6:08 pm
the drill, don't you, this the drill, don't you, on this programme? it's not just about us very much about us three. it's very much about you home as well. what's you guys at home as well. what's on mind tonight? i've got on your mind tonight? i've got a lot coming your way. whether on your mind tonight? i've got a lot the ing your way. whether on your mind tonight? i've got a lot the nhs our way. whether on your mind tonight? i've got a lot the nhs and nay. whether on your mind tonight? i've got a lot the nhs and nay. pronoun it's the nhs and the pronoun usage, laughable if you usage, they're laughable if you ask but very serious ask me, but very serious nonetheless, because people can get a bit of trouble get into a little bit of trouble if if they happen to get if they if they happen to get those pronouns also those pronouns wrong. also i want to about the want to talk to you about the five plan when it comes to five year plan when it comes to migrant accommodation. did you realise to be half realise it was going to be half a potentially that we're a decade potentially that we're planning this a new planning for? so is this a new normal? do think to normal? what do you think to that? is, i've got all of that? if it is, i've got all of that? if it is, i've got all of that coming your way, plus dog attacks lot so shall attacks and a lot more. so shall we stuck in the usual way as we get stuck in the usual way as gbviews@gbnews.com how you gbviews@gbnews.com is how you get a of me on the email or get a hold of me on the email or tweet me at gb news. now 22,500 soldiers have apparently failed their fitness tests. army chiefs have said that this is a failure of leadership over the past three years. now the reason this caught my eye is because the national risk register has also recently been released as well. it says that there's 89 key threats to the uk's security and
6:09 pm
safety , and it's across a whole safety, and it's across a whole spectrum of different things, whether it's cyber attacks or whatever. but it got me thinking . or alex d—tn if threats do present themselves, which of course they will, that is an unfortunate part of life. do you think that the uk is fit, ready and able to defend ourselves? >> i think we're a lot more fit and able than some would think. and i think just like we surprised the world in some ways when the argentines seeking to catch us at what they perceived as a very weak and decayed point in our national cycle , tried to in our national cycle, tried to seize the falklands on my mind because falklands day was yesterday. and britain certainly shocked the argentines with their ability to defend them. so their ability to defend them. so the that arises in my the question that arises in my mind i don't if this is mind is i don't know if this is the 90th risk on risk the 90th risk on the risk register you were just talking about. do again? about. could we do that again? and to that end, i actually don't regard the news you've and to that end, i actually don't highlightingews you've and to that end, i actually don't highlightingew these le been highlighting of these soldiers their fitness soldiers failing their fitness tests. i don't that as tests. i don't regard that as a bad i regard it as a good bad thing. i regard it as a good thing we still have thing that we still have the standards they're to
6:10 pm
standards and they're willing to talk about the fact people have failed them because if you've got this got something like this happening, can hold happening, at least you can hold people standards and seek to people to standards and seek to get most believe get them fit again. most believe me, of the time in the me, most of the time in the pubuc me, most of the time in the public sector, you find public sector, if you find people failing standards, people are failing standards, they the standards, they change the standards, not they change the standards, not the god our the people here. god bless our army. we're going to army. they say we're going to get fit. army. they say we're going to geti fit. army. they say we're going to geti respect your ability to see >> i respect your ability to see the in that. i can the positives in that. i can tell you that. peter, do you share the optimism? >> no, it's several points. the falklands , we very, very nearly falklands, we very, very nearly lost and it was only because the conservative government at the time had failed to sell off and get rid of several important ships that the navy were able to mount the rescue operation. the task force which took the falklands back. it was a very close run thing. and we very nearly lost it. and it's an illustration of the best known fact. all military planners, all wars come out of the blue as surprise or in a shape you weren't expecting. and to deal with that, you have to have of properly trained, competent ,
6:11 pm
properly trained, competent, reasonably sized armed forces with the very wide range of abilities. i don't think we have that. i think ever since the end of the cold war, governments of both parties have used the opportunity to back on opportunity to cut back on military , naval and air force military, naval and air force spending to the point where we now simply don't have adequate defences. certainly in military terms, the that 22,500 figure of those who didn't pass the fitness test, that's more than a quarter of the army that we have now . our army quarter of the army that we have now. our army is so quarter of the army that we have now . our army is so tiny, it's now. our army is so tiny, it's smaller than the one which hitler allowed. vichy france to maintain after they surrendered in 1940. it's that small. the navy, which i feel very strongly about because my father was in it, is a again, a pitiful shadow of its former self. when i was a defence reporter in the 1980s, it was always stated that the navy's surface fleet of destroyers and frigates would never fall below about 50. and now it's way below that and a quite a large number of those. i think are probably tied up alongside not really able to move and there are major
6:12 pm
problems with retention in all the armed services of the crucial ncos and experienced officers who keep armed forces together . and i officers who keep armed forces together. and i think we're we're neglecting it to the point where it is becoming a serious crisis and it needs to be addressed. but it costs a lot of money to maintain to date money to maintain up to date armed forces. and we have cut that the 60s, 70s and 80s. it that in the 60s, 70s and 80s. it was still the case, i think that we spent twice as much on defence as did on education. defence as we did on education. now other way round. now it's the other way round. but schools, but our our schools, particularly it doesn't particularly good. it doesn't seem that no disagreement seem to me that no disagreement from and no from me on headcount and no disagreement on spending. >> i think in the current environment it's plain there are so threats facing so many threats facing young britain west that britain and the wider west that we should be upping spending we should be upping our spending on defence. but one of the things that does reassure me somewhat is it in wear, which area would you increase your spending on? >> what the on the ground, >> what the boots on the ground, the military aircraft? where would that? would you spend that? >> , thank goodness these >> i mean, thank goodness these things aren't entirely up to me, but i certainly think the military needs more resource. and obvious to me is
6:13 pm
and two obvious things to me is upping headcount in soldiers upping the headcount in soldiers who at pointy end. who operate at the pointy end. so i would have i would have more in our military. >> though? e though? >> why, though? because the pushback that be, well, pushback to that would be, well, why all these boots why do you need all these boots on the ground when you're a member of nato? because we deploy all time and deploy our army all the time and it's of the properly it's one of the few properly trained ones. it's one of the few properly trai soi ones. it's one of the few properly trai so that's ones. it's one of the few properly trai so that's part. it's one of the few properly trai so that's part one. it's one of the few properly traiso that's part one. but part >> so that's part one. but part two is that i would spend a great deal more on what the ukraine conflict has demonstrated so useful, demonstrated to be so useful, which technology, which is drone technology, unmanned vehicles and so unmanned aerial vehicles and so forth, because ability to forth, because the ability to deliver quickly deliver ordnance very quickly without risk to a single without risk to even a single person on your side seems in the modern media age to be highly attractive to the person launching an offensive , but also launching an offensive, but also highly on the other highly effective on the other side. it's clear that russia fears few things in the course of conflict with ukraine. of their conflict with ukraine. they fear. don't they don't fear. they don't fear their death but they their own death count. but they do single raids by drones. do fear single raids by drones. and that has really put it up them in a way that other things have. do they fear that? >> i wouldn't know. i'm not sure they're particularly i don't think russia worries very much
6:14 pm
about british armed forces. i have say it's not we've had have to say it's not we've had to scramble to raaf jets, is it today or is that news today? we always talk about this melodramatic able melodramatic scrap able intercept. what happens is some some russian planes fly, some way past our airspace and we send up some aircraft to go and fly alongside them. it isn't actually the big drama that it's made out to be. i believe that aside, you mentioned nato, one of the interesting things about the because was the falklands is because it was out nato area and nato out of nato area and nato members not have any any members did not have any any desire or responsibility to help britain against it. it was quite a struggle to get the united states, which was very divided on the issue, to give us the support which most people expected them to give us at that time. you might well be on your own. it's insurance policy. own. it's an insurance policy. most of the time when you spend money on insurance, it goes down the drain until you really need it. it hasn't gone it. whereupon it hasn't gone down that's what down the drain. that's what that's what defence spending is about. certainly the army is about. we certainly the army is absurdly it simply isn't
6:15 pm
absurdly small. it simply isn't an effective size anymore . an effective size anymore. international experts are beginning to say no longer deserves to be called an army. we need to do something about that. and we spent i think it's something in the region of four and a half to 5 billion on the ukrainian war in the past couple of years. now, some of us would argue that this is rather bizarre concern for britain , bizarre concern for britain, which has no obvious interests in the ukrainian war. but whether it is so or not, if we're spending that kind of money, there, we don't have it to spend on maintaining own to spend on maintaining our own defences. important consequence. >> it's not just military threats . so when i look at this threats. so when i look at this list as a whole kind of host of things, you've got pandemics. yeah, you've got potential cyber attacks , food supply, contamina attacks, food supply, contamina nafion attacks, food supply, contamina nation wildfires , and that's in nation wildfires, and that's in there. storm damage, severe space weather, volcanic eruptions , oceans and then eruptions, oceans and then societal as well. public disorder, industrial action. they are listed as well as threats that could risk life in
6:16 pm
the uk as we know it. >> yeah, and the important thing to remember about that is that whilst we in the modern age, on the one hand, as peter has been rightly setting out underspend on military, we seem to on our military, we also seem to think our military is the answer to if you've to almost everything. if you've got in the migration got a problem in the migration system, in troops. if system, send in the troops. if you've a shortage of you've got a shortage of firefighters, because they're you've got a shortage of firefighstrike,ecause they're you've got a shortage of firefighstrike,ecausin:hey're you've got a shortage of firefighstrike,ecausin the �*re out on strike, send in the troops. sable. actually , troops. and sable. so actually, i don't think the i unfashionably don't think the military is the answer to everything. and certainly everything. and i certainly don't military is don't think that the military is the to urban unrest and the answer to urban unrest and to heaven. >> heaven forfend that we have to do that . that's the very to do that. that's the very third world. >> exactly . the army is for >> exactly. the army is for fighting in the end. and if you send the army onto the streets, it will do what it does. it is not a civil law enforcement. >> why not? because would >> why not? because some would say actually when you look say that actually when you look at the streets and the disorder that's on, some would that's going on, some would argue police are more argue that the police are more bothered policing pronouns bothered about policing pronouns and twitter than and hate speech on twitter than they police. they reform the police. >> you can't you can't >> michel, you can't you can't bnng >> michel, you can't you can't bring in because it's bring the army in because it's been tradition of this been the tradition of this country. the things
6:17 pm
country. and one of the things which distinguished from which distinguished it from all the empires, this the other great empires, this was power, a was a naval power, not a military power, which is why we never huge domestic never develop the huge domestic land the land army to overawe the population, which you would have found germany, correct. found in germany, correct. and russia countries of that russia and countries of that kind. we've never had it. and it's been any politician it's always been any politician who even dreams of using the military in politics or industrial relations is quite rightly becomes very unpopular because people see it goes beyond what we should be doing. and it's a misuse of an army. it's an inappropriate use pay for to defend the inappropriate use state use of state power. >> but the problem is there's a lot of my viewers would completely disagree. >> there shouting, well, >> there was shouting, well, hang then let them. they might. >> well, they might well agree with you in out what you with you in setting out what you think problems are our think the problems are with our current police and current police force. and i would agree a great deal of would agree a great deal with of what said. but the answer to what you said. but the answer to thatis what you said. but the answer to that is to the police, not that is to fix the police, not to in the army. to send in the army. >> but is that >> yeah, but then is that doable? >> yes, it is doable. >> yes, it is doable. >> it's completely doable. and it would take it would take a sensible probably
6:18 pm
sensible government, probably 4 or 5 years to do it. what you do and i've urging it for some and i've been urging it for some time up new police time is you set up new police forces every location, forces in every location, proper, local police forces of the kind they in the united the kind they have in the united states. we to have states. and as we used to have here, the vast amalgamated here, not the vast amalgamated blobs you blobs which we have now, you train them what police are train them in what police are supposed to do, which is which is patrols to is preventive foot patrols to raise of contentment raise the levels of contentment with and safety among the population to and deter crime. and when they're ready, you disband the existing failed police forces and send them home. it wouldn't take long. it would be effective. it would work. and anybody who had any serious interest in the welfare of country would be of this country would be planning i see solutions planning it. now i see solutions short of going that far that may well work. >> w a gm- film'— >> we've seen a couple of policemen in and out of policemen come in and out of fashion, don't they? they tend to be talked about as the coppers copper and then something wrong. but the something goes wrong. but the current chief constable's something goes wrong. but the cu fashion, chief constable's something goes wrong. but the cu fashion, chief c(thingse's in fashion, have done things like insisting that every burglary a in—person burglary has a in—person response, not just issued a crime number. stop policing speech on twitter and get out
6:19 pm
into your communities more. these things work. >> but honestly, this is a complete misconception of what? of what the policing is about. policing is not about every arrest a failure . the arrest is a failure. the investigation of a crime is a failure. what you cannot burgle someone who's been burgled . you someone who's been burgled. you cannot someone who's been cannot stab someone who's been stabbed . you earn mug stabbed. you cannot earn mug someone been mugged . and someone who's been mugged. and the there prevent the police are there to prevent these happening in these things from happening in these things from happening in the to do that, the first place. to do that, they they should have they have they should also have to better once those to be visibly better once those visibly on the streets. visibly present on the streets. if they then the amount of if they were, then the amount of investigation do investigation they had to do would hugely diminished. would be hugely diminished. >> not once >> they should still not once they've happened. sure, >> they should still not once theyit's happened. sure, >> they should still not once theyit's aappened. sure, >> they should still not once theyit's a secondary sure, >> they should still not once theyit's a secondary . sure, but it's a secondary. >> it's a very secondary solving solving crime is secondary for the police. >> totally secondary all. >> totally secondary at all. >> totally secondary at all. >> key the key purpose of >> the key the key purpose of the the prevention of crime. >> that's what robert peel said. one main one of the main one of the main one of the main deterrents for criminals is the belief they'll get caught. belief that they'll get caught. >> one. >> well, if it's one. >> well, if it's one. >> but if you don't, if you're not present on the streets, then then get caught. then they won't get caught. >> one my viewers, >> philip, one of my viewers, piers, question and i wish piers, is a question and i wish that seen earlier on in that i'd seen it earlier on in
6:20 pm
the conversation because i would that i'd seen it earlier on in the c�*passedtion because i would that i'd seen it earlier on in the c�*passed it�*n because i would that i'd seen it earlier on in the c�*passed it to )ecause i would that i'd seen it earlier on in the c�*passed it to the use i would that i'd seen it earlier on in the c�*passed it to the panelrvould that i'd seen it earlier on in the c�*passed it to the panel forld have passed it to the panel for discussion. but he says the way to of societal ills and to fix most of societal ills and perhaps prevent the crimes perhaps to prevent the crimes that we've been discussing that we've just been discussing about national service, he that we've just been discussing abouyou national service, he that we've just been discussing abouyou could nal service, he that we've just been discussing abouyou could bolster'ice, he that we've just been discussing abouyou could bolster the he that we've just been discussing abouyou could bolster the armed says you could bolster the armed forces, you'd stop a lot of crime on the streets and you'd help out you did help the police out if you did that. just talking that. we've just been talking about when the about where and when the military used. there's military should be used. there's some people that would say that actually, why aren't the military when military being used when it comes the border comes to policing the border across english channel, comes to policing the border across leads nglish channel, comes to policing the border across leads ngli nicely nnel, comes to policing the border across leads ngli nicely nnemy next which leads me nicely to my next topic . five years. now, that is topic. five years. now, that is what a leaked memo says, that we're planning when it comes to housing migrants. so this isn't a short term issue, it would seem, is it the new normal? and if so, what do you think
6:23 pm
6:24 pm
finally in capital letters, peter hitchens has just outlined how the police can be reformed. he has exactly the right idea to completely reform the police . completely reform the police. someone else on twitter is saying , why can we not use the saying, why can we not use the army in the meantime , while we army in the meantime, while we do, peter's idea of basically recruiting a whole new set of policing , someone else on policing, someone else on twitter says the army on the streets of britain. goodness gracious me. absolutely not. someone else points out the trouble with trying to retain people in the armed forces. when you see the way that we treat many of our veterans, i you know, i don't really blame people actually for second thinking about whether or not they would want to join the armed forces in the first place. we were talking about where the army potentially be of army could potentially be of use. suggesting that maybe use. i was suggesting that maybe they involved they could help get involved with the border the with policing the border of the channel because we've had about 16, 17,000 miles. agents cross the channel, haven't we? over a hundred thousand, by the way, was the milestone that was passed since, i think 2018. of course, you've seen the sad loss
6:25 pm
of life at the weekend . peter, of life at the weekend. peter, there was a leaked memo about there was a leaked memo about the potential placement of these people which referenced timespans as long as five years, in some cases , which gives the in some cases, which gives the impression that this is not going away any time soon. the government clearly don't think it is. so have we just got to get used to this? >> well, it would be wise for them to plan, wouldn't it? because they have so failed because they have so far failed so completely to get any of so completely to get any sort of grip real problem is grip on it. the real problem is that channel used be that the channel used to be partly a physical and partly a psychological people psychological barrier. people didn't cross didn't think you could cross it and they discovered that and then they discovered that they turned out to they could and it turned out to be easy, be extraordinarily easy, provided was was provided the weather was was good. and so there is now this enormous difficulty. my view on this has been for a long time. if you want to stop it, it's not by any means the only migration problem in country has problem in this country has legal migration into this country on a scale country is huge and on a scale which i think is 606,000 net migration is not being carefully thought about by those who who
6:26 pm
have to provide the resources and the places to live and the and the places to live and the and the places to live and the and the schools and the hospitals for the vastly increased population where are rapidly getting but leave that aside for a moment. the only real solution to the problem , as real solution to the problem, as indeedit real solution to the problem, as indeed it would to be the similar problem of crossing the mediterranean , is to stop people mediterranean, is to stop people from getting into the boats in the first place. and for this we have to rely on france. and i think we have not tried sufficiently or negotiated hard enough the french about the enough with the french about the job which they have to do, in my view, of preventing these people from getting into the boats in the first place. no one can stop it entirely. but the one actual force which can seriously restrain it is the french state. and if we can get the french state on our side and it would be very, very costly to do so. and i don't doubt that then we can make an impact on it. but otherwise, i don't think it's going to change. >> i definitely don't think >> no, i definitely don't think it's to change. and my it's going to change. and my view certainly agree view is certainly would agree with alex, even at the
6:27 pm
with that. but alex, even at the weekend saw the very sad, weekend you saw the very sad, you situation where people you know, situation where people were the channel drowning were in the channel drowning very actually the very close actually to the french shore. but yet even despite that, those people were then brought over into dover. so it seems that the will of the french is lacking, to put it mildly. yeah. >> there are two points that i've seen disputed in the most recent incidents. the first is how close they were to the french shore, but i've never seen any suggestion they were close to the uk. they were clearly much to france clearly much closer to france than were to here. the than they were to here. and the second broader second is whether the broader french effectively to french policy is effectively to escort boats once in the escort boats once they're in the to the uk rather than to water the uk rather than seeking them back. seeking to turn them back. supposedly the have this supposedly the french have this policy the boats policy that once the boats underway, would it would be underway, it would it would be too danger to try and too much of a danger to try and turn around. and turn the boat around. and therefore, thing to therefore, the safest thing to do effectively as do is effectively act as a ferrying service or at least a chaperoning service to the to these and there's these shores. and there's disputes about both of those things. has basically things. but what has basically convinced about this point convinced me about this point that peter has made that the biggest onus is on french biggest onus is on the french and what they do is the
6:28 pm
arguments to be made by tim loughton mp, because he's made the this week in in the the point this week in in the debates about this that when the french police seek to stop those coming to the united kingdom unlawfully, they only act in the time between getting on a boat and that boat, setting off. and if and if they stopped them , if and if they stopped them, they just release them back into released back into the wild. they just let them back to roam in bushes and the dunes in the bushes and the dunes until they can try again . now, until they can try again. now, someone this country someone found in this country without a lawful or right without a lawful reason or right to be here will some way or to be here will in some way or other. we debate how other. and we can debate how sympathetically they get sympathetically and how they get treated and where they get where they stay forth. but they stay and so forth. but someone that situation in the someone in that situation in the united kingdom dealt with in united kingdom is dealt with in one the one way or another by the authorities system authorities in the french system is effectively catch and release. the french system is unless are actually in the unless they are actually in the water, which you're water, at which point you're going them back to. going to bring them back to. they're into they're about to set out into the water, but they haven't actually your knees. actually gone past your knees. then boat and then you can stop their boat and bnng then you can stop their boat and bring back. but then they bring them back. but then they let them go. so the responsible is almost entirely on the french
6:29 pm
because would do that at because we would not do that at all this country. all in this country. >> would deal with >> i would seek to deal with them. think you're being them. i think you're being overly own overly fair to our own authorities. >> it seems to me that when a lot when they arrive lot of people, when they arrive here, they may encounter the authorities, but they are pretty much their devices authorities, but they are pretty m|many their devices authorities, but they are pretty m|many cases. eir devices authorities, but they are pretty m|many cases. and devices authorities, but they are pretty m|many cases. and all devices authorities, but they are pretty m|many cases. and all the ces in many cases. and all the figures have for people figures that we have for people coming ashore are those who coming ashore are of those who have the have actually encountered the authorities. we don't know, at least is to try. least our policy is to try. >> seems the official >> it seems that the official french policy is once apprehended release apprehended to simply release again, praising again, i'm not i'm not praising the behaviour of the forces of law of either nation this law of either nation in this particularly, think particularly, but i don't think that much we have much that we have much we have much on french this myself. on the french in this myself. >> the once people have arrived in this in this country , they in this in this country, they tend stay. tend to stay. >> ask you very quickly, >> let me ask you very quickly, the echr this would go around in this circle all the time. whenever there's issue, whenever there's an issue, whenever crossing whenever there's a big crossing there, concept of there, this this concept of leaving the echr always comes up. would you that or not? >> don't think we'll make any >> i don't think we'll make any difference. that the difference. i think that the problem that if the problem is that if the particularly the eu countries, which includes, of course, france , would take view that
6:30 pm
france, would take the view that if we if we pulled out of the echr , they would then pull out echr, they would then pull out of quite important trading of other quite important trading and agreements us. and other agreements with us. they very, very they would punish us very, very heavily for doing they would punish us very, very heaitly for doing they would punish us very, very heait wouldn't for doing they would punish us very, very heait wouldn't be for doing they would punish us very, very heait wouldn't be a for doing they would punish us very, very heait wouldn't be a cost doing they would punish us very, very heait wouldn't be a cost free; so. it wouldn't be a cost free event. and i think that's why governments are afraid of doing it. and whenever, you know , when it. and whenever, you know, when the are in real trouble , the tories are in real trouble, they about getting they start talking about getting out echr. don't out of the echr. but i don't think they would. it's all very well saying, well, the canadians don't echr they have don't have an echr they do have their own home grown charter of rights freedoms, which has rights and freedoms, which has many on canada. but many bad effects on canada. but the fact is we have got the echr . we have not merely signed it, but we've enshrined it under the blair government in our own law, and we're stuck with it. and people don't realise just how little action, modern little freedom of action, modern governments have in such in such matters how much we can be matters and how much we can be punished for breaking away from this. so i doubt very much a whether anything will happen or b if it did that, it would work. the problem that we have to face is , as i say, we have to we have
6:31 pm
is, as i say, we have to we have to control our own immigration by deciding that's what we want to do with all the political consequences, as with matters that we're sovereign and that we're sovereign over and oven that we're sovereign over and over, of the over, the crossing of the channel by migrants, we have to get the french and i say it will cost a great deal and it will need a great deal of tough need a great deal of very tough diplomacy. to get the diplomacy. we have to get the french stop leaving the french to stop them leaving the shores in the first place. >> where are you on that echr thing? >> the notion that somebody can cross nations in order cross many safe nations in order to pick they wish to cherry pick where they wish to cherry pick where they wish to for asylum or refugee to apply for asylum or refugee status is currently true under international in my international law, and in my view, an absolute view, it makes an absolute mockery of international law and current current current interpretation. current interpretations current interpretation. current inter leave ions current interpretation. current interleave the echr, but what . i'd leave the echr, but what about the unintended consequences that other people might highlight? consequences that other people migseeiighlight? consequences that other people migseeiighligand about >> see here and there about potential tampering with trade relations and all the rest of it? about that? it? what about that? >> countries are entitled >> other countries are entitled to to respond as they wish. to seek to respond as they wish. they tantrums if they they can have tantrums if they wish. but you were asking us whether not intellectually whether or not intellectually and right and philosophically the right thing continue thing to do would be to continue to to organisation, to cleave to that organisation, not to what? >> tantrums saying here. >> tantrums we're saying here. there in agreements there are actually in agreements
6:32 pm
which signed, have there are actually in agreements which to signed, have there are actually in agreements which to remaini, have there are actually in agreements which to remain withinave there are actually in agreements which to remain within the pledged to remain within the echr, the echr , you know better echr, the echr, you know better than most how much i despise the surrender we made in northern ireland. but the echr is pretty much embodied in the agreements we have there. people raise that it doesn't. no one has to have a tantrum. all they need to do is say, you said you'd do this in return for this. you haven't done it. return for this. you haven't doneit.so return for this. you haven't done it. so we will now hamper trade other relations with trade and other relations with with you in response to what you've done. we are not the problem with this country ever since the 1970s is that it has given away so much of its sovereignty and people don't realise how little room for manoeuvre. a british government has in these matters. i would wish it were otherwise, but if you want, if people want to take those those routes, they have to understand that they have hard consequences which they may find hard to deal with and they expect, don't like it. i don't expect, i don't like it. i don't advocate it. just saying advocate it. i'm just saying this what we face. this is what we face. >> there are prices to bear for being country, being a sovereign country, proper control of proper defence and control of
6:33 pm
one's of being one's borders is part of being a sovereign country. if there are pnces sovereign country. if there are prices to bear, they are to be borne. there you go. borne. well, there you go. >> i'll tell something >> and i'll tell you something that absolutely the that absolutely does impact the amount crossings amount of channel crossings is the that warm feeling the weather that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers, proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. sponsors of weather on. gb news. >> hi there. it's aidan mcgivern here from the met office. with the gb news forecast rain today , clearing overnight. a few showers following, but many places will be fine during tuesday as low pressure moves into the north sea, taking its weather fronts with it. however, one occluded feature is just providing some additional rainfall to the northeast of england through the night. some damp weather continuing here. eventually it becomes light to moderate rain showers across western areas, drier towards the southeast with some clear spells . but wherever you are, it's not going to be a cold night. it's 12 to 14 celsius generally , and 12 to 14 celsius generally, and it will be a bright start to

. gb news. >> well, there you go. look, if i had a pound for everyone that's emailed in on that first topic, in terms of defending our country and suggested national service would a very rich service would be a very rich individual. but di has been in touch saying i'm an ex—soldier of many years service and i have to say this to anyone who's calling for national service. it is a terrible idea. you said there's enough of a problem as it stands, getting people who volunteered to even pass their fitness tests and all the rest of it, let alone adding a demotivated, uninterested cohort of young men and women. he says most of the people that call for national service are either in their 60s, so they're too young to have even done it, or they're too old to be included so that it never actually hit their way anyway, he says . let me give anyway, he says. let me give your viewers this little adage. he says , one volunteer is worth he says, one volunteer is worth ten pressed men. so in summary, no to national service. i'll leave you to ponder that. do you have a dog? oh, well, there you go. you've got agreement from

radio. >> hello there . i'm michelle >> hello there. i'm michelle dewberry till 7:00. columnist for the mail on sunday, peter hitchens alongside me, as is the pr consultant alex deane. ken says perhaps you can ask your guests this question. michelle this is all back to that conversation we've just been having the having about migrants. the crossings of channel, and do crossings of the channel, and do we need to accept as we just need to accept it as a new norm? talking about whether or we can get france to or not we can get france to actually and do their actually step up and do their job, try and stop job, which is to try and stop these crossings, ken says. can you ask your your panel, why can't we, the look can't we, the uk, look at leveraging, restricting and suspending french fishing suspending the french fishing licences as if the french don't play licences as if the french don't play ball and stop they're play ball and stop what they're what they're supposed to be, play ball and stop what they're what tis y're supposed to be, play ball and stop what they're what tis the supposed to be, play ball and stop what they're what tis the crossings?to be, which is the crossings? >> well, it might be an approach. i don't know. the general response the french, approach. i don't know. the geyourl response the french, approach. i don't know. the geyou tryzsponse the french, approach. i don't know. the geyou try and1se the french, approach. i don't know. the geyou try and get the french, approach. i don't know. the geyou try and get tough french, approach. i don't know. the geyou try and get tough with h, if you try and get tough with them, is to get tough back. and
6:40 pm
i don't. and that kind of pressure work. pressure might might not work. i don't know you. i wouldn't rule anything out in getting this done, would prefer a done, but i would prefer a different negotiation to different form of negotiation to that if i wanted to get that one. if i wanted to get results. the thing results. one of the thing i admire the french for is they for stand up themselves as a country in a way which we ought to. and they also, if you push them around, the chances are they'll push i that they'll push back. i doubt that would work. >> turn a blind emu—l >> they also turn a blind eye to suit their interests because suit their own interests because it's they're letting it's plain they're letting people the north it's plain they're letting peoplof the north it's plain they're letting peoplof france the north it's plain they're letting peoplof france on the north it's plain they're letting peoplof france on the the north it's plain they're letting peoplof france on the basis)rth coast of france on the basis they'll go somewhere else and be someone else's problem. >> yeah, that's >> well, yeah, that's what i think. would. yes, think. i think why would. yes, okay. as the french take okay. as long as the french take these million why would these million pounds, why would they stop them? these million pounds, why would the fundamental them? these million pounds, why would the fundamental problem here, >> fundamental problem here, michel, is actually goes back to david cameron and his stupid war in which actually in libya which which actually opened mediterranean, opened up the mediterranean, which not a huge which previously was not a huge crossing migrants and crossing point for migrants and changed europe forever . changed europe forever. >> yeah, there you go. it's changed europe forever. forever. ken not much buy in there for your suggestion. i think it sounds like quite a good one. what be the worst that
6:41 pm
what could be the worst that could we were indeed could happen if we were indeed to propose that? don't know. to propose that? i don't know. you now. let's talk you tell me now. let's talk dogs, shall we? because parents of a three month old little girl, she killed basically. girl, she was killed basically. she in her pram by her, one she was in her pram by her, one of her parents dogs. they've got i think it's 16 or 19, 18 husky dogs. anyway long story short, these people now, the owners of this dog have been spared, jailed today. also in the news, there was a really horrible picture of a little five year old girl, alex. that's had her cheek kind of ripped off by a dog dog attacks are on the rise in this country. dog dog attacks are on the rise in this country . what do we do in this country. what do we do about it? who's responsible? >> it's almost axiomatic in politics that dog legislation has been most of the significant examples of bad legislation passed in a hurry. and it happenedin passed in a hurry. and it happened in the dog days, no pun intended, of the last tory government when there was a long hot summer and a spate of attacks like this and it produced legislation and we've spent a generation wrestling with and seeking to disentangle
6:42 pm
and i love dogs and i declare that interest, although i don't have one now because i think it'd be irresponsible to have one whilst living in london and not able to exercise it enough. these, this, this , this couple these, this, this, this couple had 19 dogs, big dogs, and i see them on the screen now. it's very difficult to imagine exercising them adequately . one exercising them adequately. one never wishes to second guess a judge or a jury because i wasn't there to hear the evidence. and i didn't hear the accounts that were given. and am sure these were given. and i am sure these parents meant no harm to their child . and it's a tragic incident. >> this is just so you know, what i'm showing on the screen while talking. sorry while you're talking. i'm sorry to this is the van. to cut in, but this is the van. so this family, they had multiple, what saying, 19 multiple, what we're saying, 19 husky dogs. so what they used to do, their van. they used do, this is their van. they used to take these dogs out racing basically. what happened basically. and what happened was they the in the they didn't put the dogs in the cages you've just seen at cages that you've just seen at the of van. they jumped the back of the van. they jumped over front seat attacked over the front seat and attacked the girl while she was at the little girl while she was at the little girl while she was at the side. that's the cages the side. so that's the cages and the sledge thing, and that's the sledge thing, whatever is. whatever it is. >> and it seems to me
6:43 pm
>> correct. and it seems to me that plainly there was something terribly that plainly there was something terrfacts speak for that plainly there was something terr facts speak for themselves. the facts speak for themselves. it in the death of this it resulted in the death of this poon it resulted in the death of this poor, blameless infant. so whilst don't guess the whilst i don't second guess the judge determination they judge and the determination they made, the fault made, it seems to me the fault here lies with the owners and the rspca. >> they want to extend the dangers. dog breeds list peta. they want to have dog licences to be reintroduced like they do in northern ireland and they want a national database of all the dogs, the breeds, their behaviours , etcetera. what do behaviours, etcetera. what do you say? >> well, maybe i mean they will have thought about it more than ihave have thought about it more than i have maybe things i have and maybe these things will i think that the will work. but i think that the what is the difficulty here is that we all look and we see a child killed or horribly wounded by and feel so grieved by a dog and we feel so grieved and angry that we think anything must be good. something must be done. this is something. let's done. this is something. let's do it. i'm not rejecting any idea particularly that an expert organisation, the rspca, might have, but i think a lot of the problem lies not in the
6:44 pm
particular tragic cases like the one in the parents who kept all these dogs, which we were just discussing . but the presence in discussing. but the presence in large parts of the country of people who deliberately own dogs, which they choose because of their aggressive nature and the danger with them. and i think this is all part of the absence of power in the hands of authority in our country and the growing power of the lawless. and i think that's the real problem which many people face. you live in an area where there are people like that with dogs like that, you're afraid of it. and that back to something and that goes back to something we discussing earlier. this we were discussing earlier. this country properly country needs to be properly policed and people of that kind country needs to be properly policeto and people of that kind country needs to be properly policeto bei people of that kind country needs to be properly policeto be curbede of that kind country needs to be properly policeto be curbed by that kind country needs to be properly policeto be curbed by thet kind country needs to be properly policeto be curbed by the byind country needs to be properly policeto be curbed by the by the need to be curbed by the by the constant presence of lawful power authority the power and authority in the streets, don't have at power and authority in the stre moment. don't have at power and authority in the stre moment. but don't have at power and authority in the stre moment. but i'd1't have at power and authority in the stre moment. but i'd sayiave at power and authority in the stremoment. but i'd say i'm at power and authority in the stre moment. but i'd say i'm not the moment. but i'd say i'm not going to argue with the rspca. they know about this much more than do. but as alex rightly than i do. but as alex rightly said, the 1991 dangerous dogs act has a big problem. act has has been a big problem. >> it been a disaster. there is a problem here, maybe too
6:45 pm
complicated get into, but it complicated to get into, but it seems to me on the one hand, it's a very brave minister who looks this set of facts and looks at this set of facts and turns on the breakfast tv couch presented with the death of these children says, these poor children and says, well, we must maintain a sense of proportion and these things don't happen that often. >> this happened >> the fact this happened a couple times shouldn't prompt couple of times shouldn't prompt knee what knee jerk legislation. what the audience to say is audience wants them to say is something be done and something will be done and i'm going and i'm going going to hang on and i'm going to it. then few months or to do it. then a few months or a year or two later, when the minister has banned certain breeds certain characters, breeds or certain characters, mystics people having their mystics and people having their dogs put down the same, people mystics and people having their dogssay, down the same, people mystics and people having their dogssay, dow is:he same, people mystics and people having their dogssay, dow is madness. people will say, this is madness. >> yes, well, you know, i will never ever until my never forget that ever until my dying my with dying day is my brush with death. i can tell you i was nearly attacked by a pack of dogs. i will never forget it as long as live. it was in long as i live. it was in vietnam. on my own and vietnam. i was on my own and i was chased by a pack of dogs in detroit. >> i'm telling you, i've never run so fast in life, run so fast in my life, especially given i was 60 at the time. amazing sight. time. it was an amazing sight. but we made and i was but they we made it and i was trapped also in a shed by trapped once also in a shed by by a savage alsatian. i had to

open up their lives. therapy dogs , she says, are incredible , dogs, she says, are incredible, barry says when it comes to dangerous dogs , owners, he says, dangerous dogs, owners, he says, are always to blame. now, let's speak hospital, shall we? because apparently some hospitals are threatened. employees with disciplinary action if they have the audacity. everyone wait for it to use the wrong pronoun. as i have to say, i find this absolutely absurd . and as absolutely absurd. and as a medical professional, you just want to help somebody as best you can and all these layers of ridiculousness . i don't even ridiculousness. i don't even know where they're coming from. >> so it's completely absurd per se. but just to add to the ipso, that's the first principle. but to the absurdity, see the to add to the absurdity, see the articles we've been looking at, make it very clear it's not just he she. different way round. he or she. different way round. no coy a here. i mean how no z, z. coy a here. i mean how are supposed to remember are you supposed to remember the pretended made up identity that's alone that's been adopted, let alone use it? look, i if a chap, big chap with a beard asked me to call him susan, i very well might because i am polite . but might because i am polite. but he has no right to compel me to believe something opposite to
6:51 pm
that which i believe, but would you call him? >> would you call this bloke? she >> well, i might choose to, but the state has no right to compel me to, nor does my employer to. >> do you agree with that? >> do you agree with that? >> i do, actually. i think it's perfectly reasonable to if people strongly, people feel this strongly, it's not my to business know not it's not my to business know the inside of their souls or minds, if that's what they that's they ask to do, that's what they ask us to do, then it's polite to do it. then it's only polite to do it. but to be compelled to do it. so to be either under the threat of law or under the threat of loss of employment seems to me to be something different. and something quite different. and this happening. this all these things happening. what they tell me is the what they tell me is that the revolution has already happened in that the in this country, that the sensible long lost sensible people long ago lost lost and authority. lost power and authority. and we're the we're now actually under the control completely control of a completely different regime from the one that we think is running us. but no , i disagree. compulsion is absurd. >> disagree on last >> i disagree on that last point. think we've point. i actually think we've gone peak trans. i think if gone past peak trans. i think if you see the efforts of sporting bodies to keep men out of women's sports, their women's sports, where their their dangerous, their competition is dangerous,
