league is being taken out from underneath it. >> i was very, very shocked because it's in the right place for people to shop and it has very good stuff. the staff are very good stuff. the staff are very friendly and i think they've got a good range of stuff that they sell. and i'm just very sad that it's closing i >> -- >> two men >> two men have >> two men have been stabbed in a homophobic attack outside a nightclub in south west london. they were targeted while standing outside the venue on clapham high street last night. both were treated in hospital and later discharged . and police and later discharged. and police are searching for the suspect . are searching for the suspect. it a mother and father have been spared jail time over the death of their three month old daughter . kyra was attacked by daughter. kyra was attacked by the family's dog, a siberian husky , in march last year in husky, in march last year in lincolnshire . the animal, which lincolnshire. the animal, which was one of 19, kept by the couple, jumped out of their vehicle and left the baby with head and neck injuries. a parent's performed cpr in attempt to revive her. the

have this problem in the first place. >> the government is set to announce new plans to ensure cancer is caught earlier and performance targets will be scrapped and replaced with a new, faster diagnosis standard, which will see patients who've been urgently referred receiving a diagnosis within 28 days. pace agents with cancer will then start treatment within nine weeks from the date of referral . the nhs believes the proposals will help save more lives, but cancer research uk says current missed targets represent years of underinvestment by the government . it comes as junior government. it comes as junior doctors in england continue their four day strike. it's estimated a million procedures and appointments will be cancelled and rearranged due to the action. the walkout started on friday and it ends tomorrow at 7 am. it's the fifth round of strikes by british medical association members since march. over a pay dispute and network rail has released video footage of dangerous behaviour at level crossings . cctv compilation

of this is a lack of deterrent being too nice. we are hardly processing any asylum claims. we're not deporting anyone . the we're not deporting anyone. the rnli picking up the vast rnli is picking up the vast majority of boats we're not majority of boats and we're not letting stay in squalid majority of boats and we're not lettiicities stay in squalid majority of boats and we're not lettiicities like stay in squalid majority of boats and we're not lettiicities like the in squalid majority of boats and we're not lettiicities like the french.|lid majority of boats and we're not lettiicities like the french. so tent cities like the french. so that could encourage people to take the journey across the channel but we have to have a look at what the french are doing in all of this for hundred and £80 million we've given them. they are happy them. well, they are happy for migrants horrendous migrants to be in horrendous camps riddled disease and camps riddled with disease and freezing cold in winter. can you imagine if britain did that? we are not the bad guys in that situation. the french treat these people worse than we do . these people worse than we do. the french also have a policy of essential only escorting these boats , shadowing boats out, shadowing them because say that it would because they say that it would endanger the lives of those on board if they push them back or approach but this approach them. but this guarantees that migrants will end up out in the middle of the channel. we all hear, don't we, about boat that capsized and about the boat that capsized and the seven or so deaths. but but, you know, before that , there had you know, before that, there had actually been seven incidents of migrants being rescued from the

water. in recent days. the french say that it would endanger lives to push them back, but it is endangering lives to let them go. and obviously , we've got the human obviously, we've got the human traffickers to blame as well, haven't they are now haven't we? they are now cramming people cramming around 70 people on each boat. this lot each boat. i mean, this lot absolutely do not care about the loss of life either here or in the mediterranean . but i must the mediterranean. but i must admit i was very surprised this morning to see images of people continuing get on continuing to queue to get on these i was surprised these boats. i was surprised to see it the last time see them doing it the last time that was a mass loss of that there was a mass loss of life channel. britain has life in the channel. britain has messed up. the french have messed up. the french have messed up. the french have messed up. human traffickers messed up. the human traffickers are , of course, to blame. are also, of course, to blame. but britain cannot be held in entirely responsible for people who deliberately and knowingly put themselves in a ridiculously dangerous situation in and a deadly situation like getting in a boat and sailing across the channel just days after people have died doing the exact same thing . well, those are my views. thing. well, those are my views. let me know what you think. of course. gb views. gbnews.com.

we're going to have rather a lot on this throughout the course of the show, as one would imagine. gb news political correspondent olivia me in the olivia utley is with me in the studio. olivier, i believe studio. and olivier, i believe that latest political angle that the latest political angle on priti patel has on this is that priti patel has piped up, saying that she's not happy with government to happy with the government and to do at do with some accommodation at wethersfield. is that right? >> is a raaf barge >> yes. this is a raaf barge near priti patel's constituency in essex and essentially the government said that it was planning to use this this accommodation for up to a year to house migrants on very, very limited amount of time . they limited amount of time. they said they'd only done the safety checks for a year. that's what was agreed with the council. but it already the council have said , well, don't think that's , well, we don't think that's true. previous documents have been that been leaked suggesting that actually government plans to been leaked suggesting that actuthose government plans to been leaked suggesting that actuthose facilities ment plans to been leaked suggesting that actuthose facilities fornt plans to been leaked suggesting that actuthose facilities for a plans to been leaked suggesting that actuthose facilities for a lot ns to use those facilities for a lot longer. and fact , where longer. and in fact, where ministers up in parliament ministers stand up in parliament and talk about their plans for housing migrants, they suggest, if quite word for word, if not quite say word for word, that will be housed in that migrants will be housed in these on these barges and in these on these barges and in these for far longer than these areas for far longer than one year. and now now, this

leaked memo that came out say very, very damaging internal home office memo has shown that civil servants, senior civil servants in the home office are openly talking to each other about the fact that they're actually to house actually planning to house migrants on wethersfield for up to five years. now, the local community in wethersfield really have not agreed to that. the government one, it's supreme court case against wethersfield council on the grounds that migrants would only be housed there for one year if they're going housed there for going to be housed there for five that is an five years, that is an altogether different story, not just residents, but just for local residents, but also concerns, also health and safety concerns, etcetera . etcetera. >> no, exactly. i mean , >> yeah, no, exactly. i mean, the local residents haven't really consented to any of this, have they, at all, let alone it being a years and admittance being a few years and admittance that believe that this is that they believe that this is going for a few years. going to go on for a few years. what was political reaction what was the political reaction as well what happened in as well to what happened in the channel weekend? channel over the weekend? because game is going because the blame game is going on. just you know, on. i've just you know, highlighted few different on. i've just you know, highlig there few different on. i've just you know, highlig there who different on. i've just you know, highlig there who iiifferent on. i've just you know, highligthere who i think1t on. i've just you know, highligthere who i think are people there who i think are responsible for all of this, in part ourselves. definitely what

has political reaction been? has the political reaction been? well there's been a well as you say, there's been a lot of finger pointing going on. >> we've had quite a lot of conservative backbench mps blaming now blaming the french police. now the this the french police have this policy of not intercepting boats once they have already set sail, which does make life pretty difficult for the french police. essentially, there's 50 miles of coast that needs to be policed, dark . obviously, migrants mostly dark. obviously, migrants mostly leave on these boats in the middle of the night, covered in sand dunes. lots of places for people to hide. and essentially the french police mere the french police have mere minutes to try and intercept migrants when they come out from the beach. and before they get into the dinghy and into the sea . obviously, they're not . and obviously, they're not managing to do that. so we've had of tim loughton, had sort of tim loughton, one conservative iain conservative backbencher, iain duncan both criticising duncan smith, both criticising the french police. they say they've been given £500 million of british taxpayers to money stop this happening and their own policy is getting in the way of stopping that flow of migrants crossing the channel. meanwhile of course we've had

labour saying that that generally only the conservative government's migration policy is in mess . government's migration policy is in mess. i mean, you can see in a mess. i mean, you can see where coming from. where they're coming from. 100,000 now 100,000 migrants have now crossed 2018. crossed the channel since 2018. we saw 755 cross on a single day on thursday . but labour's plan on thursday. but labour's plan is to is to make a deal's agreement with the eu. well, that's all very well, but when we were in the eu, more migrants were crossing the channel than is happening now. the dublin convention , which was supposed convention, which was supposed to migrate coming to stop migrate agents coming over to when we were in over to britain when we were in the simply didn't work. so the eu, simply didn't work. so he talk . he can talk. >> but it's rearranging the decking on the titanic, isn't it? all of this stuff, it's semantics. the fact as long semantics. the fact is, as long as human trafficking as we have human trafficking gangs we have people who are gangs and we have people who are willing to pay despite knowing gangs and we have people who are willi it| to pay despite knowing gangs and we have people who are willi it is) pay despite knowing gangs and we have people who are willi it is) piincredibly knowing that it is an incredibly dangerous journey and that dangerous journey and one that might your loss of might result in your loss of life they are willing life if they are still willing to do that journey, then it's going to keep happening. unless they be on the they can be stopped on the beaches france or the beaches in france or the human trafficking gangs can be stopped. there is another solution potentially, which i will my guest now. will go into with my guest now.

but thank very much. but olivia, thank you very much. olivia utley there gb news political correspondent. look, it course, an absolute it was, of course, an absolute tragedy the tragedy that happened in the channel weekend. it's channel over the weekend. it's not it's happened not the first time it's happened and noting as well and it's worth noting as well that last few days there that in the last few days there have been an incident s of have been seven an incident s of migrants being rescued from the water in the channel the one that we heard about on saturday was because people died. so that obviously made headline news, but it went under the radar that there were seven other incidents where people very easily could have it is not beyond the have died. it is not beyond the realms of possibility that i could sitting here today could be sitting here today talking you about seven talking to you about seven separate incidents of migrants dying the channel. the human dying in the channel. the human trafficking gangs are stuck in these now with about 70 these boats now with about 70 people. the of course, people. the boats, of course, are flimsy. like are relatively flimsy. like i said before, and olivia alluded to, there , the french have a to, there, the french have a policy of essentially shadowing these and they say that these boats. and they say that it be a danger to life if it would be a danger to life if they tried to turn them back. there is also what the human traffickers tell the people on those boats, which is do not

allow yourself to be picked up by the french. so every single time a tragedy happens, people get on the high horse and say, what about safe and legal routes? safe and legal routes? this is what we need safe and legal routes. so i want to know what that really means. i want to know if there actually are any at the moment. and i want to know not they would know whether or not they would work. i'm joined kevin work. so i'm joined now by kevin saunders, who the former saunders, who is the former chief immigration officer at uk border very, border force. thank you very, very are there any very much, kevin, are there any current legal routes? current safe and legal routes? >> um , there are . um, there are >> um, there are. um, there are actually seven safe and legal routes . unfortunately, my routes. unfortunately, my printer packs up, so i can't tell you what the seven are, but i know off the top of my head there was the ukrainians ones british overseas nationals. there's a two afghan ones . um, there's a two afghan ones. um, and there are some, a couple of odd ones. but patrick forget league and safe , safe routes

league and safe, safe routes that isn't going to be, that isn't the answer at all because the people that are not allowed on the safe routes will come illegally . on the safe routes will come illegally. um, so it's a bit of a nonsense really. it's just a another excuse for not doing anything . anything. >> okay, so what you think that people who were in france, if they had a processing centre in france where they could say , france where they could say, look, we know you want to come to britain, we know you're about to britain, we know you're about to get on a boat and get across the channel, and that you've paid traffickers for that paid human traffickers for that privilege, as it were. we will process you here to stop you taking that journey. you still think that people would get into boats and come across the channel >> yes, because if you set up a processing place in in northern france, what happens to the people that you refuse ? and you people that you refuse? and you would be refusing a lot of them, patrick because these people

will have documents when they come to see you. we would hope you'll be able to establish who they are. nationality and identity . that's the first bit. identity. that's the first bit. then you establish why they're fleeing and if they are economic migrants , then they're going to migrants, then they're going to get refused . and unlike the get refused. and unlike the current system, because they are in france, which is a safe country, we don't have to provide them with protection. so then they're not going to get they're not going to be coming to join us. so that system wouldn't work either. so. >> well, i'll tell you what it might do, though, and i think this is something that maybe needs to actually officially be established. and this one of established. and this is one of the reasons i would actually the reasons why i would actually come now and support an come out now and support an overt flagship safe and legal route , some kind of processing route, some kind of processing centre in france, because it might then be able to officially highlight how many people are deliberately not choosing to go through that process so that

they can get in a boat and come across the channel and throw their documents in the drink and therefore we don't have any idea who they are. i it might highlight it might be a good way of being to highlight how of being able to highlight how many asylum many people are genuine asylum seekers fleeing war and how many people actually are economic migrants who are chancing their arm . arm. >> well, yes. i mean , you have >> well, yes. i mean, you have a point, patrick, but it would be we would be pouring money down the drain. well, even more than we are at the moment. um, it it won't work. you would probably accept possibly . only 40% as accept possibly. only 40% as genuine asylum seekers. you would refuse the other 60. and because you don't have to give them humanitarian protection, which is what a lot of these people are getting because we can't return them to europe. yeah um, they, they would still be trying to come across illegally , so it ain't going to illegally, so it ain't going to work. what i will say patrick, i

thought your bit at the beginning was very good about the, the, the other, um , the, the, the other, um, accidents that occurred in the channel because the french had to ref rescue 59 people off dunkirk when a boat went down. no >> well this is it, isn't it. and i'll ask you that then just to round it off kevin. which is, who do you blame for what's gone on in the channel over the weekend? i couldn't help but think that the narrative really was that somehow was all think that the narrative really wasfault somehow was all think that the narrative really wasfault and ehow was all think that the narrative really wasfault and i'mv was all think that the narrative really wasfault and i'm not was all think that the narrative really wasfault and i'm not sures all think that the narrative really wasfault and i'm not sure itall our fault and i'm not sure it is. is it ? is. is it? >> well, from what i can gather, the accident occurred five miles off the french coast . so if it's off the french coast. so if it's five miles off the french coast, the problem lies with the french engush the problem lies with the french english lifeboats . got to the english lifeboats. got to the scene of the accident . but scene of the accident. but before the french. and that i find absolutely astonishing . and find absolutely astonishing. and it goes to show that what i've

been saying for years is we need the french on the channel working with the brits to stop the boats coming across. and until we do that, we're going to have continual deaths. >> we're all going to have continual deaths. but kevin as well, i was very surprised at the fact that loss of life in the fact that loss of life in the channel does not appear to put people off trying to get in boats and come across the channel boats and come across the channel, does it? and that is , channel, does it? and that is, as you know, a very, very , very as you know, a very, very, very unfortunate fact . and it is a unfortunate fact. and it is a difficult thing to discuss , difficult thing to discuss, which i think is why a lot of people in the media don't raise it. but i am going to raise it because it is a tragedy and it is a crying shame that people have died in the channel but at the same time , people knowingly the same time, people knowingly take an incredibly dangerous and potentially deadly journey , potentially deadly journey, don't they? and i have every sympathy for them. but again, who's fault is that, that they're in those boats? are they forced there at gunpoint by human traffickers? some people say .

say that. >> well, they're not. no, they're not. and the traffickers, from what i can gather, when the news of the horrendous accident came out , horrendous accident came out, the traffickers were saying to the traffickers were saying to the people, oh, it's all right. it wasn't one of our boats. it was the boats run by the kurds or the iranians or whatever. so our boats are quite safe , is our boats are quite safe, is what they were saying. and i'm afraid people believe them. and so it continues . but it is so it continues. but it is you're right. it's absolute disaster that people should die coming across the channel. it just shouldn't happen. and it's incumbent , i just shouldn't happen. and it's incumbent, i think on the french to do a little bit more than they're doing. >> all right, kevin, thank you very much. kevin saunders, there is a former chief immigration officer at uk border force. the emails have been coming in thick and fast. is the answer, and fast. macron is the answer, says he's blame. says john. he's to blame. anthony french who anthony says it's the french who were fault. let go were at fault. they let them go and drown french territorial and drown in french territorial waters. a lot of that

waters. quite a lot of that coming your views coming in. keep your views coming in. keep your views coming in. keep your views coming in gb views the gbnews.com. who do you think is to another tragedy to blame for yet another tragedy in and frankly, to blame for yet another tragedy in this and frankly, to blame for yet another tragedy in this has and frankly, to blame for yet another tragedy in this has got d frankly, to blame for yet another tragedy in this has got to rankly, to blame for yet another tragedy in this has got to be kly, to blame for yet another tragedy in this has got to be the surely this has got to be the time for extreme action. time now for extreme action. i mean, it won't be, but you would have thought it would be gbnews.com is our website though the national gbnews.com is our website though the in national gbnews.com is our website though the in the national gbnews.com is our website though the in the country. nal gbnews.com is our website though the in the country. best news site in the country. best analysis, big opinion, the analysis, big opinion, all the latest get latest breaking news. but get this waiting lists under the this nhs waiting lists under the welsh government are so welsh labour government are so long patients long that thousands of patients are being treated in england. so could we trust a keir starmer government with the nhs? hey, could get any worse than it could it get any worse than it is now? patrick on gb is now? patrick christys on gb news

britain's news . channel britain's news. channel >> well, very shortly i will have a little look at why rishi sunakis have a little look at why rishi sunak is caught between a rock and a hard place when it comes to net zero. and as more and more people back or don't kill cash campaign, we will tell you why. demand for pawnbroking has hit record levels . but the hit record levels. but the health secretary has offered patients in wales and scotland the option of being treated in england. despite waiting times for nhs hospital treatment in england, reaching a record high. the department of health claims that there are significant variations in nhs waiting times between the uk nation. so i thought we'd have a little look into this. really, it says that into this. really, it says that in wales under labour more than 73,000 people are waiting more than 77 weeks for treatment, which is a staggering number, isn't it really? in scotland

where health services are managed by the snp, more than 21,000 people are waiting more than 78 weeks for outpatient . than 78 weeks for outpatient. ain't day care of in—patient appointments as well. however, let's have a look at england, shall we? well, it claims that waiting time for patients over 78 weeks has been virtually eliminated. that's what they claim. i don't know if this appues claim. i don't know if this applies let know, of applies to you. let me know, of course. the scottish health course. but the scottish health minister, matheson, minister, michael matheson, has pointed record waiting lists pointed to record waiting lists and ongoing strikes nhs and ongoing strikes hitting nhs england. this just england. this is just a devastating circle of horrific blame. i mean , none of this is blame. i mean, none of this is good, is it? but with 7.5 million patients waiting for hospital treatment and a welsh government spokesperson, well, they've hit back, they ? they've hit back, haven't they? the in waiting the overall growth in waiting lists wales been smaller lists in wales has been smaller than in england in the last 12 months. well cue steve barclay, who is, of course , the health who is, of course, the health sac, saying that the long waiting list in wales and scotland are proof that labour can't be trusted with the nhs. i mean, this is quite a devastating cycle. the cynic in me would say this. the cynic in

me would say this. the cynic in me would say this, which is that perhaps the conservative minister please minister is saying yes, please come england for refuge if come to england for refuge if you are an nhs patient in wales or scotland so that he can say things like the nhs is worse under the snp or labour and therefore may be helping them at therefore may be helping them at the next general election. the thing that staggers me about our nhs is what a lottery it is. i think time and time again i get emails in from people saying i had absolutely great care, whether that was an emergency or whether that was an emergency or whether child was whether that was an emergency or whor1er child was whether that was an emergency or whor whether child was whether that was an emergency or whor whether the child was whether that was an emergency or whor whether the ambulance |s whether that was an emergency or whor whether the ambulance was ill or whether the ambulance was with me two minutes, or i with me in two minutes, or i called up and got a gp's called up and i got a gp's appointment within half an hour and i was there and i was getting treated. lot getting treated. there's a lot of that. and then there appears to be an equal of people to be an equal number of people who for in something who have gone for in something routine, who are clearly waiting for months months, if not for months and months, if not a year or for things like a year or so, for things like a hernia or whatever. are hernia op or whatever. there are people i think this is people who, and i think this is the of a better the real for want of a better phrase, killer, which when phrase, killer, which is when people desperately so people are desperately ill. so they've got heart issues or something those lines, and something along those lines, and the to make them

the nhs battles to make them better does get them better and it does get them better. it saves their life in that moment. and then they follow is so awful that follow up. care is so awful that they up getting ill again they end up getting ill again and there's that kind of and then there's that kind of downward there, and then there's that kind of dowr certainly there, and then there's that kind of dowrcertainly applied there, and then there's that kind of dowrcertainly applied to are, and then there's that kind of dowrcertainly applied to people that certainly applied to people that i dare say that that i know. i dare say that will apply a lot of people as will apply to a lot of people as well. but it does raise the question, doesn't it? would labour better running labour be any better at running the nhs given what's been going on in wales? depressingly i suspect the truth is this which is that the problems in our nhs are now so deep and were an inevitable cause of a variety of different other policies that we've such as mass, we've had. yes, such as mass, largely uncontrolled immigration and rapid population growth as well . definitely under well. yes, definitely not under funding of the nhs, but mismanaged out of the nhs, and that has resulted in where we are now. if you are in wales or you are in scotland, let me know. if you think about coming and using the facilities in england. i am yet to see how that would work though, given that would work though, given that there are 7.5 million people nhs waiting list in people on an nhs waiting list in england, apparently gb views out gbnews.com. get a load

gbnews.com. but get a load of this i'm going show you now this i'm going to show you now some that i think it some footage that i think it might either make you laugh or cry, right? network rail has cry, right? so network rail has released videos of dangerous behaviour at level crossings. so i think i can just play you some clips now. so if you're listening on radio, i'll talk you through it. it's a level crossing and there's a barrier there with people pushing what looks to be a buggy through it. i mean, there's loads of this stuff that they've released about persisted numpties. there's a thing called the darwin awards, there? darwin awards, isn't there? i don't know anyone's heard of don't know if anyone's heard of the awards, which is the darwin awards, which is basically who basically people who have evolved into absolute, complete and and frankly , and utter idiots and frankly, you know, their life choices should be questioned. there's someone a level someone running across a level crossing there with little crossing there with a little dog. anything could have happened h? happened there, couldn't it? there's walking down there's people just walking down the inside of it. they look like kids. yeah certainly someone with with kid on the way to with a with a kid on the way to school and child. is school and another child. is that. oh, yeah. i'll tell you what i'll do. you know, normally as say, you know, as parents, you say, you know, look left, then look right, then

but rishi sunak is due back from houday but rishi sunak is due back from holiday later this week and one of the many issues that will confront him on his return is, of course, should we ditch his commitment to net zero? now, it's fair to say that many red wall mps would back him if he did that. viewers on gb did just that. viewers on gb news can see the pictures of the prime minister in aberdeen a fortnight ago when he announced the government grant the government would grant hundreds of new oil and gas licences sea. that licences for the north sea. that caused a load of controversy and in fact three days later, in fact just three days later, greenpeace attacked rishi sunak's home in north yorkshire in a response to that in a direct response to that policy. but it's not just eco activists who are putting pressure on the prime minister. many mps in the blue wall fear that they'd lose votes if the tories watered down their plans. and this, i think, is really the crux of the problem for rishi sunak. kenny please everybody know who does he care about annoying more former cabinet minister robert buckland said recently that it was really important that sunak stuck to his guns. but is it for more on

this, i'm joined now by charlie rowley, who is a former special adviser to michael gove . thank adviser to michael gove. thank you very, very much, charlie. great to have you on the show. so rishi sunak is caught between a rock and a hard place. isn't he? if he ploughs ahead with the big net zero plans, then he annoys a lot of people. i would argue red wall and anyone argue in the red wall and anyone around then if he around cities. but then if he rows back on it, then he alienates the blue wall. they were going to all of a sudden just liberal democrats, just become liberal democrats, aren't so what does he do? aren't they? so what does he do? well i think. >> good afternoon, patrick. that's you've that's absolutely right. you've got balance the number one got to balance the number one issue of the day , which people issue of the day, which people are facing right across the country , and that is the cost of country, and that is the cost of living pressures. and so having policies that might be. yes, well thought through that might be more green. but if they add bills to people who are already struggling, then that is something that i think is something that i think is something that i think is something that the government needs to look at and might reconsider, that it could be policies that could be brought in at a later at a later time.

so you can do that. on the one hand. and of course, the people that are impacted i think the most are in areas of low socioeconomic backgrounds . and socioeconomic backgrounds. and that to i'm afraid that does tend to be, i'm afraid , communities, which , in all the communities, which is levelling so is why levelling up is so important as well, is why levelling up is so important as well , to readdress is why levelling up is so imp(balance well , to readdress is why levelling up is so imp(balance between readdress is why levelling up is so imp(balance between the ddress is why levelling up is so imp(balance between the north that balance between the north and south and those and the south and those communities. but you're absolutely the blue absolutely right. in the blue wall these traditional tory wall in these traditional tory voting shires , making sure that voting shires, making sure that you don't lose votes or conservative voters to the lib dems or the greens who did slightly better in the local elections. and i think anybody was anticipating on the basis of protecting the environment and having a forward thinking approach to energy supply and green policies. you have got to be careful that you don't lose those. >> do you think do you think do you think politicians overestimate how much people care about the planet . care about the planet. >> i don't actually know. i think everybody i think is aware and alive of the issue and everybody, you know, we're good

focussed brits . you know, we focussed brits. you know, we like to play fair and play ball and we'll do our bit to protect the environment. and so i think when it comes to things like you referenced the north sea oil, gas exploration, i think people understand when you understand that when you have a war russia and energy war in russia and where energy pnces war in russia and where energy prices gone through the prices have gone through the roof many, millions of roof or many, many millions of people country, you people across this country, you need something to make need to do something to make sure, we reduce our energy sure, okay, we reduce our energy supply coming the evil that supply coming from the evil that it from, it currently comes from, which is russia. can't just is russia. so you can't just suddenly off those taps suddenly switch off those taps and solar energy, and expect solar energy, wind energy to replace that. so you've got to be pragmatic about it and look, i will issue it and say, look, i will issue more licences in the north sea, not least because it produces energy, protects jobs, but also in the long term we can move to some more energy sustainable alternatives . but you've got to alternatives. but you've got to get the balance between the cost of people's living and the. >> but this highlights it, isn't it, charlie? this highlights it perfectly. so that quote unquote is wall, which is , is blue wall, which is, generally speaking , people who generally speaking, people who are quite wealthy , quite are quite wealthy, quite well—to—do, quite affluent and

can probably afford to care about what i would regard as being a relatively luxury issue, i.e. the net zero agenda. you can maybe afford to take a hit on it. you can maybe afford to buy an electric car. the ulez charges, et cetera. might not put a massive dent in your monthly pay packet. and then people in other areas who it really matters for. so again, i don't want to generalise too much here because not everyone in is like this. i in the north is like this. i don't want certainly diss my don't want to certainly diss my own make sound own people and make it sound like know, just eat like we all, you know, just eat chips and gravy and gruel all the time. but you know, a lot of people up might have a bit people up north might have a bit less some of the less money than some of the people the blue wall, and people in the blue wall, and they care more about the cost of living. and so this epitomises it, doesn't net zero is it, doesn't it, that net zero is a issue and we a luxury issue for people and we shouldn't of us should shouldn't not all of us should suffer as a result. well you're absolutely suffer as a result. well you're absoluteljwill that >> there will be that discrepancy, which is why. and the cost of living is the number one issue the government one issue which the government has to has grapple and has to has to grapple with. and it's economy. it's the it's the economy. it's the

economy, old economy, stupid, that old phrase. it to the phrase. so when it comes to the election, making sure that the current conservative government have on the economy, have got a grip on the economy, making it grow, having inflation, all things inflation, doing all the things that it's going to do to that it said it's going to do to protect people's pound in protect people's the pound in their is absolutely their pockets is absolutely right. about the right. but it's also about the timing. the timing. so. ulez absolutely the totally time to totally the wrong time to implement slap on a £12.50 implement and slap on a £12.50 charge for hard working people that their vehicle to go to that need their vehicle to go to work, to do everything that you and i enjoy about going to work and, all of a sudden and, you know, all of a sudden going penalised. and so going to be penalised. and so that's those people that's a cost to those people that's a cost to those people that need their vehicle. but it's also an exclusivity to say, well, you have got money well, if you have got the money and don't want to change the and you don't want to change the vehicle, might do vehicle, it might not do anything the anything to protect the environment. just afford environment. you can just afford to pay pollute and that price to pay to pollute and that price is other people out. so it's not a well thought through policy because ing of which because of the time ing of which it's in. i think by the it's coming in. i think by the time you get to 2030, you know, technology might involved technology might have involved those vehicles. those electric vehicles. hopefully more hopefully will become more cheapen hopefully will become more cheaper, for cheaper, more accessible for everybody might to everybody that might need to renew car or their renew their car or their vehicle. so you can move to net zero policies on a more

sustainable pragmatic and sustainable and pragmatic and time way rather time thought through way rather than just, you know, short, sharp measures that are implemented in short order that are to fines on are going to slap fines on people, totally unnecessary. >> mean, the actual >> well, i mean, the actual founder of extinction rebellion today , say, has absolutely today, say, has absolutely slammed ulez. i mean, roger hallam has called it an urban middle class neoliberal left issue.i middle class neoliberal left issue. i mean, that is the kind of thing that nigel farage would say. and this guy founded extinction rebellion. you can hear nigel saying it, can't you? that an urban middle that net zero is an urban middle class, neoliberal left issue. i mean, this guy is a proper sign up member of extinction rebellion. he signed up millions of other people to it as well . of other people to it as well. so it comes to so actually, when it comes to ulez, i mean, the eco loons ulez, i mean, even the eco loons are saying that this is ridiculous . ridiculous. >> well, and i think, you know, i don't want to speak for you, patrick, but i think you and i, we never find ourselves agreeing. i should imagine, with the dream people and the actions of the extreme actions that

those kind of people take. but, you know, there could be an absolute right because there are other protect the other ways to protect the environment. be environment. there would be other ways to clean up our air through just carbon capture schemes or through just having a better environment , planting better environment, planting more trees even. i'd hasten to add. but i think you can do all of those things to make your air clean, to protect the environment without costing people hard working people with that burden of £12.50, where ulez has clearly been rejected in in uxbridge and south ruislip and is right across london. >> i just wondered. yeah, i mean, i really do just wonder how many people i could be wrong about this, but how many people at the next election are going to go into the polling booth and if rishi sunak decides that he wants back on zero wants to row back on net zero are going to vote for him are not going to vote for him for that. i just do not see that being a massive swing issue when we've so many other crises. we've got so many other crises. but you very but charlie, thank you very much. there, much. charlie rowley there, former adviser to former special adviser to michael gove. the 2050 michael gove. now the uk's 2050 net is, course, net zero target is, of course, bound be a huge issue at the

bound to be a huge issue at the general election. the general election. are the tories, and the lib dems tories, labour and the lib dems there all committed to the policy? now? rishi sunak there all committed to the pccoming now? rishi sunak there all committed to the pccoming under rishi sunak there all committed to the pccoming under pressurei sunak there all committed to the pccoming under pressure withink is coming under pressure within his decided to lob his party. so i decided to lob it out there to the people. in fact, i wish he'd do more of this actually just find out what the actually think and the people actually think and enact policy. we have enact that policy. we have a twitter now twitter poll running right now and in couple of and it'll close in a couple of hours at news on twitter, hours at gb news on twitter, where i am asking you simply, would you be more likely to vote tory the 2050 tory if they ditched the 2050 net target? that is net zero target? that poll is open right now . i'll bring you open right now. i'll bring you the result just after 5:00. now, more than 260,000 have more than 260,000 of you have signed don't kill cash signed our don't kill cash petition another influential petition and another influential group has just backed our campaign and get a out of this. are you one of the millions of people have now started people who have now started using pawnbrokers? apparently people who have now started usir patrick brokers? apparently people who have now started usir patrick christys apparently people who have now started usir patrick christys on parently people who have now started usir patrick christys on gantly i'm patrick christys on gb

special report, london taxi driver howard taylor says cash now accounts for just a 10th of the money he takes each day. >> like countless cabbies across britain, howard now relies on card payments with the company that facilitates such payments, taking 2% of everything he makes . but howard is concerned that as cash disappears , the card as cash disappears, the card payment firms will become even more dominant and could increase how much they charge . how much they charge. >> what happens in the future is anybody's guess. so i've got the game to themselves and there is no cash charge. what they like, no cash charge. what they like, no one's got any options. >> that worries you? yes >> and that worries you? yes >> and that worries you? yes >> yeah. i don't like anybody to be in control of too much control over everybody else. and especially when talk about especially when you talk about something as one's something as basic as one's finances. howard's views, shared by countless other self—employed and small business owners who've contacted gb news the federation of small businesses, also worries that card payment companies could charge firms more as competition from cash

disappears , with higher charges disappears, with higher charges being passed on in the form of higher consumer prices. >> if we ended up with a cashless high street , then that cashless high street, then that is a big competitor to the card companies in terms of a payment method gone without that competitor , naturally that gives competitor, naturally that gives them more of a monopoly position. >> and so it's not that much of a stretch of the imagination that they could then put up their fees because for a retailer they may have no other way taking payment . way of taking payment. >> since covid pandemic, >> since the covid pandemic, more and more shops, cafes and pubs only accept card payments . pubs only accept card payments. yet 5 million of us in the uk still rely on cash every day, which accounts for 6 billion transactions a year. that's why gb news has launched our don't kill cash campaign . gb news has launched our don't kill cash campaign. i gb news has launched our don't kill cash campaign . i call gb news has launched our don't kill cash campaign. i call on the government, says our petition to introduce legislation to protect the status of cash as legal tender and as a widely accepted means of payment in the uk until at least 2050. and when it comes to card companies potentially

charging traders and taxi drivers more financial consultants say that's actually already happening . already happening. >> when you make as a seller a card payment , make >> when you make as a seller a card payment, make a sale on a card payment, make a sale on a car card, you're supposed to get 99.8% of the value. that's a debit card, 99.7. if it's a credit card. but the industry with the agreement of the regulators who are supposed to police this , allow that the police this, allow that the deduction is on card payments can go up by 7, up to 7. so it it already is costing . that's it already is costing. that's a real danger . real danger. >> the card payment companies deny any abuse of market power , deny any abuse of market power, but cabbies like howard remain concerned that as we go cashless payment charges will rise. liam halligan . gb news yeah, great halligan. gb news yeah, great stuff there. >> if you wanted more proof that

people really do need cash, then it comes with the news that demand for pawnbroking has hit record levels in britain. at&t group is the uk's largest pawnbroker and its pre—tax profit rose by 31% to £88 million in the first half of the yeah million in the first half of the year. i am joined now by james constantinou , who is the founder constantinou, who is the founder of prestige pawnbrokers. thank you very much, james. great to have you on the show. so clearly, people are desperate for cash at the moment. >> well, i mean, we've seen a massive spike in the last eight months of small business owners coming to us looking to raise caphal coming to us looking to raise capital. yeah, that's for sure. i mean, we hear all sorts of tales in this business down to, you know , from as to do with the you know, from as to do with the fuel crisis , a lack of labour fuel crisis, a lack of labour and all sorts of issues they're facing at the moment that are sort of pushing the cost of running a business up and a short term funding. they're

turning to us in that respect and we fill that void . and we fill that void. >> yeah, okay. all right. i mean , presumably the cost of living crisis has got something to do with it, but, you know, it it's obviously devastating in a way for other than for people maybe other than yourself, are having to yourself, if they are having to go and off of their go and pawn off some of their their possessions. i mean, what does mean then? so if i if i does it mean then? so if i if i came in and said, oh, look, i'm pawning this now, do keep pawning this now, do you keep hold for a period of hold of that for a period of time to buy it back time and allow me to buy it back for more money little bit for more money a little bit later how does it work? later on? how does it work? >> yes, in general, i mean, that's it's quite straightforward. so bring straightforward. so you bring something we always straightforward. so you bring sometipeople we always straightforward. so you bring sometipeople to we always straightforward. so you bring sometipeople to not always straightforward. so you bring sometipeople to not bring s advise people to not bring things if they that have things in if they can that have got sentimental value, because the we to do as the last thing we want to do as a is sell people's a business is sell people's personal belongings, especially a business is sell people's pethey're belongings, especially a business is sell people's pethey're attachedjs, especially a business is sell people's pethey're attachedjs, them.ally if they're attached to them. so bnng if they're attached to them. so bring in us. you'll bring something in to us. you'll sign contract, we'll hold on sign a contract, we'll hold on to those goods. we'll release some funds you, usually some funds to you, usually within can take a bit within an hour. can take a bit longer if it's a larger sum. and then you've got several months to pay a sum back. it's to come and pay a sum back. it's a pay to come and pay a sum back. it's a pay as you go situation. so if you have the loan for a month,

you'll pay a month's interest. if for six months, if you have it for six months, you'll pay six months. as you'll pay six months. it's as simple as that. the good side of it really, that you don't it is really, is that you don't get a bad credit score. we're not interested your earnings. not interested in your earnings. the thing that happen the worst thing that can happen to we'll have to to you is that we'll have to sell items. you know , we sell your items. you know, we don't make people homeless, so in that in terms of in that respect, in terms of borrowing , it's a it's pretty borrowing, it's a it's pretty straightforward and can be quick and it doesn't have a sort of long lasting negative effect . long lasting negative effect. >> james, thank you >> okay. look, james, thank you very, great have very, very much. great to have you show. james you on the show. james constantinou, there, who is the founder of prestige pawnbrokers right said right now. rishi sunak has said that stop the boats. that he would stop the boats. but am asking today, do you but i am asking today, do you feel down by the government? feel let down by the government? a lot of people went into bat for a lot of this government's policies, whether was rwanda policies, whether it was rwanda or was the bibby or whether it was the bibby stockholm barge or whatever else do you feel let down? people lost it sticking up lost friends over it sticking up for policies around the for these policies around the dinner the pub. dinner table or around the pub. they friends over it. do dinner table or around the pub. thejfeel friends over it. do dinner table or around the pub. thejfeel let ends over it. do dinner table or around the pub. thejfeel let down?/er it. do dinner table or around the pub. thejfeel let down? patrick 0 you feel let down? patrick christys on gb news, britain's news channel a brighter outlook with boxt solar proud sponsors

their three month old daughter in lincolnshire . kyra was in lincolnshire. kyra was attacked by the family's dog, a siberian husky, in march last year. siberian husky, in march last year . the siberian husky, in march last year. the animal, one of 19 kept by the couple, jumped out of their vehicle and left the baby with head and neck injuries . their vehicle and left the baby with head and neck injuries. her parents, vince king and karen alcock, performed cpr in an attempt to revive their daughter . the judge described the case as tragic as he handed them, suspended sentences . the suspended sentences. the government says it's trying to clarify when officials were made aware of the legionella concerns on board the bibby stockholm barge . that's after dorset barge. that's after dorset council said home office contractors were told traces of the bacteria were detected on the bacteria were detected on the day asylum seekers boarded the day asylum seekers boarded the barge. all 39 people were removed from the vessel on friday. downing street says it expects them to return to the barge as soon as possible. but the labour leader, sir keir starmer, says the government's failing to tackle the issue properly . properly. >> i do not think the answer to

this is barges is hotels , this is barges is hotels, massive costs £6 million a day airbase . is that that's the airbase. is that that's the symptom. the problem is that the government has not done enough work to break the gangs that are running this trade, this vile trade, and to process the applications. and so the government has made a complete and utter mess of this. i mean, small boats week last week was a complete fiasco. we would fix the fundamentals, go after the gangs that are running this and process the claims . so we do not process the claims. so we do not have this problem in the first place. we the government has set new targets to announce plans to ensure cancer is detected in people much earlier performers . people much earlier performers. >> once targets are going to be scrapped and replaced with a new, faster diagnosis standard which will see patients who've been urgently referred receiving a diagnosis within 28 days, patients with cancer will then start treatment within nine weeks from the date of the referral. the nhs believes the

proposals will help save more lives . cancer research uk says lives. cancer research uk says current missed targets represented years of underinvestment that comes as junior doctors in england continue their four day strike. it's estimated that a million procedures and appointments will be cancelled and rearranged due to the action. the walkout started on friday. it ends at 7:00 tomorrow morning and it's the fifth round of strikes by british medical association members since march over a pay dispute . now, as you were dispute. now, as you were heanng dispute. now, as you were hearing earlier from patrick, network rail has released a video of dangerous behaviour at railway level crossings. if you're watching on television, take a look at this. cctv compilation showing a person doing press ups across the lines , dog walkers sitting their pets on the tracks for photographs and children putting stones on the line. nearly 50 cases of misuse have been reported by train drivers . all were caught train drivers. all were caught on camera in worcestershire and

the west midlands. so far this year. the west midlands. so far this year . network rail says it's year. network rail says it's trying to raise awareness and discourage people from risking their lives . you're with gb news their lives. you're with gb news across the uk on tv, in your car, on your digital radio and now on your smart speaker by saying play gb news. this is britain's news . saying play gb news. this is britain's news. channel >> afternoon , noon. right? so >> afternoon, noon. right? so people who have gone into bat for the conservatives on immigration have been badly let down. there has been failure on top of failure on top of failure that has completely played into the of the open borders the hands of the open borders brigade. and the britain is an evil cesspit lot the last few days we've record crossings days we've seen record crossings , 1600 more. i think it was over ,1600 more. i think it was over the weekend, loads of money given to the french that culminated in at least six people dying on saturday in the channel and the rnli getting to the scene before the french, despite it just being a few miles off the french coast, border force boats have broken down, crashed out of

down, drones have crashed out of the smugglers are the sky. people smugglers are using better boats and using bigger, better boats and cramming more people on it is a total circus and what that does is allow people who want open borders to say, look , nothing's borders to say, look, nothing's working. the only solution is to let them all in. and then there's, of course, the issue of not actually processing people because we've not processed anybody anybody. and anybody or barely anybody. and we've certainly not deported anybody that allows, again, the human rights law to say, well, clearly everybody must be a genuine asylum seeker , otherwise genuine asylum seeker, otherwise you'd getting them you'd be getting rid of them all, so then all, wouldn't you? so then anybody who opposes what goes on in the channel looks like they just hate refugees, whereas actually what they care about is stopping illegal immigration . stopping illegal immigration. then we've got this barge fiasco . people went into bat . people really went into bat for . people knew it for the barge. people knew it wasn't perfect , but they were wasn't perfect, but they were willing back as some kind willing to back it as some kind of like, totemic symbol of deterrent like rwanda and then what happens? well, they weather the people saying it's the storm of people saying it's a horrific floating prison. it's a horrific floating prison. it's a grenfell . how dare

a floating grenfell. how dare you put people on there ? and you put people on there? and then turns out that there's then it turns out that there's legionnaires on board, which is of course an absolute gift to the people and the pro open borders people and human lawyers everywhere human rights lawyers everywhere . we know, hasn't got . rwanda, as we know, hasn't got off the ground. people again went into bat for rwanda time and time again for a variety of government plans as well to stop the boats. but people have lost friends over it. people have been hammered for their views on twitter, at work, in the pub, around the dinner table with their families. how have their families. and how have those repaid? we're those people been repaid? we're just ups and failure. people have really gone out on a limb numerous times to back things that knew weren't perfect, that they knew weren't perfect, but might it might but they hoped might it might stop the boats . and time and stop the boats. and time and time again, some idiot messes it up and makes everyone look silly . and frankly, it's left people who strong borders to who want strong borders open to easier attacks from elements of the rabid left . and i just think the rabid left. and i just think it's a crying shame that so many people repeatedly put their people have repeatedly put their neck line repeatedly neck on the line and repeatedly been let down by this government. well those are my

views. let me hear from you, gbviews@gbnews.com gb news is political correspondent. olivia utley is with me in the studio right now. and the development of the channel migrant crisis today comes from priti patel, a former home secretary who is quite angry about what's going on her constituents. on in her constituents. >> yes, priti patel has >> see, yes, priti patel has written to the home written a letter to the home secretary complaining about the fact that it now seems as though the raf base at wethersfield, which is being used to house migrants, won't as temporary migrants, won't be as temporary housing these migrants as housing for these migrants as the government has originally claimed. now, we knew really that the government weren't being completely candid about this wethersfield council took the to court, saying the government to court, saying that a government that whenever a government minister up in minister stands up in parliament, the implication is that wethersfield being that wethersfield will be being used migrant detention used as a migrant detention centre for pretty long time. centre for a pretty long time. but when they talk to wethersfield council, they sing a bit of different tune and a bit of a different tune and say, oh no, no, don't you worry, it'll be for a year. so so it'll only be for a year. so so this has raised really big concerns in the local area. and as we know , government is as we know, the government is really ahead with

really keen to press ahead with these migrant barges and raf barracks as migrant centre is all over the place. so this isn't just a wethersfield problem . this could be problem. this could be replicated around the country . replicated around the country. we could have a situation where the local the government says to local councils, don't you worry, this is very, very temporary and then actually there a actually leaves them there for a long, time. and i mean, you long, long time. and i mean, you can that's going to can see how that's going to happen because where earth happen because where on earth are obviously, are they going to obviously, i mean, obviously is going to happen, but labour have piped up in the channel in the wake of the channel migrant crisis. >> piped up, haven't >> labour have piped up, haven't they, answer they, and said that the answer to lies with closer to this lies with closer cooperation to the european union. >> yeah, close cooperation with the close the european union and close cooperation with the french. well close cooperation the well close cooperation with the french. easy to say. much harder to sunak has given to do. rishi sunak has given £500 million to the french. this year a course of three year for a course of three years, and it doesn't seem to have made any difference whatsoever. macron whatsoever. sunak and macron have a very good have a have a very good relationship still that does relationship and still that does not surprise. >> mean, to interrupt >> i mean, sorry to interrupt you, but i mean, i would have a great relationship with someone you, but i mean, i would have a grtheyelationship with someone you, but i mean, i would have a grthey were nship with someone you, but i mean, i would have a grthey were givingvith someone you, but i mean, i would have a grthey were givingvith £500)ne if they were giving me £500 million i would million to do nothing. i would do anything for that person but

carry he's got the carry on and then he's got the building a new relationship with the eu. >> well, assuming that the eu would happy agree would be happy to agree a returns agreement with us and it's imagine they it's hard to imagine why they would on earth would any would be why on earth would any country to country have any incentive to take migrants who've got to take back migrants who've got to britain and put that pressure on their their own their own systems, their own health care, schools, etcetera ? health care, schools, etcetera? so assuming that the eu was happy to enter into an agreement, it seems very unlikely it would work. unlikely that it would work. when was in the eu, we when britain was in the eu, we were part of the dublin convention dublin convention and the dublin convention states that when a migrant lands safe country, migrant lands in a safe country, they have to stay in that safe country. they go country. they can't go elsewhere. they do go elsewhere. and if they do go elsewhere, if elsewhere, so for instance, if they france and then move they go to france and then move on britain under the rules of on to britain under the rules of the dublin convention, they are supposedly back france. supposedly sent back to france. well, didn't when well, that didn't happen when we were we know were part of the eu. we know that the migrant crisis, the channel crisis has been going basically maybe basically since 2015, maybe a little bit earlier. for most of that been in that time, britain has been in the eu . yes, we voted to leave the eu. yes, we voted to leave in but we didn't actually in 2016, but we didn't actually leave until 2020. so it doesn't

sound as though keir starmer policy is to be much policy is going to be much better. and even he has admitted that would have use that labour would have to use the we'll to use barges, the we'll have to use barges, they'd have the big legionnaires barges go, legions of barges on the go, legions of them actually. >> but look, thank you very, them actually. >> emuch.> emuch. olivia k you very, them actually. >> emuch. olivia olivia very, them actually. >> emuch. olivia olivia utley very much. olivia olivia utley there. political there. gb news political correspondent. well, look, in the hour spoke a bit the last hour we spoke a bit about what would safe legal about what would safe and legal routes mean . okay? because this routes mean. okay? because this is what its head every is what rears its head every time is a tragedy the time there is a tragedy in the channel. this would be channel. none of this would be happening had and happening if we had safe and legal routes. unfortunately, according i had on according to the guest, i had on there, would be there, it would still be happening because don't happening because people don't necessarily safe and necessarily want to use safe and legal on the off chance legal routes on the off chance that prove who they that that would prove who they are where they come from and are and where they come from and that not actual that maybe they're not actual genuine seekers some genuine asylum seekers in some cases. they would continue to cases. so they would continue to cross the channel i want to focus something this focus on something else this houn focus on something else this hour, conservative mps hour, which is conservative mps have france's efforts have criticised france's efforts to stop the small boats crossing the channel should the the english channel should the french doing more to prevent french be doing more to prevent this of tragedy again? the this sort of tragedy again? the rnli were called in five miles, we believe, off the coast of france before the french

authorities managed to get there. i'm joined now by ben habib. he's a former brexit party mep. he's now advisor to reform uk. ben, you very, reform uk. ben, thank you very, very i suppose the french very much. i suppose the french would have miles would say, look, we have miles and miles of coastline and miles and miles of coastline to here. these people to protect here. these people are desperate to get to britain. we can't do it all on our own, no matter how much money you give us. >> well, can i just say before i answer your point, patrick, what answer your point, patrick, what a brilliant exposition you gave at the opening on this problem. and what a fiasco it's become. and what a fiasco it's become. and you summed it up brilliantly . all i can add to that to your brilliant exposition is the french are complete conflicted with this problem, aren't they? they've they've learned that the more people that cross the channel all the more money we're prepared to pay them. olivia rightly mentioned the half billion pound deal that rishi sunak signed this year, which is to be given to the french over a three year period. but that actually follows hot on the heels of us having paid £50

million, three years ago, £50 million, three years ago, £50 million two years ago, £63 million two years ago, £63 million last year. and the money just keeps going up . so from a just keeps going up. so from a french perspective , they've french perspective, they've recognised and they've learnt that the more people they send us, the more we'll pay them. they keep telling us that they've actually stopped boats on the beach, but we've seen footage, haven't we, of french police standing around doing nothing ? and then we had nothing? and then we had absolutely clear air indication of the french attitude issued on sunday morning when that boat was launched. the people were rescued, but they didn't go back to france. they went in rnli boats and a couple of british boats and a couple of british boats besides back to the united kingdom. that nothing here is working . but of course, the working. but of course, the french and the eu are squarely responsible. the eu are responsible. the eu are responsible because italy and greece don't police their territorial waters. they don't use the un convention of law of

the sea to push back the boats that try to enter italy and greece illegally and the eu are responsible because they've got open borders right across the european union. they've got the schengen zone which allows people to move freely. so once they arrive in greece or italy , they arrive in greece or italy, they're straight on to the extent that they wish to be on the beaches of france. it's a complete fiasco . so the only complete fiasco. so the only country that's got a grip of this is poland , where you don't this is poland, where you don't see any illegal migrants entering poland , having entered entering poland, having entered through italy, gone to germany and then settled in poland . and and then settled in poland. and the reason they don't go to poland is because poland has a zero tolerance attitude to that kind of thing. and it doesn't have the silly. i was going to say stupid, stupid , generous say stupid, stupid, generous attitude that we do. you know, we keep talking about about deterrence being our formula for resisting these boats . but how resisting these boats. but how can there be deterrence , can there be deterrence, patrick, when we're spending

over £50,000 a year per migrant and the french spend £5,000 a year on average , you know, we year on average, you know, we spend ten times as much as the french, that's because we're ten times as more welcoming, welcoming, ten times as more generous, ten times as more protective. they're bound to well, well, also also is a fiasco. >> also as well. i mean, people actually drowning in the channel is not a deterrent. right. so, you know, this idea of the idea that sending them to rwanda or sticking them on a barge or putting them in a hotel or deporting some of them, which we're do, would act we're not going to do, would act as deterrent if people if they as a deterrent if people if they know that who set off on know that people who set off on the boat before them died and they still willing on they are still willing to get on that boat come , then the that boat and come, then the only deterrent, as as i can only deterrent, as far as i can tell, is to stop those tell, really, is to stop those boats the first boats taking off in the first place. appears to be the place. that appears to be the only thing. but ben, i don't know you, but i'm bit know about you, but i'm a bit sick of britain sick and tired of britain copping whenever anything sick and tired of britain copjthis whenever anything sick and tired of britain copjthis happens. er anything sick and tired of britain copjthis happens. yesnything sick and tired of britain copjthis happens. yes itthing like this happens. yes it is a tragedy. yes, we have messed up.

yes, we haven't provided a deterrent, it deterrent, which does make it more people to come. more likely for people to come. but reality is we do not but the reality is we do not treat them like the french. they're in squalid camps over there, riddled camps, there, disease riddled camps, freezing in winter. the french treat worse. it is not all treat them worse. it is not all britain's that are britain's fault that people are dying in the channel and it's an uncomfortable say, ben, uncomfortable thing to say, ben, but i think it's very patronising to these people who get these boats to assume get on these boats to assume that idea of the that they have no idea of the dangers that ahead of them. dangers that lie ahead of them. they do make a conscious decision to get on boats and go across busiest shipping lane across the busiest shipping lane in i think they in the world. and i think they know sometimes . know the risks sometimes. >> i'm sure they know the risks . and i think we've got to stop infantilizing people and assuming that we know better than do the protection than they do in the protection of interests. if they take of their interests. if they take that decision, if they pay money to smugglers to put them on a boat and put them in harm's way, actually they have to be responsible for the risk they've taken. it's not for the united kingdom to step in and protect them against themselves because they've gone there for is a safe

country. i keep saying this, france is a safe country. yes, it's mean as muck and they don't spend anywhere near as much money on migration as we do housing migrants as we do, caring for them, feeding them and so on. but france is a safe country and it is our generosity . it's the fact that we are such a great nation that we are so welcoming that's now causing trouble for us and we need to develop political will. rishi sunak needs to stop sucking up to macron and stop handing over parts of the united kingdom to the european union as he done as he did with northern ireland. stop handing over fishing licences willy nilly to french fishermen and start standing up for british interests. and we've got to use the un convention of the law of the sea to push back the law of the sea to push back the boats as the australians did, it was called operate on sovereign borders. we should institute exactly the same program. it would have to be done. so in a slightly different

way. but the boats have to be pushed back and when we start pushing the boats back successfully, they will stop coming. and when stop coming. and when they stop coming, will be much coming, people will be much safer. indeed, france may see less illegal migration into france. if we can sort the problem out across the channel you might see a de escalation right across europe. >> ben, look, thank you very much. always a pleasure. ben habib there, of course, a fan favourite here on gb news, who is a former brexit party mep, now an advisor to reform uk. look just quickly, i was asking you about whether or not you feel let down. loads of people went into bat for things like the the rwanda deal. the barge for the rwanda deal. people friends it. people lost friends over it. people lost friends over it. people position where people took a position where they actually do they said, look, actually i do think do have a strong view on think i do have a strong view on controlling our borders and having borders, that having secure borders, and that in circles makes you fall in many circles makes you fall out with it makes you out with mates. it makes you unpopular workplace. it unpopular in the workplace. it was controversial view to was a controversial view to have. and then when you see ups left, like left, right and centre like legionnaires barge, it legionnaires on a barge, it falls straight into people's hands, doesn't then hands, doesn't it? then go, i see did want put people see you did want to put people in humane barge. i've asked

people yeah, people about this now. yeah, well, although politically well, look, although politically homeless voted homeless at present, if i voted tomorrow, have tomorrow, it would still have to be tory. it's not their fault that the boats cannot be stopped. that's from annie. but yeah, others on yeah, look, we've had others on saying, this is an saying, look, this is an absolute . i refuse absolute catastrophe. i refuse to to conservatives to listen to the conservatives ever again. talks the ever again. sunak talks the talk, can't walk the talk, but he can't walk the walk. you feel down or do walk. do you feel let down or do you go into bat for some of these government policies at great and great personal expense and actually gb actually it's backfired? gb views a gbnews.com. go to our website though. gbnews.com. it's the growing national the fastest growing national news country. big news website in the country. big analysis, opinion and the analysis, big opinion and the latest but latest breaking news. but get this well, campaigners have this as well, campaigners have blamed at blamed smart motorways for at least 79 deaths. i'm convinced there's more than that. and now it turns out that some cameras on these controversial roads aren't even facing the traffic patrick christys on gb news, britain's news

online gb news. britain's news. channel loads of reaction coming in as to whether or not you've been let down by government policies on the migrant crisis, i.e. you went into bat for them and you feel let down. >> so much reaction. i'm going to do it again in just a few moments time with a lot of your views. but before that, you think the nhs had better things to wouldn't then to do. wouldn't you then threaten for threaten to prosecute staff for using the wrong pronouns? but guess what? that's exactly what's study what's happening. a study has found, in other a found, though. in other news, a study found that some smart study has found that some smart motorway facing motorway cameras are not facing the road. the government has cancelled the building new cancelled the building of new smart motorways over safety concerns and cost fears . on

concerns and cost fears. on a smart motorway, there is no hard shoulder people watching camera footage are supposed to be alerted when a car breaks down in the lane. but campaigners say that smart motorways are to blame for 79 deaths. i'm convinced that there's more deaths than that. to blame. i'm joined now by claire mercer from the smart motorways kill campaign . claire, thank you very campaign. claire, thank you very much for joining campaign. claire, thank you very much forjoining me. now, claire's jason, was claire's husband, jason, was sadly on a smart motorway sadly killed on a smart motorway in 2019. claire we've had an issue of sometimes the cameras steaming up and so they have to be pointed at the sun for them to demist in the meantime, anything can be unfolding on the smart motorway below . so we are smart motorway below. so we are now just seeing that a lot of them are just genuinely not actually looking at the motorway at all. what do you make of this ? >> ?i >> it 7- >> it just 7 >> it just shows how seriously or not seriously national highways are taking the issue. this has been going i've been campaigning over four years now andifs campaigning over four years now and it's just showing that

they're just not taking the problem seriously at all. and the ongoing issues with cameras steaming up, having to be pointed different ways or circulating to a point in the wrong direction and not being repaired to be able to point backis repaired to be able to point back is something that i've been getting emails about for four years now. and it's just ongoing. it's still the case at the junction where jason was killed four years ago, a quarter of the equipment there is still not working . not working. >> the very junction where your husband sadly died was killed. you're telling me that they have actually still not sorted out the camera equipment there ? the camera equipment there? >> yes. and two years after he died, there was an expose done in one of the large papers showing that a quarter of the equipment was still not working and that some of that had been not working at the time of his accident. and then years later, another later , it was shown another year later, it was shown that quarter of all equipment that a quarter of all equipment across entire network was

across the entire network was not working. and even now it's still not working. and i get email after from from email after email from from stated control room operators saying we report this time and time again. you know, we don't want to sit there watching near misses and big collisions happen time after time. it's incredibly upsetting and stressful for them and they report it and it just never gets nothing ever gets done because the technology is not up for it. and national highways is not prepared to spend the money. that's required to maintain such an army of equipment across the entire country's road network that will need as much maintenance as this does. >> i think it is a depressing state of affairs that they possibly have decided that it will be cheaper for them to pay compensate nation to the families of relatives who die as a result of their faulty equipment than it will be to actually make sure that nobody dies is by keeping the equipment up to date and working. is that the sad reality for you? do you

think? >> well , it's even think? >> well, it's even cheaper for them because they don't pay. they don't pay the compensation in a car accident. national highways have never paid me any compensation in a car incident. and all the drivers have to be insured . we enforce that or we insured. we enforce that or we try to enforce that, don't we, that all our drivers have insurance. and that is why i have always felt that they arrest and charge each one of the drivers or a driver in these incidents. they did it against my express wishes , as in jason my express wishes, as in jason and alexandra's case, they prosecuted the driver and i stood in court and i said, i did not want him prosecuted or jailed. and but they pushed through because if you don't drive the if you don't blame the dnven drive the if you don't blame the driver, you've only got the road to blame, haven't you ? so to blame, haven't you? so they pushed with pushed through with a prosecution and then that person's insurance company has to not national highways, to pay, not national highways, but we are we are a bit pressed for time, claire but i just want to ask you to emphasise quickly for us if you can, what happened with your husband, if that's

okay. yeah, it was a minor bump. it should have only ever been that, but because they couldn't get their vehicles out of the library lane because of the crash barrier and they couldn't get over the crash barrier because a 30 foot drop, they because of a 30 foot drop, they ended trapped in the road and ended up trapped in the road and they by a lorry because they got hit by a lorry because lorries can't manoeuvre as quickly fiesta . quickly as a ford fiesta. >> oh, great. look, claire, thank you very much for coming on. and, you know, obviously sorry to have to relive that for you, but i think this is something that is only by listening to stories like that that highlight the that we can highlight the absolute that is taking absolute farce that is taking place on britain's motorways and it suffering the it is motorists suffering the whole as people who it is motorists suffering the whcstranded as people who it is motorists suffering the whcstranded . as people who it is motorists suffering the whcstranded . and as people who it is motorists suffering the whcstranded . and sadly,ople who are stranded. and sadly, the worst scenario happens. but worst case scenario happens. but it is also the people who then do end hitting people who do end up hitting people who might have had to have gone might not have had to have gone through that if actually the system was working. mean, system was working. i mean, everyone's but everyone's a loser, right? but claire, thank very much. claire, thank you very much. it's to have on. and it's great to have you on. and all best. take care. claire all the best. take care. claire mercedes from smart motorways kill campaign uncertainly the kill campaign uncertainly in the case husband case of hers. husband they

places a brighter outlook with boxt solar proud sponsors of weather on . weather on. gb news rishi sunak stop the boats pledge isn't quite going to plan, is it? >> we all know that the government's flagship barge currently houses migrants. currently houses zero migrants. coincidentally that's the number of flights have taken off of flights that have taken off to rwanda. taxpayers are footing a bill for the hotels , a huge bill for the hotels, aren't they? £6 million a day whilst the number migrants whilst the number of migrants crossing the channel in the last five has hit 100,000 and five years has hit 100,000 and counting. look i am saying counting. look i am not saying this is all the government's fault. it is certainly isn't all the government's fault. we know that a load of that there's been a load of other ups. know that other hold ups. we know that there's things that out there's been things that are out of control. know that of their control. we know that there cabal of people there is a cabal of people who seem hell bent, frankly, on undermining anything that the conservatives undermining anything that the consethat ves undermining anything that the consethat there are a lot of know that there are a lot of people who have gone into bat a very costly actually. you know,

they've lost friends over it. they've excommunicated from they've been excommunicated from the workplace over it. they've been hounded media been hounded on social media over they've into bat over it. they've gone into bat for the migrant for things like the migrant barge rwanda for barge for the rwanda plan, for saying that they don't believe wholeheartedly everybody wholeheartedly that everybody coming across the is coming across the channel is actually genuine asylum actually a genuine asylum seeker. are economic seeker. they are economic migrants, have lost a lot migrants, people have lost a lot by sticking their head above the parapet saying this stuff on parapet and saying this stuff on an issue that they believe will be issue britain be a defined issue for britain in the years to come . and then in the years to come. and then when i see things like, look, you've got this barge, just make sure it or sure people can go on it or there's legionnaires. i mean, that's has for that's not helped, has it? for anyone who was trying to battle against the human rights brigade, inhumane brigade, saying it was inhumane to on barge. of to put people on that barge. of course, just had deaths in course, we've just had deaths in the channel very the channel haven't we, very recently. we've got issues at some the hotels as well. so some of the hotels as well. so do feel as though you've put do you feel as though you've put your parapet and your head above the parapet and backed conservatives when backed the conservatives when it's a variety it's come to a variety of different policies being let different policies and being let down them because they've down by them because they've not executed enough? executed them well enough? joining me now is political commentator stephen carlton woods. stephen, thank you very

much do think that there much. do you think that there are out there who are people out there who genuinely lost mates and genuinely have lost mates and suffered the workplace and suffered in the workplace and suffered in the workplace and suffered in the workplace and suffered in their lives as a result of going with result of going public with their views, you know, their views, saying, you know, i do about the barge, actually, i do about the barge, actually, i do barge. and then do about the barge. and then they up one morning and they wake up one morning and find there's find out that there's legionnaires in the water. and everyone saying it was everyone who was saying it was inhumane on there is inhumane to put them on there is laughing them. inhumane to put them on there is lau well, them. inhumane to put them on there is lau well, it them. inhumane to put them on there is lau well, it is1em. inhumane to put them on there is lau well, it is contentious, >> well, it is contentious, isn't it? and yes, there is many people who have lost friends and being cancelled by having a view, as they have on many view, just as they have on many other things. but we've had suella braverman talking tough on immigration in the past. we've had patel talking we've had priti patel talking tough immigration and last tough on immigration and last saturday we saw the sad situation of people losing their lives while attempting to cross the channel. but there's a load of questions around this, patrick, because why was it the coast guard's based in dover, responded to the incident four miles off the coast of france with french authorities arriving 15 minutes later. then after that , everyone rescued was not that, everyone rescued was not taken to the nearest medical

help, which was only four miles away. instead, they were brought all the way back across the channel to the uk. if so many people are hell bent on assisting migrants from civil servants to judges and activists like care for calais , what are like care for calais, what are we up against? really how can the government be blamed for not being decisive enough ? and in being decisive enough? and in incorporating their plans and policies to combat immigration and migrants? >> yeah, i think they've got to come out, though, with this now. so, stephen, i think i think if the if they are going to be blaming, which by the way, i think there is a lot of merit in if they are going to blame, you know, civil servants quotes on quotes, lefty lawyers and all of this, have to start this, they have got to start putting huge amount of putting a huge amount of evidence that forward. evidence for that forward. so they got some huge they have got to do some huge amount of expose work when it comes to a cabal of ideologues within the civil service that comes to a cabal of ideologues witiactuallyivil service that comes to a cabal of ideologues witiactually blocking:e that are actually blocking this. you've up on you've got to then follow up on the mail's investigation the daily mail's investigation of lawyers literally

of lefty lawyers literally taking cash in hand to make up asylum . the government asylum claims. the government has absolutely hammer has got to absolutely hammer that because i think a lot that now because i think a lot of people, a lot of people who are just at their wits end, i mean, doubly their wits end mean, doubly at their wits end because look over at the because they look over at the other parties and think, well, you're nothing about you're going to do nothing about it feel like it either. they just feel like britain is drifting off into the wilderness. but i think that the government to pipe up and government has to pipe up and show some really evidence. show some really hard evidence. now cabal the civil now of a cabal within the civil service exists that service if it really exists that is actually stopping them from doing they want to do. doing what they want to do. >> well, we've seen >> yeah, well, we've seen arguments break out within the party. had the speculation arguments break out within the partyaboutiad the speculation arguments break out within the partyabout how he speculation arguments break out within the partyabout how long eculation arguments break out within the partyabout how long thisation arguments break out within the partyabout how long this crisis now about how long this crisis is going to go for on with priti patel tweeting this morning, criticising ministers about being evasive over plans for future of wethersfield for instance. and they bypassed the usual planning requirements and claims that the site is temporary and for emergency use only. and now they see they've been planning to use the site for five years. so people are getting upset about that. so

when you're blaming the government on things like that, that's definitely behind the government's behind that. but when and implement when they try and implement a decent plan or a plan to try and combat anything , it stifled combat anything, it stifled every obstacle. >> but they let themselves down to an extent, though. i mean, i think that when it comes to like legionnaires in the water, if you did test every single houdayinn you did test every single holiday inn or other hotels or you tested every single hospital all the time or you tested every single council estate , you single council estate, you tested every single this, that and the other, unfortunately, you would you would find that there is legionnaires actually in quite lot of areas. it's in quite a lot of areas. it's not the most uncommon thing in the world. it is not the deadliest thing world. deadliest thing in the world. it's certainly ideal, it's certainly not ideal, stephen, isn't . it isn't stephen, but it isn't. it isn't as bad as maybe could be made as bad as maybe it could be made out. if you are going to out. but if you are going to launch a flagship policy, which is a barge is to house people on a barge and you're going to make such a big of that and you're big deal out of that and you're going have people backing going to have people backing that saying, look, i that policy and saying, look, i don't inhumane to put don't think it's inhumane to put people on this floating barge. i

don't think we should necessarily to the necessarily be listening to the politically motivated fire brigades when it comes to brigades union when it comes to how safe this thing is . then you how safe this thing is. then you better make sure you better make sure that there is not a problem with the water supply on that barge, because actually it makes everyone look like idiots. and i think a problem. a lot of think that's a problem. a lot of people there who've gone people out there who've gone into bat for this conservative party variety different party on a variety of different things to look things have been made to look very foolish of the very foolish because of the execution by the conservative party. yeah well, it's turned into it, into a calamity, hasn't it, really? who could foresee that? >> and who could foresee that? and not actually and it's not actually legionnaires. that legionnaires. it's a bug that causes legionnaires . and you're causes legionnaires. and you're very patrick. that could very right, patrick. that could come up in any water supply anywhere around the uk. but it's just a little loophole that the fire union found or whoever just to put another fly in the ointment to stop migrants being housed somewhere temporarily. but can i just finish on one thing? someone sent me something very interesting over the weekend about margaret thatcher making a speech in the house some years ago. and it went, if

the right honourable gentleman is suggesting that we ever get to a position where we cannot return a legal immigration immigrants to their country of origin, then he is proposing international chaos. very interesting point . and the great interesting point. and the great statespeople just don't seem to be amongst us anymore . be amongst us anymore. >> no, no, indeed. look, it's a good point to finish on that. stephen, thank you very much. stephen, thank you very much. stephen carlton was there, political commentator i've been getting loads emails on getting loads of emails in on this, patrick. feel this, patrick. i feel incredibly, incredibly down incredibly, incredibly let down by this. and that's from dave. he says that he's spoken to a lot of friends and family about what's been going on in the channel. he's expressed his views and some of them people have him off. and have actually cut him off. and then he things then when he sees things happening over weekend and happening over the weekend and what's with the what's been going on with the barge, says that actually, barge, he says that actually, yes, if he feels ostracised by that yes patrick, do feel that now. yes patrick, i do feel a down by the tories, a bit let down by the tories, but let's be honest, whether you like not, there will like it or not, there will probably lose next election. probably lose the next election. so doesn't rishi brave so why doesn't rishi be brave and some decisions? and make some bold decisions? after he got to after all, what has he got to lose? that's from and

lose? and that's from linda and linda. there's a lot in linda. i think there's a lot in that a lot in there. if people really think that if rishi actually desperately wanted to win election, win the next general election, stopping was his was win the next general election, st0|flagship was his was win the next general election, st0|flagship policy was his was win the next general election, st0|flagship policy fors his was win the next general election, st0|flagship policy for want was win the next general election, st0|flagship policy for want of s his flagship policy for want of a better phrase. yeah. is there not a bit more that he could be doing there? patrick we've doing there? patrick yeah, we've all politicians all been let down. politicians only the migrant only care about the migrant crisis so much as it affects crisis in so much as it affects their parliamentary they their parliamentary seat. they don't up their don't want to give up their cushy, job. yeah, cushy, well—paid job. yeah, that's alex. thank you that's from alex. thank you very, very much. just want to very, very much. i just want to know if you feel incredibly let down. you stick head down. did you stick your head above parapet? go above the parapet? did you go above the parapet? did you go above to try and back above and beyond to try and back above and beyond to try and back a party like a conservative party policy like rwanda, happened, rwanda, which hasn't happened, has barge where has it? like the barge where there's issues there and there's been issues there and you've been let down by it? but look, more million look, more than 7.5 million people on an nhs people in england are on an nhs waiting but health bosses waiting list. but health bosses have still decided threaten have still decided to threaten to prosecute staff if they don't use someone's correct pronouns. it see that in this it is nice to see that in this very serious and proper country , we clearly our priorities , we clearly have our priorities straight, don't we? patrick christys on gb news britain's news .

thursday at 8 pm. on. gb news. >> welcome back, everybody. now at 5:00, we will have more on the migrant crisis in the wake of saturday's tragedy in the channel. but before that , with channel. but before that, with nhs waiting lists at record levels, you'd think that health chiefs had enough to worry about. but now let's telling staff that they could face disciplinary action or even

prosecution. yet prosecution if they get someone's pronouns wrong, that is, of course, if they didn't sack them already because they didn't get the covid jab. but yesterday the mail on sunday reported that some trusts are some ambulance trusts are telling 999 operators that they should ask callers their should ask callers for their pronouns rather than risk misgendering them . can you misgendering them. can you imagine? he breathing? sorry imagine? is he breathing? sorry are is she are they breathing? is she breathing? the gender of breathing? what's the gender of it? okay. put hand on it? yeah. okay. put your hand on his chest. their his chest. her chest. their chest. save their flipping chest. just save their flipping life, for goodness sake. i'm joined the former joined now by the former chairman the bma's gp chairman of the bma's gp committee dr. lawrence committee is dr. lawrence buckman. lawrence, thank you buckman. dr. lawrence, thank you very much. seriously very, very much. now, seriously , could we be living in a world where 7.5 million people on nhs waiting lists or, you know, issues when it comes to pay and doctors strikes? but the big focus here, you can't , for the focus here, you can't, for the love of god, you can't miss genden love of god, you can't miss gender. someone it's baffling, isn't it? >> i understand why it's important to not misgender people , but there's a big leap people, but there's a big leap between trying to be polite because it's in the benefit of the patient and yourself to get

the patient and yourself to get the term right and being prosecuted if you get it wrong. and you're quite right in an emergency, the last thing you want to do is worry about pronouns. you're there to save their lives, worry about how their lives, not worry about how you them. is always you call them. but it is always better to use the person's proper name. if you . can proper name. if you. can >> the question whether or not it was a real emergency. if somebody got offended by someone misgendering them right? so like if a relative of mine was in cardiac arrest and someone said , you know, make sure you press on your dad's chest and it turns out that it is my mum. i think if that was my priority, the misgendering there, i would have to question insanity . yes to question my insanity. yes i think that you're quite right. >> i think that would be a very strange response to a stress situation on the idea that we should use the correct terms for people , including whether what people, including whether what they want to be called is a nicety that we use when we're with patients, where we got the time, particularly when new

people are admitted to a ward, do they want to be called by their first name? do they want to called whatever? um, but to be called whatever? um, but in an emergency situation, clearly that's nonsense because yourjob is clearly that's nonsense because your job is to treat the emergency . emergency. >> but how will this work in practise? so as far as i can gather, the nhs might not be the most desirable place for people to work and i just get a whiff of that given that a load of people are leaving for australia and strike, i mean that's and out on strike, i mean that's the general consensus to the general consensus appears to be could be for be the nhs could be better for the people in it. so by the people who work in it. so by threatening with threatening them with prosecution actually prosecution if they actually gently, know, a he or gently, you know, call a he or she or vice versa, and let's be honest with you, in the modern world, that be world, lawrence, that can be very times. it's very confusing at times. it's not immediately who is not immediately obvious who is what is they could what and what is who they could face prosecution. it just seems to me like another way of alienating staff . it's alienating staff. it's guaranteed to alienate staff. >> i can't think anybody wants to be prosecuted for misgendering somebody . i wasn't misgendering somebody. i wasn't actually aware it was a crime. i appreciate it's desirable to

talk to people properly and call them what they want to be called , but to prosecute them and to threaten to prosecute them seems to me a good way of making people to go somewhere else . people to go somewhere else. >> yeah, but they make >> yeah, indeed. but they make a rod their back with this rod for their own back with this stuff they come out big stuff when they come out big time to celebrate pride month and slap a rainbow flag and they slap a rainbow flag across the entire of across the entire ac of a hospital and all of this hospital wall and all of this stuff and getting the stuff and they getting the diversity inclusion diversity and inclusion officers. diversity officers. then there's diversity and pipe up and inclusion officers pipe up with like let's with idiotic ideas like let's prosecute for calling, prosecute a nurse for calling, you , gary geraldine or you know, gary geraldine or whatever the heck it was. and then you end up going, well, i suppose have to that suppose we'll have to do that now offend more now because we can't offend more people and nobody cares. nobody wants it. i would argue the biggest problem at the moment is that got well, record that we've got well, record breaking waiting lists. we've got people who've just been given a cancer diagnosis or a waiting a cancer diagnosis. waiting for a cancer diagnosis. people who can't go and see a gp, because of gp, people leaving because of bad . all of these things bad pay. all of these things should higher on the list of should be higher on the list of priorities . priorities. >> of them are higher up the

>> all of them are higher up the list, prosecuting staff seems to me to be not the way of encouraging young doctors, nurses and all the rest of the nhs staff to call people by the names they wish to be called and in an emergency situation , in an emergency situation, that's completely nuts. in a non emergency situation, it's a necessity and it is the right thing to do. but prosecuting people seems the most bizarre way of solving a problem that wasn't it is there, but it's escalating it to a level, as you rightly say, there are other things important in the health service. >> there's a question that i usually ask for people who are practising and normally people who are on picket lines out there pay and there campaigning about pay and stuff, which they don't like . stuff, which they don't like. and that is why do you think that a diversity officer paid for by the nhs who's on three times a nurse's salary is worth three times a nurse , and they three times a nurse, and they don't like answering that question because they don't like eating their own, because they all work at the nhs. but that is all work at the nhs. but that is a very difficult thing to justify, it? if you're justify, isn't it? if you're out

on and you're looking at on strike and you're looking at layers layers upon layers layers upon layers upon layers of management, some of whom have just absolutely just got absolutely ridiculous jobs, curator jobs, like an art curator at cambridge nhs hospital trust, for example, who's on four times the amount of money as a junior doctor. i mean, can't be doctor. i mean, that can't be justified, can it? why >> well, not by me . justified, can it? why >> well, not by me. i'm no apologist for it. it certainly seems strange that the nhs has all these people . i understand all these people. i understand why they're there . but the why they're there. but the question is, do we need so many of them and do we need them in those places and do we need them at that level of employment? you'll have to ask the people that organise these things, not me. i'm just a worker. >> you're just you're just a worker. i was . yes. just don't worker. i was. yes. just don't look at me now . look. thank you look at me now. look. thank you very much, lawrence. very much, doctor lawrence. always take care. always a pleasure. take care. all doctor lawrence all right. doctor lawrence buckman there, who is the former chairman gp's chairman of the bma's gp's committee. you committee. i mean, can you imagine? i think again, though, again, think again, i do really think i question if somebody an question if somebody in an emergency situation and their primary focus is whether or not they've just been misgendered by a who's trying to save

a person who's trying to save their don't think their lives. i don't think i want to finish that sentence. former home secretary priti patel has accused the government of being evasive over their plans asylum seekers at plans to house asylum seekers at raf wethersfield. so i'll be having a little look at all of that. i'll be asking, of course, who was to blame for the tragedy that took place the channel that took place in the channel over the and what is over the weekend and what is really there? we really going on there? are we just now wasting money when it comes to the french? is there now a case than ever as now a greater case than ever as at least six people have died in the the weekend. is the channel over the weekend. is there case than ever there a greater case than ever to the sas in on to the to send the sas in on to the other side of the channel with cooperation french and cooperation with the french and get people trafficking get these people trafficking gangs apprehended? patrick is on gb news britain's news channel. >> the temperature's rising boxt solar proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. on. gb news. >> hi there, it's aidan mcgivern here from the met office with the gb news forecast. dry air, brighter and warmer weather is on the way for later this week ,

on the way for later this week, but we've started monday with outbreaks of rain clearing northeastwards across the country. some persistent country. still some persistent wet weather associated with a number of weather fronts that are affecting northern england into of wales. for the into parts of wales. for the rest monday. some thundery rest of monday. some thundery showers developing main showers developing as the main band rain clears eastwards band of rain clears eastwards and there'll be some scattered showers elsewhere across the uk into the evening. but eventually a dry , drier theme emerges as we a dry, drier theme emerges as we go into tuesday morning. still all some cloud and some showers into the west, but we've got some clear spells emerging in the south and southeast. temperatures staying at around 12 to 14 celsius. so we start off tuesday with still some shower rain affecting eastern scotland. north east england and scattered showers further west as well into the afternoon. the cloud will build and it will tend to lift into fairly widespread showers . but there'll widespread showers. but there'll also be some sunny spells in between and it will feel pleasant in the sunny spells, certainly compared with monday's

weather 24 celsius, the high in the south, but warmer weather to come later this week as a ridge of high pressure starts to build , we're going to see a bright start to the day on wednesday once any early fog clears and then sunny spells for many on wednesday. and more especially into lead to into thursday, will lead to rising temperatures up to the mid to high 20s in places , the mid to high 20s in places, the temperatures rising , boxt solar temperatures rising, boxt solar proud sponsors of weather on

gb news. >> it's 5 pm. it's patrick christys. it's gb news. who is to blame for yet another tragedy in the channel and what should we do about it now ? should this we do about it now? should this not be the catalyst for us putting british boots on the ground in france and stopping these human traffickers? also, is there no deterrent to people voluntarily queuing up to try to get on those boats, but get a load of this? the guy who found it extinct in rebellion has come out against ulez. surely this has to be the final nail in the coffin for this ridiculous charge on cars. but we're also going to be discussing this as well. now this relates to us here in uk because here in the uk because essentially being warned essentially we're being warned that could our that this could be coming our way. so serious risk of massive, monumental terror attacks in sweden. the foreign office has issued this warning to brits, and they're saying that a lot of it because people have been

it is because people have been burning going burning qurans and there's going to kind of retribution to be some kind of retribution for that. but i think there's a wider cultural problem here, isn't there? yes, you probably should burnt a quran, but b should have burnt a quran, but b , should have a load of , should we also have a load of people willing to kill people who be willing to kill you did? we're going you if you did? we're also going to about this story to be talking about this story as well, crossing the line. yes. people are ridiculously so now it's almost become a trend footage like this, people taking their kids to play on railway lines. yeah, i know. taking their pets to go and sit there for pictures. people doing it for pictures. people doing it for tiktok pranks. they are putting their lives at risk, but they are also putting the mental health and the lives of the people driving the trains at risk as well. who if it all goes wrong, we'll have to deal with the consequences of those people's patrick people's stupidity. patrick christys . gb news. yeah, lots to christys. gb news. yeah, lots to go out very shortly i'm going to be telling you why i don't think it's fair to blame britain for what's going on in the channel.

gb views a gbnews.com. but right now it's your headlines with polly . patrick. polly. patrick. >> thank you. well, the top story this afternoon from the gb newsroom is that bidders for the high street retailer wilko have been given until wednesday to put forward offers to buy the firm, the general goods chain fell into administration last week, putting the future of its 400 stores and around 12,000 jobs at risk. it's understood administrators from pwc have set the deadline to try to secure a dealin the deadline to try to secure a deal in a bid to try to prevent redundancies . shoppers in redundancies. shoppers in nottingham say they're disappointed . noted. our disappointed. noted. our apologies for the wrong pictures there . to men have been stabbed there. to men have been stabbed in what police are treating as a homophobic attack outside a nightclub in south—west london. they were targeted while standing outside the venue on clapham high street last night. both men were treated in hospital and later discharged. police are still searching for

the suspect . a mother and father the suspect. a mother and father have been spared jail over the death of their three month old daughter in lincolnshire . our daughter in lincolnshire. our kyra king was attacked by the family's dog, a siberian husky , family's dog, a siberian husky, in march last year. the animal, one of 19, kept by the couple, jumped out of their vehicle and left the baby with head and neck injuries. her parent, vince king and karen alcock, performed cpr on their daughter in an attempt to revive her. the judge described it as a tragic case as he handed them suspended sentences . the government says sentences. the government says it's trying to clarify when officials were made aware of the legionnaires legionella outbreak on board the bibby stockholm accommodation barge. that's after dorset council said home office contractors were told traces of the bacteria were detected on the day asylum seekers boarded it . all 39 seekers boarded it. all 39 people were removed from the vessel on friday downing street says it expects to return them

to the boat as soon as possible . but the labour leader, sir keir starmer, says the government is failing to tackle the issue. >> i do not think the answer to this is barge use is hotels is massive costs £6 million a day airbase . is that that's the airbase. is that that's the symptom. the problem is that the government has not done enough work to break the gangs that are running this trade, this vile trade, and to process the applications . and so the applications. and so the government has made a complete and utter mess of this. i mean, small boats week last week was a complete fiasco . we would fix complete fiasco. we would fix the fundamentals , go after the the fundamentals, go after the gangs that are running this and process the claims. so we do not have this problem in the first place. the government is set to announce new plans to ensure cancer is detected in people much earlier before science targets will be scrapped and replaced with a new faster diagnose ipsis standard, which will see patients who've been urgently referred and receiving a diagnosis within 28 days,

patients with cancer will then start treatment within nine weeks from the date of the referral. >> while the nhs believes the proposals will help save more lives. cancer research uk says current missed targets represent years of under investment by the government . well that comes as government. well that comes as junior doctors in england continue their four day strike. it's estimated that a million procedures and appointments will be cancelled and rearranged due to the action. the walkout started on friday and ends at 7:00 tomorrow morning. it's the fifth round of strikes by british medical association members since march over a pay dispute . now, as you've been dispute. now, as you've been heanng dispute. now, as you've been hearing today, network rail has released a video of dangerous behaviour at level crossings. if you're watching on television, take a look at this cctv compilation showing a person doing press ups on the railway line. also, dog walkers sitting their pets on the tracks for photographs and even children putting stones on the line.

nearly 50 cases of misuse have been reported by train drivers . been reported by train drivers. all were caught on camera in worcestershire and the west midlands. so far this year. network rail says it's trying to raise awareness and discourage people from risking their lives on the railways . with gb news on the railways. with gb news across the uk , on your tv, in across the uk, on your tv, in your car, on your digital radio and on your smart speaker. now by saying play gb news. this is britain's news . by saying play gb news. this is britain's news. channel >> now we cannot singularly be to blame for people dying in the channel. it is not all britain's fault. it is a huge tragedy that people have lost their lives and it is something that should never have happened. this is never have happened. but this is not all britain's fault and we shouldn't allow that to be the narrative. is an argument narrative. there is an argument to biggest to say that britain's biggest fault lack of fault actually is the lack of deterrent too nice . we're deterrent being too nice. we're hardly processing any asylum claims . we're not deporting claims. we're not deporting anyone. rnli is picking up

anyone. the rnli is picking up the vast majority of boats, even when off the coast when they're just off the coast of it would appear. and of france, it would appear. and we're people stay in we're not letting people stay in squalid cities like the squalid tent cities like the french so that encourages french do. so that encourages people to that journey people to take that journey across channel but we have across the channel but we have to have a at what the to have a look at what the french are doing in all of this around £500 million we've given them. they happy them. they are happy for migrants to be housed in horrendous camps riddled with disease, freezing cold in winter. can you imagine for a second if we did that, what the reaction would be here by our media, by our human rights bngade? media, by our human rights brigade? we are not the bad guys in that situation . the french in that situation. the french treat these people worse than we do.the treat these people worse than we do. the french also have a policy of essentially escorting these boats out, shadowing them because they say that it would endanger the lives of those on board if they pushed the boats back or approached them, which is a very lenient way for the french, isn't it, to get them out of french waters. but this guarantees that migrants will end up out in the middle of the channel. now we all hear about the boat that capsized and the

six deaths over the weekend. but what you may not have heard aboutis what you may not have heard about is that there had been seven incidents, seven of migrants being rescued from the water in recent days. now, the french say that it would endanger lives to push people back, but it is unequip endangenng back, but it is unequip endangering lives to let them go . and i think that has to change of obviously we've got the human traffickers to blame as well, haven't we? i mean, are haven't we? i mean, they are ultimately the fundamental people they are now people to blame. they are now cramming around on cramming around 70 people on each boat. now, i mean, this lot absolutely do not care about the loss of life either here or in the mediterranean, do they? but i must admit , the mediterranean, do they? but i must admit, i was very surprised this morning to see images of people continuing to queue to get on these boats. i was very surprised to see them doing it. the last time that there was a mass loss of life in there was a mass loss of life in the channel britain has messed up the french have obviously messed up the human traffickers are vile, evil people . but are vile, evil people. but britain cannot be held

responsible for people who deliberately and knowingly we choose to put themselves in a ridiculously dangerous and deadly situation like getting on a boat and sailing across the channel just days after people have died doing the exact same thing . gb views us. a gbnews.com thing. gb views us. a gbnews.com get in touch on all of that. joining me now to discuss this is conservative mp christopher chope.thank is conservative mp christopher chope. thank you very much, christopher. it's great to have you the show. quite a lot for you on the show. quite a lot for us to go at here. who do you blame what happened in the blame for what happened in the channel blame for what happened in the chainel blame for what happened in the chai blame obviously the traffic >> i blame obviously the traffic and i also blame the french authorities . authorities. >> you might be interested to know that today i received a photograph from a constituent who was in le touquet last week . on thursday, in fact, at 8:00 in the morning. and he saw

migrants coming from behind sand dunes and getting onto a vessel that had come in from a the sea . and it was coming in towards the shore and in an orderly fashion, these migrants got on board that vessel rather similar to what people did when they were disembarking from dunkirk. and then he saw and it shows in the same photograph that there were two gendarme vehicles very close to the water's edge , and close to the water's edge, and they did nothing to intervene to prevent the people entering the water and getting on to the boat and off shore again, in the picture is a picture of a coast guard vessel, a french coastguard vessel. so what happened was he then saw the boat people got on board the boat people got on board the boat and they then threw their lifejackets overboard. the boats

set off and it was escorted , set off and it was escorted, towed away by the coastguard vessel, the french coastguard vessel, the french coastguard vessel, until it went beyond the horizon. and that's what's happening. >> yeah, you summed up, christopher, you've summed up a couple of things that are facilitating . yeah, you summed facilitating. yeah, you summed up a couple of things there, which is the lack of will or desire by the french, which many people accuse the french of. but also the fact that the human traffickers tell the people who get on these dinghies to not get on french boats . so the french on french boats. so the french approach them barely. they don't want to get too close because the french conveniently say that it would endanger the lives of those on board. so we'll just chaperone you onto chaperone you out onto the engush chaperone you out onto the english of channel and english side of the channel and then also, even if the french did close and say, did actually come close and say, we're going to take you back, apparently , apparently they get apparently, apparently they get in water sometimes these in the water sometimes these people they just refuse to people or they just refuse to get on the boat. so that they

become need of rescue or they become in need of rescue or they just up in british waters just end up in british waters and to britain. none of and they go to britain. none of those things is britain's fault. is it ? is it? >> no , no, it's not. and that's >> no, no, it's not. and that's why i think that the french have got a lot to answer for. and the example i've given from my constituent is where the french gendarme are effectively watching the migrants walking down the beach from the sand dunes and getting on a vessel and embarking . so why are they and embarking. so why are they not intervening? because they don't think it's in their interest to do so. >> do you not think that it's incredibly patronising to these migrants who have managed somehow to get across at least two continents to find themselves there in calais about to get on a boat? do you think it's really patronising thing towards them to say they have no idea of how dangerous this journey is? they have no personal response ability whatsoever for entering into the

dangen whatsoever for entering into the danger. i'm not trying to diminish how horrific it is when something goes wrong and i am not in any way trying to say, oh, look, you know, it's their own fault or anything. that's not what i'm going at. but what i am saying is they are surely aware of the dangers and the risks, and they do enter into that and willingly . that freely and willingly. >> oh, absolutely . >> oh, absolutely. >> oh, absolutely. >> and that's why , um, >> and that's why, um, publicising these tragedies and risks doesn't really achieve very much because people don't think it's going to affect them. it's rather like campaigns against cancer deaths caused by smoking. people don't think they're actually going to be on they're actually going to be on the receiving end of those warnings . warnings. >> and so look , a lot of people >> and so look, a lot of people now and this was a topic that we had in the last hour, we'd be keen to get your views as a conservative mp. a lot of people feel as though they put their head above the parapet for a variety of different conservative policies. so rwanda, a huge numbers of people said it's inhumane . we can't

said it's inhumane. we can't outsource our responsibility party to an african country . party to an african country. what about the human rights in in rwanda? and a lot of people stuck their head above the parapet and said, i backed rwanda. i'm going into bat for it. similar issue with the barge. people said , you can't barge. people said, you can't put them on that. it's like a floating prison. it'll be a floating prison. it'll be a floating grand fell and then people went, no, you know what? the is adequate the barge is adequate accommodation for people who've entered this country illegally. accommodation for people who've entunfortunateuntry illegally. accommodation for people who've entunfortunate .1try illegally. accommodation for people who've entunfortunate . christophery. accommodation for people who've entunfortunate . christopher we an unfortunate. christopher we haven't had anyone go to rwanda yet. we got a whiff of it with an aeroplane that was on the tarmac and the barge has got legionella and i wonder whether or not there's a lot of people who feel very, very let down now. >> oh, they do. >> oh, they do. >> and people are exasperated . >> and people are exasperated. my >> and people are exasperated. my constituents are absolutely exasperated and they've lost faith in the system. they wonder what has happened to our ability to be able to deliver for on any policies . and the problems

policies. and the problems surrounding this obviously include issues around human rights. and that's why i think that if we don't get the right decision in the supreme court later this autumn, then we are going to have to unilaterally bnng going to have to unilaterally bring back control over our own human rights laws instead of having them outsource it to the european convention on human rights in strasbourg . rights in strasbourg. >> do you almost wish that labour was having a go at this now because, as i'm not sure that under the current situation , even the conservatives could really be trying that much more? there's a lot of different policies on the table at the minute, a lot of different things trying to be done at the same time and for a variety of different reasons. not a lot is working if you're being honest. do quite that you could do you quite wish that you could kind of transport into a parallel universe where the pubuc parallel universe where the public labour parallel universe where the publi(an labour parallel universe where the

publi(an horlicker parallel universe where the publi(an horlicks of make an absolute horlicks of this well, and that maybe this as well, and that maybe gets you out of trouble at the next election? >> agree disagree >> i couldn't agree disagree with than i mean with you more than that. i mean obviously government has got obviously the government has got the responsibility to deal with this issue. the prime minister has committed himself to dealing with the number one with it. it's the number one priority for most of my constituents and a conservative government is in the best position to be able to do something about it. but we haven't yet succeeded and we've got to try harder or the will is there, but we've just got to ensure that we are able to deliver and that's what i and a lot of my colleagues are trying to ensure happens is partly through getting better decisions in our own courts , implementing in our own courts, implementing the legislation which we've passed and getting much tougher and with the french and being less naive about all this, the trafficking and the french complicity in a lot of what's going on, how do you get tougher

with the french then? >> so what does that look like? because at the moment it to me it looks like we give them a heck of a lot of money. and then we don't dare say, can you do a bit more, please? and i wonder whether the french whether or not the french realise the more people realise that the more people they through, the more money they let through, the more money we give them. so looking we give them. so we're looking at sunak at pictures there of rishi sunak and emmanuel macron in a very warm embrace. it's lovey warm embrace. it's all lovey dovey it? very dovey stuff, isn't it? very nice. and i get that that's, you know, diplomacy and stuff for the cameras. but, know what? the cameras. but, you know what? can actually do? can rishi sunak actually do? because if he just goes and slates macron publicly, then it's not going to benefit us, is it? so how does that work? how do we get tougher with the french? >> well, by confronting them with evidence such as that, which i've been adducing on your program because what that evidence shows is that the french are allowed ing migrants to enter onto these unsafe very isles in front of their own

gendarmerie and under the watchful gaze of their own vessels outside, which are meant to be dealing with the coastguard. >> so the french are not doing what they have said they're doing. and for which we are paying doing. and for which we are paying them to effectively police that coastline. they're not doing it. so we must confront the french with the facts . facts. >> very interesting stuff. look, christopher, thank you very much. i really enjoyed our conversation, covered a few different topics there. christopher chope is the conservative . look, what do conservative mp. look, what do you make of all of that? of course there'll be more on this story our website at you can story on our website at you can go gbnews.com it's the go to gbnews.com it's the fastest news go to gbnews.com it's the fast

little bit responsibility when it comes to actually getting on the in the place. the boats in the first place. but what mark goes on say is but what mark goes on to say is this. this government has encouraged the encouraged more to cross the channel our and channel by allowing our rnli and our force craft to escort our border force craft to escort boats safely to our shores. i hear what you're saying there, mark. absolutely. hear what you're . one of the you're saying. one of the problems though, is what problems there, though, is what do say to people whose job do you say to people whose job who the rnli to save who joined the rnli to save lives at sea? okay. and to just behave like a normal coast guard, essentially, who are now then confronted with this thing? do you honestly say to those people, don't rescue that boat? they will probably say no to that and just do it anyway. so they are in an impossible position. i understand you completely that the rnli is acting as some kind of uber service for illegal immigration. but else you want them but what else do you want them to do? we can't expect completely normal women completely normal men and women who job that is who go into a job that is nothing to with illegal nothing to do with illegal migration to begin with. to then nothing to do with illegal mirthere1 to begin with. to then nothing to do with illegal mirthere and begin with. to then nothing to do with illegal mirthere and watch with. to then nothing to do with illegal mirthere and watch people then nothing to do with illegal mirthere and watch people drown sit there and watch people drown in channel. i mean, would we in the channel. i mean, would we actually want to do that as well? i suspect not. so yeah,

very, difficult situation. very, very difficult situation. vaiews@gbnews.com but we've got all all the big all the big opinion, all the big analysis news analysis and breaking news on our website. but yes, when i come back we're going to be talking zero. rishi talking about net zero. rishi sunak in absolute muddle, sunak is in an absolute muddle, a conundrum it comes net a conundrum when it comes to net zero. he annoy me? the blue zero. does he annoy me? the blue wall, who then all swan off and vote for wishy washy parties like the liberal democrats? if he rows back on net zero? or does he lose the red wall by ploughing ahead and making everybody schemes ploughing ahead and making everulez, schemes ploughing ahead and making everulez, extinction ames like ulez, even extinction rebellion come out and rebellion have now come out and said that they ulez is said that they think ulez is actually the preserve of the metropolitan elite. metropolitan middle class elite. so the kind of thing nigel so it's the kind of thing nigel farage say. no, it is farage would say. but no, it is roger hallam, of course roger hallam, who of course founded founded founded who of course founded extinction rebellion. he couldn't make

news. the people's channel. britain's news . britain's news. channel >> yes , indeed. well, just >> yes, indeed. well, just a little bit of breaking news to bnng little bit of breaking news to bring you. the police service of northern ireland. chief constable simon byrne has said that he is confident that information mistakenly released information mistakenly released in a major data breach last week, is in the hands of dissident republicans. the details of 10,000 police officers and staff was published online. sinn fein has said that a redacted version of the police data leak has been posted on a wall facing the party's offices. sinn fein's policing spokesperson gary kelly described the move as sinister . described the move as sinister. and he says the document with the names of officers removed was posted along with his own

photograph , displaying photograph, displaying a threatening message. that is the breaking news. more on that as we get it. but i think, sadly, that just inevitable, wasn't that was just inevitable, wasn't it? but rishi it? unfortunately but yes, rishi sunakis it? unfortunately but yes, rishi sunak is due back from his houday sunak is due back from his holiday later this week. and one of the many issues that will confront on his return is confront him on his return is this ditch his this should he ditch his commitment net zero? well, commitment to net zero? well, it's say that many red it's fair to say that many red wall would absolutely back wall mps would absolutely back him if he did just that many kind city mps as well. kind of inner city mps as well. people going for inner city seats, but viewers on gb news can see pictures of the prime minister in aberdeen a fortnight ago. the ago. he announced that the government once again you government would once again you will able to would grant will be able to would grant hundreds of new licences for oil and in north sea just and gas in the north sea just three later, greenpeace three days later, greenpeace attacked rishi sunak's home in nonh attacked rishi sunak's home in north yorkshire in a direct response to that policy . but it response to that policy. but it isn't just the eco activists that are putting pressure on the prime . many in the prime minister. many mps in the blue wall. so these are, you kind of traditional classic tories fear that they would lose votes if the tories watered down their plans . former cabinet

their plans. former cabinet minister sir robert buckland has said recently that it was really important sunak stuck to important that sunak stuck to his guns. is it really important? like, seriously, are people really going to go out there and vote singly on the issue of the environment ? i issue of the environment? i would argue that they've had a choice to do that every single election since the green party became into existence and they haven't really have they? with the exception, ross clark the odd exception, ross clark joins though, who is the joins me now, though, who is the author so quite author of not zero. so quite clear , i imagine, where this clear, i imagine, where this chap on things, but ross chap stands on things, but ross rishi sunak does have a problem facing if he if he if facing him here. if he if he if it's true that he's going to alienate the blue wall by rowing back on net zero, then can he afford to do that? but then also , can he really afford to lose people up north who a lot of the time don't give a stuff about net and don't want to be net zero and don't want to be skint as result of it ? skint as a result of it? >> well, it is true. there is a bit of a civil war in the conservative party over this. as you say, there are those mps who represent the poorer seats who tend to be more sceptical about

of net zero targets and policies , and there are those in the represent seats in the south where voters are perhaps a little more look upon net zero, a little more kindly. but it's not really just a war against, you know, the red wall in the north and the blue wall in the south, because a lot of voters in the in rural seats in the south of britain and rural seats everywhere, indeed , are going to everywhere, indeed, are going to be among those who are going to be among those who are going to be hardest hit by one of the first net zero policies that's really going to have an impact on people, which is the banning of new oil boiler installations from just three years time, 2026. a lot of rural homes off gas grid are absolutely reliant on oil boilers. and, you know, a lot of homes in the countryside are not, you know, they're penod are not, you know, they're period homes. they're not well insulated and don't naturally switch over to heat pumps. so

you know, and can't we means test it can't can't we mean if indeed net zero is as i suspect a luxury issue. >> so for people who can afford to care about it, they do care about it. but the vast majority of people can't. and so they don't care about it. that much. that's say that everybody that's not to say that everybody wants to take a torch to the polar ice caps. that's to polar ice caps. that's not to say wants to kick say that everyone wants to kick a polar bear to death. but at the same time, i think there is a limit to the amount that people muster a toss to people can muster up a toss to give the planet they give about the planet when they are struggling are currently struggling to afford food little. all afford food in little. all right. can't you say to right. so why can't you say to people like in people who are wealthy like in the wall areas, if you care the blue wall areas, if you care that much about net zero, then you that much about net zero, then you pay that much about net zero, then you pay for it ? you pay for it? >> well, yeah . yes. i mean, the >> well, yeah. yes. i mean, the i mean the problem is that these these policies potentially extremely expensive and yet, you know this this net zero thing the whole thing was nodded through by mps, tory mps and

labour mps in 2019 without any vote, without any consideration given to what it would cost the country. and the treasury , you country. and the treasury, you know, two years ago was asked to come up with an estimate what would be the cost and it couldn't do it. it said, you know, the costs are unknowable because it relies too on too many technologies, which haven't yet been invented, haven't yet been scaled now, the polls been scaled up. now, the polls are pretty clear. they say the same thing . you know, when same thing. you know, when people are asked in vague terms, do you support net zero, they say yes, yes, about 70% of voters support it. net zero in in, you know , in principle. but in, you know, in principle. but when it comes to hard questions on specific policies which will affect them personally, financially, they tend to change their minds very quickly. banning gas boilers, banning petrol and diesel cars, things that cost them money. >> it's nice to have. it's nice to have this lovely fluffy image. if you ask people, do you

want to burn to death? then they'll say, no, i don't want to burn to death. but if you ask people do you want to pay for a new electric car? do you want to pay new electric car? do you want to pay every time you take your car off the driveway? do you want pay every time you take your car of1maybeiveway? do you want pay every time you take your car of1maybe take |y? do you want pay every time you take your car of1maybe take shortero you want pay every time you take your car of1maybe take shorter showersint pay every time you take your car of1maybe take shorter showers to to maybe take shorter showers to save on hot water? all of this stuff, all of the actual practical elements of their lives is realistically, there aren't that many people will lives is realistically, there aren'to hat many people will lives is realistically, there aren'to makeany people will lives is realistically, there aren'to make theiraople will lives is realistically, there aren'to make their lives will lives is realistically, there aren'to make their lives morenill vote to make their lives more inconvenient in pursuit of not burning to death. frankly, are there is this not the kind of thing that actually we should go to the public with instead of having these flouncy ideas about, oh, look , we need not about, oh, look, we need to not row back on net zero or they row back on on net zero or they need to actually listen to what the are on this, the people are saying on this, which don't mind what which is we don't mind what you're not you're doing, just not as quickly and you just stop it quickly and can you just stop it a little bit, please, because it is costing us a heck of a lot of money. >> yeah, well, i mean, the problem is there are a of problem is there are a lot of tory mps this sort of tory mps who have this sort of panglossian view of net zero. i think if if you just set think if you if you just set this target for 2050, then magically the technology will

all appear and it'll all be cheapen all appear and it'll all be cheaper. it will save us money and it'll create all these thousands of green jobs and we'll all be wealthier as a result. well it's just simply not happening. and as much as green jobs are being created and they're disproportionately going out china, you know, china's out to china, you know, china's making the wind turbines a lot of the solar panels courtesy of very cheap coal fired energy , very cheap coal fired energy, you might say america is creating green jobs. but in in britain, the green economy is sort of pretty stagnant. it's grown a little over the last couple of years, but it's not really much bigger than it was a decade ago . decade ago. >> no, no, exactly. i am also i am also absolutely convinced , am also absolutely convinced, frankly, that until the oil and gas runs out, we're not going to magically get all of this new technology, which i am pretty sure already exists. but people with vested interests are with strong vested interests are just why just holding back because why would to rinse would they? they want to rinse the maximum amount of profits that can off what is that they can off what is already there sitting already there and sitting beneath so in which already there and sitting bene then so in which already there and sitting benethen we're so in which already there and sitting benethen we're allo in which already there and sitting bene then we're all just which case then we're all just screwed, we? ross, screwed, aren't we? but ross, thank you much. ross clark

thank you very much. ross clark there, who is the author of not zero. now the tories approach to net the subject of net zero has been the subject of today's twitter poll. was today's twitter poll. so i was asking you, would you be more likely to vote tory if they ditched net zero target ditched the 2050 net zero target and results in? almost and the results are in? almost 66% said yes, you would 66% of you said yes, you would be vote be more likely to vote conservative the next conservative at the next election if they change their policy. just 34% said still, policy. just 34% said no. still, lots to between now and lots to come between now and 6:00. out why the foreign 6:00. find out why the foreign office terror attack office says that a terror attack in northern european country in a northern european country is likely. but right now is very likely. but right now it's your headlines with polly . patrick. >> thank you. the top stories this hour. police in northern ireland say they're confident that leaked data of officers and staff is in the hands of dissident republicans. staff is in the hands of dissident republicans . days dissident republicans. days earlier, sinn fein confirmed that a redacted version of the police data had been posted on a wall facing its offices and described the move as sinister . described the move as sinister. in london, two men have been stabbed in what police are

into tuesday morning . still some into tuesday morning. still some cloud and some showers into the west, but we've got some clear spells emerging in the south and southeast. temps others staying at around 12 to 14 celsius. so we start off tuesday with still some showery rain affecting eastern scotland and northeast england and scattered showers further west as well into the afternoon . the cloud will build afternoon. the cloud will build and it will tend to lift into two fairly widespread showers . two fairly widespread showers. but there'll also be some sunny spells in between and it will feel pleasant in the sunny spells. certainly compared with monday's weather , 24 celsius, monday's weather, 24 celsius, the high in the south, but warmer weather to come later this week as a ridge of high pressure starts to build. we're going to see a bright start to the day on wednesday once any early clears and then sunny early fog clears and then sunny spells for many on wednesday and more especially into thursday, will lead to rising temperatures as up to the mid to high 20s in places , a brighter outlook with

places, a brighter outlook with boxt solar proud sponsors of weather on . gb weather on. gb news now to a stark warning from the foreign office for brits in sweden. >> it says the islamist terrorists are very likely to carry out an attack . it comes carry out an attack. it comes after a number of incidents in the country where the quran has been burnt. so in 2017, an islamist terrorist deliberately drove a lorry into a crowd in the swedish capital, stockholm . the swedish capital, stockholm. five people, including an 11 year old girl, were killed. there has been a lot of racial tensions, mainly driven by a lack of integration and very high levels of rapid immigration into sweden, a lot of segregated communities . into sweden, a lot of segregated communities. his into sweden, a lot of segregated communities . his shootings very communities. his shootings very , very regularly, a lot of grenades going off as well. and then that has prompted a series of political responses, which has actually included things like people burning copies of

the quran and thus here we are . the quran and thus here we are. i'm joined now by counter terrorism expert wasiq wasiq wasiq. thank you very, very much . a couple of things here. . now, a couple of things here. probably you shouldn't burn the quran. it's a little bit it's a little bit like when that individual at that chap at batley grammar school decided to show a picture of the prophet mohammed that mohammed to some kid. that was a silly thing to have done. but you also probably shouldn't react that by threatening react to that by threatening to behead or possibly setting behead him or possibly setting off bombs stockholm off bombs in stockholm somewhere. all a bit of a somewhere. it's all a bit of a mess , isn't well look, mess, isn't it? well look, patrick, the fact is that people have the right to burn the quran if they wish to do so. >> people also have the right to be upset as a result of that burning. what you don't have the right to do is to take the law into your own hands because you are upset that someone's gone and burned the quran. and now what seeing increasingly what we're seeing increasingly in like sweden, in in places like sweden, in in britain itself , in places like sweden, in in britain itself, in some of these western nations, france particularly, is that lots of these islamist extremists or sometimes they might just be law

abiding muslims, are then taking the into their own hands the law into their own hands because they're so upset about acts blasphemy or the burning acts of blasphemy or the burning of the quran and they wish to do harm not just on the people who have carried out that attack, but also on everyone else, as if everyone else is a bystander . everyone else is a bystander. and this is absolutely ridiculous and something that we should not be condoning whatsoever . whatsoever. >> but is there actually any way to stop that attitude existing ? to stop that attitude existing? because if you are importing people or welcoming people from parts of the world where it would be normal to think that you can blow people up if they burn a copy of the quran. but how do you stop that? well i think we need to put this into context that in the west, we just don't have a culture of burning books, whether it's religious books or any other types of books. >> we've seen how the did it in dunng >> we've seen how the did it in during the world wars. we've seen how isis were doing it in terms of iraq and syria, or for just destroying cultural and heritage sites . this is just

heritage sites. this is just something that we don't do . we something that we don't do. we have obviously a fringe element of people who do go out and do that. but the vast majority of british people, of western people just don't go around doing that. so what we need to doing that. so what we need to do is we need to try and build some sense of understanding between these people who wish to go ahead and do this. and also to try and moderate some of these extremists because you can, through the law to prevent them from actually carrying out some of these attacks . some of these attacks. >> is this maybe a lesson for us to learn here as well? i mean, the reason i'm focusing on this is because i can see exactly the situation happening here at times, which is that if things offend culture, culture offend people's culture, culture and that that culture is not the indigenous culture of whatever country it is that they're in now, in this case, sweden , now, in this case, sweden, should they really have a right to try to impose their own level of offence onto a society that they're in no , absolutely not. they're in no, absolutely not. >> we have british values here

of liberty, freedom, democracy and that's our culture here. we have freedom of speech and we have freedom of speech and we have freedom of belief. and some of these individuals who obviously carry cultural baggage with them or religious baggage with them or religious baggage with them or religious baggage with them cannot force that onto everyone else . if you wish to be everyone else. if you wish to be upset , that's fine. no one's upset, that's fine. no one's preventing you from being upset, but you cannot expect anyone else to be upset on your behalf and through that upsetness prevent people from saying things or challenging ideas, challenging religion, challenging religion, challenging any sorts of ideologies . because that's not ideologies. because that's not we don't live in an authoritarian regime . this is authoritarian regime. this is not russia. this is britain . not russia. this is britain. this is the west. we do things better here and we can have the moral high ground when things like this do happen. >> do you worry, though, that stuff like this is going to become exacerbated? i mean , if become exacerbated? i mean, if people feel a bit at their wits end of watching rapid cultural change in wherever they're from

7 change in wherever they're from ? i mean, again, i just want to emphasise that i, i personally would have no desire to have a burn a copy of the quran. and i think anyone who does that is probably a bit silly, right? and being deliberately offensive and provocative to say the least. but the same time, you but then at the same time, you know, highlight know, it does highlight a problem, doesn't it, which is that there clearly are massive groups of people who would react to that in an incredibly violent and aggressive way. and i mean, there's no there's no winners there, are there? >> no. precisely. and this is what strategically it doesn't work. so i think what we need to see is perhaps the muslim leaders coming out and actually condemning not just the burning of the quran as a as part of our own british culture, but or any kind of book. but also to moderate our own community and say, look, these people are going to do it. they do have the right to do it, but we can't impose our own feelings onto them. and we need to work with them. and we need to work with them because we live here. this is as well, and this is our country as well, and this is our country as well, and this

is culture was. is our culture was. >> thank you very much. it's always a pleasure to get your take. wasiq. is take. this was wasiq. there is counterterrorism expert joining me a fun favourite, of course, on now standby to on gb news who's now standby to see some absolutely jaw dropping cctv footage been cctv footage that's been released by network rail. it shows how incredibly stupid people can be on train crossings. these are the kind of people that i do not understand how have managed survive how they have managed to survive as they actually have, as long as they actually have, how managed in some how they've managed to in some cases, procreate and raise those children, how they've managed to look after some pets. i'm going to show you some clips that network rail released that to show you some clips that netvwill rail released that to show you some clips that netvwill make released that to show you some clips that netvwill make youreleased that to show you some clips that netvwill make you angry, d that will will make you angry, probably. just probably. but also just just make completely perplexed as make you completely perplexed as to people managed to how these people managed to go to day life. it go through day to day life. it has a thing just mess has become a thing to just mess around at train crossings. patrick

on gb news, the people's. channel >> how do you define stupid? well, they say that a picture is stronger than a thousand words. and what we are about to show you does indicate that some people are, well, stupid . so people are, well, stupid. so let's have a look, shall we? any second now can think of somebody who definitely is stupid in there at the moment, but there we go. hopefully. what's that? there we are. right so this is a level crossing where famously trains charge through. we have barriers, sorts . barriers, we've got all sorts. and what we can see is complete and idiots with kids and utter idiots with kids desperately trying to force their way through. there's loads of this, by the way. there's people who've decided and people who've decided to go and stand middle of level stand in the middle of level crossings do press ups.

crossings and do press ups. there's people the red there's people that the red lights are on, the barriers are down. i'll run across. down. on i'll just run across. yeah, go. wallop a yeah, there we go. wallop a train comes. you most train comes. you know, most moments death. people moments away from death. people who dogs down there who sit their dogs down there and take pictures of it, it's become a complete and utter fad whilst talk these. i whilst we talk over these. i mean, for goodness sake , you're mean, for goodness sake, you're on school run. barrier on the school run. the barrier is coming down. one kid there better back for the other better go back for the other kid, hadn't mean mother of kid, hadn't i? i mean mother of the award there , mother of the year award there, mother of the year award there, mother of the year award network rail has released this just to show how idiotic people are and to raise awareness dangers is. awareness of the dangers is. i can't believe i have say can't believe i have to say this, but play with your this, but do not play with your kids on a level crossing. i'm joined by michelle dewberry. slightly earlier than usual, but we get enough of michelle we can't get enough of michelle here viewers here of course, what viewers won't noticed at home is won't have noticed at home is when you were saying, i think there is someone incredibly stupid out there, you inadvertently pointed to oh, inadvertently pointed to me, oh, no, would do such a no, i would never do such a thing. i never such thing. i would never do such a thing. i would never do such a thing. no, i have a very good working relationship the working relationship with the staff scenes here. staff behind the scenes here. and occasionally we joke by at me insulting them and them

having on chin. having to take that on the chin. but those clips there, how but but those clips there, how do feel when look at, do you feel when you look at, you know, in life? you know, idiot in life? >> is very simple. >> right. it is very simple. there are number of people and there are a number of people and you use the stupid. they you use the word stupid. they are fallen out the stupid are fallen out of the stupid tree being hit by every tree and being hit by every single branch on the way down. and this the end product of and this is the end product of what you there. and also the what you see there. and also the second blame some of second thing to blame in some of these instances is mobile telephones and what do in telephones and what people do in order for clicks and likes in this day and age is mind boggung. this day and age is mind boggling . so that absolute boggling. so that absolute pillock he was doing i don't know if you've got the clip of him is doing like one handed press up source level crossing. yeah and i just think i see yeah and ijust think i see it shortly one shortly. >> but you know i think actually it gets forgotten in all of >> but you know i think actually it ge seriously,n in all of >> but you know i think actually it ge seriously, the all of >> but you know i think actually it ge seriously, the trainf this. seriously, the train driver train drivers when i was working local reporter, working as a local reporter, i used to have to unfortunately go and inquests and things. used to have to unfortunately go and there inquests and things. used to have to unfortunately go and there were ests and things. used to have to unfortunately go and there were are and things. used to have to unfortunately go and there were are people ngs. used to have to unfortunately go and there were are people who and there were are people who obviously, unfortunately hit and there were are people who obytrains , unfortunately hit and there were are people who obytrains , urayrtunately hit and there were are people who obytrains , ura variety ly hit and there were are people who obytrains , ura variety of hit by trains for a variety of different reasons. and what always stood out to me was the harrowing impact statements of what train drivers what these poor train drivers said. know, want to
