. between 2015 and 16. letby refused to attend court today , refused to attend court today, handing down the sentence. mr justice goss said there was premeditation calculation and cunning in her actions. >> you acted in a way that was completely contrary to the normal human instincts of nurturing and caring for babies and in gross breach of the trust that all citizens place in those who work in the medical and caring professions . caring professions. >> impact statements from parents were heard by the court this morning. the mother of one baby murdered by lucy letby, says her experience in hospital was like something out of a horror story. another said she was haunted by vivid images and that letby had destroyed her life after two of her triplets were killed and a further mother of two of letby victims, one of whom survived court her absence in court. a final act of

wickedness from a coward . well, wickedness from a coward. well, labour leader sir keir starmer says that if the government doesn't change the law, they'll force an amendment out. >> we need to change the law. i hope the government will do it, because i think it can be done very quickly. if they do not, we will force an amendment to appropriate legislation . but appropriate legislation. but actually my position is to invite the government to get on with it , to offer labour support with it, to offer labour support . so this could go through very, very quickly . this isn't the very quickly. this isn't the first case. the government has been dragging its heels on this . get on with it for the sake of these victims. and of course the other cases that went before it , the prime minister has defended the non—statutory inquiry announced by the government into letby crimes amid calls for it to be put on a statutory footing with the power to compel witnesses to appear before it. >> well, i think the important thing for the inquiry to do is make sure that families get the answers that they need, that it is possible for us to learn the

lessons from what happened. >> everything conducted transport currently and to happen as quickly as possible. those are the objectives that we want for the inquiry and will make sure that it's set up to deliver on those aims . deliver on those aims. >> two other news now. a 700 migrants have crossed the engush migrants have crossed the english channel so far today as the border force begins a week of so—called red days. the force's internal red alert system is predicting high numbers of arrivals after poor weather in the channel in recent weeks. forecasters are now expecting close to ideal conditions. gb news has reported that 13 small boats had made it to uk waters by midday today, with at least 700 migrants transferred to several border force vessels and lifeboats . a force vessels and lifeboats. a 50 year old man will appear in court today following the major police data breach in northern ireland. he's been charged with possessing documents likely to be useful to terrorists . it's be useful to terrorists. it's after the details of 10,000 officers and staff were

published online by mistake . the published online by mistake. the leak contains the surname and initial of every employee their rank, where they're based and the unit they work in. police believe the information is now in the hands of dissident republicans . the government is republicans. the government is calling on housing associations, social landlords and developers to review tenancy contracts to help childminders work from home. many living in rented accommodation are preventing from using their homes for business purposes. the department for education says too often prospective childminder are having the door slammed in their face, while the government is also bringing in measures to encourage more people to care for school aged children, including a £1,200 start up . grant from today, start up. grant from today, londoners are eligible for a cash grant of up to £2,000 for cars that don't comply with ulez policies. the mayor of london scrappage scheme will cost around £110 million. it begins

today ahead of the expanded ultra low emission zone, which will cover all london boroughs from the 29th of august. but the policy faces opposition in other parts of government, with a council leader in hertfordshire refusing to erect signs warning drivers of the new low emission zone. >> he's really rushed this through. he only announced in november last year that he was going to do this. so people have had less than a year at a time of real financial pressure potentially to try to replace their now we're seeing their car. and now we're seeing this evidence that the benefits that are touted for ulez that are touted for the ulez expansion are either very small or, you know, question or, you know, there's question marks the evidence behind marks about the evidence behind them . i think whole policy them. i think the whole policy is needs, needs a is really needs, needs a rethink. this the best way to rethink. is this the best way to clean up london's air and have people enough time to clean up london's air and have peo ready enough time to clean up london's air and have peo ready for enough time to clean up london's air and have peo ready for it? enough time to clean up london's air and have peo ready for it? i enough time to clean up london's air and have peo ready for it? i don'tigh time to clean up london's air and have peo ready for it? i don't think ne to get ready for it? i don't think they have. this is gb news across the uk on tv. >> excuse me? in your car. now, though, it's back to .

though, it's back to. patrick >> welcome along, lucy letby will spend the rest of her life in jail for her cruel, calculated and cynical campaign of murder and attempted murder of murder and attempted murder of babies at the hospital where she worked . the most prolific she worked. the most prolific child serial killer in modern british history was told by judge mrjustice goss there was judge mr justice goss there was a malevolence bordering on sadism in your actions for which you have no remorse . the 33 year you have no remorse. the 33 year old was convicted by a jury of murdering seven babies and trying to kill six more while working at the countess of chester hospital's neonatal unit. between 2015 and 2016. the judge handed her a whole life order at manchester crown court on monday, making her the only, only the fourth woman in uk history to be told that she will never be released from prison . never be released from prison. loads of different aspects of this to unpack, as i will do

throughout the course of this show. obviously a whole life order is the maximum sentence that we can pass in this country. i know lot of people country. i know a lot of people are for the death are calling for the death penalty, they usually in penalty, as they usually do in cases the other cases like this. the other aspect this for me is how aspect of this for me is how many more are there? how many more victims could be? more victims could there be? what are the police doing to investigate how was this allowed element is how was this allowed to for long? there are to go on for so long? there are a lot of people working in the nhs possibly right now or who might have possibly given might have possibly been given the retiring to some the dignity of retiring to some kind of second home in marbella somewhere i think be somewhere who i think should be held accountable this held accountable for this ongoing actually ongoing saga. was there actually a full blown cover up here and in other babies . scandals? in other babies. scandals? a little bit like it? and should she have been made to sit in the dock and listen to victim impact statements? should she have been made to listen to the sentence that was handed down to her? i have launched campaign on have launched a campaign on this. be hearing this. you'll be hearing a lot more about throughout the more about that throughout the course show and you course of this show and how you can sign up to be a part of that

petition to make killers face real is the final real justice. it is the final act of cruelty for all of these people, the final act of cowardice, the final of cowardice, the final act of power by refusing in power by then refusing to sit in the up to the the dock and face up to the human consequences of that time. and it has gone for on far too long. but let's cross now to manchester crown court and speak to of to gb news is northwest of england. reporter reaper england. reporter sophie reaper sophie, tariff . sophie, a full life tariff. >> that is indeed the case. patrick, we heard that earlier on this afternoon. justice goss passed that whole life tariff on lucy letby after of course on friday we were able to report she had indeed become the most prolific serial killer of children in modern british history. now it's as we anticipated, she did not appear in the dock today to face those families as they delivered the victim impact statement. she wasn't there either to face justice goss as he delivered those that sentence saying, of course, we discussed it on friday, this isn't the first time this has happened. this

isn't the first time it's been controversial. but it does now feel perhaps as though the cogs are moving and the care . starmer are moving and the care. starmer has obviously suggested that they do need to be the government do need to be making this happen now to ensure that in the future criminals are forced to come up to the dock and face that sentencing . now, and face that sentencing. now, of course, this isn't the end. you mentioned there that the investigation is continuing with cheshire constabulary . there's cheshire constabulary. there's far, far more babies that are perhaps being investigated . and perhaps being investigated. and so although today the families may gain some closure by recognising the facts that lucy letby will now die in prison, no matter what. but but it isn't the end of us talking about lucy letby. there is still so much to come . come. >> thank you very, very much. is sophie reaper there? and just sophie. whilst whilst i've got you, if that's all right, she did not come up to the dock today, did she? did she stay in her cells? what happened now?

because that has caused a huge amount of controversy . amount of controversy. >> well, just as she has been doing for the last few times, court has searched today , once court has searched today, once again, she remained downstairs in the cells, refusing to come up to the dock to face her sentencing . sentencing. >> absolutely . sophie, thank you >> absolutely. sophie, thank you very, very much. it's sophie reapen very, very much. it's sophie reaper. the gb news is northwest of england. reporter reporting from outside manchester crown court. we can go now to former police and crime commissioner martin underhill , i believe he martin underhill, i believe he joins me . martin underhill, i believe he joins me. martin, martin underhill, i believe he joins me . martin, thank you very joins me. martin, thank you very much for joining joins me. martin, thank you very much forjoining us on the show. much for joining us on the show. i'm just to going ask you whether or not you feel as though justice has actually been served today . though justice has actually been served today. i think we might have a bit of an issue getting. martin i'm just going to go straight to peter blakesley, who's actually joining us in the studio now. thank studio right now. peter thank you very much. do you feel you very, very much. do you feel as has been as though justice has been served today? >> a whole life term, of

>> well, a whole life term, of course, the only possible course, was the only possible sentence could have been sentence that could have been handed because these crimes handed down because these crimes were horrific . there was such were so horrific. there was such a pattern of behaviour. and of course , a tiny baby, a newborn course, a tiny baby, a newborn babyis course, a tiny baby, a newborn baby is a precious thing. it's a gift. it's a gift to parents. it's a gift to any siblings. it's a gift to any siblings. it's a gift to any siblings. it's a gift to the world. and for somebody to be so wicked to snuff out so many young, precious lives in the vicious, wicked way that she did, there could only, of course, be one sentence. and i'm glad that that was handed down and that she will, of course, die in jail. there is, though , one very there is, though, one very important point that i'd like to raise , if i may, and that is raise, if i may, and that is lucy letby is not allowed under any circumstances to take her own life because there have been notorious killers in the past. harold shipman , fred west and

harold shipman, fred west and others who have not been able to face the consequences of their own actions and have not been able to deal with the whole life term. so what they've done is taken their own lives. the prison service must be on red alert to ensure that lucy letby serves until her own natural causes. dying serves until her own natural causes . dying day. causes. dying day. >> okay. and how does that happen then? does she have to have regular checks or someone have regular checks or someone have to be continually watching her? how does that work in practise >> absolutely. she can't have bed linen, for example, that could be shredded into strips and then made into a noose. she can't have crockery or cutlery of any description that could be adapted into a weapon with which she could self harm. and take her own life. yeah, things like that. very practical things that many in the prison service are used to doing. it's quite it's quite a regular thing with regards to some prisoners who are on suicide watch . but i just are on suicide watch. but i just urge them to be extremely

careful because it wouldn't be justice if letby is allowed to take her own life. >> no, absolutely wouldn't be. and the other thing i think that is important well for a lot is important as well for a lot of know this got of people i know this has got a lot of people going and we are doing campaign in this, which doing a campaign in this, which i'm going to be giving you the kind full blow by blow kind of full blow by blow account of the top of the account of at the top of the next hour. but this is about cowardly, cowardly, evil killers. the violent killers. okay. under the violent offenders we're talking about rapists . talking about rapists. we're talking about attempted just attempted murderers. we're just talking and utter talking about complete and utter monsters talking about currently and utter talking about currently are utter talking about currently are abler monsters who currently are able to sit in their cell whilst the victim impact statements are being read out to them. and whilst the sentence is being handed to down them. this is becoming an increasingly popular thing for them to do. it's got to be stopped. i know there are practical issues at play here, but we've got this campaign. i mean, would you back the campaign? where are you on it? >> i completely and utterly agree with you. in that case,

cowardly, vile criminals should be in court to hear those impact statements and to be handed down their sentence . let be today has their sentence. let be today has joined an increasing list of such vile cowards by not going into that court. however there are practical challenges here. if somebody physically will not go into that court, then what do the authorities do? do they shackle them? do they force them into a straitjacket fit? do they apply a gag so they can't speak ? how are they going to do that? and i'm sure you can imagine how human rights lawyers well, this is would love to jump onto any such legislation . and i such legislation. and i personally don't want to see human rights lawyers getting any ficher. fichen >> no, no, i absolutely don't. you're right mention that, you're right to mention that, because of the because this is one of the controversial aspects of this from my perspective. they from my perspective. yes, they absolutely be dragged absolutely should be dragged there. moment, aren't there. and at the moment, aren't

prison allowed to prison officers are allowed to use quotes, reasonable force ? use quotes, reasonable force? the problem is, as you've rightly identified, that prison officers themselves don't want to getting for to risk getting done for crossing grey area of crossing that very grey area of what was reasonable and what was not, which is really why we need a proper change in the law, a law that backs our prison officers that they can go out officers so that they can go out there enforce there and properly enforce justice get people in justice and get people in that dock. >> nor @ nor do we want dock. >> nor do we want prison >> and nor do we want prison officers injured . they have officers injured. they have an incredibly difficult job to do and the majority of them do that job very, very well for not much reward, i hasten to add . i think reward, i hasten to add. i think prison officers should get a pay rise for the work they do . they rise for the work they do. they look after the very worst of humanity and endeavour to maintain, maintain order in our jails a very, very challenging thing that they do . no, indeed. thing that they do. no, indeed. >> and i think at the very least, at the very least, what should happen is that the victim impact statements and the judges

verdict sentence is actually played out to them . i've got played out to them. i've got a couple of little snapshots of some of the victim impact statements from lucy letby victim's parents. one mother said even in these final days of the trial, she tried to control things. the disrespect that she has shown the families and the court will show what type of person she is. we have attended court every single day in, day out, yet she decides she has had enough and stays in her cell just one final act of wickedness from a coward. and that is the person whose side i'm on. that is side i'm on is the person whose side i'm on here at gb that's why here at gb news. that's why i want to go to gbnews.com want people to go to gbnews.com forward slash justice now and see can desperately try to see if we can desperately try to get some change in the get some kind of change in the law that means that people like lucy hear lucy letby have to go and hear the impact of their statements and at the very least, it should be cell. be pumped into their cell. >> undoubtedly. again, agree. >> undoubtedly. again, i agree. if an option. if that were to be an option. but let's look at the practicalities of it. we know when we stand in sometimes when we stand in lift sometimes they the lift

they pump music into the lift and there's no speakers to see. so technically can be done so that technically can be done quite , quite but if for quite, quite easily. but if for example, they have to be shackled in their cell so that they cannot put their fingers in their ears , which some would their ears, which some would seek to do , i'm sure then of seek to do, i'm sure then of course we've got to make it a padded cell because they may seek to self harm themselves by banging their heads against the walls, for example, and prisoners do these kind of things. so the practicalities really do have to be thought out in order for the wicked, vile , in order for the wicked, vile, cowardly killers to face and why is it so important that they do face the consequences? >> why is it so important, do you think, that the victims and their relatives have the ability to actually know that the person who's committed those crimes can hear impact that that has hear the impact that that has had lives? why is it so had on their lives? why is it so important that when a judge says you've tariff , you've got a whole life tariff, you've got a whole life tariff, you've got a whole life tariff, you've got minimum of 36 years you've got a minimum of 36 years or whatever, that that person needs that? why it

needs to hear that? why does it matter ? m atter? >> p w— e the loved ones >> because it's the loved ones of that the life of victims that get the life sentence. they to spend the sentence. they have to spend the rest of their lives with the loss of that baby so brutally murdered . and it goes for murdered. and it goes for parents and other people, all those hundreds of people every year that lose loved ones to murder. i'm all about the victims, whether it be the first victims, whether it be the first victims, the babies, the secondary victims, their parents. i'm all for them. i think we should have a victims law as well . so their rights are law as well. so their rights are enshrined on the statute book. and most definitely it's for those people, those people who have who have acted with such dignity throughout this very long trial. let be should have heard their voices, should have heard their voices, should have heard their voices, should have heard their voices. >> and the reason why i care so passionately about this is i've sat in this very chair and reported on other cases in the last months, in last last few months, in the last yean last few months, in the last year, where criminals have year, where those criminals have also not attended court. we've had thomas cashman. he's shot and killed nine year old olivia

pratt—korbel out in her own home. no remorse , nothing. that home. no remorse, nothing. that guy care less . it just guy couldn't care less. it just makes me feel sick. we've had koci killed koci selamaj who killed schoolteacher sabina nessa as she was walking home through a park. horrific details of that crime we've had jordan mcsweeney, who killed zara . mcsweeney, who killed zara. lena. another one who refused to come up and face justice. this is an ongoing issue that is not going away anytime soon. it's becoming more and more fashionable, frankly, with every single for case these thugs to get away with that final thing. and they clearly don't want to do it. this is the thing they might be right spending the might be all right spending the rest lives rotting in a rest of their lives rotting in a prison might have prison cell. they might have mates inside. in case mates on the inside. in the case of thomas cashman, i'm absolutely certain that he does, for example. they for example. but what they are obviously is obviously not okay with is listening victim's impact listening to the victim's impact statements. are obviously listening to the victim's impact statokayits. are obviously listening to the victim's impact statokay with are obviously listening to the victim's impact statokay with having obviously listening to the victim's impact statokay with having obvjudge not okay with having the judge sentencing reading sentencing them and reading their comments that their comments there. and that is that i think they is the thing that i think they need forced to do. but need to be forced to do. but peter, thank you very, very much. it's great to have you on the right at the top of it the show. right at the top of it

is blakesley. that, of is peter blakesley. that, of course, top cop, right? course, former top cop, right? so, baby lucy letby has so, baby killer lucy letby has refused attend court to face refused to attend court to face up and to up to her actions and listen to the judge down her the trial judge hand down her punishment. although many politicians a law should politicians believe a law should be passed to stop cowardly killers like letby hiding from their victims, i believe that politicians need to act now. so we've launched a new campaign, make killers face real justice. you can scan the qr code on your screen right now or sign the petition at ww dot gbnews.com forward slash justice. that's w w w dot gb news.com forward slash justice. more on this in the next hour but coming up should nhs managers face legal action for failing to act on multiple different warnings from doctors that let be posed a risk to patients ? did babies die as to patients? did babies die as a result of an aggressive air culture in nhs? absolutely shocking . patrick christys gb

shocking. patrick christys gb news, britain's news

isabel, monday to thursdays from six till 930 . six till 930. >> welcome back. coming up, before 4:00 pm, i will be discussing a claim by some liberal democrat activist that menstruation is not just a woman's issue grief and should the lionesses be given honours for their world cup campaign, even though they just came up short and didn't win the

tournament in the final? but yes, more serious matters. nurse lucy letby has spent the rest of her life in prison after being given a whole life order at manchester crown court for the murders of seven babies and the attempted murders of six others attempted murders of six others at the countess of chester hosphal at the countess of chester hospital. old did hospital. the 33 year old did not attend the sentencing, which the prime minister, sunak the prime minister, rishi sunak , cowardly . , has condemned as cowardly. >> the first thing is to extend my sympathies to everyone affected by this . i think, like affected by this. i think, like everyone reading about this is just shocking and harrowing now. i think it's cowardly that people who commit such horrendous crimes do not face their victim and hear first hand their victim and hear first hand the impact that their crimes have had on them and their families and loved ones. and we are looking and have been at changing the law to make sure that that happens . and that's that that happens. and that's something that will bring forward due course. forward in due course. >> sick and tired of talking >> i'm sick and tired of talking about this every single time a depraved killer a violent depraved killer or a violent offender decides not to actually sit in the dock and listen to the victim impact statement or

listen to the judge hand down the sentence , we have exact the sentence, we have this exact conversation. we will look into the sentence, we have this exact corwe'retion. we will look into the sentence, we have this exact corwe're looking will look into the sentence, we have this exact corwe're looking wi changing:o the sentence, we have this exact corwe re looking wi changing:o the sentence, we have this exact corwe want)king wi changing:o the sentence, we have this exact corwe want to 1g wi changing:o the sentence, we have this exact corwe want to change anging:o the sentence, we have this exact corwe want to change it.]ing:o it. we want to change it. but actually not getting any actually we're not getting any action, why i've action, which is why i've launched this campaign, is launched this campaign, which is to killers face real to make killers face real justice. already nearly 1000 of you have gone to gb news. com forward slash justice and sign that petition. hopefully we can actually enact some real change. but to here talk to us about some the legal consequences, some of the legal consequences, what law now, what would what the law is now, what would need how we do it need to change how we can do it is commentator joshua is legal commentator joshua rosenberg . joshua, thank rosenberg. joshua, thank you very, much. absolute very, very much. absolute pleasure always, get you pleasure, as always, to get you on the show. at the moment, there appears be there appears to be some confusion as what the confusion as to what the situation is. if a serial killer or a killer or a violent offender is refused to come up from their cells to face the final music , what is the law at final music, what is the law at the moment as it stands ? the moment as it stands? >> i don't think that this has been decided by the courts, but the ministry of justice said last week that a judge does have the power to order a defendant to attend court, and the

ministry of justice implies that failure to do so would be contempt of court. and if you're in contempt of court, then you can be punished. you can be sentenced to two years imprisonment. but obviously the fact that rishi sunak , as you fact that rishi sunak, as you saw there, is proposing a change in the law that suggests that legislation is needed . it has to legislation is needed. it has to be passed by parliament. if it's to take place and presumable that would also be to create a new criminal offence, a specific criminal offence of refusing to attend court for sentencing, which would no doubt have a prison sentence as the penalty . prison sentence as the penalty. >> indeed. so currently prison officers are allowed to use quotes reasonable force to get someone in the dock, but understandably so. they fear facing prosecution themselves for overstepping that mark and that often makes them not want to do it. apparently, the judge can talk to the prison governor and see what they think. but obviously, the prison governor and again, i understand this, by the way, i've got deep sympathy

with this. would not necessarily want instruct prison want to instruct their prison officers to into officers to walk into a situation do something for situation and do something for which could later which they could later themselves prosecution. themselves face prosecution. that an area of this that i think is an area of this and an aspect of this that we need to really have a look at, especially with this campaign in mind, protecting prison mind, which is protecting prison officers who would be tasked with that that vile, with making sure that that vile, evil monster gets to the dock . evil monster gets to the dock. >> that's perfectly true. and it gets even more complicated because in the old days, it was a prison officer sent by the prison with a prisoner to court who looked after that prisoner in the dock . these days, their in the dock. these days, their custody officers , they come from custody officers, they come from security companies . they're not security companies. they're not necessarily the sort of people who are appointed as prison officers . they may be women. officers. they may be women. they may be of less burly build than the traditional prison officer. you may need several of them to control a recalcitrant prisoner . them to control a recalcitrant prisoner. and then, of course, you have the problem, which i know you've been discussing with others today, of what you do if the prisoner simply refuses .

the prisoner simply refuses. >> no, indeed. and i think it's something that is vital for justice to be seen to be done and for the victims in all of this and their families and all of this to be able to look that individual in the eye and to be able to express the consequences of their actions, it is cowardice or a final act of power in my book that stops people from coming up to the cells there and coming up to the court and to the dock and actually facing the consequences of it. what i don't think would work, especially in the case of like lucy letby is saying, well, we'll add a few years to your sentence because if you're dishing out full tariff, dishing out a full life tariff, okay, well that's, that's anyway, so it would have to be something you've something specific about you've just come up, haven't just got to come up, haven't you? it can't just be about, well going to a few well we're going to add a few years your sentence. years to your sentence. >> yes, that's right. and then how do ensure that? do you how do you ensure that? do you drag person kicking and drag the person kicking and screaming into dock, screaming into the dock, disrupting the proceedings? do you shackle that person to the floor to stop them throwing chairs around , stop them

chairs around, stop them punching the custody officers in the dock? what do you do to stop them screaming the place down? what do you do to avoid the disruption? what do you do to simply stop them turning around on their seats and putting their fingers in their and not fingers in their ears and not looking at the judge or not looking at the judge or not looking at the victims families in court? what do you do in practise when you wish to maintain the dignity of the court? avoid upsetting the families even more than they are inevitably upset in the circumstances we've seen this morning? terribly distressing for these families. do they really want to see somebody disrupting the proceedings and then if that person does, what does the judge do? takes orders, the defendant, to be removed from the dock, which is where we started from? >> yes, exactly. i mean , there >> yes, exactly. i mean, there is the fallback option of shackling the individual , shackling the individual, putting a muzzle on them, something along those lines. i know that that seems a bit

unpalatable to people, but some people would argue that these monsters foregone their people would argue that these monste rights foregone their people would argue that these monste rights by�*regone their people would argue that these monste rights by theme their people would argue that these monste rights by the very1eir people would argue that these monste rights by the very nature human rights by the very nature of that would be of their actions. that would be controversial. the other fallback which suspect fallback option, which i suspect is more practical, is to put a video link and sound in their cell so that they can't really escape what going on. maybe escape what is going on. maybe that where we up, that is where we will end up, but we'll have to wait and see. joshua, thank very much as joshua, thank you very much as even joshua, thank you very much as ever. rosenberg there, joshua, thank you very much as ever. a rosenberg there, joshua, thank you very much as ever. a legal>senberg there, joshua, thank you very much as ever. a legal commentator , joshua, thank you very much as ever. a legal commentator of who is a legal commentator of note now, i believe that politicians do need to act now. we have launched a new campaign to make killers face real justice. scan that qr code that you will see on your screen right now. sign the petition gbnews.com forward slash gb news.com forward slash justice. gbnews.com forward slash justice. and already 1000 of you in the last half an hour, 1000 of you have done just that . so of you have done just that. so please get yourselves involved . please get yourselves involved. we are the people's channel and we want to enact a better people power here and get proper justice for those serial killers. those more still to come between now and 4:00, though, shift in tone. menstruation is just menstruation is not just a woman's apparently. woman's issue, apparently. that's liberal that's according to some liberal democrats activists, with the

cloud than today and there will be more showers around as be a few more showers around as well. easing off well. the showers easing off across scotland, though, so northwestern turning northwestern areas turning a little drier, a cooler feel across the north, but again in the and the sunshine, the south and the sunshine, temperatures could get temperatures could easily get into 26, 27 is into the mid 20s, 26, 27 is possible by wednesday. again, quite a lot of cloud at times, but generally, again , most but generally, again, most places looking fine and sunny, increasing chance of a few showers over the southwest and west wales and again, of course western parts of scotland, there will some showers and will be some showers and generally bit cooler. but generally a bit cooler. but again in the sunshine in the southeast, 27 is possible . southeast, 27 is possible. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar proud sponsors of weather on . on. gb news. >> well, as the political conference season approaches, policy advisers and activists are putting their heads together. >> the brains trust, aren't they , to come up with solutions to some of the biggest problems facing our nation? there's the

small boats crisis. there's the cost of living crisis. we've got an backlog the an nhs backlog and for the liberal democrats, at least, whether or not periods only impact women . yes, that's right. impact women. yes, that's right. a motion reads conference notes that menstruation is not just a women's issue and also affects some trans and non—binary people . it will be voted on next month. a spokesperson for the liberal democrats said. period. poverty is an issue that needs addressing urgently. liberal democrat conference. we will be debating policies to deal with the cost of living crisis and the cost of living crisis and the crisis in nhs. both the crisis in our nhs. both caused chaotic caused by this chaotic conservative government. okay, fine . but there conservative government. okay, fine. but there is conservative government. okay, fine . but there is a world of fine. but there is a world of difference between talking about penod difference between talking about period poverty and whether or not blokes can have periods which course they can't. my which of course they can't. my stats are executive of stats are executive director of sex matters joins me now. mayor, thank you very, very much. are you depressed that one of the major political parties apparently sure what apparently still isn't sure what apparently still isn't sure what a is ? it's just ridiculous. >> only women .

>> only women. >> only women. >> oh, i think we're just to going work on my connection there a little bit and try and see if we can bring her back. but yes, it's just a bonkers story to come out of political party conference season, isn't it, really? why do they let themselves get bogged in themselves get bogged down in all and i suspect that all of this? and i suspect that if you really pressed ed davey on wouldn't really be on it, he wouldn't really be able an answer. able to give you an answer. we're back into what is a woman territory? aren't we really? everybody knows that everybody out there knows that only can have periods. why only women can have periods. why is a controversial is that such a controversial thing to have say? and saying thing to have to say? and saying that period, poverty, etcetera, doesn't just impact women, i think diminishes , doesn't say think diminishes, doesn't say what being a woman actually is. that part of the female that is part of the female anatomy that very definitively makes it clear what a woman is. why can't our politicians actually just come out and say that? why is this something that they think is one of the most pressing things the agenda? pressing things on the agenda? do as though actually do you feel as though actually this that should be this is something that should be nowhere near one of our major political parties now believe we can maya back? maya, thank can bring maya back? maya, thank

you very much. sorry. we certainly want to cancel certainly do not want to cancel a on this particular show. a woman on this particular show. but do you feel at the but yeah. how do you feel at the fact that clearly one of our major still doesn't major parties still doesn't know what is ? what a woman is? >> only women menstruate . and >> only women menstruate. and this is serious because this is being told to children in schools that they can choose whether they are male or female , and that it's not just girls who menstruate . this is a it is who menstruate. this is a it is a scary thing when you start your period as a young girl and the last thing you need is politicians and schools telling girls that this is not something simple and normal for girls with female bodies. >> yeah. why does it matter so much then? come on, tell me why this actually massacres what they would say. the liberal democrats , i imagine, is that democrats, i imagine, is that some people have been born a woman wants to transition into being a man or they identify as a man. therefore, we can't say that periods are just a woman thing . thing. >> it matters because it's the

truth and it matters in particular for safeguarding everybody. every institution has a responsibility for safeguarding, particularly children and vulnerable people and young girls when they're starting their period, are both children and vulnerable people . children and vulnerable people. and the last thing they need is people in positions of responsibility , telling them responsibility, telling them that they don't know what a man is and what a woman is, and that when you're in a situation, obviously this is about periods, but it's also about changing rooms, it's about toilets, it's about all those situations where you should know what a man is and what a woman is and what the rules are of who goes where and what is appropriate behaviour. and teachers don't know what and if teachers don't know what appropriate then appropriate behaviour is, then how keep children safe ? >> 7. >>i ? >> i think very often 7 >> i think very often in topics like this it comes back to the children, doesn't it? it comes back to safeguarding children. it comes back to this idea of not wanting to indoctrinate them with warped ideology. also with some warped ideology. also comes safety comes back crucially to safety as well, then safety for

as well, and then safety for women, adult women going forward. do you think , though, forward. do you think, though, that when people go out and vote at the next general election , at the next general election, that they will have at the forefront of their minds this party that i'm voting for now, do they want to protect women? can they tell me what a woman is? do you think that should be something that's central to their decision making ? their decision making? >> i don't think it's the number one thing that people vote on, but i do think it it's whether you trust the politicians. can you trust the politicians. can you trust the politicians. can you trust a politician who won't say what a woman is? can you trust a politician that is going to tell girls that boys can menstruate or that they might not be girls? it's a question of trust. obviously there are other important issues the economy and so on. but this is really a question about whether we can trust politicians. yeah i'm inclined to agree with you on that one, maya. >> and i think that anybody who's running for office should be made to be able to

definitively say what a woman is and what a man is, because i am convinced, maya, just one more final one with you is that people who say this a lot people who say this stuff a lot of the time don't really mean it. they just say it because they right thing they think it's the right thing to the woke thing to say and it's the woke thing to say and it's the woke thing to say. but actually there are real world consequence pieces to this. and i think could almost this. and i think i could almost forgive genuinely forgive people if they genuinely believed they genuinely believed this and they genuinely meant would almost be meant it. i would almost be inclined to go wrong. i think you're wrong, but that's your view. what i absolutely can't stand is the other stand with this is the other layer to it, stand with this is the other layer to it , which stand with this is the other layer to it, which is that layer of to it, which is that you don't even believe what you're saying, do you ? you're saying, do you? >> exactly. and and you're afraid of your activist . you're afraid of your activist. you're afraid of your activist. you're afraid of your activist. you're afraid of the people that will cancel you. so instead of standing up for truth, instead of standing up for front line workers, have to protect workers, you have to protect people . politicians are people. the politicians are saying that are complete saying things that are complete nonsense . nonsense. >> maya, thank you very much for your time. mindful starts your time. it's mindful starts that executive director of that our executive director of sex would argue sex matters. i would argue genuinely at the next genuinely that at the next election you should seriously have what party have a think about what party

when in that polling when you're in that polling booth. what does your party think about sex education for children ? what does that policy children? what does that policy think about what a man or a woman is? because if they get into power, that going to into power, that is going to have impact and a have a massive impact and a massive on society. and massive bearing on society. and i that safeguarding i would argue that safeguarding of should be central to of children should be central to your the next your decision making at the next general election. gb views gb general election. gb views on gb news.com. but coming up, there general election. gb views on gb nevcallsn. but coming up, there general election. gb views on gb nevcalls foryut coming up, there general election. gb views on gb nevcalls for the oming up, there general election. gb views on gb nevcalls for the lionesses there general election. gb views on gb nevcalls for the lionesses to ere are calls for the lionesses to be given and be given honours and a homecoming parade following their world cup campaign. they did so well, but unfortunately couldn't quite get it over the line, i be line, could they? i will be speaking to none other than former spurs boss harry redknapp, the best england manager. we never had patrick christys on gb news britain's

sick. and despite the that sick. and despite the fact that we launched petition we only launched this petition 50 minutes we have just 50 minutes ago, we have just under 2000 of you signing it already. thank you very much. keep that coming . but joining me keep that coming. but joining me in the studio right now on a different topic altogether is mark mark homeland mark white. mark our homeland security have an security editor. and you have an update us about what's been update for us about what's been going on in the channel. >> yeah, very day in >> yeah, very busy day indeed in the last the channel. you remember last wednesday i was down in kent talking about a red alert effectively in internal mechanism put out by border force, expecting a very busy day. and on that particular day, 444 people crossed the net small boats. well, this week we've got a week really of red days in which they're expecting very significant activity. and that began very early this morning with multiple border force vessels going into dover harbour, others going into dungeness, the lifeboat . they dungeness, the lifeboat. they are taking migrants to the beach and dropping them on the beach

at dungeness. so we're told that 700 and people arrived so far today , 713 small boats. now the today, 713 small boats. now the record , patrick, for this year record, patrick, for this year is 755. in a single day. so we are very close to that today. >> could well end up being by the end of this show actually a record day in the channel >> well, there's been a lull in activity . this happens. you get activity. this happens. you get activity. this happens. you get a surge in the morning and then sometimes a surge in the evening, depending on the tide and wind conditions. so it's possible that some boats could come again later in the afternoon . and it doesn't take afternoon. and it doesn't take much. just 1—1 more boat load. and they would be into for topping a record day . as i say topping a record day. as i say this week, patrick, we are expecting the weather to gradually improve in the channel because it's been pretty hit or miss in the recent weeks. it's

expected to get on wednesday, thursday and maybe even friday to flat calm conditions as effectively zero wind in the channel and on those days, then potentially you could be looking at up to a thousand a day crossing. that's what we've seen in previous years. so the record so far, 755 this year , but we're so far, 755 this year, but we're very close to that. just today. >> no, indeed. and the question mark is where are we putting all of these people then? >> well, those people that you're seeing there , 38 or so. you're seeing there, 38 or so. just to clarify. >> sorry, mark, this is this is today, right ? today, right? >> this is today taken off the dungeness lifeboat, brought up the sun's there , taken for the sun's there, taken for processing briefly . we checked processing briefly. we checked out effective patted down and put onto that bus you see there which goes off to the immigration processing centre at manston in kent. this time last year was in very significant trouble at manston because they

were dealing with a thousand a day that were coming across in the august period and they couldn't cope. it was a real bottleneck there and people that were only supposed to be held there for 48 hours were there for weeks in less than ideal conditions . this time around, conditions. this time around, suella braverman, the home secretary, has ordered dozens of marquees to be able to put thousands of migrants in as a temporary measure should we get to that point again in the days and weeks ahead? >> patrick? mark, thank you very, very much. mark white, there are helping security editors. so, yes, maybe we'll have an update from mark in about an hour's time. also have an update from mark in about ithatiur's time. also have an update from mark in about ithat it"s time. also have an update from mark in about ithat it hasme. also have an update from mark in about ithat it has indeedo have an update from mark in about ithat it has indeed been saying that it has indeed been a record day for the year. like i was you've been was saying, loads of you've been getting touch with your getting in touch with your thoughts on the campaign to get killers facing real justice, make face real justice. make killers face real justice. i'm sick and tired of people like lucy letby being able to cower in their prison cells and not hear the victim impact statements. back , statements. when i come back, we'll be you a full we'll be giving you a full lowdown we're

lowdown exactly why we're doing this some people this campaign. some people emailing i do have emailing in, yes, i do have a solution for it, actually. i would drag them to the dock. i don't really think that they're human rights at this particular stage after the horrific nature of patrick of their crimes matter. patrick christys gb news a brighter outlook with boxt solar proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. sponsors of weather on. gb news. >> i'm alex deakin and this is your latest weather update from the met office for gb news for the met office for gb news for the rest of monday. pretty warm across the south with many places seeing sunny spells or a few showers around and it's more than just a few showers in the far northwest. this low pressure system bringing pretty wet and windy conditions across the western increasingly western isles and increasingly now highlands now across the highlands as well. staying here, we'll well. so staying wet here, we'll see a few showers this evening over perhaps over over wales, perhaps over northern for a time. so northern england for a time. so some heavy bursts of rain before that away, turning down that clears away, turning down because scotland in because most of scotland in northern through the northern ireland through the night, the south night, but across the south it generally stays some mist generally stays dry. some mist and fog is possible. staying

her clothes and tried to hide her clothes and tried to hide her body in the sexually motivated attack. he didn't hear the victim impact statements. he didn't hear the judge sentenced him to a minimum of 36 years in december. last year, the killer of zara aleena jordan mcsweeney refused attend as he was refused to attend as he was jailed for life in order to serve a minimum of 38 years. alina's family described his no show as a slap in the face. if we cannot force sexual predators who batter innocent women to death, who judges describe as being a danger to any woman , any being a danger to any woman, any woman, if we cannot force them to come in here, how their crimes have shattered the lives of the mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters who got a knock on the door one morning and given the most appalling news, then we do not have a properjustice system . there are properjustice system. there are two main reasons for me why cold blooded killers and vile, violent offenders don't want to attend their sentencing . they attend their sentencing. they are cowards who couldn't bear to hear the consequences of their actions. they're scared, but they weren't scared, were they?

when they were committing these crimes? make them suffer. make them hear the awful reality that they have done. the other possible is that they want to retain some elements of power over their victims families that they know that they're no show will hurt them because a lot of these people are twisted psychopaths who thrive off that kind of suffering. well, we can't that power. can't let them have that power. the of one letby the mother of one of letby infant victims today said this even in these final days of the trial, she is trying to control things. the disrespect she has shown the families the court shown the families and the court shown the families and the court show what type of person she is. we have court in we have attended court day in day out, yet she decides she's had enough and stays in her cell. just one final act of wickedness from a coward. this must end. no show sentences is a growing problem . courts around growing problem. courts around the country have reported that increasing numbers of offenders are refusing to attend their sentencing hearings. currently, prison officers are allowed to use reasonable force to get someone in the dock. but fear of

facing prosecution themselves for overstepping the mark often makes them not want to do it. let's remove that fear. let's back them up legally. tell them to crack on, drag them there . if to crack on, drag them there. if the guilty party is genuine , the guilty party is genuine, only too ill to attend , then only too ill to attend, then play only too ill to attend, then play them. the victim impact statement and sentencing in their cell or hospital bed. if you like me, believe that killers and violent offenders are given an easy ride. if you like me, are fed up with the justice system that prioritises their feelings over the feelings of the victims families. and you want that to change right now. then sign our petition, make killers face real justice. hold your phone over that qr code that you can see on your screen or go directly to our website. gb news.com/just es make killers face real . justice yes face real. justice yes absolutely. that petition is currently live right now. and

to life in prison, which i believe we might be able to play for you now. >> lucy letby on each of the seven offences of murder and the seven offences of murder and the seven offences of attempted murder, i sentence you to imprisonment for life because the seriousness of your offence is exceptionally high. i direct that the early release provisions do not apply the order of the court. therefore there is a whole life order on each and every offence and you will spend the rest of your life in prison . in prison. >> let's now cross over to manchester crown court and speak with gb news is northwest of england . reporter sophie reaper. england. reporter sophie reaper. and so sophie, one of the longest murder trials in british history, has come to a definitive end. now and olivia pratt—korbel will spend the rest of her natural life in prison . of her natural life in prison. >> lucy letby will indeed spend the rest of her life in prison .

the rest of her life in prison. patrick we came here today to manchester crown court . i manchester crown court. i started the proceedings at around 10 am. justice goss asked first the prosecution if there was anything he would like to say. and he said he did submit that lucy letby should face the full life tariff. he then asked the defence benjamin myers, kc, if he had anything to say , and he said, of course lucy say, and he said, of course lucy letby has said she is innocent this entire time, but that there was no mitigation. now that the jury was no mitigation. now that the jury had found her guilty on all of those seven murder charges and seven attempted murder charges, we then heard those witness impact statements. so harrowing, so moving there wasn't a dry eye in the court. all the journalists felt it. the families felt it. it was truly, truly moving , families felt it. it was truly, truly moving, moving. families felt it. it was truly, truly moving , moving. once we'd truly moving, moving. once we'd heard those victim impact statements, we broke for 45 minutes. and then when the court was called back into session, justice goss began his

sentencing. he said that lucy letby had breached the trust of those families. he said there was a premeditation calculation and cunning in your actions. was a premeditation calculation and cunning in your actions . and and cunning in your actions. and he then passed the whole life order, meaning that lucy letby, who we now know is the most prolific serial killer of children in modern british history , will now spend the rest history, will now spend the rest of her life and die in prison . of her life and die in prison. >> sophie, thank you very much . >> sophie, thank you very much. sophie reaper gb news is northwest of england. report right . well, as we have been right. well, as we have been reporting, lucy letby, of course, did not attend court today. course, did not attend court today . what difference would today. what difference would this have made for the families of those victims ? i think that of those victims? i think that is the important aspect of all of this, isn't it? we hear a lot about the victim impact statements and what that means for the people involved and the life sentence that the relatives have based around the crimes committed by these evil, heinous individual kills. and ellie

edwards was killed on christmas day in liverpool after being caughtin day in liverpool after being caught in the crossfire of a gangland shooting. we all remember this case. her murderer, connor chapman, did attend the sentencing . and i can attend the sentencing. and i can now speak to eddie edwards , his now speak to eddie edwards, his father, tim edwards, who i'm very grateful to say joins me over the phone. tim, thank you very much for coming on and talking about this. it is much appreciated. what kind of appreciated. what what kind of impact does it have for you as a father being able to give a victim impact statement to somebody in court? the fact that they actually turn up and show their face during the final stages of proceedings ? stages of proceedings? >> well , first of all, thanks >> well, first of all, thanks for having us. but it's very it's very important because it gives you the it's the only opportunity you are really to confront the killer face to face. and it allows you to give them a bit of insight into ,

them a bit of insight into, well, what the effects are of what they've done to you or, you know, their family . and you know, their family. and you don't get a chance to do that. and if they don't turn up on the day of sentencing, it makes it a bit of a mockery. >> so what would you suggest them for people who don't turn up, for people who refuse to turn up ? turn up? >> well, the cowards, auntie , i >> well, the cowards, auntie, i mean. yeah that's exactly what they are. if they they're not going to show shelter. any ounce of remorse or respect to the people that they've they've affected by their actions. and you know, they should be forced to, to listen to that because victim impact statement is very powerful . and it's the only powerful. and it's the only chance , like you say, that you chance, like you say, that you get to express your feelings directly to the killer . they directly to the killer. they should be forced to listen to that. so at least one day you'll

have the knowledge that those words may sink in and they may feel some kind of remorse , feel some kind of remorse, because that is the important thing, i think, isn't it? >> because conceivably , as it >> because conceivably, as it currently stands, somebody can cower in the cells , not listen cower in the cells, not listen to anything that goes on in court. someone comes down, tells them what they've been sentenced to, and because they're in prison, they could spend the rest of their lives in prison and not acknowledging the impact of their actions. and what that has had on the families. of their actions. and what that has had on the families . people has had on the families. people like yourself. tim and so you think it's okay to find a way of forcing those people to listen to that ? to that? >> absolutely, yeah. because you know , fortunately, they still know, fortunately, they still have human rights. so they choose to take advantage of that . and it's the families that you don't get actual closure. it's like it's the only final closure or chance of closure that you

may have . may have. >> so it's the only chance of closure that you may have . i closure that you may have. i mean, i just find all of this so remarkable that they are currently not actually forced to be there and that they don't have to front up to what they've done. you've said that they were cowards. i obviously agree with you. i think everybody agrees with you, tim. i mean, they weren't scared when they were going around committing the kind of crime that lands with a of crime that lands you with a whole tariff or a minimum whole life tariff or a minimum of 30 odd years in prison. they didn't particularly didn't seem particularly cowardly they? cowardly then, did they? but they're it comes they're cowards when it comes to facing of their facing the consequences of their actions . look, tim, i've got to actions. look, tim, i've got to ask you. we are we are trying to do bit here to make sure that do a bit here to make sure that there is a change in the law to make people attend. right. and i know it already a lot of know it already has a lot of political backing. bit political backing. i'm a bit sick and a lot of sick and tired of a lot of politicians doing a lot of talking, of action to talking, not a lot of action to be honest with you. it's gb news forward slash justice. i will just ask if would you just ask if you would you support that campaign? do you

think right think that that's the right thing we're here to thing that we're doing here to try a change in the law? try to get a change in the law? do you think? >> absolutely. and i think it's something that to happen something that needs to happen very, very soon and very, very quickly. and these policies have that to make that happen. that power to make that happen. and if supports needed from myself, then i'm more than happy to go and bang on them doors and make sure that they do change a lot rather sooner rather than later . later. >> tim, i thank you very much for your time and i really do thank you for coming on and talking because, you know, you obviously do have a life sentence in all of this and it can't be easy for you to come on and keep discussing it. so we do really appreciate you coming on and us time. so and giving us your time. so that's edwards there, who that's tim edwards there, who is, alec edwards is is, of course, alec edwards is father suddenly murdered father who was suddenly murdered on in a liverpool on christmas day in a liverpool gangland frankly gangland shooting, which frankly should have absolutely should have had absolutely nothing to do with blatter . nothing to do with blatter. right. coming up, sadiq khan has been accused of discrediting and silencing scientists who found

that his ultra low emission zone policy had little impact on pollution . and the reason i keep pollution. and the reason i keep raising this, it's not just because it's everybody's favourite mayor sadiq khan no, because i always say this kind of policy is coming to a town and a city near you and we cannot keep having facts and science. so silenced in a way thatis science. so silenced in a way that is going to impact you financially and impact your lifestyle choices. patrick christys on gb news britain's

and online gb news. britain's news .

news. channel >> welcome back. coming up, before 5 pm, lucy letby is just one of four women in britain to receive a whole life jail sentence. i'll get reaction from the sentencing from the chair of the sentencing from the chair of the justice committee, conservative mp bob neill . and conservative mp bob neill. and the claim that the lionesses don't represent modern britain because too many of the players are white with blue eyes. can't we just let something not be about race anyway ? the london about race anyway? the london mayor's office has been found to try and silence. silence who found the ulez scheme due to be expanded next monday , had little expanded next monday, had little impact on pollution . sadiq impact on pollution. sadiq khan's environment deputy said that she was, quote, really disappointed at the imperial college report . i bet she was. college report. i bet she was. which claims that ulez cuts nitrogen dioxide by less than 3% and has in significant effects on the ozone. it says the ulez scrappage scheme has been opened up to all londoners today,

giving drivers with a non ulez compliant vehicle the chance to apply compliant vehicle the chance to apply for up to £2,000 to replace their car, despite the fact that, of course in a lot of cases their cars will indeed be worth a lot more than £2,000. lisa hartle our london reporter has more this good has more on this story. good afternoon, lisa. yes, very controversial, this idea of some form of alleged cover up anyway , what's going on? well so the emails that are being discussed, as you said, are between the mayor's deputy and a scientist at imperial college london. >> they were discussing some research was carried out in research that was carried out in 2021, published in 2021, and that was a 12 period of that was a 12 week period of monitoring the air quality before you les started. and then after . now they've said that in after. now they've said that in response to this, they've said that it's well, one of the person who actually wrote the report has said that it's going to take more than just ulez to improve the air quality of london. but a spokesperson for the mayor has said that it's the analysis of the study only

paints a partial picture, not accounting for the full lifetime impact of the scheme and it's commonplace for academic experts to disagree with how studies are interpreted. but as you said , interpreted. but as you said, today is actually the beginning of the scrappage scheme in greater london. so that means that from today, people living in these areas can apply for the scrappage scheme. if they've got a car, they could get up to £2,000. if it's a van, it could be between seven and £10,000. but from what i've been speaking, from what i've been heanng speaking, from what i've been hearing people that i've hearing from people that i've been speaking to today, is that it's not a straightforward system to system that they're going to have to you have to scrap your scrap your car fares, get a certificate, and then you will possibly the money then possibly get the money and then you vehicle. you have to buy a new vehicle. but we've got i spoke to someone called sarah, whose husband a called sarah, whose husband is a plasterer they are at the plasterer and they are at the point quite point where they're not quite sure they are going to be sure if they are going to be able in london. i think able to stay in london. i think we can hear from sarah now, just kind of stuck whichever way go. >> same thing for the car. she's i paid >> same thing for the car. she's | paid 13,000. >> same thing for the car. she's i paid 13,000. she's probably worth just over 11. really

worth maybe just over 11. really they want to give me two. what am i supposed to do with that? either way, it pushes us into debt, which we're already stretched. everybody's already stretched. everybody's already stretched. it's just the most unfair situation. i just don't see how it's going to work for something that doesn't seem to be, you know, the london underground . that's an issue underground. that's an issue thatis underground. that's an issue that is high pollution there. we're not here. so all right. if we have to get rid of these people, floating vehicles that are a small percentage, isn't there another way to do it, to do this over a longer period of time, scrapping everything in this mass panic that's worse for the environment? surely there's nothing that makes sense with any this . so it's very sad any of this. so it's a very sad and very scary time for a lot of people . people. >> and that's what sarah was saying. now, i've been speaking to a lot of people today. a lot of people have got small businesses and they're saying, fine, we have tackle fine, okay, we have to tackle air but there has to air pollution, but there has to be way of doing it.

be a different way of doing it. they saying they've not they were saying they've not been time. they were been given much time. they were told in november that this was going happen and all that's going to happen and all that's happened meantime, happened in the in the meantime, i'm told, is now used i'm being told, is that now used car have gone through i'm being told, is that now used car so have gone through i'm being told, is that now used car so it'save gone through i'm being told, is that now used car so it's going ne through i'm being told, is that now used car so it's going to through i'm being told, is that now used car so it's going to costhh roof. so it's going to cost people even more money at a time of cost of living. and they just people even more money at a time of coshaveiving. and they just people even more money at a time of coshave the g. and they just people even more money at a time of coshave the moneythey just people even more money at a time of coshave the money toy just people even more money at a time of coshave the money to replace don't have the money to replace the vehicles. and some of them are have the are saying they don't have the money either to pay the £12.50 a day. so they're a really day. so they're in a really tncky day. so they're in a really tricky and difficult situation. >> you very much. >> lisa, thank you very much. lisa hartle they're to lisa hartle they're chatting to a disgruntled a couple of people disgruntled by ulez scheme by this ulez scheme and the scrappage the of scrappage scheme. the founder of the fair fuel uk, howard cox, says that this scrappage scheme the fair fuel uk, howard cox, saa. that this scrappage scheme the fair fuel uk, howard cox, saa cont this scrappage scheme the fair fuel uk, howard cox, saa con ands scrappage scheme the fair fuel uk, howard cox, saa con and willappage scheme the fair fuel uk, howard cox, saa con and will putage scheme the fair fuel uk, howard cox, saa con and will put low;cheme the fair fuel uk, howard cox, saa con and will put low income is a con and will put low income drivers small businesses drivers and small businesses into further debt. i believe that. i'm joined by howard now. yes, i am indeed, howard. thank you very much. how do you respond actually to this allegation that basically there was an alleged cover up of some of the negative aspects of ulez, i.e. it won't make any difference and then they're just going to crack on and do it anyway ? anyway? >> nothing surprises me at all.

patrick i hope you can see me and hear me. you got my picture. you've got me. great. yeah we already knew this. and even his own transport for london actually reported that the actually reported that the actual expansion of the ulez to the m25 is not going to give any demonstrable improvement in the air we breathe. the quality of the air we breathe. he knew that. he knew about this. he covered it up. these results, it's absolutely scandalous . and it's absolutely scandalous. and he a pathological, dishonest he is a pathological, dishonest man. and i'm fed up of the back teeth him being allowed teeth that him being allowed unilateral to dictate how he rips off people in the pocket and small businesses. and i'm calling him to resign as you calling on him to resign as you know, standing as london know, i'm standing as london mayor party. and mayor for the reform party. and i also asking , oh, hang on, i also asking, oh, hang on, something's happened to my camera . camera. >> no, you still are on. don't worry. you're still. i go on. yeah, i'm also calling on sir keir starmer. >> i've written to him and i've spoken to him in portcullis house next to westminster , next house next to westminster, next to the house of commons. and

heavy bursts of rain before that clears telling damp across clears away, telling damp across most scotland and northern most of scotland and northern ireland through the night. but of course, the south, it generally mist generally stays dry. some mist and possible, staying and fog is possible, staying pretty as well. across the pretty warm as well. across the whole of the uk actually, temperatures holding up the temperatures holding up in the mid—teens most urban areas. mid—teens in most urban areas. so quite a mild start to tuesday suddenly start over the midlands and eastern and another and eastern england and another fine day generally across the south. we've lost any south. once we've lost any morning fog across morning mist and fog across northern england, wales, southern scotland, more cloud than today there will be a than today and there will be a few more showers around as well than today and there will be a f

southeast, 27 is possible. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar proud sponsors of weather on . on. on. gb news. >> back now to our top story, lucy letby will spend the rest of her life in jail for her cruel, calculated and cynical campaign of murder and attempted murder of babies at the hospital where she worked. and a little bit later on in the show, i'm going the hospital going to be putting the hospital itself under the microscope, putting itself under the putting the nhs itself under the microscope. how was this allowed to could this go on to happen? how could this go on for long? were the for so long? why were the complaints the concerns of complaints and the concerns of people there people that weren't there ignored long? why was ignored for so long? why was lucy let bees feelings priorities? seem the priorities? it would seem the air society that we live in at the moment won the day and sadly, more babies died. and it is by no means the only baby scandal that we have had in recent years. and in fact, it could get worse as well as with other cases being considered for

review . but she is the fourth review. but she is the fourth woman receive the harshest woman to receive the harshest possible though she possible sentence, though she was present in the dock when was not present in the dock when it was handed i joined it was handed down. i am joined now by sir bob neill, mp for the chair of the commons. justice select committee. sir bob, thank you very, very much. we have a petition going on at the moment to try to make sure that killers face real justice. okay it's gbnews.com forward slash gb news.com forward slash justice. gbnews.com forward slash justice. a lot of people , a lot justice. a lot of people, a lot of our viewers, myself , i feel of our viewers, myself, i feel very angry that people like lucy letby and others can hide away in their prison cells whilst victim impact statements are read out and whilst the judge hands down his or her sentence on that. how do you feel about that? firstly, about the fact that? firstly, about the fact that they are now currently not made to attend court. >> i can understand the anger, patrick, and i think that's natural, particularly he got such a deploy as a terrible, terrible offence as this. i mean, the judge got it right

when he said it was, you know, malevolence bordering on the sadistic . the good news is, of sadistic. the good news is, of course, real justice has been donein course, real justice has been done in the sense that this woman will never be released. and that's absolutely right. so that's the real and ultimate justice, the how best we address, the understandable anger and frustration that people feel isn't quite as straightforward, though. and i think we're right to look at what more we can do because they shouldn't be able to cower in the cells. they shouldn't be able to close their ears to the consequence of happened. consequence of what's happened. but just have to be a but i think we just have to be a bit careful about getting a bit careful about getting to a situation where we drag people into the dock because ultimately it's got to be the judge who's conducting the hearing, who has the final decision on this. the one concern i have is that we could get to a situation where and i'm afraid i was embarrassed for 30 years doing criminal cases. patrick i'd done a few murders in my time, but there's always the risk that somebody who that arrogant, somebody who is that arrogant, somebody who is that arrogant, somebody

who is that controlling and that's often the case, believe you me. well actually, try and make the sentence . hearing a make the sentence. hearing a theatre that happened to a degree with the murder of lee rigby. usually a rigby. and of course, what the judge has to do is send them back down to the cells so that they can so that the hearing isn't. i understand i >>i >> i absolutely understand the practicalities of making it work. >> that's look, i absolutely understand that there are practical considerations at play here. >> i'm not trying to pretend that it would be the easiest thing in the world, the most straightforward thing the straightforward thing in the world. think that the world. but i do think that the old practical hiccups are not try and get in the way the try and get in the way of the victims being able to victims families being able to have that they so have that closure that they so often and need. and often crave and need. and deserve, which able to deserve, which is being able to read those victim statements. now, that's some kind of now, whether that's some kind of soundproof not soundproof booth, whether or not that's actually kind of shackling putting shackling the inmate, putting some kind of gag on them, etcetera . i know it seems etcetera. i know it seems unpalatable. i know it seems a bit inhumane. they do it in bit inhumane. they do do it in some other countries. i wonder whether should be whether or not we should be doing something like that here

at the least, bob may at the very least, sir bob may be it into their cells be playing it into their cells via link or speaker system i >>i -- >> i think that last option is a very it's a very realistic one. and i know that sir robert buckland, the former justice secretary, advocated that earlier today, and that may be the most practical route . what the most practical route. what is massively important is that the victims and families have the victims and families have the chance to either read out themselves or have read out their impact statements and that it's listened to respectfully and then is on the record and referred to by the judge in the sentencing remarks, as is the case here, we do have to make sure that those aren't interrupted. and i'm afraid the last thing i want will be somebody hurling abuse at the victim's family whilst that was being out. now the booth being read out. now the booth idea might be interesting idea might be an interesting one. i think the playing in the cell where we got technology which could that quite easily which could do that quite easily is probably the best and easiest route down this. i think we're not other jurisdictions and some

of these shackled and gagged in the court isn't the british way of doing things. but i think there are other ways and you've suggested one and perhaps another, be a another, which would be a sensible of doing which sensible way of doing it, which at some way to meet the at least go some way to meet the understandable desire of victims families this and public from. >> f you've from. >> you've mentioned there >> yeah, you've mentioned there about not the british way of doing i completely doing things. i completely understand know, and understand that, you know, and i am sympathetic towards that am very sympathetic towards that and really necessarily and i don't really necessarily want a country that want to live in a country that replicates things that go on in other maybe less advanced , shall other maybe less advanced, shall we say, nations. there will be a group of people listening to this. now, sir bob, as i'm sure you're aware, who will say that whilst it might look awful some of these monsters have completely forgone their human rights. i don't care about whether or not it's the british way of doing things. just drag them up. then if it means that they're bound and gagged or whatever, they forego on that. right. killing babies or right. by killing babies or killing innocent people, showing no remorse to it. what would you say to that?

>> you don't descend to their level. ultimately the whole point of a civilised society is that we show restraint . i think that we show restraint. i think there's better ways of making that absolute discuss that we feel known than perhaps going that far. i certainly think the same as the technology to make sure that they are forced to hear if going to get hear it. if you're going to get a whole life tariff, the idea of consecutive sentences is irrelevant . it doesn't make any irrelevant. it doesn't make any difference. you could do something about the conditions that they get within prison . i that they get within prison. i think it would certainly weigh against any idea of any of against any idea of any type of privileges being further down the track. for example, that might but that might might be small, but that might be thing to do as well. be a fair thing to do as well. and the one thing i think i don't want to do is get to a situation where the defendant is able to manipulate things so that they become the of that they become the centre of attention again, is often attention again, which is often why committed murders attention again, which is often withe committed murders attention again, which is often withe firstommitted murders attention again, which is often withe first place. ed murders attention again, which is often withe first place. and murders attention again, which is often withe first place. and it murders in the first place. and it distracts in any way from the families and the broader public interest . it's getting that interest. it's getting that balance right. >> make you make a really, >> you make you make a really, really good point there. a

series of actually if series of them actually about if someone's to get a full someone's going to get a full life there's no point life tariff, there's no point saying we're going to add another five years to your sentence in sentence if you don't turn up in court. completely ridiculous idea. pointless. okay. but ongoing privileges and conditions prison, whether or conditions in prison, whether or not allowed visitors not you're ever allowed visitors , not you're ever , whether or not you're ever allowed live or whatever, allowed to live or whatever, actually could be an impact because that's going to be the rest their lives. so if, you rest of their lives. so if, you know, you're spending the rest of your prison without of your life in prison without visitors, without any form of communication, visitors, without any form of commuthey ion, be visitors, without any form of commutheyion, be more inclined maybe they will be more inclined to up to court. and i think to come up to court. and i think that's a bob. that's another aspect of this that we can have aspect of this that we can have a try and piece a look at as we try and piece together exactly how we could come up with kind of law come up with some kind of law here to make people here to make sure that people like lucy can't just like lucy letby can't just swerve impact statements, swerve victim impact statements, etcetera. i thank etcetera. so, bob, can i thank you very, for coming you very, very much for coming on and discussing this new campaign well. campaign that we've got as well. so neill, mp, there is chair so bob neill, mp, there is chair of justice select of the commons, justice select committee. reminder for committee. just a reminder for you, forward you, it's gbnews.com forward slash justice. it'sjust you, it's gbnews.com forward slash justice. it's just over an hour a ago that we hour and a half ago that we started petition now and we started this petition now and we have just under 7000 of you

signing it. what we are trying to do is make sure that they do face real justice. they can't just cells, whether just carrying the cells, whether that them there , that means dragging them there, whether the threat of whether that means the threat of forgoing down the forgoing privileges down the line, whether that means playing out the court hearing and the victim impact statements in their however we do it their cells. however we do it right now, the situation is not good enough and it needs to be changed. you can get some changed. so if you can get some signing this petition gbnews.com forward would forward slash justice, it would mean the world to and we can mean the world to me. and we can maybe go and and enforce maybe go and try and enforce some change. politicians say they want to do it. we're not seeing any are we? we seeing any results, are we? we can the force change. but can be the force for change. but now there is a claim the now there is a claim that the lionesses representative lionesses aren't representative of with too many of modern britain with too many of modern britain with too many of the world cup squad being wiped apparently wiped with blue eyes. apparently i'll having a little look at i'll be having a little look at this shortly. patrick i'll be having a little look at this gb ortly. patrick i'll be having a little look at this gb ortly. fbritain's news christys gb news, britain's news

sunday mornings from 930 on. gb news. >> well, i'm sure a lot of you saw this entrepreneur wilfred emmanuel jones, has caused controversy by claiming that england's lioness england's world cup lioness squad diverse and is squad isn't that diverse and is filled with blonde blue eyed women. some people have even gone as far as to call his comments racist and accused him of not accepting that the best players were chosen . so players were chosen. so i thought we'd have a little bit of a debate on this. i'm joined now by actor, filmmaker and writer femi islander and political commentator reem

ibrahim . both of you, thank you ibrahim. both of you, thank you very, very much . great to have very, very much. great to have you the show, ladies first. you on the show, ladies first. reem, i will start with you. do you those comments you think that those comments were think that were racist? do you think that the lionesses are diverse enough ? >> well, 7— >> well, it's 5mm 7 >> well, it's not necessarily about whether they're diverse enough. >> i don't think that that's a really important thing to be talking about at all. the point of the matter is incredibly well, and they were the best players that were chosen to be part of that included football team now in the united kingdom in england and wales. sorry that according to last year, census 82% of residents are white. so it doesn't matter whether or not they are representative of a particular city like london, where it is incredibly diverse. what's important is that the best players were chosen and actually find it quite offensive . you know, as an ethnic minority myself, for us to be constantly talking about race. but we need to be talking about is who the best person is for the and clearly the best the team. and clearly the best players were chosen. >> all right. for me, i'll >> okay. all right. for me, i'll throw it over to you. do you

think that there is an excessive focus race, racial issues as focus on race, racial issues as opposed to maybe just the sport i >> -- >> well, i don't know how england women's squad chooses a team. i don't know how the players were chosen. i'm not to going stand there and say that they were not the best players for the team. what i will say is that very weird and that it's very weird and interesting. mean, i got sent interesting. i mean, i got sent a message saying what i'd like to speak about to come and speak about this. and on twitter and and so i went on twitter and googled it and the first thing i saw was all these very angry people saying, this guy's racist, horrible. racist, this guy's horrible. he's awful for suggesting this. he's awful for suggesting this. he was to watch he said he was going to watch the said it was fine. the match. he said it was fine. he said it's interesting to he said it's very interesting to see squad was not that see that the squad was not that diverse and there is a conversation to be had about racism in football. i don't know whether specific whether this is the specific subject i would touch upon. we should upon things should touch upon the things like should touch upon the things uke and and like rashford and sancho and what happened the mural. we what happened with the mural. we should about the should be talking about the chants which are which are chanted at games and we should

be talking about the fact that even now, sometimes we still see things like stones being pelted at black players such as valerie paget , etcetera, etcetera. i paget, etcetera, etcetera. i think that there is a conversation to be had about racism in sports and racism in football , and i racism in sports and racism in football, and i think that it's very weird that people have had this huge backlash about someone who said he's going to watch the game, he's going to support him. >> yeah, i think a lot of i think a lot of people i think a lot of family felt kind lot of people family felt kind of similarly towards that of very similarly towards that as that all white as they did to that all white balcony comment at the coronation and i think, raheem, just to throw it back to you on this , people think that this, people think that potentially people see race in everything and actually that's the kind of race baiting way of looking at the world. >> yeah, absolutely. and look , i >> yeah, absolutely. and look, i think that femi is right in that racism is obviously an issue in all parts of our society. and when we're looking at areas like, for example, this year there was report racism ,

there was a report on racism, cricket. clearly there was an issue that particular sport issue with that particular sport . making blanket statements . but making blanket statements like are england's football team is too white because they're all blonde haired and blue eyed, i think is incredibly offensive. it is effectively looking at race sort of like a blanket approach to these kind of things and actually saying that because because were all white and because they were all white and blonde haired and eyed, blonde haired and blue eyed, that weren't that means that they weren't best that for that best for that for that particular position. and it particular position. and what it does it actually means that particular position. and what it doeget it actually means that particular position. and what it doeget things ally means that particular position. and what it doeget things like means that particular position. and what it doeget things like diversityiat we get things like diversity quotas, effectively are quotas, which effectively are telling minority people telling ethnic minority people that they not good enough to that they are not good enough to compete their white compete with their white counterparts. femi, just counterparts. okay femi, just final word to you on this . final word to you on this. >> the spanish team was >> i mean, the spanish team was not particularly diverse at all. i mean, it doesn't seem to be much of an issue about that. i mean, it's shock, horror. most people who play for a team maybe look like the indigenous population of that country . is population of that country. is it an issue ? it really an issue? >> well, there's always a french men's team in the world. you'd find a very but nonetheless , i

find a very but nonetheless, i think that's just revisit what this is really what was said there. diversity quotas in sports. that's one thing in sports. that's one thing in sports is kind of like whoever's going to make it. sports is something which is very different. diversity quotas can be very important when you're looking at other areas of society, such as education, in places where there are very real disadvantages given to specific groups of people and you don't necessarily have to have a full quota. you don't necessarily have say literally many have to say literally this many people come in, but people need to come in, but there be measures in there should be measures in place ensure that minorities place to ensure that minorities who are disadvantaged do get access universities , do access to top universities, do get to particular schools get access to particular schools . football is the game. at the end the day, if someone can end of the day, if someone can kick a ball very far, if someone someone could tackle someone, then well your trials someone could tackle someone, therwhoever ll your trials someone could tackle someone, therwhoever whoever|r trials someone could tackle someone, therwhoever whoever wins ls someone could tackle someone, therwhoever whoever wins goes and whoever whoever wins goes through. but let's not try and extrapolate from this story to other of society where other parts of society where there interesting there are very real interesting systemic . systemic. >> it is interesting you say that. yeah, because were that. yeah, because if we were to quotas in things like to have quotas in things like education, to education, we would have to enforce for working enforce a quota for working class who are class white boys who are

continually of the most continually some of the most disadvantaged people. we're going leave there, going to have to leave it there, i'm is, of course, i'm afraid that is, of course, actor, filmmaker , political actor, filmmaker, political commentator reem ibrahim. both of you very much. of you, thank you very much. i wish could have had longer. wish we could have had longer. right. the next hour right. join me for the next hour where way through the where we rip our way through the news. tuned. news. stay tuned. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. solar proud sponsors of weather on. gb news. i'm solar proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. i'm alex deakin and on. gb news. i'm alex deakin and this is your latest weather update from the met office for gb news for the rest of monday. >> pretty warm across the south with many places seeing sunny spells. there are a few showers around it's more than just around and it's more than just a few in the far few showers in the far northwest. this pressure northwest. this low pressure system pretty and system bringing pretty wet and windy across windy conditions across the western increasingly western isles and increasingly now across the highlands as well . staying here, we'll see . so staying wet here, we'll see a few this evening over a few showers this evening over wales , perhaps northern wales, perhaps over northern england so some england for a time. so some heavy bursts of rain before that clears away, turning down because most scotland in because most of scotland in northern through the northern ireland through the night. south, it night. but across the south, it generally dry. some mist generally stays dry. some mist and fog is possible. it's

own home be able to cower in a silent prison cell whilst the anguished cries of her mother or family fill courtroom with family fill the courtroom with despair? should that monster despair? no. should that monster not made to listen to that not be made to listen to that koci selamaj killed koci selamaj who killed schoolteacher sabina nessa in september 2021, cctv footage captured him , striking the 28 captured him, striking the 28 year old over the head as she walked through a london park until she was unconscious before carrying her away. he then strangled her, removed some of her clothes and tried to hide the body in the sexually motivated attack he didn't hear motivated attack. he didn't hear the victim impact statements. he didn't judge sentencing didn't hear the judge sentencing to a of 36 years in to a minimum of 36 years in december last year. the killer of zara aleena , jordan mcsweeney of zara aleena, jordan mcsweeney refused to attend as he was jailed for life and ordered to serve a minimum of 38 years. alina's family described his no show as a slap in the face. now so if we cannot force sexual predators who batter innocent women to death, who judges describe as being a danger to, quote any woman that's any woman, if we cannot force them to come in here, how their

crimes have shattered the lives of mothers, fathers , brothers of mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters who got a knock on the door one morning and given the door one morning and given the most appalling news, we do not have a proper justice system not have a properjustice system . there are two main reasons why cold blooded killers and vile violent offenders don't want to attend their sentencing. they are cowards who couldn't bear to hear the consequences of their actions . they're scared, but actions. they're scared, but they weren't scared worthy when they weren't scared worthy when they these they were committing these heinous crimes. make them heinous crimes. i say make them suffer . make them heinous crimes. i say make them suffer. make them hear the awful reality of what they done. reality of what they have done. the other possibility is that they want to retain an element of power or control over their victims families. they know that their no show will hurt them because a lot of these people are twisted psychopaths who thrive off that kind of suffering. can't let them suffering. but we can't let them have power. the mother of have that power. the mother of one letby infant victims said one of letby infant victims said this earlier today. even in these final days of the trial, she has tried to control things. the disregard she has shown the families and court show what families and the court show what type of person she is. we have attended day in, day out,

attended court day in, day out, yet she decides she's had enough and stays in her cell. just one final wickedness from a final act of wickedness from a coward to right . this final act of wickedness from a coward to right. this must end . coward to right. this must end. no show sentences is a growing problem. courts around the country have reported that increasing numbers of offenders are refusing to attend their sentencing hearings. currently, prison officers are allowed to use quotes reasonable force to get someone into the dock, but they fear facing prosecution themselves. i can completely understand this for overstepping the mark and that makes them not want to do it. i think we should remove that fear. we should back them up legally. we need to reinforce the law. tell them to crack on and drag them there. and if the guilty party is genuinely too ill to attend , genuinely too ill to attend, then play them the victim impact statements sentencing in statements on sentencing in their or hospital via their cell or hospital via speaker or video link . if you speaker or video link. if you like me, believe that killers and violent offenders are given and violent offenders are given an easy ride. and if you like me, are fed up with the justice system that prioritises their

feelings over the feelings of the victims families and you want that to change right now . want that to change right now. so then sign our petition . make so then sign our petition. make killers face real justice. hold your phone over that qr code that you can see on your screen right there. go directly to our website, gbnews.com for forward website, gb news.com for forward slash justice. website, gbnews.com for forward slash justice. make killers face real . justice okay, look , real. justice okay, look, there's a qr code that will be appearing on your screen in a second. make sure you hover over that. and i'm very pleased to say that i'm just checking it on my screen right now. we started this campaign, this petition just two hours ago, and just over two hours ago, and already nearly 9500 people have signed it this is a show, a demonstration of the strength of feeling that you have for this. we've had numerous different cases where the scum of the earth can sit in a prison cell silently sitting on their hands whilst the victims families are given one opportunity and one

opportunity only to say how they feel and the impact that it has had on their lives. and those people need to be able to face up to that. they need to be made to face up to that. yes, there is a law in place already. that law needs to be changed and updated, updated and reinforced to make that people are to make sure that people are forced face up to the human forced to face up to the human consequence of their actions. gbnews.com forward slash gb news.com forward slash justice. you gbnews.com forward slash justice. you very much to justice. thank you very much to the nearly 9500 of you have already signed that petition. we're cross live now to we're going to cross live now to manchester crown court and speak we're going to cross live now to m.gb1ester crown court and speak we're going to cross live now to m.gb1ester inorth—west and speak we're going to cross live now to m.gb1ester inorth—west ofd speak to gb news, north—west of england. reporter sophie reaper sophie, very much for sophie, thank you very much for joining again. sophie, thank you very much for joining again . so lucy letby joining us again. so lucy letby has got a life sentence. she will never see the light of day again in the outside . world again in the outside. world >> she absolutely will not. patrick today has been a highly emotional day here at manchester crown court . obviously, we've crown court. obviously, we've been hearing those victim impact statements in the crown court this morning. statements in the crown court this morning . as always, that's

this morning. as always, that's an incredible emotionally charged time . um, we've heard charged time. um, we've heard one from each of the parents of each of the babies who lucy letby has now been found guilty of attacking. i've picked out a few of the key point phrases from those victim impact statements that i'll read to you now from the parents of child a and child b , they said 2015 was and child b, they said 2015 was going to be the best year of our lives. everything was perfect. then, of course , lucy letby then, of course, lucy letby murdered one of their children and attempted to murder another at that, they say, we hope you have a very long life and spend every day suffering for what you've done. you are nothing. we also heard from the mother of child c. she described their time in hospital as like something out of a horror story. lucy letby also murdered their son. and we heard from the mother of e and f, she read this out in the court herself. she

said, peace and happiness of eluded us. the last eight years. it's cowardly and sickening. and it's cowardly and sickening. and i feel like my boys were just a pawn in her sick and twisted games . and just finally, we games. and just finally, we heard from the father of o and p . of course, we've talked a lot about those over the past few weeks. that's the triplets, two of whom were murdered by lucy letby. their father spoke today and he said, lucy letby has destroyed our lives . the anger destroyed our lives. the anger and the hatred i have for her will never go away. it has destroyed me as a man and as a father . and i destroyed me as a man and as a father. and i think that's a sentiment that a lot of the families we've heard from today share, although that has now justice been served . they will justice been served. they will have to suffer through the rest of their lives knowing and feeling the impacts of what lucy letby did. and to them , no letby did. and to them, no sentence will ever be long enough. sophie thank you very, very much and thank you for all the reporting that you've done

on this case throughout it as well. >> it's been a long stint, hasn't it? so thank you very much. sophie reaper there outside crown outside manchester crown court. i now to the former i can speak now to the former chief constable of greater manchester police is peter. peter thank you. a lot of people , myself included, are actually very concerned about what comes next, because i think there are serious question marks about whether or not this particular case gets worse. actually it looks as though there are calls for the police to investigate even more of what's been going on here, whether or not lucy letby was actually responsible for other murders , other for other murders, other attempted murders is worth noting , isn't attempted murders is worth noting, isn't it, attempted murders is worth noting , isn't it, that the only noting, isn't it, that the only reason the police really got a hold of letby was because they were to be were happened to be investigating a huge spike in baby deaths in the area in general. and actually really general. and so actually really , could worse, isn't it ? >> 7- >> yes, 7 >> yes, absolutely . >> yes, absolutely. >> yes, absolutely. >> i think the first thing we need to remember, i think there were four families where the jury were four families where the jury could not make a decision on the evidence. >> so those four families didn't

get any sort of resolution or justice. and they will now have to wait to for the crown prosecution service to make a decision on whether there will be a retrial. and then you're absolutely right. there is then absolutely right. there is then a potentially a further huge investigation into other hospitals . and other times when hospitals. and other times when lucy letby worked . so, again, lucy letby worked. so, again, there are other families who undoubtedly have got big question marks in their minds about why their poor baby died or perhaps why their poor baby suffered a serious illness or disability during the early stage of their life. and they've now got that agony to go through . and that is probably going to take a huge amount of time for the police to do that. and these are very complex cases . it's not are very complex cases. it's not very researched . this sort very well researched. this sort of activity you're on the very edges of science . there will be edges of science. there will be different experts to consult what you know and clarify and draw together all the information , you know, from that information, you know, from that particular time when that baby is you're absolutely is there. so you're absolutely right. huge amount of

right. you know, huge amount of work you know, work for the police, you know, but is there a sense, peter? >> look, peter, you you will know, you will know how this works much better than is works much better than not. is there sense police there a sense that the police and the cps want you to get that b behind bars for what they were really confident they could initially get verdict initially get a guilty verdict on? and it took a long time and it was very controversial. some of the ways that the jury went about it. but and now that she is behind bars forever, they can have a look at some of the other things. and we may well end up seeing more come forward. is that of it, you think? that part of it, do you think? >> yeah , you're absolutely >> yeah, you're absolutely right. know, really complex right. you know, really complex decision police and the decision for the police and the crown prosecution service and no doubt some very specialist barristers that they will have had to consult and you're absolutely right. you've got to get the right amount of evidence together. get a number of together. if you get a number of cases going to at same cases going to court at the same time, rely on time, while you can't rely on coincidences, you can rely on evidence of similar facts. and the see a pattern in the jury will see a pattern in what's actually happened . you what's actually happened. you know, and there's a huge amount

of work to really confirm the evidence in this case, nearly all the evidence was circumstantial . it was a all the evidence was circumstantial. it was a huge amount circumstantial amount of circumstantial evidence, but it was circumstantial. so needed to circumstantial. so you needed to have a huge weight of that to hopefully convince the jury beyond all reasonable doubt. so i'm sure it was quite a difficult balancing act for the police and the crown prosecution service because when they had enough to absolutely take it, a charge . but then there were charge. but then there were delays , delays because of covid, delays, delays because of covid, the backlog in the courts and just how long it takes to draw together a prosecution like this and get enough time . and to get enough court time. this was a nine month trial. yeah obviously, get yeah and obviously, you get a jury yeah and obviously, you get a jury that can spend that amount of time and there's no question they an outstanding job in they did an outstanding job in not only sitting the not only sitting through the trial, making sense of trial, but also making sense of all complex scientific all that complex scientific evidence . evidence. >> absolutely. look, thank you very, much, peter. it's very, very much, peter. it's great to have you the show great to have you on the show and your insight into, and have your insight into, frankly, well, what might frankly, as well, what might come fahy there, come next. is peter fahy there, who the chief who is the former chief constable greater manchester constable of greater manchester police. very quickly, police. look, just very quickly,

i alert you to i just want to alert you to something i'm going be something i'm going to be talking bit later on, talking about a bit later on, which is about the baby death scandals generally in this country. issues country. okay. we've had issues of the ockenden review, shoes being telford . a report found being telford. a report found that some 200 babies essentially died needlessly there. we've had a similar situation at furness general cumbria, the morecambe bay staffordshire, bay area one in staffordshire, one east kent with the kirkup one in east kent with the kirkup report . okay, i'll more report. okay, i'll have more info of these coming your info on all of these coming your way shortly. but the reason i wanted to highlight is wanted to highlight that is because actually you wonder, well, why wasn't lucy letby caught this caught sooner? how was this allowed happen? why weren't allowed to happen? why weren't people her believed? people reporting her believed? why was part her mitigation why was part of her mitigation such defence? the fact that there was just general negligence going it's negligence going on? well, it's because and it's because of this stuff and it's because of this stuff and it's because hundreds and because there are hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of cases in this country of maternity ward scandals of baby death scandals. and when people say lessons will be learned over all of this or people will be held to account, well, no lessons have been learned, have they? because right now because here we are right now reporting a woman being reporting on a woman being given a live and murdering

of people just waiting on the other side of the channel. and apparently, ready apparently, remarkably, a ready supply the french supply of boats. and the french stopping fewer of than they stopping fewer of them than they did last year. but did this time last year. but maritime sources have confirmed that carrying around 50 that one boat carrying around 50 channel it to the channel migrants made it to the east coast entered east sussex coast and entered the river. rother, at the town of rye, grief okay, so the last channel migrants the more river migrants, i suppose at this stage or gb news can report that 15 small boats made it to uk waters. at least 750 migrants had reached uk shores . more than had reached uk shores. more than 18,600 people have crossed the channel since the beginning of the year, with sources saying that likely that the that it was likely that the figure 20,000 by the figure could top 20,000 by the end the week. the good news end of the week. the good news keeps on coming. our homeland security editor mark white is here me. mark, so some here with me. mark, so some people actually made it upstream i >> -- >> um, -_ >> um, they did. i think there must have been a sight to behold for the people of rye as this small boat . i say small, decent small boat. i say small, decent size boat these days were 50 we're told channel migrants on

board up the river rather, and the local lifeboat from hastings was called out to go to look at that, to intercept , kept people that, to intercept, kept people get upset when we say intercept because what they say is actually happening is that they go alongside the boat and just transfer those. >> oh, why didn't they just let them carry on a bit, pull up at some kind of riverside pub grill? >> i'm not. i'm not privy to exactly how that operation went. only that the hastings lifeboat caught up with the small migrant boat as it was in the river just at rye . so this during what has at rye. so this during what has been a very , very busy day, been a very, very busy day, there's no doubt . and you talk there's no doubt. and you talk about that record day this year is 755 people who crossed on the 10th of august. will these migrants coming up the beach, the shingle beach at dungeness today , is it? yeah, that's today, is it? yeah, that's today. just one of 15 small

boats that made it across . and boats that made it across. and of course, we're not at the end of course, we're not at the end of today yet. there are reports of today yet. there are reports of another boat that is out there way down that headed off from sort of normal heading across . and it may have reached across. and it may have reached uk waters by now when it does, we could be at 800, in which of course , that one day record set course, that one day record set on the 10th of august would be beaten and it's not going to get any better as the week goes on. patrick because we're told that the wet well , the weather is the wet well, the weather is going to get better, but the migrant crisis is going to get considerably worse , i think, for considerably worse, i think, for the government and for rishi sunak pledged to stop the boats as this week continues, because we are expecting come wednesday , thursday, we could be into almost zero windows in the channel which will bring with it flat calm conditions. it will. >> and just to recap as well, we

had a couple of interesting stories, kind of migrant related stories, kind of migrant related stories today. the home office supposedly being urged when processing claims to be more sceptical of some of those claims. apparently insinuation that there's a well, we will believe you and then wait to be proven wrong, which unless somebody voluntarily admits that they are an economic migrant who actually wanted to come here of their own is not going their own volition is not going to i find it astonishing to happen. i find it astonishing that that advice needed to be given . given. >> well, yeah. i mean, the whole way in which these asylum claims are assessed is in complete meltdown at the moment . the meltdown at the moment. the government has got more people working on these claims. but when you get to the point of saying, well, if someone is coming up with a story that is a bit dubious, to say the least, then you know, maybe err on the side of not believing them for a while. yes, that's exactly what you would expect them to be doing. but the flip side of that is it then just delays the

process even further. we've got more than 170,000 people on the asylum waiting list at the moment whose cases are still being assessed and that continues to grow with every passing day like today. continues to grow with every passing day like today . add passing day like today. add another 750, maybe 800 to that total. >> mark, thank you very much. mark white. there are homeland security editor just keeping you up of what is up to date of what is potentially anyway going to be a record day in the channel for the year. certainly not far off that. ahead . the fact that. a look ahead. the fact that. a look ahead. the fact that have a lot more of this that we have a lot more of this to come and the questions of where the heck do we put these people well, this people now because, well, this time were time last year we were overflowing our detention overflowing at our detention centres, weren't no centres, weren't we? and no doubt exactly the doubt it will be exactly the same. there we go. still to same. but there we go. still to come, between now and 6 pm, good stuff. this nearly 50 conservative of conservative members of parliament, pm parliament, including former pm liz written to the liz truss, have written to the pm to end politically pm two try to end politically motivated that boycotts motivated boycott that boycotts boycotts would be quite something, wouldn't it? boycott of news outlets . a little bit of news outlets. a little bit more info on that and hopefully

i'll be able to talk when i come back. patrick christys

channel >> nearly 50 tory mps , including >> nearly 50 tory mps, including former home secretary priti patel, former prime minister liz truss, have written to the current prime minister in a bid to end politically motivated boycotts of news outlets . it boycotts of news outlets. it comes after the department suggested that the controversial conscious advertising network

helped to protect brand safety look basic . what all of this look basic. what all of this means, in a nutshell, is that they're a select group of companies that decide adverts and where those adverts go. there's about 5 or 6 of those companies in the uk and they all sign up to this conscious advertising network rubbish. and groups like stop funding hate, make them sign some kind of petition to say, oh look, we're lovely and fluffy and we all lovely and fluffy and we all love our values here. and then they try to asphyxiate news outlets who don't agree with their values and therefore put them out of business. toby young joins me now, general secretary of the free speech union, who's going what's on going to explain what's going on much than i just much more eloquently than i just have. what's happening? much more eloquently than i just havso what's happening? much more eloquently than i just havso there nhat's happening? much more eloquently than i just havso there is at's happening? much more eloquently than i just havso there is thishappening? much more eloquently than i just havso there is this organisation >> so there is this organisation called the conscious advertising network , and most big network, and most big advertising agencies in the uk that book advertising on new newspapers on television channels and the rest of it,

most of them have signed up to this particular campaign and the campaign aims to make sure that people who want to advertise can advertise in safe environments , advertise in safe environments, environments that are supposedly not going to contain their products and five of the uk's biggest advertising agencies are signed up to the conscious advertising network. >> and these same five agencies, all participated in the boycott of news initiated by stop funding hate. and some of the founders of the conscious advertising network are themselves members of stop funding hate. i think it's very alarming and i'm not surprised that a former prime minister and the former home secretary have written to rishi sunak about this. we can't have advertisers decide on behalf of some of the uk's biggest agencies , biggest uk's biggest agencies, biggest manufacturers, biggest brands where they should and shouldn't advertise on political grounds, essentially , what they're trying essentially, what they're trying to do is shut down anything

which doesn't conform to their particular progressive view of the world. they're trying to demonetise platforms like gb news newspaper , like the sun and news newspaper, like the sun and the daily mail because they disapprove of their political content. and that can't be fair in what should be, politically speaking, a level playing field, especially considering that this boycott started , as far as i'm boycott started, as far as i'm aware, before a minute of gb news content had ever actually been aired. >> yeah , that's right. >> yeah, that's right. >> yeah, that's right. >> the stop funding hate decided before gb news had even launched that it was a hate filled right wing channel. it was going to be the british equivalent of fox news , even though the people who news, even though the people who set up gb news explicitly said it's not going to be the fox news of the uk, but because gb news of the uk, but because gb news is reasonably balanced and evenhanded compared to a lot of other progressive broadcasters, it's perceived by people in the advertising industry as being biased to the right because they've become so used to

watching news and current affairs programmes which are biased to the left. so they happily jumped on this boycott bandwagon and effectively made it very , very difficult for gb it very, very difficult for gb news from its very from its very inception to actually make any money. >> no, indeed. and this is an issue that we're going to be talking about a lot more regularly, toby, in future because kind of because frankly, this kind of stuff could happen to anyone. it's having a little it's also worth having a little look, isn't it? i think some of the stop funding the groups like stop funding hate some of their political hate and some of their political views when comes to things views when it comes to things like israel—palestine like the israel—palestine conflict. been had conflict. and they've been had a lot of issues around that . and lot of issues around that. and these are the people that are deciding moral compass deciding what the moral compass of be. and the of society should be. and the advertisers should should not actually be advertising on this. it's got it's got echoes . toby, it's got it's got echoes. toby, hasn't it, of the de—banking scandal where somebody's views don't fit into a narrow, narrow kind of broadly speaking, don't fit into a narrow, narrow kind of broadly speaking , left kind of broadly speaking, left wing woke prism. and then they end up trying to be cancelled for it.

>> that's right . it absolutely >> that's right. it absolutely there are parallels with the de—banking scandal. there are parallels with the de—banking scandal . you know, de—banking scandal. you know, parts of our society which should be the keepers of the ring rather than taking sides when it comes to politically contentious issues , the big contentious issues, the big political issues of our time are taking sides there. decide that some points of view often are points of view held by the vast majority of the british population. such as the view that sex is binary and immutable and rooted in biology points of view like that are now being decreed as beyond the pale . and decreed as beyond the pale. and anyone giving a fair hearing to people on that side in that debate are considered to be far right , whether it's banks or right, whether it's banks or advertising agencies, they should be in partial. they should be in partial. they should be in partial. they should be keeping the ring, should be in partial. they should be keeping the ring , not should be keeping the ring, not taking sides . taking sides. >> toby, thank you very much as ever as toby young, they're, of course, who fronts up the free speech union is the general secretary. i'm obviously going to this issue fairly

to be raising this issue fairly regularly here on this show. this is how they try and get you right. they think, oh, not enough people or watch your show. fine. well, that turns out to rubbish. doesn't to be absolute rubbish. doesn't say, you'll never enough say, oh, you'll never get enough traction. again, says traction. well, again, that says absolute rubbish. never absolute rubbish. you'll never win well, we've won absolute rubbish. you'll never win of well, we've won absolute rubbish. you'll never win of awards well, we've won absolute rubbish. you'll never win of awards andl, we've won absolute rubbish. you'll never win of awards and sove've won absolute rubbish. you'll never win of awards and so whatwon absolute rubbish. you'll never win of awards and so what are loads of awards and so what are they to do is try and they trying to do is to try and suffocate with advertising suffocate you with advertising revenue, they? there suffocate you with advertising rev�* go. a, they? there suffocate you with advertising rev�*go. look, they? there suffocate you with advertising rev�*go. look, a they? there suffocate you with advertising rev�*go. look, a little there suffocate you with advertising rev�*go. look, a little bit there suffocate you with advertising rev�*go. look, a little bit of1ere we go. look, a little bit of breaking news for you. this just come in now. the family of olivia pratt—korbel al have expressed their solidarity with the lucy letby after the victims of lucy letby after the victims of lucy letby after the nurse to turn the former nurse failed to turn up sentencing. olivia up for her sentencing. olivia was when she was was nine years old when she was shot dead by liverpool drug dealer thomas cashman. he also refused to come to the sentencing . here's what they've sentencing. here's what they've been saying . been saying. >> it's important for the families. my personal experience right . in the families. my personal experience right. in the impact families. my personal experience right . in the impact statement right. in the impact statement was really hard . it wasn't it was really hard. it wasn't it didn't take minutes. it was days over a matter of weeks . and . and
