3:33 pm
3:34 pm
3:35 pm
3:36 pm
on tv, radio and online gb news. britain's news . on tv, radio and online gb news. britain's news. channel >> welcome back. you're with dawn neesom on gb news and on digital radio. now donald trump has become the first former president in us history to have his finger prints and mugshot taken . the image there you can taken. the image there you can see the image was released minutes after he was booked on more than a dozen charges in georgia. accused of conspiring to overturn the 2020 election result. he then, as trump would, posted the photo on formerly twitter , as well as his campaign twitter, as well as his campaign website with an appeal for donations. the man has no shame, and you've got to admire him. the republican front runner for next year's presidential election claims the charges
3:37 pm
against are politically against him are politically motivated. well he would say that, wouldn't he? but it's fascinating story. and, you know , i mean, trump is just an endlessly fascinating character. joining me to discuss that is former adviser to clinton and bush administration steve gill. steve, thank you so much for joining us today. i think you're joining us today. i think you're joining us today. i think you're joining us live from tennessee. is it? >> yes, absolutely marvellous. >> yes, absolutely marvellous. >> by the way, trump's mugshot has now reached iconic status up there with elvis. frank sinatra, martin luther king jr. his is in full colour. theirs were in black and white, but they already have this mugshot that the trump team is selling on t shirts and coffee mugs. get it? mug shot . and i can if you'll if mug shot. and i can if you'll if you'll text me your size i'll get you one of his mugshot. t shirts. well i mean, look, you know, we all know what trump's like now. >> i mean, this is what trump does, isn't he? he he he he he does, isn't he? he he he he he does think he's invincible. and the mugshot literally, as you say, he posted it straight away with never surrender. it was
3:38 pm
like almost like a spartacus moment for him, wasn't it? >> yes. and you also have the democrats posting the mugshot under, democrats posting the mugshot under , you know, with loser and under, you know, with loser and other disparaging comments about it. so both sides are going to raise money off of this. and again, trump a once in a again, trump is a once in a millennia politician. he has had things that he's done and had in his campaigns that would destroy most politicians and he always seems to come out smelling like a rose. you know, seeing his poll numbers go up. that's one of the things now, since this latest arraignment, we've seen his numbers go up and his poll numbers go up and some of primary states, of the early primary states, some early caucus states some of the early caucus states and national polls , and some of the national polls, he lead with he is extending his lead with every new indictment, arraignment or charge. >> so it's amazing. he's got like four indictments against him 96 charges, think. him now, 96 charges, i think. and his 45 points ahead of his nearest rival. i mean , nearest rival. i mean, everything it just seems to be growing the worse he behaves in inverted commas , the more inverted commas, the more popular he gets as part of it is
3:39 pm
that i think these four different indicted in four different indicted in four different locations have have detailed that the biden administration has weaponized the fbi, the department of justice . justice. >> a lot of people are now moving to support trump, not necessarily because they support him, but because they are so outraged the blatant outraged at the blatant political persecution of donald trump. when you've had people do the same things , hillary clinton the same things, hillary clinton challenged of challenged the veracity of elections. gore took it to elections. al gore took it to the supreme court, trying to challenge have challenge his loss. you have a former candidate in georgia, stacey abrams, for governor, who still denies she lost. none of them have been charged. none of them have been charged. none of them have been convicted of anything. think anything. so i think the american people seeing that american people are seeing that that what's brought that what's being brought against nothing to do against trump has nothing to do with actual justice. it has with with actual justice. it has everything to do with politics. and in the case of this latest indictment, you an elected indictment, you have an elected da community that is da in a community that is overwhelmingly anti trust. trump an elected sheriff that is decidedly anti trump , and decidedly anti trump, and they're in a district that
3:40 pm
they're in a district that they're running for re—election more than they're running to support justice. and i think the american people are seeing that and gravitating trump and they're gravitating to trump to america's justice to defend america's justice system more than they are to defend trump . system more than they are to defso, trump . system more than they are to defso, tmean, and trump's >> so, i mean, and trump's argument is, is politically motivated. i mean, and as you pointed out, steve, i mean, very few people have been treated like has. why do you think like he has. why do you think the establishment are so? is it scared of trump ? scared of trump? >> well, i think they're terrified. again, you've got the fbi , the department of justice, fbi, the department of justice, who have engaged in covering up the worst crimes of biden and president biden. hunter biden, who's, you know, been they barely charged him with a gun crime for lying on a gun purchase while his dad is screaming that we need to crack down on gun crime. i think the disparity of the biden administration using the justice department as a weapon rather than in pursuit of justice is what's motivating a lot of this. and the evidence is clear. president trump in each of these
3:41 pm
cases has strong defences. i think as it moves through the process, many of these will never go to trial. and if they do, any trial will be overturned because facts don't support because the facts don't support the prosecutions . again, you've the prosecutions. again, you've got a da in new york who has a weak case. you've got a department of justice employee pursuing trump for mar a lago documents and for an alleged insurrection that he did not charge trump with. and then you've got this da in georgia trying to prosecute donald trump for challenging the results of an election when there are plenty of documented evidence of questionable ballots letting people vote that were not legal to vote in georgia , for example, to vote in georgia, for example, just one example. typically in this state, you would have 3% of ballots be overturned because of signature verification, where somebody mails in their ballot. the signature doesn't match the signature on file . typically, 3% signature on file. typically, 3% of ballots in georgia elections get thrown out in this particular election, only 0.3 got thrown out because they really weren't doing election
3:42 pm
ballot verification . and those ballot verification. and those are the ballots that donald trump is saying should have been counted for him or thrown out against biden. that would have given him win in georgia. given him the win in georgia. challenging. is legitimate, challenging. that is legitimate, not crime. not a crime. >> steve, can you give us i mean, obviously, you know , the mean, obviously, you know, the american system , the american legal system, the american legal system, the american political system is very , very different to here. very, very different to here. can give us an idea of what can you give us an idea of what happens next? what is the time scale going forward for donald trump now ? trump now? >> well, you've got a lot of these cases where we've heard these cases where we've heard the term sometimes in us political and legal battles, a rush to judgement. you've got some of these da's that are trying to rush these cases to trial before the election so they can taint donald trump. maybe hurt him in the election, maybe try to get a conviction before election. even though before the election. even though the appeals will go on long after there's this push after for. so there's this push to and do this quickly. the to try and do this quickly. the kinds you have here, kinds of cases you have here, for let's talk about for example, let's talk about the lago documents case the mar a lago documents case where supposedly secure documents, confidential
3:43 pm
documents, confidential documents, top secret documents are at issue . just getting the are at issue. just getting the lawyers involved in that case through the top secret security process to see the evidence they want to use against donald trump. will take months and months. and then if you're looking at jury trial, you're looking at a jury trial, you're going to be having to go through the to if they can the jurors to see if they can pass clearance, see pass security clearance, to see the that will shown the evidence that will be shown to them. that's not going to happen quickly. certainly to them. that's not going to hap goingjickly. certainly to them. that's not going to hap going to (ly. certainly to them. that's not going to hap going to (ly. > steve, just one final very quick question. we're running out of time, unfortunately. could be next president could he be the next president of states ? i think at of the united states? i think at this point he is likely to . this point he is likely to. >> you've got joe biden, who i don't believe is going to be the democrats nominee. his incapacity, his his weakness . i incapacity, his his weakness. i don't think he's on the ballot by by this december would mean
3:44 pm
they're going to turn to somebody else . and whether they somebody else. and whether they can beat trump is another question. wish i'd come question. i wish i'd come up with this but heard it with this line, but i heard it the day. somebody said the other day. somebody said that we have a choice in america right between a guy facing right now between a guy facing sentences can't sentences and a guy who can't form i'd come form a sentence. i wish i'd come up that, but i think that up with that, but i think that sums it pretty well. sums it up pretty well. >> a great line and >> that is a great line and we'll leave that. we'll leave you on that. unfortunately thank unfortunately steve gill, thank you joining us you very much for joining us live this live from tennessee this afternoon. very illuminating. thank well, blimey we thank you. well, okay. blimey we move on. time for this week's political spotlight. the ultra low emission zone is being expanded to greater london next week . but what expanded to greater london next week. but what happens here will be happening you very soon, be happening to you very soon, if it's not already. and in london, it could see people coughing a day for coughing up £12.50 a day for vehicles which do not meet certain emission standards . and certain emission standards. and one is incredibly one individual who is incredibly outspoken. i think that's a polite putting it, isn't polite way of putting it, isn't it, ulez is reforms it, about ulez is reforms mayoral candidate for london and founder of fair fuel uk , howard founder of fair fuel uk, howard cox. now howard joins me now in the studio . so howard, you've the studio. so howard, you've just come hotfoot from a
3:45 pm
protest, i understand, haven't you? yeah. so what's been happening today? >> yeah, this is my eighth anti ulez protest in london and this one is actually on sadiq khan's own patch tooting. >> and so it was outside tooting broadway tube station and it was attended by 3 to 400 people. >> we had a bit of a an incredible range tower came down, but they still stood there protesting. >> and you can see by the number of people tooting their horns, going past how many people support this protesting group. going past how many people squou this protesting group. going past how many people squou haveprotesting group. going past how many people squou have .�*otesting group. going past how many people squou have . itesting group. going past how many people squou have . i mean, group. going past how many people squou have . i mean, look,». going past how many people squou have . i mean, look, there >> you have. i mean, look, there have been lots of stories over the past week about sort of like i mean , every time sadiq khan i mean, every time sadiq khan talks this , he says that talks about this, he says that 4000 year are down to 4000 deaths a year are down to the bad air in london like he's talking about. it's 1952 when 12,000 people did die in the great smog. so what what do you make of his defence? we have to have ulez because 4000 people are dying every year because how bad the air is in london. >> dawn that that particular study is a complete construct ,
3:46 pm
study is a complete construct, not a modelling construct. it's based on a model by imperial college. >> and we come on to that in a minute. >> but what they've just done recently. >> but fundamentally, it's a lie. it's not true. there's only one person who's actually died due to low or poor emissions one person who's actually died due tcars.' or poor emissions one person who's actually died due tcars. so poor emissions one person who's actually died due tcars. so we)r emissions one person who's actually died due tcars. so we understand . from cars. so we understand. >> and that was 8 9 >> and that was about 8 or 9 years ago. >> since then, believe it or >> and since then, believe it or not, emissions have actually improved. college improved. but imperial college recently published that recently published a report that to that there will no to show that there will be no demonstrable difference to the air we breathe or the quality of the if ulez is the air we breathe. if ulez is expanded. >> so . so why is that? he can't. >> so. so why is that? he can't. saying it's going to save lives. >> well, if i knew that answer, i think i'd be. for every time i've actually answered that i'd be rich man. the man is be a very rich man. the man is completely deluded he's hell completely deluded and he's hell bent and bent on a net zero journey and a green fantasy approach when he forgets what his policies are doing is destroying london's economy to the tune of something like £800 million a year. and i'm the only candidate who has actually done some economic analysis of course, analysis on that. and of course, this is a quite a big one that
3:47 pm
london is actually in the top 25% of cleanest cities in the world. and yet this man is hell bent and hitting people in the pockets and it hits low income families, small businesses. those are the people who are suffering we need do is suffering what we need to do is work together on a clean fuel technology without hitting people in the pocket. >> well, the very report you've you've mentioned from imperial college, also and college, you did also and a study that particular study study into that particular study did also conclude that it would be disastrous , financial be disastrous, financial disastrous financially for londoners and for people . now, londoners and for people. now, you know, basically within the m25, isn't it? absolutely >> it's an interesting thing. suddenly pollution is worse as you come across the m25. you go outside of it, it's gone . the outside of it, it's gone. the whole thing is a mess. it's a complete stupidity. even his own body transport for london told him a year ago that actually expanding ulez would not make any demonstrable difference to the air we breathe . the whole the air we breathe. the whole thing a complete, crass mess thing is a complete, crass mess and i've been fighting this like mad don't need ulez now. mad and we don't need ulez now. it's so. so we
3:48 pm
it's done its job. so. so we could get rid of it. i'm the only candidate. going to only candidate. it's going to get of ulez i'm. get rid of all of ulez when i'm. >> you'd it completely? >> so you'd scrap it completely? completely yeah, absolutely. so how this do you think is how much of this do you think is financial motivated? >> has to be, because >> well, it has to be, because he's actually he's administration is virtually bankrupt . it we've got huge bankrupt. it we've got huge amounts. i don't know the exact figures. he manages a £20 billion but he's got a billion budget, but he's got a huge deficit, hole that huge deficit, a black hole that he's got fill. and guess he's got to fill. and guess what? the cash easy what? the cash cow, the easy cash is the motorists, the cash cow is the motorists, the driver. and he just says because it with his green agenda it fits in with his green agenda , this signalling agenda , this virtue signalling agenda going country, which going across the country, which loads people are jumping on loads of people are jumping on on bandwagon and we're on the bandwagon and we're seeing it. you mentioned it quite rightly. it's going to hit people around the country or everywhere an everywhere possibly. and it's an easy, to get money. easy, easy way to get money. let's hit the motorists and that's the way they do it. so how if mayor khan was so concerned about it being a green city and clean air, why doesn't he ban all cars? >> you know, because why is it just sort of like if you've got the money and you can pay £12.50, you can drive wherever
3:49 pm
gas monstrosity you gas guzzling monstrosity you want through the streets. but if you've a white van and you've got a white van and you're sort of like you know, sort like a working class sort of like a working class bloke your building bloke trying to do your building job is just job and your van is just a little bit old, can't do little bit too old, you can't do that. that's the point. that. and that's the point. >> dawn you've got it spot on. he's saying, don't worry, you can diesel in, can bring your dirty diesel in, no just me no problem. just give me the dosh for now, the important dosh for it. now, the important thing is that there gas thing here is that there are gas guzzling big supercars and things which because guzzling big supercars and thingfit which because guzzling big supercars and thingfit what'snhich because guzzling big supercars and thingfit what's calledyecause guzzling big supercars and thingfit what's called euro se they fit in what's called euro six standards, etcetera six emission standards, etcetera , putting , they are still putting out a lot emissions compared to lot more emissions compared to a little. i mean, give you an little. i mean, i'll give you an example. there's a midwife that works this example works in i use this example a lot, who works in a lot, a midwife who works in a hospital in london. think it's hospital in london. i think it's saint does shift saint thomas's. she does shift work comes in about 6:00 work and she comes in about 6:00 at night and leaves 3:00 in the next morning. she has to pay two congestion charges and two ultra low emission zones that adds up to about and she only gets to about £56. and she only gets paid to about £56. and she only gets paino basically we've got >> so basically we've got a labour mayor sadiq khan , labour mayor sadiq khan, targeting the working class, the traditional labour voters, the very people they want to, you
3:50 pm

4:06 pm
gbviews@gbnews.com or tweet me at. gb news. now gbviews@gbnews.com or tweet me at . gb news. now russian at. gb news. now russian president vladimir putin has sent his condolences to the family of yevgeny prigozhin, the former leader of the mercenary wagner group, who was among ten people killed north of moscow. the aircraft he was on could be seen hurtling downwards, trailing smoke with an on board explosion, believed to be the likely cause of the crash . his likely cause of the crash. his death alleged death. we don't know for certain, to be honest, occurs two months to the day since he led an abortive mutiny against the military top brass, something that putin described as treacherous . and as always, as treacherous. and as always, be careful what you wish for with reports today that the russian spy chief behind the salisbury poisonings is tipped to take over the command of the wagner mercenary group . now, wagner mercenary group. now, there's a lot to get your head around here, so i'm glad i've got an expert in the studio, former strategic intelligence analysis. ewen grant is going to
4:07 pm
talk us through what is going on. what can we make of this? ewen, welcome to the studio. thank you so much for joining ewen, welcome to the studio. thank you so much forjoining us today. now, i wanted to go straight in just in case people out getting little out there are getting a little bit russia bit fatigued with the russia ukraine and i think that ukraine thing and i think that can happen. this story can happen. but this story relates very much to what happens this country. so tell happens in this country. so tell me the link between the me about the link between the salisbury poisonings and remember that that horrific, that poor lady, dawn, dawn grant , was it lost dawn ? dawn , was it lost dawn? dawn sturgess lost her life with a poisoned perfume bottle . so how poisoned perfume bottle. so how is salisbury linked to what's going on now ? going on now? >> so g0|ng on now? >> so very, very going on now? >> so very, very much so . >> so very, very much so. >> so very, very much so. >> so everything is connected . >> so everything is connected. and the reason wagner got away with it for so long and the organisation when you refer to in which i'm to going mention now, got away with it for so long, is dots were not joined up across the western world. >> don't think that this is a failure of britain . it's a much failure of britain. it's a much wider failure of britain can
4:08 pm
actually hold its head up fairly well on this . well on this. >> and certainly in the response to helping ukraine and being aware of this , the gru , soviet aware of this, the gru, soviet military intelligence and now russian military intelligence , russian military intelligence, the parallel to the old kgb and carefully kept apart different commands to divide and rule. >> the that is the mother and father power of wagner. >> wagner came out of the gru decades ago, going way back to the cold war. so the royal materials are vital . rare earths i >> -- >> the metals were elected , cars >> the metals were elected, cars , the gru were in those countries decades ago, directly and with the cubans. now, of course , the gru , because they're course, the gru, because they're less carefully watched or were
4:09 pm
they were the people who did souls a bit harder to track them down. >> but bellingcat , you know, >> but bellingcat, you know, bellingcat, that marvellous organisation , nailed them . organisation, nailed them. >> but just to explain, for people that aren't aware what bellingcat is, bellingcat is a private , open source private, open source investigator , an organisation in investigator, an organisation in centred around eliot higgins, who has been severely criticised by the russians that is a testament to his success. >> they don't just cover russia , they cover misconduct . they , they cover misconduct. they did one brilliant one on dognappers people, kidnapping dogs, working a murder this week. >> yeah, i know. awful yes. yeah. >> so the gru are real and it hits us. >> it hits north america. it hits europe. >> so, i mean, firstly , do you >> so, i mean, firstly, do you actually believe that prigozhin has been killed or are you a bit dubious ? i mean, there is no
4:10 pm
dubious? i mean, there is no there's no proof that he was on that plane and has been killed. and i'm no military expert, but it does seem a bit weird that you had the leader of an organisation and all his top bods flying on one plane and thatis bods flying on one plane and that is a that is a very, very powerful point because that is puzzling. >> a lot of people, including me. i would like to say that , me. i would like to say that, but although on your channel i did several times in january and february last year , so before february last year, so before the re—invasion , i did predict the re—invasion, i did predict the re—invasion, i did predict the invasion. i thought it was likely and that it would come. >> i remember you saying, i remember. >> but i actually thought >> yeah, but i actually thought prigozhin would get away with it because he has so much dirt on putin. so this is clearly a message that putin, despite that issue because prigozhin did have dirt reckon that he can still take that. i'm working on the assumption. like others though we're all caveating it, he
4:11 pm
almost certainly is dead. this would be too much of a us right okay. >> because he this has happened before in 2019, i think in africa . africa. >> yes. >> yes. >> but . >> but. >> but. >> but. >> but he was supposed to be dead then. but obviously he popped up dead then. but obviously he popped up again . popped up again. >> that was somebody spinning , >> that was somebody spinning, too, right? not to this scale. and notice that was in africa. not right in the heart of. >> so what does what has happened recently with prigozhin's assassination and the people that are going with him and, you know, the new commander basically being responsible for the salisbury poisonings , what does it mean poisonings, what does it mean for us here? >> what effect is it going to have on us? should we be more scared? i mean, we should be more scared about international conflict , right? conflict, right? >> undermining western values. we earning over the global south the source of the raw materials and the trade routes . and the trade routes. >> is that why they're so interested in africa? because of the. yes, right. >> in a word, they can do this on the cheap. they had the base
4:12 pm
because as i mentioned, the base was the cold war kgb. but particularly the gru , because particularly the gru, because they they were essentially a foreign service . kgb, of course, foreign service. kgb, of course, was divided into foreign and as it is now formally foreign and domestic, i mean, it was largely a domestic security and law enforcement agency , albeit not enforcement agency, albeit not in a democracy. so yes, we should. and i think it is hugely significant, although i'm not a fan of boris johnson , i would fan of boris johnson, i would urge everybody, whether you love him or loathe him , read his him or loathe him, read his article in the daily mail. he doesn't think it's a coincidence that this happened the day in the middle. in the middle of the brics summit in south africa. right? putin only spoke by video link . he right? putin only spoke by video link. he doesn't right? putin only spoke by video link . he doesn't want to be link. he doesn't want to be arrested by the for the international criminal court. but he had his man, lavrov , the
4:13 pm
but he had his man, lavrov, the foreign minister, and i strongly suspect that lavrov , whose suspect that lavrov, whose unofficial stepdaughter paid several million pounds in cash for a flat near harrods and gave verbal messages , no electronic verbal messages, no electronic communications, no electronic footprint to all the leaders of the brics. the morning after to say business as usual. your deals with us, no questions asked , are still there. asked, are still there. >> it is quite chilling . it's >> it is quite chilling. it's very i mean, obviously to people that don't have your expertise in this area is very confusing to get ahead. there was another story today in one of the papers that the jailed opposition leader, alexei navalny, if i'm pronouncing that correctly , has pronouncing that correctly, has has described this as basically a mistake by putin and it could plunge russia into a civil war. but you seem to be saying the opposite, that it makes putin
4:14 pm
stronger . stronger. >> i wouldn't go that far because navalny is an extremely brave man. remember, he's been poisoned . they very nearly poisoned. they very nearly killed him . and again, that's killed him. and again, that's another blatant attack. the articles , by the way, in the articles, by the way, in the times by mark bennett, it's effectively a rolling news article. yes, that's absolutely brilliant. following all this through. and it leads off with navalny's comments. and i don't think the two are incompatible . think the two are incompatible. a mistake. he's gone too far , a mistake. he's gone too far, far in that it weakens him. but it it strengthens him in the short term . so i think there's short term. so i think there's room it's always wise to work on both assumptions and have contingency plans. >> does what does putin really believe he is invincible? as i said, you know, they seem to be able to go to whatever country they around the world and they want around the world and murder as we had with murder citizens as we had with salisbury and as you say, we're not the only country that these sort of things have happened in. so does putin actually a bit like a way, i guess
4:15 pm
like trump in a way, i guess actually believe are actually believe they are invincible, that invincible, believe that they are are, you know, invincible . are are, you know, invincible. >> yeah. semi. oh right. >> yeah. semi. oh right. >> okay. why do you say semi semi in that they have a crucial advantage which is increasingly common in and we're going to see it more from china the chinese have done it not to a great scale. >> we certainly seen iran do it lethally so they can take hostages. right. and our response, the western world, law enforcement, even into so—called ordinary criminal cases, we are going to see increasing examples of hostage taking . innocent of hostage taking. innocent people are going to be taken hostage in order to protect . hostage in order to protect. asked russia's people in the classic example, of course. and you've got the book on their or damien lewis's operation relentless on victor boot . and relentless on victor boot. and victor boot is now out of a us
4:16 pm
jail back in russia. i think he's a member of the duma and the russians took a hostage. they took the basketball player hostage to get him back and they did get him back. and of course, boot kept his mouth shut. so prigozhin didn't well, quite so you and just we're running out of time, unfortunately. >> ali, one quick answer. so how will putin stop or does he need to be stopped ? to be stopped? >> second point, he needs to be stopped because if he isn't stopped because if he isn't stopped , the new brics and the stopped, the new brics and the chinese will see this as as an open goal to take a penalty shot at the chinese will do it differently. they'll be more subtle. but but no, we're very near the rubicon now . near the rubicon now. >> oh, right. >> oh, right. >> okay. chilling stuff . you and >> okay. chilling stuff. you and grant are former strategic intelligence analysts. thank you so much for actually explaining what the hell is going on. not that feeling that reassured
4:17 pm

4:25 pm
the scum of the earth . the scum of the earth. >> they profit off people's miseries. >> so i'm not surprised at all. they're now using women and girls and increasing threats to them to try and lure men to give them to try and lure men to give them tens of thousands of pounds for their travel. >> yeah , i live with my four >> yeah, i live with my four teenage girls from the age of 14 to 18. they all live with me. we have one hotel on our street. if that hotel was to suddenly empty out and 400 undocumented young men from violent countries from misogynistic patriarchal countries that view women as meat, as property that whose communities and society view unchaperoned women as free game were to suddenly appear on our streets and no one knows who they are. no one knows what they've done in my life would completely change. i would have to chaperone my daughters going to chaperone my daughters going to station, going to to the tube station, going to the shops. it would be very different if, know, 400 different if, you know, 400 yazidi women or iranian women
4:26 pm
were suddenly to take the place in the hotel . and it is not in the hotel. and it is not about race and it is not about where they come from. it is about culture. it is about views and attitudes towards women . and and attitudes towards women. and people smugglers want to make more money. and i'll tell you what, they're going to they're on increase long on the increase because as long as governments like ours dangle big all men big fat carrots to all the men in the world that they're free to come here no of to come here with no proof of who and we'll set them who they are. and we'll set them up and it's unlikely they'll be deported. they'll coming, deported. they'll keep coming, but absolutely , smugglers are but absolutely, smugglers are increasing women and increasing risks to women and girls. i just don't think our political class, including laboun political class, including labour, including the home office, give a flying flamingo about the increased risks women and girls in public safety. they'd rather impress macron and the international stage than protect their country and their people. right. >> just to be we're not >> just to be clear, we're not implying is we're implying this is why we're phrasing question way. implying this is why we're phryareg question way. implying this is why we're phryare not question way. implying this is why we're phryare not questhat way. implying this is why we're phryare not questhat everyay. we are not saying that every migrant into those migrant that comes into those countries boats is countries on those boats is a sex attacker . we're not implying sex attacker. we're not implying that. not at all whatsoever . no, that. not at all whatsoever. no, no, no. most of them obviously
4:27 pm
are, you know, completely nothing to do with this at all. it is the way these crossings are being sold by the people smugglers . it's the people smugglers. it's the people smugglers. it's the people smugglers. we are having a go at here because are the ones here because they are the ones that using the young women that are using the young women of this country as basically meat to lure men over to this country. dennis what do you make of this? i mean, you've seen the footage. i mean, we were just chatting about your grandchild. what this ? it is what do you make of this? it is appalling, isn't it? i'm delighted any expose of this. delighted as any expose of this. >> i wrote an article the >> i wrote an article in the daily telegraph. would you believe? natural habitat believe? not my natural habitat on along with william hague at the same time, on the issue of what to do about trafficked women and the insatiable demand in britain for paid for sex with trafficked women, now the labour government zahawi campaigned. william and i not a cross—party the labour government published a passed a law in 2008 saying it was a crime , um to pay for sex
4:28 pm
was a crime, um to pay for sex with anybody who had been trafficked . have you seen any trafficked. have you seen any prosecutions ? no. the blob got prosecutions? no. the blob got to it. the police won't prosecute it. the dpp won't prosecute it. the dpp won't prosecute . and instead of prosecute. and instead of a great law , because once you name great law, because once you name and shame, the demand side of this, i'm afraid, is white men hear english, white men are. you're absolutely right to highlight the trafficking gangs, all trafficking gangs. but until you start naming and shaming and putting in prison or finding the men who pay for this sex, i don't think a lot's going to happen. >> why? >> why? >> why? >> why do you have to mention their skin colour? i mean, they're men. it doesn't matter what colour skin they've got, does i they men. does it? i mean, they are men. it that are the rapists it is men that are the rapists that know. the bottom that you know. and the bottom line that women are, line here is, is that women are, again, the ones at risk. i mean, they you know, from being they are, you know, from being trafficked themselves to this country being country and, you know, being used as raw meat, basically . used as raw meat, basically. yeah. to get our more people on those boats. what do you make of
4:29 pm
this, suzanne evans ? this, suzanne evans? >> i really think that what dennis and belinda has said is very valid indeed. >> i mean, belinda paints a very frightening picture of a potential future for women in this country if this continues. >> derrick quite right, >> and derrick is quite right, of highlight fact of course, to highlight the fact that so criminals that there are so many criminals taking women , taking advantage of women, particularly who are trafficked into country. into this country. >> for me, i think like >> but for me, i think like dennis writing article some dennis writing his article some time , the is some of us time ago, the fact is some of us have trying to highlight have been trying to highlight this issue for considerable length and have been length of time and have not been getting anywhere. you might remember in 2015 there were attacks by thousands of migrant men, north african arabic men in cologne in 2015, on new year's eve, they literally rampaged through the streets, molesting women, sexually assaulting them , and in some cases raping them as well. there were a shocking few prosecutions as a result of that. but this is what can happen when you're importing into a country men in considerable numbers who have come from backgrounds where women are simply not respected.
4:30 pm
i mean , if you look worldwide, i mean, if you look worldwide, i mean, 1 in 9 children from 1 in 9 girls from developing countries have been married before their 15th birthday. i think that tells you everything you need to know about the kind of attitude to women and women's rights in some of the countries that these people coming that these people are coming from. national crime from. even the national crime agency, know, has said that agency, you know, has said that there entering the illegal uk, illegal. anybody who enters the uk illegally prevents law enforcement government from conducting criminal record checks on them before they get here, or security checks, meaning we don't know who they are and we don't know what risk they pose to the uk . but i think they pose to the uk. but i think in this case, when we've got nearly 90% of men coming across on these boats, a specific risk to women as well. >> and thank you so much. unfortunately, we are running out of time. it's dennis mcshane. you very much for mcshane. thank you very much for joining lucy joining us. and belinda de lucy and there. again and suzanne evans there. again i personally find this this this such an important subject . i such an important subject. i really do. and again, women are

4:52 pm
royal household, isn't there? and this week has been no different. prince harry will return to the uk next month, but he's not expected to see his brother or his father during his stay. the duke of sussex is set to make an appearance at an event for the wellchild charity on september the 7th. one day before the first anniversary of the death of the queen. each saturday, we give you a rundown on everything royal, and i'm joined now by the brilliant rob angela levin to give us that rundown and tell us what is going on with harry. with william, with charles, with all of them, to be honest with you, angela, welcome. thank you for joining us on this lovely bank houday joining us on this lovely bank holiday saturday. okay. what's going on? >> it's a big deal that >> well, it's a big deal that prince harry is coming over to the uk and he's been a patron of this well for 15 years. >> so he feels very keen about it. however the timing is astonishing because it's the day before, so it's literally the
4:53 pm
7th of september. >> yes . of the queen's first yeah >> and her passing. and a lot of people fear that he's going to use the opportunity dodi to speak first about the queen and they're all jittery about about that because absolutely, they don't want that. they don't want him to take the stage and to be on the front pages. meghan's not joining him , which is not the joining him, which is not the sort of. yes, she's done the last few , but last year it was last few, but last year it was cut short or cancelled just beforehand because the queen was very , very ill. yes, but she has very, very ill. yes, but she has been to i think, with him and so she's meeting him in germany and people there as well. a lot of people there as well. a lot of people are telling me that they're trying to get enough people to say that they don't want her there because she's going to speak about about courage and resilience . and i courage and resilience. and i don't think it's quite opportune
4:54 pm
that somebody who doesn't really have many courage and resilient problems and goes around with a calm ing badge, saw the stress and these people, ex—soldiers who have had terrible injuries, both mental and physical and they also are very cross that they're going to use them as pubuchy they're going to use them as publicity for themselves as i mean, they have loved harry. they've been very good . i've they've been very good. i've been on one with him and he spoke to all the people who started it, and they felt very strongly that he was absolutely right . but now strongly that he was absolutely right. but now he's strongly that he was absolutely right . but now he's turned it in right. but now he's turned it in more into making him somebody more into making him somebody more important than he is now. >> i'm just confused here, angela. why why is meghan going to be in germany with harry? but she's not coming over here. it's not is it? no, but not exactly far, is it? no, but she doesn't it here. she doesn't like it here. >> i think somebody me >> and i think somebody told me that knows that she's not at that she knows that she's not at all liked here. and she's all liked here. and so she's keeping away . they said gets
4:55 pm
keeping away. they said she gets very , very anxious if she's not very, very anxious if she's not in control . so of course, she in control. so of course, she wouldn't be in control there. and so she's just said she's coming later. she's not coming the first day. invictus games, she's coming towards the end and harry's going to give a speech right at the end. but i mean , right at the end. but i mean, people in canada have contacted me to say they're trying to stop the 2025 won because they don't want it anymore with them . want it anymore with them. they've got to leave the invictus games. they don't want it because he's ruined it and they become all about harry and meghan because it's become. yes, they're taking all the spotlight away from them. i mean, they need that help. they need the spotlight. there's the most extraordinary that extraordinary things that they've do being they've managed to do from being very, very badly wounded . and i very, very badly wounded. and i spent time with harry and meeting some of these people , meeting some of these people, and they felt they had nothing in life and they felt that harry had given them. he was very positive of with the cuts that
4:56 pm
we saw before this last week. he was his own self. he was very upbeat and positive and enthusiastic and encouraging. but actually there once meghan turns up as well, she will take the show because she has to be at the front, she has to be number one. so that's very, very difficult for him . he's going to difficult for him. he's going to stay there a week . and william stay there a week. and william apparently won't have anything to do with him . he thinks he's to do with him. he thinks he's been so rude and so he's not going to see his brother or his father and king charles is up in scotland. so you know, he can't run up and go down. but you see, they've calmed down and they're carrying on now with their own lives. and lots of business is going. the holiday ends at the end of the month. and so they start being busy again and they can't have somebody who comes in once. apologies for since he was a small child and nags and also who will then sell what he hears to somebody else. this is the problem. >> how do you you know, even
4:57 pm
though it's such an emotional time, i mean, you know, the boys lost, lost, lost. the queen lost their grandmother, would lost, lost, lost. the queen lost their thought yther, would lost, lost, lost. the queen lost theirthoughtyther,it would lost, lost, lost. the queen lost their thought yther, it would ld lost, lost, lost. the queen lost their thought yther, it would be have thought that it would be time to meet up. but as you say, you trust it. so talking you can't trust it. so talking of the anniversary of the queen's the 8th queen's death, which is the 8th of what are william of september, what are william and catherine going up to? and catherine going to be up to? >> to go to wales >> they're going to go to wales . now prince . there's they are now prince and princess of wales, of course. and there's a church there that the queen used to love. and whenever she was there, she would go there. so they're going spend the they're going to spend the actual day. >> right. okay. >> oh, right. okay. >> oh, right. okay. >> with in wales. and that means they can cover their duties actually to wales as well . so actually to wales as well. so that will be the i think it's rather a nice thing to do and they will give a talk about the queen. and it's interesting that king charles and camilla want to stay very quietly. they're going to stay at home. and any members of the family who come round will come and see them and talk . and i think it will be very painful for king charles. i mean, he loved his mother, his
4:58 pm
following in the footsteps of his mum , who always remembered his mum, who always remembered her dad losing her dad at his death very quietly and on her own, didn't she? yes well, he's following her for an awful lot of things, actually. i think looking back on the way she's behaved as well during her behaved as well as during her life, he that she's so , life, he thinks that she's so, you know, she's done everything so right and appropriate and also, he's this amazing sort of duty that she's had . and he's duty that she's had. and he's got it, too . i think it has got it, too. i think it has knocked him for six, really. and it's quite understandable. i think sometimes when people get very old, you think they'll never you know, it's not the never go. you know, it's not the same well, they were same thing. oh, well, they were that had life. that age. they had a good life. you know, just feel, you you know, you just feel, you know, go now. it's you know, you can't go now. it's you just can't, know, it doesn't just can't, you know, it doesn't matter you how matter how old you are or how old is, you never want old a parent is, you never want to lose them, do you? >> yes, but the real black sheep in this particular family is one. prince andrew. what's he up to ? to? >> well, he started a huge attempt to get . the £3 million
4:59 pm
attempt to get. the £3 million security that he had beforehand that was stopped when he lost his hrh . but he thinks that now his hrh. but he thinks that now he should get it back and very good question . and he feels that good question. and he feels that he should be paid that and that's what he's going to fight for and he's to going take it for and he's to going take it for the end. this is a quote out and try and get it. i think it's him being ridiculous and trying to irritate out his brother because he's got nothing to do . because he's got nothing to do. but he is still staying in the house with fergie, who is recovering from a quite a serious cancer operation . but i serious cancer operation. but i think he's not trying to cooperate. he's not trying to help him. he's just being a thorn in the side as well. >> and angela, thank you so much. we are, as usual, running out time. angela levin, royal out of time. angela levin, royal expert with royal expert there with all the royal gossip. andrew £3 million police protection leave that one with you. right. you're watching dawn neesom on news. more to come neesom on gb news. more to come in next hour .

5:07 pm
the doctor struck bike's record waiting lists and a funding black hole . it seems the nhs is black hole. it seems the nhs is always in a state of crisis, no matter where you are across the country, there are issues everywhere relating to the nhs and in bristol patients have been complaining for years. after more than 200 patients underwent a mesh bowel operation , they might not have needed . , they might not have needed. now, after a long wait. details of the allegations against surgeon tony dixon have been revealed . with a medical revealed. with a medical tribunal set to begin next month, which will look into allegations dixon failed to provide adequate care between 2010 and 2016. sounding horribly familiar, this isn't it. mr dixon has previously said that he is unable to comment while proceedings are ongoing . he has proceedings are ongoing. he has always maintained the operations were done in good faith and any surgery could have complicated options. now, paula goss is the founder of recto mesh victims
5:08 pm
and support and is one of the victims of these surgeries herself. she joins me now in the studio to talk about what she and the people in her organisation have been through and to talk about the nhs and how it's treating patients in general at the moment. paula. thank you so much for joining me. really lovely to see you, paula. just just tell us briefly about your organisation, what you do and what has happened to you. it sounds horrific . you. it sounds horrific. >> well , my story you. it sounds horrific. >> well, my story happened back in when i had the mesh inserted in when i had the mesh inserted in 2014. i then had this was for a prolapsed bowel is that i didn't have prolapsed bowel . didn't have prolapsed bowel. >> some people do , some people >> some people do, some people don't. i was actually not informed correctly when i was given the operation, which we've subsequently found out . so subsequently found out. so predominantly , yes, the rectum predominantly, yes, the rectum is done. >> if there are issues with bowel prolapse as it shouldn't be done for any other issues really. >> but it has been so that's
5:09 pm
when my journey started in 2014. subsequently ended up very early in hospital in 2018, started my group in 2019 because i was trying to get information on trying to get information on trying to get information on trying to understand my situation , but also if anybody situation, but also if anybody else was going through it. and that's how the group was formed andifs that's how the group was formed and it's gone from strength to strength. we don't just have wrecked pixie mesh patients on there. we have others that have had vaginal bladder slings , had vaginal bladder slings, hernias. so it is quite a, you know, a mix based group. but we do support and that's the thing , because without the support, they don't know what treatments they don't know what treatments they can get. can't get. and it does seem to be a bit of a postcode lottery, specifically with the nhs treatment. >> and how do you feel that you and fellow sufferers have been treated by the nhs in the beginning? >> obviously when it was all when they've been implanted and everything else, and when they
5:10 pm
go back there's a there was a lack of education, there was a lot of ignorance. >> yes, there was discussions whether it's male or female, because retrospectively bowel mesh is given to males and females. but you're told it's your age, you're overweight , females. but you're told it's your age, you're overweight, but it's your hormones . it's some it's your hormones. it's some other reason it can't be the mesh implant that was given to you . and in fact, because there you. and in fact, because there are thousands and thousands that are thousands and thousands that are suffering these complications, they would never adequately tested on humans in the past. they don't know. so they need to learn. and even now , we helped the patient safety commissioner to create a letter for patients to take to their gp's . we're still getting now gp's. we're still getting now ignorance from all gps consultants health care settings saying they don't know anything about mesh . it's been in the about mesh. it's been in the headunes about mesh. it's been in the headlines for years and they still don't know and they still don't know. >> and the tribunal is happening next month. so the tribunal is happening next month from my point of view, i can only hope and trust that the gmc
5:11 pm
investigate the six cases thoroughly and that the outcome is adequate for what he has done to patients , as you must. to patients, as you must. i mean, i can hear in your voice, i can hear the emotion in your voice, but you must be incredibly obviously you've been through, you read some of the detail. i'm not going to read it all out online because it is it's fairly horrific . but please it's fairly horrific. but please have story have a google at paula's story and what you have been and see what you have been through. and some of the people in your organisation, what have been is pleasant been through it is not pleasant stuff, horrible and stuff, is it? it's horrible and it's lives. and i think it's ruined lives. and i think at one point i was reading about some people feeling suicidal at one point i was reading about somewhat)le feeling suicidal at one point i was reading about somewhat they�*eling suicidal at one point i was reading about somewhat they�*eling going al through. >> had suicides and >> sadly had suicides and recently even just last year, boxing day, we had a suicide from one which was absolutely heartbreaking, waiting for some sort of closure and some sort of justice. they to justice. what they have to understand is these patients are going through chronic pain. they're listened to. they're not being listened to. they're not being listened to. they're stress and they're then having stress and it's just the stress of it's not just the stress of their what's being it's not just the stress of their by what's being it's not just the stress of their by this. what's being it's not just the stress of their by this. if hat's being it's not just the stress of their by this. if they'reeing caused by this. if they're having to go down litigation
5:12 pm
that again, is causing the extra stress on on these poor patients . so it is really, really difficult for them to navigate. that's why all the support groups and it doesn't matter how many whatever they join , there many whatever they join, there are loads and there's a reason why there's loads because there's that been harmed. >> so has the nhs ignored >> so why has the nhs ignored you? why are they not listening ? do they still not know ? why do they still not know what on that's a what is going on that's a question we've asked quite regularly and we don't get many answers . answers. >> so that is a it's appalling. >> so that is a it's appalling. >> i mean, this is the nhs, this is our nhs, right? you know, it has become a cult, i think we'll all agree. but our nhs, we pay for it. it's meant to be looking after seems to be after us and it just seems to be do incredibly bad job. as you do an incredibly bad job. as you say, you know, if look say, you know, if you look people, someone took their own life over this. >> we've we've had quite >> we've had we've had quite a few i think the issue few suicides. i think the issue is , and this just done in is, and this is not just done in nhs hospitals , sadly, these nhs hospitals, sadly, these implanting done in private implanting were done in private and hospitals , at least in and nhs hospitals, at least in bristol. there were reviews done. so the nhs hospital and the private hospital where the surgeon worked did do a review,
5:13 pm
albeit they didn't call all the patients. call many of patients. they did call many of them, they do a uk wide them, unless they do a uk wide review nhs hospitals and patients and pull in specifically retrospectively i'm talking about. but i think they should do it with all pull all the patients back and see where they are, see what complications they've never going they've got. they're never going to truly understand the to really, truly understand the figure thousands of figure of how many thousands of damaged . damaged. >> i find it appalling that >> i just find it appalling that the nhs there us and you the nhs is there for us and you know, this comes back to the horrific story of the neonatal neonatal nurse lucy letby, you know, killed seven babies and that hospital , the countess of that hospital, the countess of cheshire hospital, as appear to put the reputation of that hospital before the lives of their patients , and particularly their patients, and particularly their patients, and particularly the most vulnerable patients, those tiny babies . it must, even those tiny babies. it must, even though it's a completely different case, it must have resonance with you. >> it does. and i think that's down to culture. i think it's also to down that there are people who are in these
5:14 pm
environments, in these hospitals that know what is going on. they are either a too scared to speak up or be they know what's going on and they seem to be complicit with what's going on. and that is systemic culture within these nhs that must make you, paula, with what you've been through. yeah, it makes me really, really angry. >> i mean, you know, there were commentators with the accounts of cheshire saying that the managers there who ignored the warnings for senior doctors warnings from for senior doctors have blood on their hands because if they'd have listened initially, at least two, possibly three of those babies would still today . would still be alive today. there'd be seven, eight year old kids ball about, kids kicking a ball about, enjoying days of their enjoying the last days of their school holiday. they're enjoying the last days of their sch absolutely. absolutely >> absolutely. absolutely >> it is quite incredible . >> it is quite incredible. paula. i can only bow down admiration for you for fighting all this time. it must be

>> join the live desk on gb news. the people's channel. britain's news . news. the people's channel. britain's news. channel news. the people's channel. britain's news . channel welcome back. >> you're with dawn neesom on gb news on tv and on digital radio. it's time for our great british debate this hour. i'm asking , is debate this hour. i'm asking, is it time for our leaders to get back to work, not only has parliament been in recess since july , the middle of july, early july, the middle of july, early july, the middle of july, early july, a long time. but prince william and princess kate have come under pressure this week after raising eyebrows within parts of the royal household . parts of the royal household. and according to a royal commentator , they have enjoyed a commentator, they have enjoyed a break from undertaking royal family engagements this summer as a holiday with their children. prince george,
5:22 pm
princess charlotte and little princess charlotte and little prince louis. but will, will and kate being incredibly popular and a huge asset to the uk, are they ignoring their duties and i'm going to mention the world cup because he should have been there, shouldn't he? anyway but for british debate, for the great british debate, this i am asking is it time for our and those royals to our leaders and those royals to get joining me to get back to work? joining me to discuss this is former conservative minister and shadow home secretary ann widdecombe , home secretary ann widdecombe, political commentator peter spenceh political commentator peter spencer, and royal commentator richard fitzwilliams. there you all are . thank you so much for all are. thank you so much for joining me on this lovely bank holiday. now okay, i'm here working . you're here working. working. you're here working. you're quite clearly sitting talking to me. time time for the politicians to get back to work. and they have been off since the middle of june. is it july ? get middle of june. is it july? get back to work? >> are they? >> are they? >> they certainly haven't been off since the middle of june. that's nonsense. and i'm tired. and mean, i know this as an and i mean, i know this as an ex—politician. get ex—politician. i used to get very the of people very tired at the time of people saying that recess a holiday.
5:23 pm
saying that recess is a holiday. i tell you what happens. i can tell you what happens. july is desk clearance. august is holiday. and family whom politician don't get to see every day. like most people do. and then september is constituency when the schools are back and the businesses are back. are back and the businesses are back . but you are back and the businesses are back. but you are not are back and the businesses are back . but you are not yet back back. but you are not yet back at parliament. then there's october party conferences and parliament sits again. now you seem to make too completely conflicting complaints . when conflicting complaints. when i say you, i mean those who complain about these things. one is that parliament interferes too much and produces far too much legislation. the other is that there and that whenever there and it is a complete nonsense and every body needs a holiday. and by the way , government itself is never in recess. parliament may be every single government department has a duty minister, every single day of the week, including weekends, and that minister is on duty 24 hours a day . on duty 24 hours a day. >> i've just been told off by a whittaker live on tv. oh my god, my life is complete, right? peter spencer. what? peter
5:24 pm
spenceh peter spencer. what? peter spencer. what do you make of that? i'm sorry, i. that? i mean, i'm sorry, i. yeah, much as i love you and yeah, as much as i love you and i mean, they off the i mean, they went off on the 20th july, they're not back 20th of july, they're not back to the 4th of september. for most that's long away. >> well , i away. >> well, i mean, they do this year because of the coronation. they actually get 17 weeks houday they actually get 17 weeks holiday they're paid holiday a year. they're paid £84,000 a year with all the perks that go with it, they can get extra money if they choose. and of course, there are no particular qualifications and no particular qualifications and no particular set hours of working. so you might say nice work if you can get it, but it grieves me to have to say this to not get a chance to stick my tongue out at our great leaders. but the fact is that what anne says is perfectly right. they don't a lot of the time. i mean, they glorified social workers. a lot of these guys in their constituency work a lot of those myths, constituencies hundreds of miles from where they happen to where parliament is. then they haven't got much time. all they haven't got much time. all they can do is write so they can do is write letters. so when get back to their when they get back to their constituents of time, constituents for a body of time, they actually get a chance to
5:25 pm
they do actually get a chance to really get stuck in. i say get a chance. the assiduous ones do precisely that. if they choose to be lazy and whatever's , then to be lazy and whatever's, then that's their choice , right? that's their choice, right? >> come on, let richard fitzwilliams. now let's bring the royals into this. it's not just politicians that most of us are thinking have been away missing quite a while now. missing for quite a while now. what about the royals ? i mean, what about the royals? i mean, william should have been president of the fa. he should have been at the world he have been at the world cup. he wasn't where what wasn't there. where was he? what wasn't there. where was he? what was he doing? why aren't they back work? back to work? >> firstly, i would just >> well, firstly, i would just make point follows on make the point that follows on what been hearing , what we've just been hearing, and remember king and that is, remember king charles has his red boxes every single day pretty well, maybe christmas day is an exception of the years the queen used to. >> so it's completely wrong to imagine the royals totally secluded from real life public dufies secluded from real life public duties and so forth. but everybody needs a holiday. and everybody needs a holiday. and ever since 1852, when queen
5:26 pm
victoria built balmoral and brought balmoral, we've had this lengthy summer holidays. the queen tended to go there. in fact, in sometimes in july and stay up till september or october. now, regarding william and the world cup, yes. now i agree. i think it would have been a very good idea. and it would have also shown that royal schedules can have been. michelle obama said that the queen told her once the royal protocol was rubbish and this would have meant simply an alteration in the plans. all right. a drastic alteration, 22 hour flight and so forth . but as hour flight and so forth. but as president of the fa, he'd have been there and if the lionesses had won, there would have been the spanish queen and the governor—general. and that in fact proper fact was not a proper substitute. if it was a question of carbon emissions, all those royal tours abroad , they are royal tours abroad, they are carbon emissions. regretfully if it was a question of not going to a realm before the king in some form of protocol that i don't think applies today in the
5:27 pm
same way that he used to. so yes, he certainly should have. but don't let's make the mistake that the that the prince and princess of wales don't do their stuff when they are, in fact on duty because they're as a couple, they've got glamour , couple, they've got glamour, they've got pull and they've got a brand from the earthshot prize to katherine's work for young children . i mean it's second to children. i mean it's second to none. hold on, hold on a minute. >> right. okay. right. i feel like i'm being outnumbered here, which not fair, frankly. which is not fair, frankly. right. average person right. the average person in this , the isn't this country, by the way, isn't on the same salary as mps. what is it? and you're correct me, i know you will, because that's what you do so well. what it? what you do so well. what is it? 84 a year. the 84 grand? 86 grand a year. the average person in country is on about 28 grand year and they about 28 grand a year and they only holiday why only get 28 days. holiday so why should we feel sorry for politicians ? politicians? >> anne well, very straightforwardly, this if you've got a family and you are a politician , then do you keep a politician, then do you keep that family and your
5:28 pm
constituency and not see your children from monday to friday, or do you bring them to london? and then what do you do in the recesses? have they got to traipse back to yorkshire? are you going to move them around all time? is that all the time? the fact is that most politicians do not see their during the week. their families during the week. those with london constituencies do . the fact is also that mps do. the fact is also that mps work quite late now. i know they no longer have the late night sittings. they had the all night sittings. they had the all night sittings in my day. they don't have but can have that anymore, but they can still the ordinary still sit late and the ordinary person that you're quoting at me , you know, generally can go home the shift and home at the end of shift and doesn't have to suddenly be told by whips , stay until the by the whips, stay until the adjournment, please. and that might hours time. so might be in three hours time. so don't run away with the idea. i mean, i think it's funny on the one but i do actually one hand, but i do actually rather resent way your rather resent the way that your profession, is not just profession, dawn, is not just you, profession , resene's you, your profession, resene's politicians as long holidays overpaid, you know, not doing a serious job of work when in fact, i once had a work
5:29 pm
placement, not a work student, but a fully grown adult who came to spend a week with me. he went home at 5:30. he didn't see why he should have to stay on when everybody else in westminster was still working. he went home at 5:30. he could not believe leave the hours that politicians work. so yes, make work of politicians. that's healthy. but don't misrepresent the situation i >> -- >> and we don't have taxpayers paying >> and we don't have taxpayers paying for subsidised bars for us out here in the real world, do we? and richard , the royals, do we? and richard, the royals, by the way, are sort of like, you know, knocked down their uppers as well. i mean, you know, they've you know, they don't to for their own don't have to pay for their own you they? you and gin, do they? >> hey, wait a minute. >> hey, wait a minute. >> now let's just mention what the royals us. they cost us the royals cost us. they cost us the royals cost us. they cost us the core cost of the the basic core cost of the sovereign support grant, excluding securities £0.77, and it's gone up for 1.2 £0.09 per person per year , including the person per year, including the restoration of buckingham palace. now, that costs £369
5:30 pm
million over ten years. i put it to you that that is a superb bargain and that we have a royal family the highest profile in the world. there's no doubt. no one does a ceremonial like us. it's the best use of soft power we've got. it attracts tourists and they do a tremendous amount for charity. i rest my case. >> you're right. at least queen letizia of spain went to the world cup. but ann widdecombe, thank you so much for telling me off. would be so proud off. my mum would be so proud of me. spencer, political me. peter spencer, political commentator commentator fitzwilliams, royal commentator there , defending are there, defending people who are still on holiday. you're with dawn neesom , on gb news, on tv dawn neesom, on gb news, on tv and digital radio. coming up, we'll continue our great british debate. i'm asking is it time for our leaders to get back to work? the thoughts work? you'll hear the thoughts of lizzie cundy of my panel, lizzie cundy and matthew but first, the matthew lazer. but first, the news sanchez, who's news with tatiana sanchez, who's working . working. >> i am dawn. thank you very much and good afternoon. this is the latest from the newsroom. fifa has suspended spanish fa

5:45 pm
at the women's world cup. now, i'm thrilled to say, because this story, it's this is another story, it's annoyed me this afternoon. joining about this is joining me to talk about this is former referee and fifa instructor, janey frampton. janey, thank you so much for joining us. afternoon. i'm angry about this. i watched game. about this. i watched the game. i it . obviously, i watched it. obviously, i watched the world cup final. unlike and was unlike prince william. and i was sitting going, hold on. sitting there going, hold on. what's he doing? what's he doing ? he's just them. he ? he's not just kissing them. he was them over his was slinging them over his shoulder. and i'm thinking this this what do you this looks wrong. what do you make about this whole fuss ? make about this whole fuss? well, more than a fuss. >> well, thank you for firstly for inviting me on. and secondly , this is disgraceful . this is , this is disgraceful. this is misogyny at its absolute best. and worst. now okay, we had the crotch grabbing , which i and worst. now okay, we had the crotch grabbing, which i think was disgraceful when you consider that the world press was going to be on on that balcony because obviously the queen was there from spain. so and then you get the kissing . and then you get the kissing. now, what's really annoyed me today is the spanish federation
5:46 pm
have come out and said that they are thinking of taking legal action against jenny because of her lies . so who says they're her lies. so who says they're lies ? because if you look at the lies? because if you look at the video clip for me, there was no time to have that whole communication of can i kiss you? yes, that's okay. kiss there. wasn't that that time? it was an absolute instinctive kiss . and absolute instinctive kiss. and he said he had consent. she said , “0, he said he had consent. she said , no, he didn't. now so for the federation to come out now and say that i think is just shocking . shocking. >> he's actually managed to turn himself into the victim by saying he is the victim of feminists. was that the word he used ? i can't remember me. used? i can't remember me. meanwhile how are you know, poor jenny hermoso is the lady you've seen being hugged and kissed there? is she saying there ? she there? is she saying there? she tried to tell me to say no. it was fine. i didn't mind it. it wasn't fine. i did mind . it
