of course attracted numerous headlines, and many people wondered why it had taken so long to actually long for the truth to actually ever there. now, that ever come out there. now, that was when over 1300 were was when over 1300 girls were abused the town . from 1997 to abused in the town. from 1997 to 2014. it is understood that the recently returned files could relate to active national crime agency investigations and then being withheld and could have affected police work and prosecutions. this was, of course, just one of a number of grooming gang scandals that gnpped grooming gang scandals that gripped the nation. tell us more about this as gb news investigates. reporter charlie peters, who joins me in the studio right now. so, charlie , studio right now. so, charlie, what is the latest on this? >> an update earlier what is the latest on this? >> month an update earlier what is the latest on this? >> month that n update earlier what is the latest on this? >> month that iandate earlier what is the latest on this? >> month that in december.ier last month that in december 2022, a batch of several hundred files were returned to the rotherham council by a whistleblower who's been in touch with gb news, who used to work in the town as a youth worker. turns out today worker. now it turns out today and nca and the borough and the nca and the borough council have confirmed that these were duplicates of files. they already were in possession of, so they won't affect any

prosecutions. survivors told prosecutions. but survivors told me they were very concerned and indeed, this youth worker told me they were very concerned that these files are floating around in public and now we can't share any course , of what any details. of course, of what was documents was on these documents because they're sensitive, but they're extremely sensitive, but they're extremely sensitive, but they of they contain information of alleged perpetrators. some perpetrator , others who have perpetrator, others who have been jailed, names of victims, operational details about tailing people in cars, and also activity in the town. some stuff also that hasn't been published in many of the government reports. so extremely sensitive information. now, the story approached even more concerning levels is towards the end of last month when it was exposed to gb news investigates that some further files were in possession of this youth worker and they had contacted rotherham council on the 10th of august saying this is what i've got, i really need to deposit this. this is a process that has to be done very carefully. and done legally very carefully. and they since they haven't heard back since then. and they have accused the council of failing to act appropriately recover some appropriately to recover some extremely sensitive information.

>> absolutely and >> yeah, well, absolutely. and i think reminding >> yeah, well, absolutely. and i thinviewers reminding >> yeah, well, absolutely. and i thinviewers and reminding >> yeah, well, absolutely. and i thinviewers and our reminding >> yeah, well, absolutely. and i thinviewers and our listenersg >> yeah, well, absolutely. and i thinviewers and our listeners of our viewers and our listeners of exactly situation was exactly what the situation was in rotherham, was in rotherham, because it was a bit a watershed moment for bit of a watershed moment for britain's grooming gang shame . britain's grooming gang shame. >> um, that's right. between 1997 and 2014, the period of investigation for the jay report, they found well over 1400 young children have been abused in the town during that period. that figure was revised up to 1510 by the national crime agency. and they've made dozens of arrests since in their operation stovewood investigation runs. now, it's known that none of the files that were returned in december, as , were related to as i said, were related to ongoing ones. ongoing investigation ones. they've already been covered. but again , these are files that but again, these are files that shouldn't in public. the shouldn't be in public. the council confirmed, as council has confirmed, as i said, that they recovered these files in december and immediately on to immediately passed them on to the national crime agency. so they policy they followed the right policy as required by the operation as as required by the operation stovewood guidelines. but they haven't yet provided a statement or a response to these allegations of failing to collect more data as it was

recovered in the beginning of last. >> it's that bit that i'm especially interested in that problem failing to collect problem about failing to collect more allegedly because it more data allegedly because it took a heck of a long time for any information about grooming gangs to come out . there were gangs to come out. there were fears in other parts of the country about this, quote unquote , stoking racial unquote, stoking racial tensions, which as far as i could gather, was mainly based around the inconvenient fact that a lot of the people who were members of these grooming gangs happened to be from the british, british, british, pakistani and british, bangladeshi . and bangladeshi communities. and people that might people thought that that might end racial end up stoking those racial tensions the fact that tensions despite the fact that unfortunately, was just the unfortunately, it was just the truth. then it paved the way truth. and then it paved the way for investigations in places like telford in rochdale , like telford in rochdale, oldham, manchester, as well, and a fair few others around the country. so victims and i think anyone with their head screwed on, does have a right to be concerned about the potential for cover ups. for any other cover ups. >> , a victim i spoke >> indeed, a victim i spoke to this morning expressed deep concern because the files concern because on the files that very that i've reviewed very carefully the details of her

abuser were listed there and these are files that she hadn't seen before that hadn't been made aware to her. so it's not known at stage if these are known at this stage if these are duplicates files that the duplicates of files that the council and the nca have already seen or if they're originals . we seen or if they're originals. we don't even know the origin of the file, but they do look extremely credible and have extremely credible and they have the to the right kind of signature to demonstrate their legitimacy . demonstrate their legitimacy. the unconfirmed at this time , of the unconfirmed at this time, of course. now, as you can imagine, that survivors are extremely distressed see the allegation distressed to see the allegation and experiences that they experience . you know, two experience. you know, two decades ago replicated and printed out in this way, circulating in public. this is information that they believe really should be in the hands of the state and not floating around in private, but what has happened the years to some happened over the years to some of the people who've been in these grooming gangs, mean, these grooming gangs, i mean, i can cases can remember reporting on cases where people were given huge amounts of legal aid. >> was almost impossible >> it was almost impossible to deport people as well . deport certain people as well. and also in some cases, one of them was allowed to have a job

as a delivery driver, delivering food in the same area where he'd been going around raping young girls . there was also been going around raping young girls. there was also numerous cases being moved out cases of people being moved out of prison despite only having a few worth of a sentence few years worth of a sentence moving back into their local community so they bump community so they could bump into their victims at the shops i >> -- >> in the course of our, you know, grand breaking investigation into the grooming gang that broadcast gang scandal that we broadcast earlier we did meet earlier this year, we did meet with survivors said with many survivors who said that were regularly that they were still regularly bumping their abuser the bumping into their abuser in the streets, shops , as we've streets, in the shops, as we've also also exclusively also seen also exclusively reported by gb news earlier this year , that some survivors are year, that some survivors are taking civil action in their own way after abusers are released from prison, that they can actually launch their own legal prosecution. and we a prosecution. and we saw a successful one earlier this year when rotherham abuser ashgar boston was successfully boston was was successfully fined several hundred thousands of pounds by his victim. two decades on. so more justice can be achieved through different avenues. absolutely. >> well, look, thank you very much continuing to highlight much for continuing to highlight this that , this issue. it is a topic that, bizarrely, as i can see,

bizarrely, as far as i can see, most other news outlets decide bizarrely, as far as i can see, m

then is this more myths about the british economy being busted wide open? we were actually doing better than we thought . doing better than we thought. >> well, what's happened with the ons, the office for national statistics , patrick, is the statistics, patrick, is the mists have cleared . often they mists have cleared. often they try and take their best guess on growth in the economy in real time as these these figures are being collated after that time has passed, you get an idea of taxation receipts are put in. they can get a better picture of how the economy performed. and the good news well, personally for prime minister , rishi for the prime minister, rishi sunak, who the time was the sunak, who at the time was the chancellor economy chancellor, is that the economy grew by 0.8. 5, 8.5% in 2021, grew by by 0.8. 5, 8.5% in 2021, rather than 7.6. there had been a thought there had been a contraction of the economy by the end of 2021 was 0.6% larger. forgive me and not not smaller. this contraction we thought had happenedin this contraction we thought had happened in 2021, which lots of doom mongers leapt on as evidence of our failing economy, hasn't really happened. and the

pm rishi sunak, has put out a statement today saying how pleased he is that he's been proved good news. proved right and it's good news. it means very little going forward it means that forward because it means that the baseline of the economy is the baseline of the economy is the is bit bigger. but the same as is a bit bigger. but we are still problem we are still facing the problem with headroom for tax cuts going forward. it's good news. we forward. so it's good news. we did better than we thought we did, doesn't mean much did, but it doesn't mean much going terms of going forward in terms of relieving the of living relieving the cost of living crisis many millions of families. >> well, no, it doesn't. and that's things i want that's one of the things i want to i do, i'm to pick up on before i do, i'm just out what just going to read out what jeremy here. he jeremy hunt has tweeted here. he says, , this says, the decline, this narrative its narrative about britain and its long term prospects for which post pandemic growth was usually cited as the main of cited as the main piece of evidence, just wrong. in evidence, is just wrong. in fact, go back further and fact, to go back further and since 2010, our growth has also outperformed germany , france and outperformed germany, france and japan , also italy as well. so in japan, also italy as well. so in fact, we are just behind canada and the us. so that all seems good. but you've mentioned there about people dealing with the cost of living crisis and it's

all very well and good to look at facts like this. but you know, capita people don't know, per capita people don't tend to feel richer, do they? and that comes into ties and i think that comes into ties into a narrative about, you know , massaging the figures also , massaging the figures and also as well, i think as well. christopher, you know, having one try to go to the one solution to try to go to the economy solution economy and that solution being mass . mass migration. >> yes. well yes, i mean, there's a number of issues there. patrick i mean, mass migration has been used by employers to fill gaps, employers to fill work gaps, while million danes languish on benefits. that's part of the problem. that's part the problem. that's part of the attempt reorientate the attempt to reorientate the economy more people back economy and get more people back to that male leading and to work. that male leading and he's work pensions he's the work and pensions secretary. but totally secretary. but you're totally right. does show that the big right. it does show that the big problem we're not feeling better or better off is because of inflation. now the big target the talks about is bringing the pm talks about is bringing down to halve it since down inflation to halve it since the start of the year. maybe 6, 6, 5% by the end of the year. that's the hope and that will make us all feel better. but jeremy people saying jeremy hunts, people are saying today that despite better today that despite this, better than performance in

than expected performance in 2021, the measures he took in after the disastrous mini—budget from kwasi kwarteng still had to take place because of the impact on interest rates then. so it's good news. we're doing better than we thought. we're doing good news. we're doing better than viinthought. we're doing good news. we're doing better than viinthouinternational ing better in the international rankings, the challenges rankings, but the challenges still and there are no still remain and there are no tax any time in the tax cuts planned any time in the short term. the first time we'll see tax as as see tax cuts. as far as i understand it, is in march in a march budget. >> okay. right. we >> okay. all right. well, we await march with bated breath, don't we, see how much don't to we, see how much wealthier all going to wealthier we're all going to feel christopher feel then. christopher hope, thank you very much. gb news political editor. i am a bit sick and tired . look, in broadly sick and tired. look, in broadly speaking, good news. speaking, this is good news. okay, fantastic. the economy's bounced back a bit. ons bounced back a bit. the ons figures wrong . and those figures were wrong. and those people all oh people that were all saying, oh look, than look, we're loads worse than germany france and italy can germany and france and italy can do because it do one, frankly, because it turns out that weren't. it's turns out that we weren't. it's not the time seen not the only time we've seen stuff remember stuff like this. do you remember the ray? oh look, the covid deaths, ray? oh look, more people dying here in more people are dying here in the uk than anywhere else. and we were having a look at it and it out actually it it turned out that actually it was collate was because the way we collate figures meant that could figures meant that you could

never covid. so for never recover from covid. so for a time have a period of time you could have got coronavirus, you could got the coronavirus, you could have and then have got better from it and then jumped out of an aeroplane without and would jumped out of an aeroplane witho been and would jumped out of an aeroplane withobeen recorded and would jumped out of an aeroplane witho been recorded as|d would have been recorded as a coronavirus death. so those figures . but i cannot figures were wrong. but i cannot and not get away from the and will not get away from the fact that the way of massaging our growth this our growth figures in this country to be, by country appears to be, by absolutely us with absolutely engulfing us with mass migration. you at mass migration. when you look at the per capita rate growth , the per capita rate of growth, it is not good and that is not going to continue as long as we keep having the kind of immigration do in this immigration that we do in this country, you can country, in my view. but you can get more this story on get loads more on this story on our gbnews.com. it's our website, gbnews.com. it's the fastest growing national news the country. the fastest growing national nev1 best the country. the fastest growing national nev1 best analysis:ountry. the fastest growing national nev1 best analysis ,iuntry. the fastest growing national nev1best analysis , bigy. the fastest growing national nev1best analysis , big opinion the best analysis, big opinion on latest breaking but on the latest breaking news. but ihave on the latest breaking news. but i have action packed show i have got an action packed show for nation's pe for you. so the nation's pe teacher, joe wicks, remember him? well, he stirred up a debate after taking his five year old daughter out of school. and it comes off the back as well of a slightly different school story, which is that schools are crumbling. that's right. at right. kids lives could be at risk case they're dodgy risk in case they're dodgy concrete building concrete school building crumbles down around them. but it got me thinking should more

parents just turn to home schooling so they don't have to put up with all the woke nonsense our nonsense going on in our education system at the moment? nonsense going on in our eduwe on system at the moment? nonsense going on in our eduwe speaking] at the moment? nonsense going on in our eduwe speaking] at tteacher|ent? are we speaking to a teacher next has taken their next who has also taken their child out of oh, i child out of school? oh, and i will also be exposing the latest complete and utter climate hypocrisy of one of the nation's least favourite luvvie celebs. patrick christys gb

sunday mornings from 930 on news

i >> welcome back. it is 3:23. we are watching and listening to me patrick christys on gb news. now for the first time, junior doctors and consultants are set to strike together in england , to strike together in england, perfectly coinciding with the conservative party conference. surely now we can just agree that this is political, can't we? some of the consultants will be more than £130,000 a year. be on more than £130,000 a year. and more climate hypocrisy as well. this time, british actress emma thompson has been caught out on an italian super yacht. yes that's right. it's such an emergency . see this climate emergency. see this climate crisis that i've got to go on a multi—million pound yacht and have a cracking time. how did she get there as well? i wonder if she flew in or anything. anyway, find but anyway, we'll find out. but schools, what's going on in our schools, what's going on in our schools . the nation's schools. the nation's pe teacher, wicks , kicked off teacher, joe wicks, kicked off a debate after pulling debate this week after pulling his daughter of school, his daughter out of school, opting educate home opting to educate her at home instead. it's no surprise instead. and it's no surprise that are turning to that more people are turning to home schooling. a week home schooling. only a week until the start of term. hundreds schools in england hundreds of schools in england

are of closure after the are at risk of closure after the discovery of potentially deadly concrete in buildings. and that's just the buildings themselves. not to mention the rise of the old woke curriculum with increasingly sexualised content material is making their way into the classroom. it can't be a surprise, surely, that home schooling is becoming an increasingly option? increasingly popular option? i do think it is an absolute disgrace, by the way, that we are about a week away from are now about a week away from the of and parents the start of term, and parents are desperately trying to find out or not the school out whether or not the school building going to send building they're going to send their fall down their kids to might fall down around joining now around them. but joining me now is and digital is home educator and digital creator from devon is karen howden. karen, thank you very much. it's great to have you on the show. look, i've been saying for some time now that i think we're going to see a rise in home schooling for a variety of different . okay. can you different reasons. okay. can you just your your just explain your your situation, your set up for us, please ? please? >> yes, of course. hi. i homeschool my son winter. >> i have three boys of education, age , age.

education, age, age. >> there's a five year old. >> there's a five year old. >> winter is seven. and then jonah is ten. we decided to take winter out last year because we felt that the school wasn't able to give him what we could give him. he is autistic and we felt that he wasn't being provided for academically . for academically. >> and as my husband and i are both qualified teachers , we felt both qualified teachers, we felt that we could support him at home on a 1 to 1 basis, which is really the nub of the problem that we found in school. >> there's just not the support or the funding to do, you know, have that one on one that so many children need. >> i speak to quite a lot of parents who have pulled children out of school for a variety of different reasons, and they say to me that they just fundamentally feel as though they a of a better they can do a bit of a better job. they they found maybe dunng job. they they found maybe during coronavirus pandemic, during the coronavirus pandemic, when homeschooling when they were homeschooling children then and then had children then and then they had a stuff that a look at some of the stuff that they that was they didn't agree with that was maybe them maybe being taught to them in schools as well. and they just

thought that they wanted to take control own children's control of their own children's education. and i think that's quite fascinating development. quite a fascinating development. really >> yeah, absolutely. i mean, everyone got a taster of home schooling during the lockdown. >> and i think for a lot of people it was surprisingly positive that they could spend more time with their children. >> find out more about them and really support them in education. and then there's been this reluctance to back to this reluctance to go back to the old sort of template . the old sort of template. >> i mean, for us, we're a very close family. we all spend all of our time together anyway, and it was a real joy actually being able to homeschool them and we see positives coming out of the sort of the regimen of school being broken away and being able to focus on things that they are passionate about, things that they love, and also know that they love, and also know that they are being educated . they are being educated. >> it's not just about sitting at a desk having a pencil because for our son winter, he

was being, um, he was seen as having behavioural issues. that wasn't the case. he just can't focus for more than 15 minutes. and you know, we are able to bnng and you know, we are able to bring the best out, out of him here at home. >> yeah. and i mean, to be honest, i'm looking at this story now, buildings at 52 schools were risk schools in england were at risk of due to of sudden collapse due to dangerous concrete safety measures have supposedly since been put at those been put in place at those schools were deemed schools which were deemed critical, is not a critical, which is not a particularly nice sentence to read if you're thinking about sending your kids there. more than were than 100 others, which were previously thought to be at less risk have magically become high risk, have magically become high risk. so now parents are trying to figure out whether or not their school is actually going to down around their kids. to fall down around their kids. that's, course, before we've to fall down around their kids. that' got course, before we've to fall down around their kids. that' got coursintoefore we've to fall down around their kids. that' got coursintoefore vioer even got stuck into some of the issues what is being issues about what is being taught those schools as well. taught in those schools as well. i mean, i just can't help but feel as though we completely feel as though we are completely failing an entire generation of kids here. >> i know. >> i know. >> and not only the children, but the parents as well, because the cost of living crisis has put so much pressure on us to

dunng put so much pressure on us to during the summer holidays , go during the summer holidays, go out for these activities that are costing like it would cost our family about £100 to go to the cinema. >> your that's one day out and holidays and all these things and now it's back to school and the pressure to buy new shoes, buy uniform, buy new bags. buy new uniform, buy new bags. >> um, it's all, you know, draining us as well. financially, no , indeed. financially, no, indeed. >> and can i, can i ask a bit, you know, a bit of a personal question, but when it comes to your child , ethan's your own child, ethan's education generally and things, do you do you agree with everything that's being taught to in schools? sometimes? i to them in schools? sometimes? i know we do a lot here on this channel about some of issues channel about some of the issues about , maybe the about children, maybe from the age example , being age of four, for example, being taught know, quite taught about, you know, quite aduh taught about, you know, quite adult themes. people adult themes. and some people have that it's maybe kind have said that it's maybe kind of sexualised version of of the sexualised version of children, etcetera. what's your views on that ? views on that? >> well, i mean, luckily i only have primary school children. i would be more anxious about sort of later education. but, you

know, i was a secondary teacher, so i do know what the curriculum is moving towards . so when my is moving towards. so when my year five son was starting to do sex education and started asking me questions, i did request that that the school provide me with the curriculum so i could see exactly what was being taught because it is worrying that you don't have that control . and i don't have that control. and i suppose that is a benefit of homeschooling, not in the way that we are. you know , here to that we are. you know, here to brainwash our children at home. >> it's like a cult type thing, homeschooling because it's becoming far more embraced in our society. but i do want to keep an eye on what is being taughtin keep an eye on what is being taught in our schools to our children. >> yeah, more power to you, to be honest. and i would argue that it's the reverse of brainwashing, actually. think brainwashing, actually. i think in cases genuinely in many cases it's genuinely just trying to keep them safe. but i really appreciate you coming to you . coming on and good luck to you. and thank you for just discussing the realities for you about and about homeschooling and schooling in general, etcetera. about homeschooling and scikaren| in general, etcetera.

about homeschooling and scikaren howden ral, etcetera. about homeschooling and scikaren howden there, :etera. about homeschooling and scikaren howden there, whoa. about homeschooling and scikaren howden there, who is a as karen howden there, who is a home educator and digital creator from devon. so yeah, look, i got me thinking really when i saw about a combination of schools of stories there about schools crumbling, way, crumbling, which is, by the way, an isn't it, an absolute disgrace, isn't it, that , you know, we've had load that, you know, we've had a load of school because of of kids off school because of the then we've had the coronavirus, then we've had teachers then now teachers strikes and then now they're looking to get to they're looking to get back to school that's before school again. that's before we talked grades . by talked about inflated grades. by the as though some the way, it looks as though some of those schools are going to crumble find crumble and parents can't find out entirely those schools out entirely where those schools are, which i just think is bonkers. what else is going to happen to a generation of children? get in children? but you can get in touch? vaiews@gbnews.com. i've got more coming your way got loads more coming your way between and 4:00 for the between now and 4:00 for the first doctors and first time. junior doctors and consultants in england are planning strike. are planning a joint strike. are they ? yesterday we reported they evil? yesterday we reported about 121,000 people dying whilst on an nhs waiting list and their timing it perfectly for the conservative party conference. this surely is politics. instead of patience. all of that is still to come . all of that is still to come. but right now it is your headunes but right now it is your headlines with news with lisa hartle . it

hartle. it >> it's just after 3:30. i'm lisa hartle in the newsroom . yet lisa hartle in the newsroom. yet more schools across the uk may be forced to close due to a particular kind of concrete that's prone to sudden collapse. abbey lane primary in sheffield is one of many to be affected , is one of many to be affected, reportedly undergoing work to replace aerated concrete in part of its buildings . direct lane of its buildings. direct lane direct line will pay £30 million in compensation to customers who have been overcharged when renewing their insurance. the company admitted to an error in implementing new pricing rules, which came into effect at the start of last year. the financial conduct authority brought in the new rules to protect existing customers from being quoted higher prices than new customers . rail passengers new customers. rail passengers are facing disruption as another wave of strikes begins brings some services across the country to a standstill . members of the

to a standstill. members of the aslef union are staging a 24 hour walkout, leaving many trains without drivers. the rail delivery group describes the strike as unnecessary , but the strike as unnecessary, but the union says the government is refusing to make a reasonable pay refusing to make a reasonable pay offer. you can get more on all of those stories by visiting our website gbnews.com . direct our website gbnews.com. direct bullion sponsors. >> the finance report on news for gold and silver investment . for gold and silver investment. >> here's a quick snapshot of today's markets . the pound will today's markets. the pound will buy you 1.26, six, $2 and ,1.1679. the price of gold is. one £1,533.88 per ounce. and the ftse 100 is at 7480 points. direct bullion sponsors the finance report on gb news for gold and silver investors don't.

low cloud as we start off the weekend, some fog as well and the low cloud and fog will take some time. certainly a few hours dunng some time. certainly a few hours during the morning to lift out. eventually it will lift, it will break up. there'll still be a few showers across parts of england and wales during saturday, scotland and saturday, drier for scotland and northern ireland, but the showers later and it's showers disappear later and it's going be warm some mid 20s in going to be warm some mid 20s in the south, for example. then heading into sunday, a bit of cloud and rain across the north and northwest of scotland, a keen breeze here, but elsewhere, plenty more of that sunshine and the sunny skies develop widely. on monday and tuesday. as that happens, temperature rise looks like things are heating up. >> box boilers, proud sponsors of weather on . of weather on. gb news. >> well, for the first time in the history of the health service, junior doctors and

consults are to strike together members of the british medical association will walk off the job this month and next after voting to continue strikes. but the nhs has called it a serious escalation in the union's row, with the government over pay and conditions , saying it will be an conditions, saying it will be an unprecedented challenge for the health service. well, of course there will be an unprecedented challenge service challenge for the health service because of because you've got loads of people i people downing tools, but i don't about you . i was don't know about you. i was initially a scared about all initially a bit scared about all of this because i thought the timing of it is interesting, isn't it? it's going to coincide with conservative party conference, which makes it seem to is overtly to me like this is overtly political. i'm also reading here on government website most on the government website most eligible will receive at eligible doctors will receive at least a 6% pay rise, pay for junior doctors will be increased by around 8.8. by an average of around 8.8. consult agents earn around £135,000 a year. but i went out and about a little bit earlier to on talk to some patients and a couple of staff as well outside a local hospital to see

whether or not they thought it was right for junior doctors and consultants to strike. at the same time, something has to be done. >> yeah, i think there should have been out long enough. every other strike they've done, nothing's really happened for them. so they need some help somehow. really striking somehow. so really striking needs isn't it ? needs to be done, isn't it? >> no, definitely not. well, why not? >> i think they should stage it and stagger it by because they're putting everybody at risk and relying very heavily on the registrar and the other staff to carry the load for them. >> okay. and i don't think that's right . that's right. >> if you're prioritising patient safety , maybe not. on patient safety, maybe not. on the other hand, you'll have a bigger impact for their cause. so we should have the service , so we should have the service, we should maintain the service at all times. >> so we couldn't have both seniors and juniors out at the same time. i don't think it's . same time. i don't think it's. >> yeah, well, there we go. i thought it was fascinating, though, to hear a bloke in scrubs there . who told me that

scrubs there. who told me that he was a junior doctor saying that if you're prioritising patient going on patient safety, then going on strike alongside consultants is not the right thing to do. so surely they're not prioritising patient safety . doctor robert patient safety. doctor robert lefevre, who is a nhs doctor for 17 years, joins me now live. robert, thank you very, very much. and do support much. and do you support these strikes ? strikes? >> no, i don't. >> i think that medical practise is a vocation and we should never go on strike. >> inevit notably harms patients i >> -- >> the issue of money is one of whether junior doctors are appropriately paid . appropriately paid. >> when i was what's now a level one doctor, i earned £3,000 a yeah one doctor, i earned £3,000 a year. that's the equivalent of about 10,000 now. and i lived in the hospital till i got out for two weekends in the entire six months and i was married and i had a child . had a child. >> but i learned my trade. i was

working all hours at god made and it was good for me to learn my trade . my trade. >> and that's how i did it. so i think there are two issues. one is, are our doctors well paid ? is, are our doctors well paid? and i think the term junior doctor is a misnomer because some of these junior doctors are in their 40s. and anybody who is less than a consultant as a junior doctor. so i think we need a better term for that. but it's used politically nowadays . it's used politically nowadays. a junior doctor and the requirements to have more money is universal. everybody wants more money, but we have to be aware that the country cannot afford to pay everybody. absolutely everything that they demand . demand. >> no. and do you think that the timing of this is both catastrophic and political? because yesterday i reported on 120,000 people dying whilst on nhs waiting lists and today

obviously it's emerged that they're going to be striking right for conservative right in time for conservative party conference and holding a demonstration , i believe demonstration, i believe in manchester, where the manchester, which is where the conservative conference is conservative party conference is . so if you cared about patients this, you probably wouldn't be on strike. is this just an attempt to try to bring down a government ? well, i care about patients. >> i i've seen a patient already today. >> i i've seen a patient already today . i don't work as a gp today. i don't work as a gp anymore. i work as a counsellor and i charge for my time , which and i charge for my time, which is perfectly reasonable . and i is perfectly reasonable. and i think it's perfectly reasonable that doctors should charge for their time. but when you get a situation where doctors are holding the country to ransom, holding the country to ransom, holding patients to ransom, i don't think that's right. >> no, indeed. and i'm having a look at the pay scale here for junior doctors . and, you know, junior doctors. and, you know, it is obviously , by definition, it is obviously, by definition, a sliding scale that can start at around . £28,800 and work all

at around. £28,800 and work all the way up as far as i can see here from the notes from university college london anyway, to around 68 grand consultants, as you will know, can be on around £130,000 a year plus . i'm can be on around £130,000 a year plus. i'm just not sure that it's right to strike if you're on 130 odd thousand pounds a year and you know that there's a massive nhs backlog. well the strike movement is a political movement. >> if you look at the pay of, you know , train drivers or tube you know, train drivers or tube train drivers, they earn a lot more than doctors . and one could more than doctors. and one could say, well, they're more likely to kill people than doctors . but to kill people than doctors. but i don't think that's true. if you look at the mortality rate in canada, some years ago, when the doctors did go on strike, the doctors did go on strike, the mortality rate went down. well how about that? i don't think the canadian doctors should be going on strike again very quickly if they publicise that.

>> so that is fascinating. so as far as you're aware, in canada , far as you're aware, in canada, when doctors went on strike, fewer people died, which is an interesting aside to this particular discussion . and i particular discussion. and i suppose what would your message to be people who are striking ? to be people who are striking? because i just to be honest, i'm on the side of patience . right? on the side of patience. right? and that's that's where i am. and that's that's where i am. and there are millions of patients, everybody conceivably , their lives , at some point in their lives will patient. i'm on will be an nhs patient. i'm on the the millions of the side of the millions of people who on an nhs waiting people who are on an nhs waiting list the government has list and when the government has offered a pay rise that offered them a pay rise that will work out as an average of around 8.8% for junior doctors mean , what would your message be mean, what would your message be to those people who are going to go strike in october for 8.8? go on strike in october for 8.8? >> is more than most people are getting ? my message is consider getting? my message is consider the patients. consider the patients, consider the patients , get back to work . , get back to work. >> okay. short and sweet. all right, robert, thank you very, very much. it's robert lefevre there is nhs doctor for there who is an nhs doctor for 17 certainly not his

17 years. he's certainly not his words when it comes to the doctors strike. let me know what you think. vaiews@gbnews.com. for what it's worth, it is possible to hold two views at the same time, which is that doctors should receive the exact pay doctors should receive the exact pay demands that they want, but they also still should not be going on strike. i've done a few of these little vox pops in the course of my time here at gb news around doctor strikes news now around doctor strikes and today was the first time that overwhelming that the absolute overwhelming majority of including majority of people, including doctors that i spoke to, were telling me that they do not think it's right that they go on strike at the same time, consultants and junior doctors. but coming up, more climate hypocrisy. this time british actress emma thompson has been called out on an italian super yacht. yes, that's right. we will be discussing whether or not luvvy celebrities need to just shut up about climate change. patrick christie's gb news britain's

britain's new. channel >> welcome back. >> welcome back. >> it is 346. you are watching and listening to patrick christys on gb news. still to come this afternoon , as you were come this afternoon, as you were heanng come this afternoon, as you were hearing junior doctors and consultants striking together in england coinciding england perfectly coinciding with party conference. are with tory party conference. are they putting politics above . they putting politics above. patients? we'll have a big debate on that actually, that will heated . will probably get quite heated. but though, talking but now, though, talking of things heated, climate things getting heated, climate protesters, they've struck protesters, yes, they've struck again. time interrupting a again. this time interrupting a performance of romeo and juliet at london's sadler's wells

theatre, demanding an end to the theatre's partnership with barclays . oh, yes. the people barclays. oh, yes. the people had no idea what had hit them. it comes as more climate hypocrisy has been on display , hypocrisy has been on display, courtesy of actress and eco warrior emma thompson, who's been spotted cruising around on a and just don't spit your coffee out on this £200 million super yacht in venice. yeah, that's right. and that's also actually, ironically , owned by actually, ironically, owned by the billionaire guy who co—founded fox news as well , co—founded fox news as well, which of course, is not, i would have thought, very eco loving is it for her. but it's not the first time that she's been caught being a hypocrite caught out being a hypocrite over climate action. after racking up thousands of air miles flying from los angeles to london to join an extinction rebellion demonstrators march. you could not make this stuff up. i mean, i've also got stories here about leonardo dicaprio , you know, mr dicaprio, you know, mr environment. mean , i actually environment. i mean, i actually like him for his acting work, but about but he starts banging on about the start

the climate and he's start having at amount of having a look at the amount of private takes or private jets that he takes or the amount that he's private jets that he takes or the a on.|nt that he's private jets that he takes or the a on. prince that he's private jets that he takes or the a on. prince toft he's been on. prince harry, of course, famously, course, wants quite famously, was a was reported to have taken a private jet from a polo match at man of the people, man the man of the people, man of the people. i am asking our people. but i am asking our celebrity climate activists, complete and utter total frothing hypocrites. and joining me now reality star and me now is reality star and commentator narinder kaur narinda. thank you very much for joining . do you think that joining me. do you think that luvvie up luvvie celebs should shut up about climate ? about the climate? >> no, i don't. >> i don't. this faux outrage over this alleged hypocrisy just because she's gone on this super yacht, which, by the way, just correct me if i'm is correct me if i'm wrong, is there saying on this yacht there not saying on this yacht so it can be powered by wind, which i thought very eco friendly. >> now, what is emma meant to do, live in cave just because do, live in a cave just because she does one thing doesn't make her hypocrite . she's just her a hypocrite. she's just living it doesn't living a life. but it doesn't change just because you think she's a hypocrite. it doesn't change the climate crisis. she's still about that. still right about that. >> there? because if >> but is she there? because if it was such an emergency, an absolute out and out emergency , absolute out and out emergency, i wouldn't be getting on private

jets. wouldn't flying jets. i wouldn't be flying anywhere. wouldn't be going anywhere. i wouldn't be going jet the world. i jet setting around the world. i wouldn't be going on gas guzzling such guzzling yachts if it was such an emergency. looks to me an emergency. it looks to me a bit like she's telling poor little people lives little people that their lives need impacted on, her need to be impacted on, but her and pound and her multi—million pound mates can just do what they like. >> no, i don't think it does look like that at all. i think that she's still sending the correct message out. like i just asked before , was this not asked you before, was this not a yacht sails that is powered yacht with sails that is powered by ? and we don't even know by wind? and we don't even know if the diesel if it's bio bio diesel . so it if the diesel if it's bio bio diesel. so it might be more friendly. i think just because she holiday she does one little holiday on some doesn't make her a some yacht doesn't make her a hypocrite. actually, she's she's probably doing behind the scenes what she's trying to do. for example, i'm a fan of ulez. i got of my car. so therefore got rid of my car. so therefore good on me. however, i just came back mexico on flight. back from mexico on a flight. does make me massive does that make me a massive hypocrite? it just means that hypocrite? no it just means that i am doing my bit. she's doing her bit. it doesn't make her wrong crisis . it wrong about climate crisis. it doesn't make her a hypocrite . i doesn't make her a hypocrite. i think she's entitled to spend

her money how she wants and still give the message across about climate crisis. >> but do you not think the message is completely lost? if you're the person you're looking at the person giving message and giving you that message and you think footprint giving you that message and you thiniprobably footprint giving you that message and you thiniprobably be footprint giving you that message and you thiniprobably be the footprint giving you that message and you thiniprobably be the same print giving you that message and you thiniprobably be the same asnt giving you that message and you thiniprobably be the same as a will probably be the same as a small country ? small country? >> no, i don't, because actually i think this is one. she's not living on this yacht. she's not living on this yacht. she's not living a on this. that's living a life on this. that's the she's she's jetted >> she's not she's jetted into it, not. it, but she's not. >> that's just once . >> yes, but that's just once. you don't know what she's doing behind the scenes, living her life to daily help with the environment. >> we've an indication , >> we've got an indication, haven't strong haven't we? i've got a strong indication the way that indication about the way that she her life behind she lives her life behind the scenes, we've also seen she lives her life behind the sce|fly we've also seen she lives her life behind the sce|fly in we've also seen she lives her life behind the sce|fly in first we've also seen she lives her life behind the sce|fly in first classve also seen she lives her life behind the sce|fly in first class to also seen she lives her life behind the sce|fly in first class to sito seen she lives her life behind the sce|fly in first class to sit on sen her fly in first class to sit on an extinction rebellion march . an extinction rebellion march. some of the other that some of the other people that are on this boat as well. i'm just having a little look out now, you know, joining emma just having a little look out norboard know, joining emma just having a little look out norboard the w, joining emma just having a little look out norboard the boat.1ing emma just having a little look out norboard the boat. other emma on board the boat. other american celebrities is you've got diane sawyer , candice got diane sawyer, candice bergen. it paints a picture of somebody who is a high roller living the glitterati lifestyle that frankly, is doing more to damage the environment than

somebody who just drives into a ulez zone every day. no, i disagree, patrick. >> i think that people really voices like are needed to send that message across. it doesn't make it wrong about climate crisis just because she's had one holiday. just because you mentioned these other names, it doesn't them hypocrites. doesn't make them hypocrites. and to be going and also, you seem to be going down this line that, oh, they're these socialists. down this line that, oh, they're these little socialists. down this line that, oh, they're these little people, sts. down this line that, oh, they're these little people, what to do. >> she was actually pictured drinking champagne, which is quite well, so lots quite funny. yeah well, so lots of can drink champagne. of people can drink champagne. >> actually, can be >> actually, they can be drinking. and still be drinking. prosecco and still be doing need for doing what they need to for the environment like environment. but i still like to think doing my little think i'm doing my little bit. it's thompson's entire it's not emma thompson's entire responsibility for climate change. she's one individual. we shouldn't be pitting the entire climate crisis against one individual, but it's a it's a general thing, though, isn't it, as well. >> you know, you look at prince harry and we talk about this carbon offsetting and stuff, and now suggest now reports come out to suggest that is just that carbon offsetting is just a complete myth so idea complete myth. so this idea that you private jets and you can get on private jets and it's always, all right, i've offset it by planting a few trees amazon rainforest,

trees in the amazon rainforest, apparently it's just complete tosh basically. there's tosh, basically. so there's no real point doing any that. real point doing any of that. leonardo this is just a leonardo dicaprio this is just a few weeks ago. you know , i'm few weeks ago. you know, i'm looking here. he's a noted looking at it here. he's a noted climate , boarded climate activist, boarded a plane private airport. it's plane at a private airport. it's got private jet terminal got his own private jet terminal for travellers . it comes for wealthy travellers. it comes as he between us and as he travelled between us and cities such as london, milan and paris over recent months . paris over recent months. accumulating 12,000 air miles worth of travel. but, you know, but tell me more. tell me more. leo about the end of the world. you know , but, but, but he's you know, but, but, but he's still using his voice for the right message. >> what's he supposed to do , >> what's he supposed to do, live in a cave and not travel? he's like that to everything. patrick he can't do everything . patrick he can't do everything. he's doing what he can do more. well he's not narinder. >> he's obviously not doing what he can, is he? if he's getting on jet, of he's on private jet, of course he's doing he's a superstar. >> he can't just get on an economy flight . he's still >> he can't just get on an economy flight. he's still using his voice . his voice. >> he's mine. you don't believe this stuff. you're saying i,

agency did confirm to us that they were duplicates of files that they already had. so it wasn't affect their wasn't going to affect their investigation into historical abuse in the town up to 2013, which is called operation stovewood. but gb news in the last month has seen more concern , evidence of files being held in private hands , not in the in private hands, not in the hands of the state, circulating in that way. that have not yet been returned to the council . been returned to the council. and it's been alleged by a whistleblower who contacted gb news they made news last month that they made contact with the council on august 10th. and we've seen the phone confirming that phone logs confirming that contact and that a senior manager in data and the management of files within the council confirmed something management of files within the counci be ynfirmed something management of files within the counci be done ed something management of files within the counci be done to something management of files within the counci be done to collect mething management of files within the counci be done to collect these 1g would be done to collect these further files. but then nothing has happened. now these files are extremely we've are extremely sensitive. we've reviewed some of them and they contain about victims contain details about victims names, perpetrators , names, names, perpetrators, names, ages, schools , operational ages, schools, operational details about the way perpetrators were acting when they're being researched on, and they're being researched on, and they go back to 1999. and we don't know at this stage if these files relate to active and

ongoing investigations. we don't know if they're missing. we don't know they're duplicates don't know if they're duplicates . that . but we do know is that allegedly this whistleblower brought them to the attention of the council and nothing has yet been but i mean, for been done. yeah, but i mean, for years, predominantly british, pakistani and british, bangladeshi gangs were able to groom and abuse most any young working class , vulnerable white working class, vulnerable white girls on an industrial scale and get away with it . get away with it. >> then there was a quite large scale cover up, whether it was through a lot of the media to whether it was through politicians, whether it was through whatever. and then now it looks as though maybe they're being let down again. >> the concern obviously, >> so the concern obviously, is that this accusation that there was this accusation of cover failures during of cover up and failures during this period and survivors i've spoken to have suggested that they fearing that the same they are fearing that the same thing on now, thing is going on now, that they're being let down again. when reached out to rotherham when i reached out to rotherham council about this second batch of they that they of files that they say that they haven't they actually haven't seen, they actually reached out with a statement

grooming gangs in this country. i am sick and tired of it being swept under the carpet. there were numerous instances, telford being the obvious one, which was at time britain's largest at the time britain's largest ever grooming gang scam idol. and you had to search long and hard on the websites of various different mainstream broadcasters just to find any mention of it, just to find any mention of it, just to find any mention of it at all. then there are community cover ups from certain demographics that do decide that they don't want that broadcast cry broadcast about them. they cry racism sometimes it is racism sometimes when it is mentioned , and that mentioned, and that unfortunately the overrepresent nation, you could say, of british, pakistani and british, bangladeshi men when it comes to grooming gangs, right across the country , i just don't really country, i just don't really feel like we're ever going to get to the bottom of it, especially when it comes to a lack of political will to highlight as well. highlight this issue as well. they the matter too they deem the matter to be too sensitive . well, i can now speak sensitive. well, i can now speak with the and founder of with the ceo and founder of freedom marilyn freedom from abuse, marilyn hawes. thank you very, hawes. marilyn thank you very, very . it would be very very much. it would be very convenient for a people

it. >> you cannot you cannot just just deny it. >> it's down anyway there where you are, a coastal town , that's you are, a coastal town, that's where they head for. >> and then coming up, the routes coming up through the railways and the networks and it is everywhere. and as i say, it's now embedded in our society. what kind of things? i don't know to how get rid of it. >> what kind of things should people for? people be looking out for? because it is, in my people be looking out for? becalanyway, it is, in my people be looking out for? becalanyway, probably;, in my people be looking out for? becalanyway, probably goingy people be looking out for? becalanyway, probably going on view, anyway, probably going on basically everywhere . and so basically everywhere. and so what kind of things should people for? what kind of things should peoyou're for? what kind of things should peoyou're looking for? what kind of things should peoyou're looking for taxis that >> you're looking for taxis that rock up at places and hang around because the taxi drivers are part of this as well. you've got the people who are the procurers, you've got the hook, those are the people that are hooking the children in. it might even be someone in their own class. might be a own class. it might be a neighbour , it might be member neighbour, it might be a member of then you've got of the family. then you've got the the coordinators , the people, the coordinators, they are the people who are transporting these children. very drivers may be very often taxi drivers may be taking them to hotels and they need to be asking questions. why

is that child not allowed to talk? >> why has that child got no money? >> why has that child got no mo why does that child look 13 >> why does that child look 13 but dressed up as 16? >> all these questions . but >> all these questions. but people want to keep their people just want to keep their blinkers the government, >> and as for the government, don't get me started, because with all the people, not all the people, absolutely people, that's absolutely nonsense. . but nonsense. marilyn, be quiet. but some the people that have some of the people that have come in on these been come in on these boats have been paid for by exploitation gangs , paid for by exploitation gangs, albanians, people like that, that are now again operating this across the uk and the government fails misery badly. where there is anything to do with the child abuse of children and it is outrageous and there is no excuse for denying it every time it's anything, it's the elephant in the room , the elephant in the room, elephant in the room, and it just it is sickening of the nexus. what is it doing to these children ? how are they ever, ever? >> well, it destroys lives . it >> well, it destroys lives. it absolutely, completely , utterly absolutely, completely, utterly destroys lives. and too all often, the children, the children who victims of children who are the victims of this are already a vulnerable this are already in a vulnerable situation , whether they're in

situation, whether they're in care have care or whether they maybe have certain and certain issues themselves. and so it was already going to be incredibly difficult for them to go live a normal life , go on and live a normal life, let having live through let alone having to live through years of this kind of abuse, then believed by then not be believed by authorities who in many cases felt as though they were lower than the low and that it wasn't worth then to have worth it then to have politicians cover up politicians try to cover it up as well. to media as well. then to have the media tries to cover it up as well. and once abuses are and then once their abuses are released some released from prison, in some cases serving cases after serving just a couple years , then they're couple of years, then they're released back into their local communities and they to communities and they have to look eye the look them in the eye at the shops and they're being let down time and time again. >> is, patrick, >> and the trouble is, patrick, if the parents asked to move, say, because mean they will wait , if the gangs know that somebody that they've got involved is in prison, involved in is in prison, they'll find out where that prison is. >> they'll find the day >> they'll find out the day they're going to released. >> they'll find out the day theythejoing to released. >> they'll find out the day theythe sameto released. >> they'll find out the day theythe same thingreleased. >> they'll find out the day theythe same thing startszd. >> they'll find out the day theythe same thing starts again. and the same thing starts again. i know of 18 year old girl. i know of an 18 year old girl. she 40, up north. bless she was 40, 18 up north. bless her heart, actually, from a very nice . it's just nice family. and it's not just the that are at the wrong the kids that are at the wrong side of the tracks . it's just

news channel. will welcome back , everybody. welcome back, everybody. >> patrick christys here on gb news. it is 424 now. patients before politics. is that what's going on here? that appears to be the message that doctors and consultants seem to be sending as they team up to strike, which coincides perfectly , by the way, coincides perfectly, by the way, with the conservative party conference. that's still conference. so that's all still to come. but as we were discussing a little bit earlier on, the nation's pe teacher joe wicks has sparked a debate after pulling his daughter out of school , opting to educate her at school, opting to educate her at home instead . it was interesting home instead. it was interesting because from from what i could see reading a couple reports see reading a couple of reports on , was talking on this, he was talking about, you pe physical education you know, pe physical education in thought , in schools. and i thought, forgive that really the forgive me, is that really the reason i'm not doubting him by the way. wondering the way. i'm just wondering whether not that is really the way. i'm just wondering whe reason, not that is really the way. i'm just wondering whereason, because is really the way. i'm just wondering whe reason, because a really the way. i'm just wondering whe reason, because a lot lly the way. i'm just wondering whe reason, because a lot of the reason, because a lot of schools and a lot of school children do sports activities , children do sports activities, you know, after school. so he's not necessarily just about the quality education in quality of physical education in school, is it? i wondered if there was maybe a little bit more and when you more to it. and then when you think it, it's no wonder

think about it, it's no wonder really, more more really, that more and more parents to home parents are turning to home schooling. just days before schooling. so just days before the new term starts , hundreds of the new term starts, hundreds of schools are at risk of closure after the discovery of potentially deadly concrete in buildings. now, i should say that the concrete is not like asbestos. it's not going to be poisoning kids, apparently, but supposedly just supposedly it can just just crumble . okay. so after about 30 crumble. okay. so after about 30 years, which is now coming up to it can just crumble. so buildings may well fall apart. also, similar stuff taking place in hospitals . schools as well in hospitals. schools as well does lead you to wonder whether or not britain's infrastructure really actually crumbling. or not britain's infrastructure realiold actually crumbling. or not britain's infrastructure realiold broken.y crumbling. or not britain's infrastructure realiold broken britain 3ling. or not britain's infrastructure realiold broken britain trope, the old broken britain trope, but crumbling buildings come but the crumbling buildings come on rise as well . it's on top of the rise as well. it's something i would argue is in a way just as concerning possibly more concerning, which is the woke curriculums and the increasingly ized increasingly sexual ized materials making their way into classrooms. this is a massive problem for me and something that i think will lead to a huge rise schooling , which is rise in home schooling, which is that send their that when children send their kids want kids off to school, they want them learn a bit of maths, them to learn a bit of maths,

you know, learn a bit of english, maybe a smattering of french, some art, do a little bit pe , all of that kind of bit of pe, all of that kind of stuff. be wouldn't stuff. it'd be nice, wouldn't it, bit history, it, to know a bit about history, but all often feel but, but all too often they feel as they are being taught as though they are being taught from young age from a very, very young age about things lgbtiq issues about things like lgbtiq issues and not just simply in the way of saying, look, you know, let's not bully people who are different. let's not do that kind but actually kind of thing. but actually being shown quite graphic material which appears to teach them how to have of certain types of sex, including things to do with bondage, say , or more to do with bondage, say, or more extreme forms of it. and people saying, well, i don't really want my child to be going through that. and then when parents push back on, i don't really want my six year old to be attending a pride event at school , for example. then they school, for example. then they get called a bigot. and then i think well , get called a bigot. and then i think well, some other get called a bigot. and then i think well , some other people get called a bigot. and then i thinias well, some other people get called a bigot. and then i thinias though some other people get called a bigot. and then i thinias though the|e other people get called a bigot. and then i thinias though the wayher people get called a bigot. and then i thinias though the way the people feel as though the way the history is taught in schools is going awry as well going a little bit awry as well . they're looking at and . they're looking at it and thinking, know, do i thinking, well, you know, do i really my child who may really want my child who may

well be white working class to be walking around being told that they have of things to apologise for and that there's all of that stuff going on. should children actually be taught about critical race theory? i know that that gets a lot people going, so i think lot of people going, so i think you're and you're going to see more and more their more people pulling their children schools and children out of schools and indeed, just basically , you indeed, just basically, you know, trying to take control of their own children's education. i also do think in the current age as well, with a huge amount i also do think in the current agonlineall, with a huge amount i also do think in the current agonline resources huge amount i also do think in the current agonline resources and e amount i also do think in the current agonline resources and otheryunt of online resources and other ways of keeping children connected with other kids, that isn't to be the worst isn't going to be the worst thing the world. let know, thing in the world. let me know, though, you though, what you think. do you think should be think that actually we should be having more schooled kids? having more home schooled kids? i that fundamentally, having more home schooled kids? i the that fundamentally, having more home schooled kids? i the tithe :undamentally, having more home schooled kids? i the tithe issue nentally, having more home schooled kids? i the tithe issue of 1tally, having more home schooled kids? i the tithe issue of these by the way, the issue of these crumbling an absolute crumbling schools is an absolute disgrace. i mean, so 100 schools now believed to be urgent. now are believed to be urgent. risk is just on the cusp of the start of a new school year. so what's the other side of this that well see that you see? well you see children early children who had their early years interrupted children who had their early yea coronavirus interrupted children who had their early yea coronavirus . interrupted children who had their early yea coronavirus . justiterrupted children who had their early yea coronavirus . just thinkyted the coronavirus. just think about primary school about those primary school children now who maybe or about those primary school ciyears1 now who maybe or about those primary school ciyears oldn who maybe or about those primary school ciyears old when maybe or about those primary school ciyears old when covid maybe or about those primary school ciyears old when covid first 3e or 7 years old when covid first hit. and they had the best part

of two years out of school , very of two years out of school, very little they little socialising. they couldn't even really see relatives. in some cases relatives. and in some cases they just actively they were actually just actively terrified as well, weren't they? so bejesus out of so you scared the bejesus out of them they've had them and then now they've had strikes and then now they're being told they can't go to being told that they can't go to school crumbling. school because it's crumbling. i do find it absolutely staggering. i'm going now staggering. i'm going to go now to at saint to executive head at saint thomas. the apostle school in london suffi surge. thank london surged suffi surge. thank you very much. great have you you very much. great to have you on show. oh okay. apologies. on the show. oh okay. apologies. we apparently we've lost surge . we apparently we've lost surge. so there go. oh, well, there so there we go. oh, well, there we have to try and we go. we'll have to try and come surge point come back to surge at some point very, shortly . but yes, very, very shortly. but yes, there lot more coming your there is a lot more coming your way between now and 5 pm. it's our great strike debate as doctors and consultants team up to strike during the conservative party conference. are they putting politics over our patients? that's what i want to know as well. plus, how much would you pay for the perfect proposal ? it's become would you pay for the perfect proposal? it's become big business. i will speak to one proposal business shortly . so proposal business shortly. so blokes are now probably not just blokes, but blokes mainly are

paying blokes, but blokes mainly are paying thousands of pounds , not paying thousands of pounds, not just for the ring, to not go on houday just for the ring, to not go on holiday and propose on some beach, not for a nice fancy meal, for not all of that stuff. no. they are paying somebody to tell how to propose. so i tell them how to propose. so i want to know from you. vaiews@gbnews.com how did you propose ? how were you proposed propose? how were you proposed to and whether or not you think it would have benefited our situation from paying somebody thousands of pounds in order to give you a bit of advice about how to essentially get down on one knee? keir starmer i think could teach you very easily, couldn't he? how to get down on one knee. but are we talking about that very about all of that very, very shortly? after shortly? when i come back after the news with lisa hartle . it's the news with lisa hartle. it's half past four. >> i'm lisa hartle in the newsroom. more schools could be forced to close because of concrete that's prone to sudden collapse. abbey lane primary in sheffield is one of over 150in

hashim ezzuddin in february 2022. i believe . will hollis is 2022. i believe. will hollis is now available for us. well, thank you very much. what's the latest, please ? latest, please? >> yes, well, this is a case that has grabbed the attention of the british media as well as into national media. there are journalists from across the world here today, but that breaking news that we've just had in is that mahek bukhari , had in is that mahek bukhari, famous for appearing on tiktok videos, beauty , tea, lifestyle . videos, beauty, tea, lifestyle. she has just been given 31 years in eight months for the murder of saqib hussain , as well as his of saqib hussain, as well as his friend mohammed hashim aijazuddin , her mum as well, who aijazuddin, her mum as well, who was also found guilty of murder and shireen bukhari sentenced to 26 years and nine months. there are more sentenced viewers coming in as we speak here from leicester crown court. that's because they did not act alone

in the killings that took the lives of two young men. 21 year olds on the a46 way back . in olds on the a46 way back. in february 2022. we are still waiting for more sentences for reece . jamal rekan karwan also reece. jamal rekan karwan also guilty of murder as well as ghulam mustafa , amirjamal. ghulam mustafa, amir jamal. natasha akhtar. they're guilty of manslaughter. this has gnpped of manslaughter. this has gripped so many people for so long. it's been a long running case.it long. it's been a long running case. it seems to have gripped people for patrick because of the nature of who mahek bukhari was, or at least thought she was appearing on the social media platform, tiktok as well as youtube, youtube , sharing youtube, youtube, sharing details of her life. also sharing the spotlight with her mum, answering . bukhari in one mum, answering. bukhari in one quite infamous tiktok video. now

it was captioned from mahek bukhari. she she described sharing an elite relationship with her mum. of course, now what they share is the label of murderers, and now they will share for nearly 60 years in prison before they can receive parole . for 120,000 followers on parole. for 120,000 followers on tiktok. was what mahek bukhari started with before this awful murder happened in february 2022. patrick is now more than 10,000 more for people that have chosen to follow her particular tiktok account. arguably not because of her personality or because of her personality or because of her beauty tips. of course, they are looking back to try and make sense of who this person is and why they became quite a sinister murderer. the crime, of course, for killing saqib hussain, luring him and

his friend to their deaths at a tesco car park more than a year ago . it was, of course, because ago. it was, of course, because of an affair that they were trying to cover up, answering bukhan trying to cover up, answering bukhari as well as mr hussain, an affair that had been going on for three years. of course , for three years. of course, there was details of blackmail and mr hussain was trying to claim back money that was spent dunng claim back money that was spent during the relationship . £3,000 during the relationship. £3,000 worth. that is where the bucha decided to set the young men up , saying that they would give the money back . but of course the money back. but of course they were waiting as well as their accomplices . that their accomplices. that leicester car park more than a year ago . and that is what year ago. and that is what ultimately to led their deaths. they were rammed off of the road in an incident that crushed split their car in two, ultimately killing them instantly. but a fire that started burnt out those vehicles . it is a case that has caught a lot of attention and there weren't even enough seats for

the amount of media and family that were here today at leicester crown court. and we are still waiting for those last few sentences . this is few sentences. this is ultimately the end of justice, but there is a long running process here as these people go towards spending a long life behind behind bars. but we also need to remember the effect that will happen to the families also . so a life sentence for losing their loved ones in such a horrific way. >> patrick well, thank you very much, will hollis our east midlands reporter, just giving you that breaking news, right? so the summer of public sector discontent continues with railway workers walking off the job, junior doctors and consultants had to strike together for the first time. but members medical members of the british medical association will stage industrial month and industrial action this month and next in the disputes over government pay deals . now the government pay deals. now the nhs says it will be an unprecedented challenge for the health service. i think the people that are being forgotten in actually in all of this is actually the patients, might

patients, but whilst those might have a right to strike, it is good old joe public isn't it? that will have to find another way to work or in this that will have to find another way as to work or in this that will have to find another way as well» work or in this that will have to find another way as well to ork or in this that will have to find another way as well to getor in this that will have to find another way as well to get care,this that will have to find another way as well to get care, get case as well to get care, get treatment . am i right in asking treatment. am i right in asking do we think is it right to strike? we've got a range of views on this now. let's speak now to barrister and former nurse rebecca butler. we've got human campaigner fraser human rights campaigner fraser mclean and trade unionist rob williams. great stuff. a full panel here. i will with panel here. i will start with you, rebecca. so barrister, former nurse , are they right to former nurse, are they right to strike the junior doctors and the consultants at the same time ? >> 7- >> no, i 7— >> no, i don't 7 >> no, i don't think ? >> no, i don't think they 7 >> no, i don't think they are, and i think they've lost the pubuc and i think they've lost the public sympathy as well because we are struggling with increasing waiting lists following the pandemic and following the pandemic and following the pandemic and following the lockdowns during the pandemic. following the lockdowns during the pandemic . and the nhs just the pandemic. and the nhs just cannot afford for people to lose their elective surgery slots. sometimes people wait 3 to 5 years for life changing orthopaedic surgery , for orthopaedic surgery, for example, and to be told that

their elective surgery is going to be cancelled must be absolutely devastating for them. i think that doctors have have really got to remember that first, do no harm is what they're required to do to do. that's what we pay them to do. and i'm afraid they are harming people. of course, they have a right to strike, patrick. nobody is saying they don't, but their demands are so unreasonable that that, you know, we are facing military militant action for a very, very long time . very, very long time. >> all right, fraser, i can see you shaking your head there, especially about the idea that their demands being their demands are being unreasonable. £130,000 a year. would you go on strike that ? >> well 7- >> well , 7_ >> well , the 7 >> well , the junior doctors >> well, the junior doctors don't want £130,000 a year. >> but i mean, it's a nasty debate because it villainizes a very, very important part of the, you know, the civil society . i think the points about the backlogs and poor service are

very, very relevant. but the strike is happening as a consequence of the same causes. you know, how many more deaths will there be if all the junior doctors head off to australia where work for a few where they can work for a few hours earn double hours and ask and earn double the money? and keep in mind, they're asking 100% they're not asking for an 100% increase. for increase. they're asking for a third of that. you know, it'd be it'd be are not it'd be about are they not asking a for a health asking for a for a for a health care that they care system, though, that they would activists in this would the activists in this country would ban us from having a partly private , partly public a partly private, partly public healthcare system ? healthcare system? >> i mean, that's one of the reasons, fraser, isn't it? why in australia they do that ? in australia they can do that? >> this no, no, no. patrick this, this wage is not some sort of illegitimate, outstanding demand. you know, there was £37 billion spent on test and trace . if you want to know why the government have gone to war with the for the doctors but have money for other things, including the triple the average triple lock google, the average age of tory voter. why age of the tory voter. why aren't they why aren't the nhs wages subject a triple lock ? wages subject to a triple lock? >> okay. i mean , i have to ask a >> okay. i mean, i have to ask a question here, patrick, if i may

i >> -- >> fraser m >> fraser you are >> fraser you are talking to somebody who did go to australia with a junior doctor. you know, when we were significantly younger and, and yes, the wage rates are higher there. but as patrick has quite rightly said, the, the, the system is part insurance funded . the issue here insurance funded. the issue here is why are junior doctors and now consultants going on strike for conditions that are far better than any other sector. i've done my research this afternoon. do you realise , afternoon. do you realise, fraser, that the nhs pays the. you're shaking your head. i haven't even said what i've got to say. the pays employers contributions for ni at over 28% compared with the private sector where employers pay 8. all right, well . right, well. >> well. okay. what do you mean ? so you're saying that the about the pensions. i'm going to throw it over to rob rob timing this perfectly in line with

conservative party conference. this is this is political. conservative party conference. this is this is political . it's this is this is political. it's not patience, rob, is it ? not about patience, rob, is it? >> it's absolutely about patience, because as i think as you know, the last but one contributor said that doctors are fighting for the nhs, for patients as against the backlogs. you know, let's be clear, the these are taking action but they are not responsible for the waiting list. they're not responsible for the backlogs . patrick, when for the backlogs. patrick, when you talk about militant, let's be clear, this is the this is the only the second time in about four decades, the junior doctors have taken action consultants. some of these are probably regard themselves as some of them tory voters in the past , we've some of them tory voters in the past, we've had in the last year the rcn union for the first time in its history , taking action. in its history, taking action. i tell you what, these are workers who've had an absolute gutsful are taking action. the government shouldn't worry about their conference. they should get to the negotiating table today to resolve this dispute.

>> these are workers and support their cause . their cause. >> okay, well, yeah. >> okay, well, yeah. >> come on. negotiating table. the bma refused to negotiate it. they released into the public document outs that were confidential and they were communicating with each other by whatsapp during the meeting rather than actually negotiating , they made a complete fool of themselves during negotiations. you need to read up about what the bma is doing to the profession. it is an utter disgrace the way the bma is behaving . yeah. okay. behaving. yeah. okay. >> fraser on average , on >> fraser on average, on average, if we're having a look at the amount of money that gets pumped our public sector as pumped into our public sector as opposed sector on opposed to our private sector on on average, the wages in the pubuc on average, the wages in the public sector are higher than the average in the private sector . why should our junior sector. why should our junior doctors and our consultants be getting another bumper pay rise? i'm looking at it here now. the pay i'm looking at it here now. the pay for junior doctors will be increased of increased by an average of around 8.8. that what was around 8.8. that was what was published on the 13th july published on the 13th of july this year. that's enough, isn't it? well in terms of overall

money sloshing around , i don't money sloshing around, i don't think an actual think there'll be an actual comparison . comparison. >> depends how you look at comparison. >> data.»ends how you look at comparison. >> data. the; how you look at comparison. >> data. the point ow you look at comparison. >> data. the point is, you look at comparison. >> data. the point is, if)u look at the data. the point is, if you're junior you're talking about junior doctors, you're talking about people working 50 hour weeks, you're talking about people who have own have to pay for their own training, pay for their own exams and you're talking of people who give their people who give up their weekends, who give up their nights weeks, who get nights every six weeks, who get no overtime bonuses. now, all these things expected these things aren't expected in these things aren't expected in the sector. so i don't the private sector. so i don't know why comparing the know why we're comparing the two. the fact is, for a relatively small amount of government money, this dispute could conference government money, this dispute could ahead conference government money, this dispute could ahead as conference government money, this dispute could ahead as as1ference government money, this dispute could ahead as as scheduled. could go ahead as as scheduled. >> okay . i will go to you, rob, >> okay. i will go to you, rob, before i go for the final word from rebecca. yeah, i mean, look , is this not just militancy and people will die as a result? this is the thing. it's one thing when train strikers train drivers go on strike. it's another thing if a consultant on 130 year decides to go 130 grand a year decides to go on strike and somebody as on strike and somebody dies as a result, 120,000 people result, we had 120,000 people were revealed to have died in the for the last year waiting for nhs treatment . treatment. >> yeah, but those people, unfortunately and tragically died because the nhs is

disastrous situation and it's because these junior doctors and the consultants and nurses and all the other health professionals are keeping the nhs going long. and look, some of these junior doctors have got student debts of up to £80,000. >> this government took away nurses bursaries . we've got nurses bursaries. we've got consultants here that are not on £130,000 a year. >> these are workers fighting for the nhs and we should support them. >> okay . i mean, there is an >> okay. i mean, there is an argument, of course, isn't there , that a lot of the people who will be on a lot will be dying will be on a lot less than a lot the less money than a lot of the people a worse pensions people with a lot worse pensions than on than those that were going on strike as well. because otherwise maybe they would afford but afford to go private. but rebecca, i'll give final rebecca, i'll give the final word this you've just word to you on this. you've just heard chaps have heard what those two chaps have had anything had to say, anything to anything to come back on. >> i have. first of >> well, yes, i have. first of all, debt is alone. all, student debt is not alone. it's a tax and it's a it's actually a tax and it's a tax on earnings . and it is quite tax on earnings. and it is quite right people who have high right that people who have high paid should pay back the paid jobs should pay back the education that they get given in order to have the high paid job.

can't you can't be that bad. would you rather know, rather live here or, you know, mozambique ? mozambique? >> that's question you >> that's not the question you asked. and that's not the point. patrick we're supposed to be the fifth biggest the fifth biggest economy in the world. supposed the world. we're supposed to be the mother of democracies , for mother of all democracies, for heaven's we're the heaven's sake. and yet we're the most highly taxed. and yet our taxes , you nothing taxes, as you know, nothing works. broken. works. everything's broken. i mean, haven't even finished the list, for heaven's sake. we're not training enough doctors . you not training enough doctors. you know, our students are being kicked out so that illegals know, our students are being kick be out so that illegals know, our students are being kick be nicely that illegals know, our students are being kickbe nicely housed. illegals know, our students are being kickbe nicely housed. thegals know, our students are being kickbe nicely housed. the wind can be nicely housed. the wind farms are falling over. can be nicely housed. the wind farms are falling over . they're farms are falling over. they're catching fire when wind farm developers are not building the wind farms that they promised to build . even they are, if build. and even if they are, if you sit on a nice barge you want to sit on a nice barge just the south coast, it just off the south coast, it turns you can't even trust turns out you can't even trust the water in the water tanks because that's got legionella . i because that's got legionella. i mean, place not only mean, the place is not only broken patrick, becoming broken, patrick, it's becoming ungovernable . so you've got ungovernable. so you've got civil unions rebelling civil service unions rebelling against government, civil service unions rebelling against government , the against the government, the civil servants itself refusing to do what ministers do. you've got londoner's anarchy with the ulez cameras against the mayor. for heaven's sake. you've got

feral youths roaming the streets, not fearing shoplifting laws. i mean, tell me what works in this country. the place is absolutely shot to bits. >> i mean , i'm much you're just >> i mean, i'm much you're just looking at flights to mozambique. now that you've said that, i think maybe, maybe, maybe be going over maybe i should be going over there. but come on, who's broken it, though, richard? this is the thing, to it, though, richard? this is the thinidea to it, though, richard? this is the thinidea that to it, though, richard? this is the thinidea that we've to it, though, richard? this is the thinidea that we've become to the idea that we've become ungovernable. now, i get that the conservative government have made and there's made mistakes and there's unquestionably have unquestionably they should have done differently. i done things differently. but i done things differently. but i do feel as though we are a nafion do feel as though we are a nation now of people who say no to everything and complain about everything as opposed to actually. >> but i'll tell you what. yeah, but i'll tell you why that is. because because if you pay high taxes, you don't you you'd be more inclined to accept paying it if everything worked. but the reality is that in so many areas , utter incompetence, complete lack of responsibility, a lack of accountability , a lack of, of accountability, a lack of, frankly, what i call sackable ability has meant that nothing

gets done and you look around in other countries as well, run countries, and you say, actually, this place works mean you don't need a watch in switzerland . you just look at switzerland. you just look at the train timetable and you know , heaven's , that's the time. for heaven's sake, can't we do that? sake, why can't we do that? that's the sort ambition we that's the sort of ambition we should have. you look at our waiting lists in nhs, the waiting lists in the nhs, the highest ever. you've no how highest ever. you've no idea how many. long it will take many. how long it will take before get a hip replacement before you get a hip replacement or something done. so we can do so much better. we have to be aspirational. patrick. but you have to hold people to account and frankly, people who don't perform, you have to sack them . perform, you have to sack them. >> so you actually think that maybe being able to sack more people might increase things like productivity ? et cetera. like productivity? et cetera. but i wonder as well, richard , but i wonder as well, richard, though, as whether though, i wonder as well whether or we used to be a nation or not we used to be a nation that i think had huge amount that i think had a huge amount of that's of national pride, and that's why to suck why people were willing to suck things the things up for the good of the nation. help but nation. and i can't help but feel we've lost that a feel as though we've lost that a little i think little bit, really. and i think that's shame . that's a real shame. >> have to suck >> why should we have to suck things sake? things up, for heaven's sake? why more ambition?

why can't we move more ambition? say i want zero waiting lists. i want the trains to run on time. i the hospitals to be the i want the hospitals to be the best the world. that's the best in the world. that's the sort of ambition we need. we don't suck anything up. don't need to suck anything up. we to say to people, this we need to say to people, this is your job. get done. don't is yourjob. get it done. don't paint flags on road crossings. focus on on looking after patients, getting them in the hospital, out of the hospital, in the surgery. out of the surgery . if you do in the surgery. out of the surgery. if you do this in the surgery. out of the surgery . if you do this stuff, surgery. if you do this stuff, you focus relentlessly on the customer , the person who's customer, the person who's paying customer, the person who's paying the bill. and that's what happensin paying the bill. and that's what happens in the private sector. guess what? things get done . guess what? things get done. action happens, you know, and that's what we want. >> well, you know what? i agree with a lot of what you said there, thank you very, there, richard. thank you very, very and as richard tice very much. and as richard tice there, of there, who is the leader of reform , to fair on him reform uk, who to be fair on him as say , he's come reform uk, who to be fair on him as he's say , he's come reform uk, who to be fair on him as he's off. ay , he's come reform uk, who to be fair on him as he's off. at, he's come reform uk, who to be fair on him as he's off. at least come reform uk, who to be fair on him as he's off. at least he'sa on, he's paid off. at least he's trying put money trying to put his money where his and going his mouth is and going to politics something about politics and do something about it. parish it. i have got neil parish joining , who is, of joining me now, who is, of course, former conservative course, a former conservative mp. neil good stuff. look, you've just heard richard tice

there say britain is broken. and you know what? you're lot broke. it >> well well, patrick, i was you know, i was feeling depressed before i listened to richard and now i'm feeling a lot more depressed. but seriously , there depressed. but seriously, there are real problems and i think they need to be sorted . and i they need to be sorted. and i think, you know, i go back really right back to to covid be honest with you. and i think we've never really picked up since . i we've never really picked up since. i think we've never really picked up since . i think had since. i think we had an attitude where, you know, naturally, perhaps psychologically , you know, the psychologically, you know, the main to survive . and main thing is to survive. and the is to live . the main thing is, is to live. and so a lot of people have decided to take things quite a lot easier. and i think that's what's snowballed. i mean, i run a farm, a farming business. it's quite difficult to get people to do things, you know, on time and building work is almost impossible. and so then you go back to the fact the schools , back to the fact the schools, you know, have not been repaired . now that incompetence . . now that is incompetence. there's no doubt about that either , either from the local either, either from the local authorities or from the

government or from a country start working. >> neil, neil, this country has stopped working the most basic of appear to be of things now appear to be beyond the wit of man to be able to do not just a barge to house a load of illegal migrants on or a load of illegal migrants on or a base that yesterday one bit of it up for goodness sake. it blew up for goodness sake. but also the other stuff like you've just there, know but also the other stuff like y aboutjust there, know but also the other stuff like yabout general there, know but also the other stuff like yabout general there, worksw but also the other stuff like yabout general there, works , , about general building works, you know, things that need to be done in terms of basic infrastructure, motorway infrastructure, a smart motorway , the cameras we on the , the cameras that we use on the smart steam up. so you smart motorway steam up. so you have at the sun so have to point them at the sun so they're looking the they're not looking at the traffic and people crash and die. i mean, is laughable. die. i mean, it is laughable. i get you're laughing die. i mean, it is laughable. i get i'm you're laughing die. i mean, it is laughable. i get i'm not you're laughing die. i mean, it is laughable. i get i'm not diggingyu're laughing die. i mean, it is laughable. i get i'm not digging you laughing die. i mean, it is laughable. i get i'm not digging you outghing die. i mean, it is laughable. i get i'm not digging you out for1g and i'm not digging you out for it. there it. but you know, there is a serious undertone here. but but this is the thing. and people people lobbing money at people are lobbing tax money at this country, left, right and centre, paying arguably higher than they've ever paid terms than they've ever paid in terms of tax. and they're getting now for it. come how do we fix for it. come on, how do we fix this? is it is it attitude? is it work ethic? what is it ? it work ethic? what is it? >> it's a bit it's partly worth ethic. not from everybody, but from some. think there's from some. i think there's still actually too many people working from because some people

from home because some people work home. other work well from home. other people think people don't. and i think there's issues are there's a lot of issues are really actually getting the economy really going. i think the service , a lot of the health service, a lot of that is we've never really that down is we've never really tackled the administration properly in the health service. so we over administer it and under—deliver . there's no doubt under—deliver. there's no doubt about that. and don't forget , about that. and don't forget, i'm not sitting mp i'm not a sitting tory mp anymore, so i can i can have a fairly independent view, but i wouldn't go as far as to say richard , everything is bad in richard, everything is bad in this country . richard, everything is bad in this country. i mean, i've travelled, to to, travelled, you know, to to, dnven travelled, you know, to to, driven to italy recently with the family and i actually thought the european countries were fine, but i didn't think they were any better than us. and i you'll find we can and i think you'll find we can actually pull ourselves together . do we need to . but i do think we need to govern properly. i think the civil service does have some answers to, you know, has has to face some questions because, you know, they don't always want to deliver the unions want to politically bring down the tory government because they think they'll get more under labour . they'll get more under labour. interesting with rachel reeves

because she says she's going to p99 because she says she's going to peg so they may not because she says she's going to pegwhat so they may not because she says she's going to pegwhat they so they may not because she says she's going to pegwhat they desire ey may not because she says she's going to pegwhat they desire . may not because she says she's going to pegwhat they desire . so ay not because she says she's going to pegwhat they desire . so there's get what they desire. so there's a lot politics in the strikes a lot of politics in the strikes at the moment as well as the living standards. i get all that . but you i we . but you know, i think we really want to pull together . but you know, i think we retthe want to pull together . but you know, i think we retthe moment pull together . but you know, i think we retthe moment we )ull together . but you know, i think we retthe moment we want,gether . but you know, i think we retthe moment we want, butier . but you know, i think we retthe moment we want, but we at the moment we want, but we need a leader. >> this is the thing. need a >> this is the thing. we need a leader that is not afraid to annoy a fair few people and stand up for what they actually believe in and stop putting sticking plasters things and sticking plasters on things and take some drastic take some serious, drastic action. agree with you action. i will agree with you and this something and i think this is something that lost lot. there that that gets lost a lot. there are people in are a huge amount of people in this country who sit here and are a huge amount of people in this c(about who sit here and are a huge amount of people in this c(about widayt here and are a huge amount of people in this c(about widay in|ere and are a huge amount of people in this c(about widay in day and are a huge amount of people in this c(about widay in day out, moan about it day in day out, hate it. well, hate our history. i think we're all evil , but then i think we're all evil, but then decide to not go and live anywhere else. i'll tell you where the nearest airport is . i where the nearest airport is. i will myself. if will drive you there myself. if you much, will drive you there myself. if you you much, will drive you there myself. if you you can much, will drive you there myself. if you you can jog much, will drive you there myself. if you you can jog on. much, will drive you there myself. if you you can jog on. so much, then you can jog on. so actually, is fair to say , actually, it is fair to say, isn't it, we still isn't it, that we are still better than most countries? i believe so. >> i mean, like i said, i've been travelling now for about a fortnight and i came and fortnight and i came home and i must admit when i get home, i actually believe this is the

best place to live. now we need to do more. we need to do better. let's not be as better. but let's not be as pessimistic as richard , because pessimistic as richard, because i think you'll find a lot of british people actually love this . the trouble is we this country. the trouble is we have got great ability of have got a great ability of actually downgrading our own country. and i think that is wrong. and so the government's got to get it right. civil servants got get it right, servants got to get it right, and to pull together . and we've got to pull together. but not keep but like i said, let's not keep sort of knocking our country because in the end, you only you only the others that are only help the others that are competing with us because the economy to grow and we economy needs to grow and we need to grow it. and basically, you know, if i can be blunt, we do actually need to work harder because we do think you'll find we do need work harder . we do need to work harder. >> i'm you that. and >> i'm with you on that. and people on, go, oh, people bang on, they go, oh, well, always run on well, the trains always run on time yeah, but then time in germany. yeah, but then one those trains takes you one of those trains takes you to leipzig he wants leipzig and he wants to go there. you very there. thank you very, very much. great to you. much. great to have you. neil parish. neil parish there, former conservative mp. right. coming has been on display. hypocrisy has been on display. yes, this winds me right up courtesy of actress and eco warrior emma thompson. should

celebrities just shut up about the so—called climate catastrophe? i think they should . i think there are a bunch of frothing raging hypocrites . frothing raging hypocrites. that's coming up that's our debate coming up next. christys

>> the people's channel, britain's news . >> the people's channel, britain's news. channel >> the people's channel, britain's news . channel welcome back. >> it's 5:21. you're watching and listening to me. patrick christys on gb news now. climate protesters have struck again, this time interrupting a performance of romeo and juliet

at london's sadler's wells theatre , demanding an end to the theatre, demanding an end to the theatre's partnership with barclays. yeah i know. it comes as more climate hypocrisy has been on display, courtesy of actress and eco warrior emma thompson. she's been spotted cruising around on a £200 million super yacht in venice , million super yacht in venice, andifs million super yacht in venice, and it's not the first time she's been caught out being a hypocrite over climate action. after up thousands of after racking up thousands of air from la to air miles flying from la to london to join an extinction rebellion, demonstrator station. so i am asking, should celebrities just shut up about the climate catastrophe? joining me now is the director at climate media coalition , danica climate media coalition, danica mccarthy and deputy director at net—zero. watch andrew mumford . net—zero. watch andrew mumford. both of you, thank you very much. great to have you on the show. you think show. andrew, do you think celebrities should about celebrities should shut up about the crisis ? the climate crisis? >> absolutely . >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> i mean, they know very little about about climate . they know about about climate. they know very little about the responses to climate. and yeah , all they

to climate. and yeah, all they do is they are they are trying to sell themselves as virtuous people, but in reality , you people, but in reality, you know, they they're not doing anything useful at all. >> so, yes, i think shutting up would be a very useful contribution . would be a very useful con.uthion. would be a very useful con.uthioryou actually practise >> .uk are you actually practise what you preach, right in your day and very day to day life and that's very noble worthy . noble of you and very worthy. but people thompson do but people like emma thompson do not. up ? not. should they shut up? >> there are millions of people who are concerned about the climate the climate crisis climate and the climate crisis who say , who actually, as you say, practise what we preach and no , practise what we preach and no, i wouldn't want them to shut up, but i would want them to practise preach . so practise what we preach. so ideally, thompson should keep ideally, as thompson should keep talking the greatest talking about, the greatest crisis we're facing as as crisis we're ever facing as as enunciated by margaret thatcher. but i would like to see private jets banned and i would like to see superyachts banned. i mean, i what's really good about i think what's really good about the story , patrick, the daily mail story, patrick, is that it highlights a huge carbon footprint for superyachts one. superyacht emits . 7000 one. superyacht emits. 7000 tonnes of carbon a year. that's the equivalent of 12,000 homes.

electricity they are absolutely abhorrent. and i hope andrew montford will agree with me that both private jets and super jets superyachts should be banned . superyachts should be banned. >> okay. all right. i mean , >> okay. all right. i mean, andrew, firstly, do you agree with the idea of banning the superyacht? i mean, maybe this is done. is what emma thompson has done. she's to she's gone deep undercover to expose shocking reality of she's gone deep undercover to expos> you know, these people . >> you know, these people. >> you know, these people. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> if they've got lots of money, i think they should be allowed to they spend. to spend what they spend. >> what they want. >> spend it on what they want. um, but yeah, i think the, the hypocrisy is, is, is, is so widespread, we actually a few years ago we had a climate hypocrite of the year competition at net zero. >> watch which we called the emma's named after ms >> thompson um which was which was a lot of fun and there are so many of these people doing these things. >> i mean, there was one wonderful extinction rebellion

protester who had posted pictures on facebook of her trips to uganda to new zealand, to the french alps , and then to the french alps, and then rolled straight into bristol to tell everybody that they travelled too much. i mean, it is it is an absolutely shameless and the thing is, these these people, when they say they want people, when they say they want people to travel less, they don't mean themselves . they mean don't mean themselves. they mean other people. well, it does . other people. well, it does. >> let me ask. yeah, let me ask danica to come back, because to be danica, be honest with you, danica, it does bit that. does look a bit like that. leonardo dicaprio, he's had more private jets than i've had hot dinners. think dinners. you know, i do think where there's a there's not where there's not a there's not a disagreement here. where there's not a there's not a dthe'eement here. where there's not a there's not a dthe hypocrisy ere. where there's not a there's not a dthe hypocrisyere. problem >> the hypocrisy is a problem for people who are spokespersons and i advocate that all spokespersons practise spokespersons should practise what preach. actually, what we preach. but actually, what we preach. but actually, what to at what if we're going to look at hypocrisy and we should be calling it the sunak , not the calling it the sunak, not the emma's, because look , rishi emma's, because look, rishi sunak claims as his government that we're actually aiming for net zero and he takes private jets every where jets just about every where helicopter the road . and helicopter go down the road. and helicopter go down the road. and he he's a second home he takes he's got a second home in got an in california. he's got an electric swimming pool up north

somewhere. his electric swimming pool uses something like 20 or 30 houses worth of electricity. so what we should be doing is helping the poor cut their carbon and ensure the carbon emissions and ensure the rich are taxed or banned from squandering okay. rich are taxed or banned from suneah.ing okay. rich are taxed or banned from suneah. donaldbkay. rich are taxed or banned from suneah. donald can i just sit >> yeah. donald can i just sit with you? this is by the way, not be some of not supposed to be some kind of gotcha genuinely just gotcha thing. i'm genuinely just fascinated. gotcha thing. i'm genuinely just fasabroad. gotcha thing. i'm genuinely just fasabroad ? go abroad? >> i've the only time i will go abroad if it's for an actual conference that requires it. i've gone abroad once. i think, in 20 years. right sorry. once flown once for a holiday. i've flown. i've not flown for a houdayin flown. i've not flown for a holiday in 20 years. >> but you do fly for conferences. go on, talk me through these. >> i've this once . >> i've done this once. >> i've done this once. >> it's worth the >> if i think it's worth the investment to actually save the planet. think some travel planet. so i think some travel may be necessary or we need to cut is unnecessary travel cut out is unnecessary travel such as jets by the such as private jets by the likes of emma thompson. >> right. andrew, do >> okay. all right. andrew, do you think, though , that it just you think, though, that it just fundamentally any fundamentally undermines any kind of public towards kind of public sympathy towards , you know, people like extinction rebellion , really? extinction rebellion, really? because time we do because the next time we do see a would

because the next time we do see a that would because the next time we do see a that maybe would because the next time we do see a that maybe they're/ould because the next time we do see a that maybe they're doing argue that maybe they're doing it for virtue, signalling it for their virtue, signalling as thought was an as if they thought it was an emergency. is thing, emergency. this is the thing, right? thought it right? if she really thought it was the same way was an emergency in the same way that that danica think it's that that danica does think it's an . right. you would an emergency. right. you would not on yachts. you would not not be on yachts. you would not be on private jets. you wouldn't do it if you thought it was that imminent . imminent. >> yeah, i mean, i think that's absolutely right. i mean, there there are so many people who who are talking the talk , but, you are talking the talk, but, you know, they're not willing to walk the walk. um, i think you know, it has to if you are if you really felt it was an emergency, though, you would have to go much further than just banning wanting to ban private jets. that smacks more of sort of, you know, socially ism jealousy, that sort of thing, rather than actually wanting to do anything about it. you know, most jet emissions for example, are not margaret thatcher is no socialist. margaret thatcher. >> all right. all right. i'll come back to you, monica. go on. go on, andrew. andrew finish

your yeah your point. go on. yeah >> know, the rich. yeah. >> so you know, the rich. yeah. okay. a super yacht does emit a lot of fuel for six people, but that's about . that's about that's about. that's about jealousy rather than absolute amounts of co2 emissions. so, yeah, i think we probably ought to be, you know , if people are to be, you know, if people are serious about this , they're serious about this, they're going to have to address what poor people are doing and that's their problem. >> i think that's i think , yeah, >> i think that's i think, yeah, get to ordinary . i think >> i think that's i think, yeah, get to ordinary. i think i think i think part of the perception .uk part of the perception with a activism a lot of kind of eco activism etcetera is that people who can either afford to make changes in their lives or people who can afford to their car and afford to sell their car and get an or etcetera, an electric one or etcetera, etcetera, that etcetera, etcetera, do that stuff . people who can afford to stuff. people who can afford to virtue signal. there's lot stuff. people who can afford to virpeopleial. there's lot stuff. people who can afford to virpeople who there's lot stuff. people who can afford to virpeople who are :here's lot stuff. people who can afford to virpeople who are atre's lot stuff. people who can afford to virpeople who are at the lot stuff. people who can afford to virpeople who are at the lower of people who are at the lower end of the economic spectrum , end of the economic spectrum, um, who are disadvantaged more greatly by some of the policies that we would need to impose in order to look after our environment. would you agree with that's actually with that? no that's actually a misunderstanding of the

situation where we are agreed on is that the rich emit far more carbon than the poor. >> so, for example 52% of carbon emissions come from the top 10. so i do think it would be good to target them first and to ensure that policies are in place to ensure that the poor are. >> what would you do of interest on that on that? no, because that's right? that's interesting, right? because to me because it's obvious to me anyway, that rich people do emit more, which is why i find it so infuriating when rich people blag to me about the climate. right. but when you . what would right. but when you. what would you do, though? i mean, what would you ban rich people. okay so a number of things we could do that would actually, i think are fair. >> you would actually every time you a frequent flyer you would have a frequent flyer charge. the more flights you charge. so the more flights you take, higher price you pay. take, the higher price you pay. but how does that help, though? because it also get rid of the standing charge on on on on energy bills , the standing energy bills, the standing charge on electricity and gas is a a coal tax on people. a is a coal tax on poor people. so people like in a one bedroom pensioner paying the same

pensioner is paying the same standing charge as rishi sunak who has to have a substation to supply the huge amount of electricity it's consuming. why should it ? should it? >> oh. oh. we lost .uk. well, ironically, there's been a power cut around at danica's house. there we go. but i think we got the gist , there we go. but i think we got the gist, didn't we? the director of the climate media coalition, mccarthy coalition, danica mccarthy there, and the deputy director of zero watch, andrew of net zero watch, andrew mumford, of net zero watch, andrew murchaps, we're going have of net zero watch, andrew mlgo haps, we're going have of net zero watch, andrew mlgo .3ps, we're going have of net zero watch, andrew mlgo . you've're going have to go. you've re—emerged in time for goodbye . i've got for me to say goodbye. i've got to the news. so thank to go to the news. so thank you very right. in very much. all right. see you in a loads still a bit. anyway, loads more still to 6:00, to come between now and 6:00, we'll be talking or even taking a look inside the begging gangs in britain, which have been exposed , is making hundreds of exposed, is making hundreds of pounds a day, thousands of pounds a day, thousands of pounds a day . pounds a day, thousands of pounds a day. is it pounds a day, thousands of pounds a day . is it ever right pounds a day. is it ever right to give money to a beggar? i have been out and about asking people on the streets actually whether or not they would ever give money to a beggar. but right now your at lisa right now it's your news at lisa hartle .

back to their council houses just a few miles away in bristol. so we're asking should we ever give money to beggars? i decided to go to the streets. i mean, where else to see whether or not people are ever sceptical of beggars? should they give them take it away, people. >> no, my heart goes out to them. >> i you know , you wonder what's >> i you know, you wonder what's happened them . you know, we happened to them. you know, we have to deal with this. it's, you know , in a in a you know, in a in a compassionate society, we have to deal with homeless people. >> we can't just ignore them. >> we can't just ignore them. >> is it right to give them money, do you think ? money, do you think? >> well , they might be spending >> well, they might be spending it on drugs or alcohol. you just don't know . don't know. >> don't say it's wrong , but >> don't say it's wrong, but don't assume that that money is going to necessitate us. >> you're better off letting the appropriate services deal with it. when if i think if i give them money, they might give it. they might use it on drugs or alcohol . and if i'm going to alcohol. and if i'm going to give i'd rather give them something, i'd rather give them something, i'd rather give food or hot drink give them food or a hot drink

rather than the money itself. >> yeah, from time to time . not >> yeah, from time to time. not every time, but i do . every time, but i do. >> i do. i do try not to judge people . people. >> i feed them. >> i feed them. >> i feed them. >> i ask them . >> i ask them. >> i ask them. >> i ask them. >> i ask them if they're hungry , buy them food . , buy them food. >> right. right. >> right. right. >> well, let's speak to someone now with some firsthand experience of dealing with people on the streets. gary hayes is a former british transport police officer. gary, look, thank you very, very much . and again, when get on . and again, when you get on trains et cetera. do see trains, et cetera. you do see these who come down the these people who come down the trains and often they've got those , don't they, those little notes, don't they, saying, l, those little notes, don't they, saying, i, i don't saying, oh, you know, i, i don't know. i've got an ill kid. can you out? the you please help me out? the suspicion there and i always feel awful saying this, but the suspicion is that they're suspicion there is that they're blagging absolutely right. >> and i think what people need to realise is that you know, take away the empathy side of it and look at the person , the part and look at the person, the part of major criminal gangs that are benefiting from the goodwill and the good nature of people who are assuming that these individuals are struggling and they need help .

they need help. >> the money very rarely goes to the individual collecting. it's often collected by somebody else along the chain and is obviously used for other criminal activities and to fund any other sort of form of criminality. it's an unfortunate sort of set of circumstances we find ourselves in, especially on the rail network at this time . rail network at this time. >> but those people presumably the people who are actually going around actually asking for money, they're obviously at the low end of this criminal organisation and they they get on a minibus or go wherever at the end of the day and there's some mr big waiting and they give the money. so give them the, the money. so those doing the those people actually doing the begging ironically probably are in of a bit of help in need of a bit of help themselves. they are part of themselves. but they are part of a bigger gang. that right. a bigger gang. is that right. >> suggest that is right >> i would suggest that is right and you know you need to look at it for what is. and you know you need to look at it for what is . these are it for what it is. these are well gangs , well well organised gangs, well organised people , and whilst the organised people, and whilst the individual doing the begging, whether it be the selling of tissues on trains or just simply

walking about with a cup , they walking about with a cup, they will receive very little or probably nothing from the amount of money they've collected on that day . they may be given food that day. they may be given food at some stage or something to drink, but invariably they will not see the sort of rewards of their day's efforts . their day's efforts. >> yeah, so that's the other reason, because the next question i was going to say was , should we ever give money to homeless or to or to homeless people or to or to beggars? the answer that beggars? and the answer that people usually give well , i people usually give is, well, i would give them food. i wouldn't necessarily give them money because i'd worried that necessarily give them money becausspend worried that necessarily give them money becausspend it worried that necessarily give them money becausspend it on'ried that necessarily give them money becausspend it on drinkhat necessarily give them money becausspend it on drink or they'd spend it on drink or drugs, really, which, you know, is a problem. it's often one of the reasons why people might be on streets. the kind of on the streets. but the kind of people walking up and people who are walking up and down to be little down trains tend to be a little bit suppose bit different. i mean, i suppose then the argument would be there's giving them there's no point giving them money going there's no point giving them m you know, but individual who is coming across and giving these people money, it's often very intimidating and uncomfortable for a person when

they're confronted with a beggah they're confronted with a beggar, whether they be an aggressive beggar or otherwise, because let's face it, the beggars stood in front of you on a packed commuter train. >> you will feel obliged to give them something just so they move away from you and take the problem away from you. um, i feel, personally, it's better to give nothing because obviously you're just encouraging the act. they've often committed offences to get onto the rail network anyway , and it's just anyway, and it's just reinforcing the fact that it's okay for them to be there and do it when in fact it's, it's not a lawful act. and unfortunately, as we've just said, people do feel extremely uncomfortable when you've got an individual in front of you. >> it is it is uncomfortable, especially when they linger, unger especially when they linger, linger then i always linger around. but then i always feel the thing, isn't feel this is the thing, isn't it? then you always it? because then you always think, i, i not think, well, am i, am i not giving money to the to the to the genuine person? and you see some them and some of them some of them and some of them appear pregnant, whether some of them and some of them ap not' pregnant, whether some of them and some of them ap not they pregnant, whether some of them and some of them ap not they actually nt, whether some of them and some of them ap not they actually are, vhether some of them and some of them ap not they actually are, you her or not they actually are, you

never know, do you? i mean, no one's actually one's ever no one ever actually feels one's ever no one ever actually feelif a fake because then see if it's a fake because then , probably get , you know, probably get arrested rightly arrested for that. and rightly so. a tricky so. but it is a tricky situation. i think it tugs on the heartstrings a lot. i suppose it's each to their own. if wants to part with if somebody wants to part with some of their money and give some of their own money and give it then some of their own money and give it got then some of their own money and give it got to then some of their own money and give it got to be then some of their own money and give it got to be do n they've got to be free to do that. but i think maybe people should that there that. but i think maybe people sho these that there that. but i think maybe people sho these they that there that. but i think maybe people sho these they are that there that. but i think maybe people sho these they are there1at there that. but i think maybe people sho these they are there are :here are these they are there are criminal gangs at play here. and it's often , i think, as you were it's often, i think, as you were alluding to, part of a bigger operation they've probably alluding to, part of a bigger operygot1 they've probably alluding to, part of a bigger operygot a they've probably alluding to, part of a bigger operygot a lot they've probably alluding to, part of a bigger operygot a lot tothere probably alluding to, part of a bigger operygot a lot tother side)ably also got a lot of other side hustles but gary, thank hustles as well. but gary, thank you for coming on. you very much for coming on. much appreciated. i appreciate you making the time for us, especially on a friday evening. gary hayes is a former british transport officer. right. transport police officer. right. still come, why has the still to come, why has the passenger of a car in the united states been making headlines? it will not be for the reason that you're guessing, by the way, this video is absolutely hilarious . and agnes, for vegas. hilarious. and agnes, for vegas. hank. yeah they make the list of storm names for next season, but who chooses them and why? patrick christys gb news,

channel >> welcome back. you are watching me. patrick christys on gb news. and now police in nebraska. look, it's friday afternoon, all right? let's have nebraska. look, it's friday afbitnoon, all right? let's have nebraska. look, it's friday afbitnocthis.l right? let's have nebraska. look, it's friday afbitnocthis. police? let's have a bit of this. police in nebraska to calls of nebraska responding to calls of a driving with what they a man driving with what they initially thought was a cow in his car. were left stunned, stunned to discover a local man with a huge watusi bull riding

shotgun in his vehicle. check this out, ladies and gents. okay, so captain john raymond told local news agencies in nebraska they thought that it was going to be some kind of calf or something small, but could actually look at that , could actually look at that, that seriously. he had that in his car. but in fact, it was a watusi bull, which is a breed of cattle, famous in africa with gigantic horns. the driver was identified as lee meyer. police performed a traffic stop. i'm not surprised . meyer told them not surprised. meyer told them that the bulls name was howdy doody. there you go . so howdy doody. there you go. so howdy doody. there you go. so howdy doody in the car there with a whopping great big bull. and look, loads of you have been getting in touch with your proposal stories just to run us off for the hour. they are getting better. not getting better and better. not a lot of gb romantics out lot of gb news romantics out there , it must be said, there, it must be said, actually. and yeah , there's a actually. and yeah, there's a load getting touch actually. and yeah, there's a lo'say getting touch actually. and yeah, there's a lo'say patrick, getting touch actually. and yeah, there's a lo'say patrick, ijetting touch actually. and yeah, there's a lo'say patrick, i was 1g touch actually. and yeah, there's a lo'say patrick, i was proposedh to say patrick, i was proposed to say patrick, i was proposed to tube home from bethnal to on the tube home from bethnal green in 1970. fantastic and

there is one here as well, saying i was proposed to in a hospital whilst covered in blood after a road traffic accident. i was concussed, but i decided to say yes. so there we go. these views coming in, we've had some absolutely amazing proposal stories. and the reason i've been asking you was because so people men are now paying companies , thousands, tens of companies, thousands, tens of thousands in one case, hundreds of thousands of pounds to come up about how they can up with ideas about how they can propose partner says propose to their partner says yes. if there's yes. i wonder if there's a little entrapment that little bit of entrapment that goes there. the time goes on there. but the time you've jet and you've hired the private jet and bought the violinist and bought all of this stuff, i mean, she bought the violinist and bought all of reallytuff, i mean, she bought the violinist and bought all ofreally say i mean, she bought the violinist and bought all ofreally say i ncan, she i can't really say no, can she? i mean, i find that bit mean, i find that a little bit much. anyway , michelle much. but anyway, michelle dewberry studio dewberry joins me in the studio now. up we'll dewbs & co now. up next, we'll be dewbs& co you right there. >> was just listening to >> yeah, i was just listening to that story, right? i've that last story, right? i've never to in all of never been proposed to in all of my life. >> w- my life. >> must make that point clear. >> but and is probably why >> but and this is probably why i've not been prepared to, quite frankly, because when listen i've not been prepared to, quite frathat because when listen i've not been prepared to, quite frathat story,jse when listen i've not been prepared to, quite frathat story, ie when listen i've not been prepared to, quite frathat story, i think n listen i've not been prepared to, quite frathat story, i think n iman to that story, i think if a man needs agency to be needs to pay an agency to be

inspired in order to figure out the best way to propose to their partner, you shouldn't be marrying that guy. no, i think that guy lacks creativity. those guys, plural, they lack creativity, creates gravity. they just lack a little bit of, you know, something saying i wouldn't marry them. >> but do you not think as well, though, like, i'm not being funny, but if i had like, gone down the and mates, how down the pub and my mates, how did how did you did you prepare? how did you propose, how prepare? did you prepare? how did you prop
