponentially growing movement . exponentially growing movement. it's part of the general woke ification of the corporate sector , particularly the sector, particularly the financial sector. we think it's extremely worrying and if people want to read more about it, they can read the report it's linked to on the front page of the free speech union website. the report is woke limited, you is called woke limited, and you can that at free speech can find that at free speech union.org. again, in union.org. so again, in practical terms, then companies will all be having their main agenda not to be maximising profits. >> it will be to say look how lovely and nice we are. but then when that works its way down the ladder for years a lot of people have kind of joked almost about, oh, you won't be able to , won't

oh, you won't be able to, won't be able to get a job there now because you're a straight white man. but actually, is man. but actually, that is that's something that is happening , isn't now happening, isn't it? now >> absolutely. in order to become a b corp certified company, you have to satisfy b—mb company, you have to satisfy b—lab uk that you're making huge efforts to recruit a diverse workforce and you actually get points if you employ people from a marginalised historically disadvantaged minority backgrounds . so effectively, backgrounds. so effectively, companies that want to get certified as b corp companies do have to engage in positive discrimination. affirmative action, stop employing cis het white men and start employing more women, more people who identify as trans more people of colour. so yes, it's definitely having an impact on the hiring policies of those companies. they're really alarming thing about this particular movement, patrick, is that b—lab uk , the patrick, is that b—lab uk, the uk branch of this international

woke corporate movement , is woke corporate movement, is lobbying for something called the better business act. so it wants to pass an act of parliament whereby companies would be forced to change their objectives, change their purpose , to become more inclusive , to , to become more inclusive, to embrace what it calls not just equity, diversity and inclusion , but justice equity , diversity , but justice equity, diversity and inclusion or jedi for short. and my worry is i'll worry at the free speech union is that under a labour government where someone like keir starmer and his secretary whoever his business secretary whoever that is, will be quite sympathetic to corp sympathetic to the b corp movement. they could well pass this of parliament. this act of parliament. >> but can i ask why every company in britain can? can i ask why? so why bother about whether or not b corp likes you 7 whether or not b corp likes you ? does it matter? i mean, we've just done a report then, for example, with liam halligan about our economy and our economic growth and were economic growth and we were having at us compare to having a look at us compare to america and france. and of course, they have a lot of

energy, self sufficiency. we decided not to do that . a decided not to do that. a deliberate act of national self—harm that is now affecting every single one of us. but we get to maybe talk more about and virtue signal a bit more about net zero. is this just that we are going to have to accept that companies might make lower profits? they might be less efficient and they'll be deliberately employing worse efficient and they'll be delib

they argue, sort of on a more practical level. they don't say that it'll it'll it'll harm their workforce. they say we'll be able to attract better, brighter graduates , students who brighter graduates, students who care about the planet , who care care about the planet, who care about the social impact of a particular company's behaviour. so they think it will actually enable them to recruit a higher calibre of university graduate. and it may mean they can attract investment if they're a b corp registered certified company , registered certified company, they may be able to attract investment they otherwise investment that they otherwise can't ethical can't from these ethical investment funds. it's a bit like , but on steroids, right i >> -- >> okay. -_ >> okay. so it is a complete industry based around the primary focus being divest capacity, inclusion and all of that. and they think that that will be able to maximise their profits. i suspect that you left the best bit till last there, which is that they are now increasingly looking at getting investment from quotes and quotes, investors quotes, ethical investors and those will only at those people will only look at you you are a stonewall ally

you if you are a stonewall ally or some kind of b corp ally. but again, just to say now in practical terms , terms if you practical terms, terms if you happen to be a conservative, even just a moderate conservative who has tweeted something about thinking that a woman is a woman and a man is a man, and that there's very little in between , then you little in between, then you would run the risk. do you think, of falling foul of any b corp registered company ? i mean, corp registered company? i mean, i would argue that in terms of the race element of it, if you're a straight white man or a straight white woman, then that's racist ism and discrimination . but also that's racist ism and discrimination. but also in terms of your political views , terms of your political views, is this a soft takeover, the kind of which you would have thought you might need to be purged ? purged? >> well , i do purged? >> well, i do worry about people with conservative views at because certified companies, if they express those views, i mean, let's suppose that a b corp certified company has a

kind of trans inclusion at work policy which mandates the use of the preferred gender pronouns of trans employees . if you are trans employees. if you are someone with gender critical beliefs, if you're an orthodox christian or a practising muslim, you might not want to endorse gender identity, ideology by calling a biological male. she, her and i worry for those people in because certified companies would they be penalised might they end up losing their jobs at the moment if they were ? you could if they were? you could certainly challenge that under the act because gender the equality act because gender critical beliefs are protected beliefs . some critical beliefs are protected beliefs. some religious and philosophical beliefs enjoy protection the equality protection under the equality act. but my worry is that if the better business act is passed under the next government, that may be accompanied by a dilution of those workplace protections for people speech. so it might be that even though an employee who found themselves in trouble because they didn't take the conventional woke line on all

these issues would be able to protect themselves by appealing to worker protections under the equality act at the moment, they might be diluted if the better business act is passed by the next government. >> you know, the only the only good thing that will come out of this you and i will have this is that you and i will have no shortage stories to talk no shortage of stories to talk aboutin no shortage of stories to talk about in the years to come. as one by one by one, complete one by one by one, the complete and rac of the and utter hypocrite rac of the people who are inflicting this kind of onto gets kind of tosh onto us gets exposed out that exposed when we find out that some them aren't particularly some of them aren't particularly nice own wife , or that nice to their own wife, or that one them blacked up at one of them blacked up at university city. whether they take everywhere take private jets everywhere or they're or something take private jets everywhere or they're all or something take private jets everywhere or they're all of or something take private jets everywhere or they're all of this or something take private jets everywhere or they're all of this stuff mething take private jets everywhere or they're all of this stuff comesg , when all of this stuff comes out eventually, which it definitely will, these definitely will, because these people with these people who come up with these ideas practise what ideas very rarely practise what they anyway . we will they preach anyway. then we will have unfortunately have a field day. unfortunately in the meantime, we all just have suffer. but toby, thank have to suffer. but toby, thank you. young. is, you. toby young. there is, of course, general secretary of course, the general secretary of the union. right. the free speech union. right. loads on this story on our loads more on this story on our website , but get this at website, but you can get this at gbnews.com. fastest gbnews.com. it's the fastest growing website growing national news website in the country. analysis, big the country. best analysis, big opinion the latest opinion and all of the latest breaking they are

downing street to get the latest on the junior doctors strike. >> and still to come, nicola sturgeon's legacy is in tatters. we'll take a look at what's been another rough week for the former say former first minister, to say the least. actually apparently she to mum and dad's she fled to her mum and dad's anyway . right. can't take it anyway. right. we can't take it anymore . that's what health anymore. that's what health bosses are saying. bosses bosses are saying. health bosses have warned the nhs cannot take any disruption as junior any more disruption as junior doctors begin their latest four day strike with official figures released this week suggesting their 16 days of industrial action to date have already cost the nhs a whopping £1 billion. so this latest round of strikes could not come at at a worse time for patients who are often forgotten in all of this , aren't forgotten in all of this, aren't they the actual customers of the nhs? as nhs england announced yesterday, it has a waiting list of 7.6 million people, in case you're wondering. yes that is a record, meaning one person in every three households in england is now waiting for treatment and there is a massive

issue when it comes to people getting cancer diagnoses, which under normal circumstances would be treatable and very possibly survivable . all who are now survivable. all who are now dying as a result. here is what health secretary steve barclay had to say about the latest round of junior doctors strikes i >> -- >> of course, i stand ready to have discussions, ins with junior doctors in terms of other issues about their working conditions . but in terms of pay, conditions. but in terms of pay, we've made a fair and final offer. we've accepted in full the recommendation of the independent pay review body process, and that is why the bma should now call off their strikes. >> yes, indeed . well, i mean, we >> yes, indeed. well, i mean, we had a co—chair of the bma on the bbc earlier today, and they were asked why have junior doctors accepted pay deals north of the border and not south of the border? and they said, well, because we've got a different government. so that's just political, it? mean, political, isn't it? i mean, thatis political, isn't it? i mean, that is just political stuff. and you actually have and when you actually have a look the junior look as well at the junior doctors salaries and i'll talk

through these in just a second, they are actually better in england than they are north of the border where they're not striking. but let's to saint striking. but let's go to saint thomas's in london, thomas's hospital in london, speak to gb news political correspondent forster. correspondent catherine forster. catherine, thank you very much. great going on great stuff. what's going on where are then ? yes. so the where you are then? yes. so the bma are holding a rally here in whitehall this afternoon, just outside downing street . outside downing street. >> obviously, we're in the first day of a four day doctors strike and they are asking, of course for 35. what i'm joined now by dr. tal ellenbogen. he is in his fourth year of surgical training in nottingham . tal, thank you in nottingham. tal, thank you very much for talking to us. and the government have offered 8.8% as an average and they say that's a fair and final offer. yeah. what do you make of that ? yeah. what do you make of that? >> well, 8.8% is less than the rate of inflation for the past

year at 11. so it's another real terms pay cut imposed on us on top of 14 years of real terms, pay top of 14 years of real terms, pay cuts . pay cuts. >> what's happened here is that we've been stolen off £6 an houn we've been stolen off £6 an hour. steve barclay and rishi sunak are offering us £1.40. >> if a burglar took £6 off you and gave you £1.40 back, is it unreasonable to ask for the rest back and also, is it realistic to expect the nhs to run on the goodwill of doctors who are taking a pay cut year on year on year until doctors now are starting on not much above minimum wage ? if 100 grand of minimum wage? if 100 grand of debt to repay for medical school, it's cost the nhs already about £1 billion and nurses have settled for a lot less as of course have teachers i >> -- >> why do doctors think they're worth so much more in terms of the pay rise you're looking for? >> so it has cost the nhs over £1 billion, which is money the government are paying to sustain these strikes . all we're asking

these strikes. all we're asking for with that £6 an hour increase is £1 billion a year. they could have already paid it. so it shows it's not about affordability. it's purely about ideology . now, as for nurses affordability. it's purely about ideology. now, as for nurses and teachers , i can't speak for teachers, i can't speak for them. and they have the right to decide how they approach their pay- decide how they approach their pay. but it's very clear. you can see from an article in the financial times that doctors have had the biggest pay cuts of any public sector the any public sector workers. the financial times using a financial times using cpi in a different found that financial times using cpi in a diff average found that financial times using cpi in a diff average worker found that financial times using cpi in a diff average worker in found that financial times using cpi in a diff average worker in the nd that financial times using cpi in a diff average worker in the ukthat financial times using cpi in a diff average worker in the uk isit the average worker in the uk is down 3.5% on their pay in real terms, nurses are down 13, teachers slightly more doctors 24. so we've had our pay eroded by eight times the average worker . so while everyone is worker. so while everyone is struggling with the cost of living crisis and i empathise with every single viewer out there who's struggling , it's there who's struggling, it's clear pay cuts are clear that these pay cuts are driving doctors to leave the nhs , meaning of us can't get , meaning all of us can't get the that we want. the treatment that we want. >> we do have a national debt of £2.6 trillion. the government say they're very worried about pay say they're very worried about pay rises just fuelling

inflation in. do you have any sympathy with that view at all? i think it's an excuse to be fair, what happens here in terms of affordability. >> they talk about 2.6 trillion inches debt. we're asking for1 billion. it's a drop in the ocean. now we have to talk about can this country afford not to pay can this country afford not to pay doctors? we have got 2.6 million people off work due to illness, 7.6 on the waiting list. we've had conclusion from the financial times that it's costing the economy £16 billion a year. if the government likes supply side policies, surely investing in the health care of the nation by keeping doctors here and restoring our pay is the best supply side policy out there. as for inflation, it's a completely ridiculous argument . completely ridiculous argument. economists at the london school of economics in bloomberg all over have debunked the argument that public sector pay rises contribute to inflation. how can you have cost push inflation when got a product to when we haven't got a product to sell? us and we're sell? if you see us and we're paid £20 an hour, we'll charge you just like we charge you nothing. just like we charge you nothing. just like we charge you when paid £14 you nothing when we're paid £14 an hour. thank much for

an hour. thank you very much for talking to us. >> as you can see there , the >> so as you can see there, the doctors feel very strongly that they deserve a much bigger pay rise than the government is currently offering . they're due currently offering. they're due to ballot for a new mandate for six months at the end of this month. they feel confident they will get that. so it's looking like these strikes could continue well into next year. look catherine, i'm really sorry to do this. >> i hate doing interviews this way because it's very, very clunky. i know if that clunky. but i don't know if that chapis clunky. but i don't know if that chap is still there, but i just want, if possible , i'll just for want, if possible, i'll just for you to ask him . the co—chair of you to ask him. the co—chair of the junior doctors committee of the junior doctors committee of the bma today speaking to the bbc, he said the reason that they'd accepted the exact same pay they'd accepted the exact same pay deal in scotland was because there's a different government in scotland . so it is just about in scotland. so it is just about politic . it's not about money, politic. it's not about money, isn't it? doesn't he just hate the tories ? so the presenter is the tories? so the presenter is saying that a similar deal has been accepted in scotland and

the co—chair of the bma this morning were basically saying it's because it's a different government . government. >> is some of this the fact that lots of doctors just really don't like the conservative. i'm not here to support labour or the conservatives . the conservatives. >> i am not displaying any political views. the difference between us and the scottish government is one they have acknowledged the massive pay cuts that doctors have faced. two, they've offered 12.4, not 8.83. they have promised a minimum of inflation and additional pay rises to work to restore pay over the next few years. this government haven't even acknowledged us. the prime minister has said there's no more negotiations before he's ever stepped into the room. i think he's just burying his head in the sand until he gets voted out at the next election. in my opinion, that's cowardly. >> there you have it, >> so there there you have it, patrick. and the deal in scotland, there are differences. and this doctor at least says it's all about pay and

conditions, not about it. whoever is currently running the country. >> all right, catherine, thank you very much. >> catherine forster that who is, of course, gb news political correspondent. i'm just going to read out quickly very quickly some of the stats here about read out quickly very quickly somejuniore stats here about read out quickly very quickly somejunior doctorsiere about read out quickly very quickly somejunior doctors are about read out quickly very quickly somejunior doctors are paidt what junior doctors are paid in england what paid england versus what they're paid elsewhere the uk where they elsewhere in the uk where they have deals. okay. have accepted pay deals. okay. and we'll just see whether or not think be not we think this might be political foundation doctor, year england, £29,384. year one in england, £29,384. that's 26,000. in scotland , by that's 26,000. in scotland, by the way. 26,400. similar story in year to 34 grand in england, 32 800. in scotland. we go up again, 40,000 to 51,000. england, 34,000 to 40,000. in scotland . it goes on and on and scotland. it goes on and on and on. okay but one pay deal offered by a government that isn't the conservatives and one deal offered by a government thatis deal offered by a government that is the conservatives. two completely separate responses . completely separate responses. it's amazing, it, really, it's amazing, isn't it, really, how chap had the brass neck how that chap had the brass neck to stand there and say it wasn't ideological or political? meanwhile if you've meanwhile i don't know if you've got you know is got anyone who you know is waiting for cancer treatment at

crawford. stuart, thank you very much. will you be buying her book? >> well, i think i'll be reading it, patrick, to be honest. >> whether i'll buy it or not. another thing altogether, perhaps her publisher will send me a to copy review because i write quite a few book reviews over the year and i'd quite happily do hers. but i don't know if i'll be buying the hardback copy anyway. >> no. okay do you have any sympathy for her? she's you know, doing the old sympathy tour now the violin tour now with the tiny violin out it's been out saying, oh, it's been devastating. just want to devastating. i just want them to stop digging up and stop digging my garden up and investigating and my husband investigating me and my husband . been terrible. had . and it's been terrible. i had to to my mum and dad's to leave to my mum and dad's house. or do you think she brought this on herself? house. or do you think she brougthinkis on herself? house. or do you think she brougthink to>n herself? house. or do you think she brougthink to a herself? house. or do you think she brougthink to a large lf? house. or do you think she brougthink to a large extent she >> i think to a large extent she brought herself. i have brought it upon herself. i have met nicola and a couple occasions. i'm not her best pal by any stretch of the imagination, but i have a certain amount of sympathy for her she's been, you her because she's been, you know, the media spotlight know, under the media spotlight for time for considerable time and operation branch form the police scotland investigation into snp finances is now over two years

in the running and still no answers. so if i were writing a play answers. so if i were writing a play about scotland and paraphrasing your national bard , i'd perhaps be saying that something is rotten in the state of scotland without being specific. yeah >> yes indeed. i mean, there's rather a lot to be answered when it comes to nicola sturgeon and, you know, a variety of different things. and crucially, her husband.i things. and crucially, her husband. i mean, it's been a terrible week as well, hasn't it? you know, him apparently driving lost phones. >> lost sound to you, so i >> i've lost sound to you, so i can't answer. okay >> right. well, we'll >> all right. well, look, we'll work we'll work to get him back. but yeah, i mean, one of the interesting nicola interesting things about nicola sturgeon's is sturgeon's memoir, which is going deeply personal, going to be deeply personal, i remain unconvinced as to whether or a of this is going to or not a lot of this is going to be a of fiction. but it be a work of fiction. but it went to a bidding war with publishers. publishers were publishers. so publishers were trying to outbid each to trying to outbid each other to trying to outbid each other to try hold of the rights, try to get hold of the rights, essentially to nicola sturgeon's memoirs macmillan memoirs and pan macmillan has now landed the former first minister of scotland, nicola

sturgeon's personal sturgeon's deeply personal revealing in a nine revealing memoir in a nine publisher auction . so nine publisher auction. so nine different publishers were going at it to try to get hold of nicola sturgeon's memoir. and she's going to be obviously talking about all of her time that she did see quite a few prime ministers come and go. she did go around the block. but what is her legacy, though, what what is her legacy, though, do because this is do you think? because this is the isn't it, what with the problem, isn't it, what with nicola sturgeon's actual legacy be main objective was to be if her main objective was to get a scottish independence referendum, then that hasn't happened. if her second objective politics objective was to make politics seem place and to seem like a nicer place and to have more transparency and more accountability more accountability and more authenticity more ethical authenticity and more ethical behaviour, well, that is now massively under scrutiny, isn't it? because had it? because the police had a tent in her garden not so long ago and are huge question ago and there are huge question marks over the way that the snp gone about spending has gone about spending taxpayers money on things like vip luxury travel. i believe we now might be able to bring our esteemed guests back. thank you very, very much. yes, great to have you back on the show. of course, stuart. so, yes, stuart,

look what do you think will be in this memoir? because frankly, as far as i'm concerned, this is just diaries of a failed just the diaries of a failed politician and of politician and someone of questionable moral character. >> political careers end in failure and none perhaps as spectacularly as nicola sturgeon's has. i think more interesting is not what will be interesting is not what will be in the memoir, but what will not be in the memoir. and i would be quite keen, for example , that quite keen, for example, that she goes into some of the details of the alex salmond inquiry , the investigations into inquiry, the investigations into the finances , the arrest and the finances, the arrest and release without charge of her and her husband and colin beattie, the snp treasurer. but whether any detail in that will be forthcoming remains to be seen. but what i would seen. but that's what i would want to read about. >> do you think that she should actually this at the actually be doing this at the moment? mean are ongoing moment? i mean there are ongoing investigations. think the investigations. i think the scottish probably the scottish taxpayer, probably the british as whole, british taxpayer as a whole, certainly answers there. certainly wants answers there. it looks awful. everything looks awful north of the border. alex salmond is saying that she maybe

needs penod salmond is saying that she maybe needs period of silence. are needs a period of silence. are we owed a period of silence? nicola can i just nicola sturgeon can i just follow question as well? follow up a question as well? why getting away in the why is she getting away in the pubuc why is she getting away in the public eye with a lot of stuff that if a load of other politicians did, they wouldn't get away with? i'm sorry, but the question the scrutiny the question marks the scrutiny . if this was someone like boris johnson, they'd be getting absolutely hammered every single day. stop. nicola sturgeon's day. not stop. nicola sturgeon's on stage at the edinburgh fringe . well the tentacles of the snp get everywhere in scottish civil society and there's no doubt that the political press corps in particular has been cowed over the past, say, 10 to 15 years, because if you write something detrimental about the snp or any of its political leaders, then you're highly unlikely to get an interview ever again. unlikely to get an interview eveandain. unlikely to get an interview eveand that's happened before . >> and that's happened before. before, and it will happen again and until all such and again until all such stranglehold hold is broken. >> . i mean, that's >> okay. i mean, that's terrifying, isn't it? but yes , terrifying, isn't it? but yes, again, very, very revealing. there . stuart. thank you.

there we go. stuart. thank you. stuart crawford. that is stuart crawford. that who is political commentator, former snp i remain snp member. i remain unconvinced. as i was saying , unconvinced. as i was saying, about the authenticity of some of things that we may or may of the things that we may or may not be seeing in nicola sturgeon's but doubt we sturgeon's book. but no doubt we will it. could it will be digesting it. could it go the same way as spare? but could wales become the first nafion could wales become the first nation default , could wales become the first nation default, a nation to introduce default, a 20 an hour speed limit in 20 mile an hour speed limit in built up areas? we've been to westminster so this hour. westminster so far this hour. we've been to scotland. i'm taking you to wales in a second. we just need something on northern to the northern ireland to complete the set. patrick christys on set. but i'm patrick christys on gb we are britain's gb news and we are britain's news .

on. gb news. >> so further down the pecking order and this is a fascinating one, i'll be going in with this at the top of the next hour. actually, what are the consequences of mass uncontrolled immigration on an individual from germany ? he is individual from germany? he is worrying that they might start to see grooming gang style problems like we've had in rotherham, rochdale and frankly throw a dart at the map of the uk and you will probably find somewhere where a grooming gang has actually taken place . so has actually taken place. so we're going to be having a look at or not mass at whether or not mass uncontrolled immigration is making scandals making grooming gang scandals more likely, not just here, but right across europe. i'll be

joined by bolton for that joined by henry bolton for that as well. but in other news, drivers have been tying red fibbons drivers have been tying red ribbons to their cars to protest the new 20 mile an hour speed limit in wales. i absolutely love the welsh, the welsh have recently come out protesting big time against asylum seeker hotels . the welsh get up in arms hotels. the welsh get up in arms about lot of stuff and i think about a lot of stuff and i think i personally, englishman, i personally, as an englishman, i personally, as an englishman, i wish of people were i wish a lot of people were a bit more like the welsh actually. especially in actually. in fact, especially in the if we all the sense that if we all remember, i think i'm right in saying wales receive more in eu subsidies any other part of subsidies than any other part of the then voted to leave the uk and then voted to leave the uk and then voted to leave the european union in greater numbers than any other part of you funds tastic. you love it anyway branded as anyway. they've been branded as the version of the country's version of london's ulez. this is the 20 mile an hour zones across wales. london's ulez. this is the 20 milewelsh ur zones across wales. london's ulez. this is the 20 milewelsh governmentoss wales. london's ulez. this is the 20 milewelsh government decided s. london's ulez. this is the 20 milewelsh government decided to the welsh government decided to lower the limit from 30 miles an hour to 20 in built up areas to cut crashes, reduce noise at 21,000 people have signed a petition against the speed limit, claiming it would increase road rage. got the

welsh government says that the changes would save lives. well not if everyone gets so angry about it that they kill each other. of the senate for other. member of the senate for nonh other. member of the senate for north sam joins north wales sam rowlands joins me now. now, sam, thank you very much. in, much. they don't factor this in, do they think about do they, when they think about the and also saving the environment and also saving lives, is that if everyone's so angry the wheel of angry behind the wheel of their car they up getting out car that they end up getting out of car and fighting each of those car and fighting each other street over a other in the street over a 20 mile an hour speed limit. do they? >> well, the welsh are remarkable , oddly group of remarkable, oddly calm group of people as i'm sure you'll appreciate, patrick, i hope none people as i'm sure you'll apthat ate, patrick, i hope none people as i'm sure you'll apthat takesatrick, i hope none people as i'm sure you'll apthat takes place.i hope none people as i'm sure you'll apthat takes place. butpe none people as i'm sure you'll apthat takes place. but there re of that takes place. but there is a real anger, as you said , at is a real anger, as you said, at this 20mph implementation on top down diktat from the welsh government and the big issue also needs to be considered is the fact that it's going to cost our economy in wales around £45 billion because we see our delivery drivers having to drive more slowly our care workers having to drive more slowly, going to see people that they care for. the knock on effect is going to huge. going to be huge. >> no, it is absolutely. and again, this not the kind of

again, is this not the kind of thing maybe they should be thing that maybe they should be putting vote? putting to a public vote? because the old ulez because we'll out the old ulez thing now and again. and i thing every now and again. and i always is coming to always say this is coming to a town or city near you and it and it is. and then once it's come to town or the city, it will to the town or the city, it will probably come to the village. and it, this and before you know it, this kind of stuff is literally everywhere. and, you know, the welsh finding hard welsh are finding out the hard way 20 mile an hour way now about 20 mile an hour cities. is this the kind of thing the public should on? thing the public should vote on? >> would have thought >> yeah, you would have thought it such a sweeping change to it was such a sweeping change to where live their lives where people live their lives every single day. exactly. the sort thing expect sort of thing you expect a referendum at the very referendum on. at the very least, welsh government would argue elections argue that there was elections back was in their back in 2021. it was in their manifesto . and so people did manifesto. and so people did elect labour welsh government and so our next opportunity in the senate elections of course is i would have is 2026. and i would have thought would voting thought people would be voting very strongly against these implementation of 20mph by voting this labour government out here in wales. now indeed. >> and i just find it staggering if they managed to produce much evidence that the 20 mile an

hour issue is indeed going to save a load of lives and reduce crashes and reduce noise. i mean, is that is this just anecdotal ? anecdotal? >> i mean, there will be evidence somewhere you would have thought that driving much more is going to cause more slowly is going to cause people to drive more safely. but then the argument is, well, why not make it ten miles per hour? why why make it five why not? why not make it five miles hour? of course, miles per hour? of course, there's a balance risks and there's a balance of risks and everything we do, 30mph everything that we do, 30mph has been risk. we've been a balanced risk. we've accepted for decades across the united sometimes you united kingdom. sometimes you do wonder whether welsh government are things are just trying to do things differently sake of it, differently for the sake of it, to look like the to make themselves look like the do gooders across the united kingdom. it's going to kingdom. what it's going to do is hold back, even further is hold wales back, even further from it has been. let's from where it has been. let's not forget wales is the not forget that wales is the only of where the only area of the uk where the economy actually shrinking economy is actually shrinking and this is to going cause people situations even worse. >> that's a really interesting point that because mark drakeford has been very vocal about a load of issues, he's of course labour and you're saying

that it's the only area of the uk where the economy is shrinking. i know that the nhs in wales isn't doing particularly well. i mean it's not doing that well anywhere, is it? not doing it? but it's not doing particularly wales. and particularly well in wales. and is just another of is this just another example of putting green agenda ahead of putting a green agenda ahead of actual practical necessity for people's lives ? people's lives? >> it could. it could well be. but also, let's not forget keir starmer has pointed to wales and to mark drakeford as the first minister in wales, and he's used the line that wales is the blueprint for labour across the united kingdom. what does united kingdom. so what does that well, wales is the that mean? well, if wales is the blueprint, you're absolutely right, and pointing right, patrick, and pointing out that performs worse that nhs in wales performs worse than the rest of the uk , the than the rest of the uk, the economy is shrinking here in wales. if that's the blueprint for the rest of the united kingdom, then god help the rest of the country now. >> indeed. well look, i suppose good luck resisting it. sam rowlands of rowlands there, who is, of course, of the senate course, a member of the senate for wales . and like for north wales. and like i said, you know, is the kind said, you know, this is the kind of thing now that going to be

of thing now that is going to be happening. absolutely everywhere. know it, happening. absolutely everwillare. know it, happening. absolutely everwill have know it, happening. absolutely everwill have to know it, happening. absolutely everwill have to pay know it, happening. absolutely everwill have to pay everyyw it, you will have to pay every single time that use your single time that you use your car. other concern would be car. my other concern would be that an hour cities that once 20 mile an hour cities come and we extended come in and we have extended pedestrian we've got pedestrian zones and we've got cycle everywhere and ulez. cycle lanes everywhere and ulez. et et cetera. cetera et cetera. et cetera. et cetera . it then becomes very easy just to ban cars generally. to just to ban cars generally. and it becomes very easy to and then it becomes very easy to start restricting movements or you're allowing you're only allowing your car for certain amount time for a certain amount of time every single day. and got every single day. and i've got to theorists about every single day. and i've got to i'm theorists about every single day. and i've got to i'm not theorists about every single day. and i've got to i'm not kind eorists about every single day. and i've got to i'm not kind of'ists about every single day. and i've got to i'm not kind of goingiout every single day. and i've got to i'm not kind of going down it. i'm not kind of going down that route, but i am just saying, need to have saying, why do we need to have that kind of influence and control over our basic day to day movements? but look, before i inbox, some dorset i go into the inbox, some dorset beachgoers had very lucky beachgoers had a very lucky escape week after dodging escape this week after dodging a massive rockfall . so dorset massive rockfall. so dorset council uploaded this video, which i will play for you now, i believe so on the beach there. and then just a sheer cliff face wallop there it goes. people could have been serious , could have been serious, seriously hurt. i mean, killed wouldn't they really, if you were lying anywhere underneath that? in fact, it's a miracle that? in fact, it's a miracle that they weren't. and you look

at some the other cliffs at some of the other cliffs there and you think, well, i could them at any could happen to them at any moment. doubt that will have moment. no doubt that will have weakened well. dorset weakened it as well. dorset council warned of the council have warned of the dangers and dangers of rockfalls and landslips. authority landslips. the authority confirmed is currently confirmed west bay is currently closed incident. i'm closed due to the incident. i'm not that not surprised actually, that it's closed due to the incident. you know, i often like to think if we keep playing this you know, i often like to think if wei keep playing this you know, i often like to think if wei often ep playing this you know, i often like to think if wei often like laying this you know, i often like to think if wei often like to 'ing this you know, i often like to think if wei often like to think|is you know, i often like to think if wei often like to think i'd now, i often like to think i'd be brave in a situation be really brave in a situation like this if was there with my like this if i was there with my partner or if were there with partner or if we were there with with kids or something like that that there. go save that i'd be there. go save yourselves. i i would honestly, i my towel up i think be picking my towel up and it away from there, and legging it away from there, leaving everyone to just fend for themselves seconds . you for themselves in seconds. you never you're going never know how you're going to react you're those react until you're in those situations. i think i've just got time for a couple of emails by very, very quickly. got time for a couple of emails by lot very, very quickly. got time for a couple of emails by lot of very, very quickly. got time for a couple of emails by lot of kerfuffle very quickly. got time for a couple of emails by lot of kerfuffle ally quickly. got time for a couple of emails by lot of kerfuffle all overckly. a lot of kerfuffle all over this. junior doctors strike again, heard there from an again, i we heard there from an individual who is out on individual who who is out on strike, junior doctor in england saying that they whopping saying that they want a whopping great rise. that equates great big pay rise. that equates to region of to something in the region of around and it came after around 35. and it came after this morning. the co—chair of

the junior doctors section of the junior doctors section of the british medical association was asked outright why they had accepted a pay offer in scotland that was basically the same as the offer that english junior doctors are rejecting. and what they said on air was that it was because it's a different government in scotland, which makes it sound nakedly political, doesn't it? a lot of people very, very, very strongly reacted to this gb views the gbnews.com. patrick according to the according to the internet, the according to the internet, the average starting age of a junior doctor is between 23 and 27. it takes an average of ten years to complete the process . years to complete the process. so how can anyone at the age of 27 have 13 years of pay 27 have lost 13 years of pay that would have been 14 years old. is a really good point old. this is a really good point as well, isn't it? when junior doctors are saying in the last ten years we've had our wages cut by this amount? well they personally have they? personally haven't, have they? i suppose in relative suppose it's in relative terms. and ten years ago that and was it ten years ago that they decided they were they decided that they were going go into going to definitive go into medicine? my with anyone medicine? my point with anyone in medical community who

in the medical community who does do need does this is whilst we do need to lives and whilst it will to save lives and whilst it will be you were all happy at be nice if you were all happy at the same time, you can google the same time, you can google the scale. out there. the pay scale. it is out there. it not be a shock to you it should not be a shock to you and i am convinced that what we are with are seeing, especially with junior doctors , is people that junior doctors, is people that were forced into professions because their parents thought it would symbol would be a nice status symbol for they thought they for them. they thought they would end up load of would end up with a load of money. they realised that actually a little bit naff actually it's a little bit naff and all too they don't and all too often they don't want have to deal with the want to have to deal with the real consequences of real societal consequences of some issues we've some of the issues that we've got this country. they got in this country. and they decide would like more decide that they would like more money but we go. money for it. but there we go. that's just my views. vaiews@gbnews.com. coming up though uncontrolled though mass uncontrolled migration. talking of which, are we consequences? we ready for the consequences? i will speaking henry bolton we ready for the consequences? i wijust speaking henry bolton we ready for the consequences? i wijust smoment henry bolton we ready for the consequences? i wi just smoment aboutry bolton we ready for the consequences? i wi just smoment about allyolton we ready for the consequences? i wi just smoment about all of :on in just a moment about all of that as well as a german politician who says that they are fearing an increase grooming gangs as a result. plus police heavy handedness on show an autistic 16 year old is arrested in a viral tiktok video. but whose side are you on? i'll play

illegal immigration . and from illegal immigration. and from where i'm sitting, henry, that's not rocket science. a it's already happening . actually, already happening. actually, we've seen that a lot in germany , in places cologne, for , in places like cologne, for example . but b, if you do happen example. but b, if you do happen to import a load of young men with a troubled background from countries where their values and attitudes towards women are not what ours are, it is almost an inevitability, isn't it ? inevitability, isn't it? >> i think it is. >> i think it is. >> patrick yes. look without judging who's right and who's wrong in terms of, in cultural terms, different societies have evolved in different ways. they have different value sets , even have different value sets, even if they're only subtly different . but when you sort of look at it on a global scale, but when you bring them together, when you bring them together, when you get a certain tension or friction in a difference, there that, you know, without a program of assimilating people into to the receiving culture,

you are going to have problems of this sort. >> and you know, it is inevitable. there are numerous organisations around the world, including the organisation for security and cooperation in europe, 57 countries, 57 governments. >> it's not well heard of, but it's a diplomatic organisation. but the world's largest security organisation works on behind the scenes on trying to prevent into tension and conflict inside states , but also between states. states, but also between states. >> now they recognise that changing the demographic mix of a of a community, he very quickly creates tension, but it also creates tension because of the difference between cultures. >> it's inevitable. patrick and it has been. >> it's been something that has been brushed under the carpet and or put in the too difficult box, if you like , for, for years box, if you like, for, for years now . how. >> now. >> it's something that we must tackle if we're going to deal with this , i suppose with this, i suppose straightforwardly , if we're all straightforwardly, if we're all being honest, are women more or

less safe on the streets of britain than and right across europe as a result of the illegal migration crisis ? illegal migration crisis? >> i mean, are they more or less safe? >> you know, patrick, you know, that's a i think one has to say no , no, they're not. no, no, they're not. >> they're less safe . and that >> they're less safe. and that is because, you know, as you know, i have worked in various parts of the world where there are very, very different perceptions of the role of women in society. there's a very , very in society. there's a very, very different set of values in terms of how they're treated both in the home and in public. >> and so we are importing people who have been brought up in those cultures. >> that is the norm for them. so it is inevitable that we're going to have some problems of this sort. you know, a lot of a lot of people , whether they're lot of people, whether they're legitimate immigrants or whether they've entered illegally,

aren't are going to behave decently. >> they're going to try and adopt the, if you like, the nafive adopt the, if you like, the native ways, our ways here. but there are others who don't want to they don't see why they have to they don't see why they have to change. >> and nobody's encouraging them to change. >> in fact, to a large extent the opposite is true. when you look organisations like for look at organisations like for calais, who would argue that they have every right to live in their in their culture with their way, in their culture with their way, in their culture with their that's in our their values, that's in our society , well, you know, that society, well, you know, that just fuels the problem. >> well, it does indeed . i'll >> well, it does indeed. i'll tell what i think bad tell you what i think is bad apart from of it, really, is apart from all of it, really, is that got german that we've got german politicians now pointing at the uk and using us as the example of the thing that they don't want to happen . right. you know, want to happen. right. you know, and they go look at rotherham, look at rochdale, look at all of this stuff. mean, the this stuff. i mean, the european, the continental europeans are talking about child sex abuse scandals that we've had in this country and

saying we don't want to be like them. >> well, and of course, they will do. >> i would do if i was in their in their shoes. but part of the problem here, patrick, is that we for so long i mean, the rotherham cases were they were swept under the carpet. >> there was a sort of big effectively a cover up on that. we see it daily at the moment where there is a failure to apply where there is a failure to apply the rule of law. there is apply the rule of law. there is a failure in social services, there's a failure in policing, there's a failure in policing, there's a failure in policing, there's a failure in the courts . and the more that happens is the more we are demonstrating to people that this is behaviour that we can tolerate and that sets the wrong example. and i think what's happening in germany with the afd, what they're saying is look at what's happenedin they're saying is look at what's happened in the uk. they're saying is look at what's happened in the uk . we have got happened in the uk. we have got to make sure that here we don't make the same mistakes here in germany and that means if i was advising them, i'd say, look, you know, do not tolerate the values that you cannot accept in your society being embedded in

your society being embedded in your society. do not tolerate them from the word go because we did, because we have got a group of people in the uk who actually say, well, these poor people, you've got to understand them. you've cater for that. you've got to cater for that. you've got to cater for that. you've to accommodate it . you've got to accommodate it. no, laws in this no, we have laws in this country. they need to be enforced because if they're not, then these things get worse. and indeed, reputation as a indeed, our reputation as a nation, as a society is degraded i >> -- >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and we'll all just have to suckit >> and we'll all just have to suck it up as well. you know, how many times do we have to have conversations like this? and then when something happens and say, well, we did and then we'll say, well, we did kind warn this might happen. >> there's no excuse it. >> there's no excuse for it. patrick there's no excuse for it. >> we've got laws. they should be enforced. there's no there's no by the police, the no buts by the police, by the courts, and our politicians need to their to be demonstrating their dissatisfaction are to be demonstrating their dissenforced.1 are not enforced. >> no, agree. the other side >> no, i agree. the other side to as well is not just to this as well is not just about issues. when it comes to women and girls, but it's also issues , foreign issues now issues, foreign issues now playing out on the streets of britain, but in europe as a

whole. and if you are seeing people from all over africa and all over the middle east not actually coming here because they want to seek asylum or refuge, but coming here for economic reasons, then that also does mean that they are importing all of the societal , importing all of the societal, tribal, religious , political tribal, religious, political problems that they have that are absolutely festering in that part of the world over here as well. and so we can end up very quickly and very easily with people having arguments that originated in parts of the middle east playing out on the streets of birmingham, say, or or indeed, the case of or indeed, in the case of germany , munich whatever, germany, munich or whatever, which nothing to do with us. which is nothing to do with us. it's not our problem at all. but we will have living it. we will have to be living it. >> absolutely. there are >> absolutely. look, there are conflicts world where conflicts around the world where you look at you can look at turkey and the kurds, the turkish state and the kurdish people. you can look at you can look at hindus and muslims in india. you can look at the pakistani indian situation in all of when you bring in

communities , immigrant communities, immigrant communities, immigrant communities from those countries and they are living in close proximity to each other of course, those tensions runs back in their home regions , are going in their home regions, are going to start playing out here. that is, you know, it's a no brainer here. >> um, and yet and i first raised this patrick, over 25 years ago when i saw it playing out in the communities in reading. >> and i was trying to raise it and i was told i was fear mongering and so on. >> no , no, this is just the >> no, no, this is just the reality . reality. >> and if you don't as a government realise that , accept government realise that, accept that, and then come up with strategies for managing it, that, and then come up with strategies for managing it , then strategies for managing it, then they're going to happen . they're going to happen. >> it's a no brainer. >> it's a no brainer. >> and then who suffers? what suffers then is the rule of law. what suffers then is our policing. what suffers then is our courts and what suffers are our courts and what suffers are our communities. and you know, whether regardless of the gender or or the ethnicity of that

community, those tensions are absolutely unarguably harmful . absolutely unarguably harmful. >> they are just one more with you as well. you mentioned people living in close quarters. i couldn't let you go without talking about today's bibby stockholm fast. no, i said it before. i'll say it again. i was walking into work. i got a notification saying there, evacuate the barge. and i thought, obviously are. thought, obviously they are. i mean, something else mean, obviously something else is happen. know, is going to happen. you know, i thought maybe initially it would have on fire, but no, have been on fire, but no, someone hadn't checked the water. gone. water. supposedly and it's gone. it legionella in it didn't sink. legionella in there. what do you there. what do you what do you make of this? is fawlty towers on sea? do you think we've had to the people? to evacuate the 30 odd people? we somehow get onto we managed to somehow get onto the course is. the barge of course it is. >> i mean, it would be funny if it wasn't so radical. yes. >> um , we've said this before, patrick. >> i've said it repeatedly. this whole thing is this accommodation situation is an exercise in firefighting by the home office. there is no

strategic thinking or planning here. and in fact, what we're seeing with the bibby stockholm is a failure, not just of strategic planning, but of ordinary, straightforward logistical planning. look you know, this was , first of all, know, this was, first of all, delayed by by a failure to get the relevant fire inspections done. the relevant fire inspections done . now we've got a failure done. now we've got a failure here of waiting to make sure that all the hygiene inspections are done before putting people on the barge . you know, it's it on the barge. you know, it's it beggars belief that whoever the home office has got doing this has has failed. so hugely. now, is it civil servants? is it a contractor ? i think we should know. >> you know, i think it makes me think seriously, henry, you know, for all this talk now about about the size of the backlog , you know, 170 odd backlog, you know, 170 odd thousand people, and then i look at errors like this, which you've said , which is not you've said, which is not getting a fire safety check, as far as we can tell, and quite

possibly not checking the water right . and i think actually, if right. and i think actually, if this this lot of running, this lot are in charge of, it's no, it is no wonder we are where we are. and it's also and it's also no wonder that the lawyers are having an absolute field day, being able to, you know, put stick spokes in the wheel of our immigration strategy because if you were that way inclined, you would be looking at this mess now and thinking, i am very easily going to able to pick easily going to be able to pick holes something. dig holes in something. if i dig a little bit, i will find a way that my client can win. but how many? have to go, many? we're going to have to go, i'm afraid. how many? bolton thank very, much. it's thank you very, very much. it's always everybody. always failing everybody. >> patrick. >> patrick. >> it's we're failing everybody. >> patrick. >> ithere�*re failing everybody. >> patrick. >> ithere�*re failirhenryybody. >> patrick. >> ithere�*re failirhenry thank yes. there we go. henry thank you henry bolton, now you very much. henry bolton, now former leader of of former leader of ukip, of course. right. loads still course. right. loads more still to is, course, as to come there is, of course, as well pressure for rishi well that pressure for rishi sunak enacting the push sunak to start enacting the push back policy. but we covered that a bit yesterday just a little bit yesterday just want to a bit on gb news to fill you in a bit on gb news campaign because have been campaign because we have been campaigning to stop the uk becoming society. becoming a cashless society. the campaign

>> join the live desk on gb news. the people's channel. britain's news . news. the people's channel. britain's news. channel >> still to come, a royal reshuffle. and could prince henry be deported back to the uk under a republican president? if that doesn't make you want to go out and vote for joe biden, that doesn't make you want to go out and vote forjoe biden, if out and vote for joe biden, if you live in the states, then i don't know what will. but it's the case of an autistic girl arrested by police for making an alleged homophobic remark and it's a massive it's prompted, well, a massive series complaints, a huge series of complaints, a huge amount online. amount of controversy online. and what, really and i tell you what, it's really divided. you the viewers as well. some people have been emailing in gbviews@gbnews.com. say completely emailing in gbviews@gbnews.com. say police's completely emailing in gbviews@gbnews.com. say police's ctheyetely emailing in gbviews@gbnews.com. say police's cthey do ly the police's side. they do a very difficult job. walk a mile in their shoes and you'll see what from what happens. that's from jean.

and then literally the next one underneath that is this is an absolute we should absolute disgrace. we should sack the lot them. so swings sack the lot of them. so swings and roundabouts. but here's the video. make of it. video. see what you make of it. and we'll take from and then we'll take it from there, shall if you've not there, shall we? if you've not already it. warning now, already seen it. a warning now, apparently, what apparently, though, that what you're you may you're about to see, you may consider distressing what you clenching fist. clenching your fist. >> go away from my teenage daughter. with you? daughter. what is up with you? you're with you're summat wrong with you. she the police she didn't aim it at the police officer. homophobic remarks at my it's not a homophobic my mother. it's not a homophobic remarks, she said. i think she's a lesbian. like nana . if a lesbian. like. like nana. if you bully people, you you want to bully people, you just. you just get one of them badges there. that's what you do. caitlyn where does it go? right over there . she's right over there. she's autistic. she don't like people touching her. she will have a meltdown . she won't come out. meltdown. she won't come out. she's got autism and lisa so she can come out . can come out. >> yeah. i mean, it's grim, isn't it? it's grim all round, really. so this is a 16 year old autistic girl. she was being detained by seven officers inside her home in leeds and then outside it as well because they dragged her out. it's

understood that she told her mother that one of the police officers like her officers looked like her grandmother, who is a grandmother, i think, who is a lesbian, a wasn't initially, clearly. but there we go . the clearly. but there we go. the teenager was arrested on suspicion of homophobic public order at west order offences at west yorkshire. police says the yorkshire. police says that the video provides a very limited snapshot of the incident. i'm joined former met police joined now by former met police detective chief inspector mike neville. look, mike, thank you very are on this very much. where are you on this then? people are saying then? some people are saying this an absolute disgrace and this is an absolute disgrace and that the police officers should be sacked and well, what's my take on this? >> the first thing is the law, because the law says that the pubuc because the law says that the public order act doesn't apply in dwellings. so if she said this remark in her house, then there is no offence. you can't be prosecuted. so it's as simple as there are. it's not an offence. and so the arrest is unlawful . so if you have an unlawful. so if you have an argument in your house, the pubuc argument in your house, the public order act is to deal with offences in public and it's not in a public place, it's in a house. that's the first thing.

the second thing is my, my daughter is diagnosed as autistic and they simply say things as they see them. so if the woman looked like a if they do a pc look like a lesbian grandmother, then that's just a statement of fact . and the statement of fact. and the courts have ruled that police cannot be insulted by these things because as a police officer, you get used to being called a lot worse things than looking like a lesbian grandmother. and i think, thirdly, you know, we're entitled to ask why is the seven police officers there ? the police officers there? the detection rate in west yorkshire of burglaries is around 5. so five out of 100 burglaries are solved. one out of 100 thefts is solved. one out of 100 thefts is solved and sexual offences are not solved. and so i think the pubuc not solved. and so i think the public have got some questions to ask here and when you look at it, when there's a comment made that the mother says , is my that the mother says, is my daughter's autistic and somebody says, i don't care, well, yeah, well, that's that's it, isn't it ? >> 7- >> yeah. 7_ >> yeah. yeah

7 >> yeah. yeah well, ? >> yeah. yeah well, they should care, obviously . let me just for care, obviously. let me just for the sake of argument here, put the sake of argument here, put the other side up to an extent which is supposedly a family member of the 16 year old has called the police to say that she's been drinking and she's going to come to harm in leeds city centre police have turned up and brought her home for her own welfare. then obviously something's happened. that girl may actually be quite drunk in that video as well, which obviously we can't tell now. but given the nature of the reason for the call, it's reasonable to expect that maybe she is police have a very tough job. could you see maybe is this something that might if you're might happen if you're absolutely at wits end and absolutely at your wits end and then, know, drag this then, you know, you drag this girl screaming back girl kicking and screaming back in and she turns around and calls a lesbian, you know, calls you a lesbian, you know, i've no doubt that that's what happened. >> the police initially did a good job. you know, they've they've not detained or arrested. they've her arrested. they've taken her home. practical home. and that's good practical policing. then why have policing. but then why have seven officers turned up? and my guessis seven officers turned up? and my guess is that things have been

said that have wound said in the car that have wound somebody things gone somebody up and things have gone wrong. then the final straw, wrong. and then the final straw, this this remarks made somehow sometimes you've got to be big about it and say, look, we're really sorry about this. this was wrong. we shouldn't have arrested the girl . and then and arrested the girl. and then and most of the public, if you say, look, i'm really sorry, this shouldn't have happened, they will that. but will move on from that. but yeah, issuing official statements, quoting statements, you know, quoting the public order act, when any officer their salt knows officer worth their salt knows that can't arrest people in that you can't arrest people in their public order act their house of public order act offences. being an offences. the mind being an assistant constable in assistant chief constable in quote it is simply not quote in that it is simply not good enough. say you're sorry. this not good. and the people this is not good. and the people of west yorkshire deserve better. robbers , better. burglars, robbers, thieves and rapists should be being . well, not 16 being arrested. well, not 16 year old who says year old girls. who says something a lesbian? something looks like a lesbian? now, quite. >> as it stands, there >> i mean, as it stands, there are absolutely no winners in this situation because i think the bit the parents are copping it a bit onune the parents are copping it a bit online because clearly a 16 year old has gone out well, old girl has gone out well, according reports, has gone old girl has gone out well, acc

they've got to be brought home by the police and then the police have made a right horlicks as well. now horlicks of it as well. and now we're this situation and the we're in this situation and the nation's about so nation's talking about it. so yeah, great day out yeah, not, not a great day out really for anyone concerned. i just wonder if it speaks to something bit, a bit broader something a bit, a bit broader though. that though. mike which is that sexuality as a kind of protected thing, especially in our police forces, if that police officer forces, if that police officer for who no doubt has to deal with loads of stuff every single day, a teenager who has made some comment about the way that she looks right, and that is deemed to a gender based deemed to have a gender based lgb based connotation to it . and lgb based connotation to it. and then that has resulted in a 16 year old being hauled out of her home and autistic 16 year old or hauled out of her home whilst the other officer stands the other officer just stands there their folded there with their arms folded like this and no apology. it's not not a bit of a concern. does it not indicate that the lgbtq+ kind of agenda has really got in there at the heart of our police force? >> i think, patrick, you're right. and it's not just lgbt,

it's also it's also racism and stuff. so saying something racist is no worse than committing a murder. it would seem in some people's eyes. and what you have is a whole series of wokery. so you have sussex and surrey police issuing some guidance today that you know, you'll be booted out of the police if you question another colleague's gender. and i'm sure that somebody in the police, they think that's a really will release this. it's really good release this. it's a really good idea. public will get idea. the public will get on side in an side but they live in an absolute bubble. they don't realise the public realise that what the public really the to really wants is the police to make them safe on the street, whether gay straight whether they're gay or straight , black or white or whatever else. and just a state of else. and it's just a state of mind within the police that that wokery triumphs over everything . the whole. if you look at the senior officers, when i joined half of them were ex—army and the other half were probably university graduates. now they're all the same ilk. they're all ex university graduates, and they'll talk about diverse and the wonderfulness of it. but there's

no diversity of thought . they no diversity of thought. they all think the same things , and all think the same things, and no doubt they would have thought that calling somebody looking like your lesbian grandmother, that's a really serious thing. but taking burglary or robbery seriously, that's it is. it's endemic in the police and it needs to be flushed out. yeah, you're right. >> you look at some of the things that people don't get prosecuted for or we do prosecuted for or we can't do that because that and that because of this, that and the and then you end up the other. and then you end up with i mean, i'm just laughing because you because it's ridiculous, you know, very for know, i feel very sorry for everybody involved, but thank you much, mike. great to you very much, mike. great to chat. former met police detective there, detective chief inspector there, mike that case mike neville. just on that case as i said, it's really as yes, like i said, it's really divided opinion now. to divided opinion now. still to come, loads, loads of come, between loads, loads of stuff and 6:00, stuff between now and 6:00, including charles's latest including king charles's latest royal reshuffle. yes, prince harry andrew, they've harry and andrew, they've been pushed further down the pecking order. harry's order. plus, prince harry's deportation tell deportation risk. i'll tell you what, it's only a risk what, i think it's only a risk for us. we really want him for us. do we really want him back? and tech battle for the back? and a tech battle for the ages. this isn't a joke. the latest musk and mark latest on elon musk and mark zuckerberg's fight it and the

south east england , for example. south east england, for example. but quite quickly the cloud builds and showery areas of rain move into scotland , northern move into scotland, northern ireland, northwest england , west ireland, northwest england, west wales. so showers and longer spells of rain really towards the northwest. fewer showers towards the east and some sunny spells in between . a breezy day, spells in between. a breezy day, however. so that's going to make it feel a bit cooler compared with the last few days into sunday morning. again, a sunny start for many showers. get going quite quickly. and once again , the showers will be again, the showers will be focussed towards the north—west of the country with drier conditions towards the south—east, some heavier and more persistent rain on monday drying up again tuesday by by drying up again on tuesday by by a brighter outlook with boxt solar >> proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> well, prince harry and andrew have fallen down the pecking

order once again as king charles announces his big royal reshuffle. so prince william has been given command of his brother's old army unit, which must sting a bit for harry, mustn't it? whilst kate has taken over one of the roles held by andrew before he returned them to the late queen amid his civil trial . let's get stuck civil trial. let's get stuck into this now with royal correspondent and writer michael cole . it's not the only story in cole. it's not the only story in town as well. harry's deportation promises to be absolute . but michael, absolute gold. but michael, first first, then the first things first, then the royal reshuffle. what do you make of it? royal reshuffle. what do you ma well, it? royal reshuffle. what do you ma well,it? royal family get >> well, the royal family get together every now and then and they hand out these they they hand out these military ranks and honours and titles and patronages badges, rather like sharing out the smarties or the children's birthday. and it's a popular thing because it reinforces local connections with the area. so prince william is connected with raf valley, where he learned to be a very effective search and rescue helicopter

pilot and his wife , the princess pilot and his wife, the princess of wales , to raf coningsby , her of wales, to raf coningsby, her paternal grandfather was quite a distinguished pilot . in fact, he distinguished pilot. in fact, he flew at one time with the duke of edinburgh around south america. so there are these local connections, but the king is not about above bagging a big one for himself. he's going to be the colonel in chief of the royal scots dragoon guards. they were the famous scots greys who charged at waterloo famously . so charged at waterloo famously. so this is how it goes on. but you've mentioned what's happened to poor harry. of course , it's to poor harry. of course, it's the royal family he doesn't take prisoners. >> they don't act immediately. >> they don't act immediately. >> but then they don't forget and they play for keeps. so on the royal website, the magic letters, hrh his royal highness have now been removed and as a prefix to prince harry's name . prefix to prince harry's name. now that may not mean much to you or me or most of the people

watching this, but in royal circles , hrh is big medicine. circles, hrh is big medicine. anne and harry will know that because he knew what happened with his mother the very instant she received her decree. absolute divorce from her husband . she lost her hrh and husband. she lost her hrh and incidentally, i'm quite sure if and when king william becomes king william, the prince of wales succeed as his father, king charles, i'm sure that one of the first things he will do will be to restore posthumously the letters. hrh before his mother's name . so these things mother's name. so these things are important in royal circles, not so important outside, but the military who are involved with them do value it and do enjoy it . and it means that they enjoy it. and it means that they get to see the royal personage at the annual dinners and big parades. >> um, well , there's also been >> um, well, there's also been renewed calls by republican candidate s and politicians in the united states of america to have another little look at prince harry's visa and see

whether or not they should be deported him over historic drug use. so if a republican wins the next presidential election in america , we may well have to america, we may well have to accept prince harry back holac is it time to remove his passport now ? passport now? >> it's a very serious matter because if you read his ill judged book, spare , albeit that judged book, spare, albeit that it's the biggest selling autobiography ever. i mean, it's replete, it's littered with with references to his drug taking, smoking weed and taking cocaine and not making liking it much, taking hallucinated substances. now, this is prima facie evidence that he's a drug taker and of course, when you go to america, which i know you've been to, i've probably been to america a hundred times, is a very exhaustive well, in fact, there's two forms. you have to fill it fill in, and it asks you about felonies. well, taking class a drugs is felonious . and

class a drugs is felonious. and whether he declared that on his initial application to go to america , it remains to be seen. america, it remains to be seen. the record is being kept under tight lock and key, but it's interesting, isn't it? we've got the situation where the late king second son, prince andrew, cannot go to america without without risking very seriously risking arrest . and there we see risking arrest. and there we see him walking along beside the bishop, but he can't go there without probably having his collar felt by the nypd or wherever he arrives. yeah because of its past indiscretions, the fbi wanting to talk to him about allegations that have been made, never proven . but they're they're proven. but they're they're still on the record . still on the record. >> ed yeah. no, you make a really good point, actually, which is that, you know, harry might be deported and andrew can't go even if he wanted to. so, yes, normal family , of so, yes, normal family, of course. normal family. look, michael , thank you very much.

michael, thank you very much. great to have you on the show. is michael cole, who is the royal correspondent and writer. coming up , a royal correspondent and writer. coming up, a battle of the ages . get this, elon musk off of twitter or axe as it now is, apparently. i don't know about you , but on my phone, i keep you, but on my phone, i keep thinking i've deleted twitter because i'm i can't keep up with this new symbol. having said that, twitter nearly deleted me for a day, didn't they? so there you go. mark zuckerberg off you go. and mark zuckerberg off of instagram, meta. you go. and mark zuckerberg off of gettingstagram, meta. you go. and mark zuckerberg off of getting serious, meta. you go. and mark zuckerberg off of getting serious about. they're getting serious about their fight and you will not believe the location that they've picked. this is i hope this happens because we will have to watch. i'm patrick christys on gb news,

people's. channel >> get ready for this . the fight >> get ready for this. the fight of the century. okay zuck versus musk , as it's just been musk, as it's just been confirmed that the tech titans will fight each other in an epic location in italy. so x, which is twitter really, isn't it, boss? elon musk had spoken to italy's culture minister about organising an ancient rome themed charity event, but adding to the uncertainty around the gladio style fight, the minister, the minister, has ruled out rome and the colosseum as the location for the event. but musk and zuckerberg have been egging each other on to this mixed martial arts cage

match since june. now tech journalists will gear joins me now. so look what do we know? so elon musk has tweeted that the fight is on it's an epic location and it clearly is going to be some kind of gladiatorial event. >> well, i had a sleep this afternoon, patrick, from about 2 pm. and when you're producer got hold of me at five, i thought i was having some sort of cheese dream. i didn't think this was ever going to come true. what we've actually had until this stage is an awful lot of talk from elon musk and very little from mark zuckerberg . the little from mark zuckerberg. the mark zuckerberg ones have been the one liners and the the quiet one liners and the little put downs . but the little put downs. but the reality here and i can tell reality is here and i can tell you this first, i'm not i'm a lover, not a fighter. but with this situation , we are going to this situation, we are going to find elon musk will be choked out by mark zuckerberg in 17 seconds and will probably wet himself in front of a global audience . audience. >> because the thing is, right

that mark zuckerberg, apart from the completely scandalous and untrue allegations that he is in fact an alien , is actually fact an alien, is actually a fighter, isn't he? he does do a lot of things like jiu jitsu and, you know, actual martial arts . so he is going to batter arts. so he is going to batter elon musk, isn't he ? elon musk, isn't he? >> he has an absolute laser focus in everything he does. why that is, he thought it was a he thought it was a good idea to learn chinese. so he now speaks fluent mandarin. and he also speaks another, you know , speaks another, you know, another chinese language version of chinese, too. so this is a man that studies things, fastidiously . he's been working fastidiously. he's been working really, really hard on getting ready for this. elon musk made the joke that what he might do is do the walrus and sit on top of mark zuckerberg as a result of mark zuckerberg as a result of this. but where the two differ, i think elon musk is making a lot of jokes and a lot of play out this, but i'm of play out of this, but i'm pretty mark zuckerberg pretty confident mark zuckerberg will to show him who's boss

will want to show him who's boss and will want to show him in and he will want to show him in and he will want to show him in a kind of clear a really kind of clear and definitive that he's if this definitive way that he's if this is fight, the two of is a fight, one of the two of them going to win. and that's them is going to win. and that's it's as simple as that. what it's as simple as that. but what is interesting, for patrick, anybody looking at elon anybody looking at this, elon musk one doing all the musk is the one doing all the running he's the running at the moment. he's the one that it's going one suggesting that it's going to be in italy. the one to be in italy. he's the one that suggesting it's a gladiatorial mark gladiatorial theme. mark zuckerberg either training to zuckerberg is either training to kick kick musk's butt or he's doing some other work, whereas elon this has become his elon musk, this has become his life. that's the challenge here. >> we live in a very strange world. well, don't we, where you and i national news are and i on national news are currently talking? admittedly, it's the and finally feature on a friday afternoon but we are talking about it two billionaires of the tech world. some of the most powerful people in the world in a sense fighting each other in italy because for no reason , for no reason and no reason, for no reason and this is this is national news. one of them sends things to spacex . the other one allegedly spacex. the other one allegedly comes from spacex. it is it is

an odd way of doing business. is there actually going to be some serious consequences to this, though? because at the moment, i think musk beats zuck on a few things like threads. hasn't been a massive success, has it? which which zuckerberg no threads has been threads has been a huge success. >> just not a huge. yeah just not a huge success in your mind. it's quicker. it's got to the position it's in far quicker than any other social network. and in terms of performance, it's still outperforming any social network. within its first month. now the numbers have gone back significantly from where they were a week in, but if you look at his performance against any other social network at month it's absolutely month one, it's absolutely crushing this is the crushing it. but this is the world's richest right in world's richest man right in elon musk. how the hell do you ensure something like this is a fight? happens he gets fight? what happens if he gets seriously injured in in an incident? it has to be. i think it has to almost be like a comedy fight, like some of the ones that, know, muhammad

ones that, you know, muhammad ali the japanese wrestler ali fought the japanese wrestler in the in the the 1970s. and in the in the in the 1970s. and there were all other there were all sorts of other silly challenges like that. you have wonder serious have to wonder just how serious this is going this is going to be. zuckerberg will be. but, mark zuckerberg will want it properly. he will want to do it properly. he will want to do it properly. he will want to do it properly. he will want to raise for money the foundation that him and his wife, and his wife operate wife, him and his wife operate a charitable foundation. and i'm not sure what elon musk, not really sure what elon musk, what skin in the game elon musk has genuinely has got here, but genuinely believe zuckerberg has the potential to choke him out in 17. >> i mean, 17.— >> i mean, as 17. >> i mean, as someone as someone and might you will as and this might shock you will as someone who occasionally lets their with them their mouth run away with them at times i can empathise with elon musk talking himself into a situation that he might later regret, but will, thank you very, very much. great to have you on the show. great to have your insight and the insight into your personal life, which is you take a three hour is that you take a three hour nap in the middle of the day, mate. it's the kind of lifestyle that people like only that people like me can only dream of. guy out at dream of. well, guy out there at tech. journalist. joining tech. journalist. right. joining me michelle dewberry me now is michelle dewberry dewbs& up next. you all
