3:10 pm
is a slap in the face for taxpayers . the world is laughing taxpayers. the world is laughing at britain over this and the british government is laughing at . us email british government is laughing at. us email me gb views gbnews.com. let me know what you think those are, of course, just my thoughts. the argument for foreign aid is that it helps development in other countries. it pay of the way for it helps pay of the way for things like trade and just good bilateral relations . et cetera. bilateral relations. et cetera. and the morally right thing and it's the morally right thing to do. if you feel that way, especially know. but especially then let me know. but now to the latest on the channel migrant and gb news can migrant crisis and gb news can reveal more than 19,000 reveal that more than 19,000 asylum arrived in asylum seekers have arrived in small boats this year. viewers can see dozens of migrants being brought it over earlier today. official office figures official home office figures this morning show that 211 channel migrants arrived in uk waters yesterday and were picked up, of course, by border force vessels and this morning gb news saw two border force vessels arrive at the migrant processing
3:11 pm
facility in dover harbour , where facility in dover harbour, where we should also have a little clip for you at some point of migrants literally laughing on their way over on tiktok as well, making us yet again another laughing stock. i'm joined by our home and security edhon joined by our home and security editor, mark white. but this really laughing matter , mark. >> no . 19,000. clearly is not >> no. 19,000. clearly is not welcome news as far as the government is concerned . and government is concerned. and we've had tho rishi sunak still claiming that the stop the boats policy is working, that we are 13% down on the figure for last yean 13% down on the figure for last year, which is true, and that in the month of august 8500 people arrived . and last august , this arrived. and last august, this august it's around about 4000 or so. so half that number. but the issue is i keep repeating time after time, the maritime experts that we speak to that see and work the channel and that know this issue intimately since the
3:12 pm
beginning of this crisis believe that the weather has been the predominant factor in why we've had a reduction in those crossing . and it really only crossing. and it really only takes a run of good days for that gap of 13% to be diminished that gap of 13% to be diminished that significantly. we can give you a shot of for our television viewers of a migrant boat. now, look at that. that's it's in the middle of the channel. absolutely full of people . it is absolutely full of people. it is absolutely full to the gunnels . absolutely full to the gunnels. and that boat was picked up by the border force vessel ranger . the border force vessel ranger. and then that border force vessel made it to the dover harbour half an hour later. this is the ranger coming into dover harbour this morning. now, as he is always our producer in kent was on the clifftop overlooking and counting those migrants on
3:13 pm
board this particular border force vessel as they disembarked . and he put the figure at 81. now he is off the belief that those 81 were just on that single boat that we saw out in the middle of the channel. and if that's true, then that's very concerning . it is possible. i'll concerning. it is possible. i'll add a caveat that that border force vessel ranger did pick up another boatload. but as i say , another boatload. but as i say, our producer doesn't think so . our producer doesn't think so. he thinks that that's just a single boatload and it really actually just adds to what is a confusing picture in the channel patrick, because some days we get boats that are coming over that only have about 30 and then other days where you've got very significant numbers on the boats and i'm not sure if this is indicative of some issues that the people smugglers are having in trying to fill the boats with those that can actually pay them the money they need, whether they're actually upsizing in boat numbers , we're not quite boat numbers, we're not quite sure. i think the government
3:14 pm
sure. but i think the government to claim it's down to their policies might be a bit risky. >> look, just quickly, i want to tease something we're >> look, just quickly, i want to tease to something we're >> look, just quickly, i want to tease to be something we're >> look, just quickly, i want to tease to be talking ething we're >> look, just quickly, i want to tease to be talking about we're >> look, just quickly, i want to tease to be talking about ine're going to be talking about in more in more detail later on in the show. and relates to raf show. and it relates to raf wethersfield, which is one of these bases, as i'm sure everybody watching and listening these bases, as i'm sure evthisody watching and listening these bases, as i'm sure evthisody w.knows and listening these bases, as i'm sure ev this ody w.knows where stening these bases, as i'm sure ev this ody w.knows where we're g to this show knows where we're looking housing. people while looking at housing. people while awaiting processing and detaining them. and i think you've got a quick update on that, you? that, have you? >> there's eternal >> yeah, there's an eternal assessor out from assessor that's gone out from the to office stakeholders, the home to office stakeholders, including authorities , on including local authorities, on where we're it shows that where we're at. it shows that there are still issues around fire safety risks and water and other utilities that need to be connected up to the buildings there before they can actually house the 1700 young male asylum seekers that they say they're going to. last week we reported that more than a month after the first asylum seekers arrived there , only 80 have gone on site i >> -- >> okay, mark, thank you. like i said, there will be much more info on that a little later info on that a little bit later on mark white, our on in the show. mark white, our home security editor. so as
3:15 pm
home and security editor. so as you've been hearing, channel you've been hearing, the channel migrants and migrants keep on coming and footage emerged of people footage has emerged of people who appear to be asylum seekers who appear to be asylum seekers who be enjoying their who seem to be enjoying their trip across the channel so gb news viewers , there we go, can news viewers, there we go, can see several young men grinning as they head to the uk. oh is that a oh so nice , very nice that a oh so nice, very nice hotel room, isn't it? yeah. all paid for. it would appear , by paid for. it would appear, by the british taxpayer , of course. the british taxpayer, of course. ah, there we are. having a nice time. isn't he good for him? i'm joined now by jeremy hudson from migration watch uk . hey jeremy, migration watch uk. hey jeremy, we are now just being completely and utterly laughed at quite literally, aren't we, by people coming across on their smartphones on tiktok , just smartphones on tiktok, just taking videos of the great 4 or 5 star treatment that we're giving them? >> absolutely. it makes your blood boil, quite frankly. patrick when we hear of these, you know, the ngos like care for calais saying now we've got these people fleeing persecution and war. they're all very
3:16 pm
vulnerable people. it's almost like the ngos saying that sort of thing, living in a parallel universe where there isn't this plethora of social media content out there of these guys coming across happy as larry sitting their feet up in the hotel room, you know, getting their three meals a day and a little bit of pocket money these ngos . that pocket money to these ngos. that doesn't seem exist. it's a doesn't seem to exist. it's a completely universe. doesn't seem to exist. it's a con utterly universe. doesn't seem to exist. it's a conutterly bizarre universe. doesn't seem to exist. it's a con utterly bizarre because ;e. doesn't seem to exist. it's a con utterly bizarre because the it's utterly bizarre because the proof is out there and we are being taken taken the mickey of i >> -- >> yeah, well, it would appear that way , wouldn't it? look, that way, wouldn't it? look, what would you say to people who say, well those people have got on boats. have arrived on boats. yes, they have arrived here. we have to put them somewhere. that hotel room somewhere. and that hotel room is probably the only place for them . them. >> well, that's why the government really government needs to really get its get things its act in order and get things like bbc, stockholm running, like the bbc, stockholm running, getting like that, getting more barges like that, getting more barges like that, getting these old getting these these old ex—forces bases running. but at every attempt, that seems to be some bizarre bureaucratic hurdle that holds things up and then, oh, well, we'll just have to stick them in a lovely plush hotel instead . and whilst this
3:17 pm
hotel instead. and whilst this is happening, of course, the deterrent effect is to put off more people make more people to make the crossings nearly non—existent crossings is nearly non—existent because well , we're welcoming because well, we're welcoming them with open arms and giving them with open arms and giving them everything they could possibly it's utterly ridiculous. >> think sticks in the craw >> i think it sticks in the craw of the british taxpayer, doesn't it? opened up a bit on it? i mean, i opened up a bit on foreign today. initially foreign aid today. i initially wasn't doing wasn't really planning on doing much and then much about foreign aid. and then i office and watched i sat in the office and watched india something at the dark india fire something at the dark side of the moon and then land it there. and then i thought, hang a minute. our foreign hang on a minute. is our foreign aid be aid to india supposed to be increasing like 70? increasing by something like 70? i have at i thought i'll have a look at how we've given over how much we've given them over the then whilst that the years. and then whilst that was had look some was there, i had a look at some other world that other areas of the world that we've given foreign aid to, which included literal which has included literal terrorists and an ethiopian girl band and apparently some kenyan rainmakers to watch some ants. and i thought, gosh , you know, and i thought, gosh, you know, the british taxpayer does get a bit of a rum deal. and this this just to be the latest just appears to be the latest instalment of that, because as we ourselves we as we brace ourselves for more days in the channel, more red days in the channel, which are supposedly coming in
3:18 pm
the week or so , we could the next week or so, we could well end up seeing scenes like well end up seeing scenes like we saw last year at the manston processing centre with the overflowing and all of these people have to go somewhere, don't they? and i think now more than ever, the british taxpayer should be looking at this and just wondering whether or not their money is being well spent as as always, money for as well as always, money for these, you know, terribly worthy causes all around the world. >> when you're, you know, >> but when you're, you know, from some northern town or village or coastal towns as well, there's, you well, in the south, there's, you know, always a of know, it's always a lot of wrangling to anything wrangling just to get anything done, pothole done, even to get a pothole filled so yes, think filled in. so yes, i think the british probably quite british probably aren't quite right feel like they're not right to feel like they're not quite as highly prioritised as they it's they should be. it's an interesting one regarding foreign aid. i mean, we'll soon be about a potential be hearing about a potential trade deal with india . so of trade deal with india. so of course that foreign aid is probably used sweeten course that foreign aid is proba up used sweeten course that foreign aid is proba up and used sweeten course that foreign aid is proba up and try|sed sweeten course that foreign aid is proba up and try and sweeten course that foreign aid is proba up and try and coax eeten course that foreign aid is proba up and try and coax some india up and try and coax some concessions out of them. but we don't know what other concessions we might be giving them , particularly regarding them, particularly regarding immigration. and indians, for example, are one of the quite a
3:19 pm
few thousand of them. think few thousand of them. i think over a thousand have come this year boats and year in small boats and statistics out will statistics as they come out will show that figure going show that that figure is going to yeah no, exactly. >> and again, it is one of those things that what are we getting out of it? but we'll have to wait and jeremy, thank you wait and see. jeremy, thank you very hunter there very much. jeremy hunter there from emails from migrationwatch, uk. emails coming in thick and fast this. hello don't think coming in thick and fast this. hell�*india don't think coming in thick and fast this. hell�*india or don't think coming in thick and fast this. hell�*india or chinal't think coming in thick and fast this. hell�*india or china should; coming in thick and fast this. hell�*india or china should be that india or china should be getting any foreign aid from us. this thought this is from nicola. i thought the was to the idea of foreign aid was to help develop. look, help countries develop. look, nicola, i completely get what you're argument nicola, i completely get what you're it argument nicola, i completely get what you're it would argument nicola, i completely get what you're it would athat|ent nicola, i completely get what you're it would athat it1t against it would be that it would with trade deals. would help us with trade deals. it good relations it helps us with good relations and massive poverty in and there is massive poverty in india. even if the indian india. and even if the indian government something india. and even if the indian goverrthat, something india. and even if the indian goverrthat, maybe something india. and even if the indian goverrthat, maybe we something india. and even if the indian goverrthat, maybe we should.1ing about that, maybe we should. it's necessarily view , it's not necessarily my view, but course is the view of but of course it is the view of some . anyway, more some people. anyway, more on this website . this story on our website. gbnews.com, fastest gbnews.com, which is the fastest growing national news website in the country . all the best the country. all the best analysis, opinion and of analysis, big opinion and of course, the latest breaking news. but there has been another setback campaign groups setback for campaign groups opposed khan's ulez opposed to sadiq khan's ulez expansion. lawyers say that a bid to overturn the plan would

3:24 pm
rose and i will bring you nigel farage's reaction to that. >> it's fair to say he's not happy. she is, of course , famous happy. she is, of course, famous for the de—banking scandal and very serious story. now, a little bit later on in the show, we'll have an exclusive interview with the auntie of murdered law graduate zara aleena . she is backing gb news aleena. she is backing gb news campaign to make killers attend court to face their victims and hear their sentencing. i caught up with her a little bit earlier on today . we had a good chat and on today. we had a good chat and we tried to draw a policy we tried to draw up a policy between us to try to make sure that the government can enforce this . we're sick and tired of this. we're sick and tired of just talking about it, really. they saying that it's going to be in the king's speech to make people court to hear the people go to court to hear the victim statements and victim impact statements to and hear sentencing. the hear their sentencing. but the waste deciding and waste loads of time deciding and pontificating that waste loads of time deciding and pontifi should that waste loads of time deciding and pontifi should be. that waste loads of time deciding and pontifi should be. so that waste loads of time deciding and pontifi should be. so we that waste loads of time deciding and pontifi should be. so we decided policy should be. so we decided to for them. so that to draw it up for them. so that will up on in will be coming up later on in the you can sign our the show. but you can sign our petition now by scanning the qr code on the right hand side of your by going to your screen or by going to gbnews.com forward gb news.com forward slash justice. nearly gbnews.com forward slash justice. nearly 30,000 justice. so far, nearly 30,000 of last time i checked
3:25 pm
of you. last time i checked anyway, had already signed that petition . you. just petition. thank you. we just want hammer home to want to really hammer home to the government that killers need to so stay to face real justice. so stay tuned for that. but now to the latest in the battle to stop sadiq khan extending the controversial ulez scheme. and there's another setback for campaigners hoping block the campaigners hoping to block the mayor of london's khan mayor of london's plans. khan says the decision to expand it across all london boroughs next tuesday will reduce pollution, affecting 5 million people. well, it's come for in heavy criticism from campaigners , but criticism from campaigners, but it's reported that any attempt by the government to overturn the expansion would fail in the courts. so drivers of vehicles that don't conform to the ulez rules have to pay £12.50 a day if they enter the zone. there's rather a lot to this story . and rather a lot to this story. and here to help unpick it is conserved mp jonathan gullis. jonathan thank you very, very much . so people might think that much. so people might think that maybe this should have gone to the court. should the government have up more of a fight have not put up more of a fight if disagree it that
3:26 pm
if they disagree with it that vehemently ? but patrick, when vehemently? but patrick, when you get legal advice, you're told about the probability of winning. i highly doubt that the government have been told that it illegal to it would be illegal for them to take court and let's not take this to court and let's not forget nigel exposed forget that nigel farage exposed the fact the greater the fact there's the greater london authority says london authority act that says that a policy is out of touch that if a policy is out of touch with national policy, which it is , no government at this moment is, no government at this moment in time is calling for at in time is calling for ulez at any place to go anywhere across the country . this any place to go anywhere across the country. this is the mayor's own choice to expand ulez across greater london, despite the fact that science says it will have zero to minimal impact on actually improving air quality, the fact that he lost a by—election in uxbridge and south ruislip , where people south ruislip, where people roundly rejected the ulez where we've seen london boroughs take the mayor to court. the government should now have the people's backs of greater london and take sadiq khan to court to say that what he is doing is against what government policy would be and is an abuse of his power. as far as i'm concerned, and ultimately will not actually
3:27 pm
improve quality what improve air quality at all. what would say to people who say would you say to people who say that any improved on air quality whatsoever means that it's the right option to do and also some people would say when you look at certain opinion polls, jonathan , people say they want jonathan, people say they want to do something about the climate. maybe this is that what do you reckon ? do you reckon? >> well, look, i've actually got my own petition in stoke on trent because under the labour my own petition in stoke on trerstoke|use under the labour my own petition in stoke on trerstoke one under the labour my own petition in stoke on trerstoke on trenter the labour my own petition in stoke on trerstoke on trent citya labour my own petition in stoke on trerstoke on trent city council' run stoke on trent city council , i'm calling them not to , i'm calling on them not to introduce stage introduce a ulez at any stage at all.and sadly the leader of stoke >> and sadly the leader of stoke on trent city has on trent city council has refused to actually rule one out. waiting for is a out. all i'm waiting for is a simple statement saying it will never under watch never happen under her watch and then full backing then she'll have my full backing in the government in that i know the government lost court to case lost a court to case clientearth. i think it was back in meant local in 2018. that meant local authorities like stoke on trent were made to introduce these clean air zones, which actually were temporary and actually were also ridiculous. and why are they ridiculous? because all they'll do is move traffic from one another area , which one area to another area, which means have to have means that you'll have to have a clean zone following
3:28 pm
clean air zone following around where traffic where you're displacing traffic extraordinarily making air extraordinarily and making air quality worse, having a better pubuc quality worse, having a better public transport system with buses that actually run on time in like stoke, on trent in places like stoke, on trent and a fairer fare and run with a fairer fare system so people can afford to use them. having the infrastructure around being able to have a scrappage scheme where people can actually afford to scrap older vehicles and scrap their older vehicles and get modern vehicle, get a more modern vehicle, a combustion engine still that maybe has, you know, modern technologies within them to be able to actually also able to use to actually also have system as well in place. have a system as well in place. that that we can look at that means that we can look at how we do or do stuff with how we can do or do stuff with our homes help insulate them our homes to help insulate them better or to improve the quality of windows in them we of the windows in them so we don't heat. those don't lose as much heat. those type have type of schemes would have far bigger than this bigger impact than this ridiculous pathetic ulez ridiculous and pathetic ulez scheme, which is purely a money making scheme from the mayor of london. wants to hit london. and now he wants to hit londoners even harder the londoners even harder in the pocket charging blackwall pocket by charging the blackwall tunnel and others. but the reason we're looking to be built as well, reason why as well, yeah, the reason why i try not to be that london centric here on this show for obvious reasons. i'm not

originally from london. london is just a bit of the uk right? but sometimes it's hard because it's the capital city. it's where a of stuff happens. where a lot of stuff happens. but time again but i say time and time again that scheme coming that this ulez scheme is coming to town and city near and to a town and city near you and you've emphasised that in you've emphasised that by in stoke not ruling it out. stoke they're not ruling it out. and again , then i think people and again, then i think people people don't like being taken for a ride and if you look at some of the ways that things have been forced through here in london, debateable science behind it, evidenced the behind it, as evidenced by the latest imperial study that caused controversy caused a lot of controversy because it didn't quite give the results sadiq his results that sadiq khan and his team that's according to team wanted. that's according to reports. also look at the reports. you also look at the fact apparently cameras fact that apparently cameras were ulez the were ordered for ulez before the pubuc were ordered for ulez before the public consultation even actually took place, which just give a strong indication that they've their minds give a strong indication that thejthen their minds give a strong indication that thejthen there their minds give a strong indication that thejthen there was their minds give a strong indication that thejthen there was the, ieir minds give a strong indication that thejthen there was the, in' minds give a strong indication that thejthen there was the, in my nds up. then there was the, in my view, demonisation of people who said that they didn't want ulez and bizarrely, they were managed to be called right, which is to be called far right, which is remarkable . i think the black remarkable. i think the black nurse who was concerned about driving in from bromley every single shocked to be
3:30 pm
single day was shocked to be called far right. and you look at think actually is at it and you think actually is it a little bit underhand? all of as well? absolutely and of this as well? absolutely and that's why the government has to. yes. take the legal advice on board. but the beautiful thing with the law is it's not black and white. otherwise we wouldn't have lawyers. so the government should still press ahead. opinion, and take government should still press ahetto opinion, and take government should still press ahetto court opinion, and take government should still press ahetto court to pinion, and take government should still press ahetto court to pinionthati take government should still press ahetto court to pinionthat atike this to court to show that at least everything it could this to court to show that at le'prevent everything it could this to court to show that at le'prevent this. ything it could this to court to show that at le'prevent this. and1g it could this to court to show that at le'prevent this. and if it could this to court to show that at le'prevent this. and if the)uld to prevent this. and if the government and then to prevent this. and if the gov public|t and then to prevent this. and if the gov public will and then to prevent this. and if the gov public will then and then to prevent this. and if the gov public will then rightlythen to prevent this. and if the gov public will then rightly say| the public will then rightly say that solely that this is now solely a decision of the mayor, sadiq khan. as said , you know, khan. and as you said, you know, angela deputy leader angela rayner, the deputy leader of party, said ulez of the labour party, said ulez was every town and was coming to every town and city across our country. we saw in by—election suddenly in the by—election that suddenly when realised were when labour realised they were on ropes that keir on the ropes that sir keir starmer that ulez should be starmer said that ulez should be delayed shouldn't be rushed delayed and shouldn't be rushed in, then he lost the by—election is now apparently that is now apparently saying that he's ulez altogether. he's against ulez altogether. but is such a u—turn but the man is such a u—turn artist that no one can ever trust says because he trust what he says because he can't to any promises can't stick to any promises he makes. own makes. let alone to his own party why should the party members. so why should the british public trust what has party members. so why should the br say public trust what has party members. so why should the br say as|blic trust what has party members. so why should the br say as well?'ust what has party members. so why should the br say as well? and what has party members. so why should the br say as well? and like has party members. so why should the br say as well? and like isay to say as well? and like you say , sadiq khan has gone , the way sadiq khan has gone about critics

3:36 pm
massive £2.4 million payout just weeks after she resigned amid the fallout of nigel farage's de—banking scandal. former tory minister sir jake berry de—banking scandal. former tory minister sirjake berry has called it a disgraceful reward for failure, whilst the man himself , for failure, whilst the man himself, nigel farage, has absolutely slammed natwest . absolutely slammed natwest. >> well, when i heard the news, i thought perhaps it was a sick joke. surely you cannot breach client confidentiality . you client confidentiality. you can't break virtually every important rule in the fca code book, and you can't then lie about it after you've briefed the bbc and still receive a £2.43 million payout. and yet that's exactly what's happened to alison rose . to alison rose. >> liam halligan joins me now. gb news is economics and business editor for on the money. i mean, this is just bonkers, isn't it? so she's messed up royally quits and then there's £2.4 million on the way out. i do think it's pretty galling given that natwest, of which she was the chief executive, is 40% owned by the
3:37 pm
state and she has effectively having previously denied it, she then had to admit that she'd broken what's the banking equivalent of the doctor's hippocratic oath ? hippocratic oath? >> first, do no harm in banking . the hippocratic oath is never, even . the hippocratic oath is never, ever, ever breach client confidentiality , even when confidentiality, even when you're trying to see off nigel farage. because let's remember , farage. because let's remember, alison rose told a bbc journalist that the reason nigel farage is account was closed at coutts, which is owned by natwest, was because he didn't have enough money in his account, which wasn't actually true. reason they closed true. the reason they closed down his account as nigel's lawyers saw from an internal dossier , a 90 page dossier was dossier, a 90 page dossier was because they didn't like the cut of his political jib . so there's of his political jib. so there's a lot going on here £2.5 million. that's eight times the value of the average family home. that's one year's payment to her before they've actually done an investigation into what she did. so natwest are saying, oh, don't worry, don't worry, we may withdraw some of that money
3:38 pm
if the investigation shows that she something was wrong she did something that was wrong . but of you did . but of course you did something was that's something that was wrong. that's why as for. why she's leaving. and as for. oh, it's in her contract. nothing we do about it. nothing we can do about it. well, if you are from an well, if you are sacked from an organisation, then your contract is anyway . yes. is null and void anyway. yes. it's they allowed it's only because they allowed her to resign as a good leaver that she can claim this amount of money. so if i was a government minister i'd have serious eyebrows in the direction not only of alison rose and the natwest board, but also and i say this again, the chairman of natwest, howard davies , very bright man, but davies, very bright man, but very bright. people can often do very bright. people can often do very not bright things. he denies all wrongdoing importantly. >> so yeah , it comes hot off the >> so yeah, it comes hot off the back of us. yesterday i believe it was liam, you and i having a chat about the general ceo pay, etcetera , in this country. he etcetera, in this country. he just awful , especially in just smells awful, especially in the you do the current climate. but you do have important have some other important economic figures for us. yeah. >> wanted highlight this >> i wanted to highlight this and ifs >> i wanted to highlight this and it's important to and i think it's important to say there are these figures that
3:39 pm
come out every month called pmi. what does pmi mean ? it means what does pmi mean? it means purchasing managers index. what does pmi mean? it means purchasing managers index . and purchasing managers index. and this is a very authoritative survey of business leaders, not just the corporate titans who pay just the corporate titans who pay themselves vast millions, but in import small and medium sized business owners . and the sized business owners. and the purchasing managers index survey asked them what they really think is going on, where they think is going on, where they think the economy is going, and these numbers come out before these numbers come out before the official national income gdp numbers . and they are often numbers. and they are often a good way of seeing where gdp is going and i'm afraid the pmi numbers that came out this morning were really not particularly encouraging. let's say . so let's have a look at say. so let's have a look at some of them on a graphic. so the manufacturing pmi , the manufacturing pmi, manufacturing is still getting on for a fifth of our economy. you'll see that patrick, it went down from 45.3in july to 42.5 in august. bear in mind that if this number is below 50, it indicates that sector is shrinking right? so that's it's shrinking right? so that's it's shrinking a lot. if it's gone down from 45 odd to 42 odd. but
3:40 pm
don't worry , because the uk is a don't worry, because the uk is a service sector economy . oh, the service sector economy. oh, the service sector economy. oh, the service sector economy. oh, the service sector is also now shrinking according to this survey. another big 50 51.5 to 48.7. the economy as a whole. if you put together manufacturer services, all the other subsectors , you'll see the subsectors, you'll see the numbers here, the economy wide, pmi also shrinking in august, down from 50.8 to 47.9. so these are actually the worst pmi figures than we've had since january 2021, which was, of course, during lock down. and this is what happens. patrick if you raise interest rates 14 times in a row, the economy goes into recession and i think what's interesting here isn't just that the economy is slowing since these numbers came out this morning and the reason i was really keen to talk to you about it today. so it's good. i think we've the time. think that we've taken the time. is that financial the is that financial markets, the futures markets are now saying, looking at these numbers , looking at these numbers, crikey, can the bank of england
3:41 pm
really keep raising given really keep raising rates given the extent to it's the extent to which it's punishing the economy, given that this is this is basically saying we're going into a recession now that could be reversed , but this is a major reversed, but this is a major change. so futures markets are now predicting traders are now betting that interest rates won't go up as far as they thought. they're currently 5.25. and they were thinking they'd go all the way up to six, 6.25 over the next few months. they're now saying, oh, maybe just 5.5, 5.75. we're currently at 5.25. so it may be a given that these numbers are so worrying that the economy is slowing, maybe dropping off a cliff . the bank dropping off a cliff. the bank of england feels it has to now take advice from people like me . it hates talking to me. i'll tell you. really? oh they may have to now start taking advice from those of us in the economics profession who have been warning for many, many months that rates take months that interest rates take a long time to feed through, maybe horses, hold maybe hold your horses, hold fire. now just have fire. so we may now just have one interest rate rise . it
3:42 pm
one more interest rate rise. it isn't just me saying that it is financial saying financial markets saying that i do. i just i'm certainly not >> i just i'm certainly not laughing just laughing at you. it's just this idea of there's one more idea of there's only one more interest rise . there's only interest rate rise. there's only one more and there's only one more. keeps more. and then it keeps happening. does happening. you know it does because i you know, i've been saying since stop. saying since april, stop. >> interest >> yeah, stop raising interest rates rate rise rates. an interest rate rise generally takes between 12 and 18 months to feed through into the broader economy and into inflation. this this inflation. so this, this this stalling of the economy that we're seeing reflects we're now seeing reflects interest . you know, interest rate rises. you know, over a year ago, we've been raising since december raising rates since december 2021. it may be that these 2021. so it may be that these are really quite shocking numbers at least eye catching numbers. it may be that when the monetary policy committee next makes move on september the makes its move on september the 26th, it may be that these numbers suggest suggest that they'll do one more and then stop and then that's it, hopefully. >> liam , thank you very, very >> liam, thank you very, very much. liam halligan our economics and business editor. right. it has been claimed right. so it has been claimed that almost 2000 precious artefact have been stolen from the british museum. yeah, the
3:43 pm
custodians really, aren't they? if british culture history treasures as well, how can this be allowed to happen? yeah. so for so long now, nearly 2000 artefacts have been sold and some of them have ended up on ebay. patrick christys gb news, britain's news

3:47 pm
the migrant crisis. many more migrants have arrived in dover today , but rishi sunak claims today, but rishi sunak claims that his policies are helping to reduce the number of small boats crossing and crossing the channel and a little later in the show, i will have an interview with the aunfie have an interview with the auntie of murdered law graduate zara aleena. she is backing gb news petition. my petition to make killers attend court to face their victims and hear their there's qr their sentencing. there's a qr code screen right now. code on your screen right now. you that on phone you can scan that on your phone or to gbnews.com or you can go to gbnews.com forward slash justice, make our voices . we drew up voices heard. we drew up a policy which you'll be hearing a little bit later on, a ready made policy for the government to just enact if wants to just enact if it wants to actually what keeps actually do what it keeps promising do, is make promising to do, which is make killers face real justice. but moving from that, how is it moving on from that, how is it genuinely how is it that around 2000 priceless objects could have been stolen from one of the most prestigious museums on the planet before the police launched an investigation ? so launched an investigation? so according to reports , the number according to reports, the number of artefacts, some of which date back to the 15th century bc, we
3:48 pm
have been stolen from the british museum, which is the third most visited art museum on the planet, and arguably the most famous . after we talk about most famous. after we talk about raiders of the lost art, really. but i'm joined now by historian martin whittock. martin some of these artefacts apparently were valued way into the tens of thousands found themselves on ebay for around £40. what's gone on here? >> well, it really is shocking. >> well, it really is shocking. >> there's no question about it. last thursday, i was on another news platform saying, well, of course you won't find this stuff on ebay, will you ? well, you on ebay, will you? well, you would apparently you would. and what this goes to show is that it wasn't what i thought it was at the which was, you at the time, which was, you know, to order know, stealing to order somebody, taking stuff and putting it out on the dark web, you know , to illegal collectors you know, to illegal collectors and on. it clearly was and so on. it clearly was somebody, it appears , simply somebody, it appears, simply pilfering on a regular basis over decades. and not having a
3:49 pm
way of disposing of it that maximised its value. not that that would have made it right of course, but there would be a kind a grim logic there. but kind of a grim logic there. but it would now reportedly it would appear now reportedly be it's be appearing on ebay. it's absolutely shocking. i remember absolutely shocking. i remember a few years ago when i needed to see or wanted to see a very rare anglo—saxon silver penny. i had to fill in all sorts of protocols, absolutely rightly so. through security so. i went through security checks. i looked at the coin. i discussed it with an expert there. and then you'd be relieved to know i left the coin at the british museum. but of course i was an outsider. and what this goes to show is how vulnerable all collections are to the rogue insider and of course, it is a rogue insider. thousands of conservators , thousands of conservators, thousands of curators , actors thousands of curators, actors doing amazing jobs. thousands of curators, actors doing amazing jobs . but 1 or 2 people. >> well, let me just let me just cut in here, martin. let me just let me just cut in here, because we're seeing things that have been a ring from the been stolen like a ring from the reign of cleopatra , the gold reign of cleopatra, the gold
3:50 pm
jewellery and gems of semi—precious stones. easy for me to say, a roman artefact that did end up of course, as we said there on ebay. did end up of course, as we said there on ebay . and george there on ebay. and george osborne, remember him? he is the chair of the british museum . and chair of the british museum. and it does appear that all of this stuff has been happening without anyone noticing for a very, very long time. and now the greeks have piped up and saying, ah, well, you can't even how do we know you're going to keep the elgin marbles safe? and it does raise the question if the greeks wanted them , surely they could wanted them, surely they could have someone come have just sent someone to come and take them and pick them up and take them back. looks of things. back. by the looks of things. >> yeah. he sadly >> yeah. he has sadly given a lot of ammunition to people in that particular hot button that particular hot, hot button topic, afraid. yeah yeah, topic, i'm afraid. yeah yeah, i agree with you. the thing is, the british museum is a huge collection. it has a vast amount of things in reserve that are never on display. but what it does clearly go to show is security protocols can only be described as lax. now i know
3:51 pm
there will be people watching this now saying you don't have anyidea this now saying you don't have any idea how we have to jump through hoops touch things, through hoops to touch things, look so but look at things and so on. but clearly it's not been enough . if clearly it's not been enough. if somebody in a privileged position can help themselves to this amount of stuff and then flog it in this relatively casual way over years, then they really do have to sadly seriously look at their security protocols because they take seriously, as we all do, the fact that they're the repository of yesterday is evidence for today's study and for the future. when we don't know even what the questions will be asked of these things. well, things that have gone missing on ebay are going to be there to be are not going to be there to be explored students explored by tomorrow's students , by the children today who will be the experts of tomorrow. so it really is shocking. there's no it . no question about it. >> yeah, i just think it turns it a complete and utter it into a complete and utter laughing perfectly laughing stock, to be perfectly honest with you. i mean, the idea can be the idea that they can be the custodians of this stuff custodians of all of this stuff and noticed. well and then not noticed. well i mean, 2000, nearly 2000 artefacts, is not just the artefacts, it is not just the odd bloke walking in and
3:52 pm
pilfering a couple of little items . mean, a items. i mean, this is a concerted campaign and also clearly an idiot. this is the other this. could other element of this. i could just understand it if just about understand it if there some kind of high spec there was some kind of high spec heist had taken place here heist that had taken place here and people decided to do and people had decided to do something incredibly tech and people had decided to do som alling incredibly tech and people had decided to do som all of incredibly tech and people had decided to do som all of thatadibly tech and people had decided to do som all of that stuff. tech and people had decided to do som all of that stuff. but tech and people had decided to do som all of that stuff. but the :h and all of that stuff. but the person who's nicked this stuff didn't even have any way of disposing slapped disposing it. they slapped it on ebay we have ebay for £40. i mean, we have literally been mugged off by a mug, haven't we? >> it is extraordinary. i mean, it is stealing on an industrial scale and the disposing of stolen artefacts in the most amateurish way . so it's stolen artefacts in the most amateurish way. so it's this strange combination , industrial strange combination, industrial scale stealing and amateur disposal . it really could not be disposal. it really could not be made up if this was, you know, on a television series , it would on a television series, it would be sent back and told, let's make this a bit more real, shall we? because industrial scale theft , amateur we? because industrial scale theft, amateur disposal, shocking . it really is tragic. shocking. it really is tragic. martin thank you very much, as eve r. >> even >> martin whittock there, who was, of course, a historian reacting to those thefts of the artefacts from british

space agency has congratulated the indian space research organisation on its success. >> this is gb news across the uk on tv and your car on digital radio and on your smart speaker by simply saying play gb news now it's back over to . patrick now it's back over to. patrick >> we start with the latest on the channel migrant crisis and gb news can reveal that more than 19,000 odd asylum seekers have arrived on small boats this yean have arrived on small boats this year. viewers can see dozens of migrants being brought to dover . earlier today, official . earlier today, an official home office figures this morning show that 211 channel migrants arrived in uk waters yesterday and were picked up by those border force vessels. but this morning, gb saw two border morning, gb news saw two border force vessels arrive at the migrant processing facility in dover harbour, including a very concern learning development about the size of one of these vessels. gb news is home and security editor mark white joins me now. mark yeah, one of these
4:08 pm
boats was a picture that we managed to obtain of a boat mid—channel that shows that boat absolutely full of migrants on board and what the exact number on board was at the time. >> we weren't sure, but the image that we had shows them there. it's a bit of a sort of grainy image because it's shot on the long like a cruise ship lens . but absolutely. i mean, lens. but absolutely. i mean, you can see there's just no room for anything on on board that vessel that it was picked up or at least the occupants from that boat were picked up by the border force vessel ranger, which is one of the catamarans that they use now. and that's the ranger now coming into dover harbour . and the ranger now coming into dover harbour. and again, our producer was in his normal position on the clifftops there overlooking the clifftops there overlooking the harbour itself with his long
4:09 pm
lens and counting. those that came off that boat and he estimates or i say he estimates he counted them at 81 that came off. now he thinks that they all came from that one boat that we saw there that was full in the channel it's possible, of course, adding the caveat that the border force vessel ranger may have picked up some migrants from another boat, but he's fairly sure that's all from the one boat. and if that's the case, then it's really worrying because that's a very , very because that's a very, very significant number to be packed onto one boat. it only takes not even heavy waves to inundate that boat, to tip people off. there are wakes from passing container ships and other shipping that go up and down the channel. lots of potential hazards now. >> indeed . and also in terms of >> indeed. and also in terms of the geography and location of where these boats are taking off, there is reason to believe that they are taking off from further away , including
4:10 pm
further away, including somewhere near the somme. yeah >> yes, that's another indication , again, coming from indication, again, coming from our producer that he thinks one of the boats has taken on to the water probably about 40 miles or so south of boulogne, which in itself is considerably south of dunkirk and calais, the traditional launching points for many of these boats . is that many of these boats. is that boat coming off there obviously has to undertake a much, much longer journey to get towards the kent coast. many of them don't actually make it to the uk waters to that halfway point. and then are forced to turn back. but an indication perhaps of despite the criticisms , some of despite the criticisms, some effectiveness of law enforcement at around dunkirk and kylie the french doing something yeah now at 5 pm. mark white will be bringing us an exclusive that we have on raf wethersfield, which in light of the fact that we're going to see several red days in the coming week or so, we're
4:11 pm
going to have to put some of these people somewhere and raf wethersfield is one of these processing centres and just give us a little sneaky peek at your massive exclusive. well an indication that that base is still not ready to receive the 1700 migrants it's supposed to off last week as of last week, there was only 80 migrant boats who were in wethersfield. we don't know what the figure is this week . they're predicting this week. they're predicting 500 by the end of the month, which is just over a week away. i'm not sure they'll actually be able to do that . able to do that. >> okay. good stuff. well, look, we wait with bated breath for more detail at p.m, more detail at around 5 pm, mark there are mark white, there are home scores, you scores, the editor, thank you very, you've very, very much. but as you've been there of been hearing from mark there of course, the migrants course, the channel migrants keep they ? now, keep on coming, don't they? now, footage asylum footage has emerged of asylum seekers who seem enjoy their seekers who seem to enjoy their trip across the channel. that's right . despite, course, right. despite, of course, developing deep seated fear of developing a deep seated fear of water and suffering trauma en route. but gb news viewers can see several young men grinning. i mean, it's obviously a deeply traumatic situation those traumatic situation for those poor , isn't it, as they
4:12 pm
poor chaps, isn't it, as they head uk ? and then we see head to the uk? and then we see the in looks like a the men in what looks like a very room, all very nice hotel room, all paid for , it would the for, it would seem, by the british taxpayer . yeah, yeah. british taxpayer. yeah, yeah. sticks the throat a little sticks in the throat a little bit, doesn't it? all of that. the government insists that its policies reduce policies are helping to reduce the migrants crossing the number of migrants crossing the number of migrants crossing the and a lot of people the channel and a lot of people would say, well, where else do we them? now it's to be we put them? now it's got to be hotels, we can't hotels, hasn't it? if we can't put barges or bases? the put them on barges or bases? the prime minister has made stopping the boats. as we know, one of his five priorities. and his top five priorities. and compared to this time last year, there has been there has been a 13% fall in the number of arrivals. so credit where credit is due to an extent where 13% better off apparently than we were this time last year. but does that prove that rishi sunak's policies are working or are the experts who say that the drop in the numbers is largely down to weather conditions ? down to weather conditions? right. i down to weather conditions? right. i am joined now by political commentator benedict spence pick through the noise spence to pick through the noise . benedict, you very . benedict, thank you very, very much . mean, does appear much. i mean, it does appear that we are being laughed at and
4:13 pm
there a strong case to say there is a strong case to say that rishi's plans aren't stopping it just stopping the boats. it is just whether the key metric whether i think the key metric to remember is that 51% of all crossings came between august and october last year. >> this is the time of the year where actually you will see an upfickin where actually you will see an uptick in the number of people coming. and actually we've had a rather wet summer, a rather sort of the nicest of summers of not not the nicest of summers up to this point. so i do think, you know, the proof will be in the we here the pudding if we sat here sort of two half months of in in two and a half months time and numbers are still time and the numbers are still down, think you say, down, i think then you can say, okay, minister, your your okay, prime minister, your your policies a dent. but policies have made a dent. but up until then, think we should up until then, i think we should hold judgement. up until then, i think we should holcknow, judgement. up until then, i think we should holcknow, broadlydgement. up until then, i think we should holcknow, broadly speaking, you know, broadly speaking, i think you're right. but as much as people might think that they're being laughed at, i think also just think people also are just sort of and not accepting of shrugging and not accepting of shrugging and not accepting of but there is a sort of of it. but there is a sort of a testiness. i think when you ask people about this, they don't expect the government to actually solution actually come up with a solution to it because government to it because the government just come up against just seems to come up against barriers. of which are not barriers. some of which are not of its own making and a lot of
4:14 pm
which know, you which are you know, you mentioned earlier, need to mentioned earlier, we need to put certain places. we put people in certain places. we need accommodation, put people in certain places. we neeibase accommodation, put people in certain places. we neeibase, accommodation, put people in certain places. we neeibase , be iccommodation, put people in certain places. we neeibase , be it ommodation, put people in certain places. we neeibase , be it orbarge.tion, put people in certain places. we neeibase , be it orbarge. but it a base, be it a barge. but there's with this there's a problem with this barge problem with barge and there's a problem with the hear these the base. and people hear these sort of endless excuses and actually that this actually they remember that this started 2018. 2018 was when started in 2018. 2018 was when the boat started repaired the boat started being repaired , purchased from the mediterranean, and people started coming over the uk started coming over to the uk essentially when they ran out of space in places like germany and denmark . that was it denmark. that was when it started. years. started. five years. the government had and i know government has had and i know that there have been a lot of things and the things like covid and the ukraine between. but five ukraine war in between. but five years a time to find years is a long time to find a solution to this. and they don't feel the government has got solution to this. and they don't fegrip the government has got solution to this. and they don't fegrip onthe government has got solution to this. and they don't fegrip on it. government has got solution to this. and they don't feg no,»n it. government has got solution to this. and they don't feg no, i it. government has got solution to this. and they don't feg no, i thinkovernment has got solution to this. and they don't feg no, i think you'reient has got solution to this. and they don't feg no, i think you're absolutelyt >> no, i think you're absolutely right noticed right that people i've noticed a sea change actually , if you'll sea change actually, if you'll excuse in last excuse the pun, in the last couple months people now couple of months of people now just completely couple of months of people now just c( by jletely couple of months of people now just cibleeall. and not exasperated by it all. and not expecting anything to be done. and i think that is one of the main problems , because main problems, because that completely for completely opens the door for the open border brigade, doesn't it? for, oh, well, let's it? and for, oh, well, let's just happen wash over just let it happen and wash over us and a complete surrender and capitulation. think capitulation. and i don't think
4:15 pm
britain in future will britain in the future will remember kindly if we do remember us kindly if we do that. what about getting out of the echr getting out of the echr is unthinkable for most people in government, most people in the civil service because mean as much as anything else. >> sounds like hard >> it sounds like a lot of hard work, which is, but for work, which it is, but for similar reasons as the opposition to brexit. people don't like change and that's never more true than of politicians or lawyers. they like work within like to work within the parameters that they've been set and jolly if other and they're jolly happy if other people set those parameters for them. the big question them. i suppose the big question mark over getting out of the echr is and i think a lot of people would be prepared to listen idea getting listen to the idea of getting out if you could put out of the echr if you could put to a sensible, viable to them a sensible, viable alternative. as suppose alternative. but as i suppose even brexiteers have found out , even brexiteers have found out, just because you leave something, it doesn't necessarily mean that people necessarily mean that the people you replace you put in charge to replace that enough that thing are competent enough to do it. and if you look at the record, i say, of this record, as i say, of this government over last five government over the last five years, that the years, would you say that the echr helps us know, echr necessarily helps us know, would these to would you trust these people to come something come up with something better? and to and a lot of voters would go. to be don't think we be honest, i don't think we
4:16 pm
would. a really would. and that's a really tncky would. and that's a really tricky to tricky situation for us to be in, knowing well that our in, knowing full well that our hands are bound, but not knowing what out and it what else is out there. and it would something would appear to be something like abyss like the abyss. >> exactly. and just one >> yeah, exactly. and just one final with final quick one with you. benedict sunak, think benedict rishi sunak, i think is playing a dangerous game, playing quite a dangerous game, saying that his plans are working because in couple of working because in a couple of months time we might actually realise that they're not working. is he better to just keeping his mouth shut, do you think? >> i do think he would be better off reeling it for in now. i think rishi sunak is far too clever a politician by half. he initially going to initially said he was going to reduce numbers back the reduce the numbers back to the manifesto levels. then he changed his mind and he said, well, down to the well, i'll get them down to the levels were before levels that they were before i became prime minister. but at levels that they were before i bec start3rime minister. but at levels that they were before i bec start ofne minister. but at levels that they were before i bec start of boris nister. but at levels that they were before i bec start of boris johnson's: at the start of boris johnson's tenure could do tenure and he could well do that. but think he's banking that. but i think he's banking on that in an in an on the idea that in an in an election cycle, people look election cycle, people will look at situation at the migration situation and they'll , oh, okay, the they'll go, oh, okay, the government is messed up. i government is messed up. but i still labour still trust them over the labour party are pretty open minded party who are pretty open minded about bringing in lots of people. think that is people. i think that that is a real gamble you don't real gamble though. you don't want that people are
4:17 pm
want it to be that people are choosing your party out of apathy. is. apathy. no it is. >> a massive it's >> it's a massive gamble. it's an massive gamble an absolutely massive gamble because there is that huge sense at much worse at the moment of how much worse could it actually be. and when you're that territory, then you're in that territory, then you're in that territory, then you consider you might actually consider voting else. voting for somebody else. benedict thank you very much. absolute pleasure. but an expense that political commentator the commentator i think one of the things is things with with rishi sunak is that can understand that jenny and i can understand this completely comes to this completely when it comes to the that thought, the bows is that he thought, well, the illegal well, i'll bring in the illegal migration bill and did not anticipate amount of hold anticipate the amount of hold ups there be in the ups that there will be in the courts the amount of courts or the amount of facilitation certain facilitation done by certain charities. human charities. perhaps with human trafficking and the readiness for to lawyer up illegal for them to lawyer up illegal immigrants and our inability to also deport people as well. so i can understand that he really did think that this might work. it does raise this really bizarre question, and it's a question that people will scoff at me for asking. and i kind of don't really mean it because i get the undertones to this. but is there a thing as having get the undertones to this. but isbitzre a thing as having get the undertones to this. but isbit too a thing as having get the undertones to this. but isbit too much thing as having get the undertones to this. but isbit too much lawg as having get the undertones to this. but isbit too much law becauseing a bit too much law because you've a democratically you've got a democratically elected government trying to enact a policy that has gone through a democratic parliament at a policy that is favoured by

the overwhelming majority of people when comes to people when it comes to controlling borders , that we controlling our borders, that we cannot make work cannot enact or make work because of legal hold ups when it comes to adhering to the echr and being able to deport people or the legalities of rwanda, and at what point does the rule of law and the checks and balances imposed a supposed tyrannical imposed on a supposed tyrannical government actually stop us from doing the policies that public would want from a democratically elected government? more on elected government? but more on that our website. that story on our website. gbnews.com it's the fastest growing national site in growing national news site in the it's got the best the country. it's got the best analysis opinion analysis, big opinion and the latest breaking news. well, look, in a moments , i'm look, in a few moments, i'm going to bring you quite a powerful interview actually with the auntie of murdered law graduate zara aleena . now she's graduate zara aleena. now she's backing my campaign to make killers attend court to face their victims and hear their sentencing. there's a qr code on your screen right now, and there is a link which is gbnews.com forward slash justice that you can go to and sign that

actually actually the court process in the kindest possible way, they said is nothing to do with you . and even though with you. and even though i accept that and my you know, my mind accepts that , my brain mind accepts that, my brain accepts that , i really felt that accepts that, i really felt that we needed a part to play, that we needed a part to play, that we needed a part to play, that we needed to have some part because we were and are the aggrieved party. society is outraged . and that's why people outraged. and that's why people came along to the vigil and everybody's outrage changed. but the people that are hurt most hurt and destroyed and have to pick up the pieces and have to learn how to breathe again or us. but the essential reason for why i think he should have been there is so that we got a chance to look at him and tell him what he did and whether he cared or not, whether he spat. as we spoke , whether he would put his
4:28 pm
spoke, whether he would put his fingers in his ears, whether he would sing a song, whether he would sing a song, whether he would laugh, it wouldn't matter to us. we got to say, his piece. we got to we got to say our piece. and to look at him while we're saying our piece . and that we're saying our piece. and that would have given us something like, i think it's really interesting that you say there that you wouldn't have actually minded if he'd have kicked off in the dock. >> really, which i know is one of why a of of the reasons why a lot of people think that shouldn't people think that it shouldn't be essential for people to attend. there of course , attend. there are, of course, other practical ways to nullify that. and pharaoh , one of my that. and pharaoh, one of my concerns with with the government and other politicians saying we'll put something in the king's speech, we'll do something about it. we want to do something about. it is we see far too often that they get bogged down in the practicalities of it and it goes back forth and years back and forth and then years pass in this exact pass and we end up in this exact situation another poor situation with another poor family long time family in however long time time. and i hoping that you time. and i was hoping that you and able up and i might be able to come up with a couple of solutions. right. and actually be able to
4:29 pm
maybe draw up a bit of a plan here, some practical plans that you know. maybe we could you never know. maybe we could one day put to the government. and so what practical ideas and changes do you have in mind to create a law and reinforce a law that means that these vile, evil monsters do actually face victims families in court, do face their sentencing in court. what are some of the plans that you might have there ? you might have there? >> i have i have some very clear ideas. and i've thought about this a lot. and i've thought, what is it that we want at the end and what we want at the end is one for this trend to stop . is one for this trend to stop. two for victims to face the offender and for three and three, what's society wants, not just us victims, is for to see justice being taken place. so a judge to look at the offender and i think these are the three things that we need. so to get
4:30 pm
them, i think we use the art of persuasion and not force because i think i have said in the past and i may have said it to you, i can't recall. i have said drag them in kicking , but i was can't recall. i have said drag them in kicking, but i was in a highly emotional state. and actually i don't agree with dragging them in, kicking . and i dragging them in, kicking. and i think just as a lawyer, a barrister will say to the offender , plead guilty, you'll offender, plead guilty, you'll get five years off, you'll get five years off your tariff and that happened in our situation when he pleaded guilty , he got when he pleaded guilty, he got five years off his tariff in that same sentence . it just that same sentence. it just needs to be added . well, if you needs to be added. well, if you don't attend court , you get that don't attend court, you get that five years back on. now stay tuned because in the next hour i will be playing you the back half of that where basically farron, i do completely put together a policy that will be ready for the government to use.
4:31 pm
>> it's easy to be enacted and it ensures that nobody has to go through what her family went through, what the families of lucy lepage's victims went through. you could go on and on and on. there's a qr code on your right now your screen right there. now which you'll be able to see if you're or you're watching us on tv or online. can your online. you can hold your smartphone just against that and it rest for you. it will do the rest for you. alternatively, you can go to gb news slash news dot com forward slash justice. we want to do is justice. what we want to do is make sure that killers face real justice. i am not just justice. okay? and i am not just going to settle for the government saying they'll do something they something about it. what they will doing is spending will end up doing is spending ages talking about the minutia and the small practicalities and then arguing with each other. and the opposite in about exactly what this new law should look like to make killers being caught. to hear the victims impact statement and the sentencing. okay we will design that policy for them . it has that policy for them. it has been done. and i will play you the rest of that in the later part of this show. but if you can sign our petition, then please do , because the more
4:32 pm
please do, because the more people we go to the people that we can go to the government with and say, look, not have this policy, not only do we have this policy, we've thousands we've got tens of thousands of people here backing it, people here as well backing it, that ideal. that would be absolutely ideal. so very much, so thank you very much, everybody. sign that everybody. please do sign that petition . but yes. look, petition. but yes. okay, look, look , loads more still to come look, loads more still to come your between now 5:00. your way between now and 5:00. we will discuss whether trans women should be allowed to give birth. that was after a woman was given womb by her older was given a womb by her older sister in the uk's first transplant. but right now, it is the latest headlines . good afternoon. >> it's coming up to 433. >> it's coming up to 433. >> i'm rhiannon jones in the newsroom . newsroom. >> former natwest chief executive dame alison rose is set to receive a £24 million pay set to receive a £24 million pay package just a month after quitting. dame alison resigned following the row over the closure of nigel farage's bank account. investigations into her actions are still ongoing after she admitted to discussing personal banking details with a

4:36 pm
success. well, the successful operation now paves the way for women in this country born without a functioning womb , to without a functioning womb, to carry babies of their own . one carry babies of their own. one of the surgeons who carried out the operation says that womb transplants in transgender women in the uk are likely to be many years off. however i think this is a serious concern. it's great for the again, for the actual practical purpose of this of at real women who have issues with their wombs, etcetera , and need their wombs, etcetera, and need this kind of operation . and it this kind of operation. and it opens up, frankly, a world of possibilities for them. and i think it is a great breakthrough in modern medicine. and i don't want detract from that, but want to detract from that, but i can see this being used and arguably abused , i suspect. and arguably abused, i suspect. and it raises the question of if medicine and science allows us now to put a womb into somebody like me, say, should we do that? if i wanted to have a baby of my own? joining me now to discuss
4:37 pm
this is debbie hazen, who is a transgender teacher and a journalist. debbie, thank you very , very much. where are you very, very much. where are you on this then? just because science or medicine might allow to us do something, do you think we should ? we should? >> md well, just because we can do something or potentially can do something or potentially can do something or potentially can do something doesn't mean that we do it all. no. we should do it at all. no. patrick and in this case, i don't think this something don't think this is something that be that we should even be countenancing . we've had a countenancing. we've had a breakthrough here where a woman can have a womb transplanted from a very close genetic match. clearly an and the surgeons have made that work. clearly an and the surgeons have made that work . but to make the made that work. but to make the leap to a implanting a womb inside a biological male is it's a huge leap. and it would be totally wrong because let's let's face it, the person at the centre of this is the baby being born. this is not about validating the validating an adult's identity . this is about adult's identity. this is about babies and we should remember that. babies and we should remember that . we should remember that .
4:38 pm
that. we should remember that. >> so do you think because in my headi >> so do you think because in my head i was thinking of saying something along the lines of, well, it would be unnatural , well, it would be unnatural, wouldn't it, for a man to have a womb put in them and then to give birth. i mean, it literally would be unnatural, but it almost sounds a bit bigoted saying that, doesn't you saying that, doesn't it? you know, it's not know, it's unnatural. it's not right. i mean, is it unnatural to. well it's it is, yes. >> there's a natural way in which which reproduction is carried out . and the babies are carried out. and the babies are carried out. and the babies are carried inside the female of the species. this is natural . now, species. this is natural. now, when i was growing up, i would read science fiction books about babies being incubated in in external incubators and all such things as that. so people have been thinking about these ideas for time, but what's for a long time, but what's what's natural and what and what is tried and tested is what works and why should we be expending resources and time and effort on experimental treatment that we have no idea if it works
4:39 pm
or not, with no idea of the dangers. it's simply possibly to validate somebody's identity. >> just follow up a bit more on that then really, because i think that would be the other side of it, wouldn't it? which is, it i can understand that is, is it i can understand that if somebody genuinely does feel as though they've been born into the body and they can't the wrong body and they can't naturally carry a baby and give birth to that baby , that they birth to that baby, that they they might feel as though they've got a raw deal there. but do you think the actual process of then enabling that individual to go through a variety of different physical changes which may or may not at some point in the future include implanting a womb in them and allowing them to give birth? do you think that's more about the vanhy you think that's more about the vanity and validation of that individual as opposed to. yeah, i mean, actually, whether or not it should happen ? it should happen? >> well, it's one thing to allow adults to make changes to their body so that they can then feel more comfortable with their bodies. that's there's an
4:40 pm
argument for that. what there isn't an argument for is making changes, which necessarily is there to affect somebody else , there to affect somebody else, which is the baby, which is there to be born. that's what i think is wrong. and that's where where think goes far where i think this goes too far . oh, okay. >> all right. you would >> all right. so you would obviously dead against obviously be be dead against that, i suppose. really? i mean, do that is going do you think that this is going to end up emboldening people going forward? because i think a wider concern for me is the gender i'll push to arguably erase women . okay. so we've seen erase women. okay. so we've seen this argument put forward when it comes to women's sport rights, and we've seen it when it comes to women's spaces and now i suppose there could be a case for saying, well , what case for saying, well, what would be the point of women if a man could have a womb and give birth ? birth? >> well, quite . if men can do >> well, quite. if men can do everything, why women need it. we're in endangered now, patrick, of going down the line of two blokes talking about women's issues again, which i'm hesitant to go much further on
4:41 pm
that. but really i think there is there is a very clear line that's being crossed here that another human being is being is being affected, which is the baby which is potentially being born. that i think is the issue. >> yeah, i think the reason why i'm keen to get your views on this, as i always am, debbie as well, because a well, is because as a transgender teacher and indeed a journalist as well, i'm very interested to get your take on topics such as this, because i don't think you have the not to pigeonhole people. of course , pigeonhole people. of course, but i do think you tend to have the usual attitude and outlook on it, which is one of the reasons don't mind talking reasons why i don't mind talking to you about women's issues really. example , because i really. for example, because i think you put it so well and there is hope for people out there is hope for people out there who think that actually, there is hope for people out therknow, think that actually, there is hope for people out therknow, not k that actually, there is hope for people out therknow, not every actually, there is hope for people out therknow, not every bodyally, there is hope for people out therknow, not every body out you know, not every body out there is dead set on like erasing women or is completely blind to the idea that there might be some concern from the female community, etcetera, over an ideological push towards, i would argue , you know, gender
4:42 pm
would argue, you know, gender identities issues. but debbie, thank you very, very much . it's thank you very, very much. it's always a pleasure to have you on. very, very grateful for on. i'm very, very grateful for your debbie hayton. your time. it's debbie hayton. there a transgender teacher there is a transgender teacher and right. and journalist out. right. okay. what got next for you? what have i got next for you? well, there's another setback for groups opposed to for campaign groups opposed to sadiq khan's ulez expansion . sadiq khan's ulez expansion. lawyers say that a bid to overturn the plan would fail in the courts. now, ulez kicks off in greater london properly on tuesday . it will be coming . yes, tuesday. it will be coming. yes, i know. you know what i'm going to say next to a town and city near you. but i'm sick and tired of ulez. i'm sure you are as well. i have decided to shamelessly tell you the ways that you can dodge it. so stay tuned to find out. let's smash the system. patrick christys gb news, britain's news .

sunday mornings from 930 on gb news is . 5:00. news is. 5:00. >> i'll have the latest on the channel migrant crisis. the number of small boats arrivals this year passes at 19,000 and of course we do have a gb news exclusive for you as well . find exclusive for you as well. find out why there are more problems at the essex air base. there's meant to be housing 1700 migrants. but now to the latest in the battle to stop sadiq khan extending the controversial ulez scheme. there's another setback for campaigners hoping to block the mayor of london's plans. now, khan says the decision
4:47 pm
now, khan says that the decision to it across all london to expand it across all london boroughs next tuesday will reduce pollution, affecting . reduce pollution, affecting. 5 million people. it has come in for heavy criticism from campaigners , not least because campaigners, not least because they are saying that the science behind that has been manipulated and . they're also and possibly dodgy. they're also saying was forced saying that it was forced through without anybody's consent, reported that consent, but it's reported that any attempt the government to any attempt by the government to overturn the expansion would fail in the courts. so the government is deciding not to take it to court. there is a kind says that if kind of law that says that if the government is not implementing a policy in the greater london authority wants to implement policy , the to implement that policy, the government back on that government can push back on that . the government decided . but the government has decided not that. so drivers not to do that. so drivers of vehicles that can't conform to the rules will have to pay the ulez rules will have to pay £12, £0.50 a day if they enter the zone. joining me now is ed gemmell, who is the leader of the climate party. ed, thank you very , very much. will you be very, very much. will you be popping very, very much. will you be popping champagne on on tuesday as millions of people have to pay as millions of people have to pay more just to drive ? pay more just to drive? >> no, i don't think so ,
4:48 pm
patrick. >> but nice to see you, too. >> no, i think what's going to be happening is we're going to be happening is we're going to be all talking about the fact that this could have been done in way achieve in a better way to achieve exactly ends. everybody exactly the same ends. everybody wants cleaner air. everybody, or at least the majority of the country are favour of going country are in favour of going towards decarbonisation. >> done. >> it's about how it's done. >> it's about how it's done. >> certainly seeing >> and we're certainly seeing all of complaints because all of these complaints because it hasn't done a way it hasn't been done in a way that londoners think is right for . it's being done in for them. it's being done in a way which seems to be suiting sadiq khan in the way he's doing it. >> and the aims are right. >> and the aims are right. >> the implementation is wrong, and he could still be rowing back, let's say , on one of the back, let's say, on one of the issues. >> and that's the fact that it's this £12, 50 level. if it was coming in over a period of five years, maybe , and if in fact, we years, maybe, and if in fact, we were seeing on tuesday next week that it was coming in at £2.50 and then gradually scaled up over a period of five years, i think we'd see a lot less resistance to it than we're seeing today. if the science behind this was so clear, why
4:49 pm
would sidique khan have had to have helped to pay imperial college to come up with scientific data to back him up and then push back on them when that scientific data didn't back them up ? them up? >> yeah, that's it sounds very strange that they should be pushing back on it. i have to say, i think that the you don't even need , to some extent, a lot even need, to some extent, a lot of scientific data to see if you have less pollution , you've got have less pollution, you've got cleaner air. >> so i think the principles are pretty obvious . and the majority pretty obvious. and the majority of scientific data is of the scientific data is suggesting that if you do take cars off the road or get less polluting cars on the road, you get pollution and you get get less pollution and you get greater quality . greater air quality. >> so to some extent it's obvious why anybody would push back on the scientists. >> i particularly don't think they ever should. >> i think i think it wasn't one of the problems was that the report that they yeah, report that they paid for. yeah, but wasn't wasn't the problem really that report that they really that the report that they paid showed actually paid for showed that actually the been the impact might have been minimal ? oh, the impact might have been minimal? oh, no. mean , you
4:50 pm
minimal? oh, no. i mean, you know, i'm reading the same news as you. >> so. yes there is a report that that of thing. it has it certainly sounds >> it has it certainly sounds from the newspaper reports that there's been a push back on it. i mean, wouldn't know that from my personal of view, my own personal point of view, i think are other think there are many other reports are actually reports that are actually showing that reducing cars on the road or making sure they're less polluting is better air less polluting is better for air quality. that's pretty obvious . quality. that's pretty obvious. >> what about if people go skint because of it? because then they might have to do things like eat junk food, then they might be plunged into poverty. then they might not be able to get to work and might lose their job and they might lose their job and they might lose their job and then they die younger anyway, well, anyway, don't they? yeah well, i wouldn't exactly phrase it that way, but i mean, yes, way, patrick, but i mean, yes, it's absolutely it's you're absolutely right that being done that this should be being done in that actually works for in a way that actually works for people . in a way that actually works for peoi le . not only bring it in, >> i mean, not only bring it in, let's so let's say over five years, so get principle of it in, get the principle of it in, because what we're into doing here cleaner air, here is getting cleaner air, reducing pollution. that's the aim. shouldn't be about aim. it shouldn't be about trying to get extra money into the coffers in london, although
4:51 pm
there is, of course, letters that have come from the transport secretary in the past requiring london's take measures to raise extra measures , extra to raise extra measures, extra money for transport for london and ulez was one of the recommendations that was in it. but when you're doing that, what you could also be doing is you could taking certainly for could be taking certainly for the few years when it's the first few years when it's being , all of being introduced, all of the revenue that's generated . revenue that's being generated. and so that's been estimated and so and that's been estimated at 100 and 300 million. at between 100 and 300 million. and all of that money could be being reapplied look after being reapplied to look after those vulnerable and who being reapplied to look after thogoing vulnerable and who being reapplied to look after thogoing to vulnerable and who being reapplied to look after thogoing to be ulnerable and who being reapplied to look after thogoing to be mostable and who being reapplied to look after thogoing to be most affected who being reapplied to look after thogoing to be most affected .iho are going to be most affected. now, been now, the measures have been expanded , so have increased expanded, so they have increased the scheme . they have. the scrappage scheme. they have. >> can just push >> yeah, but can i just push back scrappage scheme? back on that scrappage scheme? because yeah, the issue with the scrappage scheme is that scrappage scheme for me is that they that 9 in are they say that 9 in 10 cars are compliant . they say that 9 in 10 cars are compliant. i'm yet to they say that 9 in 10 cars are compliant . i'm yet to see compliant. i'm yet to see definitive data on that and i would get if i scrapped my car , would get if i scrapped my car, which i would have to because i'd have a diesel in london like an idiot that is now so old that sadiq khan wants to ruin me .
4:52 pm
an idiot that is now so old that sadiq khan wants to ruin me. i would. that scrappage scheme would. that scrappage scheme would get less than a third of the value of my actual car. would get less than a third of the value of my actual can so i now have to sell that car outside london or just lose outside london orjust lose a load of money on it, which . and load of money on it, which. and vans. it's even more isn't it? so this scrappage scheme is actually not any benefit to anyone, is it ? anyone, is it? >> well, obviously it's better than nothing. look, i'm not labour and i'm not sadiq khan's ally or anything else, so i'm not to propose and not trying to propose that and say been done say that everything's been done right. if you right. it hasn't. i think if you took of the money that was took all of the money that was coming in on this scheme and appued coming in on this scheme and applied support applied it all to support people, then you would see your £2,000 that you'd get paid for your car going up. and also your car going up. and i also think, though , coming back think, though, coming back to the introduced the point of if it's introduced over a period of time , the value over a period of time, the value of your car, if you were selling it wouldn't have dropped so quickly fact, the value quickly. and in fact, the value of vehicles, you of second hand vehicles, you might replace wouldn't might use to replace it wouldn't have quickly . have gone up so quickly. >> fair enough. thank you very much. i do appreciate that. it's ed gamble there, leader ed gamble there, who's leader of the now. the climate party right now. there to there are some exemptions to playing the ulez charge. i
4:53 pm
promise you this. promise i will give you this. i'm giving it to you now. but you to be prepared get you need to be prepared to get creative. you dodge creative. this is how you dodge ulez. first way to not ulez. okay. the first way to not pay ulez. okay. the first way to not pay is to get yourself pay ulez is to get yourself a tractor. tfl says that specialist agricultural vehicles are exempt from the charge . you are exempt from the charge. you are exempt from the charge. you are guaranteed an easy ride within the many 20 mile an hour zones in london as the top speed of most tractors is just 23 miles an hour. be prepared to say no thank you to ulez if you get yourself a tank, one was recently spotted in soho and the armoured vehicles are exempt from charges and finally, you could get yourself a classic car investing in a historic vehicle can mean full exemption from ulez charges. although this 1982 mercedes would set you back 28 grand. so no slight problem, right . okay. anyway, some other right. okay. anyway, some other ways to dodge. ulez coming your ways to dodge. ulez coming your way shortly, but gb news can reveal that more than 19,000 channel arrived channel migrants have arrived this . very i've this year. very shortly, i've got exclusive for you on more

5:08 pm
it's the largest it's also the fifth largest economy and has an annual gdp of around $3.75 trillion. why are we paying to help poverty stricken indians when their own government can't be bothered? and while we're at it, we gave china £48 million in 2022, down from the cool £82 million. the year before. china is the second largest economy in the world, and the moon appears to be a recurring theme here because china , which also does have china, which also does have a space programme , was looking at space programme, was looking at creating a giant fake moon to hover over crops at night, brightening the sky and boosting crop production . if you're doing crop production. if you're doing stuff like that , you don't need stuff like that, you don't need foreign aid . and that's before foreign aid. and that's before we talk about what they did to the world in relation to covid, we've given foreign aid to syria, although we had to rein that in when it turned out that some of that was going directly to terrorists . afghanistan now to terrorists. afghanistan now under total control of the taliban, reportedly got £187 million in foreign aid a couple of years ago , another £128
5:09 pm
of years ago, another £128 million went to pakistan alone. and there are serious concerns that that found its way into the hand of terror cells over there, which would not be a massive shock, would it, considering actual osama bin laden managed to live for years as just next door to pakistan's main military base there have been more surreal examples of foreign aid wastage several million pounds of our money went to supporting the ethiopian spice girls yegna there are even reports suggesting that we once partied with £25 million for kenyan rainmaking to predict the weather by watching ants. £2.5 million to help cut red tape in serbia . and £11.3 million to serbia. and £11.3 million to promote solar and green energy in nigeria while simultaneously giving them 19.5 million to promote their oil industry . see, promote their oil industry. see, our overall foreign aid budget will be around 11 or £12 billion. look just think about where all of that money could be
5:10 pm
spent. here in britain, drivers from tuesday face paying an additional ulez charge. our economic has stagnated . economic growth has stagnated. we don't have enough houses, prisons, , nurses, prisons, doctors, nurses, teachers, the facilities for teachers, all the facilities for any those professions. this any of those professions. this is a slap in the face for taxpayer was the world is laughing at britain over this and the british government is laughing at . us laughing at. us gbviews@gbnews.com. if someone wants to put the case for foreign aid then please do get in touch. obviously you could say, couldn't you, that it helps boost us on the world stage and it's morally the right thing to do. but clearly are do. but clearly there are numerous views numerous different views on this. on to a gb news this. now on to a gb news exclusive and this one is on the small boats crisis. a controversial migrant accommodation centre in essex is still issues around fire still facing issues around fire safety and the connection of other utilities. a home office assessment seen exclusively by gb news has shown a number of unresolved problems that have to
5:11 pm
be addressed before the former raf wethersfield site can be fully functional. mark wise, our home security editor , has the latest. >> well , in terms of this basis, >> well, in terms of this basis, initial or eventually expected to house 1700 young single male asylum seekers , what we were asylum seekers, what we were told last week was that 80 people were on the site that at latest information that we have is that 90 have now arrived on the site. but given that the internal estimates that the they believe will be in place in terms of the available 80, is that by the end of this month, the bed space will be there to house up to 500 people. will we're only just over a week away from from the end of august. and no sign as far as we can see that anywhere near that number are there is supposed to be 700 bed spaces available by the end
5:12 pm
of october . and then that 15 to of october. and then that 15 to 1700 by the end of december . it 1700 by the end of december. it certainly seems from what we're observing from the outside that the pace has slowed. we know that initially, of course, there was a halt in those going to the base because of an outbreak of a number of diseases , including number of diseases, including scabies and tubercular ptosis. what this internal document says is that those cases have been dean is that those cases have been dealt with and that the proper procedure measures have been followed. there are no other issues with regard to that. but it does say with regard to the sort of construction of buildings on the site or at least the redevelopment of buildings of the site. there are still issues in terms of what are connected city fire safety risk assessments that still have to be provided as they move forward with this project. and thatis forward with this project. and that is obviously a matter of some concern in.
5:13 pm
>> yeah, and clearly as we approach more red days in the channel approach more red days in the channel, the possibility for a record month and these people are going to have to be put somewhere there and obviously this was one of the places where we were expecting to put people well, given that, of well, especially given that, of course the other option, the bibby stockholm bar in portland for the time being is not available anymore to asylum seekers. >> they were pulled out in recent days because of that legionella bacteria that was found in the water supply there . so that is being dealt with as we speak. but i'm told it could still be a matter of weeks before asylum seekers return to the bibby stockholm. so you're right , as weather conditions right, as weather conditions improve in the channel and we get now north of 19,000 people coming across the channel this yean coming across the channel this year, they have to be housed and the government has as an imperative of the move away from
5:14 pm
costly hotels and into what they see is more basic accommodation . an enlarger adapted spaces like old military bases or indeed of raf scampton an which was the former home of the dambusters, wasn't it? >> that's the one at raf wethersfield and, and the barge , both wethersfield and the barge as it stands are unfit for use in the way that they originally planned. >> well , all i originally planned. >> well, all i wouldn't say unfit for use as far as wethersfield is concerned , but wethersfield is concerned, but they are still working on ensuring that it's up to spec for those that come. and there are issues that they still have to deal with in certain areas of the site. those who are obviously housed there, the 90, we believe at the moment are housed safely on on site. and this hasn't disbanding it. they have to deal with these other
5:15 pm
issues right . issues right. >> okay. so if we want the amount of people that are supposed to be there, then this is all going to have to get sorted. >> and they do have to deal with that. and as far as scampton is concerned issues around concerned and issues around and securing contractors do securing the contractors to do all of the redevelopment work, there , i've slowed the pace of there, i've slowed the pace of there, i've slowed the pace of the first arrivals there. it's going to be october at the earliest before any asylum seekers arrive in scampton as well . so all of these plans does well. so all of these plans does appear to be going slower than initially envisaged from what we can see. >> okay, mark, thank you very, very much. mark wight there gb news security editor with news home security editor with that wethersfield exclusive. let's now to somewhere near let's go now to somewhere near wethersfield, joining me is alan mckenzie, who's the chair the mckenzie, who's the chair of the fields association . how do you fields association. how do you react to that then, alan? really? because i mean, it does look a lot like your area has been turned on its head completely for very little practical gain . practical gain. >> yeah , i've been on here a few >> yeah, i've been on here a few times now.
5:16 pm
>> patrick, and i think i've mentioned previously the problems that the home office were going to find on that airbase . we've mentioned them ad airbase. we've mentioned them ad nauseum the home office nauseum to the home office themselves. um they seem to have ignored them and ploughed on ahead. um i mean, it's not just, not just the fire safety and the, the water. they've had problems with the internet, the electricity supply isn't that great up there. the sewage is going to stop them from reaching 1700. tell you that 1700. i can tell you that they're nowhere near going to get reached. 1700 without they're nowhere near going to get rea you know , we've warned >> and, you know, we've warned them about the road infrastructure. >> they've turn delivery >> they've had to turn delivery trucks back from from going to the site. >> um, the general infrastructure just can't support it. >> and they haven't addressed the contamination issues which are on the site as well. >> i mean , the asylum seekers >> i mean, the asylum seekers can come and go as they please.
5:17 pm
>> to all intents and purposes. and on some of that site they've got agent orange got bowels of agent orange buned got bowels of agent orange buried in a wood there and you just don't want anybody to be going anywhere near that. >> okay? i mean, look, what else do you want to see the site used for, though? i just want for, though? i mean, i just want to side up, to put this side of it up, i suppose, you know what? if they've to go somewhere, they've got to go somewhere, why not? not there? you know, not? why not there? you know, would just we plunk would you just rather we plunk them somewhere like slough ? them all somewhere like slough? >> no , i think the home office >> no, i think the home office has just made a big mistake. >> they've decided to try and house people in these very large centres which are going to become a bubble. and burst eventually . um, what they should eventually. um, what they should be doing is using the dispersal system which they have at the moment. these asylum seekers go through a process in dover to begin with to to, weed out the ones who obviously shouldn't be ones who obviously shouldn't be on site for one reason or another . and then they're another. and then they're spending nine months on these sites waiting just to be processed . well, for heaven's
5:18 pm
processed. well, for heaven's sakes, after that, they're dispersed throughout the country to various local authorities, which which helps to mitigate some of the problems with housing. it doesn't it doesn't solve it by any means whatsoever, but it spreads it a bit and allow them to work. and if them to work, if you allow them to work, what do become? they become tax do they become? they become tax payers they for. payers. they can pay for. >> can can i just on that, >> can can i just ask on that, alan? can i ask on that? alan how marry up the idea how do you marry up the idea that it there are safety concerns in the local area with having a load of young men from goodness knows where plonked there you also being okay there and you also being okay with them working . with them working. >> well there is no work in this area. >> you have to be able to take people to areas where there is work which is closer to urban developments . developments. >> and you know that that solves a lot of problems as well. >> so it's the economy, basil. and i am, you know, as you know, i am on your side of this, but that solves the problem for you, which is you don't have
5:19 pm
which is that you don't have a load of unaccompanied fighting age area, age males working in your area, but solve but it does not solve the problem somebody does it? >> no , but it minimises the >> no, but it minimises the problem to the extent that you can. it's still a problem , there can. it's still a problem, there is no doubt about it. and there isn't any easy solution to this problem . we recognise that and problem. we recognise that and weathersfield would be willing to out the home office if to help out the home office if they were going to up they were going to put up a sensible number of people on that base and they're going to have a problem getting to the numbers they want. they're numbers that they want. they're already behind schedule . already months behind schedule. they're expecting put 1700 they're expecting to put 1700 people there by the autumn. people on there by the autumn. well well, they're not going to do that. they're saying now by the end of the year. well that'd be beyond that, because they won't reach 1700. but you know, allowing people to work in urban commuter conurbations is going to help the economy and help the home office . home office. >> it's yeah, it's controversial view. it's a controversial view, alan. but there we go. alan thank you. wait, you know what? we live in controversial times. alan we live in controversial

5:25 pm
them and become friends again? is it even possible ? but we is it even possible? but we return now to certainly more serious matters , which is my serious matters, which is my campaign to make killers feel real. justice is in the week that lucy letby couldn't be bothered to turn up to hear her impact of the heinous crimes caused on the families of the victims . caused on the families of the victims. i've caused on the families of the victims . i've been speaking to victims. i've been speaking to farinaz, a woman who knows exactly how that feels. her niece, zahra aleena, was is brutally murdered by jordan mcsweeney . and in the last hour mcsweeney. and in the last hour , you'd have heard how devastating it was for her family when he , like letby, family when he, like letby, stayed away from his sentencing, refused to watch cctv of his crime, refused to hear the victim impact statements , victim impact statements, refused to hear his sentence. now this is the second part of the interview and we are talking about measures that could be used now as a policy to put to the government , but to used now as a policy to put to the government, but to make sure that killers face real justice. where a whole life tariff is on
5:26 pm
very much on the table . i wonder very much on the table. i wonder whether or not it there could be something where you say if you don't attend the sentencing or the victim impact statement , the victim impact statement, that you lose certain privileges whilst you're in prison. so whether that's phone calls or access to a tuckshop or a tv in your cell or something like that, also you lose the that, also maybe you lose the right to appeal. i wonder whether or not those couple of things you would thinking of things you would be thinking of adding there. things you would be thinking of addiitotally ere. things you would be thinking of addiitotally support that. >> i totally support that. i have thought about the privileges i don't know a lot about the privilege that prisoners have , but i have prisoners have, but i have thought , you know, use the thought, you know, use the bargaining power that we have . bargaining power that we have. and i think it's got to be through persuasion . um, the through persuasion. um, the trend is almost mocking justice. it's mocking the system and it's laughing at it. it's spitting in the face of, of , of the system the face of, of, of the system and of the victims. it's like
5:27 pm
here are killed. your babies killed. you killed your child . killed. you killed your child. and i'm not to , going you know, and i'm not to, going you know, face justice. so it's i think that has to stop. i think also in the case of letby, what could have happened and it could have happened yesterday , on monday, happened yesterday, on monday, what could have happened is that the case could have been streamed into the cell . i the case could have been streamed into the cell. i think they should be made to listen to they should be made to listen to the proceedings as we have to make we have to make offenders feel uncomfortable. that's what the whole point of sentencing is . it's that moment where you're standing in front of a judge who's on a high chair and you're standing there and you're being told exactly what you've done. and it's a moment of discomfort andifs and it's a moment of discomfort and it's a moment of shaming and making the person feel guilty. and even if they don't go there , it's still there's still a possibility that there might . possibility that there might. >> i just want to drill down a bit onto that idea of them
5:28 pm
causing a scene in the courtroom. okay there are also potentially practical ways of stopping that , which could be to stopping that, which could be to have some kind of obviously booth in there that maybe was soundproof , for example. do you soundproof, for example. do you think that might work? >> yeah, i think so . think that might work? >> yeah, i think so. i think obviously, you know, we've got to keep this affordable. we don't want to put everything into this. what we want to be putting more energy into is stopping the murders in the first place, don't we? so this is very, very important, first place, don't we? so this is very, very important , this is very, very important, this issue, because i do think patrick actually making offenders face their offence. so sends a message to criminals out there and they think that there's no consequences to their actions if they spent their life in prison , like the man who in prison, like the man who murdered zara. it actually there was no to change his life. he just moved from one cell to another. that's all he did. he
5:29 pm
didn't have that moment of shame. he didn't have it. he didn't have that moment. he said he didn't want to face that cctv . he should have been made to. i still want that . still want that. >> just on on on that point . >> just on on on that point. farage. i would like you to just address rishi sunak keir starmer to every single member of the house of commons. really who , as house of commons. really who, as far as we're aware , at some far as we're aware, at some point in november , are going to point in november, are going to have plans like what you've just put in place here or wants to put in place here or wants to put in place here, put to them in the house of commons to debate on that and possibly we have the option to pass those quite quickly make this happen . quite quickly make this happen. >> and redress the balance in the courtroom and keep it simple. use the art of persuasion. use use extended tariff, use taking away privileges. keep it simple and

5:37 pm
meet him when he came over to europe invictus games europe for the invictus games next month. william next month. but william apparently still feels utterly betrayed by his brother and does not want to see him. i'm joined now by royal commentator judith da silva. judyta. thank you very, very much forjoining me. very, very much for joining me. this is a slightly bizarre story which originally appeared in. okay. magazine which tends to be the preserve of obviously showbiz and gossip and tittle tattle stuff, which is, tattle and stuff, which is, i think largely the pond that harry meghan fish in these harry and meghan fish in these days. immediately shut days. it was immediately shut down friend of william who down by a friend of william who may well have been william saying this absolutely isn't going to happen. so no chance of reconciliation. do you think? >> i think it's understandable that that's definitely not on the cards for the time being , the cards for the time being, because in the short term, what what you have to understand is king charles is shaping the impression on the entire world has of him as the successor to arguably the most universally respected monarch that britain has had in modern times, which was his mother.
5:38 pm
has had in modern times, which was his mother . and so was his mother. and so everything it's almost like the american presidents in the first 100 days, they say, you make the stamp of your administration . stamp of your administration. you can't make a first impression twice . so king impression twice. so king charles iii is very reticent of the fact that what he has to do now is gain respect and recognition and for people to be able to form a narrative around just him as king. so the idea that he would change his plans and suspend a formal visit to france to fit in a meeting for reconciliation with his son, that has proven problematic, would just is preposterous because at the end of the day, you are the king of britain and you are the king of britain and you can't have the narrative attached to you as a father who cannot get his house in order. thatis cannot get his house in order. that is the last thing particular the firm would want because the firm's most important business is the preservation of the crown, which is far more important than he or she who wears because it's she who wears it because it's seen as a responsibility, not property . so that whole story, property. so that whole story, i'm not surprised they debunked it .
5:39 pm
it very quickly. >> it has set tongues wagging a little bit because again, it's this well, did this idea of, well, where did this idea of, well, where did this really come from? and this all really come from? and you magazine you see it in okay magazine and you see it in okay magazine and you of people that you see the kind of people that might in. okay, might be putting it in. okay, magazine it follows up on magazine. and it follows up on harry and meghan appearing to do more separately. and there could be of different reasons be a load of different reasons for course, many of for that. of course, many of which are very, very understandable. but wonder how understandable. but i wonder how quickly harry would be accepted back into the fold if he was on his own. and maybe he said, sorry , this is this is the sorry, this is this is the interesting that a lot of people don't want to accept because feelings are so raw about harry. >> i always reiterate this fundamentally is a family and they are human and one thing you can always say about that unit is that there is love very deep love between them. harry and william have a very unique experience that nobody else in the has , which is the the world has, which is the source of a lot of heartbreak . source of a lot of heartbreak. because no one because in this world, no one knows what it's like to be william other than harry, and vice versa . so there is great vice versa. so there is great
5:40 pm
loss. so the desire for reconciliation is there , but the reconciliation is there, but the issue why it needs time . time issue is why it needs time. time issue is why it needs time. time is william's feeling because between the documentary and netflix, between the books, there , what harry did was attack there, what harry did was attack william as a man. there, what harry did was attack william as a man . you went out william as a man. you went out his fatherhood with his children. you went out to his wife. you went out to his integrity as your brother. you went after his formidability as a prince. you've pretty much injured a man in the most elemental way . but because you elemental way. but because you know the operation of the firm, he has no avenue for retaliation. because don't complain . don't explain. so what complain. don't explain. so what william is doing is nursing a lot of deep seated hurt without any avenue for any solace or any resolve that is fuelling the pain. but as i've said when i spoke with esther and phil, what it will take is intervention from an outside party. and i say this because it's coming from a point of women have an ability to make men they have a connection with do things they don't want to do because they're willing to it because they're willing to do it because they're doing come
5:41 pm
doing it for you. if kate come intervene, i believe she's the secret weapon to forcing william to the table because right now he will not do it based on feeling . but she's the one feeling. but she's the one secret weapon that could bring him to a table with harry. harry, to open a conversation . harry, to open a conversation. but kate has been injured as well . so until but kate has been injured as well. so until is found well. so until resolve is found with her, i doubt it will happen anytime. i think that's the thing see, kate. thing i don't see, kate. >> i the way you put that, >> i love the way you put that, by way, because think by the way, because i think you're on. i you're absolutely spot on. but i think see kate think that i don't see kate doing that. meghan's still in doing that. if meghan's still in the picture because i think there's lot issues play there's a lot of issues at play there, and think that's a big there, and i think that's a big part . so maybe maybe kate part of it. so maybe maybe kate could come around to the idea if it was harry on his own . it was harry on his own. >> i think so. which is why distance is important. and if they're clever about how they operate being two separate entities can find a resolve with just harry and in time what they should do is ironically follow the template of to camilla time heals all wounds. though she is
5:42 pm
not popular, but people accept her. now that could happen with meghan ten, 15 years down the line and actually with camilla as well. >> something that i've seen since the queen's death really is that i think a lot of people appreciate the job that she does for charles. and with it, the fact that the monarchy itself therefore becomes more likeable. i think there is a slight perception that maybe if charles was left entirely to his own devices, there may be the odd defect character there that defect of character there that would surface would come to the surface that might harder for the might make it harder for the monarchists royalists to monarchists and royalists to continue to justify the monarchy, etcetera . whereas i monarchy, etcetera. whereas i think camilla keeps him check think camilla keeps him in check a people now a little bit and people now recognise that a recognise that that is a very valuable for job recognise that that is a very valuable forjob preserving recognise that that is a very valuable for job preserving the institution that is the monarchy. but yes, look, thank you very much, judy. case you very much, judy. in case you couldn't tell, i could have happily spent the rest of the show talking you it. show talking to you about it. but we'll have to do it another time. da silva, the royal time. judy da silva, the royal commentator, now. now, india has made . i i've done made history today. i i've done a couple of monologues on india
5:43 pm
and whether or not we should now, given that we've all witnessed today, them firing something at the far side of the moon and landing it there, whether we should be getting back of back every single penny of foreign that we spent and foreign aid that we spent and whether or not we should be spending any more. i went on my twitter in the last advert break and that indian and it turns out that indian twitter got a hold of twitter has really got a hold of my monologue . i think my monologue. and i don't think i'm going to be going to india anytime soon. but a country that got £2.3 billion in foreign aid between 2016 and 2021, it's a space superpower. i don't think it's right. michelle dewberry will join me. and we set the world or at least the bit of it thatis world or at least the bit of it that is india to write it in a matter of moments. patrick christys

on gb news, the people's. channel >> okay . all right. well, we end >> okay. all right. well, we end the programme where we began asking why on earth are we giving money to a country who can do this jihad above my green . yeah so well done, india. you've landed on the moon. but if you can do that, then why not the uk taxpayers giving you their cash? get a load of this. the uk gave india £2.3 billion between 2016 and 2021, and we're set to give india an additional £57 million next year. india might be a space superpower, but the un says it's got 229 million
5:48 pm
people living in poverty and india is the fifth largest economy in the world, with a gdp of almost £3 trillion. michelle dewberry joins me now off of dewbs & co you'll know we're off dewbs& co you'll know we're off the telly and do you not think that they're taking the absolute i >> -- >> of course. but most sane minded people would think that. patrick and the problem with the foreign aid budget. of the foreign aid budget. one of the things found things that i've always found beyond a spend beyond ridiculousness is a spend target enshrined in law. so you have to spend this money. no ifs, no buts, no maybes. so then what happens is when you start reaching the budget end , so year reaching the budget end, so year end people then end or whatever, people then start going, oh my god, we've got of this cash, are got all of this cash, what are we with it? so you we going to do with it? so you get all of this ridiculous usage usage of money here, usage of money floated here, there but anyone there and everywhere. but anyone that's spent any time in that's been spent any time in india will know that the country there is such a i mean, we talk about wealth inequality in this country, but when you go to india so india for example, it is so apparent and so obvious because the wealthy and not even the wealthy , you've got your expat
5:49 pm
wealthy, you've got your expat community, those people, you've got your chefs, your drivers , got your chefs, your drivers, your mansions. there is so much wealth centred around there. and then you're driving along and you're traffic lights. you're at the traffic lights. you've got tiny little children hammering your your hammering at your windows, your doors like asking for money. you've got families sleeping on the floor. and i look at the indian government and think, indian government and i think, how let own people, how can you let your own people, your live like your own citizens, live like that whilst you clearly have wealth, you clearly have wealth . and if they don't prioritise the poorest in their community, i think it's a little bit rich to be looking out into the international stage and asking your to your international allies to prioritise your poor. if you don't, i think it's absolutely bonkers. >> like seriously, what do the people living in indian slums make of the fact that their government has just paid to fire something to the far side of the moon so they can go and have a look at whether or not there's frozen water over there and see what's can't what's in it. when they can't actually real water to actually give real water to those people. and i just find it bonkers. but it's just that, bonkers. but it's not just that, is load of money is it? we give a load of money to do. we've in the
5:50 pm
to china. we do. we've in the past we've given stuff that has gone terrorists . gone directly to terrorists. >> i just people are >> i know. and i just people are very if asked i would very if you asked me, i would not have a spend target and i would look at really sit there and at right . who needs and relook at right. who needs aid? i do we aid? because i do think we should aid where it's should give aid where it's needed. i think should needed. i do think we should help if can and there'll be help if we can and there'll be loads patrick shouting help if we can and there'll be loads on patrick shouting help if we can and there'll be loads on the patrick shouting help if we can and there'll be loads on the telly trick shouting help if we can and there'll be loads on the telly already. uting at me on the telly already. i can them saying, michel, can hear them saying, oh michel, we've problems. and we've got our own problems. and yes, but we've got our own problems. and yes, are but we've got our own problems. and yes, are relative but we've got our own problems. and yes, are relative of. but we've got our own problems. and yes, are relative of. and but we've got our own problems. and yes, are relative of. and when: they are relative of. and when you look at some of these people in some of these countries, they really in straits in really are in dire straits in a way that we would find way that we would just find unfathomable . so i think we are unfathomable. so i think we are relatively wealthy, although it might like it. but if might not feel like it. but if we're a bit we're not, we should help a bit just to just say i get just to say to just say i get what you're saying. >> is argument to >> but there is an argument to say shouldn't pay the say that we shouldn't pay the price a better price for being a better country. countries country. other countries could have and didn't. have done that and they didn't. why it 7 why are we paying for it? >> i it's a little >> well, i think it's a little bit if you can afford to bit of if you can afford to help, then why wouldn't you? as long to your long as it's not to your detriment. ant but my issue is and repeating myself because and i'm repeating myself because i'm thing for fed i'm saying my thing for the fed point third time, why point for the third time, why are you enshrining spend in
5:51 pm
are you enshrining the spend in law? because that for me is where it's wrong. i don't think you've kpis . so in you've got enough kpis. so in terms are you spending terms of where are you spending your how effective is your money and how effective is that spend being, you can't just confess your money around and high five yourself and feel good . you've got to make sure that the spending . you've got to make sure that th really spending . you've got to make sure that th really effective. )ending . you've got to make sure that th really effective. you ing is really being effective. you end up this of money end up with this load of money which , despite the that no which, despite the fact that no doubt they would this. doubt they would deny this. >> okay, no doubt this will be denied. but i think that the evidence would point otherwise you end up with a pot of money that you feel like you've got to give away. and so you end up giving million. it's not that giving 25 million. it's not that you've it's not that feel >> yeah, it's not that you feel like they've got. >> got to >> we've just got to spend it. >> we've just got to spend it. >> like you feel >> no, it's not like you feel like got to give it away. like you've got to give it away. the law you to. the law says you have to. there's no ifs. >> you end up giving £25 million to kenyan rainmakers to a load of kenyan rainmakers to a load of kenyan rainmakers to ants and encourage to look at ants and encourage the yeah silly the weather. yeah which is silly because there because as i'm saying, there is a lot of people there are a lot of in this world that of people in this world that really are in dire straits. >> are like we >> there are i mean, like we saw, know , like there was saw, you know, like there was the cable car thing yesterday in
